AN UMBRELLA
EPISODE.
By Temple Bailey.
!. Copyrighted, 1907, by Homer Sprague.

Luttrell, coming down the steps of
the elevated station, saw ahead of him
4 girl with cherries in her hat.
The cherries and the dark blue rib
BON were really about all that he could
tee of her, for he looked down on the
top of her head, but as she turned the
corner going down he caught a glimpse
Of wavy brown hair and of trim
white collar that came up to meet it.
When he reached the door of exit he
found the girl with the cherries there.
Seen thus at close range she proved to
be about as high as Luttrell's heart.
Her gown was of dark blue like the
ribbons of her hat, and she carried
book in her hand
She was gazing anXiously into the
street. 1t was raining hard, and the
street lamps, lighted early, cast glis-
tening reflections across the wet pave
ment
The girl with the cherries had no
umbrella. AS Luttrell passed her she
unfolded an infinitesimal square of

letter that you wanted to get 5way

John Holmes put his suit case down
on the veranda and took the huge
rocker offered by Miss Penelope's col
ored servant, Aunt Dilsey.

taking in the gorgeous coloring of the
trees and the old fashioned flower gar

He went upstairs to the front bed
room, rather pleased that he would
have for company at supper a pleasing
woman of perhaps thirty instead of
the middle aged farmers wife whom
his Imagination had pictured.
Miss Penelope, giving final touch
to her supper table. with its centerpiece
of brilliant fall blossoms, talked to her

With the birds settling by the dozen
1t is easy enough to capture specimens
for examination without causing in
jury or pain Any sharply barbed hook
is altogether superfuous. The alba
trosses absolutely enjoy the excite
ment, and the sport obtained is not
without a novel interest.

bound thereto. The bait is thrown
astern. and the line is slowly paid out
Presently great albatross swoops
through the air, impelled by curiosity
to investigate the nature of the float
ing pork. 1t settles before the dainty
morsel of food; numbers of birds fol-
low suit, each one made bold by COM
petition, and then the sport begins.
At this moment additional line must
be given in order to compensate for
the progressing of the ship thus en-
aiding a bird to seize the desired food.
With a sudden rush the supreme eff
fort Is made. Once or twice the at
tempt proves Intellectual; but, rendered
bold by greediness, final grab finds
the curved bill securely wedged inside
the apex of the triangle, as the fierce
tugs on the line quickly indicate.
Steadily the haul is made, hand over
hand until a helpless albatross is bodi-
ly lifted on to the poop in an absolute
ly uninjured condition. A slackened
line enables the bird to escape, and if
scattered wits permitted such an eff
fort sudden fight would obtain release.
The other birds invariably commence
to attack wounded comrade, steady
pull being required, even if the line
does cut your hands. to save it from
its friends. Once safely on deck the
mandibles are tied together, for 9TH
erwise the bird throws up an oily
fluid, a disagreeable habit possessed by
all the tribe.
Subject to this precaution it may
wander gravely around to survey the
new horizon of life. The large eyes
gaze with truly pathetic confidence
expressive of anything but fear.

An Ideal Sitter

A Washington artist while sketching
in North Carolina was one day in
search of a suitable background OF
dark pines for a picture he had plan.
ned At last he found the precise stu
alton he was seeking, and, best of all
there CHANGED to be pretty detail in
the figure of an old colored woman in
the foreground.
The artist asked the old woman tc
remain seated until he had sketched
her. She assented with the greatest
good nature, but in few minutes
asked how long the artist would be.
"Oh, only about quarter of an
hour" he answered.
Three minutes or so later the old
darby again inquired-this time with
manifest anxiety-how long the opera
ton of sketching would take.
"Not long" was the reassuring reply
"But why do you ask so anxiously?"

boy who was fond of custard pie.
One day when left alone at home he
got into the pantry and, finding a GUS

hall, he caught the house cat and

Proper Treatment For Burns.

In case of burns death may be due,
first, to asphyXia; second, to shock,
and, third to septicaemia.
The medical man seldom gets to the
case in time to treat the first condi-
ton, the second is essentially a gen
eral condition, while the whole success
in preventing the third depends upon
the immediate local treatment. 1t is
therefore the last condition which must
be considered here. Among the public
it is a generally accepted idea that the
thing to do in the case of auburn is to
dust -four over it or to cover it with

atively late text books on surgery u
