bringing the Canadian close in to the
bank.
"That Is Just what one finds so Im
possible in life coming to anchor, I

In the water.
"Look here, DI," he Jerked out pres
ently, "what is the good of beating
abont the bush? There's something
wrong, and you are worrying yourself
about it, and I am going to make you
tell me everything. Tou used to tell me
everything once, DI, without invita

raillery that was chiefly pathetic.
"Don't be a duffer, Hugh," she ob
served. "May I not be sententious now
and then without being forced to ex
plain that I mean nothing at all? Now,
will you please amuse me? It Is a
shame to waste an afternoon like this."
"Of course it Is." he echoed. "You

odd kind of way we are told to distrust

I robbed orchards, and you, like a sec-

"AH gone," she echoed In a voice that
was almost tragic by comparison with
, the balf-fllppancy of his.
"Staying up here indefinitely as a don
la not the same thing." he went on.
"The glamour wears thin, and one slip--Into
formula In place of feelings, and
acquires nncauiiy views of women. You
have met Roberts often lately, haven't
you? He Is only Just 30, and yet be

and I have every admiration for the
way In which he has pn!led me through,
but but I should have liked to ex

you would have been edified, I think.
I never met a man who could so effect
ually turn his blind eye to the good
qualities of women."
"Ah!" murmured the girl. "Let us
go down the river again," she said after
a pause. "I have something to say to
you, Hugh, and It will be easier If we
are In motion."
"I have often wondered what would
happen to Roberts If he met his destiny
written large," he mused audibly. "It
would knock him clean out of time, I
fancy, should he lose. That Is the
worst of these men who go on In smil
ing indifference to amatory dangers:
they are pulled up with a horrid Jerk.
Dou't you think Infant vaccination with

don't take it half as badly in that case."
"Oh, Hugh, why will you be so so
frivolous?" pleaded the girl, something
between amusement and desperation In
her voice.
"Can't help It Di, for the life of me:
I was born so, you know."
"I am going to tell you a story,
Hugh," she went on with more com
posure, "and you shall give me your
verdict on It Don't stop; I can't bear
to remain still. The story Is abont a
woman and a man of whom the woman
was very fond so fond that she had
promised, almost before she grew up,
that she would marry him. She did not
know that love meant something else,
until until she came up to Cambridge
one May week. Hugh, please don't
i'ook at me In that way; It is only a
story. Well, she met some one very
often, more often than she bad a right
to do, during that week; she did not
realize the end to which they were
drifting she was merely interested In
drawing a grave, book-hardened man
out,st his shell: being rather willful,
lie could not be confronted with a solid
nail of Ice and not wish to thaw it."
The man's face was the colfTr of damp
parchment "Go on." he said as she
halted In the telling.
"She succeeded. Hugh. It all came
about on the night of a certain college
ail, beneath an old willow the same
under which we anchored not long ago.
The wall of Ico uicl'ed suddenly en
nasae, and the rush of water carried
both of them away. It was then that
the woman learned the added elcmcat
which converted fondness Into love; it
was then that she lost sight of honor
and allowed the man to kiss ber."

"I'm through," said the book agent

Bessie picked up the kitten. "Poor

Then she added, as she ran upstairs,

Jnst a Little Boy.
There is a boy in our town,
(And he is wondrous wise).
Who. when the rain conies pouring down
And clouds o'erspread the skies.
Says, "I'll just smile the best 1 can.
No matter how it pours;
And we'll have sunshine in the house
If it does rain out of doors."
When naughty words swarm through hi
brain.
And clamor to be said.
He shuts his teeth together tight
And says, "I'll kill you dead.
Unless you will be sweet and kind. -And
good and full of fun;
Von can't came out until you are
No, not a single one!"
He thinks when he's a grown-up man.
With wise and sober face.
He'll do some wondrous deed to make
This earth a brighter place:
But nothing in this whole wide world
Can give more lasting Joy,
Dr make more solid sunshine.

An Ingenious gentleman has devised
an Instrument which he thinks will be
of great assistance to white soldiers in
their combats with native tribes. It is
a big wooden tube, with a piece of per
forated raw hide stretched over the
opening; when blown it makes a noise
which can be compared with nothing

savage anxious to depart for the happy
bunting ground, or whatever may be
his Idea of a future existence, without
further delay.

RECOLLECTIONS OF MOODY.
He Was a Man Who Insisted on Havinac
Thinga Done.
In action -I. e., in the thick at a great
religious campaign, be was something
of a martinet. I remember a little
scene between him and the able secre
tary and manager of his London com
mittee, Robert Paton. It was 11 o'clock
on a Saturday morning. Mr. Moody
bad suddenly changed the plan of cam
paign for the following week and he
wanted fresh tickets ready In time to
distribute to bis 5,000 workers who
would assemble early the next (Sunday)
morning at the 7 o'clock workers
meeting. "Paton," said he. Informing
him of hia change of plan, "I want
50,000 tickets (handing him copy) ready
for the workers meeting; to-morrow
morning." "Impossible!" said Paton.
"Wby Impossible?" asked Moody.
"Why," replied Paton, "this Is Satur
day and 11 o'clock. All the printing
establishments close dawn work at
noon to-day, and, even If tbey did not,
50.000 tickets could not be prepared in
half a day." They argued the point a
few minutes and then Moody turned
upon his heel with the remark: "Paton,
it must be done." Mr. Paton looked
blankly for a moment at the huge re
treating figure and then went out of the
room like a shot and in two minutea he
was in a cab tearing down to the print
ing establishment. I do not know bow
it waa managed, but the 50,000 tickets
were distributed the next morning to
bis 5,000 workers.' Thus it ever was
with Moody. Once In a critical time,
during the early building operations up
here, Mr. Marshall, his general super
intendent, said that It was absolutely
necessary before the end of the week
that a large sum of money be had. That
afternoon Mr. Moody took train for

