VST JESSICA had been round the l world more than ' once. She bad been what la vulgarly called a "globe trot ter." In her day shs bed collected maiiy rare and curi ous and beautiful things; but now she was an old woman, and her time was come to die in the great silent bouse, filled with the furni ture that had belonged to Aunt Jessi ca's forbears many score years ago, ami enrichiMl by the spoils of many lands, brought home by the energetic hands of Aunt Jessica herself. Thers was one treasure above all that I covered, and that I would bare sold my soul to have had for my own my cousin Edith. As for the money well, I am not more disinterested than inoat people; but I would rather have had Edith without a penny than all Aunt Jessica's monoy without Edith. William and Bertram and I were sit ting In the dining-room. Edith waa above, helping poor aunt in the hard work of dying. Three raps came on the floor. We know they were a signal that we were to go up, and that aunt had asked for us; and up we went. "I have left everything divided sntong you four," she said; "and the ruby heart Is to go to -whichever of you three boys can find It." She spoke slow ly ar.J with difficulty. I remembered the Jolly old days when she used to come and soe us at school and tip us, and I wished that death and time could have been more merciful. She went on. "You know it has a charm to make you happy In your love. It would have made me happy, but he died, and it hadn't a change to do its work; and now my time's come It has been weary waiting." And with that the first and last hint we ever bad of a romance In my aunt's life she turned her wrinkled old face to the pillow with a sigh like a tired child's, and there were only four of us .left in the room. After the funeral and the reading of the will we three men set to work to find the charm. "I shall take the library and aunt's bed-room fir.-Jt," said Bertram. As these were the rooms she had most used, I Imagine he thought he had made the best choice. "You other fel lows can arrange as you Hke!" William chose the drawing-room and the gucat chamber, and they took the whole day searching systematically Inch by inch for the ruby heart. I be- -gaifWlook in the dining-room, but Edith came In. "Do you care so very much for the ruby heart?" said she. "I confess I should like to find It," I answered. Shall I help you to look?' She pulled out a book or two from the shelves In an aimless, desultory way, and then said: "It's very sunshiny out of doors, don't you think?" So we went on the river. The nexa day I began to look for the heart again. Edith sent ber duenna companion (who had once been her governess) to ask me If I did not think It would be nice to drive. Of course I - - said I thought it would, and off we went. That evening sh aked Bertram and William if they would Hke to come out next day to see some ruins. "Thanks," said Bertram, "but I think my first duty to my poor aunt's mem ory Is to find that heart." "Besides," said William, who never had much sentiment, like Bertram, "it's worth thousands of pounds, I believe." "To say nothing of the charm," I added. "But you'll come, Wilfrid?" she said, Iooklng at me with her soft gray eyes. Of course," I anftwereS. Bertram and William scowled at me. They would have given their ears, their liven, anything, in short, bnt their chances of a ruby heart worth thou sands of pounds for the privilege that was to be mine to-morrow. To le In love with cousin Edith was a mode, a fashion, among us. Besides, Edith was now an heiress. "As soon as I have fulfilled dea! aunt's last wishes," said Bertram he tallied, the silly fool, as if aunt bad wished him to find the heart "I shall be only too glad to accompany my cousin Edith on any excursion she may proijose." "So shall I," said William. So Edith and I went to the ruins alone together. "I hope it does not seem like disre spect to poor aunt's memory," she said, as we drove snugly back in the dog cart luru evening, "our going out like this. " Knt 1 couldn't bear to stay In the old house alone where she was so kind to me. It s iH'tter to go out, and I m sure she would have wished it." I felt that it was foolish of me noi to make an effort to find the ruby heart So next morning I got up very early and came down before the servant .vere about. I had pulled out half the drawers of the Chinese cabinet am! looked Into them, when my heart leap ed into my mouth at the touch of a hand on my shoulder Edith's! "Still after that wretched ruby!" she said. "How you waste your time!" "Why? Don't you think I shall find : t ' "I don't know," she said, looking at :ne with her eyes wide open, "but I don't think you will find it there, be cause Bertram has been through that three times already. Did you ever eel strawberries before breakfast and gather them yourself." So we went into the kitchen garden and ato strawberries till the gong ran for breakfast. Bertram and William were getting quite sulky and savage from the non-success of their search, and the little time I bad devoted to It annoyed them. "I believe," aald Bertram, with an air of amtJ. Ute orardona, "that bssurt Is, and ba Im era pat koto oo It a any moment -I -n I coufcL" I "Bo do I." aald Bdstft, alona hi same breath. -Yon wish Wilfrid to find tba bautr amid WUHajn. "Why?" "Oh. no. I dont mean Wilfrid; 1 meant a least Well, we ahaU all 1m (bad when if a settled one wavy or other, shan't we?" I had never told Edith X loved hen because I didnt know how my aool waa to leave her money, and it Edits was ta be actress of the whole but anyone will understand my reason. It was a week after 'MoTs funeral that I went Into the rose farden, where Edith was snipping roses Into a bas ket. Tve been looking for the heart again," I said, "bnt I haven't found It" "No," she answered, "and I dont su pose yon will. Would a Gloire de DiJi be any compensation?" ' She began to stick one In my ooat a ahe spoke. Her slender wolsrt. In Its black gown, was very nesx my left arm, where she stood. "I will take the bud," I soM, "bat not as compensation for the heart' "Don't you think," she asked me, 'that It might be possible to Bve hap pily without a charm to help yon?" "No," I said, "not without a charm to help you. But ruby hearts are no the only charms in the world." My arm fell on her waist. "Let them find their ruby heart! lie. them chop it into pieces and divide It between them and sell the Was," said 1. "And you are content with what yon have?" she asked. . ' "I am content with what I have," I answered, and my other arm went round ber. They never found that ruby heart, though the poor old bouse was tapped and tested from top to bottom. At last, wearied out, they took the portion of goods that fell unto them and went, fortunately for us. Into a far country. And Edith and I were married. We didn't go on a wedding tour, but came straight back to the dear old house. On the evening of our wedding day we walked In the moonlight through the rose garden to listen to the night ingales. I stopped to hold ber In my arms on the very spot where I had first kissed ber, and the light shawl she wore round her head and shoulders fell back. "What's that you have round yout neck?" I said, for something darkened amid the white laces on her breast. She did not answer. I pot up my band, touched with a thrill the white ness of ber neck, and found In my fin gers the ruby heart! "Then she gave it to you," I said; "it Is yours?" "She gave rt Into my keeping," an swered Edith, dropping her chin till her Hps rested on my hand; "but she left It to the man who should find it." "And I have found it here!" The Argosy. FIFTEEN DAYS IN OPEN BOAT. Terriablo Experience of Crew of Kin kora in Making; Acapulco. While the sailing vessel Kinkara was ! on ner way rrom V ancouver io ou ' don she sprang a leak. All hands pumped till April 27, when the crew went to Captain McMurtry and refused to- pump any longer. He decided to make for Cllpperton Island, 200 miles oil. Late on April 29 the island was lighted. There were three men on the island and the stars and stripes were flying. The prt lifeboat was pulled through the surf. She capsized, but the six men managed to swim ashore. When the crew were next able to visit the ship two days afterward every thing was under water. The Island be longed to the Oceanic Phosphate Com pany of San Francisco, and the three men had been on It since September of last year. There was not a tree of any kind and not the slightest vegeta tion. After being on the Island eigh teen days, and no schooner turning up, the Americans said it might be next September before the vessel would ar rive. So Captain McMurtry and his crew decided to put off in their two boats for Acapulco, In Mexico, distant about TOO miles. When the shipwrecked people were on the Island they caught quantities of fish, which, with gannet eggs, was their chief means of subsistence. One of the boats got smashed in the water. It was agreed that the mate, Mr. Mc Murtry (who was a brother of the com mander), Mr. Snape and six seamen should go. They calculated they would take twelve days to reach Acapulco; they took fifteen. For the first six days and nights they had very heavy tropical rains, with nothing to shelter thorn; sleeping ot waking they were drenched. When the gun came out In the day it was scorch ing hot The men arrived at Acapulco on June 3. They never saw a sail during the fifteen days, but the day before they got In they saw smoke rising at a dla tancs. It was from H. M. S. Amphion, which left Acapulco the day before they arrived. Had the Amphion seen them it would have saved H. M. S. Comus going to Cllpperton Islands. They were about forty days on the Isl and when the Comus rescued them.

