It was the kitten that began it, the
Maltese kitten whose name was Dot,
though it was usually called l>y ""J'
endearing epithet which came handy..
It ought not to have tired of the paper ,
hall provided for it, nor gone ou a j
tour of exploration into the hall, nor
then into Craham's studio.* Rut the
last was Graham's fault, because he
had neglected to close the studio door
when he went out.
Of course. Miss Ma tie! Hustings had
to got her pet, and, of course, as the
kitten woußi not come at her call, the
only way was togo into the studio
after it.
She found It sifter a considerable
search sitting serenely beneath the big
chair under the long studio window.
With the kitten safe In her arms she
should have gone buck to her inter
rupted work. She did not, however.
She listened to the voice of the tetppt
er, who told her that her opportunity
was come at last; that having seen so
much it was no harm to see a little"
more, and that no one would know.
She had wanted for a long while to
know what (Jraham's studio was like,
and if it suited with him, and a num
ber of other things.
It is the first step that counts. From
a general survey Miss Hastings ..de
scended to a particular examination.
She tiptoed across the room, glanced -j
at the books and inspected the Japa
nese Ivories inn cabinet on' the wall.
Then, having imbrued one' flnger, as
it were, and nothing having happened,
there seemed to be no reason why she
should not dip in her whoh; Ihuis- t Re- j
sides, if Graham should come, she had
the kitten for excuse. It wi.,n to the
kitten she talked as she. wandered
about.
"He wouldn't cafe at my looking at
his pictures, kitty," sh'e"'confided as
st»e rummaged in a stack of canvases,
"and anyway if he doesn't want them,
looked at why does.he put them with
their faces to the waJl? ..He, ought to
know that that would rt*Uus t any one—
any one desire to see therm I-'wonder
if they are rejected picture and if he '
hates to see them as'l'do tliht pile of 1
rejected stories of mine.' Perhaps that
is why he leaves them # w,rong side out. ]
Hum! 'Spring Scene,' ,rßather good, I
should say. Italian I'tst*iant <Jirl.' I
don't think much of her. Old man with
pipe, moonlight or ' sunrise or some
thing. It's pretty, but' P can't make It

She moved about the ro&rn sh»,
talked, studying the sketches <*n *hej

feeling the texture of.the tapestries, i
running her linger Monk the mantel

"It's Just the kind of studio I thought
he'd have, Dotlets. r It's" Jits* like himr

this morning, I'm going to see what it
is. It's covered by a curtain, but A peep
won't hurt any one.",, ,
The easel stood in the corner by -a
table Uttered with half squeezed tubes, •
brushes, palettes and paint rags, as-If
the painter had thrown tliem down In
a sudden heat of exasperation over the
Inadequacy of his art. ,
Mabel drew the curtain frbm the pic

painting stool. It was her own picture

There were Jewels' gletlming in the j
meshes of her coiled hair, and row upon
row of pearls clasped the delicately |
curved throat. Iler were play- j
lng with the roses in/ier lap. Her eyes j
were dreamy.
"Now, how did lie. kuo\\ ? , Ivatinka, -

"It Is a beautiful face."

"I suiipose I hadn't." Graham reach

! it.
"What nre you going to do?" asked
; Mabel faintly.
"Destroy It, or, rather, lot you, for I

"Von might correct it"

i "couldn't you put Dot In somewhere?

