A MEMORY.
A wail of a child at. midnight.
The chime of a minster bell,
Tbe sorrowful moan of a sorrowing soul,
. And the sound of a passing knell.
An old worn book, on a corner shelf.
And a spray of faded yew, .
A locket with hair all golden and fair.
And a ribbon of faded blue.
A needle-case, both empty and old.
And a case with hidden spring.
Wherein two golden watch keys lie,
A heart and a wedding ring.
I take the book from the corner shelf,
And the ribbon of faded blue.
And before me stands the form I loved,
With hair of a golden hue.
And I gaze so long In those earnest eyes.
That my soul grows weak with pain,
Then she fades away and I gently lay
The old book down again.
Every Other Saturday.
VANE'S MANOEUVRE.

V rers. looking ui from

stowing a lovely smile upon the young
man.
"The same," sighed Vane, as he
cleared a chair of two paint brushes
and a saucer of oily water. "Where
should I be when I bare a moment to
spare. If not here?"
He grinned amusedly as his great
shoulders came against the straight
rods of the "show chair," and the frag
ile thing groaned under bis weight
"Why don't you hare some substan
tial chairs?" he asked teaslngly.
ny don t you take anu-ratr re
torted Miss Ferrers, sharply.
Vane whistled under his breath.
Don t let my presence keep you
from your work at all." he said with a
spice of sarcasm In his tones.
Miss Ferrers laughed.
"As If it erer did, you dear boy!" she
(aid, dabbling away busily at her can
vas. "That's Just the jolly thing about
you, Teddy, one doesn't hare to look
out for your comfort, or see that you
are entertained."
"Thanks," remarked Vane, musingly.
He moved his chair round to a posi
tion whence he could see the chic little
figure on the high bench before the
easel. In spite of their continual bick
erings and fallings out, the little figure
was the dearest In the world to Vane.
He became aware, presently that the
hazel eyes of Miss Ferrers were quizzi
cally returning his regard.
"What's on your mind. Teddy?" she
asked, smiling again and causing two
tantalizing dimples to dance about het
lips. "If you've come away from work
Just to ask me to marry you, I tell you
again, I won't That Joke's worn
threadbare, dear boy. If wa hadn't

