The Career of Anne Tiy A. M. DAI'IES OGDF.N Covuriijht, Vj"s, In A. M- IK Ofl'hil j Spring had come at last. In the parks rows of gay tulips and hyacinths flauuied their beauty In the sunshine, the trees, newly decked in palest green, waved happy branches to soft breezes. All the world seemed overflowing with color, perfume, life. Anne Whittington, walking briskly, uptown, music roll In hand, felt her pulßes a-tingle in exultant responses to the call. Life, life everywhere. It surged and blossomed. The girl's eyes glowed, her breath quickened. Tonight she was to have her chance. Tho pretty color called to her face by her music master's praise deepened. He had been pleased, even enthusiastic. Surely those who should listen to her tonight would not prove less kind. And then, all at once as she passed a large build ing, the glad light faded a bit. Paul! She had almost forgotten him. Would he be there? The girl's pace slackened as her face clouded. Why had he so upset things? Why had he not been content to remain friends? Anne's lips quivered as she remembered the look of pain in his dark eyes. She did not want to hurt him. It was two weeks now since the afternoon that he had come, overflowing with the news of his advance in salary. "And now—now, Anne!" he had cried, "I can claim you at last. Oh, Anne!" But the girl, startled, a little defiant, had drawn back. He demanded too much. Surrender her life, her career, now. Just when the bitterly tolled for, eagerly craved success was almost hers? Anne stared at him with wide, frightened eyes. She had never dreamed of his caring that way. They had been goul chums, that was all. But to all Anne's pleading he had vouchsafed scant attention and had gone away still with that white look on his face. lie had not come again. The faint shadow of an ache fluttered near the girl's heart. Then with a res olute effort she threw It off. No, she was not sorry; she could not give up her work, not for any one. And, with a firm reconquering of her forme. SLOWLY THEY UKOAN T< > SLIP 11ACK INTO TIIEIIC SKATS. buoyant mood, the girl quickened her steps once more. Life, life, how good it was! And hers was still her own to mold, to fashion as slie chose. AH day long this exultation clung about her, enveloping her in a rosy, Joyous mist through which she looked out unseemingly at the world. It was still hers, as with beating heart she stepped upou the stage. And then all at once her excitement suddenly drop ped away and she felt like a frighten ed child. How big the hall was. She had not realized that it was so big! And how crowded. Eyes, eyes; there were millions of them and all fixed un swervingly upon her. Anne felt her head swim. The accompanist, with a kindly glance In her direction, had seated himself at th<- piano. She must begin. She made a desperate effort. Clear, smooth, the girlish young voice floated out to the audience. But even to her own ears it sounded cold, forced, lacking in charm. Her throat ■eemed paralyzed. Amid perfunctory applause she made her way off the platform, Just üble to see through the blinding tears. Was she a failure aft er ail? The succeeding numbers on tho pro gramme passed to her lik«* some horri ble, relentless nightmare. The thought that she must King again held her In a grip of lee. Spring! It was but a de lusion, a mockery. For what had she dured to lope? And It was only nerv ed with the courage of despair that she was able again to faee the audi ence. Mechanically Anne followed the ac companiment. She was almost l>eyond feeling now. Her one desire was to get through. There was a movement In the audi ence, a vague sense of something wrong- People looked about uneasily. Then all at once a sharp cry cut across the song, "Fire! Fire!" In on Instant everything was con fusion. Anne stared helplessly. The accompanist bad disappeared. Out In front the people were fighting to reach the narrow doors, the stairs 'lte pnnic threatened to be worse than the fire. The girl stood motionless. Would tbey nil be killed? Through the struggling mob a figure fought its way to the stage—a tall, stmight figure, with eager brown eyes. Anne's heart gave a sudden throb. "Paul! Oh, Paul!" she cried. He was there, he was coming to IHT; she was not forgotten. The next moment he had leaped upon the stage and had flung a protecting arm around her. "Courage, sweetheart," he urged. "That's my brave girl," as the color came flashing back to lips and cheek. "Now, how to get out of this." But the ushers, recovering presence of mind, had begun to shout reassur ances. "Sit down!" they yelled. "The fire Is out. Sit down! Sit down!" Yet the crowd still tossed and scram bled. The moment was pregnant; life and death hung in the balance. If the rush could be stopped! With a sudden Inspiration Paul dashed to piano and struck a chord. The crowd, startled, wavered. The young fellow flung himself Into the seat. "Sing," he cried. "Sing, Anne," breaking into the accompaniment of an old song which they had often sung to (ether. And Anue, shuken, thrilled. stirred as never before, let her voice ring out in all its glorious power. Strong, brilliant, beautiful, the notes bubbled up from the white throat In a perfect passion of lyrical ecstasy. Her listeners, spellbound, held their breath. Who would have imagined that pale girl to own such a voice? One after another gaining courage, slowly they began to slip back Into their seats. The danger was over, the panic averted. A tumult of applause greeted the close of the song. The audience, stamping, cheering, divided between admiration of her voice and appreciation of her pluck, fairly went mad. Again and again they called her out. Anne, her eyes gleaming, her cheeks aglow, tried to hide her Impatience. Why could they not let her go? What had she done? It was l'aul who de served the credit, not she, but he had vanished. When at last, still tremulous from the excitement, she escaped Into the little hall, she found him there awaiting her. They were quite alone, the new performer claiming attention. Anne, her lips quivering with a little wistful smile, held out her hands. "Paul," she whispered. The young fellow, a sudden hope dawning In his eyes, caught her hands inn fervent clasp. "Anne, oh, Anne " he breathed, sus pense, dread, longing, shaking his voice. "Anne!" The girl lifted repentant eyes. "I —I've been selfish." she declared unsteadily. "Oh, Paul, can you forgive me? Hut—but I didn't understand. My career," with supreme scorn, "what Is my career? When I saw you com ing to me amid all that frenzied crowd I—l knew," so low that be could hardly catch the whispered word. But the man, 1111 inarticulate excla mation breaking from him, had caught her close. "We will work together, sweetheart," he murmured tenderly. "That Is tho way." And Anne smiled. 1I«* Got the Money# "Nothing looks so small to a man when his tooth aches 11s a ten dollar bill, and nothing so big after the dentist has finished with him," says a young dentist. "There's a man here in town who has owed me live ten dollar bills for more than a year. He Is perfectly able to pay the bills, but he won't do it. He says it's an outrage to charge that much for filling only ten or a dozen teeth. Well, last month he broke a tooth and came to me on the Jump with beads of sweat on his agonized brow.

