Ott - 08 rg AXDOLPH waa paddlliag ' wltb ImT strong, even strokes through the " "placid waters of the little harbor. The wooded bills rose round him on three sides, while out before him lay the open lake. There were no sounds but the dip of his paddle and the mel ancholy cry of a distant loon, until suddenly came the slip and quick rush of falllDg rocks and earth, and at the same moment the cry of "Boy, boy, help!" Randolph turned his canoe and pad dled rapidly toward the shore whence these sounds had come, and there he found a laughing girl, already shaking herself free from the dirt and debris that bad accompanied her fall. -o, l m not nurt, she said, mer rily. "But when I culled 1 was sure I was going to be! I was enviously watching you paddle, from the Indian's PASSING THE BUOY. Mead up there, and suppuse the recent rslns have undermined the old fellow's courttitution so that my weight proved too much for him. His nose and I tumbled off together. I don't see how I'm ever to get back to the road from here It's Just straight up!" "If you are staying over Woodhavei, way, I can paddle you around; it's Just the other side of this long point" "Oh, how lovely for I've never leeii In a canoe and haven't had "a chance till now! Ye, we're at the Woodlia ven Inn. I've learned to swim this sutu- j uier, and I have a rowtioat, but there ' Isn't a canoe anywhere around the lake that I can get and I did want one ' dreadfully:" "Then perhaps you'd like to try pui - dling now? If you would, I'll go back for an extra paddle. I'm one of the boys at Professor Williams' camp. Just ; over there." The girl was delighted at his sugges tion, and soon Randolph had returned with another paddle, and the two start ed out slowly and at first quite cau tiously. But the girl immediately took the motion with the easy grace of one used to out-of-door niort. and the Iki.v behind her regarded her with the hon est admiration that he would have felt for another boy. "Randolph Murray," read the girl from the paddle that she was using. "Is that your name? Mine la Teresa Whiting, but evervbodv calls me Ter ry." "And they call me Rand." said the boy. "Pay. Terry. If you and I could get some good practice together, ami enter the races week after next, I ! Ileve we could win the cup! You have 'I line stroke; you paddle just like :' lHy." "Oh!" cried Terry, "if papa were her lie'd let Die! And I really think mam ma will not object, for I've never dom anything in my life I liked half so wel .! this." And in the sudden exnberauce of lie tirlts Terry came near npsettlng tit IVlllOC "Suy, you mustn't do that!" said Rand; and Terry promised to restrain all such ebullitioUH of delight In future When Mrs. Whiting saw her daugh ter. who had started out for a "train) over the hills," returning in a cauo wlib a strange loy. she wondered what Terry would be doing next. And when the strange boy and her own "odd lit tie girl." as she culled her. came t her with their startling request", k1i f:ilrly gnp'(l for hre.it Ii. I'.ij: I'd'o 'i :r :v. .- ikivit eit !:c way Mrs. Whiting asked the loy a 'number of questions, and when she 'had learned that he was the son of an old acquaintance and that bis mother whs boarding at a farm house not far from Prof. WllliHms' camp, she was Very much im-lined to give her cousent bt once. However, she told Randolph to come around in his canoe the next morning, aud If she had decided then k let Terry enter for the race, he would find her ready to practice with 1 That afternoon Mrs. Whiting called (upon aud renewed her acquaintance Vith Mrs. Murray, and the ladles paid k short visit to the professor's camp. Xeqriless to say that upon her uiotli Vs return Terry received the desired liermission, and then "the fun of her life" began. Every day Randolph pad filed arouud from the camp, and they iractlced together long and faithfully. lAs the day of the contest drew near Terry became more and more conti lent, white her motMrr grew more ner vous. " i "Terry, remember that you and Rand are going to compete wltb older boys md girls, woo have been in these races tefor. Aad thasv, too. Band is going t otmpet m the flrst turn, M clre him; so 70a bare oal tery little chance of winning. "We have every chance ef winning anamma! Ton don't know what we can iml Just watt and see." At last the great day came. The skj waa cloudless, and the sjulet lake, long berore the appointed honr, began to take on a gala-day anpearanaa. Little baate arrived from everywhere, bring tag spectators and partidpnnta by three and fours. Teams drere In from all the conntjy round, and tjie pretty wooded sbore were lined with groups of pleasure seekers and eaer lookers- on. ' There waa some delay before the flrev race waa caled. Then, "Oanoe Pace, single," was announced, and four ca noea went swiftly to the atarttng; place. Throngb a glass Randolph could be plainly seen, his canoe being the sec end from the left. And now the race began. The four dark specks shot forward, growing larger and more distinct aa they ad vanced. Rand waa a little In toe lead, bnt the next canoe gained upon him, and tbe thrid waa bnt a paddle'a length behind. One bad dropped back so far that It had 'no chance at all. , . Rand leads them still. Terry's eager eyes are fixed upon him; be has never paddled so well as now. Bat what Is the matter with tbe next boy to him? He has changed his course; his canoe shoots forward obliquely; he is get ting In Rand's way! Their paddles clash; the rival canoe -fisrti forward; ibe-One' just behind has gained, and Rand, recovering his stroke, come In third. With bis band upraised to the Judges he cries, "A foul!" But his pro test la unheeded, and last year's win ner, through transparent trickery, has carried off the prize. Great was the Indignation of Mrs. Murray over the manner of her boy's defeat; bltteswas Mrs. Whiting's self reproach that she had consented to her daughter's taking part in these races. But Terry, with blazing eyes, had left ber mother's stole and gone to Rand. "Unfair, unjust !" she cried ont hotly, "and the winner and tbe judges know that It is! You ought to bare that, cup but never mind; we'll w-In our race; we'll show tbeni what we can do; an l not one of tbem can touch us!" Rand looked at her. . and the coim slowly came back to bis white face. Unconsciously be straightened himself up and his weariness and discourage ment left him. "Yes. Terry; we shall wlu!" he said. The afternoon wore on. Some of the races were very amusing, and the spec tators were still laughing over tbe tubs, which had upset, and the wet boys were splashing merrily In towards the shore when "mixed double canoe race" was called. Six canoes were soon in line, each with Its crew of girl and boy. Terry's scarlet waist could be seen from the very start by all on shore. And now Mrs. Murray could hardly control her anxiety and nervousness, while Mrs. Whiting seemed on the verge of tears. Forward came the canoes In an even lino it seemed but no. for Terry's scar let waist was ever so little In the lead. Their paddles flash in unison; clock work is not more true! Rut the next canoe Is gaining steadily upon them and they have almost reached the line. Oddly enough, Terry Is the cooles' one of all the contestants, and just as she has talked to Rand when the two j were practicing together, she is talking ; row. an do It, Rand! That's flue: eep right on'. Don't change till the very last minute! You know tbe words we agreed on all read v. now " "Then!" They have made the change; thel: paddles dip and flash now on the opio site sides; their tired muscles are re lieved, fresh ones come Into play; theis canoe shots forward half Its length tM yond Its nearest rival Ami the line Is crossed! A shout of applause rises from tlx shore, and Terry raises her paddl alove her head with a little cry o triumph. "First prize won by Miss Teres Whiting and Randolph Murray!" is an lounced, and two silver cups are band ed, one to each! Philadelphia Times. ZULU CHARLIE SWIFT OF FOOT.

