More Trouble in a Garden.

An elderly gentleman walking
through his garden one day stopped
before a fig tree on which were two
figs just ripening. His favorites were
figs. and summer often came and went
without the fruit coming TO maturity.
Shortly after he met his gardener
who. assuring him the figs were quite
ripe, was requested to send them 10
the summer house. where his master
was about TO rest.
Picking the figs. the gardener sent
his little boy OF with the basket on
the way the little fellow stopped, and,
tempting fruit
The attraction was too great; he
ate one. Covering the other with the
leaves, he proceeded upon his errand.
On being asked If the gardener had
not sent two figs. the boy. after a mo-
ments silence. answered: Il ate one"
You ate one? How" exclaimed
the old gentleman, angrily How did
you come 20 do that?'

another try for the poor fellow
The officer and his men hurried
away with the lanterns toward the
tree to tauten the rope, leaving Meg
gle standing alone by the swaying
buoy.
A reckless resolve flashed into her
mind. and she glanced around sharp
ly. The next moment she seized the
rope, had swung herself into the buoy
and was swiftly gliding down the
steep incline toward the deafening
inferno below.
Meggie felt a numbness creeping
over her senses, but she bravely
fought it back. She had set herself
the task of saving Jack if he still
lived and that task must be accom-
plished.
Suddenly her attention was arrested
by an indistinCt object swaying to
and fro in a tangle of rigging close
beside her, and a gasp of horror es-
capped her lips as she recognized it
as the figure of Jack Ryalls. Meggie
suddenly leaned from the buoy and,
Selling the limp figure of her lover,
drew him toward her.

The feeble rays of light fell upon
the locked figures of Jack Ryalls and
his gallant resCuer, and the next mo-
ment tremendous hurrah rose above
the soughing wind. Five minutes
later the unconscious couple were be-
ing conveyed home with the utmost
haste, followed by a crowd of silent
but enthusiastic witnesses of the
daring deed.
Twelve months later a pretty wed
ding was solemnized at the quaint
church of Sharpers, and the whole of
the townsfoll5 turned out 10 do honor
to the handsome pair; but never did
a heart beat more proudly than did
that of Jack Ryalls as he led his bride
between the lines of fishermen who
formed the guard of honor-the girl
who had snatched him from the very
Jaws Of death.

was a commotion at the rear of the
watchers. and a slight cheer was
raised The men from the F1amstead
Coastguard Station had arrived, and
at their head raced Meggie Martin,
her dark hair streaming in the wind.
a minute later a rocket with a
mighty rush scared seward, taking
with it the line It hummed like a
string of a gigantic harp. At length
there emerged from the darkness the
dim outline of the breeches- buoy,
and from it hung the limp figure of

A wild, terrified wall greeted the
announcement, and Mrs. Ryalls
rushed into the arc of light cast by
the lantern.

What of my husband?"
She reeled, and would have fallen
had she not been caught by Meggie.
The officer waved them aside.

voice that was almost a scream.

son. Quick. send the buoy back or

The officer started in surprise.
The captain should be the last to
leave"
yes, but don't you see he was in
jured and Jack has sent him first.
Oh, he quick, or twill be too latei"
The officer spun round with a sharp
command, and the buoy once more
went on the outward journey.
I'm afraid it's all over, miss. There
is no response. He shook the line
vigorously and again waited, but
without result. The buoy was drawn
ashore, and almost at the same mo-
ment and hawser perceptibly slack
ened.

By BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

DO NOT.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
am Is and in love with a man
two years my senior. He is nice
and has a good position. I kept
steady company with him for a
year and a half Then my mother
stopped him from calling on me,
but never gave a reason; but, as
it is. we go out, when we get
chance, together. He has given
me two diamond rings. Do you
think it is right for me to see him
as long as mother does not con-
sent? CUTIE.
You owe her obedience. and must
not see this man clandestinely.
On the other hand, you are now IS
and your mother owes you a reason
for her objections. Can you not per-
suade her to tell you what they are
that he may have a chance to over
come them? If he is the man who lie
to tell you the sweetest story of all,
l don't want you to lose him.

She Gets Anxious.

