a volume of new short stories by Bret

the charm that Is characteristic of all
this author's work. As a sample of the
stories, take that of "A Treasure of the
l\-*il woods."
One day a prospector, who was not
specially well trained, wandered in the
woods in a dilatory search and came
upon a cabin. He wanted a prospecting
pu.n, so he borrowed one rrom the daugh

A few days later a note and a box came
to the camp for him, brought by "Mam
my." the negro housekeeper at Katlnka
Jalllnger's home. The note told an elab

the owner's bread pan, had had flakes
of gold in it, after all, concealed beneath
the loose patch in the bottom. Katinka's
note also explained that "dad" was away.

. a short but romantic life is being
■written, and that any day may witness
its close.
Many months have passed since this
gifta<2 young lady returned to her fath
er's home from the gayetiea of life in
Paiis and the great cliles of her own
country, with her health ruined and her
nervous system totally unstrung. Her
coming was an event in Albemarle coun
ty, and from far and near the friends of
the family gathered to see her. Kut she
would receive no one. She shut herself
In her own room, and refused to ho.d
communication even with the members
of her own family. To this day she has
kept up her self-imposed solitude, and
not. until the shadows of night have fall
en and all the household is wrapped in

draped all in white, like a returned spir

on earth, she wanders back and forth
through the wide hulls and up and down
the winding staircase of the old-fashioned
mansion until the ulm light in the cast
heralds the beginning of another day.
PREPARING ANOTHER BOOK.
How lier time Is spent within the con
fines of her own room no one knows ex
cept the trusty colored woman who car
ries all her meals and attends to her
wants. It is known, however, that she
writes at intervals, and this has given

There was a moment of silence. The
drone of a bumble-bee near by seemed
to make the silence swim, drowsily In
their oars; far off they heard the faint
; beat of a woodpecker. The suggestion of
their kneeling figures In this magic mir
ror was vague, unreasoning', yet for the
moment none the less Irresistible. His
arm Instinctively crept around her little
waist as he whispered—he scarce knew
what he said—"Perhaps here Is the treas

The girl laughed, released herself, and
sprang up; the pan sank inglorioualy to
the bottom of the pool, where Fleming
had to grope for it, assisted by Tlnka,
who rolled up her sleeve to her elbow.
For a minute or two they washed grave

result in the bottom of the pan was the
same. Fleming laugtied.
"You see," he said, gayly, "the Mam

at least, so near your father's taber

"That makes no difference now." said
the girl, quickly, "for dad is goin' to move,
anyway, farther up the mountains. Hv

tite, rounded, graceful figure, soft blue
eyes and crown of golden hair, made her
the belle of the country. But even at
that early age, the eccentricities, now so
marked, began to display themselves.
She went in for literary work, and pro
duced a number of short pieces of no
especial merit, until her sensational and
somewhat risque book, "The Quick or
the Dead," was written.
"THE QUICK OR THE DEAD."
Her father, Col. Albert L. Rives, a dis
tinguished engineer, was in France at the
time, being connected with the Panama ca
nal work, and the young au-thoress sub
mitted her manuscript to one of her rela
tives, a learned professor in the Univer
sity of Virginia. He strongly advised her
not to publish it without her father's per
mission. She refused to accept his advice.
The book proved an instant success, al
though it provoked a storm of criticism,
and the young woman's name was en
rolled among the rising authors of the
day. She was overwhelmed with re
quests for stories from magazine and
other publishers, and In a few years fol
lowing the appearance of her book wrot«
for the Atlantic Monthly, Harper's and
Lippineott's, among her more celebrated
efforts being "Herod and Marianne,"'
"Virginia of Virginia," "The Witness of
the Sun," "The Farrier L.ass o' Piping
Pepworth," "Alhewold." "According to
St. John" and others. None, however, at
tracted the attention accorded her first
work.
HER FIRST MARRIAGE.
The beautiful home of the captivating
young authoress was the mecca of scores
of young men of the state, and her offers
of marriage were many. In the first
bloom of youth she married John Arm
strong Chanler. a man considerably her
senior, of grave, dignified demeanor, and
her opposite in aJmost every respect.
Their married life was an unhappy one.

