McClure "I don't want to marry him! So thore!" The girl's rebellious frame of mind showed Itself in every line of her taut little figure nnd pouting face. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much," quoted her high school sister mischievously. "I believe you have a secret hankering, after all, Honeybee, to try experiments ln melting Icebergs, even English ones, which excel all other kuown varieties in general fiappe- ness." Bee blushed guiltily under Nell's Parthian shot and appealed te the other member of this "quorum of the Carter family committee," as Nell, the Incorrigible, styled these after breakfast councils. "Mamma, you don't approve of these International marriages cither. You know you don't," accused Bee. Her mother smiled amusingly. "I think a man who haiin't t>et foot on bis native heath during the entire Inst half of his thirty yenrs '.-an hardly be said to have all his nationality clinging to hlm still." "Yes; I told him Inst night when he wns waiting for you, Bee," put In Nell solemnly, "thnt I ifbnsidercd hlin quite Americanized. 'By which you-nh- niean civilized, I fnwncy,' he drawled. 'Preznctly,' I replied, sweef— "Oh, Nell, you didn't show oft any of your verbal corpses of murdered king's English, nnd he so very correct ln his speech!" broke ln Bee, quite horrified. Then she sighed, returning to'tho ral- son d'etre of this council meeting. " 'So very correct'—that phrase embodies the wbole life and personality of the Hon. John Mountby, late of Britain, now of Wall street He is so correct in his love- making that it is not lovcuiaking nt ail, only courtship. He takes me to the opera, is properly generous ln the mutter of chocolates nnd violets and bestows upon me all the'attention that the proprieties require ln n personally conducted affair de—de"— "Marriage," prompted Nell sympathetically. "That's just the trouble, eb, ma chere? No occur in lt, Just marriage." "Helen," remonstrnted her mother, "wherever do you get such Ideas, I wonder? It's quite improper, and you only sixteen"— "And never been kissed, which drawback we will now proceed to remedy, E> WAS LEANING HEAVILY OM THE OLD DIAL. morasy, dear," wheedled the girl, with a coaxing expression on her piquant face nnd a resounding smack ou her mother's check. "Don't be foolish, Noll," remarked Mra. Carter, but with an unrcprovliig twinkle In her eye. "This ls a serious matter. Now, Beatrice, my child, why don't you wish to marry Mr. Mountby'/ I hud rather hoped—lie is wealthy, steady and sincere, with no bud habits. 'livery inch n man,' your father says, with no frills about hlm"— "That's Just lt, mamma. He hasn't nny frills, und I like frills. Every woman does. She needs to be told she is nii-e In order to keep her nice"— "Is that why you're so nice to Larry Moore's blarney?"* questioned Noll demurely. Bee and Larry always quarreled unmercifully. She ignored this taunt and went on with dignity: "Mr. Mouutby's face is always so Impassive, such terribly good form. He Is so reserved nnd 6tnnd-ofllsh. He never gives compliments, except thc most laboriously made for the pur ose ones. He never says anything about love- only wants u wife. He hasn't as much sentiment us—as—Topsy here." And Bee picked up her woolly pet and burled her pretty faco and n hnlf sob In his friendly silken coat. Topsy showed his canine sympathy by licking the soft cheek, down which a tear was furtively stealing. "Well, dear," concluded the mother, Willi a gentle sigh of regret, as she arose to leuve the dining room, "you need not marry nny ono you do uot love"— "Oh, I didn't say"— bpg(in Bee quickly, nnd bit her tongue, catching Nell's merciless eye. "But"— Mrs. Carter paused, with her hand on the door—"remeinber one thing, my daughter—men, even Ameri can men—don't hang their best feelings in the sight of all eyes." "Hero endeth the lirst lesson," Impiously concluded Nell, "or Is it the fourth or the seventh? How many have there been anyway, Bee? There was Tom aud Chester and Larry aud"— "Well, I shall refuse this one anyway," rebelled the candidate for matrimonial honors. Aud the council meeting adjourued. . Thut evenlug Jack Mountby came for his answer. He wus tbe personification of good form, from his smoothly parted balr and boutonniere gardenia to his aggressively correct patent leathers. His well inoculated voice wus ns culm when he inquired for Miss Carter ns though he had called for the menu ut Sherry's. If he felt any trepidation over his Impending fate, he certainly showed none lu his imperturbable manner. This balmy spring evening Bee had determined that the stage setting for her haughty refusal of tliis Impassive Englishman should be quite ln keeping with the tragedy of the act Itself. So she had directed Jenkins to send her caller to the Lilac walk, her own particular bit of bowery green in the grounds back of her suburban home. She hnd made n studiously unstudied toilet on strict Melba at the spinning