LITTLE LANTERNS qf THE SOUL By SIDNEY H COLE t'opyrluht. 11*15, by T. t". McClure In the library of the villa the two men faced each other. The little red shaded lamp dimly lighted die big, lux urlous room. Outside the last traces of the soft Italian twilight were fading In the west, and the first of the myriad Mars were blinking, uncertain yellow dots In the blue velvet sky. Orne senior lifted his piercing black eyes and looked at his son searchlngly. "You're a common ne'er do well," ho burst out, "a gambler, a loafer, a rabe. You squander a fortune nt the gaming tubles and come whining to me for more money to lose Oct your money where you lost It. I'm through with you." Young Orne drew himself up. "Fa ther"— he began. "I'm don« with you," the older man thundered. "I wash my hands of you. As God Is my Judge, I'll cut you off without a cent. Oo out Into the world and stand on your own feet or sink Into the mire of ruin you've been delv ing in. It's all one to me." Young Orne strode silently to the door, turned, hesitated, then hurried through the hall Into the soft night without. The last streak of red was gone from the west. Far below him at the foot of the slope the little village was agleum with lights. lie noticed that even In tho trees tiny luminous pin points of light shone steadily. Then he remembered that It was St. John's eve and that the lights were a part of the flesta. He descended the steps and strode across the terraces and through the villa gardens. As he eame to a group of olive trees Just beyond the sundial he saw dimly a girlish figure standing beneath one of the trees. There was the runp of a match, a tiny Chinese lantern was lighted, and In Its mellow glow he saw plainly the girl's upturned fa<-o as she reached up to fasten the lantern to a low hanging branch. It was Ethelvn Hope, the daughter of his father's oldest friend, who had made her home with the Omes since her par ents' death. That was years back, when Ethelyn was a little girl In frfH-ks. Now she was eighteen, tall, graceful and sweet alike In feature and in temper. Young Ome came Into »he little circle of light cast by the lantern. There was an old stone seat beneath that particu lar olive tree, and he wank Into It. "Celebrating?" he asked. "Yes," she said, pointing to the lan tern. "It Is a little lantern of the Soul." "A what?" he ask«-d In laughing per plexity. "A little lantern of the soul," she re peated. "You bang them on olive trees •nd say little prayera for the souls they represent. I heard Fletro and the cook talking about them today. I made them cxplnln." "I see," said he. "Who's soul Is this?" And he pointed to the lantern. "I haven't decided as yet," she said, and added quickly, "I think it will bo yours." "By all means let It ho so," he ac qulesc»»d "Heaven knows I'm sadly In need of pious prayers Just now." "Are you In trouble?" she asked. "Have you and Uncle Orne been quar reling again?" He smiled with Ironic bitterness. "Ob, there's been a slight titf!" he said easily. "That Is bad," she said, with ready sympathy "It ended by—by—well, to uso bold words, by his kicking me out," said he. Her face became serious. "He didn't really mean It, of course. He'll bo sor ry before morning " "I hope so," he said. "You can let me know if he Is," he ended lightly. "I let you know?" she said, frightened by his tone. "You're not -not really going?" Orne's face darkened. All the ran kltng bitterness his father's words had Inspired was upon him aguln. "I may bo all he called me nnd more," he said, with an ominous cnlm nerM, "but I still have some pride loft. I have to be shown the door but oneo." Tho girl's hands trembled violently as she leaned against the olive tree. Onto, with Lis head bowed sullenly, did not notice this. When he raised his eyes she was still leaning against the tre«\ He saw n strange new light in her eyes, and all at once be reullzed that sho was no longer a child, but a woman and tliat her woman's heart was his. The fact that there was love In his own heart was as much of a shuck to him as the discovery of this answering love In hers. 110 could have cried out with the Joy and pain of it He roso to his feet pale nnd shaken. "I must be going," ho said roughly. "Going?" she asked blankly. "Going where 7' He laughed hnrshly "I've ill the world to choose from."he said bitterly He drew her gently to him. For one moment her head rcsti-d on bis shoul } der and her soft brown hair brushed his cheek. *•••••• Orne senior had long entertained nn Idea It was that Some day Ills son would