KEEPING STEP.
"Go away; it's no use, "Ma!), paid
Prlsey Cartwrlght to her sister. "The
thing has been settled ages ago so far
as I am concerned. Ilusji ufy lijtyw
bush up!" J
"Ages ago!" Mab echoed, refusing to
"hush up." "I believe It must be ages
ago. Well, if you persist In this unrea
, sonable course."
"I don't persist any more than you.
Look at how you did with Tom Van-
duren."
"That was a long time ago. I didn't
do It for an example, either. And you
said at the time you wouldn't do as
much for me. Then you went and did
the very same thing, after all."
"Don't care," Prlsey said doggedly.
"I will not marry off and leave you for
any man under the canopy of heaven."
"Then, my dear, since we cannot get
our suitors to keep step, so to speak,
we might as well makearrangements
for a quiet and dignltled old maldhood.
Let's buy a parrot or - something,
Prlsey."
The front door boll rang while the
two young women were discussing
their mutual affairs In their own room
ou the second floor. Just as Mab's
brilliant suggestion for the purchase of
a parrot bad thrown both the suitors
into a tit of hi lighter the servant girl
of the boarding-house appeared at their
door with a square envelope addressed
to Mab.
"The boy says he's to wait for an an
swer." "Here, I'rlsey," said Mab as soon as
she had glauced at the signature, "this
must be for you. It's addressed to mo
yes no wait a minute." .
Then she, read to herself:
"My Dear Mub Do you Intend going
out this evening? If not will you see
ine at 8:30V 1 have something to say to
you of the greatest Importance to my
self, at least.
"JULIt'S CLEMENT."
"Hero, Prlsey, read this." And Mab
handed the letter to her sister. "What
do you think he menus';" Then she
added, speaking gently, to avoid being
heard by the servant girl, who was
waiting nt the door, "Do you tiilnk he's
cot us mixed up?"
As Prlsey read the noto her blue eyes
wldeued In amazement, but she only
said, "You're keeping Jane waiting,
Mab."
Mb turned suddenly toward the
door. "Tell the boy '"Yes," " she said.
"That's nil the answer there Is.' '
Thedoor having closed behind the ser
vant, there was a silence of some mo
ments between the two sisters. They
seemed to take the Incident In contrast
ing ways. The brunette, Mab, stared
as a child might stare at an elder sister
Prlsey was her elder sister who has
met with a calamity and perplexes by
her coolness under It. Prlsey went on
with her occupation, which happened
to be pulling feathers from an old hat
to rearrange them on a new one. . .
These two orphan girls had been
alone together In the world for so long
that each exiected to understand every
Inmost feeling of the other by Intuition.
"Dou't you care?" Mab said at last,
"I?" said Prlsey, looking up from her
f on titers for one moment. "What for?
Why shouldn't he?"
"Was I right, Prlsey?"
"Perfectly right, child."
At the appointed hour Mr. Clement
rang the bull and asked for Miss Mabel
Cartwrlght.
"Did you say Miss Mabel?" Jane
asked.
"Yes, Miss Mabel.
June really felt uncertain ns to
whether Mr. Clement's memory had
not played him a trick.
"So you have something of the great
est Importance to say to me?" Mab
nskefl him when she had taken a very
straight chair opiostte her visitor.
"Er yes, Miss Mab. I hope you
wou't hurry me, though. Did I say
'the greatest Importance' In that noto
1 scut you? Oh. well "
"To you, I think you said. Put I don't
want to hurry you. It's very sloppy
out of doors, Isn't It?' '
"Oh, now, don't make fun of me!"
"How?" asked Mab Innocently. "Ro
cnuse 1 asked If It was sloppy?"
"I might as well come to the point,"
said Clement, "Look here. Miss Mab; of
course you know what happened last
nlglvt at the Jernay'r-.to me, I meau."
Mab only Axed her dark eyes ou him
and when he hesitated said, "Go on."
"Well, I want to know If If you
think-that Is, If I have your sym
pathy." Julius Clement had a fluo mustache,
which curled with boldness and grace,
and which he always stroked and pull
ed Svhen he was In doubt or In deep
thought. 0 this occasion he was In
both, and he acted accordingly.
"Do you need a great deal of sym
pathy?" Mab asked him.
which Prlsey called "shutting up her
self all to herself." ... She went through
this process now,
'""We were talking of buying a par
rot," she said, very seriously,' after a
little pause..-, .j. ; - . '":
"A parrot? What for?"
"For our amusement and consola
tion." '
Clement'lnughed at this idea so heart
ily that. 'Mab fcotfan to wonder.
;l, "Tell me ...StfvMtsly") e,leent said,
"isn't it something to know that some
body cares for you even if " .
"Mr Vnnd-uren to see Miss Mabel
Cartwrlght," Jane interrupted, opening
the door at this point In the interview.
"Mr. Yanduren:". Mab exclaimed, not
concealing her surprise.
..v "Oh, I er I Intended to tell you,'
said Clement. "He arrived in town to
day, you know. You hadn't heard?"
There was some eiuliarrassinent In
the meeting between this young artist
and the girl who, In the language of
common report, hod "given hiiu the
mitten" nearly two years before. an
duren had taken himself off to Mexico
and Central America, alleging an irre
sistible lonslusr to sketch nature In
those parts.
"You quite surprised us," said Mab
as she shook hands with the boarded
last arrival, "and very pleasantly
When dkl you get back? Prlsey will
be so glad to see you again. Let me
go up and tell her you are here."
Without prolixity it would be Impos
sible to describe Yanduren's manner of
receiving this suggestion. There was
more than mere embarrassment, there
was annoyance. Something seemed to
have gone wrong. Mab saw this much,
but was not clear as to what was
wrong. Clement smiled a very proper,
conventional smile and stroked his mus
tache. Yauduren mumbled something
which Mab felt perfectly nt liberty to
tike for assent Accordingly Mab left
the room and the two men stood face
to face.
"You seem auiused, Clement said
Yanduren, breaking the silence.
"Well, why shouldn't I?" Clement on
swered. "What did I tell you to-day?
Of course, you didn't tell me you would
lie here so soon very first evening, you
know."
"I didn't think It necessary to advise
you of all my movements beforehand,"
sand Yauduren, coldly, while he stood
lefore the mantelpiece critically exam
ining an applique drapery.
"That's right, Yanduren quite right.
Now, before they come down, let me
tell you something." Yanduren turned
quickly and faced the other man. "We
have no time to lose," Clement went on,
speaking hurriedly. "You may not
know it but you are my 'god out of the
machine' that's a classic allusion, you
know. I'll explain it another time. See
here, I knew well enough you'd be here
to-night That was why 1 told you I
was x-omlng. Now you want mo to get
out. dou't you?"
l'or answer Yanduren only stared.
"Yes, you do. Miss I'rlsey wont come
down."
"How do you know that?"
"Never mind. No time now for argu
ment. I only want to make a straight
forward proposition to you. If I get
out of this will you promise to propose
to Miss Mab this very night? Yes or
nor
"Well, I'll beshot!" Yauduren ex
claimed In an undertone,
"Yes, I know," said Clement "It does
seem a queer auu quaini men, oiu
there'll be time for explanation later.
Yes or uo?"
A rustle of skirts could be heard on
the stairs.
"Yes," said Vauduren, making his de
cision hurriedly, as one who leaps In
the dark.
"Good for you for us both." Clement
whispered to him as the skirts eiune
nearer tlie door of the sitting-room.
"And tell her to tiko a day or two to
think it over not to hurry."
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Yauduren." said
Mnb, opening the door. "Prlsey has a
headache. You ore going to le here
some time, are you not In the city?
That's right She told me to say she
bones you'll come again soon. She was
very glad to hear of your return."
.The rest for ten or lifteen minutes
was small talk, alxnit traveling and art,
Mexico and volcanoes. Then Clement,
In conformity with his promise, "got
out of that"
Next afternoon the two girls were to
gether again In their room. Prlsey was
turning over a letter that had come to
her through the mall.
"I think yon might let me see It," said
Mab. "I let yon see mine yesterday."
At last, after some hesitation, Prlsey,
without speaking, handed her sister the
letter, which read:
"You must uot think me overbold If I
refuse to take your 'No' for an answer
and come back again within forty-eight
hours of my defeat at the Jeruay's.
Something leads me to the conviction
that this is a specially -favorable chance
for me to try again.' Will you reconsid
er your decision, or Is there really no
hope for me?
"In the latter rase mercifully end my
suspense by an early answer.
"JULIUS CLEMENT."

