PAYING THE PRICE
BY N. II. CaOWELL.

A gaunt woman stood in the cabin

the narrow pathway leading into the
depths below AT her knees clung
three tow-headed children - hectic
checked, wild-eyed little girls-and the
sound Of halfstiHed sobbing told OF
grief ranking IN their childish bo-

and patted the girls heads reassur-

weak response.
The womans hollow cheeks flushed
as she glanced swiftly toward the lit

also knew 1t when he descended that
narrow path early In the morning.
From the depths whistle sounded
up clear and keen. and the anxious
face Of the woman became pitiful with
tense, eager hope. Nearer came the
sound, and presently the crackle of
branches brushed aside could be
heard.
"Lissy?" Twas a mans voice-ex-
pectant-full OF cheer.
"Jim!" That word spoke volumes.
The children darted away, and some
where in the dark laughing. scuffling
capture took place. The woman
smiled slightly and turned quickly to
her work-her preparations for a
meal
Boisterously the four entered the
cabin. the children tugging at a wealth
OF packages clasped beneath the mans
long arms. One stride took him to the
table and he dropped his burden there
on. hastily, as though glad to have
done with them.

and the savory odor Of frying meat
dwelt fragrantly upon the air. The
children circled clamorously about the
table. expectant.
Set up, Jim." said the woman. pres

He shook his head slowly.
"I hain't hungry, Lissy."
She did not argue the matter-her
voice prevented 1t. The meal was
nearly over when the man arose and
stood before a cracked bit OF looking
glass that hung on the wall. Present.
ly he turned and dropped a small
packet into the woman's lap.
"Yuh mought git yuh better glass.
Lissy. You will-wont yuh. gal?" He
spoke tenderly. yet harshly.
She dropped her fingers and they
met the packet. The fingers instinc
lively closed over It. Her eyes studied
the faded design in the oilcloth fixedly.
Upon little shelf stood battered
clock. He picked 1t up and began
winding It, after which he shook It
to his ear. Replacing 1t. he stretched
himself lazily-then kissed the little
girls. beginning at the eldest.
The woman's face was now buried
In her apron. He put his broad hand
upon her gray-hecked locks. bent low
and whispered:
'Lissy-woman-I- goin'."
Silently he opened the door and
stepped out out into the darkness.

CONTINENTAL ENGLISH,

The idea that English is to be the
universal language of the future
seems to be spreading. Certainly
thousands of Europeans struggle
bravely with its rules and idioms.
Here is sample of the progress that
has been made in one quarter. 1t is
taken from the advertising matter
that a large continental hotel pub
fishes in the form of an elaborate
illustrated booklet:
"lts spacious dimensions, exquisite
comfort, elegant fashion of its fur
nishing, the unobjectionable prerog-
atives as to the produces of its kitch-
en- and contents of its cellars, be-
side the distinguished managing,
which, assisted by well-experienced
attendants, does its utmost in always
duly treating-all this united al
ready for many years past obtained a
general renown, even abroad too."-

ROSE-COLORED SNOW,

Rose-colored snow fell recently in
the Alps, chiefly on the mountains
(11,S87 feet) in the Canton of Gla-
rus. On analyzing the snow it was
found to be impregnated with mi
mute particles of sand. 1t is thought
that this is the aftermath of the
great storm above the Sahara, which
blew large quantities of sand recently
across the sea and the Italian Alps
to the Swiss mountains, descending
on the white slopes in "yellow snow" !"
The "rose snow" however, has hung
in the upper air several weeks before
falling.
