Kujvne ltarry, m the Albany Tress. a sga stssp.J FISHER M.OHm. T wns n soft yet brilliant Southern night. The far O I O stars seemed to bang clear j( )K of the heavens like a pene- "f trable veil of radiant dust. The swell of the great, orange-colored moon could be plainly seen, with foine of those hazy veins which scientists say nre frost-crack In her cold surface. Every dune and bit of wreckage on the brond bar stood out .-lis t i not ly In her light, and n elmnp of frowzy-headed palms east sharp edged shadows on the sand. Those of two boys walking along the hard packed beach below high-water mark hobnobbed In front of them with n friendliness which the youths them selves welre not feeling nt that moment. "Pick up your feet, Bud!" exclaimed the elder, in a long-suffering voice. "You squiffer like a girl In her first long dress. Think we can catch any thing with you making that squit squeak. scjult-sqiieak!" lie Imitated with gross exaggeration the scuffing of his brother's "sneakers." "I reckon I walk as well as you do!" spluttered "Bud," deeply irritated by the other's choice of similes. John sighed iu a patient, virtuous manner very difficult to bear. "It doesn't look like you'd ever make a hunter, Bud," he observed, with a certain meek unction. Bud halted Instantly, straight and defiant. "I'll go by myself, th"n," he said, "and bring back as many eggs its you do!" "Oh, come on!" said hi? brother, re lenting. But Bud stood his ground obstinately. "No. You're bossing, bossing all the time. I pity Grace Aline if you get her, that's all." Grnce Aline of the romantic name was a most particular friend of John's. Twice a week he sailed his bluff-bowed lugger across the three-mile stretch be tween the bar and the mainland, bring ing an atmosphere of salt t nd shyness to the little house among the orange trees. The imputation stung him to the quick. He turned on his heel and strode off, his chin very high. "Huh."' grunted Bud, with the air of one superior to the soft passion. "Huh!" He watched his brother uutli the tall figure couJd no longer be seen. Then he picked, up his pail and stake anil started toward the shelf of the beach. His leau, shrewd face was no longer smiling. There was a terrier-like con centration In Its expression and in the forward thrust of his head, and as he zigzagged swiftly over the stretch of loose sard, his movements had much of the nervous deftness of that gamy little animal. As he trotted back and forth his stick tapped the sand like a blind man's staff. It had made perhaps a hundred little pecks, when presently Bud checked, and lowering the stick as deli cately as if pricking a blister, drew it up and Inspected the tip. It was gummy and glistening, and would have offended most people's noses. "O ho!" chuckled Bud. "Tench a pel ican to fish! Huh!" With deft, hollowed hands he uncov ered the leathery eggs. In the moon light they looked like fat milk pearls; 125 of them In two layers, with a wad ding of sand between. The clutch jnt filled Bud's pall, and he set it well above high-wat. r mark, and resumed his quartering. When lie came t.) the point wln-tv John had turned up from the slope of the beach, he hesitated. con-dd-riug the chances of Ms brother having . r looked n nest. To g.-t ale-ad of him he would have to walk at least lie.'f a mile. The night was warm and winl less, and he was sweating profusely under his loose shirt. W;th a s 'gh of resignation he threw binis-lf down on the sanil, his face toward the sea. There had been 1:0 wind for several days, and the sea hardly stirred in its sleep. Now and then Its bosom lifted In a slow breath that sent n swell roll ins In, to die upon the beach with a drawn-out sigh. A film of stale, iri descent oil seemed to blanket the water thinly, ilickering and passing from green to saffron and from saffron to rose as the tranquil h -aving presented new surfaces to the moonlight. Itlght In the midst of this subdued glitter and close In shore something black and wedge-shaped presently ap peared. It came without a ripple, like the sodden rise of a water-logged tim- ber. Then Bud saw it sink In the same stealthy fashion, as If it had withdrawn to weigh its estimate of the prospect in secret. Only a few moments elapsed, however, before It reappeared nearer shore. t Bud lay as motionless as the sand It self, and the turtle, afier a long and wary Inspection of the beach, swished through the shallow water and began to ascend the slope. It was laborious work for the huge turtle, but nt last It gained the shelf of the beach and looked round with blear mid weary eyes for a suitable resting place. Then It saw Bud rising from the sand, and shrank Inward Into Its shell in quivering apprehension. A long, dismal him escaped from Its lioruy blow-holes. "Hello, old camel!" mocked Bud, "I'm right glad I was In wheu you railed." Then be rapped the shuklng bead smartly with his stick, and his high vole) broke to a threatening so prano. "You squat still now till I tak yoa down. I don't want to lose AMES you. I'm mighty fond of you well done." He uncoiled the braided rawhide wound round his waist, a ml began to knot