All through the delirium Jack Irwin
was haunted by the vision of one face.
Ho real did It seem that when nt lust
the crisis came and lie emerged, weak
aud tired, from the dream world In
which he had lived for days ho In
stinctively looked about for the reality.
Instead there were only his mother,
drawn a little out of her natural re
pression by her Joy at his recovery;
the doctor and a grim faced nurse.
"Where's the other one?" he demand
ed as he looked about.
"What other one?' laughed tho doc
tor.
"That girl with tho blue eyes," he
asked Impatiently. "Can't you remem
ber?"
Mrs. Irwln came forward and laid a
hand upon his forehead. "My dear
boy." she "explained, "you must remem-
Imr that you havo been In a delirium
for a long time. It must bo one of the
dream fancies to which you allude.""
"I wish I could get back to where she
la," ho sighed, and then ho dropped off
to sleep oguln.
When be opened his eyes again there
was only the nurse, and she would not
let him talk of his delusions, yet some
how he could not bring himself to be
lieve that this was a part of his dream,
lie could recall in a hazy way many
of the phantasies through which he had
poamil. but It was not tho same with
the girl. There had been something
real, something tangible, about her. ITo
could remember that all through those
disordered hours ho could see her face
smiling at him and beckoning him on
to safety when the others sought to
lure him Into danger. lie could not
believe, even now. that It was but a
figment of a fever fired bruin.
And yet convalescence passed, and
he took up his work again. The blue
eyed girl remained only a dream,
something very real to him and yet

nono tho loss a dream. It puzzled
him, but ho eoukl not talk of It to
others.
lie was thinking of her one after
noon when his superintendent came
In and reported that Cassldy, the en
gineer, hart boon badly hurt by being
caught In the machinery.
Irwin, always thoughtful of his men,
Rave orders that he should have the
best of care, arid that evening, on his
way home, he stopped In himself to see
how the Injured man was getting
along
"Nicely, Mr. Irwin," said the grate
ful man."The doctor did all he could
to make me easy, nnd I have a nurse
that's an angel from heaven."
"Dkln't know they ha<l gone luto the
nursing business," laughed Irwin.
"Walt until you see her," warned
the engineer. "She'll be up in a min
ute; she's gone after some broth.'"
Then* was the soft sound of a door
opening and Irwin rose to. greet tho
unrse. As he did so he grasp<il tho
chair for support. It was his dream
girl, tho girl who every one had sought
to convince hltn was a myth.
She came forward with a little bow,
and Cassldy, with a wave of his hand,
Introduced her
"I ♦hlnk I must have soeu you some
where before," suggested Irwin tenta
tively.
"No," she said evenly, "I think not."
"I'm certain that I have,"he per
sisted. Hut sho would not continue
the discussion, and search his memory
as he would he could not remember
Gdna Cllntoch.
That first visit was but one of many,
and he soon discovered the hour at
which the nurse took her dally walk
bud was generally ready to leave
about the time she emorged from tlio
house.
He was never obtrusive, but In a
quiet, masterful way he suited his
steps to hers nnd continued to walk
with her.
Several weeks had passed and Oas
sldv was almost ready to return to
work when Irwin sjKike at last. They
had told him that she was leaving In
the morning, and though she had pur
posely delayed her walk until long
after she supposed Irwin had gone IIIH
tall figure loomed tip before her at the
gate. Falling Into step he slipped her
arm through his
"I thought you hart gone long

"Dl«l you suppose that I would let
you slip out of my life again V ho
asked.
"Again?" she echoed curiously.
Briefly he recounted his strange ex
•perleuce. "You have lieen In my
thoughts, sleeping and waking, ever
siuce," he concluded. "Yon are the
only woman I can ever love, and I
wunt you for my wife."
"I must not," she cried, frightened.
*'l have promised"— She caught her
eelf, but the mischief was done. Hit
by bit be drew the story from her.
