HAD been poring over a fourteenth II century manuscript In tho window wBcnt, behind tho library curtains. Tho twilight nnd tho end of the faint. crabbed writing enmo together, nnd then I supposed I fell asleep. I woke at the sound of Vera Rutherford's voice. "The oddest thing about It Is that I don't really disllko him nt nlL" "You will tell ruo next that ho doesn't really dislike you," said Maud Leslie, with an unbelieving laugh. "I am nfrald," said Vera, "there Is no doubt about that." I could have point ed out grave doubts'; but I wasn't more than half-awake. Besides I couldn't be quite sure that they referred to me." "Did you say 'afraid,' Ve?" "You needn't quibble over my words," she answered, Impatiently. There was a pause. "Dear old Vc!" said Maud, In n mo ment. Here again I ought to have pre tended that I had just woke up, and announced myself. "1 hate him," Vera observed. Incon sistently. "So," said Maud heartily, "do II" I could not well proclaim my presence after these remarks. "At least I think I do." "I am sure I do," said Maud, posi tively. "1 consider him horrible." "Oh, Maud; you know he isn't." "He must be, or ho wouldn't bo so rude to you." "I I provoke him, you see." "That is no excuse at all. Look nt the way he contradicted you about those Tuscan vases, or whatever you call them." "1 contradicted him first." "Why shouldn't you?" "Because he was right" "Which made It all the "more annoy ing." "Yes," said Vera, with a sigh, I wished 1 had let her have her own way." "He Is a great deal too 'superior,' " stated Maud. I felt myself blushing." "He really knows a great deal," sug gested Vera, timidly. I mado up my mind not to quarrel with her nny more. "A lot of antiquated rubbish of no use to any one," scoffed Maud. I could feel thnt she was tossing her head. "Jack calls him the 'lumber-rooml' " Jack Is a young ass!" "I don't agree," said Vera, hotly, "Jack Is " "No, he lsu't!" He's very nearly en gaged to Maud." "A charming and Intelligent fellow, I Tvns going to say." "Nasty little story-teller!" 1 thought they were going to quarrel, but they didn't "Well, I'll admit the learning of your Mr. Norton," said Maud, when they had done lnugulhng, "but " "He Isn't my Mr. Norton," Vera ob jected. There was a further pause. If Maud had gone I should havo felt In clined to coino out and placo "Mr. Nor ton" at pretty Vern's disposal, but Maud didn't go. "Do you really like him, old Ve?" sho asked. "Only Just a little." "Sure?" "Yes almost sure." "You are rather hard on him, Maud, I think." So did I. "Won't you ndmlt that he has many good points?" "Oh ho can talk I He's very amus ing when ho comes out of the shell, I rather like to talk to him myself." In deed! "But I don't bcllove ho has a bit of sentiment In him. I'm sure he's never kissed a girl In his life." Hasn't be! "Unless" sho laughed mischiev ously "It's you." "You aro ridiculous," protested Vera. "He wouldn't dream of such a thing." Obviously Miss Vera understood me no better than other antiquities. "I'orhnps he Why don't you leave off squabbling with hlmf "Ho won't let me. He generally be gins by nsklng whether I am ready for our usual quarrel." "Why don't you sny no." "Because he ought to say it" I re solved that ho should. "Then you will And him deadly dull." "i I don't think I should," "Whatever would you talk about?" "Oh tho usual things!" him whispering soft nothings In yont cor!" Mnud laughed. Personally, didn't sco anything to lnugh nt. "And you blushing nnd looking down " "Don't bo so silly!" "Whilst ho Imprinted a chaste sa. luto" "It Is tlmo to dress for dinner," said Vera, frigidly. Sho walked toward thu door, "Ho has a ginger mustache," said Aland, ns a parting shot This remnrk was absolutely uutrue; It Is golden al most "Ho has not!" Vern departed. Mnud hummed n queer llttlo tuno to horself for a minute. Then she sighed twice presumably for Vent. Then shu shrugged her shoulders once I fear for mel Then she went out also. After n prudent Interval I followed. At dinner Vera and I were neighbors. I avoided autlquitles, nnd told her amusing stories, Just to hear her laugh. Sho looks very pretty when sho laughs. Sho also looks very pretty when she doesn't After dinner our host, who Is proud of his scenery, suggested that we should go and see the moon rise over Tall hill. I mnunged to escort Vera and to lose the others. "Shall we have our usual quarrel?" sho asked, when we had perched our selves upon a big stile at tho foot of the hill. "No," I replied; "I don't want to quarrel, please." "Don't you?" she said, brightly. "Aren't you afraid we shall bo dull?" "Not In tho least; but If you are " "Oh, no. We cau talk about let ma see " "Tho usual things?" I suggested. She looked swiftly nt me, and gave a llttlo start I took hold of her nrm. "I thought you were falling,' I explained. "Perhnps It would be safer If 1 held you.' She didn't seem to mind, so I gnthered her arm comfortably In mine. "I can't Imagine you talking 'usual things,' you know,' she said, with an uncertain little laugh. I "Everybody says 'usual things' In th moonlight," I explained. "See, It It Just rising over tho hill." Wo sat a few minutes In silence,; watching the yellow rim appearing, and tho pale light streaming down the lields, dotted here nud there with tall trees, j "It Is very, very beautiful," she said softly. "It makes one feel good. I am 60 glad you didn't wnut to quarrel tonight" Or nny other night I have been go ing to tell you so for a long time." She laughed. "How strange! Do you know, I havo been wanting to sny the same thing to you?" 'It was right that the overture Bhould como rrom me. &iie sinrtcti nnu glanced at me ngnln. The moonlight' lighted up her pretty, thoughtful fnee uuu gnuteu in uer goiucn iiair. ilia prettiest effect of tho moonrlso is In visible to you," I told her. "I think,' she said, smilingly, "Its nicest effect Is that It has made two qunrrelsome people " She hesitated for the word. "Good friends?" She nodded. "One of them Is very glad." "So," she said almost lnaudlbly, "Is the other." "Do you know, little Vera, dreadfully as we quarreled, I liked you all tho time. Only I thought that you disliked me so much." She would certainly have fallen off If I had not had the presence of mind to put my nrm around her waist "Oh, no!" she cried, quickly. "Indeed I didn't." "That" I said, "was the odd thing about It" Sho gave such a Jump at the quota tion thnt she would certainly hnve fall en off the seat If I had not had the presence of mind to put my arm around her wnlstl Mall nnd Express.

