Explained by an Expert.

In a town in Kansas there was at
one time justice of the peace who
was native of the Emerald isle, and
whose blunders occasioned many a
smile to the better educated members
of the community.
A subpoena had been issued from
this Justices court to another Irish
man to attend as witness in a case
where James Robinson was the plain
tiff and Richard Morton let al. were
the defendants.
Hennesey, the desired Witness ap-
peared in court before the trial be-
gan, and during an informal prelim-
mary conversation asked bluntly:

"Well, upon me .sowl, Mike,' ex-

ment, Il must say I'm a bit surprised
that an American citizen an a man
or ordinary intelligence should not

and as staunch as steel to Findlay, he
resolved to let things drift for q while,
and give Mildred time to- choose be-
tween them. He opened the gates of
memory and sauntered back over the
highroad of the past few years. Many
little things which had escaped his at
tention at the time now came back to
him with a new significance.
Mildred had so often thanked him
for flowers he had never sent, and he,
like a culprit, had silently accepted
her ELUSIVE thanks, rather than have
her credit any other man with q
thoughtfulness which was so conspic-
uously left out of his own makeup.
Mildred had often asked him to re-
lease her from some engagement in
order that she might pass the evening
with her tutor. Now that he hap
pened to think of it, he remembered
that she had never once mentioned her
tutors name, but had always referred
to him as "the professor

fervor, and ushering him into tho

But Mildred, I meant to go into
the very heart of nature, away from
all men, and by Solitude and reflection

bilities for making you happy. Mil

Mildred gave little scream of dis
may and leaped to her feet.
'Why, professor, I never dreamed
of such thing. You? you?" and she
sank back in her chair bewildered and
speeches..
Dear little woman, why should it
not be II Will you not let me try?"
and he walked to her side and let his
hand rest upon her bowed head.

thought that you would always be con-
tent to be my friend, and I was so
happy in that thought. Besides, did
you not know? I have been married

Married? You married? Who

did not think that you took any inter-
est in such things, and I did not know
until lately that you and he were old
friends. He could not tell you because
I made him promise not to mention it
until after the ceremony"
Ned Findlay walked across the
room. His face was quite white. He
was too little accustomed to worldly
ways to take anything like this calm
ly. Life to him was serious matter.
He pressed one hand over his heart as
though he were in pain; speech was
for time impossible. At last he came
back to Mildred and, resting bis hand
on her head softly, he said: :
II see! I spent too much time in
dreaming. John is better man than
I. He is the best friend I have on
earth, and if all the light of my life
has gone out to-day in order that his
way may be illuminated, I am content
to walk in total darkness. He will be

Led by an Irresistible impulse he
bent over and reverently kissed Mil

and well-fed. He grasped Findlay's
hand warmly, showed out chair and,
begging him to be seated, asked him
what he had been doing.

air of almost boyish eagerness, IT wish

"You do not know how much it means

affections. Science seemed to be your

the dreamer. "But I found that Sci
ence made poor presiding genius at

They talked on for some time, until
Findlay rose at last to take his leave.
Findlay visited a florist and selected
great bunch of heliotrope and white
jasmine. It was now late in June and
violets were long out of season.
With strangely futtering heart he
hailed cab and was driven to Mil
dreds door. 1t being Monday, and all

put the letter in the drawer with
the gloves that were supposed to be
lost, and wondered whether I should
ever meet Miss Forest in the streets
of this great city of ours.
This same thought was in my mind
as I was walking up from down town,
one afternoon, several days later, and
somehow I was not particularly sur
prised when I looked up and saw her
coming down the street.
A bright flush came into her face as
I turned and joined her. We ex-
changed the usual greetings, and then
she held out small hand which was
encased in one of the gloves I had
bought.
"You can see for yourself what a.
splendid fit they are" she said with
a smile.
l walked half dozen blocks with
her, and then as she was going into
a shop to make some purchases
raised my hat and left her.
She had asked me to come and see
her, and the following Sunday after
noon I availed myself of the invita-
ton. There was something appall-
ingly stiff about the boarding school
parlor in which she received me, but
for all that I enjoyed my call.
Before l left I got Miss Forest to
promise that she would go with me to
a concert during the week. This con-
cert was one of many that we enjoyed
together that winter, for We were
both lovers of music, and-well, read
er, we were married in April, and like
the people in the fairy stories, have
been happy ever since.
Last summer we spent a couple of
weeks at Beachport, and while there
we heard Miss Mason's fiance had
never returned from his European
trip, but had married a rich English
woman whom he had met on the voy-
age over.
Poor thing" said the sympathetic
Mary, to whom had long since con-

her everything on the day when Mary

School of Navigation.

AS a possible stimulus to river cities
in German states, a school Of naviga-
ton has been established at Mannheim
for the purpose Of educating young
men employed on river boats in the
art of navigation and kindred sciences,
says the New York Herald. The term
lasts about eight weeks in winter,
while the Rhine River Is icebound.
Students are staught penmanship, Ian
guage, arithmetic, geography, CONNER
cial law and everything necessary for
them to know regarding shipbuilding
and navigation. They must be 16 years
old and must have worked at least one
year on a river boat. The tuition fee
is nominal, and for boys without means
entirely free. The men generally grad
uate after two winter terms of eight
weeks each, receive a captains patent
from the government after five years
more of practical service, provided they
are at least twenty years old. Steam
ship companies have agreed to give
graduates of the school the preference
over applicants without diploma.

HOW TO JOURNEY TO CHILE.

Trip from New York Takes at Least
Twenty-three Days.
There is no direct passenger service
to Chile or the River Plata from the
United States. Passengers from New
York, for example, wishing to get to
Buenos Ayres, must either take passage
to Rio de Janeiro and there transship
to one of the European lines touching at
that port en- route to the south or they
must cross the Atlantic and transship
in some European port to steamer
sailing to Buenos Ayres, says the New
York Herald
If they wish to go to Chile they may
go via the Isthmus Of Panama, suffer-
ing the inconvenience Of transfer to
the Panama railroad and to one Of the
west coast steamship lines; or they
may 60 to Rio de Janeiro or Monte
video and there transship to a steamer
of the Pacific Steam Navigation Com
pany's line running through the straits
to Valparaiso; or they may 90 to Liv-
