Jim Haker read nnd heard of the

saw many of his neighbors enlist nnd

to eat and sleep nnd shoot rebels. You

Nothing more was said about the
matter that evening. Next morning
the wife started for tho Ileitis, nnd Jim
stnrtcd for tho village. She missed

house, .but she didn't worry. When ho
came home nt sundown he tossed a
big roll of greenbacks Into her lap ana
said:
"I've enlisted for a soldier and am
going away tomorrow."
She counted tho money over slowly.

There was very llttlo said next
morning when ho started off. She
went to the plow nnd he to town, nnd
the tnlk was all among the neighbors.
After getting down to the front Jim
wrote home now and then, but briefly,
Sometimes he was mentioned In other
soldiers' Jotters, but also briefly. Tho
wife lived on alone. She missed tho
husband, and yet she didn't. Some
times she wished him back, nnd some
times she didn't feel to care whether
he returned or not. Sho was In this
neutral stnte of mind when the war
came to a close nt Inst. Tho-soldier
who survived it returned home, nnd
one evening as she sat on her steps
with her pipe in her mouth u veteran
in uniform turned in at tho gate to
say:
"Mrs. Baker, have you heard about

"Not a word."
"He didn't como back with us."
"No?"
"Becnuse ho was killed In tho very

11 HAPPY OLD Ml,
By M. QUAD.
Copyright, 1000, by Associated Literary
Press. J
There wat no doubt that Martha
Baker, thirty years old and unmarried
and the housekeeper for her widower
brother, was homely. She admitted
that hIio was. and I'm telling you thut
a woman, old or young, black or white.
has got to be at the Jumping off place
before she will admit that. Yes; she
was homely nml ungainly, nnd the fu-
ture held no hopes for her. if she had
had the money to buy patnts-and pnw-
ders and false hair and line hats nnd
good clothes she could have concealed
much of the homely and ungainly, but
she didn't have, you see. Some pitied
her. nnd some made fun of her. and
she bore It with such philosophy as
she could summon up. IJer brother
mil needed her services until he could
brine home a second wife, nnd yet
that same brother till seemed to tako
pns t0 my to her a dozen times a
day. '
"Martha Ilaker. I believe you are
the homeliest woman In the state. By
jolin. but you'd make a crab applo
tree look sick I"
"Well, if anybody's to blnme It's ho
i.0rd," Martha would reply as shedls-
lniSsel the matter from her mind.
Sometimes n still, fimnll voice would

However, thnt still Rmnll vnlco Itent

trumps for Mnrthn Baker. She nnd
once been extra kind to nn old womnn,
nnd that old womnn wns kind enough
to die nnd leave her a hundred dollars
In cash. The lawyer came for her Big.
nnturc and brought the greenbacks,
Martha had never hnd even $U at n
time in her life before. There were
people In the village who were fairly
well off, but to have a hundred dollars
In cold cash put Into one's hand nil
at once why. It looked like the Monto
Crlsto business. The news went nil
over the place in nn hour. Children
stood at the gate with open mouths
nnd their mothers went In to count the
money and to tender ndvlce. Thero
was ndvlce as to robbers. Investments,
speculations and what not. Each had
different advice to give, nnd Mnrtha
was kind enough to listen to each cnll
or. It was wonderful how her stock
came up. It started nt zero nnd went
to 1B0 In n dny. She wns the It. No
one else was talked about. Tho grocer
who tried to sway public opinion by
hanging out a sign of "Two Bars of
Spifp For 7 Cents" didn't make two
sales. The minister came with home
hints. They were not nbout her hat
this time. They were nbout repaint
lug the church, new pew cushions and
the heathen tn Africa Instead.
"What was Martha Baker going to
do with her windfall?" became the
absorbing topic of the tiny nnd night.
It has been said that she had worn
the same hat for nine yenrs. Do you
believe that she had done so without
Its rankling In her soul? Indeed, sho
hnd got the Idea that It was the old
lint's fault that she was called homely
and ungainly. More had been said
ngalnst the hat than against nature.
and her conclusion wns n feminine If
not n logical one.
Very vc)l. She would discard tho
hat nt last nnd replace It with n new
one. She would do even better thnn
that. She would niuke certnln high
headed women nnd girls In that town
look dizzy. Martha was four weeks
in coining to this conclusion, nnd then
she didn't take even brother BUI Into
her conlldence. When she nnnounced
thnt she was going to Boston to do a
little shopping he tried nil sorts of
nrguments to dissuade her. but she
was firm. She refused to believe thnt
the cars would run off the rails or
that she would have her throat cut
from ear to ear and come homo beg
ging for sticking plaster to bring tho
edges of the cut together. It was a
terrible picture that brother Bill dan
gled before her vision, but she wnlked
to the depot as calmly as an oltl goose
and boarded the train.
There was -est for any one In the
village that day. .Martha Baker had
KOne to Boston to spend or bank her
money. Which would It be? No ono
knew when she came homo safe and
K(llliui. No one knew for tho next four
days.. Then the cat got nut of the bag
jn other words, two big dry goods
, boxes came for her by freight. Broth
er Bill hnd .hem hauled to the house
. nml opened them with his own hands.
She refused to name the contents to
hlni or any of the score of callers. It
was only when the papers were re-

