A PARABLE.
When God first made a little bird,
For sheer delight,
Ke gifted It with power of song
L5ut not of flight. ^
Then by its side He gently laid
Those untried things
That we In human parlance call
A pair of wings;
And said5 "My little one, this load
Uplift and see,
Beneath this stra?ige disguise, my love's
Sweet thought for thee."
The feathered darling serious grow;
A sudden sob
Choked ail the music in Its throat.
And seemed to rob
The air of sunshine: yet it gave
A patient nod,
And said: "I'll bear it for your sake,
Dear Father God;"
Then on reluctant shoulders, firm
The burden laid;
And lo! the merry winds of heaven
About It played,
Until In very ecstasy
It spurned the ground;
Ajid. borne upon its lifted load.
Glad freedom found.
O mortal, shrinking from thy cross,
Behold tho birds!
And learn the dearest meaning yet
Of those sweet words.

\ HIS AMERICAN BEAUTY \
By JOHN S. ROGERS. i
-CopvrigM.lSm. '.'
DENTOJJ tirst met her at the Mar
low's reception. He had just come
n from the frosty night and wasstaud
;ng between the portieres, idly sur?
veying the throng that filled the rooms.
"No, there are several 'here I've never
met," he was saying to Miss Marlow;
'for instance, Ljie tall young lady with
dark hair and brown eyes, over there
by the cabinet."
"Oh, Mildred Arnold?she Is pretty.
Isn't she?" replied Miss Marlow, with
a touch of condescension in her voice.
Then she led him across the room and
presented him.
That night as Denton walked home,
he thought to himself that lie had never
met anyone quite like Mildred Arnold.
There was a distinct personality in the
pose of her head, the wave of her hand,
the bend of her arm; and a certain sub?
tle suggestion of herself in things about
her person. Her fan, for instance?he
would have known it among a hun?
dred, though ho had never seen it be?
fore, and the rose that breathed on
her bosom seemed to take life from
hers. Iler voice was clear, full-toned
and low, and her dark eyes reminded
him of deep pools reflecting all the
shade of the moving heavens.
Ten days later Denton called.
"I brought you this," said 'he, unfold
ingJin American Beauty rose, "because
I have an Idea that it is your favorite
[ flower."
"How very queer. It is my favorite,
if, indeed, I have any, for I am dearly
fond of all flowers." Then she took the
rose and, thanking him, laid it against
her face. "Two of a kind," thought
Denton. After that he used to think of
her as his "American Beauty." "
Tiicy became very good friends after
a time?this man of society and the
gentle-mannered, book-loving home?
body. Perhaps it was her literary taste
that attracted Denton, for he himself
was an author and at that period was
writing Iiis "Thirst of Tantalus," which
afterward threw society into a flutter
of excitement. Perhaps the spiritual
faculties of the man found fellowship
in the all-pervading presence of tho
young woman's deep nature.
When spring came Denton called
the first bright day to take her walk?
ing in the country. They boarded an
electric car and alighted at the further
end of a pretty little suburban village.
Before them stretched a smooth,
white road shaded by great, sturdy
trees. On either side of the highway
the wild lilacs were blooming and the
air was filled with the subtle breath of
spring.
After a time they came to a bubbling
stream winding through a rocky gorge.
"1 used to come down here to fish and
?dreain, when 1 was a boy," said Den?
ton, taking the path by the side of the
stream. They walked on some distance
until they came to a ledge of rock at
tho base of a towering bowlder, trellised
with budding vines.
"What a beautiful spot!" said Mil?
dred.
"This was one of my favorite
haunts," said Denton. "Many an aft?
ernoon I've dreamed away while more
practical people were working and
achieving something;" and then, quick?
ly?"but you do not like practical peo?
ple, do you?" he added.
"That depends," Mildred answered,
looking brightly into his questioning
face. "There are practical people and
earthly practical people. These latter
I cannot endure."
