Society has been wrestling with a real
mystery for the last week-one that has
occasioned any amount of speculation and
conclusions and general discomfort, for
those who might have afforded enlighten-
ment rave refused to do so, which Is not
altogether a comfortable experience for
people who are used to being humored.
Four prominent society women have been
mysteriously missing ever since last Sat-
urday, and all inquiries as to their where
abouts has elected only the reply, Miss
K is not at home" There have been
calls at their homes and telephone calls,
but always with the same result. Several
have ventured to ask II they were out OF
town, and the reply has come cheeffully
enough, "Oh, yes; she is in the city" One
woman, whose intimacy with one of tho
families warranted her asking a direct ques-
'tfon as to the whereabouts Of the absent
daughter. got only a sweet smile and the
assurance that II would be quite impossi-
BILE to see the young lady for a fortnight;
though she was quite we'll. There were
whispers Of Opponents and OF ever so
many other possible things that were ex-
asperatingly improbable, until the close of
the week, when IL was learned that the
missing ones had retired, with their music
rolls and paint boxes, to two OF the con-
vents of the city, for a ~fOrtnight's rest.

was in desperate earnest.

then blushed as red as a poppy.

Jonas caught his breath and looked
at her sharply. Had she turned mind

ton?
But Jennie wa desperately in ear

the most astonishing way, and; then
finished by bursting into a At of crying.
"But I don't want sallie Green or
May Gardner! 1 want you, or nobody,
for my wife," Jonas said bravely.
The sight of her tears had made
him bold, and he was holding her hands
now in the tenderest fashion. -;
And before II o'clock h was his
promised wife, and when he left her
there was only one cloud upon her hap

Clock said Jennie, but again May
frowned upon the suggestion.
mo, indeed! That won't do. Jonas
has no end of clocks and needs no more.
Let's give him something that he would
dream of getting for himself"
"Oh, girls!" broke in Sallie Green,
with a ringing laugh. 1--WE thought Of
the very thing! Let's give Jonas a wife
for his birthday present! He has ev-
erything else that he: needs, and you
know he is altogether too timid to even
secure a wife without some assist
ancev
won't he resent it," asked the girls,
timidly, but May checked them i'm
%periously.
"Certainly not; if she is the right one.
What man would? The only thing is
to see that she Is in every way worthy
of him, for Jonas is really a splendid
fellow, eve IL he is bashful. Jonas
shall have a wife for his birthday, that
much is settled! Now, who shall she
be, and how will we present her"
The three girls sat for a moment, in
silence; then suddenly May was struck
with a bright idea. The other girls
stared at her in breathless amazement
when she told them what it was.
"Why, May Gardner, you must be
crazy" they cried simultaneously.
mot a bit of it, said May, ~stoutly.
"Now, e here, girls, be sensible. Here
we are, getting older and older every
day.. and not a man in the village that
is manageable except Jonas. Now,
we all like him, you know we do; but
If we wait for him to propose Well all
die old maids, and that would be
awful. All Jonas needs is d little en-
couragement, and no one will ever
know that we used our influence for
each other" >"'*:;''' ="
And, finally, her reasoning prevailed,
possibly by the aid Of a tender senti.

The old man chuckled as he glanced

Jonas, with a decided shake Of his

himself abruptly. He had come very

the response has been most liberal.
During the year 1901, upwards. of
10000 from the United States. went
