THE attorney was in a reflectlr. mood, as he walked from the of fice to his home. The afternoon had developed business of great Im portance, which would take him a thousand miles away during the next lx months. The lawyer, however, wat In love, and dreaded to leave the field free to his many rivals. As he walked along, he pictured him self in a certain pretty home uptown, laying his love and lucre at the feet of a charming woman, who, long ago, had come to be an esaential part of his ex istence. While he was thinking orer the situ ation and hurrying homeward, he was hailed with a business-like: "Ho. Farr; I want to speak to you a moment!" j Turning about he faced the speaker, a friend of his Junior partner; and In a few minutes they were deeply engaged In a discussion of some abstruse quea-1 Hon, concerning a case which was then Interesting a great many lawyers. I When the two parted, the one who bad hailed Farr handed the latter a ia.rH with a request that be would give It to Somerton. the Junior partner of the firm of "Farr & Somerton." In the j hurry of parting r arr took the cara ( wiwoui looKing at it, ana ouiy auer he had reached bis residence his mind ltt full Af thA mattni thav ha1 4?ia D kit. 1U VI lit- UIMlin lit! J uu u . 1 j cussed, did be think to glance at the bit of pasteboard. It should have borne j certain memoranda which Somerton desired; but was, however, quite blank, save for the engraved name of . the owner. With a slight smile at the . other's carelessness he tucked the card In his pocket. Supper over, he betook himself to pipe and slippers. Then, lounging com fortably in a big armchair before the study Are, he gave himself up to the in terrupted reflections of the afternoon. As a result of bis cogitations, before be retired a letter bad been written, ad dressed to "Miss Margaret Lamore." In it Miss Lamore was informed' that be would call the following evening on an urgent matter. The letter, perhaps, was a trifle stiff and business-like, but surely could not help being clear to a woman. So, at least, thought Farr, and be went to sleep that night t dream of a gracious woman and a suc cessful suit. The business of the next day put an and to any further air castles for the time being, but when evening came he lost no time In hurrying whither the letter bad gone. Arriving there, a ring brought the maid to the door a new maid Farr noticed. With his thoughts on the coming Interview, it was only in ft mechanical way that he gave her his card and asked to see Miss Lamore. A few moments' waiting, and then the girl returned to say. In a well-bred voice, that Miss Lamore had an Imme diate engagement and begged to be ex rased. Somewhat dazed by what he consid ered a rebuff, Farr left the house. Once moTO-Uerhla-owu roogJne con trived, wifhln an hour or two, by the aid of his pipe, to put himself in a mood which played havoc with senti ment. An early train the next day carried him rapidly away from his home and the woman who, a few hours earlier, bad been all In all to him. Now, how ever, he thought he had convinced him self that she was not worth the woo ing. Yet every single day of the next half year had Its full measure of bit terness, souring even the great suc cesses he met with. Not a single night bnt found him wearily praying for sleep, to drive away the vision of s proud, sweet woman who so persist ently haunted him. Sometimes he wear ied of both himself and the world, but be was obliged to live and meet his fellow-men, even If a woman had scorned bis love. Time passed, and the conclusion of his mission allowed bim to return home. But little more than six months from the day when Margaret Lamore bad made life seem so gloomy to him, he was once again in his native town. On the day of his return Somerton In sisted that be should dine wltb him at the earliest possible opportunity, and, of course, tired though he was. and de sirous of nothing beyond peace and melancboly qniet, he was compelled to acept the Invitation so warmly pressed upon him. Accordingly that evening found him on the way to the Somerton home. He must have forgotten that Mrs. Somerton and Miss Lamore were the most intimate friends, or, perhaps, it was natural to start when he found himself face to face with the latter in the Somerton parlor. That he did start was a fact quickly detected by Miss Lamore a fact also which naturally Increased her embarrassment. "Judging from your appearance, Mr. Farr," said she, "your health has not been much benefited by the Western trip." "I am afraid not," was bis answer; "the work was hard, and I did not go to it in the liest of spirits." This list with a glance intended to be full ot meaning. She saw the look. and. wondering ni It, colored. "Von loo!- s, ..-'..-r. n-. sin. 00" onuea. -mat 1 nave not tne near to scold as you deserve; yet you must have known how much I should re gret not seeing you before you took the trip.' The seeming effrontery of this took the power of speech from Farr, and the astonishment depicted on bis coun tenance brought a flush once more to the face of his fair companion. Seeing that he was not disposed to speak, she resumed: "You promised to call and then left without a word. I certainly did not ex pect It of you." Recovering himself a little at this. Fair told hrr, with as much dignity as possible, that she must have been deeply engrossed that summer day to have forgotten the card he had sent up 10 her. and the fact that she had plead ed an immediate engagement as an ex cuse for not seeing him. Then followed a period of polite and gentle contradiction. Mies Lamore firm ly instated that he had not seat SB his ardTand Farr as obstante persbrted ci . JSl wh-to in aaytnc that ha had. Whan, for ser- j era! minutes, they had aeenaed and a.bnsinM each other of forgetful- .

