With Tessa
As Proxy.
By JEROME S PRAGUE

Tessa," mild Miss Mason, with de
cision, "you are not making that bed
properly."
Tessa, tucking In the sheet of the
doll's bed, rained limpid, inquiring
eyes.
"I told you I wanted hospital cor
ners." Tessa wavered, curled a small red
lip and overflowed.
"Don't cry oh, Tessa, don't cry!"
MUs Mason expostulated as the small
pink aproned atom flung herself at full
length on the floor.
Tessa did not move.
"Well, I shall have to let Mary
Brannlgan do It." said Miss Mason.
Mary Brannlgan and Tessa Votoldl
being sworn rivals In (he affections of
the settlement teacher, the small Ital
lan raised a calculating eye. Mary,
erery red curl bobbing, every freckle
radiant, already had bold of one corner
of the Infinitesimal sheet
Then Mary pulled and Tessa pulled.
"Perhaps you'd better let Tessa fin
ish It, Mary," aald the teacher weakly.
Mary blazed wrathfully. "Aw, she
don't know how!"
"Oh, well." Miss Musou sighed, "see
If you can make It, Mary. Tessa can
watch you and tell you if you don't do
it properly."
Tessa, sobbing a soft accompatuV
ment to Mary's bed making, squealed
suddenly:
"She's gotta the hem ont-a ilde."
"uu. Mary," said Mlsa Mason re
proachfully, "I thought you could do
It."
"An I can," said Mary, "bat I
won't," and straightway, like a small
fury, she tore the bed to pieces and
flung the mattress on the floor.
The twenty small girls of the little
housekeepers' class looked at the teach
er with expectant eyes.
"Oh, Mary!" quavered Miss Mason.
She felt uuequnl to discipline. It was
ren
in your arms a little child that you
bad saved and you were beautiful"
"Oh, that was Tessa." Miss Mason
said quickly, "the morning the firs en
gine horses ran away. It was a won
der we weren't both killed.''
"I saw you for the first time, and I
knew then that I had found what I
had been looking for all my life."
Her startled eyes read the meaning
In his. "Oh, no, no," she protested, "I
am not good enough. I am rata and
frivolous and I long for the flesh-pots."
He went on steadily. "I have seen
you since then every day teaching
your little girls to be tidy and sweet
and good, and I have wondered at
your bravery when yon might be In
luxury, cool and comfortable."
"So might you," she reminded him.
"How many men of your talent and
influence would have chosen a down
town church?"
"Oh, that" be put it away lightly,
"I like it and I am a man but not
many women would do it"
Don't" she said tremulously; "don't
praise me." And she rose and went to
meet Tessa, who was coming toward
her, sobbing.
"Oh, Tessa I Crying sgalnT"
It was discovered after some ques
tioning that Tessa's conscience wss
hurting her. She was sorry, she whis
pered, that she had been bad.
'Poor baby!" Miss Mason crooned as
she gathered the small culprit In Her
arms. "Dear heart!" And the wet
cheek lay against ber own.
As they sat In the alcove the stained
glass window of the parish office
made a background of sapphire light
against which Miss Mason's fair hair
shone like a halo. Tessa, smiling and
forgiven, lay with her limpid eyes
abut
The rector, .still seated on the corner
of his desk, looked at the pair with
thoughtful eyes.
'Do you really think you would be
happy on the hotel porch?" he probed.
"It would be cool," Miss Mason said
wistfully, "but I should miss the
love," and her eyes went toward the
children playing peacefully at the end
of the room.
"Whose love?" he asked boldly.
Tessa's eyes opened sleepily. "I
love-a you!" she murmured fervently.
The eyes of the rector held the eyes
of the little teacher masterfully.
"You say it like that!" he com
manded. "Oh, I-I can't" she breathed, all
pink and white and tremulous, "but
Tessa shall be my proxy!"
When Gunpowder Was New. -
A curious feature about the evolu
tion in methods of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great nobles. Not only
did it take quite a century to familiar
ize hunters with it but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the bumble classes were the first to
use it for shooting game. Maximilian,
ardent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that be could shoot farther
and with greater accuracy with his
Crossbow than his keeper could with
the fire tube. To prove this he tells us
the well known story of a certain
chamois standing at 200 fathoms,
which, after being pronounced as too
far off by his henchniau, who was arm
ed with one of the nrstsportins firearms
mentioned In print comes tumbling
down, pierced at the first attempt by
the emperor's bolt From other sources
we learn of strict measures being
adopted to prevent poachers and "wood
loafers" using firearms, aud this at a
period when princes still used the
cumbrous crossbow and spear. It was
only in the last quarter of the six
teenth century that firearms had oust
ed other weapons for certain forms of
the chase, the deer battue being among
the latter. Gentleman's Magazine.

