A k>ng line was extending back from the door, expectant, impatient, though the visitors' gallery would not be open to the public until 12 She drew from her belt the one remaining link of fosmer opulence. It still lacked ten minutes, and she slipped the watch back with a scarcely breathed sigh. Why had she come here at all, she thought accusingly? She would be bet ter visiting the stores in search of a position as clerk; there were surely some business houses she had not yet been In. And and besides— Her eyes \\ ere brighter, and a Hush came and descended to her lips in a soft, evanescent smile that was more like the smile of the old days liefore the wistfulness came. She had been standing at the post office door, and he had looked precisely as he had that day when he parted from them in the Arizona canyon, he a penniless prospector and her father an extensive mine owner. And he had not forgotten. Even before she saw him he had sprung from a carr<#gc, with out regurd to his horses, and was coin ing up the postofflce steps with out stretched hands. "Good heavens: You here, Muriel— Miss Ashburton," he had cried, with a gladness in his voice which he did not attempt to conceal and which brought an answering color to her face and light to her eyes. There had been nothing between them except a look and hand pressure, but she had often thought of him in these later dreary years and was glad to know he had remembered her. "1 looked for you everywhere everywhere," he had con tinued, "but without a clew. I was afraid you had gone from my life. But pardon me; we cannot talk here, and I have a great deal to say. May I call on you at once-- this evening < Is your father here?" "My father Is dead," she had man aged to say. Her brain had been In a whirl, her heart In ft tumult. What did it all mean? What was this Im petuous madman saying, implying? By a strong effort she had controlled her self. "Yes, you may call," she had an swered Inn low voice, "i—l will be glad to see you." And she had given him the number of the house in which she rented one small room. "Thank you. I will be there early. I would nsk togo back with you now, but I have an appointment which Is already overdue. Isn't it providential, though, this meeting? I have lieen In Washington only three days, and to turn up against you like this!" "Have you employment here?" she had asked for want of something bet ter to say. "Yea, temporarily; n Job in the sen ate chamber. You remember I was a Jack of all trades, from a farm boy to an Impecunious pros|>ector, with occa sional dabs at fresco painting and Jour nalism to help me through college. But I will not detain you here In the wind any longer." She had watched him spring into the carriage and drive away, nn odd light in her eyes and a warm color In her cheeks. As she went down the side walk she laughed softly. Eight years before she would not have been like this. Evidently he was without any regular employment. Just doing some temporary work in the senate chamber —fresco painting probably, for ho had spoken of being familiar with that. At first, from his being in the carriage holding the horses, she had thought he might be a coachman, waiting for his employer's return. But, after all, what did It matter? Coachman or painter or impecunious prospector, he was warm hearted and honest and ambitious. She could read that In his eyes and in the strong, full grasp of his hands. And he had remembered her and and cared for her. It was beautiful to know that In the hurrj'ing, Indifferent world there was one who still thought of her and cared for her a Jlttle. The manner or lacu or employment was such a small matter compared with that. Knowl edge of life soon leveled such petty dis tinctions Almost unconsciously her steps had turned toward the capltol. The only alternative seemed a continuation of her search for employment, and, some how, she shrank from that just now, •veu though she had been restricting herself to a single meal a day for a week. She would celebrate the finding of a friend. It was openlug day at the •enate chainl>er and would be unusual ly Interesting, and perhaps she might •ee this friend himself or some of the work he had been doing. There was a sudden stir In the line ahead of her, and she felt herself being pushed forward. The door was open at last, and foot by foot, yard by yard, she was !>eing impelled toward It. But when sin* entered every seat was taken, and she could only crowd herself Into the narrow space behind the last row She could see the chaplain and a few of the senators on the far side of the chamlter and upon the few desks In sight a gorgeous display of flowers. Presently she heard the opening prayer and bowed her head. Then there was a confusion of voices, with quick, crisp sentences from one desk and another, followed by a short recess In which there was a great shaking of hands and Introductions among the senators At the end of fifteen or twen ty ininatea some of those in the vis itors' gallery began to rise and leave. 71>ey had witnessed the opening and were now going homo to luneh. Soon she was able to step down to a vacant seat in one of the front rows. She had now a g<nwl view of the chamber, and her gaze swept curiously from d« sk to desk. Many of the sen ators she recognized from pictures she had seen In current periodicals. Sud denly she started and half arose. She had not thought to see him down there; If she met him at all It would be In one of flic corridors, and probably at work. But there he was, at one of the desks, examining some papers. What did it mean? lb 1 had no right to be in there now. while the senate was in session An hom later she descended to the next floor, --till dazed and wondering As she left the elevator she met him face to face "What! you here, Muriel Miss Ash burton?" he cried. "This is splendid! Now we can have that talk without waiting until evening. I know a cozy little table down in n corner of the cafe where we can 1m- all by ourselves. We will talk while we eat our lunch. Come." She was looking at him with wide eyes. "Why were you in there, at a desk?" Khe demanded. "In the senate chamber? Oh, that's my joh. You set*, when 1 left you that day I went straight to one of the new ! towns and opened a law office. My father was a lawyer, and I had studied with him. Somehow the people seemed to like my ways, and last year they hatched up a plot to send me here. But come, we can talk better at the table. I have a proposition for your considera tion, and," his voice suddenly becom ing grave, "I hope you will be able to see your way to accede to it- Come.