H had no new phrases in which to frame his thoughts; but the old, old words semed to satisfy her; for when dinner was announced there were at least tw people supremely happy among those who went arm in arm to the dining room. Somerton's friend. Barton, with whom Farr had held such a profound discussion on the day when the story opens, arrived In time to Join the party at dinner. When the meal waa well under way Barton, suddenly recollect ing, desired to know why and where fore Farr had so carelessly neglected to give bis partner the card which had been Intrusted to his care. Farr, In his new-found bapplneas, had little mem ory for such trifles, and forthwith Bar ton rehearsed the affair. Then, recall ing the incident, Farr said: "Ton are the one guilty of careless ness In giving me the wrong card. The one I did receive from yon bore no memoranda whatever; when I discov ered that fact I put the card In my pocket, and have not srt-n It since." I "I have," Interposed Miss Lamore. "The idea of your calling upon me and ! sending up Mr. Barton's card!" 1 A gleam of intelligence came into Varr ovpa and a nuick amlln naased between him and the charming girl be- ,de him, Then, with almost unseemly haste, they turned the conversation into safer channels.

Having sutdued Greece, the young king is now fairly launched on his career of con quest in Asia, to revenge the Persian onslaughts upon western civilization. One learns from tne piquant pages of bis latent biographer all that is to be known about one of the greatest men of all time; and the scenes and customs of tne ancient world are revived by many a graphic touch. Thus, the splendors of the court of Darius are brought before us in theee two brief paragraphs: The court of the kiug waa main tained with extraordinary dignity and splendor. The person of royalty waa surrounded with everything capable of giving It elevation, dignity, and charm In the eyes of the masses. Surround ed by a vast body of attendants, body guards, servants, eunuchs, and court officials, the king was removed aa far as' possible from the vulgar eye. He save audience seated on a golden throne, over which was stretched a baldachin of purple, supported on four golden pillars glittering with precious tones. In his presence his courtiers prostrated themselves in the dust. Who ever stood in his presence to address him hid his hands In the sleeves of bis mantle, as token of his abnegation of will to restrain or harm. He was never seen on foot. He sometimes appeared on horseback, more often In a chariot. Guards and scourges went before bis car to open the way. There followed I - -. oharlAta of Mlthra. and Magi carry ing the sacred fire.

Among his wives of second rank the first place was held by the daughter of Gobryas. who had borne bim three sons before he came to the throne. Below the sec ondary wives were the concubines, who formed a numerous body. Three hun dred and twenty concubines of the last Darius (IIL) were found among the ?aptives after Alexander's victory at I sens. The stories that passed current among the Greeks concerning the ex tent of the kings' retinue and the lav IshDess of their court, and which come to us particularly through the pages of Xenopbon In his "Cyrus' Education and Training" and of Plutarch in his Life of Artaxerxes, are the natural tribute which the wonder of a plainer people pays to the grandeur, luxury, and cir cumstance of an older civilisation.

An old way of poisoning criminals psed to be to compel them to awallow arge quantities of bulls blood, and It Is interesting to note how this acted us a means of causing death. Bull's blood is not a poison at all In the ordl- T sense of the word, but when It fnters the stomach It forms a coagulum. nd instead of the organ being filled with liquid, which might be ejected by vomiting.

