from him, and after waiting a moment for
a word or a smile from its owner in vain
his face clouded slightly and he passed
quickly out of the breakfast room.
As the sound of his step died away one
dismally wet blue eye appemd furtively
above a scrap of linen cambric crumpled
into a limp wad, by two bahyish. dimpled
hands; then the other eye came out. until
finally the whole disheveled head was held’
defiantly erect.
The general storminess of the domestic
atmosphere seemed to have crept even
Into Bob's saucy yellow bangs. which
finfied and crisped in unexpected kinks
about the pretty low brow and white tem-
ples, as the silky fuzz about a baby’s head
is wont to disport itself. A breeze came
in just then through the open window,
thrown up to let in the premature balmi-
ness of the sunny March morning. and
blew some of the loose locks Intrusively
about her blue eyes. Up flew the dimpled
hand to push them aside. as a very cross
young voice cried: f'I don't care! l—do
—not carol", with emphasis. “If I cannot
have 'a new bonnet I won't go with Jack
and his sister, whom I never saw. I
think Ernest is perfectly mean, so there!
As if I wasn't of as much importance as
the nasty, bloody meat that he eats. bah!

what “Mme. Vaurier has ’that will suit
me. Then I can tell Ernest how much it

Foolish . little Barbara flew about the
dainty nest which the dear elder brother
had sheltered her in through all their
- orphaned years, giving an approving nod
at her trim tailor made gown of brown as
she passed the long mirror oiLher _way_ out
to interview Mme. Vaurier about the
much desired bonnet.

"Just the thing for you. It came last
night. Lizette, bring the odd blue affair
for Mlle. Nixon." Truly, was it not “just
the thing?" And oh! how blue-her eyes
d how sunny her. hair shone under the
gquisitely pretty structure which
madame nestled with assured touches
fipon her head. She really never knew how
the matter came about. Perhaps madame
talked too volubly to hear her objections
or mark her hesitation. “It made no
difference at all,” she assured Barbara.
“whether the bonnet was paid for
now or in two months.” She “could not
sell It to any one else without being dis-
satisfied,»having seen it above mademoi-
selle's golden hair.” The bill would "be
in the box to be paid when her brother
pleased." and so little Barbara went out
sure‘that her bonnet was above criticism.
but not quite so sure that her manage-
ment of the matter would bear as satis-
factory inspection when she told Ernest. .
As she ran do’wn Mme. Vaurier's broad
stone steps, a hat was lifted by some one
who stood by an open coupe in front. It
was Jack Spelling, who shot a glance of
approval after herfrom his dark eyes as
he passed up the steps with his sister.
"Now to tell Ernest," thought Bab, as
she laid aside.her wraps and prepared to
greet her brother's return with a dinner
of his especial viands, that should make
him as wax In her hands.
The dinner hour came. and Barbara.
fresh as a rose in her soft wool gown, was
ready to “ ’fess up" and be forgiven. But
when, after waiting a long thirty minutes
beyond the time. a messenger came in-
stead with a hurried note: "Oil for Phil.
adelphia. Send ‘my traps after me. care
Wales Bros, 1244 Chestnut street. Will
write," her heart sank. Now, what was to
be done? Clearly there was nothing ex-
cept to write and tell him all about it.
So the next day Ernest's" bag was packed
and forwarded. and a penitent letter went
by the first mail to Philadelphia. '
Day after day went by and no letter
came in reply. No word from Ernest of
any kind. as though to emphasize his dis-
pleasure. Aunt Valerie, who was always
ready in an emergency. came to stay with
her. and then the great storm shut down
all communication from other cities, and
poor. miserable little Bab was left to
imagine all possible and impossible calam-
ities as having befallen her brother. Some
delay in sending home the bonnet had
been requested by Barbara. who was a
little more uncertain as to what Ernest’s
rigid sense of justice would prompt him
to do. and then the storm further delayed
the delivery of the tell tale box.
But finally It came, and Bab locked her-
self iuto her room to open It with a
“dreadfully gone feeling," as she after-
ward described it. She took off the soft
layer of white paper, out of which fell the
bill She lifted it mechanically. "Fif
teen dollars" were the figures she had}
seen on the box when madame took It
out. and Ernest had said he had not
”ten." “Oh. what awicked. semen. vain
—— Oh. my goo-oodnessl" she ended
with a gasp. Yes, there It was. In good
round figures—$25:

