MAYNARD, So, CT70 II good enough to accumulate v considerable fortune and con slderate enough to leave the bulk. of It to bis widow.- The es tate was not In the least in- volved, and all the various charities and educational institutions benefited uu der the will were settled with long be fore the expiration of the year allowed by law for such business. Attention to these details did much to occupy Mrs. Maynard's mind during the first months of her widowhood. As she was young, she had often passed for her husband's daughter, her mourning was not over poignant of long-enduring. There was an extended journey abroad, and then she settled In her New Tork City house to enjoy life in her own way. This consisted In entertaining friends of her own choosing, among whom she became a social leader, but she nerer aspired to lead In high society, and lived quietly, considering the extent of her fortune. Having a dread of money hunters, she skillfully spread abroad the report that she was determined never to marry again. Among her friends was one Lewis Baxter, of whom she became quite "1 DIDH'T know it until to-day." fond. Baxter was a war correspondent and as there waa no war on at that time, and he wasn't of much use In or dinary journalism, he had no end of time on bis bands, and, by the same token, no little difficulty in making both ends meet. The first time she aaw him Mrs. Maynard said to herself: "Now, I should like to have that man for a friend." Aid soon she had him for a friend. He became her very de voted friend. "I shall see you next when?" she often asked as they were parting. His answer generally was: "Whenever you like." But he never came uninvited. He never paid a formal call, or came, unless she special ly wished it, on one of ber "at home" afternoons. Baxter grew communicative In his brusque way. giving the widow the benefit of his grumbling against fate for keeping him unemployed. "So I want another war," he said one day. "It Is terribly selfish but we are all terribly selfish when we are hard up." "But. look here; I heard several se crets of yours quite lately," Mrs. May nard Interposed. "Secrets of mine? I don't think I have any." "Oh, yes, I know. I have beard about It from grateful people whom you never supposed that I knew anything about " "Oh that there's nothing In that It would be cheaper to be dead. If one might not do a good turn for some de cent folks in distress every now and then. I don't do it because I am a char itable or generous sort of fellow. I do It because it pleases me." Then they rambled on in a talk about charities, until Baxter arose to go, with the remark that he feared he was bor ing ber. Mrs. Maynard assured him that if that were the case she would tell him so. Convinced of ber candor and admiring her frankness, Baxter sat down again. "I want to talk to you about your self," said Mrs. Maynard, calmly, and if Baxter was surprised at this, he was astounded when she continued: "You don't know what to do with yourself. You are wasting your life. The truth - Is, my friend, that yon ought to get jinarrled." I Get married. He sprung from his (hair with a flush of anger on his face .and a perfectly new revelation in hit heart He had not known it before. He had sat with ber and talked with erdayafterday; hehadbeenherfrlen.l. and had beard ber can mm ner com rade; he had found her friendship grow day by day more J ear to him and more .needful for him; bat he bad never un til now realized the fact that he was absolutely in love with her. How did he come to realize it now? Just be cause of the few words of easy, kindly friendship she had let drop, lu which she told him he ought to get married to get married to some other woman, and be Mrs. Maynard's comrade no more! "So, then," he said, to bfa own louL"shecares nothing about me noth ing at all except as a friend!" ' Mrs. Maynard went on without seem ing to take any notice of his emotion t, indeed, she had noticed It ' "Won't you sit down?" she asked, sweetly. He sat down with something rather like a growl. "Yes," she went on, "I am quite con vinced that you ought to get married and to a woman with money." "Do you mean to annoy me?" he asked, angrily. "Do you really mean to say that you believe I am a man to sham love to a woman to swindle her out of her money?" j "I didn't say a word about swindling a woman out of her money." "No. of course, you did not say that But what else is it If one makes sham love to a woman in order to get hold of her money?" "But why make sham love to her? Why not get to love her in spite of her money?

"Oh, come now, as If I could tell yon her name after the way. in which yon have taken my offer. Your offer! Yon have no right to make any offer of the kind. Ton art not the Matrimonial News, or whatever it is called. But now, seriously," abe said, "is It fair that my friend should be cat off from all chance of marrying the man she admires and very likely loves or would come to love merely because she has a lot of money? Is she to be left to the delicate attentions of the mere fortune-hunter?" Mrs. Maynara, i aon t know any thing about the young woman, and. without being rude, I hope, to her or to you, I must say that I can't get myself to take any interest In ber, or to be lieve In ber existence."

