LICIA WELLINGTON waa 28
years old and she had never re
ceived an offer of marriage nor
llad a lover. Her two younger sisters
were both happily mnrried Gertrude to
a young man who had adored her from
childhood and Lottie to an elderly wid
ower who bad fallen In love with her
at her coming-out parry. Gertrude had
refused three offers before marrying
John Kelson; Lottie, who was a born
coquette, had received homage from al
most every man Ue knew from the
time she cculu talk.
Alicia was serious and rather
haughty. Her friends called her "in
tellectual," and this same Intellectual
ity made her unpopular with men, who
were generally her Inferiors in ber cho
sen style of conversation. If not In
depth of thought. - Until now Alicia
had affected to despise the other sex.
Lottie's flirtations and Gertrude's con
quests had seemed frivolous to her. But
she wished to be a well-rounded woman
and it suddenly occurred to her that
she knew nothing of love, although It
was one of the chief things of life. The
fact that she was different from other
glrla and their Inferior in one respect
"BBS THHIBS Ml CLZVEB.
waa brought home to her by a medita
tion on love and matrimony which fol
lowed the receipt of a letter announc
ing the engagement of the only un
married one of her classmates. To be
sure, AUcla was younger than the other
girls, but she had come ont the same
year.
"It Is all very wen not to marry," she
aald to herself in conclusion, "but it Is
add not to attract a single suitor. There
must be something lacking in me. I
have always known that I didn't like
men, but it Is strange that men don't
like me. I can accomplish almost any
thing If I make up my mind to it I
will have a lover. I need not marry
him, of course, but I will have him des
perately In love with me, so that I shall
Save an Impassioned offer; then I will
afuse him."
Alicia cast about her list of male ac
amalntances with a view to selecting a
anl table man for ber experiment Fi
nally ah ohose Reggy De Greve. Reg
gy waa a year younger than AUcla. He
Sraa as frivolous as any girl and de-'
SOedly effeminate In his looks and
pray. He had been one of Lottie's n ti
met ops admirers. In an Impassive wny,
bat he had never gotten up courage to
propose to her. He had not been sure
that he wanted to do so. Now he came
to the house rather because he was u -eil
to coming to see "the ladies," once In so
often. Alicia's mother waa fond of
him, for she had known him since he
was in dresses and she regarded him
' as a boy. Of Alicia he stood somewhat
In awe.
"Reggy will be a good one to begin
, with," thought that young woman. "He
will be easy 'to Influence. After I have
refused him I can try some one more
rtlfflcult."
Thus Miss Wellington began her ca
reer as a flirt Thatevening Reggy
came to the house. He found Alicia
wonderfully Interesting. She talked
about cotillon figures, pretty girls,
fudges, and golf. Reginald waa lu de
mand as a cotillon leader, he was a
chevalier des dames, an expert chafldg
dish cook, aad an aspiring golf player.
"Gwaclous, I never thought she knew
so much," he said to himself aa he left
the house. But this was only because
Alicia had displayed knowledge of the
subjects with which Reggy waa con
versant for he had always kiion u u.i
she was "intellectual."
It was scarcely a week before Regg.v
again presented himself at the Welling
tons'. He asked for Miss Wellington
Instead of for "the ladles." He was un
conscious of the neglect of Mrs. Well
ington, but wary AUcla smiled wUc;i
she, alone, was summoned to the draw
log-room.
"Oh, Mr. De Greve," she said hereto
fore she had called him Reggy "I au
so glad to see you. I know you car
help me solve something that has been
worrying my poor brain."
She took a seat beside the young man
and submitted the "something" that
had been worrying her. It was only a
charade, an Intricate one, however, tc
which Alicia knew the answer. Reg;
Aid not suspect tliat and he was gooi
at puzzles. He solved this one easily
and explained the elaborate process to
Miss Wellington.
"Thank you, Mr. De Greve, you ar

