One of the most impressive of the
ceremonies prescribed In the chapter
on "Honors and Distinctions Of the
United States navy regulations is that
to be followed when a vessel Of the
navy, on it's way up or down the Pc
tomac river, passes Washington's tomb
at Mount Vernon. Unfortunately the
observance of this ceremonial is limit
ed to smaller ships, as for such only
is the Potomac at this point navigable.
The smaller cruisers and gunboats that
occasionally visit Washington for pres
idential Inauguration or similar events
observe the ceremonial so strictly that
it would seem through infrequent Oc-
currence it gains in interest. When
any naval vessel approaches Mount
Vernon the marine guard and the band
are paraded, the ships bell is tolled
and the colors half masted. When OPP
posite Washington's tomb the bugles
sound ''taps." the marine guard pre-
sents arms, and all officers and men
stand at attention and salute.-Hai-

"You did," she admitted, "and for
that shall tell you what the fire was.
1t was combination Of fashlight and
red fire. 1t was Teddy trying an ex-

"As usual" retorted Amy, Just as

"The ice is Free" was the ambiguous
reply. 81 hate to put on my own
skates"
'T'n get my skates and be at the
lake by the time you are" was the
joyful response as Harvey went rush
ing down the hill again.
For a moment Amy leaned against
the fence and watched the hurrying
figure. She was very fond of Harvey
in spite of his impetuosity, and smile
played about her lips as she slowly
made her way toward the lake.
Harvey was already there, skating
up and down impatiently, and as she
came down the bank he knelt to adj
just her skates.
Pm sorry that l was such a fool
this afternoon" he said humbly as he
tugged at the straps.
"Tm sorry you were, too," was the
uncompromisingly reply.
"If you had been burned to death, !"
he went on with a shudder, 81 never
should forgive myself. It's taught me
a lesson"
'I'm glad it has," said Amy. Then
something in his utter humility of
speech and attitude touched her.
Twill you keep a secret if l tell your"
she demanded. Harvey nodded.
81 was coming to ask you If you
wanted to go skating when l met you"
confessed Amy.
Harvey looked up, hope Illuminating
his face. The red lips were very near
his own, SO forgiveness was sealed
with kiss.

Most Popular of Pictures.


The best known picture in the world,
1t has been said, is Vandyke's portrait
Of James II. of England as an infant,
popularity known as Baby Stuart. Two
million copies Of it are said to be In
American homes, and it is equally
popular In England and continental Eu-
rope. This is not because it is por-
trait Of a child who became. king, but
because 1t Is mastery piece of In
FAINT portraiture. The plump, round
cheeks and tiny nose, surmounted by
a tight fitting cap, appeal to every low
err Of children. The figure with which
the world is familiar is the central one
in a group of the eldest three children
of Charles l. painted in 1885, when

Duke Of York, was only two years old

The Frank Critic.

when Sir John Millais was engaged
in painting his Chill October among
the rushes on the banks of the Tay,
near PERTH said an English artist, "a
railway porter from the station at Kin
fauns used to carry the canvas back
and forth for him.
1.-The porter was a quaint chap. His
services were called for many days in
requisition. He became quite friendly
with Sir John and seemed to take a
hearty interest in the progress Of the
painting.
s'Well, Chill October was eventually
finished and sold a little while after
ward for a thousand pounds. This fact
somehow reached the porter's ears. He
met Sir Johns brother-in-law at Kin

Cairo Named For a Crow.

Cairo received its name from the &C
cidental settling of crow upon GER
tain string. The naming of the place
dates from the year $50, when Goher

prepared to found new city there.
"The architect, having made arrange
ments for laying the first stone of the
new wall, waited for the fortunate
moment, which was to be shown by
the astrologers pulling cord extend
ing to a considerable distance from the
spot A certain crow, however, who
had not been taken into the council of
the wise men, perched upon the cord,
which was shaken by his weight, and
the architect, supposing that the APP
pointed signal had been given, COM
menced his work accordingly. From
this unlucky omen and the vexation
felt. by those concerned the epithet Of
Kahira the vexatious or unlucky) was
added to the name of the city, Masr

Rhoda did not share his mirth. Hor-
ace Hartsell, her father, was stub
born man, not easily moved from de-
cision. When she was seventeen, he
had declared that Rhoda was far too
young to marry, and to that deciara-

now twenty-five.

Long before an interest had really
developed into love other eligible
young men had been scared OF, but
with Richard Rand these tactics were
unavailing. He loved Rhoda, and he
was as determined to win her as was
her father that she should not be won.
Mr.. Hartsell had exhausted all of
his customary expedients long since,
and for the first time a young man had

her consent to marriage.

Under the winter moon the snow
cleaned as brilliantly as if some giant
hand had sprinkled powdered dia-
monds upon the smooth, white crust.
Here and there gaunt, naked trees
spread black shadows, and the lines of
fence blocked the glittering expanse
into regular squares.
But the beauty of perfect night was
lost ON Harvey Grantley as he stood in
the library window peering through
the frosted glass.
Harvey saw only the big house on
the hill, with its lights cleaning
through the great windows. The own

She ToId Him a lie.

He had been dining well, but not too
wisely, and the next morning his con-
science as well as his head smote him
pretty considerably. Yet he managed
to struggle down to breakfast and to
make an attempt to toy with the dainty
and tempting dishes which his dear lit
tie wife had thoughtfully provided.
"Cecil," said his better half gently

ors to do justice to the matutinal re-

He took from his hand an envelope
with a blue figure in the corner, a
mark of a well known magazine. He
entered Rhoda's study, waving it over
his head, yelling, Where now is your

She reached for the letter, which he
held beyond her reach. He leased her
for awhile and then gave it to her.
Her story was accepted. The envel-
ope contained a generous check
"Now, Miss Rhoda, now what have
you to say?"
'Pooh" That's only one in four
months"
"Well, it's one, and you said you

Rhoda laughed.

make a nice wife, wouldn't you? You
have poured tea for me for FIVE years
and you can't remember now how
many Jumps l take. Woe is me!' But
there was a naughty twinkle in his
eye.
During the rest Of the year Rhoda
did not sell another story, whether it
was really because it was the thir-
teenth year of her writing, who could
tell?
| When the year ended, she tried
again. The first did not sell either
Jack said, you must go to pastures
new"
He had to go to Europe on business,
and he meant to take Rhoda along. He
teased her to marry him.
"Rhoda, dear, love you SO. and
have waited five years."
"Well, wait seven, like Jacob"
"And then get Leah-no, stree; I'll
wait not another day." he said stern

1t was pale Rhoda who was clasp

had become to her-that afternoon,

Jack told her he was going to Eu-

ried soon, and then as she consented
the little goose's superstition crept in
again. I'VE will be married on We'd

"Why on a Wednesday, dear?"
"Jack, dear, don't you know the
rhyme?
Monday for wealth.
Tuesday for health,

So they were married on Wednes-