It was a cold, rainy evening, and the Buckbee family were seated around a cheerful fire, popping corn and telling stories. "Now, grandpa, you tell one," they cried. Grandpa appeared to be gTer-tiy surprised, but after seating Johnnie oi his knee, he began as follows: "When I was a small boy I lived In the State of Maine, many miles from here. "Behind our house was a large or chard with a brook running through It. "One afternoon I wandered down to this brook. I filled my pockets with apples and sat down to eat thero. "Somehow I fell asleep. However, I was soon awakened by a strange sound, and saw close beside me a what do you think?" asked grandpa. "A bear," cried Willie. "A lion," said Fannie. "No," said grandpa, "I saw a beautl .ul little fairy." "She had a very soft voice and I lis tened attentively to what she said. " Ton are under my enchantment,' she whispered, 'and are bound to hunt for me until ri find me. The place where I live Is called California and is far from here.' "Then I awoke and found It was only i dream; but the beautiful face and words still haunted me. "I wrote the name that then seemed ro strange to me on a large piece of paper and hung It In my room that I might not forget it. "And 60 time passed on, still leaving me under the dream-fairy's enchant ment. "At last, when I was a young man, about 20 years old, there was great ex citement ebout a piece of land 'way out West,' so ran the report, 'where gold was to be fouad In great abundance.' "A great deal of this land was ownec by Spaniards, and it was named Gail fornia, after one of their legends. "You can imagine how I felt. I rush ed up to my room and took from mj bureau drawer a crumpled piece of pa per, yellow with age, on which wai written In a boyish hand, 'California.' "Yes, It was true, and now I could find my fairy. "A month later I started for the GoJd en West, as It was called. You must remember that there was no railroad from Maine to California, and so It was not till after many months of hard traveling that I arrived there. "To us weary travelers California was an ideal place a land flowing with milk and honey. "One day I was working In my mine. It was the same kind of a day as tba one when I had my dream, and some how I kept tUnking of It I bad not y ound my fairy, and was sorely dis couraged about It - "Crash! What was that? A bouldei had fallen. I sprang to my feet and looked around. There on the rocks lay the form of a young girl; and, oh, Joy" here grandpa became so excited hi could hardly speak "there was th face I had so long been hunting for; it was very pale and the beautiful golden hair hung all around It "I picked up my fair bnrden and hastily carried ber to the nearest camp "I need not tell you any more, but 11 you want to see my fairy you had bet ter look at grandma. .

