In the Grip of Environment Bu HENRY WINTHROP Copuf'dht. 1904. by T. C. McClare Jim Blakely, the clown, came dash ing out of the ring into the dressing tent and stopped short. Nellie Cos grove was sitting on top of the leaping pad, her usually merry eyes streaming with tears. Beside her stood a man looking exceedingly awkward and un comfortable. Circus folk are always resentful of the Intrusion of the outside world into their domain, and the fact that this Stranger wore n frock coat ami an ex ceedingly shiny silk hat was all that was needed to convince Jim that he was the cause of Nellie's tearful eyes, lie strode up wrathfully, his painted face In ludicrous contrast to the in tense tones of his voice. "Bee here," he said fiercely, "this Isn't any place for an outsider, least of all for a bloomin' dude what comes In aud insults one of our girls. If you don't get out of here quick you'll be sorry for it, and I won't have to call any 'Hey, Rube!' to do it." Spangles, the Great Pane, that did a pad riding act as well as leading a JIM 1" SHE SATO PLAINTIVELY. troupe of trained dogs, pricked up her •arn knowingly and rose to her feet "Hey, Rube!" the circus war cry from time immemorial, was no new sound to her, and she looked affectionately at the left leg of the stranger's carefully creased trousers, deciding that a spot about four inches below the knee would be the strategic point for a grip. Nellie raised a hand. "Don't, Jim:" •he said plaintively. "lie hasn't said anything to me. It's Just that they waut to take me away." "Take you away!" he cried Incredu lously. "Why, you've been with the old show ever since you were a little kiddle, ever since your ma died of y<-l low fever In Rio, and we picked you op the next season. That was way back In 1802, and you were a little shrimp of twelve. Take you away! I'd like to see the man who'd try it!" "It's the money," she explained de spairingly. "I'm an heiress, and this gentleman is the lawyer. lie wants me togo back to New York with him tonight." For a single moment Blakely's frame grew rigid. The lawyer, a keen ob server of men. followed clearly the mental strain the circus man was un- j dergolng. He could see what the girl had never seen, that this man with the uncouth mask of zinc and carmine lov •d the little rider, and In the brief struggle he read the fight of an honest man with his own desires. In that short space Blakely made his fight. ' When he spoke his voice was cold and commonplace. "We always said," he commented, "that your mother's people must he of the right sort. I'm glad of It. Work with the tents Isn't for such as you." Then he turned, but more than the makeup came off on the towel as he hurriedly changed his face for the dog act. As one In a daze he put his pets through their paces, and after the show was over and the concert audience was slowly tiling into the show lot ho ■till went about his work as though In a dream. He had loved and watched over Nel 11* ever since that time in Rio Ja neiro when, "way back In 1892," they had picked up the little slip of a girl, the sole survivor of a circus troupe which had played through Sooth America the season before. He had known Frank Cosgrove well, a fine, gentlemanly fellow, who had run off with an English girl when her parents had objected to her marrying the "riding master" of an English caranan. They had come to America toes cape memories, and she had taken up with circus life as willingly as though ■he had not been reared In luxury. It waa Biakely who had persuaded Del more to take the girl into the troupe, and It was he who had completed her education as a rider. Before a broken leg compelled him to take to clown ing he had been a wonderful bare .back somersaulter himself. lie had hoped some day to make her his wife when the nest egg in a city auviugs bank had grown large enough to warrant the purchase of a country place and assure a competence when they should have retired. Until then be bad spoken no word of love, but rather had encouraged her to look upon him as her foster father. Now he was to lose her and all that he had planned and worked and saved lor But it was l>est for her that waa enough for him He took no part in the ring bank chat after supper. lie had no heart to alt there about the bank and hear the comment that would be made about the good fortune, and he went out back of the dressing tent, and, lighting the ■hort stub of a pipe he carried, blew great clouds of smoke Into the soft evening nir, as tie tried to think what the circus would be on the morrow, i