CJniJshs tweaked Ills ear , answering Boftly : "Of course not. You have boon lu love with Hose since you wore trou sers. I wouldn't say things about your dear cousin that was to be , Jody Witts" "Six double sets were already danc- Jlng under the big hush arbor when the I fflnilli'y.s drove up. High above the dantors a string bund played for dear Ufa , while the leader of It called the figures In a loud , merry voice. Out un der the trees other people sat , usually young people , fittingly paired and so capt one In the other they had eyes for Kittle else besides.

" "Your pretty speeches must be sadly En need of air , " Gussle said , with a lit- etc sidelong look nt John. It anur/.od Bittr to see him frown and turn away , gnawing his mustache. Fltts caught Cae look and smiled n little , but press- e X toward the arbor , saying as they Beached the edge of It : "You nre going to dance with mo. XQeyurcan you longer doubt my dcvo- deuT * " "Oh , I don't know. You were nl- ways devoted to yourself , " Gusslo said , smiling wickedly. lltts pretended to frown. "I Bee you ore not properly Impressed with the ciuiKgtt In me , " he said. "Understand , 2 .tavc escaped from the Jody stage. Knstcad , behold Joe Fltts , very much at jtjur service. Do you know I came down here Just to find you ? " "CCvo , nnd I don't think I shall ever find it out , " Gussle retorted , beating time with her foot. , The quadrille was In its last whirls. Kltts raised his hand and nodded ellght- Ry to the leader of the band. Instantly tthe fiddles broke out iu the maddest , cuerrlest twostep.

John felt hlniHolf grow hot an ho watched Augusta and young FittH through their madly gay rush. No harm in It , of course , but Hhe had never waltzed oven with him. Hlu brows drew HO portentoiiKly together UOHO Lee mulled significantly IIH Hhe came up behind him and touched IIH ! arm. Evi dently HIO ( had It In mind to Hay KOIIIG- thing pomothlng n little bit out of the common. But a great clattering ntlr at the arbor's farther end Hllcnced her. A family carriage , nmty and ancient , had drawn up there , the horses panting and llecked with foain. Mit from the door of It Htrodo an awful figure , Grandmother Wills , in dead black , the plumes of her bent bonnet nodding hoarHowlno over her forehead. As she caught sight of Augusta whirling half Inclosed by a Htrnnger'H arum Hhe gave a cry that Hlleneed every string and brought the nparso dancers up stand ing.For For half a mlnnto no words would come. Then , with the binning fall of molten Iron , nho cried : "WantonI ShnmeleHH wanton ! Never , never Hliall you darken my doors agalnl" All In a IhiHli Fltts appeared to com * prebend.

I I have no granddaughter , " Mine. Wills wild Icily. riiiHHle had grown white. She left FittH and went close to the furious old woman , Haying an she bowed her head : "Grandmother , don't , don't CUI-HO me , for my mother' * ) sake and your own. Lot mo go home with you , It was wrong to trick yon" Madame turned away ns though she had not heard. Softly Fltts held out UH ! hands. Before Gussle could reach him John had leaped to her side and was holding her clone In the face of nil the world. "You're a trump , but mine Is the older claim , " ho said , holding out a hand to Flits , who wrung It hard. As for GusHlo , Hhe was too happy and too miserable to Hay a word either way. n How. Travelers received by the sultan of Morocco wore at ono time required to make the customary obeisance of the country , but that ceremonial Is now omitted. The reason , according to La dy Grove in her "Seventy-one Days' Camping , " goes back to a slight ' -'octal awkwardness Involved In carrying out that prescription. A distinguished naturalist had been presented to the sultan , and as ho bowed his head to the ground , instead of supporting himself with his hands , ho placed them behind his hack ; con sequently his forehead came against the marble floor with a loud bang , and ho had some dilllculty In recovering himself. The sultan was amazed. "Has not the gentleman had the honor of enterIng - Ing the presence of his own sovereign ? " he nuked another visitor later. "Probably ho has had that honor , your majesty , " was the answer. "Then , " said the sultan , "he should have learned the art of maklmr saluta tions without the occurrence of such accidents. " Thereupon his majesty learned with astonishment that this lowly form of obeisance Is not observed at European courts , nnd ho .Immediately decreed that none but the usual customs de manded by European sovereigns should bo required of Europeans when they entered or left his presence. A Clon ( Combination. "They can get up combinations in the west , to beat tlio band , " said a Phila delphia drummer who had come In off a trip and had n shortage to explain. "In a town in western Iowa I had n difference of opinion with n landlord nnd called him a liar. lie was a depu ty sheriff , and ho arrested me. Ills brother was prosecuting attorney , nnd ho was against me. The Judge was his brothcr-ln-law , and ho tried the case. I said I'd take ten days In Jail sooner than pay the line , but when I came to be locked up the jailer said tome mo : " 'You'd better pay. I'm the father In-law of the Judge , and It will be my duty to put you In n cell with a pris oner who's gone crazy and wants to kill somebody. " "I paid and was released , " said the drummer , "but I wanted revenge. I went to the only lawyer in town with a reputation and stated my case urn ! asked him to take It. " 'Yes , ' he replied , 'but think how it would look. I'm son-in-law to the Jailer. ' " VRly Hindoo TV'omcn.

