hours; | kept drifting near Mariori,'s
house-couldn't help it somehow-and
once, when l was standing near it, hope
less and miserable, a cab drove up and
Marjorie got out alone. / thought some
thing must be wrong as ] knew all her
people were at the ball, so why should
she come back by herself? 1 couldn't
see a girl alone at that time of night,
even if she'd just refused me without
going to see if | could help her. The
eabby might have been drunk or she
might have had no latchkey, or she
might not have been able to wake the
servants. Anyway, went up and spoke
to her
My little Marjorie was very haugh-
ty; said she wondered why / bothered
to speak to her now, since it was too
much trouble even to come near her at
the ball
Il protested, explained it didn't take
me long to explain or her to understand,
bless her. The cab was still waiting to
be paid, SO we just jumped in and drove
back to the Blakes. | suppose The cab
man imagined we were lunatics, but he
must have thought me wealthy lunatic
anyway, when he got his fare.
"She told me then that she had been
so miserable waiting and waiting for
me to speak to her and that she couldn't
stand it any longer, so she took a cab
and slipped off home all alone, poor
little soul.
'sThe last half of the evening was all
right We didn't dance much, but sat
and talked in the garden under the
trees somewhere; I don't exactly know
where it was, except" viciously, that

to have found out about that pierette,

| The mother kissed her son ard said
everything appropriate. He was far
too happy to notice that her tone was
forced and unnatural

mistress had gone mad when he saw her

root, pull it to pieces, and fling it on
the dust heap.

New York city is congratulating her
self on the success Of her high-pressure
water service for fire-fghting. 1t is said
that the system presages the abandon
ment of fire engines. But there is a
fly in the ointment. The Times calls at
tention to the fact that both the East
and North rivers are now diluted sew
age, and declares that the high pressure
system will practically deluge buildings
and stocks with filth. This is proba-
bly, an exaggeration in the interest of
the movement to purify the Hudson
river and other streams of the state by
prohibiting the discharge of sewage into
them

. The escape Of Wilbur Wright from in
jury through an accident similar to the
one which caused fall at Fort Myer,
the death of Lieut. Selfridge and the
serious injury of his brother, was due
only to his presence of mind and skill
in managing the aeroplane. 1t is evil
dent that the element of skill cuts a
large figure in the handling Of the aero
plane in its present stage of develop
ment, and that automatic balancing will
have to be devised before it can be made
a practical flyer.

In purchasing the outclassed steamer
500 City for service on the Atlantic
coast, the marine investors of that sec
ton are paying a compliment to lake
builders. The 500 City is small for
profitable lake service, but she is sea-
worthy, and viii be able to buffet the
aayaS of the Atlantic quite as success
fully as she has the waves of the Great
Lakes. The older craft of the lake serv-
ice are capable Of doing better work on
the seas than the larger trough-like
steel freighters which now carry the
heavy burdens on fresh water.

Fried Celery.

Did you ever eat celery that was
fried? Don't you think Of it only as
raw or stewed? Yet it can be fried and
makes a most palatable side dish.
Stalks of celery are cut into and
4 inch lengths. One egg and a table
spoonful of cold water are beaten to-
gether. The celery stalks are first rolled
IN this and then in fine crumbs.
They are then sprinkled with a little
salt and pepper and again rolled in the
egg and fried in olive oil.
Grated cheese is sifted over the stalks
after taking them from the oil. If you
are in doubt some day as to what 20
serve. try this.-New York Times.

The old schoolship st. Mary's, a relic
of the days of wooden warships, which
has done great service for the boys of
New York city since she was taken from
the naval register, has been burned for her
metal fastenings at Point of Pines, near
Boston, where other war vessels of
old have passed out of existence in a
similar manner. Nowadays obsolete
war vessels are sent to the scrap yard.
They are all metal, and the process of
utilizing it for other purposes involves
hard labor with explosives, wrenches
and cold chisels. Metal scrap is always
valuable. and therefore the ships of the
present represent greater value as junk
than those of the past. The old St.
Marys brought only $1,000 at auction.
