Their ri-letlons wore purely pintftnlc. At least Hhe prided horself on that fact. When any one suitgestod to her the posHlMllty of nu attachment more ten­der and affectloiiHte. she poohpoohed It with nn emphasis Indicative of an absolutely sure state of mind. Sbe waa not like other (jli'l- , she sold. Several men Imd found that nut. They began by bclug friendly. Sho encouraged them perhaps In n certain liking that she had for masculine companlouship whloh they not Infrwiuently mlsundcr-BtiKMl. Then when tlic nltjht and the niooii and the soft breezes stirretl them tf) declarations fraught with more thua passing Intorest she was forced to more Ill-rule utterances. '• "Hear me," she would say. "1 don't nee why a mnn nnd a woman can't go on Ix'iiiK Just frleiiiU here In New •York, r.iih never ncteil this wny.

She was silting in the bow of the canoe trailing her lianils In the BtIU water and enjoying It all so much that It startled her when Hob's alinlesn conversathjii took another turn. H e did not sny much, but It wns nil so sudden, there wns such n depth of ten­derness In the tone, and It was so Ira-presslve that she save a sudden start. That did tbe trick. The canoe turmil turtle, nnd In an Instnnt they were both tloumlerlng In tbe water.

"Great t'lcsnr!" he shouted. "I didn't mean It. Can't you take a Joker'

l i e was clinging to one end of tho ca­noe, and she had found i^fcty hy throwing her arm over th^other c | id .^

"It wns too much of a shock." s b e a P Rwered. "rm surprised at yon. I lew dare yon! Oh, Hob. I'm so disappointed In you!'"* I "But. I tell you. I didn't mean It. The speech was: not gallant, and she may have resented It, but she only add­ed: I "Well, yon oughtn't to talk nonsense In a cauoe: It's apt to upset one."

"So I observe. Hut If you weren't so set up In your notions 1 might l>e

"Not to speak of a girl who dlfln't know enough to keep still." i

For answer she gave a kick thnt sent | the spray Into his eyes. Then she ^ shrieked With laughter. Uls arms were , beginning to get very tired, and It aud- I denly occurretl to him that she also might be fatigued.

"If you keep quiet a moment." he gald. "I'll swim around to you aud hold you up. That will rest you."

"I^shaw! Itcst yourself, i ' m all right."

He paid no attention to the Injunc­tion, and n few strikes brought him to her side. Thu tide was runulng strong, and they were drUtlug farther aud further from the shore.

"Just place one hand on me, if you dare," she shouted, "nud I'll let go thc cauoe. Then ai'e how quickly It'll be out of sight." The threat wns efrectlve. It was such n pretty cniio*-. und he hnd no desire to loeo It. So, commenting ou her stubbornness, ho wndillwl back and took hold of hts end ngain.

Then a sound of oars wus henrd, and soon two men In a boat were w ithin a few yards of them.

"Say, tliere," wns Rob's Inquiry. "whnt aro yoe two trying to do?"

"Hold on a little longer." came hack thc answer. "We'll have you safe In a minute."

"We're all right; don't trouble." snid thc girl.

"Keep olT!" shouted Hoi). "If yon come nuy clo.ser, you'll scratch the paint on my canoe."

"Whnt do you mean'/" Inquired one. "Do you menu to say tliat you care more for thecunoe than for—for"— He hesitnteil.

"Kor me!" she shouted. "Yes. tliat's It. l'"or a woman's only n woman, and a gootl cnuoe's n boat!"

After some parleying the boatmen consented to be careful. With tlieir as­sistance the canoe was righted, und the frlemls mude their way shoreward.

, pllalted In Thla Country—Frontlora-I man J im Moore'a Hard Ride.

' The grefttest pliysicnl achievement ever accompllBlied In this Country was the ride of V. X. Aubrey from the plazii of Santa Fc. N. M., to the rub­ric square at Intlepeuilenco, Mo., a dis­tnnce of nearly KfK) miles, through a jconiitry Inhabltoil by warlike Indlnns. n largo part of which wna then n san­dy ilosert. It was ahout the year '.I.S.-1I that Aubrey gave bis wonderful test of huinnn eiidurnnce, liefore which all other attempts of the kind pnlc 'into Inslgnlticnneo. He wns a short, henvy set man, 3« years of ngo. In the Itriine of mnnhood and strength. Mis busiuess for ten years ns n SaUta I'o trader had made hlin perfectly fa­miliar with the trail ami ail the stop­ping places. He was n perfect horse­man, nnd. although there were grent iriders In those days, noiio of them cared to dlsputo the palm, with Au­brey.

