Ihe Heart of "Ten Cent Barty" By Carroll Watson Rankin. r-,VITI.KTT must lutve been ntimif fmt Vtiil ft AtA " ' when he first announced ..... ,. , 111:11 lie "us 100 uiuciv um to be kissed. Up to that moment no one had given the subject of kissing Bartlett very much thought, for lie was not one of those Irresistibly at tractive children that one instinctive ly caresses; but of course after bis de fiant declaration it became a matter of pride with the sninll boy's family to see which member could beg. buy or steal the grentest number of kisses. By the time Bartlett, who bad a large number of feminine relatives, was ten, lie bad grown so skilled In dodging oscillatory advances that It was no longer possible- to surprise him With unwelcome endearments. If any one wanted, or pretended to want, kisses from Rartlett, it was necessary to buy them. Burtlett's price for those favors was ten cents apiece. For the next two rears, whenever be was desperately in need of a dime but the necessity bad to be desp-rate indeed be con sented to sell to bis teasing sister Madge, his tantalizing cousin Eleanor or bis badgering young Aunt Kmlly a small, sudden, birdlike peck, followed always by Instant (light. The sight of this performance invariably sent the fun-loving family Into laughter; but Burtlett's mother did not quite-approve. "Don't tease that boy so!" she would sometimes protest, although she was such n mild little person that no one ever thought of heeding her remon strances. 'Tni afraid you'll make him bard hearted." "Surely," tensed Madge, "you would n't want a mushy boy like Clarence Mills!" Of course, by the time Bartlett ras twelve, no kisses could be wrung from bJm for love or money; but to bis great disgust bis fume hud spread abroad, and bis schoolmates had dubbed blm "Ten-Cent Barty." Ills older brother John, a young man of twenty, still kissed his mother good night In a comfortable, matter-of-fact way; but whin Mr. Morgan said to Bartlett, as be sometimes did, with a twinkle In bis eye, "My son, why don't you kiss your mother good night'" Bartlett would reply truthfully, if not at all gallantly, "I'd rattier be shot." It was evident that Ten-Cent Barty had no use for kisses. It also became evident, gradually, that the eyes of Mrs. Morgan, a slight, not very strong little mother, followed Bartlett wist fully from the room when, with a hast ily msimbhd ";ood night!" to nobody in particular, the boy would bolt for the stairs. Il grew plain, even to Bartlett, that she missed the good night kiss that was hers by right and that was never forthcoming; yet, strangely enough, In spite of repeated disappointments, Rhe looked for It ex pectantly night after night; It was not the kiss alone that was lacking. Between John, who was like his mother's family in many ways, and Mrs. Morgan there was a strong bond of sympatbey nnd good fellowship most beautiful to see. But Bartlett was an alien and almost an outsider In the family circle. Apparently he bad discarded bis mother and dressus nt the same moment, for, with bis first trousers, he hud turned to bis father for sympathy and counsel. F.neircled by bis mother's arm, John had suwed patchwork, bad learned to knit, nnd had even played with dolls, without suffering permanent Injury from any of these girlish occupations; but from the time that Burtlett's small fingers had been long enough to grasp a hammer the younger boy's predi lections bad been thoroughly mascu line. 1 Of course It had not taken him long to discover bow little his mother knew about things of such vital Importance as screw bolts, steam gages, ball bear ings and pillow blocks. Neither did any of these things appeal to John, .who was rending law. Bartlett bad soon learned to work out bis problems without motherly or brotherly assist ance. By the time Ten-Cent Barty was sixteen his knowledge of machin ery had become a source of wonder not only to his own family, but to the Interested neighbors, who called him In to prescribe for ailing lawn niow ers and injured clothes wringers. In March Mrs. Morgan had taken fold. All through the summer she had a little backing cough that alarmed the family, and she seemed pale and list less. The family doctor shook his head whenever be snnr hei, and In Sep tember ordered her to Arizona. "I'm not saying that there's anything serious the matter with her," he ex plained to Mr. Morgan, "but this cli mate Isn't the place for her thin win lei. Bend hor out West." i B M0 NAG. "I have a sister In Phoeni:; "Then send her to Phoenix. There couldn't be n safer place for her from now until May." By the last week In September Mrs. Morgan was ready to depart. When the day came the entire family, with one exception, announced Its Intention of going to the station to speed the traveler with cheerful words -- some thing very much needed in this in stance. This exception, of course, was Bart lett. He, with his usual nverslon to farewells, had muru6ltd something, nnd was having the table nt noon when his father said: "Bartlett, aren't you going to say good-by to your mother!" "Good-by!" muttered Bartlett from the doorway. "Hope you'll have a nice time." Mrs. .Morgan's eyes filled with tears, but Bartlett gave no sign of seeing tin 111, unb ss an unusually vigorous slamming of the front door might have been n sign. At two o'clock the family with some what forced cheerfulness, went to put Mrs. Morgan on her train. She kissed her many relatives good-by as they ap peared; but in the interval of waiting for the cry, "All aboard!" her eyes wandered frequently to the door or searched the faces of the crowd on the platform. It really did not seem possible that Earth tt could let bis mother go so far away and for so long n time without giving some small