Aiianta to say mat ne had read Mr. war

that be bad set his heart on having the

evitable tenderness of reeling of an autnoi
towards an admirer of his work, he an

A New Bird Story.
A party "of summer visitors at Eiberon;
"N. J., were one day very much surprised
at the sagnolty of a flock of fiih hawks.
One of thefo birds, being mlstuk.n for a
barnvard" robber, was shot at wbllo perch
ing on the tt-p branch of a tree. The ball
truck the bird in his whin, and Iw drop
ped, flutterintr and screeching from bouah
to bough, until he contrived to rlutch at
a strong forked brsnoh nnj restud there.
AH day long hu sat, uttering plorcinit
screams, and the nvxt marniu was found
to nave gathered around him a large
circle of hawks, porbably his relatives and
friend?, who seemed to be holdlnqr a oounr

while their wounded brother aeemed to
listen eagerly and now and .then put in a
word. The 'approach Of human . beings

pert the dUsabled one. The sportsman
came again, Into the orchard With the in
tention of putting an end to th pour
creature's misery; but be was easily per
suaded to wait and see what tne birds
would do. , An Immediate result of the
meeting was th feeding of the prisoner,
several members of -the rescuing party
, flying to the ocean and returning with
fish In their claws. It was easily seen,
. however, that the nearness of the tree
to the housa and the lowness of the
branches on which the wounded- bird
crouched caused the greatest anxiety, and
even after the invalid's nunyer was sat
isfied, the other birds kept flying away In
parties. While ethers still perched on the
trees and seemed to be awa'tins; the mei-
' senger's retrurA.lt wafso evident that some
.plan had been made that a number of la
dles brought their needlework out into the
orchard and stayed waiting to see what
was going to be done. The hawks were
very quiet all dey, except that the suf

moved uneasily on its leafy bed. while the
.watchers replied in low soot bins; tones,

heard, a flock of hawks appeared, and
in their midst a giant hawk a bird much
larger ana stronger tnan a y or tne real.
For a few moments It perched upon the
tonmost branch of the tree, then started
up again and began circling about, coming

from the bough, soared away with him

, Face Book the Jle west Fad. -
Quite t ha latest idea la to have a face
bcok. Instead of the old style album.
. collection of drawing paper sheet, are
bound together, and the . friends of the
book owner, are expeoted to do Che rest,
A book i sometimes made or heavy,
ooarse white linen, and in a desirable
and durable style, with the cover of
brilliant crimson, deep blue or yellow
iinsn. If a clever sketch drawn In black
is put on It, so much the better. Here
are lines that may be written in fancy
tetters neiow tne sketch:
" 'TIs a face book rare,
And, friends, I dara.
To trace its pages o'er;
With What fa In
Their minds to limn.
However, it may bore."
It la the proper caper to introduce the
book at 5 o clock teas and Sunday even
ing suppers. In it each guest is asked to
draw a head of some sort girl, man,
child or animal. It does not in the least
matter If thsy cannot draw at all. They
maidthsirJieat- -or , worst ...
Usually the worst Is very desirable, be
cause it makes a laugh. The amateur
artists must sign their names, or Write
Jlnes descriptive of their efforts. The
protests against tnus commuting them
selves are sometlmse loud and deep( M
attention should be paid to them.
The most amusing pages In the face
book are ant to be the on in whnh
detached human featuree are drawn. For
instance, . were may re a nose done by
one friend, and an ear by another. Just
the tip end or the dimpled thin by a tnira,
or the sketch of a hand. It is a good
plan to have the pages with these odds
and ends of features sketched in without
autographs.
A good line at the head of the page
would be, "By their works ye shall know
them." These are the guessing leaves
of the book, and many a jolly hour may
be passed by visitors who try to guess
the- namtuf of the artists. Some women
insist that musical friends shall express
a sentiment by means- of a bar of musio.
The selection of a bar Is made from a
popular song, and the first word of the
tine is written over the Initial note, while
the last one appears atme the closing
one.
This helps out th' guewer wlio cannot
read music, but who is familiar with
Utm songs of the day. Other fsce book
"wnesfe. wWh original minds, insist tht
only flowers or plants or trees be drawn
on th pRrs. A glance at ome of these
makes w5Jorider ip-un hxrr f ores

to be the chief point that appeals to the
average eye, sr.d form to a little or no

The face book need never be complete,
for each evening that a woman entertains
a fresh leaf may be added.
SERIOUS MAKING 07 A NOVEL.
Margaret Horton Potter, author of the
new novel Istar of Babylon, just published
by the Harpers, can testify to the labor
Involved in writing a novel like Istar. In
the first place, It was quite seven years
ago that the theme occurred to her. It
was at a Thomas concert and a symph
onic poem, "Istar," by the original and
imaginative French composer, Vincent
d'Indy, was played. Immediately upon
reaching horns Miss Poter wrote the Pro
logue, almost exactly as It stands to-day.
She began that same year to build up the
theme nn J to reiiil for the story. In 1800
she worked about two hours a - day
through six or eight months, reading and
studying for it. Book I. was written in
Egypt and Sicily, and the main part of
the story at Lake Geneva last summer.
She spent three days at Sellnunte the old
Bellnous. In Sicily last year, studying the
;t6"f the int town, but sh has not
been to the site of Babylon, ad bas been
reported. Most of the MS. of Istar was
rewritten three times. In London, In 1901,
Miss Potter met Dr. Wallia Budge, the
President of the British Museum, who
gave her the freedom of the library there,
and also sent her a list of books which
he thought might be useful. Miss Potter
says that the Assyrian and Babylonish
exhibits, however, were of the most value
to her; and in the book of Istar most of
the small articles Jewelry, knives, dishes,
etc. he actually saw In the collection
at the museum, or found described in
various catalogues of articles found in
the mounds.
A BIT OF FRENCH LIFE.
A country teeming with age: a popula

and his sonorous voice droning a pro
clamation of the ma Ire. Listen with me
to one I heard: "The ma ire had heard
with regret that the children of the vil
lage have been disturbing the birds' nests
in the trees; and if these acts "are, not
discontinued,- he will hold the parents
responsible, ' and ' fine them heavily."

OnlV a Woman's Heart. .
Only a woman's heart whereon
Vou have trod In your careless haste,
A thing at best that was easy wen;
. What matter how drear a, -waste
Her life may be in the future years, .
What matters it? Do you start? .
It is only the sound of dropping tears.
As wrung from a women's heart
'TIs of little worth, fnr It" cost you naught
But a honeyed word and a smHe;
Waa the fault not hers if abe blindly
thought
, - You were truer than truth the while
What If the seeds of a lifelong woe,
From its broken shrine upstart;
What does it matter to you? Tou know
It is only a woman Heart.
Only a heart to be thrown away.
With the restlessness of a boy.
Who, careless of pleasure and weary of
Play.
Would throw down, a broken toy.
The world Is fair and ths world Is wide.
And there's more in Its busy mart;
Conscience, you know, you have put
aside; .
It Is, only a woman's heart.
But powerless Is ynu$ boasted will .
TO vanquish the ghost of sin;
It has spoken oft .and It whispers still
Your soul's dark chambers In;
In the drama of life full well you know
You have acted the villain's part
For you struck a hard, a cruel blow.
And it fell on a woman's heart
Only a woman's heart, oh, well!
'TIS little, l trow, to yon.
Whether that heart was as false as hell,
rti am heaven itfielf am true:
You may hug the thought to your selfish
heart
That vnu'rw skilled In deceotion s art.
But I brand you thief for the peace and
You stole from a woman's heart.
