A smothered cry broke from the girl's |

it with a forced smile, at the same !

With a mighty effort at self control,
the young girl silenced the quivering
pang at her breast, and turned to-

"After all," she said. In a tired little
way, her voice low and dispassionate,
"I think I shall not ask you to make
it. I can understand— how painful-
it would be— for you."

Marjory in her pink Chambray \ you do not laugh as often as a young
dress, a long white box tucked under person would, but—"
one arm, tripped joyously up the little
flight of steps that led to her dress-
maker's apartments. Her delicate
blonde face looked very fair and love-
ly under the quaint Poke bonnet with
its bunch of blush roses or top and
the soft liberty ribbons that tied un-
der her chin.
A rich, vivid color had risen to her
cheeks—a perfect match to the flow-
ers in her hat—and enhancing, if pos-
sible, the clear sparkle in her blue-
gray eyes. Her lips were parted slight-
ly, revealing just the edges of her
milk-colored teeth.
She paused at the landing a moment
for breath, and then tapped gently on
the oak-panelled door.
Marjory was a regular visitor at the
fashionable establishment and the
sweet-faced little woman who was the
proprietor always welcomed her with
a pleased smile; not so much on ac-
count of the big bill which was sure
to follow, but because she enjoyed
listening to the girl's merry chatter,
and loved to look at her pure, piquant
face, full of refreshing animation.
In response to her light tap, the
door was opened from within, and the
young girl, like a sudden sunbeam,
glided into the close little room with
its inevitable litter of unfinished gar-
ments and bulky packages.
She sank down in one of the straight
hair-covered chairs, and began to un-
tie the big twine cord that bound her
box, rattling on gaily to the quiet little
woman who was busily occupied over
her basting table.
"Look!" she cried tremulously,
"Isn't It beautiful?"
She had drawn out a rich, shimmer-
ing mass of creamy satin from ner
package and was stroking It with ten-
der. loving fingers.
"My wedding dress," she exclaimed
softly, almost reverently, "and I have
brought it my very ow n self for you to
make. I couldn't trust it to a serv-
ant."
Sudden tears filled the eyes of the
older woman and she was silent.
Rut Marjory was too deeply en-
grossed in contemplation of the gleam-
ing fabric spread across her knees—
the sacred link that was to join to-
gether a glad, tranquil girlhood to a
life of fuller happiness—to notice the
other's emotion.
She went on, a warm light in her
eyes;
"Now I want you to do your very
best on this. Your very best, remem-
ber, just as though it were—your very
own." Her voice was as soft as an
angel's whisper as she added, smiling.
"He is just the bravest, truest man
that ever lived and I—love—him—so."
The blood mounted still more vivid-
ly to her cheeks as she spoke thus,
creeping ever so slightly beyond the
borders of her usually fine reserve.
There was an Imperceptible pause.
Marjory had raised her starry eyes
to her companion's face, and now for
the first time she noticed the look of
sadness In her dressmaker's soft,
brown eyes and about her sweet, gen-
tle mouth.
Something vague and indefinable
seemed to stir In the girl's heart like
the first faint breath of a storm. Her
The dressmaker turned her head a
little uneasily and her eyelids drooped
and quivered until they swept her
worn cheek.
"It is not the yeaps that age," she
replied falteringly, "but— life's road."
Her voice trailed off into a sob and a
big, hot tear plashed on the piece of
work in her lap.
Marjorie leaned over to where she
sat and laid one of her soft white
hands over the woman's little brown
one, that was hard aud roughened by
toil.
"Tell me," she coaxed softly in the
tone that one would use to a hurt
HORSE KNEW HIS DUTY.
Usual Summons to Divine Service
Found Him Ready.
My grandfather by marriage. Daniel
Lane, was a very devout churchgoer,
and for thirty-eight years of his life,
was a member of the First Unitarian
Congregational church of Norton,
Mass., and for twelve years one of its
honored deacons. He was a devout
worshiper, and I can well remember
that he and one other, Judge leon-
ard, used to stand up in their pews
with bowed heads during the prayer
service while all the other members
of the congregation remained seated.
In those days there was a row of
sheds back of the church, built by
people who wished to protect their
horses and carriages from the driving
storms of winter, and the scorching
suns of summer. One of these sheds
belonged to my grandfather.
One Sunday morning the old gentle-
man was sick, and, instead of going to
church, the family horse was turned
into the yard to graze awhile. The ani-
mal no sooner heard the ringing of
the church bell tiian off he started at
his usual Sabbath day trot, took his
place in the familiar shed, where he
stood still until the service was over,
when he joined in the procession of
the other homeward-bound teams.—

