An Independent Lassie.

In front of confectioner's shop in
Paris there used to sit a woman with
two wooden legs. sShe sold pictures
and songs and played well on the vio-

and dressed with a good deal of taste,
and when Louis Napoleon, then merely
Prince Louis, used to go through the
street nearly every day, he never pass
ed without giving her something.
She knew him and was also aware of
his pecuniary embarrassments and his
political ambitions. One evening she
said to him, Monsieur, want to say
a word to you
"Say it. madame"
"They tell me that you are a good
deal cramped just now. | have at my
house a comfortable sum which is
earning nothing. Let me offer it to
you. You will return the favor when
you are emperor"
Prince Louis did not accept the mon
ey, but he did not forget the kindness
and when he became emperor he offer
ed her a small annuity. The woman
was as independent as she was gener-
Gus. "Say to the emperor" she re-
turned, "that it is exceedingly good of

Several weeks had elapsed since

of letters on the EDITORS desk, when one
morning be searched through the heap
of manuscripts and nothing blue met
his eye.
Disappointment was his first sensa-
ton; then his heart began to beat
faster, for a long, white, commonplace
looking envelope with a familiar hand
writing across it stared him in the
face. He tore it open nervously. Beth
had begun her career.
Leaning back in his chair, the editor

he thought. lit is good. 1t is we'll told.
1t is we'll worth printing"
A realization Of the fact that Beths
story was good took her farther and
farther from Forrest. He read it again,
and as he finished the last page a light
dawned on his face.
Turning to his stenographer, he die
tated a businesslike and still some

her the story was not bad, yet it was
not available for publication. He re-

tated to her. Less and less of the lover
was suggested in them and more of the
critical editor. One by one her manu-
scripts came to him, and one by one
they were folded and placed in the
drawer reserved for them. Each one
brought back to Beth a letter saying
there was an Improvement but that
they were still unavailable"
The stories came frequently for
months, and very few little blue let
ters came to Forrest. The manuscripts
were better than any he was printing
monthly in his magazine, but he must
gain his end. He was not an editor in
this case. He was a determined wooer.
Fewer stories and more blue letters

that discoura cement was dawning in
Beth's heart? 1t was with difficulty
that the editor kept within the limits
of New York when each letter now
said plainly, Il am tired Of my career"
But he would wait.

have laughed at the strenuous manner
in which the editorial was written.
AS it was, he closed his desk early
that evening, giving orders that he
would not be at the office for a day or
two. He also sent to the printers be-
fore leaving the office the first of Sc

Forrest HarWood walked aimleSSly
through the archway of trees leading
to his old he ne. Those two weeks of
his summer holiday had been happily
spent-toO happily-fOr now, on the
last night, it all seemed like q dream.
There had been an awakening.
Why, he asked himself, had he been
so blind to the harvest he was reaping
for himself? All the days he had spent
telling Beth Knox of his life in New
York were now to Forrest HARDWOOD as
SO many stones added to the obstacle
impeding his life's happiness. And
with what a different purpose he had
related all the pleasant little happen
ing in the literary world-in his world.
The hope that she should learn to see it
through his eyes has prompted all the
prettily told incidents.
Little did he know then of the am
bition he was creating within Beth's
breast to be of that world, not merely
in it. When he had asked her on that
last night to come with him, to live
with him in his world, to help him

chosen, she told him gently, but firmly,
no. She would have a career; she
would write and be some one.
And so it was that Forrest Harwood
returned to his desk conscious that he
had, all unintentionally, made an am
bilious woman of his little playmate.
He felt that she had loved him, but he
had spoiled all that. She would have
her career, and he would take up the
work where he had left it--with no
Beth.
The little blue missives from the
home town were filled with enthusiasm
for the new work More and more of
the ambitious woman and less of the
little Beth peeped out from between
the lines
But Forrest was none the less eager
to search through the great piles of
mail for the coveted letters. They
came at regular intervals, each one
laying the foundations for big castles.

Queer African Mask.

Grotesque masks are Worn in many
parts of Africa during dances and reli-
gious ceremonies. The reason is be.
cause a symbolic significance is at
cached to them and they are especially
supposed to possess the power of pre-
serving those who ear them from the
fnfluence Of evil spirits.
The masks are generally made or
wood, and some are carved with rare
skill. When q chief or the head of a
family dies. he leaves his mask to his
successor, and the latter is bound to
wear it. In every village there is an
artist who repairs masks and occasion
ally makes a few new ones, and it is
said that no one does a more thriving
Business than he.
Ethnologists have been trying to find
out the exact time when these masks
first came into use. but all they have
learned as yet is that they have been
sPopular in Africa for many centuries.

Shadow SuperstitiOns.

Our proverb, Devil catch the hind
most" is based on one of the curious
shadow legends. According to the fa-
Bile, the devil had a regular school at
Toledo, Spain. Commencement was
~inaugurated by the graduating class
running through a long subterranean
hall. The devil hid at a place known
only to himself, and if he caught the
hindmost" he ever after claimed him or
her as his special property. Sometimes
he only caught the shadow, and the
persons thus deprived of their second
self were supposed to make the best
astrologers and magicians.
Nearly all East Indian tribes as well
as the Malayans and several African
sects believe that if a man walks
along the south bank of Il river casting
his shadow across the water a crocO-
ollie will seize it and thus draw the
owner to certain death.
Several writers, Fiske among the
rest, say that Tic Zuius have a supersti-
ton similar to that OF the old Baby
lonians-viz, that Il dead body has no
shadow. The Modocs and the kla-
maths Of Oregon formerly refused to
have their pictures taken for fear that
the process would take away their
shadows. In the Aryan folk tale the
s~switchdalo,' or "iNfernal Sabbath"
was celebrated only by witches shad-

a truthful nan would have been con.
pletely lost but that Senator Frye
came to NY rescue and corroborated
the accuracy OF my statement. l said
that in Wyoming men frequently catch

scratching them on the stomach. Trout
abound in the streams Of Wyoming,
and the beautiful speckled trout is
found in every stream. In many of the

very tall and screens q man from the

men to crawl to the edge OF a stream
and. carefully reaching through the
tall grass, put II hand in the stream
and under the edge If the bank. When
the hand ain in contact with Il big
trout, the mar would slowly begin
scratching the fish on the stomach.
This has the effect of making the fish
curl up and apparently show great de-
light in the scratching. Slowly the
man scratches along the body of the
fish until he reaches the "ills, when lie
u II one finger into the gill and hauls
the lazy fish out of the water. This is
frequently done. When so much dis
belief was expressed at the time | told
the story. Senator Frye came to my
aid by saying that he Lad known the
same thing to be done in the trout
streams Of Maine. Yes. Wyoming is
the greatest fishing country on earth,
