Scarcely had she begun to tell bet atory, however, than I became so in terested that I begged her to continue and tell me the details as far as possi ble. Miss Angell was engaged to Mr. Clond a peculiar combination of names to beg-in with, and was devotedly at tached to blm. In fact, she confessed with tears in her eyes that his love was mors, or had been more, than life to her. The rest of the story I will let her toll In her own words. "Mr. Cloud," she said, "is in the habit of calling on me almost every evening. About a week ago he came to dinner. Invited by mamma. He was to attend a supper of the Phoenix Club at 10 o'olock. and wore evening dress. "At the table we noticed an exquisite shield pin he wore. It shoue so brll--Uantly that it caught the eye at once. Mr. Clond took the pin off and it was passed around the table for us all to sxamine. "It was a shield as large as a quar ter with the outside edge bordered with pure rubles, blood red. all of a size and without a flaw. The center of the shield consisted of a large diamond cut not very deep, yet too deep to be sunken, so It was elevated In a wire setting. Around the diamonds were perfectly matched black pearls. The combination was so unusual that we exclaimed as we handled the jewel and I remarked that I had never seen it before. "When we had finished examining It Mr. Cloud said: That Is my Phoenix club badge. It belongs to the president. When I was elected the badge was pre sented to me by the members and when I resign, and a new president comes in, I must give up the badge to him. It Is the president's badge, to be owned by blm during bis term of office. Of course, it is only to be worn at the - meetings.' "Mamma spoke of Its great value. Tea,' said Mr. Cloud, 'It is indeed very valuable. It is worth thousands. If ! 1 were to lose it I should feel ruined, as I conld never hope to replace it.' "As he spoke Mr. Cloud's face be came very serious. 'We once had a oase of that kind,' said he 'a most curi ous case. The president lost his badge and committed suicide next day. You see he was suspected of having sold It.' "After we had looked at the badge and talked about It. I very foolishly asked to wear it, and in a fit of way wardness I reached across the table, took it up and put It In the bow of rib bon at my throat. "At the close of the meal, Mr. Cloud asked me for it, but I, to tease him, said I meant to keep it. and ran up stairs with it on. "After they were seated In the parlor I Stole quietly- down the stairs and placed the pin In the lining of Mr. Cloud's overcoat, directly under the lapel. "I went back up to my room and eame down stairs agaiu. I found mamma and my sister seated alone in the parlor. Mr. Cloud had gone out to send a telegram. He would !e back in a minute. "When he returned, which was after half an hour, he came in for only a minute, to say good-by, he said, and to ask for his pin: 'Come, Mazie,' be said, you have teased me long enough. Let me have the pin now. I must go.' " 'I gave It back to you,' I said, 'an1 you have it now. Then I stood up and running my angers along the lapel of his coat felt for the pin. It was gone! "I turned as white as snow and as I felt the color leaving my face, I said: 'I gave it back.' "My mother looked up surprised and Mr. Cloud stared at me. 'Yes, 1 gave It back. I put it on your coat. You mast have it.' " 'Why, Mazie,' said Mr. Cloud, 'how can you say so?' "I pass over the disagreeable scene which followed. I will not mention Mr. Cloud's chagrin or my mother's amazement, even as I explained how I had stolen down the stairs and had fastened the precious pin in the lapel of the coat. Just for fun, and how I Intended after teasing him to tell him that It was there. As I talked I could see my mother's Incredulous looks and Mr. Cloud's absolute dismay. They did not believe me! "After the most painful quarter of an hour which I ever expect to spend Mr. Cloud left, shaking hands cordially with my mother and saying a cold good-night to me. "After he had gone my mother said: 'Mazie, my darling girl, tell the truth. It is not too late.' " There is nothing more to tell, mother.' I said. 'I have told you the whole truth.' "After a while my mother saw that I was In earnest and she lwlleved me. But as next day came and passed, and no word came from Mr. Cloud, I saw that he doubted me. The third day there came a formal note saying that If I would return the pin he would give sae its value In money, paying m as rapidly as his circumstances wonld ntrmit.

"It Is so long a time," I began, "if you " "Yes, I know," said she, impatiently, "Still," I said. "I will do my bast But you must allow me to talk With Mr. Cloud. That will be aksoMaaly necessary." At this she became grectiy sssiniml, but finally consented. That same day I caUed on Mr. OlouO and was received by him la his prtvata office. He was not cordial, and I soon saw that, while he would not accuse the young .av, J9 Jiought she had kept io pin. He told me that, on leav lng the parlor, be had put on his over coat andand bad gone to the near sat telegraph office to send a message. There, meeting an old friend, be bad gone Into a cafe and taken a drink, after which he had returned to the house of his fiancee, having been gone about half an hour. "Tell mo the name of the cafe,' Mid. Having carefully noted the and addresses of all concerned during that half hour, I left Mr. Cloud and I will do him the Justice to say that I think he was half-convincsd that he might have made a mistake. Going first to the telegraph office, I walked from there to the cafe. At that moment a wagon stood In front of the door and they were bringing out the soiled table linen. An Inspiration came to me, and I much precious time but many a heart said to the driver: "How often do you 1 ,cne as well. Christian Common take away the linen?" ! wealth. "Twice a week." said he. "But this ! week we bad a breakdown and wo are late, and It's almost eight days." As the driver started away I said: "I want to search that load of napkins and if you win drive them into that vacant lot I will pay you well for your trouble." Once in the lot I overhauled the con- tents of the wagon thoroughly; and ! was finally rewarded by feeling a hard . lump of something which hurt my hand : as I pinched it. Looking closer I saw tangled in the fringe a glittering Jewel, which, as. I extricated it, proved t be-the diamond ' set in the gorgeous pin which had been ; so accurately described to me by Miss Angell. I did not let the driver know of m) ' booty, but making an excuse that I ( could not find what I wanted, I walked . away, nor did I stop until I had tele- ; graphed to Mr. Cloud. A few minutes , later I sat in the parlor of Miss Angell's residence talking to her. When I bad told my story and laid the pin In her lap her Joy knew no bounds. Just at that moment Mr. Cloud was an nounced, and Miss Angell then and there gave blm the pin. I never saw a girl so happy. She almost hugged me. As soon as Mr. Cloud saw his mis take be was humbly apologetic and tried to fall at her feet, but she waved him away, and Mrs. Angell delicately suggested that, s his presence would always remind them of a painful chap ter, it would be better If he were to go sway and stay away! 1 may add that when Mr. Cloud went into the cafe the pin was in the lapel of the coat, but, becoming entangled in the fringe of his napkin, was pulled out and would have been lost forever had It not been for the perseverance of the plucky Miss Angell.

