Jimmy, picking up his treasured pos
session. My, won't m give it
to you, Uncle Bert, when she finds out
you've broken Miss Sibley's mirror"
Some of the pink bloom went out of
Miss Grants face.
Did Laura Sibley give Minna-give
your mother-that, JimmyY
Her voice sounded so cold Jimmy
looked quickly up in intuitive interro-
cation.
"Yes-last Christmas. Why, Aunt
Vivia?'
"Oh, nothing." returned Viva Grant.
A strange, swift suspicion shot
through the mind of Herbert Barrows.
He leaned forward eagerly. Thoughts,
recollections, were crowding up In be-
wildering succession.
"Vivia, tell me-" he half pleaded, half
commanded, was it because of my
my attention to Miss Sibley at the
commencement dance that you sent me
back my ring? Frank Lennard vas
away that night, and he feared Laura
would feel lonely, so, as we both had
belonged to the same fraternity
"Frank Lennardr" Viva exclaimed.
"You don't mean to say
"Why, of course! l suppose you knew
they were to be married in October,
dearest. What's that-you're hurtT'
A thin red line showed through the
pale. transparent stuff of her sleeve.
He had pushed the material up in an
instant and was binding the slight
wound with his handkerchief.
"It's only d scratch, Bert" She was
laughing a trife Historically. We've
we've both been-at least I've been
awfully foolish!!'
Jimmy" said Barrows, "Tll give you
80 cents If you'll take that broken glass
out and throw it In the ditch"
"Betcher llfe!' responded Jimmy. He
loaded a basket and started off.
ITO think that a broken mirror should
bring the girl was saying.
Hello, Jimmy! Back so soon? Here's
your halfr' Herbert dipped the one
hand at liberty into his pocket. He
brought out a dollar. Say" he bar
gained, "Tll give you all of this If you
stay out and watch, sentry fashion
like a soldier, you know-that no n
takes that glass out of the ditch"
"Will II" replied Jimmy. PUT it
here! l knew my horseshoe would bring
me good luckr
The face against Herbert's shoulder
was lifted m~ischievOusly.
as 1t good luck, Bert?" she question
ed q~uizzically.
1.-THE best in the world" he declared
emphatically. He concluded his SEN
tence with a lovers period.
"Geer' said Jimmy softly, looking
back over his shoulder. "Gee!'

COPIED FROM ANIMALS.

Many human devices are copied from
animals.
The woodpecker has Il powerful little
trip hammer.
The jaws of the tortoise and turtle
are natural scissors.
The framework of a ship resembles
the skeleton of "a herring.
The squirrel carries a chisel in his
mouth and the bee the carpenters
plane.
The gnat fashions it's eggs in the
shape of a lifeboat. You cannot sink
them without tearing them to pieces.
The diving bell initiates the water
spider. 1t constructs a small cell under
the water, clasps a bubble of water be-
tween its legs, dives down into its sub
marine chamber with the bubble, dis
placing the water gradually until its
abode contains a large, airy room sur
rounded by water.

Jimmy popped his head in at the
door.
Say" he shouted, Mrs. Brently
wants you and papa to go over to
Beechwood with her. She's got the
surrey out on the road"
In all the confusion of q newly &C.
cupied cottage, Mrs. Barrows, lifting
an etching to her husband, who stood
halfway up a stepladder, could only
shake her head in declination.
Tell her I'm yer so much obliged.
Jimmie, but it's impossible"
Hold on, Jim!' called his father.
I'm not so sure of that, Minna. You're
tired out. Your old nervous headache
will come back if you keep on fussing
around the house. The rest of these
pictures can wait. Or Bert will help
me-"
lie looked interrogatively at the
young man stretched out in a low rat
tan steamer chair, a magazine in one
hand and a cigarette in the other.
ITO be sure | will" he answered
heartily. go N, Minna! The drive
will do you good"
Little Mrs. Barrows, plump, dtmpled
and black eyed, held up a positive fore
finger.
Il don't go without Henry" she de-
clared. IF any n needs an outing
it's this poor fellow, who is tied to a
stool behind a brass railing six days
out of seven"
Like a bird in a gilded eager" sang
Herbert Barrows gayly.
Minna Barrows looked a~ffectionately
at her husband. Precisely. Come on,
Henry! I'll be ready in a flash if you'll
come too"
The stepladder groaned as the big
man stepped down.
you're an awful tyrant, Minna"
He gave her a caressing pat on the
shoulder as he passed. But we will
knock off work if you say So"
The two, freshly groomed and crisp
ly clad, looked in on Herbert to say
a word of adieu before joining their
friend.
Don't let any one steal you," advis-
ed Henry Barrows.
Il won't" he laughed back. Hand
some men are scarce"

in-law and made a feint of throwing
her parasol at him.

A Warm RetOrf,

while | have hitherto sworn off
smoking as a New Years pledge which
has never been kept" said a Universal
list minister at the jewelers. club din
ner in Chicago some years ago, this
night, with a beautiful smoking set as
a souvenir, has brought to me the de-
termination to make a new pledge that
/ can keep-to smoke as long as | live"
William Porter Williams was the
POSTMASTER. He had been considerably
scratched at by the Universalist broth
er. When the minister was seated Mr..
Williams said, when | reflect upon
the uncharitableness of my brother in
what he said about me, l am con-
strained to wonder why in making that
resolution to smoke as long as he lived
he necessarily drew the line at his
eath."-Everybody's.

Uncle Bert. Aunt Vivia will take care
of him."
Herbert Barrows sat suddenly erect.
"Viviaw he repeated. Are you ex-
pecting Viva? You did not say any
thing about it."
Husband and wife exchanged a
guilty glance.
"Well, we knew that you and Viva
were not the best friends in the world
Mrs. Barrows began falteringly.
"Pll go up to town on the 3:30 train,'
decided Herbert. His clean cut, clean
shaved young face looked tremendous
ly determined. He had gone oddly pale
