In that moment, with a flash of reve-
lation, he realized the narrowness of
woman's point of view when she is shut
away from any vital contact with the
world He had a mad desire to tell Lc-
titia Wyatt a few brutal facts. She had
gone placidly through life with eyes
closed to its real significance, her stag
nant existence had failed to develop her
best powers. Had she married him and
led the active life of the wife of q min
lister, having every gift She possessed
brought in play, as had been the case
with Sophy she would have been
more sympathetic woman now. And yet
he could not imagine her engaging in
all the homely drudgery that had fallen
TO Sophy's lot and neither could he fancy
her comforting the sick and fallen, get
ting close to the hearts Of the humblest
and most sinful men and women.
I4etitia glanced surreptitiously at the
clock. 1t was quarter of ten She had

Nevertheless it was relief to get out
into the broader atmosphere of a mans

The picture of Letitia Wyatt that the
Rev. Francis Hollis carried 10 his heart
for SO many years was rot to be altered
by single detail on account OF the re-
marks of disappointed old man. Mr..
Hollis felt sure that Letitia lad used
no undue influence with Lucy. When
he went to stay with his sister, Mrs ST.
monds, in the village, he questioned her.
Clara was very fond of Letitia.

"WiH you have another quail?'' Miss
Deborah asked him, when discussion
on anti-imperialism had begun to
languish.
Something in Letitia's expression
warned him that Deborah's question had
been ndiscreet, and that he ought to
reply in the negative, but he found him
self saying: II will. l feel very apollo
getic, bringing my mans appetite in

it, but l couldn't ask for cold beef for

Letita's face told him plainly that he
would write himself out of her good
books if he helped himself to cold beef,
nevertheless he went boldly over to De-
borah's side. He remembered one or
two occasions in their childhood when
he and Deborah had been partners in
scrapes long before he had fallen in love
with Letitia Letitia, he remembered,
had been rather an aggravating little
girl. Frank and Deborah joked mer-
rily and talked of their childhood as
they ate the cold beef. He was sure

borahs BRAIN Letitia had grown silent

We Grow Old an Pieces.

The general impression is that the
body grows old uniformly. From birth
till the age Of twenty-five 1t grows In
size and weight, from twenty-five to
afty 1t remains stationary, and from
that period 1t decays. Observations Of
expert Psychologists show us that this
Impression Is not correct one.
Each organ begins to age independ-
emily, each has It's period for the
change, and these periods differ with
the various organs and do not take
place coincidently. as we may have
supposed. The body attalns Its great
est size during the third decade and
remains in about the same condition
during the fourth and fifth decades,
that Is true, but the brain re&cbes It's
greatest size in the second decade, the
kidneys reach their maximum size dur
ing the third decade, the muscles, skel-
tton and intestines during the fifth, the
heart and lungs In the eighth decade.
Increase or decrease In the size or
weight of the body consequently Is
not due to simultaneous increase or de-
crease in all its parts.

The shark Is "A Slow Swimmer.

One i'll service nature has done the
shark-namely. that Of placing trian-
gular fin on his back which acts as a
danger signal and gives warning Of his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacuy to
be aware of this peculiarity, for had he
been SO he would unquestionably aban-
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface Of the water and would In that
case be enabled to approach his victim
unobscrved. The shark is a slow swim
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, AS darts the dol
phin from the shark" But Byron was
poet and docs not appear to have
been close observer of the habits Of
inhabitants of the water, or he would

ruehlos ana the Compass.

Among the Pueblo Indians six points
Of the compass are recognized, and
each has its color. North is yellow,
west Is blue. south Is red. east is
white. the upper regions are many col
ored and the lower regions are black.
All the prey gods are represented by
their images In these six divisions.
For example. there liz the yellow
mountain lion of the north. the blue
mountain lion OF the west. the red
mountain of the south. and so on.
Likewise 1t is with the other beasts.
and thus very considerable number
of deities is formed. All OF them must
receive worshipful attention lest they
get angry and revenge themselves for
the neglect.

Valley Forge,

MY impression had been that Valley
Forge was wild glen high among the
mountains. where winter frosts and
SHOWS held unrelaxing sway for many
long, dark months every year. But
really its situation Is neither lofty nor
remote, and the rigors of the cold are
not nearly what they would be In our
more northerly states. Comparatively
little snow falls, and often there is not
a weeks sleighing the winter through.
The valley is only twenty-three miles
from Philadelphia. with which 1t has
direct communication by a railroad

TRAINING A RIDING HORSE
The Master Made Coed His Asser-
tIon as to what He Could DO.

The Master Made Coed His Asser-
tIon as to what He Could DO.
Yes" said the riding master, "I
have 10 be horse trainer as wei as a
riding master. In fact. couldn't very
well be the second without being the
first. ! always have horses in my
school stables here that are sent to me
to train for my pupils. One came this
morning. and il you have the time to
spare will show you how give the
first lesson in obedience"
The master then ordered one OF his
men to bring the horse out into the
SCHOOL" great oblong space. cov-
cred with sawdust and inclosed and
rooted. The horse was fine, spirited
animal. with an Intelligent and kindly
eye. and the master said at once that
he would be a tractable and teachable
subject, explaining that he had not
yet had a chance to make his ac-
quaintance."
Now" said he, you must remem-
Der that this horse has never seen me
before and that am. therefore. per
feet stranger to him. and yet ] think I
can establish between him and myself
20 good q feeling that In Ave minutes
time he win follow me all about the
school at word Of command-perhRbs
without command. Let us see."
He then approached the horse. and
the man stepped away. Speaking a
few words gently. he patted the ami
mal's neck and rubbed his hand over
his head. Telling the man to give him
a small riding whip. long and straight,
with a keen lash, he placed himself
with his right shoulder close to the
horses head. holding the bride rein
near the bit with his right hand and in
his left hand the whip extended back
horizontally so that the lash was oppo-
site to the horses flank.
.Now," said he, "for our lesson"
And he began leading the horse around
the school. keeping his shoulder close
to the animals head. Presently he
took his hand or the bride. and the
horse at once began to move away
from his shoulder. but sharp turn OF
the masters wrist brought the lash OF
the whip against his flank Just hard
enough to make little sting. and at
the same time the master caught hold
OF the bride and gently pulled the re-
fractory head close to his shoulder
again.
This was repeated half dozen
times, and then the horse evidently
reasoned out the situation somewhat
I'm this way:
"As long as | keep my head close to
this mans shoulder It's all right, but
the minute take it away something
back there jumps UP and sticks me.
Therefore III not take it away any
more"
That must have. been the way he
reasoned, for within the five minutes
.ime allotted by the riding master the
horse was following him all around the
school like big dog, nor did the mas
ter have to touch the bride once
