" came in a clear , musical voice from the dark shadow of the creeper-shaded porch. "Ready ! " laughed the map. "Aren't you ashamed of yourself , Miss Ander son ? Here I've been kicking my heels these twenty minutes waiting for you to get that hat of yours on. Are you , sure it's , straight at last ? There/s a tearing breeze up the river , and I'm afraid it won't slay long at the correct angle. " v , "You're rude , " returned the girl with a merry smile , as she ran down the steps on the lawn. "Well , come along , now ; you shan't accuse me of wasting any more time. I'll race you down to the boats. " And she flew ahead of , him so fast that he , laden as he was with rugs and cushions , was left hope lessly in the rear.- "Not fair , " he gasped , as. coming out through a belt of rose-hung trellises , they arrived on the low wooden land ing stage that edged the gleaming wat ers of the sunny stream. A sailing dinghy of fair size lay off the wharf tugging'at Its painter as the current caught it. A piping breeze hummed in the great oaks and elms which lined the sliore , and curled the clear waters into crispy wavelets. Carefully the young fellow arranged a cozy nest amidships for his compan ion and gave her a hand in. Then , slipping the knot of the painter jmd himself jumping in , in a minute he had got up the big main and tiny fore sail , and , heeling slightly over , they were away , the sharp bow slapping through the short ripple. "Isn't this perfect ? " cried the girl , as , reaching the middle of the stream , a strong puff filled the sail and sent them spinning along before it at a glorious rate. The excitement had flushed her cheeks and made her dark eyes shine. Gerald Thornton's glance betraj-ed the admiration he had so long striven to conceal. "What an ass I am , " he said to him self for about the hundredth time , "fluttering round the candle like some wretched moth. I shall get singed in the end. Yet yet sometimes I al most think she does care. Oh , if only I wasn't such a wretched pauper I vow I'd try my luck get out of my misery , anyhow. " Carria Anderson's quick glance noted his momentary abstraction , and she turned away to hide a smile. It was a soft , little smile , and would have told Gerald something if he had seen it. Only , unfortunately , Gerald was too busy with the sheet and tiller to notice it. , Gerald Thornton was a young man ot a type rare , perhaps , but not so rare as some novelists would have us be lieve. He had so strong a sense of honor and personal pride that though sincerely in love with Carrie Anderson he would not ask her to marry him simply because she had a good fortune of her own , and he , comparatively speaking , a mere pittance. He tried , "SPEAK TO ME. " indeed , to keep away fioni her , but could not always refuse the kindly in vitations of old Mrs. Anderson , her aunt. And Gerald had another rare quality modesty ; another man would have read a good deal more than he did in the girl's manner toward him. They were now rapidly approaching the "narrows , " where a long , low spit covered with thick shrubbery cut the stream to half its usual width. The wind was freshening and full on the beam , and the little craft lay over till its gunwale was rimmed with a racing streak of snowy foam. "We shall just clear it without tack ing , " said Gerald , as they neared the point. The water was fairly deep right up to the bauk , ami they slipped by without touching bottom , though the long boom rustled against projecting boughs. "Oh , what lovely flowers. " cried Car rie , reaching over in a vain effort to grasp a great spray of dead white syringa which hung far out over the water. "Duck , Mfss Anderson , duck ! " cried Gerald , sharply. As they passed he had suddenly noticed that around th& point a strong slant of wind would take them right aback. He threw his helm up , but just too late. The long boom swung sharply over and struck the girl full on the forehead. With a little cry she slipped back into the bottom tom of the boat. To loosen the halyards from the cleaks was with Gerald the work of but a slngle moment , and as the big sail came flapping downwards he ten derly raised in his arms the tumbled white heap and bent over her In a per fect agony. An ugly red mark show ed just where the little rings of hair curled over the forehead , and a single drop of blood had started and stood out on the white skin. Her face was deathly pale and her eyes tight closed. "My darling ! " cried the poor boy. "Carrie , speak to me. " But she lay quiet and motionless. Wa she dead ? He could hardly perceive her breath- Ing. Quickly Gerald pulled out a handkerchief , and , soaking it over the side , began bathing her forehead with the cool water , murmuring all the time broken expressions of endear ment. Minute after minute passed , and still she did not move. Gerald will never forget the misery of these moments. He was just making up his mind to give It up and pull ashore for assist ance when suddenly her eyes opened. , With a wan little smile she looked up , realized what had happened , where she was , and then Gerald could never be lieve his eyes and senses sank com fortably back into his protecting arms. "Don't worry , " she whispered. "It isn't much ; I shall be all right soon. " And she looked up again through long black lashes. Gerald's resolutions were like wax under a summer sun. 