He simply asked me If would 20

too miserable to resist, and we went.
My heart beat heavily as we walked
up the dear old oak avenue, and when
we had mounted the broad steps and
opened the door could not see the
familiar dim old hall because my eyes
were blinded with tears. "Oh, WELL"
thought l, as l stealthlly dried them
away, you're dear old place, but
you're nothing to me now, and I've got
no right to cry about you" But later,
when we went up to the long hall above
and found that some impudent person
had removed our few remaining pieces
of old furniture and had hung new
paintings there over crimson hangings.

THE PICTURES.

My little son, with puzzled, questioning
eyes,
Brought pictures for my wisdom to
make plain,
And slowly voiced his need in childish
wise,
Asking the meaning he had sought in
vain.
And some, by symbol, and by holy sign,
l could translate, and set his face
aglow;
But there were others l could not de-
l knew the meanings, but he could not
know.
My little son fares forth to realms OF
sleep,
While / sometimes unto the depths of
night
See pictures of Gods children sinking
deep
Beyond mems love-beyond their Faith
er's sight.
But still hope that where my faltering
mind
Is filled with pity and with dull de-
spair,
God reads the meaning with purpose
kind,
And does not cease to know, and love
and care.

WELL" whispered Marion to me, "I
guess it doesn't make any difference if
we did have to wear silk gowns that
you washed, turned, mended and made
over. Guess what just heard"
What did you just hear?" Iasked.

edly, Il was standing over by those
ferns minute ago and just round the
corner l heard Mrs. Lewis say to
Claudia Brooks Il don't see how the
Harcourt girls manage to dress so
WE'LL and Claudia-spiteful old thing
said: I think they, ought to be
ashamed; everybody knows they can't
afford it. But just then that grand
looking Mr.. Maxwell came over to them
and it wasn't two minutes before
heard him ask who that striking girl
with the red roses in her hair was.
That was you, Eleanor. Now, aren't
you flattered?"
"Dreadfully," 1 answered. Anything
more?"
| Yes, Indeed" whispered Marion.
''The best of it all was that he asked
right away If you were one of the Har-
courts who had owned the old place up
town, and he asked her-Oh, look!"
Marion's volubility was checked at
this point by the appearance of the al
ready mentioned Mr.. Maxwell with our
hostess on his arm. He was a grave,
handsome man, about 80, l thought,
and after Mrs. Lewis had presented
him he sat down beside me. He had
talked about good many things and
had almost wearied Of my monosylla-
bic replies, fancy, when he finally
brought up Harcourt. and l proceeded
to astonish him by forgetting that we
were strangers, and telling him the
most ridiculous things with character
istic recklessness. l told him how we,

to, avoid passing the dear old place, and
how, when there was no way out Of it,

Here, / suppose, the poor man was
bewildered enough, for l had restrained
myself as long as could and rushed
to the one place where the hateful
crimson did not cover the panels, laid
my head against their friendly support
and burst out crying.
"Oh, why did you bring me here" I
said. Il can't stand everything. I
would rather have this old nlace burn
ed to the ground with only its poor old
chimney left to show where it stood
than than to see it fitted with the most
beautiful things in the world by strang-
ers. Everything care about turns out

l stopped, frozen with horror. What
had said! But Norman Maxwell ---1-
denly put me into the window seat and
sat down beside me. Eleanor, look at
me-" he said. But 1 absolutely couldn't
lift my head, so he put his hand under
my reluctant chin and turned my face

don't you know I've loved you al. ..e
time and that was going away with
the heartache, confident that you did
not care for me? Don't you care just
little more about me than for an or
binary friend?"
"Oh" exclaimed, very much afraid
that my stupidity had forced him into
it. II shouldn't have said-f didn't
mean to-" But he put his arms
around me and then l knew it wasn't
because of what had said.
Well, l was so happy that I cried
and laughed in my own ridiculous fash
ion, and when we went home Marion
says 1t was difficult to tell which beam
ed brightest my eyes or my nose. But
think 1 have wept the last sorry
tears shall ever shed, for the best
man in the world has bought Harcourt
for me and it is to be our home when
we are married.-Boston Post.

him we had been born there, and that
every big room and every dingy panel
brought up a memory that we loved.
And it was not until Marion came for
me to go home that realized that he
had listened to me silently for about
an hour, and that Mrs. Lewis was an
CRY with me for monopolizing the lion
Of the evening. l went home terribly
ashamed, and convinced that, notwith-
standing that he looked very sympa-
thetic, he was probably shocked.
But some days later, after Mr.. Max
well called with Mrs. Lewis and was
so nice, guess he didn't mind after
all. And in the weeks following he
came frequently and we met at several
places. Somehow told that man ev-
erything-I couldn't seem to help It,
He always knew just when to smile,
and l never said a silly thing to cover
up deeper feeling in all those weeks
that l did not see sympathy and un-
derstandlng in his face. Well, 1t was
pleasant time as 1 remember 1t, and
got to thinking good deal about him
and to liking him very much. There
was only one thing to dampen our
pleasure; one day the news came to us
that Mr.. Griffin, who held a mortgage
upon Harcourt, had sold it to strang-
ers, and Marion and l told our~elves
that from that time our claim rpon it
would be only that of any other out
siders, who might look at its dear old
walls and pass it by. AS l say, this
darkened our lives little, but there
were still Mr.. Maxwell's visits to look
forward to, so it was worth while ex-
isting- But one evening, when he call
ed, he said: Miss Eleanor, am going
away tomorrow and want you to do
something for me. Will you?"

voice. Somehow l couldn't for the life

THE AMBER OF sANTo DOMINGO.
Found in Considerable Quantities
Conditions Under Which 1t Occurs.

