The Gates of Gladness ; By GEORGE ELMER COBD (Copyright, 113 by the Weitsrn Nn. papr Union.) It wns tlio longing hope of Frances HolIIngs that she would be able to chtingc the gutes of gloom us she considered the portals to the fenced-in little red country srtioolhouse nt An pleton Into the gates of gladness. She had Just arranged for hoard and lodging with a widow lady nt the scat tered settlement. "You'll have your crosses, dear," Mrs. Potter declared, "and the princi pal one will be the Royston hoys." "Who arc the Uoyston hoys?" ques tioned Frances apprehensively. "Four .Tom, fourteen ; N'cd, his twin j rtob, twelve; Dick, ten. Did you no tice the largo house Just beyond the depot surrounded by Hr trees?" "Why, yes, 1 did," announced Frances, "and I noticed, too, a tall, grave-faced, scholarly looking young man at the gate." "That Is Mr. Nool Burton." recited her talkative landlady, "and he Is the adopted father of those four young tor ments. I fancy they have about worn him out with their pranks. They lend a rebellion at the school about once a month and your predecessor gave up his task In despair. There are other scholars who nre troublesome, but the Itoystons nre simply unreachable. "But docs not Mr. Burton try to curb them?" "He can't. About nil he thinks, about is his hooks, for he Is a great student. The boys overrun him and he Is too muci occupied with what ho calls a sense of duty to resist them. You see, when, his sister, a widow, died, he promised to be a father to the little orphans, and a nice handful he has had I" All this rather discouraged Frances, but by the time the school opened she had gathered up complete Information as to the history and traits of all of the scholars and had decided upon n definite policy. She stood in the open doorway as the odd-twenty children trooped In. To each she extended n welcoming hnnd. "I hope we nre all going to be like a happy, helpful family this term," she. said. Jem Hoyston grunted ungraciously and slipped past the extended hnnd, but each of his brothers returned the greeting cheerily. "Oli. I'm late ngalnl I'm nlwnys late!" panted n girl of twelve, dash ing breathlessly Into the study room after the last stroke of .the bell had sounded. "This Is Mercy Lisle, is It not?" quer ied Frances kindly. "Yes'm. And T have to help with the dishes." "I know all about It," Interrupted Frances graciously, nnd we are go ing to excuse you aiways, If you arc a little behind time. You mustn't run this wny, though, nnd get iril warm nnd flustered. Now, children! All hands fixed their eyes on the new teacher. Miss HolIIngs took from the hook the ragged, discolored fool's cap her predecessor had used. She walked to the stove and thrust It out of view. Then she picked up the ruler on the desk and beckoned to the elder Roy ston lnd. "You are stout and strong. Tern," she spoke. "Won't you plense break the ruler In two nnd throw It out of the window? We won't need thnt kind of thing any more, will we?" nnd Jem swelled up with Importance at this compliment to his strength nnd smartly showed oft In reducing the ruler to splinters. - A strange spell of calm brooded over the little schoolroom thnt morning. Jem Royston alone exhibited some rest lessness. At recess Miss HolIIngs called him up to her desk. "You like to be outside, Jem, do you not?" she Intimated. "Should saf I did! ITuh! If I had my way I'd be In the woods half the time." "That Is a good trait. It shows that you must love nature, nnd the birds, nnd the flowers. I hnve an errand for you to do, If you will be so kind. It Is to go down to tjie general store nnd get some crayons for blackboard servlcei You needn't come hack here till afternoon school." It was n strenuous week for the poll tic, though at times fearsome teacher diplomat, but nt Its end jShe burst In upon Mrs. Porter with a radiant face. "Oh, I am so happy!" she cried. "Those Royston boys have become my most loyal champions," "And Mr. Burton was over here on hour ago," said Mrs. Porter, "wonder ing what new mischief the hvN were breeding, for they had changed so in n week ho had got suspicious." Mr. Burton told the same story over again to Frances In person a week later, and lie seemed to entertain so favorable and grateful an opinion of the chnrmlng, friendly school teacher, that his delight was to stroll over to the little rod schoolhouse ami wnlk home with her. "The town trustees are dreadfully anxious to hnve you sign for another year," Mrs. Porter said to Frances nt the end of the school term. "I I have changed my plans," stam mered Frances, In an embarrassed way. "For the better, dear?" smiled the wise old widow. "And yu deserve It You managed those unruly boys as their teacher, and as their ndopted mother you will certainly make per fect angels of them 1" DICKENS' TWO LOVE AFFAIRS Biographers Generally Have Over looked Interesting Passages In tho Life of the Great Novelist. Tho many biographers of Charles Dickens have made little mention of his love affairs, though It la certain that the great novelist had loved pas sionately In his time, says a writer In London Ideas. It Is only In out-of-the-way little books that one comes across such revelations us this: "When only a boy of live yenrs Charles Dickens had a little playmate named Lucy, a beautiful falr-halred child, whom he loved to distraction. "It was his first love, and only u baby affection at that, hut the novelist never forgot It. It Is a fact that she Is the heroine of at least one Dickens novel." The original of Dora Spcnlow In "David Copperfleld" was n later love of Dickens, nnd one which was un happy for him. The lady, early in tho acquaintance, encouraged his affec tions, but her parents objected on tho score of the position he then held In life, and she Inclined fo their view. She went away to Paris to study art, nnd completely forgot the unhappy lover. Later, when Dickens had tt tained fame as a novelist, she wrote to him, and after a time there wus a meeting. . But tho lady whom the novelist hnd known and loved had changed. Charles Dickons, at all times a senti mentalist, was prepared to ftvid her grown old with him, but he did not nntlclpnto tho change In her character. And thus tho attempt at reconciliation failed of Its purpose, ::o:: Afr Qrr. See "Clinton & Son' (1X'-$S$ n.'"ut your Eyea and . satisfied. Sign ot the liig Ring. JOHN S. SIMMS. M. I).

