yellow house at Glen Echo. occasional
sightseers and curious strangers Invade
her solitude, and from time to time
she makes a short trip into the city
herself; but for the most part she
spends long, sunny days In the silent
house overlooking the Potomac.
This house, a roomy one built for a
hospital for sufferers in the Johnstown
flood and afterward given to Miss Bar
ton and moved by her to Glen Echo, is
rather dreary place In winter, al
though 1t Is delightfully."- cool In sum-
mer. A trip down the wide hallway
running through the center Of this

enough to chill the marrow in ones
bones. but the long walk ends In a
warm, sleepy sitting room which Is In
yiting in its comfort. Old-fashioned
cushioned rocking chairs, lounge with
bright-colered Afghans upon 1t, and a
great waterfall Of Wandering Jew In
the window all breathe Of the quaint
home likeness of a quarter century ago.
Miss Barton fits into it like picture
info its frame, and a chat with her
there Is the sort OF experience that
finds one coming away smiling little.
The winter months. when the Vir-
ginia hills opposite her study windows
are forlornly bare, Miss Barton spends
writing and reading. In spite Of her
sO-odd years, she Is still mentally keen
and interested In all the events Of the
day and she keeps up with current
AFFAIRS to an amazing degree. Now and
then articles from her pen are sought

| Fifty years a public singer Is the

world.

In concerts Is devoted to the teaching
Of his art to students In London. He

any other Briton in spreading love

his London debut in 1857, when he
sang off the same score with the great
Julius StOckhauser. His inspiring
barytone at once fascinated the public.
and In both hemispheres he has been
acclaimed as the equal, II not the su-
perior, In some respects to Edouard de
Reszke.
At Pavia, Italy, In the beginning Of
1857, he stepped the boards for the first
time as the doctor In La Traviata.'
He was an impecunious youth then.
and in Milan later he felt the pinch Of
poverty keenly till he met the famous
impresario, Henry F. Chorley who
sent him back to London, when he en-

Manuel Garcia, who recognized his
wonderful talent. Since then he gain

CHAPTER XXVI.

There was nothing to do. Audrey fell
into a sickness that threatened serious
consequences. Jean sent at once for Lord
Glendurwood and Fullerton, and he came
in hot haste from a vain search for Bev-
erley Rochfort. There was nothing to be
done but wait. Audrey had fallen into
a stupor. Her dear mother was buried
without the presence of her beloved child.
For three days and nights Jean sat
beside Audrey's bed, watching and dread
ing for the moment when that fair, frail
face should grow even whittier, the faint
low breathing even fainter. Three long
weary days these were; but If she found
them terrible, how much more so did the
one who had nothing to do put to pace to

hungry eyes fixed always on the low,
square window which hid his darling from

MARK TwAIN's RENTED CAT.
Humorlst Furnishes Something for
Scrlbes to Puzzle Over.

Mark Twain, as is his custom, hides
himself during the summer from the
head hunters, those persons seeking
autographs, photographs, or inter-
Views. This year he selected Tuxedo
Park as his retreat, renting an old
colonial house until the latter part Of
September, when he returned to his
New York home. There, during the
heated days, Mr.. Clemens wandered
about the country byways or spent
the time in various shady hooks In
his grounds.
A visitor who succeeded in discov-
ering his whereabouts found the great
author In his famous suit of white
flannels, seated under tree petting
a kitten.
where did you get it," queried the
friendly intruder.
For moment there was a twinkle
in the aged humorist's eyes; 1t was
succeeded by a solemn look as he re.
piled: II rent 1t from neighbor.
You see, cannot afford cat--not
even young one."
Subsequent inquiry proved at least
the first part Of Mr.. Clemens state.
ment to be true. He had actually
rented the kitten for the summer sea-
son. What does he pay for it? Ne.
body knows what Mark Twain pays
for anything. All the world is inter-
ested only in what Mark Twain is
paid.-The Sunday Magazine,

THE FACULTIES OF JUSTICE.
Blind, Perhaps, But No Reasonable
Proof of Deafness Also.

