As from the shelter of the trec-
we watched the youngsters on the
lawn, Mrs. Varalour gave a si<*li.
'S outh I" she apostrophised,
"golden youth!"
J, too, sighed—Mrs. Vera I our
Bcemed to expect it of me. Besides,
one must conform to the customs of
the society in which.'one lives. As a
matter of fact, I had no particular-
ly painful yoarnvtg to Vesuuie the
somewhat clumsy and distressing
Imliit of youth.
"Youth," I felt it my duty to
point out, ."is not properly a phase
of time. It is not a possession, it is
a feeling. One has ouly to desire,
and one has. Seek, and one has
found. The spirit of youth is
within reaching distance of every-
one." Then it struck me that Mrs.
Veralour was quite near to me, so I
ventured a slight bow.
-Mrs. Veralour tried to suppress a
laugh.
1 raised my eyebrows.
"It was such an obvious after-
thought," she explained.
Before 1 could protest Miss Sey-
r*on't let's hide there, though."
"Oh, you know it, too, do you?"
I sa:d. "Why not hide there? No-
body coidd possibly find us unless
'they knew of the place; and not
| many do."
Miss Seymour shrugged her
shoulders protestingly.
; "Of eoursc, if you're very keen—"
:.sho began.
My dear girl," I cried hastily,
'where you please. Heaven forbid
that 1 have reached the age when I
can insist with ladies."
Accordingly we sought shelter
among the rose trees, and, seating
j herself upon an upturned bucket,
Miss Seymour smiled up at me. I
know no more pleasurable'sensation
than that which comes from being
smiled at by a pretty girl." Al-
though something under 40 is the
ideal age for a man, at that moment

mour detached herself from the oth-
ers and came over to us.
"Aren't you going to play, .Mr.
Blake.'" she inquired.
I shook my head regretfully.
"I am too old for your games," I
informed her.
"But you're not. Is he, Mrs
V cralour?"
Mrs. Veralour turned a critical
glance in my direction.
"A man is as old as he feels," she
PAid ocntentiouslv.
"And a woman is as old as she
looks," said Miss Seymour, finishing
tie tag with all the tactlessness of
youth. Nobody had asked Mrs.
veralour to join in (he game.
"Nonsense," I corrected; "a wom-
an is as old as she—savs."
"Well, anyhow, I'm sure vmt !
don t feel old—not now." She
muled at me brightly. "Do come. I
Its Ivdo-aml-sof'!,."
"But I shan't know where to ,

looked invitingly over her shoulder.
I avoided U rs. Veralour's eve as
I rose and followed her. But a sar-
castic chuckle v. Iiicli reached me
straightened my shoulders and added
a eprmgiqess to my gait.
My arrival was hailed with a
shout of Joy, and I was promptly
elected to the post of seeker I
looked at .Miss Seymour nppealing-
Jy-(i s!j° E-ve me a a ass. ring smile.
"He's not going to be anything
of the sort," she said authoritatively!
ou will, Mr. Miles, won't you?"
For a i ioi. or-t I failed to recog-
nize Jack under this title, until hi*
scowling face revealed his identity.
Al> right, he enid surlily.
At Christmas thev had been Mo'-
Iie and Jack to each other Since
then, however, Mrs. Scvmo-ir i,ad '
decided that Mollie was ■ rovn up.
Pretty girls always grow up sooner ,
in an plain ones.
Miss Seymour seized my hand
and waved off the vofln5est mem- i
bcrs of the party, who came crowd- |
ing round.
"No, you can't hide with me
You'll have lo find places for your-
selves. I'm going to hide with Mr. '
Blake. Come along, Mr. Blake."
"Where shall we hide?" I asked, 1
as we reached the shelter of the
rofery. "There used o be a little

