is going to be uncomfortaably warm
after awhile"
Kitty laughed-but with almost too
much enthusiasm for it to be genu-
inc. II don't mind that" she re-
turned, with her head in the air. "In
fact, II like it," She gave her
minutest attention to the rearrange-
ment of a refractory lock, as Roches-

beach,
Several minutes passed in dead
silence. When she trusted herself to
look up again, he was coming toward
her rapidly. There's an awful storm

Kitty rose quickly, and together
they plowed through the heavy white
sand in what seemed hopeless quest
for shelter. But finally they came in
sight of a dilapidated old structure
the property of quondam campers
and were soon established under its
rickety but friendly roof.
Il hope this delay is not going to
cause you too much inconvenience"
observed Kitty, the first to speak.
1T will probably interfere with an
important engagement" answered
Rochester, with a little inward smile.
Kitty turned inquiring eyes upon
him.
She felt her heart start painfully.
Marie Kensington! Surely that was
the name of the girl with whom gos-
sip had tried to connect his-Billy's
name since-since-well, since she
no longer had a right to think OF
him.
WAS it so very important?~ she
asked in a colorless tone that tried
vainly to be casual.
"All engagements are, more or less,
are they not?" He gave her a pointed
glance.
But Kitty did not see it. Her eyes
were down now, to hide the pain and
shadow that she could no longer con.
ceal, and her cheeks were whittier than
he had ever seen them.
For half an hour they sat in ST.
lence. 1t was now past three o'clock.
The storm had at last worn itself out,
and desultory patches of blue showed
through the hurrying clouds.
Rochester rose and walked out into

he observed. taking sweeping in
ventory of the outlook.
Kitty rose quickly and made ready
for the walk. The air outside was
crisp and stimulating after the rain
fall, and they walked half a mile
without fatigue. But presently Kitty
began to feel her feet grow heavy,
and a pitiful little droop showed It
self about the corners of her mouth.
But she held her head stubbornly
averted, resolved that Billy should not
detect her weakness.
Another Is minutes, and the skin
doomed gratefully into view. Kitty
took her seat demurely, and Rochester
sprang into the one opposite.
An hour passed.
Again the stars blinked out, one by
one, and the moon rose round and
clear and golden. The mellow dip of
the oars was the only sound that
broke the stiffness. After awhile,
Rochester spoke.

ly under it's veneer of calmness.
Kitty did not reply at once. Her
gaze was fixed, distantly, on the gleam-
ing blue sheet of water, across which
the lights we're beginning to flicker
dimly.
do you remember what day this
is--what day It was to have been,
dear?" He bent toward her till his
warm breath brought the crimson into
her cheeks.
Kitty glanced up and met his eyes.
Her own bore look he could not al
together fathom.
"Of what were you thinking, them"
he asked, almost sharply, shadow
deepening suddenly in his eyes.
Kitty gave "A soft little laugh that

rush of water against the sides of

said in low voice. for you, Billy"

WARNING IN SHOE SOLE.
Lookout Man Wears Copper Plate to
Start Electric Buzzer.

Some Of the dives about town that
are under the ban of the police have
ingenious contrivances for warning
occupants and patrons of the ap-
proach of a bull" or any other sus-
pected person. BY the way, these
places are never referred to in the
vernacular as dives or Joints" for
the vocabulary of the inventors of
slang changes as quickly as a word
comes into general use. so a suspected
place is now always referred to as a
dump"
Warning of the approach of police
man or detective is given by means of
an electric buzzer. Formerly the push
button connected with the buzzer was
concealed under the edge of the bar
in front of or behind water pipe.
This device, however, was discovered
by the police, who thereafter. on en-
tering a suspected place kept a close
watch on the barkeeper and gave him
no chance to press the button.
Then came the prong device. This
consisted of two small metal prongs
projecting from the edge of the wall.
When a man suspected to be limb of
the law entered the door the barkeep-
er carelessly placed a coin across the
two prongs, thus making a circuit and
causing the buzzer to sound in the
rear.
This device was discovered, too, so
now lookout is stationed outside the
door of a dive. He apparently is a
lounger but he scans closely by a
quick glance the face of every person
who enters. If a man doesn't look
"all right" the lookout presses his
foot, which has copper plate nailed
to the sole, to another small plate af-
fixed to the surface of cellar door
way outside. This makes the circuit
and causes the buzzer to get busy. so
that by the time the bull" throws
open the door the occupants who are
wanted by the police have had time
to make their escape and those who
remain are seated at tables harmless
" drinking beer or engaged in a
friendly game OF pinochle or whist.
Everything is apparently ION the
level and the bull is forced to
withdraw without having been able to
obtain any evidence.