Denton's face lighted up with a pe?
culiar interesL
"Whom do you call 'earthly prac?
tical?' " he asked.
"Money lovers," Mildred replied, "or
those who seem to have but one object
in life?money making. And for this
they subvert all their higher faculties,
misuse their talent and die before their
time."
"Then the man who paints a picture
or writes a book, and in doing so caters
to the public taste for the sake of
monetary gain, is 'earthly practical?' "
asked Denton, gathering up a handful
of pebbles.
"Indeed, yes."
He threw a pebble into the water and
sat silent for a moment and then?
"And such a man would have no place
in j our esteem?" he ventured in a care?
less tone, as if asking an idle question.
"No," said Mildred, pensively, "I
think not."
There was a long pause. The rippling
of the water at their feet and the song
??>{ a bluebird from a tree near by filled
up the interval of silence,
iitmou it ruse. - Aiver an, *x suppose
you are right," he said with a troubled
countenance; "when I come to think
of it, I must agree with you."
"Why, of course you do," Mildred an?
swered, arising and looking around her.
That night Denton revised part of his
manuscript by discarding some ten or
fifteen pages and filling up the gap with
newly written matter,
j It was several weeks later that he
dined with the noted publisher, Link?
ing.
"The great secret of success in mod?
era novel writing," 6aid Lin ting, as the
wine was circling, "can be summed up
in one word?'risque.' " Denton went
home, searched through his waste bas?
ket, found the discarded pages and
again embodied them in his manu?
script, i
"What will be, will be," he mut?
tered.
As soon as the weather grew warm,
Denton posted off to the m'ountains.and
society looked knowing when it was
learned that Miss Marlow was also
there. At the clubs in town, the gossip
was that Denton and Miss Marlow were
constantly together?now scaling some
mountain peak, now taking long walks
over the picturesque roads, or sitting
uyun iut veraqaa in tne moonlight,
evenings. Be this as It may, Denton
must have worked during the summer,
for when he returned his book-was fin?
ished and in the hands of the publisher.
He was not long In calling upon Mil?
dred. Mrs. Arnold, whom he met com?
ing out of the house, told him to walk
back to the dining room pantry. lie
stole quietly forward and stood In the
doorway. Mildred was there, wearing
the daintiest little apron in the world.
Her head was turned from him, but he
could see the roses on her cheek, and
her hair shone like ebony beneath the
light She was cutting chocolate.
"Just 'n time for the caramels,"
I laughed Denton.
She turned quickly, and the knife fell
from her hand.
"You!" she exclaimed, her face radi?
ant and her eyes seintilating brightly.
He held her hand a trifle longer than
was necessary.
"What a stately little cook you are,
to be sure," he said, sun-eying her from
h*id to foot. She withdrew her hand
and stepping back a pace, began to ask
him a score of little feminine questions
?how he came, how he knew she was
there, why she didn't hear him coining
and tlie like. Then she assigned him to
the task of chopping up the remainder
of the chocolate, while she busied her?
self among the pots and pans.
Soon the candy was bubbling thickly
upon the stove. Denton sat down. A
spirit of silence came over him as he
dreamily fixed his eyes upon Mildred..
"Did you spend a pleasant summer?"
she asked, dropping a lump of butter
into the candy.
"Lovely," replied Denton, and Miss
Marlow rose before him.
"Danced every night, I suppose?" she
queried, slowly stirring the candy.
"Yes, indeed?every night," he re?
plied, at random.
"And lots and lots of pretty' girls?"
brightly.
"Lots of them."
She rested the spoon upon the edge
of the pan and glanced quickly at Den?
ton.
"What's come over you?" she asked.
"I don't believe you've heard a word
I've said."
Denton ceased drumming on the edge
of his cluiir and raised his head.
"I was wond'ering if there was any
one on earth quite like you," he replied,
In a low voice.
The girl's dark lashes fell heavily
upon her damask cheeks. She turned
aside and resumed the stirring.
