The houses are ull respectable country seats, Hie people II comfortable. I don't believe there Is a beggar or a crlppla In the town. And into this modern Kden, a mile from the railroad station, I walked one day. It was June, nnd nil the nlr was fragrant. The bluebirds were flitting about, nml the robins were singing on the stone walls. Some late apple tree were i:i blo.som, nnd everybody's doors aind windows were open to let In the ace-.its, nnd sounds, and Bights of early .summer. Suddenly n carriage, driven by n boy, nme nround the corner of a road. At the same moment a little Itlenholin poodle, white as wool, rushed from n cooryard, r.iul dnn'.ird ifnder Its wheels. I braird a sharp scream, saw a distract d blue cambric wrapper rushing after, and ihrew myself, nil on the impulse f the instant, Into the melee. To seize the Mts nnd raise the shivering nnd whining nnimal from the dust was but thi work of a moment. As I bore It toward the house, Ma'.), in Mali's blue cambric wrapper, with Mao's eyes, met nir. "Oh, thank you! thank you n thou sand times.' Oh, sir, do you think he is killed;" As the dog, nt that moment, gave a sharp yelp. I ventured to proclulm that he probably was not killed. "My darling: My deur, dear little Snow!" she murmured, taking the dusky nnd dismal little wretch into the lovely shelter of her bosom. As he was turning away I experienced a sudden nnd brilliant thought. "Does not Miss Flint live here?" "Yes. sir." replied Mali, pausing with 'her closely -clasped burden. "I was about to call o:i Miss Flint," .1 said, most falsely. Then Mali looked nt me again, and I am free to confess that never before or since kh'v I sueii lively eyes. "Wail: In, If you pleas " who paid, -ind I will speak to aun'.y." I congratulated myself on having dis covered so l.mch that sh was Miss Tint's niece, r.ut I whs quite desper ate for au errand. Miss Flint ap peared. "Miss FK-.it." raM I, rising and bow Ing, "I have lately heard that your iirother-la-lnw, Judge Twlng, of Maple ton, is very 111.. As I was in your vicin ity, I thought I would call and tell yon, thinking, perhap. that you had not hor.rd of It." "A relapse?" she Inquired, anxiously, No no not that I ara aware of." "My brother wns very ill some six creeks ago, but I heard yesterday tlmt he was convalescent." "Ah' well, hearing the report so late ly, I supposed his illness of recent date,' I replied. "Miss Flint will slve inn credit for good Intentions." "Certainly. You loo'.: wcrm, sir. AYill you ii'it tnUe som refreshment?" Miss Flint offered me some i'liionade, I partook freely. I lingered half an hour, tnlkiir; of everything under the aiin. but was at length forced to depart ir.-'.lhout swing Mali again. My home was at Irvii g, the town ad joining ltiixcville. I returned there that night, but could not foreet those eyes. Henceforth I haunted every public gathering, every party and pic nic of the neighborhood, but failed ut terly to jiee or hear of Mali. For I learned hor name. Mali Merle, from Bliss Flint, who !:d casually mentlon-d ier. As time passed my hopes were sub jected to repeii-ed disappointment. I ircamed of Mali's eyes, nnd cared for rohody else's ey.-s. My sisters said I sulked, and the .vnim-'er female portion of our co:a::ii:!:i!y prjliouaced me a lear. The summer paied and fall carve.

"May I inquire where you were go ing?'' an id I, gravely. "I was going home," answered she, full of engaging distress. "I was driv ing fast because I thought my aunt would be anxious about me. I never thought of meeting any one on thlf lonely road." "Well, you will have to go to Irving and stay all night. I will take you to my mother's house, and send word to your aunt to-night of what has hap pened. Do you think you can ride half a mile on a hayrack?" "I unhitched her horse nnd tied him behind my team, pulled the broken buggy to one side of the road, nnd then lifted Mab Into tho hnyracl:.

In its place Is the large wooden stirrup, similar to the one used In tho cavalry, but mostly without the leather cunrd over the front, nnd it is hero where the high heel plays Its purt. Tho wooden stir rup is so large that an ordinary shoe as worn would slip through, and it doel not take much Imagination to picture what would happen if at this time the rider should lie thrown from the sad dlo and one foot be caught In the stirrup.

An exchange satisfactory to both parties was eventually made, and the first time this visitor's wlfo took the new horse out for a drive she dis covered that the beast was as blind as a mole. A few days later, when the rustlcntor met the Frenchman, he said: "See here, you rascal! that horse you swapped with me for mine was stone blind. Why didn't yo'u tell mo of it a': the time?"

Dow to Acquire It For Dramliig-Itootn Trained HUlrt. Golfing girls and tennis-playing maid ens are apt to lose the drawing room accomplishment of walking in such "swan-like" way ns to set off the ripple and flow of n trained skirt. Evening dress is much more beautiful with a trained skirt. It gives n certain grace of Its own to the deportment, bnt this Is lost if the wearer either strides or bounces about with a step whose free dom suggests breezy nftenroons on the downs or mornings spent on the un counted miles of the links. The Creole girls of former genera tioiis were distinguished by a beautiful tripping walk, and the achievement of this drawing room grace was so- cured ns follows: The mother or gov eniess of the young girl used to tie her ankles together with a broad satin rib bon. The breadth of the ribbon nnd Its softness prevents hurting the tender ankles, and the coiitineineut prevented the girl from taking too long a step. It was never drawn tight, for then lo comotion would bo impossible, l'.ut tile strictness of the band reduced the childish stride to a narrow gait, which at that time was reckoned ns an ap propriate girlish accomplishment. This produced In time n trlppin step. It was daily practiced until continued as a habitual manner of walking. This was at 11 time when the services of a retired drill sergeant were frequently requisitioned to tench a clas: of school girls how to hold up the bead and how to straighten the spine so that no girl should dream of leaning back in her chair so ns to touch the Lack. Sometime. a book was carried on the top of the head to assist in producing the cnrrlago desired by the governess or mother.

The girl then practiced walking, advancing and retreating, be fore the tall mirror in the "duchesse" in her mother's dressing room.

To bo treated (sensibly and honestly and not us- a butterfly, with no head or heart. To be loved and admired by n man who Is strong enough to rule and sub due her nnd make his way her way.

There is some difference of opinion ns to the proper place to store btend and cake. A great many housekeepers, following time honored precedent, still keep their bread and cake In large stoneware crocks, fitted with covers. Tha objection to these is that they nre very heavy to lift, and In summer are apt to invite mould, unless they are kept In a dry, upstairs closet. Suet bread crocks should be scalded out every time they are filled, or as often as twice a week. Cake crocks need not be scalded out so often. Thej should both be cold and dry when thej are filled again and shut up. Bread crocks are so heavy and catis so much unnecessary labor that large boxes of tin enamelled on the outsld have been substituted for them. Then are, however, more objections to tlr than to stone ware. Tin is apt to glv a "tinny" taste to any broad or cake kept In It. To avoid this some brenf boxes are furnished with ventilators This dries the bread. Sometimes draw ers for cake and bread nre fitted lr storerooms.