THE BEST HE COULD GET.
Amateur Gardener Could Not Under.
stand Why Seeds Did Not Sprout.

The woes of the amateur gardener
are very amusing to others, but de-
cidedly real to the man who has
spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his
hands and lost his temper in his eff
forts to make things grow.
A young man, recently married,
early in the spring secured a sub
urban place, mainly with the idea of
fresh homegrown vegetables Every
evening he would hurry through his
supper and rush out to his garden,
where he displayed more energy than
skill. But, alas! When many little
green things began to break the
ground in his neighbors' gardens, his
own remained as bare as the Sahara.
"It certainly has got me beat" he
confided to friend at his Office one
day. 81 can't understand why not a
blessed thing has come up. l planted

Perhaps the seed were reflective"

gardener replied, tor ! got the very

"soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed,

Our life is but a soap bubble hang
ing from a reed; it is formed, expands
to its full size, clothes itself with the
loveliest colors of the prism, and even
gravitation but soon the black speck
appears in it and the globe of emerald
and gold vanishes into space, leaving
behind 1t nothing but a simple drop
of turbid water. All the poets have
made this comparison. it is so strik-
ing and so true. To appear, to shine,
to disappear; to be born, to suffer and
to die; is it not the whole sum of
life, for butterfly, for nation. for a

MADE A NEW FASHION.
Good Joke Played In Old Days on
Would-2e Fashionable.

Old Camden, in his Remains" tells
a good story Of trick played by
knight upon would-be fashionable
shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop
purged John brakes, the shoemaker
of Norwich in the time of King Henry
VIII, of the proud humor which our
people have to be of the gentlemen's
cut. This knight bought as much fine
French tawny cloth as should make
him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's
TO be made. John brakes, shoe
maker, coming to this tailor's and see
ing the knights gown cloth lying
there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the
same price and pattern and make it
of the same fashion as the knights.
Not long after the knight, coming in
to the tailor to be measured for his
gown, and perceiving the like cloth
lying there, asked whose 1t was.
John brakes. the shoemaker, who
will have it made of the self-same
fashion that yours is made Of" Then
make mine as full of cuts as the
shears will make it," John brakes
had no time to go for his gown till
Christmas day, when he meant to
wear it. Perceiving the same to be
full of cuts, he began to swear at the
tailor. II have done naught but what
you bid me-" quoth the tailor, "for
as Sir Philip Calthrop's garment is,
even so have l made yours" by my
latchet!" quoth John brakes, Il will
never wear gentlemens fashions
again!"-London T. P.'s Weekly.

BELIEVES IN SUN SPOTS.
A Word About Favorite Theory as
to Short Crops.

