Polly dug the heel of her smart little
slipper into the earth and sent the
hammock forward vigorously. There
were only forty minutes of freedom
left.
At d, when the train came in, she
meant to rise from the hammock, de
llclouslj cool in her swirl of white or
gandie, and give Mr. I low si rd the soft
est and prettiest of "yeses."
Visions of l'aquin and Doucet crea
tions swam before her mistily. It
would be a pleasant life. She would
ride, drive, golf, yacht, be an arbiter
of fashions, an organizer of charities,
a patroness of balls, ill the spring
there would be little jaunts to London
and I'aris. I'olly pillowed her head oil
her arms and watched herself, all bil
lowy satin and diamond sunbursts,
tloat up the aisle to the beating of
drums, the flutter of Hags, the envy of
bridesmaids.
"Pear," said a voice, breaking into
her reverie, "I think you mean to say
yes when Mr. Howard comes up this
afternoon, and 1 want to tell you that
1 am pleased. 11" will be very kind;
you will have everything and go ev
■r» . -here. 1 loved your father, but the
world didn't call it a good match. You
know what my struggles have been to
keep up appearsiuces, and you have
made i sensible decision." Polly's
mother slippt d away.
Th <! ir ."• »» friends believed Polly
to I • a little unnerved by the winter
gap rs. Polly knew thsit she was
summering sit the uiouutain hotel be
cause it was convenient for Mr. How
ard to run up and stay over Sundays.
"The time has come," said Polly,
quoting the Walrus, "and some of us
are out of breath" She almost de
cided to meet Mr. Howard sit the foot
of the hill. His breathlessuess would
be purely physical, but for her sake he
had climbed the hill on a good many
Saturday afternoons. Polly looked at
the shining steel rails below her. There
were thirty minutes left now. She told
herself that she was well content and
then shivered unaccountably. It was
the ridiculous Walrus and Carpenter
story; it w;is the memory of the fate of

oysters who thought they Were in for
such u frolic.
"I say, Sis," yelled Tommy from the
hotel steps (Tommy was the despair of
his family;, "when you marry old How
ard you'll set me u;> to peach cream ev
ery day, won't you '
Polly sat up, very angry. "Come to
me this moment, Tommy ltaker," she
called.
It pleased Tommy to obey. He
stood before her with the wickedest of
grins upon his freckled face. His
dirty bauds clutched a box that I'oily
knew—how well she knew it!
"1 thought you wouldn't need cam
paign trophies now," he said. "I'm
goiu' to give 'em to the fellars that's
got girls. I ain't got no girl."
Polly bent forward with a smile that
even Tommy could not resist. He open
ed the liftle oid treasure box. emptied
its contents into her lap and beat a
retreat.
Polly looked at the little heap. They
were far from campaign trophies. Her
lips twitched at sight of a rude little
heart carved from a peach stone. Such
a tiny thing to sweep the past wide
open! Below the heart was a cheap,
worn copy of "Lucile." There had been
other and costlier "I.uclles," but never
another like that.
At the faint whistle of an approach
ing engine Polly shivered again. Her
mother said Mr. Howard would be very
kind, but she wasn't aching for kind
ness.
"Polly." ®i!id a voice at her elbow,
"aren't you going to run down the hill
to meet him?"
Polly flung a part of her voluminous
frock over her lap. She laughed, with
a little catch in her voice, and said,
"No; I'm kissing myself good by."
The man looked down at the girl nd
mlriugl.v. "You're a thoroughbred," be
raid
"Where's your heiress?" asked Polly.
"Why are you not with her?"
"She isn't mine, Polly. The evil hour
has been put off. The heiress has hurt
her foot and is too nervous to be pro
posed to You've got five minutes left
to you. I.ife h isn't been nice to us,
Polly, but we are not vanquished.
You'll look like a beautiful birthday
rake- all white ami glittery. I'll do a
rlog dam e up the aisle."
I'olly got her lips into a smile.
The train came on.it puffed and
•norted as It climbed, and the little
hills rumbled and grumbled in answer.
The man looked down at the quiet
tigure and stooped and touched the
girl's lingers with his hps.
"We were once a precious pair of
fools, little Polly We've learned to
laugh and be wise now, but somehow
I'd like to be a fool once more."
Not a line of the girl's figure stirred
With a long drawn out shriek the train
swept around a near curve. The man
turned away.
Polly ting her heel into the ground

The sun slanted into the depths of
Polly's Alining, misty eyes. She tried
I to speak, but could not.
Howard, not twenty feet away, stop

"I'm frightened!" Polly's voice qtiiv
j eretl childishly. "We used to"
"We did," with conviction. "It got

Howard wiped his perplexed, middle
1 aged brow then he wiped his perplex

volitional, and the gossamer web of
convention was torn in shreds.

