MITCHEL Margaret Brlerley was brought up by a couple of mnlden aunts, sisters, who wero well off and Intended Hint after their death Margaret should hnvo their belongings. Theso were in part a comfortable house and grounds in tho vllinge, In which they lived Mnrgaret proved nn apt scholar nnd wns graduated with honor. Since life with her aunts was very dull she yearned for something livelier. After a your of "sitting around holding her hands," ns she expressed it, she de termined to go to tho city to teach. Iter mints combated her resolution They reminded her that they had cared for her since sho was nn iiifnnt, edu cated her nnd given her everything sho wanted. All in vain. Ono morn ing when Aunt Sarah went into her room to nwnken her the bird bad fiown Three yours passed, during which there was no communication between the aunts nnd the ,iilece. Margaret was getting on well ns a teacher when she fell 111. Having no menus to pro vide n substitute for Lor school duties, sho wns dropped from tho salary roll Then tho poor girl began to regret that she had yielded to tho impulso to be Independent. Nothing reranlned for her but to go back to her aunts and ask their forgiveness nnd help. Tnklng ndvantngo of a Blight rally, sho spent her last funds for a railway ticket to iier former homo. Sho ar rived nt tho houso ns darkness wns falling. How comfortable everything looked! There were tho daluty white house, the porch nnd lattice covered with vines, tho tlowcr garden to one side, tho kitchen garden in tho rear, tho whole inclosed by tho low picket fence. Sho went as fast ns bor condi tion would permit up tho walk, opened the door nnd entered. All was still. "Aunt Elizabeth!" she called, with no reply. "Aunt Sarali!" Still no answer. She went through tho house, but found no one. Thinking that her mints bad gone out, sho took off her wraps and sat down in the living room bo fore the open fireplace, in which wore Ilvo coals. Presently she heard the front door open nnd shut. Sho nrosc, intending to greet her mints. Instead a young man entered. Seeing her, he paused. "Whero aro my aunts, Misses' Eliza beth and Sarah Stacoy?" "Are you Margaret Brlerley?" "I am." "Miss Elizabeth died a few months ngo, and Miss Sarah followed her in two weeks." Mnrgaret sank back in her chair and covered her face with her hands. It was some time before she spoke ngnln; then sho said: "Who lives here now?" "I do. I am Roger Blackmore, a distant connection of the two Indies. They made mo their heir." "Whnt shall I do?" moaned Marga ret, forgetful of the presence of nn- other. "Hnvo you not been successful?" "I am ill and without a cent in tho world." "You nro welcome to remnin hero as long aft you like. I will leavo you and send some ono to take caro of you." "What claim hnvo I on you?" "I will show you." Going to a desk, ho took out a pa per and hnnded it to her. It was the will of her aunts, leaving nil they possessed to him. There wns n clause stating that if their beloved niece, Mar garet Duncan, over returned in need it wns their desiro that tho snld Roger Blucknioro should relieve her wnnts. Sho looked up nt tho heir. "How can you relievo the wnnts of a woman near your own ago without" "I think your mints were mindful of that." "Then why this request?" "Perhaps they fancied" "Whnt?" "That wo might pool our issues?" "Pool our issues! Whnt do you mean?" "Mnrrlnge." Margaret made no reply to this. Sho felt that sho would bo willing to mnr- ry Polyphemus for n homo nnd rest. Presently she nroso slowly nnd with dlflleulty. "Whero nro you going?" nsked Black- more. "I don't know. I can't stny here." Ho went to her nnd gently forced her back in her chnlr. "Tho good la dles," bo said, "told mo that if you failed In your work they would bo plad If you and I could occupy their ld home nnd enjoy their income to gether." Mnrgaret sat silent for nwhlle, then looking up nt lilm, said: "As for mo, I can do nothing else. It remains for you to decide -whether or no you caro to nccord with the wish expressed." Without reply ho left her nnd went to tho tolephono booth. She heard him nsk: "Is tho Rev. Mr. Stnrk nt home? Toll him to como to tho Stacoy place Immediately." Then, returning to her, ho snld; "You can't lenvo hero In your present condition. If I permitted you to do so your mints would turn in their graves. You enn't stny hero alone, nnd I can't stny with you without Bcandul. You'll hnvo to tnko my un worthy self. It's hard luck for you, but It can't be holped." Sho put out her hnnd to him, and he bent down and kissed her. Tho parson enmo, nnd all was well. Urowth ot baseball.

Radbourne and Keefe, the opposing hurlers, were nt the height of their respective cn'rcei's. but they failed to draw the throngs. However, the players did not worry, as there wns nothing in It for them except glory. In the season of 1SS5 the series was a failure from nil standpoints.

Kupok, known in Ecuador ns "lana de celbn," or "vegetable wool," is u product of the largest tree that grows in the forests of the littoral, a species of the genus Erlodendron (allied to the cotton plunt). Tho ceiba bears most of its branches near the top, nnd the nppenrance of its bright yellow llow ers marks the approaching end of the rainless season. After the flowers fade the pods that yield the kapok of com merce aro formed. These are gath ered and the fiber extracted by hand. One hundred pounds of crude material yield, nfter cleaning, forty-five pounds of first grade kapok. Kanok is train ing in popularity in tho United States, wuere, among the other uses to which It Is put, it is employed in stufflm: muttresses mid sofa cushions nnd, it Is said, has found somo fuvor among makers of upholstery fabrics. Illustrating tho Idea. A school inspector was examining a class in grammar and trying to eluci date the complex relations of adjec tives and nouns by u telling example. "Now, for Instance," said he, "what am I?" That was an easy question, and all the children shouted: "A man!" nnd then looked around triumphantly. "Yes, but what else?" said the in spector. Tills wns not so easy, but nfter a pause a boy ventured to suggest: "A littlo man." "Yes, but there is something more than that" This wns a poser, but at last nn In- fnut phenomenon nlinost lenped from bis seat in bis eagerness nnd cried: "Please, sir, I know, sir nn ugly lit tle man!"