Judge Harlan, who lives up on the
hill, was a passenger on a Fourteenth
street car the other day and was seat
ed next to couple of clerks who were
deeply interested in some discussion,
which caused one of them to raise his
voice to quite high pitch, says the
Washington Star. This appeared to
make the other man rather cautious,
as he glanced warily around to see
II any one was listening to the talk
Of his friend. At this moment he dis
covered the presence Of the dignifled
justice and turning hastily to his loud
talking comrade, he said: For
heavens sake, lower your voice; you
may have heard that justice Is blind
but that doesn't necessarily mean
that it's deaf ALSO" Whether Judge
Harlan heard the remark it is i'm
possible to state, yet, all the same, a
calm smile fitted over his face at
the conclusion of the young fellows

Worse and Worse.

"The late Admiral Walker" said a
naval officer in Washington, believed
heartily in marriage for sailors. He al.
ways urged sailors to wed. Nautical
bachelors were held up to scorn by
him.
"Strolling With him in New Yorl,
one day we met young ship-broker.
Admiral Walker hailed the young man
delightedly. He clapped him on the
back, wrung his hand and cried:
Congratulations ON your marriage,

octagon, or, indeed, Of almost any
shape.
Serge Is a good material for the COW
ering, but, If thinner fabric only is
available, 1t is as well to line it first
whit thin flannel or even with calico,
or something left over from the family
dressmaking. The narrow ribbons are
arranged in lattice-fashion, as evenly
as possible, across the front of the
holder after 1t has been covered. 1t

the bands are so arranged as to inter-

they meet, brass paper fastener is

In the usual way. AS much trimming
as the worker pleases may be added
in the way of bows or rosettes of rib
bons.
The absence of a sensible pocket in
the skirt of fashionable dress is a
sore grievance with many people.
Rather than be without a pocket, they
would be pleased enough to have a
costume Of less modish cut, but such
a thing Is beyond the powers Of a
good dressmaker, part of whose busi-
ness it is to run with the times and to
make costumes as demanded by the
fashion, whether they are practical or
not. This is apt to press hardly upon
middle-aged and elderly ladies', and
they are obliged to resort to the expe-
dient of attaching pocket to the out
side of their skirts in which to kee,
the various trifles that are in most
frequent use.
The making of such pocket affords
an opportunity for turning to account
about three-quarters of yard of soft
black satin reversible ribbon five
inches and half wide. The pocket
has an inner compartment in which
a small purse may be slowed away,
the handkerchief being carried in the
outer division. Cut off five inches and
half Of the ribbon. Hem it along
each of the cut edges, and lay it on
the main piece of the ribbon, so that
its lower margin is 13 inches and a
half from one end. Stitch it down
along the bottom edge and, for the
present, tack it to the sides of the
foundation ribbon, as we may call it.

for the dolls head to slip through.
The two ends should be fringed out
to the depth of half an inch. The
under part of the pinholder, which
does not show when the whole thing
is hung up, consists of a strip of thick
flannel, both narrower and shorter
than the ribbon. 1t should be either
vandyked at the edges or should be
over-sewn with fancy buttonholing.
The dolls head is slipped first
through the hole in the flannel, then in
the opening in the ribbon. Take three
yards of three-eighths of an inch white
satin ribbon and cut the length in
three. Tie one piece round the dolls
waist to make sash, arranging part
OF this as loop by which the holder
can be hung up. Sew the other two

in use it is firm enough to stand up
right upon a table. This adds greatly
to it's general convenience.
To make the bag, fold nine inches
Of the ribbon over at each end towards
the center. Take needle threaded
with silk to match the edge color and
sew the sides of the ribbons together
for distance of six inches and half,
starting from the fold at each end.
There will, of course, be four seams
in all. These make the two divisions
of our double bag. The few inches of
