YOUR sympathy would do for her
he would have added, what they have
done for me-" but something in her
manner made him pause. and then
they drifted on to talk Of other things.
but there was n subtle change In her
manner which Archer's quick sen
sitiveness did not fail to note, and
much earlier than usual he rose to go.
She held out her hand with her usual
graciousness at parting, and when
Archer had reached the hall he re-
membered that after all he had failed
to give her the address of the young
grower Of violets.
As he reentered the room, he stood
for a moment in the doorway waiting
for Helen to turn her head, and think
ing to surprise her as she had done
earlier in the evening And then Miss
Van Nostrand did strange thing; she
was standing where he had left her be-
fore the mantel, and presently she un.
pinned the yiolets from her dress, held
them Cor moment in her hand as

she laid the flowers deliberately on
the glowing Goals. And then she
turned and saw Archer watching her
In astouished silence; with little cry
she nstinctively clasped her hands
over the place where the flowers had
been fastened on her dress. A great
wave of color had swept all over her
face, but Archer was very pale as his
quick glance travelled from the little
clasped hands to the flowers smoul.

close to her and tried to read her
eyes, yelled beneath impenetrabls lids.
Helen" he said hoarsely, you do not
care for the vlolets--is it-because |
sent them that you scorn them thus?"
And then, as she did not reply, he
went on, Il knew you did not care for
me-" he said, but oh. Helen 1t Is
cruel to learn 1t In this way"
She could not endure the agonlzed
entreaty of his voice, and she raised
her eyes, full OF penitence. whose
full meaning he did not dare to I'M
| derstand.
"Oh, Ferris" she faltered. Can you
not see? thought you loved her
your flower girl-and So"
But she did not finish her sentence.
Archer had seized both her hands and
was laughing in a perfect delirium of
JOY. You thought | loved Amy!" he
cried. "Oh, Helen. how could you be

you she is going to he married to Mr.

And Helen threw back her head
with happy little laugh. 'svioletn

WILD TRIBE OF POETS.
Picturesque People That Are Found In
the Philippines.

Among the wild tribes to be found
IN the Philippines are the Bogobos,
the most picturesque people in the
tropics. Their origin is unknown,
and all sorts OF opinions have been
expressed concerning them. One tale
told of them is that their first ances-
tors were all poets and musicians.
and that the dislike for the practical
which is always noticeable among
them has come down through the gen.
erations.
Those that have taught among the
Bogobos say that given a song or
q poem to learn and they will study
and dream over 1t for hours, but give
the Bogobo n problem in arithmetic
and he Immediately becomes Ill and
wants to go home.
