TWO AND A MOON.
HE stood under the
green gloom of the
trees and by the
churchyard palings.
The white light of
the full moon shone
down on the graves
of wooers and
woed, touched the
face of the grent
church clock, and
threw open a long
perspective of broad suburban road
with trees and twinkling gas lamps,
and the red and green bull’s-eyes of
traveling tramcars. Opposite a little
rtation periodically belched forth a
bin stream of railway passengers be
ween the brown doors beplaatercu
with placards and news standa. Each
time the white cloud of steam rose into
the air, and the doors became partially
obscured with hurrying forms, she
moved a few steps forward, looked
tcroea anxiously, and then, as the last
traveler passed under the big lamp and
wse swallowed up In the car. bus, or
•Uatart road, she turned to the shadow
of the tree* and tapped a little foot
Impatiently upon the pavement. At
length, when tears of rage and disap
pointment filled her eyes and choked
In her throat, a man stepped briskly
over to the deserted path by the church.
She turned and began to walk slowly
away up the road, but the attentive
poae of her head betokened her knowl
edge of hie preaence. He reached her
aide and slid a hand down on her arm.
"Sorry to keep yon waiting, dear," be
■aid quickly and pleasantly. "An im
portant man came In and detained me.'
She did not respond to the coaxing
hand, marching along stiffly and say
ing, "0, It doesn’t matter!” In a voice
which showed that It mattered tremen
UVMIl/i
He cast a look at the pale, pretty face
set so haughtily upon watching the re
ceding ear Immediately In front of
them, thrust both hands Into bis coat
pockets, and said, with a eplce of sharp
weariness In his tone, "Well, what's
wrong, then ?"
She resented the sharpness, and did
not hear the tiredness; so she answered:
"0, well, I'm getting a little tired of
‘buslnees’! You are always busy now.
You have always a man to see, a letter
to write, a call to make, an Important
negotiation to conduct, a committee to
attend, a document to consider. And,”
she added, smiling slightly at her
mocking eloquence, “if It Is not one of
these ordinary events, It Is another still
more usual—you are tired.”
He frowned; but fce said cheerfully,
"Well, that Isn’t my fault, Is it? I
work hard, and hard work means fa
tigue when evening comes."
She did not see the frown, and his
light dismissal of her arguments against
him vexed her. She would show him
she was not to be trifled with. She
looked up at the great rousid moon and
said airily: "There Is only one thing
left, then. It Is very evident that you
have not a moment to spare In your
life. You have often told me you could
not spare the time you give me—a
little hour walk twice a week. Well,
a lover who Is always too busy and too
tired to give bis sweetheart any of his
society isn't much of a lover for a girl
to have, Is he?”
"I suppose not,” he replied gravely.
"I am always being disappointed and
put off, or kept waiting. Other girls go
out walking with their lovers very
often. When I go out with you it is
quite an event, and one which you ap

pleasurable society (or me (or several
months. Many girls would not submit
to such treatment."
“There are many girls 1 should not
ask to do so,” said he quietly.
The long road had darkened. A
thick, gray cloud sailed up out of the
east and passed over the inoon. Only
Its edges were silvered by the radiance
It obscured, aud a few stars peeped
through misty Inttislices.
"So, as you are so busy, and your life
bo filled with other things. It Is quite
certain you have no room for me In It.
1 am tired of constantly waiting for
you, tired of your continual business,
your eternal wearinees
He raised his head with a sudden
movement, and said sternly und fu
riously:
"Nol You want a lazy, lack-brain

He quichvned hie warn to a ewiugtug
stride. She glanced al him sidewis*
aud began in waver in her ronlldeuie
of her wrwnga. The lamps gleamed out
brightly against the dark aky. The

