Over pic turesque Havana a yellow moon pour ed a floni th.; other, after a quick glance at the window, looked back at the young American, and a slow smile began to dawn on his lip*. "Rut you are quite excusable, senor," he said In pretty English. Again bis eyes sought the window. "It Is for me to apologize," he laughed. "The eight of the Senoriia Caimela is reason enough." "You know In r then?" burst out Ben edict. Then he Parted and recollected. "I—l beg your pardon," he stammered distressfully "But—but"— The man nodded more gravely. "I Judge you are a stranger here," he re marked. Young Benedict flushed. "Yes." he said. 'I —I suppose It is awfully rude to stand In the street and stare that w ay. But I never had seen any one so beautiful before," be ended up quite simply, the color deepening under his t in."And I thought per haps—my hr >ther might know," floun dering again. "Mr. Thomas Benedict," he added as the other seemed to wait. The Cuban looked nt him more close ly. "Is Tom Benedict your brother?" he asked, and In some way his voice had altered. "Tom! Ah!" Then he lifted his hat. "Good night," he said politely. "And let me give you a piece of advice. It is not unusual t.» stand under a win dow, to watch f'nm a point of van tage, or even to speak." And again be laughed. "But you, senor"—and his tone held a warning tone —"for you, senor. It would be best not to try It. You are hut a stranger here, and our customs are not yours." And before the somewhat Indignant Benedict coulil recover speech the stranger bad bowed, replaced his cig arette between his lips and was gone. The girl at the window, too, had van ished, and Benedict, accepting perforce the other's advice, walked on. But tho sight here and there In the dusky street of a man leaning against the iron bars which guard the lower win dows, exchanging low remarks to soma Inmate, evoked strange longings. In the morning, however, Jerry could laugh at the whole episode. A girl's face at a window—surely he had seen plenty such. And if not quite so won derful as this one well, the Cuban's remarks had been well meant and were worth remembering So lie Idled away an hour or two In the Oalle Obispo, with its gay shop windows and bright awning* stretched the width of the narrow little street Then he went to the bank for letters and had luncheon at the Englaterra, where he looked In vain for a familiar face. He did not mean togo near that street, her street, again, fee nssured himself And yet somehow as 5 o'clock drew near he found his feet taking him In that direc tion. lie scolded himself, turned and began to walk away, Hut it seemed foolish to avoid a street Just because a pretty girl lived there, and It was the shortest way h-mie. He was sure that It wa- the shortest way home The nex 112 moment b<- \v;>» |»tclng rap Idly along it As he d>e"* near the house where he bad seen her, however, his step began to slack' !) Would she-- could she be there? lie looked, hardly daring to hope. All at once his heart thumped madh she was there, and she was looking straight at hiin. He could have sworn that she recognized him. Vet how was that p »sible? And then •lightly, almost Imperceptibly, but to Benedict quite unmistakably, she bent her head. Tom wus still away. There was nothing to do. .lerry fell into the way of passing through that street once or twice a day. The girl was usually iu her window. He would bow gravely. She would respond with the faintest smile. And one never to be forgotten afternoon there fell at his feet a small scarlet flower. The night Tom came home he watch ed his brother throughout dinner with puzzled, thoughtful eyes. He did not know much about the "kid," he reflect ed, nor how he took things. "I saw I ton Knrique Galdos today." he began abruptly. Then, as Jerry seeinel unei; ! !crliteiie'. '••• added, "He said tint he h>d ; et • i .>.je n'»ht out the Mar'. inez. Jen 11 >l' I. "Oh that < :>np! Y< ' » di-.l g.\e me lon e talk : i,. t i. . I ' ..eve." "Which you apparently did not j heed," commented Tom dryly. "And now it seems you have been compro mising the girl and" "Compromising!" broke In Jerry, wildly astonished. "Why. I've never even met her Wouldn't 1 like to, though!" "If you really wish it I suspect 1 can arrange it." said Tom slowly. "Donna Carmela is undeniably lovely. But do you realize what meeting iter means?" "Why, that 1 met her, I suppose," re torted Jerry. But Tom shook his head "It means more than that." he said quietly. "The Martinez are old fash ioned people. Their Ideas are very strict. You may court through the win dow If you like, but once taken to the house an engagement is settled." "Engagement!" gasped Jerry. "En gagement to a girl you never hare even spoken to!" "That is the custom," said Tom. "And It is that or leave Havana. In fact, if Don Enrique had uot known that yo.i were my brother you might have got yourself into serious trouble. Luckily we are great friends, but even as it is—don't choose hastily, dear boy." he added kindly. "Of course it may have been the merest flirtation on your part, and you couldn't be ex pected to understand." "And the girl?" cried Jerry. "She | thinks"— "She naturally knows nothing of American ways." answered Tom grave ly. For a moment Jerry sat with whirl | lug brain. Become engaged to a per ' feet stranger? That he was longing to ; meet her he knew; that he would prob ably be only to«> glad of the chance to j marry her he thought most likely. Yet j to plunge Into it this way! And then he thought of the rose which had fallen ut his feet and straightened himself. "I should like to meet the Senorita Carmela," he said. "How soon may we go?" Origin of Two Tavern Term*. The term "entire," so often tsetm over inns and taverns in Knglaud and not always understood by the passersby, is said to have tirst been used about 1722. Trior to that date the malt liq uors In general use were ale, beer and "twopenny." It was usual for tavern customers to call for a pint or tankard of half and half that is, half ale and half beer, half ale and half twopenny or half beer and half twopenny. In course of time it became customary to call for a tankard of"three threads." meaning a third of ale, beer and two penny. To save publicans the trouble and waste of turning three taps for one pint of liquor a brewer named Har wood conceived tiie idea of making a beverage which should unite the fla vors of all three drinks, lie called his production "entire," or "entire butt beer." As It was considered suitable for porters and other working people. It is said to have obtained the further name of "porter."—London News. I unltlliiK «n«l Thurman.

