whlsUlng. cheerily, a heaped basket of
Jewel red apples poised carefully upon
.'ber bare brown head. Miss Prudence
.Heathcote, her aunt and guardian,
frowned at the whistling, bul bad to
??mlle u blt when Margaret broke out:
; ?'Now, Prudence, pteclous^come nt me
. with tho saying about whistling girls
l^nd crowing bens! I know you hate
my solo musical accomplishment, but
this day- is enough to set a graven
Huango whistling, even dancing, if it
'ivas of anything softer than granite.
You ov?ht to be out in iL The orchard
3s a place enchanted. I didn't know
?until now tilings eof prosaic as apple
catherin;; and elder making could set
themselves to music." .
"H-m!" Miss Prudence said. "H-m!
.Moy I ask if Jimmy Blair is out there,
AS be promised to be?"
''Of course! A gentleman keeps his
promises, doesn't he?" Margaret an
swered, tossing her head, but flushing
In spite of herself.
Again Miss Prudence Bald "IJ-m!"
There appeared,to- bo nothing else to
-say. But after two b: oaths she got up
And moved toward the kitchen, sigh
ing out: "And of course he'll be hero
to dinner. That means cooking things.
Men do have suci atrocious appetites,"
"I'm glad they do," Margaret retbrt
?d shamelessly, "i've got ODO to match
Anybody. Oh, Aunty Prue, do nm ko a
potato pudding1 ft'nke lt very rich
And have lots cf 'Jilck, sweet, real
lemon sauce."
VGo 'woy, you baggage!" Miss'Pru
rience said over; her shoulder. "Who
told you w/iat Jimmy likes best? I've
-the greatest min.! to make dried apple
pies, just to see If he would know the'
?difference," smiling at Margaret as she
?poke the last sentence.
Margaret blushed very red and be
ljan to pout, "iou mean Jimmy is so
3?one on me he's not in his right mind,"
she said. "But you're ail wrong, Aunty
.Prue. I-I don't believe ho-he cares
tor me a bit-hardly. Not that way, at
least All this week he's been as kind
AS could be, but distant-as if he was
Afraid I wouldn't understand." -
"Then there's mischief afoot, what
?ort Tv? got to find out," Miss Pru-'
-dence Bald vigorously, her hand on the
?door knob, "for if ever any lad was
.clean out of his head, clean idiotic
About a chit of a thing, lt wai? Jimmy
About you, all last week and all the
weeks before ,1t, since you came to
Ataywith me."
"Mischief afoot, but '"here?" she
Icept mentally repeating to herself na
?he whisked about the trim kitchen,
tier brows puckered, her eyes intro
?pee tl vc. Oh the surface abe could see
mottling. Nobody had openly any right
?or reason to be Interfering between the
jpalr. Jimmy was an orphan the same
AS her Peggy. Moreover, he had never
Had the least shadow of an- entangle*,
anent. True, various and sundi/ young
women had been setting their caps at
Slim-pretty caps, modestly sot-but he
{had overlooked them all-> unless lt
were-Mias Prue gave j a great- start.
'There waa tho root of the trouble; its

younger sisters crowding her in - the

What she could to hold Jimmy, the best'
-chance In all Easton town.
; But how "she had "donia It Miss Pru
dence could not fathom, although abe
studied the problem almost to the detr
ailment of her dinner. She sat down to
li still puzzled. Jimmy greeted ; her
and the dinner rapturously and tabbed
a great deal of his appetite and of
?many other things, but somehow did
not eat with his usual zest, although
..de made a fair meal; Nobody witt a
.palate could help doing that with such
1?\ZZZZ ,?'/???ss ' I'^??w? ?iw?;\;ra?ore;,

, than one? that if such cooking ran in
?he family her.future husband was tho
aucklost fellow alive.
"I think so- too. Thftt'o why ifs BO

Margaret said at last ^

when I hoard ber talking, but after I
caught a word or two sneaked away,
like a whip ??d hound."
"No doubt," Miss Prudence said
angrily, "hut tell me this-where did
you sneak to? Went straight home, I
reckon, and after supper over to the
Bano808. That right?" Jimmy nodrtod.
"Now tell me straight what Miss Del
la told you and how 6ho came to do lt."
"I won't'." Jimmy said stoutly. "I'm
no telltale. I'd seen enough, and Della
saw lt had made mo mighty miserable.
All she did was to set me right-let me
know Margaret was"
'Tlaylng, play acting with her?"
Miss Prudence broke lu. "Did she tell
you- that-tell you bow the girls have
been practicing against the church
sociable? Della was dressed up in
man's clothes and my Peggy plny?ug
swretbeart to her. I know, i was
there, up on tho big dead trunk, hold
ing the piny book and luughlng flt to
kill. Now, don't you wish you had
sneaked the other way?"
"You-you don't mean, there Isn't any
other fellow?" Jimmy cried Incredu
lously.
Miss Prudence sniffed. "Of course I
don't mean any such thing. There are
twenty other fellows-bound to bo
with a girl like Margaret-but I don't
believe she likes- any of them best un
less It ls the very chucklehead I'm talk
ing to right now."
"Miss Prudence!" Jimmy ejaculated,
then caught her tight In his arms. He
was shaking like a leaf, as near to
laughing as to crying.
Thus Margaret came upon them and
called out roguishly: . 'Ts lt to be real
ly Uncle Jimmy? Weil, I don't mind
so long as we have you in the family."
"It's to be anything In the world you
say," Jimmy said, darting to her. Then
as bo caught both her hands and laid
them against his breast he turned a
beaming face upon Miss Prudence,
saying: "Peggy ls sweet enough, pret
ty enough, for anything, but wheu lt
comes to looking like nn angel to a
man in trouble, why, she'll never bo in
lt with our Aunty Prue."