with no little Nell to make every one merry. There In the soft light that came , through the tent she found him. Out , front all was life and movement. Here j they were practically alone She slip j ped down beside him on the overturn ed manger and slipped her hand Into his. Ills horny palm closed over her tiny fingtrs, and he put away the pipe, but gave no other sign. It was she who opened the conversation. "I feel like a dream girl tonight," •he began confidingly. "Don't you re member how we used to plan that If we ever got money we would start a ■how of our own, and only have in the company people we really liked and make them do only one act apiece?" He laughed shortly. "It's funny what rot we think. Now you've got the money, you've got to go and live up to it it would never do for an heiress to ride In the ring." "I don't want togo a bit," she pro tested. "This is the life I know and love. I want to stay here and be my self, not another girl all dressed up, j with servants and all that sort of thing." He turned on her sharply. "See here, Nell," he commanded. "Don't talk like that. It's hard work doing two acts twice a day. it's not for you, my girl Make up your mind to that." She turned up the turf with the toe of a dainty shoe. "I don't want to make up my mind to It," she protested. "I don't care for the old money. I want to be here with you and ail the rest. You hurt me!" she broke oft suddenly, releasing her hand from his grasp and rubbing it. "1 didn't mean to hurt you, child." he said sadly. "I was thinking." He could not tell her how that one sen tence had torn at his heartstrings, al ready sore. He rose. "Well, I've got togo in and get Spangles ready. I'll | say good by after the show." He turn | ed on his heel, and presently she could | hear him calling to the dog. Then other sounds of preparation began, and presently slii\ too, went inside. • •••••• '1 he "round top" was already packed ' in the wagons and on its way to the cars when Nellie emerged from the women's side of the dressing tent, ; where the lawyer waited Impatiently for his charge. She went up to the boss property man."Put my trunk in the wagon, Sam," she said. "I'm going lon with the show." The lawyer blustered and stormed. | but she was adamant, and finally he appealed to Blakely. "You can't go with us. Nell," said , the clown, his face as white as though j he had not removed his ring makeup. I "There is no reason why you should stay on." She made liim a saucy courtesy. | "There is every reason, good sir," she smiled. "In the tirst place, this is my life, the only one I know or want, and besides" she went very close and whispered in his ear—"besides, I found out back of the tent there thut—l— loved you." And after that what could Blakely say ? Tl»e 1)1 fTo rou <*e. Uncle Jared and Uncle Benjamin made a sorry pair. True there was i blood on Uncle Benjamin's forehead, and he looked white and faint. But Uncle Jared. who tried to support him, walked with a very pronounced limp, displayed only one coat tail where two should have been and was rumpled and bedraggled generally in a way to sug gest participation in a riot. "What's happened to you two?" ask ed a townsman. "That pesky colt of Benjamin's run away and tlirowed him just as I came along." Uncle Jared answered. "I'm giving him a lift along toward home."

I saw your name in the registry and have been trying to find time to call on you ever since I came to the church, but somehow I could not get around to this neighbor hood until today.

An irascible oid colonel who used to play golf at Sandwich, which Is 011 the river Stour, had a habit, common with many, of blaming everybody but him self for his bad strokes. Finally one day, becoming badly bunkered, he first took mighty vengeance on the turf with his club; then, glaring around in expectation of the usually friendly comments and nobody saying anything, he blurted out, "How can you expect a man to play decent golf on these cursed links with ships passing up and down the channel?"— London Mail.

It is well known that people who are unable to write usually use for their signatures the familiar cross or X. Why this sign is used Instead of any other is not generally known. In times long gone by the early Christians used to sign with the cross to distinguish them from the heathen. Kings and nobles, too, were wont to affix a cross to documents, whether they could write or not, as a symbol that they pledged themselves to the Christian faith and thus to the truth of the matter to which the cross was atHxed.

