Butter, and a little girl named and called Pearl Porter. To this little girl her grundfutber, Major Porter, «bowed au affection ao devoted uh to be, popularly supposed, almoat ruinous. "lie Ju«t apoila that child,” Mrs. Atkinson would say as she looked out of ber window and saw Pearl fastening up tbe major'a mus­ taches with balrplna, and she would turn away with a nigh. It was per­ haps thia devotion, but more probably a native Impulse of tbe heart, that bad made Pearl an unusually vain child. Hlie was a pretty little thing, with a Boating mist of hair and large brown eyes, always beautifully dressed In lit­ tle, stiff, white embroidered clothes. She was born with a sense of carriage, and she could not help knowing when ladies said in loud whispers, "Isn't she sweet ?” Her reputation as "a proudy cat” among the children of Lake View bad, however, been founded less by ber per­ sonality than by an incident of ber early youth. When she was only four years old, she had been given a little blue silk parasol with an Ivory handle. With this at church she bad been left in the pew by her aunt when that lady went up to the communion rail. When Mrs. Burden had reached It ami turned that those returning might pass ber, what was the amusement of the congrega­ tion and her own astonishment on see­ ing Pearl tripping lightly up the aisle with ber new blue parasol opened and held gracefully above ber bead. Tbe aunt herself was a very dressy lady, and she more thoroughly than any other member of the family sym­ pathized with Pearl In her taste for making calls, for wearing kid gloves and for carrying a small cardcase with a rose folded In it. This aunt. Major Porter’s daughter, was a large woman, with long red cheeks, tilted blue eyes and an over­ whelming. tightly busked figure. At the top of her small forehead, long face ami towering bulk she always wore a glittering little bonnet. She lived in Washington, and she was able to pct and Indulge ber niece only on occasion­ al visits. On these visits Mrs. Atkinson used to watch with longing these two opposite and fashionable types walking out to the carriage together. She loved Butter, but sbe had always dreamed of liaviug just such a child as Pearl. All Butter's tastes were different from Pearl's, lie had no Imagination for the world of graceful convention. His companions were other grubby, freckled little boys, most of them dis- regardfull.v dresse«l In trousers bagging about two Inches below the knee. But­ ter numbered among bls acqualntam-es a boy wlio bad run away from home, a boy who had a whip tattooed on bis arm and a man sup|>osed by Butter's circle to be a murderer. Butter cut the man's grass, and when tbe man gave him 15 cents—the market price is IO— Butter banded him back the unneces­ sary 5 and said, "No blood money for me.” The man had laughed in a puz­ zled way. Of course if he had done anything else it would have given him away. Rutter also know a boy who had u printing press, and in partnership with him he bad conducted successfully an enterprise of printing pink ami green highly glazed calling cards for the la­ dles of the neighborhood. Besides the cash capital they derlv«-d from this source, they reallzeil every summer a large lucome of pins and newspapers from circuses in the barn. Major Porter sometimes attended tlies«* circuses with Pearl and sat in n box for ten newspapers, and. though lie was so enchanted with Pearl, he used to watch with a pang of envy Butter’s lithe, wiry frame turning handsprings in the back yard, for, though lie had never liad golden curls or curried a parasol, he had once tumbled on the grass and chased fire engines In a dusty and happy oblivion of the customs of the world. Once a year a circus came to on«- of the empty lots of l.ake View west of the Porters’, it stayed for one day and then pursued Its glorious niurcb In honor of more western cities. This day was one long haze of delight for Butter Atkinson. Its ecstasy began In tbe morning, when be went w.tb his friends over to the lot to see the tent pltchi-d, and It lasti-d through the con­ cert at the end of tbe clrcva. Mr. Atkinson always took Butter; bad never thought of not taking him until one miserable day when an un­ considering vice president elect and hfs thoughtless wife spent twenty-four hours of being entertained In the neigh­ borhood when the circus was enter- taUilug. A large afternoon reception was giv­ en for the Kendricks«-* at tbe Porter home. Mrs. Kendricks was an old friend of the major. Mrs. Atkinson assisted tn receiving. Butter was In­ vited by Mrs. Burden to open the door. She believed this to be a piece of kind consideration. Mrs. Atkinson, too, Raid that Rutt«*r would be glad to remember it when be was an ohl man. and she could not understand why he looked so morosely at the clean clothes she had with such pleasure put out on bls bed. He walked out to the woodsh«*«! aft­ er lunch, kicking bls heels sullenly and listlessly against each other, and