''Take them, then. You'll see that jealousy hasn't spoiled my appetite"
 A bottle shaped figure appeared iI the window, and she had no time to take the plate and cup which were be- ing pushed through the palm leaves. She whispered syllable of warning. and the dishes were hurriedly with drawn as Norbert Flitcroft, wearing a solemn expression of injury, came out upon the veranda.
 He halted suddenly. What's that?" he asked, with suspicion.
 Nothing" answered Ariel sharply. 'Where?'
 "Behind those palms"
 Probably your own shadow" she laughed; ''or it might have been q draft moving the leaves"
 He did not seem satisfied. but stared hard at the spot where the dishes. had disappeared. meantime edging back cautiously nearer the window.
 .They want you," he said, after q pause. Some ones come for you"
 .'Oh, is grandfather waiting?" She rose, at the same time letting her handkerchief fall She stopped to pick 1t up with her face away from Nor bert and toward the palms, whisper ing tremulously, but with passionate urgency, Please go!' Tt isn't your grandfather that has come for you," said the fat one slow ly. Tt IS old Eskew Arp. Some things happened" She looked at him for moment, beginning to tremble violently, her eyes growing wide with fright.
 "Is my grandfather he sick?"
 You better go and see. Old Eskew's waiting in the hall. He'll tell you"
 She was by him and through the window instantly. Norbert did not follow her; he remained for several moments looking earnestly at the palms; then he stepped through the window and beckoned to youth who was lounging in the doorway across the room.
 There's somebody hiding behind those plants,' he whispered when his friend reached him. "Go and tell Judge Pike to send some of the nig- gers to watch outside the porch, so that he doesn't get away. Then tell him to get his revolver and come here"
 Meanwhile Ariel had found Mir. Arp waiting in the hall talking in a low voice to Mrs. Pike. "Your grandfather's all right" he told the frightened girl quickly. He sent me for you, that's all. Just hurry and get your things"
 She was with him again in a mo- ment and, seizing the old mans arm, hurried him down the steps and toward tue street almost at run.
 You're not telling me the truth" she said-'you're not telling me the truth!"
 "Nothing has happened to Roger" panted Mir. Arp. Nothing to mind, l mean. Here! We're going this way, not that" They had come to the gate, and as she turned to the right he pulled her round sharply to the left. We're not going to your house."
 "Where are we going?
 Were going to your Uncle Jonas'."
 "Whyw she cried in supreme aston ishment. "What do you want to take me there for? Don't you know that he's stopped speaking to mel"
 "Yes," said the old man grimly, with something of the look he wore when delivering a ciincher at the National House; he's stopped speaking to ev- erybody."

1T was only few years ago that

were seriously concerned as to how to
get rid of them. In one place where I

with n runway into the water beneath
the wharf Even then we would fill up
the hole quicker than the skins could
be carried away. Some firms used TO

A Bone Library,

Students In one OF the New York hos
pitfalls are preparing TO start bone IL
brary, modelled on one they have in
Paris. From now on by paying SO
year student may take out two bones
at time from any portion Of the hui
man frame.
1T is a good idea, this bone library"
said one of the students. In the past
you had to buy your bones If you want
ed to study them, and they We're eX-
penslve, for the cleaning and bleaching
processes are tedious and costly. Hence
many students of anatomy had 10
bones of their own. AS for the mpor-
tant bones, they We're beyond the reach
of nearly all. A good skull you know,
costs $50 or $40. A good skeleton costs
$75 and more. But with n bone library
every student may work on his osteoo-
gy with the bones right there before
him. In the library you will see one
returning parietal bone and taking
out sternupl, another exchanging Il
radius for an ulna, a third bringing
back tiba and carting off clavicle."

Tho Rich Paw the Book Fines.

Wealthy people are careless says the
public librarian They are slow in re-
turning the books which they havo
taken to read.
Last year Sl,422.79 in fines was paid
at the library. This Is the total Of
sums which ranged from cents to
dollar 1t Is the penalty paid for keep
ing books longer than the prescribed
week or two weeks. The fine is g
cents a day.
Poor persons and persons in mod
crate circumstances are very punctual
in returning books" Mrs. Whitney
said. Very seldom do they keep them
overtime. But the wealthy are not SO
careful. A fine of few cents makes
no difference, and they pay it without
comment.
mot long ago little girl came in the
library and laid 9 cents down before
the cashier Her face was smeared
with licorice, and her hands were
gummy and sticky. She held a half
stick Of 1t closely in her hand.

said
"'Well, 90 take at the little one

me n nickel to buy tandy I'll save 90

George Eliot In Florence,

Commentators Guido Biagi, head OF
the Bibioteca Mediceo-I aurenziana at
Florence, has come upon the very
books that George Eliot studied or
perused when she was in Florence,
whittier she had gone In order to gath

Cured to Signor Biagi that George
Eliot must have gone to the Biblioteca
Nnzionalc Centrale rather than to any
other library in Florence. Knowing
precisely the dates and duration of her
visits, he wrote to the library and
searched the archives for the slips,
then more than fifty years old, upon
which he assumed that George Eliot
had written her application and her
name. Among thousands of slips not
one bore the signature that he was
seeking. Then, guided by sudden In
spiratlon, lie looked under "Lewes."
The surmise was right Whether on
diplomatic grounds or to save his wife
from needless drudgery Lewes had
signed the slips, and thus Signor Biagi
discovered the most important literary
sources Of "Romola"-all, at any rate,
that George Eliot consulted while she
was In Florence.

Parliament.

from the French word "parler," to
speak. The word was originally writ
ten parchment" as in French, and,
although the spelling has gradually
changed, the pronunciation remains the
same. The earliest mention Of the
word parliament" in the English stat

of Westminster in 1872. For the origin
of the Institution itself we must go
back to AngloSaxon times, when 1t
flourished as the witenugemot. In the
reign Of Henry III. parliament was
formally separated into the two houses
of lords and commons, and the delibera-
