Nothing could exceed the enm itj
Hr. Ferris felt for Mr. Deri* unless
H was the hatred Mr. Daria har
bored toward Mr. Fem e.
Until the oecupancj o f the Iona
untenanted house acroaa the street
by Serena Fairlie and her mother
these two men had been dose and
conatant friends. Each night Mr.
Ferria went to the house o f Mr.
Daria or Mr. Daria went to the
house o f Mr. Ferria to smoke and
conrenhtionally regulate the affairs
o f the nation.
Not even the fact that each of
these boasted a particularly well
kept lawn in front of his residence
was sufficient to cause jealousy be
tween them. So the late bellicose
condition was the more deplorable
by reason o f their former friend
ship.
•Mr. Ferris was a straight, stately
and ascetic looking bachelor of
forty-eight His dark brown hair
was streaked with gray. His nose
was aquiline. His eyes were like
blue steel.
A sparse mustache
drooped over thin and melancholy
lips. He was known to have a com
petence, although he occupied him
self with the conduct of a real es
tate office. He ■ lived alone
for the presence o f a deaf old aunt
and a still more deaf old servant
The house was furnished with ref
erence to what was then considered
the artistic standard. Mr. Ferris
himself was accredited with a pretty
taste in poetry and was given to
quoting extracts on occasion.
Mr. Davis was a jolly widoper of
fifty winters that had been, however,
like those o f Adam, “ frosty, but
kindly.” He was short o f stature,
round, rosy, amiable," fair haired
and bland. Elis children were mar
ried and gone. He bowed to the
sway o f a housekeeper who had seen
better days and who was not averse
to frequently proclaiming the fact.
H is tastes, while less aesthetic than
those o f his neighbor, were decided
ly more conducive to personal com
fo r t
In fact, he and Ferris were in
every way sufficiently unlike to have
got on admirably together were it
not that with the advent o f the
Fairlies both began to cast covet
ous eyes upon one bright particular
star.
And their mutual dread each that
the other might win the favor of
Miss Serena was the real root of
the animosity which inspired Mr.
Ferris and animated Mr. Davis.
Not that up to the time that the
black curtain of silent wrath de
scended between them either had
made confidential mention o f his
hopes, but certain it was thst the
morning after Miss Fairlie had at
tended the concert with Mr. Ferris
Mr. Davis resented the presence of
the dog o f Mr. Ferris on his front
lawn and sent word to that gentle
man to keep his cur at home.
Equally certain it is that fkbee-
uent to the occasion when Miss
'airiie danced twice with Mr. Davis
Mr. Ferris sent due warning that if
his neighbor’ s hens again intruded
upon his property they would be
promptly decapitated.
Then the deaf aunt and the deaf
er servant o f Mr. Ferris and the
housekeeper of Mr. Davis who had
seen better days tool! up the feud,
and so from the little acorn o f rival
ry sprang a lofty and far branching
tree.
Perhaps there was no one who
stood so absolutely within the
shadow cast bv this tree as Frank
JHeatherly, who was the nephew of
Mr. Davis and was clerk in the real
estate office o f Mr. Ferris.
He was a well set up young fellow
o f about thirty, who had a wonder
ful knack o f knowing what not to
say and when not to say it, for both
men confided in him, and after it
became known fhat Miss Fairlie had
fallen heir to a snug legacy each
announced to Frank his decision to
bring his matrimomnial campaign
to a climax.
“ The money has nothing to do
with my resolution,” Mr. Ferris de
clared. “ Apart from this business
and otherproperty.
I possess “stocks
«
W hat are you smiling at?”
“ Did I smile, sir?”
“ I don’t care a dash for her
money I” Mr. Davis informed his
nephew. “ My rents bring me in
quite a sum yearly. What are you
grinning about ?”
“ I shall ask her the night of the
spring dancfe,” Mr. Ferris decided.
"N o girl in her senses would consid
er that fat old widower when she
might have mef”
**11101 skinny old bachelor hasn’t
the ghost o f a show!” Mr. Davis as-
i
sured Frank. T i l ask her the nigh*
o f the spring dance 1”
The eventful night came— a re
splendent night. The elite o f the
town streamed into the clubhouse.
Lights shone from every window.
Merry waits music set young feet
tapping.
The sound o f joyous
voices was everywhere.
And Serena Fairlie, graceful, gra
cious, good to look upon, her brown
gold hair shining in the light, her
es gleaming like topazes, her
immering gown of black just
flecked with glowing orange, was in
herself an entrancing apparition.
Mr. Ferris secured the first dance.
Mr. Davis, puffing up belated, eager-
ly appropriated the second. The
Test were already blurred out by
cabalistic initials.
“ I call this unkind discrimina
tion!” panted Mr. Daria But Se
rena Fairlie only laughed.
Mr.
