"A man!" cried the unconventional Miss Salter, with one of her sparkling little trills of laughter. "The man," amended Miss Norwich, with her usual directness of speech. Y'hy not say Mr. Grange and be done with it?" said Miss Soduru, sourly. "A handsome tritler who has made love to every unmarried woman in the place." .Miss Kittridge smiled, then waited a moment as she glanced around. "Ah, thirteen of us an unlucky number for Mr. (irange! Young ladies, they say a woman can keep her own secret better than that of another. As the proceedings of this little conven tion are of interest to each of us. I think that we shall find no trouble in holding them strictly confidential.

Miss Dayo, wear your heart on your sleeve for once in your life; it may ease it." The smile on the speaker's face was so sympathetic, so sweet, so reassur ing that though Miss Dayo's tender brown eye showed that her heart stood still -midway in its beat like a frozen waterfall." yet she raised her hand. -Now set a-ide all self-depreciation while you au.-wer this question from our own private point of view: How many of you believe Mr. Grange at oiue time showed marked symptoms of being in love when in ymir pres ence?

"You see," said Miss Lynn, in that big, cheery roice of hers, "I was not mgagod, though if Mr. Grange had "egged me quite hard I but go on, vliss Salter." "Well," said that lady with a laugh, 'night after night I spread before him ny engageless hand, but to no pur 'ose. He seemed to take no real heart nterest in me till I wore Tom Mar in's ring; then he found a value that tossession would not show him." "Girls," said Miss Kittridge, as she eane.d her chin thoughtfully in her and, "Since my engagement I have een enabled to see Mr. Grange with Lher eyes; I do not say they are ruer ones, but at all events he stands cfore me in the clear light of reason, nd not in fancy's rosy rays. Now, .oting ladies, aside from this one fault, ou will all agree that he is a model nan. That he is bright and talented is numerous cases testify.

"When he congratulated me upon uy engagement," said Miss Lynn, "he .ld me confidentially the quality he nost admired in woman was modesty. I am sorry to say,' he added, 'that the ;irl of to-day is too easily won and re els a lover by her eagerness to allure urn." There was a storm of indignation at this. "What is a girl to do when a man all ut proMses?" cried bright Miss Sal er. "Frown him down?" "Or run away?" suggested Miss duni.

And do you," turning to the rest, "overwhelm him with your admiring attention. The pleasure you "will have in comparing notes! No, it does not seem quite correct; but everything is fair in love and war, and this matter partakes of the nature of both. Can you all meet me here at the same hour in two weeks? Remember, girls, your part, and you, Miss Dayo, be your dear, shy self. Good-bye good-bye! Remem ber, in two weeks!" "There, didn't I tell you so? Every one of you, kitten-like, has fallen on your feet. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves not a heart bowed down by sorrow? You have not met your love's Waterloo yet. I have regrets from the Misses Sodum, Fair and Lynn. Shall we have the reports of the other members of this philan thropic society? Miss Cube, will you kindly begin?" There was a smile in Miss Cube's grey eyes as she commenced. "I thought it best to let no grass grow under my feet, so my sister and I set out next morning for the office of Mr. (Grange. I told him that Irene and I had been long in doubt as to which he was most deeply attached to; as it was possible he could not decide all in a moment he might call in the afternoon and mention his preference. He looked from one to the other of us with such an expression! As we reached the "door Irene turned and said, with a languishing air: 'You will come, won't you. dear?1 And, would yon believe it, girls he didn't. The extra steps he has. taken to dodge us will make him the champion pedes trian of the state." There was a chorus of laughter. "Alay I speak next?" asked Miss Estrange. "I wish to get it off my mind. I happened to meet him on the street one day I had been walking up and down before his aunt's door for half an hour. He had scarcely said Good afternoon.

Straight way my face wreathed itself into such a loving smile of welcome that he stopped short, and I have not seen him from that moment." "And I," said Miss Salter, "gave him one look" from my big, beautiful, long-lashed grey eyes I quote his words and he has not crossed my path since." . "Aren't you afraid." said IreneCube, "that Mr. Grange will tind us out?" "He is a man, consequently varni so he will think nothing of so much devo tion." "But where is Miss Dayo?"

"The charges and counter-charges in the late senatorial muddle," said an old attorney from southern Ohio, "re mind me of a celebrated case we had in one of the southern Ohio courts more than thirty years ago." "Will you give it to the Postf" "No, but I'll tell you the story not for publication, though. A certain man had lost some very fine wheat and at once suspected a noted thief living fifteen miles away, on the oppo site side of the county. This man's name was Winchell and lie had escaped from a sheriff while ou his way to the pen a few years before. He was arrested and a long trial en sued. It was clearly proven that Winchell had brought to the mill at the county-seat wheat exactly similar in quality to the stolen article but ex perts went to his farm and found he had barrels and barrels of the same kind of wheat. As the testimony kept coming in it was piain to his attorneys that the old man had stolen the wheat and mixed it with some of his own raising, so as to prosent a fine grade to the officers he knew would be searching for the stolen goods. One of his attorneys, seeing how things were going, leaned toward the old man in the court house and whis pered: "Winchell, you old rascal, you did steal that wheat." " sh! Don't say a word thev can't prove it. Of course I did, though." The trial went on, the prisoner was acquitted and a few weeks afterward paid his attorneys in Ihyir made from the stolen wheat.

"Did you ever notice that as a rule the persons who seek death and are rescued from the grave never court the society of the dark angel again?" The propound er of the question was a hospital physician, and he proceed ed to explain without Waiting for an auswer. ' "What I mean is that of all the per sons w ho attempt suicide and are foil ed, but few try self-murder a second time. Probably one-half, if not more, of all t hose who try to kill themselves are frustrated. The percentage of those who leap into tut? dark river a second time is exceedingly small. I have tried to discover the reason for this from the iips of those who have gone through tin; terrible experience. but I have not met with success. "It is queer that persons after devot ing weeks and months to a cousidera tion of so momentous a question and deciding to end their existence should, when foiled, declare that thev were fools, aud swear never to do the like again. Yet this is what is done in a large majority of instances. Those who have stared at death seem to live life anew. The past is effaced a new light seems to have dawned. The sun shine is dearer; the air is purer. Jt is the convalescent taking great draughts of the outdoor air with a keenness of relish that was unknown before. "Did you ever witness a hanging? The execution is impressive. It is ter rible to see a human life deliberately and coolly taken. But this is not the most terrible thing about a hanging. It is the recollection of it the "mental picture of that death scene that is awful. So it is with the suicide. It is not so fearful to take a poisoned draught to pull a trigger or take a plunge. But to those who have rush ed to death and have failed to over take it the recollection of that race must be awful ami this is w hat deters rash mortals from a second attempt. This is the only explanation I can gather. -What do I think of suicide? It is moral cowardice and physical courage. It takes nerve to throw nes self in front of a moving locomotive.' but a human being that cannot bear adver sity lacks the higher eoirrage. It is not so that all persons who" seek their own lives are insane. "There is possibly one case in which moral cowardice is not apparent. Jt is in the case, of the person who l suffering tortnrr.from a fatal illneaa." Tall Tree. The tallest trees in th world, are the gum trees of Victoria Australia.
