§ THE BEGINNING ‘
A Love STORY.
Queer Mistake Which Brought About :
Happy Results.
ved]
It was just 4 o’cleck in the morning
when MissClarissa Steel crept quiet-
ly down stairs and cut at the side door.
She stood for a moment on the broad
stone step and took a long, free
breath, then she went down the gravel
walk into the street. She turued away
from the village, and, as if with a

7 definite object in view, walked swift-
ly toward the fields and hills to the
north.
It was only since April that Elm-
ville had taken a lively interest in
birds. It had known vaguely that
there were birds within its borders—
English sparrows, an oriole or two,
and out in the country crows, perhaps
a few jays. This limited ornitholog-
ical knowledge had satisfied Elm-
ville, and when it heard that in Bos-
ton it was the thing to rise early,
take one's opera glasses and go
“birding” it had smiled indulgently.
That, however, was two years ago and
Elmville was 200 miles from Boston.
A hundred miles a year was quite
fast enough for a fad to travel toward
Elmville, but when it finally arrived
it was received with enthusiasm.
The little village suddenly awoke
to the fact that there were birds in
its trees of which it had never
dreamed, and birds in its fields and
pastures whose very names it had
never heard. It began to talk wisely
of vireos and warblers, red-starts and
flickers. Quiet folk who had known
of birds all their lives suddenly found
themselves in great demand. This
popularity might have turned their
heads had it lasted long enough, but
when it was discovered that there
were questions which they could not
answer they were promptly made to
know their proper place and to feel
like impostors who have been found
out.
The newly aroused interest in birds
took different forms. There were
some who made up parties and took
long walks in the woods, where they
talked and laughed so loudly that all
the birds fled before them. This class
enjoyed the bird walks greatly and
went every week. Then there was
young Mrs. Goodnow, who had seen
more birds than any one else in town,
but whe could not tell the song of a
rose-breasted grosbeck from that of
a cuckoo, declaring naively that she
did not care anything about the noises
the birds made. Others
how she could know so many birds
when she did not have her ears to
help her, but she had a very fine pair
of field glasses and unlimited time.
There were the two elder Misses
Steele, who contented themselves
with looking from windows into the
tops of the elm and maple trees which
grew about their home, and there was
their sister Clarissa, who on this
beautiful June morning, was out in
the country at a little after 4.
It was 7 when she walked up the
path to the side door. She was tired
and very hungry, but she was also
happy and had a quantify of . bird
news to tell her sisters.
was ready and a delicious odor of hot
coffee came out to her through the
screen door, and she went in eagerly.
She hung her hat in the entry, then
passed on to the dining room.
Usually she greeted her sisters
with a cheery good morning, but this
time she had hardly crossed the
threshold before she was aware that
something was wrong. A quick
glance at Elinor and Caroline showed
her that it must be something very
wrong indeed. Her heart began to
beat faster and all the happiness
seemed suddenly to have gone out of
the worning. She locked timidly at
her sisters and they stared at her in
stony silence.
“What is the matter?”

to ask that question, Clarissa Maria,
Elinor said in a hollow voice.
“No, I should not think so,” echoed
Caroline.
Now it was only about once in three
years that she did anything bad
enough for them to call her Clarissa
Maria, and at that moment she felt
that life was too full of bitterness to
She sank weakly down in
a chair and waited.
“To think,” began Caroline, in a
tone of sadness and reproof, “to think
that you should disgrace us, and not
only us, but the good name of our
family, by making your pretended
interest in birds an excuse for going
out mornings and - carrying on a
flirtation——"
“A scandalous flirtation,” inter-
rupted Elinor.
“Yes, a scandalous flirtation with |
Deacon Upton.”
Clarissa started to her feet with a
little cry. “I—I never did,” she gasped,
while the color rose in her face.