steady down and marry Ethelyn. But, being a wise old man and know ing too well the dangers of match making, lie said nothing of this either to his son or hts ward. Now as he sat In tho library after the stormy inter view with his son he felt that his hopes had rocetved their deathblow. For a long tlmo he sat by the red shaded lamp, pondering deeply. Then he n«e and went Into the gardens. Hp walked rapidly up and down th» terraces for a time, his head bared to the warm light air. lie saw the light In tho olive tree and went down the path to Investigate. As he neared the tree be caught the sound of a woman's spas modic sobs He stopped and peered through the darkness What he saw beneath the olive tree lifted a great weight from his heart nnd brought n grim smile to his lips "No, no," the girl wns saving wildly, "I cannot let you go.it will break my heart" Ills son's voice answered soothingly: "It Is best that I should go, dear. It won't be for long at the most I'll j prove I'm worthy of you, nnd then I'll come bock to claim you." "Optimistic young Idiot"' muttered Oriw senior as he strode Into the circle .of din. ght. Ethelyn gave a little star tled ery, and Orne Junior glared at him savagely "It isoems," said Orne senior, with Icy | ■composure, "that you haven't made trouble enough, but must needs add this Lothario business to your already large repertory of transgressions." Young 01 ne's face went black His fists clinched For a moment it look ed as if he would strike the elder man. Then with an effort he controlled hlin- "Say what you like about my other affairs, but kimlly leave this to me," he said In voice hoarse with anger. "You're not worthy to worship the ground she treads on," said the elder j Orne. "Good God, don't I know that!" said his son. He turned on his heel. "Hold on. Sir Touchstone!" said his father. "Walt a minute, can't you?" Young Orne turned. "Well?" he chal -1 lenged. A rare smile curved the mouth of the elder Orne. "Your spirit In this thing Is all very line," h<> said grimly, "but you'll very likely And the world a tougher propo sition than you imagine, especially if you assail it penniless. I said I'd cut you off without a cent, and I will." The harsh voice softened wonderfully. "I'll give It to Ethelyn Instead " lie shuffled up the path toward the j villa and left them there in amazed silence. A gust of wind rattled the gray olive i leaves. The little lantern swayed dnn | gerously. Its paper cover caught lire | from the fluttering candle. There was a momentary flash of flame, then dark ness "Your little lantern of the soul has 1 gone out," she said j "Anyway, it stood no show with the greater light we have found," he re | piled A 111 l of Nupcrntllloii, "I've heard tales of superstitions women," said the very obliging youug man to the Philadelphia Record, "but a woman who lives In our neighborhood has them all beaten.

She wan on the pavement al most crying when I came along Nat urally I offered to assist by ellrnblng In a window.

Wo at Time* (or ton* Thln^a Without Looking For Them. Few people are aware, says Fred W. Saxby In tho Strand Magazine, that we are all constantly "collecting" curi ous things without looking for them: In the very act of looking up at the fleeting spectacle of a fiery orb the reader with the big, wide open eyes may easily receive In one of his own orbs a tiny F„>here from afar that was produced in a glowing streak of light like tho one he Is admiring. Meteoric dust Is ever falling and up on nil parts of our planet. The little spheres have been found upon the decks of ships far out at sea, In all the deserts of the earth nnd on the tops of snow clad mountains. I>redg lngs brought up from the silent depths of the ocean give testimony of their universal presence. The particles nil contain Iron and aro easily collected by the magnet from tho roof of any outhouse or other place exposed di rectly to the sky. Seafarers are sometimes pelted with dust of quite n different kind, compos ed of the microscopic flinty skeletons of beautiful plants called "diatoms." These tiny plants live In both salt aud froah water and occur In enor mous numbers In some localities. Oc casionally water courses and inundat ed areas dry up, and the flinty shells of the diatoms which grew there are blown about as dust. There are sev eral Instances on record of dlatoina ceous dust falls nt sea. During tho thickest part of the fall the sailors have experienced much pain In their eyes, the Inflammation being caused by the little flinty shells. SECRETARY SEWARD.

