When we reached the house Uncle Jerry was tightening up the hoops on the rain barrel, while his wife bad gone to see a sick neighbor. They had been fully identified the day before as the proper parties, and now the law yer said: "Well, Uncle Jerry, I want to hand yon that money and get a receipt and be off this morning."

Atlanta Constitution. I Reginald's Bride. J ARION GREY was the child of wealthy parents, having been brought up In luxury and given a good education. Her mother died when she was 12 years of age, leaving her father to rear his mother less child as best he could. His business did not prosper after, his wife's death, and through the dis honesty of his partner he became al most reduced to bankruptcy. He went to work with the menthat he bad for merly employed, working night and day, straining his eyes to their utter most, and finally causing total blind ness. At this he sold his property and Marion was obliged to go to work. She engaged a small tenement and searched dally for work, but to no avail. On rcturulug home one day, tired and disheartened, her father said to her: "Marion, Mrs. Young called here to-day. and Is going abroad with her husband, and would like to find a trustworthy person to take the care of her little boy, Harold. She heard of our circumstances, and thought that you might take this position as govern ess, and yet be near your old father. What do you think about It my dear?" "Well, father." said Marion in a cheerful tone, for she never allowed her father to see her downhearted, "do you think that you co'uld stand the an noyance of this child, for he is but " years of age and has been indulged greatly?" "My daughter," said her father, "It does seem as if this is a plan by which you can meet the expenses and yt In near me during the day." Nothing more was said, and the fol lowing day Marlon called on Mrs. Young and everything was settled sat isfactorily. She brought Harold home with her, for he had been attracted to Marion at once, and Mr. and Mrs. Young were to sail the following day. The Youngs were people of wealth and attended the same church as Marlon hat dene from childhood, and they felt well pleased at being able to find such a trustworthy person with whom to leave Harold. Marlon was In the habit of taking Harold for a stroll during the latter part of the day, and it was during one Of-these strolls that Harold exclaimed: Why, auntie, we r--et that gentleman every day." ' , T an ,c"rluk the remark. i, - ...... ' -XXHl-atBrnftr.ti " liooa-anernoon, sir, saia aianon. - "Pardon me, but the child called you 'auntie.' May I ask If he is your nephew?" said the gentleman. "O, no, sir! I am Miss Grey, and have charge of him for a few months while his parents are abroad," said Marion. "I am fond of children, and I should Judge that this lad is about the same age as my young brother, whom I have not seen since a babe." After saying a few words to Harold, he wished then? good-afternoon and passed on. Marion called Harold and walked leisurely home, little knowing what an Impression she had made on this new acquaintance. Upon entering the house Harold exclaimed: "O, grandpa, we met a real nice gentleman, and he talked with auntie!" Mr. Grey made no reply, but during the evening asked Marion who the gentleman was. Marion replied that it was one that they had met frequent ly In their strolls, and Harold had opened the conversation by his child ish remarks. "His name Is Mr. Reg inald Stacey, and he lives next door." she said. "Stacey!" repeated Mr. Grey. "That sounds familiar. I once bad dealings with one by that name, but he has passed away." As time passed the meetings between Marion and her friend became mure frequent, and what was at first a mere acquaintance soon ripened into a deep affection, until one day Reginald said: "Marlon, I am goiug away to complete my education, but there Is something that I wish to tell you before going." "Marion, I have loved you from first sight, my dear," said Reginald. "But, Reginald, what of my father? I love you. but I cannot leave him." said Marlon. "You and your father shall never be separated," he answered. After spending "Some time in making promises and endearing words." he bade her a fond good-by. That evening Marion told her father the whole story. A little later on she received letters from Reginald, and often wondered wny he did not speak about his people In them, but, thinking that the year would soon pass, and having her time taken up with Harold and her father she decided that on his return she would ask him alout them. As time passed away rapidly, Mr. and Mrs. Young returned from abroad and took Harold home, paying Marlon well. On her next visit to Marion and her father Mrs. Young stated that she wished her to come with her a few days to help prepare for her older son's home-coming, and that she was to bring her father also. Marion was downhearted, for she had not heard from Reginald for some time. In his last letter he had said that he bad graduated and his parents bad returned home, and that he would soon Join her. Marion took up her new work, trying to be satisfied, and on the day of the arrival of the expected one, this being Mrs. Young's older son, Marion was In the sewing-room, and suddenly the door opened and in came Harold, say ing: "My big brother has come," and Marian, looking up, exclaimed: "O, Reginald!" and he clasped her to him In a fond embrace. At this moment Marion's father and Mr. and Mrs. Young entered the room, and Marlon demanded an explanation from them, which Mrs. Young laughingly gave. "I was once Mrs. Stacey, and my son and I weft separated aoon after hit ratbtra death, t then nutted Mr. Young, whose son you have had the cars of daring the last year and one half. Reginald had sot seen Harold since a baby, and, asI had not told him the name of the person with whom I had left Harold, he did not know be was the child In your care, although he felt strongly attracted to him. After he came abroad to us and told ns of you, we decided to keep things hidden, from yon until his return, wishing to surprise you and your father. We will be happy to see yon and Reginald and your father settled In a home of your ol" After a few worda with Regin ald and Is mother, Mr. Grey found ont why the name Stacey had sounded so familiar to him, for Reginald's father had been the one with whom Mr. Grey had bad dealings In the past Boston Tost Keith's, the favorite Philadelphia theatre with otir people is still afford ing, from noon to 10.30 daily, the best entertainment in the Quaker City.

