the sting of life's bitterest sorrow in
his heart,
At a bend in the road, where a white
cottage stood between two giant pop
lars, n little girl sat upon a fence post
reading from a gorgeously colored
book. And as the man walked past,
he heard the childish treble faltering
over the words:
Jack and Jill went up the hill
To fetch a pail of water.
Jack fell down and broke his crown,
And Jill came tumbling after"
And Jill came tumbling after" the
child repeated; "and Jill came tum-
bling after"
Suddenly the man paused and, turn
ing. looked back-far up the road to
where house nestled at the base of a
hill.
YES" he said to himself, Jack did
fall down. | wonder-l wonder If she
came tumbling after 1--we acted a
fool I'll go back"
He found her leaning over the gate
watching him as he came up the road,
her lashes all glistening with griefs
dew, but her face shining in welcome,
and her eyes glowing softly, tenderly,
warmly, like the stars in an August
night He took her hands in his and
she smiled up into his face.

"The Mormon explorers reference

view printed in a local paper. was of
great interest to me-" said a we'll
known physician Of Galveston, Texas.
81 happened to have some knowledge
of the curious people myself. Just
after I left college l took a trip to
South America for the purpose of
studying fevers, and | had several en-
counters with the San Bias. There
are no more curious people in the
world than these 'presumptive. self
sufficient, stubborn Indians. During
a sojourn OF several months in the
vicinity of their reservation was able
to converse with only one of their
number. He was an old fellow who
had made several trips to New York
on a steamship and who had picked
up little English in his wanderings.
He assured me that the king of the
San Blas-that is the title given to
their ruler-was the greatest monarch
that ever sat upon a throne.
From the general run of his talk
| saw that the San Bias looked upon
the rest of the world with pity and
contempt They have a great horror
of any other race mingling with theirs.
They guard their women closely that
no marriages with aliens be possible
In fact l learned there were few per-
sons in the vicinity that ever saw a
San Bias girl after she was years
old. The king very naively boasts
that although his people absolutely
forbid any trespassing on their lands,
that no one had ever been shot in the
back by his warriors. This would in
dicate a high sense of honor, but 1t is
further explained that when a strang-

Reed Cllnrs to Old District.

Thomas b. Reed, ex-speaker of the
house. lives in New York, but he still
claims to be a constituent of Congress
man Amos Allen, who succeeded Mr..
Reed as the representative of the first
congressional district OF Maine. When
he wants any documents or publica-
tions Mr.. Reed always applies to Mr..
Allen for them. Mr.. Reeds wishes in
this line are often extensive but Mr..
Allen always attends to them person
ally. He secures the books from the
document room, wraps and addresses
them with his own hands and then car
ries them down to the house postotfice
and sees them safely started on their
way to New York. Mr.. Allen for long
time was clerk of Mr.. Reeds committee
on rules and he was nominated for con-
gress largely through the efforts of the
former speaker.

Telegra.,hic Talking.

Telegraph Ia and Takers" by L.
c. Hall, in McClure's, is a revelation OF
some of the mysteries of "telegraphese"
or Morse" the garrulous tongue of dot
and dash that clicks necessarily around
the globe. Its simplicity to spoken
discourse Is really startling. 1t is al
most uncanny to read that to the ini-
tiated an operators Morse is as in
dicative of character as his speech. his
face, or his dress; nay, that from his
Morse" one can often recognize at
first sight man whom one has never,
until this meeting, been within many
hundred miles. BY daily communica-
ton over the wire operators grow to
form as close friendships as ever were
made within four inclosing walls. Emo
tion Is as clearly conveyed by these
little metallic taps as by the most skill
fully modulated voice. The tricks
played on beginners and on awkward
operators by the instrument furnish
very amusing series of stories.

A quantity of jewels and trinkets
which had played important parts in
murders and other crimes were sold at
auction by the police authorities of
Paris the other day. Most Of the ar
ticles brought prices far above their
intrinsic value. their worth being en-
HANGED in the eyes OF the morbid be-
cause of the grewsome associations
connected with them. Those which
were bloodstained were in great de-
mand.

How much would you take for the
boat as it lies?" asked Perkins.
"a thousand dollars, and not cent
less" was the reply.
Perkins closed the bargain on the
Spot, agreeing to pay the money be-
fore sundown. Going to the bank, he
drew out his savings, and instead OF
returning to work spent the afternoon
in visiting every store along the busi-
ness street of which the town boast
ed, borrowing money to make up the
balance. From one business man he
secured $45, but in most instances he
was only able to negotiate small loans,
and even now he remembers that ev-
cry 50-cent piece was welcome addi-
tion to his pile; but he had the salts
faction of obtaining the needed
amount, and was the owner of the
boat before he went to bed.
His new investment was nonpro-
ductive for a long time, as it took
him three months to cut away the
sandbar, as he was obliged to do the
work himself. He never lost heart,
however, and his natural business
acumen is shown by the fact that after
operating the ferry for only few
months he was able to sell out for
S3,000.-Washington Post.

"And you say the spring is on top
Of this hill?" he asked, incredulity in
his voice. why is 1t not in the val
ley, where it belongs, or on the hA-
side? Why is 1t perched on the sum
init in such an unusual and inacccs-
sible placer"
The woman laughed, merrily, watch
ing the sunlight gllstening on the
bright tin pail the man was carrying.

