For the twentieth time Mark Jennyn ottered the words of farewell, and for the twentieth time the girl responded, but, realizing that the parting was not a ordinary one, they were loth to part eVen then. Years hence they might meet again; perhaps never! "And, dearest, you'll remember, If the recollection of me ever stands In fceur light, you're to forget I existed. Promise me that!" The girl looked Into the earnest fare bending over her, into the depths of the grave, brown eyes. "I cannot," she said softly. "More aver, Is It necessary T Is It what you would do were you In my place?" Her logic waa unanswerable, and he sighed. "If you were the only child of some body next door to a millionaire," she went on, "and your father forbade you to marry anyone who was not wealthy while you really loved one poor as a church mouse, woild you give up with out a struggle? Of course you wouldn't, Mark. You'd wait, end wait, and hope!" "But waiting doesn't always bring stealth," broke In Jermyn, "especially In tho musical profession. 'Why did my father ever destine me for Ills own career?" he added, bitterly. "Because It's what you're moist fit ted for," Elsie Ronton replied. "Mark, dear, you're going to be a great man." He waived away her words with a mile .and another kiss. "You flatter me, sweetheart," he Bald, "although it's true my father lira far from being a mediocrity. He changed his name on marriage, and died when I was only five years old. But his existence really ended, so far as the world was concerned, when he forsook his old name, for he nevtr composed a single thing after." "How strange!" remarked the girl, ,wonderlngly. "And w'hat a terrible ex ample to you, dearest." "You may think so. Of course, I waa too young to know much then, and never heard how it all happened, for my mother soon followed my father." "And hla name before was ?" "Wegar Mark Wegar one of the foremost composers of his time!" w n W . 9 . w ' A couple of years later Mark Jer myn was in London. It seemed much longer since he had parted from Elsie Kenton In Paris, where they had been fellow students at the Conservatoire; the, for the sake of finishing a musical education, he because he had his lu ture living to consider. In Paris the girl had been free from the hidebound conventionalities of home, and her doting parents would doubtless have been horrified had they known she bad dared to regard some ona with affection. The two had part ed; he to work for a name and she to enter society. And now he was In London, his fame baring preceded him, and Mark Jer myn, the celebrated pianist, waa an pounced to make bis debut before the most critical audlenoe in the world, Success bad not spoilt him, and he remained the same modest man that bad held Elsie's hand In his two years since; deeply, madly, in love with her till. Several times she had written to him, and with her last letter in his socket as a talUman, he faced the eager crowd that evening. The performance was a success. Mark Jermyn' reputation was more than upheld and he quickly became the Hon of the hour. Invitations from the highest In the land literally show ered upon him, so numerous, that they would have taken years to respond to all, one of the earliest coming from the Rontons offering a princely fee for short recital at a forthcoming "At Home." To this Jermyn stiffly replied that he only accepted social engage ' intents. 1 An answer soon came alter ing the tone of the Invitation, and day or two later, he found himself about to meet his loved one once more, The place was already thronged with guests when be arrived, but Elsie was the first to greet him, and as he took her band.be would have knelt down titer and then and kissed It, bad not decorum forbade. She welcomed him gayly, and be felt all at one hP- THE FLOWERS. A TUNE, i pleat of mortals, for a single look served to tell htm he held her heart still. I'm hostess for the moment," she observed. "Let me take you to mother." He followed her, and a little later was being introduced to Mrs. Renton. "Mr. Jermyn, mother!" The stately lady addressed, looked up, and as she saw his handsome, clear-cut features, started. 'Mr. Jermyn? ah, yes, of course! Your appearance seems familiar. But then, aren't your photographs all over London?" she asked. Mark bowed, but guessed by her tone that she had never seen bis por trait. He sauntered aimlessly about, con versing first with one and another, till at length he found himself addressing the host himself. And Jermyn was agreeably surprised; Elsie's father was not nearly so formidable as he had pictured him to be; on the contrary, his attitude toward the young Hon of the season was courtesy and geniality Itself. "Ah! my daughter tells me she met you In Paris," be remarked. "One of the first to dtscover your genius, I be lieve? Elsie's a dear girl, my dear sir!" "She Is" assented Mark, earnestly. "Always a dutiful girl, and a prize worth the winning," continued Mr. Renton, briskly. "It's a pity we're to lose her so soon but there! the men, the men! I was young myself once." "You mean some one will fall In love with her?" queried Jermyn, anxiously. 