Letty, having come to Albion for the special purpose of seeing Dan Johnson, was disappointed when the bookkeeper fn Greeley’s hardware store told her in a cold manner that Mr. Johnson was Bot in. She would have questioned her further, but the girl turned away pert- ly, and seeing that sne was expected to go, Letty left the store, tears of jealousy filling her big black eyes. She had tramped all the way from Boone to see Dan, and then not to find him in and to be spoken to in such a way by a girl who wore her hair down over her eyes was almost too much, she told herself. But she was pretty, Letty had to admit that, and her clothes were quite different from her own. She looked down fiercely at her simple cot- ton dress and her stout boots, covered with the dust of the country roads over which she had come to see Dan. She was rushing along half blindly, when, in turning a corner of the street ghe nearly collided with a young man. A look of glad surprise swept over her face, “Why, Dan!” she cried, “Dan!” But the welcome she expected did not come. Instead the young man spoke almost coldly. ‘Hello, Letty,” he said. “So you're in town today; do- ing some trading, I reckon. I’ve just been out to lunch. I've got to hurry back. ® “You know you said if I was in town to be sure and come and see you, SO I went to the store,” returned Letty, in a calm voice. “She said you wasn’t in, and came away.” “Oh, you mean Miss Merton. Isn’t she pretty, Letty?” he asked, enthu- siastically. “Yes, she’s pretty.” a tremor in Letty Wood's voice. you getting along well, Dan?” Dan Johnson's manner grew a little more gracious as he answered: “Yes, Letty, I'm getting along fine. Greeley’s going "to open another store down in Crow’s Hollow before a great while and I’m Going so well that I expect he will let me manage this one. I reck- on I'm about the best hardware man around this part of the country.” “Right glad I be to hear that, Dan.” The girl hesitated a moment. She was thinking of the promise Dan had made only a few months before; but now he seemed to have forgotten that he had ever professed to be anything more than an acquaintance. “Your ma said you was home last Sunday,” she said at last. “I didn’t know but what you'd drop over to see us.” The young man locked a little sheep- §sh. Perhaps at that moment he re- membered how often he had called on Letty not so very long ago. “I didn’t have time,” he said. “Of course, if I'm going to be manager of the only hard- ware store in Albion, as you might say, I’ve got to be studying more or less, and—’ “your old friends ain’t good enough for you, I see,” burst out Letty, who could not control herself any longer. “I reckon I'd better be moving on.” “Don’t feel that way Letty—you know I want to amount to something!” “You ain’t even asked how your ma is,” said Letty, abruptly, “but I reckon you ain’t got no time now to think of any of us.” “Mother isn’t sick, is she?” Dan ask- ed, in great alarm. He was very fond of his mother. “Not sick, There was not, “Bo exactly, but she don’t feet extra well. I'm going in to see Lor on my way back. If she should take sick, Dan, I can let you know.’ “But mother isn’t going to be sick,” he said almost fiercely. “I couldn’t bear that. I know she won't get sick. You tell her I shall come home to see her Sunday. Now I've got to get back to work. Good-by, Letty.” Choking back tears, Letty bade him good-by; and she held herself under control until she nad left the village far behind. Then she threw herself down under a tree by the roadside, and sobbed as if her heart would break. Dan Johnson had come to Boone from the East six years ago, and Letty and he had liked each other from the first, and before he had gone to Al- bion to work in Greeley’s he had called on Letty regularly, and there had been the understanding between them that as soon as he got enough saved to fur- pish a home they would be married. But the moment success was in sight he had forgotten all about what he head said and seemed to be ashamed of her. Letty told herself angrily tr at the girl in Greeley’s was to blame for it &il, and she hated her. After a while she dried her tea s and way to see Dan’s mother, as she had told him she would. She found her very ill and dispatched a farm hand for a doctor at once. She wanted to send word to Dan, but Mrs. Johnson would not allow her to do so, as she said it would only worry him, and he was coming home Sunday, anyway. When the doctor came he told them that