Bayard Young. young gentleman
OF progressing appearance and fash.
ionabIe attire, swinging light cane,
entered the Union station as train
rolled in. He was expecting friend
who did not come. But some one else
came, who proceeded to iisarrange the
precision OF Mr.. Young's neckwear and
otherwise ruiIie his equanimity. a
young lady, plainly but neatly dressed,
descended from car, and her glance
lighting on the gentleman In question,
she rushed toward him, threw her arms
about his neck and covered his face
with kisses.
Now, while young men are not usual
" averse to being kissed, they don't
like to be taken by surprise. Mr..
Young made an effort to disengage
himself from the embrace, at least SO
far as to get look at the kisser. This
surprised the girl and she, too, drew
away. Then color rose to her cheek,
and, covering her face with both hands,
she turned and ran away as fast as she
could. The first thing Mr.. Young did
after her departure was to rearrange
his disordered neckwear. Then he
missed scarfpin with handsome
pearl set in 1t that had been there be-
fore the sudden attack. Rushing after
the girl, he caught her just as she was
leaving the station.
TN trouble you for my scarfpin.
he said.
She looked up, marks Of distress and
confusion still on her face. II mis-
took you for my brother she said.
my scarfpin. Give it to me at once
or win call policeman"
The girls manner changed In a twin

"How dare you. sirle

tcrted.
you certainly must be- Such pco-
pie being your associates. you would
not be expected to know a true lady
when you see one"
At that moment Young saw his pin
hanging head down from a bit of lin
gerie under the lady's throat He
snatched 1t away from her and put II
in hts scarf. She appeared to be very
much astonished, too much astonished
In fact to speak. When she did she
said:
''It must have got caught in the lace

She stamped her foot ana flashed al
him like a tIgress. Then, obeying n
sudden thought. she opened her pocket
book and. taking out card, handed Il
to him. When he had read 1t the as
toslahment was transferred from the
girl TO him.

His Own Idea.


Little Ted Brown was a strenuous
lad and had formed the not unusual
habit of kicking and humping bis play
mates
One day his mother found him not
only kicking and pounding one Of his
friends, but even splitting on him.
She was dumfounded at this and,
taking Ted into the house. said to him:
''Ted, don't know what to make of
you. l think the devil has got into
your head and taught you this kicking
and striking and splitting"
Ted, getting more indignant every
second, looked up at bis mother and
said:
well, the devil may have taught me
the kicking and striking. but this here
splitting is my own dear Lippincott's.

On the morning of Sept 6, 1888, a
young woman in the Longstone light
house, between England and Scotland,
was awakened by shrieks Of agony
rising above the roar Of wind and
wave. A storm Of unwonted fury was
raging, and her parents could not hear
the cries, but telescope showed nine
human beings clinging to the windlass
OF wrecked vessel whose bow was
hanging ON the rocks half mile away.

Darling. the light keeper. "Ah, YES, we

daughter, pleading tearfully with both
father and mother until the former re-
piled: every well, Grace, will let you

whirlwind the little boat was tossed on
the tumultuous sea, and it seemed TO
Grace that she could feel her brain reel
amid the maddening swirl But. borne
on the blast that swept the cruel surge,
the shrieks Of those shipwrecked sail
ors seemed to change her weak sinews
into cords OF steel. Strength hitherto
unsupported came from somewhere,
and the heroic girl pulled one oar In
even time with her father. At length
the nine were safely on board. God

TERRACES.

Terraces may be desirable for two
reasons-to hold a very steep slope
or to afford an architectural base to
a building. 1t is rarely necessary
to make a terrace in lawn. Even
if the lawn is very steep it is better
to make gradual slope than to cut
the area in two with terrace. The
terrace makes a place look smaller,
it Is hard to make and to keep in
order, the grass is difficult to cut
with a lawn-mower, and unless the
sod is very dense, the upper part
tends to wash off with the rains and
the foot to fill in
Nature does not have abrupt banks
unless they are made of rock. If
it is necessary to terrace q lawn to
hold it the terrace would better be
at one side rather than in the middle.
In that case it is possible to obtain a
good breadth of lawn. If the terrace
is at the outer side of the lawn next
the street a perpendicular, masonry
retaining wall may be constructed.
If on the inner side, it may be placed
close to the building and made to
appear as part Of the architecture,
practically the base of the building.
If this is done there should be a
balustrade around the edge of the
terrace, if possible, to give it an arch
itectural air, and the descent from
the terrace to the lawn should be
made by means of steps.
Terraces look best near buildings
with many strong horizontal lines.
They do not lend themselves so we'll
to buildings in the Gothic style
