Copyright. incl. tr Iai!y Story Pub. Co.) x. man and a girl that most anci.nt of combinations with Its end'ess chain cf possibilities are seated side by side on a bank of coarse grass and gray boulder, lcokir.s seaward. The old duel of the sexes has been waging between them for the best part of aa hour, but as yet neither party has been worsted. There are no seconds, unless a small boy disporting himst.f in the middle distance could so be counted. At any rate be serves as a eort of time-rest to the conversation, occasionally drawing the attention of the pair to himself by the narrowness of his escapes from bodily injury. His efforts are directed toward fixing a flagpole on a tree in honor of the ap proaching Fourth of July. Dr. Randall hazard- the prophecy that one of tbesa days Jack Hughes will kill himself. "Not he." says Miss Lane cheerful ly; '"but I wish he'd come down. 1 love Loys who want to do dangerous things, but I can't bear to sec them at it." "Ycu'.e simply." be says, "the most feminine woman I've met." "And is thiit why you like me?" "One of the whys. There are others." "I den't think I like the obvious," returns Miss Lane. "It is as bad to :e labeled feminine as being called swett or gciod-cearie J." "You couldn't be the first without being the two lat. Why, I wonder, do women gird so at belonging to their own sx? Do you ever hear a man o'j jcot to be.r.g called a manly fe.Iow?" "I deny that we do gird at it. It is rnly the cever getting beyond cce's limitations. Sr.prose one is a primrosj by a rivtr's b:im; you don't want :o be that and nothing more. It is the eternal fern. nine 1 object to." The man smiles beneath the shelter cf his Lat br.m. "Getting beyond your limitations." be sajs. "confessedly out of your depths. Who apjears to advantage, ipan or woman, in that situation?" "What tre a woman's limitations?" impatiently. "I mean, cf course, your idea of them. I know ail men have a eut-ar.'-(ir.eJ theory on the subject, ready for ue at a mouient s notice." "i-v.ucnt.y you agree with Hardy's peasant that 'men a.re a very poor cla. s of soc.ety." " "Do 1?" slie laughs. "Ask any of the women over there" pointing in the direction o: the little summer settle ment across the hiil "they will tell you XILs Lane is never so Lappy ai fcen sue Las a man tagging at her Jaee.s." "And you deny that your sex is spiteful?" "That isn't spiteful, after p.I, per haps." ruefully. '"I dare say it Is on.y -1 Have No Patience," began Miss Lane. true. I do like them I." lamely, "have always been .-.ccustomed to them." "Don't annihilate me for saying therein lies the chief chrm of the feminine woman." "Oh! no. You're welcome to your opinion. I believe I even asked for it." "You did. You said, 'What are wom an's limitations?' And you accused me of having a cut-and-dricd answer. But you d'dn't wait for it. I was about to cay I'd never found a woman's limi tations." "Then," calmly. yor were about t tell an untruth. There was never yet a man who hadn't set the boundary for his felloe -woman." "You don't mind if 1 smoke?" She nods permission, "I admit there are Just one or two walks in life over Vf IC 0 999 999 9Ct 99 9 e which it 13 written 'Verboten ru i:;gang,' to a woman." "And those?" "Well, medicine and the law, to be gin with. As a doctor I have it on my conscience to have dissuaded at least three young women from becoming trained nurses." The silence that follows this state ment becomes fairly ominous. "I have no patience" begins Miss L'ne at last, "'with a man no respect for one who sayj! such a thing as that. I am sorry I really thought better of you." She rises to her full height, which is not a great one. but gives her unfair advantage over her prone combatant, who sits up physic ally and metaphorically. "I am awfully sotry." apologetical ly, picking up a fallen hatpin; "1 didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I couldn't tell I was treading on sacred ground. A Bag cf Familiar Patterns. Somehow one doesn't associate you w.th any of thoe pursuits. You are so " "So feminine," she interjects scorn fully, "but I ean't help that." "No. thank heaven," devoutly. A gleam of mirth steals into her eyes, and she reseats hcr.-e'.f. "Oh. what is the use?" Ehe cries. "I thought years ago I had learned to control myse.f. I know and love so man' splendid women who are nurses, and my be.-t friend." firmly, "is a doc tor a woman doctor. So it hurts me to the quick to hear your easy con tempt for them." "But you mustn't think for an in stant that I feel a contempt for them, f sides I am only a man in a thous and." "Yes," she says, wih a catch of her breath, "it really doesn't matter what you think." ' Oh! but I hope it does just a little. It matters so much to me. I have only known you a short month, but there are times when time doesn't count. Surely, you know I love you" Suddenly across his speech there breaks a child's cry or terror. Turning sharply he sees little Jack Hughes fall heavily from the high tree where he has fixed the flag. Moved by a common impulse the man and girl go tearing down the hill together without a word. Miss Lane kneels by the boy and with her tar to his breast listens to the faint heart-beats that assure her life is still there. "I'd give a good deal for my surgic al bag just now," 6ays Dr. Randall when the boy has been laid on his own bed in the cottage where Miss Lane's summer has been spent. "There's an ugly fracture here that needs looking to at once. Let me see," and he glances about to discover some impromptu means to wrest to his own ends. Miss Lane stands irresolute for a brief moment, then