Going to where Tom Peyton is dili fntly weediuj;, CirUelda takes him to task. "Why didn't you tell me your sister was the sweetest woman on earth?" de mands the, in quite an acsrieved tone. "Ueeause she isn't." ays Tom. striv ing with a ttiant dock that has treacher ously conceaied itself beneath the spread ing leaves of a masniacent dahlia; "you re that." "NoLs.-use!" says CSrUelda: and then. "Oh. Tom! what dn you think she is join;; to d. at oni-e? She is pom? to make an effort to induce Vnele (irepory to let Vera and me stay with her at The Friars!

For a moment the two men gsze blankly into each other's eyes. "What is tae meaning of this masque rade?" demands lysart presently with an angry frown: "what brings vou here, Peyton, in that dress, and riith my cousin ':" "You certainly have every right to k." scys Peyton, with a rueful giance at his dar.mato.-y clothing, "but surely you might guess the answer. The fact I. I'm in love!" U(. makes this con fession with a careful artlessaesa not to be surpassed. "In love?" exclaims Iysart. frowning itill more darkiy. "Quite so," amiably; "five fathoms deep. And your father being so S,PX. clusivv." making a hard light for a civil word. "I couldn't manage to see her in any orthodox fashion, so I took service hre." "Her? whom?" asks Dysart, changing color. A sudden light Sashes into his eyes; to hini. as to Tom Peyton, there is but one "her" in the world. "Why. Cri.elda." says the latter, as if amazed at the other's stupidity. "And what do you suppose will be the opshot of all tlii.-V" steruiy. "That, my dear fellow, is what I have never yet gone iuto. But marriage. I bope." "Pshaw!" says Pysart, impatientlv; 'Vnd what of Uriselda?" "Griselda has confessed that she likes me a little. I say. Itysart," with a sud den change of tone, "you won't tell vour dad-eh?" "I am much more likely to tell your lister," says Seaton, augsiiy. "You needn't. She knows. She was here just now. and is full of a desire to kidnap (iri.eida and carry her away to The Friars. . I ay, Pysart, my sister de pends upon you to make your governor Kive his consent to the giris noinr on a isit to her, you won't disappoint her. et?" "I'ii do what I can." praveiy; "but I ahouidn't advise you to be too sanguine as to the result of my interference." True to his word. Seaton managed, af ter a hard fight, to secure -his father's consent that Vera and Griseida might pay a two weeiia' Tiait to Lady Kivers daie. It i quit" Eve o'clock when they ar rive and enter the spacious hall of The Friars, that now is filled with a delicate, kouiber light. A crin.son stream from a painted window, somewhere in the dis tance, casts a flood of glory, blood-red. at Vera's fe-t. and a comfortable tinkling of spoons clinking against china smites their ears. At the top of the room, reclining in a rather listless fashion on nitue velvet cushions, are two little girls, qvte lovely enough to arrest the gaxe of any casual observer. They have given in to the cu riosity attendant on the entrance of the new ituests. and fix their large wide eyes on Vera, who, in turn, looks back on tbem with a certain interest. Lady Kiveradaie, by a word an in tensely proud, fond word had intimated that they were her children. The young er, taking her courage in both hands, lip her little slim fingers under the "era!" Roth children repeat the wor w ith a sort of gratiti.-atiou. "Hut ' '.! us you hare another name, haven't you ?" "I'ysart." confesses she. softly. "Why. that's Seaton s name." cries P !'y, brightening, and looking up at the tall young man who is standing near them: "isn't it. Seaton? Why. you must be something to him. Sister eh?" "No." says Vera, shaking her head. "You can't be his mother?" hazards the younger child, uncertainly. Vera luugr lightly. "No," she says again. "I have it! I know it!" exclaims Polly the wise, glancing up triumphantly; "you are his wife!" This innocent bombshell spreads dis may in the camp. "Who is that pretty little girl over there?" Vera asks, with a wild longing to change this embarrassing conversa tion, pointing to where the girl who had tirt attracted her is sittiug, "quite oppo site, iu the red-and-white gown? Do you see her?" "Oh! that is Mary Butler. Don't you know her? Everybody knows Mary But b'r. We love her, so does everybody else." "Mamma says Seaton does," says lit tle Flossy, mi!d!y; "perhaps that's why he won't marry you." "It was true, then," thinks Vera. A great sense of disgust rises up within her, swallowing all other thoughts. And yet he would have fcrsworn himself! Would have uny, he would do so still. Oh, the shamelessness of it! Perhaps something of her secret scorn communicates itself to him, because even in the midst of his apparently engross ing conversation he lifts his head abrupt ly and his eyes seek hers, and read them as though he would read her soul. And then a curious light flashes into his face. He makes a movement, quick ungoverned. as though he would rise and go to her, but, even as he does so, some one steps out from the shadows bemad her. and, bending over her, holds out his hand a young man, tall, well favored, smiling, with an air about him of sud deu. warm delight. "You remember me?" he says, so dis tinctly that Seaton can hear him across the room. To think that I should have the happiness of meeting you here to dayand after so many vain inquiries. How it brings back the past to see you. Venice. Home, that last carnival. Vera, say you