"They were all so angry with you,
that, without giving myself the trouble
to think (my usual way, yon know), I
took Lor granted that you weae a dread-
ful criminal; still I was as fond of you
as ever—but another would not hear of
my writing. Then I was so bewildered
about Finistoun. Ile cane and went, and
some people thought he was going to
marry Lady Georgina Fitz -Matinee; but
1 did not. At last it was aII settled;
then we were franitheally busy, and then
I was travelling so much, and so selfishly
happy, I never gave a thought to any
one, which is disgraceful, I know. Now,
dear, that I am married to the nicest,
kindest, pleasantest of men, I feel that
you were quite right to refuse Mr. War-
ing; Poor man—I liked aim very much,
It must be quite awful to bo united to
any one you cannot love with all your
heart. Of course, if Afro. Newburgh had
lived, it would have been different. I
have told Finistoun all about you. He
remembers you last year, and admires
you very much. He says you are a -plucky
girl, but does not think you were wise
to throw over Leslie Waring. Tho best
of men, dear Mona, have very little
sentiment about other people's marriages.
Let us hope they have about their own.

I do trust you are not very unhappy.
Berne said he met you, and that you
were looking well, and seemed quite
bright. Are you still living with that
Bice, pleasant Mrs. Debrisay? Pray give
her my kind regards. I am sure I used
to try her patiene. Tell her I had some
singing lessons when were were in Milan,
and Signor Sgaullicini--a great man, I
assure you—said I had been very well
taught.
"We are getting tilled of mov-
ing about, and intend returning
in August to Scotland. Finiatoun has
a deer forest in the Western Highlands.
We shall be there almost all the autumn.
If I can at all manage it, I will come and
see you as I pass through Landon; and
you must come and stay with me. I am
sure you will like Finistoun; he is not
exactly bandsome, but distingue, and
really very clever. My father thinks very
highly of him, and he is a. sound Con-
servative. The dear mother is flourishing
and looks forward to presenting Ger-
aldine next season. It is lonely, not
having a daughter 'out! Good-bye, dear-
est Mona. You will forgive my neglect
and grant I had a good excuse. Ever

"I am not so sure about that," said
Mona, smiling, as she put the letter,
which she had read aloud, back into its
envelope. "But I am most grateful to
'.ler for writing at all. She is -really a
nice, dear thing."

us and drifted behind.,'
What was the caribou doing? Apparently
signaling to what might bo others of his own
kind Out on the water.
The caribou's grunt or bark, es Professor
D. G. Eitot calls it, I have never hoard in
a sans of nature, but it Is said to be much
like that of the rbeindeer, and my notes
on this are very full.
"On July 4, 1900, got Into a herd of about
1,000 halt -wild reindeer. Their only vocal
sound Is a grunt. This Is utterod singly or
else doubled—that is, two are given in rapid
auccesslon. It is sometimes the call of a cow
to her calf, and sometimes 1s uttered by one
that to left behind, evidently a note of alarm
or inquiry to find out if bis friends aro close
at hand.'
But the most singular of the sounds made
by the caribou is the cracking of the hoof,
At each step each foot gives out a loud,
sharp crack.
Persons who have never heard It lu lido
have no difficulty in explainng it, "Of
course, the hoofs epread when they bear the
weight of the animal," they say, and when
lifted the hard surface springs together with
a crack," But a close observation shows
that the creek Is made by some mechanism
1n the foot, and it "goes off" while the
weight is on it.
It is not always one sharp crack, but
sometimes a crackle like several sounds
close together. Many examinations
showed that just as the foot Is relieved
of the animal's weight, but before any
part is off of the ground, the crack takes
place. The hoofs do not strike together
during the stride, and the crackle is not
heard until the foot is placed, and the
weight is on It, Thus it usually crackles
twice at the place of each track, always
once as the weight is coming on, usually
a second time as it is going off, I walked on
hands and knees by the side of a reindeer
again and again to make observations, and
finally induced ore to walk while at consid-
erable personal risk I kept my' hand on tho
knuckle joint. It was so violent that it jar-
red the hand laid on it. It was deep-seated
and on the level of the clouts or back hoofs
and appeared to be made by tendons or sesa-
molds slipping over adjoining bonds.
The sound Is easily heard at 60 feet to a
wind, and twice as far in still weather. When
a herd is moving along the countless crack-
les from their hoofs make a volume of low,
continuous sounds.
Tho object of this le doubtless the same
as that of the whistling of a whistler's wing
ori the twittering of birds migrating by
night. .

"Well, I'm very gind to bear that,"
responded the lady, with a relieved look,

"why should we worry, even if there was

Too Good to Live.
The grimy -looking tramp espied the
cottage door ajar and; little Johnnie
playing at marbles just inside, so he
pounced on his prey. "Look 'ere, young
'un," said he, taking tem by the collar
and shaking him, "just you tell me
where your father keeps all his money,
And if you don't, 1'!! knock your head
off, and then I'll eat you." "Oh please
don't do that, sir," said little Johnnie.
"You'll find all the money we've got
in an old waistcoat in the back kitchen,
Sixty seconds later a human aval-
anche was hurled bodily through the
front door. It alightde in the gutter
where it sat a while and opened and
shut its eyes to see if it was still alive.
Partially assured on that important
point at last, it said, "Tbat kid's too
good to live. He's too smart to be natur-
al. Never said a word about the old man
being inside o' that there old weskit."

Glass From Vesuvius Lava.
It is being pointed out for the consolation
of the people about Vesuvius that lava, like
adversity, has its 11505. It makes, for kV.
stance, a very beautiful glasa oe extraordin-
ary lightness. But curiously every volcano
sends out a special brand of lava with qual-
ities of its own, which San only be discovered
by esper,ence. The rich plains of Sicily owe
much al their fertility to decomposed lava, and
in South America volcanic soft is found to be
the best in the world for coffee growing,
though nervous planters would rather take
the soil without the volcano,
THE WORST HIND.
After Piles have existed for a time the
suffering is intense ---pain, aching, throb-
bing, tumors form, filled to bursting with
black blood.
This is when Dr. Leonhardt's Hem-
Roid, the only absolute Pile cure, brings
the results that has made its fame.
Hem-Roid will cure the most stubborn
case in existence and a bonded guarantee
to that effect goes with each package.

Time to Live on the Porch.
(Baltimore Sun.)
The parlor ought to- be deserted In summer
for the open air, and the dining room like-
wise. With hammocks and easy chairs a de-
lightful existence there is practicable, and
a stay there is much more health -giving than
in the contaminated air of a bedroom. Many
persons nowadays spend the night an the
Porch in summer, and a few find tho air
better there in winter also. A bare, bleak
porch exposed to the sun has Its drawbaeke,
but it can be made attractive by planting
around it in the spring quick-growning vines,
Porch furniture is now made in many styles,
inciudiug the indispensable table for books,
magazines, etc. Hanging baskets with flow-
ers and ferns have a decorative effect, Ev-
erything Is to be added that will charm the
household from the house into the open air.