Three diamonds, cut from the
world-famous stone and valued in the
aggregate at $90,000, have disappear-
ed from the shop of Tiffany & Co.,
No. 15 Union Square, New York. Sat-
isfied that they were stolen by some
person In their employ, but mystified
by the strange circumstances con-
nected with the iheft and the absence
of clues, the company has set in mo-
tion the detective forces of two con-
tinents in their endeavor to recover
the precious gems.
In all ten diamonds were cut from
the Excelsior last fall, shortly after
Its purchase by Tiffany from an Eng-
lish syndicate. The stone was found
at Jagersfontein, South Africa, in
1893, and in the rough weighed 971
earats. It was the largest diamond
that has ever been cut up, and the
total value of ten stones taken from
It was $50,000. Five of the diamonds
were sold ^y Tiffany to well-known
New York people last Christmas. Of
the remaining five the company now
has only two.

brow clouded suddenly, but as sudden-
ly cleared and a tender smile passed
over her face.
"Forgive me," she said In the sym-
pathetic little way characteristic of
her. "I did r ot mean to wound you—
I—if I had known—"
"Never mind, dear. It's—It's nothing
I'm just a foolish old woman, that's
all."
Her voice was low and sweet and
musical like the voice of a girl, but
there was a wistful note In It that did
not escape the younger woman's no-
tice.
"Why do you say 'old'?" she quer-
"Neil?" she whispered, hoarsely.
child longing to pour out It's feelings
Into some sympathetic
The little woman smiled gratefully
through a mist of tears. A sudden
sense of rest stole over her. It was so
rarely that anybody gave her more
than a mere passing thought.
She did not speak at once; she was
too full for that, and a sort of dreami
ness came into her eyes as they rest
ed upon her companion. She seemed
to be looking at her through a sort
of reminiscent haze, and living over
her own youth. After a while she
spoke;
"I, too, was once young and joyous,"
she said slowly and a little unsteadily.
"Young and joyous like you, with life's
vista of happiness stretching out be-
fore me. The world was a veritable
palace and a man—my idol."
She paused and covered her face
with both hands. Low sobs shook her
frame, but she quickly crushed them
down and went on in a sort of inouo-
tone;
"It was not until the day before
out wedding was to take place that I
discovered, instead of the pure gold I
had worshiped, my Idol was of—
clay."
There was another pause, this time
longer than the last. Twilight had
fallen gradually, and long gray shad-
ows stole into the room and sought
out the woman's bowed head.
When she looked up her face bore
the stamp of infinite sadness, but the
old settied look of calmness and
sweetness had returned to It; the
look of resignation.
Marjorie's eyes were swimming In
tears as she listened to the woman's
story, but she pressed her hand reas-
suringly as she said, her voice trem-
bling a little:
"You did not tell me what happened
—on that—day."
The answer came clear and firm, not
the slightest intonation betraying the
scar of bitterness that had seamed
her life.
"He was a married man—that's all
My family was poor," she went on
musingly, "and I made my own clothes
—my wedding dress, too. I have
never made another since, and I—
I always said 1 never would. But. of
course, I will take yours. Mine was
not so fine or so rich as yours will be,
but it was my wedding dress and I
loved it just the same. We were to
be so happy, Neil and I—" She broke
off suddenly and passed her hand
through the waves of shining hair
that framed her face, and trying to
choke down the gulp that kept rising
to her throat.
Marjory was staring at her with
wide, dry eyes.
"Neil?" sho whispered hoarsely.
"Neil— who?"
The woman glanced at her in quiet
surprise, wondering that another's sor-
row should distress the girl so keenly.
But she only e «wered with studied
Indifference, in vhich there was a
vague uneasine*...
"Neil— Godfrey. That was his
name. I shouldn't have worried you,
dear, with this trouble of mine, at a
time when only the bright and beauti-
ful ought to touch your life. You must
try to forget all about it."
As she spoke her eyes lingered af-
fectionately on the girl's pure face,
TO STOP PREMATURE BURIAL.
London Bill for Waiting Morgues and
Death Verifiers Prepared.
The London Association for the
Prevention of Premature Burial has
prepared a hill for introduction into
the house of commons which will,
doubtless, share the fate of many simi-
lar documents, says a Ixmdon letter
to the Kansas City Journal. It em-
powers local authorities to provide
"waiting mortuaries, warmed, lighted
and ventilated," in which bodies are
to lie until the requirements of the
proposed act are complied with, and
they may be furnished with a post-
mortem room with laboratory ap-
paratus for resuscitation.
The bill also proposes that there
should be qualified medical practition-
ers appointed by the secretary of state
as death verifiers, to give their whole
time to the work without taking pri-
vate practice. The method of certifi-
cation. the duties of death verfifiers,
and various other matters including
rewards for persons who resuscitate
apparently dead persons are contained
in sixteen sections.