"Why?" she asked, archly.
Denton was silent for a moment and
then quite slowly:
"Because you're different from all
that I've ever met; for that very rea?
son I've something to tell you nnd?
Look, the candy!" he suddenly cried.
So intent hnd Mildred been upon Den
ton's conversation that she had allowed |
the candy to boil over. More than that,
it was scorched and a wretched failure.
So also was the remainder of the cven
iug for Denton. The interruption had
jarred upon him.
He went home soon after without
speaking the words that were on his
lips.
Several weeks later his book ap?
peared. At first it made ho great stir,
but when the Criterion published a
severe criticism of the work, classing it
with certain French novels and styling
it "a living picture," in an incredibly
short time it ran into its tenth edition.
Dim ton was taken up and borne aloft
upon the shoulders of society, so to
speak. lie was wined and dined and
lionized from morning to night, until
I Ii fie began to be a burden.
Hurrying along the street in the di?
rection of his club one nfternoon, he
saw Mildred Arnold about to enter her
carriage.
As she took her seat her eyes fell upon
Denton, and she motioned the coach?
man to wait.
"I thought I recognized you when I
came from the house," she said, giving
him her hand.
"And I, too, recognized you half way
up the square," said Denton.
"Which way do you go?" she nsked,
seeing one of the horses grow restless.
"Down," said Denton, and the word
echoed .strangely in his heart,
"Ah, I'm sorry you're not going In
my direction," and then, very softly:
"Have 3-ou been quire well?"
"Very well, thank you." He rested
his hand upon the carriage window and
came a little closer, but It seemed to
him that a great distance lay between
them. .
"I've been wanting to see you," he
said, with a slight show of embarrass?
ment; "there was something I started
to tell you the last time I called, but
the candy boiled over," he explained,
smiling frankly. "This Is hardly the
place to tell you," he went on, riveting
bis eyes upon the silk tassel that huncr
from the carriage curtain, "but I'm go?
ing away in a day or two for several
months, and though I will see you upo?.
my return, I want you to know among
the first. It Is this?when I come back
I'm going to be married."
She was leaning slightly forward, her
lips were pressed together and her face
was pale, but otherwise she was pas?
sionless.
"Then I'm sure I wish you a very,
very happy life," she replied, quite
gently. Denton bowed and drew back
from the carriage. She smiled down
upon him as she held out her hand. The
color had come back to her cheeks in a
great scarlet flood and he thought he
had never seen her look more queenly.
"Good-by?good-by," she repeated,
and the next moment Denton stood
alone.
It was a January evening. A sugges?
tion of closed doors, closely drawn cur?
tains, and a glowing hearth, permeated
the cold, invigorating air. Denton but?
toned up his top coat and throwing
back his shoulders started at a brisk
pace down the street. Be had returned
to the city the day before and was now
on his way to see Mildred Arnold. He
stopped on his way at a florist's estab?
lishment and selected a magnificent
American Beauty.
Somehow the house seemed strange
as he gained the steps. He rang the
bell and stood wondering how she
would receive him. What a deep light
had always glowed in her brown eyes,
heretofore, whenever she came to meet
him. Would it be the same now? or
was he lost in her estimation?one of
the "earthly practical?" A trim maid,
whom he had never seen before opened
the door,
"Is Miss Arnold at homo?" he asked,
removing his silk hat,
The servant looked puzzled for a mo?
ment. "Oh, they've moved," she finally
said. "That is," she went on, uncon?
cernedly, "Mrs. Arnold went south, so
the girl next door says, right after the
young lady died."
Denton started back and the rose foil
from his hand. A thousand images of
Mildred flashed before him, and the
sound of her low voice rang in his ears.
"Here is your rose, sir," said the serv?
ant, He took the flower. In a dazed
manner he turned and went down the
steps. It had begun to snow, and the
ground was white. Slowly he wandered
along the street, his head strangely
bent?his breath coming in great gasps.