It about one of the big. musky hind flipp"rs. The loggerhead's baggy throat pulsed. Its round, hard eye gleamed with an Indignation It cmild not express vocally, for the great tur ties are mute. It spun suddenly on Its broad breastplate, almost knocking Bud off bis feet, and with a powerful forward hunch started for the sea. Bud dropped sitting upon the bench his heels Jammed into the sand, and both hands clutching the rawhide, one end of which was still tied about his body. His weight crippled the flipper to which he wns fast, but the logger- bead seemed quite satisfied with what remained. Without any apparent In crease of effort she dragged the boy steadily down the slope. "John! O John!" bawled Bud. "Come quirk! I've got one!" "Pshaw! he muttered, letting go with one hand and groping In his pock et. "John can't hear anything but what Grace Aline said to bliu last night, I reckon." He took out bis knife and opened It. The turtle was already nt the Hp of the sea. but Bud hated to cut. Econ omy Is inborn among the Inhabitants of the bar. and It hurt him to lose so much good xeat. It was not yet too late for John to be of service if he should arrive upon the scene. No John came, however, and the log gerhead plunged Into the water with a joyous splashing. Bud drew the knife quickly across the line. The next instant he dropped It with a cry of pain as the brine struck bitterly Into n gash In his finger. Clutching and tearing uselessly nt the sand, he wns jerked Into the water, down, down, down, a crisp singing In his. ears and cold fin gors prying at his lips. By one of fate's malicious pranks the knife had somehow turned in his hand, nnd when he struck, it was the back of the blade that met the line! At this part of the const tho sea lies warm and shoal above a great apron of submerged land fully a mile wide. The loggerhead had hardly be gun Its dive when it reached bottom. Its flippers struck violently, and sent up a boiling cloud of sand. Confused and winded by the violence of Its fright. It turned and slanted upward to the surface, where It lay puffing like a naphtha launch, Its limp flippers swinging with the sway of the water. A few seconds later Bud's streaming yellow head bobbed up close behind it. The boy had the line tightly clutched in his hands, and hardly waiting to take the necessary breath, he pulled himself forward with a strong quirk pull. The fore part of the loggerhead sank Instantly, but before she had gathered her trailing flippers under li r. Bud was on her back, all ten fin gers hooked about the thick front edge of the shell. The 1-iggerhend. for obvious reasons, has no enemy but man, and this partic ular loggerhead had led a long and pottering existence of unbroken peace. To say that It was frightened would do scant Justice to its state of mind. Down it went with a rush that tore white streaks through the water, but this time it did not strike the iind. It turned as It nea reel the bottom and skimmed along Just above it. Its pow erful flippers, working with a propciler like motion, drove it along like the wind. As it went it turned on its side, glanc ing this way and that lik- a scaling stone; but Bud clung to the broad cara pace wi!h the tenacity i t a barnacle. ue Knew mat ir lie were trailed again at the end of the rawhide, be would soon drown. 1 hree generations of vaunt "reefers" had left him a legacy oi piucii anu coomoss mat made a hkiii of him, and a strong one, in times of danger. Young as lie was, Bud had been in peril before, but never had thinks looked so bad. Something cold and tense seemed to knot within his head. lie must, If It were possible, draw up his knees to the centre of the shell and fashion his body Into a sort of dra if or breakwater. It was a trick which some of the "reefers" declared would invariably force a turtle to come to the surface. It had sounded' easy; but In the pens, if one failed, one had only to b t go and come up with no worse penalty than a derisive laugh from one's com panions. It Is different when one tries it out nt sea, when life itself may b;i the price of a slip. Something, however, must be done. Although In reality Bud had been below the surface but a few seconds, the force with which lie was swept through the water nnd the efforts of the loggerhead to unseat him made It extremely difficult to hold his breath. A pair of iron bands seemed to press with terrible force against his lower ribs. His lungs shook like foul and shodden spc.nges within him. Ills legs, always hitching forwurd, were straight, ened again and again y the pressure of the water. But Bud was as much at home In the sea as a South Sea Islander, and at last, favored by a momentary slack ening of the loggerhead's speed, bis knee caught under blui, and he straightened his body as much as the length of bis arms permitted. Either the trick succeeded or the turtle was almost winded, for almost immediately It began a slowing and grudtflug rise. Bud bad enough, spirit left in Mm to grin a tlght-llppod, dimpled grin. Owing to the backward tilt of his body, ho could se the cheer ful shimmer of moonlight on tlu? sur face. It danced like