in telegraphy without wiros are trying
for tbe ndoption of "ethciio tolcg
ruphy," because the impulses nro
conveyed by the ether, but the preva
lent expression in conversation nnd
tbe newspaper ia "wireless telegra
phy," and it is ready to stick. An
electrical journnl opened its columns
lately to a competition for a go-.vl word
to describe electric carriage, and
"electromobile" bus been Relected, but
it ia doubtful if it will "Mick." An
other electrical journal contnins some

which "septerg" and "deoitlu" may
be qnoted as graceful examples. Tbe

Chief Simon Fokagon. Tba mooting
was held under tbe council-tree near
Hartford, Mich., and tbe yonng men
present proposed an innovation in
Imitation ot tbe white man, that tbe
ehiet be chosen by ballot. But the
old men objected to this, and argued
o stoutly for tbe maintenance of the
ancient traditions of the people that
the young men gave way. Two veter
ans were selected to be candidates for
chief, and tbe chairman of tbe council
conducted one to the eastern side of
the tree and the other to tbe western.
Then be directed the members of the
council to form a line around the man
they wished to elect with tbe result
that one John Mix, a man seveuty-flve
yean old, and a brother-in-law of
Simon Pokagon, was chosen chief.
All tbe speeches delivered during the
eouucil, which lasted for two days,
were given in both English and Indian,

understand the latter tongue, and
many of thoold men could not uuder

Aa he roHiiuiod hia hoeing hia
thoughts wont back to tlio years wheu
the relations botween him nnd Minn
Minorva had not been in their present
strained condition; to that unlucky
evening whou a dineiiHsiou arose as to
the proper mode of hnptinm. He had
contended thut sprinkling was sulll
cieut, aud Miss .Minerva had hold out
for iiiimoi'Hioii. That wan long before
Klizabetu Ann had come to live with
her aunt. Mr. Duhbs had cfteu told
her about thj quarrels.
"Aud she's uover taken any notice
of mo since. I triad ouce to niuke it
tip. Audit wns strnnge about that,
too," ho had nddnd thoughtfully.
Elizabeth Ann had wondered how ho
had tried to make it up, but bad not
liked to nsk.
"Did you aoe hini on bia own aide
before you came back?" asked Miss
Minorvn wheu Elizabeth Ann weut
back' to her interrupted dishwashing.
"Yea'in," answerod Elizabeth Ann.
".Sasty little beastl"ejnoulated Miss
Minerva.
When the last dish had boon plaeo 1
iu the closet and tlio kitcheu put iu
spotless order Elizabeth Ann weut
into the sitting room.
"If everything's done you may have
the afternoon to youraelf," said Miss
Minerva, who was now tranquilly
knittiug, and Peter curled up uu a
cushion near her.
Elizabeth Anu stood awhile looking
out of the window. She wan unde
cided whether to go down to tbe fence
aud talk with Mr. Dobbs or to fo np
to the attic, lint she saw that it was
beginning to rain, and reflected that
Mr. Dobbs would nut continue hoeing,
for be had been having rheumatio
twinges lately. So with some regret,
nhe decided iu favor of the at'io, for,
great as were the charms which the
Stter plnre bad for her, Mr. Dobbs'
sooiety possessed a stronger attraction.
He told her such interesting stories
and listeued to all of her confidences
so attentively, and be uever told her
not to be foolish, as Miss Minerva bad
done wheu she bad ventured to com
municate her thoughts to her.
"Don't get into minohief," Miss
Minerva called out as Elizabeth Anu
left tbe room.
There was an old-fashioned trunk
U odds aad ends which Miss Minerva
had told her she could have to play
with,proviled"she kept thnm tidily.1'
Elir.abetli Anu had not yet explored
to the bottom of the trunk. Hlie
would do so today. There were pieces
ot ribbons and I see, ends of embroi-
tltll'V. ROtim lilltlelinn nf ni'l I Iteltit ltfilfral-n
and' various other nrtielnn of cast off

thn trunk, something wna folded In

(ipnnn I It nml a long lloinnn si art fell
out in glistening folds. It wna aoft
nud fine, and of bountiful coloring;

