CHAPTER II.

Ihave said that when Clifford Mohun
first saw Jane Grand her face was
radiant with the richest beauty of her
youth, and lit up by the tender glory
of a setting summer sun. ought
rather to have said that Jane Grand
thus appeared to Clifford on the first
occasion when he ever looked upon her
with the discerning eyes of the spirit;
for, of course, he had seen her hun
dreds of times before, and during many
years past, with the common and un-
inspired eyes of the flesh.
Miss Grand, may L hope that you
have not forgotten me?'
Jane started guiltily, and blushed up
to the roots Of her hair.
"Mr. Mohun, never saw yOu-indeed
I never thought any one was here but
myself. IL"
And then she broke down.
Clifford thought, first how wonderful
ly beautiful her bushes looked, shin
ing through those clear cheeks and
temples; secondly, that it was beyond
/ all doubt her pleasure at seeing him
that had called them forth.
But you don't shake hands with me,
! Miss Grand You used always to shake
| hands with Ne when you were a little
| girl"

! ungloved hand, and looked up fail into

"And your next-door neighbour" said
! Clifford, quickly. I'VE shall live from
hcncefOrth within half a mile of each

good friends"
Il hope so, Mr.. Mohun," said Jane,
demureiy.

MANNERLY CHICKS.

"Your napkin, dear" reminded
mamma, gently.
Bernice, across the table, lifted her
little bread -and-buttery face, and the
tiniest of scowls Travelled up and
down between her eyes, says The Mes
senger. Napkins were such bother.
81 wish there weren't any," she
murmured, getting down from her
high chair to pick hers up. "They
always drop, an they get all mixed up
when you fold 'em up
when you don't fold 'em up" cor
rected Earl, laughing.
"You couldn't have any teeny, ton
ty, dear napkin ring il there weren't
any napkins" remarked Esther,
wisely.
Bernice turned her dainty, beloved
little ring over and over thouShtfully
in her small hands. ''Then l wish l
was a chicken" she announced very
slowly.
"Oh, chickens use napkins regular
ly every meal"
"Chickens?"
L lie "Oiu Cdl1S Ill tolOu4ShIu ShO
rus from all the children.
"Why, of course. Did you think
they didn't have any manners at all?
l can tell you, Mother Biddy is bring
ing them up better than that. After
dinner you shall see. She teaches
them to use their napkins very care
fully"
"Only just one to 'em all?"
"Ye'es," papa said, little reluct-
antly, "only just one; but then it's
plenty large enough"
The twinkles in papa's eyes were
playing hide-andseek.
Its so large they share it with
their relations, their aunts and cou-
sins and uncles."
"Why, the ideal"
ooh, my, | cont call that havin'
good manners" said Bernice, scorn-
fully.
The children started out with papa
to the chicken yard, but mamma had
to call Bernice back again 10 fold her
napkin. That happened very often.
The chickens meal was nearly over
but they watched them take the last
few dainty pecks.
That's the dessert. They eat it
slow cause they've eaten all their
hungry up" exclaimed Esther.
"Whercs their napkins? | don't
see any" Bernice exclaimed in disap-
pointment.
wait" said papa.
''Now, watch" he said minute
later, as the downy little fellows
finished their last crumbs. They
walked away a few steps, and then
every single one of them wiped his
bill - this-a-way, that-a-way, very
carefully, indeed-on the grass.
oh"
"O-ohn
ooh, my"
"WeIl," Bcrnice added triumphant
ly, they didn't fold it up, papa. -

STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER

STORY OF A KEY AND DISASTER.
You may be interested to hear of
| thing which happened to me in Brit
tany last summer. l had to sign some
railway transfers before the nearesc
British Consul, who was at Prest. l
locked up the papers and railway
stocks in Breton cupboard as hign
as the ceiling and very solid. l kept
the key in my pocket. When my cou-
sin and l were ready to start took
out the key and it would not open its
own cupboard. The servants came in
turn and tried in vain. We had to
miss our train to Quimper, which
was our first stage to Brest. Now
our village blacksmith was very
rough and ready, so the next morn
ing l said 1 would try the key myself
once more, before he perhaps ruined
my lock.
The key fitted perfectly and we
went. But, imagine, we found at the
station great placards posted UP tell
ing of the awful wreck of the Brest
train the day before, and it was the
train in which we should have been
but for the obstinacy of the key. We
,, saw the carriages all fallen into the
river, and the dead and dying were
in the hospital at Quimper. We feel
this to be a preservation wrought
from the next world that is so near.

