"Look here, Frank," said Tiny, light-
ly touching his arm witia her little
sunburnt fingers, "leave me out this

"No, no, Miss Vivian, that won't do,"
Gilbert protested. "You've been de-
scribing Mr. Leicester as a champion
player, and I'm not going to be pitted
against him for you to laugh at my
elernalnees."
"You're not clumsy," Tiny replied,
quite simply.
"Thank you," said Mr, South, with
a little bow. "But I'm a beginner, you
know, and you have undertaken rny,
education, Suppose you let me learn
a little by looking on."
"Conte then, Tiny," said Frank,
After all, he had had his turn. It
was only fair play to make way for the
resat who was also. his guest.
Gilbert strolled germ to where Mrs.
Gilbert eat, and threw himself on the
grass at her feet. "Upon, my word,"
ho said, "I'm not sorry to rest a little.
I've taken a good deal of exercise this
morning,"
Mrs, Austin smiled, and watched the
game, though she did not understand
it sufficiently to appreciate Frank'e
skill. She was interested in the two
agile figures merely as a picture -a
pretty picture in the autumn sunshine.
Gilbert, at her .feet, leauiag on his
elbow, seemed as if ise also were
watching the two figures, but in reality
his eyes were fixed upon a third,
tall, slender girl, fair, gracetul, swift,
playing battleiloor and shuttlecock in
the stillness of d Sumink, evening,
close by an old red brick wall,
on which peaches were trained.
Above the wall a thin rank of trees
rose against a clear sky. There was an.
arch over the garden patch, a tangle
of climbing roses, delicate leaf -sprays,
and clusters of loose white flowers,
under which the girl would go when
the game was over and the sun gone
down, And beyond the buttressed
wall, where the elm boughs were stir-
ring in the cool evening air, was the
great world, beginning at the ivy -
grown gardengate and stretching
away to unknown distances -to India,
for instance, which lay waiting for a
Young fellow who was to do the most
remarkable thiugs. It was wonderful
only to think of the sights he was to
see, the strange faces, the strange
skies, before he cathe home bronzed
and bearded, to stroll once more along
the grassy walks and find the cluster-
ed roses of a later year hanging white
In the twilight. As he left the garden
for the last time that home -coming
had been almost as vivid and real as
the tender pain of parting. Afterwards
it faded away into a dim picture, sad
as such pictures are when what was
to have become an actual future is
Put aside and marked, "it might have
been." But now, while he lay on the
turf, watching Tiny and Frank, it rose
Up before his eyes as clearly outlined
as of old.
It could never be. The heads of the
household were dead; the old home'
was broken up; the house was sold.
Gilbert had a vague remembrance of
having been told that a retired trades-
man, who piqued himself on growing
big pineapples, had taken the place
and improved it immensely. However
long his life might last, it could never
hold that happy home -coming, as a
here, to the old garden, and the girl
who wasgto wait for him there.
He raised himself a little, and turn-
ed to Mrs. Austin, who was leaning
back against Frank's Indian shawl.
"Do YOU remember," he said, "how'
we used to .play battledoor and shut-
tlecock at West Hill?"
She looked down at his uplifted
face, "Yes," she answefed, .in het
tranquil voice; "I remember"; and af-
ter a just perceptible pause, she ad-
ded, "perfectly."
That "perfectly" disconcerted him a
little, and checked a, sentence on his
lips. As a rule, it is not a perfect but
a discriminating memory which we
desire to find in our friends. Gilbert
asked himself whether there -was a
touch of ironical meaning in her
words, or Only a frank simplicity. It's
a very long while ago!" he said. It
was a safe remark to make, and not
an original one. Yet momething in 14s
accent made it sound almost like an
entreaty,
Mrs,. Austin smiled. "It's a very long
while ago. These young people -were
in the nursery then, 1 suppose, and
now their turn has come round."
"Do We only have one tern?" said

sonae queer old dresses somewhere -
he remembered having seen them as a
boy -and in the search for them he
took Mrs, Austin into all sorts of
shadowy corners, and made interest-
ing discoveries of old brooms and
brushes and dusty books. On one
shelf he found. some toys, silent'
with ill -usage and long neglect. He
stood looking at these for a moment,
bewildered to find that he had for-
gotten them so utterly and remember-
ed them so well. He stooped to touck
a little painted water -cart and then
shut them all: into the darkness again
with a lingering smile. At last he
came upon the old brocades and laces
of which he was in search, and looked
anxiously to see whether they would
please his companion. "Are they
eight!" he said, "or don't you care for
them?" As soon as he was satisfied
on this point, he would have tossed
them all over the floor for her inspec-
tion, if she had permitted it. "Look
like private theatricals, don't they?"
he said, when he was bidden to stand.

