“Annabel!" called a mother over
the banisters, as she heard the front
door dose.
“Yes, mamma," replied a sweet girl*
jC&Jsh voice, and Annabel Googan slowly
^rframed herself in the darkness of the
staircase.
“Was that Mr. Tinberry, Annabel?"
“It was, mamma." ,
“Do you know It Is twenty minutes
past eleven?" came in cold tones from
the wrapptred figure in the upper
hall.
“Mamma, we hadn't the slightest
Idea it was so late," said the young
girl, earnestly. “You see,” she con
tinued, "Mr. Tinberry has been tell
ing me about China and Japan. He
said everybody ought to know about
them, and It was so interesting, ws
never thought how late It was get
ting. Do you know, mamma," added
the sweet girl, “that In China they—"
“Did Mr. Tinberry draw a mau of
China on your face, Annabel?" asked
Mrs. Coogan, sternly.
“Why, mamma?" asked the daugh
ter, In startled tones.
The young girl rushed to a mirror
and saw with horror-stricken glance
that the left sido of her face was
streaked and stained with ink.
“Heaven and earth!" she screamed;
“h's fountain pen must have leaked
Into his waistcoat pocket!" and with
a shriek of horror the beautiful girl
fell fainting to the floor.—N. Y. News,

“Henry,” asked Mrs.. Penhecker,
“how many cigars do you smoke in a
dav?"
“Only one, my love," answered Hen
ry.
“And what does It cost you?"
“Ten cents."
“Hum! Do you know that 10 cents
a day amounts to $30.50 cents in a
year?"
“I must confess I never had figured
it out."
“Well, it seems to me it would be
better if you gave some thought to
your reckless extravagance."
Later In the evening Henry hap
pened to pick up the paper his wife
had been looking over when she
brought up the cigar question. A

page she had been perusing announc

overheard the following conversation
In the nursery:

Johnny, noncommittally—She start

Mabelle—Then how Is it we didn't

crossing the English ehanuel Tommy
had felt a strange aversion to food,
j An extraordinary fascination for his
• cabin had seized him with the first
i tossing of the big boat.
{ The seat to his left at the table was
empty. At bis right sat a portly old
party, who, Judging from the alacrity
with which he was satisfying a sea
born appetite, never suffered from
mal de mer. »
“Just come to life?” he asked be
tween mouthfuls, as Tommy sat down.
“Just," Tommy ended abruptly.
He had Intended saying more, but
s sudden lurch of the boat checked
his utterance. He made an heroic
effort to concentrate his thoughts on
the menu. Conversation was impos
sible.
The mere thought of the edibles on
the bill of fare made Tommy feel
at once like a merry-go-round and
numerous other combinations unmen
tionable In the highest social circles.
“Your neighbor on the left was too
strongly lured on deck,” began the old
man again. He chuckled and. Tommy
though, gloried In the Indisposition
of bis fellow passengers.
“Seasickness Is—what? Not going?"
But his remark was not heeded by
Tommy, who had made a hasty. If un
graceful. bolt for the companionway.
With the first whiff of salt air
Tommy was revived. Her® and there,
wrapped In steamer robes, propped up
with pillows and clinging lovingly to
their smelling salts, sat members of
the Campania’s family, looking as if
they cared little what happened to
them or to those about them.
Leaning over the railing In ths
stern stood a woman. The ocean
breezes freed her curls from Impris
onment and Tommy watched them ex
plore the regions of the red tam
o’shanter from under which they had
escaped. He studied the symmetrical
lines of her figure and wondered if her
face was as perfect.
With every breath of the invigorat
ing air he felt more himself. He even
thought he could eat if—well. If that
person with tho red cap should sit
on his left.' Perhaps she did.
Each time he paced the deck ho
drew nearer the stern railing. Each
time he formed an Introductory
speech, and each time took one moro
round of the deck.
Shipboard introduction did not need
a third party, but he did wish she
would turn her head. If ever so slight
ly. It would help so much.
Finally, as if drawn by a hypnotic
power, she moved. Tommy stopped
short as suddenly as a small boy who
finds a nail In the cellar door.
The woman turned to him, her hand
on the railing. “Helen," he gasped,
without removing his glaze. “I— 1 " he
faltered and passed his hand across
his eyes. Surely there were cobwebs
In the sea air.
Tommy grasped the railing. “May
I?—a minute?” he asked. She did not
reply, so he continued to attend by
her side.
A long silence ensued, during which
the woman turned again to the sea.
Was she afraid her eyes might betray
the emotion that stirred her?
“Helen,” Tommy ventured finally,
*T did not know It; this was not In
tentional, believe me."
Slowly the sun was sinking Into
the space between the aky and sea.
The woman’s eyes followed It. and her
thoughts? Where were they? The
two stood side by side silent, thought-
fill.
A large, white sea gull fluttered past
them in Its irregular flight. “The
wings of the-past,” she said at last,
watching tbe bird disappear.
“They are white,” he said, “but they
bear much that Is dark-*much that
la dreary—to reflect upon. "
Her face changed, softened, yet he
could not Interpret her expression
tbe play of her emotion bad always
been a mystery to him
“Helen/* be ssld, stepping closer to
her, “can we not dip five years—tbe
last five—from those wings?”
“Call me back again, call me back
again," came from the cabin below In
a resonant soprano voice. It was tho
old song with which she used to sing
away his frowns when she had teased
him.
“Ah, when your love has conquered
pride and anger, I know that you will
call me hack again," came the voice.
“Yes, It had been both pride and
anger—pride on her part, anger on
hit. But that was five years ago when
they were—Oh, so young!
“•Pride and angrr/" he repeated
softly. "Wasn’t It both, Helen!
Weren’t you too proud to admit you
were wrong and I too angry to make
you? If I were to talk forever I could
not tell of my regret, dear, after I
had lost you. Have I lost you for-
tvsr?"
8he laid her hand on his arm, and
together they looked down Into the
phosphorescent waters beneath them.
“Call me hack again; call me back
again." Tbe words were wafted over
and over again to them.
••Will you?" he asked softly.
The red tam o’shanter was laid on
Tommy’s breast, and Tommy forgot

Sclsnes and Potatoes.
The farmers of Germany art noted
fo- their adoption of sclontiflc meth
ods, particularly In tho cultivation of
potatoes, which Is their great special-
ty. To avoid the effects of Inbreed
ing. the scientific Gorman farmer
rarely plants seed potatoes from bis
own fields. He cither gets new varie
ties from the experiment stations, or
exchanges with bis neighbors whose
farms possess soil differing from that
of his own farm. An Interesting fact
is that potatoes grown on high hill
slopes produce best when planted In
valleys, and that potatoes from »h#
h»- /j wet Und make the best seed
for use In light, dry soils.—Youth's
