he did it very well. 1t so happened

The Brides Introduction.

They had been married only two

was expected that there would neces-
sarily be a show Of dignity when the
bridegroom and the bride arrived. All
Of the company were there and sitting
around looking their sweetest when the
bridegroom and the bride arrived. A
bride always makes dignity essential.
1t happened that the bridegroom was
the particular friend Of the host. The
latter had never met the bride. She
was coming into an entirely new cir

bride. Everybody in the parlor bris-
tied up. But it wasn't to be a bristling
affair at all. Mr.. Newlywed simply
swept around, caught the host by the
arm and led him before the bride.
"Dave, meet the old lady," he said.

and got acquainted in a hurry. The

Saved by His Wit.

The French author M%artainville
was a royalist and did not hesitate
to attack the French revolution and
its authorities. Presently, Of course,
he was summoned to appear before
the revolutionary tribunal, with the
terrible Fouquier at its head. The rev.
dictionary tribunals at that time did
not hesitate to send everybody to the
guillotine who had ventured to attack
them. Martainville expected to go
with the rest Of the victims. what is
your manner" asked the revolutionary
Judge. "Martainville," said the young
author. "Martainville!" exclaimed the
judge. "You are deceiving US and try

aristocrat. and your name Is De Mar
tainville." "Citizen president" ex-
claimed the young man. 81 am here to

The krakatoa Eruption.

Perhaps the most remarkable vol,
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August. 1888. at the is
land Of Krakatoa, In the strait of
Sunda. Streams Of volcanic dust were
thrown seventeen miles high, and more
than a cubic mile Of material was ex-
PEELED from the volcanic crater. The
air waves started by the eruption trav-
eled around the earth seven times.
The noise vas heard at Macassa, 960
miles away; at Borneo, 1.116 miles dis
tant; in Western Australia, LOO miles
away. and ever at Rodagues, distant
more than $500 miles. The dust and
powdered pumice thrown out Of the
crater made the entire circuit Of the
earth before settling down and were
the cause Of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months New

Do you eat enough of this

The great benefit in health and strength
that always is enjoyed by regular eaters
of good oatmeal is known the world
over. Every year there are more and
more eaters of Quaker Oats, which is
recognized in this country and in Europe
as the one perfect oatmeal.
All the experiments of the govern
ment food experts and the athletic
trainers Of Yale University prove that
cereal eaters are the strongest and
healthiest, and Quaker Oats stands at
the head of the list of cereal foods. 1t is
not only the best food, but it's the cheap
est food on earth. Eat it daily fol-
breakfast.
For city trade Quaker Oats is packed
in the regular size packages, but for
those who are not conveniently near
the store for daily shopping the large
size family package is just the thing.

In his eyes and a determined express
sion about his mouth. How handsome
he looked, How tall and strong he
was. Dorothy caught her breath.
II thought you had gone away" she
managed to say.

the chief engineer. He wanted to talk
tie bigger than anything I've ever UNI
dertaken before. But you didn't think
I'd go without seeing you again. did
you. Dorothy. after sunday night
Il didn't know" murmured Dorothy,
her eyes on the big buckles Of her
colonial slippers.
John Porter seated himself on the
porch rail and looked straight at Dor
Othy's face.
Dorothy" he said, Il know it's the
general opinion that a nan has no
right to ask a girl with Il rich father
to marry him until he can provide for
her the things she has been accus-
toned to having, but it seems to me
that If a girl really cared for n man
she could be happy with him even If
she had to do without some of the
things she'd been used to-"
II wonder" thought Dorothy, If it
can be possible that the hero has mod
ern improvements too"
But she kept her eyes on the big sill
yer buckles, and John Porter contin-
ued speaking WITH deliberate convic-
ton. "And that is why l dare to tell
you that you can afford to give up
some of the things that money can
buy and come and share with me the
things that can't be bought. Will you
come, Dorothy2"
Yes" said Dorothy. meeting his look
squarely at last, Il will come"
Half an hour later they remembered
Dorothy's father.
"He will never allow you to marry
me-" cried John Porter, "a common
builder Of roads,"
"A rising young engineer" corrected
Dorothy. Come on. I'll manage
papa"
Papa" she announced, pushing
aside the portiere with n hand and
drawing her lover after her with the
other, I'm going to marry Mr.. POr-
ter"
Mr.. Allen reused himself from the
depth Of a leather chair where he had
been taking an afternoon nap, started
a little at the sight Of the young man
and looked quizzically at his daughter.
"Your prospects for doing so certain
ly look a little brighter than they have
for the past few days." he remarked.
where have you been keeping your
self, Mr.. Porter? Dorothy and l had
about concluded that you were too
busy doing things to give us any at
tention. But, II Dorothy has made up
her mind to marry you, you may as
well submit first as last. Do you think
you a support her."
mot in the style to which she has
been accustomed" said John Porter.
But she is willing to dispense with
luxuries."
when l married Dorothy's mother"
said Mr.. Allen, 'she had a little mon
ey, which I invested, and after her
death l put the investment in Doro-
thy's name without saying anything to
her about it. It's really surprising
how that little sum has grown. The
income from it is now quite consider
able" He named a sum more than
twice John Porter's salary. Il should
think this, added to your present in
come, might provide for love in a cot
tage'-
With all the modern improve
ments" said Dorothy softly, with shin
ing eyes.
