“Well, Gypsy, what is it now? An-
other new dress, some more spend-
ing money, or what?”
Mr. Thurston as he said this
looked up from his work at a dainty
little maiden who planted herself on
the broad arm of his chair.
Well might he call her Gypsy, for
she did indeed look much like a gyp-
sy queen. A fair, piquant face framed
in a mass of hair as dark as night,
eves equally dark and flashing, and
fair olive skin faintly tinted with
pink.
“Neo, daddy, I don’t want anything
particular just at present, but, of
course, if you have anything to give
I won’t refuse; but to tell the truth
it was so quiet at the house that I
just had to find something to do, so
I thought I might come down and
tease you just a little bit.”
“Oh, that’s your game, is it?" her
father said, laughing. “Well, I don't
think you will get the chance, my
dear, as I am just going down to the
bank. Do you want to come with me,
or are you going home again?”
“Oh, dear,” cried Gratia; “I don’t
want to go back home.”
‘“Well, all right, dear; you can
come with me then. Just touch the
bell, I'll have Jackson take care of
the office until I come back. I ex-
pect Phil in any time,” her father
said, pointing to a bell on his desk.
“Oh, papa; please let me mind it;
please do, all alone, papa; I'd Just
love to; will you?” questioned Gra-
tia in one breath.
“But the telephone might ring and
you wouldn't know what to do or
say,’ her father remonstrated.
*“I’11 manage that all right, you
just leave that to me,” Gratia said,
shaking her pretty head wisely.
“Well, all right; but if you need
assistance, touch the bell on my desk
and that will bring one of the clerks.
Bye! Bye!”
“I don’t know what I'm going to
do.” she exclaimed with a sigh; “I'm
snre I don’t, and I am quite sure I
shall never like anybody else half as
well as him. If he would only ask me
—oh, he is such a stupid thing, and
won't say a word,” and she sighed
ggain.
“Hello!’’ said a voice that brought
tl:e rich color flying into her cheeks.
““Hello!”’ she answered, changing
Yer voice as best she could.
“Is this 987?” said the voice.
“98” Gratia answered at a guess.
“Is that you, Phil?”
“Yes,” answered Gratia,
chievous gleam in her eye;
you, Bob?”
“Yes, are you alone?”
“All alone,” acquiesced Gratia.
“Then listen to me for a minute
and don’t laugh at me. I want your
advice, old man, for I'm in a deuced
tight fix. Say—er—you know that
pretty little cousin of yours, Gratla
—er I mean Miss Thurston?’
“Well, I just guess,” said Gratia,
trying hard to suppress the laughter
that would come.
“Well, I—do you know—do you
think—confound the luck, you know
what I mean, Phil—why can’t you
help a fellow out? Well—er—er I
love her, yes, that’s just where I'm
at, heels over head in love with her,
and yet I'm afraid she'll laugh at me,
she has such a way of laughing at a
fellow—well, and if she laughs, it's
all off with me. Now can you sug-
gest something?”
“I don’t see what I can do for you,
old man,” Gratia answered, stopping
suddenly to wonder at her own bold-
ness, and then going on, ‘““of course
1 never stopped to ask her about her
rrivate affairs.”
“Of course you didn’t, and I
wouldn't want you to,” Bob idignant-
1+ cried out.
“Now, don’t get excited yer
nothing, old chap,” retorted the lis-
tener, still greatly wondering at her
own cleverness. “I guess after all she
doesn’t exactly hate you. Suppose
vou bring her a bunch of roses to-
night—all red ones—and have a
white one in the center. I happen to
know white roses are her favorites.
Ask her to choose one to wear in Her
hair, and if she takes the white, then
ask her if she knows the language
af that flower and explain your own
case. If she refuses you, whisper
some pretty nothings in her ear and
retire from the field.
“You're a wonder,”’ exploded the
voice on the other side of the 'phone.
“j1'1] take your advice and try it this
very evening. Many thanks, old man;
good-by.””
“Good-by,” Gratia sald softly, and
hung up the receiver just as her
father came in.
“Ah!” he said, ‘‘a telephone.”
“Only somebody rang up Phil”
she answered, turning to pick up her
things.

There is no need to say how Gra-
tia’s ‘plan worked, but somehow she
found herself saying “Yes,” her
voice smothered in a coat. Phil could
never understand why Bob seemed
so grateful to him, and of course he
was best man at the wedding.
It is sald that when the tomb of
Childeric, a King of the first Frank-
ish dynasty in the fifth century, was
opened in the seventeenth century,
hundreds of golden bees were found
in it. So when the French Empire
was established the golden bee was
adopted as one of its emblems.