wheel models. Her simple white gown shimmered ln the moonlight. When she rose from the bench by the Ivy grown sundial, an English Importation, and enme to meet him, Mountby thought he had never seen anything more lovely. It made him think of the rising of the evening star. But nil he said was a stiffly formal word of greeting nnd the old, old— "How charming you look this evening!" Bee hated the wornout phrase. It wns nn added fillip to her wrath, and she led blm vindictively to his doom under the budding lilacs. When it wns over she bQheld the Immovable, well bred face in the moonlight, no sign of nny havoc wrought by her. She bade him a curt good night, to which hurt vanity nnd stifled love and longing gave an added hardness. As she turned toward the house nnd looked up to the light In her mother's room she longed to throw herself into thnt haven of refuge and burst into a storm of tears. Hor mother's words of tho morning came back to her, "The deepest love remains unsaid." rerhtlps nfter all he might have cared. Anyway she would walk for awhile under the lilacs. She wont bnck slowly to the scene of her carefully planned tragedy. Somehow lt wasn't so dolefully pleasant ns the opera scene sbe bad imagined lt would bo. No, he had not gone. He was lean* Ing heavily upon tho old sundial, and his broad shoulders were shaking violently with the terrible, dry, tenrless sobs of a man who bad gone down into thc deep. The girl hnd never seen n man cry before, nnd lt frightened her. All tbe shut-In floods of love and longing in her tender little soul were let loose nt the dreadful sight She put her arms nbout his neck and kissed the pale face, passive no longer, but distorted with grief. "I know It's n dream, darling, nnd will fade in a minute," he whispered brokenly. "But I wish to God I'd never wake again!" "It isn't a dream, dear," she answered tremulously as bis arms closed about her, "unless It's love's young dream, and we need not wnke nt all." A DOUBLE RESURRECTION. When Monte-Christo Went Down. The first day I worked like a Trojan, only stopping nt 7 p. m. to snatch a bite. At last at 8:15 p. m. the curtain went up on tho first net, nnd the show wus on. Everything ran remarkably well until thc scene of tbe escape from the prison. In tbis climax Monte- Chrlsto is thrown ln the surging sen, sewn up in n bag. As he strikes the water he cuts thc bag open and, climbing up on a rock, the stage lightning flushing nbout him, cries out above the storm, "The world ls mine, mine the treasures of Monte-Christo!" while the spray of the ocean dashes over him. Bight here was where I struck n snag. It was the duty of the property mnn to create thla spray by throwing baiidfuls of rock suit out from the wings over the shoulders of Monte- Cbristo. That night the stage manager guvc me a pall of salt nnd told me to throw It over the hero the moment he mounted tho rock, so, ns the curtain went up, I stood, pall In hand, ln readl- ne.-is. Monte-Christo made his appear- un.'P, and at the stage manager's signal I let tlie salt go—not a handful, but the entire pull. Full In the actor's face It struck, nnd straightway from tho rock he tumbled, while tho curtain descended amid roars of laughter.—Leslie's Monthly. A Dead Letter and m Lively One.

Genernl Barlow of the Union army fell wounded aud, It was thought, dying during the first day of the battle of Gettysburg and withiu the Confederate lines. Genernl Gordon, cantering by, saw him and recognized him. Dismounting, he approached the prostrate man and inquired what he could do for him. "I am dying," snid Barlow. "Just reach into my coat pocket, draw out the letter you find there nud rend it to me. It ls from my wife." Gordon read the letter. "Now, general," said Barlow, "please destroy that letter. I want you to notify her—she is In the town over yonder —what hns happened to me." "I will," replied Gordon. He sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her safe conduct through tho southern lines, nnd then rode nwny. certain that Barlow's death was n question of only a few hours ut most. But Barlow did not die. His wifo enme promptly and had hiin removed to the town of Gettysburg, where alio nursed him so faithfully that he recovered. Many yenrs passed until one night both genernls were guests at n dinner ln Washington. Some one brought them together nnd formally Introduced them. Time had altered the personal appearance of both. "Are you any relation to the General Barlow who was killed nt Gettysburg?" nsked Gordon. "Ves; n very near relation," nn- swered Barlow, with a laugh. "I nm the very man who was killed. But I have been Informed that a man named Gordon lost his life in battle later on. He saved my lifo at Gettysburg. Aro you any kin to that man?" "I am he," was thc reply. Both heroes laughed us they gave each other a heartier handshake. IF YOU ARE WELL BRED- You will try to make others happy. You will not be shy or self conscious.

