Handshakes.

Says Sydney Smith: On meeting Il
young lady who had just entered the
garden and shaking hands with her.
II must" said, give you lesson in
shaking hands, see. There Is moth
ing more characteristic than shakes
of the hand ! have classified them.
Lister, when he was here. illustrated
some of them. Ask Mrs. Sydney to
show you his sketches of them when
you go In.
There is the high official-the body
erect and rapid. short shake near the
chin. There is the mortmain-the fiat
hand introduced into your palm and
hardly conscious Of its cOntiguity; the
digital - one finger held out. much
used by the high clergy. There is the
shaken rusticus, where your hand is
seized in an iron grasp, betokening
rude health. warm heart and distance
from the metropolis. but producing a
strong sense of relief on your part
when you find your hand released and
your fingers unbroken.
THE next to this Is the retentive
shake-one which, beginning with
vigor pauses, as 1t were. to take
breath. but without reIinquiShing its
prey. and before you are aware begins
again, till you feel anxious as to the
result and have no shake left in you.
There are other varieties, but this is
enough for one lesson"

Her voice was light, but she gripped
the arms of her chair nervOusly. She
wanted to hear the worst at once. She
wanted to get it over with. Then she
could congratulate him, and he would
go away and leave her alone.
"She's not a mermaid" he answered.

"In your room? Not a cham ber-

Porter laughed. There was a bOyIsh
ring to the laugh that she had never
heard before.

sured gravely. 81 was all alone. 1t

"Or a home of your own like it," she
corrected.
That's it," he explained. "A home
of my own like it instead of my bach
elor apartments. Then all of sudden
| realized great truth, and found
out what | wanted"
He waited for her query. but Eda
was looking out across the green of the
back yards, cleaning with touch Of
silver in the moonlight She did not
| turn her head rs he rose and came to-
ward her chair.

Porter puzzled at the words, but she

air OF person who makes a great dis

For a moment Eda Kirby's heart
stopped beating. but Porter continued

And so l won't be around again. l

He rose heavily to his feet, and Eda
sprang to get his hat, forcing to her
lips the smile that masked but poorly
the quivering of her mouth. For three
years she had loved John Porter. For
nearly that length Of time she had
thought also Hat he loved her.
"GOodby AZ good luck" she said as
he passed through the door. you will
let me know when your quest has sue

"To be sure" he agreed. Take care
of yourself and don't get sick"
He patted the slender hand that still
lay within his own and turned TO the
stairs. Eda watched him past the next
landing and then stepped into the
apartment that had been her home

HoIdinu His Own.

Scattered through the pine clad
mountains Of California live some grlz-
Zly Old miners whose dry wit is often
amusing. After many years absence a
certain gentleman returned to the little
mountain town that had been his
birthplace. The first person he met
was an olI miner who had known him
as Il boy.
"Howdy. TOm?" he said as he shook
hands. "HOw've you been getting

his evenings there when other distrac-
tions did not offer. He was always
certain of finding Eda home and as
regularly in good humor. He could
not know ut what cost she recruited at
times her tagging energy that he might
not see how hard the struggle was for
her.
Now the CHEEKY place seemed dark
and lonesome, and, with sobbing cry,
she threw herself upon the sofa and
gave vent to the grief within her soul.
John Porter had never been demon
strative man, but she had not dreamed
that his calls were merely because he
liked to spend a restful evening in her
homelike apartment.
Now he had gone in search of wife,
and she should lead her life alone.
Long ago the time for making new
friends had passed.
Somehow during the next two weeks
she managed to keep up her work
while always the dull ache was in her
heart and the soft color faded from
her cheeks and the slender hands be-
came more slender Porter had not
written. He never was much of
hand at letter writing, and she did not
even know where he had gone. Then
came the telegram that seemed to
wiring her heart afresh.
Have discovered her" 1t ran. "Will
be home this evening and will call to
tell you about it."
So his quest had been successful.
Eda signed the book and stood staring
after the departing messenger, wonder
ing what impulse had led her to tip
the lad quarter for bringing her bad
news WOmanlike, she seldom tipped,
but some impulse had led her to give
the boy the money, and even in the
first new access Of her grief she had
wondered at her lberaIity.
Late in the afternoon Eda reused
herself to make the little fiat presenta-
BILE. 1t would probably be the last
time that Porter would ever come. She
could not receive calls from an engag-
ed man. She wanted him to remember
the place at its best.
1t was very inviting room that
Porter entered that evening. The Nor
ris chair was drawn close to the win
dow, and his ash tray was beside it on
the taboret The shaded lamp sent
out a soft glow that did not suggest
heat, as did the gas. and Eda in her
daintiest gown sat by the other win
dow. Porter looked about him with
pleasure.
"This seems like home" he sighed,
"only l want bigger place. this is SO
tiny. It's different from a hotel room
even at hotel where you are sup
posed to get the best. They can't make
the rooms seem homeIike."
"Where did you go?" she asked.
"All over" he replied. with laugh.
"Surely you did not expect to find
your ideal on the porch Of the first
place you registered" she suggested.
"What is worth having is worth look
ing for"
Don't know?" he admitted. 'The
trouble is that you don't have to look
hard enough sometimes. Then you are
apt not to see 1t. went to Glenville