STERN Copufl(j!it. 190*. by S. T. Stem With most people the story ends after I Lie heart interest has been prop erly adjustiil. Thus: Proposal, ac ceptance, tableau, linis. In our case the situation reversed Itself. I had suggested to Veryl, fer vently, of course, that proper economy would sanction the practice of send ing out her wedding invitations and mj' own in the uiie envelopes. With the money saved thereby 1 agreed to purchase outright a ring—a gleaming, glistening affair--with a large single stone. To this day I do not know whether she said yes. I have a vague Impression that she said nothing at all. Presently 1 found myself seated by her side holding her hand, which leads me to suspect that some manner of af firmation m:ist have greeted my pro posal. We were engaged. With that our story starts. Thus: Proposal, ac ceptance, tableau, chapter one. For the next few moments neither of us spoke. We sat gazing into the open tire, cpiiet arid deliriously happy. Think of it—Veryl was mine, my very own! "Of what are you thinking, dear?" said I at length. "I am thinking of our wedding, John. It will be splendid to be married in England." "England?" "Of course," she replied. "Don't you remember? Father Is at Matlock, In Derbyshire. When I lust left him he exacted from me a solemn promise that I should never be married during his lifetime unless in his presence. I know, dear, it means a long trip for both of us and the absence of a great many of your friends from the cere mony. But dad hnH my promise, and It must be kept. Why, John, you are staring lit me as though I had commit ted a crime. Don't don't look at me like that. Are you afraid of the ocean voyage?" "Not that. Veryl. The situation Is worse far worse. My mother is no longer young, and I am the last of "SHE LEFT FOR AMERICA LAST THTRB - the brood. When I told her last night what I expected to say to you she asked me to be married at once. 'Laddie,' she said. '1 am getting old, and before 1 go I want to see you married and settled down. Promise me, son, that you will be married aa soon as possible, so that I can be here to see my boy united to the woman of his choice.' 1 promised." "But your mother can goto Eng land with us, dearest." "Impossible. She has a horror of the ocean that nothing can conquer. Why not bring your father to Aruer lea?" "If I waited for father to come to America to see me married, John, I must die a spinster. The last time we crossed It took him four months to summon up his courage to the point of embarkation. Three times we bought tickets; twice we forfeited our depos its. Once on shore, he assured me that he had suffered his last trip. John, you are such a resourceful, clever fel low that you must devise some way out cif our dilemma." At lirst I suggested to Veryl that half the ceremony be performed at Matlock and that we proceed by dif ferent steamers to America, where the remaining portion might be read. Veryl would have none of it. She bad covenanted to be married in the pres ence of her parent not half married. "And, besides, John." she added re proachfully, "if anything should hap pen to you on the return trip I would be a semiwidow." The lugubrious prospect of semi widowhood invited tears, and I desisted. The plan of marriage by cable, next advanced, met with like discourage ment as being "too much on the order of an international chess tournament." Wireless telegraphy offered some slight prospect of solution, but Veryl retracted on account of Its uncertainty. With the rattle of the first milk wag on 011 tlie street outside and Its remind er that morning had arrived came the scheme that we finally adopted. Veryl was togo to England. I to remain be hind in America. On the 14th day of June at high no m, Greenwich time, she was to stand before tier father In Mat lock and repeat her responses. At the same instant 1 agreed togo through the ceremony at my mother's home in Belmont. That necessitated a slight postponement of our honeymoon and the omission of a bridal procession. Veryl grieved over both features. I shared only half her sorrow. As time went on Veryl became quite reconciled to our marriage plan despite the separation it Involved. She Is a most unconventional little person at all times, and the oddity of the arrange ment doubtless appealed to her strong ly. With me it was otherwise. The glory of our engagement was quite dimmed by the prospect of her depar ture fur the other side. When she sailed on the Ist day of June my grief was abysmal. Mother has since assured me that for three entire days I ate not a morsel of food. My thoughts were with a certain ocean greyhound speed ing over its Atlantic lane, and I read and reread nothing but storm reports and derelict statistics Oue Friday evening I found two small trunks in our front hallway. The maid informed me that they were there jy order of my mother. When she came down for dinner that evening I noted at once an air of suppressed ex citement about her, but I asked no questions. "Son," said she after we had seated ourselves, -, I bought your wedding present today. See?" Imagine my astonishment when she] held out for my inspection passage tickets for Southampton by next day's ■tearner. "But, mother," I protested, "I cannot leave you. I Intend to keep my prom ise. I know I am a seltlsh brute In act ing as I have