The Importance of Secretary Sew ard's Influence la the domestic affairs of the United States during Johnson's administration has probably been ex aggerate, but it would bo hard to ex aggerate tho Importance of what ho achieved nnd of what he Initiated In his own proper field of diplomacy. Ills chief, occupied as he was with fierce controversies over other subjects, found, wo may well suppose, but llttlo time for foreign relations. Ho does not appear to have lntci-fered with policies which were already adopted or to have Initiated any new policies of his own. Reward must therefore be held respon sible ton degree somewhat unusual for the conduct of the delicate negotia tions. Involving very far reaching con sequences, which the war gave rise to. It was ho who first presented America to Europe In that attitude of conscious strength which the thorough establish rnent of our nationality at last enabled us to take. It was ho who reasserted effectively, yet without any arrogance, our traditional stand In reference to the Lntln republics to the south of us. It was he who, facing westward, ac complished an expansion of our sys tem Into a region never contemplated until his day by those who guided our di-stlnles and turned our thoughts up on the shores of the I'nclfle as a field for American trade and American In fluenco.

Afi < lure jij "Two hundred thirty four J don't an swer," said central, ringing off, but be fore slio could lean back for an In •bint's breathing spell 710 M called her tip again. "Central, why can't I get my house?" "I'm sure I don't know," she answer ed, with a suspicion of laughter In her 1 voice. "I'll bet those confounded servants are gossiping down In the basement. Itlng 'em again, and ring 'em like thunder." Central obeyed his orders energetical ly, but without results. "I can't get any answer," she said gently to the irate man at tho other end of the line, "but I'll try them ugaln In a few minutes, and If I get an an swer I'll call you up. No, 1 won't for get," she said, almost before the man had uttered his warning. "I know you call the house every morning from your office." "Thank you," said the man, much niollliled. "Those servants are so care less, and my niece, who looks after tho j children, is confined to her room by Illness." Cirelevllle's telephone system was not very complicated. The three girls who presided In the central otllec wero not kept occupied as In a larger city I because this was a new Institution In the pretty Inland city and subscribers were not coming In fast enough to sat isfy the telephone company. Only one of the girls hailed from Clrclevllle. Tho other two were from Chicago, and It was Margaret Baxter, one of tho Chicago girls, who had answered Mr. Dickson's Imperative calls. For the nest few minutes she was kept busy plugging In and out ou her board. I!ut nil the time a queer littlo smile hovered about her lips and a light almost tender shone In her eyes. "It would be very funny," she said to herself, "If It should all be straight ened out by telephone, and I would not be at nil surprised 11' that Is just what Jack hoped for." Then she turn ed suddenly and rung up 2.'t4 J. A rather thick voice with a distinct brogue answered this call with a sul len "Hello." Margaret's face turned grave and firm lines showed about her mouth. "Why has no one answered the tele phone?" she said rather sternly. "I have been ringing you on and off for fifteen minutes." "Sure I've somethln' to do beside runnlu' up them stairs to answer this bell. It's a wonder a woman can't eat her breakfast In peace." Margaret connected 234 J with 710 M, sighing softly to herself, "Poor Charley and his babies at the mercy of that woman." The conversation at the wire claim ed her attention. There were reasons why she felt she bad a right to listen. "Hello, Mary, Is this you?" "Yes, sir." "How Is Master Reginald?" "Fine, sir." "What did he eat for his breakfast?" "A peach, a bowl of rice and milk and flvo cakes." "Now, Mary, I've told you related* ly not to let him have hot cakes." "Then, sir, you'il have to stay at home and keep him from it. It's a cook I arn and no nurse." "Well, well," said the man anxious ly, as one who realized he was In a predicament and needed the good will of every one. "I'm sure while Miss Ellen Is sick you will look after the children, and I will not forget It when I pay you next week." This bit of diplomacy elicited no reply from tho other end of the wire. "Has Miss Bessie gono to school?" "She has not. Sure tho string's ofT her hood and one of her rubbers Is lost entirely, and I told her she'd best stay home till her Aunt Ellen could get about." "Dear, dear," said the man, ond a prodlglo'is sigh seemed to choke his utterance. "Is that all, sir?" said the woman Impatiently "I guess so," he replied reluctantly and hung up his receiver At b«T end of the wire the woman slammed up the frcelver with n crush which mnde central (lush lust a bit nngrlly. Clump, cluinp, clump, sh© went down tho basement stalrwny to meet n look of Inquiry on the fnco of her husbnnd, gardener and man of nil work for Henry Dickson, president of the Excelsior Hardware company. "Sure, It's the same old thing," sho said snappishly as she tossed the soap Into the dish pan. "Frettln' his soul out about thoso two children. It's no place for me nnd you, Tim. Either tho old man or the young un ought to marry. What with church and par thles and a lly be night nature Into tho bnrgnln, Miss Ellen's no