Thackeray's Last Home.

"Down on your knees, you rogue"'
said Thackeray to ]. T. Fields. the ia
nous publisher Of Boston and author
of yesterdays With Authors" Down
on your knees, for here Vanity Fair
was pennedr' "And l will go down
with YOU" added w. NJ. T., 'for in
very truth think very we'll myself Of
that little work."
Thackeray spoke in Kensington, in a
little room at the top Of house in a
quiet street. with a lattice window,
but the street was Young street. not
Kensington palace gardens. us some
people fancy. The best Of Thackeray's
work was done in Young street. There
he bought from his profits an old house
in Palace green, pulled it down and
built from his own design the quaint
mansion of red brick with stone fac
ings which Bret Harte introduced with
a tact so moving into his parody sketch
of Dickens 1.-The Haunted Man"
Thackeray lived there but from 1861
to Christmas eve, 1868, when he died
in his sleep, they say. The last works
were written there, THE Roundabout
Papers" and others.-London Outlook

q good fellow and had been such help
to him in Paris he felt that he must
comply with 1t. After all, 1t was only
the government that would suffer, and
that WIS well able to put up with a
slight less.
SO Thorwald found himself speeding
toward the realm Of the great white
car, with the intention Of defrauding
it. In one of the last stages of the
journey his sole companion in the rail-
road carriage was woman, quietly
dressed, with an air of high breeding.
He WAS worrying as they approached
the frontier and would have been glad
of a companion to talk to. At last OPP
portunity was afforded him of accost-
ing the lady. She was trying to ar
range something in the network brack-
ct for parcels. He approached and
with great p0liteness offered his serv-
ices. AS he again turned his eyes to

There is a Washington legend con-
nected with Tonne mountain which is
always told to those who visit the
Ramapo country. The mountain is the
highest in the range. and on a clear
day, 1t is said, one can see Sandy
Hook from the summit. Half way up
the mountain there Is a deep cleft in
the rocks, at the bottom of which is a
spring. From some hidden point water
falls into the spring with a steady
dropping not unlike the ticking of a
watch.

the ordeal was at hand. ThOrwald

Life Stories In Faces.

Character indeed is written plainly
enough on the faces one meets in daily
life. Some speak of tragedy, some of
comedy. and not few give you dis
tinct warning.
Even ride In street car or a short
railway journey gives proof of this
fact. Look around you. Those two
strangers opposite you never saw be-
fore, yet you know that one is passion
ate, the other mean, and your heart
warns to the little old lady near by.
You want no one to assure you she is
kind and gentle, while whole net

you that the old gentleman in the cor

Strange how quick we are to read our
neighbours face and how slow to re-

and we are writing it every day of our
lives. Not only do smiles and frowns
leave traces, but every passion which

Once upon a time young gentleman
and a younger lady were alone in a
bright parlor in front of cheerful
open fire, with table between them,
playing cards. AS they continued to
play and chat the table was not so
much between them, for they both got
nearer the fire and played the game on
one corner of the table.
They had started in to play euchre,
but after an hour and a half they
found that they were playing hearts.
Moral-We are not always sure what
the game is.