| Jeers at me because I am tired!" He
! choked a little, then anid soberly: "Ah,
well, better now thnn later!”
She began to be frightened. Her
wrongs—where were they? What were
j they? Other girls? Other girls didn’t
j have lovers like this one—strong, clever
1 and Instinct with manliness. Where
was there a man like him. so gentle,
kind, true? How tender he had been,
how loving! She erept eloser to him
and touched hls coat-slecve. An hour
ago and her hand would have been
taken In hls warm, firm palm. He did
not notire It now. She put her hand on
hls arm. It remained there and they
walked together. At last she sighed.
He looked down with a sudden
thoughtfulness. "You are getting tired.
Let us go back."
"O, Dick, don't be croas!" cried she,
clinging to him.
“I’m not cross. Make haste, now.
We have walked farther than I Intend
ed."
She patted hls arm caressingly with
her fingers, and once leaned her cheek
against hls shoulder in the dark quiet
ness of the street.
The clouds began to sift gradually
apart, and the star* were vialble.
They were getting near home. He
must not leave her like this.
“O, Dick, dear, 1 do love you!" en
treattngly.
He laughed bitterly. "I know you do,
my dear,”
“Don’t, Dick! I do love you—O, I do,
I do!”
"If you loved me you couldn't aay
such things to me. You say I’m always
tired. You know I am tired because 1
em working for our future. You say I
don’t think of you, or cure for you, a*
other men do for their sweethearts.
Look hcre”~~he drew a little bouquet,
carefully wrapped In wadded paper,
from a side pocket—"you said you
wanted some of this flower. I bought
that tonight, and lost a train by doing
so. I thought, ‘She will be pleased
with that; I’ll go back and get it.’ 1
did, and lost the train. Here’* the
book you said you would like to read,”
and he pulled It from another pocket. #
She looked wistfully at the flowers
and the book, but did not attempt to
take them. She caressed his arm si
lently.
They reached her home.
"No, 1 won't go In yet,” she said, des
perately. "1 won't go In till you forgive
me."
"O, I forgive you, dear! Now run In;
it Is late.”
“No, not that forgiveness,” ahe vowed
—Impetuously stamping one foot down.
"I want you to love me. I love you.”
‘How can I love you when you throw
other men at me, and Jeer at me?"
“I don’t. O, I know 1 am a beast.
Dick, darling! But I do love you. Truly
I do!”
"Then what makes you go on so?"
he asked, half smiling at the face up
lifted to him.
The clouds were far apart, and the
moon shone through a diaphonous veli
tinting the housetops with silvery
whiteness and forming great shadows
on the streets.
"Why," nervously, "I think It Is be
cause I am naturally wicked, Dick,”
and the pure, tremulous eye* were
darkly remorseful. "I am always think

FEMININE ELECTRICITY.
The rnHalterlng Term “NegstlvY* Is
Miill (teed.
From the beginning It. had been no
ticed that there were two kinds of cler
ical forces, but these were named, with
reckless discourtesy, positive and neg
a live an though the second had been
Inferior, Inactive, merely receptive,
says Harper's Weekly, And yst there
were suggestions of the true relations
of these two f#rces that should not
have been overlooked. It la recorded
that alx yearn nftei the Hi. Petersburg
professor's fatal experiment (about
1759), Robert Hymmer, "when pulling
off his atocklnga In the evening, re
marked that they gave a cracking
nolee and emitted nparka" Hy varied
experiments he discovered that tho
electricity was moat powerful when a
allk and worated storking had been
worn on the aame leg, or, If the Block
ings were both of allk, then more di
vining results weie obtained when
they were of different colora. Two whiU
allk atocklnga or two black ones gavi
no electrical Indications. Whan a black
and white atocklnga were withdrawn
from the aame leg, and then separated,
they were so much Inflated that each
showed the entire shape of the leg and
at a distance of eighteen Inrhea they
rushed to meet each other. Beparated
hy force they would again become In
flated. nnd he ns ready to rush together
as before. When this experiment wna
performed with two black stockings In
one band and two white In the other,
the repulalon of thoae of the aame color
—their Jealousy and the attraction of
those of different colora would "throw
them Ir.to agitation and make them
catch each at that of Its opposite color
at a greater distance.” Plainly this
eighteenth century student had to do
with masculine and feminine electric
ity and yet the unflattering term "neg
ative," aa applied to the feminine, has
persisted even to our day.
Ona Handrail Million Stars.
The latest computation on the atari
visible In both hemispheres puts the
number of such shining orbs up to the
high mark of 100,000,000. The astrono
mers have odd ways of estimating the
number of these brilliant polnta of
light. By figuring from the apparent
diameter of the full moon It is shown
that the area of the whole aky visible
to man In both hemispheres Is 41,266
square degrees. The area of the whole
star apace, according to this mode of
reckoning, Is only equal to about 200,
000 times the area of a full moon, figur
ing that the moon’s apparent dlamdter
at that time la slightly over half a de
gree. This' would give 2,424 stars to
each square degree, or a total of 100,
000,000, which would be equal to 600
stars on each apace In the aky aa large
aa a full moon.—St. Louts Republic.
Th* I'ycllnif Tramp.
The cycling tramp Is one of the prod
ucts of the wheeling craze and Is, If
possible, more objectionable than his
pedestrian progenitor. Hla machine
and hla vestiges of r< speciablllty enable
him to approach you more readily, and
he Is harder .to shake off and seems to
possess a greater variety of woeful
tales to support his application for a
temporary loan. He Is Indigenous In
America, has been Introduced Into Eng
land, where he Is rapidly becoming ac
climatized, and we fear be may bafore
long put In an appearance In this coun
try ahslt omen.—Irish Cyclist.
