'.Then you think you havo everything
.you will need, may need?"
"Every tiling? Oh, Mr. Barclay I"
The girl's eyes wore misty with tears.
"What makes you so thoughtful of toe?
At school there was no other girl who
liad audi beautiful and,dainty things.
And it was not money, for many of
Hiern were wealthy. They said I had
euch exquisito taste, and lt -wes not I
.nt nil, but you who procured them and
who InflUeuced mo into the way of
-wanting euch things, and it used to be
the same before I went to school and
bas been so since I graduated and
carne lionie. You aro always influenc
ing me toward what ia most beautiful
Ju life and then bestowing lt on me, so
lavishly."
Mr, Barclay's hand moved uneasily
among the papers.
"I. promised your father"- he began,
when she interrupted him with an im
perious motion of lier hand.
"Yes, yep, I know, but most guard
ians woul? havo been satisfied with
.keeping a general oversight and paying
-the bills. You have been my most in
timate friend from the Hmo my father
died, when Twas only'twelve, Why,"
laughing, anid her voice quavering a lit
tle, "I have told you my secrets and
love affairs as few of the girls I know
-tell their own mothers. It has seemed
perfectly natural. You were Interested
In them, or appeared to be, and never
requested me to keep away-from the
"boys. Indeed* I think you always fa
vored my going with them, only you
were careful ' tn inquire about their
tabita.".
She was in a remiuI .;cent mood, and.
though her eyes' were still moist end
?tender? her lips were boll parted in
..?amused recollection,
"What a lot of boys I must have told
jrou about; Mr. Barclay," she went on,
?"all. those of my early school days,
nhen tho ones I met nt college and pow
'the young men who have been calling
.en me during my six months here. You
"know about the ones I like best and
those I just tolerate." .
"I am afraid you. Ur? a cad flirt, Eli
nor," he onid.
."Yes,T am afraid I am," she agreed
readily, her face becoming clouded.
."But what can I do? Tho boys seem
nice, and I lik? them, hut some way
when I come to know them better they
?ll fall a little short, and I have tb let
-them go. I have felt awfully sorry for
?some of .them, but there was no other
tway. Two or three who ore coming
liera now are really talented and will
make Successful men, I oin sure, but I
have a -premonition what my verdict
will be.-i They almost reach my ideal,"
-the lurking mischief again returning to
lier ?yes, Vbut not quite.*' : . , . .
..Perhaps your ideal ls too nigh." !
"Perhaps," demurely, "but you fixed
lt for me, and, you. have made lt so
much of my being that I cannot stoop I
-to a lower one now." ^
"Well, I am glad. The Ideal will
.come along; some day, and then tLsrs
?mn p9 mistake/ - Are - your frants
all packed?"
"Yes. ; I con, get ready in a few mb>>
?tes, and then) ls over an hour. That

He winced ever BO slightly. She had
always celled him ?lo.until the past

She . was older, of course, and was.
growing Away from him. " And sh?
would be absent for two whole years.

dreary with the thought, "I ?was walt

"So Into? Well, "I trill go and get
ready."
At the door she paused, looking back.
"You must excuse my talk about your
liberality, Mr. Barclay," oho said wi-*,
fully. "But-but I could not go away
Without saying something."
Halfway up the stairs sho paused
again. She had forgotten the letters of
introduction, and it would be more con
venient to put them In her bag before
starting.
When she re-entered the library Mr.
Barclay's face v/us1 burled in bis arms
upon the desk. Ho was tired, she
thought, and perhaps grieving a little
ai her golngtaway.
It was not until she reached the desk
and was about to pick up the letters
that he noticed her presence und raised
his head with a quick, surprised mo
tion. His eyes were frank, uaguarded,
his Ups trembling.
She gazed at him a moment; then her
womanly instinct in a flash compre
hended.
"Oh, Mr. 'Barclny-Kobcrt- do you"
But ho had controlled himself by a
great effort.
"Forget thl3, Elinor, forever," he in
terrupted horshiy. "I was weak for a
moment. I thought ? was aluue, ami
you misunderstood."
But ber face was radiant.
"i b?fre been misunderstanding you
tjr months, Kobcrt." ehe said softly,
"but not now. It was all in your eyes.
Have you never thought why I was un
nble to find my Ideal? I didn't know
my own heart thou, but I always com
pared the boys and the young men with
you,,and they fell shorty. I know now
that I have loved you for years, since I
first went to college, but I have not
fully realized lt until within the past
few months, and, Robert, I have been
so-so unhappy at your-thoughtfulness
of me."
"It was the only thing I could do,"
he groaned. "I was afraid of myself,
and-and I nm so old, Elinor."
"Only fifteen, years older than I am,"
ehe eald happily. "I shall unpack my
trunks." , ?
Once more he tried to command him
self, to summon the mask to his face,
but he was too weak. He held out bia
arms. .