Teddy! Tou Interfere with my work."
She took up her brush again and went
back to her painting.
"If you're bothered, you're done It
yourself, and never given me half a
chance," Vane said In Injured tones.
"You're too prone to Jump at conclu
sions. Glad. As to marrying, I don't
come to ask you that I told you that
the tenth time would be the last and
you said 'No' then, you remember."
He stopped for a moment tbe more
fully to enjoy the p'rJfcflnah that would
"I've got all orer caring for girls. It'
dogs -this time. Glad."
He mored hla chair a little closer tc
hers and talked eagerly.
"Dick Story's father's got hold of
some beauty Saint Bernard pups. I
didn't know but you might care to go
for a look at them."
He had said his little say, and sub
sided contentedly.
Miss Ferrers waited patiently for the
color to die out of her cheeks.
"H'm!" she said, meditatively
"Thanks, rery much. I should be
pleased, I'm sure. Saint Bernards are
such picturesque animals. Should you
make this Nabnnt cottage red or white,
Teddy V
"Red," answered Vane, promptly,
rising and going orer to take a look at
the sketch.
Miss Ferrers proceeded deliberately
to make the cottage a white blot on
the landscape. She was wondering,
with a little hurt feeling at her heart
if he had really done caring for her, and
Vane, towering over her, was not look
ing at the sketch at all, but rather at
the ruffled golden hair and fair face,
with an expression In his honest blue
eyes that Gladys, with all her quick,
bright glances, had never been able tc
surprise from him.
There was a sudden rustling of silken
skirts in the hall, and the studio door
was opened to admit a dainty little
lndy.
Flitting across the room she be
stowed a kiss upon Gladys, and a
bright, comprehensive glance upon
Vane.
"I'm In trouble, sister," she 6ald,
leaning against Miss Ferrers' shoulder.
"Oh, dear, I've left poor Horace out
side!" She ran back to the door and
swnng It open. "Come In, dearie," she
eared. -
Her husband having entered and de
posited a large basket on the floor,
and himself in an easy chair, the little
woman dropped to the edge of a divan,
and balancing herself there with ex
treme nicety, heaved -a great sigh.
"What's in the hamper?" asked
Gladys, smiling over at her brother. '
The little woman broke into explann
tioiis.
"You Jiint can't think, Gladys," slit
lH-gan hurriedly. "Poor dear Horace
is called to New York on business. lit
must go to-day. so lie's taking rne with
him and our help Is going to visit her
oeople."
"That disposes of the family, then,"
Vane put In, smiling across at the anx
ious little woman.
"That's Just what it doesn't" replied
her husband, trying to frame a smile.
"You forget Van Winkle."
Gladys regarded her sister with a
frown of disapproval.
"Surely you won't leave Van Win
kle behind." she said.
"Surely Van Winkle Is Dot going U
New York with me," answered the hus
band, quickly. "I'm not the man to
carry a heavy cat In a hamper, three or
four days, through the streets of New
York, or to put him up at a hotel and
listen to his howls at night"
"But Van Winkle doesn't howl," pro
tested his wife. "He's a dear, pcaee
ibie cat and you know it, Mr. Parks!"
"Weil, the dear, peaceable cat can't
go with us. that's all," finished her hus
band, fiercely.
"I could leave him with auntie, only
she la so very forgetful, and she leaves
so, much to Bridget" There were teari
in the little woman's eyes as she turned
toward Vane. "We've had him for
even years, Ned." ahe aald, smiling
through her tears. Tflrer since we
were mamea, you know, and Angorat
are so Bhoi t-lived. too. If Van Winkle
were lost It would just break my
heart
"1 understand," assented , Vane,
gravely. "And now you propojc "
"To lrave Uim with Gladys for t
few days," Interrupted the little wo
man, easterly. "We're fetched him in
the hamper, Glad. Let Van Winkle
out Horace, dear I'm sure Gladys is
happy to do this for sister, aren't you.
dearie ?"
There was silence for a moment 01
two during which MIsa Ferrers pen
lively eyed tbe silver gray Angora.
"I s'pose I am awfully wicked," she
said at length. "Helgho! Well, I ac
cept my punishment"
She took up her brush resignedly and
turned to her painting.
"But Glad dearest, I want yon to
listen to me for a moment'' expostula
te! tbe little woman.
Fire minutes later she wound up her
remarks by saying:
"You'll be very careful and not trust
him to auntie or Bridget, won't you.
Glad? It would just make me 111 to
lose him, and I couldn't keep house, I
know."
Gladys shrugged her shoulders. Im
patiently. "I think I ought to understand," she
said, rather crossly. "Feed him three
times a day one-eighth of a pound of
stewed liver and one gill of milk; let
him sleep by the kitchen range at night
wash his face in the morning, or he
will be out of sorts, and be sure not to
let him get out That's all. Isn't It?
If yon say another thing, I declare I
won't keep him! Now go, do, before
you drive me quite frantic."
"But Glad," put In the little woman,
"Van Winkle is such a pet Why, ev
ery morning '
"My dear," Interrupted her husband,
"our train leaves In twenty minutes."
Whan they had finally gone, and
Vane found himself free to do so, he
laughed heartily.
"That fixes the Saint Bernards, I
guess, he ventured. "They don't go
well with cats, do they. Glad?"
"Don't be so perfectly sillyl" said
Miss Ferrers, severely. "And I'll thank
you not to laugh at my relatives."
Vane hummed a popular air and
sauntered about the room, inspecting
the sketches that adorned Its burlap-
covered walls. Finally he came round 1
to the little figure on the bench.
"To-morrow the dad is sending me to
Washington for three whole weeks of
business," he said, dismally. "Won't
you tell a fellow you're sorry?"
"I'm sorry," said Misa Ferrers, very
shortly.
' Vane looked down at her for a mo
ment, then drew himself up to bis ex
treme height
"I'm glad," he said, abruptly, "ex
tremely so."
Without another word he left the
room. Miss Ferrers stared after him
in surprise.
'I really think he has tired of me,"
be said at length, with a faint attempt
at a smile.
During the first day . of his. exile,
Van Winkle conducted himself aa well
aa might hare been expected. It was
almost the close of the second day,
when Aunt Theo and Mlsa Ferrers
were sipping their afternoon tea, that
they first missed him. With the aid of
long-suffering Bridget the little bouse
was searched from garret to cellar. No
Van Winkle waa forthcoming. The
fact was that discovering the door
leading out to tbe storm porch to be
-''''nMpedjintJnid himself.
. . .-a, "and fallen
asleep. ' After that some one had closed
the Inner door, tearing him In the
porch.
It happened that Vane bad been de
layed a day In his trip, and having re
pented his hasty leare-taklng of Miss
Ferrers, had called to tell her as much.
So it was that wheq he opened the door
boldly and stepped Into the porch. Van
Winkle, 'suddenly seeing the world be
fore him, took to bis heels and ran
away as fast as erer he could, with
Vane close upon him.
As Vane gained on him Van Winkle
grew the more frightened, and finally I
subsided and crouched shivering in the j
snow. Vane put two big hands
weightily upon him, and gathering him
up, was about to return him to the
house when It struck him suddenly
that it would be a good little Joke on
Gladys if she thought for a little that
Van Winkle was really lost
He went up to a side of the veranda,
and lifting the hinged end ever so little,
thrust Van Winkle In, and dropped the
board again. Then be presented him
self at the' door.
All was confusion. Bridget with' a
irow, was scratching at all the dark
orners of the hall, and heaping abu
ilve langauge upon all coon cats.
Aunt Theo with her glasses on
wrong side up and a much bejidldcred
expression on her pretty old face, was
wringing her hands silently.
Gladys herself, who had led tbe hunt
was gathered In a miserable little heap
5n the staircase, crying bitterly.
Sh looked up for a moment at the
lound of Vane's voice.
"What Is It7 What's the trouble?"
he asked Aunt Theo, grarely.
"Oh, Teddy," sobbed the voice from
the staircase, "you know Bhe said it
would break her heart, and there were
:ears in her eyes, too, Teddy!"
"Cut what's the matter?" again
asked Vane.
"Van Winkle is lostl" walled Miss
Ferrers. "Oh, to think It should hap
pen when I Oh, 1 wouldn't have
iad It' happen for anything in the
world. They're had him seren years.
Oh!"
Vane looked grave enough.
"I say, Gladys, don't alt there: get
;-.p and find the cat," he said.
"But we've hunted the whole house
iver," moaned Miss Ferrers.
"H'm! Go outside and look ror nim.
He won't have gone far in this !
uen
-ow. He's too pampered. 1 11 wax
ant we can find him."
There was muglc In the Httle pronons

