She planned to be a decorator. Indeed, being an orphan with nothing to live on, it was neces sary for her 6ither to support herself or marry some man to support her. That Margaret was naturally of an independent disposition is evident from the fact that she rented a cottage, in which she proposed to live alone and have her office. One day a young man appeared on the premises and seemed to be looking them over Margaret went out and" aSked him if he was thinking of buy ing the property. The man looked at her admiringly, for she was a pretty girl, and replied that he was consid ering whether it could not be fixed up and used for residential purposes. He said that he was an architect "And I am a decorator," said the glrL "Indeed! In that case we might work together." "Do you represent the .owner?" she asked. "Yes. I'll confer with him, anil if he will employ me to repair and make additions to the house and give you the decorating job we may make some thing out of it" He went away, leaving Margaret to think of the matter. She paid a nom inal rent and if she could make a few hundred dollars by decorating the( house it would pay her to find another home. But she was thinking more of the young man than the Job. He had a very pleasant way with him, and his smile was quite engaging. The next day he came back and said that he had made an arrangement with the owner for fixing up the property. He was to spend $3,000 on it and receive $500 for his services. He would pay Mar garet half his fee if she would design and superintend the decorations. Mar garet was very well pleased to make a fee of $250 arid assented to the prop osition. The young man had brought with him drawings of the alterations to be made, and ,the two sat down together to consider the decorations. Margaret occupied a wing of the house which was to be turned Into a kitchen and servants' rooms, but this was to be done last and she need not be disturb ed till the rest was finished, and then she could move to another part of the house till the property was occupied by permanent tenants. The architect said that probably the owner would occupy it himself. In a few days a permit to make alter ations was tacked up on the front porch then a load of building mate rials was dumped in the front yard: then masons and carpenters came ana went to work. Margaret meanwhile having the plans before her, arranged for the decorations. The architect came every day to see that his orders were being carried out and never failed to consult Margaret as to how this would serve or that would servo, and she never failed to ask his opinion as to what color would best go in this room or that room, and the contractor, who was there a good deal himself, won dered how the two could spend so much time over one job while he was building a dozen houses, providing everything himself and bossing each job. They would go into the living room, which was not disturbed, place the plans on a table and sit over them sometimes a couple of hours at a time. "If that architect," said the contrac tor. "spends as much time with the decorator of every building he designs as with this little Job I'm afraid he'll not get througli many jobs." When the contractor had finished all but the servants' quarters Margaret moved out of her little bare room into sumptuous quarters. She asked the architect when the owner would come to inspect the work and was informed that he had been there a number of times already. Margaret wondered at this, for she had not seen him. But she was informed that he was well pleased, especially with the decora tions, and this satisfied her. The work was finished at last, and architect and decorator one afternoon Went through the house and grounds together. "It's all so pretty," said Margaret "that I feel like crying at leaving it" "You don't need to leave it," was the reply. "What do you mean?" "I am the owner of this place. I came here one day to look it over with a view to fixing it up to sell It. I saw you, and it occurred to me to fix it up for myself—that Is, If I could get you to share it with me. What do you say?" This proposition was not unexpected, but the rest of it was a surprise in deed. Margaret caught her breath, the architect caught her in his arms, the architect of her own fortune was hap py in being, as he expressed It, the for tune of the architect One day after they had been mar ried some time and the wife wanted some pin money flbe put her arms lov ingly around her husband's neck and, looking unutterable things at him, said: "Dear, you never paid me for decor atlnfoor home." "Well. I'll be jlngedl" replied tbe husband. And he straightway drew a cbgck Cor the aswvyt.

Two of the clock, and a cold and chilly night. The wind whistled drearily round the corners, of the streets, and the sky overhead waa clouded and threatening. A policeman, coming ..stealthily along, saw a suspicious looking man loafing about a certain house. For some time he watched and then determined to solve the mystery. "Here, you,"he said advancing sud denly, "whatcher hanging about this house for?"

Cervantes died a' poor man despite the great and immediate success %f "Don Quixote," which he published in 1605, when he was fifty-eight years old. He led a wandering life. As a soldier he saw active service at Nava sino and Tunis. In 1575 he set out for Spain, but was captured by B&rbary pirates and held for ransom for five years. When freed he tried to earn a living with his pen, but was unsuc cessful, and in 1587 he was engaged in gathering stores for the armada.

Sprinkle the floor with tacks. Etiquette. The very high sounding word eti quette had a very humble origin, for etiquette meant simply a label. It de rived its present meaning from thu fact that a Scotch gardener who had laid out the grounds at Versailles for Louis XIV. was much guiioyed .'it the courtiers walking ov*r his newly made paths and at length had labels placed to indicate where they might walk. At first these labels were ignored, but a hint from high quarters that in future the walks of the courtiers must be within the "etiquettes" or labels was promptly attended to. To keep within the "etiquettes" came to mean to do the correct thing. Guatemala's Marimba. Ssteal he marimba, Guatemala's national instrument, is a huge affair on the xylophone principle, played by striking its vari-slzed keys with pad ded drumsticks. Guatemalan Indians, who have quite as much power and en durance as the average truck horse, carry these from town to town on their backs. 8udden Decease.