'Whose would not be ? He stooped and kissed her. She blushed a little. "You've been a long time making up your mind , Ger ald , " she said. Gerald's head was in a whirl be tween ecstasy and a remembrance of bis resolutions. He made another struggle. "I've always loved you , " he said , pimply ; "you know that. But I can't ask you to marry me ; you must feel why. " Carrie's lips were wreathed in a lit tle smile. "Must I ask you , then ? " she inquir ed. "It isn't usual , you know. " Gerald stammered something to the effect that he could not live on his wife. "You're a foolish boy ! " Carrie laugh ed. "I see I shall have to propose in due form. And you can't refuse a lady , can you ? " * * * * It was a year later. Again a bril liant day , and again Gerald and Car rie were spinning up the river in the self-same dinghy. The girl , looking distractingjy pretty , was leaning back on her cushions and gazing with quite undisguised admiration at her belov ed husband's skill in managing the boat. "Well , are you tired of 'living on your wife's money' yet , Gerald ? " she said , suddenly. Gerald laughed. "I believe I earn my living , " he replied. "It's rather a good thing for me you pocketed your pride and condescended to manage my affairs for me. That colliery is paying for positively the first time. "Why , " she went on , "bere we are at the 'narrows' once more. " They spin fast , neither of them speaking , and this time without a jibe. "Do you think you would ever have proposed. Gerald , .if it hadn't been for that accident ? " musingly continued Mrs. Thornton , when they had rounded the bend. Gerald hauled in the sheet a little. "I don't know , dear. " he said. "I nev er got such a fright in my life. I be lieve I felt guilty of murder when I saw your face so pale and held your limp little body in my arms ; but for me at least it was the luckiest of acci dents. " The Rambler. RECENT INVENTIONS. Railway tracks can be cleaned of snow or dirt by the use of a Pennsyl- vanian's invention , consistig of a res ervoir , with outlet pipes extending < o the rails , with means to supply water , air or steam or a combination of all three to the surface of the rails. One of the newest flashlight dis chargers has a bowl mounted at the end of a hollow stem , with a lid to keep the powder in place , a match being slipped into the stem until Hie head is at the entrance of the bowl , MUCH it is forced through a grated opening by a trigger in the stem. A Georgia man has designed ar. at tachment for rocking cradles , consist ing of a coiled ppring set in a casing and geared to a vertical arm to rock the upper end in a horizontal direc tion , two springs at the lower cn l im parting a reverse motion to the arm to sway the cradle. To prevent food from burning as it is being cooked a piece of tin is bent around the kettle , with the ends con structed to interlock in notches at in tervals , with a sliding yoke to hold them in place , the device being ad justed to any desira ! size by moving the ends. A Minnesota woman has invented a wash boiler , having a wire basket car ried by a flanged ring , which rests on the top of the boiler , the basket being inserted before the clothes are put in and lifted out when the clothes have boiled sufficiently , bringing all the gar ments with it. JLKo In Ihr Tcviinf. The Oriental official chuckled glee fully. The iron boot had been placed on the foot of the victim , and the royal minions were screwing it tighter and tighter to force a confession from his lips. "Aha ! " merrily laughed the official. "Dost thee not feel almost persuaded to confers that thou wert in a conspiracy to poison the waters of the Golden Horn , with the contents of the vial which my faithful officers fount ! in thy pocket ? By the beard of the prophet ! Screw tighter , men , for he seems to be enjoying the whole af fair ! " "Why. you doddering old fos sil ! " cheerfully replied the victim , "that vial had ecru cure in it ; and as for your old fashioned iron boot here , why , let me tell you that I lived in America , when the styles of shoes changed from broad toes to pointed.

Choate said : "A repor ter asked me last week for this speech. I told him I had no copy. How can I make an after dinner speech before dinner ? " Said he : "Well , we have Mr. Depew's in cold type. ' " Mr. De- pew spoke shortly after. "The repor ter , " said he. "called on me and said as to Choate. 'I have them all , ' but a'- so added , 'Have you any poetry in yours ? ' Paid I. 'No. ' 'Well.