'Has fallen in love. Scores of them. By the way, there she is with Lord Mapleson." Mark Jermyn turned and followed the other's glance to where Elsie stood talking with the man he had noticed but a few moments before. "Are they ?" "Engaged, my dear sir, engaged. And to be married shortly.' My wife's a wonderful woman; she's arranged It all!" Mark's first Impulse was to flee, but ho resolved to learn the truth from Elsie's lips first. At last he caught her glance, following her Into a small ante-room leading from one of the principal Apartments. When the door closed, he took her hand, and looked into her eyes. "Elsie," he asked. "Is it true?" Sho avoided his gazo. "Is what true?" she murmured. "That you're engaged to Lord Maple- son?" Her eyes filled with tears and she turned toward him passionately. "No!" she said vehemently. "He's asked me frequently, but I've always refused. But mamma insists, and the rumor we're engaged is about already. Oh, Mark! Mark!" With an out stretching of her arms that was irre sistible; "what's to be done?" He took her Into bis arms. "You love me, what Is to prevent our happiness?" "Mother she Insists. Father, I know, would rather I married a man of my choice." "And I Insist on you marrying me!" he cried earnestly. "That Is, If you're willing to become the wife of a non entity?" She looked up quickly. "Who is the nonentity?" she asked. "You, the clever artist or" with a gesture of disdain "Lord Mapleson?" "Then, darling," be cried, "if your mother will not consent, it must be a runaway match. You're sure you don't mind intrusting your happiness to me?" "No, indeed, Mark, no! I love you, oh! heaps more than I did two years ago, and that's something. Isn't It?" He admitted that it was, and kissed her, when someone calling Elsie, she had to leave. Mark strolled back to the drawing roem with a lighter heart Someone was asking Mr. Renton whether Jermyn was to play; the host shrugged bis shoulders, but the musi cian at once interrupted with the re mark be should only be too delighted. A move was made to the piano, while all voices were bushed as It became known tbat the great Jermyn was at the Instrument. He ran through sev eral of bis better known things la succession, playing as be bad sever played before, his audience spellbound and enraptured. The applause at bis conclusion, unlike most drawing-room applause, was for once sincere. Mr. Renton was profuse In big thanks, and then his less genial wife Inquired as a special favor, whether he would give them a novelty. "A novelty?" repeated Mark, anx ious to please his prospective parent. "Ah, yes! I had almost forgotten. To day's the twenty-second, Isn't It? There Is one thing I only play once a year, and always on the twenty-second of this month." The last notes of the song were grad ually dying away, when all at once there was a tense scream from a dis tant corner of the room. All turned and saw that Mrs. Ren ton had fainted. A few days later Mark Jermyn call ed to Inquire after Mrs. Renton, whom It was understood waa seriously 111. The young fellow was at once shown Into Mr. Renton's study, where the millionaire greeted him cordially. "My dear Mr. Jermyn," he said, "you're the very man I wish to tree! You remember the effect your wonder ful playing produced on my wife the other evening?" "Unfortunately," responded the fa mous musician. "Believe me, I'm ex ceedingly sorry." "It's not your fault, my boy," he answered kindly. "The event bas brought something to light which I hope may mean your happiness. I have learned that my daughter loves you." "Yes," responded Mark, quietly. "And I love her too." "Just so, just so! What I was going to say was this; my wife. It appears, was once engaged to your father." Mark Jermyn looked op In astonish ment. "Yes," continued Mr. Ronton, "and from what I can hear of course, thla Is In confidence between you and me It broke Mark Wegar's heart. My wife Jilted him for myself, and It seems that, out of pity, he afterward married a cousin whom he discovered had been In love with hlrm for years. The air you played the other evening was one of Wegar's companions, was It not?" "Yes," replied Mark. "My father left me the manuscripts, with the In junction it was only to be played on the twenty-second of November In each year the anniversary of what I co'tM never make out." "A!i! my wlfo recognized the theme; It was the old love song he used to play to her and of which she had been bo fond. The date you mention was the one on which she broke off the engagement. Old memories came back to her, and and " "Say no more, sir, it's a painful subject." "To be sure, to be sure! My wife wishes me to tell you -that, although she broke your father's heart, she has no wish to break either yours or her daughter's. We are both willing you should marry Elsie." Someone opened the door just then, and Elsie Renton, seeing Mark, threw herself into his arms." New York News. CUAINT AND CURIOUS, To settle once for all the frequent disputes with customers regarding the varying size of eggs, Stockholm merchants propose to effect all future sales on the basis of actual weight In stead of by the score.