Bbe bad b«*en called to attend him
when the fever had stricken him. Mrs.
Irwin had warned her against lllrtu
tlon, being fearful that her son would
marry. Rhe had promised to be care
ful, but In his delirium Jack had
seenx-d to know that she was there,
and one evening, to quiet him, she hail
brushed his fever burned lips with her
own Just as Mrs. Irwin had entered
the room.
His mother would not believe that
the kiss had been given merely as ft
part of the nursing. Khe had been flls
mlwwd on her promise that she would
say nothing, and the rest of the house
hold had been warned to Insist that
the angular woman he had found by
his bedside when he awakcuod hud

THE DOG DAYS.
In t lh» ( ourNc of Time Stria* May
I1!N«» IN Mlditluter.
I>og days begin, according to the tra
ditions of boyhood in certain parts of
the United States, when the green
■ scum, algae, begins to appear on the
; surface of the lakes and rivers. Then
It is supposed to be unsafe togo In
swimming. And it Is then that, ac
! cording to the tradition ol' many adults
as well as of boys, dogs most frequent
ly go mad. All nations and races of
i civilization apparently have had a pe
riod during the summer known as dog
i days when many maladies were sup
! posed to be common. Hut the madness
1 of dogs, hydrophobia, was never associ-
I ated with dog days by the ancients.
Dog days are a rather Indefinite pe
riod, according to this green scum rule,
| but there Is a disagreement of author!
! ties as to when dog days really do be
gin and end. According to the diction
ary, "dog days art- part of the year
about the time of the heliacal rising of
the dog star, Sirlus"—that is, when the
dog star rises in conjunction with the
sun or as nearly in conjunction as may
be observed. Various dates from July
8 to Aug. 15 have been assigned for
the beginning of dog days, and they
are given various durations of from
thirty to fifty days.
It seems to have been from the helia
cal rising of Sirius that the nnelents
most commonly reckoned the dog (biys.
| Thus at the present time dog days
I would begin July 3 and will end Aug.
11. Sirius is the brightest star in the
I heavens, and It was easy to associate
the mutual heat of the brightest star
and of tho sun with the hottest and
most unkindly period of the year. Hip
pocrates (450 R. C.) declared the dog
days to be the most unhealthy part of
the summer.
Dog days are continually dropping
farther back In the calendar. Now
they are twelve days behind the sched
ule to which they hold In the period of
the pharaohs. In time Sirlus may rise
in the dead of winter. The Egyptians
maintained that the first indication of
tho rlso of the Nile took place on tho
morning of tho longest day, when, as
they said, tho sun and Sothls (Sirius)
rose together. They attributed the rise
of the river entirely to the great heat
generated by this star in conjunction
with the sun.
81rius Is situated In the mouth of the
constellation Tunis Major (the "great
dog"). The Latin name of dog days
was "dies canlcularls," and from this
comes the term "'canicular year,"
which was known among the Egyp- 1
tlans and Ethiopians. It was computed '
from one heliacal rising of Sirlus to i
the next and consisted ordinarily of
Ho>s days, every fourth year having
days. Cftieago News.

Turner, the naturalist, declares that
he once saw upon tho coast of Brazil
a race of gigantic savages whose av- <
crage height was over ten feet, some
Individuals exceeding twelve and a half
feet. M. Thevet of France in his de
scription of America, which was pub- j
llshed in Paris in 1575, says that ho
was once present when the skeleton of
a South American savage eleven feet
and two inches In height was disin
terred. The Chinese have a record of
several giants between twelve and six
teen feet In height which have lived in
the Flowery Kingdom within the last
800 years. Josephus mentions a Jew
who was ten feet two Inches, and I
riiny was well acquainted with Ga- I
bath, the Arabian giant, who was nine
feet nine Inches in height. Coming j
down to modern times, wo find that
John Middleton, who lived In tho time |
of James 1., was nine feet three inches
and had a hand seventeen Inches long i
by eight and a half broad. Murphy, I

inches and O'Brien two inches taller. I

Miranda's
Whims
By A. M DAVIES OGDF.N
< 'PUfii/hl, 190/1, by A. M/). Ilgfan
i k t'
It was afternoon on one of tho last
lew hot days of summer. Through tho
open windows came glimpses of green
wood bespeaking a delicious coolness
and the ripple of brooks, but in the
schoolroom the air was undeniably
close. The scratch of u pencil, the
shuilling of Impatient little feet, tho
drone of a lazy bee, all seemed to In
tensify the impression of heat, and the
young schoolmaster stirred restlessly.
