Sho exclaimed aloud with delight at sight of the scenery. Sho was not at all seasick on the boat, but bought peanuts and munched apples, ate green peas with her knife and ipiestioned Mr. Kldon in a rery audible whisper as to thn uso of the linger bowls at tho steamer dinner table. "What a wild girl of the wooJs!" said the New York lawyer to himself; and aain he thought of his wife's probable verdict, "Hut sho has got eyes like a young doer, and those straying curls make ino think of a wild grapevine, and I do not like to hear hor laugh I" John Kldon was at the pier to moot tho I'ortlaud boat on which his father was expected.

"But ranches cost money," isaid Barbara, "Then IM hire ont as a hand," said Jack, rubelliously. "I'm good at breaking horses." "And I'd make tho bntter and feed the chickens," Raid Astrea, joyfully. "Yon aro two silly children," said Mrs. Kldon. Yet all of a sudden something scorned to bring back to her the lost aweetness of departed youth, and her eyes wcro momentarily dimmed with tears. "Mamma," pleaded Elaine, "it will hurt Jack if you oppose this thing and Astrea loves him so dearly t" "But there's Owcmtolino Ballersby, with that great East Indian fortune 1" sobbed Mrs.' Kldon, toru by conflict ing emotions. "What's a fortune," cried Elaine, "if lovo don't go with it." "Well," eaid Mr. Eldon, "then the matter is settled. If Jack goes West, wc all go West together. For since Jennifer X.

"I'leasc, toy lady," said tho solemn footman, "there's a gentleman be low; and when I asked him for his card, ho said he never had one iu hi house his principles was ag'in it." "Oh," shrieked Astrea, who had un conventionally peeped over tho balus ter rail, "it's grandfather! It s grand father, come back from tho West !" "Another pauper to maintain !" sighed Mrs. Eldon. Old Jethro Black came smiling into the group, leaning on a gold headed enne uud woaring a suit of black clothes in which ho seemed to feel ex cessively uncomfortable. "Yes," said he, "I've como back. My brother, he's been took away at last, and he's left mo enough to keep me in comfort tho rest of my days. He was a savin' creetnr, Hezekiuh was, and there'll bo a nico littlo sum for Astrea.

A large number of cactus seed had lodged in the dirt on the roof, and Id the course- of time there was quite a crop of cactus up there.

There arc some people still left who refuse to believe that a baseball can travel out of the straight line be tween the pitcher's box and the home I lato on its way to the catcher. It has been proved again and again that a ball can be "curved" by a now well-known experiment. Two stakes aro set up so that the pitcher standing behind one cannot hit a mark cn the left side of the other In a straight line, the ball passing to the right of the first. In deed, a short while age a noted col lege pitcher was offered 11,000 by an old gentleman of his acquaintance If ho could prove to his satisfaction that a baseball could be pitched In a curve. Tho pitcher at once set up two stakes in his bick yard and curved tho ball around them In fine style. But the old gentleman Insisted that the whole thing was an optical de lusion, and is no more convinced than ever. Every boy knows how nard it Is to bat an "out-curve" or a "drop," and after he has struck ou. a few times wants no one to prove to him there Is such a thing as curve pitching. There Is little use In trying to ex plain the theory of this performance here, as many scientific pacers hav written on It, which, after all, would not help a man to tosa a tennis ball. The final twist given the ball as If leaves the hand makes a spinning motion, so that there Is more resist, ance by the air on one side or the other, and the ball Is forced out of tralght line by unequal pressure on one of Us sides. A Lively Murro, Rest to a cat there Is nothing so tough and tenacious of life as a Hock Mountain burro, and some of the tales told about this little animal are marvelous. One day as the express train was running Into Santa Fe, N. M., the engineer spied a burro walk ing on the track. He whistled and lowed up, but the burro Ignored all tlgnals, and In consequence was knocked about thirty foot ahead of the train. One hoof still lay on the track, and the engineer, coming to a Itop, got out with his fireman to push the carcass Into the ditch. Each eized a leg, but beforo they could bcave the burrow scrambled to his feet, planted a couple of kicks on the two men, Jumped the ditch and was off. On the neit trip tho burro was teen, a little stiff In one leg, but otherwise uninjured. Tb Prince' Hold Inlaid Cot. England's new baby prince has a gorgeous layette.

THS OLDER BOSTON. The English Town After Which Oar Mod ern City Is Named. Few of the thousands of people who look upon Boston, In Massachu setts, as one of the finest cities on the continent (and therefore as one of the finest In the world) are aware of the existence of a much older town of the same name from which our modern city took Its name. Is Is over in England and, though now but - l aleenv town, was at nnn Mm a nno r,f the foremost clt lesof England. It 'was founded In 057 by St Botolph, a Saxon priest, and was named St. b o t o 1 p h's town, which was subsequently cor rupted into Bos ton. In the thtr- a a t tat JOHS o.'TToW. icon hi cuutury ID paid more taxes than any other town In England, with ono exception, and It continued to prosper until Queen Bess' time, when the mouth of tho river Wlthani, which Hows through tho town, dried up and as a conse quence its commerce was destroyed, Tho oldest edlflco in town is St. Botolph's Church which was built early In tho 12th century. At tho time tho l'llgrini Fathers landed at Plymouth Bock, this church was pre sided over by Uev. John Cotton, an eccleslast of great learning and much loved by tho people. Believing that the new country offered him a better Held for work Cotton sailed hithet with se.voral other good Englishmen and landed In Massachusetts bay. Hero they founded a new town and TH OLD BOSTON cucncu named It Boston, out of respect for John Cotton, the first pastor of the first church to have an existence In the Boston of the new world. Mr. Cotton lived to a good age, dying In 1032, honored by tho whole colony. His old church In Boston, Eng., still stands and Is an object of much in terest to travelers. In 1H.15 the peo. pie of the American Boston restored the old church to a good condition and placed In It a tablet com memorating the virtues und services of John Cotton.
