up before his sit

from Big Ben came floating over the

on the rapidly dying year. The roar

that you may grow trp in her foot
steps!" The circumstances tinder which his
letters to the girl went astray were to
him mysterious, but, as a matter of
fact, easily explained. The girl was
the daughter of a country lawyer, and
he bad made her acquaintance when
she was staying In a boarding house
In Bloomsbury, In which he was also
lodger. Her reason for being in
town was ihat she might Improve a
somewhat neglected education, and
she was taking singing lessons at a
school of mucic In the neighborhood.
An aunt took away this unwanted
daughter from among the large family
at home, to be a companion across the
Atlantic, and, suspecting her of flighti-

Carson often felt desolate, but never
so utterly as then, and as he paced the
floor the laughter of the happy crowd
seemed to mock him. He rang the bell
and ordered some tea. The demure
little maid looked at him, and, going
down stairs, said:
"Poor Mr. Carson, he looks so
strange and miserable!"
Returning, she found him sitting In
his chair gazing with half-closed eyes
into the fire. . Placing the tea on a
small wicker table by his side, che at

cannot bring the light of love and
companionship. The same round of
weeks and months, and so it will be
to the end. Ten years ago, in Old
Kentucky, we said Good-by.' It was
a good-by forever."
Apostrophizing the absent woman,
he continued: "Leila, Leila, to my
grave I take with me the love I bear
you. Why did we live to be parted so
ruthlessly? What strange fate has so
guided our destinies?"
He turned to the story of EVangeline
and read of the sufferings of that
heroic character. The reading soothed
him and he fell asleep.
The clocks were striking the twelfth
stroke of midnight when he awoke.
He barely opened his eyes, then closed
them again, and listened to the joyous
salutations of people meeting in the
streets. He was not selfish, neither
was he bad natured. No man who
every truly loved can be altogether
either. As he listened he said:

He did not finish the sentence, but
the tears came trickling down his
cheeks as he realized his barren life.
Then he became conscious that some
one had come into the room and been
a witness of his weakness and his se
cret secret because society said Wal
ter Carson carried his heart on his
sleeve and was incapable of deep affec
tion. So sitting up and turning round
he was startled to see seated on a
chair a tall lady, clad in deep mourn
ing and veiled so heavily that he was
unable to distinguish her face.
"Madam," he inquired, too taken
aback even to get up, "I should like to
know why I am thus honored?"
"I came in with the New Year. Not
an omen of ill-lack, I hope," replied
a musical voice: "but I first want to
know if Walter Carson 1b not an as
sumed name?"
"Why do you ask such a question?"
"For the best of good reasons, and
cs you will, not tell me, perhaps you
will allow me to say that I think your
real name is Herbert Wilton," pro
ceeded the mysterious stranger.
Carson was utterly unprepared for
this, and his surprise was painfully
manifest. Appearing not to notice it,
the lady went on:
"You are unhappy, I know, Mr. Wil
ton. I shall not call you Mr. Carson.
I am certain of it, because I was watch
ing you for ten minutes before you
opened your eyes. Can I be of any
help to you?"
"I don't usderstand you, madam.
answered Carson. "I have no trouble,
at least none that you could assist
me in."
"Has it any connection with an old
love affair?" very slowly asked the
veiled visitor.
"I must decline to discuss my pri
vate matters with an utter stranger,"
replied Carson, jumping up.
"Am I an utter stranger, Herbert?"
responded the stranger, also rising,
and as she did so throwing back her
veil.
"Leila! gasped Carson, looking
incredulously into her face.
"Yes, Leila." was the answer whis
pered, while her arms stole round his
neck, "come back to you with the New
Year, never to leave your side until it
so pleases God."
Then they sat down and she told
him how, three years before, after be
ing left a widow- she determined to
find out what had become of the sweet
heart of her younger days. How, by
a chapter of happy accidents, she
learned that he was In London. How,
on knowing this, she hurried over land
and sea, and just at the birth of the
New Year entered his room. She saw
the tears fall from his eyes, heard her
name mentioned, and his blessing go
out to her. All doubts were then at
an end.
"My children will be here by the
next boat, and you must bo to them a
father. Now I must go, as I'm weary
with the excitement of the day."
Carson drove her to her hotel, and
to him the New Year bells never
seemed to have rung such merry peals.
They rang into his life a New Year is
every sense. A ?ew days later there
was a quiet marriage, and on the fol
lowing New Year's Eve, as Carson and
his wife Jistened to the hour of mid
night strike, they thought, with hearts
full of love and gratitude, of the joy
ous meeting twelve months before.
NEW YEAR'S PASTIMES.
The ideal New Year's day, from a
sporting point of view, combines a
clear sky, cold atmosphere, light wind,
a mantle of snow on the ground and
lakes, and ponds well frozen. Such an
attractive array of weather conditions
has been denied the lovers of outdoor
sports In most parts of the United
States for several years, as the good
"old-fashioned, deep-snow New Year's
days" are few and far between. The
sport3 directly associated with New
Year's, however, are sufficiently nu
merous and diversified to please the
most exacting. A sleigh-ride behind
an ordinary horse or an afternoon's
fun on the Ice do not require athletic
training, but, when both become trials
of speed, robust constitutions and
thorough condition are requisites for
success. Nothing is more exhilarating
than a brush down the road behind a
trotter that can do three minutes or
better, and it takes one with lusty
lungs to face the keen, biting wind re
sulting from such a pace.
Shooting at the traps is a pastime
peculiar to the winter months and is
enjoyed by hundreds of gunners, who
set aside New Year's day for special
events that usually last from early
morning until sunset. Others take
their game bags and shotguns to the
country and try their luck at birds in
and out of season, paying well for the
latter if caught by the wardens oi
constables. The old-fashioned "shoot
ing match" and "raffle" are still en
gaged in in some sections of the coun
try. These are gala affairs, and it is
not an unusual thing to see some good
shot or lucky dice thrower go horns
with half a dozen turkeys over his
shoulders.
None of these sports, however, par
take of the hardihood displayed by the
thin-clad athletes who hold cross coun
try runs on the first day of the year,
whatever the conditions may be. At
tired only in swearters, trunks and
running shoes, these athletes, who are
innured to the cold through good
health and outdoor activity, race across
country with evident relish, while the
ordinary mortal stares and figures on
the number of pneumonia patients whe
will be placed under treatment on the
morrow. Nothing of the sort happens
by the way.

