About nion's buainess to and fro,
But I, the eggshell pinnace, sloop
Oxi crystal watera, ankle doop:
I, Wixom diminutive design,
Of sweeter cedar, pitchier phm,
Is falhioned on so frail a mold
A hand amus launch, a baud withhold,
I, the unnamed, inviolate,
Green, rustic rivers navigate.
ply dippins paddle seemly shakes
The berry In the bramble bruises.
Still forth on my green way I wend
Beside tho cottage garden end.
And by the nested angler fare
And take the lovers enaware,
By willow, wood and water wheel
Speedily emits my touching keel;
By all retired and shady spots,
Where prosper dim forgetmenote.

SANDY'S GIIOST.
" 'Conimprdations fer the night,
s(ranger? \Vaal, yes; I reckon we can fix
a place fer you. Hey a cheer an sot you
down."
"Thank you. Don't you find this rather
a lonely place -no neighbors, no nothing,
that I can see? How mune you to settle
bore, so far removed from other habita-
tion)"
"Waal, perhaps it's best nob tor ask too
many questions for once."
"Beg your pardon. No offense Was in-
tended, I assure you. Simply idle curi-
osity:"
"Don't say 'nuther word, stranger, Wit
come 115 /In we'll hey a suaek fer supper.
Polly, bring on the victu'ls. Yer jes' In
time."
Polly at once obeyed. Bhowas a typical
western girl -tall, litho, graceful and
limpid eyed. She was clear skinned and
high spirited, too, and in thls case igno-
rant through no fault of her own. John
Barr's oyes scanned her intently, and a
flush 'came to her checks. For the first
time in her life sho was unpleasantly con -
salmis of her bare feet. It may have been
this that nuele her stumble and spill some
of tho contents of an earthen bowl over
tho guest's knees as she placed it on the
table.
Her eyes flashed and a tear of anger
twinkled cm tho lashes. She etoppod, half
meaning to apologizo, but an oath from
her father caused her to sot the bowl down
heavily and to hurry front the cabin. A
moment later Parr saw a flutter of pink
calico from bellied a pile of rooks. Old
Kit Robinson saw it too.
"Don't wonder at yor sayin '5 right.
She's a szna't gal an a good looker, too,
an should hev boon sent away frum here
ter school ter be eddicated. But she won't
leave her no 'count dad. 1 orter be shot for
enssin her. But I ain't what I 11E0 tor be.
&Attu hero an keepin guard snakes mo
nervous."
Barr's eyes asked the question his lips
refused to speak. Supper eaten, the men
went outside and sat with their chairs tilt-
ed back against tho cabin. Something in
. the younger man's frank face bad softened
old Kit into a reminiscent mood and made
him strangely -inclined 'to gratify an idle
ouriosi ty.
Tho soft evening winds sighed through
the branches of the tall spruce pines, and
the declining rays of the setting sun caused
the shadow of the rude home to stretch
out longer across the greensward. From
its shelter where bo sat John Barr looked
out on the grand ranges of the Rookies
and wondered where in their vastness be
would find tho man he sought -the find-
ing of whoin had brought bine out into
this wild and almost forsaken mining
camp.
"Stranger, I've took o likfn ter you.
Ye've a sunithin about you thet reminds
me of sum ono I know, an you look like
an honest chap. Say, do you b'lieve in
ghosts?"
He put the question very suddenly, and
a look of disappointment crossed his face
when Barr told lain that he did not be-
lieve in spooks.
"Waal, I'vo seen 'em 1" '
A thought connecting the pink calico
with something in the past came to 13arr's
mind.
"Can't you tell ine about it," he asked.
"I'd like for if you'll sw'ar on yer der-
ringer never ter blab. 'Will you sw'ar?"
Tho solitary guest started to smile, but
the smile faded 435 1120 thought of unshed
tears in Polly's eyes. It might make -it
easier for her if he humored the old man.
"I'D swear," ho said. .And he did.
"Do you see yan old spruce at the turn
of the trail an the cliff' jes' above? Waal,
that's tho spot 110 watchin an guardin till
the owner cants ter claim it. I'm quick
ter linen powder an a pretty sure shot. I
know a man when I sees him, an I ain't
easy fooled. Waal, ter begin with, I had
loardpor once, an he wuz a man sure
'nough. Ho wuz Crum the state of New
York. I never axed him as ter how so fine
a gent cum ter be diggin an shoy'lln in
tho Rockiee, though tor myself I said thar
wuz sum good reason. Ile had light hair,
an we called him Sandy fer short, an he
wuz jes' erbout ns gritty LAS sand. We wuz
as unlike as any two fellers you ever saw.
He wuz quietlike an st0130y, an 3 wuz sort-
er wild a reeklese an liked mounting clew
mos' too well. Waal, when wo had a lit-
tle dust scent:eel together, wo would divvy,
an I tuk my share way down for the sta-
tion on the other side of tho cliffs an sent
it off ter tho bank in Helena, But I idlers
left sum hid whar tho gni would find it.
Old Sandy hal 01111 n bank of his own thet
no ono know erbout 'eeptin hisself, an
ev'ry time wo divided he'd carry part of it
ter his bidin place an then give Ibo rest tor
me ter send ter his boy, thee he said* wuz
being oddieated in sum college way up in
Boston. Ho seemed ter think a heap of
Shot boy. Arter awhile my old woman
give out, an soon we laid her away on the
hillside It w1.17, hard, stranger."
Old Kit's voice failed him for a mo-
niont, but ho quickly regained his compo-
sure and continued:
' "But when old Sandy, my good old
pard, givo up I didn't keer for within. We
buried him in style. All the boys frum
round tho diggin's wuz thar, an many an
eye wttz wet. We didn't hov nary a preach-
er, but the gal she prayed at the grave.
Fee the life of mo I don't know whoro ahe