sign that he loved her. lint the train pulled out finally, and no Bartlett had appeared. Now among Bartlett's friends was n man mimed Johnson, who had owned au automobile, the first to appear in the town. Whether It was the owner's Inexper ience or whether the machine Itself was defective no one bad ev?r been able to discover, but the runabout bad never worked with any degree of sat isfaction to Its rather sensitive owner, whoso fads, nt best, were short lived. He bad soon abandoned it and bought a horse. From the first Bartlett had hovered about this misbehaving automobile like n bee nloiit clover. His devotion both nniused and touched Johnson, who, in the days when bis faith In gasoline was strong, bad often Invited Bartlett to ride with him, and who had fre quently found the boy's skill with tools of service when things went wrong. Afterword, unable to sell the now somewhat damaged machine to any body who knew of its vagaries, and too honest to sell It to any one who did not, Mr. Johnson permitted Bart lett to experiment with it. After months of labor, and the clev er substitution of parts which he had himself manufactured, it began to look as If the boy were actually going to restore the automobile, to something like Its usefulness. Several times be fore the day of Mrs. Morgan's depart ure the machine had journeyed two blocks and home again without a breakdown. Immediately after luncheon the day of Mrs. Morgan's departure, Bartlett, with his hands In his pockets, stood in the doorway of the Johnson currlage bouse, Razing at Ihe repudiated auto mobile. The light of strong purpose shone In his gray eyes a moment later when be glanced at his watch, hastily filled the automobile tank with gasoline, flung the doors wide, and started his unwieldy pet toward the entrance. The driveway was rough and a trifle uphill, but the boy trundled the vehi cle to the road,- worked away at the crank until the engine was started, and got In, while short, ejaculatory sounds Issued from the motionless ma chine. Then he pushed the lever, and with a sudden sibilant explosion the automobile was spisuiing down the street, leaving the atmosphere In its wake redolent of gasoline. Burtlett knew exactly where he wanted to go, but he realized that It was one thing to possess this know! edgo und quite another to Impart it to a notoriously erratic automobile. The spot he had In mind was sixteen miles distant, for bo had something to do and be meant to do It. In the same clrcunistnnces any other boy would have thought of a far simpler plun of carrying out the Idea; but Bartlett was no one but himself, and the workings of his mind were as incomprehensi ble at times as were the complicated Inner workings of tho Johnson auto mobile. Sixteen miles are not many for a first class machine, on a good, level road, to accomplish, in two hours mid a half, but sixteen1 miles, whea half of them are up-hill Q1 much of the road li soudy, are 4 great many. The country roads were worse than Bartlett had expected to Cud them. On the other hand, the renovated ma chine ran even better than he had dared to hope. He had feared the long stretch of deep mud always to be found at the foot of Colllnsburg Hill, but the automobile dashed through It with an almost appalling disregard for Its own shining exterior, only to lose, later, Beverol precious moments from sheer contrariness on the only stretch of good road the boy could hope to find. But having started, Bartlett had no Intention of falling. He bad to reach n certnin point by half past two and he meant to do It. A good part of the road, winding among the hills, was unsheltered by trees, nnd was exposed to the full glare of the afternoon sou. Hiding was not so restful as Bartlett bad hoped to find It, for he bad not counted on the nervous strain of guiding the vehicle; nnd as he grew increasingly weary, his hand lost Its sureness. Once he had to work carefully round a load of bay standing motionless in the road while Its driver slumbered on top. One be accidentally slithered Into a ditch, from which he could never have dragged his vehicle without the time ly assistance of n passing farmer. Twenty minutes after this disaster, and rearly two miles from his destina tion, n deep nnd unseen hole In tho road was the cause of n sudden nnd disastrous overturn. And the over turn was the cause of n serious break In the steering mechanism that Bart lett pushed the automobile into a thick clump of bushes near the roadside, to be b ft until cnlled for. At half past two Mr?. Morgan's train stopped nt Forostvillc, sixteen miles from her home, to take on pas senger?. The little womnn, still rath er tremulous, surveyed from her win dow, although with very little Interest, the crowd on tho platform. From this occupation her glance strayed Idly to the road that led to the station. Down this dusty thoroughfare n broad-shouldered, long-legged lad was running. There was something about his gait that betrayed excessive weari ness, combined with a certain air of dogged determination. There was also something about this overheated, mud streaked figure that all nt once set Mrs. Morgan's heart throbbing with almost unendurable emotion. As the runner approached, he lifted his eyes suddenly, to meet hers at th" window. Jostled by the crowd on the platform, the boy elbowed Ills way to the steps, leaped aboard the train, rushed through the car, and plant'd one of Bartb-tt's own ridiculous, bird like pecks on Mrs. Morgan's lips. But to her, who suddenly understood nil, no kiss was ever sweeter. Thori was n new, wonderfully hap py look In her eyes as, a moment later she leaned from the window to wnvn her band to Bartlett, who, already homeward, had paused to wave a hand toward the moving train.

