J. Carlton Suuudcrs cuiue to him
self with a start, as Elizabeth spoke
bis name. He know from tho tune of
his sister's voice that she had spolteu
before, nnd had been Ignored.
"You asked, my deur " ho ques
tioned. "When you ore going away," Elis
abeth retorted, "Isn't It about lime v'or
one of your trips)"
"Yes." Cnrltou answered, "i ought
to be In New York this week."
Ho frowned; It was diplomacy to
pretend thexo business -trips a bore
nnd a bother. Otherwise, the two el
derly uud dominating sisters who were
his housekeepers uud companions,
would frel themselves cheated of the
participation of n pleasure.
As a matter of fact, Carlton Saun
ders, In the prosy regime of his small
town home, looked forwurd to tlie
rucapes Into an outer world with se
cret anticipation and enjoyment.
Elizabeth and Knthcrlno were good
sisters, nnnoylilily uuxlous concerning
his welfare.
J. Carlton appreciated their solid
titdo, while ho fretted under the con
stant surveillance. There were thdsn
who Insisted that tho kindly inn
might long ago have rejoiced lu a
homo of his own with u wlfo to shsre
II, had It not been for Elizabeth's and
Knthcrlne's rale. Hut tho brother In
his heart rcfutrd this.
Wcro his sisters not bringing before
him constantly possible applicant) for
matrimony!
"Yes," ho answered Elizabeth sgaln,
"1 must bo In Now York this week."
"Wo will pack your valise," Katherlne
ssld, "and don't forget to wear your
rubbers."
Hut when he walked Into the New
York hotel a few days later, ho had
left, unconsciously, his habitual dim
dence nt home. Ills namo on tho resis
tor was signed merely Jnck Saunders.
Tho clerk bowed In greeting.
"Can't gtvo you your usual room,"
he explained apologetically, "we are
filled up."
The room the bellboy ushered him
Into wus comfortable enough. Hut as
he turned to place coat nnd hat on tho
hanger, J. Saunders stared; a lllmy
bluo cloud of something had forestalled
him there. While nil iiliout the small
room was the Indefinable fragrance ot
thnt mystlcul romance, which he hnd
missed. Llluc, or Illy of tho valley or
just sweet springtime what was th
alluding odor which enchanted his
senses?
A tap on the xloor. Curltou turned
guiltily. A woman's face wus rulsed
to his her eyes wero as blue as the
filmy cloud on the hnnger, hut they
wero not the eyes of a young girl not
yet the calm gazing eyes thnt Eliz
abeth would have recommended.
"I am nfrnld I left some of my be
longings Ini this room," the sweet
faced woman suld. "I hud decided to
occupy It when the clerk discovered
that the one I prefer was vncated.
Bo they carried my grip In there. 1
am sorry " she paused, and then at
his bow ot permission, gathered up
her apparel nnd went on her wny
Hut the breath of springtime remnlned.
When J. Curlton went Into the dining
hull ut evening, he saw the young wom
an seated ulono at a secluded tuble.
ne liked the plainness of her blue
serge dress, which was such u different
plainness from Julia. Well's, or his sis
ters; nud he liked the plquunt hat
that she becomingly wore. As ho
passed down the corridor to his room,
It gsve hhn nn uuaccountuble feeling
of relief, to hear the woman at the
hall desk address the lady of the blue
cloud us "Miss Darby" Miss, then
tho was not married. He speculated
about her, as he bent over his writing.
The usually ranttcr-of-fuct John Carl
ton could not write ; he could not take
hold of his work ; he decided to retire.
And there on the floor at hts feet, lay
a pair ot small blue slippers, quilted
satin slippers with ridiculous fluffy
pompouB upon either toe. So, she had
forgotten these. They were the sort
of slippers u Cinderella of past dream
log might have chosen to slip on In
the firelight. The following mornlni
he sank Into a chair In an ad
Joining "coffee house" and opened
hts paper. Springtime floated provoc
atively around hlra, lilac and llly-of-the-valloy
springtime. Two very blue
eyes smiled over a coffee cup, oppo
site. "flood morning," greeted the lady of
the blue cloud, "thank you for return
ing my slippers."
"I travel," she told him upon their
third chance breakfast together, "for
a linen company. Imported linens.
My knowledge In that line was my
one chance for self-support after my
father died. It's a good business, but
It leaves me homeless. Thut's the
drawback."
