THE LOVERS CANDLES.
An oId courtship Custom That stiIl
 Prevails Tn Poland.

A quaint old superstition Is to this day held in Poland to the effect that two lighted candles set afloat on the river by two lovers will by their con duct foretell if the course of true love will run smooth or otherwise.
 The "lovers' candles" are launched at a very pretty water fete that takes place every summer on that part of the vistula which runs through Poland. 1t commences at sunset. The river is thronged with a procession of little boats containing masked ladies and gentlemen. Each person carries two wreaths and two candles, the latter representing the person carrying them and the object of his or her affections. They are lighted, fixed firmly in the center of the wreaths and laid side by side in the water. Should they float down the river close together 1t is sign that their lives should be united. Should they drift away from each oth- CT it is a sign that the lovers will be parted, and should they only drift asunder for little way and farther on come together again it is a sign that the loved ones will only be parted for a time and all come right in the end. There is much method and order about the arrangement of this procession. The boats glide along in rows, so many abreast, and after the first row have proved their wreaths they move away to the sides and the others come for ward in succession. The river is well Illuminated, and a large concourse of people assemblies to watch the pro- ceedings. The scene is a charming one and reminds one more of fairyland than of anything else.

MATELESS PIGEONS.
( Curious Provision of Nature to End
 ~~~.- Their Solitude.

N~~>-~, Their Solitude.
 Pigeons are homogeneous" said a raiser of those birds for market, ''and the female lays but two eggs. One of these is always the egg from which a male is matched, and the other incloses the future female. If by any accident a cock pigeon loses its mate or a hen pigeon becomes widowed the sympa- thies of the entire cot go out to the afflicted brother or sister If it should so happen that cock should lose his mate and hen hers, so that they are both mateless at the same time, the af- flicted pair soon forget their grief in new life partnership, and all is serene
 ''But if there is a widower in the cot and no convenient widow for him to iaKEe to mSta, or if there is widow for whom no widower pigeon is on hand, something must be done to fill the va cancy. Upon the first hen pigeon to nest after the vacancy occurs falls the important duty. If she hasn't matched her eggs yet she promptly dumps one of the two out of the nest. She never makes a mistake in evicting the right one. If widow is to be provided for, the hen throws out the egg containing her future daughter; if a widower is pining for a mate she disposes of the son egg. If she has matched her egg when demand is made for her sacri- fee she ceases feeding the youngster who will be superfuous and starves it to death. Pigeons grow fast. and, sQuabhood over, the lone product of that nest becomes mate to the bereaved member of the f1ock''

"All right; take your time. only don't
take too long. It's up to you to decide.
Good night Keep me posted on the
boys condition
A half hour later Jim Dolan and two
or three of his fellow reporters tum-
bled in, eager to know what Raymond
had seen in the valley.
To them he said: Boys. / haven't a
word to say. I'm sorry L can't offer
you a bed, for Louis. my boy friend,
is very sick. Dolan, l wish you would
send up the best doctor in Bozle. Tell
him there's money in it if he comes
tonight"
To Matt, Raymond turned. GO on
with your meeting without me. i can
do nothing till this boy lodges this
fever" And Kelly went away, reluc-
family, to meet with the leaders of the
neutral party, robbed of half his reso-
luton for he, too, loved the sick lad.
AT u O'Clock, when some of the men
were passing Raymond went out and
called Baker and said in the tone of one
who had at last decided on plan of
action, Il want you to carry message
to Doggy and see that it gets there"
And Baker, having a long training as
cowboy behind him, accepted his order
like soldier.
The telegram was addressed to the
sheriff and read:
They're on to your box car game. Look
out! A PEACE LOVER.
At 1 o'clock Kelly returned with low
ering brow. Il wish you'd been there,
lad. They're afraid of Munro and vot-
ed me down. We are 10 do nothin'.''
Raymond, submerged in the rising
flood of his anxiety, looked at his part

"How do they keep going"
''The strikers fear them, and, besides,

Raymond was standing at the Kellys'
door as they drove up, his face somber,
his eyes clouded. He could not speak,
so deeply was he moved. but with
nod at Braide and without a word
threw back the robes and reached a
hand to help her. How is he?" she
asked, with Il catching of the breath.

She suddenly reused herself and hur-

came to meet her with arms opened
wide, her sweet face pale with pity.

Ann went to her for an instant, then

Raymond, and as he took last look

Brown called another man out Of the