WHAT A WOMAN DID.
To Europe Six Times in Twelve Years
Learned Six Languutfes.
A plucky American woman, who be
gan to support herself at eighteen, has
shown how a poor school teacher can
see Eurojie to the best advantage in
twelve years, says the Philadelphia
Times. Earning a small salary in a
public school, she has taken private pu
pils and lived frugally, and has been
able to go to Europe every other year
for a two mouths' holiday.
Her first journey was made to En
gland and Scotland, and was enjoyed
so keenly that she planned another one,
and saved money for It during the next
two years. The second tour was
through France, Belgium and Holland,
and in order to travel comfortably she
learned French duriug her leisure
hours.
Returning to her school work, she be
gan to study German, and at the end of
two years was ready for a Journey up
the Khlne and to Yienna, and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bre
men. With renewed ardor she plunged
into the study of Italian, and nt the
end of two years she started for Rome.
She made the round of the Italian cit
ies, and spent a fortnight In Switzer
land. Two years afterward she was
In Spain, and was able to speak the lan
guage.
During the last year she has made
her sixth journey to Europe, traveling
through Denmark, Norway and Swed
en to Russia, and spending a fortnight
in Moscow. She carried with her
fair knowledge of Swedish, and not
only knew the Russian alphabet so as
to read the street 9lgns, but could make
her own bargains with drosky drivers
and go about without a guide.
In the course of twelve years she has
made six Journeys to Europe and
learned to speak six modern langunges,
and she has supported herself entirely
by her earnings ns a school teacher,
and has paid every penny of her trav
ellng expenses. Starting with a pains
taking study of the language of the
country which she was to visit, .and
also preparing herself by a course of
rending, she has made the best possible
use of her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come In her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge of foreign lan
guages has fitted her for broader work
as a teacher, and she has left the pub
lic schools to take a position as in
structor In French, German and Itallai
in a high school for young women.
There may be higher alms than thosi
ordinarily Involved in foreign travel,
but the persistency of tills American
girl In carrying out her plans Is worthy
of praise, It is a great gain in any hu
man life, If It Is governed by n definite
purpose and keeps that purpose stead
ily In mind.

