by the pipe, which had not left his lips,
except for a moment when the colonel
passed.
But fully 60 seconds before any other
man saw anything, Tim had seen every
thing. It was then that the pipe came
out of his mouth. 1t covered the side
walk with splinters.
"God Almighty" groaned Tim. ''The
coloners baby!"
The long, lean arms of the gates had
dropped, and stretched themselves
nightly across the street. A grown
person could not pass their strong
barricade unless by deliberately stoop-
ing under, and so evading it; but to
the baby girl there was no barricade
at all. The arms of the gate escaped
the topmost rosebud on her rose white,
rose-pink hat by several inches. And
the child-something. scornful of the
nurse, something disdainful of the
grocer's boy-had continued her walk
in a pretty, solitary dignity which
comes at times on little maids like her.
When Tins pipe came out Of his

And the train
Afterward, the gate tender swore
that the train was 40 feet away. But
what are 40 feet? And the baby girl,
suddenly seeing the>monster, bewild-
cred by the roar and smoke and steam,
confused by the horror that she could
not understand, put up her lips and
began to cry, and stood still upon the
track.
It was then that man leaped the
gate and dashed into the throat of
death with cry whose joyousness
rings to this day in the ears of every
soul who heard it. AS he hurled him
self upon the child, his old. faded felt
hat fell off, and the May sunlight
brought out the gold in the brown of
his curly hair.
He flung the baby girl high into the
air. A dozen arms were outstretched

LIBRARY COZY CORNER.
The Suggestion Here Given VIII
Work Out Well Under a Bright
WOman's Direction.

This sketch, if we'll worked out,
will make very suitable addition to
any library; or, if one does not soar
so high as that, it forms in any room
quite library in itself. The usual
methods of building a coy corner are
followed, but care should be taken
that it is constructed strongly, to
stand the weight of books. Above
the seat as many shelves may be
fixed as desired, although we show
only three in our design. To give
more room for the storage of books
two small open cupboards fitted with
shelves can be built outside each of
the two arms. The woodwork will
look best if stained and polished, but

century, part of the time in Paris, but
most of it in London. In both capitals
the generous allowance made by her
husband has enabled her to give So
cial entertainments in manner that
could not be approached by hostesses
of moderate wealth. No matter how
clever and witty man is he enjoys
good dinner faultlessly served. Mrs.
Mackay gives them.
That is why the brightest and clev-
crest persons in London are always to
be found at her house. With the CO.
operation of shrewd campaigners like
Mrs. Ronalds, Mrs. Adair, the young
duchess of Marlborough, Lady Curzon,
of Keddleton; Lady Arthur Butler
and Mrs. George CORVALLIS West (for-
merly Lady Randolph ChurchilD it
would be strange if it were otherwise.
If that means revival of the salon
Mrs. Mackay is accomplishing it, but
she would be the last person in the
world to put any such construction
Apon her social success.
In the first place, Mrs. Mackay's

just off Pall-Mall, is one of the most
beautiful homes in London. It is large
enough to entertain great number of
guests without what is in social par
lance, called a ''crush." She never does
anything on a small scale. The home
was purchased from Mr.. Sanford, who
lost his money in the Barring crash
about ten years ago. Among other
things it has a beautiful marble STAIR
case that is said to have cost $500, 900.
The ceiling above this is inlaid with
mother of pearls. The drawing-room
contains treasures collected by Mrs.
Mackay in all parts of Europe. The
ballroom is one of the finest in Eng
land. 1t is no wonder that persons in
the social swim, as we'll as those who
want to get into it and can't, are eager
for invitations to Mrs. Mackay' recep-
tions.
When Mrs. Mackay, who had just re-
moved from Paris to London, said she
wanted this house her husband
bought it for her. When some persons
talked about his residence being in
America and his spending so much
time away from his wife, Mr. Mackay
published in all the journals and>di-
rectories that are supposed to give Of
fetal information on such matters,
that his residence was at No. Carlton
House terrace, and in San, Francisco
and that his place of business was in
New York.
Mrs. Mackay is no longer young
woman, and she does not attempt to
dress like one. With all her wealth
she has met with more sorrows than
most women-a daughter married to
cruel man of title from whom she
sought for years to legally free her.
self, and a favorite son killed by fall
from his horse. She is woman
known for her charities, as we'll as her
eccentricities. But more talk was
made\abut her contemptuous treat

which did not please her, than of her
paying off the heavy debt of church
in Paris just because one of the priests
was kind to her son at the time of his
fatal fall.-London Letter in Philadel-
phia Press.

nobody else could sing-and the vet.