mercury, grew brighter and more dispersed. Then bis bend shattered the sliver film, and he shot the stale air from bis lungs In a gulp that almost seemed to pull them Into bis threat. "L'm-m!" be panted. "I reckon we were right close to being late for that, appointment. The loggerhead, Its dome Just awash, moved seaward with a sudden acces sion of dignity. It was apparent that It did not Intend to exert Itsvlf In any fancy diving until It was sure of deep water. Bud glanced back oyer his shoulder, nnd the cnbbage-paltns seemed to him to have dwindled to the dimensions of hat plus stuck In a sand cushion. A lively and picturesque little wake nf phosphorescence suggested that tlfy might look even smnller In time. Clinging to the shell with one hand, Bud picked nt the knot with the c.lher, but the swollen rawhide resisted bis wet lingers. A sudden boyish out break of rage nt his Impotence swept over him. and he struck the loggerhead savagely on the head. The blows, aimed without Intention, did more than skin Bud's knuckles, for the creature swerved confusedly until its course lay parallel to the beach. Bud's temper passed as quickly as It had come. Another blow might undo the good he had gained. As long as they held their present course be was within swimming distance of the shore. His face, pale from fatigue nnd the cold moonlight, set precociously. He had nothing with which be could cut the line, nor could he use both hands at the knot and keep his seat. He turned his hot gaze downward. What If be gouged out those blear eyes with his thumb, or tore open the baggy throat! Something desperate Bud was pre pared to do. He leaned forward, his face drawn like a weasel's, when sud denly the inspiration came. He caught up the line, and thrusting It under the sullen beak, rasped It viciously back and forth. "Bite, you mosshack!" he snarled, reckless of the danger his fingers ran. The loggerhead did bite, with a quick venomousness that was uncanny. A gush of fat bubbles gurgled up, and the keen, horny Jaws sliced through the rope as If It were kelp. The next moment the turtle dived, and Bud, un prepared, found himself gasping, but alone In the water. He fell Into the stroke, the long side stroke lie could maintain for an hour at a time, laying bis course by the prim palms. lie beard a faint "Halloo!" from John, returning down the beach, and frlnned abstractedly. It never occurred to hlra to ask for assistance. Such a swim was mere play In his two-piece costume. He wns busy with the lessons of the recent in cident. Youth's Companion. Couldn't Pay, So Stayed Away. At a school on the East Side a, hoy, newly arrived from Germany, present ed himself for ndmlssion. In the course of a lesson the teacher told the children they would have to pay attention if they wished to stay In her class. Jacob was an Interested listener, but after the first day he absented himself from school. Wheu caught by the tru ant officer he explained, through a friend who acted as interpreter, that the teacher had demanded pay, which he was unable to give. He was brought to the school and confronted with the teacher. A glance into his face was sufficient to assure ber that he was Innocent of any intention of making a false report. The teacher Inquired kindly: "Tell me what I said, Jacob, to make you think as you did?" "Teacher say, 'You must pay,' " re peated the boy, and then be was at tho end of his vocabulnrly. The teacher In tho midst of her perplexity saw a little hand raised nt tho back of the room, nnd Iti the hope of throwing same light on Jacob's meaning gave tho re quired permission to the owner of It to speak. "Teacher," piped a shrill voice, "you said we should all pay attention," tnd as a smile of relief broke over the countenance of the teacher, the small Informant sank Into her seat with a conscious air of having greatly distin guished herself. New York Press Sir Henry Irvlng's Dream. Sir Henry Irving, whose projected t o:r of this country has, according to a London cable dispatch, been postponed. fcT a joar, recently decdared. says the Loudon Standard, that he has been taxed with preaching an Impracticable doctrine, viz.. the organization of tho theatre by the municipality. Some critics had insinuated that be wanted to hand over tho whole control of local affairs to tho members of tho theatrical profession, and especially to make sure that actors were elected as mayors. He had never contemplated such a serious revolution, although he could mention actors who. If elected to the office of Chief Magistrate, would turn out to be grave and methodical men of business. But he was no fXtremlst; It never oc curred to him to propose anything more alarming than the administration of tho theatre as a branch of local govern ment, Just as they administer the water supply and other needs of a great and growing clly. But It was a dream. He saw no prospect of Inducing people to believe that the civic authorities might charge themselves with the sup ply of rational entertainment as they had charged themselves with the sup ply of wholesome water, although the one necessity was nearly as great as the other.