Florence Night injtale'e Dolls. When Miss Nightingale was a child she had many dolls, and her great hob by was to pretend that they each Id turn were very sick and needed th most careful nursing. There was one rag baby that had fever so badly that her life was despaired of, and little Florence would only go to her own bed one night when her nurse and her moth er promised that they would watch be side the sick doll. And watch they had to. with a vengeance. For If either of the nurses tried to go away thiuklng Florence was asleep, the little lady was awake in a moment and would not He down until they went to watching again. Early in the morning Florence rose to take her share in the nursing, and then the others were allowed to lie down. She was soon able to say that the rag baby was much better. Amber Mines and Their Captives. Amber Is the product of a gum from a cone-bearing tree. Thus It is closely allied to resin; but by one of nature's wonderful processes the soft gum for mation has been transformed to a com position that is durable, capable of withstanding heat and brittle, like glass. Mucbsof the world's amber is mined in Prussia, near the Baltic Sea. There Imbedded in blue clay are found the wrecks of ancient trees and a great deposit of atriber. Much of it contains Insects in a fine state of preservation. Over 2,000 varieties of these insects have been found preserved in amber. A large proportion of them are entirely unknown to-day. Part of the amber is found under the sea,, and all of it suggests a mystery of prehistoric life and vegetation. Mmwrn the nickels. From saving, comes having.

"These ain't the feet I had this morning." The trunk is first recognized as part of self; then the head is regarded as the seat of Intel ligence. A child will "make believe that it Is more than one self, and per sonify Its members. When only a few months old a baby does not know its own face in a mirror, until It finds out by experience. Children are often afraid of a shadow at first but in time refer It to the sun. They attach every im portance to their bodily appear ance and scarcely believe that an earlier photograph of them as babies is really meant forthem, and feel almost new beings when dressed for church on Sunday. In time the consci ousness of self which thinks, suffers and wills is dimly discerned. A girt of 3 shut her eyes and believed her mother could see her body, but not her real self. One day she asked. "Mother, am 1 real, or only a pretend like my dollar' The same child pitied the fallen leaves dying on the ground. A weli-anown lady novelist, when a child, was amazed to think that she could feel and act by an internal self, and the consciousness of self came to George Sand one day as a sudden revelation. Children want to know how theh thoughts came to their tongue or limbs, and imagine they travel down. Metamorphosis of self is a common idea among children who fancy they have been something different at one time. They also find it hard to believe they never existed at all, and will ask where they were 100 years ago. A littl j boy of 5 asserted that the world only began to go round when he was born.

