"Are you cold?" He asked the ques
tion politely, but not solicitously.
Each time he had walked to the top of
the little sand dune and back again to
the lone figure sitting In silent dignity
among the straggly sword grasses and
sand cherries he had asked the same
question with the same result.
"Thanks; not at all." said Jea mette
without removi ig her gaze from the
blot of ink splashed on the lake's sun
set stained breast far to the westward
that represented Macatawa island.
"Are you hungry?''
' "No."
The other times he had gone away to
his solitary lookout point when she had
uttered that frozen negative. Now he
paused and took another look at her.
She was cold. She must be cold in
that lacy, foolish, exquisite excuse for
a rational garment which she wore. It
was nearly 7, and there had sprung uy
HI OLAXCED CP DtDIOHANTLY.
a fresh, cool lake breeze since the sun
■hot Its last crimson shaft above the
pines of the mainland shore. He was
cold with his coat and sweater on. "If
only she would give some sign of
weakening!" be thought and then
caught a glimpse of her profile—the up
lifted rebellious chin and the short up
per lip, the straight little nose, with Its
delicious tendency to tilt heavenward,
and tbe fluttering wisps of straying
curls that the wind tossed where it
pleased—and his foot ground an unof
fending clump of aspiring clover In the
■and.
If she had never kissed him, It would
hare been another matter, but she
bad—not once; he could distinctly re
member several times. And they were
not cousinly kisses either. Eleanor
kissed him In a cousinly fashion
friendly, mild little shies at his chin
or eyebrow—when he had a birthday
or left for college, but Jean had been
different—different ever since he could
remember, when, a thin, big eyed, red
haired young creature of six, she had
proclaimed her love for him from the
housetops and graciously showered
him with favors varying from sticky
caramel kisses to the eyes of her loved
doll when the latter went the way of
her kind. He looked at his watch. The
boat could not possibly reach them
from Macatawa before another half
hour. It would make a landing on Its
way around tbe lake to gather up tbe
cottagers for the hop!
"Are you hungry?"
It was a last appeal. Jeannette
plucked a spray of sand cherries and
began to eat them stoically. He re
membered other girls with red hair
who had tbe same pleasant, madden
ing little ways at critical moments. It
must be In tbe color, or was It Just
pure—
She glanced up indignantly when he
knelt beside her and wrapped bis coat
around her and then laughed when she
saw the look on his face.
"I like you when you're like that,
Tom," she said.
"Like what?"
"Oh, Just brace up and boss me and
forget you're only a boy! Can you see
the boat yet?"
"No; I'm not a boy. Does Kerwin
boss you ?"
"Not very much; sometimes. Ile'a
never rude."
"Isn't that pleasant?" After a pause,
"Do you like him so awfully well?"
He was stretched out on tbe sand at
her feet, all his heart In his eyes as
be looked at her. They were good
eyes that bad not yet lost tbe frank,
questioning directness of boyhood.
Jeannette gazed steadily at the red
light that bad suddenly flickered to
life In tbe lighthouse at Osbourne
point.
"Pretty well," (he said thoughtfully.
"Better than you do me?"
"You are ao disagreeable at times,
Tom, that It isn't fair to Judge." she
returned generously. "You keep one
so In doubt, you know, and Mr. Kerwin
Is always the same. He la one of tbe
moat amiable men I have aver met."
"I hate amiable men."
"How you must love yourself, dear!"
"Don't call me dear. When we fight,
you always ring In tbe cousin racket
and 'dear boy' me. I'm not a boy."
"Don't growl ao. You are a boy, six
feet one and a hundred and sixty
pounds of good, aolld, sweet tempered
lovable boy. I wonder If Mr. Kerwin
will be worried about me and come on
tbe boat. He has the first waltz."
"Yon alwaya give him waltzes. All
I get are two steps. What fellow has
any chance In a two step?"
'Two steps were made for you, Tom.
Your graceful prance la heavenly. I
feel aa If I had been at a football game
when you slow up and deposit my re
mains on a friendly chair. But one
doesn't waits as.lf one were wound up
llko a toy engine to scoot from wall to
wall In a frenzy. Mr. Kerwin learned
In Europe, he says."
"If I could think that you only did It
to torment me, the way It was with
Bob and Cliff Maxon and the rest, I
wouldn't care a hang. But some way
he seems different. He's forty-flve"—
"Thlrty-slx."
"It's all the same, and I know Uncle
Nick smells cold canh or he'd never
throw you at his head the way ba
does."
"ne docpu't throw me at his head,"
came the* hot denial. "Eleanor Is al
ways with us."
"Oh, well, Eleanor, she'a most thir
ty"—
"Twenty-five last April."
"I don't care. She wouldn't look at
Kerwin. If be comes on tbe boat, I'll
throw him In the lake."
"You sweet child! Tom, dear, do you
know"—
"No; I don't kuow," he retorted bit
terly. "I don't know anything, Jennie,
except that I love you, and you don't
care a rap."
There was silence. After a few min
utes she stole a glance at him. His
bead was lying on his arms, his face
hlddep. She smiled a little, tremulous,
fearful smile. What a boy be was! A
man would have known, taken It for
granted anyway. But all be did was
avow bis cause and lay dowu heart
and sword before tbe battle had even
begun.
Far off on the distant marsh some
Bight fowl sent a quavering, anxious
cry across the lake! anU tjfe'e wttfcr Up
ped laxily among tbe reeds down near
the rickety old pier.
She shivered aud looked away from
the strong, athletic young figure lying
among the sword grasses at her feet.
If he had not been going away that
night! How long half a year seems
when one must be alone! But he wnn
such a boy! She turned and laid her
hand on his shoulder.
"Tom, don't do that," she said quick
ly. a little frown contracting her eye
brows. '"I didn't know. You always
acted as If it were half fun. Don't
you know you did? And Bob and Cliff
weren't to earnest. Boys aren't gener
ally. They fall in love because—oh,
Just because! And I thought you were
the same. I didn't think you would
want it to be forever, the way men
do."
No response from the prostrate fig
ure. Her hand wandered to his hair.
It was thick, wavy hair. She had lov
ed to pull it back iu the old days when
she had been angry with him. One
could get such a splendid grip.
"You never said you really wanted
me, you know. Tom." The words did
not come as easily now. "Mr. Kerwin
proposed, really and truly, in the reg
ulation way, like a man. You never
even proposed."
The figure sat bolt upright.
- "What did he say?"
"The boat has ieft the island."
"How did he do it?"
•They'll be here pretty soon."
"Jean, look at me. Don't laugh."
After awhile, when they could hear
the slow, faint whistle of the boat and
walked down to the pier together
swinging hands, he asked suddenly:
"Did I do it right?"
"Lovely!"
"You dear! Better than Kerwin?"
"Ask Eleanor!" she said.
A Barber and I'oet.
Jasmin, the Gascon poet, who was
also a barber, had many a strange ad
venture arising from the Incongruity
of his two professions.
At one time when he was visiting
the mayor of a French town and had
promised to'give an informal recitation
to the townspeople the hour arrived,
and his host did not appear. Several
Important personages assembled (o ac
company them to the hall, but the
maj'or remained invisible, busied with
bis toilet
Finally, fearing the Impatience of Ill's
guests, he opened tbe door of bis
chamber to apologize and showed bis
face covered with lather.
"Just a moment," said be; "I am fin
ishing my shaving."
"Oh," said Jasmin, "let me help
you."
He at once doffed his coat, gave a
finishing touch to the razor and shaved
the mayor in a twinkling with what
he called his "hand of velvet." In a
few minutes he was In the hall receiv
ing tumultuous applause for his splen
did recitations.
From Medicine to the Drawn.
The earlier part of Victorlen Sar
dou's career was beset with many
trials and difficulties. His parents
wished him to take up a medical ca
reer, and ho began his studies with
some zeal. The love of the drama,
however, was far greater than the
love of the pill box, and in the inter
val of the other work Sardou was
busy upon a play. Life was a struggle
for him, for he had little money,
though he managed to pet Journalistic
work to supplement his more slender
income. His first play was a failure,
and Sardou rushed from the theater
vowing never (o enter one again. He
fell seriously 111, was nursed back to
health by Mile, de Brecourt, an .ac
tress who lived on a floor below, and
from that time his fortune was made.

