Franeesca cliiiibed the stairs w.th dragging Dick caught l'p 'v ill Let* and supported her elbow with Lis Btrong, firm band It was good to :*eel liis support, his presence, even though she had grown somewhat ac customed to it. and she turned to him with a wan smile. At the head of the first flight of stairs they turned into Mrs. Miller's little sitting room, and Franeesca dropped wearily into the low rocker by the window. Dick sat on the window ledge swinging his feet. Ilis hall bed room was on the floor above. Fran eesca had the room next to Mrs. Mil ler's, but since their engagement had been announced the good natirred land lady had rather turned her little sit ting room over to their use. "In my days young folks didn't have to do their courtiug in the park, and I don't think it's right and proper," she had said in explanation to her old est boarder, a crusty bachelor. And now the two young people sat In the twilight, typifying the two sec tions of the country from which they had come—Franeesca, gentle, clinging and drooping in the fierce struggle for existence in the great northern city, shrinking from the clamor of trains overhead, the clang of surface cars at her side and longing for the mellow moonlight and the voice of the night ingale In her old southern home; Dick, alert, quick, fascinated by the oppor tunities which had drawn him from a midwest farm. lie had brought nervous energy and strong, vigorous blood, and New York loves to sap and live off them both. They had met on the commercial highway and loved. At least Dick was quite sure of it on his side. Tonight—well, Franeesca hardly knew what was wrong tonight. "A whole day to ourselves tomor row, sweetheart," he was saying. "Yes," replied Franeesca bitterly. "That's what nil the girls were saying today. You'd think we were slaves— and—well, wo are!" Dick looked at her in surprise. Then he spoke cheerily. "Well, we shan't be always. Do you know, Franeesca, that little venture in real estate is coming out all right. I could have sold my share today at a net gain of a thousand. But I think Fll hang on until we're married, and we'll build on the corner lot." "And you'll be a commuter, and Fll die of loneliness through the day." Dick eyed her anxiously. "Things go wrong at the shop? Well, never mind. Tomorrow we'll have the whole day"— "Don't nay that again," she com manded, then corrected herself quick ly. "I mean, where shall we go?" "If you don't mind, I'd like to take a few flowers out to one of the cemeter ies. Then, otwu.K inc *urpri»e in tier face, he added hastily: "Not that I've uuy one burled arouud here, only at home on Memorial day we always put flowers on the soldiers' graves, and I guess we can find plenty of 'em around here. Then we'll go down to one of the beaches on the boat. We won't get off. Just take tlie water rid'?." Francesca's hands were clasped tight ly over her crossed knees, "You can do as you like. I'll never decorate a Federal soldier's grave. Dick Merrill, never! If It hadn't been for that war I'd not be in this dreadful, dreadful city working—working like a slave for sls a week, with girls who don't know how to dress, to talk, to act. My people always had money, but my grandfather was killed In your war. My father could not regain what the war had swept away. He died struggling with the problem, and my mother followed him with a broken heart. I bate the north, even though I had to come and ask it for bread. And you ask me to decorate the graves of men who devastated my home!" "I didn't think, Franeesca, dear; hon estly I didn't. You see, we've always kept the day. My folks fought 011 the other side, and then 1 guess I'm a bit old fashioned. It seems natural to go to the cemetery, and I didn't think of how you might feel." "That's it. You didn't think. You'll never understand me," the girl said In low, passionate tones. "There's the Mason and Dixon line between us. You northern men are so different. You're all business and dollars. You get us southern girls up here and grind our lives out." Dick looked serious now, b'lt he forced a smile. "If the north had not claimed your talents, dear, we would never have met." he said, and it was her cue to ■often, but she did not take it. "Oh, I hate it! 1 hate it—the air. the noise, the rush! It has no cowpensa tions." She d'd not mean it just that way, but Dick took the words literally. He stood up suddenly and very straight. "I am sorry. Franeesca, that you think I cannot make you happy." And when she looked up he had left the room so quietly that she could hardly believe the move had been tak en by vigorous, stalwart Dick Merrill. • •••«*• She did not come down to breakfast the next morning, and when Mrs. Mil ler appeared at her bedside with a cup of coffee and some golden brown toast the sound of muffled drums in the dis tance to!d her that the parade was in motion. "Dear me, suz, but the house seems quiet! it's funny how all New York du*>s make the inost of a holiday. Mr. Merrill said you weren't feeling well, but I think It would have done you good to go out." Franeesca