"Lucy Ann," said I, "did you ever -try walking as a relief to the mind? When anything goes wrong, I can al- most always get rid of it by pacing the floor." "When anything goes wrong with me," she replied, "I make it go right. That's better than getting rid of it." "You speak with the courdence of youth," said I. "Why shouldn't I?" she answered. A"1 have youth, and anybody can get confidence. So there you are. I have faith to believe that I shall have what I want in the world." "Might I venture to ask for a few Beta ils?"

But for that . glimpse of her that I had had, walking there like a little tigress in a cage, I never should have guessed that she was not altogether at peace. "I want to travel," she said. "It's not much fun to travel alone," I suggested. "1 will tell you a secret," she re- sponded. "It's not for the fun that 1 should go, but just to travel." "To get away from old surround- ings?" "It is so beautiful here!" she cried. } "Who could wish to go away? No, no; I want to take the surroundings with me and leave myself at home. Can you dis- entangle that nonsense?" "Easily," I replied. "And really it isn't nonsense. It is always possible to .go away and leave yourself at home. • The train starts every minute, and as much of you as you please gets aboard.

It was strange that this girl, obviously bred to all the conventionalities, should con- tent herself with so little chaperonage. There was no Longer any mystery about her so far as I was concerned. She was the original Bliss `Jones, and she shar- ed with Sibyl a half of the apple tree lodge. Probably Miss Scott was some one whom they knew and who occu- pied her present quarters upon their account. I could not see, however, that she was of any particular use.

There are strange tricks of sound on a still night. Those two people were talking when I first saw them—both at once, to judge by their attitude• Yet I heard only a faint murmur. Then, when I had taken not more than three steps toward them, Lucy Ann's voice became perfectly audible, though i am sure she spoke no louder than before. "I am so glad for you; so glad:" she said. "1 know that you will be very hanpy." I stopped short, and at' that moment they both saw me and began to walk toward me. Trask had a nervous air, and when he came close he looked at me with a singular embarrassment. Then he turned an eye on Lucy Ann, almost as if asking her advice. "I don't see any objection," said she, with a queer little laugh. "Suppose I tell him?" And, as he made no sign of negation, she continued: "There were two people who lived In a free country a long time without finding out about it. They imagined themselves to be chained in separate cells in the wilds of Siberia or some place like that. Their jailer's name was the Opposition of the Young Lady's Family, and he looked fierce, but in reality he was a paper dummy. So at last, encouraged by some of their friends, they decided to walk out, leaving the poor dummy to guard an empty prison.

We walked up the path together, and when we came to the corner of the house Trask said that he must go in and write some letters. Upon this 1 urged Lucy Ann to go out rowing up- on the lake, which was all blended gold and silver under the moon. It way clear that she wished to go, and very opportunely her aunt came by so that I was able to beg, her permission. Mrs. Almost Crazy With Witherspoon not ` only bears a name that Is on the Declaration of Inde• Nervous Headache pendence, but is herself descended from a strong man of those times. So she is thoroughly American in her ideas. "I don't see't 'you need `anybody's permission but Lucy Ann's," said she. "It looks so pretty," said the girl. "I doubt it'll be so pretty when you're there as it leeks from here," remarked Mee. Witherspoon. "That's the way of the world." "It is worth while to find out," re. joined Lucy Ann.

"I don't think it requires any vast amount of gray matter," said I, with some impatience. "To my mind it's a mere matter of perception."

"For myself, you know," he added, smiling in his sudden, bright, cheery fashion, "1 must know more about the matter before I can weep for the other persons concerned." "The first essential, as it seems to me," said 1, "is that you should know Miss Witberspoon. You have seen her, but of course it did not then occur to you" - 1 hesitated for the exact phrase. "It did not strike me as probable," said he, "that I should ever be asked to consider her as a member of the fami- ly, and the fact is that she was present not more than ten seconds.

"She is a young woman of somewhat humble birth, but excellent breeding and in- struction. 'Why have you rigged Miss Scott up like that.?'

So I thought no more about it till you mentioned tiee girl later, and then I didn't regard it as necessary to tell you that I had heard her name." "St. Peter!"

