A Wandering Destiny ' By MABEL CHASE ENGLAND Copyright, laid, by Aasuuiated Literary Preas The country road, unshaded by tree r shrub, stretched straight and dusty under the burning AuguBt aun. A girl la cool white came slowly out of a gateway, clicked the latch behind her tod stood gazing dubiously at the took and a box of chocolates; with tie other she raised her ruffled skirts. A mile to the woods, a short walk along a shady path to the bank of the rlyer, then her canoe the book , Che chocolates, and With sudden decision sne stepped Into the road and began picking her way gingerly along the edge. When tbe reached the opening In the woods where the path began she heaved an immense sigh of relief, but without pausing kept steadily on till she reached tbe bank of the river. There be sank down on the log to which her small canoe was moored, threw off her hat, and gasped. "Phew!" she enld. "1 don't believe I'd do that again." She sat a few moments, her chin on fcer hands, gazing out over the shad ed river, then, stepping Into her canoe be arranged herself comfortable on a pile of cushions, places the book end the chocolates conveniently be side her and pushed off. , The air was brooding and somno lent; the silence deep. She drifted lazily Just a touch here and there with tbe paddle to guide ber. A faint wind blew from the south and gently lifted tbe soft hair from her brow. The moments passed. Slowly, al most imperceptibly, the little canoe crept along. Zoe's eyes rested stead ily on a distant curve in the bank. "It was Just beyond that," she mur mured. She rounded tbe bend cautiously. Her heart gave an excited little throb. He waa there. He lay facing (the river. "Asleep!" thought Zoe resentfully, land yesterday he had bad his back to : " .a 8he Drifted Lastly. the river and hadn't appeared to see her as she slipped past Just why ha hail V. . . .-I- M LI llll 1 1 . 1 . nwi ujuuul ui uiia mi, mie in the sight and dreamed of him till dawn she had failed to determine. Nor was her chance to discover what compelling characteristics lurked in bis silent personality. She hesitated, making sure of his absolute uncon sciousness. , At last she turned ber canoe toward him, propelled It slow ly, carefully, till Its bow ran noise lessly into the soft mud of the bank.

Although tbe two Ma war4 mucn K00ut tua (UBt "I t was so astonished to see you," she stammered. "I Just stopped to to make sure you were" "A man and not a faun," he sug gested helpfully. ' , "No," she contradicted, frowning, "that you were asleep and not not dead. You see, I have never before seen a man In these wilds, and " "Not even a dead one?" be inter rupted, laughing. "No." She smiled distantly. "Not even a tramp. And I wondered I thought" "I was here yesterday," he re proa) tied her. "He saw me!" she thought Indig nantly. "He thinks I came down here today on the chance of meeting him, the conceited " "I paddle down here every day," she informed him coldly. "Oh, really!" he exclaimed, with open delight. "It's awfully nice of you to tell me. I'll be here Ashing every afternoon, and" "I didn't mean that," she flashed back furiously. He looked dejected. "Purdon me," he siild, "I don't suppose you did. I merely meant that that Oh, please don't go," as she prepared to push off. Seizing a fallen branch he dex terously hooked It through the long rope that was tied to the bow of ber canoe, and drawing It toward him grasped It firmly. "I simply meant," he proceeded with calmness, "that I was coming here, always, every after noon to fiBh. You don't mind that, do you?" he Inquired humbly. "I don't care In the least what you do," she retorted, with angry disdain. He gave the rope a couple of turns around his wrist and settled himself "comfortably. "In that case I shall sit here and talk to you," he announced. For answer Zoe pulled herself care fully toward the bow and began to work busily at tbe knot that secured her end of the rope to the little Iron ring In the bow of the canoe. "Of course, I might offer to help you," he mused aloud, "but uuder the circumstances What! You're go ing to give It up? Well, that Is more sensible. I'm afraid that knot was put In to stay." , Zoe moved back to her former po sition and rearranged herself on the cushions, after which she opened her book and began to read and munch chocolates. , He watched her a moment. "Isn't thla Idyllic?" be murmured contentedly. Zoe helped herself to another choc olate and turned a page of the book. The minutes waned. Half an hour passed an hour. The silent and peaceful companionship worked like oil on ti.e troubled waters of Zoe' resentment. An unconscious happi ness and contentment stole Into ber heart. She risked a glance at him. He was thoroughly "nice,' she de cided. At this moment, as If sensing ber softened mood, he leaned over and peered Into the canoe. "Greedy!" he murmured. "Only three left!" Zoe struggled with ' herself, then laughed. "Won't you , throw tbe rope back now, please?" she begged. "It is late and I have some distance to paddle." He looked contrite. "I've been a brute," be apologized humbly, "but I Just couldn't help It. ' I knew it I once let you go that would be the end of me you'd simply disappear forever. And and really, you know. It's lonely about here." "Isn't it!" agreed Zoe, with quick sympathy. "And so why," he asked eagerly, "shouldn't we amuse each other a little? I'm staying with my uncle, back there, on my way to Southamp ton, to vlHlt a friend of mine, and" "Southampton!" exclaimed Zoe. "Why, that's where I live!" "Really!" His face beamed. "Do you happen to know a Mr. Brentley and his daughter?" "My father!" Zoe gasped, "and myself! You are not don't tell me " she began to laugh helplessly. "I am Tom DrlBcoll," he said sol emnly. "And you what are you do ing " be pulled the canoe nearer "up here I wa going you know that I was going, simply to meet you!" "I ran away," gurgled Zoe. "Father had talked about you so much I I hated you! Ob, what a Joke?" "It's anything but a Joke If you hate me," objected Mr. Drlscoll gloomily. Zoe lifted a flushed, dimpled face. "Well I I hadn't seen you then," she admitted. He looked into her eye. "Do you think 1 might paddle you home?" he asked. hi Immense bead, his broad fore bead and hi prematurely white hair gave him an appearance of authority, and even of severity, which one might have thought would prove Intimidat ing to a stranger.

