CHAPTER VIII.

Latterly the doctor had taken to driv-
ing in his buggy, and when Maddy was
strong enough he took her with him one
| day, himself adjusting the shawl which
grandma wrapped around her, and pull
ing little farther on the white sunbon-
net which shaded the sweet, pale face,
where the roses were just beginning to
bloom again. The doctor was very happy
that morning, and so. too, was Maddy,
talking to him upon the theme of which
she never tired, Guy Remington, Jessie,
and Aikenside.
~ suppose Mr.. Guy will be bringing a
wife there some day when he finds one" j"
and leaning back in the buggy Maddy
heaved a little sigh, not at thoughts of
Guy Remington's wife, but because she
began to feel tired, and thus gave vent
to her weariness.
The doctor. however, did not so con-
strue it. For the first time when listen
ing to her as she talked of Guy, keen
throb of pain shot through his heart, a
something as near akin to jealousy as it
was possible for him to feel. But all
unused as he was to the work ngs of love-
he did not at that moment dream Of
such an emotion in connestion with Made
line Clyde.
Yes, Guy will undoubtedly marry"
he began, just as over the top of the easy
hill they were ascending horses heads
were visible, and the Aikenside carriage
appeared in view. There he is now,"
he exclaimed, adding quickly: mo;
there's only lady inside. 1t must be
Agnes"
1t was Agnes driving out alone, for the
sole object of passing place which had
a singular attraction for her, the old red
cottage in Honedale. She recognized the
doctor, and guessed whom he had with
him. Putting up her glass, she scrutin-
lied the little figure bundled up in
shawls while she smiled her sweetest
smile upon the doctor.
"Oh, what handsome lady! Who is
she?" Maddy asked.
That was Jessie's mother. Mrs. Agnes
Remington" the doctor replied. Shell
feel fattered with your compliment"
Il said what | thought. She is hand
some, beautiful. and so young. too Was
that a gold bracelet that flashed so on
her arm? wonder if III ever wear one
like that?'
would you like TOP the doctor asked,
glancing at the small white wrist, around
which the dark calico sleeve was closely
buttoned.
"Y Y-e-s," came hesitatingly from Mad
dy, who had strong passion for jewelry.
Il guess | would, though grandpa classes
all such things with the pomps and vani-
ties which | must renounce when | get
to be good. I've seen only bit of pomp
and vanity, but | must say that | like
what | have seen, and wish to see more.
It's very wicked, | know" she kept on,
as she met the queer expression of the
doctors face; "and | know you think
me so bad. You are a Christian, | sup
pose"

RABBIT DANCERS.
ooooooooooooooOooooooo


A captured rabbit brought an even
ing's amusement to party Of campers
In the Rocky Mountains. In "Nimrod's
Wife" Mrs Grace Seton tells Of secur-
Ing the rabbit in the telescope case"
good sized yalise made Of leatherOid,
which acted as a sounding board to his
drumming.
IF there are any rabbits within
hearing they will come. The little fell
low Is humping for them. It's the rab-
bit way Of calling for help" said MINI
rod. There, did you see that? Keep
quiet, and don't move"
A big rabbit had dashed into the cir
Gle Of the freight. In few minutes
another fitted in. Thump! thump!
could be heard from different parts Of
the forest.
Bobby brought out lighted acety-
lene lantern. The rabbits, startled at
first by the strange light, We're quiet,
also watching. Then one bold chap,
moved by curiosity, hoped cautiously
near; others followed. No harm result
Ing, the first one advanced still nearer
and leaped across the patch of lighted
ground. One, dozen rabbits, big and
little, followed him. Crcling, he came
back again and again, each time nearer
to the queer little sun. What he did
others did, in augmenting numbers, I'M
til we counted twenty playing the game
Of follow the leader.
Hop, hop, hippety-hop, backward and
forth and round went the shadows, a
fairy scene But venturesome Jack
came so close to the lamp in his investi-
cations that he burned his nose and
sprang back.
Instantly every rabbit disappeared
For long we sat quiet, hoping for re-
turn of our entertainers, but the charm
was broken.

