Bidt ration the enforcement of a ruleot
the roadway for pedestrians. In Lou
don, as in all parts of the world, a rule
of keeping to the right is enforced on
on vehicles, but there is no mich law
for ped-strians. It is in most of our
cities, and in F.nglaud, declares the
Fic'iyurie, a pretty well understood uud
accepted social rule, and in quite gen
erally observed, but it has no legal au
thority, and the man who turns to the
left and elsdi'iivors to force himself
through an advancing crowd is guilty
of no legal offense, however uerioilHly
ho may discommode other people. In
crowds such as are common in the
htreets of London and New York, and
not unusual on Canal htrcet, declare
our New Orleans contemporary, such
conduct is tho occasion of much Hcri
ous confusion nnd annoyance. The
rule of the road is a go id one, and it
might be enforce 1 by legal sanctioua
wherever crowds are congregated.
According to the New York Tribune
t'je experiment of Lieutenant lVary to
utilize burros in his Arctic expedition
to trauspcrt supplies from the foot
hills of the mountains to the inland
ice has, as was predicted by those who
have had experience with them, proven
a failure. He believed that tho burros
would easily survive the winter in the
polar regions, and should they die the
lueut could bo Htored in a cache for uu
emergency. Reports from tho expe
dition ahow that these animals died
before reaching the (ireculand coast.
As pack-horsea had been Hueceshfully
used in Alaska, and ponies, with snow
shoes, had been used in parts of Nor
way, ha believed the burro would
prove a successful experiment. It wa
Lieutenant Peary's inteution to sup

but he will have to get more than ho

year in which to
recuperate and prepare for the long
winter weeks of hard work.
1 am at work in my uncle's counting
house and generally supposed to be
ins neir, as tie lias ncitleT kitli nor
kin except myself. So I walked into
the private olliee that Saturday lifter
noon ami gave him my address in case I
he should want me ut iny time.
"That's right, my boy," he said, ns I
lie read the uddress. "lirookside '
Farm, llollowdale. I am glad you are
going in for quiet instead of hothouse
flowers and midnight dances," refer
ring to my last year'a diseipations at
Long liruneh. "And now, I daresay,
you will want some money, even in
that out-of-the-way place. Here is
your Halary for the next two months.
Oh, bother the thanks!" as I attempt
ed to speak. "Now be off with you
and vioj.f yourself. lie surn you are
"back by September 1, and by the
wuv, how do y!U get to this 1'rookside
Farm?"
Somewhat surprised, I gave him the I
directions, and was still more aston- j
ished when he said : "I may rundown I
Home Friday night and stay over Sun- !
day with you. Jersey milk and butter '
never hurt me. Well, goodby, my
Loy, and istccr clear of the summer j
girls," with a twinkle in his eye. j
Ten o'clock that night lliidsmc jolt-
ing over country roads in a market ,
wagon, drawing deep draughts of
country air and listening to tin- cheer- 1
fill chirping of cricket.. Soon we turn
into a pretty lane, hedged on both j
sides with small crabapple trees. Still
another turn, uud we draw up m front j
of a little, old, gabled farm house, '
covered with pretty green vines and ,
climbing roses. )
To tell the truth, I saw very little;
of it that night and at that hour, but I
I was up early the next morn- ;
ing and out on uu explor
ing expedition. The house was built I
on a small kind), nnd through the 1
clover Held at the back I found a path. .
Following it slowly I came upon a
hluall, pebbly brook, dancing in th"
nun as it rushed over the pebbles, and j
How loitering, us if loath to leave the j
tdiudc of the drooping willows. As I
watched it J softly repented Teuuy-
sou s lines :
I eliatter over stony way.
In little sharps and tri'liles,

