 ''But, Basil" she said presently, "I must marry my cousin. We ought not"
 Your cousin came into the title be. cause there was no direct male de scendant, didn't he?"
 ''Yes, and aunt has the title of duch- ess by courtesy. The late duke had one son, but he has not been heard of for thirteen years, and the law has accepted his death. He and his father had very bitter quarrel, and Gordon that was his name-left home and has never been heard of since"
 ''Never?"
 The girl started and then p~ered intently into Raymond's face.
 "You?" she whispered.
 Listen, Constance. I made a larg. fortune in Canada, but never had any desire to be a duke. I wanted to be free. Had your cousin been a wasteI I should have declared myself; but he is good lad and will make a better duke than I ever should"
 You tell him."
 "No, dear; it would break the lads heart"
 But, Basil, what a sacrifice!"
 Not at all, dear, it's myself Pm pleasing. You'll still be marrying Lord Winstead if you marry me, Con stance"
 What will they say, aunt and Jim my?"
 We must brave it out, you and l dear. Are you ready to-"

 Two days passed without Raymond seeing Constance, and then he received an invitation to dine with the Win steads, which he readily accepted
 Constance was much annoyed with her cousin for issuing the invitation.
 Have you invited the other men as well?" she asked.
 "Oh, dry up. Con. Raymond's a gen. tleman, anyone can see that"
 "Is he? I dare say he'll open your eyes tonight. Jimmy. You've only worked with him so far, remember. suppose I shall be expected to sit down with him."
 You can jolly we'll please yourself, say he'd be better pleased if you didn't"
 No doubt, there would be one less to watch his agonies in that case"
 "Rotr Winstead flung himself off to the billiard room. but was too annoyed to make any decent shots
 Despite Miss Blaketon's sarcastic comments. she appeared that night in ravishing dinner gown. Constance wore an air of affected calm, really she felt nervous. for she knew she had severely snubbed Raymond, although the fact did not seem to have worried him.
 You ought not to have dressed, Jimmy. Your foreman will feel very much out of place in his tweed suit"

 70, Dorothy" cried her mother. ''I'il tell you how to do it. Let's play every morning that you are Big Susan. and then it will be as easy as can be to dress yourself"
 Dorothy laughed. and thought that would be great fun. So the next morn ing she called herself Big Susan. and all the clothes went on so easily it was just like a game. Mother only did just little buttoning, where Dorothy could not reach very well. and praised her small daughter for being SO help full.
 And after that Dorothy dressed her self all alone every day. Although the big dolls clothes were sometimes not changed for days at time. Susan never seemed to mind a bit.-Youth's Companion.

RUsK1N AS HOME BOY.
Great Thinker n YOuth Was 1;ucn
 Tempered and COddled.


 Ruskin was an only son, and from 1 the very first the firm character oi his parents in sense overshadowe6 him. In all material things his life was a sheltered one-what the French call capitonne. He was never forced to go out into the world and battle for a living. His fathers large for tune was always at his command; and as his father was convinced that the boy was an extraordinary genius, ht never stinted or denied him anything Therefore, young Ruskin was free from ordinary cares. He could grat fly his taste for art. buy pictures, en dow museums, act as his own pub fisher; or, if he liked, he could fight over immaterial questions without ever having to think about the question oi an income.
 Even after his parents died, and when Ruskin, after middle life, had practically thrown away the fortune which had been left him, he still re ceived an income of some S20,000 year from his copyrights. so that he never once did know the meaning oi poverty, or what it was to toll for money, Lyndon Orr says in Munsey's.
 All this gave his genius full play. His eccentricities, so to speak, were endowed. Had he been less pampered, he would have been a different man in every way. Perhaps 1t was a good thing for him and for the world that his circumstances were as I have de scribed them; but, on the other hand he lacked that hard experience which makes men really strong. Even phys ically, this may perhaps have injured him.
 To the world at large he seemed a radical reformer, attacking the whole commercial system of modern life, and hurling epithets that famed like bale fires over social questions. But at home-and he lived with his father and mother during the whole form atiye period of his life-he seemed more of a child than a grown man. He submitted to the dictation of his parents in everything domestic. When he was 40 years of age he used to cover up all his cherished paintings on Sunday because his mother did not approve of anything that would please the fieshly eye and distract the mind ! from spiritual meditation.

CHAMPION KN1rTER IS DEAD.
Atlanta Woman, e3 Ycars Old, Knits
 Most Intricate Pafterns