Many weeks after Mlsi Keller had returned to Boston, she heard from an otllclal of the exposition that one of the Japanese waitresses had gone to a St. Louis physician and asked to have ono of her eyes taken out and given to Miss Keller.

Crowded, hundreds of them, in lll-llghted, badly ventilated, great ate liers, during the busy season, they stitch and sing from 7 o'clock in tho morning until long after midnight, und they earn the vast majority of them fifty cents a day. With this amount they must not only board, lodge nnd clothe them selves, but they must also moke provis ions for the morte solson four months, from the middle of June till the middle of September, when the gay world of Pnrla being a la campagne, 110 orders for work are given, workshops are closed, and the mlmis plnsons enrn cot one sou. Harper's Bazar. With M1u1.ll Means. rt Is very foolish of the womnn of smull means to try to keep pneo with the woman of independent, or even comfortable resources; but very often a woman of taste and Judgment, espe cially If she Is skilled with the needle, will make n better npprnrau.ee on n very small outlay than another would do with large means. Careful plan ning, Judicious outlay and purchases adapted to her circumstances must be made. "The best of Its kind," Is a good plan, but It is better to get the best your purse will pay for, even though tho quantity be very limited, and If the material be reasonably good, it may bo made over for another out ing, with smull addition to cost, thus lessening the next season's outlay. Be sides, a garment, cheap as to goods, soon looks "cheap," and If nothing bet ter than a mercerized cotton can be afforded it is better than a flimsy qual ity of showy silk. The Commoner. Ideas For Bracelets. The fashion of wearlug a tiny watch in a bracelet, which always holds more or less for traveling, shopping or sporty occasions, is suggested by the big Jew els that are being set In the arm adorn ments. While a watch bracelet is of leather, these new-old bracelets, are of gold. A big catocbon or cut stone that has served in days ngone in brooch or ear rings is now just the thing to have mounted In a bracelet, either n plain gold band or one In the link design. For such resetting the seml-preelous stones axe in as great vogue ns those which cost more. Only the workman ship must be superb, or the effect is loud, cheap or dowdy. Should tho family jewel box contain many such old pieces there Is no more attractive use for them than to have them reset in n network oC silver or gold links, forming one of the neck laces so much In vogue, especially with lingerie blouses. One such In eruscan geId Is set with corals, which of yore udorned one of grandmamma's "sets." The effect is charming. I Value of Neatness. j Ask any ono to explain why a certain girl Is regarded ns pretty, and see if I you get a direct answer. Probably you I will hear that "she certainly is pretty, j but really I don't know v ay, for she I has not a good feature in hei lace, and, I now I come to think about it, I have seen prettier complexions." She may have u good figure, but that does not alonu iflake n girl worth look ing at twice, and certainly does not gain her a reputation for prettlness. Tho "pretty girl," you will find. Is im maculately fresh and neat looking. Her hair looks well brushed, nnd Is well nnd becomingly nrrunged; her dress is well chosen in color, and, how ever simple in style, It is thoroughly trim at tho neck, nnd there is never a suspicion of rags or untidiness about her skirt or her pettlcout. The "little things" of that girl's toilet nre not slurred over, and her hands und feet nre as dainty as care can make thorn, for her Innate refinement makes her abhor the dictum of the blot-en that "all that matters is the general effect, and little detulls nre not worth bothering about." Attention to these little details makes nil the difference between the well and badly dressed girl. A Woman Crusoe.