Finger rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches nnd other nrtlcles of personal adornment originnted not from the a*s- thetic sense of our remote ancestors, but from their belief in magic. Even civilized men today sometimes entertain n superstitious regard for small stones and pebbles of peculiar shape or color nnd carry them about as charms. The Greeks and Asiatics used stones, beads and crystals primarily us amulets and cut devices on them to enhance their magical power. The use of such stones as seals was secondary and may nt first have boon for sacred purposes only. When n primitive people first flud gold they value it ouly for its supposed magic and wear nuggets of it strung with beads. Derivations of Some Common Words. One remembers how on the 10th of June, 1215, King John signed the great charter of the constitutional freedom of Britain and how after he hud signed It he flung himself In n burst of fury on the floor uud gnawed the straw nnd rushes with which the floors of those days were strewn. Now, what was "charta?'' Originally nothing more or less than n sheet of papyrus strips glued together ns writing paper. So It Is to the Fgyptluu reed that we owe our "charters," "charts," "cards," "cartes" (blanche and do vislte), our "cartoons" and our "cartridges."—London Chronicle. Aeearate.

By MARTHA NcCULLOCH-WILLlAMS Copyright, 1903, by T. C. McCliyo 3o«w*«wokm*o*m; Outside It was raw and gusty, witli white, high lying clouds scudding so thickly across n pale sky that only wan nnd watery sunshine strained through tho breaks between. Inside there was the balm of May, especially ln the south parlor, where I knew I should find Myrtilla. Myrtilla ls tall nnd twenty, with a child's foot and n turn of the bend nnd neck that would become nn empress. Sho hus corul red lips, a line, straight nose, olivo skin, dtyrk almond eyes, heavily lashed and lidded, nnd n low, straight brow, deeply shadowed by dusky floss silk hair. In virtue of nil this she reigns us a qucon over most men. We had been engaged until two weeks ago—to bo exact, until thc dato of the Verinews' ball nnd the opisodo of tho Grantley girl. The ball ls ancient history now; besides, it has really nothing to do with the case. I left off dancing—with the Grantley girl nt 4 a. in.—to lling myself into tweeds nnd' set forth upon a week's Journey. Coming homo from it, I found my table cumbered with my letters to Myrtilla down to the most fragmentary note—thoso of the last week unopened—my ring, my books, n bracelet or two, tho locket with my picture nnd n litter of thoso idiotic things ono sends ut Christmas and Easter and on birthdays. It was this litter that saved me from utter despair. I reasoned that if Myrtilla had cared enough for me to keep it all this time she could not give up caring for me in n moment. Still, I knew there was a touch job ahead. But I did not dream she would go to the length of refusing to see or hear me or even to listen to my side of the caso through Aunt Bab, most tactful of intermediaries. Hor people backed her, too-all but Dicky. Dicky is fifteen and owns the distinction of being the only thing in trousers Myrtilla has found herself unable to subjugate. I cannot flatter myself that Dicky's advocacy of my cause was wholly disinterested. Dicky has a fine taste ln terrier pups and a relish for stolen gallops on my hunters. At home he is allowed nothing more hazardous than a steady going cob. However that may he, It meant a lot to have nny sort of friend at court. Otherwise, how sliould tho hall door have swung open at my approach? The servants had strict orders to shut It civilly In my face. "She's In tliere. lt boats mo why you want hor, why you want any girl, when you've got heaps of dogs and horses," Dicky said, grinning, as I shot past him. "She's been real hateful polite; no good for even a light this whole week," Dicky's voice pursued me down thc hall. The south parlor Is a square jut, open tipon three sides to the sun, with walls more than half windows, iron barred outside and full of green growing things within. Thero is a big fireplace. Myrtilla stood In front of It, her eyes Intently fixed upon the smoldering logs. At my entrance sho started ever so lit- | tie, turned her head tho least bit and j kept on staring in the lire. "Myrtilla," I ventured irresolutely, i my hand still on the doorknob. | She sat down and took up her em* ! broidery, her face still further averted. Then I knew I bad won half a point. I If she had boen as angry as she be- j lieved herself to be sho would havo marched away with her nose ln the air. ! I began again formally, "Miss Qrey," but stopped short. Sho had begun to whistle over ber work softly, meditatively, as though she knew herself to be alone. Something happened then. I am neither poet nor romancer, but my ranging eye saw In tho south window a crea- turo of tropic charm, slim and tai), green gowned as a wood nymph, with wonderful golden tawny eyes and n crown still moro wonderfully red A3 I went to her sho shivered and set