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.

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.

Johnny’s papa Is what Johnny terms a “railroad magnet,” which may ac count for the fact that the infant’s idea of heaven is that of a celestial railroad terminal, subject to the usual terrestrial delays. The other evening papa and mama overheard the following conversation In the nursery: Mabelle, who had been in a brown study for some minutes—Johnny, didn’t grandma go to heaven before we were born? Johnny, noncommittally—She start ed. Mabelle—Then how Is it we didn't meet her?

George D, Mackey came upon a friend he hadn't seen for along time. He was with a pretty young woman. “You are Just married, aren’t you?" asked Mackay, smiling at the young “Only last week,’* acknowledged the friend. “How did you guess It?" “I thought," replied Mackay, “that you looked a little shy. and—" “I am pretty shy of cash Just now, trat I didn’t know I showed It so much as all that," Interrupted the friend.— Augusta Chronicle.

Little Ostend—“Pa, what •Boston Common?”' Pa—"Beans, my son." 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.