For two years artists, landscape gardeners, architects and public-spirited citizens have labored with but one point of view, to make the Pan-American exposition of 1001 a show notable among the minor expositions of the country. It will not be of a class with the Chlcngo World's Fair, for to that stupendous exposition nil the civilized world contributed Its share. Indeed, the very name of tho Buffalo exposition signifies thnt It Is not n world's fair, but an exhibition of the products and progress of all America. Canada. Mexi co and the States of Central America will vie with manufacturers and pro ducers of the L'nlted States In the com petition for medals and diplomas, and the exposition will serve to bind still closer together the peoples of this con tinent The aggregate resources of the Pnn Amerlcnti exposition authorities amount to $5,800,000 nnd with this sum a splendid exposition should be as sured. The government appropriated 5500,000 for the government exhibit, the State of New York added 5300,000 and In addition there Is an authorized capital of $2,500,000 and an authorized bond Issue of the same amount of exposition buildings. The court Is of tho shape of an Inverted T. The ap proach, fore court and bridge are about 1.000 feet In length, 300 feet wide. The main court Is 2,000 feet long. 500 feet wide, and the transverse court, across the esplanade, Is 1,700 feet from east to west. On cither side of the trium phal bridge nre the mirror lakes. These aro a part of the grand cnnnl, which completely encircles the great group of buildings, and upon which tho visitor may ride In one of the many electric launches or take a more leisurely trip lu a Venetian gondola. The canal Is lined with young trees nud banked with grnsj on Its outer edge. I'leturesquo bridges cross It at many points. Standing on the esplanade nnd far ing north the grent group of buildings at the tight, at the extreme east end of the transverse court, are those of tho the two big buildings of tho cmoI turn, the machinery and transportation , building on the west and the inniiurue lures building on the east.

"The South," says a Fall River cotton manufacturer, "has gone Into tho cotton-milling business very extensively. With the cheap labor and long hours of the South a cheap grade of cotton goods can be turned out nt much less expense. Tho Northern manufacturers could not stand this competition. They decided to make a better quality of goods. Heretofore tho fine qualities wero imported from abroad. Now as good a quality Is manufactured by tho mills of Fail Itlver, and Is for home con sumption. New machinery was sub stituted for the old. The old hands em ployed In tho mills wero of sufficient experience to turn out the good quality. This has resulted In a decline of Im ported goods. I do not mean by this that tho South has all the cheap cotton trade. There nre ten mills In Fall River nnd Now Bedford which turn out the cheap grade. Tho other seventy or eighty mills nre devoted to the flnet grades." New York Tribune. " Burled with $000 in His Pocket. It is not often that a man Is burled with $500 In his pockets.

The grounds aro about one mile from north to south nnd a half mile from east to west Their situation is In tho northern part of the city, accessible from every direction. Tho park lands form tho southern part of tho extensive grounds and aro pronounced by oxpert landscape architects to bo among tho most beautiful lu tho world.

They nre connected by circular arcades, forming n broad court slmllnr to that Inclosed by the govern ment group. Behind tho arcades aro tho conservatories.

Here tho principal elec trical displays nro to take place. Tho court Is to be illuminated at night with the diffused light of more thnn 100,000 Incandescent electric lamps, tho dis tribution being so perfect that thero will bo no shadows.

The many foundations In tho great basin of tho court will be mado beautiful at night by menus of electric lights of all colors.