And presently tin? young man return ed with a small tray holding three small pieces. They were gracefully fashioned and looked like gold. And the tray looked like gold. "What do you think they are?" asked the head man. "Silver gilt," I suggested. "Hold It,"he said and put the serv ice in my hands. "It's heavy," said I, "but—it can't bo solid gold." "That's what it Is," he assured me and pointed to the mark. "These four pieces—the tray, the coffeepot, the cream pitcher and the sugar bowl—are eighteen carat gold, solid. The price Is $3,000."

SAVAGE BLUEFISH. They Aet Like Sheep Kill!use Dorm Anionic tl»e Ewefi. All unseen, a desperate tragedy was in full swing. A horde of blue thugs was harrying a crowding mass of help less moss bunkers, as was attested by a greasy streak on the surface and floating fragments of the tish which had been chopped in two by powerful and merciless jaws, writes Edwyn Sandys in Itecreation. This is the way of the blue. Among the schools of small fry he is like a dog among sheep; be seems to slay from sheer lust of slaughter. The skipper later declared that a bluefish w ill cram Itself to the jaws with sections of its victims, then, when there is room for no more, eject the mangled mass and begin all over again. This may or may not be true, but certain it Is that the blue Is possessed of an appalling voracity, which the fragments of its victims do not seem to satisfy. The terns know this, hence their close attendance when the car nage begins. While nature often seems to work in a savage mood and to im pel her creatures to what may look like outrageous slaughter, a little of close observation seldom fails to dis cover a method In the apparent mad ness. The terns and other sea fowl are grateful for all scraps that float, while on the bottom bide tho slow moving scavengers, ready to take care of whatever sinks their way. Nothing is wasted, and the lobster, crab and other bottom feeders must bless the name of the bluefish. I'nconnclr*n«l> Fnnny A«lw. "Humor," say - Mr Crothers.

YT LTUKES OF MEXICO HOW THESE BIRDS HAUNT THE ARID ALKALI PLAINS.