"I have a home" Carlton said
musingly, "nn old plaee, with bushes
around it-

Cnrlton nodded.
"How t would lovo It," sho ex
rlutmcd. "I am old," ho nnswered her Irrele
vantly. "1 was mourning over my
bold head this morning."
"So much" asked the lady oppo
site, "thnt you quite missed the e'ear
youth of your eyosl"
When Ellznbeth nnd (Catherine re
ceived a telegram some duys Inter, they
stnred at each other In speechless
nmnzement.
"Married,'' rend tho brief message
from their brother, 'bringing mj wife
home with me." .
DEFINES RIQHT OF CARRIERS
Long Litigation Ovar 8tmlngly Slight
Mattsr Really Was Matter of
High Importanoe.
, Long litigation over possession of a
loaf of bread at last has confirmed the
claim ot a commix, carrier to posses
sion of articles lft behind by forget
ful passengers says tho New York
Telegraph. Ilj such seemlngly'trlfllng
Incidents are established principles of
taw and equity often brought to the
attention of tho public.
The Issue grew out of the arrest ot n
man who picked up a package left by
another passenger, on n sent of a New
York subway train. The trainmaster
demanded the package under the com
pany's rule requiring all such estruys
to be turned Hi at the o(llce, subject to
claim by tho owners. Although It then
was discovered that the pneknge con
tained nothing more vuluablo than a
5-cent loaf ot bread Uio mutter went
to litigation.
Through all tho devjous ways thnt
such seemingly petty cases get up to
tho highest court, tho caso reached the
Court of Appeals of the state. There,
after as solemn deliberation as Is given
to Issues Involving largo amounts of
money and more momentous principles,
tho court held thnt tho rule of tho com
pany was bnscd on a well-established
principle of law.
The flndcr could have no claim to the
artlclu us having been lost. It merely
had been left by tho owner on the
property ot the currier, who at once
bucamo bulleo for the owner. The
other person, Instead of acquiring any
right to It as Under under the, law,
technically became u thief If he re
tained It, notwithstanding his ex
pressed Intention to ndvcrtlso for tho
owner.
Pearls From Herrings.
"French pearls" were very popular
before the war. To make theso arti
ficial pearls, the French craftsmen ob
tained flsh scales from the Russian
bleak fisheries, and used these sheeny
scales to give glass beads the luster ot
H-arls. The war stopped tho Russian
tUhcrmcn, and consequently French
penrl-mskers could no longer work.
Therefore great efforts wore made to
And a substitute for the Russian flsh
scales. Now t has been found that
the scales of certain sea herring and
shad possess a delicate luster slmltni
t oriental pearls. The. silvery coat
ing Is removed and from It "essence
d'Orlent" or pearl essence Is made.
The essence adheres like cement; and
a glass bead which has been coated
with It bears n passable rescmblanco
to a genuine peart.
New "Landtd Qsntry" In England.
The advent of a new "landed gentry"
In England since tho war Is made plain
by "Hurke'a," an annual work of refer
ence on that subject which has reap
peared after a break of seven years.
Over 100 names of old landowners have
disappeared since the last edition, und
their places have been taken by double
thnt number of newcomers. In the
preface, Uie editor remarks; "Much
as tho passing of old families from the
land, or the diminution of their bold
lugs. Is to be regretted, the rise of a
new class of landed gentry, possessed
ot means enabling them to develop es
tates which had become Impoverished
through the misfortunes of their pre
vlous owners, cannot be without bene
fit to the country."
Alarm for Banka.
An electric siren alarm has beeu
tried In the Hank of Hamilton. The
Interior of tho bank using this alarm
Is wired and a number of electric
buttons placed In secret places. On
the wall outside a siren alarm la
attached. If a robbery Is attempted
the staff push their buttons and the
alarm automatically shrieks a warn
ing on the street. A test was made
In one of the branches In Toronto
and when the siren called four police
men rushed luto the bank prepared to
fight bandits.
i :enubs won lime tiw.w, .
land In the last few months believe
the land has soured. The growth of
trees and vegetation has been so
rapid and dense as to exhaust the
humus In the soil. Another theory
Ms that the soil rests on a rock base
and tho rootlets of the plunta have
come Into contact with the brine of
Vuget sound to such an extent that
the salt has turned out the plant
life.