Not withstanding the apparent futility of the task, the anxious mother appealed to one after another of the native, ho were the only ones who stood niy hance of successfully passing the ines. Her own Znln servant, Nkosl. or Charlie, was asked several times If lie would not try It, but be refused spying he did not think be could make :t Rut the woman had known the 11.1 rives from her childhood, and In Char " e she had great confluence. Finally lie yielded to her entreaties. A ilirpatch for her son was accreted ::i the bottom hem of his trousers, aud ilso a message to tbe correspondent in '.adysmlth of the Natal Times. The voung Zulu was accompanied to Kst nurt aud thence traveled on foot to he bombarded town. He moved along from kraal to kraal as If visiting his friends. The Boers stopped him sev crxl times, but. satisfied with bis ex planation, let him go. At last, bow "Ter. he came to a force that held biso .1 prisoner. He was detained only twelve hours, for while the Boers were holding a prayer meeting be escaped and got Into Ladysmith. He found the sou and delivered tbe message, and also found the newspaper correspondent. A message from each was prepared, that to the newspaper being written on "flimsy." Then he started on his re turn, and he was as successful In get ting out and away as he had been In entering the town. In Estcourt the En glish officers offered him $H0 to go back at once with official dispatches, but. faithful to his mistress, he declined. He took the first train for Pleterma ritzbrtig. gave the sob's letter to the mother and sent the newspaper dis patch on its way. New York Press. ANIMALS FOND OF MIRRORS.

