THE BISHOP AND THE WAFFLEs.-
The late Bishop Dudley of Kentucky
was wont to relate with much relish
an interesting experience which he
once had in connection with wafties.
At a fine old Virginia homestead
where he was a frequent guest the
waffies were always remarkably good.
One morning as breakfast drew near
an end. the tidy little en-coated
black boy who served at table ap-
preached Bishop Dudley and asked in
{. low voice.
Bishop. won't have 'ne'er waft1e?'
Yes" said the genial bishop, Il be-
lieve l will"
"Dey amt no mo-" then said the
nice little black boy.
We'll" exclaimed the surprised rev.
erend gentleman. ''if there aren't any
more waffies. what made you ask me
If wanted another one?"

boy. "You's done ct ten already. an l

One Sunday, after Tommy had at
tended Sunday school as usual. he
watched his father take the custom

said:
Papa, Moses was the first man to

II don't know, Tommy: why?" re-
piled his father.
Because said Tommy, "the

gle Us LEAD."-Dean Hole In
his book, More Memories" tells an
amusing story of how an old woman
got the better Of her clergyman in an
argument. The village churchyard
was overcrowded except on its sunless
northern side, in which the suicide was
buried. One day the vicar while visit
ing a poor old woman who was nigh
unto death, thought he would try to
get her consent to be buried in the
roomy northern plot. He began by
assuring her that the common aversion
to burial in any particular portion Of
consecrated ground was a silly preju-
dice and a foolish superstition. Then
he besought her, as a personal favor
to himself and as an example to 9TH
ers. to permit her body to be buried In
the .northernGpiot of the churchyard.
The old woman thought 1t all over
for a few minutes and then answered,
"Well sir. as you seem to think as one
part OF the churchyard Is as good as
another and that 1t makes no differ
ence where we be put. perhaps you'll
gle US a lead"
. The vicar did not grasp the argu-
ment. but he changed the subject.

or its limitations, now so generally
worn. The fiat-lined skirt, as 1t Is
called when skirt and lining are made
in one, is scarcely ever seen: its re-
turn has been rumored. but 1t seems
hardly likely to find much favor, as
skirt of this sort is always heavy. 1t
is true that so much cloth and so much
lining have probably the same actual
weight whether made together or Sc
parately, but the unlined skirt worn
over the foundation pe:ticoat is ap-
parently much lighter and certainly
more graceful.
A small fortune-or a big one, for
that matter-may be spent this season
simply on hair ornaments. 1t Is the
back combs that claim chief attention,
and. come what will. the woman up
to date must have one that carries a
band of shell carving. of FURNISHED
gold or line of glittering stones across
the back of the head. Back combs
vary in size, but it is safe to say that
the average length is from three and
half to four inches. AS a rule the back
of the comb holding the ornamentation
is about an inch deep. A band of
gold, FURNISHED to lookingglass bright
ness, chased in elaborate design or
deeply engraved, forms the back of
many of the soldier kinds. The plain
ness of these broad gold backs Is
sometimes relieved by tiny scattered
jewels. Amber in a new palish green
tone is one of the novelties. The backs
of these amber combs are treated with
carving. which is stained into deeper
shadings and set with harmonizing
stones, or beautified with gold orna-
mentation. New, also, is the use OF
canoes and miniatures in comb backs.
Four canoes set in gold openwork
back makes a comb beautiful enough
10 claim attention in a showcase full
of effective styles. Four miniatures
wreathed with gold leaves make
rival comb in the same case.

what a Jeweler Says of Discovery of s
 New System.

q see in some papers that new way of cutting diamonds has been dis covered" says a jeweler. '1There are almost as many new ways of cutting diamonds discovered as systems to beat the bank at Monte Carlo, anG they are about as successful. As a matter of fact, diamond cutting has been reduced to an exact science. The two best-known systems are the bril- liant and rose cuts. To obtain the greatest possible brilliance with the least waste stones are brilliant-cut- that is, cut with flat top, or table, as 1t is called. Rose-cut stones are cut without the top table and are flat in back. A bigger diamond can be produced by rose-cutting than by brilliant-cutting, but 1t will not pcs sess half the brilliance of the latter. Rose diamonds are used largely n in- ~sssed jswelry."

CHAPTER X.
DARRELL AGAIN AT THE HALF WAY
 HOUSE.


