led us by K. AS we drew up at the
station we noticed on the platform par
son, in whom we recognized one of the
clergy of Y. whose church we had
been to. Presently the door of our COM
partment was opened and he put in
lady, wished her goodby, the guards
whistle blew and we were off, After a
short time we fell into conversation with
the lady and found her to be the clergy
mans wife. Among other things, we
asked after Miss G..
"Oh, Miss g." she replied "She is
very well, but hear, poor thing, she has
not had very good season."
Il am sorry to hear that" / replied.
'fWhy is it?" She was silent for min
ute, and then related to us the following
facts:
At the beginning of the season a rather
untoward event occurred at Miss G.'s
lodgings. An elderly lady took one of the
fats for a month. She had with her an
attendant of about thirty. Before long
Miss G. observed that they were not
on very good terms, and one morning the
old lady was found dead in her bed
doctor was at once called in, who,
on viewing the body, found there were
very suspicious marks round the neck
and throat, as if persons fingers had
been tightly pressed upon them. The
maid on hearing this at once became very
restless, and going to her bedroom, which
was at the top of the house, packed a
small bag and, having put on her things,
was about to descend the stairs when,
from hurry or agitation, she missed her
footing and, falling to the bottom, broke
her neck
But not the least extraordinary part Of
the business was that not the slightest
clew could be obtained as to who the
lady was, the linen of herself and her
maid having only initials marked on it.
The police did their best by advertising
and inquiry, but all they could find out
was that they had come straight to X
from Liverpool, where they had arrived
from America. There they were traced
to the Fifth Avenue hotel In New York,
where they had been only known by the
number of their room, and to which they
had come from no one knew whittier.
Enough money was found in the lady's
box to pay the expenses Of their fu-
nerals. An open verdict was returned at
the inquests which were held. The po-
lice took possession of their belongings
and have them, no doubt, at the present
moment.
At this point the train stopped, the lady
wished us good morning and left the
carriage, and we, as we steamed south,
were left to mediate on this strange but
perfectly true story and to solve as we
best could the still unanswered question
of "Who was the third maid?"

Up His sleeve.

At the battle of Omdurman soldier
belonging to Scotch regiment was
nearly killed by bullet which struck
the ground just in front of him while
he was firing in reclining position.
On rising to move few feet forward,
something came down his sleeve. 1t
was the bullet. How 1t got up his
sleeve without inficting damage can
only be accounted for by the fact that
it must have been spent by the time 1t
struck the ground in front of him and
the course of its flight up his sleeve
was its last billet.

RECOGNITION.

How gentle Is the soul that looketh out
From violets sweet through dim, blue, fearful
eyes,
That turns pleading face to look about
And watch the SUMS course through the smiling
skiesi
What depths Of tenderness in that warm heart
That tells its fond love in the violets breath,
That winning faith with no device of art,
Declares passion far outlasting DEATH
o Mother Nature, kind to every child
Blessed with the gift Of speech, the gift Of
grace,
Teach thou the modest violet, shy and wild,
To look with trustfulness into my face
And give my simple thought the skill to know
What interchanging hints between us pass
What sense of joy it is that thrills me so
Whenever see blue violets in the grass.

Upon the highest hillside, where the
Lifts nature to himself l raise my shrine

In whose clear eyes, undimmed by doubt or tear,
No secret shadow of the soul is good.
Others may dread thy burning judgment white;
For them be twilight affairs in the wood;
To thee, High Noon,
Bare breasted as a pagan l would come!
Test thou my heart, that, proven, may dare
Exult to shrive in thy riteless peace
And Sacramental faith eternal swear
To thee, High Noonl

"How much does it take to change a
quarterT asked the bartender. ''Twen-
ty-tive cents, eh? Not on your life. It
takes seventy cents to do the trick.
How many ways do you suppose a
quarter dollar can be changed? Just
exactly eleven. A fellow Of limited
means may like the Jingle of coin in
his clothes. In that event you can give
him twenty-five pennies or twenty pen
MES and one nickel. He may like to
have little sprinkling of silver in his
clothes, and you can accommodate him
with fifteen pennies and dime or ten
pennies, a dime and a nickel.
"If he prefers to have change handy
for beer and a car fare, why, fifteen
pennies and two nickels will fix him
up, and if he wants cigar in addition,
besides having a little stock of cash
in his jeans, give him ten pennies and
three nickels. That makes six ways.
Now, then, fellow with quarter can
trade it off for five pennies and two
dimes, five pennies and four nickels,
two dimes and one nickel, one dime
and three nickels or five nickels, just
as he prefers. And to accommodate
him In any way that he might select
you have to possess twenty-five pen
MES, two dimes and five nickels-Sev-
enty cents in ll''-Philadelphia Rec

These few lines which she has written

me into that outer darkness whence there

confession. l pressed it to my heart, my

Curious Vienna Law,

They have curious laws in Vienna

Fricdl and Felix Kopstein. aged Is and
10 years respectively. We're walking
along street in the Austrian capital
when they came across an old woman
staggering along under the weight of n
heavy package. Moved by pity. they
offered to carry 1t for the old woman. a
proposition to which she readily ac-
coded. The kind hearted children had
not gone far before they were arrested
by policeman for carrying parcels
without a license. The children were
taken to police station. where the Of
ficcr in charge lectured them upon the
enormity Of their otfensc. They were
kept under arrest for six hours and
then released with warning.

made. more especially with emotional
people. it will be found that one Of the

and often opens the tear valve before
its companion has decided upon the UNI