Such brilliant lights as Burns and Poe have been cited to prove that strong drink Is an Incentive to fire the Imuglnatlon to lofty heights of fancy impossible to be leached In sober moments. Both Burns and Poe were victims of the drink habit and both geniuses, but their cases so far from supporting the claim of alcohol to usefulness ar gue against It. If Burns and Poe, God-gifted as they were, had kept their faculties clear and their reasons undlmmed, what might they not have done? The for mer might have become the Homer of the Eastern and the latter the Dante of the Western World. As it was, these twin stars of the firmament of literature scintillated fitfully foi only a lew years. They simply reeled through life until they came to tin verge of premature graves and tot tered into them ere half their time on earth was spent, writes Madison C. Peters in an exchange. The age of Johnson may be termed the golden age of English literature. Its sky was studded with brilliancy, but how long did the light last? Men of such transcendant gifts as Oold smith, Savage and Shenstone did not know the moaning of life. Their brlet careers were spent 1 nrlotous living Charles l.ever, prince of Irish novel ists, represented the Irish squires and gentlemen as hard-headed, hard-drinking, rollicking fellows, whose chief amusements . were fox bunting, love making, and breaking one another's heads. For the moBt part this por trayal was true, but there were some notable exceptions to Lever's crea tions among the gentry of Irelund. The men who did the most for Ire land, who reflected an undying glory on her cause, were, If not teetotalers, at least temperate. Grattan, Hood, Wolfe, Tone, Fitzgerald and Emmet were temperate. OConnell seldom drank a glass of wine. The Duke of Wellington was an abstemious man. Parnell in the heyday of his fame could not be Induced to touch liquor. His head was always clear In the house, and this was the secret of his political foresight, which enabled him to accomplish so much. The great leaders of English poll tics, both In the past and present cen turies, have been .strictly temperate ;men. Gladstone only touched light wines on rare occasions.. Morley, aBl four. Spencer, Harcourt, Salisbury, Chamberlain, all early took their places beneath the temperance ban jner. At royal receptions and ambas sadors' balls none of these men could be InduceJ to take liquor In any form. : The well known . literary men of jEngland In our time have almost to ia man heen temperate. Dickens, though he drank a glass of ale be times, never exceeded discretion, eade, Besant, Paine, Buchanan, Ten nyson and Browning were all on the ,Blde of temperance. The same can be said of the leading statesmen and writers of Germany, France, Italy and other European countries at the present day. The same is notably true of emi nent Americans. Have any of our great Inventors been drunkards? They have spent their days and nights In ceaseless activity, perfecting their de signs with clear brains and steajy hands, only desisting to obey the call of exhausted nature. Edison, the wizard of electricity, never touches intoxicating liquors, Could the Wrights and Curtiss, Zep pelin and Blerlot have conquered the air with rum-drenched brains and Jangling nerves? Our great scientists and medical men, knowing well the dangers that lurk In the sparkling glass, shun It as they would deadly poison. Kelvin, Crookes, Roentgen and Koch have all been total abstainers. Drink saps the vital organs and dulls the brain. It has stripped the crown from the brow of manhood and engirdled It with a crimson band of shame; It has plucked the flowers from tho garden of success and In their pluce baa strewn the weeds of failure. It hns wrenched the sword of victory from the hands of conquer ors, turned It into a scourge and driv en them from the arena of fame into the darkness of obscurity; from royal brows It has taken Imperial crowns and dashed them Into fragment on tbe stone of defeat and Ignomy. Tbe men who made America were, with some notable exceptions, of ab stemious habit and austere lives. Liquor never adds, but always sub tracts. So far from being a stimu lant, it .Is an anaesthetic; It deudens instead of quickens. Science has classed It a a sporiflc or narcotic. Instead of bellpng man up it drag him down; instead of placing blm on the sun-crowned height of success and honor it place him in the gutter of failure and shame. A Swedish Temperance Congress. The cummer congress of the Swed ish Good Templar was opened at Lea slebolm.