Stokesny castle, which dates back to 1291, Is probably one of the finest of all England's old dwellings. Although called a castle, this ancient dwelling Is really a fortified manor, nnd all of Its ancient characteristics have been nnllntnlnod through the last GOO years. The great hall, which Is over 50 feet long and 0 feet wide, Is easily the most striking feature of tho old manor house. The windows of tho castle are nil large, and the hnll wns thus made a much more pleasant place to live In than the mnjorlty of houses built In Englnnd nt that time. During the thirteenth century the builders first began to make English dwelling houses pleasant to live In, Instead of mere places of shelter or defense. Windows of the king's houses w'ere ordered to be glazed, outside doors to have protecting porches, fire places to bo built, nnd numerous other household additions made. In some plnces the windows were filled with painted glass nnd the wnlls decorated with rare paintings. A process for producing bas-reliefs by photography Is tho fruit of the Invention of, an Italian scientist. The basis of the Invention Is the property possessed by a film of chromi um gelatin of swelling In proportion to the Intensity of the light fulling upon It. The swelling is greater with a low than with a high Intensity, so that the light passing through n pho tographic negative produces upon n chromium gelatin riate a positive In. distinct relief. The transparency of an ordinary negative, however, Is not truly propor tlonnl to tho relief of the orlglnnl model, but by an Ingenious automatic device Involving double1 exposure this difficulty Is nvolded and n negative is obtained having its lights and shades correctly graded to produce the effect of relief. Bluffing Among the Reptiles. Tho ancient practice of bluffing Is not limited to the human species. Va rious animals pretend to be worse than they are. The hog-nosed snake Is a perfectly harmless little fellow, with no capa cities in the way of poison, and yet this reptile, which Is rather pretty, is ' given such sinister names as flat-headed adder and snnd viper, nnd is usunl- ly killed on sight. This Is because It has the habit of flattening its head and puffing out Its neck and hissing vio lently, which Is for no other purpose than to frighten off Intruders. It Is a plain bluff, to give the impression that the reptile has poison fangs. This counterfeit Is usually taken at Its true value, and affords the hog nosed snake considerable protection, except In the case of human beings, who destroy the innocent reptile on sight, when It Is not only harmless but useful also In keeping down vermin. Second Hand. "What a lovely Dutch landscnpo!" exclaimed tho admiring visitor. "You've been to Holland, of course?" "Why, no," answered the artist, mod estly. 'When how were you ever able to paint such a realistic picture?" "To tell the truth, I copied It off a beer mug." Birmingham Age-Her. aid. Proof That Snails Have Sense. Those who contend that snails nre without sense may be referred to the oxporimpiit of a lady who proved otherwise. First she touched the mouth of n water snail with a little piece of lettuce, producing as a result a number of rapid mouth movements. At a later stage, as she was doing this, she also touched Its foot or creep ing sole with u glass rod. Finally, she so accustomed the snail to asso ciate' tho touch of the glass rod with the coining of food that Its mouth would begin to move Jiungrlly nt the pressure of the rod on Its foot, even when no food was offered. The effect of tho training, we are told, lasted for 5)0 hours after it had ceased. Then, like a human being might, the snail began to sulk, and re sponded no further. At a Disadvantage. There had been unplensant words before between tho dramatist and a lending comedian as to the latter's habit of adding Impromptu Jokes to his part. "There's no need for you to gag," said the dramatist angrily, after the comedian had done it again, "Your purt as written is quite funny enough. All you've got to do Is to say the words and wait for the audience to laugh." The comedian did not look convinced. "That's al right for you," he grumbled. "You live In town and can afford the time. But don't forget I have to catch the midnight train to my place In the suburbs, and I can' wait till the audience lnughs !"