In reality self saveilice for the female. sex. or for the young i$ part of the seitento of nature, and every male thing is strong and splendid in appearance because lie is the descendant of those who have proudly hell and guarded "the privi- lege of death," Another writer tells a story which illustrates this point. Two entomologists, hunting at night, ebun- bei'ed over a gate with their swinging lanterns and found tbeutselvee ill a field filled with sheep. The result of their coming was pantie and a furious stam- pede. The sheep charged belter skeiter away from the lanterns and huddled to- gether at the far end of the tiel(b But there was a rant anueug them, and as the flock scurried away this Creature stood firth, covering tate retreat. Then, steadily and majestically, the huge ram advancer with lowered head toward the mysterious lights and pressed them bacl, to' the gate. This is only one graphic story of many that might be told of masculine courage throughout nature. Man has some virtues whieh animals, so far as we can judge, know noticing about; but heroism --the pride of affording protection to the weals and daring death for the security of the flock—is not a human attribute alone, any more than is maternal af- fection. A WOMAN'S NAME. Origin of the Custom of Changing It %Vhen She Harries. The custom which makes it proper for the wife to assume the name of her husband at marriage is involved in much obscurity. A recent authority advances the opinion that it origInatetl from a Roman custom and became common after the Itou:an occupation of England. Thus Julia and Octavio, married to Pompey and Cicero, were called by the Itomitus Julia of Pom- pey and Octavio of Cicero, and in later times the married women of most Eu- ropean countries signed their names in the sante way, but omitted the "of." In spite of this theory it is a fact that as late as the sixteenth and the be- ginning of the seventeenth century a Catherine Parr signed her mune with- out any change, though she had been twice married. We also hear of Lady Jane Grey, not Dudley, and Arabella Stuart, not Seymour, etc. Some think that the custom originated with the Scriptural idea that the husband and wife are one. This was the rule of law as far back as 1208, and it was de- cided in the case of Bon versus Smith in the reign of Elizabeth that a woman by marriage loses her former name and legally receives the name of her husband.

It is supposed that the crusaders brought the idea of using the wind to grind corn or raise water back with 1 them from the east. Early writers record their wide- spread employment in Europe in the twelfth century. Beckmann gives an instance of one at l'ipewell abbey, Northamptonshire. in 1143, and we also read of one, about 1100, at IIaberdon, In Suffolk. Anuther early instance of an English windmill is that in which Richard, earl of Cornwall, took refuge after the battle of Lewes in 1204. In the famous song connected with that event the "sayles" of the "mulne" are mentioned. showing that it really was a windmill. The oldest windmill in Belgium and probably the oldest in Europe, the his- toric "Grand Moulin de Silly," was to- tally destroyed by the great storm at the end of January, 1000, after a con- tinuous existence since the eleventh century.

It is a strange fact that nearly all great men have a tinge of melancholy in their blood and are subject at times to periods of great depression. Napo- leon at the beginning of his career was in great financial distress and was pre- vented from drowning himself only by the timely pecuniary aid of a school- mate. Bismarck is said to have de- clared after the battle of Sadowa that he would have killed himself had the Prussians been beaten, and Byron while writing "Childe Harold" declared he would have blown his brains out but for the reflection that it would give pleasure to his mother-in-law. The reasons for self destruction are • - often very curious. Men have frequent- ly been known to put au end to their lives to escape toothache .,r other pains, while the dread of disease has been known to affect the mind to such an extent that the victim has destroyed himself rather than face it. Weariness of money and good things to eat have been the cause of suicide. One man drowned himself in the Seine because of the color of this hair, which was flaxen, and another shot himself be- cause his clothes did not fit him.: A girl threw herself into the Danube because her companions laughed at her corpu- lence, and a Frenchman took poison to spite his mother-in-law because she in- sisted upon living with him.

They Came Into Tieing With the First French Resolution. The restaurant is of comparatively modern origin. The first French revolu- tion, at the close of the eighteenth cen- tury, witnessed its birth, Prior to that time the best cooks were in the employ of the nobility, whose ruin threatened them with equal disaster. A happy in- spiration, however, led them to open places of public entertainment, which leaped at once into -immense popular favor, inasmuch as previously, while the French people were endowed with the instincts of delicate cookery, they were unable to gratify their tastes through the absence of resorts availa- ble for the purpose. The proprietors of many of these es- tablishments quickly acquired a wide- spread fame and large wealth. Coin- cident with the birth of the restaurant in France, an immense impulse was given to they publication of popular treatises on 'the art of cookery com- posed by the most famous cooks. These were rapidly disseminated among tie people, sv.ho, gifted with a natural gen- ius for gastronomy. promptly availed of the new sources of knowledge to perfect themselves in an art of which they have become the foremost expo- nents of the world.