It Is during the Norwegian winter that the most characteristic sports in tbat country hold sway. When the fiords are frozen after the snow has fallen, the water la covered with bright, shining Ice, and, like the gulls during the summer, the Norwegian boys now glide about on their skates where, In July and August, they had crossed In sailing-boats. But when the snow cov ers mountain, valley, and fiord many feet deep, snow-shoeing, or ski-lobn-ing, sb It Is railed In Norway, becomes universal, not merely as a sport, but also as a necessary way of traveling. The skees are made of wood, gener ally of ash. It is the most suitable wood for the purpose, but they can also be made out of pine, of birch, or of almost any woo) In which tho grain runs straight, and which is not too knotted. But woods like ash, which Is both hard and flexible, are admirably adapted for skee-maktng. The skees are some 10 feet long and about four Inches broad, and taper up In front in a graceful curve. A very slight groove about half an Inch wide runs all along the middle of the skee from front to back, giving a tendency to keep It steady In one direction, and to prevent It, to some extent, from sliding to one side. About an Inch back of the middle of the skee, a loop Is made out of twisted willow or, In recent years, fre quently out of leather-covered bamboo, forming a firm but flexible support for the foot about two Inches back of the toe. Another loop of leather-covered bamboo runs from the base of the loop for the toes and all around the heel, while one strap combines the two sides of this loop under the foot. The skee runner then finishes the fastening by buckling a strap over his Instep. This peculiar arrangement of loops and straps allows the runner to move his heel In a vertical direction so far tbat he could, although with effort, put his knee down to the skee In front of htm, while his toes still remain In the loop; but In a horizontal direction the foot Is arrested; the skee must follow every small movement of the foot to the right or left. (From C. E. Borcbgrevlnk's "Skee-Jumplng In Nor way" in Christmas St. Nicholas.) Anceetor nf the Klerthanr. The director of the British Museum would like to find a millionaire to fi nance a fossil-hunting expedition to Egypt. The story of the recent finds In the region to the south and southeast of Cairo was told In detail by Dr. An drews at the meeting of the Zoological society. In addition to the discovery of the remains of many animals hitherto unknown, the most important work done Is the demonstration of the ances try of the elephants and their predeces sors, the mastodons. If Dr. Andrews has not actually discovered the original stock, he has certainly traced the pedi gree two steps further back, and one need only look at the remains he has brought home to see how well found ed are his conclusions. Till Mr, Beadnell of the geological survey discovered how rich the dis trlct was In fossil remains, and the di rector of the Burvcy gave facilities for the recent researches, the earliest known ancestor of the elephant was the narrow-toothed mastodon from the Pliocene deposits of the south of France. This animal had four tusks, two In the upper jaw sloping downward and two In the lower jaw directed for ward between the other two. Not oniy have the remains of this mastodon been discovered In the Eocene deposits of the Fayum, but also, and associated with them, two other forms of a more primitive type. In the earliest, Moerlth erlum, two of the IndBor teeth in each Jaw are on the way to become tusks. and the Inflated skull shows signs of the cellular structure characteristic of the elephants. Paloeomastodon, anoth er of the forms, stand just midway In the character of the teeth between Motrttherlum and the narrow-toothed mastodon. It Is highly probable that the system atic exploration of this district may lead to the solution of other problems; for instance, that of the distribution of the mastodons and elephants, which will no doubt throw light on the con figuration of the earth's surface In Ter tiary times. London Field. rent of F x niintlnv. Fox hunting is not necessarily