Fun at Home.

Don't be afraid of little fun at
home, good people. Don't shut up
your houses lest the sun fade your
carpets, and your heart lest laugh
should shake down some of the musty
cobwebs there. If you want to ruin
your sons let them think that all mirth
and social enjoyment must be left on
the threshold when they come home at
night. When once horne is regarded
as only place to eat, to drink and
to sleep, the work is begun which ends
in gambling houses and degradation.
Young people must have fun an relax
atino somewhere. If they do not find
it at their own hearthstones, it will be
sought in others, perhaps less profit
able places. Therefore let the fire
burn brightly at home, ever delight
full with all those little arts that par
ents SO artfully understand. Don It
repress the buoyant spirit of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight of
home that blot out the remembrance
OF many care and annoyance during
the day: and the best safeguard they
can take with them into the world is
the unseen influence of bright and
domestic sanctum.-Ex.

IN HE next morning after break
i fast sat in my favorite win
|6S%iSSl dow and cut off the end of
E&gD one of my mildest cigars. I
was feeling for my matchbox when
there was cracking sound at my ell
bow, and there stood Jimmy Lamoine
offering me light.
James, said I, accepting the match,
Il observe that you rarely use any
form of salutation. That is why the
pleasure Of seeing you is so often
heightened by surprise"
Good morning, sir" said he gravely.
"Good morning, James. Have you
seen Miss Witherspoon today?'
He shook his head
Il don't see her very Often" said he.
"She's always at work. But she
wouldn't tell YOU
wouldn't tell me what?" demand
ed
"About the young lady who lives in
the orchard" said he.
Now, it really had been in my mind
that I would ask Miss Witherspoon a
few questions not directly about the
girl, but of a general character de-
signed to fix the limits of the problem.
l would like to know, for instance,
about how many young ladies there
We're in the house who might be Sibyl,
Tor it would be disturbing to my mind
to meet a new one every day without
having any notion how long this proc

my intention to question Jimmy La
moline, partly because of the difference
in our years, but more because I had
great and growing distrust of his We
raclty. Yet since he came Haunting his
cloak OF mystery in my face and with
somewhat the air of a champion sent
forth by the other side I set him down
for fair game.
"Why should wish to know any
thing about the young lady?" said L.
What is she to me?'
Jimmy shifted from one foot to the
other and finally said:
Il thought you wanted to get her to
move OUT
1t would have been a good answer if
he hadn't been obliged to hunt for it..
decided to converse further with this
precocious youth and opened my lips
to say "Come in" but he anticipated
the words, nodding and pointing to the
other window. 1t was so aptly done
that did not speak at all. I merely
nodded in response, and he climbed in
to the room.
There was a heap of pictures on nv
desk, mostly small photographs Of
scenes and people abroad. I put the
print Of Sibyl among them and then in
vfted Jimmy's inspection. For few
minutes the boy dropped his mask.
He viewed the pictures with hearty in

meet her face to face, and have no
present hope OF ever doing So"
Derringer smoked hard and Trask
took off his hat and rubbed his rough
red hair with a gesture of impatience.
1T is the mystery" Scovel continued,
waving his hand gently and gracefully
toward the orchard. Our interest
might vanish if we saw her. BY the
way, came very near doing so yester-
day afternoon. I was out on the lake
and she was sketching by the shore, so
I rowed in a little way
Instantly there was a strong chill in
the air, and Scovel who, to do him jus
tice, was in some respects a sensitive
animal, detected it and stopped.
We'll, l didn't exactly row in," he
said after 4 pause; II let her drift
"A distinction without difference
said Trask. ''An unwritten law cir
cumscribes that orchard
mo man can be less inclined to in.
trude than 1 am protested Scovel.
However, if without intrusion one
might have q glimpse of her face
He did not finish the sentence, but it
had the effect of a question The
silence of Derringer and Trask was as
loud as any voice ever heard
For instance the lawyer persisted
I'VE are clearly within our rights here
Now to state a hypothetical question
Suppose you, Mr.. Trask, We're standing
IN this spot during the hours of day
light and saw the young lady approach.
ing, would you not hold that the re.
sponsibility of a meeting, if one should
occur, would rest with her?'
How natural it isl said Trask, ad-
dressing the moon, ':for a lawyer tC
break the law"
But should be inclined to argue''-
Scovel began.
"Of course you would" interrupted
Trask. ''That is what you are on earth
for
Scovel laughed.
Twill the court please rule on the
matter of Miss Scott said he, ''as to
whether it would be within the statute
for me to make her acquaintance?
IF she requests the pleasure of hay

court will not interfere. But don't
make any advances"
Scovel sat down on the fence and ap-
peared to consider these rulings The
conversation waned and died. We
wandered silently back to the house.
For my own part I was too deeply
perpleXed to talk much. The situation
was extremely unusual. 1t was evil
dent that the girl was of vital interest
TO Trask and Derringer, while no moro
than an object of romantic speculation
and natural curiosity to Scovel; that
the lawyer did not even attempt to
guess who she was, though the other
two men had settled convictions upon
the subject
Moreover, would have made oath
that Trask and Derringer We're not in
each others confidence, and that their
views about the girl We're utterly at
variance. 1t would be impossible for
me to state the grounds of this belief
or to quote word spoken by either of
them in support of this theory The
thing was in the air. held it for GER
tain that one of these men was delud-
ing himself with romantic notion
that had no basis in fact. Indeed both
might be mistaken.
