"Dick Rathvon, shake! Ton are a
Joy forever."
When Miss Lillian Ayres alighted
from the train the next afternoon she
waa met by a tall, imposing looking
young man, who, seeing the signal vio
lets, approacbed her and without the
llghteat hesitation saluted her with a
cousinly kiss. ,
"Why, how you have grown! she
exclaimed. "You're the only big one of
the family."
"And how yom nave Improved!" re
plied the young man. "I never would
bare supposed you wcmld bloom into
such a rare flower."
Several days passed, during which
the young man gave me undivided at
tention to the girt, cutting lectures,
chapel and any other college duty that
stood ia the way of bis doing so. Bnt
one morn tog when his friend had been
up all night cramming nnder the stim

'Sspeared at his room and said: ,
'"Alee, we're in a hole."
"For heaven's sake, what is ft?"
"Her father's coming to take bet

"Great Seottt What are we going to
do?"
"Leave It to me."

leaving Miss Ayres said:
"I have a confession to make."

"Since you have been here I should
have been preparing for several Im

"I've ao enjoyed going about" with

"But your examinations?"
"If I am plucked it will be in a good

"Heaven grant that you may not be."
"Goodby. Before I have got through
with the struggle you will be gone."
There waa a cousinly kiss, the twen
tieth in four days, and he was gone.
About 8 o'clock the next afternoon
Alec Ayres entered hia room after
having passed the Inst of his term ex
aminations. He found Dick Rathvon
filling a pipe from a skull tobacco
holder. Alec threw himself Into a
chair.

"The only through train went at 3."
"There's a day of reckoning coming
for this."
"In the dim future. Don't borrow
trouble. Take a pipe "
There was a knock on the door.
Alec drew back the latch with a lazy
string, and in walked his uacle and
his cousin.
"Poor Alecl" exclaimed Lillian,"
going over to Dick and laying her
hand affectionately on his shoulder.
"Don't scold him, papa; he's been so
nice to me." .
"Hello, Alec, my boy!" said the un
cle, grasping Alec's hand.
-"Why,.papa,". . interposed Lillian, j
"whaf are you doing? Ion't you know
your own nephew? This is Alec."
No hole opened to let the two boys
down into the cellar, where they
would fain hare hidden themselves.
So each drew down under his coat
collar and waited for the bolt to strike
him. Mr. Ayres waa not a stupid
mnn. Indeed, be saw in a moment
that some prank had been played.
"If that gentleman la Alec," b said,
"I have been grossly Imposed upon."
Lillian flushed red and white by
turns.
"It's all up, Dick," aald Alec. "We
may as well confess. Uncle, Lillian, I

of the food of the poorer classes of In

fibrous, mealy husk, which tastes al
most exactly like gingerbread, whence
the popular nemo of gingerbread tree

" THE OLD SAIL DRILL
Perils the Modern Warship Men Da

One of the dangers and on of the

aupplantlng of the frigate by the steam
cruiser, t ha old time sail drill became-
a thing of the past Fleets in the old
days were continually exercised in

British nary in Lis "Lluks In My lira."
I As the greatest rivalry existed among
the crews as to wtilch ship should

I were frequent Hardly a drill day

One during a drill In del harbor,
where the rivalry in the fleet waa in-
creaaed by the eagerness of foreign
ships to compete with the English, aa
unfortunate French midshipman went
head first from the mlzzen cross tree
of the French flagship to the deck.
That numbers of accidenta should
take place fn sail drill waa not aston
ishing when one remembers that spar
measuring perhaps seventy or eighty
feet long and weighing two or tore
tons were whisked about with be
wildering speed with nothing but
men's hands and brains to guide
them; hundreds of men crammed into
a space of a few hundred square feet,
where nothing but the most marvelous
organization and discipline could avert

If One Must Skip a Meal, It Is Better
to Go Without Luncheon.
There are a surprising number of peo-
who do not break their fast each day
until luncheon time. To this alwtenu-
oitsness they attribute wonderful health.
To hear the devotees of the no-breakfast
fad talk one could rival Methuselah if
one could but refrain from eating in
the morning. I o eat or not to eat is,
or should be, a personal matter; but the
iionbreakfatiters do not see it that way.
I My are not content unless all the world
goes breaklastless, too. iney rub in
their theories to boredom. A man or
woman erhould no more go without break
fujit save by the advic of a physician
than its or sne aaould atop eatiug alto
getiier.
Undoubtedly there are many with
whom the practice agrees, but there are
more who could not stand it at all. To
dvise the workingman to go hungry
until he eould open his tin pail at boon
would be to lay up for him seeds of
ill health. His active life demands nonr-
shment before starting to work. In the
same way a girl who must sit in an office
all day makes a mistake in starting
torta without a substantial breakfast:
to est none at all means a headche and
half-sick morning for -most wonwn.

Humboldt relers to a gigantic boabab
tree in Central Africa as the oldest or
ganic monument in the world. This
tree had a trunk twenty-nine feet in
diameter, and Adanson, by a series of
careful measurements. demonstrated
conclusively that it had lived for not
less than 51S0 years and it lives to
day. But even Humboldt was wrong
in his premise. It has recently been
proved that there is a tre in the Xew
World which, of a verity, has lived to
'a green old aga," for it antedates the
scriptural flood about two thousand
years. .
This ia a cypress tree standing in the
rrovince of Cbepultcpec, Altttieo, with
a. trunk 118 feet 10 inehea m circum

conclusively as these things can be
shown,) about 6260 yenrs of age. Nor
is this remarkable) when one stop to
think that, given favorable conditions
for its growth and sustenance, the aver
age tree will never die of old age. Its
death is merely an acccident.. Other
younger and more) vigorous trees may
spring up naar it, and rob its roots of
their proper nourishment; insects may
kill it; floods or winds may sweep ft
away, or the woodmans axe mav fell
it. If ne such accident happen to it
a tree may fioumh and stow for cen-
any inherited tendency to discatto ia then
likely to develop. Whatever it may be,

Tarts of certain great parks in Eng
land, such as Erldge park, the oldest
deer park in the kingdom, are kept
practically wild in their original forest
state, while near to the castle la the
cultivated home park. Erldge park
contains 8,000 acres and Is the only
estate In England, with one exception,
where deer taking with hounds is still
carried on. Eridge park once formed
part of the royal chase. It still retains
the wild beauty it then bad, although
there are more than seventy miles of
lovely drives In it, not counting those
of the home park.
Deer taking is entirely different from
deer hunting. .The object is to take
the animals alive so that they may be
transferred to the home park to be fat

themselves over the park, the park
keeper, with the "field" (those follow

it is the work of the keeper to get him
separated from the rest and then to
slip his hound and set after him as
hnrd as we can gallop. The pace, of
course, is tremendous, and as rabbit
holes abound the risk of a fall is even
betting or, rather, a trifle of odds on
the certainty of our 'taking a toss.