“Yes kissed your hand to him,”
i finished Caroline, as Elinor paused
and seemed unable to go on. “Yes,

lustrated,

“That is a very ingenious excuse,”
said Caroline, coldly. “And how do
explain your conduct?”
There were tears in Clarissa’s eyes
now. “1 just tried to see if I could
do it,” she said, with a little sob.
“Well,” said Elinor, “I don’t know
how many people will believe you.
You know what Sally Porter is like

story to. Come sit down. things will
be stone-cold.”
“I—dou’t want any breakfast;
I'm not hungry,” and Clarissa went
out of the room with her handker-
chief held to her eyes.
An hour later Elinor tried Clarissa’s
door and found it locked. “You'd bet-
ter come down and eat something,”
she said, but there was no answer
and she went away.
An hour after that she came again.
This time she shook the door vigor-
ously. “Clarissa,” she called in a
subdued tone, “come down stairs at
once. Deacon Upton is here and
wants to see you.”
“Oh, I can’t!” cried Clarissa, in a
frightened voice.
“You must,” said Elinor, emphatic-
ally. “He says he will wait any
length of time, but he will see you.”
When Clarissa centered the parlor
Deacon Upton rose to meet her.
“Good morning, Miss Steele,” he
said. Then they both remembered
that they had met before that morn-
ing and there was an awkward pause.
She looked down at the carpet and
he looked at her.
“I think, Miss Clarissa,” he said,
desperately, when the silence had be-
come unendurable, “I think that you
have heard the same thing that I
have.” He 1elt that he had ex sed
himself vaguely, but she understood
and nodded her head without look:
ing up. She tried to keep her lips
steady, but she could not prevent the
tears from coming. When the deacon
saw them they seemed to give him
the courage of desperation.
“I cannot express to you my regret
that I was the cause—the innocent
cause—of giving you pain. I would
do anything in my power for the
privilege of living over this morning
and omitting that scene. But only on
your account, remember,” he went on,
impetuousiy, “only on your account.
For myself, I would not care who knew

sight of everybody.”
Clarissa was looking at him now,
and the deacon moved his chair near-
er. Her cyes made him think of
drowning viclets, and he had a strong
desire to save them.
“Clarissa,” he said, “did you ever
want something very, very much,
but, knowing that it was far beyond
your reach, after a time almost for-
got that you wanted it, and deceived
yourself into thinking that you were
happy without it? Did you, Clarissa?”
She nodded.
“Well,” he went on, “that has been
my experience, and this morning some-
thing happened thatbrought it all back
to me, and—oh, Clarissa! I don’t see
how I can live without you any
longer.”
She was silent for a moment, then
she said, softly, “I don’t think you will
have to.”—Susan Brown Robbins, in

DUST FAR, FROM SHORE,
Twenty-four Barrels Swept from the Deck
of a Ship in Oae Voyage.
A “dusty” ocean highway sounds
almost incredible. Yet those who are
familiar with sailing ships know that,
no matter how carefully the decks
may be washed down in the morning
and how little work of any kind may
be done during the day, nevertheless,
if the decks are not swept at nightfall
an enormous quantity ef dust will
quickly collect. Of course, on the
modern “liner” the. burning of hun-
dreds of tons of coal every twenty-
four hours and the myriads of foot-
falls daily would account for a con-
siderable accumulation of dust, but
on a “wind-jammer,” manned with a
dozen hands or less, no such dust-
producing agencies are at work. And
yet the records of sailing ships show
that they collect more sea dust than
does a steamer, which is probably ac-
counted for by the fact that while the
dustladen smoke blows clear of the
steamer, the large area of canvas
spread by the sailor acts as a dirt
collector.
To quote an instance in support of
this contention, we may mention that
no less than 24 1-2 barrels of fine dust
were swept from the decks of an
American sailing ship during a 97
days’ voyage from New York to San
Francisco. The captain of this vessel,
a man of scientific tastes, made care-
ful cbservations on the mystery of sea
dust, but beyond the wear and tear
of the sails and rigging, a quite neg-
ligible factor, he could assign abso-
it has been asserted that the dust
decks of vessels
ible, but it 1s at variance with certain
known facts. Bits of leather, cork,
wood and vegetable fibre are almost
always present in sea dust.
Of the fact of the steady and con-
stant deposition of dust on the decks
of vessels while at sea there is no
possible room for doubt, but so far
all attempts to solve the mystery of
its origin have failed.—ILondon Ship-
ping World.

Britains Most Important Vzgetable.
If asked what was the zaost iinportant
event in the history of British vegeta-
| bles, most people would say the bringing
over of the potato from its home in
America. They would be wrong. The
introduction of the turnip—that is, of
the Swedish variety—was of much great-
er value. Until Britain got the field
turnip people had to live during the
winter chiefly on salted meat. And se-
vere winters were dreaded on account
of the terrible mortality among sheep,
, which were then left out at pasture all
through the cold weather. The growing
of Swedes changed all that by providing
cheap and wholesome food for siock
when penned up. Turnips. like so many
other vegetables, came from Holland
about 1600.—Washington Star.
