THE WIDOW'S ARRIVAL,
It was "steamer diy" at Sitka, nml
ntuid all the joyous stir and excite
ment that th monthly boat brought
was one forlorn, unuuppv man, Tom
Iouglas watched his friends as they
cigerly opened their letters and
listened with assumed interest to tlm
bit i;f news they were attxiotts to share
for at Sitka the population t linings to
the wharf when the sti timer's whistle is
h.'.ir.l and waits thecomiug of the ship
and tho distribution of the mails. The
people crowd into the till v postolllce
on the dock uud watch impatiently for
the longed-for home letters.
Hut Tom's home, letter was uot a
comfort to him. "Well, sho is really
coming," he thought, "a month from
to-day, if the steamer is on time. I
will be a married tnim worse luck.
How can lever tell Natulia, dear little
girl! I wouldn't willingly hurt her
tender feelings for a milliau dollars,
as hard up as I am," and Tom whistled
ruefully.
Tom Douglas was n naval ollicer,
and before being stitiono 1 at Sitka ho
had been on duty a w inter in Wash
ington, where he plunged into society
with that gay abandon that oulv a
sailor knows, for after three years at
sea a young fellow is quite ready for
the rush and whirl of the gay capital.
All houses were open to tho handsome
Lieutenant, but there was one where
ho was especially welcome. Tho hos
toss was a pretty widow of some twenty-six
or twenty-seven years of age.
Her husband, who had died soon after
their marriage, seemed not to have
laid n very strong hold on her affec
tions, for after mourning him deco
rously for a year she blossomed into
tho gayest of tho gy, and her house
became a ceuter for the young ollieers
who had beeu the friends of her hus
band. It was there that Tom spent most of
his time. He dropped in during the
morning and discussed the newest gos
sip or the latest magazines and came
in for a cup of tea iu the afternoou
aud remaiued till her oozy parlor wsa
empty save for himself and her.
"Are yon going to the assembly to
night?" he would ask.
"Will you be there, Tom?" Mrs.
Deeriug had such a good-fellowship
way of using her friends' llrst names.
"Yes, I presume so,"
"Well, then, I am going," the little
widow would itly -
And that was the way the winter
passed Tom ruuuiug in at all hours,
privileged to smoko or to read, to talk
or listen, the most indulged of all her
callers. When his orders came for
his immediate removal to Aluska he
put the document iu his pocket and
went, as usual, to the cheery home of
Mrs. Deeriug. He told her the news
and was really surprised and fluttered
by her reception of it. She took both
his huuds in hers, uud the tears guth
erod in her bright eyos,
"Oh, Tom," she suid, "I huta to
huvo you go."
Now, it never had occurred to
Lieutenant Douglas before, but at this
moment tho idea did coma to him that
ho was iu love with tho widow. He
drew her to him uud kissed awuy her
ti-urp, and before ho knew it hj was
engaged to Alice Deeriug,-
He soon left, ufter arranging to
have Alice join him later in the sum
mer, but owing to the losiof u distant
relutive, the heir of whose modest
estate she was, her couaiug hud been
greatly delayed. It was now more
thau a year niuce she and Tom had
purted in Washington. Iu the mean
time Tom had wuiled away his leisure
hours in the somewhat narrow circle
of Sitka sooiety, but iu that narrow
bound he had found a fair Russian
flower that he kuew bloomed for him.
Though Tom had not made love to
Natalia ho was too ' honorable for
that they huJ bdu together con
stantly, aud each knew distinctively
what was iu the. other's heart.
"I believe I'll go uhd tell Natalia
all," Tom Continued to muse, "right
now, for, of course, as a gentleman
and dflioer 1 am bound to keep my
word, and my word is given to marry