There ia an old story to the effect that It Is a custom in candy stores to tell tb new clerk to eat all the candy she wants; the result being that she Is soon surfeited and wants no more candy for a long time. The fact appears to be that, substantially, there Is no r.iie or custom In candy stores regarding the eating of candy by the salespeople. It Is. of course, required that they shall not eat candy In the presence of cus tomers; It might be possible that a new clerk who developed an Inordinate fond ness for candy would require a gentle hint; but clerks are not told when the; begin work that they may or may not eat candy; nothing Is said aliout that at all; and they do as they please about it. and eat what they want; governing theinaelvos. It Is presumed, by discre tion and common sense. It was also tbe common testimony that people do not get tired of candy by being always In the midst of It; and this seem to apply alike to those " gaged In tbe manufacture of candy aud the handling of It by wholesale, and to the clerks engaged In the constant actual handling of candy in tt.e sale of it at retal!. Those who are ford of candy, men as well as women, are not surfeited by the sight of it in 0,1130 titles constantly surrounding them; If it is good candy they keep on liking it Just the same, and enjoy eating wnat they want of it. As to whether men or women like candy better there waa some difference In the expressed opinion. At some places it was said that men and women liked candy equally well; it wis said. for Instance, that In a little company of men and women eating candy, the men would eat as much as tbe women. At one place where the opinion was ex pressed that men, take tbem altogether, do not like candy so well as women do, it was said that If a man was fond of candy he was likely to be very fond of It. so that be might eat a quantity of It at a time. It was everywhere said that among children boys and girls are alike In their love for candy; but tak ing Into account expressions of people outside the business as well as those In it, tbe weight of opinion seemed to be that among grown persons there are more women wltb a sweet tooth Shan men; that la to say that men are no: so fond of candy as women. While tbe customers In the csndy shops In tbe shopping districts of tbe city are almost exclusively woineu, there may be found candy stores a very large proportion of whose many customers are men. These shops are found In tbe region devoted to trade and finance and occupations In wt.Vb men are more commonly engaged and interested. These men. however, are buying mainly for home consumption. In city or subnrhs; and In these later years there bas been seen among tbe purchasers here an Increasing percent age of women customers due to the In creasing number of women employed In that part of the city.

"I'll show you" she declared, and forthwith wrote and mailed to the celebrity a request com posed of only two words. They were, 'Autograph, please."

It ia necessary that we should control the voice to a reflection of that phase of mind and mood which we desire to pre sent. When wo would convince people of our efficiency we matt not permit a weak-kneed voice to stagger under the words. When our hearts go oat is warmth and affection It cannot get far la a brass-lined, lronbound voice. Con ciliation ht vain wben the voice rings defiance.

What can we do about It? Tbe dlffl culty is almost always first a voice hab ita color tbe voice has taken on from some prevailing tint In our life. This Is so with almost everyone. This strain of the natural voice color is not voice Individuality; it is a modifying of voice Individuality, an obscuring of It. It is a bablt not a characteristic. It must be gotten rd of. Only Just what you want must go into your voice. Tbtnk of that a little. Wben you call to the child who stands on the edge of a fall, shall your panic go into your voice, or just the reassur ing note of gentle authority that yju know will bring tbe child to you. In stead of starting him over tbe dreadful edge? When you interview tbe Insub ordinate cook, shall your sense that she very well deserved to-be thrown out of your back door and ber trunk on top of her prevail in your voice, or your earn- est desire to keep her In hand till after i the impending dinner?

"Of all relations among individuals, in all combinations which life offers in this world, there Is none that is mort wonderful than motherhood, and fa therbood comes next," writes Barnetta Brown In - tbe Ladles' Home Journal.

The mother should be an embodiment f sweetness and gentleness; the father 1 citadel of strength. A father, then. avoid bis failures, must be of fine, irge quality, strong, sane and loving; .-. self-forgetful, pleasant guide, a chum "or bis boys, a lover for his girls, a omprehendlng husband, a comfortable nan.