"Oh, isn't this lovely?" she ex-
claimed, without heeding his question.
He considered the pale delioately-
flowered silk with a puzzled face.
"Ieevely? Isn't it rather quer and -
and -washy?" he said at last.
"Oh, that won't do at all!" Mrs.
Austin replied, smiling up at him.
"That isn't what we say about such
things nowadays. We must educate
YOU."
"Well," said Frank, With a flash of
inspiration; "I think I should know
better if I saw it on." Mrs. 'Austin
shook it out daintily to let the light
fall on it, and he looked from the
silk to her face, and back again. All
at once he seemed to see what she
would -look like in it; a tall slight fig-
ure in the quaint old gown. "Yes," he
said, with sudden conviction, "I see
now. It's beautiful."
"You are a promising scholar," she
replied. "What were you saying about
theatricals just now? But these things
are too good for theatricals -too real
for such little candlelight shams."
"Not a bit too good -if you would
act!"
She shook her head. "Not even to
wear this drese! Though that would
be delightful."
"Do," said Prank "Why not? I'd
got myself up like my friend down-
stairs -the man over the library chime
neypiece, You know, Would that be
right with this Of yours?"
It was Mrs. Austin's • turn to call
up a picture, and she raised her eyes
to his face, "Oh yes, I think so. We
should be in the same half century
at any rate, quite near enougi for
private theatricals."
"Oh, I say!" Frank exclainied. "Half
a century!"
"Well, I admit it would be an awk-
ward interval in real life," said Mrs.
Austin, smiling. "But I think it might
do on the stage."
"Let's try it," said Frank, with his
face aglow.
"NO," she answered, very gently and
decidedly. "Why not ask Miss Viv-
ian?"
"Tiny!" The suggestion called bim
out of ati Mechanted world into his
every -day existenee, and he had to
cheek himself lest he ehould say some-
thing ungracious.
"She would look charming in some
or these things," said Mr. Austiiii
thoughtfully.
"I dare say she would-/ mean, I'm
mire she Would. Well, we can think
of that any time."
"And do you think we can join the
others any time?" kis corapaltion in-
quired. "1 ShoUld say we had better

and look for them. 'Vier mother will

Iiirank attempted no ternonstrance;
and she laid everything back In its
place 'with a charming dexterity, only
rousing once to look at sent() old lane.
He watched her, still With the ehadow

mention of Tiny'e name reminded hint
of more than Tiny.

bags which
as a rule is
the racist econo-
mical way and assures
absolutely correct weight.
3o—Cook well.
4o—Clean, and then by boiling
at least 10 minutes, sterilize
your jars perfectly before
pouring in the preserves or jelly.
Success will surely follow the use
of all these hints.

B.EADING THE HAND.
Most Murderers, it is Said, Show
Their Characters in Their Palms.
A Frencli savant contends that the
murderer has a distinctive hand. Ilia
face may not be eideoup, but the
hands are, ,and are self concienanatory.
Evidence on the latter characteristic
is scanty and rests upon tee investi-
gations of the French criminologists;
but, as to the former, it is a fact thee
some of the most brutal murders on
record have been perpetrated by men
whose countenances habitually wore
very mild expression.
Deeming was a pleasant man to
speak to until crossed, but some of the
authorities who examined his hands
declare his broad thumb indicated the
born murderer.
The true ballheaded thumb gives to
the first phalange it round, bulbops
appearance. It is short, and the nail is
so abbreviated as to suggest that It
has been gnawed. It is imbedded in
the flesh, which rises on either side
and beyond it.
Duneollard, a wholesale murderer,
bad a hand remarkable for its thick-
ness and length of palm in proportion
te the fingers. He had a significant
dem, common to most murderers --
namely, almost entire absence Of lines
in the palm, save the three principal
ones -the line of life, head and heart.
nese lines were very strongly defined.
The line of the head -the center lino
extending across the palm= --was vio-
lently cut by the line of life running
upward fie= the wrist. Chiromancy
interprets this to foretell a violent
death. His fingers • were knotty and
uneven at the nail phalanges.

The Gaane of Life.
Life becomes, as .the stoics more
than once tell us, like a play which
Is acted or a game played with coun-
ters. Viewed from ihe outside, these
counters are valueless, but to those
engaged in the game their importance
Is paramount. What really and ulti-
mately Matters is that the game shall
be played as it should be played. God,
the eternal dramatist, has cost you
for some part in his drama and 'hands
you the role. It Ma,y then out that
you are cast for a triumphant king.
It may be fora slave who dies of tor-
ture. What does that matter to the
good actor? HO can play either part.
His only business is to ticeept the role
given him and to perform it Well. * *
Success or failure is a thing he can de-
termine Without stirring a hand. It
hardly interests him. What interests
hita is that one thing which he eannot
determine -the actiori of your tree and

Construction of Big Guns,
The Makieg of a big gun involves as
much intricate Work as the putting to-
gether of a loeometiVe or a giant
crane. A twelve inch gun on board
a battleship if fifty feet in length, and
has an. extreine ralige of 25 miles, and
an effective range of twelve miles.
There is a vast =bunt of intricate
and delicate trained workmanship
wanted in the finish of a giant Can-
non. Iror example,. Says a writer in
the Millgate Monthly, the breech block
has to undergo eighteen or twenty ma-
ehinitigs, And all the medley of medh.