it was a bad case of rheumatic fever, and that she needed the best of nursing. The fact that Pan nad ceased to care for her did not prevent Letty from of- fering her services without a moment's hesitation; and in the weeks that fol- lowed she nursed Mrs. Johnson quite as tenderly as if she had been her own mother. Dan came hone as often as he could, and as he watched Letty caring for his mother, he grew ashamed of the way he had previously treated her. Finally after a long seige, Mrs. John- son grew better slowly, and then there was occasion for great thankiulness. Her recovery she owed wholly to Let- ty’s tender nursing, she said. One Saturday evening during her convales- cense Dan came home looking very sober and distressed., A little later he told Letty what the trouble was. “I—I’'m not going back to—Gree- ley’s,” he faltered. : “Not going back to Greeley?” cried Letty. “No, I—he don’t need me any longer —he’s got another man.” “Why, Dan, you was gctting along fine, and you thought you was going to be manager—” = “I was the only one that thought 50,” he laughed, somewhat bitterly. “I've been a conceited idiot, Letty.” “But you can get another place,” she comforted him. “And it won't make no difference to her.” “It does make a difference to her, though I don’t care now. ‘Why, Letty, she isn’t half the girl you are. I treat- ed you mean and I know it, and yet you came here and did just the same for mother as you would have for your own. I’m not worthy to speak to you, and—" “Don’t say that, Dan. I ain’t got nothing against you, and I—I ain’t no different from what I was hefore you went to Greeley’s to work.” “You don’t mean—you can’t mean that you—care for me after all this,” he cried. “I do with all my heart,” she an- swered. He gathered her in his arms ‘and kissed her tenderly, almost reverently. “It may be foolish, Dan,” ‘she whis- pered, “but when a woman loves it’s her way to love througn everything.”— From the Boston sunday Post PHOTOGRAPHS ON APPLES. Also on Tomatoes and Pumpkins— How It Is Done. It is a simple matter to print photo- graphs upon the ordinary red apple, the tomato and smooth skinned pump: kin, particularly at a certain stage, of its ripening, bears a strong resem- blance to photographic plates and printing paper, for the reason that it is sensitive to light. It is this sensi- tiveness that where a leaf intervenes so as to cut off the light close to the pumpkin, apple or tomato, will print a silhouette as it were in green upon the red or yellow ground. «I first hunted out an apple having a leaf close to its surface,” says a writer in St. Nicholas, “placed a piece of glass benedth the leaf and on it cut my initials with a sharp knife. I then removed the glass and pasted the leaf firmly to the apple so it would not be blown away by the wind, and left it for a week. “At the end of that time I took the apple, soaked off the leaf and found my initials in bright red on a light green ground having the outline of the leaf. My success prompted me to try an ac- tual photograph, or one printed from a photograph negative. “] selected some apples of the red variety that were yet green and en- cased them in bags made of the black paper in which plates and paper are usually packed. These bags were left on for ten days to exclude the light and add to the sensitiveness of the surface. “At the end of this time the bags were removed and film negatives were pasted in position by using the white of an egg. This white of an egg I found later to be the only adhesive that would not show in the print. “In order that all except the image when printed might be green, the ap- ples were again enclosed in the pro- tecting bags, this time an opening a little larger than the portrait being cut opposite the film. This acted much as would a vignetting device over a printing frame and greatly enhanced the results. “Other apples recorded negatives made by scratching monograms, ini- tials and sketches in spoiled films with an etching knife and attached in the same manner, and provided with the same protection for the remainder of the surface. The richness of color and wealth of detail that can be se- cured in this way is astonishihg. “A week was allowed for printing. The fine, deep red of the picture upon the'delicate green of the ground must be seen to be fully appreciated. Only nature could give just the exact tones of the two colors that would harmonize so perfectly. The method for printing tomatoes or pumpkins is the same as for apples.” Halcyon Days. Halcyon is the Greek for a king- fisher, compounded of “hals,” the sea, and “kuo,” to brood on. The ancients were of the opinion that the kingfisher laid its eggs and sat on them during the fourteen days just before the sum- mer solstice, throughout which time the waves of the sea were always un- ruffed. Hence the “halcyon days”’-— the days of happiness and peace.