MARGERY. Fair Mnreery I chanced to view Within her garden's gay-decked space. Clad in a gown of purple hue. A sylph with all a dower's grace. You left upon tny heart so true An image time can ne'er erase—• Maid in violet! A love-light in her eyes, whose blue Of heaven’s azure seemed a trace; What wonder I began to woo! • ••*••• One obstacle they needs must face; The other lovers who would sue— A promise without days of grace. Made inviolate. —Woman’s Home Companion. HER BIGGEST PUPIL. Scene: The little parlor In the modest cottage In which Miss Mary Brewster boards. Mr. Jim Thrasher nervously await ing her, his stalwart form perched on the edge of an easy chair. As she enters bis eye brightens, he smiles, and dropping his broad brim med hat on the floor he rises. Mary—You wished to see me? Jim—Yes, Miss Mary. (He eagerly puts out his hand. She takes It in a hesitating manner.) You don't know me. I wns afiaid you wouldn't. Fif teen years, and a beard, and any num ber of hard knocks do change a man. But you—why, you've scarcely altered a particle. Can't you guess who It Is? Mary—You remind me—something in your voice—In your smile—reminds me if— of a boy I once knew. Jim, delightedly—I'm the boy. Mary—Not—not Jim Thrasher? Jim—The very Identical. Mary—I’m so glad to see you. (She takes bls hand Impulsively.) Sit down, please. It is so kind of you to hunt me up. I've thought about you many times and tried to wonder what you were doing and what you had become. Jim—That's very good of you. Miss Mary. I hardly supposed you’d cher ish such pleasant remembrances for your biggest pupil. What a gawk I was! I can’t imagine bow you had any patience with me. Let me see. I was just 20 that last winter In the old red school house and a head taller than you—and two years older, wasn't I? What an awkward problem I must have been for you! Too old to learn and too big to whip. Mary—Ah, but you never needed whipping. You were my right hand man, my prop, my encouragement. 1 don’t know what I would have done with those big boys from down the creek if it hadn't been for your strong muscles. Jint—Do you remember how you talk ed to me the first day I came to school? 1 had come with those very creek boys to make trouble. My mother died when I was very young, and no other woman had ever talked kindly to me. When you appealed to my honor, and putting your hand on my shoulder begged me not to bury the good that was In me. something seemed to swell in my breast, and from that moment I re solved to be a man—a man whom you would one day be proud to say you knew. Mary—You make me very happy. It is a wonderful pleasure to feel that my poor efforts were not all wasted. It makes life worth living. Jim—Life, then, hasn't always—but tell me something about yourself. Mary—There is very little to tell. My mother died the summer after you went West, and I had to return home and keep house for father. In a year or two his health failed, and after a long, long sickness he died. My brother and I were alone, and after he found a sit uation on the railroad we moved here. When the war broke out brother en listed, and died at Tampa of a fever. Jim, after a pause—And so you have no ties to keep you here? Mary—None. Jim—And may I ask---- Mary—How I support myself? I have five little pupils whom I am teaching the rudiments, and I do some fine sew ing. 1 get along very well—only there Is always the fear of sickness. Now tell me about yourself. Jim—One moment. I want to say to you. Miss Mary, that I’ve been trying to find you out for a long time. I wrote to the old neighborhood, asking for you, but they answered that nobody knew where you had gone. I wouldn't have traced you down here If It hadn't been for Joe Slater. You remember little red-headed Joe. the scamp of the school? Well, he came out to Montana, looking for work, and I gave him a Job. and, one day. In recalling old times, he said be wns sure he saw you In this town. That's how I came to be here. About myself? Well, whatever 1 am, it Is you that gave me the start. 1 fancy I’ve done pretty well. I’m something of a mine owner and something of a capitalist, and I’ve served a term In Congress and could have gone back. I’ve got a nice house In Helena, and there's enough Idle cash lying around to enable me to travel as much and ns far as I please. You understand I'm not blowing my trumpet for the per sonal gratification there is in It—and yet it ts a personal gratification to blow It before you. I'm accounting, as ft were, for the use I've made of those talents you called my attention to fif teen years ago. Mary—I'm very glad to hear of your success. 1 knew you had It In you. You have made the day very bright for me. Jim—I am not yet quite sure whether It will be a bright day for me or not. The fact Is, I—I want to ask you a favor, Miss Mary. Mary—A favor. Jim? Jim—Yes. a great favor. I—I want to be your biggest pupil again! Mary—1—I don’t understand. Jim—And I want to be your only pupil. 1 need your help. They're talking of making me governor next fall, and I’ll require lota of polishing up. Oh, It will be hard work, but you’ll find me a willlug pupil. 1---- Mary—I don't know what you mean. Jim (rising and coming closer»—I’ll explain. They say, you know, that a well-ordered boy usually falls iu love with his teacher. That's his very first love. And most well ordered boys get over it. But this boy is different. He doesn't get over it. That teacher has been to him the one ideal of sweet est womanhood through all his fifteen years of hard knocks and growing success. Do you understand uow? Teacher, guide, friend, will you be that grateful boy's wife? Mary (covering her face with her hands)—Oh. Jim, Jim. I'm so old! Jim (taking her hands)—Nonsense! And you are growing younger every minute. Besides, don't forget for a moment that I am two years your senior! Come, Mary; I need you. There Is a home waiting for you in the West, aud comfort, and love. I don't ask you to love me—yet. Perhaps 1 can teach you that. There, there; don't cry. Surely there's nothing you leave behind worth these tears. Mary (rising)—They are tears of hap piness. Jim. Iler head drops on bls shoulder.— Cleveland Plain Dealer. A NIECE OF KRUGER.

The Pullman Company now operates two grades of sleeping cars via the Kio Grande Western Kailway. The ordi nary sleepers are entirely new, and the berths, both upper and lower, are fitted up complete with mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows, curtains, etc., with stoves arranged for making tea, coffee, etc., requiring nothing to be furnished by passengers. Uniformed Pullman porters are in charge of the cars, who are requred to keep them in good order aud attend to the wants and comforts of passengers. The cars are very hand some and commodious, and while not po elegant, are just as comfortable as standard or palace sleepers. Both first aud second-class passengers are permit ted -to occupy these cars on payment of the Pullman berth rates, which are less than half of the rates charged in the regular Puliman palace Bleeping cars. The ordinary sleepers are carried daily on trains via Kio Grande West ern Railway between Denver and San Francisco and Portland. On five days in each week the sleepers are run through between Los Angeles and San Francisco, or Portland and Denver, Omaha, Chicago and Boston. For additional details write for copy of folder to J.

A suave old gentleman sitting opposite to her presently bent forward and said, with gentle reproof: "Excuse me. but do you think It wise, when there are so many thieves olxiut, to carry your purse so conspicuously?” As he spoke, he pointed to her purse, which was projecting slightly from her I>ocket. Miss II., considering the stranger rather officious, thrust the portemonnaie down Into her pocket and thanked hltn with a stiff reserve, perhaps a trifle scornfully. At the next station the old gentleman got out. As he did so. he turned to his pretty vls-a- vls with a polite bow and the mischiev ous Indulgence of Illg years. “Allow me to restore your purse. You see, it wns not so hard to lose as you supposed!” So saying, he held out to her the purse she had supposed was safely re posing In her pocket Miss H. received it, coloring with childlike mortification, thanked him profusely, and her old friend took his leave with a friendly smile. A few minutes later, when the official came round to collect tickets. Miss H. discovered her purse to ba empty. Alam an Sup-r.titlon. Scenery nn<i Nature'« tarium. Bad Breath MISS SANN-IF. KRVGF.R.
