a ART FOR LOVES' SAKE D y M. E. BAKER At each cm! ot the duno sat a young person. At tho precise points whero sand and Ijcnc'j-grnss ceased to bo a port of this portlculnr duno, thoy began tho construction of othor dunes. Their bncks were townrd each oth er, though they wcro manifestly vory conscious of tho presence of each oth or and might easily havo scon each other by turning their heads a llttlo. They had quarreled, and wero not ready to mako up again. What they had quarreled about docs not matter; It was some Inconslderablo trifle. Suddenly tho stillness was broken by a far-off shout Townrd tho beach could be seen tho flguro of a stout man, very small, on tho summit of a duno, gesticulating, "Oh, it's undo," cried tho girl In an nwod tone. Sho roso quickly to her foot then sat down again. "Perhaps ho didn't boo you," she oald coldly, without turning her head. "Would you mind going away?" "if you mean mo," said tho young man, with equal coldness, "I should tnlnd, I'm not a coward." Tho stout man disappeared Into tho hollow. Ilo was evidently coming In their direction. "I wish you'd go," said tho girl. "I can sit here. I can say 1 was nlono qulto truthfully." "1 don't know why 1 should," said tho young man doggedly, with rising color. "Of com so, If you'ro ashamed to bo soon" "Oh, It's not that," she cried hastily. Tho stout man had roappoarod on tho top of another duno, and was waving his hand. "You'ro or disagreeable. You know ho doosn't llku you" Tho stout man plunged Into another hollow. "If you don't go lie's almost hero I " Tho young man did not answer. A moment later tho stout man roso on tho crest of tho duno that formed tho opposlto rim ot I ho gully before them. Ills foot ollppud, tho sand sliding nway from under him. Ho swayed wildly, mndo a desperatu lutigo to re cover his balance, caught his too In n twlnt wf root, and begun the descent of tho smooth fueo of tho duno by tho nlmplesl and moitt direct route. Ily tho time tho ntout gentleman had rolled to tho bottom of tho i;ully and half way nciosH It, nnd sprawled dlxslly to a sitting posture, waiting for tho cranberry bog to becomu sta tionary cnougii for him to get up, they Vrcro facing each other, too over como with laughter to attempt tho descent themselves. Tho young man managed to cross tho beach, 7lo hold In his hand a small, black object Upon thin tho girl's oyes rusted uticomprohendlngly far an Instant; then thoy lighted with accusation. "You'vu taken him!" sho gasped. Tho young man nodded, and their oyos mot They clasped hands, and scram bled down tho duno to thu stout gen tleman's assistance. Ho was brushing tho sand from his face, nnd struggling with his tie, which liad made almost as mtny revolutions uround his neck, as ho himself had In descending tho faco of tho duno. Ho spluttered uiidlsttugutslmblit Hounds, but ho was plainly very wrath ful At length ho gavo his fooling ver bal utterance. For a short tluib hU remarks wero uniirliitnblo they dealt with tho ns- poot of thu lniidCHo In geeural, with tho roots of boaoh plum bushes, nnd various other harmless natural ob jects. Then ho directed tho forco of his Indignation full fit his nleco. "You, Kiiilly," ho thundered. "What nro you holding onto that young fool's hand for! What nro you out heru for. with him, nnyhow!" "Do let mo brush tho sand off you, air," urged tho young man kindly. Mr, (Juthbert seemed about to strike him. "You get out of hero, sir, or I'll sir you," ho sunrlod. " would," sntd tho young man, "but 1 don't dure to leavo Hmlly unpro tected, with a raving lunatic" HU own temper was not of tho smooth est. "I'll attend to Hmlly," roared tho Honorable Mr. Culhbcrt u guess I'm capable of taking caro of my own nleco It t da full down a blanked suud hill over u blanked plum bush. "I want you to understand," ho satd Bturnly, "that this settles It I abso lutely forbid you to communicate with my nleco or try to aeo her." The eyes of the young pooplo met thoy wero communicating, In the very faco of his prohibition ; but tho situa tion was grave. Mr. Culhbert may have presented an uiullKnllled appear nnce rolling down the dune, but ho was a man of character and determin ation. His opposition to Philip Dunbar's Butt had hitherto been of a pusstvo POSITION OF ROMAN WOMEN Statistics Seem to Show They Wero Very Much Submerged Mem bers of 8oclety. Thoro woe at no tlmo In Itomo any thing that could bo called a feministic movement. No solidarity existed In u hoi split by casto Into classes that had no motive In common. Tho ladlos from time to tlmo organliod to ob tain legislation In their Interosts, but ns far as wo know, such legislation dealt only with pocunlary questions. Wo havo no record of any attempt on tholr part to Improvo tho lot of women In general. Women In general wore In fact submerged. An Inspec tion ot tho literature and tho Inscrip tions ot tho late republic and tho early empire elves tho odd Impression that the Roman women ot tho lower classos had pretty nearly ceased to oxlst, Tho professional woman, It wo may so call tier, the doctor, tho accoucheuse, tho raassouso, the actress, the dancer, the courtosan, the dressmakor was almost always a Greek. In trado and Indus try, the same was true; according to rathor than nctlvo kind. Ho did not want anybody to carry off his nleco; and being Jior legal guardian, and usually a kind and loving one, ho had a right to some say In tho