"X reckon yd might do it ef ye wanted—

Tlnka, looking away. There was some
thing In tho girl's tone which this bud
ding lover reaented. He had become sen
sitive.
"Oh, well," he said, "I see that It might
make unpleasantness with your father, I
only thought," he went on, with tenderer
tentatlveness, "that it would be pleasant
to work hero near you."
"Ted be only wastln' yer time," she
said, darkly.
Fleming ros« gravely. "Perhaps you're
right," he answered, sadly, and a little
bitterly, "and I'll got at once."
He walked to the spring and gathered
up his tools. "Thank you again for your
kindness, and good-by."
He held out his hand, which she took
passively, and he moved away.
But he had not gone far before she call
ed him. He turned to find her still stand
ing where he had left her, her little hands
clinched at her side and her widely opened
eyes staring at him. Suddenly she ran
at him, and, catching the lapels of his
ooat In both hands, held him rigidly fast.
"No! no! ye shan't go—ye mustn't go!"
she said, with hysterical Intensity. "I
want to tell ye something! Listen!—you—
you—Mr. Fleming! I've been a wicked,
wicked girl! I've tod lies to dad—to mam
my—to you! I've borne false witness —
I'm wors« than Sapphira—l've acted a big
lie. Oh. Mr. Fleming. I've made you come
back here for nothing! Ye didn't find no
gold the other day. There wasn't any.
It was all me! I—l salted that pan!"
"Salted It!" echoed Fleming, In amaze
ment.
"Yea, 'salted It,' " she faltered; "that's
what dad says they call it—what those
wicked sons of Mammon do to their claims
to sell them. I—put gold in the pan my
self; it wasn't there before."
"But why?" gasped Fleming-.
She stoped. Then suddenly the foun
tains hi the deep of her blue eyes were
broken up; she burst into a sob and burled
her head In her hands and her hands on
his shoulder. "Because —because"—she
sobbed against him—"l wanted you to
come back!"
He folded her in his hands. He kissed
her lovingly, forgivingly, gratefully, tear
fully, smilingly—and paused; then he ki.-H
--her sympathetically, understandings,
apologetically, explanatorily, In lieu of
other conversation. Then, becoming co
herent, he asked:
"But where did you get the gold?"
"Oh." she said, between fitful and de
spairing s :bs, "somewhere!—l don't know
—out of the old Run—long ago—when I
was little! I didn't never dare say any
thing to dad—he'd have been crazy mad
at his own daughter diggin'— and I never
cared nor thought a single bit about it
until I saw you."
"And you have never been there s'.nce?'*
"Never."*
"Nor anybody else?" ■»
"No."
Suddenly she threw back her head; her
ship hat fell back from her face, rosy
with a dawning inspiration! "Oh, sty.
Jack!—you don't think that—afLer all this
time—there might—" She did not finish
the sentence, but, grasping his hand,
cried, "Come!"
She caught up the pan, he seized the
shovel and pick, and they raced like boy
and girl down the hill. When wiihin a
few hundred feet of the house she turned
at right angles into the clearing and say
ing "Don't be skeered; dad' 3 away," ran
boldly on, still holding his hand, al njf
the little valley. At its fartrer ex renlty
they came to the "Run," a half-dtied
watercourse whose rocky sides were

Roses are largely in evidence In mil
linerlal decorations. Abroad the fancy
is running riot for the wearing of abso
lutely monstrous, but nevertheless very
beautiful roses that certainly would never
have grown on any bush that had not
the strength of the oak to suppart their
splendid porportlons.
One rose of the accepted correct size
is sufficient, with the addition of a little
foliage and a band of ribbons, to trim
an entire hat. The newest roses, in fact,
are about eight or ten Inches in diameter,
while the Immense number of their petals
and the general luxuriance of their out
line make one hesitate to hazard a
guess as to their probable circumfer
ence.

The new flowered muslins are charming
for young girls, the effect in the coloring
and pattern closely resembling hand
painting. These are made up with quaint
lace trimmed fichus and worn with a
drooping trimmed lace-like straw hat
faced with folds of colored chiffon. The
skirts are variously trimmed with lace
insertion and made up over fine lawn
and chiffon underskirts, one over the
other, trimmed with narrow ruffles and
ruches of ribbon.