"let," said Alius Ssjmonr.
I would willingly have retreated 20
years from this perfection.
I mentioned something of my de-
sire to my companion.
^ ou re not old," she protested—
"that is, not very."
I shook my head sadly.
"I hate boys," she went on;
' they re so uninteresting—and con-
ceited."
outh," I said wisely, "-is the
only age at which conceit is pos-
sible. 1 hen one can be conceited
over what one is going to do."
"Pooh!" said Miss Mollie. "1
think a man ought only to be eon-
| eeited over what he has done."
"Alas!" said I sadly, "that is ex-
actly what he shouldn't be." A re-
j mark altogether beyond Miss Mol-
i lie's comprehension.
She reflected over it for a tro-
; ment, and then gave it up.
"You're the same age as Mrs.
j Veralour, aren't you, Mr. Blake?"
! "I was once," I replied, "but that
was many years ago."
"We used to play hide-awl-seek,"
I I continued, "in this very garden."
i "That docs sound funny," de-
! elared Miss Mollie," with a sudden
| smile. "You and Mrs. Veralour!"
"Ifev!" said I. Hide-and-seek is
a most innocent game—or it used
to be in my young days. "What does
that mean?"
Nothing,' she replied, looking
at me with innocent eyes. (Iler
mother had just such eyes^-so I had
reason for my doubts as to their
trustworthiness). "Did she show
you the place in the laurels?"
| "We found it together," I said.
"Were you ever discovered?"
"I don't remember," I replied,
j "Probably not, for we alwavs hid
| there."
A look of some appreciation came
, info ti c -young lady's face, and she
shook her head at me reprovingly.
\oung Master Jack doesn't ap-
1 pear to have found anylmdy vet," I
said, some minutes later.
I'expect he's only troubling to
! look for us," she replied.
by ?' said I, though I knew
j well enough. '
.'liss .Mollie flushed, ever so
i slightly.
"Wouldn't you?" she asked, her
lips pursed impudently.
I 1 hen 1 knew that my theory was
i ' orri'c'- P<ir my youth was almost
itithin reaching distance; another
inch, and I should l:e able to seize
j it.
It capered in front of me, beck-
oning. It was beckoning me—oh,
for many reasons, none of which
j have anything to do with this story
toward that hidingrplace in the
j laurels—the hiding-place that I
j knew, and that Mollie knew.
But when we went there I didn't
j find my youth. Instead, I found
Master Jack, very surlily smoking
a cigarette.
"Well," said Mrs. Veralour, "so
you sought your youth. You found
it, of course?"
"I saw it,"" I said gruffly.
^ es, saifl Mrs. \ cralour, with
a suiiie which was sympathy and
half malice.
So then I told her all aliout it.
"You silly man," she said, as I
finished, "that was not Mi" spirit nt
youth you saw; that was a ghost."

Show* us the man who can live
on 13 cents daily for one month.
The cost of living in the cities
has grown to such an exteut that
it hardly pays a man to trv to
live, and that's no joke.
Ilus.<ia has adopted the twenty-
four-hour clock, as it is called.
That means that their hours will
run from 1 o'clock to twenty-four
o clock. This saves the trouble
of dividing the time inVj. a. in.
and p. m, periods. By this sys-
tem the numeralsXII to XXIII

Prof. Lowell's view of the orig
ination of life ou this planet as-,
sumci tliut much higher ten'pera
turs were rer|nired at first than
those which commonly prevail
now. Tue human race is suppos-
ed to have existed about 250,000
years. It has been conscious of
its existence only about 10.000
years, and really alive as a pys-
chic-beinp le*s than 5,000 years.
The most tbat it has accom-
plished of any valuo to itself has,
been done within 2,000 years and
its great work within 200 years.
In a word, relatively speak.ng,
man lias only jnsc begun to exist.
His golden ace is before him.
His history ia but the threshold
of the ps.vchozic a^e. The
whole of that immense period lies,
before him. The present favor-)
able conditions lor life are liable !
J to last as long: us the tertiary per -
j iod. namely about 3,000,000 j
vears.

HIS COMMENT.
Howell—What did the poor fel-
low say when they picked him up
with a broken leg after being
knocked down l_ a trolley car?
Powell—That it was the first time
in Ins life that he hadn't had to
wait for a car.
PUT TO NEW USE.
Crawford—So your wife docin't
make mince pies any more?
Craliehaw —Xo. She use. ::|| t|,e
