Would fifty dollars a week for the
party be too little?"
Jitney's biir brown eyes dilated.
Fifty dollars a week seemed a colossal
sum to a girl who had never seen more
than a five dollar bill at any one time
before.
He drew out his card.
"Will von favor me with the ad

"This evening," faltered Janpy,
feeling as if she had burned all tha
bridges behind her, "at. eight o'clock.
It's the old Walton homestead, beyond
the mill-race, where the big elm-trees

And before Tercival could syllable

hud vanished.
Janey Walton did not go home by
the road, but took instead a short cut
firing through budding woods, stop
ping on the edge of 1 tucket Brook to
gather a handful of the very earliest
violets ere she jumped airly across the
stepping-stones, climbing rude walls
like a squirrel and springing lightly
from hummock to hummock in the
murshv meadow under the hill.
So that her cheeks and eyes were
brighter than ever when she darted
into the wide, low-ceiled keeping-room
where her two elder sisters sat bemoun-
ing their hard fate.
Amelia and 1 hilippa Walton were
wiiely different from their dark,
uervous-nutured young sister.
Amelia was tall and fair, with frizzod
flaxen locks and expressionless blue
eves.
Philippa was like a big wax doll,
with pinkv cheeks and a deliberation
of movement bordering on stupidity,
Leur me. exclaimed Amelia, iiow

"We thought," said the mngnifiod
wax doll, "that you never were com

"There's a letter for Philippa," aaid
Janey, "l'rom the lhackeray Maga

"Pedined with thanks,'" angrily
read l'liilippa. "And those packuges

Bureau of Work. I knew there
wouldn't be anv market for them.
"As much as there is for your silly
stories, sharply retorted Amelia.
"Oh, dear! I never would have
bought that blue sorgo dress if I hadn't

"Listen," struck in Janey, abruptly.
"I ve something to tell you, girls.

"Uonrders !"

Amelia burst into tears.
"Janey never had any proper pride,"

And then 6he told the two pink-and-white
maidens what she had done.
"Artists!" exclaimed Philippa. "On

repeated Amelia. "Oh, I should revel

And then it waa that Atr. Poyntz ap
peared on th ceene.
He was delighted with tha big; airy
rooms of the old homestead, tha wide
hall with it matted floor and paneled
ceiling, the antique maaaiTeneae of tha
furniture, and the lovely prospect from
the windows ; and in less than week
he and his two sisters and tha other
members of the sketching class were
inngly installed in their new quar
ters. ,
'. Janey had toiled like a slave to get
the rooms ready. She had talked her
self hoarse to induce th butcher to
rondone the arrears and to persuade
the aggrieved "general merchant" to
extend new supplies of flour and spices,
tea and sugar.
"Ab soon as 1 get tne first week s
board," said Janey, "I can pay some
of these debts.
"But Philippa must have a spring
hat," said Amelia.
"And Amelia wants to go out sketch
in? with the Poyntzes," declared
Philippa, "and how can she without
in outfit? You must let us have th

irily remarked Janey.
And so the first week's earnings were
swallowed up by these human octo
puses. Miss Revere, as Amelia called her
self, took great pains with her toilet,
lpvpJoned a new enthusiasm for art.

One spring day, however, when they
were all copying th fantastic leaps oi
a certain cascade not far from the
house, Mr. Poyntz happened to ba sit
ting beside fair Amelia, with his easel
before him, and Lis palette on his
thumb.
"Oh, by-the-way," said he, "there'
something I want to ask you, Mia Se
vere!" Amelia blushed.
This was not the way that proposals
generally began ; but then, she reflect
ed, artists were so unconventional !
"It's confidential, of course," said
hp.

Miss Amelia bit her lip ; her eyes
lightened ominously.
"I don t know now yon should ex

"Oh, I beg your pardon I" said j
Poyntz. "I supposed you were old j

"And I really can't imagine,' vin-
lictively added Ameiia, "whr you
should be interested in the iaattur, one
way or another.
"Can't you?
He smiled, and
touched the glittering edge of the cas-
ade with ivory-white. w hy, because
'm tntcrrted in Miss Walton herself:
aecause I find her the most interesting
person I have ever met ; because I have
isked her to marry me.
Amelia leaned forward, with a littla
jasp.
"And and has she accepted you?
"I don't know. I have not received
ret any answer to the not I sent to
uer this morning." j
"Do you mean Janey?
"Of course I mean Janey."
Miss Amelia started up, lotting her
fetching utensils scatter theiuuulves
very which way.
"I t'uiuk a bee has stung; myfluger,"

Mr. Poyntz looked after her in soma
mazement, but before he oenld decide 1
.U-ther it was best for him to follow
;er and inquire into the full extent of
ier injury, his sister Mary came to his
.ide.
"Pereival," she whispered, "I've.tig-