She has told them that one of the best means of securing health and retaining it is plenty of outdoor exer cise. She told them this very slowly, emphasising each word as she pro ceed el. "Understand, children," she sold, "one of the best things to keep us well Is plenty of outdoor exercise. Plenty of outdoor exercise." "Nov, Helen," she said, "what Is ona of the best things to keep us well?" Helen has Ideas of her own on a great Miany subjects. "Plenty of warm milk before break fast !" she shouted.

The old building on Court street, known as the Parsons tavern, which is celebrated as the hostelry where George Washington stopped at least once in passing through Springfield, la now being torn down to make room for a modern tenement block. It was prob ably the second oldest building In town, and has been used for a tenement house of late years. The bulldlns was one of the taverns of revolutionary days and was about 150 years old. It stood, when built, on the southeast corner of the present Court square. It was a barge structure for those days, three stories in front with a short roof sloping forward from the ridge pole and a long meandering roof sloping to the rear and cutting the house off at the second story. Just be fore the sheds and "L's" began. By whom it was built Is not a matter of record. The work was honestly done, howerer. Great hand-hewn timbers formed the framework and were Joined by wooden pegs. Every nail, hinse, brace, or other bit of Ironwork was band-forged. All the woodwork that was meant to show was fluted, chiseled or molded. Even the narrow clapboards had a molded edge and were grooved. No paint ever touched their sturdy sides or any part of the exterior of the old house to any extent, and the shag gy, weather-worn appearance which resulted added much to the attractive ness of the building. The present site of Court square was always the center of attraction for the town. There were the church, the court house, the whipping post, and most of the trading scops. Auctions were held there, and on training day aU congregated near the old Parsons tavern, where the young men would try wrestling. Consequently the tavern was always a rendezvous and a place where goa lp dwelt in company with flipirone and toddy. It appears that Zeuas Pareons was the first host, and from him the tavern took Its name. It was while he was landlord that on Oct. 21. 17i, Washington spent the night in the tavern while on a visit to New England. The great man slept In the second story frot room to the right as one dim-bed the stairs. The record In his dairy reads: "Col. Worthlngton, Ool. Williams, Adjutant General of th State of MuAchusett; Gen. Shtard, Mr. Lyman, and many other fcentieanea sat an hour or two with me at Par sons' tavern, where I lodged, and which is a good house." From which it should scout that Geu. Washington was pleancd, with his entertainment. E Ten before Washington csme tht tavern had bad a distinguished trans lent. When John Adams returned from the sessions of Congress in Philadel phia, In November, 1775, be dined with Landlord Parsons and Capt. Pynchon. Mr. BIIas and Ool. Worthinjrton vWlted him. What ether famous guests Mr. Parsons had Is untold. He died as th century went out, and Eleazer Will lams, slow and dignified, succeeded him. Later en, when James Monroe at President eame to Springfield, he wai cared for by Landlord John BeBnertt Sprl&gfie!d Republican.