when be came out bis eyes were red. Tbe thought of tbe .white elephant bad been too much for him. Ills fa­ ther's suggestion that It had liven whitewashed was not alleviating. Is a whitewashed elephant an everyday sight? He had visions of running away, but he knew be should not run away. He would stay, scrawling bls fingers In uncomfortable gloves and opening Por­ ter's door for dressed up and worth­ less ladles, perfectly healthy and able to do It for themselves, while amid the sawdust the opening procession was ahlning and glittering past unseen, nev­ I er to ue seen, oy me longing eyes. He observed In tbe open window Pearl and Major Porter at their dally after dinner game of "old maid.” Major Porter was not a kindergart­ ner, and be was almost Invariably "old maid." each time, with ringing shouts of glee from his victorious grandchild poised elegantly on the window sill. But today ber poise seemed less airy In Its light euse. Butter beard no shouts, and when she turned and waved her hand to him be saw that ber eyes, too. were red. Major Porter was smiting bls head with despair and chagrin at being a third time doomed to a single life and eliciting from bls opponent only a very faint smile. Was Pearl, too, not going to the cir­ cus? Far from it. For days her grandfa­ ther had been bringing home handbills amt posters; for days he had discussed with Pearl what they both should wear, what time they should start, how many glasses of lemonade they should have, whether they should look at the ani­ mals before or after the performance, and now all this was to be on the day He observed Pearl and Major Porter al their after dinner game. or the reception. There were to be only ladies at tbe reception. There was no reason why Major Porter should re­ main at home for It, and his enthusi­ asm for the circus had shown no change, no abatement. lu the presence of bls mistaken devo­ tion Pearl could not endure to confess even to her mother that her heart was torn at the thought of her new fringed sash, the gift of her aunt, and how now she could not wear it at the reception or walk around with tbe ladies. She had the dignified delicacy of many hon­ orable little girls, and she felt that it wcjuld be disloyalty to ber grandfather to acknowledge that sbe was no longer interested in the circus. Iler aunt said sbe bad cried because tbe heat made ber nervous. “She doesn't look to me able to go toting off to that hot circus, father,” sbe said, coming up to the window. "I'm afraid so,” said Mr. Porter, fol­ lowing her. "Do you care so much about It. darling?” Pearl’s eyes tilled again at this. “Oh, Snooks ’ll be all right for the circus,” said Major Porter, with hasty, blind consolation, as Pearl's mother started into the bouse with her to bathe her eyes. It was bis fixe«i belief that the circus was-the most ecstatic pleas­ ure of every child and any alternative an outrageous disappointment. “Never mind If you are not all right, pet,” said Mrs. Burden, with inspired dullness. “Here’s Butter. lie isn’t go­ ing and doesn’t want to go. He wants to see Mrs. Kendricks. And, Butter, Mrs. Kendricks has some little boys of ber own—such nice, polite little boys. I wish you could know them.” Butter looked submissive as Mrs. Burden's benevolent, unperceiving eyes were impressively fixed upon him. "Why isn’t Butter going to tbe cir­ cus?” Inquired Major Porter. Butter made no reply. "Father too busy, I guess,” pursued the major. “That It?” “Butter Is going to see Mrs. Ken­ dricks this afternoon,” replied Mrs. Burden. “He is going to open tbe door for the Indies.” Major Porter whistled. He looked suspiciously at Butter's red eyelids. "Well, how would It be to have But­ ter come along with tbe circus party this afternoon and let Mrs. Kendricks open the door for the ladies herself?" He gnve Butter a nudge under the table at this last abominably weak jest. Butter could not refrain from a smile of hope. “We’ll all get ready right away,” continu«*d tbe major. "You can get your hat. I can black my shoes. Sam ran hitch up the horses. Pearl can have a B. and S. or something, and then we'll go.” "Father,” ff’nr.’ur.-od Mrs. Bvrder In Important haste. “Mrs. Atkinson got a new suit for him especially for this. Don’t think’’— "Well. Rutter. Ijmees I’ll havy to go over and got your mother to let you • pen the door at tbe evening re«-eption. That’s the way we’ll fix It up with her." Meanwhile Mra. Porter had by in­ spiration divined tbe cause of her daughter's dlstrtws. She came back as the major was starting off. "I think Pearl would better stay with vs. father.” she said. “I really Itelieve she wishes to assist in receiv­ ing. I am going to let ber pass around the crackers.” It would seem that Providence has arranged for a variety of tastes In tbs world, fix- ou that afternoon Pearl floated airily and elegantly among groups of gloved ladles, and under the bulging, billowing tent, amid tbe odors of sawdust and the cries of lemonade men, sat Butter.

