CUMMINGS I wns a reader for n prominent mag azine. Perhaps I should explain to those who nro not familiar with edl torlnl work that a render is one who reads manuscripts of unknown au thors. A manuscript Is brought In to tho editor, who sits at a mahogany desk and listens witli apparent intent ucs.H to a long nccount of tho merits of tho work submitted, smiles benign ly on tho author and as soon as he Is gone tosses the manuscript to tho read er without n word. Tho magazine I wns with being for women, most of the renders were wom en, I being one of tho women. At ono tlmo when the editor wns 111 those who Insisted ou seeing tho editor were referred to me. One of those who left n manuscript with me was u innii who seemed to mo to be of Htich caliber that either ho should bo n successful writer or should not bo a writer at all. But successful writers were not used to asking us to pubjlsh their works; wo asked them to do us the honor to permit us to pub lish them. I wns certainly impressed with Mr. Horatio Beurdsley thennuie on tho title page of his story nnd promised him that I would give his story n careful reading. I did most of my work nt home and took Mr. Benrdsley'a story, called "A Fool For His Pains," there to read It. But a great many mnnuscrlpts were crowding upon us nt tho time, and we were especially successful In getting recognized literary lights In tho liter ary world to give us their works for publication. Tho consequence wns that I omitted to read "A Fool For His Pallia" for some time. One day I looked In my closet for the manuscript, whero I had left It, uud did not find it there. I asked my mother what had become of It and learned that she hnd burned an accu mulation of pasteboard boxes recently. The manuscript was In n pasteboard box, and it was apparent to me Unit It hnd gone up in smoke. I wns terror stricken. If through my carelessness n manuscript committed to my caro were destroyed and there was no other copy in existence I would not only suffer a terrible mortification, but would lose my position, ou which I was dependent for a living for both my mother and myself. When I went again to tho ofllco of tho magazine a letter from Horatio Beardsley was banded me, stating that he had made arrangements for the pub Mention of "A Fool For Ills Pains" nnd nsklng them to return the mnnu script I said nothing nt tho ofllco about Its destruction, for I hnd not sulllelently recovered from tho shock to make up my mind what to do or say In tho matter. I wont homo nnd tried to think out n way by which I might save myself from tho loss of my position though there was no possible way of escaping the mortification to which I would bo subjected. What I decided upon was this: I wroto a note to Mr. Beardsley, con fesslng thnt his manuscript had been burned and asking him if ho had an other copy nnd begging him for Uio present to any nothing about the mat ter. My note brought him to see me at my home, and it wns plain thnt ho wns much chagrined nt tho loss of his manuscript. I told him I could raise $50, which 1 knew wns moro than any author unknown to tho public could get for n story of tho snnio length ns tho ono ho hnd submitted, no looked up nt mo with a curious expression when I said this, but mndo no reply, Ho left me, saying thnt ho would think over whnt wns best to do, but In tho meanwhllo I need give myself no un easiness concerning It This was very good of him, nnd I felt very grateful, A few days Inter I received a note from him saying thnt ho had decided to rewrito tho lost story. Work ho did over a second tlmo was always better than ids first effort If I could sparo tho tlmo to become his nninnuensls for tho work ho would not only oxcuso mo for tho destruction of the original man uscript, but if ho received a higher price for the second draft than ho had been offered for tho first ho would dlvli'v tho excess with me. I wfts only too glad to escape with this penalty nnd accepted tlio propo sition except ns to any pecuniary inter est In what be received for his story I gnvo him a couple of hours every working day for n month, nt tho end of which tlmo tho story was finished, In tho courso of another week I re colved a note from tho iiuthor contain ing a check for $250, which ho snld was my share of tho excess over what ho had boon offered for tho first draft of his story. And what was my con sternntlon to see In his Blgnnturo Uio Uiuno of ono of tho most gifted writ ra beforo tho public. IIo had made a bet with n friend thnt ho would submit a story to our magazine under an nssumed name and nothing would como of it Something more than ho expected did como of It hU story was burned. Tlmo showed why ho treated mo so nicely. It seems that ho had taken tho same fancy to mo Uint I had taken to him. Thnt is why ho wished mo for his iimanuonsls, IIo desired to bo with me, to becomo acquainted with me, nnd ns It turned out ho wns afforded an opportunity to make lovo to mo. I havo been his wlfo several yenrs and havo not yot heard tho last of tho burning of his produc tlon. Indeed, I nover expect to hear tho last of it What troubled mo nt tho tlmo was that I could not tell n gifted writer from a common scribbler, B . i ing the candle at i i i both ends . . It 1 docsti t make both ends meet. A better ivay is to burn our reliable, high grade coaL It burns up, giving greatest amount of heat with smallest of ashes.

Waterfowl have great powers of flight. The cunvusbnek duck covers from 130 to 1C0 feet a second. Tho blue winged teal and tho green winged teal, the blueblll nnd tho redheads nro only u little slower. Mallards, plntnlls, wood . ducks, black ducks nnd others can ensily fly faster than a mile a min ute. Even such largo birds ns cranes, Bwnns, pelicans nnd geese can lly nt n speed of mor than 100 feet n second. Tlio speed of waterfowl has often been measured with great nccuracy. Two men take positions on n duck pass a measured distance apart. The first man carries n stop watch nnd n gun. the second n gun only. As tlio fowl pnss the flrst blind the timer shoots in order to frighten tho birds Into full speed nnd stnrts his watch. As the ducks pass the second blind the man there fires n shot nnd the timer stops his watch. The usual lengtli of tlio course is n qunrter of n mile, although a mile "track" is sometimes used. Youth's Companion. A Lasting Window Polish. There is nn nrt In washing windows, nnd if they nro properly polished the operation need not bo repeated for n long tlmo. A really good polish will survive several rainstorms and will only require the dust to bo removed occasionally with a dry cloth. Tho In side of the windows should be washed with tepid water, without soap or pow der of any kind, rubbed dry with cha mois nnd polished with cheesecloth. A solution for cleaning the outside should be made from one ounce of pulverized whiting, one ounce of grain alcohol, one of liquid nmmonln nnd a pint of water. Spray tlio window with clear water to remove surfaco dirt nnd np ply the solution with a soft cloth. Let this dry on. Afterward polish with cheesecloth or tissue paper. If the glass has been badly scratched n filling may bo applied. This consists of an ounce of white wax dissolved in tur pentine. It should bo npplled beforo tho polishing. Wnshlngton Star. Questions. Thero are many different kinds of questions, but roughly spenking, they all may be included in the following three divisions; first, those which can bo answered; second, those which may be nnswered; third, those which should not be answered. Illustrating the flrst division are those questions which oth ers never ask of you and those which you never care to hear others answer; tlie second Includes questions which lire pointed, privute, public, perplexing nnd political; in fact, any questions which simpletons assert cannot be au swered; tho third division, questions which should not be nnswered, Includes what? Well, thnt is a question which should not be asked. Some people ask questions becauso they wish to know more; some nsk them because they desire to show what they already know, and some nsk them because they want to show what others do not know. Life.
