Tho coat lo light In weight and wore It not for tho weight of tho lining would Eccm as though mndo of the eoftont down. The color Ib a light silver gray when tho light la upon It from ono direction nnd no soon aa tho light is shifted It tunia to a clear gray. When ooen under a light not vory bright it has the appear ance of Jet black. Mr. Mallorner nays that It baa attracted so much at tention In tho eastern clticB that ho had to lay It nHldo to kcoprom being both ered answering questions as to what It was and where ho got It. "Tho fur of tho unborn music ox," eald he, "lo very rare. In fact, cannot bo had for money. Tho way I got the fur to make thin one was peculiar. Two yoara ago I mado n trip to tho Great Slave lako nnd in ilttlns out at Atha basca Landing I bought i cauoe, paying 5100 for it. It was along toward fall when I got back to tho landing and thcro I met nn old trapper, who had been "hunting and trapping along tho lakeR nnd rivers tor a number ot ycarc. He Bcemed to tako qulto a fancy to iny canoe, although he did not say any thing, but vaa looking it over carofully nnd noting lta good points, aa a horso fancier would a blood horse. Finally he stopped up to me and ould: 'Sny, mister, whnt are you going to do with that boat7' "At that time I had no oxpectationo of ercr going up "in that part of tho country again and, as the boat Could be of littlo value to me, I nuHwerod, 'Just to shot you that the Yankees are all right I'll gtv you that boat. Ho waa greatly pleased nnd, after looking It over again, bo cnltl: 'Well, I'll Just Bhow you that the old trapper Is nil right, too,' and, taking me over to his warehouse, ho got a number of thcoo furs and gave them to me. At a cash value they would bo worth many tlmoa the canoo and they wero his accumula tion for a number of years. "After mnklug thu coat I found that I only lacked two of having euough to make a Jacket for my ulster, nnd whon I went on my trip down tho Mackenzie this year I met tho trapper again and told him that I would like Jo get threo more. Ho loaned mo tho canon that J had given him tho year beforo, and when I returned to tho landing In tho fall he had three fura for me." SIi Nercr Told Her Ajjr. It wna tlio busy neaaou at a great bank. Long rovs of womon, Bomo anxious and doprcsscd-lookins. all of them with nn unmiBtnltablo air of wea riness, were waiting thrlr turn with boohs to bo presented for tho semi annual Jnterest. A pompous and many buttoned officlnl pncod back and forth with a look of determination to keep order or die on his grim visage. The woman nt tho window was a new de positor, tmd there wna a longer wait than usual, while sho answered nil tho questions relativo to her genealogy nnd that of her Bistern and her cousins and her aunts Information which ono.must always give to a great bank before It will condescend to receive, and some times loso, your monoy. At lant came the fateful question: "What Is your ago?" A faint bUtoh Etolo over tho faded cheeks, the antlquuted and corkscrew curio quivered with agitation, ns sho murmured, "I'd rather not tell, please." The bank cleric meant business. Ho had no sympathy with the mnlden mod 'caty of tho trembling nspirant to finan cial dignity. "O, but you must tell," he replied, somowhat brusquely. The blushes grew painful, but ther was still a loopholfi of escape. At least all tho world fchould not know hor age, and, raising herself on tiptoe so nn to bring her faco close to the window for she was short of mature she said: "May I whisper It, plense?" And tho woman behind wll) novor know how old sho was. Dr. JobUion'it Ilanhfiilnr.in.

Shortly nfter a servant whispered to Mr. Brooko that a gentleman was waiting below to speak to her. Uunnlng down stairs, tho fair novelist found tho ven erable lexicographer.