turned thinking- some one was about to
wake him from a dream. The dim light
from a lamp fell upon the pinched and
plaintive face of a little girl, clud in tat?
ters and shivering with cold.
"Please, sir, my mother is very ill
and has nothing to eat?I?th-think
she will die."
Dentbn put his hand in his pocket
and gave the waif a roll of bills. As ho
turned away he recollected the rose he
carried. "Stop!" he culled to the child.
Then he went to her and placed the
flower in her arms.
"Tell your mother, child, to take this,
if she dies, to her," he said, pointing up?
wards.
AN UNCANNY STORY.
From a Mnrdcronn Club Hurled In
the Victim's Grave Surano;
n Great Tree.
One of the noticeable things to those
who enter the Angelica cemetery
grounds is an old marble headstone on
which is the following inscription:
"Ira Stephens, who died September 20,
3ot)3, aged 43 year's."
Exactly in the center of the grave is
a huge elm tree 81) feet high and three
feet through the trunk, as line a speci?
men of its kind us can be found. The
roots spread all over the grave and
nearly tip the marble slab, green and
moldy with age, over on its luce. Tho
peculiar position of the tree, right In
the center of a grave, causes strangers
to wonder how it came there.
Those in charge of the last Allegany
county history, before olYcring it to the
publishers, decided to trace if possible
from old residents the cause of the tree
being in so peculiar n place. They
found out and published in their his?
tory the following information: "The
first death in Angelica was Ira Ste?
phens, who, on the authority of Mr.
Gibson, a resident of Angelica, was
killed in a quarrel over cards at Joseph
Wilson's inn (present sight of Light
foot block), and he was the first one
buried in Angelica cemetery. He was
killed by some one unknown with a
huge elm club, which was burled with
him. Directly over tho grave has
grown a large elm tree, which super?
stitious and credulous people say grew
from the club with which he wt^s
killed."
The reporter talked with an old gen?
tleman 02 years of age, who has been
a resident of this place for ovet GO years,
and asked him his opinion on the sub?
ject, He said that the tree had been
there ever since he had lived there. He
claimed the only peculiaritj- In the ap?
pearance of the tree was the strange
blood color of the bark, there being at
certain times in the year large blotches
of colored bark bearing the appearance
of being stained by blood. He Is not
able to account for the strangeness or
the peculiar location of the tree.?Buf?

A YOUNG WOMAN'S RUSE.
How a Too Ardent Suitor Made a Pre?
cipitate Exit, and Not
by the Door.
Col. I. ><*. Walker is the authority for
a story which, as he says, is a very prop?
er one for the parlor and.one which con?
tains several suggestions of value to
young ladies who may occasionally
find themselves in a position requiring
the use of diplomacy and tact. This
story avers that in a certain place not
very far away, and at a time not very-,
long ago, there was a young man who
came from a distautcity on a visittoone
of his friends, another young man who
stood high in the esteem of the com- ?
munity. The visiting youth was seri?
ously afflicted with the ambition of
meeting some" nice young lady of cul?
ture and refinement who might be mat?
rimonially inclined, and when his ac?
commodating friend told him of a very
handsome maiden of his ^j-quaintunce,
his soul was fired with energy. The
laudable purpose was strengthened per?
ceptibly by an incidental recital cn the
part of his friend of the old man's world?
ly possessions, and the young man was
on tenter hooks until he obtained an in?
troduction. The introduction obtained,
he lost no time, but called the nexteven
lng. The events of -that memorable
evening abide with him to the present
day.
It seems the pair were alone in the
parlor for something like half an hour
when the ardent j-outh threw discretion
to the wind and essayed a feat of oscu?
lation that was indignantly resented.