It was back in Cleopatra's time that the corset was tirst thought of. Who knows but perhaps the dusky beauty of the Nile thought to hold Mark An tony's tickle fancy longer could she add some new charm to her face or figure? Anyway, It was then that the em bryo corset first appeared in the shape of a stiffened linen girdle called n "zora." Sometimes It was worn out side the tunic, tightly laced and much Jeweled Then fashion wearied of the "zora," and for twelve centuries the corset languished. The Greeks and Romans next held sway, and beauty unadorned was good enough for them. In the sixteenth century along came Catherine de Medici, that energetic lady who meddled in everything, from empires to hairpins, and she revived the corset with a vengeance. She not only wore it herself, but also issued an edict that all women of birth and breeding should wear corsets which should reduce their waist meas ures to thirteen inches. This corset was called a "corps" and was stiffened In every possible man ner. In this the body was pinched and forced, while over the "corps" was clasped a perfectly fitting corset cover, constructed of thin plates of steel, fashioned in two pieces and opening on a hinge. This instrument of torture lasted un til the early part of the seventeenth century, when more pliable materials were adopted. Beautifully quilted satin l>odices re placed Catherine's invention. The next change in the corset's his tory took place in the early part of the eighteenth century, when leather stiffened with whalebone came Into use. Since then it has gone on steadily improving until today for every type of woman there is a specially adapted corset.—New York American. SOURCES OF COLORS. Blue black is the charcoal of the vine stalk. Raw sienna is the natural earth near Sienna, Italy. Ivory chips produce the ivory black and bone black. Turkey red is the madder plant, which grows In Hindustan. Prussian blue Is made with impure potassium carbonate. This most useful discovery was accidental. Cochineal Insects furnish many of our most gorgeous colors-—carmine, scarlet, crimson and purple. India ink is made from burned cam phor. The Chinese are the only manu facturers of this and will not reveal its secret. Cuttlefish give us sepia, which is nothing more nor less than the inky fluid which the fish discharges to ren der the water black when It is at tacked. Oe«-y Drinking. In a German university the man who can drink a quart of beer without tak ing breath is not a hero, but only an ordinary student, says a writer In the London Chronicle. At tbe German knelpe, or club meeting for the drink ing of beer and the singing of students' songs, there Is a special challenge to a bier konig (beer king) contest. The huge pots are tilled, the duelists face each other and at the word of com mand they drink. The first who can Invert an empty pot and sputter "bier konlg" wins. Drinking without going to the trou ble of swallowing is thus described by the same writer: "This form of friend ly duel has evolved a method of drink ing that may be seen In Egypt, where a native seems to pour water down his throat without that sort of lock sys tem our less educated canals demand. A German student will bring pot and mouth to the intimate aiiKie, and down goes the beer without a tremor of the throat. Tills, of course, gives no pleas ure, but to the wondering onlooker it is merely an acrobatic feat." riahermrn'i Patron Saint. St. Peter, of course, is the fisherman; but anglers may find a saint of their own in St. Zeno, who is commemorated on April 12 Verona's patron saint is conventionally represented holding a fishing rod, with a fish at the end of the line, the reference being to the tra dition that he used to enjoy fishing in the Adige during his episcopate. lie must have commanded go >d sport If he exercised as much control over that river In life as he is said to have done two centuries after his death.

Young birds should never be taken from the nest unless one knows much about their feeding habits In captivity, and once taken and reared it is noth ing short of cruelty to set them free again. For while in captivity many kinds of birds can be made perfectly happy, yet they will never have learn ed to find their own food, and if given their freedom the following fall or spring they will perish miserably. Cedar birds, vlreos and warblers are very difficult to raise and should never be taken from the nest, but a song sparrow, robin, thrush or sparrow hawk, if well cared for, will become tame and !f given the run of an entire room will furnish unending amuse ment.—C.

