that thoughts of him could also bring

or awaken tho vibrations that trem¬
bled in her speech when she mentioned

Gbief among her sympathizers was
Aylmer Rivers, a barrister in good
practice, who had been a constant ad¬
mirer ever since Paula’s first debut.

where he know ho should probably
meet the object of his reflections, pre¬
ferring to remain silent on the sub¬
ject of his hopes rather than to run
the risk of a refusal.
I wo hours later he was silting be¬
anie L aula in a dimly-lighted alcove,
where rose-colored lights cjist patches
of color over tho girl’s white frock and
tall palms bowed their arehiugbranches
over her droo ping head. "The girl
spoke in faltering accents as she re¬

tho emotion Aylmer could not refrain
Horn arousing, ever though he knew
it were not for him. But since ii

lather it were for Bronzo than for a
possible rival, and was glad to prolong
tho tete-a-tete by expressions of con
isolation, sympathy for her loss and
advice as to the best means of recov

but finding.that nil i these failed, he
then played his last card, and begged
toW permitted to supply the aching
void iu Paula's heart by tho gift of

lhe girl refused the suggestion with
decision. “Not yet,” she murmured
in those thrilling tones which the
magie of bronze’s name always had
power to evoke. “I could not put
another iu Ins place so soon. ’ And
although Aylmer pressed her hand
within liis own with sympathy too
deep for w ords, Paula was so much dis
maved In the suggestion ho had of
foivd that he forgot to chide the of
fender. ,
Aylmer went away from the ball
feeling that if he had stayed much
longer in the alcove his resolutions !
would have been of little use to him. j

There intently,” was the reply,
was another pause. Then the
words came with a rush.
“I wanted to tell yon that I have
been thinking over what you said to
me the other night, Mr. Rivers,” the
voice said, “and that I—er—I accept
your kind offer.”
Now, Aylmer had completely for
gotten all about the dog and its loss.
H well ns his offer to replace the lost
idol with one of his own selection,
The important case upon which he was
engaged held possession of ail his
thinking faculties. The word “offer”
in connection with his thoughts of
Paula could have for him only one
meaning. Ho dropped tho tube and
gasped for breath as the words fell
upon his listening ear. To him they
bore but one interpretation.
But how reply to such a declaration
through such a medium? Why could
lie not annihilate the obstacles that
intervened, and clasp his Paula to his
heart? While he paused to put to¬
gether words which should fitly ac¬
knowledge his happiness in receiving
so unexpected an announcement, the
bell mug jjgain vociferously.
“You won’t forget, Mr. Rivers, will
and come up soon to tell me
ahout 1 £lm11 ex P ect y° u this
evening.”
< < Thanks, thanks, awfully,” was all
Aylmer had time to reply before he
heard the telephone shut off. “I will
not fail though ’tis twenty years till
thence,” ho murmured to himself as
he sank back in his chair bewildered
at what had happened.
He pushed his books from him and
piled them one on top of the other,
closing them without any eure as to
the references ho had been seeking
when his meditations bad been so uu
expected broken in upon. He was
possessed by a natural feeling of
pleasurable surprise at so extraordi
nary uu attainment of his most cher
ished hopes, but, ’strange to snv, the
pleasure faded more quickly than the
surprise.
Ho set himself to analyze the reason
of this and could not conceal from liis
inner consciousness the fact that, in
acting as she had just done, Paula did
not seem quite to realize that lofty
ideal which the average man is apt to
look for in the ordinary woman when
he has set the seal of liis choice upon
her. Yet he endeavored to persuade
himself it was, after ail, a very oasy,
if unusual, way of intimating her
preference, and for him that was the
main point at issue.
Tho modern maiden, lie argued,
could not always be expected to follow
the traditions of her maternal ances
tors, and the love affairs of the pres
ent day were bound to be affected by
tho environment of the ago. And was
not, after all, such a means of com
munication more prudentthan writing
a letter which his legal instincts
warned him might not always be read
without prejudice, and which might
bo pTi’served as a proof of indiscre
tion?
“Go to-night? Of course lie would.