It hud meant a great deal to Peter
Raymond, securing tho village school
at Wimberly, but ho had not found his
task an easy one. His eyes, wandering
over the rows of bent heads before him,
encountered the glance of a girl seated
near the door. The girl, one of the old
er scholars, with a toss of her curls,
returned to her book, und the trouble
In the schoolmaster's face deepened.
Here was the crux of the situation. If
he could win Miranda Hemming to his
side the remainder of the pupils would
follow easily enough. But It wns Mi
randa herself, with her great blue eyes,
fetching dimples and coquettish ways,
who openly led the revolt against hlrn.
The teacher sighed again. Perhaps ho
was too young.
From die very beginning of his work,
however, Raymond had recognized tho
primitive instinct of hostility to tho un
known in the questioning eyes uplifted
to his own. Now, after five weeks, he
seemed no nearer tho solution of his
problem; indeed, matters under Miran
da's spirited guidance were becoming
even worse, despite Ms pointed Ignor
ing of her mutiny. He touched the bell.
"First class in grammar," he said.
Miranda, with several other girls, rang
ing from sixteen to eighteen, came
slowly forward. It was rather a try
ing recitation. Most of the girls stum
bled. Miranda failed utterly, nor did
she care. To all his questions she an
swered with provoking nonchalance,
evidently Indifferent as to whether he
were pleased or not. Her rebellion had
never before been quite so openly man
ifest. A sudden line of resolution
tightened the young man's mouth.
"You may return to your seats," he
said. "Miss Miraluln, I shall expect
you to remain after school until that
lesson Is recited perfectly."
"What!" cried the girl. Involunta
rily she fell buck a step, hardly believ
ing her own ears. That any one should
dare address her, Miranda Hemming,
In such fushion! Raymond's expression
did not change.
"You heard what I said," he returned
quietly. "It should not take long "
For a moment Miranda, stupefied,
hesitated, then she flounced Indignant
ly back to her seat The whole school,
which had dropped all work to listen
to the passage at arms between Mi
randa and the teacher, fairly shivered,
and Tom Carruthers, a big, loutish
chap of nineteen, shot a sulleu look at
Raymond. To scold Miranda! To the
quivering excitement of the school, the
time until 4 o'clock appeared fairly to
fly. Would teacher really keep In Mi
randa?
When the others arose, Miranda also
sprang to her feet. Then something in
the teacher's expression caused her to
sink back In her seat, tingling and
abashed. It took an unusually long
time for the pupils to dlsi>erse that
day, but at Inst they were all gone.
"You need not think that I shall
study that lesson," she declared with
sharp emphasis. Raymond nodded.
"As you please," he answered. "Only
here we both stay until you do."
"And I'm not to have any supper?"
Incredulously
"Not until you learn tliut lesson."
"But"— bur at out Miranda furious
ly. Then she closed her Hps with a
snap and leaned back, her hands tem- j
psstuously folded before her. Ray- '
mond picked up a book.
"Take your own time," he said pleas
nntly.
But somehow tho book did not provo
very enthralling- Between his eyes and
the printed pages persisted tho vision I
of a willful little fuco set in its tingle
of wavy hair. Yet ho must not be
beaten now. Ills whole future hung j
on this Issue, he thought. The shad- j
ows lengthened, the sun droppi-d bo- j
hind tho hills. Miranda, who for some
time hod been stealing furtive glances
at the quiet figure behind the big desk
smiled prettily.