- Some years ago in Alabama one of
tho most talented lawyers practicing
In the south was the late Colonel Bragg,
but he had a peppery temper. .
- Not only did Colonel Bragg's disposi
tion involve him from time to time In
serious differences with hld colleagues,
but if diso led bim to break off amica
ble relations with a Judge Robinson, a
most estimable jurist, who while pre
siding over a suit in which Bragg was
interested "had by his decision Incurred
the resentment-of the advocate. So
for a long time tho colonel declined
even to speak to the judge save when
lt was absolutely necessary In the
cours? of business;
Finally, however) his better nature
getting the Upper hand, Colonel Bragg
determined to apologize to Judge Rob
inson and endeavor to effect a renewal
of their.former ^comparatively pleasant
relations.. Meeting the judge one aft
ernoon on the steps of the statehouse,
he impulsively thrust out his hand and
said:
.VSee here, judge; let's be friends
again. . This thing has gone on long
enough:" .
"Why-er-Bragg," asked tho judge
In the meekest and mildest way imag
inable, "whafs the matter?"

THE BAGPIPE.
lt ls the Only Musical Inetrumont Dis*
tinctly National. I
The bagpipe of Scotland is the
only instrument of which'it may be
said that it is distinctly national.
The violin, the flute, tho horn and
other instruments arc common to
many nations, but thc bagpipe is pe
culiar to Scotland, and, although it
does not now occupy thc position it
once did, it is found in no other
country.- . -
in tho days when the notorious
Hob Hoy committed bis depreda
tions, when thc Vicli Ian Vohrs lived j
securely in thqir highland fast- !
ness and kept up their dignified GO- !
cial position-in tho stirring times
of which Sir Walter Scott bas told ?
us-tho bagpipe player was one of
the important personages in the
chieftain's retinue, anti these may be
considered as the palmy days of thu '
instrument. j
Within tho region more strictly j
known as the highlands ita shri? ?
note Avas the first sound that fell cn
the ears of infancy. It charmed thc
rude Caledonians in times .of jv;;
and comforted them in scenes o?
mourning. It animated their bc- j
roes in battle and welcomed them
back from their conflicts, and wbor- j
ever their chiefs went it accompa
nied them, even to the grave. '
The effect of this wild instrument
on the highland soldiers is marvel
ous.. Above the rattle of musketry
and tho turmoil and roar of tho bat
tlefield the inspiring notes of tho
pibroch have spoken encouragement
to the highlanders and led them
bravely forward. At the battle of
Quebec, when tho troops were re
treating in disorder and the conflict
had a most discouraging aspect, tho
general complaint was about the de
moralization in Frazer's corps.
"Sir," said an officer, '^you did
very wrong in forbidding the pipers 1
to ploy. Nothing inspirits the high
landers so much. Even "now they
would he of some use."
"Let them blow, then," said the
general.
So the pipers started a weil known
air, and the highlanders rallied and
bravely returned to the charge.
Some say that the bagpipe came
down from the Homans; others, that
it came'through the northern na
tions of Scotiand. At any rate, it
seems to have always been one of tho
musical instruments of the Celtic
race.
The pipe mentioned, in ancient
history wei simpJy what is known as
the shepherd's reed. After a time a
bag was added and nubsequently the
drones or burdens. There are four
forms ol the modern bagpipe-tho ?
great highland bagpipe, whioh is
blown by the player, the drones be
ing placed over the shoulder; the
lowland bagpipe, which is provided
with a bellows . for supplying the
wind; the Northumberland bagpipe,
which is smaller and. sweeter in tone
than the former two, and the Irish,
bagpipe, which is a much more com
plicated instrument.-St. James* Ga