The most usually accept ed calculation gives six and one-half inches per annum. A man's hair, al lowed to grow to its extreme length, rarely exceeds 12 or 14 inches, while that of a woman will grow In rare instances to TO or 75 inches, though the average does not exceed 25 to 80 Inches. San Worship. The most complete system of sun worship that we have any account of was that existing in Peru when discov ered by the Spaniards in 1526. The lncax, as the Peruvian monarchs were called, claimed to be children of the sun and his representatives on earth. Their government was a despotic theoc racy, of which the Inca was both high priest and king. In Cuaco, the capital, stood a splendid temple to the sun, in which all the implements were of solid gold. On the west end of the interior was a representation of the sun's disk, and rays In the same precious metaL so placed that the rising sun, shining In at the open east end, fell full upon the image and was reflected with daesling Bplendor. In the plaza or square Of the temple a great annual festival was held at the summer solstice. The mul titude assembled from all parts of the empire, and presided over by the Inca Lwaited in breathless solemnity the tirst rays of their deity to strike the golden image In the temple when they till prostrated themselves In adoration. Sacrifices, similar to those of the Jews, kvere offered on the occasion, and bread nnd wine were partaken of in a manner trlklngly resemblng the Christian sao- ament. The moon as the spouse ol he sun. the planet Venus as his page, be rielades, and the remarkable con- tcllation of the Southern Cross, wsre minor deities.- The rainbow and light ning were also worshipped as servants of the s ti : and fire, air, sank and water v :t without adoration. In fact, the.. .. as little In Nature that the Peruvians did not contrive to make r deity. Hie.

Every one knows what foolscap pa er is. but not every ono knows why It was so called. An exchange ven tures to remark that not on in a hun dred that dally use It can answer the question. The following will tell you bow the term originated: When Oliver Cromwell became pro tector, after the execution of Charle I., he caused the stamp of the cap ol liberty to be placed upon the paper used by the English Government. Soon after the restoration, Charles II., having occasion to oe some paper for dispatches, some of this Government paper was brought to him. On looking st it, and discovering the stamp, he Inquired the meaning of it, and on being told, he said: 'Take it away; I have nothing to dc with a fool's cap." The term "foolscap" has since been applied to a certain size of glazed writ ing paper. Morning Star. Two Little Girls.

Thomas Whalen shaves four million aires a day. He makes the round of their residences every morning and uses his own fast pacer to save time. They all pay liiin a liberal salary and In three hours each morning he earns more than the average barber does in four days. Mr. Whalen's clients are P. D. Ar mour. S. W. Allerton, Marshall Field and N. K. Fairbank. They employ him by the year, and his salary continues whether they are In Europe, New York, California or Chicago. His contract calls for a daily shave In Chicago, and If the millionaires' chins are not to tue, found, Whalen Is not the sufferer. His "pull" is said to be of the gentlest, but his fellow barbers declare It is very strong, and besides the salary be gets there is always a liberal Christmas oresent. The salaries paid are as follows! Mr. Armour, $75 per month; Mr. Field. $75; Mr. Allerton. $50, and Mr. Fairbank, $35. All of these gentlemen have their private barber shops, and Mr. Whalen has the running of theni He keeps each supplied with the finest razors, shears, strops, soaps, mugs, and other requisites of a first-class tonsorlat parlor. He knows the turn of every whisker of his patrons, and there Is uever any kick about razors with a 'pull." His labors begin early. Mr. Armour'i. home is his first stopping place, though recently, during that gentleman's resl-J deuce in California, he has not been getting up so early. Mr. Armour has always shaved by 6 o'clock and often earlier. From there it Is only a block to Mr. Field's Prairie avenue mansion, and Just across the street, a little to the south, he finds Mr. Allerton ready for his dally scrape. But to reach Mr. Fairbank he must make a big jump to the North Side, and his fast pacer comes in good use. Cars are too uncer tain, and Mr. Fairbank cannot be kept waiting or disappointed, and before 9 o'clock Wbalen Is at the Lake Shore drive residence, ready for Mr. Fair bank to come to the private barber mt. "Tom" Whalen is one of the be.it kuown ltarbers In Chicago. He has iiiudu a competency out of his work, and his Income now is by no means Jx-ggarly, averaging close to $3,000 for the year.
