CONFESSED IN TIME Nurse Ethel had been with old Mrs. Pardoefor over six months, and the ex acting old lady was a bad patient. When Dr. Richard West wood went to University hospital, he had requested that if possible Nurse Ethel should be sent, she being a distant relative of the patient. When first she arrived, her duties had been light, and she had enjoyed revisiting friends she had not seen since she went to London to learn her profession. In this way she had met Philip Soniers. who, about a month after her attendance on the old lady, had begun to pay her most marked attention. But Ethel was not attracted by his dark face and was glad that her in creasing duties rendered their meet ings few and far between. The daily visit of Dr. Westwood, to which she found she looked forward with a strange delight, was over. The doctor was just turning to leave when a different look of solicitude came over his face. "Yon are worn and pale, nurse. Have you been taking care of your own health lately?" "Oh, yes." "Have you taken your dally exer cise regularly? You know the end is not far off now, and probably you have a hard and anxious week before you. I insist on your going out Into the fresh air, Ethel." The calm professional air was now slipping from him. The door was opened. Dr. West wood dropped her hand, and the lovers sprang apart. "Mrs. Pardoe says will you come to her at once, nurse?" An hour passed before nurse could leave her patient. She sank into one of the seats in the public park and was enjoying the soft spring air. when Philip Somers, rais ing his hat, came and sat down beside her. After a few commonplace remarks fie mentioned the name of Richard Westwood. "A good doctor he may be," said he, "but a worthless, scheming fellow for all that." "How dare you say such a thing? What grounds have you for your cow ardly assertion?" she exclaimed. "I think it only right you should know,"he said, feeling that now was his opportunity, "that Dr. Westwood is aware that Mrs. Pardoe has made you her residuary legatee, which means a very considerable fortune to you. He was a witness to her will, signed four months ago. I only tell you this, Ethel, because I love you so that I cannot bear to see you wooed by a man who only loves you for the money you will possess. Ethel, will you be my wife?" "Leave me," she blazed out. "How can you tell me that it is for money I only that I can be loved?" He stammered an excuse, but she silenced him. That night Mrs. Pardoe's illness as sumed a more serious character, and she died before morning. On the will being read after the fu neral it was found that Ethel Mary Walton was appointed "residuary legatee." "I wish a good round sum had been mentioned," said Dr. Westwood to old Mr. Somers as he was tying up his papers. "The 'residue' may turn out to be half a crown when all is settled up." "She will have about $75,000," said the lawyer dryly. "Miss Walton," he continued, "cannot be persuaded to stay in the neighborhood. She dislikes the place and leaves for good today." »•••*«• The battle of Tel-el-Kebir had been fought. » Among the first over the enemy's in trenchments was Philip Somers of the Forty-sixth liighlanders, but as he scrambled to the top he got his death wound and fell heavily on the othei side. Then the tide of battle surged back. No one seemed to have noticed his fall. But the young doctor who had so lately come out had seen his perilous position. Quick as thought he sprang over the embankment, raised his burden and bore the wounded man out of harm's way. But Philip Somers was beyond his skill. He recognized his protector, and a spasm passed over his pain drawn face. "Westwood," he gasped, "she loves you, but I told her you knew of the legacy and only wanted her money." "Whom?" asked Richard. "Ethel," said the faint voice. "lie fore the governor found out I had been 4oing the pace, and I enlisted"— It was some time before Dr. West •vood could be spared, and then, burry ng to his tent, he found that Philip ■Joiners had gone to stand before the reat Judge to whom we must all some > '.ay render an account.

Then know that a fresh fish is firm of flesh (so firm that pressure will not leave an indentation), and full eyed, that it has bright scales, stiff fins, red gills (never pale nor liver colored), and finally that its odor is neither marked nor unpleasant.