25! 25! 20! 20! 25! 251 25! They
danced crazlly before her eyes as she sank
in a dazed little heap on the door. What
would Ernest say? She was but 17,
and It never occurred to her unbusi
nesslike ideas that Mme. Vaurier was
taking advantage of her. and that she
could send the bonnet back. Aunt Valerie
had money. but Ernest had forbidden her
ever to borrow a penny of Aunt Valerleon
pain of his deepest disapproval. He was
so proud and honest. that manly brother,
and she. "little selfish thing." had dared
to call him "mean." "He was worth a
hundred Jack Snelllngs, so there.’
That very evening Jack called with his
sister. who was very kind and cordial In
her gentle, reserved way, and the invita-
tions for Easter day were resumed with
some well bred insistence. upon learning
that her brother was absent and Aunt
Valerie was to join them. But there was
good “stuff" In Bab’s sturdy little body
after all. and even while her eyes took in
the.quiet elegance of Miss Mildred Snell-
lng’s attire, ‘she was coming to a Spartan
resolution. She‘wouid go, but she would
lat wear an unpaid for bonnet. some,
how. shla felt better after that, and when
atelegram arrived before Easter saying
that Ernest would return the next Mon-
day, she was quite ready with a smiling
welcome to greet the unexpected 7' an-
nouncement of—Mr. Spelling. Something,
Jack had to say kept him in' such a for-
meat that he could not wait; so he had
calledto "put it to the test and win or
lose." But somehow matters did not pro-
grese just as Jack had anticipated. For
when he had told herin his most manly
way how dear she
that he wanted her 'to promise. Bab
slinply buried her blue eyes in two
dimpled little hands and sobbed. "You
wouldn’t! Oh. you wouldn't, if you knew
what. what p. ho-orrld little wretch I am!"
And then the ice once broken for .the rev-
e‘lation, she told Jack all the miserable
tale. Whengha'got‘through she waited

keeper has mixed the bills and sent them
to the wrong brothers; that is all. My
sister’s bill is probably awaiting your
brother's return at his office. Suppose
you let the matter go, as it will be, I hope,
butnshort time till I- may pay all your
«bills unquestioned. That is for you to
say.”
It was answered satisfactorily. no doubt,
for a very rosy little Bab gathered herself
resolutely together a half hour later and
insisted upon taking the bill Into the
library. where it should meet her brother's
eye' the first thing upon his return. A lit
ftle later she stood In her clinging. pale
blue‘ dress, leaning against the deep maroon
h of the archway. Her dark
lashes. in startling contrast with her ye!
low hair, almost rested on her cheeks, a
trifle pale now. as she realized the serious
and sacred sieetness of the new tie.
“It Is kind of you. Jack. to wish to
shield me from mortification at my own
folly. but 'I canflotwear it until Ernest
has forgiven me. and he Is the only one
yet” (with .a shy little emphasis) “who
has a right to buy my bonnets! I will not
wear it tomorrow."

"You may as well hand me my sister’s

Jack. laughing. '
And the next day two new'bonnets met
upon the heads of their fair owners, with
such damage to the heart of Ernest Nixon
that when he told Jack and Bab. later, of
his successful business venture in Phila-
delphia. he also added that before next
Easter he proposed that they should ex-
change their sisters' bonnet bills perms

accepted—Hartford Times. . ~
Not an Utter Failure.
There is alwaysppleasure in accumu
~Iate'd power, but few pause to consider
that it is onlyto be had through vigorous
exertion. In one respect this sort of
recempenseis unique. for it may come
not only with success. but with much
that is called failure. A man may find
. his hopes disappointing him one by one;
he loses a position he supposed to be so-
cure, or his business does not succeed.
perhaps his work. too, appears inefiect-
ual. and his efioris seem lost. Yet even
in all this crushing adversity, although
he has failed In all he has tried to do. he
may have succeeded in doing something
else of which he had not thought. but
which may be more important and endur
ing that that which ho attempted to ac-
complish. If he has really tried hard and
honestly he has gained wisdom and power
aud’experlence and caution. which will
stand him in good stead in future exer
.tions. This is a consolation seldom of
fen-ed In times of trouble. yet It Is a real
one There Is no such thing asutter fail
are to one who has done his best.-Phila

Is in many semi-tropical countries, for
when the warm weather is fairly begun

The Villages of Cuba.
Cuban villages or pneblos haveralways
interested me deeply. They are of little
Importance as we measure things. There
Is nothing about them in architecture or
human activities to make them worthy of
account. They are seldom populous and
are never busy. In them and between
them, enterprise, rivalry, aspiration, are
unknown. But on this great earth are
not other spots so full of simplicity and
effortless rest.
There are just enough people in them
to make human presence an agreeable
consciousness. There is never any labor
done in any way that tires. Nobody
hurries. There is no fretting or fuming
about anything. No one is supposed to
be in haste. Nor could any such notion
ever come to surprise and annoy the
mind. Every animate or inanimate ob-
ject seems at rest. If you desire to set
a Cuban'village in an uproar of indignant
wonderment, you have only to hint of do-
ing, or of desiring something done quick-