On a wager of $1,000 bo undertook to ride alone from Santa Ke to Inde-Iicmlence Inside of six days. It wns without a thought of fear thnt ho un­dertook the terrible feat. It was to be the supreme effort of Ills life, nnd he Rent halt Jl dozeii of the swiftest horses nheatl, to be stationed at dllTerent points for use In tho ride. Ho left Santa Ke In n sweeping gallop, and that was Ihe pace kept up tlurlng iieaj-ly every hour of the lime until lie fell fuiiUiiig from his foam covereil horse In the square at Iiidepiiiileme. No man could keep up with the rider, and h,. would have kilh'il every lior.se In tbo west rather tlian have falleil In the underlakiiig. It took him Just '> days and I'.l hours to perforin the feat, and It cost tho lives of several of Ills best hoi'.ses.

After being carried Into a room In the ohl hotel al Independence Anbt'i'y lay for l.'t hoiii'S in a iledil slnpor before he came Ui his .scii.ws. l i e would never have I'.-coveii'd from the sluick had It not been for his wonderful constitu­tion. The feat was unanimously re­garded by western men as the Kreatest e.xhlliillon of sl icnglh anil emlurance ever known on the iihlin.s.

The ride of .llm .Moore, a noted fron­tiersman of liie pioneer days, Is also worlhy of menlluii. Moore was a man of nlmost perfect physique. In fact, by military slaiiilards he w.'is a iiiotlcl. He weighed !*'<** poiimls. sliiiid .'» feet 10 Inches, stKllght as nn nrrow. wilh good neck well sel on his slioulders, small waist, but good hiliis, and had the limbs of a thoroi'glibreil.

It Is the only prehensile tolled nnlmnl In Ihe old world, a distinction which ap pears to have slruck uaturnllsts more than' the detachment of thc nnlmnl from all other forms.

P A Cblaeae Slrataseak ! Rajah Sunin, who wns one of the earliest rulers of India, overran the entire east with the exception of Chl-Tna, killed Innumoruble sultans with his own hnnd and married nil their daugh­ters. It Is said that when Uio (Chinese heard of his triumphant progress and learned tbat he had riiicheil their frontier they became muchVlarmcd. The emperor called a council of his generals and maudarins, and upon the advice of a crafty old mandarin tha following stratogcm was carried out:

A large ship was loaded with ruaty nails, trees were plantcil on tlio deck, tho vessel was manned by a numerous crew of old racu and dispatched to the rajah's capital. When U arrived—the most wonderful part of the story la thnt It did arrive—the rajah scat an officer to ask how long It had taken tha vessel to mako thc trip from China. The Chinamen answered that they had all boon young men when they set sail and that on the voyage they had plant­ed the seeds from which the great trees had grown. In corroboration of tholr story they iwlnted to the rusty nails which, they said, had been stout Iron bars as thick as a man's arm when they startwl. "You can see," they con­cluded, "that China must be a very long distance away."

The rajah was so much Impressed by these plausible arguments that ho concluded he would uot live long enough to reach China nnd abandoned his projected invasion.

a r l l l n c Peraoaal. The fnvorlte Scottish method of deal­

ing with 8kH>i»ers In chureh was pub­licly to denounce thc dellmiuents. The Cbiistlnn Leader tells this story:

When the Hev. Walter Punlnp. min-Istor of n Uniteil Presbyterian church In Dumfries, saw a memlier of hts flock nodding while he was preaching, ho Btoppeil suddenly and said:

"I doot Boino o' ye hae tacn ower moiiy whey iiorrldge the day. Sit up, or I'll name yo IMUI"

Anotlier Caledonian preacher, on like ppovoeMllon. erliil out. "Holil up jer heads, my friends, nnd mind that nei­ther snints nor sinners are sleeping In tho noxt world."

Then, flndlug that this general ex­hortation wns Insufficient to deter a Cerlnln well known member of the chureh from getting his night's rest forward, the reverend gentlemnn turn­ed toward the offender ond said:

"Jnmes Stewart, this Is the second time 1 have stopped to waken ye. If I need to stop n third time, I'll expose yo by name to the whole congregation."

A t that t ime the North part of the town held the most population, and the change from there to the southern part was one of the marked changes which he noted. Although well ahmg in years, Mr. Walker en­joys good health and has a good memorv, and his description of his early life, the mode of l iving, its church customs, piditical gatherings, musters and the like made his visit instructive as well as pleasant.

rfll, aud Mcllndy sho wouldn't never bev caught hlin of sho hadn't took airly Diornin walks 'bout the time he went over to Ills place of business and met hlui as ef by accident

I am told that he proposed by Tag-gart's barii and wus escepted lu front of tbe shoemaker's and gave Melliidy her engagciueut ring Jest tbls side of the blacksmith's.

