Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

At last Anna wns ready to read
her letter. She sank down before the
tiny blaze of her open fire and un-
sealed It with deliberation, commenc-
ing slowly and gradually reading fast-
er and faster until she finished tt In
almost feverish haste, whereupon eha
began at the beginning again and read
It over carefully, dwelling in particu-
lar on one paragraph;

She climbed the five flights of
stairs wearily and panted as she drew
the big key to her little room from
her pocket. It was rather difficult to
hold two rolls and a letter in one hand
while she unlocked the cumbrous door
with the other. She was always tired
after her day's work in the “atelier,"
and tonight she seemed to be more so
than usual, but her supper and the
letter would revive her. The precious
letter! It was late—perhaps the
stormy weather had belated the mail
steamers.
The concierge had smiled quite hu-
manly when she gave it to her. The
concierge had a heart after all hidden
underneath her stern manner and
somewhat soiled neckerchief. Anne
had wondered before if she had any
softness about her; she was always so
grim and forbidding even In her hab-
itual politeness. Now she knew she
had, for she had smiled with actual
gentleness when she gave Anne the
letter, and poor, lonely little Anne
could have kissed her hands in grati-
tude.
The little room was Icy cold and
Anne put the letter on the mantel,
where she could look at it while she
built her fire and prepared her tea—
plain tea. At first she had had sugar
and milk in her tea; then she found
that a thin slice of lemon was much
nicer and cheaper. After while she
discovered that sugar was a useless
luxury, and she had finally come to the
conclusion that tea was more strength-
ening without the lemon.
The letter was In a blue envelope,
a dear blue envelope, and the writing
was firm and showed strength of char-
acter. Anne smiled at the French ad-
dress. She knew that ‘‘Madamoiselle’’
was used for her amusement, so, of
course, she was amused. The letter re-
ally seemed to smile back at her from
the mantel, and she crossed the room
to lightly kiss the envelope his lips
had sealed. Her pale cheeks filled
with color for an instant, and she
turned shyly back to the little fire
where a copper tea kettle had begun
brick, tile, terra cotta work, drain tile.

