Ilal's face grows longer and more dread stricken. "Thank you -I mean I shall be very glad," he says, in the voice of a first- class undertaker. "How kind!" murmurs Maud, smiling down at him as if he were an interesting baby in long clothes. "Good -by, dear Jeanne, god -by! Mind you are not to ask Mr. Bel who the mysterious strang- er is? Perhaps he's a prince in disguise!" .And they both laughed a high falsetto. "Who's that?" asked Hal, aroused to interest, "tho man who has taken Brown's diggins?" Both nod with well -feigned playful- ness. "Yes; isn't it mysterious?" "Not a bit," says Hal, who has all his sister's directness; "lie's an artist. I saw old Brown take an easel and a Iot of things out of his cart. He's an artist." "An artist !"echoes q toe Maud, intone Of supercilious disappointment, and with as much contempt as if Hal lead said "a chimney sweep."' "Oh, really 1 It's too absurd, ain't it, hear ?" appealing to Jeanne. "Fancy our thinking papa ought to call !" and she laughed disdainfully. "It's quite too amusing. An artist ! Of course, when one thinks of it, lie couldn't be a gentle- man coming to Regis for the winter." Jeanne says nothing. Hal stares and thrusts his hands deep into his pockets, and so in another chorus of good-bys, the Park ladies take their departure. Hal draws - long breath, which cul- minates in a whistle, and dances the jov- ial steps of an emphatic `'breakdown," "Thank goodness, they've gone. Of all the idiots--" "That will do, Hal." "Well, they are, now, aren't they ? An artist. Thought he was a gentleman." mimics the boy, throwing up his eye - brows after Miss Maud's fashion; "I do wish I'd said he was a patent -lotion man; that would have fetched them, eh, now Jeanne ?" Jeanne smiles, and with a sudden throwing up of her well-rounded, grace- ful arms, springs on tiptoe, as if throw- ing off a huge j,. �ieht. "Oh, Hal, how glad I was to see you. They would have stayed for another hour. I feel as if I had been choked. Hal. let as go out; I want to breathe." "Come on." says I1al. "Aunt hos an- other mile of sausage skins to fill, and Bell" "Mr. Belt." "Well, Mr. Bell won't be here for an: other half hour. Let's go and have a snowball." "Come on. then,' cries Jeanne, spring- ing to the door', here lately serene eyes lighting up and dancing. "Mind, you are to play fair, Hal." "All right," he responds, snatching up his cap. `'`Come around to the front; aunt can't see us from the kitchen win- dow." Jeanne looked around eagerly for her hat (it is s>t the present moment lying ander the sofas, and in place of it, she catches up a dark -blue shawl. With a quick jerk of the lithe wrists, she ties this around her head, and, with a bound, is out in the open air, and the next mo- ment is scraping up the snow. "Wait -wait !" she cries.,,in suppress- ed eagerness: "you said you would play fair -wait till I get four -no five !" for Hal's only reply to her appeal is a round ball of snow which flies past her head. "'Well, then, there !" and raising her arms, she hurls back defiance. Flushed with excitement, the full hot blood of youth blazing in her cheeks, and dancing in steer eyes, lithe and grace- ful as a young savage, she bounds for- ward to the rttack, and darts aside to avoid the answering missle. Suppressed laughter ripples between her rets, half - parted lips, snow spots her dark dress and clings to the bronze -gold hair and blue shawl. Jeanne is happy!

A!1 druggist, Signatures of the Future. The time will probably conte when the natural signature, the impression of the thumb or finger tip, will be widely used for purposes of identification. If the thumb be lightly pressed upon a surface smeared with printing ink and then pressed upon clean paper an impression is obtained which is distinctive for the particular individual who owns the mem- ber. No two thumbs or fingers are alike in the arrangement of their multitudin- ous lines; each, therefore, is a seal which is unique and a seal which cannot read- ily mislaidor lost.Thepolice ty be French use this test to assure themselves of the identity of a prisoner; but surely the system could bo usefully extended. A newspaper correspondent who recently pleaded for such an extension of the thumb mark test stated that. once when abroad he was in great straits for mon- ey, although he held checks for a con- siderable amount, simply because he could not prove his identity. If the local banker had only had an impression of his finger tip, as well as authority to pay, all difficulty would at once• have vanished. HE TELLS THEM ITO ASK THE I.O.F. James J.

New York's Blackmailing Police. Of all the despicable methods adopted by members of the New York police force to add to their income outside of legiti- mate sources, there is none quite so mean and worthy of contempt as the' practice of arresting women for blackmailing 'fur - poses, or 'to compel them to secure pro- fessional bondsmen with whom the police divide fees. This practice was largely broken up during the Low regime, but it seems to have revived under the pres- ent administration. A particularly flag- rant case was that which happened a few days ago when a young mulatto woman was arrested on the charge of being a disreputable character. When she was brought into court, the presiding judge, being impressed with a belief in her inno- cence, took pains to make a personal in- quiry of the poor girl's employers, who lived in a suburb, and found that she had told the etruth, the employers de- claring that they would vouch for her respectability. It sakes no difference that the victim in this case happened to bo a colored girl; it may be a young white girl next time. Cases like this, which was clearly a put-up job, ought to bring down upon the perpetrators the severest penalties applicable to offenses of this character. A policeman guilty of making nn illegal and uncalled-for arrest for the sake of what there may be in it for his own pocket should be dismissed front the force instantly. -Les- lie's Weekly.

This last some- thing is, of course, advertising and "with- out it the other four conditions of busi- ness have no substantial value."

For all of the neighbors aro within speaking distance now, and it is easy to chat with the man on the next farm or in the new county for that matter as for city people to talk over the back yard fence. And while it is not by any means sure that the improvements on the old farm are bet- ter off there than anywhere else. But some of them do not find that out until it 1s too late. A few had to go to tho cities to win out, and would probably have failed it they had styed 0n tho farm.

The little boys are so polite, The kindest ever seen; They hurry home from school at night And keep their faces clean; To help their mothers Is delight, They're never cross ,or mean. The little boys are good to -day, They never fret nor frown, They mind their mothers every way, The cirrus is in town; They want to watch the monkeys play, They want to see the clown,.

(London Globe.) Tho winter palace of the Czar's is a fit- ting centre from which to carry on the fell work of repression allotted to Trepoff. Almost every stone of the walls and every square yard of the plaster lining them cost n life. Nicholas had given the order that tho palace roust be rebuilt in a year, and what was human life against the depot's will? Six thousand men, were kept at work da yand night, with the palace heated at 30 Reamur to dry the walls rapidly, The men could only work with lee packs on their heads, and, experiencing a dally change of GO degree, they died by the score every day. By the end of the year the death roll was some thousands, but the palace was fin- ished.