A Trifling OCCUPATION.

When Charles Dickens was IN
Washington he met one morning Oh
the steps of the Capitol young Con-
gressman from Tennessee, whom the
great novelist had offended by his
bluntness. That morning Dickens
was in great good humor. Il have,
said he, found an almost exact coun'
terpart of Little Nell"
Little Nell who?" queried the Ten
nesseean.
Dickens looked him over from head
to foot and from foot to head before
he answered.: MY Little Nell.
OH" said the Tennesseean, 81
didn't know you had your daughter
with you"
Il am speaking of the Little Nell
of my story, The Old Curiosity Shop,
sir" retorted Dickens, flushing.
"Oh," said the imperturbable Ten
nesseean, you write novels, do you?
Don't you consider that a rather
trifing occupation for a grown-up
man? ?"-Tit-Bits

Taken From His Mouth.

Pat had got hurt-not much more
than a scratch, it is true, but his en-
ployer had visions of being compelled
to keep him for life, and had adopted
the wise course of sending him at
once to the hospital. After the house
surgeon had examined him carefully
he said to the nurse:
LAS subcutaneous abrasion is not
observable l do not think there is any
reason to apprehend tegumental cica-
irritation of the wound
Then, turning to the patient, he
asked, quizzically:
What do you think, Pat?"
"Sure, sir" said Pat, you're a
wonderful thought reader, doctor.
You took the very words out of my
mouth. That's just what l was going
to !"-Current Literature.

CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE BLIZZARD.

CAUGHT IN PRAIRIE BLIZZARD.
"Last Sunday was the twentieth
anniversary of the great blizzard of
1888 in Nebraska and Northwestern
Iowa." said G. D. Riggs the other day.
Il was living in O'Neill, Neb., at the
time and had just left the Office to go
home to dinner when the blizzard
struck
81 started to cross the street to a
drug store, but when 1 reached the
other side 1 found myself half way
down the block from my destination.
"The fine wind driven snow flakes
filled the air so that couldn't see my
hand before me. l finally worked my
way back to the drug store, where
a number of other men had taken
refuge from the storm.
School had just been dismissed for
the noon recess, and we knew that
nearly 800 children were out in the
storm. Securing long ropes the
crowd started out to rescue them.
We found them huddled in doorways
and by the sides of buildings. The
children caught hold of the ropes and
were led to shelter by their rescuers.
whose sense OF direction gradually re.
turned to them. Every one of the
800 school children in the town was
got home in safety.
But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard, and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from
about the freezing point at noon to
twenty degrees below zero that night.
1t was the worst blizzard l ever saw,
and l never want to experience an
other like it."-Des Moines Register
and Leader.

A TRICK WITH NUTS.