"But I didn't" she said, quietly. "Didn't? Why, what do yon mean? Didn't you urge me to marry a young woman with money? Didn't yon urge it on me, and say the young woman was in love with me?"

One of the Lares and Penates of a family In town Is a plaster cast of the Venns of Milo, says the New York Times. She was a treasure in spotless white until one day when the owner of the armless lady had the misfortune to read In a household magazine a pre scription which showed that by a coat ing of oil tbe humble plaster Venus might be changed into a glorious bit of old Ivory. The prescription was tried, but it was not altogether a success. The Venus, sure enough, took on a deeper tone in face and drapery, but ber com plexion had more the atmosphere of Jersey mud, certain plain-spoken peo ple said, than ivory. However, she was cherished still and lived happily despite ber uncertain eastern tints and adorned a conspicuous pluce modestly and worthily. That was until within a day or two when the family to which the Venus belonged took it upon themselves to change their place of abode. There was some confusion, as there will be aj such occasions in the best-regulated families, and for a few days the Venui stood around the house waiting to be packed quite as if she was not a beauty and model woman. There is a moral jn this story which shows that if even superior people resort to commonplace practices they will be treated like con nionplace people. One of the other treasures of this particular family in addition to tb Venus was a nice honest Hibernian lady, devoted to the scrubbing brush, kind with opinions of her own concern ing many things in general and Venuses of Milo in particular. The time cams at last for the Venus to be packed, but she was missing and investigation led to the kitchen. There strangely as sorted companions were found Venus of Milo and tbe Hibernian lady to gether, the one standing in front of the sink with a worried look on her com fortable countenance, while the Venus, with her usual vere de vere expression, was lying back in the dishpan, which was filled with foamy suds, while th Hibernian lady scrubbed her with a will. "Me heart's near broke," exclaimed tbe Hibernian lady as she looked np to see the expectant members of the fam ily. "It's scrubbing her I've been thli two hours and she's no nearer clans now than she were In the first place." ! But if the Venus had not changed er complexion her haughty plaster ex terior begun to soften during her long, hot bath and she will never In the fu ture occupy the honored place In thf family that she had before.

TEREST TO THEM. to-oay. , What Something that Will Intereet the Ju ' nevea venile Member of Every Hoswehold -Quaint Actions and Bright Sayings of Many Cnte aad Cunning Children. It is not a pleasant thing to be the (lain sister of two beautiful girls, and j'attv Chilton found that out before I lie was four years old. Not that Tatty Was reu'ly plain, but her candid aunts had made no secret of tbe fact that she was not to be compared, in point of looks, with Berenice, ber sister of Keren, and Mabel, the liftle beauty of two. Nor was she as bright as 3er- 11 Ice tbey said. Heru'ce is so like tbe West overs:" was their frequent remark, and tue Breatest lossible praise they could give these Westover spinsters. So Patty grew up with the feeling that she was a rery poor sort of crea ture. Her visits to her Grandma West- overs were never pleasant, and but for the unfailing kindness of grandma her-i self, would bare been wholly painfull for she was systematically snubbed, while Berenice and Mabel were petted and made much of by their two aunts. 1 Th'ir bright sayings were quoted, and i their beauty openly praised. Patty was not jealous or envloua-of her sisters, but sat and admired them silently, .only wishing in ber sore heart that she were like them, or else a boy. She often wished she bad been a boy. One day ber mother asked her why. "Because then it would lie all right to be ugly." "Why. Pattler said Mrs. Chilton, to whom her children were pretty alike. "What ns kes you think you are ugly, my dearie?" That old, mean looking-glass says so," was Patty's answer, and she would never admit that she bad gathered the Idea from any other source. No one ever guessed how all the fine arrows of ridicule pierced and tore that sensltire heart, for It was a pet theory of the Aunts Westover that Patty was "thick skinned" and phlegmatic. In other words, she was not a Westorer, but a Chilton. It was only Berenice and Mattel whose tender senslbilites were to lie always considered. Of course poor Patty was never her natural self in the presence of those 1. , (Atnlt.