She kissed tbe envelope,
to boll with a semblance of cheerful-
ness.
She ate her butterless rolls slowly
and sipped her tea deliberately. This
was Anne's way. to be childishly Im-
patient for her letter, and then when
It came to save It and hoard it, put-
ting off the great pleasure of reading
It in order to prolong the delight. The
arrival of those missives from over
the sea had marked the red letter days
In all the months she had lived in her
little room In Rue Servandonl. In
the summer time she had usually
taken tke letter into the Jardln du
Luxembourg and read tt over and over
again there In tbe soft twilight. No
one in the garden ever spoke to Anne
or disturbed her. Perhaps because her
clothes were too shabby and unat-
tractive. or, more probably, because
there was a nun-like steadiness in the
gaze of her deep gray eyes that dis- ,
armed the heediese students who are
wont to teeae unattended girls. For
even the American girl, the most fraa
** all creature*, cornea in for her share
"Edwin Brown?” repeated Anne,
shone more brightly upon us. If the
thought of me interferes with your art
or arrests your study in any way put
me from your miud. I can't bear to
feel that I should be a hindrance or
a drag to you-” Here Anne
stopped reading because she could no
longer discern the written words
through the mist of tears that had
gathered over her eyes. She felt blind-
ly about for a handkerchief to bravely
dab them away, that she might go on
with the letter, which continued in the
tenderest phrases to assure her of his
constant, unfailing love. She knew
that he was sincere; that her welfare
was all that actuated the letter.
“How like him.” she murmured.
"No other man but Edwin could write
a love letter like that, and I hope he
never will again; I could not stand
it.”
When at last she fell asleep, the
letter w'as clasped in her hands, which
lay folded on the steamer rug, an ad-
dition to the scanty bedding on her
cot, and her breath came in quick
gaspB, like the sobs of a little child.
The "atelier” was crowded when
she went to her work in the wet clay
the next morning, and she hoped to
gain her own corner without attract-
ing attention. But her pale cheeks
did not escape the notice of the tall
American who was perpetrating a sad
ly misshapen figure near her own
well blocked out wrork.
Are you not well. Miss Weber?” he
asked, with a note in his voice of
deeper feeling than the occasion
seemed to demand.
Quite well, thank you,” Anne re-
plied wearily, and the young man
looked at her reproachfully. He want-
ed to tell her that she was doing al
together wrong, abusing her health,
wasting her strength, and. worst of
all, breaking his heart, but experience
had taught him that It was not a safe
ground of conversation.
It was the day on which the master,
the great Parisian sculptor, was ex
pected to criticize, and Anne applied
herself assiduously to her clay, which,
under her deft fingers, rapidly grew
more and more like the model.
“I am through with this,” said the
young man at length. "1 have tested
my artistic ability and found that I
can't even mold a snow man.” He
scornfully chopped off the nose of his
clay figure, which only added another
deformity to the already maimed-look-
Ing creature.
"My old man always said that art
was not In our blood, but I wanted to
see for myself, and it didn't take me
long. Don’t think I have not realized
how Impossible my work Is. but I
have Btayed In the atelier—you know
why—and I'll stay yet if you will give
me any hope,” he added eagerly.
"No, don't stay." Anne replied, soft-
ly. He was such a dear boy she could
not be anything but gentle to him.
"Well, then." he said, disconsolate-
ly, "I’ll throw art over and go Into
the string business with Dad, as he
has always wanted me to do.”
"That will be better, I am sure,”
sa(d Anne, smiling at the mutilated
torso, for the young man had been
carelessly hacking it while he talked.
"The old man is certainly dead anx-
I lous for the prodigal's return, for I
got a flfty-dollar cablegram from him
; this morning, asking me to pull up
stakes and go at once. The dear old
I chap wants a junior partner, now bus-
iness looks so hrlght. He has Just
won a tremendous lawsuit against a
trust: some daring young lawyer car-
ried the thing through, and Dad Is
crazy over him. He wrote me some
time ago that If the suit was won he
intended to retain the chap as per-
manent counsel for the company. It
will be the making of Edwin Bowen,
whoever he Is!”
“Edwin BoWen?” repeated Anne,
questioning!)'.
"Yes, Edwin Bowen. My old man
even put his name in the cable, say-
ing tbe suit was won.”
"Edwin Bowen!" Anne said again.
"Why. do you know him?”
"Yes, very well, indeed.” she an-
swered. and then she fell In a little
heap on the damp atelier floor, and
the students who rushed to aid the
young man in bringing her out of the
faint, spoke together of the gerlous
consequences «f overwork, and they
all determined to be more moderate
than ever.
As soon as she felt strong enough
to walk she started back to her room
In Rue Servandoni, and the condarge
met her nt the door of the tall, top-
pling house with a look of alarm, for
aba knew that cablegrams were seri-
ous things, and she had one for the
pale little American madamoiselle.
Anne's fingers trembled as she tore It
open, and her heart bounded as she
read:
"Darkest before dawn—success—I
am coming, my love!”
"Nine words beside the address, and
no code used,” said Anne, vaguely.
“It must have cost twice as much as
a whole week's living,” and she
laughed a little hysterically, as she
quickly mounted the long, narrow
stairs, for her light heart had given
wings to her feet
WIFE OP JAMES J. HILL.
Waitress la Hotel When Future Million*
•Ire First Met Her.
It la stated that James J. Hill, the
railroad magnate, Is one of the hap-
piest millionaires in the world In his
family circle. This Is owing, of courae,
to hla devoted, beautiful and talented
wife, and there Is a tinge of romance
In their marriage. When Hill began
his businoss career In St. Paul In a
coal and wood carrying enterprise, he
lived at a house called the Merchants'
Hotel. One of the waitresses was
Mary Moliigan. She was Irish, Catho-
lic and beautiful. Hill is Irish and a
Presbyterian. Some say that the pret-
ty waitress was scrubbing the front
steps of the hotel when Hill first saw
her. However this may be, he was
attracted to the girl. One day she left
the dining room and became a student
In a convent school. She had a bril-
liant, acquisitive mind. When she left
the school she was an accomplished
woman, able to hold her own in society
with the best. Then she and Hill were
married. The young people began
housekeeping modestly at first As
Hill's ideas materialized, the style of
living broadened to suit. Today Mary
Mehigan is mistress of what George
W. Childs called the first private resi-
dence in America. It is on St. An-
thony's Hill, St. Paul, and overlooks
the river. It Is so large that for the
servants’ use alone there are seventeen
bath-rooms. Connected with it is the
most superb private art gallery in the
United States, which is freely acces-
sible to visitors. Mrs. Hill reared her
family of nine children in her own
faith, her husband. Presbyterian still,
not objecting. Neither politics nor
religion mars the harmony of that
home where love rules.
Optimistic Views Hold the Balance