are glad to see me!" Some people walking past them, and suddenly standing still, obliterate them from Seaton's view, but when next he looks the stranger is sitting beside her, and Vera, with flushed cheeks and bril liant eyes, full of an unmistakable wel come, is murmuring to him in low, soft tones. "Who is ;he man talking to my cousin?" asks Seaton. indicating Vera's companion by a slight gesture, and "peaking in a tone so changed that Miss Butler involuntarily lifts her head to look at him. "Lord Shelton," she says. "George Sandes he was. Don't you know him? Great hunting man. tie came in for the title about eight months ago. That brought him back from his big game iu the Lut." CHAPTER XVI. In the last four days Peyton has mys teriously disappeared, no one knows whither, except perhaps Griselda, his sis ter and two others. "North" he was go ing, he said to inquiring friends. IVday, however, he has turned up again, admira bly dresstd as ever, and as radiant as a good conscience should make any man. "Pin so glad Tom has got back in time," says Griselda. "I quite feared Pncle Gregory would be too manv for I him. Vera, what makes you look like ! that, darling? Now tell rue what it is 1 t'l it )m s rimi.tVAsl v., 1, " "1 must be mad to be annoyed," says Vera, with angry self-contempt. "Seaton again?" "It is always Seaton," with an increase of her irritation, "when it isu't his fath er. Was there no other path into which fate could have flung me, except this? Yes. it is Seaton." "But why think so much about him? He cannot interfere with you now, be his father never so persistent in his idea of marrying yoj to him, because all the world can see he U as good as engaged to Miss Butler." "I pity her. then, with all my soul! What a family to enter! She is too good to be sacrificed so cruelly. I believe he is employed by his father to watch me, to report all that I ay or Ah!" she breaks eff abruptly, and poinu almost triumphantly to the pathway outside, where indeed Seaton stands. That it is one of the most public walks at The Friars, that Seaton might have, nay. indeed has, come this way without intention of any kind she does not allow henself to believe. "I told you," she says, vehemently, "it is to spy upon my every action he U here! Oh, fool that I was, to dream of being free for even these few days!" Sue has come a step or two forward; a scarlet tide of indignant humiliation has dyed her cheeks. Siie still point toward Seaton with one trembling hand, while be, advancing slowly, looks with some anxiety from her to Griselda, who is sore ly troubled, as if to demand an explana tion. "I think you mnt be mistaken, dar ling," she says, nervously, laying her baud upon her sister's arm. "I feel sure Seaton would not undertake the part you have assigned him. Seaton, speak to her; tell ber it is impossible that yon should do this thing." "What thing? Of what does she c cuse mm?' hit brew grWLng dark. "She Imagines or, of course. It is all a mistake but she has somehow got it into her head that you are here to to watch her." "Is that how it strikes you?" says be. slowly; a sudden, short, miserable laugh breaks from him. "So that is how you look at it? Great heaven, to think how 1 have loved you such as you so poor a thing! It shames me now to think of it!" He d:aws his breath sharply, though she writhes. "No, you sbali hear un-1 1 have heard much from you, first and last this shall be the last. I swear! Here, even low, in this moment when I Cad you so altogether contemptible a creature, it is my misery to know that I s:i!i love you! I;:y after day you have heaped insults upon me. Y'our every look has been an an rout. I have said too much." he continues, wearily; but with a little eloquent gesture she renders him silent. "Oa. not too much, hut perhaps enough" she smiles again, that ' cruel smiie that hurts him like the sharpest stale-"surely it would be hard to expect you to hud another insult to-day. To morrow, perhaps. And uow let me say oue little word. Have 1 no cause to doubt you?" "None, none!" declares he, vehemently. Siie throws out her bands with a lit tle expressive movement. "I leave that to your own conscience, to your own sense of right and wrong, ' she shrugging her ahroulders, finely, once for all," raising her voice throwiug up her head, "I warn Bather than marry you," making a slight gesture of horror. "I would accept the urst man that asked me!" A faint rustle among the bushes out side, a footstep aad Lord Shelton steps into view. "I hold you to your word." cries he. gayly; he steps lightly within the flower crowned archway, and looks straight at Vera. He is smiling, hut underneatn the smile lies a longing to be taken serioasly. "You give me a chance," he says; "I here, before witnesses, declare myself a suitor for your hand" his expression is still wavering betwixt mirth and gravity, and he holds out to her both his hands. "You are not. however, the first to ask her," says Dysart, in a voice vibrating with many and deep emotions. His brow is black, and auger fights for mastery with despair in his dark eye. Vera, pale as death, but with a little indignant frown, steps between the two men. "What does It all mean?" she asks, contemptuously; "would you make a tra gedy out of a farce? If so, at least be good enough to assign me no part in it." She sweeps both men out of her path by a slight imperious gesture, and pass ing them, walks swiftly away in the di rection of the house.