is out of the room in a flash. When she appears 1t is with a bag of familiar pattern wherein is found all that is needed to the sur geon's hand. "This," she says coloring. "I happen ed to know was in the house." Miss Lane watches him approvingly in silence as long as all goes smooth ly, but when a cry of agony breaks from the child. "Don'l you think" she says. "Just a whiff or two." he answers with perfect comprehension, and in a few moments Jack is lulled off on the blessed fumes of ether. When all is well over and they stand together on the porch outside Jack's little room in the falling twilight. Miss Lane somehow finds herself in Dr. Randall's arms. "I am glad that man. proud man. never dissuaded you from becoming a iL -SIR t j jl trained nurse," lie snys. "Jack would have fared badly today if between us we hadn't surprised your set-ret." "I have been a doctor for two years." says ?.Iiss "Lane demurely. Then, after a pause, she adds with a little smile, "I was to have been one of the lights of orthopedic surgery." "Was to have been?" he echoes, as he draws her closer to him. "Why, what happened?" foil," she returns briefly. 'I hope I know my own limitations." OVER THE PRECIPICE. Lady Bur I U-li4 to Place tha Kotka- The perils of mountaineering arc well set forth by Miss Isabel Savory in "A Sportswoman in India." She says of the entrance of Kashmir: "Many of the paths were barely three feet wide in places, with a cliff above on one side, and a precipice below on the oth er. They were the roughest tracks, and one tame to vast rocks and had to fol low a sort of staircase up them." Miss Savory relates a personal experi ence on one of these dangerous paths: Slowly Sphai (my horse) clambered up the path until we were nearly at the top The last. little bit was much steep er. On the left a wall of rock rose per pendicularly above our heads; on the right the narrow path broke off into a sheer precipice down to the gorge far below. Making an effort up the last steep bit, Sphai dug his willing toes into the rock and broke into a jog. His hind foot loosened a rock, and hLs foot went over with it. Instantly there was no time to think I felt both his hind legs go over. At the s?lfsame moment I threw myself off the saddle to the path. I do not know I never shall know how I did it. I kept hold of the reins, and for a second, kneeling on the path, clung to them, Sphai's head on a level with me. his two poor fore legs clattering hopelessly on the path, while with his strong hind quarters he fought for a minute of life, trying to dig his toes into some crevice in the precipice. It was only a second. I was powerless to hold him up. Right oTer backward he slowly went, with a long heave. I saw the expression in his poor, imploring eyes. A hideously long si lence and then two sickening crashes, as he hit rock after rock. A pause, and a long, resounding roar from the rocks at the bottom of the gorge. Sphai lay. literally smashed to pieces down be low. The whole awful scene has been a nightmare many a time since. But ! for the man's Faddle, which allowed me to slip off, the rocky gorge would j have held us both. Youth's Compan ion. FnclDifr "Cot the O'd lady." The president of an Eastern railroad ! tolls of an engineer of a fast freight ! train who called on him one day and asked him to prevent a deaf old woman from walking on the tracks along one section of that division. Several times the engineer had barely missed run ning over her, and he was terrified lest a fata! accident should happen to her. "The only way to prevent a deaf per son from vt' Icing on the track." said Mr. Underwood, "would be to cut his legs off." "That is just what I will do fcr my deaf old lady if you cannot stop her," replied the engineer. In vestigation showed that she was ac customed to go to a summer hotel to sell baskets and embroidery, and that the railroad afforded her a short cut to her destination. She was remonstrated with, but it did no good. "And. do you know," said Mr. Underwood, "she was finally run over. That very engineer called on me, with tears running down his cheeks, one day. and reported: "I've got the oid lady at last, sir.' " Tho VCut of Sfrty. Unless a cyclist is a "scorcher" there is no r.eed, generally speaking, to make any ePo t to avoid him. He will look out for the collisions. A lady was crossing the street when she aaw a bi cycle rider coming toward her. She stopped, thtn dodged backward, and ! as he had swerved in order to piss behind her there was a collision, and both took a fall, but neither was much damaged. "If you hadn't wabbled, sir." she said angrily, as he assisted her to rise, this wouldn't have happened!" "Neither would it have happened, madam," he replied, "if you hadn't wabbled, or if you had wabbled in a '. contrary direction from my wabble. It was our concurrent and synchroro .s ! wabbling, so to speak, that caused it." Then the cyclist, a college professor, doffed his tap, mounted his wheel and rode on. rrl lis No Snmmer Rain.

Mrs. Elzabeth Burr Hamilton, said to be the last member of the seventh generation cf the Burr family, who died at Bridgeport, Conn., at the age cf 90, was the fifth cousin of Aaron Burr, the third vice president of the ! United Fiates, who killed Alexander Hamilton the lawyer and statesman, in a duel In 1S04. Her death recalls the , fact that, though the families of Burr i and Hamilton were the most bitter en ' emies at the beginning of the last cen tury, love found a way 32 yeari after the famous duel to bring the families together again by the marriage of Elizabeth Burr and Alexander Hamil ton in 1S"6.
