Nothing succeeds like audacity with

Then l think a little apparent eccen

the subject, she asked in a tone OF ordl-
nary civility, And when did you re-
turn?"
ooh, I-er-came back this morning,
. replied Mr.. Lynn intentionally.
''Dr. Awdrey has asked frequently at
ter you. l suppose you have not had
time to call upon him."
'No-that is, yes; saw him coming
along"
How very fortunate! Mr.. Keene has
been inquiring about you. OF course, you
have not seen him."
Net knowing how much she knew, he
had to admit the fact that he had seer

ming over with 1t. In my opinion. she
will be the greatest musician that's
ever come out of New England, if not
of these United States.
"Sings like bird, plays the piano,

Most anything that can be playe.' that
girl plays fright OF, as you night
say. Lately she's taken up TIL fiddle
and the cornet, and she's doing fine

''She must be remarkably gifted,

the nature of the song she's got both

TREE-DESTROYING RIVER.

Western Stream that Chevs Up the
Growth Along the Banks.
The ella river enters the Colorado
just west of Yuma, and we crossed its
angry waters through maze of eddies
and whirlpools through which immense
quantities Of driftwood were whirling
in a mad race, says a writer in Rar-
per's Magazine. Escaping the worst Of
the turmoil, we reached the town at
racing speed and made triumphant
landing with half our journey accom-
plished.
At most places along shore the river
had reached the line of older growths
and was leveling the larger trees by
hundreds wherever a bend of the river
directed the force Of the current against
the far shore Trees ten inches In diam
eter and twenty to thirty feet high were
constantly topping into the Unsuitable
river.
The fall Of these larger trees was
always graceful. The first intimation
Of it was a distinct SILVER that ran
through the entire tree, but was most
marked in the upper branches: a mo-
ment later the tree would bend grace
fully forward as II bowling to its
enemy. An instant's pause and it
would sink slowly into the rushing
waters that had reached to the lOosened
and inshore roots.
Tree after tree Of this large growth
would start down the river broadside
to the current. Slowly at first 1t would
roll over and over. tangling it's branches
into great skeleton wheel, rolling fast
er and faster as the branches became
more impacted and presented fewer
projecting points to catch and hold a
moment in the shallower reaches.
Eventually the branches would be worn
off in such progress. leaving only the
tougher roots to retard it, Then the de-
nuded tree would give up the struggle,
and whirling into the line of least re-
sistance. would float head on down
stream until caught by the spreading
roots in some shallow.

in the cemetery Of what was once Mem.
phis, upon the western bank Of the
Nile, writes julius Chambers in the
Brooklyn Eagle. One of the show
places is the remarkable underground
palace that the illustrious Queen II
Of the fifth dynasty Il. e., about 4,5W
years agO) constructed for her final
resting place. 1t consists of great
court 40 by 90 feet, as remember,
and several other apartments, besides
the mummy chamber, which is reached
by a stairway leading down from the
largest room. Upon the walls Of this
tomb are the best preserved pictures
to be found in all Egypt, and among
them are the figures Of two artisans
working upon coverings for the feet.
Therefore, makers of shoes, l salute
you! More than 1900 years before the
art Of printing had practical existence,
although You will admit that the dec
orator Of Queen IT'S tomb was almost
publisher, your art was recognized
