"Good-by, dearest!"
" "Good-by!"
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."

' 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

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

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

NORWAY'S WINTER FUN.
keee Fornlah Not Only Sport bat e
eeaary Means nf Travel.
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.)

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.

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,

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." Boston

LONGING FOR SUMMER.
Which 8uggeat an- Old but Hardly
Complimentary Aphorism.
When the frost is on the window
and the kitchen pall Is froze, when the
little Icy needles come from every
breath that blows, when chilblain
make us faint and cold feet give us
pain. It's safe to bet that we all wist
for summer days again. For while we
sweat and fume around In gauzy sum
mer clothes, It's easy enough to get
cooled off, as everybody knows; but
It' different in the winter, when the
world Is full of Ice, and the weather
ts aa hard as a pair of loaded dice.
We may talk about our climate, and
about our springs and falls, but the
balmy days of summer are the day
that suit us all.