The Secret of Digestion.
'The secret of digestion is modera
tion," said an old man the other day,
who at seventy-eight has the com
plexion of a girl and the relish for
food of a schoolboy. "It seems absurd
to me that persons should suddenly
discover that many articles of food
upon which our ancestors lived to a
green old age ar extremely detri-
Inental to health and longevity. I
lave never considered what I. ought to
eat, but I have mad it a rule of my
life to always leav the table wanting
just a. little more.
"I did not leave th' home roof,
which was on a farm, until I wni
nearly thirty years old, and it was my
habit from November to April to eat a
piece of mince pie every night just be
fore going to bed. -. It was - rather a
small piece, but I invariably took it
nnd do not recall ever having even a
bad dream in consequence.
" "And I think, too, that digestion is
like salvation to be worked out in
dividually. We ar not all Baptists or
Methodists, why must everybody be a
vegetarian or soma other food crank?
When I got away from the mince-pie
country, missing it, I took fruit in its
place. A friend who saw me eating an
ppl oa night hurled at me. the old
saw : 'Fruit is gold in the morning,
silver at noon, lead, at nightj- "Xon
Bejar lr eried, and retorted with
another provery, .'What is one man's
meat ia another man's poison,' and I've
continued to eat someting, usually
fruit, vry night of . my life." New

of Embalming sets forth that "past ex
perience has demonstrated tnas a com
plete mastery of the science of body
preservation in all its branches cannot
be obtained in the short space of two
or three days, and therefore the length
of time required to learn the procese
may extend from one week upward,
according to the aptitude of the stu
dent" When the student has proved

is two weeks. Chicago Becord.

Tropical Ballwayi.
. Apropos of the projected Pan-American
Bail way, it is to be noted that not
only is the first cost of railway con
struction in tropical countries very
heavy, but the annual maintenance of
way is expensive to a degree which
cannot be appreciated by those who
have had no experience in this connec
tion. The Antioquia Bailroad, in
Colombia, says Charles P. Yeatman in
the Engineering Mf-rszine, cost in a
single year for repairs of track and
bridges"$2266 per mile. The Cauca
Bailroad, in the same year, cost $3837
per mile. These two roads are in
Colombia, and are sometimes men
tioned either as future feeders of the
Pan-American Railroad or parts of its
main line. On the Antioquia Koad, if
the undergrowth were cut at the be
ginning of the rainy season, less than
two months' rain was sufficient to form
an nroh of green trees thirty feet high,
leaning over the track so as to shade it
completely.
The constant change from dryness
in the day to soaking moisture at
night, even in the dry season, would
soon ruin the best of timber, but na
ture furnishes a still quicker means of
getting rid of it, in the shape of an ant
or wood louse, which is careful not to
mar the outside of his domicile, but
will patiently honeycomb the inside,
until what looks like a solid twelve-by-twelve
stick is. but. a shell from one
eighth to one-fourth inch thick, filled
with dust and ants. The native timber
suffered so much from the inroads of
these pests that, upon hearing that
yellow pine was used in Panama to
avoid them, a tri-tl of it was made on
the Antioquio Boad. Georgia pine
had to be shipped 1y way of New York,
at a cost of nearly 100 per 1000 feet,

buds, young- wo-'

this period the

nervous troubles,
which continue
through life, have
their origin at this
time. If there be
pain, headache, backache, and nervous dis
turbances, or the general health riot good,
the judicious use of medicine should be
employed. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-'

results from its use. It's .a remedy spe
cially indicated for those delicate' weak
nesses and derangements that afflict wo
menkind at one period or another.- You'll
find that the woman who has faithfully,
used the "Prescription' is the picture of
health, she loots well and she feels well.
In catarrhal inflammation, in chronic dis

are symptoms of backache, dizziness or

the trouble is surely dispelled and the
sufferer brought back to health and good

By a nimble leap tbe wanderer,'

cbancel, and there revealed itielf as
a tiger-striped kitten about six
months old. Tbe kitten's' and tbe
clergyman's eyes met. Tbe hi. Trilled
clergyman with great effort- contin
ued to read on, while tbe uncon
jerned kitten, with tall erect and
jars pricked, ga ed on him. with in
terest. Giving blra a w.nk she pa-sed
on to tbe chancel, entered the sanc
tuary, and with a bound reached tho
aliar. Not content " with thls'she
leaped to the bishop's chair and then
set' about adjusting herself to tho
surroundings by washing ber face.
The sound of the clergyman's voice,
however, s emed irresistible to her,
and, jumping over the bras chancel
rail, she leaped to the seat in front
of the reading desk at which he was
Kneeling. With the do e of the col
lect, "Lighten Our Darkness,"' the
choir, the congregation still knecl-
Inir, sang an antbe n. This interval
gave the dominie his coveted oppor
tunity to make a lunge for the cat.
Puss was happily purring 'ery loud,
but, seeing tbe attempt on her lib
erty, a nimble jump saved ber from
the clergyman's grasp.
W.th the close of the anthem canii
the resumption of pra..ers and also
the renewed peraniuulatl ns of
pussy, febe remounted the seat be
hind the clergyman, and to his hor
ror he felt her gently testing the sta
bility of his robe, appa ently feeling
bur ground for a leap. The on.y
place to leap was the clergyman's
back. Mho kitten eyed ber victim
critically and was about to leap when
she w.is start ed by tbe terrific yelp
(jl a dog which had somehow got into
the choir stall.
The kitten now turned her atten
tion to tbe.irgao,and peeping around,
aw her enemy. Her enemy saw her
at tbe same time. Each gazed In
tently In an apparent effort to hypno
tize tbe other, but the experiment
was cut short by the dog. who, with
a leap and yelp, m -de for the cat and
but fdr the vigorous 'scrambling of
the bassos tbe two would ba e had

clergyman and congregation.
The dog was held and the cat van
ished just as tbe swell ng sound of
the Onal "amen" brought the wor
shipers from their knees, many of
whom were entirely ignorant ot the
fearful ordeal through which their
pastor had gone during the space of
ten minutes of prayer.