For once Helen was too excitedly
happy TO worry over what Warrens at
utude might be Surely, when he saw
how beautiful the rooms were, he could
not be angry at her having moved.
But at seven she grew anxious. He
should be here by now What II they
should not give him the note at that
other place? They had not liked It be-
cause she had left-would they take
such a revenge7 she had left the note
In the box with the key-how could he

Quarter after seven-haIf- past! BY
this time Helen had forgotten the charm
Of the rooms and was walking restless
ly about in tense anxiety. What could
have happened? He had said he would
be back around half-past six, and it
would take him only fifteen minutes at
the most to get here from the other
place
For the first time there came a doubt
in her mind as to the wisdom Of her
moving in this way Perhaps she should
have stayed After all. it was rash
thing for her to do. They we're in a
strange city, II he should not get the
note-how could he ever find her?
She could, Of course. write to the
American Express Company. where he
would go for his mail in the morn
! ing but what would he do tonight?
! Oh, why had she done this? Franti-
cally she wished herself back In those
other rooms, however shabby and dirty
they might be. Surely il would have
been better to put up with anything
than to risk any chance OF mishap in

:: Their Married Life ::
Helen and the Trunks Are Gone When Wa"ren
Returns to the Hotel in Paris

I thought there would be only the room
| for one night and breakfast-but there
was a charge for light, service and
bath However. she was too glad TO es-
cape from the place TO mako any pro-
test and a little later she was IN
cab with their baggage on top, driving
10 the new hotel with a feeling Of
mingled glee and awe at her own te-
merity
It was just , by the French gilt clock
on the mirrored mantel Of the rose
tapestried sitting room. when Helen
closed the door after the porters who
had brought up the baggage.
Even before she took off her hat she
made an eager. Interested inspection of
every detail Of the rooms. They we're
uxuriously and perfectly appointed.
Everything was in exquisite taste.
II would be over three hours yet be-
fore she could expect Warren. But
she had no desire 10 go out in the blaz-
ing. mldafternoon sun. for the heat was
sitting She would spend the time In
unpacting. In getting up their laundry,
and in going over her clothes which
after the week on board ship needed
attention.
II was a real JOY 70 shake out her
gowns and hang them in the spacious
closets. and 10 arrange har clothes in
the white papered drawers Of the chif-
fonclr and dresser The rooms were so
beautiful that there was sense Of
luxury in just moving about and get
ting settled in them.
At o'clock she decided suddenly 70
dress to put on her white chiffon ev-
ening gown She would lay out War
ren's evening clothes. and when he saw
her all dressed he would hardly refuse
TO dress, too They would live up to
the luxury Of the place.
To sit down and arrange her hair
before the low dressing table was a
real pleasure Helen thought Of all the
hours she had to stand before her high
bureau at home, and resolved to have
dressing table like this as soon as she
got back
About half past six she was trailing
about the apartment In her white chif-
fon gown, looking at herself I'm the mir
rors with which the rooms ahounded,
and feeling as though she was living In
play The very foreign atmosphere Of
IL all added to the charm Although it
was hardly dusk. she turned on the
electric lights which glowed softly
through their silken shades.

Household Suggestions

Weak eyes that ache when exposed
to the glare of the sun, especially on
the sea, should be treated with cold
water congresses. These are folded
on the closed lids, and ease the ach-
ing at once.
If troubled with ants indoors spread
a piece of brown paper with MARINA
lade rather thickly then place it
where they are most troublesome. It
will soon be covered with them.
When boiling potatoes put tea
spoonful of sugar as well as salt in
the water. This does not give
sweet taste but makes them dry and
fiOury.

Passing of ChIvaIry

A lack of chivalry in Arizona was mournfully indicated by the unetbi cal action of bunch of gamblers in Bi-bee a few nights since. Confront ed with six-shooters and everything done according to Hoyle, these gam. blers instead of"comiog across" ac- cordiog to the time honored custom ard tradition governing such sitns- tions. crsssly and cruiely resisted these specimens of fast disappearing type. It was a double soleci.m. hows ever, for gamblers are supposed to en- joy immunity, the right Of sanctuary ss it were, from bo,d-up men.