OUR WINTER BIRD NEIGHBORS.
way Thess Much'Traveled Little
tows APfe Surprisingly Tame.
It is surprising that there are birds
which come to us only to spend the
winter, leaving us again at the be-
ginping of spring for northern lands
and snow-banked hillsides, where the
long day and pale twilight nights of
the Arctic reign. Birds that raise
their broods in the far, treeless north-
land, where heather, grasses and
stunted alders grow on 2 shallow,
soaking soil underlaid by & great
depth of eternal ice, at the approach
of winter gather into great roving
flocks to surge southward to the gen-
tle climate of iur blizardy ‘tem
perate” winters! Yet all young coun-
try folks have seen these restless, wan-
dering flocks of winter lovers, and
occasionally even in the towns and
cities there arrive unfamiliar com-
panies of fat, fluffy birds, busily open-
ing the cones of the firs and spruces,
or devouring the buds of the maples.
Many of these much-traveled little
iellows are wonderfully tame, and
seem not to experience fear of man
so universal with animals that rear
their young in his neighborhood. Plue-
grosbeaks and crossbills, whose real
homes are in the silent, moss-filled
spruce forests of the great North, will
almost allow themselves to be caught
in your hand! With the field-roving
kinds, like the snow-buntings, horned
Jerks and longspurs, this fearlessness
{¢ not found, probably from the con-
stant lookout they are forced to keep
against the cunning and hungry white
foxes and the daring, trap-jawed lit-
tle ermine that persistently hunt them
in their northland home. But the
rosy little redpolls, the creepers,
kinglets, “little friend chicadee,” as
the northern Indians call him, and all
the other deep forest dwellers, are as
unafraid of us as they are of the gen-
tle porcupines and deer of their home
woods.—S8t. Nicholas.
The Harm of Bitter Thoughts.
We should be appalled if we could
see pass before us, in vivid panorama,
the wrecks caused in a lifetime by
cruel thought, says Success Maga-
gine. A stab here, a thrust there, a
malicious sarcasm, bitter irony, un-
generous criticism, a jealous, envious,
or revengeful thought, hatred and
enger, are all going out constantly
from many a mind on deadly mis-
sions.
Servants have actually been made
dishonest “by other persons perpetual-
ly holding the suspicion that they
were dishonest. This thought sug-
gests dishonesty to the suspected per-
haps for the first time, and being cox
ctantly held takes root and grows,
2nd bears the fruit of theft. The ola
proverb, “If you have the name, you
might as well have the game,” is put
into action many times. It is simply
cruel to hold a suspicious thought of
another until you have positive proof.
The other person’s mind is sacred; you
have no right to invade it with your
miserable thoughts and pictures ot
suspicion.
May people scatter fear thoughts,
doubt thoughts, failure thoughts
wherever they go; and these take root
in minds that might otherwise be free
from them and therefore happy, confi-
dent and successful.
Be sure that when you hold an evil,
vnhealthy, discordant, deadly thought
toward another, something is wrong
in your mind.
Learn to radiate joy, not stingily,
not meanly, but generously. Fling out
your gladness without reserve. Shea
fi in the home, on the street, on the
car, in the store, everywhere, as the
rose sheds its beauty and gives out
ite fragrance. When we learn that
love thoughts heal, that they carry
balm to wounds; that thoughts of
harmony, of beauty, and of truth al-
ways uplift and ennoble; that the op-
posite carry death and destruction and
blight everywhere, we shall learn the
secret of right living.
Russian Treasures.
All the wealth of Russia is not in
the Imperial Bank. The treasures of
the church are of fabulous value. St.
lsaac’s Cathedral in St. Petersburg
is said to have cost £10,000,000. Its
copper roof is overlaid with pure gold,
£50,000 having been melted down for
the purpose; its bronze doors are the
largest in the world, while the dome
is supported by malachite pillars
worth £200,000. In the cathedral of
Kazan the name of the Almighty
blazes in diamonds from a cloud of
beaten gold, under which are solid
silver doors twenty feet high. ‘1his
church contains the beautiful picture
of the virgin covered with gold and
jewels valued at £20,000. In the
monastery of St. Alexander Newski
is the shrine of the founder weighing
3,250 pounds of pure silver. There
are 1,400 churches in Moscow, many
of which contain priceless treasures.
ln the Cathedral of the Assumption
is the Vladimir Virgin, painted by St.
T.uke:; the jewels which adorn it are
valued at £45,000, one emerald alone
is said to be worth £10,000. Napoleon
tock from the church five tons cot
gilver and five hundredweight of gold,
but its most precious treasures were
concealed. To celebrate the deliver-
ance of Moscow from the French the
Cathedral of the Holy Saviour was
built, at a cost of £10,200,000. Its five
cupolas are covered with pure gola
one-eighth of an inch in thickness.
The robes of the Russian clergy are
the richest in the world. In the house
of the Holy Synod marvelous vest-
ments are to be seen. One is embel-
ished with the Nicene Oreed embroid-
ered in pearls. There are seven miters
studded with diamonds, rubies and
emeralds, also golden croziers of rare
worlémanship.—Sphere.

Constipation
Baked sweet apples, with some people, bring
prompt relief for Constipation. With others,
coarse all-wheat bread will have the same effect.
Nature undoubtedly has a vegetable remedy to
relieve every ailment known to man, if physicians
can but find Nature's way to health. And this is
strikingly true with regard to Constipation.
The bark of a certain tree in California~—Cas-
cara Sagrada—offers a most excellent aid to this
end. But, combined with Egyptian Senna, Slip-
pery Elm Bark, Solid Extract of Prunes, etc., this
same Cascara bark is given its greatest possible
power to correct constipation. A toothsome
Candy Tablet, called Lax-ets, is now made at the
Dr. Shoop Laboratories, from this ingenuous and
most effective prescription. Its effect on Consti-
pation, Biliousness, Sour Stomach, Bad Breath,
Sallow Complexion, etc., is indeed prompt and
satisfying.
No griping, no unpleasant after effects are ex-
perienced, and Lax-ets are put up in beautiful
lithographed metal boxes at 5 cents and 25 cents
per box.