And Graham agreed.
THE WEIGHT OF MONEY.
Deceptive Appcnranee of Metal an
Well nm I'upcr.
"The weight of money is very de
; ceptive," said tin employee of the treas
j ury. "For instance, a young man came
, in; here one day with a young woman,
i I was showing tliem through the de
i partuient and happened to ask him if
j lie thought the young girl was worth
j her weight in gold. lie assured me
that he certainly did think so, and
| after learning that her weight was 10t»
[ pounds we figured that she would be
| worth in gold The young man
j was fond enough of her to think that
| was rather cheap.
! "Another thing that deceives many
( people," he continued, "is the weight
of paper money. Now, how many one
'dollar bills do you think it would, take
to weigh as much as one five dollar
J. goldr.iece?"
> On a guess the visitor sriid fift}-, and
ij the clerk laughed. ■
"I have heard guests on that," he
j sahl, "all thfe"Wtiy from 50 to (VK),
I and from men who have handled
j-iTK'ney for years. The, fact .off the mat
• tor is that with a five dollar goldpiece
! on one scale you would only have to
! put six and one-half"dollar bills on the
other defile M balance it.
' 1 'Tire question afterward was put to
1 <«eferal people and elicited answers all
the wtiy from 20 to 1,000, the majority
.gpessing from 300 to ffKl.
"Taking the weight of gold coins and
bills given at the treasury. It was figur
ed that a five dollar goldpiece weighs
j .290 of an ounce avoirdupois. The em
ployee at the treasury who handled
the paper money said that 100 bills
Weigh' four and one-half ounces. That
would make one bill weigh .45 of an
ounce, and between six and seven bills
would balance the goldpiece.
On the proposition of how much
money one can lift, figures wore ob
i< tallied at.the treasury. Where certain
niunU.ers of coins were placed in bags
) and weighed as standards, for exam
ple, the standard amount of gold coin
is $.1,000, which weighs I§V6 pounds.
Five hundred silver dollars weigh
pounds, while ?2<)o in halves, or 400
coins, weigh eleven pounds.
Two hundred, pounds of coin money
i of various kinds is made up as fol
i lows: Silver dollars, $2,<517; half dol
lars, $3,030; quarter dollars, $3,t157;
i dimes, $3,015.80; nickels, $917; pennies,
| $295.01.
In one dollar bills the same weight
j would amount to $71,111.— Washington

Innocent Advice,
"Now, Mr. Dickson," urged Mrs.
Pounderby, who found things slacking
somewhat at her reception, "I am sure
you can sing. You luive such a singing

liut the nervous Dickson protested
| that, in spite of ids face, he could not
: oblige, and some one else stepped into
i the breach. A little later on, however,
! while the hostess happened to be out
of the room, his courage revived, and
he sang "Bonnie Mary of Argyle" in a
I way that made one feel sorry for
j Mary.
Indue course the party broke up,
and Dickson was one of the first to
, leave.
"CJoodby, dear Mr. Dickson," said the
innocent Mrs. I'ounderby effusively. "I
am so sorry you can't sing. You really
ought to learn, you know."

GRINNING MATCHES.

That griniiing matches were an ac
| cepted form of sport in early English
j days is shown by an advertisement an- j
j notincijig a gold ring to In' grinned for j
jby men on Oct. at the Swan, < 'oleshill I
heath, in Warwickshire, which appear- j
ed in the l'ost-Boy of Sept. 11 anil 17, !
1711, supplemented by the suggestion
that all the country fellows within ten :
miles of the Swan should grin an hour j
or two in their glasses every morning 1
iu order to qualify themselves for tliia |
extraordinary competition.
Addison gives a detailed account of |
one of these "controversies of faces," j
telling us that the audience unanimous- |
ly bestowed the ring on a cobbler, who |
"produced several new grins of his own
invention, having been used to cut
faces for many years together over his
last."
His performance was something like
this: "At the very first grin he cast ev
ery human reature out of his counto
nance; at the second he simulated the
face of a spout, at the third that of a
baboon, at the fourth the head of a
bass viol and at the fifth a pair of nut
crackers." Addison adds that a comely
wench, whom he had wooed in vain for
more than five years, was so charmed
with his grins that she married him the
following week, the cobbler using the
prize as his wedding ring.

A certain old deacon w T ho formerly
lived in Warrensburg was a good deal
like several sanctified looking old fel
lows who still live In the country
towns and occasionally visit its cities
i "on business." This good man, ac
cording to the Warrensburg Journal-
Democrat, was found "bucking the tl
, ger" in a St. Louis gambling house
I with an energy of purpose that was
admirable. "What!" exclaimed the
young man who found him, starting
j backward. "Deacon, is it possible you
! are here?"
"Oh, yes," calmly rejoined the old
! sinner. "I am bound to break up this
j evil institution."
The Bethel Flag.
In the State museum at Raleigh, N.
C., is a flag that was carried in the first
battle of the civil war. It Is known as
the "Bethel" flag because it was borne
by the Buncombe riflemen in the battle
of Bethel, fought in Virginia June 10,
18G1. It was made by the women of
A she vi lie and presented to the com
pany, which belonged to the First
North Carolina regiment, and which
lost the first Confederate killed in that
[ battle, Ilenry A. Wyatt.

One of the most pitiable tragedies
in human life is that of strong young
men and young women letting their
powers goto waste for lack of educa
tion. Many of them lament their ig
norance, but excuse it on the ground
of "no chance" or opportunity. Such
excuses in a land which teems with
| chances deceive no one but those who
| make them. Success.
