She dropped down on a heap OF

Nirvana, though the old Buddhist
adopts who had philosophical about it
had never conquered the sky, had
never bathed in 1t as Cayley on his
wings was bathing now.
The declining moon sank lower, till
the refracting Ice crystals that filled
the air caught its light slantwise and
danced with it so that II fiickered like
a will-o' the-wisp. The sky deepened
from its bright steel-blue to purple.
The silver light upon the snow faded,
through lavender and lilac, to a pur-
pie OF its own, only less deep than that
OF the sky itself But the stars burned
brighter and brighter, until 1t almost
seemed they sang:
'Harping in loud and solemn choir

Perhaps, down in the world of men,

doorways with mistletoe.
Before his thoughts had advanced
as far as that he was flying down to-
ward the clin-head. He could only
guess at the length Of time that had
elapsed since he left Jeanne, on her
heap OF skins, there In the mouth Of
the snow tunnel. II must have been

There was little silence after that
Before she spoke again she came over

she said:

There was an electric moment OF
silence between them. while she gazed
into his face, Mortified at the meaning
she read there

With a sob she clasped her arms
about his neck and held him tight.
Then. In tragic submission. they
dropped away.
Without saying anything more. Cay

door into the tunnel and took up his
furled wings. With trembling hands
she helped him spread them aud draw

"Goodby." she said.

He pulled her up close In his en-.

LAYING OUT A ROAD.
Billings Was In No Hurry, So the Work
Was Done Right.

A good many years ago C. *. G. Bill
Hngs, who made his millions in Chi
cago gas, bought good sized plot of
ground on the heights overlooking the
Hudson river at the upper end of Man
haitian Island. Some time later he put
up a house which still remains the
pride of seeing New York" guides.
When the land had been bought the
question arose as to the best means OF
laying out roadway up the steep and
rocky hill, at the crest of which the
house was to stand. Mr.. Billings was
puzzled. He wanted to make it as easy
a climb as he could He mentioned the
problem to his friend w. c. Muschen-
helm, New York hotel proprietor. Mr..
Musehenheim, who was familiar with
the hills and dales of that part OF New
York, gave the following advice:
You aren't Ia any great hurry. so
why don't you have it done right? Put
one OF your cows on that land and give
her time to lay out a path up that hill.
Trust her to find the easiest and most
comfortable grade"
Mr.. Billings followed the suggestion.
and in the course of time the cow
made path which has long since been
developed into a permanent, winding.

Very Thoughtful of Him.


A young gentleman who lives some
where west of Euclid village and a bit
east of the square has always been
noted for his good breeding. and
though as a college student he has
sometimes been a trif1e worse for late
hours, he has never forgotten his code.
A few weeks ago he made deter
mined effort to enter q dwelling which
he firmly believed to be his own. Ha
was met at the door by an angry man
in pajamas, who told him that he had
made a grievous mistake and, further
more, requested him not to make SO
much noise, because his (the house
holder's) wife was very i'll. Our friend
made abject and ample apologies and
departed. His own home eluded him
again. however. and in a few minutes
he was knocking at the same door.
The worried man in pajamas again
descended.
II told you before that this IS my
house" he shouted angrily. And
told you that my wife is i'll. What
do you mean by coming back here?'
II rememb'r perf'ly what you told
me about your sick house an your own
dear wife," answered the wayfarer sol
EMMY even tearfully. And couldn't
sleep thinkin' about 'em. l came back