than the time appointed.
The cuee of Regina vs. Craib did not
make much progress during the re¬
maining hours of that eventful day.
Unable to stand the confinement of
his rooms, he went for a walk to work
something off’ bis excitement. Return¬
ing, he dressed himself with care,
dined earlier than was his custom, and
arrived as soon ns he thought he
might decently present himself at the
gate of Surbiton Villa.
The maid ushered him into au
empty room, This in itself was suffi
cientto confirm his hopes, but the fact
was that the family had not yet fin¬
ished dinner. How thoughtful of
Paula not to receive him in the pies
once of other members of her family?
This attention to detail promised well
for her discrimination in the future,
Aylmer was a reflective person, and he
lingered over this little trait in Paula’s
character with pleasure and delight,
He had not long to wait before he
heard a hesitating footfall which
eounded like, and yot unlike, fhat of
Paula. He put his hat down upon a
side table and, feeling more nervous
than ho had ever remembered since
tho day he first addressed “your
honor,” awaited Taula’s entrance.
The door opened. “Oh, Mr.
Rivers, I’m co glad you’ve come, but
I don’t know what you’ll think about
my changing my mind so easily,”
said the girl shyly.
But Aylmer was not at the other
end of the telephone now—he ad
vanced boldly toward her.
“My darling, how can I ever thank
you enough?” he exclaimed, raptur
ouslv, as he took her in his arms, and
in another moment would have kissed
her, but the expression on Paula’s face
stopped him.
“Mr. Rivers!” she gasped, " “how
"
dare you?”
Aylmer stepped back angry and
ashamed. But Paula spoke first.
“What is the meaning of this exira
ordiuary conduct, may 1 ask? and
where, oh! where is the dog you
promised me?”
But Aylmer’s mind was too full of
the repulse he had received rightly to
understand the illusion.
“Dog!” he exclaimed. “What
dog? I—I really don’t know what
you meau, Mis? Lorraine. I can
only suppose that I am the victim of
some practical joke. You spoke to
me this morning through the tele
phone, I thought, and you invited me
here this evening.”
Paula nodded assent.
“And you told me,” he continued,
emphatically, “that you accepted my
offer.’’
Paula’s face* grew crimson; then
peals of laughter echoed through the
room.
“I accepted your offer of a dog, Mi.
Rivers," she said, as soon as she could
speak.
“And not a puppy, T suppose you
would say, replied Aylmer, iwth au
air of uk rtifloat; m he was powerless

“How could I accept you when yon
noT*r asked me?” inquired Paula
archly, tb e smiles still chasing on#
another over her mobile lips.
“But yon knew how much I loved
yon?” pleaded Ay 1 ni^ r.
“Of c< rse,” admitted Paula, with
an air of nniseienee. “Don’t women
always know? But they don’t accept
a man before he asks them—usually.”
“Then let the exception prove the
rule in this ca-e,” pleaded Alymer.
“And be called Miss Judy Baxter
for tho rest of my days,” pouted
Paula,
“I haven’t the honor of that lady’s
acquaintance,” said Alymer, looking
mystified, “and should prefer you to
be called Mrs. Rivers. But prove
your love for me by suffering that in
dignity, if it be one. I would have
aske l you months ago, but I thought
I was too old to mate with youth and
beauty such as yours. ”
“You are quite, quite sure,” mur¬
mured Panla, coyly, “and you won’t
say it was all my doing?”
“Never !” said Aylmer, reassuringly.
“On the contrary I shall attribute my
happiness to Bronzo, and will always
consider it a proof, if proof were
wanting, of his marvelous intelligence
and foresight.”
“The darling?” sighed Paula.
“My darling!” amended Aylmer.—

Major-General McCook and the Seoul,
Several mouths ago General McCook
paid a visit to Santa Fe with some rail
way officials. On arriving at Santa
Pc his first inquiry was for one Lucian
Stewart. He was told that Stewart
was in the hospital, awaiting death
from old age*
“Then he may die to-night, and I
will see him first, ” the general quietly
remarked. And then, with his aide,
he went directly to the hospital, and
was quickly by the cot of the old man.
“Stewart, don’t you know me?” he
inquired in a tender way, at the same
time extending liis hand,
Stewart did not reply for fully ono
minute, all the time holding the gen
eral’s hand and scanning his features,
At last a ray of light broke over his
countenance, and with a smile he said:
“Yes, I remember you. You are the
young lieutenant who never smoked
before breakfast. ”
Here the two broke into a laugh, the
heartiest laugh perhaps the old invalid
had enjoyed for a decade, Stewart
had been the chief of scouts, when
forty years ago McCook was fighting
Apaches on the frontier. The general
had not seen him since that war, but
showed liis deep regard for his old
friends by remembering so humble a
comrade. The remark of the old scout
referred to a time when McCook, then
a lieutenant, aad a detail under Colonel
St. Vraiu were chasing the Apaches,
They had struck a hot trail, and had
been on it thirty-six hours without
food. Fearing to wait to prepare a
meal, for every minute was then pre
cious, so close was the trail, Colonel
St. Yraiu determined to keep on the
march. Realizing the condition of his
men and officers, he had given per
mission for the men to partake of such
rations as they could in the saddle,
and turning to his lieutenant, he re

