T y Special Desire, f .4,..44.4.4i4i4..t''t'1,,,,,,,' I always thought her a pretty girl, i I sweet and charming; but, from her own account, there seemed to be bo majny people In love with her already that I thought personally I should do much better by merely maintaining a friendly Interest In her. Besides, I always knew that It ever I did fall In love It would be with quite another sort of a girl some one who would be much more prepared to render me homage than to expect It as her own flue, which was Miss Courtenay's way of going through life. Still, In spite of hor many airs and graces, which rather amused me than otherwise, we re mained good friends on the whole, and I am sure I gave her no possible ex cuse for thinking that I was one of her latest victims, for the simple reason that I had not In any sense succumbed to her fascinations, and never pre tended to disguise the fact. I had known her now for quite a long time. I should say It was about Six months from our first meeting. At our last meeting, which had been the day before yesterday, I had introduced great friend of mine to her Bertie Beauclere. He was a tall, handsome fellow no brains, certainly, but still the sort of type that I felt pretty sure would appeal to her. She really did teem to take an ardent fancy to him, which was another proof that my esti mation of her character was a fairly correct one. I Judged her to be friv olous and shallow a girl to be taken with superficial show rather than a woman to love a man for his sterling worth; which Is really the only kind of woman I snouia ever xeei inciineu 10 love myself, for I don't set much store by blue eyes and a pink and white Bkin. it is the beauty of the heart ad tnlnd that appeal to me far more. 1 think, as a matter of fact, that there are a good many men like my self, so that, when Bhe used to enlarge to me sometimes upon her conquests, Invariably discounted half she said. I didn't believe she had a tithe of the success she made out. Here was I, for one, quite unscathed. It was really astonishing to me to see the way Beau clere made up to her, and I began to think there might be something in her charm after all. But then, "if she be not fair to me, what care I how fair Jie be?" All the same, I felt vexed I had in troduced Bertie to her. I didn't want to see her make a fool of my best friend. I didn't want to see her make a fool of herself, either, and the way she encouraged his Idiotic couiplimentB was a revelation to me. I had taken It for granted that sne was a coquette, but I had never actually seen her in the role before, and I didn't know now these things were done until then, and I learned a good lesson that afternoon. Bertie fetched and carried for her like a dog, and the other men seemed to go down like ninepins, too. I bad really meant to look after her a little myself, but I realized my forethought was quite superfluous. The next day I thought I would call on her and have a quiet chat. I found her in what she was pleased to term her "study." Not having left school long, she kept up an amiable fiction for the benefit of a fond mother and doting father. I suppose that she did a few hours' daily practising and reading within its sacred four walls. I always liked to find her in the study. For one thing, it showed, if not a serious bent of mind, at least an effort In the right direction; and for another, her family never ventured to disturb her there. She said it inter rupted her train of thought. I sat down and, after having helped her with a difficult problem the same problem, I was fain to observe, which I had tackled for her last time I began to talk. "You and Beauclere seemed to hit it off pretty well. I always thought he liked a bit of bluestocking in fact, preferred brains to beauty." "You don't think me clever, then?' she asked. "I didn't say that exactly. I think you are clever in your own way." "But you think my beauty is in ex cess of my brains?" "We won't say beauty," I deprecated. "That is a word only applicable to Greek goddesses. But you're certainly tweetly prtty." "Oh," she said, with her eyes down "you think me pretty, then?" "I wasn't giving you my personal opinion," I replied guardedly, "but what seems to be the generally accept ed one." "I don't know so much about that," he said, with a toss of her head. "Mr. Beauclere thltiks me quite beautiful and clever." s "Beauclere's an ass!" I said hastily. 4 nil then, feeling frightened at the ominous sllenc which ensued, I en larged my sentence by adding: "Why, lie went down without a degreal" chair as I put the momentous ques tion. "Oh, no!' she said, looking down. I'm not going to love you. That wasn't in my programme at all." Couldn't you Include it," I said, ' by special deBlre?" "Whose desire?" she asked quickly. "Mine." "I don't believe," she said, tracing a pattern on the tablecloth, "that you really do love me." "I'll try to prove," I said, "only you must give me facilities." "What do you call facilities?" "Well," I said, putting my arm around her waist, "this would be one. "I I don't mind giving you that one," she said hesitatingly. It's quite sufficient," I declared, "to encourage me to take the rest." San Franolsco Bulletin. "Perhaps ho didn't want one. I'd sooner have a straight nose than a degree any day," she retorted Bcorn fully. "And scarcely anyone here knows you are a valedictorian, though I'm sure I've told scores of people." I rubbed my nose ruefully. I am forced to admit it Is distinctly of tho forced to admit it is distinctly of the Welllngtonlan order. It was nice of you to trouble to tell people," I said dubiously. "I'm sure you meant it kindly. But whatever made you do that?" Oh, I felt bound to say something In your defence. At that garden party yesterday, as you were walking past, a girl I know said: 'Who Is that awk ' Perhaps I'd better