Leslie were a pauper I should groa1
horribly, but I shouldn't give him up!'
Mrs. Travers began to laugh.
We'll, it isn't as bad Us that, Is it?'
she returned. AFTER all, Leslie has
quite a respectable income. l admit i
might be larger, but then, there's every
prospect of it's increasing as time goe:
on. Do you know, Mabel" Mrs. Traver:
continued, you're just a little bit in
clined to exaggerate your future hus'
bands straitened circumstances"
Perhaps I am" admitted Mabel
But then"
ooh, | know what Is in your mind
interrupted her mother. poverty is
always comparative, and so, because
you have been accustomed to a big
house and plenty of servants, a little
house with only one servant must seem
poor and meal to YOU"
Mabel looked puzzled.
You see," said Mrs. Travers, when
you compare the big house with the
little one, you're comparing your
fathers position with Leslie's, and
the one, you know is nearly thirty
years older than the other"
"Oh!" exclaimed Mabel, with start
ling emphasis. What a silly child ]
ami"
And Mrs. Travers smiled in a salts
fed way. She knew that he daugh-
Tow rr,oe ox,Itiy-o}inr tho prNpor fro mo- nj

"And 1 never thought of that!
actually expected Leslie to start
where father left off! Why, of course,
it's unreasonable. Mother, l remem-
Der now what you told me once
things have come to you gradually.
You and father began just as Leslie
and I am going to begin!"
"Well-no, not quite" returned Mrs
Travers.
But you were almost as poor,
weren't your"
Mrs. Travers laughed gaily:
eff you must know, my DEAR" she
said, your fathers salary was exactly
half the income Leslie is making now"
Mother" said Mabel, you make me
more and more asnaiu-s?of myself"
"Oh, but ours was a dangerous ex-
pertinent. You see, u income was
below the minimum of discretion"
Anyhow, the experiment ended
happily"
LAS it happened"
Mrs. Travers blushed charmingly.
ut was a risk, though, which l
shouldn't like you and Leslie to rum
"You think | don't love Leslie as
much as you loved father, and NO
wonder, after the way I've behaved
said Mabel, humbly. Mother, l wish
i wish Leslie were as poor as father
was, SO that l might show you"
The sentence was elliptical; but
Mabel's mother understood.

was fifty-one years ago. After regain

Fish remembers were from a stranger
to his partner: "Water and whisky
are the same price-you can have your
choice"
That part of Death Valley lying be"
low the sea is only about eighteen
miles long and three or four miles IN
width, but the Death Valley proper
is about seyenty-fve miles long and
from five to fifteen miles wide. AS
miles go. the distance, with water, Is
not far off: without water, eternity
lies between one and the little black
dots on the map that mark the location
Of water. There are true and correct
nap Of the valley, but they are scared

pectors. .
HORRORS OF THE VALLEY.
In the cooler seasons men Injured to
the h%ardships Of the desert have been
known to go several days without
water, subsisting on the juice Of the
cactus; in the summer season from
twenty-four to t~hirty-six hours is suf"
fcient to unsettle their reason. A new
conner: q "tenderfoot." will go stark,
raving mad in from four to eight hours
in hot weather if he has not water.
To such men three gallons Of water
per day are necessary-the hot, dry at
mosphere causing a rapid evaporation
and phenomenal thirst. During the
DAYS in the middle of the summer the
thermometer stands anywhere from
