Still he knew lie could act lie felt it in his soul, and he would prove it to the whole world some day. lie was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and It made little- difference if the tfovcrnor liad casi him off when he left college to fjo on the staff, for he knew his lml$ would come back to him in time. He was always thinking of her. He saw her fresh oval face in the blue-gray riiiffs of his cigarette smoke; the smell of roses was like the perfume of her breath; her eyes looked at him from the pansies on every corner tlower atatid. I'erhaps this was because she was one of the band of wood nymphs who came out in pink ami white to strew flower-, for the feet of the prim i donna to crush. She should have been a prima donna herself; he ha 1 hetrd her sing, and h knew. Wait till his fortune came back to him. They were lioth stopping at the same wretched actors boaniinir-house, on a side street that ran from Uroadway to the Itowery, and at dinner she sat op posite him at the long table n round which gathered nightly a rare collec tion of chorus girls, ballet dancers, fcong and dance artists, variety per formers, and broken-down and hard-tip people of the "legit." lie knew that curly shock of yellow hair was not its natural color, ami her cveiids were peneilftl. but she had teeth li!:e ivory and her laugh thrilled him away dow n into his sin ks. It was only when the professional ventriloquist, desiring the butter, made the chandelier Mptcuk, "Shove the grease, Coots," that he be came aware he was staring at her and not eating a mouthful. He hated the ventriloquist; for that manipulator of vocalization was the one w tio had given him the nickname of "Coots," and now everybody in the house called him that even she called htm that. I'.iit she w as divine! The "Johnnies" gathered thickly alNiut the stage door every night to see the chorus yiiis come out; hut he knew she hated the insipid fops, for he had heard her say so. and she never paid any attention to them. She usually got oil nrst, and lelt the ttteater as soon as possible, and he had not yet commanded sufficient courage to tell her he would take her safely to the hoarding house if she would wait, lint one night she was delayed, and he was close behind her when she left the theater. There was the usual throng outside the stage door, and one of them spoke to her. He had lieen drinking, and he placed himself in her path, offering his arm and proposing to call a cab. She A!ffl COOTS WAS AWAY WITH tried to pass him. but he caught at her arm. The next instant be lav Mat on his back, and Coots was walking awav with her. "Oh. I thank yon. Coots!" she said, with a catchy little laugh that was like the gurgle of a brook to him. "That cad has liotliered ine for a wi-ck. Per haps he'll keep away now he has got sw;ped." He did not mind the slang; he ex pected it. He had found every In tdy talked slang at the boarding house, and it sounded rather sweet and "ch from her Hps when he would have thought it coarse from some other woman. "I'm almost ashamed to think 1 struck him so hard," he said; "but iny blood Itoilcd a-hen I saw him put his ha ml on your arm. Miss Thorn." "Oh! call me Daisy, Coots; that's good enough for my stjle." "Your style! You're too mo lest. You are fit to star. You will someday, tio. " "Well, I hope you're right All I want is to get hold of an angel. I'll work the duck for all he is worth! Twelve d dlars a week is rocky, but I have to do it or get off the earth." "Wait till my luck comes b:'k to ine!" cried Coots. "I'll back you then. I'll have a piece written for you." You dear boy! she laughed. They did not take a car. She said phe bad as lief walk, as it would save the fare; and Coots wa-t sun he had much rather walk as long as she was at his side. "Tell me. Coots how did you ever happen to get down to this? she asked. Then he told her all about it, and she called him a foolish fellow, but he did not aaree with her. "Mother scuds me money every now and then, without the governor know ing it," he said. "I'll get alonir all right until 1 find an opening and do something to give me a foothold. Coots never forgot that walk down liroadway and the warm pressure given feia Suffers by her plump little band WANTS TO IP WALKING IIKIL when they reached the boardinjf-hous. That night she was in all bis dreams. Sidney Temple belonged to thr "legit," but he was in hard luck; the "Itowery Flower" com pan T, in which he had played the heavy villain, having stranded in Oshkosh, where they were deserted by their manager and left to get back to Acw Vork as best they could. Tarn pie had come in on his up pers, and he was staying at the second rate actors boarding house until he struck another engagement. How he obtained money to pay his board was something of a mystery, but it was no ticed that he bad become very frienJly with Coots, the two beioir together a great deal. Daisy was the first to sus pect the truth, and, one day, she ac cused Temple. 'You are playing Coots for a sucker. Temple!'1 she declared, her brown eyes flashing. I know he has money from his mother, and yon are bcatiug him out of it at cards! You are encourag ing him to drink, too." Temple langlied. "Well, what of it. Little Spit Art-? He'll blow himself some way and I've got to live till I get on the road again " "it's a shame!" cried Daisy, warmly. "You area scoundrel and he is nothing but a boy!" 'lt seems to me you take a remark able interest in the kid I believe yoj're stuck on his bang.' "I don't care what you believe. I'm not going to see him beaten out of his inottct." "How will you help it?" "I know a way. There's a man on Twenty-third street who would give something to know where to find yon, snd he says he is willing to pay 3011 Yof AUK PI.