— of pre-Adamite memory? PEARLS OF THOUGHT. Is children’s love of animals a sort: That is a good school of which the best part is not in the playground. Do not “make much” of your chil- dren; but help them to make much of life. Imagination is our most precious gift; it is made or marred in child- hood. The mother who hesitates between the call of fashion and that of the nursery—is lost! Children like to play at being some- body else. If you can fathom the rea- son, you are wise. You force your child to obey you, though you know it is the motive, not the act, that counts. Children are naturaly imitative; re- member not to mistake their imita- tions for themselves. Never disturb the “make believe” games of your children. Angels are their playmates in them. You cannot show too much love to your children; but it is your self-love, not your love, that spoils them. Do your child’s questions seem to you foolish? Patient and wise answers will by and by make them less so." A child's untruths are ot always lies; they may be glimpses of truth higher and more permanent than mere fact. Every child is a fresh messenger of innocence to man, lacking which our souls would presently shrivel up from spiritual hunger and thirst. The most valuable criticism of the school curriculum is to be derived from statistics of what children re- member after leaving school. Wor children’ complaining of an at- tack of reading, writing and arithme- tic, prescribe a bath of music, a dose of poetry and a tonic of open air ex- ercise.—From ‘Concepts of Child- hood,” by Constance Sydney in the New York Telegram. JAPANESE WCMAN THIEF. Captain of a Band of Female Robbers That Had Stolen From 100 Houses. A Japanese woman named Tora (or tiger), who had come to be known in the robber class that she had joined as “Tora, the Serpent,” has just been ar- rested by the Kojimachi police in the grounds of Hachiman Temple, Fukag- awa. In her early years—she is now 43— | she was very beautiful, and held many situations as a nurse, always with a good name for industry and faithful- ness. It was her good looks and an admirer that brought her dismissal by her master, and from that time she turned to make her living by prey. At the age of 30 she was captain of a gang of female thieves. At Kama- kura she saw an old gentleman and pretended to be in a fit. He tended her kindly, but while he was busy she ob- stracted £10 from his bag. With this money she traveled to the capital, where she continued her depredations. She called at the house of Count Mat- sudajra and, representing herself as a poor woman deserted by her husband, worked upon the sympathy of the coun- tess, who engageu her as handmaid. She soon gained the esteem of the family, who treated her almost as a reiative. Afier a few months the whole house- hold went on a flower viewing excur- sion, leaving Tora alone at homie. She proceeded to collect all the valuables she could lay hands on, loaded them on three large wagons and made off. A senience of imprisonment did not alter her, and before her last arrest she had robbed nearly a hundred houses and stolen money and goods amounting to thousands cf pounds. She now expresses a desire to marry a cer- tein humble, honest citizen.—Japan Times. Tactfully Shooed Away. Lady Duff-Gordon was describing, at a dinner in New York, the visit that she paid to Chinatown under the able guidance of Chuck Connors. “It was a most interesting visit,” Lady Duff-Gordon said; “but I could not understand the English of my guide, nor could I understand the intri- cacies of the opium-smoking, the Chi- nese acting and the other strange and novel things I saw. “Altogether, I must have appeared very ignorant, as ignorant as the York- shireman who came to London to see our famous British Museum. “Unfortunately, the Yorkshireman chose a close day for his visit, and the policeman at the gate, when he pre- sented himself there, waved him away. «gut I must come in,’ said the Yorkshireman. ‘I’ve a holiday on pur- pose.’ «No matter, said the guardian. “This is a close day, and the museum is shut’ “ ‘What!