"I'm—l'm hungry," she wheedled, j
Far an Instant Raymond wavered, j
This new sweetness was strange and
alluring. But before ho could speak
the door was fluug open and Tom Car
ruthers appeared on tho threshold.
"Ben't yo comlu' home to supper,
Mlrandy?" he demanded. "Yer ma sent
mo fer ye," darting a suspicious look
at her Jailer. "Ain't ye comln'? I'll
look out fer ye."
"Why," began Miranda feebly. Ray
mond, a sudden, unaccountable resent
ment surging into bis heart, frowned.
"Miss Miranda is in no need of a ;
champion," he declared stiffly, "fiho
can leave when she chooses. You may ] i
go." And Tom, ufter an Instant's j I
scowling hesitation, went out, banging i
the door. Miranda bit her lip. i
"I will never learn that lesson," she
repented stubbornly.
Thsre wa.«t another long silence while
the shadow i darkened. At last the
young man rose and lit the lamp.
"It Is nearly 9 o'clock," he said brief
ly. Miranda, now close upon tears,
looked back still defiant
"And if 1 say It you'll let mo go?"
"Certainly."
With rapid, choked utterances she
filing the text at him, not pausing for
question or comment. And then—
"l 1 hate you," she cried vehement
ly; "hate you, hate you! And I'll nev
er, never come Into th'K horrid school
room again!" The bright drops shone
In her eyes like dew on forgetmenots,
Iter cheeks were Unshed to a wild rose
pink; the girl was shaken, puzzled,
hurt. Tho \lllage boys she had teased
and ruled at will. For the first time
she had a man impervious nliko
to her anger or smiles. From the day
that he, a stranger, had met her eyes
in calm unconcern she had uncon
sciously resented the fact. Now the re
pressed wrath of weeks found vent.
"I hate you," ».! e reiterated stormily.
The next moil cut she had flashed
through the door and was gone, llay
mond, oddly depressed in spite of bis
victory, followed slow ly.
The world was flooded with the tran
quil glory of the moonlight as he went
out. A narrow path led to the road
Wttfre u row of maples lifted their
leafy branches to the starry skies, and
Raymond, fancying that he caught the
gleam of a white dress there under the
trees, felt his heartbeats quicken.
Somehow he had !•■ u 1 > >king forward
h> walking home with t• • • uni. Then
as he turned from locking the do >r a
»urn tigure rushed by the corner of thu
schoolhouse, thorn was a woman's shrill
scream, something hoavv struck hi*
forehead, und Huyrnoad fell.
It must have been nearly an hour
later when Raymond and Mlraada
stopped at the gate of the girl's home.
Hearing footsteps, Mrs. ilematng
came out to meet them.
"Well," she said. "Ho I hear you've
been having trouble with Mtrandj.
Tom was here In quite a state and
wanted me to Interfere. But I judged
you knew how to run your own game,"
comfortably. "I>!d ye meet him?" Ray
mond, feeling the bump left by the
atone on his forehead, laughed.
"i'es, we met him," he said whim
sically. "And he left us In no doubt as
to his opinion of me. Indeed, I might
say that he left a decided Impression.
If It had not been that Miranda, sua
porting there might bo trouble, wait
ed— But, after all, 1 do not know that
t blame him much," bo went on. "lie
Could not appreciate that I was acting
In Miranda's best interests," with mis
chievous emphasis. Miranda, very shy
and conscious, flushed. Mrs. Hemming
llftod hor hands.
"What ever am I going to do with
that girl?" she ejaculated. "Really,
she's growing fairly unmanageable. If
she only had a father!*' The young
man became suddenly quite grave.
"Will you Intrust the task to me,
Mrs Hemming?" he asked. "I think I
understand her better now."