NIGHT IN A BUFFALO HIDE.
Queer Imprisonment of a
Hunter la
tne NortkwMt
A party of scouts from the stations
on Bledsoe's Creek, in Sumner County,
was over In Wilson on a tour of obser
vation for Indian signs, says the Port
iuad Oregonlan. As they prepared to
camp late one winter afternoon Capt
Jennings, who waa on of the number,
ti.utvd out to kill a buffalo from a herd
which was near by.
There was a heavy sleet on the
ground, and he found It difficult to get
a good range on account of the noise
of his feet on the crackUng lc, but af
ter following th game for several
miles he at last killed a very large bull.
Fearing that the meat might be In
jured if left until the next morning, he
skiuned the animal and took out the
viscera. By the time be was done night
had tome, and he decided to remain
with his meat instead of seeking camp
in the darkness. So, wrapping the hug
hide around him, flesh side out, he lay
downand slept very comfortably until
morning. On waking be found himself
tightly Imprisoned In the hide, wh!oh
had frozen hard and now resisted all
his efforts to escape.
Hour after hour rolled by In agony to
the captain. He yelled at the top of
his voice for help and strained and
kicked with all his might at the raw
hide inclosure, but it proved stubborn
to the last degree. He doubtless swore
many a bitter oath, for he was of too
Irascible a temperament to submit
tamely. 'He expected hla companions
to search for blm, and they did, but
with a great deal of caution, fearing
that he had been killed by the Indian.
His prolonged absence could be ac-
counted for in no other way. He gave
up all hope of extricating himself as
the hours wore away, but help which
he hnd not thought of was to save hlin
from a death which would have been
extremely mortifying, at the least to
a man who had escaped Indian bullets
and swam Icy rivers like a beaver. We
will let htm relate the Issue In his own
words: "Well, the sun came out In the
afternoon, and this softened the bide
on the top so I could get one arm out.
ard when I got one arm out I worked
.Ike plzen until I got my body
through."

Aa all cooking Is done with charcoal

. The arrangement of furniture Is
much more formal than In the United
States. It Is a very common sight to
see a splendidly furnished parlor with
a row of straight-backed1 chairs, all

A good Mexican cook relieves th
mistress of the house of worry and re
sponsibility In a manner that Is almost
unknown in the United States. The
cook Is given so much per day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions of the
day, Including even the staples that arc
usually bought In large quantities In
other countries. On a dollar a day a
cook will provide a very good table for
a family of three or four, and gel
enough beans and torlllas and chile t
set the servants' tables besides. They
can really do better than their mis
tress, because they can usually drive
sharper bargains with the market men
of their own class, and they have mors
patience to haggle over the last penny.

A Cannibal Story.
In the long winter evenings, which In

and July, the little Boer children sit
around the fires and listen to stories
tike this: .
There waa once a woman who had a
ou named Magoda. She became a can
nibal and .ate up all the people In the
village.
One day her two nieces ran away
from their home and hid in her house,
hut they did not know her. Their cous
in Magoda came and talked to them.
Then they hid. The woman said:
"I smell something nice. What Is It
my son? Surely I smell fat children."
Then she went to the woods and com
menced to cut down a tree with an ax.
When the first chips fell a bird called
atengu sang: -Ntcngu!
ntengu!
Chips, return to your places!
Chips, return to your places!
Chips, be quick!
The chips then went back to the tree.
This happened three times. 'Hbcn the
woman caught the bird and swallowed
it, but one of the feathers dropped out
f her mouth. She tried to cut down
the tree again, but this time the feather
sang the same song, and the chips flew
back to the tree.
The two nieces had been hiding in the
branches of the tree. They saw three
dogs as big aa oxen. These they knew
belonged to their father, so they called
to the dogs, who'ate up the wicked
woman, and so the girls went back to
their father singing the song of the
feather. '
Saved by a Doll.
An exchange gives a story told by an
Indian agent of the manner In which a
loll averted an Indian war.
Oa one occasion Gen. Crook was try
ing to put a band of Apaches back on
their reservation, but could not catch
them without killing them, and that he
did not wish to do.
One day bis men captured a little In
llan girl and took her to the fort She
was quiet all aay, saying not a word,
but her beady black eyes watched ev
erything. When night came, however,
she broke down and sobbed. Just as any
white child would have done.
The men tried In vain to comfort her,
until the agent had an idea. From an
tflicer's wife be bortowed a pretty doll
:hnt belonged to her little daughter, and
when the Apache was made to under
stand that she could have It her sobs
'eased and she fell asleep. When morn-
tng came the doll was still clasped in
her arms. She played with it ail day,
tnd apparently all thought of getting
back to ber tribe left her.
Several daya passed, and then the lit
tle Apache girl, with the doll still In
ier possession, was sent back to h r
(H-ople. When the child reached the
Indians with the 'pretty doll In ber
.-hubby hands It made a great sensation
ttuong them, and the next day the
mother came with the child to the post
ihe was kindly received and hospitably
rented, and through her the trine was
: rsunded to move back to the reserve