"Oh, Teddy," gasped Miss Ferrers,
smiling at him through her tears, "If
,uly you will help nie, I'll do anything
a the world I can for you! I'll even
aiarry you!" she cried triumphantly.
Vano shrugged his shoulders.
"H'm! You've promised that before
and failed," he said. Indifferently.
Nevertheless he went out of the
house, and round and round the lawn,
searching diligently. .When, finally, he
thought a plausible length of time had
elapsed, he went back to the piazza,
and lifting the lattice end, ever so lit
tle, seized Van Winkle, and tucking the
frightened creature under hia arm
strode Into the house. '
So one was to be seen save Gladys,

who was groping with an umbrella ban- R
die under an old locker in tbe aittlng
room, and sprang up with a cry of de-1
light when Vane said:
"Here he la. Glad I guess youll find
him all right"
Gladys hugged the restored treamir I
to her breaat as Joyfully aa ever Tat
slater could have done.
"Oh, Teddy, you're such -a comfort!
be said, hearing a sigh of relief. '
"Thanks," said Vane. "By tbe way,
be went on aobcrly, "I came over to
say that I waa sorry I went off in such
a huff yesterday. We've been such
good familiar friends all our lives, that
I forget sometime that you aren't my
sister. I hope youH forgive me for be
ng such a boor."
"Certainly." Gladys aald smiling, and
wondering in her heart what he meant
by such politeness.
"You forget what I promised yon If
yon found Van Winkle, Teddy," she
said, rallying him on his good conduct
"Oh, never mind that" Vane laughed
carelessly. "I know better than to try
to bold yon to your promisee."
"But I meant It Teddy," urged Miss
Ferrers, causing the tantalizing dim
ples to play about her sinking lips.
"Yes, no doubt" Vane said ruefully.
"We'll speak at more length on the
subject when I have returned from
Washington. Until then, good-by.
fJIad."
.He offered bis hand In a quiet, friend
ly way.
"Good-by, Teddy." said Miss Ferrers,
still smiling, and thinking In her heart
that she liked the old boisterous Vane
much more than this proper young fel
low. When he had gone out of the room
and she had heard the outer door close,
she put her face down on the lid of tbe
piano and kept It there for two or three
nlnntes. - - -
"Oh, Teddy, Teddy, Teddy," she said
brokenly, "I meant every word of the
promise. I did! I did!"
"Did you?" asked a familiar voice
"lose at band.
Gladys started up. Vane stood close
by her, his handsome young face cov
ered with smiles. An angry flush
burned the tears from her eyes.
"You mean, deceiving creature!" slip
xclalnicd.
- "Did you?" he asked again, slipping
his arm about her. --
"Yes. I did!" answered Miss Ferrers,
crossly. Wa verier.