Trust you," cried Mrs. Hemming.
"Why, ye're nothing but a boy your
I self. How could you be a father to
her?" regarding him In perplexed as
tonishment. Raymond bout and pos
sessed himself of the girl's slender
i hand.
"No. I suspect that I couldn't be a
| father to her," he agreed, "but she has
I just promised to marry me."

I Among the many amusing things
Hans Christian Andersen treated us
i to was a little anecdote which, cu
riously enough, vince it was so very
, characteristic of him, he omitted from
his autobiography. He mentions In
h!> "Life's Story" that during the
autumn of is 14 lie was a daily guest
j af the Danish royal family at Fohr,
a ltd was on terms of intimacy both
with them and with the family of the
Duke of Augilstenborg. lie told us
the following Incident about his stay
there: It had been one of the mortifica
tions of his younger days that the
dean of the diocese, who in his day had
confirmed liiin, had treated him badly,
and put the affront on him of placing
him, as a poor boy. do- n in the bottom
of the church, among tho curate's poor
candidate-'-. although he properly be
long-*! iij■ above, among the dean's
own He chanced to hear that this
man now held a p > I in the island of
Fohr. "So I ask«*d the king," said An
dersen, "If I might for once have one
of the royal carriage-, with coachman
and footman in i d livery, the same as
the royal family themselves used,
placed at my disposal, to pay a visit.
The king smiled and said, 'With pleas
ure.' So I drove out In the royal
carriage, with panachod horses, and
coachman and footman, to pay a visit
to my old diocesan dean The carriage
waited outside while I was In tho
house. That was my revenge." It
seems to me that we have Andersen's
whole self. Ids romantic bent, his old
humiliation- and his vehement, half
childish greed of h »n >r, in this little

BALLOON ASCENSIONS.
The ( lON<* OF tlio l>?i> Is ili«- llent
Time to Make Them.
"Did you ever know why it is that
a balloon ascension at a country fnlr,
promised for o'clock In the after
noon, never occurs until ahout 0?"
asked an expert parachute jumper.
"It always happens, and the explana
tion generally is that the preparations
fur the ascension could not be made
In time. This Is rarely the cast;, for
the balloonist never had any Intention
of g >ing up earlier than just toward
the close of day. The reason for this
is that not only is an ascension at any
other time fraught with a little more
danger on account of the winds which
usually prevail, but also because by
these .same winds the balloon and para
i chute are apt to be carried too far
away, perhaps so far that Injury may
befall them before they can be recov
ered.
"The old and experienced balloonist
never makes an ascension except just
at sundown, because with the going
down of the sun the winds subside
considerably. He can go almost straight
up, break away his parachute and
come down In the very lot from which
the ascension was made.
"There is really very little danger In
parachute leaping when the man who
does it is experienced. The parachute
must open and bring him down safely,
though he will have a hair raising drop
like a chunk of lead for about I(X> feet,
the distance usually covered before the
big bag opens. Then he can guide his
descent readily by raising or lowering
this side or that in order to spill a lit
tle air and thus keep it from drifting.
"A balloon can't be guided, but a
parachute with n man of experience
hanging to it can lie controlled as eas
ily as a boat, for the reason that by
tilling It on one side you can force It
in the other direction and thus ma
neuver so that if it Is desired you can
deposit yourself on the very spot of
the ascension. It is only the Inexpe
rienced men who drift or those who
fear they may Incline the bag too far
for safety."—St. Louis (Jlobe-Democrat.
In After Yenrs.
"Women are certainly changeable
creatures," said the weary looking
man.
"What's the explanation?" asked the
friend of the family.
"I Hiring our honeymoon," answered
the weary party, "my wife declared
she could not live a day without me."
"Well/" queried the family friend.
"Only last week," continued the
other, "she tried to get me to Insure j
my life for .SIO,OOO in her favor."— ,