Drunkenness In London. There waa so much drunkenness in London about-1789 that the hackney coachmen carried on quite a lucrative buklnoss driving through the street at night to pick up men who bad trouble to And their way home or who ha dropped down in tbe street.

Judging from the numerous letters from brides-elect, Cupid muBt have been unusually busy with his little bow and arrow. There are so many requests for pre-nuptlal functions, I am sure the description of this chry santhemum luncheon will be very ac ceptable. It was gorgeously brilliant, the color scheme being yellow; especially fitting for this month as November claims the topaz and the chrysanthemum; In this Instance It was also the bride's birthday month as well as her wed ding day season. For a centerpiece there was a mound of yellow "mums," kept In place by embedding the stems in sand. At each place there was a little yellow jardiniere containing one stiff, straight little yellow "mum" to which the name card was attached with a yellow ribbon. The grape fruit cock-tall had a wee "mum" In the cen ter of the fruit; around the stem of the glass there was a fluffy bow of white tulle. The plates on which the frappe glasses stood hnd a wreath of yellow "inuins" around them and the Ice-cream was In boxes concealed by petals of yellow crepe paper "mums." The candle sticks were of silver and hud yellow shades. , At each place were yellow slippers filled with salted nuts. Just the bridal party were In cluded In the guests, I mean the girls In the party and two matrons of honor. box of soap, of thread, of pins, work box, glove and handkerchief box, stamp box, toot box and a nest of boxes ending with a wee pill box which contained a collar button; box of tin kitchen utensils, box of paper napkins, box of labels,, etc. When it came to serving refreshments the hos tess had a dainty luncheon put up in pasteboard boxes covered with rose wall paper, a box for each couple, cot fee and Ice cream completed the re past. There were salted almonds and bon-bons In pretty heart shaped boxes bearing the monogram of the bride and groom elect, which the guests re tained as souvenirs. r A Box Shower. A Jolly crowd wishing to "shower" one of their number who was about to leave the state of single blessed ness, conceived the bright Idea of giv ing a box shower. The boys were In on It too, and they had loads of fun. All the gifts were in boxes, which in turn were put In a huge dry goods box covered with white paper cambric on which hearts of red, large and small were pasted. When all had arrived, the bell rang and the village express man appeared and said he had a small parcel for Miss B and Imagine the surprise when he entered with the as sistance of several of the masculine guests bearing the Immense box. The honored couple were told they could unpack, but each package was to be shown, the card read and speech made before the next box was opened. Among the articles were boxes of paper, box of matches, box of tacks. A Neck-Tie and Apron Party. , This really Is an old time stunt, but like many other old things has been rejuvenated. The hostess prepares as many cheese cloth aprons as there are men and as many pieces of silk or rib bon as there are girls. When all arrive the men are given spoolB of thread and told to find the girl who has an apron to match It. In this way part ners are chosen and the girls put on the aprons after the men have sewed the hems and sewed on the strings. Allow half or three-quarters of an hour for this. Next the girls are giv en the necktie pieces and they are gathered together and put through a door, each glri having bold of an end, the door Is closed and the men are to come In and take hold of an end. When each man has an end, the door Is opened and the girl who has bold of the other end must fashion a neck tie for her swain. The latter puts It on and the girl puts on her apron, and thus partners are selected for supper or refreshments. This Is a very Jolly party, adapted to private parties or for a church social.

Fishing Is not an art; It Is not a. sport; It Is usually an unaccomplished. act. The essentials to fishing are a polv a line, and an eliminated conscience. , Also the person who desires to take up fishing as a menus of occupying his, time for a day or so must have much hope that he haa to carry mext of It In condensed form. Some people fish by casting the line hither and yon, then working trie red and swearing. Others cut out the rastiug and th reeling-in and double up on the pro fanity.
