DESTINY IN A BARREL OF ApYEC

of herself. one of the mementOeS OF
the summer and a modernized country
lad who had utilized his camera for her
pleasure. Then she wrote on a dainty
sheet Of note paper:
II wonder who you are, you who are
opening this barrel of ~rosy-cheeked APP
pies and finding this note and this
photograph of mt perched up in the
branches Of the old tree the apples
came from. Won't you please write
and tell me who you are? I'm dying
of curiosity to know. Yours sincere
ly."
To this missive she signed a ficti-
tious name, giving the number of the
box in the village p~ostoffice that she
had rented for her s~ojourn in the coun-
try. She resumed the packing of the
barrel she had left so suddenly, and
when she was unobserved deity pulled
the envelope from her belt and buried
1t among the r~Osy-cheeked fruit.
The apples were shipped the very
next day. That was Oct. 5. On riding
into town Nov. 20, she found in her
mail box a letter addressed to the fic-
t1tious person whose name she had
placed in the apple barrel. The en-
velope' bore a British stamp and the
postmark Of a town in England.
Archibald Pole Wrensfordsley," she
read from the Enthusiastically British
scrawl. Then she looked for the ad-
dress. 'Waggoner's Wells, Surrey, En-
gland, November the eleventh"
Well, il her apples had not gone to
Australia they had at least fallen into
English hands in the land from which
her ancestors had sprung.
Then she read the letter. The writer
admitted having found her funny little
note and the presentment Of her lovely
self among the apples he had pur-
chased. He was deeply interested in
both, he declared. The snapshot was
altogether too small. Would she please
send him a larger and more truthful
one? And just as an earnest of mis-
own good faith, here was one of him.
self. He assured her that he would
a~nxiously await her reply.
Ivy sent the photograph, and told
that she was not a farmers daughter,
but an adventurous maid with a Chi
cago education in matters of the heart.
She gave him likewise her real name
and her home address, and tried to on

For all his haste, his British train.
ing In the cOnventionalities stood him
in good stead, and he had provided
himself with a letter of introduction
to the British consul in Chicago. 1t
was from his uncle, a baronet. By CO.
incidence it happened that the consul
had known Ivy's father, then dead, 50
the very unconventional transatlantic
adventure of this very conventional
young English squire was greatly facil-
itated. He called upon the widowed
mother of Ivy Chudleigh, and with
quite un-British impetuosity begged the
privilege of paying his addresses to her
daughter.
Like a young LOchinvar from the
East, instead Of the West, he wooed
her, and to such good intent and result
that the particular set in which viva
cious Miss Ivy had reigned as a belle
lost her from its functions, and before
it really had time to figure out what
was going on the invitations to the
wedding were out.
Farmer Crane sent a barrel OF ap-
pies as a wedding gift. Mr.. and Mrs
Pole-Wrensfordsley are now making a
tour of the world, for he is a wel!-to-
do young squire, and not a fortune
hunter. Eventually they plan to sette

but of Australian parentage, found it
necessary to 60 to a farm near Lin
denwood, ILL.,, to overcome the abnor-
NAL effect Of a too strenuous social ex-
istence on high-strung nerves, she at
first took kindly to the idea. A few
days on the farm of "Apple" Crane
dispelled, however, the book-bought the
DRY that the simple life is Utopian.
Miss Chudleigh began to pine for the
excitement of the electric-lighted
streets.
The means Miss Chudleigh adopted
as a surcease of ennui was characte..

in many small towns and in the cities, but the old sys-
TEN has changed it's characteristics and lost a measure
of it's influence. In its place, however, has risen some
thing which may be even more impOrtant-the free
lecture courses maintained by many Of the larger munich
palities, such as New York, Chicago and Boston.
The old lyceum lecture dealt frequently with philo-
sophical subjects. and was usually delivered by some
one of wide reputation. An admission fee was charged,
and the illustrations, if there were any, and that was
not often, were produced by the magic lantern. The
patrons were drawn mainly from the cultivated and
well-tOdO.
The modern municipal lectures are free, and are
usually delivered in the public schoolhouses. The audi
ences are composed largely of persons who cannot afford
to pay much for the instruction and entertainment they
receive, but who eagerly embrace the opportunity for
mental culture. The subjects of the lectures cover an
immense range. The courses are frequently diversified
by evenings which are given to music or other whole
some entertainment. They enjoy the great advantage
of the stereopticon and the vitascope, and enlist the
services of many eminent specialists. Their purpose is

moped about the house now. Hearts
don't break nowadays; but when young
ladies dispose of their affections injudi-
ciously. the Intervention of the authorities
is wont to be followed by a short inter
val of sorrow and sadness.
Harold Denison, Upon hearing his
daughters decision, made a mighty gulp
and, swallowing as much pride as might
have set up two or three county families,
penned a letter to lawyer Pearman.
It was an awkward epistle to compose,
but the squire showed himself quite equal
to the occasion. The sum of it was this
He first apologized. in a naughty manner,
for what he was pleased to term his curt
ness at their last interview. In the en-
numbered state of his property he had
thought it but right to lay the proposal
before Miss Denison, who, it appeared,
took a different and perhaps more sensi-
BILE view of it thai she had done in the
first instance. He should, therefore. be
happy to welcome the visits of Mr.. Pear
man, junior, to Glinn.

he commended, falls short of proper discipline ana turns
ont uniformed hoodlums who leave the classroom to add
to juvenile crime.
There is perhaps some truth In this, but how does Dr.
Hall propose to remedy the preponderance of women
in such a poorly paid profession as school teaching!
Poor textbooks, and the very short average OF lol
school days to each year can hardly be expected to
exert very great influence toward character formation
on the pupil. Added to that the fact that the girl who
takes up school teaching regards it as a temporary
occupation, to be set aside for matrimony, and the ele'
ment of influence is decidedly lacking.
DR.. Hall NAV be quite right when he condemns too
much attention to manners and not enough to morals,
but there is just one trouble with experimental psychol-
ogy-it always points out plenty of faults, but 1t IS
mighty slow at finding remedies.-Chicago journal.

Many of the diseases of childhood are responsible for

For instance, children may suffer from neuralgia, the
