Ile says the habit of saving can be acquired more easily than a lot of bad habits. Once the wage-earner accumulates moo, he will be astonished at the sense of securi- ty which his frugal habits have given him, and his little nest -egg will grow rapidly. Mr. Carnegie's advice is good. The difficulty is that too few appreciate the wisdom of such a course while they are young and able to save considerable, even from small earnings.

"I see," said the Infartt 'slowly. "I'm not a bit clever, Mae. Burnish; every- body tells ane I'm an awful ase. I ex- pect you'll think arse one when 1 h,ave told you what 1 am—" "Hero comes Lady Murchison," said the widow sharply'. The young anan's voice had risen, and two or three peo- ple had turned their heads, 'I want to have a little ehat with her, , just between two old women, you know," then added with a smile as the Infant rose to his feet blushing furiously with a mute appeal in his eyes: "Come and ;we me to -morrow after- noon." The iboy's face lighted ine joyously, and holding her hand for a few min- utes more than necessary he darted off to another part of the rooan, and soon afterwards left Lady Murchi- son's house and betook himself Pic- cadilly -wards in a whirlwind of ex- citement and suspense. Lady Murchison, a corpulent lady with a kind face and the homely manner of a farmer's wife, seated herself beside the young widow. "Wasn't that !sealing Hatedelaelegl. she asked, "Yes," said Mrs. Hilory Burlash, quietly. Lady Murchison vas silent for a few moments, then ehe blurted out suddenly: "Do you care for him. Phylis?" The widow fenced the question. "He'is a young idiot," burst out the elder woman warmly. Then she laid her hand on the vridow's shoulder. "Now don't be offended at what I am going to say, Phil; we are old friends, so I am going to speak my mind. Before you arrived from India a few weeks ago young Ilardslade made violent love to Peggy Loriston, everyone thought the engagemenit would he announced in due course.

Now, if you are only playing with this • :boy, abandon the game; you are making a 'worse idiot of him than nature already made him, and you're breaking the heart of one of the best little girls that ever bresethed." It was about the longest speech that Lady Murchison had ever delivered, and at the conclusion he sat gasping for breath, her shrewd, kindly eyes fixed on her friend's face. The widow's careless, half-eynical ;mine had vanished, and the blue eyes looked troubled. "Silly girl!" she said at length, with more pity than scorn. "No man is worth it." "You haven't -answered my ques- tion," insisted her hostess who, :hav- ing screwed up her courage to make the attack, was determined not to retreat. Burlash did not answer airect- ly, the white, well -shaped fingers were beating a noiseless tattoo on the email table, "Well, Mabel," she said, "you bare been 'frank -with 131e, with your brutal frankness that is eo refreshing, and I will be frank with you.