"In a village which ls a suburb of
New Bedford," said Mark Twain, "a
friend of mine took me to the dedica
tion of a town ball and poluted out to
me a bronzed, weather beaten old man
over ninety years old. 'Do you see any
passion hi that old man?' said he to me.
.You don't? Well, but I can make bim
fa perfect volcano to you. I'll Just men
tion to. bim something very casually.*
And he did. Well, that old man sud
denly gave vent to an outburst such as
I had never heard In my life before. I
listened to him with that delight with
which one listens to an artist The
cause of it was this: When that old
man was a young Bailor be came back
from a three year cruise and found the
whole town bad taken the pledge. He
hadn't,. soho was ostracised. Finally
he made up hla mind he, couldn't stand
ostracism any longer, -and he went to
the secretary and said, .'Put my name
down for that temperance society of
yours.' Next day he left on another
three, year cruise. It was torture to
him to watch his men drinking and he
pledged not to. Finally he got home.
He got a jug of liquor, ran to the socie
ty and said. Take my name right off.'
'it isn't necessary,' said the secretary.

You cannot regard any lotter you

right to open auy letter or parcel pass

l?io Interests of tu? ?uw. At one tinto
the official and secret opening of "pri

currence that postofllce employees were
sent to Franco to take lessons from an
expert in tho art of openlug and re
sealing letters. In 1812 the postmas
ters ot Mauehester, Nottingham and
Glasgow were instructed to "open all
sucn letters as should appear to be of
a suspicious nature und likely to con
vey seditious Information," and so re
cently ns fifty years ago there was an
ngltntlon io deprive the government
of tlie right to open letters passing
through the post Tho agltatlou failed,
however, so that /our letters are still
liable to bo opened, and tho law would

Snake Hunting "With Rosen.
When the Australian abor^ino is
pushed and can find no otter game, he
catches snakes for food. With his won
derful browu eyes bo can seo the faint
est trail where a snake has zigzagged
through thc- dry moss and leaves. At
nighttime his broad nostrils take up
the chase, and, stooping down among
the bushes, with a tough forked stick
in his hand to support bim, he follows
the trick as unerringly as n blood
bonne.. When be runs a snake to earth,
If he cannot surprise it in tho open and
kill it by a sudden blow of bis. stick,
be squats over its hole, making a low
hissing or whistling sound with bis
lips. Soon the snake puts Its head out
of the hole and peers round. In nn in
stant the forked stick descends and
fixes lt to the ground by the neck, and
the black fellow, seizing it behind the
head, .so that it cannot bite him, drer
lt out of the hole and either twists Iw
head off or pounds it on the ground
till its back is broken.

??Axila Hobin Gray."
A ballad that won Instant fame
against the expectation aud even the
wish of its author was "Auld Hobin
Gray," written by Lady Anno Lindsay
alMMit the end of tho eighteenth century
merely for her own satisfaction to re
placo the coarse verses of au old melo
dy that pleased her. 8ho sang charm
ingly, and tho new ballad soon carno
Into favor. Great was tho curiosity
aroused as to the author of this pa
thetic song, In whoso simple verses all
the elements of a heartrending tragedy
a*ro contained, but Lady Anne, modest
aud retiring by nature, preserved si
lence for many years, smiling, no
doubt, at tho controversy that raged so
hotly. In tho course of lt her ballad
was attributed by Burne disputants to
David Rlzzlo, declared by others to bo
a genuine sixteenth century production
and finally made tho subject of a
twenty guinea prize to bo bestowed on
anybody acute enough to bring to light
the veritable author.-CornhlU Maga

"A long, low strip of loud, a valley

crops are always bought up two or
three years lu advance of their plant
ing. They yield only 35,000 cigars an
nually. These cigars sometimes sell as
high us $150 a hundred-$1.50 apiece.
Vuelta Abajo cigars aro only smoked
by kings and billionaires. There aro

Economic methods of eating are so
Important and so axiomatic. that lt
really occasions some surprise that
more la not known about the matter.
Horace Fletcher, In his famous ABZ
books on nutrition, very wisely Insists
upon the necessity of slow mastication
with abundant lnsalivatlon. It is real
ly astonishing how badly people use
the. teeth nature gave them for thia
purpose. Children naturally bolt their
food, so lt ts said, and adults retain the
habit Not having the digestive power
or cats or dogs, which naturally bolt
their food, it results that much of our
food Is undigested and wasted.

When one la wholly at a loss for tolosa