I lialihle on tho pi.litiles.
With many a eurvn my hank I fret

And many u (airy foreland ""t
With willow weed and mallow.
This little stream wound in uud out,
shaded here aud there by graceful,
drooping willows, whose branches
Kwayedund kissed their shadows in the
water. 1 wandered ulonir. drinkim.' in
the pure, fresh uirutid revelling in the j
unexpected sights and beauties of the
place. Now I espy u tiny ford in the '
shape of a half-do.eu Mopping stones, j
which soon land me on the other hide. I
I would have explored farther, but nil 1
unmistakable sensation in the region 1
of my heart proclaim that breakfast'
must be nearly ready, ho 1 slowly re- J
trace my steps und find mine 'host I
anxiously looking for mo and just I
niiout to ring the bell used on week
days to call the farm hand in.
Mine host is a genial old chap of
pcrhapH fifty, and his wife, Mrs. Per
kins, i a motherly soul of about the
same age. I follow them itito the
cool, vine-shaded dining room und
find a new member of the family. A
pretty, bright-eyed, brown-hairod
muid is singing little snatches of song
as she feed two flu fly yellow canaries.
"My niece, Hazel, Mr. Lauton." I
bow and then involuntarily glance
around the room, evidently dining and
sitting room combiued. What a pretty
room it is, with it old-fashioned rag
carpet, the pretty chintz-covered sofa,
a great, deep lounging chair near the
window covered with the same cool
stuff and the table with it mowj covering.
m
The dear old motherly ltd sits n
one aide, the pleasant-faced farmer op
posite, and down at the other end m
bright face with rosy cheeks and
roguish eyes. Yes, I am sure I aba!!
njoy my holiday. How delicious the
crisp rolls, yellow bntter and thick
cream were. Why cannot euch things
be found in the city?
"We alwaysgo to the meeting honse
every Sunday, Mr. Lanton," said Mr.
Terkinit, "and if you would like to go
with lis we should like it right well."
I look at pretty Hazel and make np
my mind to go. Ye gods! What a
sermon that old man did give ns. Two
hours and a quarter by my watch did
ho preach.
Poor old man! How norry I felt for
him as he wiped the perspiration from
his fueo nnd thundered forth again.
Tho sermon was nbont Abraham and
Isaac, and I will be honest and any
tint in spite of the length of his dis
course the simple old man drew tears
from the congregation na he pictured
the sublime faith of Abraham and his
trust in Ids God.
I declined the ride home In the old
carry -all and strolled homeward, mind
ful of Mr. Perkins's Inst instruction:
"Mind you're back in time for dinner.
We don't linve but two meals on Hun
day." I should have liked Miss Hazel's
company, but I fear it is too soon.
She might have refused.
So th. t happy care-free days go on.
It does not tnko loner for IlVv.i.l and
tne to beconme the best of friends.
Such walks ns we take; Hazel, with
her big red Irish setter, nnd myself.
Wo fish, not in tho shallow brook that
runs through the meadow, but further
down, where the little brook has
widened into quite a stream.,
wi i i i .i . ...
ii ueii i nave neeu mere unout three
weeks Fncle Lauton comes down and
develops as much activity as myself.
He does not seem to know what fatigue
means and tramps in all directions.
I m-tend of htnying two days he stiys a
week, and leaves in tho best of spirits.
"I'll be down again beforo vou come
home," nro his nartintr words ns tlm
train starts.
Yes, he iloci come. He comes every
Friday and stay until Monday or
Tuesday. How he enjoys it ! It does
me good to watch him. Ouo morning
Hazel ( "Witch Hazel," I have chris
tened her) and I go out for a stroll.
She carries a book of poem under
her arm and I know where we shall
stop. There is u grassy sent under tho
willows nnd near th Witch's ford, as
Hazel calls the stepping stones.
Witch Hazel throws her broad
brimmed hat on the grass and opening
the book hands it to me. I always do
the reading while he pulls tho clover
heads and listens, silently. To-day she
has handed me Tennyson, open at those
mournful verses, some of the most
beautiful lines ever written, I think:
llrenk, break, .rnk. ,
On thy eold. gray stones, O sea '
And I would that my tongue eould utter
The thoughts tlmt nriso in mo !
I look up and say: "Hazel, I lovo
you." She springs to her feet.
"Mr. Lauton I" - -
- "lnaccttTdoVftaAeV m I risoirom
my plaeo at her feet.
At this nhe retreats or rather at
tempts it, but I am in tho wav and she
turns to tho W itch's ford. Tho stoues
are slippery from recent rnfns. She is
tremliliiig ami slips when in the mid
dle. Of course she could not drown,
but she could soil the duinty muslin
dress and i-poil the pretty slippera, so
1 take her in my arms and carry her
back. She struggles to free herself,
but I w ill not let her go until sho an
swers me.
Finally she gives in nnd Hays:
"I do love you, Harry. There! Does
that satisfy you, you silly boy?" with
a woiidronsly tender look from the
bright brown eyes.
The next day llnds us at the same
place, ami us we throw ourselves on
the bunk, hhe with her heud on Nap's
neck, she says :
"Harry, where will we live whon wo
are married?"
I start. Married ! I see I hnvo a
hard task before mo. She docs not
seem to understand that this is merely
a summer pastime. How iguorant these
country girls ore.
"My dear little girl," puttiiigmy arm
nrouud her, "why look forward to the
morrow? Let it take care of itself."
"Yes; but we will bo niurricd some
day, you know."
"Listen, Hazel," I say gravely. "I
ii m in uo position to muVry now. Let
us love each other this summer. We
will enjoy every minute of tho time ;
but when I go back to town wo mnst
forget this. You w ill marry some one
some day who is worthy of yon."
"Mr. Lauton! Harry 1" with a pite
ous look.
I know it would never do to give in,
so I say, firmly: "I lueun it, dear.
We w ill be happy this summer aud not
look forward to the winter."
"Leave me," she saye, imperiously.
"I want to bo alone and think."
I try to kiss her, but hIio waves mo
buck. "Not now," with a shake of her
head, nnd I go up tho path. I am still
w hero I can see her aud hear a sho
talks to Nup.
"Ho doesn't love us, Nap. Ho was
only amusing himself. He doesn't care
a bit liow much he hurt us. Oh, Nap I
Nap!" uud sho puts her face down on
the dog uud cries bitterly.
This makes me feel very uneomfort
able. I have just started toward her
when she raises her head, look at tho
dog and suys: "I havo an idea, Nap,
a brilliant one. No, I am not going to
tell it to you," a the dog wag his
tail in sympathy; "but we will get
even with him. Nap, or I am not Hazol
Deone."
She wipes her eyo and, calling the
dog, walks slowly homeward. The
'oars are still near her eyes, but I can
see that thought is fast drying them.
I draw back that she may not aoe mo
nnd do not go in until tea time.
The next day she gravely aska me it
I will take a walk, and I assent with
inward rejoicing.
"Mr. Lanton, I wanted to tell yon
that I am rery glad yon eaid what yon
did yesterday, an it opened my eyes to
the fact I never really loved you, and
now uon t follow, please, for Nap and
I are going to take a walk," and she
turns away with can I believe it?
with a smile on her face.
I stay for a day or two longer, bnl
the spell in broken and I no longer en
joy myself. One morning I pack my
things, hid them all goodby and bie
me back to town.
Uncle seems really glad to see me,
and sends me to Detroit on business. I
am gone about six weeka.
When I como back he calls me into
the inner office, and after expreasing
himself well pleased with the success
of my mission in Detroit says, aftei
playing with his watch gnard a few
minutes; "Ahem! Well, Harry, I have
a piece of news for yon."
I look at him in astonishment. He
Is actually blushing. Really, he dors
not look aa old as 1 thought he did. 2
am curious to hear the news.
"Yes, Horry, the old man is going
to be married," aud be looked at me
with a smile.
"Married !" I gasp.
"To an old friend
think."
"To whom?"
of yours, I
I rapidly run over in my mind all
the old maids and widows of my ac
quaintance and discard them all as pre
posterous. "I went down to ISrooksido farm
last week," he tnid, nervously.
A light breaks in upon my clouded
brain.
"Not to Hazel Penne? Not to Witch