A woman who knows all nhout flower* and their care has compiled the followjtig rules for keeping cut (lowers: The ends of the stems of all flowers should be cut off before tley are placed in water. It is better to strip 1- •aves from that part of the stem which will be immersed. Do not allow the ends of the stems to rest on the bottom of the vase. In T'uttine the ends, snip them off at right angles to the stalk. Change the water each day and at the same time again cut the ends of the flower stems. Do not place flowers near or under lights—gas or lamp—when it can be avoided. Maidenhair fern should be kept rolled up in moistened paper and on the ice, or with the stems in the water in a coo! place, until ready for use. In this way it will last for some time. Mignonette is generally grown in a coo) house and for this reason often droops when first placed in a heated room. It is Well to put it in the icebox, in water, for a time, when it will revive, "harden," and if properly cared for each day last a long time. Many flowers do more satisfactorily if placed in water with the ehill off until the stems have become filled and arc then allowed to stand in an ice chest or very cool place fur a time. Roses will oc casionally revive if placed in ice water ohvays with the ends of the stems pre viously cut. Never place cut flowers in a draft or in sunlight. AnimnlN Tlmf nioom. Anemones, sponges, the sea cucum bers and certain other growths which bloom and • apparently behave in all respects like plants arc really animals. The petals of the anemone, resem bling those of a chrysanthemum, are really tentacles to catch food and put it into the hollow tube which forms the stomach, where it is digested. The sea cucumber has a llatteued body. It occasionally moves at a snail's pace over the mud or sand, digging its pet als, for arms, into the sludge for food, to obtain which it swallows a fair proportion of mud. It has power to sting and so keeps away its enemies. The sea lily so exactly resembles the common lily that it is difficult to real ize that it is an animal and belongs to the starfish family. It has a stalk two feet long, with a disk for a body. The tentacles close round the disk, which has a mouth, and completes the de ceptive likeness. They are the oldest form of animal life on earth, ajid their fossils are called "stone lilies." These creatures were believed to be plants and many people still refuse to believe otherwise.

The traveler on the plains in the early days soon learned the significance of the spires of smoke tl'it lie sometimes saw rising from a distant ridge or hill and that in turn lie might see answer ed from a different direction. It was the signal talk of the Indians across miles of intervening ground, a signal usee*#,i rallying the warriors for an at tack or warning them for a retreat when that seemed advisable. The Indian had a way of sending up the smoke in rings or puffs, knowing that such, a smoke column would sit once be noticed and understood as a | signal and not taken for the rmoke of some campfire. lie made the rings by Covering the little lire with his blanket for a moment and then suddenly re moving tho blanket and allowing the smoke to ascend, when he instantly covered the lire again. The column of ascending smoke rings said to every Indian within 30 miles: "Look out. There is an enemy near." Three smokes built close together meant dan ger. One smoke merely meant atten tion. Two smokes meant "Camp at this place." Travel the plains, and the usefulness of this long distance tele phone will quickly become apparent. Sometimes at night the settler or traveler saw fiery lines crossing the sky, shooting up and falling, perhaps taking a direction diagonal to the line of vision. He might guess that these were the signals of Indians, but unless he were an old timer he might not be able to interpret the signals. The old timer and the squaw man knew that one fire arrow (an arrow prepared by treating tho head of the s!;:;ft with gunpowder and fine bark) meant the j same as the column of smoke pu'Ts-- viz, "An enemy is near." Two arrows ! meant "Danger." Three arrows said | Imperatively, "This danger is great." Several arrows said, "The enemy are too many for us." Two arrows shot up Into the air at once meant "We shall attack;" three at once said. "We at tack now." An arrow shot off in a diagonal direction said as plainly as pointing a finger, "That way." Thus the untutored savage could telephone fairly well at night as well ss in day time." Giiardine Her TVetli. It is easy to misunderstand and easy to be misunderstood, and sometimes, happily, it is easy to give and to accept tin explanation. '"1 did think 1 would never come to see you again," said a cousin of the prominent society woman who had come to the country to visit her and was about to start homeward. "It's kind of you to ask me, of course, but 1 remember that when 1 was at your house in the city, two years ago, you did not seem glad to see me. You were kind and hospitable, of course, but 1 remember you did not smile once dur ing the entire two weeks of my stay." To her astonishment, her city cousin burst into a fit of laughter. "Maria." she said, "just before you came 1 had the misfortune to break the porcelain 'crown' from one of my new front teeth, and as my dentist was out of town on his vacation I had to wait for his return. 1 didn't dare to smile when any one was looking at me, for fear of showing the ghastly metallic 'back' to which the porcelain had been attached. It was a strain, Maria, but I was equal to it.and I did not want to have to explain." And her smile, now without a me chanical flaw, re-enforced the renewed invitation.—Youth's Companion. Dasliaway—Miss Pinkerly told mt the other day that her doctor had put her on a meager diet, and 1 thought it would be just, the time to ask her out to luncheon. Cleverton And did she accept? "Did sin*! Well, I should say so. She informed me that there was one day in the week that lie allowed her to eat anything she pleased."