sipped at tier coffee with out replying. "Seems as if 1 Just must go myself, but IJzzle, she was set on taking the day off, and she's such a good help I didn't want to cross ber, but I do hate to miss going to the cemetery. Isn't it funny, Mr. Merrill and I from the same town? J Knew just how he felt tl\i> ui'tt'flliig when he said Vl'd go ««it and decorate some graves. We always did it at home, with the G. A. It. at the head of the procession and the children carrying the flowers and wreaths. I didn't lose anybody close in {ho war-, as near as I can re inomber, but it meant a lot to Dick Merrill's folks," Fnilicesctt looked up suddenly. "Ain't he ever told you?" Mrs. Miller said in surprise. "Well, mebbe he thought the war was a tender subject with you southerners. Why, his grand father enlisted and took his three laoys with him. All foilr <>( 'viM are buried among the unkuown dead somewhercs ■uutn of the Mason aud Dixon line. Mary Ann Merrill—that's Dick's moth er- she somehow couldn't make things go. and she wound up in the poor farm. Yes. there were plenty of folks that took to the poor farms after the war. But Dick, he wasn't the kind to stay there. Blood will tell, and he had mora of his father's blood than his mother's In him. When I see him, so straight and good looking, so well dressed and carrying himself as if he expected to own New York before he got done, I say that blood will tell every time. There's some folks that even having their whole family wiped out by the war won't down, and that's the sort Dick is. My laws, there's that bell again! Don't you want any more toast? Well, you'd better come down after awhile and we'll hare a little lunch. Nome of the boarders will be home before dinner time." But one of the boarders did come in very soon. He had a florist's box In his hand, and he walked quietly Into Mrs. Miller's sitting room, where Franeesca, looking a bit pale from her headache, but very sweet and gentle, rose at his entrance. "Oh, Dick, have you come back for me? Is it too late to go?" "I guess we won't go, Franeesca. You see. I didn't understand—and these are violets for you instead." "Oh. but we will go, you aud I to gether, dear. It was I who didn't un derstand, and we must have common Interests, dear heart. We can't afford to let the old feud come between us of the third generation. We'll scatter those violets over the graves of the un known dead." And so they went forth into the beau tiful spring sunlight, and Mrs. Miller, peeping from behind the curtains of the basement, smiled as If sight of theiu had made the whole day glad for her. The ISnßllali Face. It was an American who, meeting an Englishman In a country hotel in the States, opened conversation sympathet ically with the words: "Cheer up! It may not be true, and if it is true it may be all for the best." And he was surprised to find that the Briton's look of acute gloom was normal and not the result of any more than ordinarily bad news. The prevailing notion of the American with regard to the English man is that he looks "as if his only friend on earth was a yellow dog, and he had lost the dog." For years the inhabitants of the States have been scrutinizing, the faces of British vis itors to try to ascertain whether their resigned expression Is due to a recent bereavement, confirmed misanthropy or simply to superciliousness. According to a weekly paper, some Americans at tribute the English face to the English climate. "They did not look actually sad." said an American lady to the writer, "or happy or preoccupied, but they one and all had an expression of resignation—the only state of mind pos sible with an English climate." This is an ingenious explanation. Centuries of ruin and years of fog may have had their effect on our looks. There is. in deed, a certain dignity In the idea.— London Globe. One- of TyminH'N Heroic Experiment* In I*o4 Tyndall performed the ex periment of separating light from heat. In the course of the Investigations which enabled him to do tliis lie made oue of the most daring experiments that ever a scientific man ventured 011. Knowing a layer of lodine placed be fore the eye intercepted the light, l.e determined to place his own eye in the focus of strong invisible rays. He Vncw that if lu doing so the dark rays were absorbed In a high degree by the humors of the eyes the albumen of the humors might coagulate, and, on the other hand, if there was 110 high absorption the rays might strike upon the retina with a force sulHcient to de stroy it. When he first brought his eye undefended near the dark focus the heat 011 the parts surrounding the pupil was too Intense to be endured. He therefore made an aperture in the plate of the metal and, placing his eye be hind this aperture, he gradually ap proached the point of convergence of the Invisible rays. First the pupil and next the retina were placed in the focus without any sensible damage. Imme diately afterward a sheet of platinum foil placed in the position which the retiua had occupied became ml hot Knf nl Inn. "Pa, what's a fatalist?"