Alice, hang it 1 I wish I had never
been born. She, too, poor girl, may
discover that my love has somewhat
cooled. If it ever was love it never
was the sntne feeling I have for dear
little Natalia, bless her loving heart."
So Tom went to Natalia and told
her that lie was engaged and another
mouth would see him married.
Hrr delicate face whitened, but con
trolling herself, she said:
"I congratulate you, Mr. Douglas."
Then bursting into tears, she turned
away. The sight of her teors was too
much for Tom. I'.mbraciug her ten
derly, he said : "I love but yon, Na
talia, darling. Oh, that I hnd met
you llrst I Mv fondness for Alice whs
but a fleeting thing, and my love for
yo't w ill hist forever. "
l'ressing warm kisses on her lips he
held her close.
"Leave me, Tout. It is right for
you to keep your word, but you should
have told me of your engagement be
fore. We had In st part now. (lood-
"Hut can't I come to sec you, Na
talia, as usual?"
"Why, certainly not, Mr. Douglas.
It would only be painful, for we can
never from this time forward be any
thing but the most formal of friends."
Tom was touched by the simple
dignity of the young Kiissiuit girl,
whose ipiiet lifo hsd been spent by
I the seashore under the shadow of tho
mountains, far from tlm noise of city
or town, so ho bowed to her will.
Their parting was a heart breaking
one to both.
"Natalia, I can't bear to leave you.
I must have von, dearest."
"There, go now. This is ouly fool
ish." "Well, thou, let me kiss you for the
last time, darling," pleaded Tom.
Natalia put up her little tear
stained face, and Tom silently ki.-sed
her and weut away.
That mouth passed only too ipiick
ly for poor Tom, who looked with
dread toward the coming of the
steamer. He studiously avoided Na
talia, denying himself the regular
afternoou walk to the Judiun ltiver,
which is the eveut of the day to ull
the white people at Sitka. He kept
close to his rooms when not on board
ship, cursing tho mistake of his life,
which was soon to make an unwilling
bridegroom of him.
To Natalia, whose soft browu eyes
were red with weeping, life seemed a
dreary blank now that the daily visits
of Tom had ceased. There iippenred
in her mental horizon nothing for
which to live. She wondered how sho
had existed before he came to Sitka.
But then she had been busy with her
lessons, and now, iu the idea of her
old fashioned father, her simple
education was complete, and it was
time for her to mory one of the Rus
sian lads who sought her hand.
Tho next "steamer day" Tom Doug
las was seen rushing madly to Na
talia's home. Tho neighbors, who, of
course, hnd noted his long absence,
wore greatly surprised.
"Natalia! Natalia!" he cried, as
soou as she came into the qtiaiut draw
ing room to receive him. "I've come
tirwli yi. ti to be my wife. Dearest,
say yes at once."
"Why, Tom, are you crazy? What
bus become of Alice?"
"Well, by Odorge, Natalia, she is
married! Just think of it muiried!
Aud I am the happiest man on earth.
A pardoned couvict's feelings of relief
are not to be compared to mine. You
see, soon ufter sho left Washington
she met an old sweetheart whom she
hud cast oft' to marry Mr. Deeriug,
whose position and prospects scorned
better. In the meuu time this fellow
had made a fortune, and as ho was on
his way to Alaska for a pleasure trip
they decided to make it also a wedding
trtp and break tho news to me iu pur
sou. -Hither awkward, you might
think, but I congratulated them with
it!l my heart and thanked my stars for
freedom. Come, little girl, put on
your hat and I'll take you dowu to thu
steutnor to see the bride, aud I'll in
troduce to her my fiaueee, becauso
you say 'yes,' don't you dear?"
"I suppose so, Tom, but it's all ao
sudden. Shall I wear my leghoru
hat?" Chicigo News.