have tried to obtain from those who know
the Princess of Wales Well the ~secret. of p
her great popularity. 'She is not a brilliant
woman. she has .never written anything.
and in conversation she never impresses
any one with the iidea of her having any
particular originality or striking force of
character. In ordinary society, without
the advantage of her position. she would
make but little impression. She Is ex-
cessively‘ladylike and refin'ed. She has a
most marvelous beauty. which chiefly
consists in regular features, a fair com-
plexion and a perfectly Serene and placid
expression.
The most remarkable feature of her
good looks is the preservation of ‘ her
youthful appearance. In the broad glare
of daylight shelooks today as young if
not younger than her eldest daughter.
Her figure is also slim and slight as that
of a young girl. She dresses with ex-
quisite taste and appears to enjoy general
society very much. The secret of her
popular charm is.said to be this: She has
the rare and gracious faculty of Impress-
!ng people who come in contact with her

tion or a levee with her genuine cordiality.
People who have been presented to her
and who have simply seen her bow and

dozen words 'of oomnionplace greeting.
are the ones whoare the most wildlyen-
thusiastic over her. Her hearing before
the public constitutes her chief charm.
Every one is led to believe that she is the
most gracious and winning personage in
the kingdom. It is this outward sugges-
tion upon the pint of the Princess of
Wales of brilliant graciousness that has
captivated and thoroughly charmed the
British public. Those who know her best
say that a. more Intimate acquaintance
with her does not bear out the public
estimate. She is thoroughly refined. ac—
complished and self possessed. but Is not
interesting in a general cenversation.
While I was on the continent last
month l‘heard a number of interesting
stories concerning the early life of the
Princess of Wales. These stories are not
particularly new, and I do not propose to
allude to them except to give the exact
Income of her father before he was, called
to the throne of Denmark. This prince
livedinthe most obscure poverty for a
number of years. He had an income of
exactly $1,200 a year. There, were five
children to be supported and educated
from this beggarly sum. The young
ladies of this household learned to cook.
to sew and to do all kinds of housework.
They were obliged to make their own
dresses-for many years No members of
any family so obscur‘ely placed have risen
to more brilliant positions than this
Danish family. The head of the family
became the king of Denmark. ' His oldest
son Is, of course, the crown prince of that
country Another son is the king of
Greece. His three daughters are the

and the Duchess of Cumberland—T. C.

Selling Souvenirs of Sedan.
A camp following "tourist" found
himself caught in the railway-station at
Sedan during the engagement. Of course
he could not go out except at the risk of
his life. So be amused himself within
the innermost doors of the office. "Look
here," he said to a friend afterward, open~
ing a small bag full of railway tickets.
~ "I've got some souvenirs of Sedan.”
They were all marked "Sedan, September
1," and indicated an immense number of
quite impossible journeys, such as that to
Metz. as having been made on that day.
While the storm was raging around, he
had stamped all the tickets he could lay
hands on with the date of the battle till
the ink gave out. “These will be curiosi-
ties.” said be, adding, "and I've got
money out of the pocket of a dead soldier;
they say it's lucky. " He showed some
silver of which he had robbed a corpse.—

A Paper Collar That Cost $125.
"Ono’s wants are one’s needs,” has been
said. but paper collars at $125 each are
not now regarded as necessities. Still
that amount has been paid for one of these
almost obsolete articles of male attire,
and Maj. D. W. Sanders enjoys the repu-
tation of having broken the record by his
purchase. It was during the war. and
Maj. Sanders, then an officer In the Con-
federate army, was in Tennessee. He re
ceived a month's pay, $150, in Confeder~
ate bills. and then discovered that he
needed a clean collar. He found a man
who had a spare collar and began negotia-
tions, but the happy possessor of the an
ticle did not want to part with It. After
some trouble, however. be persuaded the
owner to sell, but only when $125 had
been offered. It is diflicult. however, to
estimate what the cost of acleau shirt
would have been about that time, even
when the quotations of paper collars are
giveu.—Courier-Journal.

none of us ought to sacrifice a whole

lite duty of being bored to death by people
whose woes we cannot help. whose affairs
do not interest us, and between us and
whom there Is not a strong bond of friend-
ship or common interest. And I believe

ing blind" for any considerable period
would be justified, in politely. and with
his most fascinating manner. calling my

“farm Walls Repel Dust.
Heated bodies repel minute particles of
dust. the repulsion operating alike in the
open air and confined spaces Assuming
the correctness of this view, it follows
that if the floor. walls and ceiling of a
room be warmer than the contained air.
the dust will be repelled from the walls to
the air, and the reverse of these conditions
of temperature will bring about the oppo~
site result. According to this view, those
methods of warming rooms should be
adopted which best the air instead of the
solid objects, thus excluding open fires;—