The num ber of 2-cent stamps Issued during the year waa about 2,500,000,000. Such a number, obviously. Is beyond the grasp of the human mind, but perhaps the matter may be made more clear by pot ting it otherwise. An ordinary 2-cent stamp la exactly one Inch long. From this fact, by a lit tle calculation. It Is easy to discover that the number of stamps of this de nomination issued In 1P98, placed end to end, would extend a distance consid erably exceeding 39,000 miles. In other words, they would make a continuous trip of stamps, each one adorned with the head of the father of his country, stretching in a belt more than once and a half around the equator. Of course, though the 2-cent stamps are those principally used, there are others. Enough 1-cent postage stamps have been Issued during the year 1898 to stretch from New York City, by wsy of Europe and Asia, to Bombay, India, if similarly arranged in one strip. All other stamps, as to production and sales, are of minor Importance compar atively speaking, but it is interesting to know that almost exactly one mile of $1 stamps were manufactured for the demand of 1898. Of ?5 stamps the production was equivalent to a little more than half a furlong, or about one fifteenth of a mile. Now, if all the postage stamps print ed by the United States Government In . , , .,.. 1898 were placed one on top of another, as neatly as might be without putting them under pressure, how high do you suppose the pile of them would bel There Is no use guessing; you would never get it nearly right, unless you went to work to calculate it for your self. The 3.500,000,000 stamps of all denominations printed during the cur rent year the statement, of course, la aproxitnate would tower to an eleva tion of twenty-one miles. This Is mors than three times the height of the high est mountain In the world Mount Everest, in the Himalayas. If the same number of stamps was piled up In the form of the ordinary sheets of 100 hun dred each. It follows that the stack would be over a fifth of a mile high. During the year 1S98 the number of special delivery stamps sold was about 5,250,000. It Is only reasonable to sup pose that the average journey of the special delivery messenger Is half a mile. Indeed, that Is nu absurd under estimate; but let it go at that. On this assumption the total distance traveled for special delivery in 1898 was about 2,625,000 miles. That is a very consid erable space to traverse, ns may be realized when It is considered that a messenger boy, in order to accomplish that total distance, would have to go about 1,000 times around the world, or five times to the moon and back. It appears, from figures furnished by the Postoffice Department, that the average person In Mnssachusetts, lu eluding men, women and children, . lumbia third with $2.1(1 Colorado Is fourth with $1.93, and Connecticut is fifth with $1.80. The States ranking lowest in this regard are South Caro- Una, with 25 cents per capita; Missis sippi, with 34 cents; Alabama, with 35 cents; Arkansas, with 37 cents; and North Carolina, with 41 cents.

A writer in the Churchman gives the following Interesting account of old time toys: We find In the old museum of Leyden several ancient toys, like our jumping jacks and monkeys which climb a stick. There is also a man mak ing bread; and, if we could pull the string, his jointed body and arms would bend and roll the lump of dough on tin inclined table. In a visit to the British Museum we have seen little baskets made of the fibers of the palm, some worked In colors, musical Instruments, dolls, draughtsmen of various sizes generally conical, with globular tops; one has the head of a cat, others are pyramidal, while under one is the fig ure of a Jackal. Here one can see a Qreek dancing doll made of terra cotta, which was found near by the famous battlefield of Marathon. Here also is a rudely modeled doll, with curious looking hair made of strings of tiny black beads dangling from its small, round bead, which was found In tbe mummy case of a little Egyptian prtn ress who died two thousand years be fore Christ. And In the museum of the New York Historical Society can be seen some Interesting ancient toys in Dr. Abbott's collection of Egyptian an tiquities. Thus we have learned that there never was a time In history when children did not have their much-loved playthings. Oar Clnb. We're going to have the mostest fun!

Newa of the Santiago Naval Battle Astonished the Austrian. When the American fleet was operat ing in Cuban waters foreign men-of-war occasionally happened along to see what was going on. It chanced that, very soon after the vessels of Sampson and Schley had destroyed Cervera's fleet, an Austrian Ironclad hove in sight. The Indiana steamed out to meet It, and soon a boat, with a lieutenant, left the Austrian to visit the Indiana. The Washington Star tells the story: The Austrlans had heard nothing but a distant cannonading, which might have, been salutes. The lieutenant's visit was merely one of ceremony. His countenance betrayed astonish ment when he came atioard, and saw the decks blackened with powder, and men and officers begrimed and covered with perspiration; but he asked no questions until he was conducted to the Captain's room, and found it filled with the stifling smoke of gunpowder. Then the Austrian officer asked Captain Tay lor what sucb a stats of things indi cated." "It Indicates," answered tbe Captain, "that we havs jast engaged the ene my. "What? Oarverar" "The same." "But what were your looses r "None." "But where la the gpaniah leetT" The Austrian waa now thoroughly ex cited. "Come np on tha poop and I will show yon," said Captain Taylor. They steamed ln the direction of tha shore, and the Austrian officer had his glasses leveled. "There Is one, and there another, and a little out of view, there is tha Cristo bal Colon," said Taylor, pointing ont first one Spanish wreck and then an other. The Austrian, whose sympathies were undoubtedly with the Spaniards, waa shocked beyond expression at this pic ture, typical and declaratory of tha ruin of a nation. The Americans re spected his feelings, and he departed la silence. Kleotrio Motor Wtfoos.