Selecting a spot where the white quartz
was visible, Fleming attacked the bank
with the pick. After one or two blow 3it
began to yield and crumble away at his
feet. He washed out a panful perfunc
torily, more intent on tha girl than his
work; she, eager, alert and breathle s,
had changed places with him and become
the anxious prospector!. But the result
was the same. He threw away the pan
with a laugh, to take her little hand! But
she whispered, "Try again."
He attacked the bank once more with
such energy that a great part of it caved
and fell, filling the pan and even burying
the shovel in the debris. He unearthed
the latter while Tinka was struggling to
get out the pan.
"The mean thing is stuck and won't
move," she said, pettishly. "I think it's
broken now, too, just like ours."
Fleming came laughingly forward, and,
putting one arm around the girl's waist,
attempted tb assist her with the other.
The pan was immovable, and, indeed,
seemed to be broken* and bent. Suddenly
h e uttered an exclamation and ■ began
hurriedly to brush away the dirt and
throw the soil out of the pan.
In another moment he had revealed a
fragment of decomposed quartz, like dis
colored honeycombed cheese, half filling
the pan. But on its side, where the
pick had struck it glancingly, there was
a yellow streak like a ray of sunshine!
And as he strove to lift it he felt in that
unmistakable omnlpoteny of weight that
it was seamed and celled with gold.

The news of Mr. Flemings engagement.
two weeks later, to the daughter of the
recluse religious hunter who had made
a big strike at Lone Run, excited some
skeptical discussion, even among the hon
est congratulations of his partners.
"That's a mighty queer story how Jack
got that girl sweet on him just by bor
rowin' a prospectin' pan of her," said
Faulkner, between the whiffs of his pipe
under the trees. '"You and me might have
borrowed a hundred prospectin' pans and
never got even a drink thrown in. Then to

home of Christopher TCenyon, manufac
turer of shoes, in the village of Kenyon.
The Kenyons have been*- at the head of
the factories for. generations, and the
name has always been a synonym for
honor and trustworthiness, albett there
have been some hard and close men
among them. Christopher has taken his
place at the helm at his father's death,
and now after slx> y»ars we find him with

ideas.

Belt buckles vary in size from two to
four inches, and the oval seems to be
the favorite shape. Enameled buckles
are the latest cry of fashion, and their
exquisite coloring and brilliant polish
make them most desirable additions to a
modish toilet. They are usually of fili
gree, and the designs show tiny blrd3,
horses, deer and other fancies from the
animal kingdom, or one may have flowers
so perfect in form and tint that they al
most seem to grow. At the back of the
belt a snake may be worn, whose enamel
scales and emerald eyes might startle
one into believing It real; or lizards, toads
and turtles may cling apparently to the
waist.

Fichus, which depend for their grace
upon the manner of draping, are the
he:ght* of the mode and are especially
adapted to youthful figures, giving that
broadening touch at the shoulders which
is so essentially becoming. These fichus
may be in Marie Antoinette style, or a
la Montespan, or a la Pompadour, or.
In fact, so arranged as the individual
fancy thinks best. The newest are ex
quisitely hand embroidered on the finest
lawn or cambric, faintly butter-colored,
and some are shaped in a rounded piece
without any frills, ready for placing on'
the shoulders and knotting in front. As
a natural accompaniment short elbow
sleeves appear on the newest foulards
and muslins, with full elbow ruffles. These
are far more likely to be worn by good
dressers than the much-talked-of and
written-about sleeve of the fifties, which
is rather quaint than pretty, though
there Is a charm about it for tea gowns
and wrappers.

entirely cured for me by taking "Orange
ine' as directed."
Ip Star, who are visiting him at this time
influence him to commence an experiment
that has been in hi 3 own mind and heart
in embryo for many years. Christopher,
while a practical business man. is also a
poet and dreamer. The old professor is,
of course, a theorist, and his daughter
Agnes, while holding some of her father's
views, has lived nearer to the people of
the world than he, and knows more of
their ills and sufferings. The young rec
tor, Starr, Is a man of the highest ideals,
and in his contact with the people of a
factory town has had a chance to become
familiar with their conditions and the
shortcomings thereof.
The influence of these three persons on
Christopher at this time colors his future
life and actions. He knows that his
factory people are little better off than
slaves under the methods in vogue, and
while his factory is a model of good con
ditions and management he hopes to raise
them to a higher social and educational
plane. Feeling that at the present time
they are not equal to co-operative meth
ods he places his factories on a profit
sharing basis, with short hours and full
recognition of organized labor. During the
inaugeration of his experiment he sees
much of Agnes. Her strong personality
and ideas are his greatest inspiration. A3
is natural he lovea and marries her.
Ten years pass by, and Christopher's
experiment seems to be a success. His
people are happy, and their village is a
model one. They still have good hours
and good pay, but Christopher himself
has been paying the price of it. Ht»
load has beer* a heavy one. Many dis
turbing elements have entered into con
ditions of late years. Leather trusts
have formed and several years of busi
ness depression, in addition to the keen
competition of rival factories, operated
on the old lines of starvation and grind,
and always the demand for a cheaper
product, have caused Christopher to place
his own and his wife's fortune in the
business, hoping for better times. Aa a
last resort he makes use of funds placed
in his hands as a trust for minor or
phans. A strike In one of the rival fac
tories, precipitated by an effort to union
ize the help, is the last straw and leaves
nothing but ruin ahead.
The outcome is as interesting as the
events leading up to it.
In so short an article much of Interest
must be omitted, but no one will regret
reading this book. It especially com

