And sorrow s shafts fly thicker.

Indemnifying flestneas;

Daisy's Blue Beads.
BY MRS. MOSE3 P. HANDY.

Mother," said Daisy Mason, Impa
tiently, "why on earth don't Jo Davis
uk Emily to marry him and be done
with it? He has been coming here
to e her every Sunday night since 1
can remember, and nothing comes of
it."
Oh, well," replied Mrs. Mason,
soothingly, "there's no hurry. They
are young, and have plenty of time.
am sure I'm not anxious to have Kmily
.married. I don't know what we should
do without her."
"Nor I," admitted Daisy. "But I am
tired having people ask me when be
and Emily are going to be married. It
would be a relief to my feelings to be
able to tell them that they were en
jaged."
"I don't see what people have to do
with It It is none of their business
who comes courting Emily."
"No, it isn't, and that is Just what
makes me mad. They talk as if Jo
was Just flirting."
"Now, Daisy, you know that is ridlc
ulous. Everybody in town knows
that Jo fairly worships the ground
Emily treads on. Why, he never looks
at any other girL"
"Then, why don't he speak out
Mother, do you think they can be en
gaged?"
Mrs. Mason shook her head. "No,
Indeed, Emily would have told me, cer
tain, sure."
Yea, I suppose she would. But he
ought to ask her. I wonder Emily
standi It I wouldn't, I know. Fath
er ought to ask him bis intentions.
I've a great mind to do it myself."
"The idea. Aa if father would do
such a thing. Why, it would scare Jo
to death, and Emily would die of mor
tification." -
"And then we should have two fun
erals instead of a wedding. 1 don't
care, somebody ought to do something.
It makes Emily ridiculous, and I'm
going to tell her so."
"No, Daisy, don't do any such
thing," ald her mother. "All people
aren't alike, and you would only hurt
your stuter'a feelings. You know Jo
is dead in love with her, and he will
tell her ao when he gets ready."
"Well, 1 wish he'd hurry up. 1 don't
think much of a man who wants to
marry a girl and hasn't spunk enough
to say so. I think 1 see any man treat
me like that" And Miss Daisy gave a
toss to her pretty head which boded

was an only child. It was fragment

lesson's ear, had wrought her up oo

There was a third slstpr'ln the Mi

next to Daisy. Kosy Mason was a gen

wise beyond her years, and her bright
sayings were told and quoted all over
town. Jo Davis was especially fond or
her, and pild her almost as much at
tention as he did to Emily. It was to
this little aister that Daisy turned for
help in tho present emergency.
"Rosie," she asked, "can you keep a
secret?"
" 'Coursa I can," answered Rosle, In
dignantly. "Don't you know mother
says I never tell anything 1 oughtn't
to?"
"Yes, but this Is different I want
you to ask Jo Davis if he and Emily
are going to be married."
The little sister was shocked. "Oh,
Daisy, I couldn't. Mother would be an
gry, and Emijy wouldn't like it a bit"
"Listen, Iioey. They won't mind at

let anybody know 1 put you up to it
I'll give you my blue beads if you will."
"Your blue beads? Oh, Daisy, real

looked doubtful.
"Yes, my blue beads, for your very

own. Now, listen. You know Jo wants
to marry Emily, everybody knows It,
and we are all willing that he should,
but be is so bashful that he don't dare
ask her. Now, if you help him out he
will be fonder of you than ever."
"I think she would say yes if he ask
ed her, don't you, Daisy?"
"Of course I do; but she can't if he
don't, and she would be pleased, too,
so you see nobody would mind, don't
you ?"
"Are you sure, Daisy?"
"Yes, dear, quite sure. And then
think what fun it would be to have a
wedding in the family. I would be
bridesmaid and you and Jo's little
cousin Nellie would be flower girls. You
would have a beautiful new white
dress, and a big hat all flowers and
chiffon; oh, it would be grand. You
know I wouldn't ask you to do any
thing wrong. Then you shall have the
beads, as soon as you ask him, and If
mother and Emily are angry 1 will
take all the blame. Hut tbey won't be.
Everybody will be glad."
During the next day or two Kosle's
wise little head did a great deal of
thinking. The more she pondered the
more it seemed to her that Daisy was
right Jo must love Emily or he would
not come to see her so often. He never
went to see any other girL People
certainly expected them to get mar

was always trying in find out every
thing, endeavored to pump her, Kosy,
again and again, and called her a sly
little puss, because she told her noth

