The Reason.

AS soon as there comes a suggestion
Of freshness in the air there is an ex-
cuse for the smartly gowned woman to
swathe her throat in some one of the
many pretty and becoming boas she is
so fond of wearing. For some occult
and feminine reason she does not con-
slider her costume complete without
this finishing conceit-a conceit which
goes through slight changes with the
coming of each season, but which, in
the end, is mass of soft and fluffy
chiffon Of lace of color that sets off
to the best advantage woman's fea-
lures.
1t is not so much on account of the
warmth possessed by these airy aces
series that they are SO well liked, nor
from the comfort of having something
high at the back of the neck, though
it is fact that after once wearing a
ruche or boa woman doesn't feel
quite chic if she appears on the street
without one.
The real reason they are so popular
IL you could get woman to explain her
very evident fondness for boas and
other neck creations-is because they
add to the attractiveness Of any facs
be it young or old.

How trembled! But, thank heaven,
the great paw would not go ia the mar
row crevice. and ] held the cover fast
by clinging to the inner part of the
lock with all the strength of despera-
ton All he could do was to stretch
out his tongue and lick my fingers I'M
I'll they bled as if they had been
scratched by saw And then, as he
tasted blood and heard Lolita cry-for
my poor darling was just as frightened
as was-his eagerness increased, and
ne began to utter piercing yells, which
sent icy chills over me.
| wonder why the fright did not kill
me, but the touch of Lolita's little arm
around my neck seemed to keep up my
courage.
Still the worst was yet to come.
When the jaguar found that he could
not reach me from below, he sprang
upon the chest His huge weight
crushed my fingers between the two
parts of the lock. Then / thought all
was over and shrieked SO that my cries
rang through the whole house.
But my cries were presently answer
ed by sound which made my heart
throh with joy--answered by the bark
ing of our bloodhound. The jaguar
heard it, too, for he sprang dawn and
stood for moment listening, then ran
to the door as if to flee.
Again came the sound of the dogs
bark this time nearer y and at the
same time the voices of men calling to
each other Contrary to expectation,
they were already coming back.
Meanwhile the 1aguar seemed to be
bewildered and ran wildly to and fro.
Suddenly loud cry came from one of
the windows, followed by two shots
and fearful howl; then my husbands
voice anxiously called.
"Cachita, where are youy'
| had just strength enough left to
get out Of the chest drag myself to
the door and let my husband in. Then
| swooned away.
They told me afterward that our
bloodhound found the jaguar's trail,
leading straight back to the house, and
they all hurried home at full speed,
fearing harm would come to me.
My husband and Jose came in front
of the rest and shot The jaguar through
the window. but my husband told me
that when he saw the animal in the
house he felt as If stifed.

this injury to make me remember that

ments that l spent in the chest-mo-

speaking of taking in partners"
said a downtown business man, "our
Junior was, you might say, blown in on
us, and l saw him started in our di-
rection, though l had no idea of it at
the time.
"Going down town one summer morn
ing on a Ninth avenue elevated train
saw sitting opposite to me a young
man who caught my fancy, substan-
tial, earnest, straightforward looking
chap, whose looks liked first rate. He
was reading paper, and presently he
tore off from his paper an advertise
ment leaf that he didn't want and
threw it out Of a window or tried to,
for as matter of fact it didn't go out.
A gust of wind with just the right
twist to it came along at just that mo-
ment and blew the paper back, to fall
on q vacant seat next to him.
"And as it fell something in it caught
his eye, and he picked up that part
which he had just been trying to throw
away and began earnestly to read it
and ended up by folding it carefully
and putting it in his pocket.
"About four minutes after I'd got in
here that morning this same young
man walks in and applies for place
that we had been waiting for some
body to fill. Our advertisement for a
man for it was in that paper which l
had seen this young man try to throw
away, and which a gust of wind, by
one chance in million or more, had
blown back upon him and in such a
manner as to fix his attention.
"As a matter of fact l hadn't liked
the young mans act of throwing the
paper out of an elevated car window.
Al paper floating down and around as
that would do might frlghtel horses
and lead to no end of trouble and lots
of damage, but no one man thinks
about everything, and he'd learn better
about this, knew, and SO as matter
of fact / took this young man on the
spot on my first Impressions of him.
He far more than made good and in
due course Of time he came into his
junior partnership, literally and truly
blown into 1t.