employed all day on the 4th. had

man whose duty It was to lock up the
valuables did not miss tho diamonds.
It was when the artificer asked for
the diamonds next morning to finish
his job of setting them that the theft
was discovered.

approached with an offer to return

Another Egg Trust.
Youngsters who go bird's-nesting
will read with envy of the recent ad-
dition to the collection at South Ken-
sington Museum of the 10,000 eggs col-
lected by the late W. Radcliffe Saun-
ders. This addition to the collection
brings the total up to very nearly 100,-
000 specimens and fills many gaps.
Even the 90,000 previously collected
did not represent a complete set, since
many of these were duplicates, and of
the rarer sorts the number is so lim-
ited that every existing specimen is
known to collectors as exactly as are
the old masters to art dealers and ex-
perts.
Mr. Saunders' collection was one of
the largest, ever made hv a private
perse*, and large sums have been spent
for a single specimen of the rarer
sorts. He was as enthusiastic in his
way as was any small boy who gath-
ers his nests at the expense of torn
clothing and barked knees, but he did
most of his collection through profes-
sional nest hunters, many of whom be-
longed to expeditions sent into Africa
and unsettled places to capture wild
beasts for the zoological gardens.
LAMAR'S KINDNESS OF HEART.
Deed That Won for Him Friendship
of Secretary Taft.
Secretary Taft has always been an
enthusiastic admirer of the late Jus-
tice Lamar of Mississippi. Mr. Taft
was assistant attorney general when
Justice Ivamar was on the United
States supreme bench. The first time
the big Ohio man appeared before that
August tribunal he stumbled through
a small duty Just as the judges were
about to retire. Ho was much embar-
rassed and felt that he had not ap-
peared at all to advantage As he was
about to hurry away Justice 1-atnar
came over, threw an arm over his
shoulder and said In kindly tones.
"It's all right, my boy. Don't you be
afraid of those fellows on the bench.
They won't bite you. Even if they
wanted to their teeth are too old and
worn to do much damage. If you but
knew it, yours are twice as sharp.
The secretary in telling of this inci-
dent says; "From that day to this I
have never ceased to thank the lov-
able Mlssissippian for making me have
faith in myself."
BEAUTY LACKING IN CITIES.
American Municipalities Are Behind
in This Respect.
Tho time is rapidly approaching
when the excuse can no longer be of-
fered that American cities are new and
lacking in tho essentials of good
streets, fire protection, etc. Some
American cities are far too old, too
rich and too well equipped with all
essentials to have any excuse left for
their sordid disregard of beauty. That
they have begun to draft plans for
comprehensive beautification is a sign
that civic pride is not wholly wanting.
The people are beginning to realize
that their cities are here to stay and
that tho utility of beauty should not
be neglected. When they are finally
convinced that judicious beautificatlon
is profitable, in dollars and cents,
which is the lesson taught by the
French, they will speedily transform
their ugly municipalities. But, some-
how, they are slow la learning the les-
son.—Washington Post.
YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.
llaskan Traveler Followed Night and
Day by Wolves.
A grewsome tale i« told by the
Pittsburg Dispatch of the bringing of
the body of the Kte Mayor of Seattle
front tho interior of Alaska. M. A.
Mahoney, who had charge of tho
body, started alone from Fairbanks
to draw the coffin over the snow road
by sledge. Two days out of Fairbanks
he was crossing a level bit -nf coun-
try over which the trail made way
through forests of giant pine and fir.
With tho first shadows of sight
there came a long, low wall. It was
followed bv another and anotiier,
each unmistakably nearer. Tho man,
standing on a lonely Alaskan trail,
hundreds of miles from the nearest
habitation, and with a burden on his
hands that he had sworn to bring
safely to civilization, knew what It
meant. It was tho cry of tho wolf.
Mahoney realized that if ho remain-
ed on the trail he would never live
to see another day. Ho knew that
three long days and nights must pass
before he could hope for human help.
He had covered a vast stretch of ter-
ritory that day, and he was exhaust
cd; but he must not think of sleep.
He turned off into the woods, and
.inder the shelter of tho pines built a
big fire. It was well he acted quickly,
for he had scarcely fed his dogs and
matched a morsel of supper hllnself
when the wolves arrived.
All night long that lonely camp was
surrounded by a row of gleaming
eyes. Mahoney sat alone, the coflln
for his seat, with every nerve strain-
ed. Once nature took revenge, and
his heavy eyes drooped.
While he dozed the fire died down,
and Mahoney woke with a start. A
gaunt gray wolf was poking his nose
very near to him. The man hastened
to throw on more wood, and tho
beasts slunk away until only the
gleam of their eyes told that they
were keeping watch.
With tho morning sun the wolves
vanished, and Mahoney onco more
took up the trail. Not once all day
did he see a sign nor hear a sound
from the pack that he knew was sil-
ently following. With the sunset,
however, camo the long, bloodcurd-
ling wall.
Tho second night was a fight
against sleep. He tied a pine knot to
his right hand. As he dozed off, the
(lames would burn and waken him.
As tho day before, tho wolves de-
parted with the dawn and gave no
sign until evening. Then for a third
time Mahoney went without sleep.
The wolves, their hunger inereas-
ng, grew bolder, and crept closer
and closer. Every now and then one
would Jump forward and snap at tho
feet of the silent watcher. Then Ma-
honey, with a blazing brand, would
strike at the glowing eyes and drive
back his foe. When morning came,
the man, half-crazed with fear and
loss of sleep, once more took the
trail and at noon came to a road-
house, where he was cared for. He
slept steadily for eighteen hours, then
resumed his journey.
EVERY WALK IN LIFE.
A^ A. Boyce, a farmer, living thre#
and a half
miles from
Trenton,
Mo., says:
"A severej
cold settled
In my kid-
neys and de-!
veloped s of^l
quickly that
I was obliged -jay1
to lay off
work on ac-
count of tho
aching In my
back and sides. For a time I was un-
able to walk at all, and every make-
shift I tried and all the medicine I
took had not the slightest effect. My
back continued to grow weaker until
I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills,
ami I must say I was more than sur-
prised and gratified to notice the back-
ache disappearing gradually until It
finally stopped."