The captain gravely inclined his head, but said nothing. He had resolved. to make silence on his part his strong card in the interview, "She said," pursued the Infant, ner- voualy, after a long pause "that you would tell me something about her." "I would rather not," said Chambers, gravely. The boyish Viscount started. "You don't mean—" "I don't mean anything," said the captain, shortly. The whole affair jarred hira. "Mrs. Burlash was out in India when I was out there, with her bus - band' a regiment. He wasn't it bad. chap, but Ire drank and drank, and the elk? mate didn't agree, so he died young. Mrs. Burlash was extremely popular in Bombay." Chambers paused, and then, -with an uncomfortable feeling that he had not obeyed the widow's request, he added; "More I do not care to say." The Infant was silent for some time, the elder man way eyeing hira keenly. "I see," he Raid, slowly; then, wiping the perspiration from his brow; "By Gael, I've had a narrow eicapol" With great difficulty Chambers re- frained from kicking him, and allowed him to depart in peace. "893 Belgrave Square," was the In- fant's command to the cabby he hailed at Piccadilly Circus. 893 13elgrave Square was the mei deuce of broken-nearted Peggy Loriston. As soon as the boy had departed Cap- tain Chambers went for a long stroll -in the park, and dropped into his club for half an hour or so, and then hurried back to the Albany; he lunched quietly by hiraeelf, and then startled his servant by sending him out to buy a button -hole. At half past three, arrayed in a grey frock coat, with a deep red carnation fixed to the lapel, a glossy silk hat and highly polished patent boots, he shamefacedly presented himself at Mrs. Hilary Burlash's flat. Immediately the greeting was over, and he had carefully placed his huge form in a particularly thin chair, he demanded an explanation of the strange letter, and related what had. oc- curred that morning. The pretty young widow flushed. "It was in the nature of a test,' she said, quietly, keeping her eyes lowered, "I wanted to iisad out if the Infant's love for me was as great as it appeared on the surface. If he had really loved me there would have been a scene with you, and he would have been here half an hour later, and -and I heard a poor little girl was heartbroken bemuse he had deserted her." There was a pause. "That," said the Captain, gravely "proves the falsity- of one of your pet cynicisms." "Whieh?" "That love is selfish." "Oh, no," replied Mrs. Burlash, with a little rippling laugh, "it was because I sacrificed a title for a fortune be- cause I wasn't sufficiently in love." "Oh," said the captain. His bronzed face had taken a deeper hue; he looked up at the ceiling, and then fixed his keen grey eyes upon the widow's face, "Supposing," he said, rather hoarsely, "supposing it man came to you and own- ed be was selfirsh, he was lonely, and he wanted you to make his dreary life worth living. Supposing he told you that he had tried to kill that love be- cause he was rapidly becoming an old man, with a strong dislike to society - society as it is to -clay --and would not ask a girl to tie herself to a crusty old bachelor? Woula you laugh and dismiss him with a cynicism, Millicent?" Chambers had erossed over, and was bending over the woman's chair trying to see her face. "It -it would depend on the man," she said, softly. "I am the man." The widow said nothing, but her eyes met his. • By a peenliar coincidence, on the day that Captain Chanibers and Mrs. Hilary Burlash were quietly married at it Registry Office off the Strand, the engagement was announced of Viaeount Hardslaele to Miss Margaret (Peggy?) Loriston, and rumor had it that the young couple were head over heels in love with each other. So everyone was pleased. -By C. Mal- colm Hincks, M "M. .A. P." PAPER TEARING. An Explanation of a Clever Stage Trick So an Amateur Can Do It. The aniateur COlijtirer of twenty -fiats years ago Who were called upon to "do a triek" frequeritly reeponded by tearing up a sheet of cigarette paper, rolling the pietas lato a. tiny ball, and then re, 'producing the sheet fitted a few min- utes later. This Was done by substitut- ing it whole piece that was concealed between the fingers for the torn pieces whirl', in turn, were Maden in the mouth when the performer pretended to wet his fitg6r so as to open -out the crum- pled -up sheet. The trick was almtest fergotten, when it was revived a short time ago by a publio performer, in a elute* more suit-, able ter *taiga presentation. Inetead Of a sheet Of cigarette paper a ottrip of red tiesue paper was Peed. This was about An MoI& in width itkl a yard or so In length. Baring his arms aria terming wide hie fingera to show that nothing was coneeteled there the /*dormer in quistlan tore the p6;Ater, in two, then, (oldiag the phieet t her, tore them in lour, and io etnitinted until no one place Watt more, than two and a half Mabee it length, Theta Were gathered together, rolled sip, and finally pulled oat Ise oat take Ott*, as it Wive it