Rood at all, at all. When she's In the house she's In bed, nnd when she's not In bed she's out of the house." Tim shook his head and marched out to the stable, nnd Mary turned to face a shrinking little figure In the door* way. "I want to sit behind the stove, Mary. There's no fire In the library, and TIE cold nil over." "I'll bet the young un's gotn' to sick," said Mary as sho mado room for tho child on the wood box behind tho stove. "She ought to had on h«r warm flannels last week Pit there, dear, whilst I tell you about the fairies Pad dy O'Glyn met on his way to Donegal fair." The man at the other end of fhe line had been leaning bark In a chair, star ing up at the celling Finally he called his stenographer and dictated a letter. It was addressed to Charles Dickson and wound up as follows: "While you're In Chicago 1 wish you would stop into see your aunt Mary Graves. Things are not going right at the house, I fear Ellen Is too frivolous and fond of society to do what Is en tirely right by us and the children. Your aunt Mary Is a capable woman nnd would pull things together In less than no time." But even with the letter started on Its way Mr. Dickson felt uneasy. Aunt Mary was capable, but was she sym pathetic enough to deal with those children? He recalled the ;r -n11«• ways and the fair face of the dea lighter In-law He wished soinehov. qf r Mary would wavo her lialr abor.i her face nnd smile once In awhile lt.it he was better than the more uncertain element he had dreaded a stepmother for his beloved grandchildren. And all the time Margaret Baxter sat in front of the switchboard, plugging the jacks and thinking. Just before- he closed up his desk togo home Mr. Dickson w s surprised to catch her voice with a new, almost friendly ac "Is this Mr. Dickson?" "Yes," "Shall I call Mary and toll her to ha\o the children come down to meet you ?" Mr. Dickson lived some distance be yond the street car terminus, oud Tim always drove down In the runabout to meet him. It never struck him as odd that the telephone girl knew of his daily habit. Perhaps she lived in the neighborhood. He answered in a re lieved tone. "Yes; I'd forgotten to eall her." "And if you didn't call her she wouldn't remember, would she?" "No, no," agreed the man) "these servants are a great trial." Then as central rnng off he murmured to him self: "There's a girl who will make a flno business woman some day I would not mind having her In my office." And, though he could never tell Just how It happened, from that time on It was central who had the trying conver sation with Mary until Miss Ellen got about, and aft<*r that with Miss Ellen herself, merely giving him a condensed report of the conversation. This saved his time, which was valuable, and it pleased his fancy that some one appre ciated his absorbing Interest in the children. That was why he had a bouquet of flowers sent up to the telephono ex change one day and a box of candy an other. Several times lie wns tempted to call In person, but ho finally decided that seeing the girl face to face might prove a disillusion. Faces and voices do not always harmonize, and yet he thought of the great relief It was to re ceive messages from central Instead of Irate Mary or butterfly Ellen. He felt sure that this particular voice stood for a face fair and womanly. Then ho would recall a recent letter from his son, Aunt Mary would come for—a con sideration. Rut finally an Inspiration came to him. Reggie was having a birthday. Ellen, with characteristic heedlessness, had forgotten this Important event and had arranged to Join n house party for the very night. Itut this should not stand In the way of a proper observ ance of the occasion. Heggle should have a birthday spree, and the guest of honor should be this central girl, with whom the two children had held many little talks across the wire. She accepted the Invitation sent In Reggie's name. She rode out in tho runabout driven by the suspicious Tim, who had made unpleasant remarks to his wife about old fools and pretty girls. And she Anally entered tho door opened by Mr. Dickson himself. He gave a sigh of relief, which was drowned In the tumultuous greetings of the children. She was Just what ho had dreamed of, but what he had not dared to hope for. They had a merry evening, and when the two children were sitting down, one on either side of her, to hear what Reggie describe! as corking goblin storh-s, the sound of a latchkey fell uiH>n Mr. Dickson's ear. He rose uncertainly; so did Margaret Raxter, and so did the two children. And that was the scene upon which en tered Charles Dickson, general repre sentative for the Excelsior Hardware company, Ju4 returned from a hard trip on the road. He looked at his fa ther, who (lushed. He looked at Mar garet Raxter, who smiled. He locked at the two children, who shrieked si multaneously and made a rush at him. When he hud escaped fruni their embraces Ills father started to make thi' necessary Introduction, but the younger man waved him aside. "I have known Margaret for wimo time in fact, long before you knew her When the children have finished their 1 rollc and p>ne to t>ea I—Well,1 —Well, we will explain this matter to you." Mr Sr., looked from his son's dancing eyes to Margaret Mas ter's flushed face and remarked dryly: "It won't he necessary. And while Miss Baxter Is finishing that goblin story you had better telegraph to Aunt Mary Tell her she need not come. We've changed our minds." AH llfi|n«Hited.