Not even Carrie Wells', that all the
girls at school made so much fuss over,

iterated her assurances, saying:
'The next time Jo and Emily are by
themselves, and Jo calls you his little
sweetheart, all you have to do is to
tell him that you had rather be his lit

to marry Emily; he will be your
brother If he doe, you know. How
can he mind that?" And Kosle agreed
that be couldn't
Fortune favored her. The next Sun
day was a bright September day, and
Joe and Emily had the parlor to them
selves. Daisy bad discreetly gone for
a walk, and the rest of the family were
sitting out on the porch. Kosle went
to the door of the' parlor and peeped

STOPM
SIGNALS
Wireless if iegraphy, high towers and
electric lishts are some of the devices
which the weather bureau is bringing
into play for the Improvement of the
service. Prof. R. A. Feasenden of the
weather bureau is making experiments
with wlrcleF telegraphy along the At
lantic coast from Cape Hatteras to
Cape Henry, says the New York Presa.
This marks the first serious attempt
to communicate warnings to vessels at
sea off the dangerous coasts of Vir
ginia and the Carolines. It Is intended
to send storm signals to all the life
saving stations along the coast by this
means when the wires are down, as
they frequently are. Then each life
saving station can hoist storm signals
and warn vessels off shore. The towers
for the wireless telegraphy are being
erected, and a corps of experts will aid
Prof. Kessenden In his experiments. If
they are succeaaful It is probable that
the system will be extended all along
the coast. In increasing the height of
the towers at signal stations of the
weather bureau the idea is to make the
warning of the bureau visible over a
greater area. Already fifty high steel
towers have been built, and 100 more
have been contracted for. They will be
erected at stations on the shores of ttie
great lakes and on the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts. On these towers are to
be hoisted the flags which show by day
and the lamps which shine by night to
warn ; the mariner of approaching
storms. Just now the government Is
looking for the best sort of lens to use
in the signal lamps. Not only Ameri
can but foreign firms have entered
into the competition, and the govern
ment is sure to get the best lenses'
made In the world for the purpose. As
far as possible, electricity will be used
for the lighting of the lamps in these
signal towers. Heretofore signals have
been displayed from the tops of build
ings or poles placed In places not al
ways conspicuous. Now, with steel
towers seventy feet high built in the
most conspicuous place that can bi se
lected, great improvement In the serv
ice of the weather bureau la looked f r.
Where the tower is built near a city
or near a line of elertrlc-llght cables
the supplying of light to the signals
will be easy, but In many places oil
lamps will have to be used, electricity
being unobtainable. Where electricity

mariners rely more and more upon the
predictions of the weather bureau, and
therefore this Improvement in the
maritime signal service will be appre
ciated greatly by masters of vessels.
Vessels bound out either do not leave
port when storm signals are flying, or
if they do they prepare for the pre
dicted storm, and so, not being caught
unawares, are able to weather it. Here
are the storm signals which will fly
from the high towers, the notice to put
them up probably being sent by wire
less telegraphy:
A red flag with a black center Indi
cates that a storm of marked violence
is expected. The pennants displayed

the wind; red, easterly (from northeast
to south); white, westerly (from
southwest to north). The pennant
above the flag Indicates that the wind
Is expected to blow from the northerly
quadrants; below, from the southerly
quadrants. By night a red light Indi
cates easterly winds, and a white light
above a red light westerly winds. A red
pennant displayed alone at stations
on the Atlantic, Pacific and gulf coasts
Indicates that the local obaerver has