Then the beating, breaking heart of
the military music throbbed in and
claimed its own.
Nobody's Tim was buried as if he
had been the general. ,Blotted out in
flowers, he seemed to have no grave.
The chaplain read the service as if the
Christian faith wished she could have
owned the hero. The flag folded him
as if it were proud of him. But the
colonel, with barred head, stood little
apart. Lifting his eyes, as
if he perceived what no 9TH
err did, the commanding Off
Ger of the old regiment saluted the
unseen spirit of the dead private, as a
soldier salutes his superior. Then the
drum of the veterans sounded taps for
Tim, and three volleys rang across
his grave.
Now, after taps, an unexpected thing
occurred. Some one led up the little
girl, all in white, and her arms were
heaped with pink roses. These she put

it was her own idea. No one spoke or
stirred while she did this, and after
ward no one added a>fower.
Then the child (this, too, was her
own idea) quite naturally knelt down
upon the flowers and shut her eyes and
said aloud and distinctly, so that all
the people heard her: =.
Nov lay me down to sleep.

"Well," said one of the Grand Army
men, with the back Of, his hand at his
eyes, II guess she's with it,
But the colonel, her father, caught
her to his heart and hid his face upon
her soft hair. He did not speak. The
veterans saluted and turned away

how he had himself performed this
pitiful service for So many other poor
bodies on the railroad which waited
for the commissioners to vote about
grade crossings-and some body picked
up the old brown felt hat, and some
body else asked:
"What shall we do with him?" For
Nobody's Tim, you remember, had
neither wife nor child, neither "own
folks" nor home.
Then, out of the silent crowd which
had thickened in the square, sudden
voices rose:

"That's the colonel. He's got some

Memorial day dawned clear, hot and
shining, as it almost always is. No
one in Sunshine went to the baseball
games or cared for the bicycle races
on the sacred national festival of that
year; but all Sunshine followed the
pathetic remnant of the Grand Army
when the gray-haired group formed
to escort their homeless, dead comrade
from the colonel's home.
No one remembered on thai morning
that Tim used to drink; that he did
not work; that he had neither. place
nor name, nor character among his
neighbors. Everyone remembered
rather how kind he was, and how gen.
erous of impulse, what good company
he was, and what pleasant smile he
had-this hero who had lived among
them in disguise, unregarded and neg
lected for so long.
AS they bore him down the colonel's
granite steps and out into the street,
the Grand Army veterans sang in their
broken voices:

and laid his dark cheek to hers, and
kissed her more softly than her mother
did, and not SO many times but each
kiss seemed to count for more, for
some reason.

was a particular friend and neighbor
of Roses, who offered to escort her

him it was against her orders; so he

Virtues of Salad OIL.

Salad oil forms a most useful article
of diet for delicate people. /The in
valid who cannot touch cod liver oil
should be encouraged to use freely
mayonnaise dressing, and in eating
salad to pour over it liberal supply
of oil. In eases where the taste for
this is not, It can generally soon be
acquired. For some cases of debility
and weak digestion small doses of oil
will do wonders. Many people have
been able to give up the almost daily
use of drugs by taking instead des-
sertspoonful of salad oil on going to
bed. If the taste be dislinked it can
be taken with a little claret, which will
quite disguise it. In the nursery salad
oil should be used for rubbing into
the chest-back and front - when
there is any tendency to weakness of
the lungs. The pores of the skin will
absorb it readily, and it will be found
to have nourishing and strengthen

Here meath this wilderness of bloom;