Moody, of all men I ever knew, could
do things, and he did them. As I heard
one of his close friends only yesterday
s.iy: "He always got there." "And
Abraham went forth to go into the land
of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan
he came." That was characteristic of
Mr. Moody. What he went forth to ac

Strance Money.
Chocolate is still nsed as money in
certain parts of the Interior of South
America, as also are cocoannts and
eggs. According to Prescott the money
of tbe Aztecs consisted of quills fnll of
gold dust and bags of chocolate grains.
Before the introduction of coined mon-
I ey into Greece, skewers or spikes of
.iron and copper were nsed, six being
a drachm or handful. The small, hard
shell known as the cowrie Is still nsed
in parts of India and Africa In place of
coin. Whales' teeth are nsed by the
Fijians. red feathers by some of the
South Sea Islanders and salt In parts
of Abyssinia. In parts of India cakes
of tea ind In China pieces of silk pass
as currency. Oxen still form tbe circu
lating medium among many of tbe
Zulns and Kaffirs. ,

In the Century. CapL Slocnai tells of
the SprayMurriTal at Cape Town, and
oC a vtolt to Pretoria, where he met
PresMeat Kroger, to whom be said he
wan sailing around the world. This
statement Oom Paul flatly contradict,
sd. - -
I traveled the country over, from Slm
mi Town to Pretoria, being accorded
byl colonial government a free rail
road pass over all the land. The trip
from Cape Town to Klmberley, Johan
nesburg and Pretoria was a pleasant
one. At the last-named place 1 met
Mr. Kroger, the Transvaal V
His excellency received me cordially
eaetrgh; but my friend. Judge Beyers,
the gentleman who presented me, by
mentioning IncidentsUy that I was on
a royage around the world, unwitting
ly gave great offense to the venerable
statesman, which we both regretted
deeply. Mr. Kruger corrected the Judge
rather sharply, reminding him that the
world, is flat. "Tou don't mean round
the world." said the president; "It ia
Impossible! You mean In the world.
Impossible!" he said, "impossible r and
not another word did he utter either to
the Judge or me. The Judge looked at
me, and I looked at the Judge, who
should hare known bis ground, so to
speak, and Mr. Kruger glowered st us
both. My friend the Judge seemed em
barrassed. I was delighted, for In those
days I wss fond of fun. and the Inci
dent pleased me more than anything
else that could have happened. It was
a nugget of Information quarried out
of Oom Paul, some of whose sayings
are famous. Of the English be said.
"They took first my coat and then my
, trousers." He also said. "Dynamite
is the corner stone of the South African
Republic." Only unthinking people
call President Kruger dull.
Soon after my arrival at the cape,
Mr. Krugers friend. Col. Saunderson,
M. P., who had arrived from Durban
some time before. Invited me to New
lands Vineyard, where I met many
agreeable people. Ilia excellency Sir
Alfred Mllner, the governor, . found
time to come aboard with a party. Tbe
governor found a seat on a box In my
cabin; Miss Muriel sat on a keg, antl
Lady Saunderson sat by tbe skipper at
tbe wheel, while the colonel, with his
kodak, away In tbe dinghy, took snap
shots of the sloop and her distinguished
visitors. Dr. David Gill, astronomer
royal, who was of the party. Invited
me the next day to tbe famous Cape
Observatory. An hour with Dr. Gill
was an hour among tbe stars. His dis
coveries In stellar photography are well
known. He showed me' the great as
tronomical clock of. the observatory.
and I showed blm the tin clock on the
Spray, and we went over the subject
of standard time at sea. and how It
was found from the deck of tbe little
sloop without the aid of a clock of any
kind.-. Later It was advertised that Dr.
GUI would preside at a talk about tbe
voyage of the Spray; that alone secur
ed for me a full house. Tbe ball was
packed, and many were not able to get
In. This success brought me sufficient
money for all my needs In port and for
the homeward voyage.

Tbe Highest Tower.
The highest tower In the world
presently to be built as one of tbe
great attractions of Buffalo during tbe
Pan-American Exhibition, which Is to
be held in that city In 1901. It is to be
1.152 feet high and 400 feet square at
the base, and will be a much more or
namental building than the EifXe'
Tower. It will be served by no fewer
than thirty-three electric elevators,
sixteen of which will run only to the
first landing, 225 feet above the level of
the ground. The whole journey from
the bottom to the top will necessitate
four changes of elevators, and will take
a!Mtit six minutes, while the elevators
will have a carrying capacity of 10,000
an hour. The estimated cost of this
tower, which will be built ol steel, is
$800,000, or about twice as much as
that of the Eiffel Tower.
' Eating and Wrleht-
It has been seriously asserted by
many people that we are naturally
lighter after a meal, aud tbey have even
gone the length of explaining this by
the amount of gas that Is developed
from the food Average observations,
however, show that we lose three
pounds and six ounces between night
and morning; that we gain one pound
and twelve ounces by breakfast; that
we 'again lose about fourteen ounces
before lunch; that lunch puts on an
average of one pound; that we ngaiu
lose during the afternoon an average
of ten ounces; but that an ordinary
dinner to healthy persons adds two
pounds and two ounces to their weight.