I.end IV nc it Wood.
The cellar used in the manufacture
of pencils in this country is thsit which
grows in Florida, the common red
cedar with shreddy bark and aromatic
heart wood. The wood is shipped from
Florida in small slabs, a little longer
than si pencil, si little wider than four
or six pencils placed side by side and
of proper thickness.
The cedar case of a pencil is made
in halves, each half being equally
chstnnoled. so thsit the place where
they join comes against the center of
the lead.
First we have the slab of wood ;|s it
is shipped from Florida. This slab is
passed under a rotary cutter, which
planes the surface perfectly Hat and
smooth and at the same time grooves
it t<» receive six leads. These leads are
now laid in the grooves of one of these
slabs, sind smother slab, similarly
planed and grooved, is spread with glue
and laid upon it. The two thus put
together are placed in a press and
when perfectly dry are taken out and
passed twice under a grooved rotary
cutter, tirst on one side, rounding one
half of the pencil, and then on the oth
er, finishing the rounding of the whole
pencil and separating one from the
other at the same time.
These single pencils are then passed
through other machines which polish,
varnish, stamp and put them in cases,
ready for delivery to the trade.
ENGLISH AS SPOKEN.

The query "Where is the prettiest
English spoken V" is answered by a
writer in the London News, smd,
strange to say, it is not in England, if
the writer be accepted as sin authorita
tive critic.
It wsis the opinion of Sir Morel! Mac
kenzie thai those who should speak
English most musically were the in
habitsmts of Bsidenoch, Inverness shire,
Scotland. They had the reputation for
centuries of being perfect speakers of
English; but, the writer says, he must
now goto the glens branching north
ward from the Caledonian canal to tind
the language spoken in its purity.
"In the beautiful glen of Moriston in
particular one lisis noted the most ex
quisite speech it seems possible to im
ugiue. There is an almost total ab
sence of dialect and vocal disfigure
ments, though si quaint, delicately
marked rise suul fall of the voice sire
very faintly noticeable. The language
used is extraordinarily pure and free
from alien words, which is attributsible
to the fact that the people acquire their
English direct from books and that so
far dialed contaminations have not
penetrated the glen."
The writer hsis a good word to say
of Celtic pronunciation of English gen
erally; "The charm of Irish English is
undeniable. It lists a softness that ap
peals irresistibly to the ear, but un
fortunatelv it is linked with a certain j
element of dialect which just places it
below perfection."

Curious hand furnaces are used in
China during the winter months, chief
ly in the north, when the tire, in place
of being in the house, as we have it, is
carried about the person beneath the
thickly padded cotton garments or in
the band. At times it is placed be
nesitli the chair on which one is seated.
This contrivance, resembling the char
coal pans formerly used before the
days of the pit coal by the Hertford
shire straw plaiters, was tirst intro
duced to our notice when resting at a
village in the Fukien province, which,
before we had investigated the cause,
we noted as a place remarkable for the
deformity of its inhabitants, old men
and women with strange swellings pro
jecting in the most unaccountable
places. Our speculations were, how
ever, speedily set at rest and the mat
ter satisfactorily explained by an old
gentleman, who removed his greatcoat
and disclosed a small copper furnace
secured round his waist with a band
and neatly covered with basket work.
This art ificial mode of heating the body
is only resorted to in time of extreme
cold, as on ordinary occasions the peo
ple deem their thick clothing a suffi
cient protection during winter.—Golden