Well, MIH. Wiggins she wus real sot up nbout It, nud she said that Melliidy should be dn-sBud up ns much as any bride there ever bad been In Punkln-vllle. ef not a -leetle better. But Mr. WlKKlus. Melindy's pa, he come of a close family, luid he wus n e w himself—^ 'twiiH Ills iiiittT to be—and when Melln-dy'H ma asUed hlni fur money to shop fur tbe thlURS he Jest buttoned up his pockets and Bald, "Naw." He oilers puiuoiinced no tliat wny when bo wuS Hot. "Niiw." sez be, "1 ain't tolled and iiiolli-il forty odd year fur to let my ijioiicy be spent like wnter. You kin make a list out of wbat Is wanted, and I'll Bit It." I

Well, when he spoke Up like that Mrs. WlnijInH HIIC knew 'twusn't no goml talklu. BO she said. "P'raps you alt rltflit. pa." and she wrote dowu some tliiuK.i and kinder winktil acrost to Mc­llndy. wlio wjiH bi'Klnning to cry at tlm Idea of lur pil. that didn't know callkef from bliiiiketH, n-cboosln her weddln clot lies.

'Ihe help snw all that and heered wlint wuB said and nat'rally told folks.

Well, that arternoon Mr. WigKin.i went to town to KCII Ills potatoes and Kot tlie liioiiey and come dowu on tliu bout ns usual.

'Ihe boat Uindlii is In quite n lonesome place, and be went home by n Bort of Bide piith anyways, and Just aliout duhk the Browns lieaid a howlln in the pic-nlir woods and, goln to see what It wus, tlicic'wuH old WiRgins tied to a tree.

Ue told 'em he'd been beset by rob tiers and that tlioy wus so Heree nnd fiirloiiH he'd lioen obliged to give 'em every ceut lie bad. l i e described "em as most oullaiidlKli critters, l i e said tlieir hair wus like cotton wool and their faces black. Their hats v.us tle<l Oil with big handkercliiefs. nnd tliey wus rpuH-r nnd slopy In the sinall of their backs. Their hands and feet wus Koi-t of small and skinny lookln. and tlicy had blue overalls and lluen dusters on. l i e said 'twusn't tbelr strength Ihat overcome him. but their beln so spooky and Buperuaturallike. And oue of 'em Bald in a holler voice, "Little you kuow who we be," and the other: "We'ix- lak­in your money because you dou't per-vido as you should fur solemn occa' Kions. Beware In futurel"

When be got home, he cried and said lie wished he'd giv Mrs. Wiggins the money fur Melindy's things, but she said it liapiiened fortunate that b^r sis­ter. Melindy's aunt, bad sent her a present fur her weddln.

The help now, she dou't tblnk them robbers wus superuat'ral, and she sez If ever Mr. Wiggins finds out tbe truth she duuno what WlH happen to Mrs. WIgglus. I kinder think myself that the robbers wus Mrs. Wiggins and Mellndy dressed up In some old clothes, with cottou batting wigs, and I dou't blame 'em.

Well, Mellndy had her clothes nfter all, but before they wus finished Mr. Wiggins he'd got over his skecr and got as mean as ever ngain, «nd he wouldn't give his onfortlnate wife noth­ln extry for the supper. She borrled The Tide Of Fashion from the Rabbits and found out tbat she'd orter hev chicken sallad.

But- Mr. Wiggins, he snld he wus scUin Ills chickens, not devourin ot 'cm hum, aud I suppose what ahe bad done before kinder weakened poor Mrs. Wig­gins' conscience, for, seein her own toops wus locked up. the poor soul went around to. the neighbors and stole one chicken apiece, from each of us. It wus kinder Just to do It that way when she might have took 'em all from one of us, and thoae of us that caught ber at It made up our minds not to aay nuthln, bnt Jest to pray fur her, and we'd s^nt over word that ef there wus anythin we could do to call on us. And per­baps she felt we'd be wlllln to spare the chickens, but wus proud about aak-lug fur 'em.

Well, slie got the things together BOinebow, and she cooked the chickens and mnde the sallad and borrled chany of most of ua and got up a real fuat rate supper and aot tbe ta.ble with flowers. They w:u» meetly marygolda abd old man, and some folks don't like the smell of neither, but the jraUer and green looked pretty, and It wua all ready for the company when they cum hum from church.

We thnt knowed things felt that we could see marks of Innard torture on poor Mrs. Wlgghia' facei and w e fett to sympatblae, fur she wua nat'rally a •moral woman and a pious one. and she'd been driven to sto by tho mean­ness of her pardner. You aee, ahe wus one of them women thnt llyee fur their children.'Ef she'd been a pelican, she'd hev took all the feathers out of her buazlm to make 'em beds, and she'd sackerficed herself fur Mellndy. She looked kinder better when she got to cbureb. but our minister be wus young and hadn't married nobody before, and, beln narrous, be commencsd fur to

I and feelln sure It wus arsenic, Mrs. I Wiggins appeared amongst us. ' "Friends and feller sinners," she said,

"wc air all on the p'lnt of death, and here, before you all, I make confes-

I sion. I am a thief and a robber, and I sliall never be pardoned. It wus me that robbed my husband, and. more than that. 1 stole the chickens to mnke the salisd—one of 'em from each of my g<K)d friends and neighbors. Jedgments has fallen!"