matter. It was evident now, by tho concen trated disgust with which ho was sur veylng tho young man, that lionco- forth ho would assoclato hlin In his own mind with tho day's unfortunato accident, and that his attltudo would bo ono of positive hostility. "You will obllgo mo." finished Mr. Cuthbcrt "by novor addressing elth myself or Miss Cuthbort again, on any protoxt whatever." Ho turned his back and taking tho startled Emily's arm again, strodo off, leaving tho young man gazing alt er them very gonulnoly troubled. Suddenly nn Illuminating Idea flashed upon Philip Dunbar. Ho sprang hastily aftor tho retreating pair: "Mr. Cuthbort," ho callodt "Walt a moment" Tho sheer audacity of this mado Thomas Cuthbcrt stop and turn around. "I am coming to address you ognln, Mr. Cuthbcrt, after wo got back to town; and you will sco me, and listen to what I havo to say; that's all." Ho waved his hand, In token that ho had finished, thereby causing Mr. Cuthbort to becomo apoplectic onco moro. Ho kept his word. Ono afternoon In February ho.vlsltod Mr. Cuthbort's placo of business and sent In his nnmo, receiving, an ho had oxpoctcd, a mcssago to tho effect that Mr. Cuth bort woutd soo lilm further, boforo ho would sco htm at nil. Thereupon ho played his trump card. "Tnko this In, plcaso, to Mr. Cuth bcrt" ho Bald to tho mcok stenog rapher, "and toll hltn that I am still waiting." Tho stenographer disappeared, then camo out again and resumed her chair nnd banging ot tho typawrltor. A mo ment lator tho door of tho Inner oltlco was Jerked violently open. "Como In here," said Mr. Cuthbcrt "and shut tho door," Ha thumpad tho desk with Ills foro flugor, where lay a sumll photograph a photograph of a Horsenock dune, very clear nnd distinct In tho middle of the duno, Ilka a beetle pinned to a shoot of cardboard, was a strangoly sprawling flguro, whoso fnco, nlthoiiRh very small, was perfectly recogiiUablo. 'This, thlal you I" ho romarkod Ineffectually. "Yes," aald tho young man mildly. "I was thinking ot using It to Illustrate a mngatliio article on llorseneok.' Vlvldely before tho mind's oyo rose tho llorseneok tho calm pence of tho dunes, tho long, blue fchadows of the summer afternoons, tho glitter or tho ami, Ho saw Mr. Cuthbort, not well dressed or dlgnllled, sitting In n gully and trying vainly to adjust his neck tin, and his lips twitched.

Ho took tho small dark film me chanically, looking sharply nt tho young man. Ho was, after all, not a bad Judgo ot charaoter. "You are poultlvo this Is tho only print there Ib?" "On my honor, sir." Slowly Mr. Cuthbert reached for a paper knife nnd stabbed n holo through tho white features of tho llttlo man on tho black sand dune. Slowly ho picked up thu print, toro It twice across and throw tho pieces Into tho waste basket "Exactly what It this worth to you!" he asked In a friendly tone, holding tho now worthless film.

Was education moro practical a generation ago, or did John's father study his books moro thoroughly than John does! John is a seventh gTado student In the public schools. Ho asked his father ono day to help him solve the following problem: A, asked how much money ho has In tho bank, replied: "It I had $10 moro I woutd havo $1,000 more than half what I now have." How much monoy had AT "Such a fool problem," satd the father. "Tell that teacher to ask tho cashier. You havo been pestering mo with problems like that for a week. Supposo your tenchar asked you how old you are. Would you toll her: "'If I were ten times as old aa I am, diminished by 42, I would be 30 years oldor than dad, and If dad woro one-fourth as old as ho now Is ho would bo my ago?'" "What would your teacher do It you answered In such n manner? In my days wo had practical problems la our arithmetic" In order to Investigate his father's statement John went to tho public li brary nnd naked for an old arithmetic. Tho librarian gave htm "Illchard's Natural Arithmetic." Ho turned to tho psgo marked "Practical Exorcises" and read: A puts his whole flock of sheep Into threo pastures; half go Into ono pas ture, ono-thlrd Into another and 32 Into a third. How many In tho flock? "That's queor," said John. "Prac tical cxorclsos, too. Hero Is a man who wants to find how many shocp ho Partners for Years NEW YOHK. In ono of the largo wholesato houses In this city thoro nro flvo partners. Two ot them havo not apokon to ouch othor except over tho telophono for twonty years. Their private offices nro not mors than twenty feet apart nnd they too each other a score of times a dny, but thoy moot and pain without tho slight est sign of recognition. If It becomes necossary In tho course of business tor them to communicate with each other they do so either by calling a stenographer and dictating a memo randum or clso by being connected on tho telephono over tholr private lino. They nover speak faoo to face. A quarter of a century ago these five partners wero young mon with small capital. All of them had been employes ot tho samo concern, but they had their own Idoas nnd believed In them. So they put tholr nvor.ey to gether nnd formed a partnership, The new business wns successful from tho very start. Knch mail had his own particular branch to look after and "Old Rags, Old Iron" Set to Music BOSTON. An outdoor school for making musical rag men, hawkers and street venders Is the latest educa tional novelty established in this city, Miss Caroline E.

