"At last slie really wishes to speak with mo." "It's about Nell," explained Miss Os wald. "Bi-ssie," he cried In mock horror, "when one woman wishes to speak about another it is a man's full duty to shut his ears. I refuse to listen to scandal." "It's of your own making," she said, with a trace of sharpness In her voice. "Mine!" he cried. "Bless your heart, 1 never had a scandal I could call my own, not even a half interest In the tamest and most uninteresting bit of gossip." "It's perfectly shameful the way you've acted toward that poor child," scolded Miss Oswald. "Bessie," he asked, "has it ever oc curred to you that as long as she had no complaint"— lie paused to feel for the words. "That it's no one else's business: I'll say it for you." "No," he explained gently, "that was not Just what I was going to say. I wanted to suggest that perhaps since Nellie did not complain it was Just possible that she understood and that the others did not." "Do you think," demanded Bessie, "that Nell has satisfactorily explained to herself the reason why, after being her shadow for weeks, you should sud denly drop her?" "I think," he answered slowly, "that she has explained the matter far more satisfactorily to herself than you have to yourself. I>o you care, dear, be cause I seemed t<> have forgotten you while you were away?" "You must not call me dear," she said coldly, "and it Is nothing to me HE TOOK THE FAIU 11 P.

"Only that, and nothing more," she said steadily. "Do you suppose that even had we been more than friends In the first I should care to admit it after your shameless conduct?" "It was shameless conduct, wasn't it?" he' said questioning!}*. "I guess Frank Troop thinks so fr >lll the way ho Is seeking to console her." "The only redeeming feature of the whole performance is that Frank had the manliness to forgive her and avert some of the talk by paying her atten tion again." "I think he likes the job," Insinuated Teddy. "Nice to be a rescuer when you are doing just what you want to do." "Does that alter the fact that you virtually froze Mr. Buddington out?" she demanded. "Mr. Buddington is a millionaire, and Frank has just enough to get along on." "That's where tln» trouble comes, Is It?" He looked relieved. "Just be cause 1 saved lier from Buddy you ! think that I slioitlil marry Nell beeause I am richer than Frank and can give her half a million where I eut her out of the six figures." "You put It very baldly," she ob \ Jected. "Naked truth usually Is bald," he ex- ; plained, "but It Is the truth all the same. 1 never thought you would re gard the mercenary side of It." "Only because the others do," she ex- j plained. "I>o you suppose that It Is pleasant for me to hear an old friend crltielsed as you have been'/" "Do you suppose it Is altogether; pleasant for the old friend to have his old friend cut up as you have?" he i demanded. "Don't you realize that I love you too well to care a hang about marrying Nell?" "You love me!" she cried In dis gust. "I love you," he repotted steadily. "If you loved me you would have! faith In me." "Faith against facts?" "Against appearances. Won't you believe me when I tell you that It Is all right and that both Nell and Frank understand?" "(.'an you look me In the eye anil usb me to believe that?" she asked scorn fully. "With pleasure- both eyes." He ; came toward her and took the fair bead tietween his hands. "Sweetheart," ho said tenderly, "by the love 1 hold for you and upon my honor as a man, I tell you that it Is all right. Do you believe, O ye of little faith?" Bessie studied the clear brown eyes Intently for a moment, then with a cry she burled her head upon his shoulder. "I do believe," she cried passionate ly, "but, oh, Ted, why didn't you tell me this before?" "Because you applied gag law every time 1 tried to speak," he explained whimsically. "Every time I opened my mouth you objected, and I had to quit" "But it was all so strange," she de fended. "It was funny," he corrected. "Do you remember that Mrs. Bradley's one Idea Is to get Nell married off to a rich man?" "That's why she coaxed Buddlngton here," agreed Bessie. "Well, she was going to put Frank out In the cold and give Bud all the runnlmr nrfr.re Buddlni-tou cot a chance to