THE BLOT ON HIS PAST.

"Is there anything in your past" the
beautiful girl asked, "that you have
kept from meP Oh, Arthur, think before
1t is too late. Surely you cannot wish
to make us both unhappy, as we should
be if were to learn after we are mar
ried that you had not told me all-that
there was something you had kept back.
Arthur she exclaimed, drawing away
from him, "there is-there is something
you have kept from me! You are pale
and you dare not look me in the eyes"
The young man stood looking at the
floor and nervously clasping and UNI
clasping his hands. At last he hoarsely
replied:
Eyes, Adelaide, it is true. have not
told you all. All, forgive me! 1t was
not my fault! Before heaven swear it !!
/ had hoped that you might never need
to know. Do not ask me to explain. 1t
is too terrible. You will learn to love
some other. can go away somewhere
and drag out my days in shame and sor-
row."
Then, woman-like, she put her arms
around his neck, looked up into his
strong, manly face and said in low,
sweet tones:
arthur, let me help to bear your
burden. Have l not promised to share
all your joys and sorrows9 Do not keep
this from me. Donot leave me in doubt.
Perhaps l can forgive you, and thus
save both our lives from being wrecked"
With an effort he pulled himself to-
gether and replied:
"My mother used to dress me as Lit.
tie Lord Fauntleroy,' and once she had
my picture taken in that costume"-

The Military Salute.

All salutcs, from taking of the hat
to presenting arms, originally Implied
respect or submission. or military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand to the
head is generally believed TO have orig

ment when the knights filed past the
throne of the queen Of beauty and. by
way Of compliment, raised their hands
to their brows to Imply TINT her beau
ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes
to gaze upon.
The officers salute with the sword
has a double meaning. The first posi-.
ton, with the hilt opposite the lips,
is q repetition of the crusaders action

In token of faith and fealty, while low
ering the point afterward Implies ell
thcr submission or friendship, meaning
I'm either case that 1t Is no longer nee
essary to stand OH guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been ex'
planned rs a sign that the weapOned
hand Is empty and in IN inoffensive po'
sition, but this reason does not seem
80 convincing as the others.

A Beavers Toilet.

II Is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead of sitting up with his
large, fat, ribbed tail protruding Ne
hind him, he tucked 1t forward between
his hind legs and sat upon 1t. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands ut the same
time. There were many places. how
ever, that could not be reached IN TINS
way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, 80 he combed these
otherwise inaccessible places with bis
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per
formed with the utmost deliberauon
and care and occupied more than o
quarter of an hour, so that by the time
It was completed daylight had almost
vanished.

turb him In the least. though l sat on