been doing, but 1 cannot help myself." "Bon," said my mother, "the Rodney la safe in every way. 1 have seen her captain, who is an old friend of your father, and he assures me his boat Is perfectly seaworthy and that a trip at this season of the year is a mere pleas ure Jaunt. Yes, 1 am going with you. We sail tomorrow morning. Don't hug me like that: I go with you on one condition." "And that Is?" "That our departure be kept a secret from Very!. We mußt surprise her." We hatf an uneventful trip. I re member very little of It Some time during the second day we passed a lonely whale. lie excited my sympa thy at the time. Somehow, somewhere, we landed and took trslln for Lon don. We rushed through London In a cab and found ourselves on another train. As near as I can remember we spent four months on that train, though mother says It was nearer five hours. Late that afternoon, she tells me, we reached Matlock. We climbed a long, steep hill and found ourselves in front of n very large and very gloomy hotel, bearing a gilt sign, "The Mat lock Arms." The next scene will abide with me to my dying day. A fat clerk stood In front of us and held out a long pen. "Is Miss Veryl Preston at home?" I asked. "No, sir." "Where is she?" "She left for America last Thursday with the general, her father. She said something about being married over there and planning a surprise for her fiance." • •••••• Yes. we were married, after all. Ve ryl cabled that she was coming back at once after I hud cabled my own whereabouts. She insisted on being married in England. I Insisted on New York. We compromised on New York. Both AaloaUhrd. A boy, apparently a newsboy, with papers under his arm, was standing at Eighth and Market streets when a man hurriedly approached, Blipped a paper from under f he youngster's el bow, tossed a coin at him and then boarded a passing car. Instead of ap pearing pleas«>d at having made a sale the supposed newsboy uttered a yell and started up the street in pursuit of the car, bawling "Stop thief!" at the top of his voice. He caught the car at Ninth street and rushed Inside. "Gim me that!" he demanded, grabbing the paper away from the man who had taken it from him. The boy swung off and walked away before the astonished passenger had re covered his self possession. Then mat ters were reversed, for In his Indigna tion the passenger alighted and started after the boy. The latter made no at tempt to escape. "You young rascal!" exclaimed the excited pursuer, collar ing the lad. "What do you mean by taking that paper away after I bought It?" "Bought nothln'," said the boy de fiantly. "I ain't sellln' papers. You went an' swiped me paper that I put over the boss' pictures to keep 'em clean. L'x>k here!" And he turned the page* back, revealing to the surprised citizen several nice engravings stowed In between the leaves. It developed that the boy worked In an art store and was on the way there with the prints when the hasty Individual mis took him for a newsboy and ran off with about £lO worth of art works.— Philadelphia Record. A Con I For a Word. A poor man may possess h wit bo fine that It Is capable of doing him a great deal of service and then wait a long time before an opportunity comes for him to exercise It profitably. This was the case with an elderly tramp who was once Intrusted, for want of a better messenger, with an errand to the I>uke of Bedford. "Well, you're a queer fellow," said the duke ou Reelng him "What Is your name?" "My name Is Russell, your grace." The duke laughed heartily, for his own name was Russell. "And how about your coat of arms?" asked the duke "la that the same as the Duke of Bedford's?" "Ah, your grace," said the man, "our arms may be much the same. but I fancy there's a slight difference In cur coats!" As this fact wu only teo apparent, the duke sent for a good coat of his own and jrave it to the man. THE FORCE OF FEAR. Prlßht U M the ('■■ar of the Death of Frederick I.of ProuU. There are several well authenticated cases where fright was the cause of death. An English surgeon tells of a drummer In India across whose legs a harmless lizard crawled while he was half asleep. He was sure that a cobra had bitten him, and It was too much for his nerves, and he died. Frederick I.of I'rusala was killed by fear. His wife was Insane, and one day she escaped from her keeper and, dabbling her clothes wtth blood, rushed upon her husband white he was dozing In bis chair. Klug Frederick Imagined her to bo the white lady whose ghost was believed to invariably appear whenever the death of a member of the royal family was to occur, and be Was thrown Into a fover and died In six weeks. But perhaps the most rem«rkable death from fear was that of the Dutch painter Pentman, who lived In the sev enteenth century. One day he went In to a room full of anatomical subjects to sketch some skulls and bones for a picture be Intended to paint. The weather was very sultry, and while sketching he fell asleep. He was arousal by bones dancing around him and the skeletons suspended from the ceiling clashing together. In a fit of horror lie threw himself out of the window. Though he sustained no seri ous Injury and was Informed that a slight earthquake had caused the com motion among the ghostly surround fags, he died of nervous tremor. .lot a Bit l.lka ■ Cat.