WHEAT EXPORTS SHOW GAINS.
A Million Dollar* a Week.
One-half of the world’s production of
coffee berries Is brought to the United
States. Last year it was more than
800,000,000 pounds for the whole coun-
try, or more than 10>4 pounds a head
of the population. Germany and France
together oniy consumed half as much
coffee, Germany less than 3% pounds
a head and France only 414 pounds per
capita. Groat Britain used little more
than half a pound of the berries per
head of the population, but over there
they made up for it by drinking more
tea than any other nation. More than
$1,000,000 is sent out of tbe United
States every week in payment for cof-
fee. South and Central American
countries, which supply more than 600,-
000,000 pounrls of coffee a year, get
most of the money. Porto Rico, Java,
and the Philippines get almost all the
rest, but a little goes to Hawaii, where
they produce a very superior brand of
coffee berry. Last year the total value
of the coffee imported into the United
States was about $60,000,000, and that
was less than for several years, be-
cause the import J>rice of coffee has
fallen about one-half.
€n«xp1oreil Lands Near Philadelphia.
There are parts of New Jersey within
a very short distance of Philadelphia,
too, which, strange as it may seem,
are but little more known today than
they were 200 years ago. In fact, there
are portions of the "Pine Barrens"
which have never kuown the tread of
a white man. It Is this wilderness
that a party of naturalists—Mr. Stone
as chief and Messrs. Rehn and Cog-
gins as assistants, are starting out to
explore. Starting front Medford they
make a circuitous route, camping as
best they can for seven nights, and
returning to Medford with their col-
lections. In a certain sense of the
word, this expedition is only prelim-
inary to others of a more extended na-
ture which may follow. Work In this
region must be done by small parties
returning frequently to some base of
supplies, as food is nearly unobtain-
able and transportation of heavy loads
of specimens Impossible. The expe-
dition will make observation upon the
soil and water supply and collect all
manner of plants and animals, which
will be turned over to eminent special-
ists for identification.
New York, July 22.—R. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says;
Anxiety regarding unfavorable pos-
sibilities in the future, rather than any
actual present misfortune, depressed
securities and caused cancelation of
some orders for merchandise by Wes
tern dealers. Retail distribution of
goods will not be curtailed by the la'
bor controversy unless it is of long
duration as the men have saved money
during the recent period of full em-
ployment at high wages. Similarly,
in some agricultural districts, where
there is fear that little corn will be
harvested, preceding bumper crops at
good prices have put farmers in such
prosperous condition that their pur-
chases will not fall oil materially,
while the greatest crop of wheat on re-
cord has not brought a return to the
low prices of previous heavy yields.
Beyond advancing prices of steel
sheets and depressing the market for
tin, quotations have not been affected
by the strike of the Amalgamated As-
sociation. An early settlement is con-
fidently expected, and there is much
relief over the genera! collapse of the
machinists' striko. In anthracite coal
regions work has also been interrupted,
but the recent exceptionally heavy out-
put assures abundant stocks for seme
time.
In woolens the tone is distinctly firm.
In cotton goods the situation is un-
changed.
Stability of prices seems assured in
the footwear industry. The firm tone
is sustained by the steadiness of leath-
Or, and buyers are not seeking conces-
sions. Factories are running full time.
Limited supplies of leather make the
market very firm. Hides are fairly
active and steady.
Calmer counsel prevailed in the grain
markets, exaggerated dispatches were
discounted and variations in quotations
were less extensive. After a severo
break from the best price last Friday
wheat steadily advanced, as the feel-
ing became general that foreign re-
quirements would bring a new record
for exports, possibly exceeding 250,-
000,000 bushels. Atlantic exports show
a large gain over Inst year's figures for
the week amounting to 3.062,775 bush-
els. against 1,841,801 a year ago. After
some reaction corn recovered most of
tbe loss,
Peimlon Elgmrcfl.
Washington, July 23.—Reports from
all the pension, agents have been com-
piled with this result:
The appropriation for the two years
ending June 30 was the same. $144,000,-
000 for each year. The expenditure
for 1901 was 5138.5.11,494, an excess over
1900 of 809,354.
During the year the pension roll was
increased to the extent of 4,305 names
making a total of 997,834. The deaths
among pensioners numbered 38,082 in
1901, or 2,275 more than in 1900.
The record shows that for the year
45,710 claims were filed on account of
the Spanish-American war. Of these
7,086 were allowed and 7,091 were ad-
judicated and rejected.
Catholics and Free Thinkers.
Saragosa, Spain, July 23.—As a re-
sult of the encounters here during sev-
eral days between Catholics and Free
Thinkers, the majority of the clergy
have lied from the city, some going to
neighboring villages, while others hava
left the province. The convents and
most of the churches of Saragosa arc
closed and barred.

The two most expensive departments
In the New York city government are
those of education and police. The de-
partment of education costs neurly
$19,000,000 a year and the department
of police nearly $12,000,000. But there
are 11,700 employes of the department
of education and 7,710 of the depart-
ment of police, and thus per man It

Courti’iiv of Hr. Pairklitirmt.
The well known Rev. Charles II.
Farkhurst of New York, makes a point
of being very courteous to newspaper
men and is always wiiling to be in-
terviewed. He sets aside one hour
each day to be at home to callers in
general; but to newspaper men he Is
nt home at nearly all times—except on
Saturday night. That night he devotes
to final preparation and thought for
his work of the next morning, and hia
rule has been never to be at home after
six o'clock on Saturday evening.

Obi Begs from China** StatMnu,
Moy Kee, a Chinese restaurateur of
Indianapolis, Ind., received a royal
gift a few days ago in the form of
100 eggs that had readied the remark-
able age of 100 years. They were still
good, In fact, according to the Chinese
view, better than they were the day
they were laid. They had been cured
by some process known only to the
cooks of China, who cater to the man-
darins and the higher classes exclu-
sively. They had not been cooked,
nor had the shell been broken. The
eggs came from no less a personage
that Li Hung Chang, and the enclosed
card, a bit of queer paper, half a
foot long, expressed to Moy Kee the
compliments of the Chinese statesman
and wished the son of the Flowery
empire a long and happy Journey
through life.