BUTTER AS A MEDICINE.
ft la Good For Consumptives nnfl
For Tliln, Weak People.
Butter Is so common a commodity
that people ufie it and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand iu the pats of dainty yellow
cream fat. Of course they know that it
is useful in many branches of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare of its thinly rolled bread
and butter, its delicate cakelcts mid its
other usual accessories. Beyond these
uses the value of butter Is a thing only
Vaguely thought of.
But Ibis delicate fat is as valuable
as the dearer cod liver oil for weakly,
thin people, and doctors have frequent
ly recommended the eating of many
thin slices of bread thickly spread with
butter as a means of pleasantly taking
Into the bodily tissues one of the pur
est forms of fat It is possible to get.
Butter is a carbon, and all excess of
It Is stored up 11s fat In the body. It
gives energy and power to work to
those who cat heartily of it. So It is
not economy at table to spare the but
ter, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery, If plenty of fat can be digest
ed, Is one of the beat ways of curing
the disease if It Is in Its early stages
or of keeping it at bay If advanced.
Butter Is not n simple fat, composed
of merely one sort. It Is a mixture of
no less than seven different sorts of
fats, and no more complex oil can be
taken than this is.

the car was a middle aged English

America ventured to address him.
"I think I could make a great Im

Two Englishmen were discussing
with Mark Twain the old topic of
American humor as not appreciated by
foreigners.
"But are the English really so ob
tuse?" asked one of them.
"Obtuse: You can't get an idea Into
an Englishman's head with a surgical
operation," declared Mark Twain.
The questioner remained In solemn
thought for a moment. Then he broke
Into ii hearty laugh.
"Quite a delicious joke!" he exclaim
ed. "Though of course if you were
to open the Englishman's skull you
would kill him. would you not?"
Mark Twain turned to the second
Englishman. "What did I tell you 7
lie wants to know whether It wouldn't
kill him!"
The countenance of the second Eng
lishman was like a blank wall.
"Wouldn't it?" he queried. New York