not tell you what she thought of you," she added, Istcrrupting herself. "It nright hurt your feelings." I laughed. "No. Tell me." " 'That awkward, plain looking man, who is going about as if he thought all the women were in love with him?' " I roared. "Did she think that out loud?" I asked. "I believe I can guess who the girl was." "No, you can't guess," she said cross ly, "because I shan't tell you. Natur ally, when I saw the impression you were creating I had to say out loud you were a valedictorian, as much for my own benefit as hers. It was a sort of excuse for you." "And did it satisfy her?" I asked. admiring the way she spoke of herself in the third person. "It was a consolation, she admitted. "I shouldn't have thought Venus stood In need of consolation with Adonis at her feet, not to speak of other admirers." You seem to think," she said, pout ing, "that I couldn't win love if I tried, or even if I didn't try." "If one tries," I said sententiously, one can get most thing3 one wants, "But of course you wouldn't fall Into the trap," she asked merrily. "Leave me out, please. We settled that question long ago." "Oh, I'm fairly satisfied with my progress since then," she returned airily. Her assurance was really amusing. "You're quite welcome to my scalp when you get It," I returned, smiling. "Oh, no," she said, shaking her head it's too clever a one for me to know what to do with! You are so clever," she went on, wistfully looking at me. I didn't understand your last speech at the debate at all. You'll explain it to me some day, won't you?" She drew near, and the wistful look became coaxing. I'm not clever!" I declared, feeling flattered by her appreciation. "I'm only a dogged sort of an Individual." Well, perhaps I'll have a try on my own account," she said, throwing her self into a chair, "only you must give me facilities." "What am I to do?" I asked her. "You mustn't use long words which I don't know the meaning of, and which only confuse me, and you must unbend a little and meet me on my own ground. And you mustn't wear a blue tie even if you have got blue eyes, be cause I like a red tie with a nice brown skin. And if you come to see me tomorrow I'll tell you if you've got the right color." When I got home I looked in the glass with a sudden dislike for my blue tie. I bought a scarlet one, feeling sure she was right. I should never have thought of it myself; but then women understand these things so much better than men she has such taste. I shaved myself carefully next day, criticising my sunburn, and won dering if she really meant I had a nice brown skin. The bright-colored tie, so different from my usual sober tints, raised me in my own estimation, and I sallied forth with a feeling of assur ance born of it. It was still early, and I found her in the study arranging some flowers, My spirits were dashed by her recep- tlon of me. "You don't mean to say you reaily walked through the town in that tie? she asked. "Yes. I did," I said, feeling worried, "Don't you like it? I thought you told me to get a red tie. "Yes, but I never thought you would tnr mr telline." she returned. "What ever made you do that? "Goodness knows!" I responded, Then I laughed awkwardly. "I think can give you a reason, such as it is. It has Just dawned on me. I'm like all the rest. I suppose. I love you!" "Oh," she said, with a complacent little smile, "that was in the pro- eramme I mapped out for you." "And you'll love me, too, won'i you?" I said, coming up to her and leaning mr band on the back of ksr A WEIRD TALE. v. Education of Women Jot the Cause of More Frequent Divorces, but the Occasion . . By Laura Drake Gill, Dean of Barnard College. s B Englishman's Story of a Warning Brought In a Grewsome Way. This strange experience happened some 15 years ago to a very intimate friend of mine In Gibraltar bay, not far from where he often lives. I hnd the story from Ills own lips. When the telepathic experience oc curred he had not been long In sunny Snaln. Behind him. in bonnle Scot land, ho had loft his young bride till he should get settled down in his new clime and occupation. He was going one day about his work, as usual, buoyed up with the prospect of meeting soon his loved one (for she was then on her way out to him, on loard a steamer which must now be skirting the northern consts 01 Spain), when suddenly ho experienced a strange sensation, heard his wife's voice walling, and saw. as he thought, her form all dripping and wet. Instantly he felt as if some terrible calamity had happened. And sure enough, in duo time, tho telegraph brought the sad news that, at the very hour of his strange experience. the ship in which his wlfo was out ward bound had struck upon the rocks, hundreds of miles away, and all on board had perlBhed. How, almost frantic with grief, my esteemed friend, accompanied by an other acquaintance, went north and searched for days for his wife's body amongst those washed ashore by re curring tides on that Spanish coast is apart from our purpose. But he told me all with his own lips. I have never been a believer In spiritualism, have never seen any thing in tablerapplng nnd Biichlike, ex cept to laugh at; yet I think the cor rect attitude to take up to well-authenticated telepathic experiences as dis tinct from spiritualistic humbug, is Hamlet's in his conversation with Ho ratio: 'O day and night, but this Is won drous strange!" "And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philoso phy." Correspondent of the Weekly Scots man. EYOND dispute, a crisis In family life exists, and the grenter education of women is said to be Us cause. Shall we not rather cull It the occasion? The cause is still deeper. It is the unending struggle between authority and autonomy. Tho present situation Beems to be merely the chaos of transition; it corresponds to the stage