long and thoughtfully that she inquir-

''Then you do care?' asked Wilmer
eargerly "He told me that you said
/ that you no longer cared for me; that
you had asked him to dismiss me-"
"And that was why you stayed
away?" she cried.
Wilmer nodded an assent. Nancy's
pretty lips made a white line where
they were compressed together She
had not a little of the Barlow stub

she said bravely. Il love you, and l

The boat had reached the shore, and,
without pausing to make reply, Will
mer leaped from the bow to the sand
and rushed into the thicket. There
was no word of farewell. Nancy's
liqs quivered in hurt surprise, but her
face blanched as, moment later, Will
mer strolled out of the thicket again
just as the prison boats steamed up
To Nancy's surprise men from the
boats rushed toward Wilmer and be-
gan to talk excitedly However, they
made no effort to seize him, and the
prison guards remained contentedly
In the boat smoking cigarettes and
joking among themselves. Wilmer
detached himself from the group and
came toward Nancy.

HIS CORRECTION.
The American Knew a Little About
Shakespeare and ENGLISH.

II
/ Shakespeare and English.
An English literary man who visited
this country some years ago to lecture
frankly declared that he came not ex-
pecting to find accurate scholarship
among Americans, especially on pure
" literary subjects, adding affably:
You have been too busy and useful
a nation in practical matters to give
much time to the arts and graces of
! learning"
During the dinner at which he made
this remark he criticised Shakespeare,
sharply declaring that his metaphors
often were absurd, 'as, for example,"
he said, Sleep that knits up the raw
eled sleave of care How ridiculous to
to figure sleep as knitting up a torn
sleeve Of a coatp'
a young American sitting near him
said modestly: 81 think the word is
not sleeve, but sleave, the thin fluff OF
a damaged web. 1t is a technical ex-
preston among weavers."
"1n the United States probablyw re-
torted the critic irritabIy. Shakespeare
never could have heard it. He meant
! sleeve"
II believe" persisted the American
gently, "the word is printed sieave in
all the old editions. It is not an Ameri-
can word, but has been used for cen
turtles by weavers in Scotland and the
north Of England"
The visitor frowned and then with
English frankness said, laughing:
'"Thank you. 1 was mistaken. Per-
haps am mistaken about other
things and will be corrected before 1
leave your shores"

Lofty Tibet.

Although the mystery concerning
Tibet has been mostly dissipated as a
result Of the English invasion, the Gu
rious nature of that country continues
to excite great interest. Think of an
Inhabited land covering between 7OO,-
900 and 100000 square miles and bay
ing mean elevation exceeding 16400
feet, which is considerably higher
than Mont Blanc! The loftiest peaks
reach an altitude Of about $4,000 feet,
while the deepest valleys, in the high
er parts of the plateau, do not descend
below 14,400 feet, which is higher
than Pixies peak. Toward the south
the valleys sink lower, and rice and
Fruit are cultivated up to, IL, 800 feet.
Here the most important centers Of
population are found-Lassa, Shigatse
and Gyangtze.-Youth's Companion.

international Hens.

The advantages that people who live
exactly on the line between two coun-
tries have in escaping the customs and
other regulations of both countries
have often been recounted Probably
the most picturesque instance of this
kind of evasion occurred in the town
of Nogales, which lies exactly on the
boundary between Mexico and Arizona.
On the United States side of the line
in this town eggs were at one time
made costly by the revision Of the
tariff schedule pertaining to that prod
gion were chiefly owned on the Next
can side and were fed by the peasants
on cheap Mexican grain.
One year Maine Yankee arrived in
NOgales with an eye to business. He
was convinced that hic opportunity lay
in the high price of eggs. Accordingly
he put up a long henhouse exactly
across the boundary line. At the Mex
lean end he regularly fed his hens with
low priced Mexican grain.
The fowls ate their grain in Mexico
and then walked across the line into
the United States to lay their eggs.
The transaction was, Of course, per-
fectly legitimate, for the proprietor OF
the hennery smuggled neither grain
nor eggs. But he availed himself OF
high prices on one side and low prices
on the other.-New York Tribune.