"I'm afraid," said the bicyole girl,
"that we are getting altogether too

mother. "We are getting positively

Strangest Insert In the World,
The aweto, as the Maoris, or na
tives ot New Zealand, call it, or the
hipitalls virescenn, as naturalists term
it, is found in New Zealand, and is a
vegelnble caterpillar of from three to
four inches iu length, and so fr.r sci
ence has not been able to say whether
it is a vegetable or nti insect. It is
always found at tho foot of largo myr
tle trees that have beautiful red flow
ers on their stems, and a beatilifut
creeping clematis n white ns the
snow. Tlm Maoris call this tree by
tho name of rata. The aweto buries
itself among the roots of the rata, a
few inches below the ground, and
there lives uutil it is full grown, when
it undergoes a most wonderful change.
The spore of a vegetable fungus,
termed by naturalists sophoeriit ro
bertsil, fastens itsulf to tlm neck of
the catarpillar, just between the head
and the first ring, and then grows up
wards to the height of from six to
eight inches. Many people assert
that there is never more tliuu one
stem, but such is not the case, for
some have been found with two stems,
although very rarely. The stem
shoots up out of tho ground, above
where the catarpillar is living, about
two or three inches : below the earth
it grows into the aweto, until it (ills
up every possible space within the
outer skin without changing the form
of the insect iu the slightest wav
whatever, but simply substituting ii
vegetable matter for nnimal matter.
As soon as this takes place both thu
plant and the caterpillar become dry
and hard and die, but retain exactly
the same form ns when alive. The
whole hits a brown color, aud the in
sect appears a wooden caterpillar.
with n huge horn standing up from
the buck of its nock. How the cater
pillar manages to propagate its species
no otio csn tell. Usually the cater
pillar becomes a chrysalis, the chrys
alis changes into a moth, the moth
lays eggs mid these eggs again become
caterpi liars, and so on without stop
ping. Many reasons are given why
the plant shoots up from thu back of
the nick of the aweto. One is that
the aweto has aslimy substance oozing
out from its neck, which, while the
aweto is boring nt the foot of the rata
tree for its only food, catches the seed
of the fungus und holds it fust there
till the latter begins to grow. When
it has sucked all the vegetable lifo out
of the aweto il must naturally die, for
it finds no other nourishment. The
aweto is often found iu largo num
bers.
Varying KabilaUs,
Over parts of tho great eipuitoriil
region of calms iu the great oceans
there is almost constant precipitation
in heavy showers, rain fulling on the
average about seven hours out of the
twenty-four all the year rouud. Thore
ar however, some notable exceptions
which qualify this broad general state
ment. At tho Island of Ascension
ouly two or three inches of lain full
iu a year; aud there are numerous
islands iu the l'ucitlc, near the equa
tor, which are practically rainless, as
is evidenced by their possessing de
posits of guano. Tho other chief
ruiuy regions aro those localities where
moist winds meet mountain ranges,
and tire forced upward, purling with
their moisture during tho ascent such
as the Khasia Hills, the Western
ti limits, the western coasts of the Brit
ish Isles, of Norway, North America,
Southern Chili, and of Now Zealand,
which are exposed to winds, blowing
over extensive oceans and depositing
their moisture on tho llrst coasts they
meet. '
The iiiiuless regions of tho globe
owe their uridity to the fact that tliev
are shut oil' from tho influence of moist
winds by high mountain chains. Tho
chief of these nro I'pper Kgypt, tho
Sahara, the Desert of (lolii, and tho
const of Tern. The driest piueo iu tho
world is probably thut part of Egypt
between the two lower fulls of the
Nile. Ituiu has never boou known to
fall there, mid tho inhabitants do uot
believe truvelers who tell them that
water cuu fall from the sky. The great
trade winds at the starting points of
their paths are the cause of drought
and barrenness, but where they cross
laud at thu termination of their course
they give out bounteous ruin supplies.
Tho contrasts thus ottered are very
striking. Thus, some parts of the
Moroccan Sahara uear tho head of the
northeastern Atlantic trade wind, do
uot experience a shower for perhaps
twenty years at a time; while the same
wind, when it reaches the coast of
South America, produces a raiufull

water to half till a quart bowl. Theu
thicken with flour nud set the bowl iu
a Ki ttle of warm water. About the
right temperature at this season ot the

should be light enough to till the

when it took four hours. Two quarts
of milk or milk unit water, one table
spoon salt and n little sugar with your
quart of rising must be stirred to a
thick batter in a largo pan, giving
plenty of room to rise. This should
be placed over your kettle of warm

It should rise iu an hour, but be sure
it is light if it takes two hours. Mix
into loaves. This makes four iu my