In this Ideal region for the yuchtsman, the fisherman und the hun ter, one comes to fuel like a new Crusoe on his primitive Isle. And In very truth Crusoe's semi-mythical story was enacted upon one of these same lslunds, though minus the nun Friday and the happy ending. Tho castaway In thl cose was" a womnn, a Danish emigrant, left ashore through some mischance by the crew of a vessel that bad sought shelter behind San Nich olas during a storm, In the early fifties. For over seventeen years the lone creature lived unsought and forgotten, though the tlmo at length came, when, on tho days the mlst-clearlng mirth wind blow, she could climb to the isl and's highest point and view the ranchers' herds grazing upon the main land. And at Inst, when hope and reason had both long died, the poor, wild, gibbering creuture was found in her wolf's burrow among the bills by the advance guurd of the otter hunters' fraternity, who had long wondered at the mysterious footprints they marked upon tho lonely sands. Field and Strcum. Woman's Way of Escape. two men sat next her table at luncheon. Thej were suburbanites, and 'suburbanite talk engrossed their tongues and attention.

V l. ,f's 9) qjrm. In a few moments she learned that the topic of conversation was a won derful suburban bnll game played be tween a married men's nine and a sin gle men's nine. The married men bad won. "I tell you, ' said one, "It was n great game. Do you remember when Jim mle batted that liner out to left field when the score was 23 to 21) In the ninth, nnd how I went after It and caught hlra at second?" "You bet," replied the other, "that coup decided the game In your favor, but the thing I can't understand about Is that your nine, you old mar ried men, won out!" "Oh, that's easy," returned ,the Benedict. "We married men nre well cared for. Our nerve Is nlwnys with us. We don't have to watch the grand stand for the approval of a 'sweet young thing' just as n beautiful tiler is soaring toward us." The young man disputed the point, and, though friendly, the argument waxed warm. Finally the elder lnan espied the young woman. "I tell yon what," said he, "I'll leave It to that Blrl." "All right," chimed In his vis-a-vis; "ask her." The attention of the entire tea-roo:n was centered upon them by this time, nnd with the turn In the conversation the young woman was now the cyn osure of all eyes. They approached and put the question to her, but being a discreet youii'f womnn, an well as wholly entangled, she threw them Into confusion, to the delight of the on lookers, by slowly folding her napkin, rising as slowly from her chnlr, and with a withering glance at her flab bergasted Interrogators, stulked proud ly from the room. Amid audible giggles the men soon followed her. Philadelphia Telegraph. When Making Calls. When making . calls the married woman gives the mnld or man who answers the door n card of her own for tho mistress of the house, and if there are grown duughters or women guests with whom she Is acquainted, she sends up n card for each one of them, also. If the call is tho first of the season, she invariably sends up two of her husband's cards for tho master and tho mistress of the house. At sub sequent cnlls. It Is unnecessary to leave the husband's cards unless bo has ac cepted nn Invitation to a dinner or dance nnd Is unable to call in person. To recapitulate a little, she should, if calling on a married lady with 110 grown daughters or other women In her family, send up one of her own nnd two of her husband's cards, tho latter cards being Intended for the master nnd mistress of tho house. Sh? sends up but one of her own because there Is but one lady In the family, nnd ;t would not be correct for her to send up a card for the master of the household, ns a woman Is never sup posed to call upon a man. An unmarried woman leaves tho same number of vli'.tlng cards when out calling ns her married sister, with tho exception, of course, of tho hus band's card; that is, she leaves n card for each lady of the family whom she wishes to honor with a call. When making calls, visiting cards should never be handed to any one but n servant. If, ns sometimes happens, when the maid is out, or when no do mestic is kept, tho lady of tho hous opens the door herself, a card is en tirely unnecessary, although even In this case it can bo carelessly dropprrd In the card receiver In the bnll ns one goes out. But to give It to tho lady herself, unless this was done to point out a change of address, would be very Ill-bred. When nn Invitation to a tea or after noon reception Is received, no notice need be taken of it until tho day of tho function. Then, If one is unable to attend, a visiting card, in an envelope tbnt exactly fits It, should be mailed to tho hostess. If tho tea Is given for somo friends of the hostess, or to In troduce her daughter to society, two visiting cards should be enclosed in the envelope nnd directed to the giver of tho festivity. When unable to attend a function of this sort, one should al ways send as many cards as there are ladles whose names are mentioned on the .invitation. Housekeeper. Braid Is used on the white sei-je suits, and espucliily on the skirts. White serge has betm revived, and bids fair to become extremely popular. Color Is rarely Introduced In white costumes, and then ouly by some color Introduced on the hat. A new fashion Is that of wearing the Scotch cap with feather at the side and two rlbbous behind with tennis suits. Many nre putting elbow sleeves in fine white wulsts and these are to be worn in the house with any klud of skirt. Lace is not used on surge unless It be a bit of real Irish crochet lace; but hand embroidery is often used with ex cellent effect. It Is better to count on having sleeves elbow length In all blouses, and adding elbow cuffs of sheer muteslul whenever they are wanted. The suits of sergo are unllned, and the skirts are worn over full, well fitting white petticoats ullk pettlcouts not being much worn at this season.