. Kenneth'a Debt.
"Mother, I want It Just drtail.uJj .
tnd It don't cost but a quarter."
But Kenneth's mother only replied
patiently, as she had done several
times before:
'I am sorry, dear, but I can't give
you even a quarter."
'All the same. I am going to have
that rooster," Kenneth proclaimed to
the younger children, who gathered
around him. "I never can hare any-
hlng. Mother could gire me that quar
:er Just as well as not" In his heart
ie knew that this charge was not true,
Out it made him feel better to say so.
When the children came trooping in
to supper that night Ray ran to her
aiother, her blue eyes shining with ex
citement "Mother, mother. Kenneth got the
banty rooster, and the coop is all made
for It; and blmeby he's going. to have a
hen and lots of little chickens and sell
tbe ecrgs and buy a tarui, and we're all
going to live there."
Kenneth looked somewhat defiant as
he took his seat; but when bis mother
said gravely,, "Where did you get that
rooster, Kenneth?" the answer was
prompt and frank, "Don't yon worry
about that, mother. That's all right
honest. It Is."
Mrs. Miller was In the habit of trust
ing her children, so the subject was
dropped. The rooster flourished in his
uew home, and all tbe children fed blm,
bung orer bis coop, and counted the
number of times be crowed. Matters
went on smoothly for a while, until one
day at luncheon Ethel announced,' with
her most elderly sister air:
"Kenneth Miller Is going to be ar
rested, and I saw the policeman that's
goUig to do It That lady told me so.
you know the one you borrowed thi
qnafter from."
Mother diew the frightened boy Into
her room and closed the door. Then
Kenneth confessed. ,
"I borrowed It mother. Tie lad
that Uvea across" the street from tue
other lady that was going to sell me tbe
rooster; an anew
money, ao ahe said she would lend It to
me. : men to pay her. 1 do. honest"
"What are yon going to pay her
with?" mother asked. "Yon haven't
any money and mother told you ahe
cotild not spare any."
"I thought maybe you could spare It
by and by. or maybe Eddie or Nan
would give It to me. or maybe I might
Ond it on the walk, like Jimmy Law-
-anM did. '
They talked orer It a little more,
and together they decided that Ken
neth must make his own plans to pay
bis debt .
He wore a very pusaled face for sev
eral daya; .and once, coming to bis
mother, he breathed a woe-begone .slgh:
"Mother. Isn't It Just dreadful to
owe things and have bills V
One night Eddie came In hurriedly
and called upstairs, "If any one of yon
children will take this package to town
I'll give you five cents."
Kenneth's face lighted up and he
sprang forward eagerly. "I will. Ed
die," he cried, and waa out of .the gate
like a flash.
The nickel was the beginning. The
next morning the boy shouldered a
small spade which belonged to papa,
and, without a word to any one, walked
down the street Going bravely to
door after door, he asked: "Do you
want your flower beds spaded opt 111
do It for ten cents."
Two people said yes,' and ao m tbe
hot sun, hour after hour, sometimes
struggling to keep back tbe tears, the
boy dug away, and by the middle of tbe
afternoon be had twenty cents. On the
way home he stopped again at Mrs.
Demor set's and gave her tbe money.
"That boy has got good stuff In blm;
he'll make a fine man some day." she
remarked to her husband as tbe gate
closed behind the tired little laborer.
Hla head ached, be waa tired, he waa
hungry; but he had never been so hap
py in hla life aa when be climbed to
his old seat on his mother's lap and
whispered In her ear:
"I am not ever going to have any bIKs

TRUE POLITENESS
A-Soleclaaa that Was the Hla-heat Kind
of Politeness.
Printed rules can not teach courtesy
What writer on etiquette would tol
erate for an Instant the Idea of eating
chicken with one a Angers? Yet an in
cldent told In the "Life of Henry A.
Wise" shows that on occasions it may
be unmannerly to use a fork.
After Mr. Wise's Record In Congress
had made blm an eminent figure In
the country. It happened that one day
he paid a visit to the Crockett, a fam
ily of his constituents, who lived In
simple fashion upon a little island off
the Virginia coast
All the members of the family except
Tom, a small boy, were at church, and
Mr. Wise refused him the exciting
privilege of running to Inform his par
ents of the unexpected arrival of their
distinguished guest
If your folks knew I were, here,"
said he, "they would either leave the

