HO was right, the meeting wad over,

Mrs. Austin did not seem to evade it,
yet he hardly knew whether it had
reaelied her or not. At that moment
he felt it harder to realize how be had

had been when he Stood on the rug
and 'listened, through Mrs, Leicester'
talk for the sound of approachlue

lated and uninirried speech was like,
and yet unlike'Mildred's voice as lie
remembered it. It seemed like int
echo of old days awakened in it
strange place. She looked at hint with
gently inquiring eyes, as if to dincoevr
how much he had phanged since their
Parting, and she met the same mute
questioning fro ra him. Meitwerhile Mrs.
Leicester wondered alowd, with muck
discomposure, what Frank and Tiny
could' possibly have done with thena-
selves. It was getting late; would
Mrs. Austin like to go to her roam?
So the poxty broke up, to meet again
at seven.
The question which troubled Fealties
mother was solved when, at three
minutes to dinner -time, she met him
on the stairs, looking very hot and
dusty. She expressed some views on
the subject of punctuality whielx seem-
ed to raake him hotter. "We went
farther than I interuled—we Wellt
along the river after I saw Huntley,
and had to hurry back. What's the
use of making a row about It?" he
said, rather crossly.
"You promised me you wouldn't be
late!"
"Well, don't I tell you we hurried
home? I believe Tiny nearly ran all
the way. I wish I'd made her take it
easy, if thie Is all the thanks we are
to get." Frank had the disgusted look
ot a man Who faces an ungrateful
world.
"Whore is Tiny?"
"Gone up-staire like a flash of light-
ning. Look here, mother, it 'wasn't
her fault, you know."
"Well, all I can say Is, that it is
very tiresome," said poor Mrs. Lei-
cester. "Do naake Manta, Frank."
"I'm only waiting till You've done

boyish doggedness, and stood stock-
still with his hatcls in his pockets.

exclamation,and flounced 'down to the

aetonished and spell -hound, seeing her
for the first tirne. He had been tQQ
gulky and absorbed to pay any atten-
time before, he had had her hand on,
his arm—fool that he was ---and had
taken no heed. Now as she went by
it was like a. wonderful revelation,
and with a perception which to hie
own consciousness was eingularly
quickened, he noted every detail ot
the pieture—the delicate teatures, the
soft, fine hair the shadowy eyelids,

It was not such beauty as 7rauk had
ever taken pleaeure in, or even re-
cognized, before, and .for that very
reason he was unable to set any lirait
to his admiration. The charm Was
that of a pale gleam in an unlmovsn
sky, revealing a new world. Ile was
startled at the eudden rush of feeling
which carried him ant of the narrow
boundaries within which he had been
eating, drinking, and sleeping till
that moment. le seemed to hifa as If
ncine of the thoughts and words to
which he had been. accustomed in that
earlier life would serve him now. He
had scorned poetry as something fool-
ish and unreal; but it struek him that
If he took up a volume of poetry he

true, Something wonderful, unexplic-
able, unforseen, had befallen him in
that brief minute; but the important
events of life MaY very well happen
in a minute,which often goes unrecog-
nized. Frank, however, recognized
his as, it went by.
He moved a little as he sat, to
command a better view of the room,
and saw how South, who Was, stoop-
ing to untie a portfolio of Tiny's, rose
with a swift glance of welcome as
Mrs. Austin approeched, and silently
gave her a chair. She laid her hand
on the bank, bet paused, listening.
Looking eagerly at the two as they
stood side by side, Frank forgot that
he had ever seen a resemblance be-
tween them, and would have taken it
as an insult had any one suggested
that, such a resemblance exisMd. The
secret love story, over which he had
laughed that afternoon, rose up ter-
ribly betore his eyes. He remember-
ed every word. He had said how he
had propond to give them their wen-
ding -breakfast, and how he had joked
with Tiny about the elderly nride. He
hated himself as he recalled the word.
Of course, it had been nothing but a
joke; Frank knew well enough that a
woman who was a girl eighteen years
earlier was not elderly; but still he
had used it, end the bleed rushed to
his, torched sie the recollection. It was
such a detestable woe, hare, prosaic,
and commonplace; it seemed to vul-
garize and spoil whatever it,' touched.
Frank would readily have sacrificed a
year of his life (which At his age
means that he wOuld have consented
to be a. year younger) could he have
uneaid that hateful word "elderly."
His meditations speedily became so
unendurable that, in sheer despair, ha
got up and went toward the piano,