break in I was on the inside j 1 track, and i \\ .is rich enough to satis- ; < fy the old lady, who was not willing to risk a rupture for the sake of taking a gamble on the whole million." "You were simply a fender against , Buddington?" "1 was a thorn in his flesh," he laughed as the memory of those times came back to him. "I virtually drove i him out of town and then dropped back and gave the place to Frank again." "Ted," she pleaded, "can you ever forgive me?" "Yes," lie said promptly, "the very first chance you do anything you need forgiveness for " A l.onvon I'rom Henry Clay, A well known southern politician who died just before the civil war not Infrequently spoke of an incident that took place in his term In congress, . in which lie received a lesson in state craft from the great Whig leader, 1 Ilenry flay. "I was a young man and an enthusi astic Whig." he said, "and I entered 1 congress quivering with eagerness to serve my party and to distinguish my self I was 011 my feet shouting, 'Mr. Speaker!* a dozen times a day. I op pos<>d even petty motions made by the 1 opposite party and bitterly denounced every bill, however trivial, for which it voted. Before the session was half over I had contrived to make my self personally obnoxious to every Democrat that I met. "One day after an 111 tempered out break on a question of no moment I turned and - aw Mr. Clay watching 1110 , with a twinkle In his eye. he said, 'you go Lshing some times?' " 'Yes.' " 'Don't you find that the best rod is the one that gives a little at each joint? It does not snap and break at every touch, but bends and shows its strength only \fhen a heavy weight is put on it.' "I caught his meaning. I had seen him chatting familiarly with the very men whom I was berating. Yet I ; knew when great interests clashed he was the one man whom they feared. "I set myself then to learn patience and coolness. It is the strong, flexible rod which does not break under the big tish." The First ( arriin«(lf«. The earliest mention of the use of carronades In actual warfare which 1 have met with Is contained in the Edin burgh Advertiser for April 1.1, 1770, where accounts are given of an action fought March 17, 1770, in St. George's channel, near the Tuskar rock, between the British privateer Sharp and the American privateer Skyrocket. The former was armed with carronades, "short guns of a new construction, ; made at C-arron." One of these ac counts is from Captain Mac Arthur, an Englishman, who was at the time a prisoner on board the Skyrocket and was in a position to speak of the dam- 1 flge sustained by that ship. On April 10, in the same year, a spirited action was fought In the chan nel between the Spitfire, a British pri-! vateer armed with sixteen eighteen- j pounder carronades, cominamff-d by Captain Thomas Bell and owned by John Zulller and others, and the Sur veillante, a French frigate of thirty- \ two guns fftid a large crew. The Spit tire was taken after an obstinate fight, | the Surveiilante sustaining considera- j ble damage.- Notes and Queries. The (ininea Worm. Tiie famous guinea worm Is an in- ! habitant of the tropical regions of j Asia and Africa, existing in ponds, 1 rivers and swamps. It penetrates the ] skin of any portion of the human body j without being felt and when once It finds lodgment grows to an enormous I length. The body of the creature sel- j dom exceeds in diameter that of a ! large pin, and it inhabits the flesh just j beneath the skin. When full grown ij J is not less than twelve foot in length ' and in order t > accommodate itself j must wind several times around the ; legs op body. Should the guinea worm | find a home under the human cuticle I and grow to a large sizo there is dan- j get* of mortification setting in when i the parasite bursts, as It Is sure to do j sooner or later. In order to guard against an accident of this character ! great care Is exercised in extracting the unwelcome intruder. The skin is opened near one end of the creature and the body pulled out and wrapped around a small round stick. This stick is turned very slowly for days, or even weeks, until the entire worm lias been extracted. THE GOOD OLD TIMES. A Text From W iileh Ik Spun I.of* of Stnft' 11 ml Xoimenne.