rich;resqne Fishermen.
When the trawls are taken in, al¬
most every kind of sen fish is found on
the hooks, including the shark. The
latter species is the plague of the hali¬
but fisherman’s life, often carrying off
his lines. There are two varieties that
infest the halibut banks, the blue-dog,
which is from six to twelve feet long,
and the ground shark, which is from
twelve to twenty feet in length. The
former is a very active fish and very
powerful, sometimes taking the bait
together with the fish on the hook ; in
any case it will make a desperate re
distance, towing a boat round and
round until exhausted. The ground
shark is sluggish, but when hooked it
comes to the surface, and rolling like
a l°g in the water seldom fails to
tangle the fishing lines or chafe them
apart with its rough cuticle. The
most picturesque fishermen on the
Cape Flattery banks are the Neah Bay
Indians, who come out from the shore
iu small canoes, although the banks
he out a distance of fifteen miles. The
gear used by them is so primitive as

Paper Bicycle Tires.
Paper tires for bicycles are pro¬
posed and some have even been made,
and are claimed to possess some ad
vantages as compared with the rub¬
ber tire. It is said t hat in the pre¬
paration of the paper stock ingredi¬
ents are added which are calculated
to insure the requisite elasticity,
durability and firmness. The met hod

a bicycle wheel or something smaller,
is an old one. In this new applica
tion, however, the uniting of the two
ends is effected by a new and simple
method, one end being enlarged and
shaved off on the interior for several
inches, while the other end is shaved
off on its exterior and put into the
other half, and a special adhering
glutinous substance is used in mak¬
ing the joint tight to the greatest
possible degree. Hair is employed
in place of interior linings and air is
forced into the hollow of the tubd
before the union is made, a special
instrument being used so that the
packing is uniform. While tho life
is two seasons, as
many as five are
made of paper. It is argued, too,
that thousands of bicycles which are
now supplied with hard or cushioned
tires because of the expense of pneu
matic, and which would be fitted
with pneumatics if a cheap and du
ruble one were available, will find the
paper tire to fill tho need.—[Atlanta

One can make beautiful little pa¬
per dolls by taking pains and time
for the work. The gayly colored
heads, arms and feet that are bought
outright may be affixed to paper or
cardboard bodies, and then tiie cos
tumes may be separately prepared.
Crimped tissue paper, in its lovely
shades, make a soft and fetching
fabric with which to work. One may
get up gowns with plaited ruffles, kilt
skirts, puffed sleeves, revers and al-
1T10s t any of the present day styles,
a ll of which have been done in pa
per. Then a sun-bonnet is a possi
bility, too, and little hats and bon
ne ts. There is almost no limit to
the wardrobe, given tissue paper,
glue and some knack in handling
them, with a pair of sharp scissors

Would Not Take $1,000 for it—Re¬
lieved of Fifteen Years of Suf¬
fering from Dyspepsia.
Alapaha, Oh., dune 22.—R. B. B. Com¬
pany,, Atlanta, Ga.—Gentlemen: l had
suffered from that terriblo dyspepsia, for
over fifteen years, and during that tuna
tried everything 1 could hear of, and spent
over three hundred dollars in doctor’s bills
without receiving the slightest benefit.
Indeed 1 continued to grow worse. Final¬
ly. after I despaired of obtaining relief, a
friend recommended B. 15. 15. (Botanic
Blood Balm), and I began using it; not
however expecting to be benefitted. After
using being half benefitted, a bottle I was ratisfled 1 was
and when the sixth bottle
was taken l telt like a new man. I would
not take a thousand dollars for the good it
has done me; intact the relief I derived
from it is priceless. I firmly believe I
would have died had I not taken it.
Respectfully, etc.,
Thomas Paulk,