Brown & Co.. Boston.
The author of this work was formerly
envoy extraordinary and mlnlßter pleni
potentiary to these republics, and in his
official capacity had exceptional oppor
tunities for studying these countries and
their people. He describes their climatic
conditions; and many of the places which
have baen considered unhealthy by those
who are ignorant of the facts, he finds
the reverse. His experience of twenty
five years has led him to know exactly
those localities which are to be avoided
by strangers. The magnificent mountain
scenery of the Magdalena valley and the
gorgeous tropical scenery and luxuriant
vegetable life are described at length.
The great difficulties of transportation
are dwelt upon; and he points out the
need of better conditions, which would
lead to the development of the magnifi
cent resources of the countries. The vol
ume contains chapters on the agricul
tural products of Venezuela, on the
Gnayana boundary question, the Isthmus
of Panama and Panama canal projects,
the rights and duties of foreign residents
In Smith America, the Monroe doctrine,
the Venezuelan arbitration award of 1899,
etc. The book should be invaluable to a

Child Tmd&m.
With a show of pride a mother, who
could aftord to buy any amount of ele- ]
gance and luxury for her children, dis
played a dozen garments each for her
five-year-old son and her three-year-old
daughter that were to form the staple
of their summer wardrobe. They were
alike in cut and form, differing only in
material and color. A loose, comfortable,
inviting sort of garment it was, such a»
a child could run, jump, kick or climb
in to his heart's content. Attired in It
there would be no need of the tiresome
Injunction, "Don't tear or soil your
clothes."
Practically, It is nothing but a sack
like garment with sleeves that reach to
the elbows and trouser less that come
just below the knees. No over or under
clothes are intended to be worn with it
on hot days. There is nothing to bind
nor in any way to fret the mind or body.
Linen, denim, gingham or any sort of
strong, cool material may bis used, and
if desired the severity of style may bo
modified by a white pique collar and
bands of the same in the sleeves. By
all means there should be a pockft; one

it will afford endless comfort and pleas

the reach of the poor and the rich, and
another is that it is as desirable fur little
girls as for their brothers.
"For the beach or for the country it is
the finest thing ever invented," says an
enthusiastic mother, who tried it last
year for her four children, and la going
to repeat the experiment thia season, ''i
don't know what I shall do when my
children get too large to wear them. I
was afraid my seven-year-old daughter
would have to give up her overalls, as
she calls them, this summer, but she
begged to have another season of fun in
them, so I am going to turn her loose in
them again.'"
This is only one of the departures that
have been made In the last few years in
favor of children's comfort in preference
to mere appearance. More plain, sensi
ble clothes go into the trunks that are
packed for vacation days, and less ttim
med and be-rufiled finery that U toofcood

"The Last of the Flatboats." a »toiy of
the Mississippi river, by Oeorff* Cary
Eggleston. Lothrop Publishing com
pany, Boston.
This is the story of the adventures of
five young "Hoosiern" who take about
the last of the Western river f.atboats
down the Mississippi to New Orleans.
They start from the town of Vevay, on
the Ohio, and have plenty of adventure.
But the book is more than a story of ad
venture; It is a perfect storehouse of
facts, not only about the Mississippi and
"its interesting family of rivers," but of
the possibilities, productions, and incen
tives which America yields and of which
active, earnest, and ambitious American
boy* may profitably avail themselves.
Mr. Eggleston evidently writes from
close and careful knowledge. He has not
only dealt picturesquely with our won
derful Western river system, but he has
covered a field, geographically, which no
boy's story has yet attempted. The live
boya take the "Last of the Flatboats."

Tn this changeable climate woolen gar

midsummer, to supplement the thin and

to climatic changes than their elders, and^
should be protected most sedulously

abruptly, and the single cotton garment