as ex pensive a sport as those not interested In it might lmmagine, but, of course, it Is not a poor man's game. Compared wiht the other amusements of the rich such as yachting, polo, or the main tenance of a iacing stable, It Is less costly and probably affords more pleasure. The hounds cost just so much as the club or Individual cares to pay for them. An average price for a good pair is about $150. Fine Imported hounds cost about twice that, and, of course, It one's taste runs to prize winners the cost may mount up to the fabulous. A good pack of American bounds represents from $2000 to $3000, A good hunter will probably cost $750 and an average price Is about $1 000. The care of the horses Is a great expense and feed bills and the waces of grooms mount up In the course of a year. As a good hunter Is never used for any other purpose that expense may all be laid to the door of the chase. In this country there are at least 35 recognized packs, and Onwontsla is as suming a place among them, The sport has been cherished longest In the south, where English traditions lived longest, but there are famous packs In Penn sylvania.

A VERY FINE MUMMY. lody of Prlaot Unearthed After Pour Thousand Years. The German Oriental society bas teen most successful In its explora tions at Abu-Sir In Egypt, and most nterestlng "finds" were distributed imong the Berlin museums during the uonth of October. One of the most important discoveries was a perfectly preserved mummy of Jen Em Jechvet, he high priest of the temple, who lied about 2, 000 years before Christ. rhe body was found In a family vault, which also contained the remains of als priest and reader and their wives. Only three tombs of such an age have open found In good preservation dur- ng the last century, and this Is the first time that the contents have been brought safely-to Europe. Jen lay In bis coffin enveloped In a brown linen hroud. Just as he had been placed there 4,000 years ago. In accordance with the fashion of the time, he Ks imall side whiskers, and a longer tuft on hla chin, and his eyes are made to appear unnaturally long by means of the careful application of rouge. The wig, which Is large and parted down the middle, has a bluish tint verging on green, and must originally have been the color of lapis lazuli, In Imita tion of the balr worn by Egyptian gods. The mummy was lying slightly on the left side, as Egyptians sleep to day, and the head rested on a sup port such as Is still In use In the Soudan. The eyes are turned toward the rising sun. Two staffs were found beside the body, and a little wooden statue. TOLD OF SCHOOL CHILDREN. Shrewd Answers Given by Tots In Ex- mlnatlon. The word "govern" was on the board and the pupils were asked to name derivatives therefrom. Governor was easy, and there were many who could give such examples of Its use, as, "Mr. Bates Is Governor. Mr. Crane Is Governor," but when governable and ungovernable were mentioned there was no proper example of their use offered, as the children seemed to have no acquaintance with them at all. At last one held up a band and said with confidence, "Oh, I know teacher. Gaston Is ungovernable.' Gaston was the defeated candidate for Governor of Massachusetts at the recent election. On another day exercises In draw ing being In order, one child was told to draw a person sitting in a chair. When called up some time after, she showed a sketch of a child, or a very small person, standing at the side of a chair, as tall only as the seat of the chair. "But," said the teacher, "why didn't you make this person sitting In the chair, as I told you to?" "Oh," said the child, "when you called me up I was just going to bend her."

When leaving Wash ington to attend the convention as leader of the Sherman delegates, Gar field was asked by John Randolph Tucker of Virginia: "Whom ore you going to nominate?" Garfield Is said to have loved Ran. Tucker. Tbey were far asunder In politics, but there were love and affection and intellectual kltiihlp between the Virginian and the Ohloan. Garfield put his arm around Tucker's shoulders and whis pered: "Keep your eyes on me." And so It was.