She paused a moment, plucking
bunch of wild grape blossoms from
vine that hung over the path. Then
she waved the bunch of blossoms to-
wards the shimmering sheen of green
and yellow stretched, like a vast ORR
entail rug beneath them.
The path at last. swerved suddenly
20 the right and, circling large bowl
der which poised airily on the very
edge of the declivity, ended at the
brink of a tranquil pool
Amid the tangled grass upon the
bank the woman sank to rest. Her
straw hat dropped from her head as
she reclined upon the mold and the
sunlight dripping through the leaves,
fell asleep amid the copper of her hair.
The man sat down the pail and
leaning against a tree, stood in silence,
watching the glory of her tresses.

of miles, only to find you changed
80 changed"
Am | changed?" she asked, sudden
ly raising her eyes from the cool
shadows of the spring

changed"
Involuntarily, almost unconsciously,
he reached out his hands to her in
gesture OF appeal as though yearning
to clasp her in his arms and draw her
back into the olden sweetness; Into
the gentle, natural simplicity that had
been hers in the days when he first
had loved her.
How am | dlfferent?" she asked,
after moment OF silence.
81 hardly know" he replied, slowly,
"only, only there used to be
warmth in your eyes that has van
ished Hazel. Do you remember when
you used to stand at your fathers
gate and watch me come up the lane
In the long summer evenings. back
there in the Iowa hills? Your face
used to actually shine in welcome and
your eyes-your eyes glowed like the
stars"
The woman laughed.
why" she replied, mot an hour
ago. Walter, you said that my eyes
sparkled like the stars. Surely they
could not have changed much, then"
Yes" the man said, your eyes do
sparkle like the stars, but II is like
the sparkle of the stars in winter, Ha-
Eel-bright, but cold and cheerless.
Then-back there in Iowa-they
glowed, rather than sparkled -
glowed like the stars In an August
night-softly, subduedly, warmly.
There IS vast difference in the glim-
mer OF the stars in summer and in
winter, did you ever notice it? In
summer they are less distinct, but they
seem so kind, so tender, so near. We
feel like we could almost reach out our
hands and touch them. But in winter
they are more brilliant, more like gi-
gantic diamonds. They are beautiful,
but they are not-not-sympathet

mained silent, nervously biting the
end of his small, black mustache, and
gazing, perplexedly, at the others
averted face When he again spoke,
a tremble was in his voice.
Hazel" he said, 81 came here to
show you that distance or time has
not tarnished my love for you. | came
here that you might redeem the pledge
you gave me that night in June, five
years ago, under the naples in Iowa
| came here expecting to find you with
the same old welcome; the same old
smiles: the same old love for me.
But-I-I-"
You have been disappointed" she
asked, without looking up from the
motionless water of the pool.
81 have been disappointed" he re-
piled.
The woman dug her heel in the soft
earth. a faint flush spread slowly over
her face and her lips parted, once or
twice, before she spoke. Finally she
said:
And you do not believe love you?"
81 do not believe you love me-" the
man repeated. "At least, do not be-
lieve you love me as you once did"
For an instant the woman raised
her eyes to those of the man. There
were the twin glimmers OF defiance
and denial in them. But the man.
blind with passion saw only the
CLEAN of defiance Then her eyes wan
dered to the valley outspread, like
panorama, before them, and she re-
mained silent, conscious that the man
broke the stiffness.
Hazel" he asked, very softly, do
you-love me as you did?'
Her eyes flashed darkly into his.
There is a doubt in your mind that
no simple words of mine can ever re-
move" she replied "You have pre-
sumed to pass judgment upon me be-
fore have been given even the for
mality of a trial, and now you ask.
you expect me to plead guilty to the
Indictment"
And you"

followed by the accused the world over

Then" he said, warmly, "since you
do not deny the accusation 1t must be
true"
The woman raised her eyebrows
slightly and made a sudden swinging
upward, as much as to say, "As you
please, sir" But she did not speak.
Her continued silence irritated the
man as no words could have done. He
bit his lip and his face grew red and
white by turns. Her head was bowed
slightly so that the sunlight. glisten-
ing on her hair. gave it the appearance
Of a crown of FURNISHED copper The

anger and pain throbbing in his heart,

under the trees. gazing after him, her
face flushing and her eyes flashing.
When ne reached the bottom of the
hill. the man placed the pail of water
on bench beside the door OF her
home and passed on, through the yard
to the road beyond. And then. with
a savage swing he started toward the
town, two miles away.
Not once did he glance back. But

The Canary Isn Little PIG.

The canary is always regarded as q
small eater, just as the pig is notorious
Tor its gluttony. People with small ap.
petites are often twitted for not eating
more than enough to feed canary.
and this led man who was a tiny eat.
er to watch the yellow bird and report.
de found that a canary that weighed
24I grains ate just thirty-two times its
own weight in a month; that is. it ate
rather more than its own weight on an
averaSe every day. Anyone who watch.
es the little bird will notice that it is al.
ways eating. Now. says the investiga.
tor pig doesn't eat its own weight ev.
cry day, glutton as it is. Hence he
thinks that the canary deserves to b,
classed as little pig.-London An