embarrassed. -by honor of receiving
a visit from Mr. Wise. They were
both painfully 111 at ease, and at din
ner Mrs. Crockett grew so flustered
that she could scarcely pour the cof
fee. .......
Suddenly, to the amazement of the
sympathetic .Tom, the cloud of fear
and anxiety passed from - her face.
Looking around., he aaw Mr. Wise
munching one end of a large chicken
bone.
After dinner the boy found means to
draw Mr. Wise apart, and Immediate
ly put the burning question: . ,
'Mr. Wise, why did you take that
piece of b'iled chicken in your Angers
and bite mouthfuls off It Instead of
using your knife and fork? My mar,
she makes me nse a knife and fork.
You ought to know what'a right Now,
is mar wrong, or Is it you 7'
No, my boy,", answered Mr. Wise.
"your mother's all right but I had my
reason for eating in that way. - Did
yon notice now embarrassed your
mother seemed to be 7" I
'She waa steered nlghly to death,"
assented Tom.
Well, It was the way I ate that
chicken that made your mother feel at
ease In my presence. She felt that
there was one thing she could teach
me. If she was an Islander, and that ,
was table manners. The moment she
felt above me In this respect her fear
left her."

f.nr teeth are the latest thing In
Sentlstry. For years some substance
has -been sought for which couw re
place the composition commonly em
ployed for making teeth and a fortune
.w.iteH the man who was lucky
.nnnrh to hit upon the right material,
Airhnnrh narjer has aome disadvant
ages, they are small compared to Its
many qualifications, and paper teeth
are likely to be used exclusively, at
least until a more perfect material Is
found. ' '
Up to this time china has been used
almost entirely, but It presents so many
tiaadrantaa-ea that dentists always
hav heen on the lookout for some,oth
er substance which could replace it
Not only does china not resist tbe ac
tion of saliva and turns black, but
chins affects the nerves of the jaws.
Peonle who wear false teeth often com
plain of suborbital neuralgia, and this
Is put down by many dentists as being
caused by tbe beat or coia acting on ma
china or porcelain. Porcelain or min
tral composition also Is liable to chip
r break and for these reasons has ner-
r been satisfactory.
The paper teeth are made of papier-
mache, which la submitted to a treuien
dous pressure until they are as hard as
required. Their peculiar composition
renders them cheap, and the price of a
set of teeth will go down considerably
owing to the new Invention. The color
af the papier-mache can also be made
to vary, which Is an Important point.
aa no two sets of teeth are Identical In
color, some teeth having a strong yel
lowish cast while others are bluish
white. In order, therefore, to obtain
tbe right tint the coloring matter has
only to be Introduced into the mixture
before tbe tooth Is cast In order to
match the other teeth exactly. It in
in thla particular that china teeth often
fall to appear natural, their color dif
fering from the other teeth In tbe
mouth and showing that the tooth Is
artificial.
Another novelty with regard to teeth
sonslats In their filling. Dentists no
longer nse as much gold or platinum
as they did formerly In fact, metal
fillings are out of date. Bone or Ivory
Is the substance employed, and both
possess the advantage of appearing
more natural. Of course, those who
already have gold or platinum fillings
will not go to the expense and trouble
Df having them removed, but they bare
been tabooed by the smart set and in
future nothing so conspicuous will be
need. Neither bone nor ivory satisfies
the dentists, however, and they are
hunting around for some composition
which will be both durable and plastic
and yet will match tbe color of tbe
teeth. New York Press.
Etodlnsa.
An Irishman who served on board a
man-of-war, says the Oxford Demo
crat (Maine), was selected by one of
the officers to haul In a tow line of con-,
slderable length that was dragging
over tbe tatrrau.
After pulling in forty or fifty fath
oms of the line, which put his patience
severely to proof, as well as every
muscle of his arms, he muttered to
himself, but loud enough to be over
heard by an officer:
"Sure, It's as long as to-day and to
morrow I It's a good week's work for
any five In tbe ship. Bad luck to the
leg or arm If 11 hive last! What!
More of it" ylt? Och, murther! . The
say's mighty deep, to be sure!"
After continuing In a similar strain
and conceiving there was fittle proba
bility of the completion of his labor,
he suddenly stopped short, and looking
up to the officer on the watch, he ex
claimed:
"Bad luck to me, sorr. If I don't be-
lave somebody's cut off the other end
o' this line."
