more like the barrels of six-chamber'

the beholder is surprised to find that
the human ear can bear the weight OF
so much metal. In keeping with these
are brooches as large as soap dishes,
lockets as large as snuff boxes, arm

pure black as we'll as those OF mixed
blood, walk with a lightness OF step
and a graceful freedom of motion that
are yery pleasant to see. This applies
only to the women who go shoeless,
for when a negress wears even tne
best fitting pair of shoes, she mlnces

awkward.
The language of the people OF the
island is French. The negro creoies
speak a jargon hard to understand
while the whites speak French with
an accent that very closely resembles
the speech of the creoles Of LOUISIANA

thing born in the West Indies and the
creoles of the West Indies consider
the name most honorable and worth!

The labor required in making the
manuscript books of ancient days was
far beyond the understanding of the
men of the present day, who possess
all the modern adjuucts to that art AS
these books We're intended to last for
many years, answering the same pur-
pose as our printed tones, the great
desideratun in their preparation was
durability. AS n natural consequence
these who made them not only selected
the best quality of parchment or other
ma terinl to write upon, but also paid
particular attention to the quality OF
the ink used In such work.
That they were successful in making
the latter is evidenced by the fact that
in the majority of instances the char
acters Inscribed on the most ancient
manuscript rolls now preserved in the
British museum and elsewhere are
very legible, the ink being bright and
black and showing but little evidence
of its great age. 1t is supposed that the
superior quality of lampblack, prepar-
ed in manner now unknown, was the
true cause of this beautiful and lasting
color of the ink in question.

The boys were singing snatches Of
football songs as they sat on the porch
10 talk over the game. Nancy smiled
as she listened and wondered how the
practice had come out.
Now, from the time she had worn
long dresses Nancy had gone to all the
big games as n matter of course, but
it was only since Tom Garrett had
made the team that she had shown
any interest In practice games. Bay
ltss had not yet arrived at the dignity
Of Il training house, so Tom still had
his old room and kept the table in a
roar at mealtImes.
The boys were tramping up the
stairs now, and the song had changed:
IF you don't make love to the landlady's daugh-
ter.
You won't get a second piece Of pie
Then Jim Woodward's voice:
How about that, Tom?'
And Toms voice in laughing reply:

with excitement, and the cold air gave
II brilliant color to her usually pale

1t gave her no pleasure.
Don't let's talk so much" she said
eagerly. I'VE must pay strict atten.
ton to the game since 1t is the end OF
the season."
The cheering and singing commenc.
ed as the two teams trotted out on the
| field. Oh. there was that hateful song
again. Nancy tried not to watch q
certain figure, but it seemed impos-
sible for her eyes to forget their old
trick Of hunting it out after every
Scrimmage.
1t was an exciting game. for the two
teams were evenly matched. Nancy
found herself hanging breathlessly on
every play.
The first half over and even scores!
Could it be possible that Bayliss would
be whipped on its own field? How
long the intermission seemed There
they come againi
Shout, Bayliss, shout! Cheer as you
never did before! The team must not
know that you have even a doubt of
its failure.
The line Of players zigZagged up and
down, following that bit of quick
silver, the ball. Now there was a
splendid run, now kick. The scores
mounted slowly. But what was that?
Some one WAS running with the ball.
One intercepting player was thrown,
another dashed aside, and still the fig
IRE sped on. Nearer, nearer the goal
posts. Three opponents We're almost

went up. The touchdown had been
made!
The little heap slowly disentangled
itself. but the undermost man did not
move. \ doctor ran forward. Nancy
turned faint. 1t was Tonl-she knew
it WAS Tom--and he had been killed!
The cheering sounded far away. She
gave little gasp. and Du Peyster was
alarmed at sight of her face.
You're sick, Hiss Elliott" he asked
anXiuuSly.
NO, nor' She did not take her eyes
from the group on the field. "Only-

you think he is killed:" she asked pite-

So Nancy sat out the rest of the
game, and when they were shouting
the college victory she had won a vic
tory over self.
Tom could not go to the jubilation
banquet on account of his sprain, but
he didn't seem to mind it very much,
for Nancy brought well filed tray to
his lounge and sat beside him while he
ate. And it was the old Nancy, smil-

Little Boy Black.

Little Boy Black.
Little Boy Black sat half the day
On the steps of the old red house.
Watching the little white boys at play,
Like a poor little frightened mouse.
He wondered why they passed him by,
With never kind look back.
And why they'd play all summer day,
But never with Little Boy Black.
Little Boy Black was five years old;
His father and mother We're dead;
His granny fought off hunger and cold
And gave him his milk and bread.
The boys would scan her little man
As the old fence he peeped through
And run away as they'd hear him say,
Il wish l was Little Boy Blue
Little Boy Blacks small hands are crossed
On his little white shrouded breast
And nevermore will his heart be tossed
ON the waves of his deep unrest.
His sohs and signs. his sad wet eyes
Are silent and calm tonight;
His soul has flown to fairer zone,
Where Little Boy Black is white.