Ferris whisked her away, and there
was a sardonic gleam in his eyes
as they rested on the lugubrious
countenance o f Mr. Davis.
The dance done, Mr. Ferris
promptly led his partner to the con
servatory.
“ Dear Miss Serena,” began Mr.
Ferris fervently, “ I have long ad
mired that noble sentiment, ‘Once
to every man and nation comes the
moment to decide’ ” —
“ Isn’t it warm?” asked Miss Se
rena, moving toward the window.-
“ And,” continued Ferris, follow
ing, “ I ’ve always admired that ex
quisite sentiment, ‘Tw o souls with
but a single thought’ ” —
Serena gave him a. smile of. ex
quisite leniency and looked out at
the spangled sky. Ah, sweet were
comprehension and sympathy! His
lyrie instinct soared once more.
“ I’m leading up to. an avowal,
dear Miss Serena. I prefer to let
the g-r-eat poets speak for me. It
is Owen Meredith who sings:
S
"B ut I will m any my o w i drat toe«,
W ith her blush rose face, for old thin*»
" I f you only knew,” murmured
Serena, with sweetest reproach,
“ how much I object to being re
ferred to as— an old thing!”
There was a fusillade o f panic
stricken apologies.
“ Miss Serena, our dance, I be
lieve.” And Mr. Davis triumphant
ly led Miss Fairlie out upon the pol
ished floor. A b the dance ended he
spoke with a directness that almost
startled Serena.
“ Maybe Frank told you I was go
ing to ask you to marry me... Well,
I was— I do— I am. I can’t «ling
poetry like Ferris, but if you’ll say
the word” —
Miss Fairlie smiled sweetly. “ I’m
flattered,” she said, “ but I can’t, you
see, for I ’m going to marry Frank.”
That young man came hurrying up.
His eager eyes were bent on Serena.
His audacious arm encircled her
waist. He spoke with ardor.
“ Our waltz, dearest,” he said.
As Davis started blankly after
them a hand gently touched his arm.
“ Come home,” counseled Ferris.
“ Frank has told me just now that he
was- engaged to the girl before the
Fairlies came here to live. I’ve some
fine madeira in my cellar— can’ t be
b ea t”
Davis met the extended hand—
and gripped it hard.
“ Good b oy! Y ou smoke the same
mixture, I dare say. Got a lot from
town this morning. 0 Lord, what a
pair of old fools we’ ve been!”
They glanced back as they de
scended the steps. The illuminat
ed hall was a kaleidoscope o f whirl
ing figures.
Ferris spoke, his voice not a little
wistful.
“ The dear ffiiung fools!” he said.
“ God bless them!” said Davis.
Ja p a n ««« Buddhists.
Japanese Buddhists have a word,
“ nazoraeru,” which is translated by
the dictionaries as “ to imitate,” but
it has the esoteric meaning of “ to
substitute in imagination one ob
ject or action for another, so as to
bring about some magical or mirac
ulous result.” An example o f this
is laying a pebble before the ima
of Buddha to show that you wou
like to build a temple in his honor
if yeu were rich enough and mak
ing a bookcase revolve which con
tains the 6,771 volumes o f the Bud
dhist canon and earnestly wishing
that you had time to read them, by
which you acquire the same merit
in the eyes o f heaven as if you did
read them.
8 « Ho Didn’t W a its It.
A little bov went to Sunday
school for the first time. His moth
er gave him a nickel to put in the
collection box. When he returned
he had a sack o f candy.
“ Where did you get the candy?”
asked his mother.
“ From the stand around the cor
ner.”
"But what did you buy it with ?"
“ With the nickel you gave ma.”
“ But thst was for Sunday school.”
“ Well,” replied the boy, *1 didn’t
need it. The minister met me at
the door and got me in free.” —

Tiny S iru itN That Attash
PrMh Water Fish.
Scarcely any species of fresh water
Osh Is free from the attacks o f the jit-
lie diakllke tlsh flea. Its flattened,
ish body be Ins pressed doss
the skin of the flsb.
The to called fish louse Is
uor louse, but s member o f a
to
group of crustaceans, well
datura lUta for the parasitic habit o f
moat of Its members.
It is far from having reached thg ulti
mate degeneration of the chronic par
asite. however, and often forsakes Ma
victim to enjoy tbs pleasures o f the
free.
I have watched the fish fleas
tbwe excursions Into the open
apparently engaged In their
tiny greenish disks dashing hither and
thither la direct course, divine
ly downward or upward or t
and over In a serisa of
saults. which have been reckimod to
number some hundred a minute.
Should a flsb flea wish to rajeia a
beet It approaches until It la caught
up In the swirl of water which accom
panies the movement o f the fish, and.
so soon as It touches. It lays quick hold
upon the skin of Its victim by a pair of
peculiar sucker organs, placed on the
under surface near the mouth.—London