flint, At 114 time had the performer's hands eome near Ms becly. How the man Who revived title Wade did it I cannot say positively, for IAD never told me. I have heard that he used what is known as a "hold. out," a delicately conatructed steel lazy -tongs widen, concealed in the sleeve, euablee the man who cheats a earth to intro- duce a desired card into the hand or take out an undesirable one. It is worked by it lever controlled by tbe one who uses it aad is an expeneive affair. I have never tried, this method, and cannot answer for it, bat there is a way of doing the trick that I can recent - mend, and that is with a thimble. Not the ordinary sewing thimble, bat one made of thin brass, modeled and colored to represent the first joint of a thumb. When properly made and placed osi- tion it is almoet impossible to dot . It is in this thimble that a daplic ; rip of tissue paper IS hidelen, and its s. here the torn pieces are titeWed awaybefore the elm of the trick. It ecquires no little practice to do the Wok neatly and properly, but it is worth the time epent on it. One objection to the Above method is the difficulty cif getting a well made thimble, end a further objection is in the USO of apparatus at all. To meet'these objections I would. suggest another method of which every one may avail himself, In this method two etripe of tissue paper are used; red is the better, if a red can he found that will not rub off when wet, but if that cannot he had white will do. The size is that already mentioned. The duplicate piece is plait- ed, not rolled, and concealed in a little pocket made of the same paper as the !etrips. This peeket is pasted on the 'back of the strip that is to be torn about the centre. In tearing the strip the performer tears off ono end. of the pocket, and, securing the duplicate skip, holds it between the second and third fingers of the left hand. When the strip 161 torn into pines two and one-quarter inches in length the performer rolls them into a tiny wad, which he conceals be- tween the tips of the index finger and the second finger of the right hand. Holding the left palm upward, the per- former places between the tips of the first finger and thumb the duplicate strip and the wad of torn bits. With his right forefinger and thumb, which, without calling attention to it, he man- ages to show are empty, he seizes olie end of the duplicate piece, and, as he draws it out a foot or so, blow e on it. To do, this the left hand naturally ap- proaches the mouth, and into it, at the first opportunity, is popped the little wad. With this move the trick is done, but the performer continues to pull out the strip and blow on it, until its full length is revealed. This form of the trick, which is explained now for the first time, has puzzled really professional magicians.-Fram "Methods of Magi - clans" in April St. .Nicholas. A BRIGHT CITIZEN. The Experiences of a Hindu Gentle, man in South Africa. .Apparently to the average colonial railed a highly educated Hindu gentle- men, a British subject, a barrister of the Inner Temple, is identical with a coolie. He is regarded as it "nigger" is regarded in Carolina, and the British Government ie incapable of protecting him against the treatment which in a eless civilized place is the natural result of such a view. Mr. Gandhi first went over to South Africa to conduet an ira- portaut lawsuit in 1893. His earliest experiencewas to be turned out of a first-class railway car and ordered into the "van compartment," and when he took the stage coach he was knocked down by the driver Sa Dulehnum). He was not Admitted to the Grand National Hotel at Johannesburg and semi kicked off the path in front of President Kru. ger's house by the sentry. In Natal he found the Ministry embarking on a. cam- paign of disabling bills against native Indians, and here he started on what may be called his political career as the leader of the Indian community in South Africa. On his return from India, whi- ther he had proceeded to fetch his wife and children, it mob of three thousand persons prevented the ship for SOn10 time from landing their Indian passen- gers at Durban. During the war Mr. Gandhi organized the corps of Indian stretcher bearers, which rendered fine service at Spion Cop and elsewhere, This splendid volunteer work might well have been the begin- ning of better relations between colon- ists and Indians, but the new English administrators were not sympathetic. The insulting registration law was pass- ed and complied with under protest, and the promise to repeal it was . then ibraleen. " During the plague outbreak of 1904 and the Zulu rebellion of 1905, Mr. Gandhi and other Indians were of great assistance, but they did not receive any better treatment in consequence. They have elm* entered on a campaign of "passive resistance." This lute cost Mr. Gandhi two sentences of two months' imprisonment among the moat ruffianly scoundrels, white and black; which the colony ean produce. Some of his ex- periences in priaon will not bear quota- tion.s.
