! MAKES CITY GARDEN
MINIATURE YOSEMITE.
California Man Has Scenery Of
Famous Valley Reproduced
Around His Home,

B. Currier, a member of the San
Francisco Fire Department, was so
greatly fascinated with the beauties
of the Yosemite Valley that he has
had the exterior of his house, at No.
1909 Lyon street, decorated with
paintings depicting famous scenes In
the valley.
Currier was unable to visit the
Yosemite as often as he desired, and
therefore adopted the simple ex-
pedient of having the Yosemite
brought to him. He engaged an artist
friend to paint on the front OF his
dwelling the scenes he so much ad-
mired. Now he can take a seat In
his front garden. throw pebble at
the cat and instantly envelop HIM
self in the atmosphere Of mountain
pine and roaring torrent. Others
have to pay hotel bills. guide fees
and railroad fare, but not Currier.
The Yosemite is at his door. He can
imagine himself either at home or
abroad, according to his fancy.
Outside the little garden hedge the
worlds jarring cry may disturb the
hours, the hokey pokey man may tell
community what he Is selling and
small boy may give shrill whistle
to companion six blocks distant, but
Currier heeds not. From his front
garden he can see the faint suggestion
of breeze sighing through the
tall pines, the black oaks and
silver frs standing out in vivid mag
nificence against the background OF
the outside wall. He can see the
summer sun transform into dia-
monds, like natures gems in natures
crown. the splashes of snow on noun.
tain summit, above his kitchen win.
dow. He can view the cascade send
ing up a glorious shower of whitened
water as 1t dashes down between the
embankments of solid rock over the
front door steps. The fleecy clouds
he can enjoy as they sail over the
water butt. Violet haze and purple
shadow he can get by hitching his
chair around to the side of the house.
Currier visited the Yosemite two
years ago, and since then has felt the
call repeatedly. So strongly finally
became the fascination that he had
the scenes painted.

"Well, then" he urged, "wait;
wait and watch him. We may even
Eet to know him. They are differ
bnt from US, these Englishmen, for
bhey can throw aside their work en-
hrely for time, and take it up again
where they dropped it when the mo-
ment comes. He will probably be
doing nothing now for some time,
and then who knows what his next
mission may be? They are a uni
versal people, these, and try many
things; they have no discrimination
In their Judgment of men. Do they
not make statesmen of their generals,
and naval lords of their men of let
ters? Mistley may go into Parlia-
ment, and do nothing more In the
world"

the girl, forebodingly, "he would be

"Well," urged the young man, with
pleading eyes; "but at all events give
him q week or fortnight.
"Then I must leave this forsaken
place and live in London" said the
girl, with determination.

weary ring in her voice, as she laid
her hand on his; 81 will be your sis
ter again"
He raised the cool, lifeless fingers
to his lips, and left her alone in the
-Sened room.

self and partly to her mother, when
the colonel had left the room-I
know I shall be disappointed in him. |"
Mrs. Wright said nothing. She
was standing near the window with
the newspaper in her hand; but she
was looking over 1t into the sunlit
street. She was thinking of the lives
of two women who had married SOL
diers-lives that had not been quite
q success-lives made up of weary
waiting and anxious watching; and
running through these thoughts was
a vague desire that this visit to
Broomhaugh might yet be avoided.

The brightness OF the corona OF
ring Of light encircling the sun was
measured by M. Charles Fabry dur
ing the recent total eclipse. He found
the light of point twentieth of a
degree from the suns edge to be
equivalent to about 720 candle pow
er, or a little more than a fourth Of
the brightness Of the full moon. The
sky near the uneclipsed sun is 1000
times as bright.

CHAPTER vi
An Amateur Villain

To Colonel Wright this home-com-
ing was full of delight and sweet an
ticipation. His life had been broken
up by many wanderings, many cam
paigns, and many separations. All
that was now to be left behind, and
before him lay a prospect of active
leisure, life Of Intellectual ease, OF
pleasure md loving companionship.
He had passed 80 many years In the
East that he brought home with him
an Anglo-Indian freshness and ener-
gy for home pleasure. He was young
enough to be still of an active mind,
and leisure with him by no means
meant ildeness.
That first breakfast was an event
to be remembered. So clean, SO
bright, 80 home-like was everything.
Surely there never was cloth so
white, no silver ever shone 30 brill
liantly as those forks and spoons.
And never had happy father so fair,
so dainty, 30 sweet a daughter to
pour out his coffee, with just little
movement of shyness in the curve Of
her rounded arm.
"Then they are coming this even
ingi" remarked Lena, when they
were seated, looking across the table
toward her father without ceasing
her occupation of filling coffee-pot.
which maneuver successfully directed
the nourishing beverage into the
saucer.
Mrs. Wright noted this result, and
Immediately gazed intently at the
ceiling with marvellous expression
in her face, which distinctly gave
one to understand that she saw the
coffee in the saucer, knew how 1t
came there, and from the entire pro-
ceeding deduced that 1t Is always
we'll to look before one pours.
Yes" replied the colonel. They
are coming this evening, the sailor
being included" .....,
Mother" said Lena, presently,
have you told papa about the invi-
tation to Broomhaugh?"
"Yes; and he Is quite ready to CO."
"Oh, am so glad! Papa, 1t will
be simply lovely. Charlie has told
me all about 1t. 1t is a melancholy
old house, built by some remote Mist
leys, who was a leattle-lifter. or a
, Berderer, or something romantic.
The. Mistleys have lived there ever
.since-in the intervals between their
wanderings Great, bare hills all

trees round the house, which is bleak
and gray, like an old fortress. Below
the house, at the foot of a sort of
cliff, there Is q trout-stream, where
you can fish all day; Charlie knows
every inch of the stream, and talks
very wisely about flies, March
Browns professors, and all sorts of
imposing names. Then we are going
to get up some theatricals; we have
arranged 1t all, and chosen the piece.
Charlie says that his brother acts
splendidly."
"Oh, yes! He can do that" re-
piled the colonel. sapiently wagging
his head. "He is always acting. In
fact, 1t is very hard to say when he Is
and when he is not. I have watched
him listening to long story, which
he knew to be fabrication from
beginning to end, and the child-like
innocence of his expression was per-
feet study. He is the very man for
theatricals; he was always stage
managing something or other, out
In India"
Perhaps he will be too good for
u.s." suggested Lena; "but 1t would
be very nice to have a really good
actor for the principal part, because