Briefly stated the performer hands
to the spectators an ordinary dinner
plate and linen handkerchief. When
they have been examined and re-
turned to him he places the plate on
the table before him and spreads the
handkerchief fat over it. Then, at
word, the handkerchief is lifted, and
sugared almonds, nuts and ralslns
pour out on the plate, producing an
effect that is sure to astonlsh and
please all who witness it.
Here is the way to do the TRICK:
Make a colored muslin bag, exactly
of the shape of the letter A, and large
enough to hold as many nuts and so
forth as you intend to distribute,
turning up a small selvedge at the
bottom. Get two pieces of watch
spring and bend them quite fiat, each
spring to be exactly half the diameter
of the bag. These are put into the
selvedge and sewn up. When the
bag is opened it will close itself by
means of the springs. A long pin is
passed through the top of the bag
and bent into the shape of a hook.
If now the bag be filled with nuts
it may be suspended by the hook, and
the nuts will not fall out because the
springs keep it shut.
When the trick is to be performed
the bag is hung on the side OF the
table that is away from the specta-
tors. The plate is also placed on that
side, and when the handkerchief Is
laid over the plate part of it is lett
to fall over the side of the table.
Then the handkerchief is picked up
with the right hand, the performer
grasping it in the middle, and with it
he grasps the top of the bag, which,
you understand, is hanging at the
side of the table under the handker-
chief. He then, with his left hand,
draws the handkerchief completely
over the bag to conceal it and at the
same time presses the bag with sort
of downward stroke. This pressure
makes the springs fly open, when out
fall the nuts and other good things
into the plate.
The astonishment of the spectators
at this clever feat takes their atten-
ton away from the performer long
enough for him to drop the bag be-
hind the table to the floor, where, of
course, it is out of sight.-Hints.

ON SIGNAL, WATCH

1t is customary for man-of-war to
fire a national salute (twenty-one
guns) whenever she enters a foreign
port. The port acknowledges the sa-
lutte, gun for gun. This time in en-
tering Yeddo Bay we were requested
to waive the salute, probably because
we come so often it is like one of the
family coming home to dinner.
The Emperor's birthday was so
very similar to 365 other festivals an
nually celebrated in Toxic that it is
not worth chronicling. l saw their
royal highnesses, the Emperor and
the Empress-but so have millions OF
others, and the pageant impressed me
less than a little affair of my own

WHEAT AND CLOVER.

I top dress wheat with whatever
manure I have. I cut my fodder with
a gasoline engine and cutter. If any
strawy manure, the spreader tears 1t
to pieces, as it also does long corn
stalk manure. I have top dressed
with grass and weeds in years gone
by and found that anything to shade
the ground will make the clover set;
so top dress the wheat with whatever
you have. If straw is spread on, 1t
will do just as we'll as manure for
getting a set; anything that shades
the ground makes it richer. After
wheat is cut, NOW the stubble so 1t
can fall down and help shade the
young clover. Red clover is the kind
to grow, and is the kind I grow in
wheat; crimson clover in corn.-W.

away stood looking shoreward
through his binoculars as the admir-
ais barge rowed straight for the ship.
At the proper moment he command
ed: "Bugler, call the guard" Then
all the red tape required to get an
admiral aboard was unwound. This
accomplished, Lieutenant Dorm came
at me fairly foaming at the mouth,
What are you doing on that bridge?"
he roared.
81 am on signal watch, sir"
"Then why did you not report the
admiral's launch coming?"
Because you saw it., SIR
"Eecause I saw it! What right
have you to say l saw it,"
Il saw you looking at it through
your glasses, sir.
You don't know that I was look
ing at the admiral's barge; you have
no right even to think what l am
looking at. Your duty was to have
reported to me what you saw coming
toward the ship Failing to do, you
shall answer on Saturday morning. I
put you down for carelessness, DISC
bedience, neglect of duty and inso-
lence"
l swallowed my heart and my rage,
as I have done many time and oft
since 1 have worn this uniform, and,
in fancy, saw myself go down into the
brig for thirty days. The brig means
handouts or ankle irons, a diet of
two hardtacks and a tumbler of water
three times a day, with full rations
every fifth day. l have seen men
come out of the brig looking like the
end of forty days fast in monas-
terry. l have seen men in for three
days wearing double irons. They
looked like pirates. Their crime was
smoking out of hours.
Toreturn to my own case. On Friday
night Lieutenant Dorm sent for me
and gave me akindly talk, winding up
with the promise that he would make
sailor out of me. l was on the
shore list for the next morning, but
for reasons of my own tarried on the
ship. This same officer, noticing me,
asked why 1 was there. 1 answered:
Broke, sir"
He told me to go to his room and
where to find $40, which l was to
take, get ashore as quickly as possi-