"You've guessed it, my bov. We

It will be very nuiet. as I have not
given my itch much time, but,
Hnrry," laying his hand on my shoul
der, "you will be there and wish tho
old man joy eh, my boy?"
I answer something, I know not
what, and rush from tho office. I see,
as in a dream, a curly brown head
pillowed on the neck of an Irish Bet
ter and hear a voice saying:
"I have an idea, a brilliant one,
Nap. We wi.l g t even some way."

From the flulf of Mexico to th

two immense bodies of air coming from

In tho Law Congress lately in ses

this country. The study of the law
was originally taken np ry MissUreene
as a courso enabling her to man ago
Her own ouiurs with intelligence. Sho
entered the Law School of Boston
University, and there completed tho
full courso of three years. Tho value
of tho diploma received by the eandi
dato was enhauced by tho addition of
the "magtia cum luude. A few
months later Miss Greene opened un
office in Boston, where sho proved her
ability as a lawyer of high rank. Sho
distinguished herself by an exceeding
ly able argument before tho Judiciary
Committee of the Legislature of tho
State in support of a petition for tho
validity of contracts between husband
and wife, and which wus subsequently
published by the American Luw lie
view. Through delicacy of constitution
Miss Greene has been prevented from
engaging extensively in court work,
her general line of effort being of a
literary character. Her acquisitions
include a thorough knowledge of the
French language, a translation in
erial form, entitled "La Fcmiue Ad

to teach law in tho University of tho
City of New York to a class of young

WOMAN A3 WALKERS.
Many a woman enjoys various eort
of athletic exercisos, yet very few are
good walkers. Whether this arises from
the fact that women' from time im
memorial have been inclined to pinch
their feet with shoes at least kalf a
size too small, or because there does
not seem to be any perceptible benefit
to be derieved from long strolls, we
cannot say, but the truth remains the
same nevertheless, and when the an