I was on my way to your place. I had hoped for this day with you." She laughed tremulously. "I wish you wouldn't hope, Jack. I'd like to have you—for—for a friend If only"— "I'd be content with that. Well, I won't. I want you for my wife, want to havo a home with you lu It, want to have you to go home to, want to work, plan, save, spend, for you. It's all you, Elsie. Are yon really going to Mrs. Young's, dear?" "Jack," she said firmly, "I don't love you. I will never marry you. This talk of yours makes me unhappy. Will you please not repeat it?" "Not till I see you again," he said good humoredly. "Another gray hat, by Jove!" his eye catching Its fresh ness. "I believe those gray hats are my hoodoo. Something is. You love me all right, my darling. Got a white hat, Elsie; white, trimmed with blue cornflowers. Just the color of your eyes. I think you'd say 'Yes' then." "I should—then." The strangeness of her voice held him. "Goodby," she said lightly and hurried away. Her eyes grew troubled, piteous. She did so want to see Dave. It came over her with a rush Just how unhappy she was, how lonesome. Her heart ached almost to bursting. The woods no longer attracted her. She turned to ward Mrs. Young's listlessly. "You're all worn out," said that lady, with concern. "That gray hat takes the color out of your face too. Gray's not becoming, Elsie. Get a blue one next time." "Or a green one," said Elsie Irritably. Brown, white, blue, had been recom mended. Why not green, red, purple? Bhe thought desperately. "You are worn out, that's sure," said Mrs. Young. Elsie took off the despised gray hat and held It lovingly In her slim hands. It comforted her. She was soon chat ting away gayly, but her head ached, and there was a strange heaviness weighing her down. She wanted to cry Instead of laugh. "Wait," said her friend as she was leaving. "I got a picture yesterday of Frank and Annie and a friend of theirs and her husband." She handed Elsie the picture. There sura enough were Frank and Annie Young and—Elsie clutched wildly at the little cardboard—Dave Brady, with a woman sitting archly on his knee, i his eyes gazing nt her adoringly. "They had them taken that way Just J for fun," explained Mrs. Young. "An . nle and Emma were friends years ago, I and they came across each other last month at Manila. They've both been • married the same length of time—three years—and there's not a month's dlf -1 ference in the ages of the children. Emma's is a girl, though." Elsie rushed blindly out of the house. Dazed, she made her way home, the pretty head sadly drooping under the | faithful gray hat. She laid It off and ( sat down beside It and gave way to tears, tears that pride had held back till she was away from prying eyes. Three years! And she waiting, watching, hoping, loving. Wife and baby, home, love, everything to till his life! And »he? An orphan, living alone, no one to care whether she came or went, was glad or sorrowful. She j sobbed on pitifully. All (light long ' ehe lay awake, going oyer, year by. year, the time between. It was almost morn lag before ah* could believe that Dave wti actually out of her life and—and— She aat up In bed and laughoA and erlod all In a breath. It waa moat wonderful. She cltmbed out of bed, found the little gray hat and bit by bit tore It Into shreda. She laughed again, then cried again and, all fiuah ed and roay, lay down and alept peace fully till long past aunup. John Stewart aat In hla office listen ing gravely to hla patient recount hla Ills.