Abby sat rocking by tlio south win
dow, listening resignedl> to her moth
er's lamentations si ml reproaches. She
had assumed siltout as awkward and
uncomfortable ;i position as she could
well have invented. w illl one foot
drawn up and her hands clasped
around her knee.
The old rocker lurched and grum
l.led ipierulously. 11. r best blue lawn
dress was tumhled stud crumply. Her
hat plus and the summer breeze had
conspired to muss her hair and make it
untidy. It straggled unbecomingly be
hind her ears and sit the nape of Iter
neck.
"Another unsuccessful quest," said
Koger Sterling to him -elf, with a sa
tirical smile. From his cool library
across the hsill he could see Abby, with
the stroll},' light pelting in over her
at the worst possible angle. He could
stlso hear most of Mrs. Gardener's re
marks, for, as that matter of fact ma
tron said, slit' was so used to her liter
ary boarder she didn't mind him about
the house any more than a cat.
"Nobody'd expect you'd get a posi
tion that took any kind of brains like
Trix's and Msil/s," Mrs. Gardener's
energetic voice proclaimed, "but a lit
tle old district school like that! I don't
hardly see how you could have helped
getting It if you tried to."
"My dates go wrong," confessed Ab
by meekly. "The committee said that,
according to my information, the Dec
laration of Independence must have
been signed several years before Amer
ica was discovered."
"Well, 'tstin't any use to say any
thing more. If a body ain't got a
brain you can't give 'em one! You bet
ter gather tip your duds and put 'cm
away. And 1 don't know as it's worth
while to hunt smother place for you.
I reckon you was cut out for a fail
ure."
Mrs. Gardener settled back Into a
displeased silence rather more depress
ing than her previous harangue had
been. Abby arose with a patient sigh,
gathered up her hat, gloves smd para
sol and trailed limply away.
Roger Sterling looked after her with
more pity and less amusement than

least, material for humorous short

It" there wrre no angular, three corner
ed niches into wli.i !i su<*h women could
be made to tit.
As for Abby, she went into her own
room and sat down on a tall, straight
chair, pondering. There was notliiug
for her to do about the house. Her
mother wa< a hearty, capable woman,
whose pride and boast It was that she
chose to do all her own housework
and allowed no assistance from her
girls or an j one else.
"If she would only let me stay quiet
ly at home and help her," meditated
Abby. "1 wouldn't always feel so su
pertitious and guilty. We don't need
the money, and I'll never get a posi
tion in a century W- 11, if lam a fail
ure, as mother say-, 1 might as well
make the best of it and be as good a
failure as 1 can, so 1 guess I'll goto
work and darn my stockings."
Iloger Sterling, passing down the
walk (in his way to town, saw her at
the window rocking and darning.
"Poor girl!" he thought, with care
less compassion. "<if all dismal and
disconsolate beings 1 think an incapa
ble woman is the most hopeless."
The afternoon was growing late
when he returned by way of the back
porch, as he was privileged to do.

With us they would -still be considered

"On Christmas eve," he says, "when

The lloopoo llirtl.
Tim lioopoo is essentially a bird cf
the desert. A pretty tradition regard
ing the crest upon this bird's head
tells that the crest was a gift from
King Solomon in gratitude for shelter
from the midday sun provided by a
flight of lioopoos. The first decoration
was a crown of gold, but as this
brought unwelcoUie attentions from
fowlers the monarch changed the
crown to a crest «>f feathers.
The characteristic note of the lioo
poo is produced as follows: The bird
swallows as much air as possible and
then taps its beak upon the ground.
The escaping air produces the "hoo
hoo-hoo" which has earned for the
bird its popular name.—London Mail.