Notahlr Probably the munllest painting ever made WIIH the work of the wife of a Flemish nrtlHt.

Upon the terrace where the mill stood was a cart and horse , nnd on the road lending to It Hcvernl pennants were shown. The picture was beautifully finlnhcd , nnd every object was very dls- Mner , yet It was so amazingly small that Its surface , so the story goes , could bo covered with n grain of corn. In contradistinction to this the lar gest painting , exclusive of frescoes nnd panoramas , Is Tintoretto's "Paradise. " It Is hung In the grand Biiloon of the doges' palace at Venice and is 81 feet wide and Ul feet high. Michael Angclo's fresco In the Slstine chapel of the Vatican completely cov ers the vaulted roof , which measures 133 feet In length and -13 feet In width.

They are the most timid and bashful people in the world , being too shy to j mingle with tlio other races of the is land. They dwell In the darkest re cesses of the mountain forests and liave seldom been seen by white men. One 1ms never boon known to willingly face a stranger. This being the case , j their trade with the Malayans is car ried on In a very strange way. The trader announces his arrival by beat ing a gong and then retires from the place of rendezvous. The shy Kubus then approach , put their forest treas ures on the ground , beat the trader's gong and retreat. The trader then re turns and lays his commodities down In quantities sulllcleut to pay the pur chase price of the goods oil sale. lie then disappears for a second time , this to give the Kubus n chance to re turn and consider the bargain. After many withdrawals , approaches , gong beatings , etc. , an understanding is ar rived at , and each party carries away its bargain. This remarkable race knows nothing of n supreme being , licnvcn , hell or evil demons. They have no system of marriage and never bury their dead. They live on snakes , ants , bugs , grubs , etc. The Creation off the Camel. There is an Arab tradition cited In Burton's "Gold Mines of Mldlan" re garding the creation of the camel which illustrates the popular but erro neous opinion that this nnlmnl is ugly In form nnd temper. The story goes that when Allah de termined to create the horse he called the south wind nnd said , "I desire to draw from thee a now being ; condense thyself by parting with thy fluidity. " The Creator then took a handful of tills element , blew upon It the breath of life and the noble quadruped appeared. But the horse complained against his Maker. Ills neck was too short to reach the distant grass blades on the march ; his back had no hump to steady a saddle ; his hoofs were sharp and sank deep into the sand , and ho added many similar grievances. Whereupon Allah created the camel to prove the foolishness of his com plaint. The horse shuddered nt the sight of what he wanted to become , nnd this is the reason that every horse starts when meeting Its caricature for the flrst time. AVIieri' GiinnetM Sivnrm.

Bituminous coal , when broken up for use , weighs about fifty pounds. The consequent rule for the approximate measurement of coal in a bin or box is to multiply the length lu feet by the height In feet and again by the breadth in feet nnd this result by fifty-four for nnthrnclto coal or by fifty for bituminous coal.