She confidently be lieves that onco her method becomes a fixture a person, Instead of feeling obliged to slam down the window on Expected Twin Babies But He Found CHICAGO. "Come home twins!" A mandatory order to a police man of tho Hyde Park station flashed from his home to the station at mid night. The policeman obeyed, Just as he hss done each year at the sum mons to "come homo" upon tho ar rival of new members ot the family teu ot them during the last ten years. Sergt, Uartholomaw Cronln, tho father, left bis desk duties at the po lice station and rushed to his house at 7019 Indiana avenue. Within were signs of activity; lights flashed and above the din of excitement could be beard the wall ot several of the small Cronlns, Even Polly, the red Durham cow, which furnishes milk for the group, seemed affected and mooed In unison with tho crying children. Tho police sergeant hesitated at the threshold--then doffed his hetmot and entered. He sought first the physi cians, two ot them, who talked disin terestedly with some ot the children. Ona ot them said: "Sergeant this case Is ono most un usual. It should ba brought to the attention of dairymen throughout tho country. A tull-Mied male and fe male. Mother and offspring doing nicely. You might drop a word to That Puzzled Dad has. Ho counts them so ho will know when ho has halt of them. This hal: ho puts Into a pasture. Then ht counts out a third and puts It In an othor pen. Next he counts what's leti and finds he has 32. After a llttli figuring he finds how many In thi wholo flock. Very practical. I guesi dad didn't study that book." Tho next book ho examined wai "Mllno's Inductive Arithmetic," cdl tlon of 1879. In miscellaneous exam pies ho found the following: Two ladders will together Jusi reach tho top of a building soventy flvo feet high. If tho shorter ladder li two-thirds the longth of tho other what Is tho length of each? "Why didn't ho measure each lad der separately?" John asked himself "That problem Is not practical. 1 guess dad Is older than I thought I want nn oldor book." Tho text book written In 1SC8 wai handed to htm. Tho book was evt dentty Influenced by tho Civil war, foi It was flllod with problems deallni with battering down fortlflcatlont and tho sustenanco of soldiers. Oni problom was: "If twelvo pieces of cannon, elghtecr pounders, can batter down a fortresi In three hours, how long will It takt for nineteen twenty-four pounders tc batter down tho same fortress?" "That's flno for a general," John re fleeted, "but dad rays that I am golns to be a captain of Industry." Another arithmetic of the same date had tho famous fish problem, wltb which John's teacher had troubled htm for six wooks before he hlmsolf finally explained It to the class. Tho Csb problem Id. "Tho head of a fish Is ten Inchei long. Us tall is as long as Its head nnd ono-half tho body. Tho body ti as long aa tho head and tall both How long In tho flih?" Very handy problem for n butcher. But Never Speak each wns a specialist who did his part to porfoctlon. Tholr separata Inter esta In tho firm so Interlocked and they workod together so harmonious ly that within flvo years they wero oo tho high road to fortuno. It was Just at this time that these two partneri fell out It aroso from a trifling dlf feronco their wives had. Naturally each partner, through loyalty to hit spouso, took her side, and the quarrel grew so bitter that It culminated Id blowa being exchanged. Then they vowed they never would speak to each other again. Tho other three partneri saw that If this course wero pursued It would spell ruin. Aftor a lengthy conference, In which tho two dls putants were called In separately, the proposition was put to them that they should agree to rewntn with tho firm, of which they were essentially Im portant parts, and should hold com munication with each other only on business mntters and then either to writing or by telephono. This Is tho plan that has been fol lowed to this day nnd Is likely to be pursued to the end.

"VISION" SPRINGS NEW ONE Pair Agent Puts Clerks to Rout by Introducing Dook In Unique Up-to-Date Manner. It was a qulot springtime morning and tho clerks In the big Importing of fice wcro languidly pushing their pens over the ledgers and dreaming of baseball nnd fishing.