of nnarchy by which government must too often pass from absolute monarchy to democracy or to the agnosticism by which religion breaks the chains of an artificial authority before It acknowledges the true authority of virnie and communion. Tho present family crisis Is undoubtedly occasioned by the greater edu cation and consentient rPMiminln Inilenpiirtenee of women In general; It is,- however, manifested through Individual women who slinro the economic free dom, but lack the discipline of education. Frequent divorce is tho result of education of women as refracted through tho medium of uneducated women. Thny grasp the freedom of escape rrom an unwise marriage, yet lack the training to make a wise marriage. In a wide acquaintance with college women I have personally I nown only one caso of divorce. This was carried through without scandal or any of fence to public morals. Among high school graduates a limited inquiry would Indicate a small percentage of divorce. It is the girls of luxurious homes of whom little effort is demanded. The girls of the middle class, whose fathers support them in ease, but fail to educate them for service; the girls of the la boring classes, with limited training and heavy buidens these girls make the women in whose lives the restless spirit of tho times may work sad havoc. They have not been trained to look upon marriage as an opportunity to escape self-support. They have the courage and decency to demand ordinary loyalty and fair play from men, yet they often fall to realize their own obligations. We need, then, not less chance of escape from Intolerable conditions, but a truer conception of family dignity; not less economic Independence forworn- en, but more sense of its responsibility; not less education for women, uiu more education for all women. The economic function of women Is in the home, where the wifo and mother spend four-fifths of the average man's earnings. If women who spend their time aimlessly about shops would take that time to think about the ex penditure of money they would save time, money and hnpplness. Women must be taught that the expenditure of money is their profession and they must mako It a science not a mania. Every woman ought to have a profes sion of wise expenditure and of wise homekqeplng. More true education for the mass of women Is the need of the hour; edu cation In efficiency, education In loyalty to the state, education In the way to produce a healthy, Intelligent, devoted race; but, above all, education In the responsibility for the use of our individual lives. The arbitrary authority of marriage laws or the individual husbands will then become obsolete before an autonomy based upon the inward authority of conscience and reason. QUAINT AND CURIOUS.

In 1902 for the first time, the whir of reaping machines was heard in the Train fields of the ancient land of Syria. The machines came from Chi cago, and when, a little later, a steam- thrashing machine, made in Indiana, was set to work In Coele-Syrl, there was some excitement among the native farmers. Before the reapers ap peared on the plain of Esdraelon Am erican windmills had been introduced, and later In the year a flour mill, with machinery and an oil-motor engine from Indianapolis, began grinding wheat in Lebanon. So the year 1902 is a notable one In the advance of practical science over the old Bible lands. A curious custom once In vogue at the court of the kings of England was ended by the quick temper of King George II. It was anciently the custom of an officer of the court to attend the rcyal banquet on the even ing of Ash Wednesday and to crow like a rooster. The exihbition was meant to remind the revelers of the bird whose crowning called back Peter. But George, newly come from Ger many when he first witnessed the per- rormance, knew nothing of what it was Intended to signify. The officer stood up, craned his neck and crowed ten times with all his might. The prince, thinking that jome insult was meant, leaped angrily from his chair and would not be appeased. The per formance was never repeated 7-" Thp -oiq Ileal "Romance of American History ? By Orison Swett Marden. HERE is nothing else so fascinating In American history as the romance of achievement under difficulties the story of how men and women, who have brought great things to pass, got their start, and of their obscure beginnings and triumphant ends, their struggles, their long waitings and want and woe, the obstacles overcome, the final victories; the stories of men and women who have seized emmon sit uations and made them great, or of those of average ability who hove succeeded by dint of Indomitable will and inflexi ble purpose. What grander sight Is there than that of a stalwart man made irresistible by the things which have tried to down him a man who stands without wav ering or trembling, with head erect and heart undaunted, ready to face any difficulties, defying any cruelties of fate, laughing at obstacles because he has developed in his fight with them the Btiperb strength of manhood and vigor of character which makes him master? No fate or destiny can stop such a man a man who is dominated by a mighty purpose. Thouhands of young men of this stalwart type every year burst the bonds which are holding down the weaking, the vacillator ana tne apologist. That which dominates the life, which Is ever uppermost In the mind, gen erally comes somewhere near realization; but there Is a great difference be tween lukewarm desire and a red-hot purpose. It takes steam to drive the piston in the engine; warm water will never turn the wheels. The longings that fall of realization are usually just below the boiling point, f Mysterious People We I Meet By Robert Hichens. itlm-Mliuic, I'otHto Crops. Ia lire with the classic case of tbt oyster shippers, cited by President Hartley of Yale