Assistant District Attorney Osboraa,

his energetic prosecution f th Moli
neux case, tells this story:
"Some years ago I was spending a
vacation at Rhlnecllff, N. Y trying to
recuperate my shattered health. I
stayed at a farmhouse which waa the
property of a man named William
Travis. He was often subject to fits
of melancholy, and hi that condition
was wont to say that be was tired of
his Ufa of drudgery and toil, aad was
almost tempted to end bis wearisome
existence. Things went along smooth
ly until one night he went out to attend
to the stock and was gone rather long
er than usual. I thought he might have
met with some accident, and started
for the barn to look for him. My worst
fears were realised, for there was Trav
Iss hanging by a harness trace from a
beam.
"I hastily whipped out my knife and
cut the trace, picked blm up and car
ried him Into the bouse and ran two
miles Into RhlnecUff for a doctor. He
recovered, and gave his solemn word
that he would never try to commit sui
cide again. I left there two days after
ward, and upon asking for my bill
Travlsa named an amount Just S2 overti
what I was sure I owed. Upon asking
an explanation of the added f2, Travlas

Wheat Land to B Opened.
The alarm about the early exhaustion
or Insufficiency of the world's wheat
supply may be somewhat abated by the
facts In connection with an application
for charter of a new Canadian railroad.
The title of the proposed road Is the
Quebec and Lake Huron, and Its route
Is from the mouth of French River, on
Georgian Bay, across the Ottawa at
Mattana and the St Maurice at
Grandes Plies, to Quebec The distance
is 440 miles, or 135 miles shorter than
from Parry Sound. Included In the
line la a great plateau, embracing
3,000,000 acres of forest and farming
lands, now out of reach of railroads,
and said to be capable of easily sup
porting a population of 500,000.
The region through which the new
road will pass Is well adapted to wheat
growing, and the plan Includes great
grain elevators for the accommodation
of this resource. Incidentally the
project calls attention to the fact that
Canada has other large tracts of unde
veloped territory adapted to the grow
ing spring wheal.' This area, added to
that about to be opened by the Trans
Siberian Railroad, will certainly post
pone for some years the shortage pre
dicted by Sir WUllam Crookee. Mean
time the wheat farmer Is not receiving
a price for bis product Indicative of any
popular fear or speculative belief In the

what was wrong the front door flew

Loss of the privilege of making an
occasional use of Italic type to a depri
vation which some of us have bad the
hardihood recently to lament hut a
story about himself which Henry La
bouchere tells In Truth brings a sort
of consolation for the inconvenience
Imposed by the new methods of com

Forbes one wrote an article for Truth
In which there was a statement so vig

He therefore obtained the famous cor
respondent's permission to cut the
dangerous sentence. This done, the
editor drew his pen through the words,
or rather he tried to do so, but In his
haste he made the line lower than he
had Intended, and the compositor
thought that the sentence was under
scored instead of suppressed. The con
sequence was that It appeared la Truth
Italicised, and the man to whom It re
ferred, who might have pardoned an
attack la ordinary type, fell Into a great
rage over an accusation made with
such emphasis and brought a libel suit
against the paper.

his noonday lunch on th shady side
of a high board fanes, when a tramp
sidled up and sat down oa the end of a
stick of timber about a dosen feet
away The tramp bad nothing to say,
but seemed to be absorbed ra watching
the workingman devoar a hug wedge

evidently very good pi. Finally the
tramp spoke.

That never makes any callous

thm man In overalls, good-naturedly.
but the tramp paid no heed to the inter
ruption.
"I was Just thinking,'' he went on,
"what a wonderful country this Is of
ours."
"Yes, and It'll be a heap sight won
derf uller when we get through expand
ing it" suggested the workingman.
"No doubt of that" admitted the
tramp. ' "But think of Its extent and
wealth, now. Why, did It ever strike
you that we have under our star-spangled
fence, as it were, two thousand
million acres of land, and our wealth is
equal to seventy-five thousand mlll.ons
of dollars? Think of those stupendous
figures, sir; and we are only as yet in
our Infancy the youngest nation of
any Importance on the globe."
"It's a loo-too," was the strongest
thing the workingman could say, but
he said It fervently.
"Yes," continued the tramp, "and
think 'that for those seventy-five thou
sand millions of dollars there could be
furnished to our people one billion five
hundred thousand million pies as big
as that one you have Just got away
with, and yet I haven't stuck a tooth
into a piece of pie In six months. I
haven't help me. Dick Robinson."
The man In overalls looked at him
sympathetically.
"Well, you ought to be In better
luck," he said. "I eat one like It every
day. So long." And he went back to
work, leaving the tramp on the end of
the stick of timber still thinking.