FLAT DWELLERS' WAYS.
Watering the Fire Escape Garden

Watering the Fire Escape Garden
-Pipe-SmOiSing Etiuucte.
| "What l don't understand" sain
Mrs. Flatdweller, to New York Sun
man, "ls the way some folks water the
plants they keep on the fire escape.
"Now, you see, we've got few plants
out Of your fire escape, and when l
water them l take care always not to
flood either the pots or the saucers.
There are people living under us, and
it Is not impossible that they might
have out on their fire escape something
drying, or they might have plants there
that they don't want wafer to drip on.
If they have nothing there they don't
want water dripping down from above
anyway, because 1t would spatter from
the fire escape to the windows.
81 have lived under people, nice peo-
pie. too, who seemed to forget entirely
that there was anybody living under
them, and who would simply pour
water on their plants and let 1t run
down In streams to spatter everywhere.
Don't you think it's queer about that?"
"What gets me-" said Mr.. Flatdwell-
er, ''is how a man can sit at an open
window smoking a pipe and when he
gets through smoking knock the ashes
out Of his pipe on the window sill.
''There may be sparks in the pipe as
well as ashes, and both are liable to
be blown into open windows below. I
don't exactly see how men can be so
thoughtless as to dc this, but some men
are So, you see, women are not the only
thoughtless creatures. There are
thoughtless men also.
"But l don't pour water down the
fire escapes" said Mrs. Flatdweller,
land you don't knock ashes out Of the
window"
''True," said Mr.. Flatdweller, grow
Ing philosophical now, "but If we
should consult our neighbors and they
would tell us frankly, dare say that
we should discover that we do, with
out thinking, things that they don't
like. just as they do some things that
don't strike us pleasantly. 1t is SO
much easier for us to see the faults OF
others than it Is for us to realize our
own"

respectfully,
JESSIE AGNES REMINGTON.
"P ST. am going to tuck this in jun.
for fun, right among the buds, where you
must look for it."
This note Maddy read and reread until
she knew it by heart, particularly the
part relating to Guy. Hitherto she had
not particularly liked her name greatly
pre- 'erring that it should have been Eliza
Ann, or Sarah Jane but the knowing
that Guy Remington fancied it made
vast difference and did much toward re-
conciing her. She did not even notice
the clause land the doctor, too" His
attentions and likngs she took as mat
ter of course, so quietly and so con-
stantly had they been given. The day
was very long now which did not bring
him to the cottage; but she missed him
much as she would have missed her broth
er, if she had one, though her pulse al
ways quickened and her cheeks glowed
when she heard him at the gate. The
motive power did not lie deeper than
great friendiness for one who had been
instrumental in saving her life. They had
talked over the matter of her examina-
ton, the doctor blaming himself more
than was necessary for his ignorance as
to what was required of teacher; but
when she asked who was his proxy, he
had again answered, evasively:
a friend from Boston"
And this he did to shield Guy, who he
knew was enshrined in the little maiden's
heart as a paragon of all excellence.

 It is safe to say that one quarter of the stops made by Weimert last night he never even saw the ball. It came against him from all angles and he played in the biggest kind of luck.

That's an outrage You said six dol. lars Six dollars a day" came from the clerk. "Six dollars a day" "six dollars a day," the groom almost shouted. q thought you meant six dollars . week" The clerk simply smiled. Finally the groom paid over the money. Now he said. calming down somewhat. wait a minute. want to go upstairs. Keep that money in your hand" The clerk didn't under. stand. but he decided to humor the man.

 night, in their six-round bout at the Long Acre A. A., West Twenty-ninth street. The men clashed in the stal event of the show, which proved to
 be nothing but an exhibition on the part of both men, neither having the wallop to do any damage.
 Jack Smith and Joe Duffy. two husky lightweights, clashed in the semi-Windup and did the brother act for keeps. Neither man tried to do any damage to each other for the first two rounds, and after being warned by Referee Pollock were turned adrift in the middle of the third round to have their sleep out in the dressing room.
 Todo Maher and Dick Miller, two slugging welterweights, mixed things good and fast for four rounds, com ing together like freight cars and in hicting great damage to each other. Miller did the best work throughout and was entitled to verdict.
 Jim Hall and Irish Paddy boxed four rounds to a draw and were alf in at the close.
 Frankie Sheehan and Paddy Kline came after in four-round pink tea and put up good bout to draw.
 The opening number of the show was stopped in thirty seconds, when Joe Walsh laced Willie Salomoney so hard that the referee took pity on him and sent him to his corner.
 John l.. Sullivan, who is appearinp at Brooklyn theater this week, says that his sparring partner. Kid Cutler, will soon be after some of the heayyweights. Cutler X only 22 years old. but stands feet 1 inch in his stockings, and tips the beam at 206 pounds. He is quick on his feet and has solid punch in either hand. John has been teaching him much about the game in the last year or so.