Early writei on natural history sub jects make mention of many strange creatures that never could have exist ed u\e in the superstitious mind of the age in which tliej wrote, and of the many that did e>. ; st the accounts of their structure and habits are so ludicrous that one may really wonder if it W.ls pos- ilile, even in the middle ages, that people could be so credulous. Many of these strangely garbled rec or Is of the animal world were, no doul t, due to travelers' tales and prob ably had a certain foundation in fact, but It is difficult Indeed to account for the creation of such things as the phoe nix. the cockatrice, the wyvern, the grillin and tin dragon. The belief In the existence of the unicorn may have originated from the fact of some of the early African travelers meeting with certain antelopes that had lost a horn, foi i! is a peculiarity with most ante lopes that their horns are never shed and if injured or broken never grow again. The horn, growing out of the fore head, betwixt the eyelids, is neither light nor hollow nor yet smooth like other horns, imt hard as Iron, rough as any file, revolved into many plights; sharper than any dart, straight and not crooked and everywhere black, ex cept at the point. Rartholomew asserted that there were many varieties of unicorn, and this would he feasible If this creature had been created from those horned beasts that had accidentally lost one of the horns. llow the phoenix was called into be ing it would be impossible to hazard a guess. It was popularly supposed that there was only one such creature exist ing in the whole universe and that there was only one tree In which it built its nest. We find mention of tho phoenix as far hack as lilny, who says, "Howbelt, I cannot tell what to make of him; and, first of all, whether it lie a tale or no, that is never but ono of them In the whole world, and the same not commonly seen." In the fifteenth century we find Rar tholomew writing of this Imaginary bird: "Phoenix is a large bird, and there is but one that kind in all tho wide world, therefore lewd men wonder thereof. I'hoenlx is a bird without make (mate) and 11 veth It* mi or 500 years. When the which years he passed she fceleth her default and feebleness and maketb a nest of sweet smelling sticks that be full dry, and in summer when the western wind bloweth the sticks and them st be set on lire with burning heat of the sun and burnetii strongly." The bird tin n allows itself to be re duceil to ashes in this fire—on this point all the writers agree—and Indue course rises again from the ashes In the full glory of renewed youth "and Is the most fairest bird that is, most llkr to the peacock In feathers, and ioveth wilderness and gathereth his meat of clean greens and fruits." The basilisk, or cockatrice, was re [lilted to be nme strange mixture of a bird and serpent, able to slay with his breath and his sight, which power was accredited by some to dragons.—West minster Oaeette. \ Shorthand nimider. One day a lawyer dictated a special writ of fieri facias to his shorthand clerk and, being In a hurry, rushed off to court with the transcript as soon ns It was made without reading it. When It was presented the dignified Judge glanced through It, looked at a certain part of it steadily and became convulsed with laughter. He then handed the paper back to the lawyer, stating that he was sorry he couldn't grant his petition. "I think, please the court, that this Is according to rule," persisted the at torney.