Few men know how to take a walk. The qualifications of a professor are endurance, plain clothes, old shoes, an eye for nature, good humor, vast rt*i oslty, good (speech, good silence and nothing toe much. If a man tells me that he has an Intense love of nature, I know, of course, that he has none. Good observers have tlie manners of trees and animals, their patient good sense, and if they add words 'tis only when words are better than silence. But a loud singer or a story teller or a vain talker profanes the river and the forest and 1.4 nothing like so good com pany as a dog. When Nero advertised for a new lux ury a walk in the woods should have been offered. 'Tls one of the secrets for dodging old age, for nature makes a like impression on age as on youth. Then I recommend It to people who are growing old against their will. A man in that predicament, if he stands before a mirror or among young peo ple, is made quite too sensible of the fact, but the forest awakes in him the same feeling it did when he was a boy, and he may draw a moral from the fact that 'tis the old trees that have all the beauty and grandeur. I admire the taste which makes the avenue lo a house, were the house never so small, through a wood; besides the beauty, It has a positive effect on manners, as it disposes the mind of the inhabitant and of his guests to the deference due to each. Some English reformers thought the cattle made all this wide space necessary between house and house and that if there were no cows to pasture less land would suffice. But a cow does not need so much land as the owner's eyes require between him and his neighbor. Ralph Waldo Em erson in Atlantic. THE WREN BUSH. An Old Ciitttom Still Ohe»erve*l In Ireland nt I'hrlxtmua. Among th" many odd customs still observed in Ireland at Christmas feu are more curious than the practice of carrying about "the wren bush" on St. Stephen's day, and antiquaries are puz zled tj explain why the poor little "king of all birds" should be put to death on the festival of tiie first mar tyr. The most probable explanation Is that the wren was sacred to the Druids and was used by them in divination and other pagan rites at the festival of the winter solstice, which almost coin cided with Christmas, and consequent ly the clergy urged their converts to destroy the birds which were associat ed with such unholy rites, just as St. Patrick's relentless destruction of tiie images of serpents, used in the ancient pagan worship of Ireland, gave rise to the legend that he- Gave the snakes and toads a twist And banished them all forever!

In the iiiterglacial or postgla cial i eriod the remains of man and the horse are tirst found together. The tir t association occurs In the middle of the paleolithic or rough Implement period. The discovery of all the possi ble uses of the horse came very gradu ally, however, fur there is abundant proof that man tirst hunted and ate, then drove and finally rode the ani mal. The prevailing drawings of the pa leolithic horse represent him as hog uianed, with no forelock to conceal the low bred Roman nose. A second type in the > I outhe cave, a bearded horse with long, bristling mane, long ears and convex forehead, is regarded by M. Riviere as another species. But It is not clear to my mind that these drawings represent more than the summer and winter coats of the same animal. Resides these Roman nosed types, to which Ewart traces the mod ern cart horse, there are others with small heads and flat noses, which Ewart associates with the (Celtic pony and possibly with the origin of the thoroughbred.

It is also certain from abundant evidence in the caves of France that there was a larger horse toward the south perhaps, while the smaller breeds may have frequented the colder northern regions.—-Century.