Every man over fifty who i Is not precisely a boor is described as "a gentleman of the old school." We need but turn to the English satirists j from Fielding to Thackeray to learn ' that all tlio essential ingredients of "Vanity Fair" had their existence 100 1 or 200 years ago.

I Beresford's New Cook | ♦ ♦ By A. M. DAVIES OGDEN I 112 Copyright, 11"05. by A. M. I>. Ogdcn $ "I don't care what she is heathen, Hottentot or bank robber," cried Mrs. Beresford desperately. She bad fol lowed her husband Into the hall and norw stood clinging to his buttonhole In wistful api teal. "But 1 imi#t have somebody. 1 lore are the \\ Ithcrses and all those others coming to dinner and no one to cook a tiling. I have tele phoned the intelligence office, and Mrs. Lewis says she will have a girl at tho station for your train, so all you will have to do is speak to her and bring her along." Beresford gasped. "What, me?" he ejaculated. "Speak t«> a strange wo man in a railway station and ask her if "AliK YOU TIIE NEW COOK FOB Mltrt. BEKESFOKD?" HE DKMAN'DEIt. she's my cook! I'll be jiggered if I wliil" Then at the sight of his wife's quivering lip he pulled himself up. "All right, puss," he said hastily. "I'll get her here some way. Don't you wor ry your precious little head. Good by, dearest." And Mrs. Beresford, comforted, re turned to her cold coffee. All day long the prospect hung like a nightmare over Beresford. Suppose lie spoke to the wrong woman; suppose she considered herself insulted and called for the police. There was no counting on what a woman might do. When, having but a scant two minutes to spare before train time, he dashed into the waiting room it was with a fervent anathema against cooks in gen eral and this one in particular that ho pounced upon the nearest woman. "Are you the new cook for Mrs. Beresford?" lie demanded breathlessly. The woman, startled ny his impetuous onslaught, surveyed him with a non- I committal glance. "And if I am?" she ventured cau -1 tlously. "We must hurry. Have you your j ticket? No? I'll get it. Your trunk? Oh. that must wait until tomorrow. Come along." He found time in his rush to note and inwardly approve tho ■ neat black dress, the gentle, almost 1 sad, face of the woman beside him. Another woman, big and crowned with I a huge confection of flowers and lace, ; stood bv the door and Beresford men tally congratulated himself on not hav ing to travel with that. At home Mrs. Beresford regarded tho ! new girl with equal approval. The I question of hours, wages, days out, 1 etc., was quickly settled. Then Mrs. Beresford asked for references. Tho ; woman looked troubled. "They are all In my trunk," she ex ' plained. "Mr. Beresford Is to bring it out tomorrow. There was no time to ! day." "Ob, very well," said Mrs. Beresford. After all, it did not matter, for with out good recommendations Mrs. Lewis would not have sent her. Dinner was delicious. The soup was a dream, the roast done to a turn, the game seasoned to perfection. When | the smooth black coffee came as a flt <*iig finish to a dainty repast Mrs. j Beresford breathed a long sigh of re | lief. This woman was certainly a 1 treasure, sho mused complacently. I And Mrs. Withers suppressed a little ! envious sigh. For, like most country ' places, Hillside was but a resting place for countless legions of girls. "If slit; only keeps up like this 1 j shall regard Maggie's departure in the light of a disguised blessing," confided Mrs. Beresford to her husband later in ; the privacy of their own apartment. I"I hope she is not going to be ill. Norah Just told me that when she was arranging my room tonight the cook came in, saying she felt bad. Norah ; fixed her up with hot water bags and I things and thought she would be all 1 right in the morning. Heigho, I am tired! Anyway, I think the Witherses enjoyed themselves. Now if she will ! only stay." But Mrs. Beresford's hope was des tined to be of short duration. When j Norah came in next morning to light ' her mistress' fire she brought a tale of woe. "The cook has gone, ma'am. She felt | very bad in the night. Oh, yes; she did that. So she walked to the station i and took the first train." "Gone!" exclaimed Mrs. Beresford. ! "Gone! Why, Norah"— Then, struck i by a sudden fear, she sprang out of i bed and ran to the dressing table. "My apphirc bracelet!" sho cried. "That girl came so late last night that I had to hurry to dress and forgot half my things 1 know 1 left the here, but I supposed you had put it away. Did you, Norah; did you?" Norah gave a gasp. "The sapphire bracelet, is it? Sure, I didn't see it." "What's the row?" inquired Beres ford. appearing at the door of Ids dressing room. His wife tiling herself at liini. "The cook— the cook is gone!" sho panted. "And my sapphire bracelet! And here's a letter from Mrs. lAt wis saying that the g'rl came back to the office last nigld and lid she couldn't find you. Who who did you bring out then?" "Oh, my soul!" murmured Beresford, with a swift recollection of the big woman. "Never mind, puss; I'll find it for you." "Find it!" walled Mrs. Beresford. "My lovely sapphire bracelet! Your j wedding present to me! Oh, Harry." 1 reproachfully, "how could you bring such a person into the house?" "Well, I like that!" exclaimed Beres ford. "How was I to know?" "You—you ought to have," wept his wife. And that was her last word. J Ho should have known. The bracelet, a very handsome one, was of rather an uncommon pattern, and Ileresfortl had no doubt of being able to trace if. yet his effort met with no success And then one morning Mrs. Heresford, languidly opening a let ter postmarked Host on, uttered a little shriek. "Listen, oh, listen!" she cried. "It's from the cook! Listen!'' Dour M.uU.m -I cannot ht>j»o for your forgiveness, anil yet I think If you knew tho wholn Ptory you might be a llttlo bit sorry for me.

I felt somehow all the time that she was all right." "Oh, did you?" ejaculated her hus band In some indignation. "Well, you took a queer way of showing It." But Mrs. Beresford, a reminiscent look creeping Into her face, heaved a regretful sigh. "Yes," she murmured yearningly, "she certainly was a good cook." lien vIII K the Anchor.

All who were seated about the table were : curious to know how it was that Mrs. I'emberton should suffer when Mr. I'emberton ate cheese, and so tho cap tain explained after this manner: "I'll tell ye w hat Mariar means.