ous MAAS of ordnance to move to the

Giant and Dwarf Honey Bees.
In some of the East Indian Ielands
and on the mainland of Hindustan
are to be fcund the smallest species
of honey bees in the world. These
dwarf honey collectors are known to
entomologists an Allis florea. Their
honeycombe are no longer than a
child's hand and the cells are about
the size of a small pin head. This
honey is excellent, as is the wax. The
little creatures build the comb on the
branch of a low tree, and ea they
have not to provide for winter they
work ail the year through, ra'sin.g
broods like themselves.
In the same land there is a species
of giant bees, Apis dorsata, as large
as a field tricket. These monsters
of the bee world build Innieycombs
that are from six to seven feet in
length; four or more in width, and
weigh from 300 to 400 pounds each.

Light of the Fiiefly.
Probably an' kir back an 1723 it was
known that the luminorei parts of fire-
flies, glowworms, ate., could be dried
and preserved out of cootact with the
air for considerable periods without
losing their light giving power. In late
years it has been possible to prove this
permanence of the light giving power
for at least eighteen months. Kaetle
and McDermitt were able, upon open-
ing tubo e containing the luminous or-
gans of the common firefly preserved
in hydrogen or a vacuum, to obtain
quite a brilliant light by simply mois-
tening with water. The light was in-
creased when hydrogen peroxide re-
plaeed water. IIowevet, scientiets have
yet to discover the firefly's secret of
prOducing light without heat,

Maybe you've been in the woods
some day cad heard a eqUawking and
fluttering in a tree over your head.
You look and see a pair of frightened
birds darting this way and that about
their mot on a limb. You look closer,
and you see a long, black t3nake creep-
ing along the limb to the nest. In a
minute he will have devoured the
young birds or eggo in the nest and
then stretch out on the limb for his
afternoon nap. The name of this rob-
ber is the pilot 'snake.
He's one of the boldest burglars
among our snakes, and birds are his
principal victims, He ca.n climb trees,
clamber over buohes and race over the
ground with equal speed. He grown
to be from four* to six feet long, arid
in the woods he looks terrible, but he
isn't,
He's entirely nonvenomous, and lie
doesn't "charm" bird's, as many people
begeve. It may be that a bird will
become so frightened at seeing one et
these reptiles attacking her nest that
elle will become virtually helpless. But
an for charm, that's all a myth. The
Pilot snake damn' t neea to charm his
prey. He's too good a climber.
Often the pilot mike is mistaken for
tito blacksnake. The latter has a
white throat and. is bluish rather than
black. The young pilot snake hes.
white spot. In addition to birds and
eggs, it °ate insects and even smalt
animals. It will climb a tree and
crawl into a squirrel's ne3t to devour
the young equirrels.-Our Dumb Ant -

Anaesthetic for the Teeth Wanted.
There in no local eameethetic that
will penetrate dentine, -which forms
tho principal Part of a tooth. That le
Why dentists hurt teeth so much when
drilling holes in them for fillings or
when grinding them down for gold
crowns. Any one who will invent
something that can be put on a tooth
to render it inseneitive for ten min-
utes without injuring it has a fortune
awaiting him.
Cocaine and novbcaine, which are
iteed as local anaesthetics in other
Parts of the body, have no etfect upon
the teeth, an they cannot penetrate the
hard tissue of which these aro com-
posed.
An Old Alarm Olook,
At Schramberg, in the Black Forear,
there is a respectable alarm cloak that
-warned sleepers it was thne to get up
when Charles I. was King of England.
This was made in 1680, and it is deem-
ed a remarkable piece of workman-
ship. Itt form it resembles a lantern
wLerein is a lighted candle, the wick
of which is automatically clipped
every minute by it pair of scissors.
The candle is slowly pushed .upward
by a spring, which also controls the
mechanism of the clock, and at the
required hour or waking an alarm is
sounded, and at the same time the
movable sides of the lantern fall and
the room is flooded with light.

A Shabby Royalyalmoe.
The Persian royal palace is a inost
unattractive place. The courts aro
filled with painted pictures of cast
Iran itt a kind of operatic Romeo's
costume and with boys of gilt iron of-
fering vermillion cups to gilt eagles.
The tanks are stagnant and shabby,
the gardens neglected. The rooms
are horrible even for one of those
monuments of bad taste •called royal
Palaces; the walls are covered with
mirrors, and a decoration made of
small pieces of mirror set in elabor-
ate patterns, the effect reminding one
of a wedding cake. The furniture is
without exception European, of poor
quality and worse taste; there is not
a single one of those exquisite works
of • Persian .art which in the collect-
ions of Europe arouse enthusiasm -
pot so much as it fine carpet. Neither
the famous peacock throne -so long
erreneouely thought to be the one
built for (he grcat•moghal and looted
by Nadir Shah -nor any of the jew-
els are now exhibited. Local gossip
believes them to have been broken up
and sold 'in Europe by the ',present
