'I havo been waiting for you, Itupert," Desdemona McCafferywas a witching strawberry blonde with dreamy brown eyes and a large, luxuriant foot that at tracted attention wherever she went. Careless aud trifling in mast things, and and little recking whether she hadpio or radishe3for breakfast, her love forBu pert Hetherington was the ono absorb ing passion of her life. "When ho was by her side life was like a beautiful day in June. "I am never unhappy when you are with ine, darling,' she said, nestling her head on Itapert's sheulder: "but when you are away everything is dreary, and dismal, and forlorn. Did it never occur to you of what antagonistic emotions the life of woman is made up?" 4,It never did," replied Bupert. "I have been too busy this week trying to figure up how I came out in those pools that Ben Worsley sold mo on the Capitals of Salem. For an instant there was silence. The shriek of the Telephone and tho bleat of a calf on the hillside wero the only sounds they heard. Present Iv Desdemona spoko again. "But it is so. Bupert," she said. Flamo and ice, poison and perfume, smiles and tears, roses and upas, passion and abnegation these are what tho gods cast into the caldron from which camo woman' "But your sex is fickle, is it not?" said Rupert." "You know the old saying 'Woman, thy name is Flaherty.'" Desdemona looked at him steadily a moment. "I presume you refer," she said, in cold, better-come-in-before-your-ears-are frozen tones, "to the line which reads: 'Frailty, thy name is woman.' " "I guess likely,' was tho reply, "but I really can not see why women should buck-jump around so much." "It is because you do not understand their nature. A woman loves some man with a mad, unreasoning love. She is only a girl a frail, passionate, moody girl, whose") heart is a lute for every wind to piny upon; who is swayed by lovo and honor like any reed; who in the sleepless midnights looks renunciation in the face, with dry eyes: who walks hand-in-hand with n sorrow that might so easily woar tho stars of joj-" and with a convulsive sob breaking from her lips the girl turned to enter tho house. Itupsrt stopped her. "You nre off your feed, my darling," ho said, in tho low, musical tones ho knew so well bow to uso when a woman's lovo was to bo won or the unexpected advent of three aces in a jack-pot announced. "You will he better in tho fall, sweetheart the golden tinted fall when the Salem association gets out those beautiful mezzo-tinted posters announcing its annual soiree of livo stock." "Do you really think so, Itupert?" tho girl asks, putting her arms around him with a wistful, how-do-yon-think-j-ou'd-feel-if-papa-was-to-heave-in-sight look. "Why, of course 1 do, niy angel," ho replies bending over to kiss her onco for tho cigars. "And would you do anything in your power to make mo happy?" and again the yearning, anxious, somebody-hold-thc-dog expression came into tho dusky 63'es from which the tears aro welling. "My love," ho says, speaking slowly, and with an earnestness that shows how grave tho subject is to him, "you know that lor your dear sake 1 would bravo any danger, mako any sacrifice that man can make. You know that j-our happi ness is mine, that to win a smile from your sweot face sheol could furnish no torture I would not endure; yon know that in a pinch I would oven " "bnongul" said Desdemona, a glad smile fluttering on her -lips; "I will test your love.' 'Do so, was Kupert's rem v. "Let me prove mj love as tho crusaders of old did. by some noble, manly action. I am ready for the test, no matter how terriblo it may be;' nud his pure young face lighted up with a rapturous John-Sher man-on-the-Occident-balcony smile. JJCdemona kissed uim tenderly. 'r knew you would not fail mo, my own truo love," she murmured. You may bring them to tho houso this evening.' "Bring what?" asked Rupert. I do not understand you." "You will catch on before the summer is over," came tho reply, in clear, incisivo tones. "I mean two boxes of raspber ries." and tho beautiful girl .stepped into the house. With a dull pain at his heart Rupert went away. "I'm o'er young to marry," he said sof tly to himself, "and too lux uriantly fly to begin lurying raspberries in June.'' Fr-OJH "Tuffy," by Clms.

"Good morning, sir," said a woman, whose faco looked like a boiled salmon, with a pickax nose, and a voico that sounded liko a far away echo from the housetops as she addressed a young man who tiembled as he viewed her stern vis age. "What I want to see yon for, is to ask if yen aro an Odd Fellow that is if you belong up yonder?' and sho nodded her head toward a building from vhich he had just emerged. He meekly replied. "I do madam." "Well," said she, "my man says he is one of you, and I want yon to tell niG if he is an inside watchman, and has been appointed for COO nights to watch tho jewels? And do you have six meetings n week. And does he have to crawl through some of them in the daytime, and lose a day's work trying to be a noddle grand, or a past grand burglar, or some such name as be tells me of ?" The yonng man said that sho must have been misinformed, that there was something wrong, but sho interupted him with. "There, you neednt try to play smart. I understand all about this grip business, and silent secrecy and mum passwords, you can't fcol mo! Y'ou wouldn't tell me for a farm in Seekonk, would you? I don't suppose you would tell mo" when raj' husband comes homo with a hairpin in his toot and a lody's collar on, instead of his own, whether he has been taking a llebekah decree or been at a surprise partyr Oh, no, you're innocent, you nre. Tho young Odd Fellow ventured to re mark that he did not really understand tho drift of tho inquiry. "Oh, no; I sco its no use; you're all in for each other, and you'd say the broken earring I found in his pocket belonged to you, wouldn't you? And if I should ask yon who Araminta is that I caught him talking to himself about, you'd say it was the goat you pretended to ride; and if I should ask you about this mutterinc I hear of 'I pass' 'order it up' set 'm up and give mo another hot one,' and all that sort of thing, I supposo you'd say it was all connected with yourhifalntin de grees and necessary to tho order." Tho young man meekly replied, as ho tried to move away, that ho was in a hur ry; that perhaps Brother Backup would give all tho necessary information; that ho could not really understand but sho caught him up beforo ho could finish tho sentence, "No, you don't understand Oh, no! You wouldn't tell me for a pan of doughnuts what kind of laws you make, that says a woman shan't bo a daughter of Becky, merely because sho's got a wart on her nose. That's what ho tells me, and then ho says I should havo a medical examination, and that tho last woman in has to wash tho dishes, when they have thoso stuffing jubilees. Oh, yes, it's all very nice to leave your poor wifo at home on account of a wartand sore heel, but I am going to find out this business. I am going to find out whether ono man can hold nil the offices through the year, and set up six nights in the week and tell his wifo sho can't bo a Itebeknh, and bo on insido sentiment, or whatever you call 'em, just on account of a httlo thing liko that. I won't trouble you any longer, as probably you want to pass and 'set 'era up somewhere, but I'll watch that chap of mine, and it I find there is too much goat it, I'll forget that I am a woman and if I don't mako his head look like a double-humped bunion, and ha'll have to wear my wash tub over it for tho next three months," and she slid into tho nearest grocery and bought a dozen pickies and a stove lifter.