It takes a great deal to persuade tho ordinary woman that It Is continuing these things that make a success of It, not starting them and then leaving them to fate. Selecting Hat. If a woman bus sharp or decidedly prominent features let her avoid hats that are set back or off the face. Such a woman should wear a bnt brought well forward, ber hair should bo as fluffy as possible, and a becoming veil will do wonders. Sharp outlines In hats should also bo avoided by ber.

Juno Favorite Marriage Month Statistics show that June is tho gen eral marriage mouth all Over the world. In Scotland, for instance, out of every 1000 marriages, 175 of these take place in June, and in Sweden the proportion Is 150. In most of the European coun tries women select June as the bridal time, although there nre a few excep tions. Thus In Holland, May is the favorite mouth for marriages, and in Italy, February, which includes the period preceding the beginning of Lent. In Germany, April seems to have be come quite a popular month for marri age's, nnd in Greece October is quite as popular as any other. January is iio favorlto In Russia. It Is in consequence of these old world preferences, no doubt, that the somewhat curious results are shown here. June Is the favorite month for marriages for all of those born In America, whether of foreign parent age or otherwise; but it is not for those of foreign birth. Iu New York City the number of marriages In a year Is about 40,000, and the distribution by months is so even that the lead of Juno Is very small. Last year Juno led with 3725, but there were 370!) in December, a faoritc mouth, and 3U04 in Novcmbor. Color and Moral Effect. The color craze, which nt first amounted to the merest fad, has, like many such fads, come to stuy nnd lias developed into undreamed-of propor tions. Color is said lo influence our mental end bodily well-being, even our morals, more than we imagine, and we are advised to see to it that our rooms and our clothing from babyhood on ward nro such as to inftuonco us for good. We know by Instinct, as a rule, which colors have a pleasant effect upon us, whether blue makes us cheer ful or orange leads to hilarity. Grays and browns hare, of course, a soberln, effect, and some color faddist advises us to have none of them. It Is possi ble In these days of frequent flitting from flat to flat to induce an agreeable landlord to give us our heart's desire in the shape of wall papers, but bow ubout visiting those friends whose color craze Is the exact antithesis of our own? Wo might feel gloomy when It was our boundon duty to exert our selves to be agreeable, or too cheerful in paying a visit of condolence should the wall paper suggest hilarity. The subject is a wide one, and the majority of us would do well to strive for the happy medium by making our rooms pretty and soothing without being too noticeable either way. Honor For Washington Woman The Washington Star makes note of an honor recently conferred on Miss Prances B. Johnson, tho photographer, who has m. ny friends In this city, which was atone time her home: "Miss Frances Benjamin Johnson, of this city, lias lately been notified by the French Government that the decoration of the 'Palmes Academlques' has been con ferred upon her by that Government for services rendered by her to France and French Interests. This Is an un usual distinction of itself, and especial ly so as only about twenty-five women in France have been similarly honored, nd there is only one other American woman who now wears the knot of purple ribbon which signifies the title officer d'academle.' The decoration was bestowed upon Miss Johnson In m'oguiUou of. her connection .with the Paris Exposition in VMM), and the ex cellence of ber exhibits and the value of her services as United States dele- gute to the International congress of photography, held in conjunction with Unit exposition; also for the friendly offices which ber knowledge of the French enabled ber to render the In terests of France at the recent St. Louis Exposition. The decoration of the 'Palmes Academlques' is the only one conferred by the French Govern ment outside the Legion of Honor." The 811k Lingerie Draaa. Though silk is to lie much worn, very much worn, yet