1 hough two women had called linn
'"husband," Daniel New comb hail never
been in love, Hi- lirst marriage, with a
cousin, had been in.- lisfy the terms of
his grandfather's will, and the second
union was simply one of convenience
Daniel Newconib, widower, had need
ed a housekeeper, and Hetty Hlomlalc,
au orphan, too old to seek the shelter
of an institution and too trustful to 1»
thrown on the world, had needed a
home. It had resulted as such mar
I riages usually do disastrously for the i
woman.
Daniel was satisfied with Hetty. She
was pretty and economical, and she
made him comfortable, but Hetty had
grown to love her stolid husband with
all the ardor of a young and grateful
heart. Would lie ever really care for
her? Could anything make her appear j
j lovely in his sight? She was asking I
I herself these questions as she stood in \
i Mrs. Yardwell's millinery shop survey
i ing the mass of lace and flowers that
! rested on her sunny head.
"I tell you what, Mis' Xewcouib,"
said Mrs. Yardwell, ready to close a
bargain. If Daniel don't like it or he
lliinks it too high priced I'll agree to
change it. Most all my hats are sold
with that understandin'. Husbands
have to be pleased now'days."
" 'Tisn't the price. Daniel's real lib- !
eral. I'll take it," answered Hetty nerv
ously as she opened her purse. There
was a wistful look in her hazel eyes as
she asked. "Did you know Mary Ellen,
I)aniel's first wife?"
"From the time she was a baby."
"Would she have worn a hat like '
this?"
"Land, no! Them buttercups wouldn't i
'a' looked well agin Mary Ellen's red ,
face, to say nothin' of the poppies. I'd t
as soon looked for tossels on a clothes
line as for posies on Mary Ellen. Even
if she'd inclined to wear'em, she'd j
have faltered at the cost. She was ex
tremely prudent."
"So Daniel says," murmured Hetty
as she left the shop. Her precious
head gear deposited carefully in the
wagon, she unhitched her horse and
started it toward the trim farmhouse
bv the river. Mrs. Yardwell watched
her until her slender figure faded from
sight. Then she wt nt into her work
room.
"Sereny," she <;i i»I to her helper, i
"Daniel .New comb's new wife is a real |
takiif little thing, as sweet an' pretty j
as t'other WH- humbly an' stingy. I'm J
afraid from what she said that Daniel .
Is Mary Ellcnin' her to death. I'oor i
little thing! I do hope she is happy."
But Hetty was not happy. Many j
times since her marriage had --tie look
ed with tear tilled eyes toward the lit- j
tie burial plot beneath the evergreens j
and prayed that she might fill the '
place In her husband'- heart formerly j
occupied by the woman sleeping there, j
Iler husband's approval of her was ;
gauged by the way her actions tallied j
with Mary Ellen -
Daniel was not displeased, but the
difference in the women was so strik- |
j lng that more than once he was quite |
' unconscious of an uttered comparison. ;
The lirst wife, a model housewife, had j
a fa« ulty of making pie feel uncom
fortable in her presence. Hetty's :
household duties might be performed a 1
trifle less religiously, the dust might j
sometimes settle upon the parlor fur- |
niture, but the sunlight crept there,
too, and her very nature radiated com
patibiiitv.
On one occasion the usual compari
son remained unexpressed. Hetty had
called her husband into the brightly
lighted parlor and pointed proudly to
the old sofa piled high with pillows
covered with chintz, and denims. She
had found some unused feather beds
In the attie and in them had seen the
possibilities of a cozy corner such as
she had often admired in the shop
windows. Before Daniel could utter
the customary "Mary Ellen wouldn't
have done that," she invited him to
test its comfort, and, lulled by the
luxurious softness, the remark was
lost In a doze. Thereafter it was his
favorite retreat and one not forbidden
him. Shade of Mary Ellen! How was
Betty to know that the unused feather
beds and the darkened parlor were the
pride of her predecessor's heart?
It was with many misgivings that
she called Daniel's attention to her
new hat. There was no mistaking the
disapproval in his countenance.
"You going to wear —that?" he
gasped.
"Why, yes. Don't you like it, Dan
iel?" Hetty perched it bewitchingly on
her head.
"It's pretty enough. Hut how those
red flowers will look agin the crape
band on my hat! I vowed I'd show all
respect to Mary Ellen, and that band
can't come off in less than a year.
Ain't you got no respect for appear
ances? Hed poppies agin black crape!
Oh, Hetty, can't you understand how I
feel?" One look at the bright head and
the nodding flowers, and Daniel dashed
out toward the barn.
Poor Hetty! She removed the hat
and fell weeping into a chair. Yes; she
understood. She knew now how lonely
he was, and she would show him that
she sympathized with him. Hurriedly
she wrapped up the offending head
dress and slipped from the house. It
was a long, hot walk back to the milli
ner's, but her one thought was to get
back to Mrs. Yardwell.
"Mrs. Yardwell," she cried breath
lessly after " hat seemed an eternity of

