A fad of the season, recommended

the use of pink and blue trimmings

But all the man in him rebelled

evil whisper. Every man must look
out for himself. You'll never be able

Two weeks later a band of Co.'S
sacks made a raid on the little cot
tage down by the river. Four men
were secured.
"Have we the right one?" demand
ed the captain.
Eyes, that is he on your left"
came the answer from the group OF
Cossacks.
The old man knew the voice, and
turned his eyes in blank amazement
upon the man he had rescued two
weeks before. In speechless con-
tempt he stared for some moments,
then he quietly turned and kissed
his wife and little ones goodbye.
And he knew it was for the last time.
I After some weeks there was an
other big batch of criminals being

There had been a great wedding

the Imperial Bodyguard, was the
bridegroom. Because of recent spe-
cial services rendered in the cause of
the fatherland, the Government
thought fit to donate substantial
wedding gift-it consisted of purse
of twenty-five roubles and a pension
for life.

IF you should chance to meet any
day in any of the comfortable quar-
tiers of the town the school children
going home from a public school you
could not fail to be struck by the
number of graceful, pretty girls
among them. To be sure, in such a
company you could always find pretty
children, but l venture to say never
before so many really pretty girls as
now. There are plain children here,

thing could never stand that. See

"The frame is still there, but the
planks will be gone, for the water

well, I'm not going to try to

it live two minutes longer"

Tea Cozics.

The "Old Maid" tea cozies are the

shop in big city. They are built
upon the wire frames which resemble
lamp shade frames, and are bought
for hat rests.

got the water as he neared the cen
ire. Presently his foot dropped into
an opening, but his arm around the
railing saved him. For almost two
rods there was scarcely plank
intact, and he worked slowly forward
on the framework. The water was
rising every moment. He feared
the crash would overtake him, and
he hurried forward. The water was
above his waist. He was within two
rods of the end when he heard a
crash behind, and felt swinging
motion begin He thought OF letting
go the frame and making wild dash,
but he dared not. He struggled on,
his eye ever on the end of the frame
work, which he expected every mo-
ment to break from its fastening on
the shore. The dusk of evening was
quickly settling, and his eyes were
full of spray, but yet he clearly saw
the quivering timbers wrench them
selves free. He let go, and ran wild
ly forward. Already it had left the
shore. He jumped as best he could
in the boisterous waters. He struck
bottom in water which almost
reached to his shoulders. He stag
gered up the bank and reached the
solid ground, only to find himself
utterly exhausted. An icy numb
ness was stealing over him. He saw
light in a cottage some distance
ahead, and shouted wildly. The next
instant he was lying in the mud,
completely unconscious.
When at last his eyes opened he
stared in dazed sort of way at the
ceiling of the rough cottage, and at
the peasants who were bending over
him. In a moment he remembered
and nervously felt for the wallet
which was lying by his side.
tits all right, sir" remarked the
owner of the cottage. I'VE haven't
touched it at all.
The Cossack, thus assured, heaved
sigh of relief, and soon dropped
off to sleep.

the sound of voices in his ears. He
listened without so much as opening
his eyes or moving a muscle.

that dizziness which assails you when
you welk-walk especially in high
places-in an expanse of fallen snow.
Everywhere, at every angle, on
every slant and level. the snow is of
one glaring CLINT. Now we live by
relations. We judge of the distance
of any object from us by the relative
distance of another. All the connec-
lions of our minds with the outer
world are made by sort Of mental
triangulation.
But in an endless field of snow. all
of color. with no object in 1t dis

impossible. We are blind in day

or mountain wanderers, suffer from
this more than all others. Many of
them lose their lives in this snow
blindness. They lose their bearings
and are gone. They even grow dizzy,
confused and fall down unconscious