Atlanta Woman, G3 Years Old, knits
 Most Intricate Patterns.
 Totally blind and 63 years old. yet able to produce knitted articles of ex- quisite workmanship and artistic de sign, which always take first prizes in whatever competition they are ex- hibited--
 This is the remarkable accomplish. ment of Miss Cardelia Lieberman
 Never possessing a very strong sight Miss Lieberman went entirely blind al the age of g years. She learned the art of knitting. of which she is now such an accomplished master. afte. that time, and it has been her chief occupation during forty years of blind ness.
 At the State fair held recently at Ma con Miss Lieberman was awarded two blue ribbons on her work. one for the best collection of fancy work of any kind and one for the best pair of knit ted bedroom slippers. At the last At lanta fair she received five first prizes and was the successful competitor at four previous fairs, the Atlanta Geor- gian says.
 Her prize collection of knitted work included a baby carriage afghan. pair of bootees. babys sack, lady's shawl, gentleman's bedroom slippers and child's scarf.
 Miss Lieberman hnits articles of sev- eral colors and by keeping the var:oue colored yarns in seperate positions she never gets them confused.
 Nor are all Miss Lieberman's ac- complishments confined to knitting.
 Only last year Miss Lieberman tool: up the study of the New York point and learned 1t readily, so that now she is able to read anything printed ir this system with the greatest fuency
 With the latter accomplishment be- gan Miss Lieberman's interesting ac- quaintance with Helen Keller. the ia nous blind girl
 Miss Lieberman read in one Of her magazines that Helen Keller was abll to play solitaire and number of other games with cards.
 Thereupon Miss Lieberman wrote her, asking what cards she used and how she was able to distinguish them. Miss Keller responded by sending Miss Lieberman a pack of cards marked iD the New York point. with the infor nation that she marked her own cards in any one of the several systems with which she was acquainted.
 Miss Lieberman acknowledged Ms Keller's kindness by sending her a pair of knitted slippers. Out of this correspondence and exchange 0: gifts has grown friendship that is cher ished by both.
 Miss Lieberman was born in Louis vile. Ky, coming to Atlanta about thirty years ago. She lives with her niece at 134 Richardson street and gains a livelihood from the sale of her articles.

 have rendered her dumb. However, she knew she was looking her best, and Constance Blaketon at her best was very delightful to see. Next morning Raymond was the roadmaker again, and when Constance visited the scene of operations she was the daughter of Lady Blaketon Con- seQuently. she nodded only slightly in response to Rayn-onds bow.
 A sturdy old oak was being rooted up, and Basil was eyeing anxiously its far-reaching branches.
 Miss Blaketon." he cried at length, you had better move farther back"
 Constance perked up immediately and flashed a whitening glance at Ray mond.
 Miss Blaketon. it is dangerous to stand where you are. Will you please go farther back?'
 Constance took not the slightest mo- tice. From overhead came a sudden harsh cracking noise and she gazed up in a fright to see huge branch hang ing menacingly over her.
 Raymond raced up to her side, gath cred her up in his strong arms, and carried her out of danger.
 Silly little girl" he muttered as he had taken hold of her.
 He had spoken the words more to himself, but Constance had heard them. This. with the fact that he had presumed to carry her, brought the !, &1
 How dare you?" she cried.
 T beg your pardon if have offend ed you.'' said Raymond. Then he turn ed on his heel and left her.
 Directly he left her Constance was bitterly repentant. How she detested herself. detested the wretched pride which made her behave to Raymond as she did
 But although she strove against her feelings. she found herself constantly going down to the new road. She hum bled herself sufficiently to thank Ray mond for what he had done. but those words. Silly little girl" constantly rang in her ears.
 Gradually. however. she ceased to find objection to them. and they took on sort of guarding expression that was almost a caress. Presently, she found herself repeating them as though she treasured them. And she wondered.
 She became intimate with Basil, un- til 1t grew to be a recognized thing for him to leave the road and walk through the park with her.
 "Is 1t true you are to marry Lord Winstead?" he asked one evening.
 "It has always been understood" she replied.
 Do you care for him?"
 Tell me. Constance" he whispered. Do you?"

THE CAMELoPARD AT HOME

The giraffe divides with the ele- phant and the hippopotamus the won- der of the gaping crowds at the menag- erie, the three animals being so fun damentally unlike anything in our staid north temperate zone. Seen in his natural surroundings in the heart of Africa, he is. says Dr. W. s. Rains ford, in the Outlook. a still more strik- ing and interesting sight.
 The giraffe is perfectly harmless; he was never known to hurt any one, and he gets his living off the upper boughs of thorn trees, which nobdy can reach but himself, and no one else would eat if it could reach them.
 To see the giraffe's beautifully mot tied skin towering up among and over the fiat green thorn trees is surely one of the strangest and most beautiful sights the animal world offers man. AS he stands and dips and bends and twists his nine-foot-long neck in and out among the armed branches of the tree he is grace personified.
 I saw once seven of these creatures, the king, his harem and his children, all gathered round one green-topped tree. From seven points of vantage they dipped into it at once. stopping under an unusually thinly armed bough bending on another. Their neclzs seemed to twist two or three ways at once.
 l had the good fortune to be able to come very near without alarming them less than 100 yards-and with ny glass could see them as if they were not more than ten yards away. But when at last the treacherous breeze betrayed us, and they plunged into fiight-well, no one could call their movements graceful.
 The immensely long fore legs are thrown forward, as you see a very high-stepping horse sometimes throw his fore legs forward. till the hoof, for the fraction of a second, Is pointed straight out in front. The giraffe makes this motion with a sort of jerk at the end of 1t, as If he intended in the first instance to fling his hoof as far forward as he could, and then with with sort of afterthought brings 1t to the ground. As 1t reaches earth he founders forward with his high shoul- ders. and lifts both ungainly hind legs together. lifting and planting them to- gether, or almost together.
 There is a great antediluvian lizard known to us which had two brains. one to move his body and another to move his abnormally iong tail. It looks as if the giraffe. like the long lizard, needed two brains also, one to move his hind legs and another to move his fore legs, and as if the two brains would not act perfectly to- gether.

ANN MABEL

 why.
 They spoke to Ann Mabel politely. And sweetly Ann Mabel replied. But never looked up at them brightly And ever her blue eyes did hide. Sc some one once made an endeavor To find why she acted this way, And said to her: Why do you never Look up when you're talking, I

 Dressing Susan.

He who covers or kills all the flies first, wins. AS 9 variation, eighteen pieces can be used each player throwing three times in stead of once.
