feet of Sturdy McQuinn.
A crowd had gathered at a small ur-
chin's cry of fight" and just as Stur'

a policeman stepped up and marched
both victor and victim off to the sta
t~ion-house.
No one had heard a woman's scream
from behind the closed blinds of the
little house opposite. but Mary had
seen both the Personal and her
avenger. A strange, new light burned
in her eyes as she paced the floor. long
ing for morning.
Early the next day. Mr.. Stevens. the
foreman of the composing-room, was
wanted at the telephone.
A puzzled expression spread over his
face as he heard his absent typeset

down to the district police station. A
cab was soon speedily covering the
distance, and the newspaper man was
received with great Difference at head
quarters. Yes; the prisoner had vic
lently assaulted a man, without prov
ocation. OF course, If he was a FRIEND
of Mr.. Stevens it would be all right

Sturdy was being plotted out to the
cab and had no time to explain.
At the entrance they almost col

much embarrassed. Sturdy, stopped,
looked helplessly first at Mary, then
ut his rescuer, who felt there was
something very important happening.
"Mr. Stevens" said a sweet ever voice,
"Sturdy and L are going to be married
very soon, and seeing that he has been
with you for SO long, and so fond OF
you, l knew you would like to know"
So Mary and her sadly damaged. pa

The foreman noticed this change and
wondered. Sturdy had been his right

nerve-racking work. never missing a

burden of his overwrought chief.
There was something SO reassuring
about this big mans calm voice; the
echo of a self-reliant and resource

blow silently, as all brave men meet

The country mouse envies the city

longing of the concerts, b theaters,
the tempting shops and the congenial
people of the city, and compares them
with the solitude, the. drudgery, and
the poverty of resource offered by vii
lage or farm. But the country woman
has one treasure that many of her city
cousins may well coyet. She takes 1t
for granted-as she takes the sky, the

voices; to a great many city women II

of the famous Rock Garden, of Lam

began to build his unique rockery
shortly after his succession.
The result of half a. century's work
is a iliputian fairyland of fancy. He
took space measuring 80 feet by 81
feet, and, rising at the summit to "a

NEWEST DANCE IN PARIS.
The Sensational Cakewalk Goes Out
md the Dance Of the Veil
Comes In.

The tickle Parisians have tired al
ready of the cakewalk, and, in their re-
volt against what they now denounce
as "American choreography and the
contortions of redskins in delirium. -
lovers of the gavotte and minuet hail
with enthusiasm a new and charming
dance entitled the ''dance of the veil"
In a poetic description of this novelty
the Gaulois says: Imagine young
girl with folds of muslin which look like
diaphanous wings attached to the right
and left of her ball corsage. The ma
terial adhering to the costume is taken
in the hands, which give to it move
ment harmonizing with the dance, and
completing it by kind of supple and
delightful cooperation. The dancer
seems to glide forward, pushed along
by. the littl lie white wings, and the lu.
minous spangles ON the dress, forming
as it were, a milky way, send back
rays Of light: leaving behind them a
train Of gold and fire. ~~. H. ~'.'.$. .%
1T is a slow and noble dance, with
the majesty of the waltz and the har.
mony of pose, and tomorrow, in the
dance of the veil, which has dethroned
the saraband of the hams of Chicago.
the young girls will open their wings
and escape from the meshes of the hor,