Hlie hud n pnnsioti for rich colors, nud

Fliiibelh Ann smoothed nut tlio
aoft folds ngnin nnd nKiiin. It would
innke such a lovely aasli, aim thought.
How had her mint ever thrown it
iiniile? Min passed it nboiit her wnNt
nnd tied it in n bow with loops that
fell lo tlio bottom of her skirt. A lay
of sunlight flushed through thn lit tic
w indow. Why, it bud Hot ruined much
lifter nil. Hlie would run down to tlio
orchard nnd sen if llr. Dobbs wero
out. Hlie must show Hint ami f. Mr.
Dublin liked pretty thiugn too. Ho
aim crept quietly down ataira and
nvoidiug tlio sitting room went out of
a aide door, if Minn Minerva riiw
her Mtli the Ri nif on, she would tell
her not lo hn foolish.
IMisa Minerva wan still knitting
plneidly and l'eter purred nt her feet,
when, chancing to glniicn out
of tlio window, she beheld a night
which Hindu hot' suddenly nit up still
nnd erect in her elinlr.- Mr. Dublin
crossing the ynritl lie ciiinn ou with
a long, rnphl stride that in few
moments biuigbt him to thn Hitting
room door, which ha opened nftor n
wnriiiiig knock. Minn Minerva turned
her stern gray eyea upon liitu in cold
inquiry, lln held n gay colored ailk
scurf in hia hand.
"Minerva, why didn't you send it
back na 1 linked yon, and thou I'd ''
known nud not waited nud waited nn

fully.nn hn looked nlternntely nt the

Thn latter made no nuswer.ninl Mr.
Dobba went on: "Our not ngroeiu'

Miss Minerva now found volco,
"lonuthnu Dobbs, will you tell mo

frigidly.
llo hold out tlio scarf. "Why didn't
you send it buck, if you didn't want
mo?"
Minn Minerva stared at him In over
growing astonishment. " don't know
what you nru talking about, Heinl it
back? I never saw the thing before."
"In thnt really bo, Minervu?" ho
asked, eagerly.
"JtS pot my linbit to lio," replied
Misa Minorvn, icily.
"i'vo often hud misgivings thnt
there vnn some mistake. I never bad
the eourngn to nsk you nboiit It", for
you know bow you treaiod u,o rlion
wo mot. Turning nway yemr bond

lUiHg Minerva losn impatiently.
"What nro you talking about? What
hnvo I to do with that silk thing?"
"Well, Minerva, I'll go over the
w hole thing, i s'posu you romeinbai'
out ui'gltmeiit nboiit bapti.iu'. 1 talked
the way did just to teann you, but
you took it ull for enrnest. Now, I
had had it in mind fur a long timo to
ask you a certain question nnd a day
or two after our iuisiin''erstandiug I
was down to tlio city on liURiuosa nnd
saw a lot of silk things like thin iu a
shop window nud the Indion wan a-weur-in'
them around their necks no I just
thought I'd buy one nud solid it to
you a id nt the samo time nsk you thut
quoHtion. I writ a littlo note and sent
it. It wan tolliu' you if you wan will
iu' to be Mir. Dobbs to wear it to
moetiu' the next Sunday, aud if not
to seud it back. Hut you didn't wenr
it to meitin' nud you didn't scud it
back."
As Miss Minorva listonnd, hor stern
face relaxed and a softened light shone
in her eyes. Jiofore Mr. Dobba had
finished she turned her gaze to tlio
window and there was a little flush iu
her (books.
"I never had a note from you nnd I
never saw thut scurf before," she snid
quickly.
"I sent them by the hired man."
"That was the Rummer Cousin Mat tie
KiuiiuoiiB was with me. Likely I was
out nud he left them with her. You
know what a aentter-bi niu she is."
The color had deepened in Miss
Minerva's cheeks aud there was none
of her accustomed severity of manner.
She looked d wn at the scarf in Mr.
Dobbs' hand. "But where did you
get it now?" she asked suddenly.
"Elizabeth Ann found it iu your
attic nud
"Elizabeth Ann!" repented Miss
Minerva.
"Nevermind about her, Minerva
Will you' take it? You know the con
ditions." . "It is a good quality of silk," she
said, quietly. ''But you know, Jona
than, I'm too old to wear suck gay
colors."
Mr. Dobbs laughed contentedly.
"Plenee yonrself, Minerva, so long as
you take it."
