An Array of Thirteens.

Superstition seems to be part of the
mental composition Of every one, and
it commonly centers TO rooted an
tipathy to the number thirteen. This
first Of the teens has had to stand for
many an action that was ridiculous,
and yet there is hardly any person who
would sidestep an inch or mournfully

ter dollar on the sidewalk. In fact, he
would be only too eager to place it gen
tly in his pocket. Have you ever tax, I
the trouble TO scan closely this small
piece of silver? If you have not you
may be surprised to find on the eagle
side that there are thirteen arrows in
the bundle which Is clutched in the left
claw, thirteen laurel leaves on the
branch in the other claw, thirteen stars
his head, thirteen letters in the Lat
IN inscription "E Pluribus Unum,' thir-
teen letters in the words quarter dol
lar" thirteen stripes on the shield, and
on the front of the silver piece are thir-
teen stars surrounding the Liberty head
and thirteen leaves in Liberty's crown
This array of thirteen is in commemo-
ration of the original thirteen states
which comprised the Union. Despite
its many thirteens the quarter is not
considered unlucky.

for such chances, she was soon pouring
out this new grievance to him in the
shelter of the park
Frank seized the moment to urge
their marriage at once, but in spite of
her Indignation Kitty could not quite
make up her mind to take that step
She felt that she could not bear to be
utterly estranged from her only living
relative because of her disobedience
Something might happen to change
Aunt Eliza-and anyway, she was de
termined to see Frank when and where
she could, and she would be true tC

dabbed her eyes with her handkerchief,
swelling with pride at the similarity of
her position with that of her favoRite,
prosecuted heroine.
Frank had preserved moody ST.
lence, his eyes fixed on a distant bill
board just now being spread with fam
ing posters. Suddenly he started up
alertly, broad smile chasing the gloom
from his countenance. The smile in
creased to wide grin, chuckle, and
presently, to Kitty's establishment, he
broke into a gust of laughter
"Girlie, I've got the greatest idea
ever! Well be married and not run
up against auntie's veto eltherr' He
gleefully explained the. scheme that had
flashed into his mind. There's a sort
of negative consent In her declaration,
though she never dreamed Of it, of
course, but she'll see 1t herself" he as
serted.
Kitty reflected gravely, saw the
point, was suddenly and completely
convinced of it's legitimacy and added
a ripping chime to his outlaws.
They arranged everything down tc
the smallest detail and decided that
during the intervening time they would
conduct themselves as If In submis
sion to an adverse fate; therefore Miss
Kitty was Gemurely deferential to her
aunt's wishes and sweetly If some
what mournfully obedient, in SO much
that that austere lady's really kind
heart gave her some uncomfortable
moments. She became more compli-
ant, and, as Kitty seemed disposed to
nope, exerted herself to interest the
girl, even sacrificing her dignity to
the extent of proposing that, dressed
plainly, they should join the herd Of
sightseers and witness circus parade.

You shall never marry her on the
face of this earth"' Aunt Eliza de-
livered her assertion automatically
and swept from the room. closing the
door with an emphasis that made tear
full Kitty Shrek.
The young man whose temerity had
evoked the declaration gathers the
little figure in q comfortable embrace,
saying coaxiugly. Look here. grille,
what's the use Of caring whether she
consents or not? You're eighteen. Let's
be married anyway"
"But-but papa gave her control of
me and my property till am twenty
four You know she-she can keep
me from having penny all that time"
She's welcome to. We won't need
it. But as for waiting six years
that's out of the question, and we are
not going to do IT, Besides, she de-
clares l shall never marry you any
way. and we will have to do without
her consent in the end or give each
other up"
Giving each other up was not to be
considered AT all, Kitty agreed. but she
had not the courage openly to defy
Aunt Eliza. and the only thing seemed
to be to wait.
But as the weeks passed the waiting
policy appeared only to strengthen
Mrs. Stratton's opposition 10 her
niece's marriage with Frank Renfew.
She grew distinctly tyrannical, finally
prohibiting the young mans visits, and
forbidding Kitty to recognize him at
chance meetings. Then the girl flared
up and demanded some good reason
for her aunt's unexplained attitude of
hostility to Frank. There was none,
really, except the willful desire to
dominate affairs.
But she told Kitty sharply: HE is not
at all the man to contribute to your
happiness, and he has not the ability
to manage your property successfully.
In plain words, he isn't burdened with
any too much smartness."

ness, and I'd trust Franks 'smartness'
with every cent l haye!" Kitty retort-
ed.

the matter settled and shall expect you
to act accordingly, else you may find
yourself in school again"

last word. as was her habit, but the
threat made Kitty rebellious, and she

The Ignornnt Egyptian women.

1t IS difficult for English women to
realize the darkness of mind resulting
from the seclusion of women 1t is
true of most that they have never even
seen book and rarely an Arabic news
paper. Practically none can read.
They have not even picture books.
Anything like serious conversation is
unknown. They can talk about their
babies or their trinkets, but nothing
else. Their needlework is mechanical
embroidery. They cannot make their
own clothes. They know nothing OF
what Is passing in the outer world, nor
do they even realize that there is an
outer world. In the country the peas.
ant women are not secluded. They
are acquainted with the ordinary op-
erations of agriculture, but in the
towns they know nothing of this. They
have no idea or wish to know where
potato comes from or how it grows.-