for dainty dresses for many occasions, It Is to be replaced by the lingerie dress. And the lingerie dress is of Jiatlste or some of the nu merous kindred fabrics. These dresses have all tho lovely look of simplicity. and It is the sweet simplicity for which whoever pays the bills has to go down deep Into the pocket. The mere name of the dress, lingerie, calls up visions of finest handwork, hand-run tucks no thicker than a thread, and all tho creases, puckers and Insertions dear to the feminine heart. One exquisite dress of white batiste is lnsertloned elaborately with narrow German Valenciennes lace, while a rich figure of Irish crochet is Intro duced at Intervals with stunning effect. This elaboration doesn't take it out of the lingerie class. An exquisite affair Is In Paris mus lin. It la embroidered In the softly heavy Japanese fashion, and Is simple almost to plainness, despite the vast amount of work on it. A variation from the snowy white ness of the lingerie is a creation In sheerest white batiste, in which strips of pastel pink batiste, very finely tucked, are Introduced. One such strip heads the flounce on the skirt, another forms the girdle, and yet oth ers finish the blouse. In all save the belts this strip of pink is bordered by two frills of Valenciennes lace below and a narrow festoon embroidery in pastel tints above. Rochester rose Express. Concerning Tea Gowns. Al! the new tea gowns begin to show full puffs nt the shoulders, and this has a tendency to make the figure cook a great deal broader. The full shoulder puff is something welcomed back by every woman, and it is very likely that every. gown will show a trace of shoul der puff. The Bhades in negligees are inter esting. There are distinct negligee or tea gown colors. And among these can bo mentioned onion skin, red cur rant and apricot. These are very pret ty tones and are much less delicate than tho pale tones. Tbey are suited to house wear, and they are cheerful "I mako it a point," said a woman who makes many tea gowns, "to select cheerful colors, for one must remem ber that tho gown is to be worn in doors by subdued light. The new tones are pansy color and terra cotta, which Is having a renaissance. Then there is mustard brown, and there is iron gray, which is good combined with red, Tho most important feature for a tea gown is its color. It must be well chosen, or the gown Is never successful "After the color comes the material, which should have a lustre. And for this one can recommend the Oriental silks, If one Is choosing a dressy tea gown, or the silk poplins. And- last of all- comes the style and the fit." The successful tea gown of domestic make shows a variety of styles. But all have large sleeves, with plenty of ma terial In them. There is the robe, which Is loose In the front and fitted in the back, and which is trimmed up the front breadth with little ruffles of Val enciennes lace. The back is sweeping In Its length aud is .trimmed with a sash or with deep flounces. There Is a style of tea gown which has the dressy look of a handsome one of the Ellzabcthlau days and again of tho 1S40 days. Thoro Is the bodice with Its long train, while in the front there is a petticoat beneath which her little slippered feet peep out. The gown and petticoat stylo is one which appeals to women who enjoy pic turesque dressing. And it Is a style which can be adapted to gowns for cither day or evening, though It is more appropriate to day gowns. The' petti coat is, of course, a petticoat only in name, for the material must be elegant and the style exquisite, while the finish, the trimming and the length are all of the most admirable quality. It Is not a utility petticoat Linen Is first. Some wear pique. A plain hem is good style. Embroidery Is a strong feature. Lace is by no means "out of it." There are plenty of ornate sets. All luce continues in favor for cer tain gowns. Airy-fairy effects are rivalled by heavy plain ones. Coat sets in pique are too cheap to have any great vogue. Bets must bo either white or in ac cord with the costume color. Heavy white linen sets embroidered In the Japanese style are tremendously fetching. A cream linen set is buttonholed with brown, and' spriukled with French knots to match.