Dueling In England In 18U3 was often a very sanguinary business. On a Friday mornlug in March of that year a most extraordinary duel took place In Hyde park. Loudon, be­ tween Lieutenant W. of tbe navy and Captain J. of tbe army. Tbe antag­ onists arrived at tbe appointed pli.ee witbin a few minutes of each other. Borne dispute arose respecting tbe dis­ tance, which tbe friends of Lieutenant W. insisted should not exceed six paces, while the seconds of Captain J. urged strongly the ra «lines« of so decisive a distance and iusisted on its being ex­ tended.

The Tailor Ms des For Fall. As in other years, the first fall suits are strictly tailor made nffalrs. They are a relief to tbe eye after the over- ornamentation of the summer fro«'ks. The long skirt coats seem to have settled themselves for the winter, but they have lost even the pretense of stole or Blioulder cape. The seams are generally strapped In corset fashion. They are single breasted, with hip and breast pockets, and the V neck is sharply pointed and finished with a narrow coat llar of the material or velvet. . The extremely plain up and down ef­ fect of these tailor made suits is not be- coming to every one, so that the box plaited coats. which suit underdevel­ oped figures, will still be used. The latest of these have Immensely long skirt coats, extending almost to the hem of the skirt. They are fasten­ ed down the front as far as the waist line by silk cord loopings over a double row of buttons. These buttons are a decidedly striking feature of the suit. Mannish Materials. Happens Whea We Kaow a Name Which Escapes Va. The anatomy of the nervous system, and consequently Its physiology, was regarded In tbe past as very simple. Cayal showed that tbe specific brain cell Is an independent unit provided with multiple processes, by means of which it Is capable of acting not through one nerve alone, but several. Tills independent brain unit or cell Is call.-d a neuron. A simple Illustration of how the neuron works Is furnished by our not Infrequent hunt for a name or an Idea which we know we possess. We feel that the name Is there, but we cannot recall it. We get various names near it, beginning even with tbe same letter or the same vowel sound, yet only after minutes or even hours does it actually occur to us. What Is supposed to happen is that the particular cell of Intellection which we are using throws out its process among the cells of memory for names, and though this process is brought in connection with «tells containing sim­ ilar names. It Is only after a more or less prolonged search that It lilts on the right one. It Is as If the telephone op­ erator in the central office felt around blindly for the connection wanted, and only after putting the plug into various holes eventually struck tbe proper one. —Dr. Joseph Walsh In Booklovers Magazine. The Missive Lead Peaells. What becomes of the lead pencils Is as lnsolvable a problem as what be­ comes of plus. No one ever really uses up lead pencils; no one drinks them, so to speak, to the very dregs, unless it Is one of those admirable people who keep journals and cash accounts and who usually carry a sort of penholder arrangement In which they insert a half length pencil and go on and on using it and sharpening it until It Is all gone.

The mortality among babies during th» three teething years is something frightful. The census of 1900 shows that about one in every seven succumbs. The cause la apparent. With baby's bones hardening, the fontanel (opening in th« skull) closing up and Its teetL forming, all these coming at once create a demand for bone material that nearly half the little systems are deficient In. The result is peevishness, weakness, sweating, fever, diar­ rhoea, brain troubles, convulsions, etc., that prove terribly fatal. The deaths in 1900 under three years were 304,988, to say nothing of the vast number outside the big cities that were not reported, and this in the United States alone. When baby begins to sweat, worry or cry out in sleep don't wait, and the need ia neither medicine nor narcotics. What th« little system Is crying out for is more bone material.