HANCOCK •' i Dick Fremont was in an unronmntic Mate of mind. A little Cupid, which was holding a linger to its lips and , gazing at him front the top of an Ink stand on a table by his side, seemed to warn him that he had been physically exhausting himself lately. He hail been working too hard. At present he had pains ail over his body. Ills tougue was distinctly discolored, and ills pulse was weak. Ills head was throbbing, and there was scarcely a portion of his body which did not ache. Loss of time meant loss of money to him, for ho wrote for a living. If he did not work he was perfectly aware that some one else would get ahead of him. Not that he had easily given up, but the task of putting words together had proved in his present condition its hard as carving blocks of stone. In his extremity he thought of a doctor. Of all medical tnen he had a horror. At the moment, however, there seemed to be no excuse for not con "WHV, MAY *llss MoNTUOMEItY YOU?" quering his aversion, so lie dispatched a bellboy with orders to bring the near est medical practitioner In a hurry. He had made a heroic effort to fore stall any aid from such a source. On the table near by were bottles of all sizes aud shapes, containing nearly ev- , cry advertised patent medicine which he thought suited to his peculiar com plaint. He had partaken of them ail with much the same result as if he 1 had drunk a "hazing" concoction. At last he had given up all hope of suc cessful self treatment and resigned himself to a dubitatlve trial "112 "kill or cure" tit the hands of a doctor.

It is the night set apart for the walking abroad of spirits, both of the visible and Invisible world. One of the special characteristics at tributed to this mystic evening Is the faculty conferred on the immaterial principle of man to detach itself from the body and wander abroad through the realms of space. Divination, or second is believed then to attain its I ghost [i iw hI the gift asserted J b.v iMendower of calling spirits from "the vasty deep" becomes then at the command of all who choose to avail themselves of the privileges of the oc casion. There Is a remarkable uni formity in the fireside customs of this night In all parts of Great Hrltaln. Nuts and apples are everywhere in requisition and are consumed in im mense quantities. Indeed, the name Nutcrack night, by which Halloween is known in the north of England, indi cates the predominance of nuts in the entertainments of the evening. They are not only cracked and eaten, but are made the means of divining and proph esying in love affairs. Apples are also used in many of the evening games for ' the same purpose.

Nevertheless the Tories regarded with distrust persons who did not use hair p iwder. So late as 1820 a certain Major fox of Derby, an excellent Tory, declined to allow his son to become a pupil of a well known clerical tutor, for the reason that the clergyman did not powder and that he wore his hair short, which suggested that he must bo a daugeroii- revolutionist.