•You wus drlv to It, Mra. Wiggins." sea I, "by your pardner'a meanness. Wc all knowed It, and none of us blame you."

"You don't know all," said Mrs. Wig­gins. "More'n that, I went to the store ond tuk my chances and stole a bottle of lie. The recipe snld to make the sal­lad dresBln with lie. I'd never made none. 1 stole tbe bottle. Oh. I shan't never be forgiven, I shan't never be for­given! I tuk a bottle of pi'son of some sort, fur It wus in the drug department where lies is kept, and I'm n mur­derer!"

"Oil. ho!" says thc doctor. "Bring nii> the bottle. Mrs. WIKRIHS. and I giicss I'll flnd ont how to cure 'em."

Mrs. Wiggins fetched It; doctor he ta.stt>d it.

••This nln't p'lson, ladles," sez he. "Tlurc ain't no great harm done, only I don'l sii|ii«>se the recipe nientioiii'd cas­tor oil for sallad dressing. 'Tisn't usual anyhow. Noboily la goln to die this tliui'. Mrs. Wiggins, unless ll Is you yourself. You lie down and quiel your­self."

Poor Mrs. Wiggins, she dropped on her knees and prayed right there fur tliaiikfiiliiess. and we all J'ined In. and as tiooii n.s folks knowwl they badiiM tuk artienlc they all got better. Mrs. WIKKIIIH' Boleiiin Tind distracted looks and her not entln'.any had made Ihem that worn't In tlie secret think that shed gone crazy and done It a-purpose, which scared 'em more.

Impressed diamond purchaser Is, 'It actually looks as If It glows of Itself.' Now, It la not generally known that such Is nctually tV-e cose, although not, of course. In the way the public In­tends. Thc beauty of the gem In light Is, of course, In Its remarkable jjefract-Ive power, but under certain coulltlons thc diamond haa more, for It may gleam even In the night with a pale bnt extremely beautiful light. ' In short. It becomes 'phosphorescent. Heated to a certain temperature the Internal Are shows Itself, and under pressure thc same Is true.

".Some years ago I went to Amster­dam to purchase some special stones for a California millionaire who had ordered them through our New York house, and while there 1 was shown the Inside workings of the famous dia­mond cutting establishments of that cHy. Of nil that I saw, however, the •self flume' of tho stones under pres­sure most surprised me. The manager placed a lorge rose cut gem between tho Jaws of a vise and carefully oi»-plled a certain amount of pressure. He then extinguished all the light In tho shop, and as soon as my eyes had be­come nccustonifd to the darkness I saw the diamond emitting a soft radi­ance of Its own like a very pale glow­worm. As I remember If, he sold that the yellower diamonds were slightly more phosphorescent thnn the flrst wnter stones.

"By the way, you would be really as­tonished to know the number of Jewels which also possess 'self flame' to a more or less extent, nud I have often wondered If the alchemists who per­formed such apimrently well nuthentl-cateil wonders hi the middle ages did not know somethiug of phosphores­cence and Its oddltles."-New ,Orlean8 Tiroes-Demo(!rnt.

There Is prolinbly uo abuse wlilch the long sufferliig wholeKale market bus had perpetrated upon i t to such an ex­tent as that for which the discount fleiid Is responsible. Many apparently reputable merchants who would scorn the idea of dishonesty are at the same HIP » often guilty of taking an extra '20 days' discount on bills which hnve passed their maturity. But this Is not all. Occasionally a case comes to light where thc discount fiend goes so far ns to deduct 10 per cent from a 7-10 bill, and If the flrm (n question sees flt to return his check and nsic for o full set­tlement the goods are shipped back und the wholesaler told to whistle for to-dress.—Bookkeeper.

Eyes are very treacherous, and those who iiieddlt! Ill aiuuroua matters should know all about them.

When the upper lid covers hnlf or more of the pupil, tha ludieatlon Is of cool deliberation. Au eye the upper lid of which passes horizontally across the pupil Indicates mental ability. Un­steady eyes, rapidly Jerking from side to Bide, are fivqiiently liidlcatlve of an unsettled mind. It Is said that the prevailing color of eyes among the |)a-tleuts of lunatic a.sylnms ure brown anil black. Byes of any color with weak brows aiul long, concave lashes are Indicative of a weak coustitution. Eyes that nre wide apart are said to Indicate great Intelligence and n tena­cious memory. Byes of which the whole Iris la visible belong to erratic persons, even with a tendency toward Insanity. Wide open, staring eyes In weak countenances Indicate jealousy, bigotry, Inlolernuce and pertinacity without firmness.