And so It went on. anil the girls grew fast Bernlce and Mabel lost none of their beauty, but thanks to the unwise compliments upon which their rnnlty had been fed since I heir babyhood, they lost one of the sweetest charms of girlhood simplic ity. They knew they were pretty, and tliey dressed, talked and acted for effect. Patty walked with the careless grace of nature, while her sisters nil need In the way they supposed to be the most ladylike and fetching. When Patty spoke It was In a downright earnest way, and her big. sweet smile warmed the hearts of every one but the two Misses Westover. Not so Tier sisters. When tbey spoke ,t was with the Delsartenn expressions and gestures sweetly or haughtily, archly or sedately, sadly or merrily; jnd oh! such lowering of long eyelashes, such heavenward castings of asure blue eyes, such shakings of golden curls, such graceful turnings of fair necks! Of all these arts and banish ments the two pretty sisters were past mistresses at a rery tender age. When Patty was about fourteen, Miss Lincoln took board for the summer at Grandma Westorer's pretty old place, et'd then Patty enjoyed her rlslts to her Kiduduiothcr's, for Miss Lincoln "took" to Patty, and Patty loved Miss Lincoln. She was an artist, and Patty could show her all the pretty spots In the lovely old town; Patty knew where all the wild flowers grew, and the haunts and habits of all tbe "little people of the woods." In return for her helpful ness Miss Lincoln gave ber daily lefr; sons in her art, and the aptitude and interest of he, pupil surprised her. "With her lore of nature, her won derful power of obserratlon, and the natural genius which I really bellevo the child has, I should not wonder af all if your little Patty is not a famous woman some day," she said to Miss Minnie Westover. Aunt Minnie smiled Incredulously. "I must confess such a thing would surprise me a great deal." . "Well wait and see," said Miss Lin coln. "I Intend to talk to ber father nd mother before I go away. If she M given tbe proper opportunities, she will surprise you." . And Miss Lincoln proved a true Evct live -tie bines' ? Ties 70a Itaow low dark everything look.

MIMIO NAVAL COMBATS How the Kmperor Clandlns Entertaiaed Hie Frienda. At the time of the Roman empire, the love of splendid spectacle, in which flowed freely the blood of human be ings, found gratification in naval com bats which were exhibited like other (Kiows, by the Emperor. They were termed naumachlae, and history gives a minute account of one that took place during the reign of Claudius. The scene of action was Lake Fucino. Captives and criminals to the number of 1,900 were collected, placed on board a hundred ships, and drawn up lu two opposing squadrons, called derisively the Rhodlans and the Sicilians. The ships were large triremes and quad riremes. To prevent the escape of the combatants, guards were stationed round the lake, and the rafts were guarded by towers and platforms, on which stood catapults and other en gines to command tbe fighting ships. In' front of the rafts were arranged vessels from the Emperor's fleet to compel tbe victims to engage or to mas sacre them If they refused. In the mid dle of the lake rose a silver Triton, who wound his horn for a signal and en couragement to fight while artificial monsters played round him in the wa ter. The rising ground about the lake was fitted with seats, like an amphi theater, and was occupied by an eager multitude, among whom was Claudius himself, and the princes of tbe blood. In their military dress, and the Em press, In a splendid gold and purple robe. The poor wretches that were doomed to such ignoble battle, cried ont to the Emperor: "Halt sovereign lord! We whose Uvea are forfeit salute thee." The Emperor answered, "Hall!" which the hopeful unfortunates took to mean that they were pardoned. Not so, Xor seeing that they delayed when tbe signal waa gian, Claudius sprang from hla throne, and, tottering on his weak knees, ran round the lake, urging them on by gestures, and threatening them with Instant destruction if tbey did not begin. Seeing that there was no escape, tbe poor victims to thia brutal caprice attacked one another. At first there waa little loss, but warm ing to the fight on becoming desperate, they at length abed sufficient blood to satisfy the spectators, and the Uvea of the remainder, wore pared. seat Bow Bh On Away tram th Artfan .