THE CITY OF JAUPA.
An Oid Fashioned Place, Curious C /cn
In Mexico.
Jalapa means n "pluo of water
and sands." It was an Indian town
at the time of tho conquest, and be
cause of its position on what for a
long while was thu main road be
tween Yera Cruz and the Cily of
Mexico it early became a place of
importance.. After thc establish
ment of tho republic it was mado |
tho capital of tho state of Vera
Cruz. Between tho years 1720 and
1777 a great animal fair was hold
here for thc sale of goods brought
for years by tho fleet from Cadiz,
whence it derived the name of Ja
lapa do la Ferio, frequent ly applied
to the city in documents of tho
eighteenth century.
The city is famous throughout
Mexico for tho exceeding beauty of
its women and of its situation. From
these, its pleading characteristics,
arise the paying that Jalapa is a
part of heaven let down to earth,
and the proverb, "Las Jalapcnns son
halagucnns" (bewitching, alluring
ure ihe women of Jalapa). A less
pleasing characteristic, its frequent
dava of mist and rain, at once the
cause of and a very serious draw
back upon the enjoyment of its
groL'ii loveliness, has given rise to
yet another saying in Jalapa. During
the: o melancholy days the Jalapeno,
, mul?iod in his serape and smoking,
dismally mutters, "Ave Maria puri
? sima, pue venga el sol!" (Holy Vir
gin, lot the sun shine !)
The city is a curious, old fashion
ed place-curious even in Mexico,
where everything seems odd to the
i tourist - with narrow, ' crooked
streets, lined with tile roofed
? houses, whoso pitched roofs project
their eaves so far that they seem to
j cover the sidewalks like a shed, and
pending from th?so are spouts to
carry the rainfall from tho roof to
the center of tho roadway. Tho city
! has a perfect drainage system, based
upon and indeed consisting almost
entirely of tho facilities BO lavishly
j bestowed by nature in the shape of
rain and grade. Tho streets slope
gently from the sidewalk on either
1 side to tho center of tho roadway,
j thus practically forming high
I troughs or gutters, and all dirt or
refuse matter is immediately washed
beyond the city limits by the raine,
I which fall, at least for a short time,
j almost daily throughout the entire
! year. This accounts for tho 8crupu?
iously clean appearaT.-e of tho city,
which impresses those who havo vis
: ited other Mexican cities not so ad
I vantageouflly located in respect to
I drainage os Jalapa. So abrupt is
the descent of tho streets down the
side of tho hill that no attempt is
made to use carts or carriages for
-transportation of goods dr persons,
j A tramway which provides a means
of transportation to Coatepoo runs
I (through a portion of tho main thor
oughfare and is the only wheeled ve
I hiele to be found within tlw city lim
j its, and even this requires six mules
' to haul it up the steep grades from
I the railroad station to ino hotels.
All merchandise is carried from ono
part of tho city to another by carga
dores and pack mules, which latter
are utilized extensively and almost
to the exclusion of the burro and the
horse. ;
. ? walk through the streets pf the
city is repaid by many interesting
! eights, ' The lavanderas,, or washer
! women, pursue their vocation in the
publie streets at large basins or
troughs, which haye been placed in
all parts of the city for their accom
modation. The churches are open
.all through the day, and at all.hours

and took it back and finished his
job. The next day after the bread
had boen delivered nearly all of it
was neut back. The baker looked at
it and broke several loaves open, but
found nothing wrong. Then he hap
