Let me see, come over to-morrow to dinner." Vail chuckled softly as he rode away. "I wonder if the judge thought he could string me that way I have a very firm conviction that Bill is Kate, and, remembering my boyish horror of male attire, the judge headed her off. I suppose he thought he had deceived me with his evasive statement about her trip abroad, and invited me to morrow, when he will take pains to have Bill, alias Kate, absent. I know of no reason why we should not meet in friendly fashion. I know I admire her a thousand times more than I ever did for coming out here and wearing any kind of clothes for working pur poses. I'll just go over to-night, whether I am welcome or not, and stay to supper. Fancy the Sybarite Kate cooking!" Late in the afternoon be rode up to the shack, and as he expected, "B131," clad in feminine attire, was in the doorway. She was a different girl from the handsome, languorous, cynically expressioned Kate he had known. There were the same regular features, the high-bred figure, air and pose, but the eyes were full of life and the mouth curved in almost gentle lines. Her pale face was tinted with ruddy gold. He wondered what his reception would be, remembering the angry part ing. "I am very glad to see you, Mr. Vail," she said, courteously, with ex tended hand, as he came up to her. He instantly took the cue, addressed her as Miss Rand and avoided all allu sion and reference to the past. He was glad it was to be this way. He wanted to begin acquaintance anew with this womanly Kate. "You must stay to supper-that's what they call the meal out here., I shall prepare it myself to-night." "Don't you generally prepare it?" he couldn't help asking. "No," she said casually. "Bill, the help, cooks, but he is away." Vail decided to accept the little fic tion .regarding Bill, and when the judge came home and was informed by his daughter that Bill had been called away for two weeks, which was just the length of time Vail was to be in the vicinity, he never changed ex pression. "Ruth," said the judge in reply. "Ruth!" interrupted Vail in sur prise. She smiled. "Father calls me by my middle name since we came out here. It was my mother's name and he thinks I am growing to be like her." After supper, when the judge and Vail had smoked and visited, a neigh bor came to talk "planting" to the judge. Barry proposed to Ruth (as he now liked to think of her) that they ride down the course of the canal, and she readily accepted. He remembered how well she used to ride and how well her boyish slimness looked in the sad die. But never in city parks could they have had this glorious canter over the wind-swept way on the open plains. They came back in the glory of a west ern moonlight. When near the shack Barry drew rein. "Shall we," he asked earnesty, "be gin all over again?" "Yes," she replied in a low tone, "that was what I wanted to ask you to do." For the next two weeks every mo ment he could snatch from his work Barry spent at the shack. Feeling that he was depriving the judge of "Bill's" help ne put mn some effective work on the ranch, in his rides, walks and talks with "Kate Ruth" he felt a sense of intimacy he had never known when with the Kate of olden days. "Darling," he said impetuously one night after a long silence, "can you forget the past and my boyish superi ority? Can you learn to love me again -Kate?" "Don't," she cried breathlessly. "I am not Kate!" He looked at her in bewilderment. "I am Kate's younger sister. I was away at school when you knew her, but I used to love to hear about you from father. I didn't know at the first that you mistook me for her. After ward-well, I was afraid you would not care for me, but you can't have her! She's engaged!" "Dear," he said, gently, "I don't want Kate. I want you, whether you are Kate, Ruth or Bill." "Bill?" she interrupted faintly. "I knew," he laughed. "Bill's sun bonnet gave him away." Fought with Garibaldi. An echo of the great Garibaldi cam paign in Scotland is furnished in the case of Mr. Alexander A. Walker of Edinburgh, who has been notified by the Italian ambassador in London that, by order of his majesty the king of Italy, the minister of war has granted him the right to wear the medal for the war of independence and unity, in acknowledgment of the services rendered by him in the cause of Italy in the ranks of the British legion during the campaign of 1860. Walker was working as a tailor in Glasgow when Garibaldi came to the front, and he became enthusiastic and volunteered like many othrs in Scot land at the time.

"At a dinner at Claridge's, the smartest hotel in London," said, with no little pride a Chicagoan, "I sat be side young RIhinelander Stewart, Anita Stewart's brother, you know. Anita Stewart married Don Miguel of liragaaza. "I joked Rhinelander a bit on the kilt that he wore at his sister's Scot tish wedding. He took my joking in good part. lie said the kilt was a fine. conventional dress, and till recently he had thought it suitable everywhere andi for all purposes. "Recently, though, he suggested that the house servants in Tulloch castle should wear as livery the Stewart kilt; L but the major domo objected. "'Now,' said Mr. Stewart, 'what is your objection?' "'Aweel, sir,' the major domo an swered, 'a man canna clean upstairs windows in a kilt, noo, can he?"'-Ex change. Not Actually Necessary. The lawyer proceeded to examine the witness.

Robert Davidson, Gateshead on Tyne. Meaning of Cemetery. It is not correct to say that Yceme tery" means the "city of the dead." The word is from the Greek "Koime terion," meaning sleeping place, not the place of the dead. There is nothing in the thinking that it was originally intended to convey the idea that, the departed were really dead any more than there is in the old Hebrew term for cemetery-"Bethaim"-the house of the living.