 Darrel tarricd for breakfast at the Half Way house. Here he had the first opportunity of testing the eff feetiveness of his disguise.
 The shrinking personality of the man in corduroys was we'll assumed. In dismounting at the stable, Jimmie the hostler, wished him a brusque "howdy. then averted his face, winked at a friend standing near by and thrust his tongue in his cheek.
 Dislike was written large in the pro prietor's face when Darrel entered the office. Darrel save small heed to this and dropped into chair with his eyes on a second man who happened to be in the room at that moment
 This man was none other than the youth whose money Darrel had saved at Hawkbill's and who had so well re- paid the debt. The young mans keen glance swept the fugitive then turned away without the slightest sign of rec ognition
 The sheriff went up War Eagle way last night" said the proprietor, resum- ing his conversation with the young man
 With the intention of Investigating the explosion?"
 T reckon that's it. He wants to make out whether the Sandy Bar chaps told the facts or jest rung in a yer sion of the Rabian Nights onto him"
 I've been up the trail and looked over the ground and there cant be the slightest doubt of what happened. ," There was an undertone of regret and sadness in the young mans voice.
 Here's the pint" returned the pro- prietor, argumentatively Ifs it pos. sible to snake man off'n the earth in that away"
 "tlye hundred pounds Of dyna- mite"
 T know about that There ain't no question in my mind but that that much giant powder u'd lay out rigi- ment, but here: would 1t wipe out the remains of a rigiment or of even one man. It don't seem sensible, not ter me
 There wasn't a trace of the wagon left; and if the wagon was sponged out so effectually why not Darrell"
 It was the same argument used by Cliff and ii was unanswerable.
 Well, was the dogged answer. I'll allers have my doubts, anyways. One things sure; Uncle Alb was in luck ter git bounced outn the wagon be- fore the blow-up. an the team was in luck ter break away from the wagon an git out O range The sheriff is comin back this afternoon an then maybe we'll know more. Wonder who gets Murgatroyds thousand dollars?"
 It isn't likely that any one will get it.

 Circumstances had placed Darrel in his present unpleasant plight. From now on he must pay due regard to cir cumstances and at all times consider them we'll
 Moodily he paced the confines of the hut, the figuratiye terms of the doc tors letter running through his brain. Gradually his face grew rapt and ee- static.
 He could add something to the tragic circumstances under which the body would be found. In a moment he had dropped down at the table Tearing a yellow scrap from the pa per bag that had contained the lunch con, he fumbled through the unaccus- toned pockets until he had found a pencil
 Then he wrote:
 Flight of star or shlvering beam Failing athwart the storm-cloud's s
 wrack
 Follow and find Is it truth or dream. Lamp Of the gods or a giow-worm s
 track.
 N D He was not a poet-he could not lay that fattering unetion to his soul. A poet is not a man who feels but a man who can write what all men feel This quatrain was as near as Darrel could come to analyZing, in words, the emotions of the moment McCloud had gone into the unknown of death while this other fugitive was steering towards the unknown in life.
 Over the head of the bunk Darrel left his verse, impaling it on silver of wood. Then he packed McCloud's s belongings in the travelling bag and started from the hut. At the door he paused and turned, his eyes on the still form in the bunk.
 T leave you here, Nathan Darrel, . he said, "an innocent. we'll meaning man who fared ill at the hands of others and who tried to be honest but could not be honorable. Now let us see how well Junius MeCloud retrieyes himself" :"
 Half an hour later he was riding through the gray dawn, mounted on the calico cayuse and with the old travelling bag fast at the saddle-can- tie.

 This dilemma had been anticipated and Darrel knew it was not to be shirked. It was the one point of weak ness in his new armor.

 The boy was called and took pos session of the trayeling-bag. The clerk handed him a key and then Darrel fol- lowed him up stairs

New York. Sept 1S.-The advancing
tendency of prices which held through
last week was continued in today's
stock market. The movement did not
persist in full vigor throughout the
day but it was interrupted by oeca-
sional halts and reactions. but there
was not an actual reversal of course
of prices
The day was without special Incl.
dent in the way of news, but alvices
from all quarters were corroborative
'of extraordinary prosperity, prevailing
in all parts of the country and in all
lines of business. Money market con
tinued to work closer but in so grad
ual way as to cause little actual
disturbance.
The sub-treasury's withdrawal from
the market was less than in the cor
responding period of last week and
New York exchange at Chicago rose TO
"a parallel indicating lessened demand
upon New York from the interior. The

that in Reading. Its sympathetic effect

aided by the latters favorable annual