KEEP CHILDREN WELL
DURING HOT WEATHER
Every mother knows how fatal the
hot summer months are to small child-
ren. Cholera infantum, diarrhoea,
dysentry and stomach troubles are
rife at this tithe and often a precious
'little life is lost atter only a few
hours' illness, The mother who keeps
Baby's Own Tablets in the house feels
safe. The occasional use of the Tab-
lets prevents stomach and bowel
troubles, or if trouble comes sud-
denly --as it generally does—the
Tablets will bring the baby safely
through. They are sold by medicine
dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box

ANTIQUES
Centuries before the potter's art had
developed into a recognized industry
in articles intended for use tar orna-
ment in the home, carved'and shape1
stone objects were M request, and
they served adrairably for the then lim-
ited range of requirements. One ot
the earliest reneded uses in this
direction Was the primitive "mortar
and pestle," the original Machine in
whish eereale stad other foodstuffs
were pounded The earliest form of
"muter" was a block -of stone with a
cavity scraped on its top eurface, and
the first "pestle" was a round pebble
which would lay comfertably in this
eav•ity. The grain or other foodstuff
was pounded into its, required state
with these instruments.
Some ten y.ears ago, while. setrebrs
III the potterselan eteldi of Cornwall
Wane- tithing, they discovered, deeply
embedded in the clay a block of
granite about thirty inches square Up-
on each face of which were two or
More of these .cavities, probably a
culinary utensil of prehistoric amen.
Among stone meets of ancient ori-'
gin still preserved to us, one of the
matt interesting is the'immense wine -
cup known to this generation as the
Warvvick van. There is a doubt as to
the origin of tho Warvilek vase, some
mithorities attiibuting it to Ly,sipPue

flourished in the fourth century, B,C.,
and was One of the niost ferns= of the

CHIMNBYS ON LAMPS.
Why They Prevent the Lighted
Wicks Prom Smoking.
When a lamp is burning without a
chimney it"generolly smokes. Thee is
betoauee the oil w.siel is gaming up
through the week is being only par
Ualiy burned, The carden, whieh hi
about one-half of what the oil con-
tains, is. net being burned at all and
goes off into the air in little black
specks with the gases which . are
thrown off. The reason the carbon is
not•burned when the Chimney is off is
that there is not suffieient oe•yg•en
from the all' combining with it as it
is separated from the oil in the par-
tial combustion Mat is going on.
To .Malre the carbon in the oil burn
you nitist mix it with plenty of oxy-
gen at a certain temperature, and this
can only be done be forcing sufficient
oeyeen through the eteme to bring the
heat of the Merle to the point .where
the carbon will combine wile it and
burn.
When you put the chimney on the
lamp yeu create a araft whice, forces
more oxygen through the flame, brings
the heat up to the proper temperature
and enables the eariSon to .combine
with it and burn, When you take the
chlinney off again the heat goes down
when the 'draft is shut off and the
lamp smokes aealn.
Tiee chimney also protects the flame
of the lamp from drafts from the sides
and above and helps to make a bright-
er light, because a steady light is

A Superstitious Musician.
Schumann was always inclined to
superstition. When he visited Beetho-
ven's grave at Vienna he found a rusty
steel pen lying on it. This he iaxefully
and reverently preserved and "after-
ward used in writing his 13 flat sym-
phony, believing that it would bring
him' inspiration, But this superstition,
harmless enough in its early years,
became accentuated later in an alarm-
ing manner. He began to take an un-
healthy interest in table turning and
spirit rapping. He wasemoreover, in-
ttusely influeeeed by dreams and
omens. One night he dreamed that the
spirits of Mendelssolm and Schubert
appeared to him and gave him a
theme which, he afterward wrote down
and developed.
