Bo he voyages up and down Sliding seas and deserts rude, And takes the wind on his forehead brown In all degrees of latitude, Ho to the sources of the Nile! Ho to some unknown Arctic isle Where the grim {oe pack shall lie at his back for many a frozen mile! Distance doth he laugh to scorn And the perils of the waste, And the storms beneath the horn ; Death {itself he hath outfaced. Ho the simoom! Ho the ghock When on reefs tall vessels knock! And the poisoned spear and the serpent near and the avalanche from the rock!

For she was quite sure of Grant St. Emil now. “Mamma,” called Theo, the next morning, and Mrs. Evelyn meekly obeyed the summons, coming from the back room, where she was busily en- | gaged in ripping apart the breadths of a rose-colored dress belonging to Theo, which that young lady had taken = | fancy to have altered. “Mamma, hem are two tickets to the private mas- querade at Mrs, Almy's, with Mr. St. | Emil's compliments—one for you and one f~.> me.

Why don’t you take out my hair-pins, instead of standing star- ing there?” “I didn't know you were ready, | dear,” said the mother, advancing with nervous haste, “There!” cjaculated Theodora, tart ly; “you've torn my dress-trail with your clumsy feet. I'vea great mind not to let you come near me.” { “I'm very sorry, darling,” spolo-| gized the meek matron, turning red | and pale as she began to take down the luxuriant masses of Theodora's | golden hair. “What good does it do to besorry?” | snapped the girl. “It's what you al- | ways say. Do make haste; didn't 1 tell you I was tired?” “Di you have s pleasant evening, ! Theo ?” ventured her mother, after a few minutes of silence, during which | the beauty yawned several times, “Plensant enough,” was the un-| gracious response, “Was Mr. St. Emil there?” ““Yes," sald Theo, roused into some- thing like animation at the mention of | that name; ‘“‘and that piece of pink- and-white wax, his lady-mamma. Oh, | how anxions he was that I should make | sa favorable impression on the old woman !" “And you?" “Oh, I played sweet simplicity to | perfection—said ‘Yes, ma'am’ and| ‘No, ma'am!" ” and Theodora laughed boisterously at the recollection. ‘How | delighted St. Emil was!” “hen he is really interested?" “Interested? Of course he is Mark my words, mamma, I shall be irs, 8t. Emil yet." Mrs. Evelyn's eyes sparkled at the alluring prospect. “Only,” went on Theodora, languid- ly, surveying her pretty face in » cheval glass, “the idea of such a mother-in-law almost daunts me. He thinks so much of due reverence being paid her, and I, for one, ean't fall down and worship any old woman alive. But it's just as well, I suppose, to keep up the illusion until after we're married.” ‘Oh, certainly, certainly,” said the discreet mother, eagerly. “How St. Emil would stare if he heard me hauling you over the conis sometimes,” pr of 4 Theodora, with a laugh. ‘He thinks one's mother ia next dvor to one's guardian angel, the fool I" “Theo, don’t talk so,” said Mrs a contraction as if of pain over her pale, worn face. i ant-com AE WIS fire with & more * ove, asked, | ap of te cup of t a, bed?” she { Diana, for } said, “anything will do for me. bore, You opera he wing Wing Miss Evelyn's co the ball, was a decid ver-gree: y fringe, the fillet that bound her lovely yellow hair and the Grecian draperies that revealed even while they hid the mtour of her perfect arma, made her look even more besutiful than her or- dinary self, and Mrs. Evelyn gazed transformation nost lustriou harassed Mr, Eve- eo 1 = Geille t “shell / of the ly snd entirely out « tion,” he had answered when she plied to him for ‘‘a little money.’ “I have to steer carefully to avoid sheer bankruptey, and I cannot spare a single cent from my business just now 1" S80 Mrs. Evelyn, having sold a pair of opal ear-rings, her husband's gift in their courting days, to buy the costly material, had herself sat up night fer night, and day after day, to make the dress which Theodora questi ; > ny it " 1 i | loudly declared she must have to ap- pear as ¢he impersonation of Diana the Huntress!

On the Mangishlak Peninsula, in the Caspian Sea, there are five small lakes. One of them is coverad with salt crys tals strong enough to allow man and beast to cross the lake on foot; an- other is as round as any circle and » lovely rose color.