Love of Patriotism Instilled.
As an organization, the members of
the G. A. R. keep alive the interest In
national anniversaries, such as Me-
morial day, Flag day, etc. The pres-
ence of the veterans in the schools
on such occasions keeps before the
rising generations a love of country and
instils in their minds patriotism and
a love of the flag for which they gave
so much. A living history is more
inspiring at all times than a printed
one.
The Woman's Relief Corps, which
would not exist if there were no Grand
Army of the Republic, and which is
composed of loyal women, are proud
of the fact that they are enabled to
bring relief to the sick, disable l and
wornout veterans, and have a sha* e in
caring for the inmates of the soldiers'
homes.

Are Taking Part In Politics in Increas-
ing Numbers.
Dr. Woodrow Wilson, head of
Princeton university, in a recent ad-
dress advised young men to interest
themselves more in public affairs, on
the ground of duty, If no other. Their
education, he held, carries with it a
iesponsibilJty which the public has a
right to demand the young men shall
share with others who have not been
so fortunate In their mental training.
The point is a good one, and young
men all over the country are not slow
in availing themselves of opportuni-
ties offered. The number of young
nun, not only lawyers, but those in
business, who are taking an active
part in politics is Increasing. Tho In-
dependent in politics Is a greater
power to-day than ever and among
the independents are more young
men than ever before.—Baltimore

KING'S HORSES NEVER SOLD.
Chloroformed When Their Term of
Usefulness Expires.
Under no circumstances is any i
horse that has been employed in the
king's stables permitted when no
longer fit for the royal service to bo
sold, his Majesty having a strong
aversion to his horses being disposed
of in any way which would leave
their future treatment uncertain.
The rule is to have them killed on
the premises in the most merciful
manner possible, and in pursuance of
this regulation one of tho king's
horses was slaughtered in the royal
stables at Buckingham Palace on
Monday. A very powerful dose of
chloroform was administered to the
animal in a specially constructed
mash, and In a few minutes it died
without a struggle.—Reynolds' News-
paper.

Are the Packers Receiving Fair PlayT
When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers ap-
peared, after eight months' investiga-
tion, it was severely criticised and
roundly denounced. After three
months of publicity it is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
it have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public Is beginning to no-
tice this omission, and the feeling Is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the "Beef In-
vestigation" arose were without foun-
dation. If the official statements of
the report are susceptible of contra-
diction, a good many people are now
askiug why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A flagrant example
of this appeared 111 a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that "forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors In 1903-4 by the
Beef Trust's manipulation of cattle
prices." Chief Clerk Cox, of the bank*
Ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office, has tabulated the list of
banks given in tho magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state-
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail*
uro mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
speculations and by reckless banking
methods. It may bo well to suspend
Judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them aro proved,
rnrases used in Australia.
Here are a few Australian phrases:'
An inexperienced farm hand Is called
