At- Mrs. I Ellingham's suggestion, prompted by Kdith, Mrs. (irosvenor told Jack that there were only children in the Kfling ham family, and for that evening the young lady appeared with her hair hanging nnconflned down her back and robed In a becoming snow white dress, the skirt of which reached only midway between her knees and her ankles.

'.and and pressed it pressure went straight In- n.. to his heart. Mr. Kenworthy carried away with him a very attractive picture, a young girl in short dresses, with her hair down her back and withal sullicieiitly developed both physically and In tellectually to please one who h id come to manhood. Moreover, the picture did not fade. The fancy once caught Is very tenacious. Kenworthy did not go to see Fdith again, for he could find no valid excuse to visit a child, hut tmt a day passed without his see ing tier in his mind's eye. One day she received a note from htm saying that he had thoroughly tested his new aeroplane nnd was ready to keep his promise to give her brother an airing, tie would start from a Held in which stood the shed covering tils machine the next after noon at 3 o'clock. When that hour arrived a boy jumped the fence and strode toward the aeronaut. On reach ing Kenworthy he sajl that his sister. I'.ilith ntliugliam. iiad sent him. saying that he would be taken up In an aero plane. "You're the image of your sister, only you are dark and she Is light. Are you twins?" "Yes." faltered the boy. (iiiaillng un der tlie Inipiisitive gaze. Ken worthy's mind eing intent on his preparations for his flight, he turned away and when they were completed Invited the boy to a seat beside him. They rose slowly, the latter holding to the machine with a grip which If strong enough would have crushed it. The aeronaut cast a glance aside and noticed that the hand was white and shapely. But one guid ing n machine rislug higher and higher has no time for other observation than those connected with his flight, and Jack having a neck at risk be sides his own felt an extra amount of responsibility resting upon his shoul ders. Ills companion sat still, display ing no fear, but feeling a great terror. The hills and the houses grew smaller and smaller below them and thin seemed hung upon nothing. The a!r which had been quiet below was blustering above, and suddenly the machine tilted like a bird changing Its course. A suppressed cry escaped the boy. "I've kept my promise to your sis tor." said .lack, "and I think we had better descend." No objection being raised, the aero mmt begau the descent. All went well till Ihev were w'thln IKi feet of the ground from which they started, when something snapped and the speed of the propellers was visibly reduced. It was evident from the aeronaut's mid den pnMIng iipiui levers that something had happened. Indeed, he found It necessary to glide on an incline down upon the earth lie succeeded In do ing so. and when the machine stopped running on Its wheels the arms of his boy passenger were clasped tightly around hi neck. II" uncheped them, and then found that the boy had fainted Kenworthy to"k 111 ii in his a nns and laid him on the grass Thinking to rouse him. he ripped open Id Jacket and unloosened his collar. The secret was out. or. rather. It be gin to come out. for though .lack knew the boy was a girl he did not know n great many other thing that he learn eil aft'Tward That was his last trip In an aeroplane lldith Kflingham in her own appropriate costume as young woman, after a courtship, con sented to lie his wife, but only on con dition that he would never sit In an iii'i-i'iilaiie again.

TNat Much at Least the Actor-Critie VVaa Forced to Admit. John Hare, the Knglish actor, once went to see one of Heerhohm Tmc's infrequent pcri'oi i-.ances of Hamlet, lie won!. I willingly have avoided Tree for s mie little time afterward for reasons obvious to others who, like him, had seen this least, impressive of diis actor's roles. Hare chivalrously remained in his box to the end of the play. As the curtain descended on each act he had dreaded the invitation of his fellow player to his dressing room, where the usual courtesies would have been expected. Act by act slipped by without any word from the stage, and Hare grew : proportionately relieved. As the last curtain fell, however, and Hare retired from the box he found a messenger at the door with Mr. Tree's compliments, and wouldn't he come home for a bite of supper with some friends? At table Hare parried opening after opening, yet not once did Tree refer directly to his Hamlet. Hare on his part dreaded every break in , the conversation would bring the dreaded topic. After a decent time ; he drew away from table to go I home. Tree accompanied him to ; the hall to put on his coat. "Xow's i my hour," thought Hare. Xot one word from Tree. They shook hands on the threshold, and Hare started ' down the steps in happy relief. Tree followed him to his carriage. Hare j heard him in dread. Still the topic ; was avoided. Tree, with cordial courtesy, opened the door. Hare I slipped into the cushions of the car ! riage, joyfully heard the door slam and drew a deep sigh. ; Hut before the horses started Tree's head was in at the window, and he said, with blighting suavity: "At least, John, you'll admit it's a good play." Largest Grave In the World. The largest single grave in the world occupies just exactly one acre of ground, which is surrounded by an iron railing. This enormous grave is located at Puerto Cortez, in Honduras, and is the burial place of a woman. The tombstone occu pies the center of the ground in closed, and several wooden figures representing the deceased are ar ranged in statue-like form in differ ent parts of the ground. There are sixteen of these figures, which in the evening give the place a ghostlike appearance. The deceas ed had died rich and in her will had specified the amount of ground to be purchased for her grave and the manner in which it should be decorated. She had many curious notions, and the size and ornamen tation of her grave were among them. iihr Accurate In Every Detail And Invaluable To Any Person Engaged In Business The FIcalfl Map Company, of Port land, has recently submitted to busincs people of Kali m proofs of the combina tion plat of Salem and vicinity and so well pleased Were the local men th;it many of thorn doubled and, in some in--tanr-es, trebled their orders. 0.