At night the moon looks down upon n desolate, arid plain, stretching away to the great Sierra Madre mountain chain, deep, shadowy blue, against the western sky. The air is chill, and a bleak wind searches out every fold in our blankets—we might almost be spending a night on the tundras. With scafW' a moment of dawn tho sun floods everything, a most welcome warmth for awhile, soon to make one gasp in its breathless beat. Long be fore the rainy season actually begins vegetation seems to feel u quickening in the air; the plants scent the coming moisture weeks beforehand; the rush ing streams, swollen with the melting snows from the lower mountain tops, bring life to the lands through which they flow; spring Is awakening every where- except on the alkali plain. Where a thin rind of red brown grass roots partly covers the white dust, parched mesquite bushes find root, and strange, uncouth organ cacti rear their columns, like mammoth can delabra. Ilere wild eyed cattle roam uneasily, nibbling occasionally at the bitter grass stems. Farther out in the desert, where even the mesquite and cacti fall, we ride slowly across the parched surface, wondering if a single living thing can endure the bitterness of the earth. In the distance move the whirlwinds of dust, tall, thin columns with perfectly distinct outlines, undulating slowly here and there, both life and death In their silent movement. Most remarkable it seems to us when a stray great blue heron now and then ilies silently up from the desert (what can possibly attract these birds to such a place of death as this, distant even from the bitter pools?) and flaps slowly out of sight. Twice a great ebony raven sails through the dusty air over our heads —the same bird repassing. No other life is visible save the bal anced black specks high against the blue, as Invariably a part of a Mexican day as are stars of the night. Herons, vultures, raven—all move slowly, seem ing less alive than the distant dust columns. But we feel the real spirit of the eternal desert when, as we turn to re trace our steps, we spy n something white, different from the surrounding earth, and the spell of past ages falls upon us. The bitter water Is ever dry ing up, the whirlwinds carry the dust from place to place, tho birds come and go as they please, but this relic of an elephant of the olden time brings past and present into close touch. What scenes has the dqpert looked upon since this mammoth staggered dying into the quagmire which proved its tomb? Our eyes smart from the dust as we reluctantly turn our horses' heads on the back trail, for we should like to stay and search out these fos sils—more fascinating in a way than the living beasts and birds which peo ple the tropics beyond. One of the most wonderful of the exhibitions of bird life vouchsafed to us in Mexico comes as we leave the alkali plain nnd ride away among tho mesquite scrub. A confused mass of black appears in the air, which soon re solves Itself into hundreds of Individ ual specks. The atmosphere is so de ceiving that what at first seems to be a vast cloud of gnats close at hand If. soon seen to be a multitude of birds blackbirds, perhaps, until we approach and think them ravens nnd, finally, when a quarter of a mile away, we know that they are vultures. Three burros lie dead upon the plain. This we knew yesterday, and here are the scavengers. Never have we seen vul tures so numerous or in snob order. A careful scrutiny through tho glass es shows many score of black and tur key buzzards walking about and feed ing upon tho carcases of the animals. From this point there extends upward Into the air a vast Inverted eon# «t birds, all circling In the same direction. From where we sit upon our horsea there seems not a single one out of place, the out ling of the cqjio being as Fiuootn ana aistmel as tnougn trie mras were limited in their flight to this par ticular area. It Is a rare sight, the sun lighting up every bird on tho farther side and shadowing black as night those nearest us. Through one's partly closed eyes the whole mass appears as a myriad of slowly revolving wheels. Intersect ing and erosing each other's orbits, but never breaking their circular out line. The thousands of soaring forms hold us spellbound for minutes before we rode closer. Now a change takes place, as gradual but as sure as the shifting clouds of a sunset. Until this moment there had been a tendency to concentrate at the base of the cone, that portion becoming blacker and blacker, until it seemed a solid mass of rapidly revolving forms. But at our near approach, this concentration ceases and there is perfect equilibrium for a time. Then, as we ride up a gen tle slope Into clearer view, a wonder ful ascent begins. Slowly tho creeping spiral wings upward; the gigantic In verted cone, still perfect in shape, lifts clear of the ground and drifts away; the summit rises in a curve, which, lit tle by little, frays out Into ragged lines, all drifting in the same direction, and before our very eyes the thousands of birds merge into a shapeless, undu lating cloud, which rises and rises, spreading out more and more until the eye can no longer distinguish the birds, which from vultures dwindle to mero motes floating and lost among the clouds. —('.