very hot and the room was close, and
the children had been restless and
fussy all the morning.
"Oh. Mary." she quavered again as
a young man In a panama bat and
round clerical collar poked his head
In at the window.
"Can't you and the little girls come
over and have lunch with my boys in
the parish office?" he asked.
A sigh of blissful anticipation Issued
from twenty throats.
"They have been so naughty!" Miss
Mason hesitated. "I don't know wheth
er I should let them."
Twenty pairs of eyes reproached her,
and the young rector said, "No one
ought to be naughty on such a day."
"Well, If you will promise to be very
good," Miss Mason finally decided.
And, like lion and lamb, Tessa and
Mary led a decorous procession.
The young rector's class In wood
carving were having sandwiches and
cake and lemonade, provided by the
ladles of the parish. There was a big
pitcher of lemonade, and the Ice tinkled
dellclously as the biggest boy filled
twenty glasses for the twenty little
girls.
The young rector, beaming with en
thusiasm, sat down beside the little
settlement teacher. "If s lovely work,
Mlsa Mason." he said.
Marlon shook her head. "Oh, no, it
Isn't." she said: "It's horrid. They are
' an nnirrateful. I wish I was out on a
hotel porch In my best linen frock,
with my hair marcelled and with the
waves beating a soothing accompani
ment to the conversation of some In

With a twinkle in his eye, the younf
rector asked, "Can't I masquerade as
an lntellleent masculine?"

About 8trawberries.
Many persons have wondered how
strawberries got their name. They
have been so called by Anglo-Saxon
people for hundreds of years, but no
corresponding name for them appears
la other languages. On the contrary,
their fragrance mainly is set forth In
the names by which they are called
In non-English speaking lands. The
old Anglo-Saxon form was "streaw
bertge." It seems probable that the
"straw" Is the long stem of the vine,
which runs along the ground. Some
have thought however, that In ancient
times the Anglo-Saxon berry hunters
brought the berries home or sent them
to market upon straws. The explana
tion that the word Is a corruption of
"strayberry," due to the running habit
of strawberry vines, Is believed to be
erroneous as well as that which would
derive the name from the habit of
placing straw among the plants to
keep the berries off the ground.
Coronets of dukes are adorned with
strawberry leaves, . though authorities
on heraldry insist that they are not
strawberry leaves at all, but merely
conventional leaves which popular
fancy has turned Into the foliage of
the favorite berry. However, straw
berry leaves are actually borne by the
house of Fraser of Lovat as a pun
ning allusion to the family name, since
"fralses" is French for strawberries.
The Poisonous Black Saa.
The Black sea, which in some parts
has a depth of more than (3,500 feet is
poisoned by sulphurcted hydrogen
wherever the water Is deeper than
1,200 feet. This accounts for the curi
ous fact that there Is no organic life
below that depth, excepting perhaps
some bacteria of very low order, lm-
cremated with sulphur. The causes
for this phenomenon are explained
by the quick outflow of the fresh wa
ter through the Bosporus, while salt
water coming from the Mediterranean
enters through a deeper current Into
the depths of the Black sea. The wa
ters on the surface are, therefore, con
trolled absolutely by horizontal cur
rents of considerable force, and verti
cal currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the
surface to the bottom are hardly ever
noticeable. The water at great depths
Is so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the dlsinteeration of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason of its
weight that no fish or other living be
ing which needs oxygen for Its organic
svstem can exist beyond a stated
depth.