all her green gown Battering defensively, but I paid no heed to It, only said joyously, baring my head: "Amaryllis! Ymi are a real godsend! I was never so glad to see any one lu all my life." Myrtillii's bend came around so that I saw her profile out of tho tall of my eye, 1 fancied she stand, but dared not mako sure of it. My wood nymph barely nodded; ber tremors wero all at rest I bent toward hor low enough to look Into her golden tawny eyes and run on: "What have you dono to yourself? You aro so beautiful, so strangely, so rarely beautiful, it makes me desperate that I did not keep my heart for you, or, rather, lt would make me desperate If hearts wero things that could bo given or kept at will," Certainly tlio wood nymph stared; the golden tawny eyes looked nt mo unwinking, Myrlillu's head had turned n little moro. Her lips were tho least bit parted, as though her breath cunie hard. I straightened nnd stuck n hand In my pocket as I ndded: "Tho pity of It! There's a truo heart gono to waste! True hearts aro none so plenty, Amaryllis." "Certainly they nro not," came .scornfully from tho fireside. I affected not to hear and went on manfully; "I've played nnd lost-lost so miserably. Listen-then tell mo if you think I quite deserve what I am getting?" "I am going away," cntno faintly from Myrtllia's chair, but Myrtilla herself sat still and even made u pretense nf putting stitches Into her work. Find ing me silent through n loug minute, she sat very straight and added: '•Naturally one ls nervous at finding oneself alone with a lunatic. Only lunatics talk to things as though tbey were people." "Don't mind hor, Amaryllis,'*.1 said softly. "Boor creature, she ls jealous. She thinks you nre no more thuu n Illy blooming in a pot. We know better, of course." "Really I did not dreum you had so much Imagination," Myrtilla said outright, snipping her thread as she spoke. 1 stared harder tban ever at Amaryllis, saying: "Imagination is n fearful thing sometimes. I nm glad, Amaryllis, you altogether lack lt. You would never sot- lu ordinary civilities to a pretty girl anything to turn your love- 'ly golden tawny eyes green." "Dancing or sitting out every other number, I suppose, comes under the head of 'ordinary civilities,"' Myrtilla said, hor lip curling. I kept on quietly: "And even if you felt hurt you would let me explain. The Verinews have hearts ns big ns their fortune. Thus it happens I owe thorn what money can never pay. Not so many years bnck thoro was n big Hurry in thc street thnt put my governor In the worst sort of hole. It needed n cool million to get Dim out, nnd a Verlnew million did lt. Yet tho governor was hardly an acquaintance. Verlnew learned his extremity by chance and came to his help because, as ho phrased lt, he didn't think tho other side was putting up a square deal, lt docs not lesson the obligation that he got his million back, plus a good profit. Eventually the Grant- ley girl will have lt, with several millions more, Bhe is n granddaughter— unacknowledged because Mme. Verlnew wishes to seem ns young ns their fortune-but the very apple of the Veri- new eye. They wanted her to bo the hello of die ball -she was shy nnd sensitive nnd frightened half out of her Wits, Somehow sho trusted me"— "1 dou't nt nil wonder at that," said a voice from tho fireplace, I bowed gravely and resumed: "When she i.s not frightened sho Is pretty, Amaryllis. Her head is spbndidly rod— not quite so red as yours. She is light on her feet, too, and loves to dance as well as the flowers do. Tho trouble ls she has not yet quite caught the rhythms she must move to, so needs must lean heavily upon her partner. I understood; some of the others did not. Occasionally one was Hurried, still more occasionally one Impertinent And a siiiKli.- cud let her seo be was ashamed of (lancing with her In spite of the mil* lions. At her lirst ball! Think of lt! I had lo lake away the Sting of it somehow. Perhaps I did seem devoted, but Bbe didn't misunderstand. I told her about Myrtilla in our very first w tits." A little inarticulate cry from ibe fireplace here. Covertly I saw tears on .Myrtilla'S checks. She made as I' ugh to rise, but sank back, turned away her head and resumed the furious stabbing wilh her needle. I gathered the green- cry cf Amaryllis in my bands laid my cheek against It und said dreamily: "Amaryllis, tell mo why I nm fated to love dusky balr. All the painters and poets agree that red is over so much more beautiful." "Are you sure, quite sure, you do love It?" Myrtilla nske.i tremulously. Sho was not answered In words. Five minutes later Dicky, bursting In upon us, found US side by side, looking down nt Amaryllis through sunshine grown suddenly and magically warm and golden. After u long look Dicky Whistled, turned on his heel and said from the door over his shoulder: "So you two havo made it up. McSnlfters said you would, 'cause thnt red lily bloomed so far ahead of time. But I don't care about thai. All I want is to know what you're goin' to give me when you get married.'