Though it can be used much in the same way as the old Harvey torpedo. with which some of our ships were equipped before the advent of tbe Whitehead, by being towed at an angle under an enemy's ship (provided she allowed the operator to come near enough to do so), its principal fcnctlon Is tbe defense of ports and harbors. It differs from tbe Brennan. which to all Intents and purposes Is an automobile weapon, but at the same time it Is much simpler, and probably much less expen sive, though special arangements have to be made for its use. An endless chain is stretched round four horizontal wheels and pulleys so as to cover the portion to be guarded, and is set in mo-j tion by means of a second chain, driven! by an engine on shore. To the first-. mentioned chain a scries of Lege tor pedoes are attached at Intervals and; tbe idea is that as the chain moves round on its rollers the channel Is con stantly patrolled, as It were, by two lines of traveling mines moving in op posite directions, so that it would be practically impossible for a ship to pasa through this guarded zone unscathed. Immediately tbe chain is stopped the; torpedoes become harmless, for on the strain being taken off the towing lever, it automatically folds back against thei head, and in so doing moves a safety' catch into such a position as to prevent) tbe striker in the point of the torpedo! moving. In this position It may be struck or handled with impunity, but it is claimed that the moment It Is1 towed through the water it becomes once more a deadly peril to any ship that may graze It The Lege torpedo is constructed of Delta metal, whlcb, while being as strong as steel, is not liable to rust and corrosion from immersion In water. Tbe charge Is of cylindrical shape, and Is easily Inserted and removed from the head of tbe torpedo, so that the appar atus can be stored with perfect safety ready to band, while the charges are placed out of barm's way in a maga zine. Other advantages claimed for it are those of automatically adjusting Itself to the depth required, and, on en countering the defensive nets oT an Ironclad, of assuming a certlcal posi tion, diving beneath them, and striking the huU with its point as soon aa it is clear. The great point In favor of the new weapon would appear to be its simplicity, but on the other hand, it does not seem Impossible for an enemy to so damage or destroy the endless chain as to stop Its motion, when tbe whole set of torpedoes would at once become innocuous. Nor, for that mat ter, does it seem very Improbable that its working might be affected by the explosion of one of its own torpedoes. London Naval and Military Record. The Adjective. A writer in Longman's Magazine saya that everybody nowadays In prose or poetry claps on an adjective to every noun. It degrades the adjective and enervates the noun. Then. too. there are a host of vulgar. overdressed people introduced Into our company, whom we. the old-fashioned adjectives, hardly recognize "strenu ous," "intense," "weird," "fiery," "sym pathetic" "splendid," "secure," "naive," impressive," poignant," mostly at tached, too, to the wrong nouns. There are too many adjectives, and they carry too much sail, like Delilah bedecked, ornate and gay. I noticed, as an Instance the other way, a criticism in a French review of the academician sea-captain who calls himseif Pierre Loti, whose style is so defecated that be seldom or never use? M"1 dJec0ve more startling than -good." -bad." "ffreen." "light," nd bo on; and yet so orders his sentence that the adjective shine ont like a rose on a brier-bush. or Mw'e This! "T c.

A fox, having been pursued by a Barnard, Vt, hunter and two hounds, escaped In a novel manner. The anl mal was being closely pressed by th dogs, when it dashed across the rail road track In front of a fast-movin; train. Tbe fox barely succeeded Id reaching the other side of the track ahead of the approaching locomotive, but the dogs were not so fortunate. The hounds were so eager for their prey that they did not heed the train, and both were killed ALABASTINE durable and Datura eemem base wall coating, In S lb. paper packages, made ready for use is white and fourteen beautiful tinta by miring with cold water. It is a cement that goes through a process of setting, hardens with age, and can be coated and recoated without washing off ita old coats before renem3g. ALABASTINE Is entirely different from all the various kalsominee on the market, being durable and not stuck on the wall with glue. Alabastina customers should insist on having the goods in packages properly labeled. They should reject all imitations. There is nothing "just as good.1 ALABASTINE Prevents much sickness, particularly throat and lung difficulties, attributable to unsanitary coatings on walls. It has beon recommended in a paper published by the Michigan State Board of Health on account of ita sanitary features: which paper strongly condemned kalsominee. AlabaBtine can be used on either plastered walls, wood ceilings, brick or canvas, and any one can brat-h it on. It admits of radi cal changes from well paper decorations, thus securing at reasonable expense the latent and besteffects. Alabasiineismanufactured by tbe jUMutCoEfwnyofdrd fopi&nkiipi.