"I pass!" said Temple, ruefully, 'You hold high cards and the pot is yours." One day Coots came to Daisy with m strange look of mingled grief and joy on his face. "It's a w f u 1 !" he said, ch k i n gly. "Father's dead. Terribly sudden IIeart failure." He saw the sympathy in her even. and he went on, Ik fore she could Spea'il "He was rich, you know, ami his will leaves one-half of everything to me, providing I give up the idea of going on the stage," "of course you will do that," she said. "Yon d ! crazy if you didn't!" "Yes. 1 shall give it up I don't know as 1 was cut out for an actor, after all. I told you my I nek would come back to me. and I would not forget you then. There is nothing in the will to prevent me from marrying an actress ami back ing her. if I want to do it If you'll marry me. Daisy, I'll put you out in a new piece ami at the head of a first-class company." "Y'u dear, good boy!" she cried, with a laurh that was half a sob. "I signed contracts for next season yes terday, and 1 am to marry Sidney Temple next Saturday! We are goiu out together in the same company." Coot- luck had truly come hack to him! IV-ft'OHti-ite.

Insert At.r It Lmvn th, Apple. If an insect enemy is to be destroyed, study its life history. H will usually be found to have certain habits which make it comparatively easy of destruc tion. This is true of the codling moth (apple worm). Anyone at all familiar with its habits is aware that after tho first brood of worms leave the apple, nature compels them to seek a hiding place on the trunk of the tree, where they will be removed from the mois ture of the earth, and here they change from the worm to the moth. At the time the worm is seeking this hilling place it is easily led into a trap, if the trap furnishes the hiding place for which it is so anxiously looking, and common sense teaches the fruitgrower that this is the time to destroy it, as it remains in this trap two weeks unable to move. A trap of this kind Ls shown in the il lustration. The worm crawls under f zm I-. - 1 Hni O'M.INO MoT II TRAP. the projecting edge and here the grow er can get at it. The early brood of moths appears on the wing during the fore part of June, a little-earlier or later, according to the season. At the time it appears the young apples are already st and are about the size of a hazel nut. The female deposits a sin gle egg in the eye of the apple, flying from one to another until her stock of eggs, amounting to probably three hun dred, is exhausted, when she falls to the ground and dies. In a Unit a week the egg hatches out, and the young worm begins at once to bore in to the apple, feeding as it gms, but making its headquarters near the core, says the farmers Advocate. In about three or four weeks the worm is full grown, and shortly lie fore this the infested apple generally falls to the ground, and the w orm makes its escape out of the fruit through a large hole in the side, which it has ltored a few days before for this purpose, and makes at once for the trunk of a tree, up which U climbs and spins around itself a silken cocoon of a dirty white color in any convenient crevice it can find, the crotch of the tree being a favorite spot Here it transforms itself into a pupa, and towartl the latter part of July or the fore part of August, bursts forth a perfect moth. This insect is pretty cer tain !y known to develop tw broods each season. This method of trapping is one means to prevent the develop ment of the second brood, but of course it cannot save the apple crop as the w orms from the first brood do not leave the apples until a:ter they have mined them. Spraying with Paris green as Nn as the petals have fallen and w hen the apple is aUuit the size of a pea is the most effective means of Killing the tiny worms Wfore they bae done any damage. 1'se one pound of the toison to 'JOtj or gallons of water.

The agricultural department has issued a circular to be sent to all rail road presidents of the United States offering suggestions for cooperation in the movement for improving wagon roads. It is suggested that whenever a general road improvement is under taken the railroads carry materials at cosL The method of computing the cost should be defined and a board constituted for adjusting the rates to be granted, in accordance with local conditions. Such a concession would, be of great value to the public, and its bare announcement would do more to advance the road movement than years of purely educational work. 1 i ITEMS OF INTEREST. Ixdiasb belieTe that mirages are caused by evil spirits. Mast years ago, in Scotland, capital punishment was by drowning. Knives and forks were not in gen eral use nntil the seventeenth century. To overcome the resistance of the atmosphere, wild ducks and geese usually fly in triangles. A Liverpool clergyman preaches such drowsy sermons that lately his feet go to sleep while he is In the pul pit. A srEciES of ape, closely resembling the African gorilla, has been discov ered on the Mosquito coast, Nica ragua. Raii.ro aps in Holland are so care fully managed that the accidental deaths on them average only one a year for the entire country.

New letter racks hare been produced made of graded circles in raised work mounted on an inclined standard and supported like a photograph frame. A bodice decoration is a rose gar land of diamonds that passes around the waist and is fastened with a ro sette of diamonds, the center of which is a huge aquamarine with diamond pendants. Harness is the very word that de scribes some of the decorations for ImnHccs. me such is made of fine dead gold chains strung together brace fash ion with cross pieces. All the points of intersection are fastened by huge pearls. Worth, the modiste, has introduced a new ornament in jewelry, which bids fair to W a favorite. It is a diamond triangle, with a flower or monogram in the center, and may le worn as a buckle, a brooch, or a decoration for the hair. Convenient and pretty receptacles have been brought ottt for holding the matutinal orange. They are on a low standard, tip titled, polished, with a raised and broken edge, and have a rack at the back for supporting the pointed spoon. Colored stones were never more used.