Found in Considerable Quantftiex-
Conditions Under Which 1t Occurs,
1t is an interesting fact that Santo
Domingo is one of the few places in
the world where amber occurs in any
considerable quantities. AS Is we'll
known, the bulk of the supply used in
the arts comes from the neighmorhood
of Konigsbergs on the Baltic seacoast.
There 1t occurs in the lower oligo-
Gene, and appears to have been depos-
tied originally in glauconitic beds of
ciayey nature, which was afterward
eroded by wave action and the amber
distributed, though much Of 1t Is taken
from beds in which it was originally
entombed.
Amber is simply fossilized rosin, de-
rived apparently from certain confer
GUS trees. The conditions under which
it occurs in Santo Domingo do not an
pear to differ substantially from those
on the Baltic seacoast.
1t Is found near Santiago City. asso-
ciated with Ignite, sandstones and con-
glomerates. These beds probably be-
long to the oligocene formation and are
found containing amber at number Of
places on the north coast, as we'll as ON
both tanks Of the Monte Crlsti range
1t also frequently occurs in the streams
flowing through these BEDS.
The amber Is usually in ovate lumns
ranging from the size Of pea to a

exterior, being covered with kind OF

Four boys left their homes sudden.
ly and clandestinely, with the avowed
purpose of seeking their fortunes in
Nevada. They did not let their par
ents know their destination until two
days after their disappearance, 20" fear
they would be recalled. 1t is presum-
ed that by this time they are tasting
the first fruits of liberty. We wish
them well. 1t is highly proper for old
er and wiser heads to wag dolefully
and predict all sorts Of bad ends" for
boys who run away from home, but
what man Is there of full stature who
can blame them? We all know what
the boyish wanderlust Is and how it
gets into the blood at the springtfme
of year. Many staid old codgers even
to-day look about at the trees and the
meadows and feel the call Of the wild,
and long for the exultation of the open
places. And many and many more
staid old codgers remember in a mist
Of sweet memories times when they
themselves started to run away" and
seek their fortunes in the big wide
world. A little more misty and little
more sweet is the memory Of those fu-
tile enterprises which left the dirty
and penitent boy on his knees with
his head IN his mothers lap sobbing
for the very joy of being home again.
We all know the wanderlust Of boy
hood. 1t Is very natural and very
commendable emotion, for it indicates
spirit and enterprise and ambition to
do great things alone and unafraid. We
have all felt the wanderlust in ma
turer years that called us out into life,
sometimes alone and sometimes in the
companionship Of a loyal friend who
shared our timorous adventures. And
how many are there Of gray-haired
old men in the world to-day who would
not feel that the price of the long strug-
gle was not too dear If they could only
return again along the weary years to
sob for joy at being in the old home
and penitent at mothers knee. Those
boys are all right. They do not now
realize the aching hearts they have
left behind, but the heritage of liberty
Is theirs and they are off to the fish
ing pools, the swimming holes, seeking
whatever adventures may lie in their
paths. Mark Twain understood the
wanderlust when he told us about Tom
Sawyer and Huck Finn. 1t is boyish
nature. If all goes we'll, those boys
will be back again not bit the worse
for their premature contact with the
world Of selfshness and hunger. But
under whatever skies they wander we
sigh for their opportunities. We, old
er grown, still know the fascinations
Of the wanderlust.

Big Ghost Hunt.

The attention of all persons cogni-
zant Of the whereabouts of reputable
and well-connected spooks Is now d.
rected to the American Institute for
Psychical Research, which is shortly
to embark on grand ghost hunt,
which will eclipse any similar expedi-
ton ever attempted. For long time
the American institute has viewed with
feeling akin to disgust the large sums
which are spent annually in abortive
efforts to discover the North Pole, for
explorations in Africa and elsewhere,
for missionary work among the be-
nighted Of foreign lands and for other
purposes which to the officials of the
Institute seemed foolish. They yearn-
cd nightly for opportunity to explore
the realm of the supernatural and to
secure genuine ghosts. Whenever a
yarn about some supernatural vision
HAS been given space in the newspapers,
these gentlemen have groaned in spirit
to think that they had not the money
with which to proceed to the spot and
tree the apparation. At last their
dream has been realized An endow-
ment of $4,000 has been established,
which will provide sufficient money, it
is believed, to run to cover every au-
thentic ghost now prowling about the
United States.-St Louis Post-Dis-
