1t was raining hard. The wind blew
md roared around the chimney and
the trees bent low before the storm
hat their whirling tops had brushed
the ground.
Up in the old attic there was a bsuy
buzz of conversation, for rainy nights
were coy times to chat. Perhaps you
hink that only people talk. But that

When old things have been put in
he garnet, they love to talk about
)ygone days. And how the broken
hairs, the battered trunks chat of
heir past history. On this particular

Grove were having quite a time. Be

lear the queer whispers.

I was in a ballroom where great

"Well, l never was in a ballroom"

over under the slanting roof stood
red desk. It's slender legs seemed
,lmost too weak to hold its tremb-
ing weight; cobwebs draped its sides,
md over it all was a thick coat of
dust.
Hello, grandpa" shouted the gilt
mirror. "What have you got to say
or Yourself? You are not much to

But do not be afraid to speak up, even
we are your superiors."

The desk did not reply. Outside
no storm roared and the lightning
dashed, but in the attic it was warm,
lark and coy.
The next morning dawned clear.
Presently the door to the attic was
pushed open and small girl entered

"Oh, grandma, what lot of things

light.
"Will you please step up here"

The world may, speaking roughly,
be divided into two wide classes, con-
sisting of those who live and those
who take. And without a doubt
there is great deal of stealing which
is never recognized by the police or
the law.
The sweetheart stealer is a most
Objectionable individual and far more
common than one would think. This
person may be of either sex, and can
be likened to the frigate, or the man.
ofwar bird, that beautiful sea-bird
of the tropics which, though a mighty
flier, is incapable of swimming, or
diving, and can therefore only pick
up a precarious living on flying fish
Being thus unable to fish for them
selves, these pirate-birds resort to
plundering gannets and terms, which,
as they fly homewards with their
catch of fish are compelled to drop
their dinners which are caught by
tn swooping bird in midair
The natural history of the sweet
heart stealer is much the same. These
pirates of the lovers world seem in
capable of attracting affection on
their own account They must steal
They cannot acquire.
Few girls are sufficiently wide
awake to recognize the real love
pirate when they meet him. He is a
philanderer of course, and all phil
anderers are exceedingly attractive
and well-dowered as to looks. More
over, he has a spurious glitter that
attracts these foolish damsels away
from more solid friendships and
which generally leaves them in the
end like the maiden all forlorn in the
story books, without any lover at all.
There is a period in the dawning OF
love affair when the interference of
third party may break up every

Newark, n. j., June 29.-To the

New York, June 20. - Legislation

New York, June 29.-according to
Vice-Chancellor Stevenson, sitting in
Jersey City in a case for divorce, the
inalienable right of a woman to falsify
about her age, even to deceiving a
man she is about to marry, must be
upheld. That his wife discounted her
age by II years is the plea of Wade
Robinson, a marine insurance broker.
The judge held that misrepresnta-
tons of age, social position or wealth
on the part of either party to mar
riage does not constitute grounds for
divorce.