The Monkey and tho Pie.
An Indian faker had a monkey thnt
he had brought up from babyhood,
says nn English writer. The pair were
fast friends, the monkey being a faith
ful attendant on his master and ns
good ns a wntchdog. One day the
faker made a pie for dinner and left
It to cook on n charcoal lire while he
went for n wnlk. Ah the cooking pro
ceeded the savory smell wns too much
for the monkey. It raised the crust
and tnsted the chicken. Finding the
food very tasty, It ate more nnd more
until nothing but the crust rcninlnod.
Then It remembered Its master, vho
would shortly return hungry nnd ready
to enjoy his meal. What wns to be
dono7 The shnrp eyes of the monkey
detected sonio crows not far away, so
without loss of time It lny down on
the ground ns If dead. By and by n i
crow came along and pecked nt the
monkey, which seized the bird In ft
twinkling, strangled It, stripped off tl.-o
feathers, placed It In pieces tn the
dish, covered it over with tho crust
nnd then contentedly nwalled tho re
turn of the falter, to whom the whoi'e
incident wns related by an eyewitness.

Bursting Balloon.
The greatest danger of n high ascent
In a balloon Is concerned with tbc
dimming density of tho utmnsphore.
On tho ground the ntmosphere presses
on the balloon with n weight of nbout
fifteen pounds for every square Inch
of Its surface. As tho balloon rises,
however, the nlr grows thinner and
Its pressure becomes In eonsequenco
less and less. As the pressure of tho
outside ntmosphere decreases the bal
loon expands, and If the ascension Is
made too rapidly or without sulllclcnt
euro the gas Inside tho silk envelope
will expand until the balloon bursts.
But the bursting of u balloon In mid
air is by no means necessarily a fatal
catastrophe. Every balloon Is provld
cd with n "ripping cord" which, when
pulled, cuts n long rent In the envelope
out of which the gas speedily escapes.
Tho silk bag Is then cnriicd by the nlr
Into tho upper portion of tho netting,
whoro in the majority of cases It
forms a parachute and brings every
thing safely to earth.
Doubtful Praise.
Mr. Faxon was the oldest patron c-f
the "select boarding house" In which
ho lived, nnd his Inudliuly sometimes
referred people to him for n recom
mcndatlon of her table. His wish was
to praise the food highly, as he could
conscientiously do, but ono dny ho
overstepped his mark.
"I'm dyspeptic, sir," snld a man who
had gone to Mr. Fnxon to mako in
quiries about tho boarding house, "and
my food has to be simple nnd well
cooked no high seasoning, no Indigent
ible compounds."
Mr. Faxon looked at him with a
bland nnd reassuring smile
"My dear sir," ho said In his most
Impressive maimer, "you need have no the play locked in his sale, ins com
fears. All 1 have eaten In tho ten plnceney returned lo him. At 11:110
