He was born athlete, a lover OF
all outdoor sports, and just at present
golf engrossed most OF his leisure time.
But Alice cared nothing for sports of
any kind, and she was so entirely
wrapped up in her Working Girls Va
cation clubs and College settlements
and all sorts of charitable schemes
that Geoffrey was bored to death in
hearing of them.
Who possibly could have foreseen
that such a pretty and attractive girl
as Alice would all OF a sudden have
taken such serious turn?
Godfrey had thought very often
about all this lately, and sometimes
had wondered if it would not be bet

mind when he had arrived the after
noon before, and it had been a relief
as we'll as surprise 10 him when Alice
had frankly broached the subject.
They talked it all over together then,
reasonably discussing their varying
tastes, their chances for future un-
happiness, and in conclusion had
calmly agreed that i: would be better
infinitely better-to put an end TO
the engagement now. with no feeling
but one of perfect friendliness ard

"But we must remember" Alice had
added with sudden anxious pucker-

is final. Our engagement has been off
and on so many times that even the
possibility OF another change would

carefully considered everything now,
and have arrived at this dccision-for
the last time" And Godfrey had Civ

The only thing he had felt really
uncomfortable about was that Alice
had insisted upon giving back her
ring. He wanted her to keep it 'for
friendships sake" but she had posi-
lively refused.

"And you, too, will soon make an

But Alice had smilingly replied
"That is possible, though hardly prob

Tended-1arEs and Collectors.
The old town Of Goes is the centre
Of the oyster industry in Holland, and
is as quaint and primitive place as
can be found in the Lowlands. Stu
ated on the Island of South Beolland,
in the Province Of Zealand, Goes is en-
tirely off the beaten route Of tourists.
The whole population, with few eX-
ceptions-men, womei and children
are engaged in fishing, and more par
ticularly in the oyster industry. En-
tire families are engaged in the cuiti-
walton Of oysters during the whole
year, for the oyster beds demand un-
.ceasins work. The oyster women are
queer sight when attired in their
costure-especially c1apted for the
purpose-tight fitting red flannel knick-
erbockers, black stockings, shirt
with sleeves rolled UP to the elbow,
and quaint sunbonnet which thor
oughly protects the head and neck.

engaged all the year round in the oys-

FIRST MONT PELEE DRAMA.
Play with the Martinique Volcano
In 1t Produced In Paris
In 1910.

1t is scarcely TO be expected that the
dramatists ever seeking some new field
for the scene Of their efforts will long
allow the volcanic explosions at st.
Pierre to escape them. But even the
earliest to utilize any scenes Of the re-
cent eruptions will not be a pioneer
in drawing inspiration from Mont
Pelee, says the New York Sun.
1t has been recalled by a Frenchman
with long memory that Adolphe
d'Ennery, author Of "The Two Or
phans," "a Celebrated Case" and
about a hundred other melodramas,
succeeded in getting before the public
first with a play based on the volcano
at Martinique. 1t was called THE
Earthquake at Martinique" and was
acted in 1910 at the Theatre de la
Gazette in Paris.
The old play in spite Of its horrors
Is said to have been very effective on
the stage In It the villain who muir
dered an old man led his wife and
daughter into a crater Of the volcano
100 feet under the surface Of the earth.
There was sudden earthquake and
the villain fell into a cavity and was
killed, while the woman and her child
were rescued.

BURIED AMERICAN HISTORY.
Old VILLA IN SD urg In Virginia That
Was Intended a. n Chartered
City Under Royalty.

Even in a country SO recently con-
scious of the past as our own, there
are buried cities awaiting the pickaX
of the historian. OF these, none Is
perhaps more interesting, certainly
none more picturesque, more colon
ial and-even to-day-more English
than old Williamsburg, in Virginia
that middle plantation" which in
1882 was Laid out and pa'ed," to be"
come chartered city, the capital of
great colony under king and
crown.
It's three streets of the reign OF
William and Mary are its only thor
oughfares and two back" streets,
hardly more than grass-grown lanes
Of to-day. Duke of Gloucester street,
broad and genially hospitable,
stretches leisurely from the founda-
tions of the ancient capitol building
on the east (of whose walls not one
brick is left nor one white pillar OF
its porticos) to the iron tnrnstile
gates Of William and Mary college
grounds at the western extremity of
the town.
On the right, as one enters the
college gate, is charming mansion,
the residence If the president of
William and Mary, and upon the left,
across the campus. stands the old
Brafferton building, the earliest
school for the education of Indians
erected on American soil. In the
time of Gov Spotswood, says Coun-
try Life in America, it was necessary
to resort to strenuous efforts to in
sure attendance, for the students
were mainly hostages, the sons of
chiefs of neutral or friendly tribes
during Indian warfare.

ELK TEETH AS INVESTMENT.
One OF the Chief Assets of Mon
tnna Man who Has big
Fortune.

ELK teeth by the bushel are one Of
the chief assets which John Losekamp,
of Billings, Mont, enumerates among
his big fortune" said +. NJ. Hoskins, a
Butte man, reports the Denver Post.
"Losekamp keeps general store at
Billings and for many years it was His
custom to trade supplies OF one kind or
another for elk teeth, which, by the
way we're used for charms and amulets
long before the Eiks took them up as
the emblcms Of their order.
"The action Of the Colorado lodges
in agreeing to wear no more elk teeth
because the demand for the teeth
caused "A wholesale slaughter of elk,
had a marked effect in reducing the
price. Other lodges respected the mo-
tive, and quite a boycott on elk teeth
was on for year or more. 1t seems,
however, they are in demand again.
"Losekamp has been selling his at
two dollars apiece for ordinary teeth
and getting fancy prices for the very
best. His stock is sufficient to supply
the demand for years, but he makes
no effort to sell them, as he wants to
leave them as part of his estate, be-
lieving they will increase in value fast
er than any other kind Of property"