In the bottom of its heart a good
part of the financial community cher
shes the suspicion that financial
crises, especially when caused or ac-
companied by bad harvests, have
something to do with sun spots"
says the New York Post. The argu-
ment is that these years of intense
solar activity come somewhere near
once in ten years and so do panics;
that sun spots" very probably cause
abnormal seasons on our own planet
and that abnormal seasons cause crop
failures and trouble in the stock ex-
change. Nobody would need to take
this seriously but for the fact that, so
years ago, "a very eminent English
in the theory. Prof. Jevons was so
confident of its applicability that in
1875 he predicted a European panic in
1879, because the "sun-spot" activity
would then be again approaching a
maximum.
But how about the facts? The year
1887 was one of sun-spot maximum
and also a year of commercial panic.
Sun spots were very active in 1871,
1872 and 1873 and we know what hap
pened in the markets. In 1883 a vio-
lent maximum was reached; Europe
had a stock-exchange panic in 1882
and the United States one in 1884.
There was a famous "sun-spot year"
in 1898 and. what is more to the point,
we are still in period of solar activi-
ty and disordered markets.
So far, this is all very well; but let
us be thorough. The panic of 1857
was one of the worst on the list, and
1857 came in a period of sun-spot
minimum. In 1866, when one of the
worst of England's financial crises oc-
CURED, solar activity was at the low
est level in decade A period of
sun-spot minimum began in 1889 and
continued into the Barring year.
1890. Evidently sun spots do not al
ways have the same effect.
Prof. Jevons thought that the effect
was brought about through crop fail.
ures. The astronomers tell us, how
ever, that so far as there is any CORE
spondence, cold years, rains and in
undations appear TO correspond to
those when the sun is quiet; dry and
warm years to epochs of great solar
activity" Now a dry year may ruin
crops as well as a cold year; but as a
matter of record among panic years,
1857 produced an abundant European
harvest, 1873 yielded a bumper crop
in the United States, with 1872 a good
second, and 1884 was a year of un.
paralleled wheat production all over
the world. And what is to be said of
1879 and 1897, when the world raised
bumper crops in the western hemi-
sphere and lost most of the harvest in
the eastern.

THERE is A REASON.
The Medical Times Explains Why
Doctors Oppose Patent Medicines.

The Medical Times for April in a
moment of frankness explains the
whole opposition of physicians to pat
ent" medicines which are taken with
out a prescription, in the following
words:
1--WE will hardly repeat here the
specific statement to the effect that
in one year s62,O00,O0O has been ex.
pended on patent medicines in the
United States. Enough to give every
practitioner in the country yearly
income of $4,000. In the face of such
facts as these, all talk of love of hui
mainly, altruism, self-abnegation and
the like becomes cheap and nauseat.
ing. 1t appears to us that such bun.
combe should give place to homely
common sense"
Reliable authority states that the
gross amount of the patent medi-
cine business is about $4,000 900 in
stead of $62,000,000 but taking the
Medical Times figures as correct they
represent an outlay of considerably
less than 81 per capita for home medi-
cation. The cost of doctors fees ex-
elusive of medicines except such as
are dispensed for the same period,
probably was approximately $230000,-
600. This is reached by allowing an
average income of $4,000 to each of
the $4,000 physicians in the United
States. Even allowing that a gross
business of $50 600 900 is IN he divid.
ed between $4,000 physicians the in
come of each would not be increased
more than $40.

ed only the palest violet shadows,
deepening gradually to a dull drab.
AS she looked, the gray merged swift

blinked out, shedding a CHASTITY light
over the rippleless surface of the bay.
How long she had been drifting,
Kitty could never have told, but when
she reached for her oars one was

with only the barren shore of Santa
Rosa behind her-even supposing she
could be lucky enough to reach that!
There was no landing anywhere in
sight, and Is feet from the beach she
ran aground in the soft white sand.
Mooring her skiff to the solitary post
that stood relic of half a decade ago,
she removed her shoes, and lifting her
skirts from contact with the water,
plunged in.
The moon broke suddenly round and
clear and full, hanging suspended from
the sky like a globe of liquid gold.
Kitty sat down weakly on heaped-up
bank of sand and looked out to sea.
Her lips were trembling helplessly
now and the color was quite gone from
her face.
Would they come or send for her?
1t was very likely not. She had left
word at home not to expect her before
morning, as she had intended staying
the night at a friends house. Some
how, the thought of spending alone
this, of all nights-the one that was
to have been her wedding eve-was
intolerable.
And now! She should not only
spend it alone, but in utter terror and
desolation. For hours she lay there
with wide-open eyes, her heart throb-
bling almost to suffocation, thousand
emotions making tumult in her weary
BRAIN.
But by-and-by the salient breath Of
sea wind stole insidiously into her
nostrils; the moon sank gracefully be-
hind a bank of clouds; her eyes
closed-her lips parted slightly and
she slept.

above her. 1t was broad day, and the
yellow sunlight, falling on her tangled
hair, discovered whole nest of opals
in it.

wonderingly, brushing her hand
across her eyes as though to clear
away a mist.

special feeling of amusement.