Fontaine, "palmist and card reader," [ was overcast. Even the Invitingly clean little room where madame re ceived the anxious seekers after wis dom shared in the pervading gloom. A crudely drawn hand covered with cabalistic signs had become detached from thu wall and lay unheeded In one corner; the cards by whose aid coming events were evoked were pushed care lessly aside. It was evident that mis fortune had fallen upon this faithful priestess of j Nora Mi-fa be had always been a wonder at "euttin' the cards," and it was when Pat McCabe died (an event j which the cards neglected to mention), i leaving her with live little children, i that Mine. Fontaine had sprung into existence. Having an average amount of quick Irish wit and more than au average understanding of human na ture, Nora had prospered and as Mine. Fontaine she avoided tragedy and dealt mostly in romantic and glowing generalities. But of late the fates had not shown madame the consideration due so faith ful a follower. There had been a fail ing off in the number of people who came to explore the misty paths of the future under her expert guidance. Four of the children were too young to do much besides consume unlimited supplies of bread and butter, and the day before Jimmy, the eldest, had been brought home with a broken leg. In short, the outlook was serious. "Though it isn't always ye cau ex pect to be havln* the luck," sighed Nora, stooping to pick up the hand thnt pointed a mutely protesting finger at her from tlie corner. Quite unconscious of the radiant pic ture she made against her dull sur rounding, a girl, tall, graceful, tailor made, came swiftly along the shabby street. If her courage almost failed her, she made no sign ns she walked steadily on. All the girls had been to Mine. Fontaine. Had she not told Mar garet Doane that she would be married within a year, and was not Margaret even now 011 her wedding journey ? To be sure, she had told Louise Henderson the same tiling, and there was not even an admirer in Lou's horizon; but, then, every one makes mistakes sometimes, and Louise always was hopeless. She did not really believe in it. <>h, dear, no! But she did so want to know if John really were very angry. He might have known she did not care for that stupid Captain Carstalr* With flushed face and trembling but determined fingers she pressed the but ton under the card bearing the legend "Mme. Fontaine" and soon stood quak ing inwardly, but outwardly serene, before the door of the modest little fiat. Eleanor Robinson was called the prettiest girl in the Westchester set. and more critical eyes than madame's would have brightened at the radiant vision she made as she entered the lit tle room and with shining eyes bent eagerly forward over the well known table upon which madame's experi enced fingers bad already placed the queen of diamonds. "That's yerself," explained the wo man as she deftly slnitfied the cards, "and this," laying a heart above it, "is good luck to yerself an' yer wish, an' here's an offer, an' a foine offer it Is, with money too. It looks like a mar riage offer, an' 'tis from"— But whom it was from must forever remain a mystery, for a shrill voice from the next room called madame, and In her anxious haste Nora overturned the lit tle table, and the fortunes of the queen of diamonds came to an ignominious ending on the floor. "I'm that worried I don't know what I'm doin'," said madame as she came back, and, half crying, stooped to pick up the cards. "My Jimmy has his leg broke, an' him gettin' along so nice an' Mr. Chetwood savin' his wages should be raised this Saturday comln'." "Mr. Chetwood:". interrupted the girl in a strained voice. And maaame's keen eyes noted the warm wave of color that flooded her face. "Yes, miss," she returned, "Mr. Chet wood. the lawyer. It was a foine pi: for Jimmy, an' him llkin' it an' gettin' Into Mr. Chetwood's ways. An' now his leg's broke, an' no knowln' when he'll git another place," she added de jectedly, and in spite of herself a tear splashed on the recovered queen. The girl rose. "I don't believe I care to have my fortune told today," she said nervously. "I—l've changed my mind, but I shall come to see you again," she said, her blue eyes sweet with sympathy. She took a bill from her bag and laid it on the tattle. "Take these, too, for Jimmy," she said, loosening the violets from her furs. And with a smile and a quick lit tle nod she was gone. It was hours later that a tall, broad shouldered man knocked at madame's door and Inquired for Jimmy McCabe. A few minutes later John Chetwood was holding Jimmy's grimy little hand and smiling down 011 the little freckled face that grinned back at him sheep ishly. "We cannot do without Jimmy, Mrs. McCabe," lie said pleasantly, "s<> 1 shall depend ou you to send him back as soon as possible." He took some bills from his pocket and continued: "1 want you to take good care of him. No! No! That's all right!" as she tried to thank him. "You may pay it back when Jimmy wins his first ease, or you might tell my fortune." He laughed good huinorediy, looking quizzically at the weird hands decorating the little room beyond. Madame gasped. Her warm Irish heart was full of gratitude to the two who had been so good to her. If only she could do s imething for them! He watched her with amused Inter est is she slowly spread out the cards on the little table. "Ye have success to yerself an' yer wish," she began In the time worn formula, "an" there's a light woman, the queen nf diamonds," she added, her eyes fastened on the cards. John Chetwood threw back his head and laughed delightedly. "I thought It was always a dark woman," he said. "She's tall almost as ye 1 if," Nora went on, "an' it's like one of the saints she is, with her sweet face an' eyes as blue as as the violets," she continued. The quick si art of surprise John Chet wood gave did not escape madame's shrewd eyes, and she went ou rapidly: "She loves ye there's somethin* come between ye but slip loves ye. Never mi.id what's been, say I goto her; site's waitin' for ye. I see the weddln' card." John Chetwood rose abruptly. "That's a great fortune. We'll have to look Into that, Mr. Jimmy."he said, but his laughter was forced, arid the lines on his face deepened ns he ran lightly flown the stairs. He hesitated outside the shabby lit tle flat. She lived to the north. A few blocks to the west his friends were watting for hlin. lie had tried to keep away from her. It was evident she cared for C'arstalrs, and he would keep bis disappointment to himself and let no knowledge of it shadow her. What could that woman know about It? Nothing! Queer, though, about the vlo lets No; of course he didn't believe It, but he squared his shoulders and turn • ed to the north. 11 11 ii < Inu Koim With The hunting of foxes with eagles takes place among the Klrghese In the southwest district of Siberia in the au tiiimi and early winter, when the fox es' coats are ruddy and perfect.