Balancing Oar Books.
When the year is ended and the
final summing up of accounts is finish
ed, it is comforting to look back and
to be able to say, In all sincerity, that
we have done the best we could for our
selves and for those about us. It Is
more than comforting to see that we
have gained something, that our ef
forts have been crowned with success.
and that we are by this advance
ment enabled to score a victory, even
though it may be trifling, over ad
verse circumstances. It encourages us
to redouble our efforts to make a bet
ter showing for the years to come, to
so order our affairs that this season's
gala will be but the beginning of bet
ter things, and that the great and
grand fabric of bur future may rise,
ever Increasing, ever more and more
beautiful, and end in a noble, manly,
womanly. Christian, symmetrical char

Prof. George P. Merrill, curator of

making a chemical analyses of the
specimen known as Ardmore meteorite,
has recently issued a statement con
cerning a stony meteorite which fell
near Felix, Perry county, Ala., on May
15. 3900, says the Washington Times.
Thfs meteorite has many points of re
semblance to the Ardmore meteorite,
which latter stone contains an element
so. difficult of classification as to lead
many scientists to believe that Prof.
Merrill Is on the point of discovering
a new mineral. Prof. Merrill, however,
does not share this belief, thinking that
under further examination the baffling
constituent will prove to be a known
quantity. For the details concerning
the fall of the Alabama meteor, as well
as for securing the specimen itself, the
National Museum is indebted to J. W.
Coleman, who visited the locality and
obtained the statements of eye wit
nesses. Prof. Merrill describes the gen
eral appearance of the state as follows:
"So far as can be learned a part of
the information being obtained by Mr.
Coleman from negroes the state at the
time of the explosion broke into three
pieces, the largest of which was the
one brought to Mr. Sturdevant, and is
said to have originally weighed about
seven pounds, as already noted. An
other small piece was found, but has
disappeared, and the third, if such
there was, was never found. The stone,
as obtained by Mr. Coleman, was
broken Into five pieces, which weighed
altogether 2,043 grams. It Is about

length by nine in breadth, and about
the same thickness, and was covered,

The railroad which , France extend

Algeria, from the seaport of Oran to
the town of Aln-Safra, on the south

desert. The road was built to Ain
Safra because that town occupies one
of the numerous breaches in the south
ern mountain ranges ieaaing to tne
Sahara and Is therefore favorably sit

into the desert. Aln-Safra is 3,570 feet
above the sea and lies on the Saharan
slope, its oasis being watered by a
perennial stream which flows east to
the Wady Nam us, whose waters flow
straight south into the Sahara.
The railroad, therefore, has been
pushed eastward along the valley of
the stream that gives life to Ain-Safra;
having reached the Wady Namus,

the broken surfaces is dark smoky
gray, almost black. It is very fine
grained, with numerous small dark
chondrules, not more than one or two
millimeters in diameter at most, and
with no metallic Iron visible to the
naked eye. The mass is quite soft and
friable, and resembles in a general way
the stones of Warrenton, Warren coun
ty, Mo., and Lance, France, more close
ly than those of any locality with
which the author Is acquainted. The
color is, however, darker than is the
Warren county stone, and the chon
dritic structure more pronounced than
in that of Lance. It is, moreover, uni
formly gray In color, and not speckled
with white, as is the last named. Un
der the microscope the stone is seen at
once to belong to the chondritic type,
as is indeed evident on close inspection
by the naked eye. The essential min
erals are olivine, augite and en.Btatite,
with troilite and native iron, the sili
cates occurring in the form of chon
drules or associated in more or less
fragmental particles, embedded in a
dark opaque or faintly translucent

the mineralogical composition to be as
follows: Metal, 3.04 per cent; troilite.
4.76; chromite, 1.17; graphite, 0.S6; sol

rabbits is to herd them into a netting
and then twist their necks. From 1,000
to 2,000 are rounded up in these expe
ditions. "Another Interesting phase of life in
Australia is tne hunting of the kanga
roo. Staghounds are used for this pur
pose. The kangaroos cover a good deal
of ground when pursued, but they are
no Judge of distance. Often when
leaping they will land right in the mid
dle of a wire fence, and then their
capture is easy. They will fight like
fiends when cornered, and I have seen
a fierce battle between them and the
hounds. Kangaroos weigh as high as
240 pounds. Under ordinary circum
stances they are docile, and many
families in Australia use them as pets,
the same as Americans like to have
dogs and cats around the premises."