WHAT KEEPS THE SUN HOT. It Will Probably Keep Warm fo Twenty Million Teara. . According to the most recent Investi gations, the temperature of the sun li somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 de grees centigrade, and there are reasons for believing that for hundreds of thousands, perhaps for millions, of years, It has been radiating heat Into space with no appreciable loss of tem perature. Were the sun simply a cooling mass of stone or metal It must agea ago have lost both Its beat and Its light; were It a globe of burning carbon It can easily be calculated that It would have burned out In about 6,000 years. Where, then, does It get its beat supply ? Is a question frequently asked. We are so accustomed to regard fire, combustion, as the principal source ot heat, or at any rate of Intense heat, that ft is not easy to reallae that then may be other sources, equally abund ant, from which the sun may obtain Its Ierennlal supply of this article. As tronomer long since discarded the idea that there la any sort of combustion go ing on in the sun. , Its heat la, more probably, of that sort known In physics as mechanical beat heat that is produced by fric tion, by hammering or compression We axe familiar enough with the first two sources, though ordinarily th amount of heat which we perceive M be thus developed is not great, but beat produced by compression is not so often brought to our notice. From a variety of experiments, however, it can b shown that whenever a metal, as a piece of lead, or the air, or, Indeed, any gas, Is forcibly compressed heat If e. olved, and this Is the source to which Gastronomers are now Inclined to look Sor tbe main supply of the solar en- .

T h sun might contract at this rate for sev eral thousand years before there would be any diminution of Its slsa percepti ble even through a telescope. 1 course, this process has a limit to it, and eventually the sun, having become too dense to contract further, must be gin to cool off, but net for some 10,000,- 000 or 20,000,000 years, soys Lord Kel vin. Once WaatedL . Modern man Is gradually waking up to tho fact that he can utilize every thing. Coal is not only a source of heat and light, but a storehouse of colors, tastes, roodldnes, perfumes and explosives.

J g8wgCCCCs3CC66CC66CsCCCCSCCCC6C'swCJ OUT OF THE FIRE. The ObeeUemee of the Herae Saved Ills Life. The common belief that horses in a burning building ore always panic stricken and refractory, not recognis ing their friends and refusing obedi ence to those who would rescue them. Is not strictly trus, as is proved by sjs Incident related by a Youth's Compan- Ion contributor. Tbe governor bad a fine black drlv lng horse called Dexter. Although strong and spirited. Dexter was docile and obedient, and was petted and made much of by his master. As the govern or kept no other horse. Dexter bad tha stable all to himself, with a clean stall and a full manger. The stable was near tbe house, and In addition to Dexters stall and harness-room, contained a large carrlage rrom, an oat-bin, and a haymow over the stall. One night, when the family and the servants were away from home and the governor was In the house alone, he was awakened by an ominous crackling and a bright glare en his chamber window, and before he could collect his sleepy wits be was startled by a cry unlike any sound he had ever heard. As he sprang out of bed the cry came again, and hastening to the window he learned the cause. The stable was all ablaxe, and out of the smoke and flames Dexter was calling bis master to bis rescue. Pausing only to don coat and slip pers, tbe governor rushed out. The outside door of the stable leading Into the stall was already blocked by flames, and tha only entrance to be had waa through the carriage-room, tbe harness-room and a narrow entry lead ing past the oat-bin. These rooms were on Ore overhead, and burning wisps of hay and shingles were raining down In showers. Blinded by smoke, tbe governor . stumbled along the roundabout way, and reaching the stall sooner than he expected, fell headlong down the steps against the excited animal, who was vainly tugging at his baiter. Thinking j some new danger threatened him, Dex-1 ter gave a mighty kick that sent bis j master sprawling and lamed him for , a month. "Whoa, Dexterl" shouted the govern or. "Don't you know me, sir? Steady now. old fellow, and we'll get out of this." Recognizing his master's voice. Dex ter turned hla head toward the pros trate man and uttered a coaxing whin ny quite unlike his previous loud cries of alarm. Knowing he need fear no more kicks, the governor crept up and cut the halter, and calling Dexter to follow him, limped blindly through tho smoke-filled entry and the two blazing rooms beyond. ' And close after him went Dexter, his nose pressed against his master's shoulder, man and horse reaching the safe outer air together. "It was Dexter's obedience that saved him," said the governor. "I could not lead him, and had be shown the least obstinacy, or any less readiness to fol low nt i -word through frH-ttea round-. about, unaccustomed way, I min -vs lert mm to perisn in rne names. tup.mur viair he followed like a well-trained soldier. ! l885? and we escaped from our burning, flery furnace almost as safelv as Shadracb.

Surely, you would not have me crowd the worthy men who are lower down." Boston Transcript. JUST THE BOOil CONDENSED ENCYCLOPEDIA treats apoa abont erary aabjeet nnder the sun.