The Way i» I.lttle Square of the Yel lon Metal IN K\|iimileii Into n I.anse nn<l Almont Trnnaimrent I.fill t>) the ArtlMitii'M Hnniuirra. The art of the gold beater is one of the oldest handicrafts In the world ind among those which have changed least. Much of the decoration of Solo mon's temple Is believed to have been covered with gold leaf, hammered to the requisite thinness bj hand, as It is today. The gold beater receives his material not In the form of the sixty penny weight ingot in which It is cast, but In the form of a ribbon about an inch wide and twenty-four feet long. This ribbon is first cut into 200 squares and placed In the "eutch," which Is a pile of square pieces of a peculiar paper, part animal and part vegetable In composition, the prepara tion of which Is a secret. The best cutches are made In London. A square of gold is placed between each two leaves and the whole mass is ready for the first beating. This in done with an iron hammer weighing from twelve to seventeen pounds, while the cutch rests upon a granite block which Is supported by a heavy wooden post. Under the heavy, measured blows cf the hammer the sheets of gold begin to stretch or expand until In half or three-quarters of an hour they have reached the edges of the c .Lch. They are then removed and with a thin strip of bamboo are cut into quarters, so that the 200 pieces become 800. Next comes the "slioder," a collection of 800 pieces of skin, four Inches square, made from the intestines of cattle. As In the cutch, each piece of gold is placed between two leaves of skin, and bands of parchment or vellum are slipped over the whole pile to keep It together. Another beating, this time with o hammer weighing from eight to ten pounds, now fallows. This takes about an hour, during which the sheets of gold are all the time expanding. The last stage Is the "mold," which, like the cutch and the shoder, Is com posed of alternate leaves of gold and skin, but the mold is about live Inches square and made up of gold beater's skin. The preparation of this Is a jeal ously guarded trade secret. The skin, like that In the shoder, is made from the intestines of the ox. It Is translucent and not unlike rawhide in color. Although It will stand con tinuous beating without breaking. It will tear like n sheet of thin paper. The making of a single mold requires the Intestines of 500 bullocks. Between each two beatings the skin is rubbed with baked and pulverized gypsum. A mold contains 1.000 sheets. After the second beating the workman takes from the shinier a single leaf of gold at n time, handling it with bamboo pinch ers and, when necessary, smoothing it with a rabbit's f<>>t. With the strip of bamboo he euts each sheet Into quar ters again, so that the original 200 have now become One shoder, therefore, contains 11; ore than enough gold to fill three molds. The final beating In the mold Is done with a seven pound hammer and re quires from three to four h >urs. By this time the gold leaf should have ex pandiil again to the edge of the sWns and should be of the requisite thinness, which is determined by holding it up to the light. If it transmits green rays It Is done and will measure :d)OUt one two-hnndred-aiid-elghty-th jnsandth of an inch in thickness. The hammers used In beating gold are slightly convex on the face. The art of the workman consists in so strik ing that the gold will always be thin nest in the center. lie must pound with evenness all over the square lit order that the sheets of gold may ex pand with >nt losing their form, but at ttie same time lie must keep the thick est part near the edges. so that when the sheets are finally trimmed to size the thicker portions may fall In the waste, to be recast. No machinery has ever been devised which will do this successfully. The tools of the craft are Interesting and peculiar. The rabbit's foot Is ex ana jn-t oiiy cnougn t.> prevent the gold from sticking, and the bamboo pliers and cutting slips are the only things with which it Is possible to d 1 this delicate work. The gold does not adhere t > the fibers of the reed as it does to steel. The gold beater perform.; all his work standing The <if the heavy hammers in such continuous poimdint* would, one would think, impose an al most Intolerable strain upon the hands and arms. The men say, however, that their arms never ache. The only place where "it catches them" is in the bend of the knee. The lack of strain upon the arms is accounted for by the fact that the hammer rebounds. It i; an astonish ing tout by no means a rare thing to see a gold beater change hands while the hammer Is in the air and without los ing a stroke.

VALUE OF LAUGHTER. >lany IT Political < »ii|> HUM Iteen Won liy Mean* of Hilarity. It is just because laughter is so thor oughly human that it always touches a respective chord in the heart. People who are impelled to laugh together find it difficult to harbor any senti ments of resentment toward one an other. Laughter drives away irrita tion. To laugh at a thing and at the same time to be seriously angry is al most an impossibility, and many a p)'itical coup has been won by means of hilarity, says the Pittsburg Dis . patch. The third Napoleon's advent to the throne was signalized by much blood shed, but in spite even of this the people became reconciled to the new regime by the amusing and ingenious fa-liion in which on the morning of the fateful I »ec. 2 the placards und posters bearing the watchwords of re publicanism were found to have been metamorphosed into imperial manifes toes. The way in which it had been done I excited such hearty laughter that the people's anger was to a great extent appealed.

NO LIKE ON THE MOON. Tin* Proof We Have That Onr Near est I.M I nin Ii a !>i t eil. The moon being much the nearest to us of all the heavenly bodies, we can pronounce more definitely in its case than in any other. We know that neither air nor water exists on the moon in quantities sufficient to be per ceived by the most delicate tests at our command. It Is certain that the moon's atmosphere, if any exists, is less than the thousandth part of the density of that around us. The vacuum is great er than any ordinary air pump is ca paole of producing. We can hardly suppose that so small a quantity of air could be of any benefit whatever in sustaining life. An animal that could get along on so little could get along on none at all. But the proof of the absence of life is yet stronger when we consider the results of actual telescopic observa tion. An object such as an ordinary city block could be detected on the moon if anything like vegetation were present on its surface, we should see the changes which it would undergo in tin- course of a month, during one portion of which it would be exposed i to the rays of the unclouded sun and I during another to the Intense cold of space.
