"Monarchy haa had qulta a set- bs-k up at the Bassos," sail Captain Tracy, leaning against the door of the fish house and supporting Jtil in sert with one tattooed arm. There was no response from, tha half-dozen men mending a big net which was spread out upon tbelr knees; they did not cast the fly to catch the floating gossip of the town, but allowed It to drift toward them by the great law of chance. Captain Tracy was not dismayed by the sil ence; he knew his listeners, and be stepped Into the room and made ready to divide bla spoils. "Hymeny Bass has alwaya been a terrible meek sort; she has had a large, wide Idea of the cap'n and bla Judgment; she's believed he was so great that when he went east the west would Up up, and that his opin ions were Inside Information from the very keyhole of the universe. Now I think his Ideas on a subject are likely to hit about as near as the Farmer's Almanac' comes to getting the weather right. There Is alwaya a pretty wide range to allow room to turn. Hymeny hasn't bought a yard of calico or baked a cake that he hasn't aupervlsed for forty years. She would no more dare to set a bureau angling than she would dare tr set Are to public buildings. Tba vhole house Is full of ruta In tba 'oors where she has stepped In ber iwn tracks." "This la the beatenest net I ever undertook to fix up," said Captain I'm, breaking a moment's silence. Tbe remark waa clearly calculated to break the tension of the room, tvhlrh breathed curiosity unex pressed. "But she's out of bondage now," ."O'ltluupd the narrator. "She's gone i p Ir.to the connlng-tower, and Cap'n Ur.v.s Is only firing when he gets the U ml. And Mary says she Is wlg . ringing an everlasting message of 'icedoni to them that can under hand. " "It la a regular vamint of a net," rid Captain Ben, answering hlm "lf and performing the act known "legging over." Every man. work ed industriously and dissembled well. "It's all along of a present they rot from the old Bass property. When the estate was divided there was a bed and two chairs for Elmlry, a pung an a ox-goad for Jonathan; but Hymeny wasn't named In tha regular will, and she got only a long Ish kind of a looklng-glasa. "The cap'n Is tall, and he has al ways bung the mirrors so high that Hymeny hasn't seen herself since she waa married, and when the cap'n came home and brought the glaaa he set It on the floor, tipped back against the wall, till he could get chance to buy a cord. Hymeny, It seems. according to Mary, aaw nerself for the first time io years. They do say ahe gave kind of a yelp and stood like one atunned; ahe had to get acquainted with herself all over. Bo one day she up and away over ttitV.,ana"st,e"Vrrgrf&,4-o tfttoj t0)u er to make ber a false front. "Hymeny is a changed being. Boys, when that front came home, Hymeny perked It up on her head line aa you please, and Mary was In tbere, and said ahe aeemed to under in a kind of a transforming, bloom ing process. Bhe st up stralghter, and tbe first words she (poke was to contradict the cap'n, and three times she upset him in aggermlnt, and then Mary very wisely got up and came home. Now. did any of you ever hear any kind of a euperetltlon aa to false hair? Mary and I kind of remem ber something to the effect, that If combines are taken from a person's hair unbeknowst to the person.-tnei the person getting that hair, as a switch, will develop all the traits of the person that it belonged to here tofore. I ruess vou will have to aay mem words over again, and say 'em slow- said Captain Jd nudging nia neighbor. Well, to out It plainer, tna nair In that front piece belonged to Mis Ntram Gay, and Hymeny haa seemed kind of possessed of her waya ever lnce. She has got tne cap n com- Dletelv cured of bluster, why. sne set out yesterday that he must take her to that menagerie that travels hrough here every year. Mary was there, and stood near them when they were looking at the bear.

Tbia year 1 shall poke!" and she did. . The net was mended and the men rose to go to the shore. Captain Tracy was satisfied with the Interest be had created, for. by a froemasonry nf the eyes, he knew the sentiment of the little circle. Captain B lagged behind. "Vou you don't think." he said, hesitatingly, "that thia 'ere Betay Spooner is going to. .mk n n much of a trade In this own. do rou?"

A certain well-known Boatonlan baa been married long enough to have ac quired the average man'a cynical attl tude in respect of the written expres sions of devotion Indulged in before marriage. One day the Hubblte waa going over with bla wife a mass of useless papers that had accumulated In tbe household. They unearthed several large boxes full of love letters. After a hasty glance at them, tbe huaband aald: "No use keeping thia Junk, I aup poseT Here It goes." The wife waa hurt. "Oh, Clarence," exclaimed ahe, "how can you be ao brutal T Surely you don't want to de stroy your own love letter: to me?"

At the recent meeting of the Ameri can Bar Association, the subject un der discussion waa auspicious evidence and how much It waa worth. 'Such evidence." remarked the new president, Frederick W.

The thought lingered with ber, and mist slowly gathered over ber eves. fue memory of their parting had suddenly ceased to be a bitter one Not that she was relenting.' Uncon sciously ahe threw ber bead back slightly. But the remembrance of hla last worda persisted In remain Ing with her. He bad aald, "Ton are cruel, Katrine. Remember, of my own free will, I bava given you the light to Judse me. I have been truthful with you. I have told yoi: wnat otherwise yon would never know, relying upon love to mediate your anger. 1 do not blame you for condemning me. My selfishness has been colossal; bat. oh, little woman. I love yon sot" Once be bad been coward had run away from a danger when It was hla duty to stay, leaving another to suffer tbe consequences of bla act Thia he had confessed to ber. and for thla aba bad refused to forgive blm. Hers was a proud nature. Born of a brave race. sLe bad never, ever, aa a child, known what fear waa, and. after bla confession, her contempt for Carraway bad completely sub verted ber love, great aa It was. So she bad sent him away, a acatb Ing denunciation npon her Hps. And now he was famous. Tbe big world had accepted him without a question The lion of the hour, he bad reached everf standard but hers. Her lips curved In a smile of line Irony. Tbe room held no prettier plcturt than sbe made, as she stood rapi one tiny gloved hand npon the brass protection rail, her attitude deeplj thoughtful. A hard anow was fall Ing outside, and tbe Jaunty ermine hat which ahe wore was covered with feathery crystals, surpassed In brilliancy only by tbe gold of hci hair, which glowed and scintillated In the light coming from directly above. Her revery waa disturbed by the voices of two women, who bad ap proached apd wbo now atood be hind her. Beautiful, indeed," one was say Ing. "The world can little afford to lose Mr. Carraway'e work. But the doctor slates positively that he will never recove. tbe use of bis arm.' 'What a pity. And tha little Keni girl. Ia abe around again?"

Tb ladles hsd moved on, and bad paused before another painting at some dls lance from ber. In a daze she drew her scan tightly about ber throat and left the building. A profualon of question crowded themselves Into her brain What ahould abe do? Waa ant dreaming, or was Don really a hero after all? Waa be Buffering much and would ahe go to him?

Tbe two women were old frtenda and embraced warmly. Then, without a word, ttu older put her arm around Katrlna't waist, walked upstairs with ber, and left her In front of Don 'a door.