University in bis book on Railroad Transportation, Is tbe cast of the Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tattle of the Boston & Maine Railroad before the Senate Committee on Interstate Com merce. Nothing could bptter show how a railroad works for the interest of the localities which it serves. A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroosteok region Is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ton million bushels which find a mar ket '"rgely In Boston and tbe adjacent thickly settled regions of New Eng land, The competition of cheap wnter transportation from Maine to ail points along the New England coast keeps railroad freight rates on these pota toes always at a very low IcvpI. Potatoes are also a considerable out put of the truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained in and through Detroit and Chicago and other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from the Michigan fields. At normal rates nnd prices there would have been n glut of the customary mar kets and tbe potatoes would have rot ted on tho farms. To help the potato growers the railroads from Michigan made unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachable market, even carrying them in large quantities to a nlaee so remote as Boston. The Aroostook growers had to reduce the trice on their potatoes and even then could not dispose of them unless the Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its already low rate, which It did. By meaus of these low rates, making pos sible low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan and Maine wore finally marketed. Everybody cats potatoes, mid that year everybody bad nil the potatoes he wanted. While the Michigan railroads made rates that would have been ruinous to the railroads, had they been applied to tbe movement of all potatoes at nK times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets for them. The Boston & Maine Railroad suffered a de crease in Its revenue from potatoes, but It enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crop and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the rail roads brought to them. If the making of rates were subject to Governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been taken, because it Is well established that if n rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot be restored through the red tape of Governmental proeed- lire, it tne .Michigan iu " Boston & Maine Railroad had been subjected to Governmental limitation they would have fe'.t obliged to keep uo their rates as do the raiiroads of France and England and Germany un der Governmental limitation and let the potatoes rot-Exchange. Gloves and Microbes. It was noticed in Paris when Kins Edward was there that he always ap peared in public with the tight hand gloved, but not his left. As it Is common practice to carry the right glove loose and not the left, much speculation has been excited by the king's reversal of this custom. One learned writer suggests that it is due to a sound perception of hygienic pro priety. The object of a glove, he says, is not to adorn but to protect the hand. Which hand has the more constant employment and is therefore brought Into closer contact with mi crobes? Why, the right hand. It follows that in keeping that hand gloved the King shows his unfailing sense. Vive le Roi! London Chron icle. alUBINMI tusw ft .

Some think It Ingratiating to bo perky. Others think it more graceful to be drooping and melancholy, to gaze wistfully, walk mournfully, and Bit as If before the baked meats of a funeral feast. But of all the people who indulge in travesty, I think I get most amuse ment out of the mysterious people. Bated, forever bated, is the breath of the mysterious person. Directly he comes into the room you are conscious of the presence of the unutterable, and know that it will speedily be uttered into your most private ear. When he speaks to you he "takes you aside," so that none ether may know that he is telling you that the weather is damp and that there is a deal of Influenza about. As he discusses with you such dreadful subjects as the price of hobnailed boots, the fluctuations of stocks, the merits of President Roosevelt and the economies of the administration, his head approaches yours, his lips pout secretively, his eyes glance round warily to make sure that no one Is within earshot to betray him and you. The gallows Is surely in his memory. He wishes to avoid it.. He wishes kindly wretch! to save you from it also. Meet him half way. It i3 such fun to do that. He responds sensitively to the slightest mysterious encourage ment and thinks he is impressing you and that you believe him to be a strange and remarkable personage, and that you will go away and say, "Glad I met John Smith. Interesting man. Not every day you come across a man like that." Many women are mysterious. Indeed, I have met more mysterious wom en than mysterious men. The mysterious woman is often small, buther hata are large, plumed like a hearss, and generally black as night. Pale is her face and languid her manner. She tries to look consumptive and succeeds surpris ing often. As a rule she has little to say, but says it in such an awful man ner that it takes on a fictitious importance and for the moment appears to be Impressive. Think over your acquaintances and friends. Are not some of them mys terious, and are not they highly considered; are not they called "interesting" on that account? There are many spurious things in the social world, but few things are more spurious than that reputation for being interesting which is gained by the mysterious manner. And half of the world at least Is tricked. For avery day perkiness is called brilliance, mystery wisdom, assurance greaV ess, and th puppet in the mask a slant in the sunshine.