I've got to Lave a mourning bonnet "
"For the I >nd sak' i!" exclaimed the !
milliner, I! rricil by curiosity. "Have I
yon lost a n ! uiion? ! didn't ..now you j
had one."
"Sort of one," ansv -red Hetty, giving j
a farewell pat to the poppies. "1 want ;
the deepest dyed mourning you've ■
got."
It was somi upon her head, a heavy
black thing that fcli in hot folds over
her shoulders. Hack over the road siie
trudged, the weight of the bonnet pull
ing at her temples and sending throbs
into her head The heat of the sun
made her dizzy and faint. <>li. for

Then she remembered no more.
When Daniel returned that night
from doing the chore- he missed Het
ty's welcome at the door. She had j
not failed to meet him there since
their marriage. He found her on the
kitchen floor enveloped in widow's
weeds and writhing in agony Cliimsi
but tenderly, be removed the uglv
bonnet and placed her on her lied,
w here she lay raving and tossing while
he ran for help. It was fortunate that
the doctor wa- •It i \ illii past just a -
tlie distracted man rushed from the
house. He administered the proper
antidote for the poison Hctt\ had sw I
lowed in her search for headache meil
icine.
Mrs Yardwell was soon summoned,
for Betty raved of her and the poppy
hat. She called Daniel to a conference
in the barn. What was said to him he
never quite remembered. He was won
dering dumbly if Betlj were going to
die and Irv ing to picture home without
her. For once in his busy life he was
taking time to realize that he was In
love with his wife.
When Hetty opened her eyes in ton
selousness It wa- to find her husband
sitting by her tenderly stroking her
hands, and the beloved poppy hat lay
on the coverlet beside her. She looked
at him wonderingly.
"It's for you, dear," said Daniel husk
ily, "for you to wear. In all respect to
Mary Ellen, I've taken off the crape,
and we'll let her rest now where she
is. Forgive me, Betty. I've been a
brute. But I've suffered since you've
been lying there, and I've found out
j how dear you are to me."
"But I'm not like Mary Ellen," whis
! pered Hetty faintly.
"No, thank (iod! But you're mine,
and I love you. I want you to be hap
py in your own way hereafter, and try
to love me a little. Will you. dear?"
She was too weak to answer, but she
smiled a happy little smile as her hus
band bent and for the first time gave
her a lover's kiss.

He was very intelligent and I believe
was as near human as an animal could
be. He would sit at a table to eat, put

fork and spoon when necessary. When
he had finished he would use the nap
kin, carefully fold it up and lay it beside
his plate. About two weeks before he
died a severe attack of pneumonia set
in, and Dr. Marsh, surgeon of the park
police, was called. Every morning
when the doctor entered the room he
would say, "tiood morning, Crowley,"
and Crowley would get up to shake
hands. Then the doctor would say,
"How are you this morning?" and
Crowley would grin. The doctor would
examine him and say, "Your pulse,

Crowley would throw back his arms to

He grew very feeble before death,

"The prevalent idea that drinking
and smoking are companion vices is al
together wrong," said a physician who
has made a special study of dipsoma
nia. "I tind, on the contrary, that the
habitual drunkard is not abnormally
addicted to the use of tobacco. He may
use the weed as a lesser stimulant
when not strongly under the influence
of alcohol, but when the drink gets
firmly intrenched in his system he cares
nothing for tobacco, for then it has lost
i its force and its influence upon his
nerve§. Of course I mean in extreme
cases.
"On the other hand, it is a rather
curious fact that in the case of the
moderate drinker, Avho also smokes, the
cutting off of his supply of tobacco will
increase his appetite for alcoholic bev
erages, and while at first the liquor
will not affect him nearly so much as
when he is smoking, in the end it will
do him up. Consequently it is safe to
assume that the man who always used
liquor and tobacco in moderation will,
if he gives up tobacco, take more
strongly to liquor. In fact, this is no
assumption: it has been demonstrated
on numerous occasions."— Philadelphia

A patient entered the consulting
room walking backward, under the de

him. as I expected, the doctor entered

sympathizing with him. The patient
was at once won over and placed the

A day or two afterward the doctor
met him with feigned surprise and con
gratulated him. "» >n what'.'" asked the
patient. ".Midge for yourself," replied
the doctor, handing him a mirror. The
man surveyed his corrugated counte
nance intently for a few seconds, when
with the dawn of conviction there stole
a grin into hi- stern features. Thank

this is combined with a multiplicity of
