The Vanes always were proud and
aristocratic people; but, il we have
ever stood up for one thing more than
another, ii was for honest labor in the
house or the field or the shop or any
where. l hate the aristocracy of doing
nothing. All my boys learned a trade,

than hear their piano. Sit right there,
dear, and be comfortable"
Barbara had not been in the house
half an hour before she was deeply
in love with the lady of IL. After an
hour had passed she was astonished
at Mrs. Vane's knowledge OF human
nature and her grasp of the subject of
servants and housekeeping problems
generally.
"people will tell you, my dear, that
am an eccentric old lady with good
many crank notions about servants.
The fact is, | try 10 treat them just
as Christ taught us to do. That's the
reason folks call me queer. People
that try to do the Christlike thing
in all relations of life have always
been called queer, and always will be-"
When Barbara finally went away
after refusing an urgent invitation to
remain to tea, she had made an ar
rangement with Mrs. Vane TO meet
with hsr and Mrs. Ward and friend
of both, to talk over some practical
plan for getting the servants and the
housekeepers together for n mutual
conference.
'lf anything is done" Mrs. Vane in
sisted, sit must be done with both
parties talking it over in a spirit of
Christian love. 1t never can be solved
in any other way"
The date fixed for the conference
was two weeks from that afternoon,
and Barbara went back to her work
quite enthusiastic over the future and
very much in love with the woman who
was known to most of the members of
Marble Square church as that eccen-
trio Mrs. Vane."
The two weeks had gone by quickly,
and Thursday noon at dinner in the
Ward house Barbara was surprised to
find, when she came in to serve the
first course, that Alfred Ward had un-
expectedly arrived. He had spent two
months of his summer vacation with
college classmates on the lakes, and
had returned sooner than his mother
had expected, to stay until the term
opened again.
Arthur. this is Miss Clark, about
whom | have written you," Mrs. Ward
said, little awkwardly.
The young man looked at her with
interest, and bowed politely. Barbara
returned his bow simply, and did not
speak. She felt little annoyed as
the meal proceeded and she was called

came back; and this time he looked
longer at the two girls, and finally
beckoned to the one behind the
counter. She turned very red, and
came over to where he stood. He
whispered something to her that
made her turn pale and Instantly she
went back and completed the sale of
some little articles that Hilda had
bought giving the floor-wall1er, as
she did so, several hateful looks.
Hilda and the young ran contin-
ued to talk together willie waiting
for the change. When it ca-1e, he
seemed to hesitate and fnalI~ looked
over at Barbara. Hilda sa some
thing, and he answered and walked
slowly out of the store.
Barbara came over, and Hilda
picked up her purchases.
"Are you rendy?"
"Yes," Hilda said shortly, and after
a word from the pirl behind the coun-
ter they went out.
They walked along for some dis
tance and then Barbara ventured to
say; "Why didn't you introduce me
to your young gentleman friend?"
Hilda colored deeply as she an
swerod slowly: 81 didn't suppose you
would care TO know him."
"Why note"
well, you're not really one of u.s."
said Hilda, looking sideways at Bar
bara.
Barbara could not help smiling.
"How not one of you?"
MRS. Vane told me you're not
really working out"
What am l doing?"
II don't know" replied Hilda, hope
lessly, and then was silent. Bar
bara made her decision rapidly.
But I'm working out just as much

shortly.

could not help remarking.
They went into several of the
smaller stores, where both of them
purchased one or two small articles,
and finally entered the great store
of Bondmans.
Hilda knew one of the girls in this
store, and as they stood by the
counter she introduced barbara. The
girl behind the counter stared hard
at Barbara, but returned her greet
ing civilly enough, and then began
to giggle and whisper with Hilda.
Hilda seemed nervous, and repeated
ly looked at Barbara as if she were
in the way; and Barbara, thinking
the others might have some secrets,
walked over to the opposite counter
She had been there only a minute
when a young man sauntered up to
Hilda and the friend behind the coun-
ter, and all three began to talk to-
gether. He was not bad-looking
fellow, but Barbara quickly put him
down as of that class of weak-headed
youths who might be seen almost
any Sunday evening walking down the
main street of Crawford in company
with one or more factory girls.
This time Barbara did not attempt
TO avoid watching Hilda. A floor
walker in the store, going by at the
same time, glanced sharply at the
young man: but he was apparently
buying something. The foorwalker

Kites are destined to play a part in
sport. They have been a great sue
cess as means to stop cartridges ris-
ing and flying from cover where it
is wished to keep them for shooting
the birds will not rise when kites are
above their heads, fearing, doubtless,
attack And now the kite has been
used for fishing. The credit of dis
covering the possibilities of air line
fishing is due to Edward Horseman,
the great kite expert and manufac-
turer. The advantage of fishing from
a kite is that the fisherman may stand
on the shore whilst his bait is dropped
far out at sea- also that timid fish
are not scared by seeing fishing rods
or boats when the airline is used.
For kite fishing, strong kites are
flown, the string carrying a small pull
ley, through which the fish line runs.
one end of the fish line is held by the
fisherman on shore, the other. which
is weighted, drops from the pulley
as the ascent is made, and dips into
the sea. At the moment when a fish
snaps at the bait and is hooked the
fisherman feels the pull on his line,
the kite is quickly hauled in, and the
fish is dragged in at the same time.
Mr.. Horsman has caught many fine
sea fish in this way.

Cuban Action on PIatt Amendment
Not Substantial Compliance.
DISAPPOINTMENT IN CUBA.

Washington, June 3.-The president
and the abinet decided that the action
of the Cuban constitutional convention
was not a substantial compliance
with the terms of the Platt amendment.
The secretary of war will convey this
fact to the convention.
Havana, June 3.-The decision of the
United States government not to ac-
cept caused great surprise and disap-
pointment to those members of the
convention who voted in favor of the
constitution as adopted. Two leading
conservatives said in substance that
they had reason to suppose that the
constitution would be acceptable to
Washington, and that otherwise they
would not have voted for the majority
report as submitted. They also point
ed out that in order to avoid a possi-
bility of rejection the majority report
had been changed at the last moment,
thus accepting the Plat amendment
as passed by congress.
at is true" said one of the Conser-
natives, "that the interpretations of
the explanations of the Teller resolu-
ton which were offered by Governor
General Wood and Secretary Root,
together with the Washington COM
missions report, were included with
the Platt amendment as an appendix
to the constitution, but when we voted
on the report it was with but one pur-
pose in view, namely, to accept the
Plat amendment.
Both delegates said they doubted
that the convention would now recon-
slider its action, as the fight had been
won only by one vote. General Wood
said: Il never understood that the
explanations of Secretary Root would
be incorporated in the acceptance.
! always considered that the conven-
ton regarded these as explanations
merely. and that they would not form
part of the acceptance"

she added, imploringly, as his strength
seemed to waver. Then, as Fred was
pulled from the water, by eager, help

she leaned her head on the city girls

to handle the reins until they were

1t was nearly a week before the

there about 8 o'clock in the evening,
and found the house all but de-