A few years before they bad been few and far between. The next one came in slowly, a slen der, graceful creature, with fair, flushed face peering out shyly from under a soft white hat covered with blue cornflowers, the color of her eyes. "Jack!" He turned quickly, gave ona swift look and caught her In bis arms. "Elsie, my darling!" Dr. Stewart was certainly not alow wltted. "When—how?" he questioned, kiss ing her all In a breath. She put her arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "Ever since I knew you." she whis pered. "I've wanted you—you—you! Oh, Jack. I can never love you enough to make up for what I've missed." He laughed, puzzled, but blissful. "Then why?" he asked. She answered his kiss first, smiling and dimpled, then a frightened look flashed over the happy face. What— oh, what if Dave had been true, had come back! She hugged the doctor again frantically. "It was the gray hat," she cried. "It was a hoodoo. I tore It up last night. I was never so happy as while pulling It to pieces." And that was all the explanation she ever gave him, but he had the woman he loved and was as happy as Is good for mortal to be. As for Elsie, she wrote Dave a nice, friendly letter after she was married and sent his baby a present. She was so nfrald he might have fleeting mo ments of remorse, and she felt that would hardly be fair. Which goes to show that a woman's reasoning la rath er complex. All Read? to Moorm.

She ia much esteemed by her mistress and the rest of the family, and all take a vary friendly Interest in Lucy and her af fairs. When, on a recent "afternoon out," she appeared In a complete ault of mourning, several Inquiries were made with regard to her bereavement, as she had said nothing about tba re cent death of any relative. "How long have you been wearing mourning, Lucy?" asked her mistress. "Well, 'm, this is Just about the fust time Ah's worn this yere suit, and it ain't egzectly mohnln'."

The Mentis of "Mewa." Pennant, the naturalist and antiqua ry, in his "Account of London" (1790) lays that "on the north side of Charing Cross stood the royal mews, where the king's falcons had been kept since tb® time of Richard III." "Mews" Is thought to bo derived from the French muer, Latin mutare, to change or molt, and to have been used of a cage for molting birds, a* muette Is nsed in France for a place in which horns shed by stags in the for est are kept by officials of the chase. As time went on horses were kept In the lnclosures used at first for hawks, and the old name waa retained. In this connection we may quote Dryden's line, Wine times the moon hath mew'd her horns. and Milton, who speaks of'the eagle as "mewing Its mighty youth"—L e., fresher from its molting, and Shake speare, who adopts the secondary meaning. "More pity that the eagle should be mew'd." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. It is well to take time in thinking be fore making accusations. A woman who can use her eyee with effect 1b a dangerous rival. Women take fright easily over a lov er's compliments to another of the fair sex. There is a species of treason in carry ing water on both shoulders In a love affair. In every man there Is a disposition to do the grand where women are con cerned. It hurts a woman's pride to have an other woman share with her a man's attention. When one man sneers at another It is fair to presume Jealousy is at the bot tom of it. When a man regards himself aa Ir resistible It Is time to do Bome quiet thinking and self abnegation.—Philadel phia Bulletin. Corresarlo and Hla Lift, Little 1B known of Corregglo, which would argue that he was of a retiring disposition. He was born in the little town of Corregglo, twenty-four miles from Parma. In the latter city be was educated, but In his aeventeenth year an outbreak of the plague drove his family to Mantua. By 1514 he was back in Parmn. For some years he worked here and painted many famous pictures. It may have been because of grief over the death of his young wife, but at the nge of thirty-six, Indiffer ent to fame and fortune, he retired to the little town where he was born. All that is known regarding his death Is the date, March 5, 1534.—Charles H. Oaffin In St. Nicholas. Fnarral Garland*. A custom prevailed and continued even down to recent years of making funeral garlands on the death of young nnmnrrled women of unblemished char' acter.