To the Eirvrrtian death was but the lieulnnluir of a career of adventures and experiences compared with which the most vivid emotions of this me were tame. He lived with the fear of death before his eyes. Everything around him reminded him of that dreadful initiation into the mysteries of the tremendous after life for which ills present existence was but a prep aration. His cemeteries were noi niu den away in remote suburbs; his dead were not covered with mere grassy mounds or a slab of stone. The whole land was his graveyard; its whole art was of the mortuary. "Are there no graves in Egypt that thou hast brought us into the wilderness to dler" asuea the Israelites in derision, and we may believe that Moses winced at the sar casm. Egypt is the land of graves, and the whole energy of the people that could be spared from keeping life together was devoted to death. The mightiest tombs in the world the pyramids were raised upon the death of mufli tudes of toiling slaves. The hills were honeycombed passages and galleries, chambers, pits all painfully excavated in honor of the Illustrious dead, and sculptured and painted with elaborate skill to make them tit habitations for KirvnHan beheld preparations for the great turning point of existence. The mason was squaring blocks Tor tne tomb chamber: the potter molded im ages of the gods or bowls or Jars, to be placed In the grave for tne protec tion or refreshment of the Ka. exhaust ed With the ordeals of the underworld; the sculptor and painter were at work upon the walls of the funeral chamber.

The houses of the living, indeed, were built of perish ing mud, but the homes of the dead and the shrines where supplication was n..ide to the gods who ruled their fate were made to last forever. On these all the strength, the science and the artistic skill of the ancient Egyptians was cheerfully lavished.

By the timely prevention of a strange law of nature little known save to scientific men, one of the workmen at Baldwin's Locomotive works escaped from -what, "uuder ordinary circum stances, would have been absolutely certain death. The ptuMling-room of this factory contains a large number of Immense caldrons, iu which the Iron Is melted and purilied. .The laborer wheels his barrow containing the ore up an inclined plane to their open mouth a height or three feet from the floor, and then empties the barrow into the caldron. Joseph Connor, one of the puddlers, was totally unclothrd from his waist upward. He had been at work scarcely Ave minutes yesterday when one of his fellow workmen gave a cry which di rected the attentionof the entire fort eut work to the awful situation into which Connor had got himself. Bending over the molten liquid, his head and chest completely immersed in its depths, he was holding by his bands to the edge and trying, apparently, to draw back from the terrible position Into which he had fallen. It was at once evident that "-nor had somehow missed his foot ing and fallen partially Into the boiling metal. Fellow workmen at once rushed to the spot and he was hastily dragged out. Everyone expected to find his face and chest a hideously charred mass and some of the men had already turne 1 away their eyes rather tl.nn gaze on tb terrible sight they expected would be presented. But to the amazement of his rescuers, save for the loss of his hair, Connor was absolutely uninjured. Not a disfigurement, not a burn, not even a blister was to be seen. The workmen were badly scared by the seeming marvel. Later the puddling manager explained the matter to the men! A combustible body may be preserved from Ignition when in contact with a source of heat by being surrounded by an atmosphere of vapor. In the case of Connor the man had be gun to perspire and on contact with the molten metal this perspiration formed a gaseous covering that protected his skin. His hair, of course, was not so shielded and suffered in consequence, but with this exception he was uninjur ed. Philadelphia Inquirer. His Chief Concern. A party of excursionists visiting a large city on one of the Great Lakes during the summer went out one fine morning for a sail.

At last,, however, an unusually high wave rocked the boat, and one of the young men standing near the gunwale lost his balance and pitched headlong into the water. He was a good swimmer, out it wss several minutes before the boat could te rounded to, and when he was Anally reached with the aid of a line and drag ged on board be was almost exhausted.