Of course, the phonograph is Hot a talking machine, because it merely gives off a record that has already ben made upon a cylinder by an actual human voice. Dr. Marage's machine, however, creates the vowel sounds at first hand. This machine, as will be seen by the Illustration, has been constructed so as to reproduce the interior of a person i mouth whiie pronouncing the differeut vow els, using the plastic substance employed by dentists. These false mouths, as it were, are made of plaster of paris and are fitted to sirens giving the appropriate combinations of sounds. Dr. Marage then sets his machine in operation, and the vowels Ere produced synthetically. Lr. Marage purposes to modify the steam sirens used on shipboard so that they will imitate the vowel souuds. Thus different phonetic syllables may be obtained which may be used as an international alphabet. IN A MORALIZING MOOD. He Learns Very Little A boat the United States. It has been frequently remarked that the Filipinos could have no conception of the extent and resources of the Uni ted Suites or they never would have been deceived Into the hallucination that they could successfully combat us. In going through their school here I found a little manuscript volume in which, in less than a hundred manu script pages, w as comprised all of syn tax and geography that was taught the children here. And It must be remem bered that Malolos, before the insur rection, was an important city in this part of the world, and one where the children would be expected to receive the average education. Turning to one of the pages in this book that 1 picked up, I found the United States of Amer ica discoursed upon, immediately after Nigrieia, and just before Mexico. Here is the entire lot of Information given as to the United States, in the form of questions and answers: "Where Is this country (the United Statesi situated? In North America. "What are Iu boundaries? To the north, British America; to the east, the Atlantic ocean and the Bahama chan nel; to the south, the Strait of Florida and the Gulf of Mexico, and to the west, Mexico and the Grande (Pacific) ocean. "What Is the form of government? It is a federal republic. "Of what is this republic composed? Of forty different States. "What are its rivers and mountains? The most notable rivers are the Mlsv isipl (literal spelling), the Niagara, the Missori ingain the literal spelling), the Colorado and the St. Lawrence, and the principal mountains are the Cumber land aiid Hookies. "What is the capital? Washington, but the most important city is New York. "Protestantism prevails, but there are Catholic archbishops." And this is the sum total of what the average Filipino boy has been taught about our rather considerable and somewhat prosperous country. Manila Letter in Leslie's Weekly. The Children Hove a Hurd Time of It According to This. How useful children are! When I am Hi-tempered I don't swear any more I simply spank one of the children, says a writer in the Yellow Book. Now don't sneer aud set me down as a mean, contemptible man. You do It yourself. If you have any children, and if you have not you hate them all on general principles. Come down off your pedestal. Illustrious sir or madam, and analyze your actions with an X ray. There, now, didn't I tell you so? That conscience of yours doesn't look very well in print, does It? However, let us return to our chil dren. They are just as useful when we are In a self-satistled mood. When I feel like swelling out my manly bos om and am nearly bursting with pride I don't talk about myself ns I used to. I Just blow about the children and make myself disagreeable without laying myself open to the charge of conceit. And what slaves children are! From morning till night they are bossed around by everybody from their mighty father down through the descending scale of elder brothers and sisters, ser vants, neighbors, tradesmen, street cleaners, policemen, to their own moth ers. Think of the "Dou'ts" a small boy bears In one day. All the books "Ion't" ever published wouldn't make up the sum of "Don'ts" my small boy hears in the waking hours of any twenty four. How in the world he ever accom plishes anything. In spite of such an avalanche of "Kon'ts" I fall to see. But he does, sturdy little Titan that he Is. Behold him now. He Is playing foot ball with his baby sister in the title role. 1 suppose I ought to stop and yell "Pou't" at him. But there, his mother has saved tne the trouble. And bnby sister is madder at the Interrup tion than he is. How essentially femi nine! The same chord has been touch ed that makes a woman mad when you interrupt her husband while he is beat lug her.

They glared at each other. "Say." said Mr. Mixer, "let's get the Hammond boys to go with us to the vacant lot back of my bouse and I'll show you just where you are off your base." "Agreed," said Mr. Briggs. Ten minutes later Mr. Mixer with a bat In his band was facing Ted Ham mond In the vacant lot. "Gimme a slow one about here," said Mr. Mixer, as he indicated a height from the ground of some three feet. Along came the ball a slow and aggra vating twister. Mr. Mixer smlliugly awaited It. Then he hauled back and swathed a great gash in the innocent atmosphere. "One strike," yelled Bud Hammond, who held the sphere in his big mitt.
