NEGOTIATIONS
BROKEN OFF.

Bargaining for rugs in Turkestan
is always attended with possibilities
of disappointment to the one party or
the other An English traveller in
that country gives the history of one
transaction in which he was con-
cerned.
Between the wood smoke and the
tanning effects of wind and weather,
he says, many of the door-rugs ac-
quire a tone which is not to be
matched by any other process, and we
took them eagerly whenever we could
persuade the wrinkled old women tc
part with them.
First advances were usually made
through the rosy-cheeked, CHEEKY lit
tie children. A present of a few
beads would produce ecstasies of
pleasure; but it was not always that
the children were allowed by their
parents to keep the beads.
I remember one little damsel of six
or eight whose delight was expressed
in every line of her sweet little form
when she first took a string of blue
beads from my hand. Then she
showed the beads to her grandmother,
wizened old bag who was watching
proceedings with fierce eyes from the
darkness of kibitka interior.
do not know what passed between
those two, but the young lady re-
turned with an expression of infan-
tile dignity that stiffened her little
limbs and curled her lip into the fun
NEST affectation of disdain that ever
was seen. She flung the beads down
at my feet with scorn that would
have done justice to an actress.
So far it was exceedingly we'll done,
but she waited just little too long.
A childish look of longing stole into
her eye, and it stayed there and dis
turbed the theatrical pose of her
head; and then large unbidden tear
appeared. I did not wait to see any
more, and I do not know what be-
came of the beads.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Most success is chiefly a comparison
with failure.
The reason so many women believe
in their husbands is nobody else will.
A girl is willing to have you think
she's good; she wants you to say she's
pretty.
The first spare time man gets he
is always going to invent something
wonderful.
A woman generally has an old rose
put away that would be very romantic
if she could remember how it hap
pened.
A man believes in fate so he can
be sure he's never to blame for his
| errors.
The more a girl can flirt with a
man the more she can make him
Ehink he's doing it.
Being able to quote good maxims
seems to satisfy most people they
don't need to practice them.
Some men think they might as we'll
go to church as stay home and read
the funny papers to the children.
One of the queer things about
women is they can keep cool in an
emergency and get excited about it
when it's over.
Next to forgiving people the hard
est thing is to mean it.
We can't see the truth about our
selves; we won't listen to it from
anybody else.
People VINO really have brains are
the only ones willing to admit some
body else has.
A man feels grievance either be-
cause he has nothing worth taxing
or because he has and must pay taxes
on it.
It's queer when women are natural
ly so much honester than men they
can be so much more deceitful.
Nobody understands any one thing
well enough to realize he doesn't I'M
derstand something else better
There's nothing makes man think
how dull life is like going to bed
early, no matter how much he wants
to.

he said. II am Arthur Craig, one of
Johns friends. You will find me
mentioned in the letter"
isn't John all right?" the old man
asked with little tremor in his
voice.
John is perfectly well and happy
at least he would be happy if he
could be here to meet his Uncle
David. But come, Mr.. Rivington, you
might just as well be comfortable
while you are reading Johns letter.
This way, please" He took the old
mans bag from his hand and piloted
him across the station platform to
where his runabout stood. Uncle
David stared at the beautiful car
with its shining trimmings.

been in this town." he said, with a
twinkle in his gray eyes. 81 remem-
Der they ran bus to the hotel in
those early days. This seems to be

Craig laughed as he placed the bag
in the car.
"They are running the same old
bus" he said. But we are not 60

pens to be mine. All aboard, please. -
"Yours!" said the old man. His
kindly gray eyes turned from the
shining car to its owner. do many

A moment later they faced the gray
haired president

peated. He fancied the president had
not caught Uncle David's name.
The president held fast to Uncle
/ David's hand.

Arthur flushed redly as the keen

was puzzled. He realized that in his
eyes he was one of the most trouble

fastened to explain his anomalous no.

Then began a round of wild dis
sipation for the good old man. Trips
in the runabout, strolls through the
college buildings, a baseball game
between the faculty and the college
team, luncheons and dinners and
breakfasts.
1t was on the second day that
Uncle David said to Arthur Craig,
See here, my boy, why should you
take all this trouble for a plain old
man? Have you made a bet, per-
hnps, that you would do this? I have
heard of such things
He was smiling as he spoke, but
his tone was grave.
Nothing of the kind, Uncle David.
I freely volunteered to look after you.

That's little strange, isn't it?"
"They couldn't be here. My IA

There was queer little twinkle in
Uncle David's eyes.
Perhaps he slowly said, ''the
discipline will do you good" He
paused. elias your father ALWAYS

AS far back as l can remember.
"You have had everything you

81 see," said Uncle David.
Arthur laughed.
81 know what you are thinking.
You are saying to yourself, And yet
there's still something good about the
boy"
That's true" said Uncle David.
When it came to the evening of
the reception Arthur couldn't help
feeling little perturbed. How would
Uncle David appear? There was no
question about his manners. The
old man had all the instincts of a
born gentleman. But his clothes

David, in long-tailed black coat

1t was delightful ride, made es-
pecially so by the enjoyment of the
old man. Arthur recognized a num-
Der of people and he realized that
they looked at him curiously. No
doubt they were wondering who his
country friend was. Arthur flushed
little at the thought. He dimly
wondered if Uncle David had dark
suit of clothes in his bag. Perhaps
he was foolish to assume charge of
this simple old man.
Then he braced up suddenly and
took no heed of the staring faces. He
had given his word that he would
take charge of Uncle David.
They drew up in front of the an
cient dormitory and Arthur took
Uncle David to his rooms and urged
him to make himself at home.
Uncle David demurred little, but
Arthur overruled his objections. 1t
was all understood between his friend
John and himself
Uncle David was his guest and he
must resign himself to his fate.
And Sheldon Thorne had looked
in while they were talking, and stared
little at Uncle David, and then
