As the blue shadows of the snow vanished
and ore n'ace to the advancing dusk of
night we searched keenly for willow clumps
that could afford shelter and fuel, and having
come to some suite:late spot we silently halt-
ed, turned our toboggan with its load on
edge, so ae to afford shelter for the fire
whioh we soon had alight. Then, taking
out our robe, we lay close together, cold in
body and in manner, but rolled as near to-
gether as possible for the sake cf the animal
warmth our bodies effarded to eaoh other.
I had become the more energetic of the
two, and one evening as we continued our
march I found that my companion and
whilom friend wao lagging behind. I saw
It, I am ashamed to say, with delight. "Now
I will make hiln speak," thought I, with
malicious joy. On I went, tremping the

Re entirely diaoards for the time all things
of red color, and he takes the red coloring
eff the furniture of bis house. Rsd is the
eolor of prosperity in China. It means lucky,
and the ordinary Chinese visiting card is a
atrip of red paper as long as it government
envelope. While In mourning he prints
his name on white visiting candle and
he does this for three years. At
the end of that time he puts on garments
of a modified oolor and writes on his visiting
cards the word "tam," which means, "My
grief is not so bitter as befom." Ceineee,
and in fac' all nations of the Orient, are more
rigid as to their terms of mourning than we
are. The Chinaman who would nob pub on
mourning for his father would be arrested,
and in Corea a man is expected to clothe him-

An Unworthy Suspicion,
Mr. MoSwat plaited up a doughnut that
lay on hie plate, examined its critically, made
O mental estimate of its weight and laid it
down.
"Lobelia," he said, "did you make this ?"
"I did, Billiger," replied Mrs. Ma wat,
proudly. "I'll have a whole plateful of them
on the table in it moment."
Me. MeSwat made no reply. He was
thinkb3y of the $10,000 for which he had
insured his life the day before and as he
looked at that doughnut awl then at his
innocent sad unsuspecting young wife it