Whether he received a blow of the hand
upon his features is a mere matter of
speculation, but it was quite evident
there was some stamping of a dainty
foot and a darting of fire from indig?
nant eyes, for the young man was given
thoroughly to understand that if he did
it again the paternal parent would be
informed. But the thrust fell on heed?
less ears, for no sooner was it made
than i.he bold suitor once more at?
tempted his trick. Then war ensued in:
stunter. Out of the room swept the
young lady and the young man was left
to cogitate, but only for a brief space.
In the next room was the paternal
parent, a man who loved sporting above
almost everything else, and when his
daughter entered he was examining a
double-barreled shotgun in a fond and
doting manner. Said his daughter to
him: "Pa, there is a young man in the
parlor who, like yourself, is much In?
terested in hunting. I wish you would:
meet him. You might take your new
gun in with you, for I know he would
greatly admire the pnttern," Nothing
could suit the old man better than this,
so he marched into the parlor expecting
to receive the enthusiastic praise of a
true sport. But in this expectation he
was doomed to sad disappointment.
The young man saw him coming and
saw tho gun also. Exit by the door was
Impossible and the window offered the
oply hope for escape; so out he jumped
with all his might andidowr. the street
went flying as fast as his aroused fears
for life could make him. The old man
gazed on this strange scene with bewil?
derment, but his daughter had ob?
tained a point of vantage where she
gloried recklessly in the success of her

seldom proves fatal, though the symp?
toms are always alarming at the time.
When a child awakens in the night
with a flushed face and that peculiar
crowing noise in the breathing which
once heard It is impossible ever to for?
get it Is best to send for the doctor.
There Is no home remedy for mem?
branous croup, and the doctor only can
tell that it is not the more dangerous
disease. Until the doctor comes, keep
the child warm and give It, if it is a
year old, half a teaspoonful of sirup of
ipecac; if a year older, one teaspoonful.
Phis should produce vomiting in 10
minutes. If vomiting is not produced
the dose must be repeated, for the dis?
ease may be more serious than or?
dinary false croup. In false croup the
worst symptoms vanish as soon as
Vomiting is produced. A croupy child
should be carefully protected and kept
within doors for several days after an
attack.
When the cold of a child Is accus?
tomed to develop into "false croup" he
should be carefully guarded against
changes of weather by putting flannels
5n him. Hub his chest as soon as he
has a croupy cough with hot camphor?
ated oil, keeping the heat in with lay?
ers of warm flannel or cotton batting at
the hack and front of the chest. Give
dim also mild doses of ipecac to loosen
bis cold/ A teaspoonful of a mixture of
n teaspoonful of ipecac dissolved in a
tumbler of water and administered
every hour will not produce vomiting,
but will serve as a mild means to loosen
the phlegm and thus prevent an attack
of croup at night. Some doctors ad?
vise hardening a child who is accus?
tomed to having false croup by bathing
the little one daily in cold water nnd
rubbing him vigorously afterward with
the hand until the flesh is warm from
the friction. Such a child should cer?
tainly go out In the open air as much
as possible. It is not safe to weaken
their vitality by confining them within
floors any more than is necessary.?X.

Strength of a Lifflitxilnff Flaab,
To measure the current of strength
Sf a lightning flash seems almost Im?
possible, yet it has been determined by,
noting the amount of permanent mag?
netism in certain rocks on the surface of
the earth. The amount of magnetism
In these rocks seemed out of proportion'
with the ordinary magnetism of the
earth, so the proposition was advanced
that It was caused by an electric cur?
rent either passing through them or in
the immediate neighborhood. Herr F.
Bockels has recently made an investi?
gation of sections of the basaltic rock'
of the Winterberg in Saxony, which
bhow very irregular magnetism, that
must have been caused by a current of
nt least 2,900 amperes; passing over the
f urface of the rock, or else in the immc
fliatc neighborhood. Some basalt cut
hear a tree struck by lightning afford?
ed him a better opportunity for estimat?
ing the distance to the current, which
lie has computed to be nenrly C.500 am?