At the south side this is cleft In tvo

huge permanent snow bank. High up
on the west side of the ravine is the vil
lage of Ouk-lvak, which consists of
about forty dwellings, partly hollowed

houses are entered by a tunnel "which

is a tent of walrus hide, which Is
stretched over a wooden frame and
guyed o the rocks by ropes to prevent
Its being blown off into the sea. These
tents allow of a room about ten or fif
teen feet square, and entered by means
of an oval hole in the hide about-two
feet above the floor. A narrow plat
form two feet wide runs along outside
of the door and leads back to the hill.
These platforms are often fifteen or
twenty feet above the winter dwelling
below.
At the other side of the deep ravine,
at the base of the cliff, Is a huge cavern
into which the sea dashes. At the back
of this Is a large bank of perpetual
snow. -The cave dwellers use this as a
storehouse. They dig rooms In the
snow and store their provisions, which
freeze solid and keep the year round,
for the temperature in the snow never
rises above 32 degrees. Pittsburg

What For?
One of the most curious branches ol
a certain Uiidou theatrical wig-mak
er's business is the painting ami erasing
of black eyes. Just as mnuy hundreds
ot discolored eyes have been hidden by
his art as those made for stage pur
pofes. "A short time apo," said the
vis-maker to au Interviewer, "a man
rushed Into my office and said he want
ed me to paint him a fine black eye oiiu
that would not be distinguishable from
a Ronutue one. I was surprised and
n mused. 'Whatever do you want that
for?' I asked. 'Well.' he said hesitating-
ly, It's like this, you see. Before I left
this morning I had a till with my wife,
and she actually went so far as to strike.
me In the face. I know she repented It
Immediately afterwards; but I want to
teach her a lesson. So just make me
up as good a black eye as possible,
Klease, and when 1 get home, I will
show her what her temper was respon

The Prolific Life of Alaska.
John Mulr, who has summered and
wintered In the Alaskan lauds, says In
the Atlantic: -Nowhere on my travels
so far have I seen so much warm
blooded rejoicing life as lu this grand
Arctic reservation by so many regarded
as desolate. Not alone are there whales
In abundance along the shores, and In
numerable seal?, walruses, and white
bears, but great herds of fat reindeer
on the tundras, and wild sheep, foses,
hares, lemmings, whistling marmots
and birds. Terhaps more birds are born
here than In any other region of equal
extent on the continent. Not only do
strong-winged hawks, eagles and water
fowl, to whom the length of the conti
nent Is only a pleasant excursion, come
up here every summer In great- num-J
bers, but also many short-wluged war
blers, thrushes and finches, to rear
their young lu safety, re-enforce the
plant bloom with their plumage and
sweeten the wilderness with song, fly
ing all the way, some of them, from
Florida, Mexico and Central America.
In thus going so far north tiiey are only

and oidy go South to spend the winter

nnd Blng and chatter more or less all
tho way back and forth, keeping the
whole country glad. Oftentimes In
New England Just as the last snow
patches are melting, and the sap In the
maples begins to flow, the blessed

chards and the edges of fields, where
they have stopped to glean a scanty
meal, -not tarrying long, knowing they
have far to go. Tracing the footsteps
of spring, they arrive In their tundra

The Origin of Tally-IJo.
As quaint a mixture of words nnd ln-
terjectlonnl cries as I have met with Is
In an old French cyclopedia of 1703,
which gives a minute description of the
hunter's craft and prescribes exactly
what Is to be cried to the hounds In all
possible contlngeucles of the chase. If
tho creatures understand grammar and
syntax the language could not Ihs more
accurately arranged for their ears.
Sometimes we have what seem pure In-
terjectlonnl cries. Thus, to encour
age the hounds to work, the huntsman
Is to call to them "lla hallo, hallo,
halle!" while to bring them up before
they are uncoupled It Is prescribed
that he shall call "Ilau, hau," or "Hau.
tahautr and when they are uncoupled
he Is to change his cry to "Haul la y
la la y la fciyau"' a call which suggests
the Normaa origin of the English tally-ho.