a letter thet Sandy give her jes' afore he
died. It was tor his boy, an she wuz ter
give it tar him if he ever oum out this
way, an she's got it yet.
"That Sonia evenin after supper, feelin

top of the edge of the big rook an got tor

Hoed it wuz plum dark, an as these moun-

ain't got his ehoutin irons on, I cut a
pretty swift gait fer the shack.
"gee' as I cum round the bend thar at
the pine I happened ter look up terward

wuz him sure as yer born. My feet felt
heavy as lead, an I couldn't move frum the
spot. I tried ter holler, but it warn't no

terward tho clift, an thar he cot aanarkin
an a-scratehin on the rOck with his fingers
an still leukin sad. Now, this bein the
third time, I got kinder bold, an I went a
little cluster an isaye:
" 'Sandy, wha-what's the ma -mat -mat-
ter with yob? Didn't the boys do the
piantin right for yuu?'
"Then as luek would her it I thought
of sumthin (lieu right quick, an I said:
" 'Or is it tho dust you hev hid whar yer

"Weal, 110 looked up then, an the hap-
pielit &sidle cum tor his face, an all for

"Let's seo. What did you say yor name

"Pardon IMO. I thought I had told you.
My name is John Willett Darr."
"Polly, oh, Polly! Cum hyar, gal
What WWI Sandy's full name? I plum for-

"What you want ter know for?" sho
asked. "I ain't tt-goin ter tell you now.
Thetes own secret."
"Cum, 01110, gal. Tell me toronce, or it
won't be he'ithy fer you."
"Waal, then," she answered stubbornly,
"it's John Willett Darr."
At her reply the younger man's face
grew deathly pale, and he started up from
his chair, but Kit thrust him back into
his seat, sayieg :
"Bring mo tho letter, Polly."
"What aro you min ter do with it, paP"
she inquired cautIonsly.
"I promisedesid Sandy on my oath ter
keep it till the right one eums erlong ter
claim it, en I mean ter keep my word.
Tho right ono is hero, gal. Thar be sits.
So trot thet letter out an don't parley long
with me if you knows when yet -well ofl."
Polly stared at the younger man in ut-
ter bewilderment for a eaoment. Then,
turning slowly, she stepped quietly into
the cabin after tho precious document, an
unusual gleam of joy lighted up her face
and a suppressed excitement shining in
her eyes. Under her breath sho said,
"Sunlhow er ruther I felt he wuz the right
ono."
Too truly, John Barr realized in that
painful moment that ho who/is he sought
was now dead to him; that the father
from whom be had been parted so many
years was sleeping that long, dreamless
sleep in the clay mound on the hillside,
which marked his hist resting place. As
be turned to look at the face of old, honest
Kit, who had been his father's friend dur-
ing those long years of forced exile, a hap-
py smile lit up the old miner's rugged
features as he pointed with his finger to
the rock cliff near the old spruce vino and

The American's ''Bovrde?"
"The salutation, 'How do you do?'" ex-
plained a state department linguist to a
Star reporter, "is general throughout civ-
ilization, though Amerieans boil it down
more than any other nation in their one
word, 'Howde?"The Frenchnian, to ex-
press the seine idea, has to use, 'How do
you carry yourself?' The German says -
that is, he uses Gorman words which mean,
'llow does it go to you?' Likewise, the
Spanish, 'Como este ustod?' which means,
'How do you stand?' The Chinaman,
when he wants to say 'How do you do?'
uses words which mean, 'How do you run
along today?' The Rattan is almost in
the same fix, while tho Arab uses words
which mean, 'Do you stand or do well?'
Tho Portuguese says in his own words, of
course, 'How's your good health now?' and
the Indian goes a stop further and says:
'You look vvell. Do you feel so?' Tho
American's 'Howder is as expressive as
any of the others, as well as the briefest,"

A Singer's Cold.
A striking example of Charles Dickens'
chivalrous regard for an absent friend is
recalled by Dean Farrar. Mr. Sims Rooves
had been announced to sing at Asniall
public dinner at which Dickens presided,
and, as happened not infrequently, Mr.
Sims Reeves had something the matter
with his throat and was unable to attend.
Dickens Announced this, and the an-
nounoement was received with a general
laugh of incredulity. This made Dickens
very angry, and he rose manfully to the
defense of the delinquent. "My friend,
Mr. Sime Reeves," he said quietly, "re-
grets bis inability to fulfill his engage-
ment owing," be added, with eaustle
verity, "to an unfortunately amusing and
highly facetious cold." -Bookman.

"What do you think about the disciplin-

bo rooked or not be rocked?"
"Well," remarked the. old - bachelor
thoughtfully, \ "rooks, though perhaps a
trifle severe, may possibly bo the best tilde
*bate solution of the infant problem.

presbutakers' Superstitions.
Theatrical folk are goner:10y supposed

Another superstition of the dressmaker
concerns basting threads. Basting tlirende
' in a finished garment aro a sign that you
• haven't paid for it. It doesn't do the
slightest good to produce the reed wed 010.
'The dress:linker may have receipted the
bill herself, but if she finds a stray " hoist-
er" anywhere in the garment she has all
the air of douhting her own memory and
signature.
Another superstition is that when a
customer "tries on" a„ dress ekirt and-tho
hem at the back remains turned up in a
great peak it is a sign that she has 0 "new
