Nora Helms- 1 e y shrugged her shoulders. "My dear Bet ty, FFOU ought to k n o w m o r e about Mr. Markham's powers of endur- uice than I." "But what do you think he'll do? What do you sup- "Why waste our time in sup­ position? He'll be here most likely this afternoon, and you will be able to judge for yourself." Betty Oakhurst sprang to her feet. "Ted is coming here this afternoon? Why on earth didn't you tell me be­ fore?" And she fidgeted nervously with her hat before the glass as she spoke. "But you knew. Betty, where are you going?" "Anywhere out of this," cried the girl, laughing nervously as she stooped to kiss her frlen$. Nora, however, caught her arm. "Nonsense, Betty! You'd much better tell him straight out now and get it over. It will be fever so much more awkward for you if the news reaches him from outside." "I don't see that at all," returned Betty quietly, as she drew away from her companion. "I am sure that if--if you " She paused tentatively. "You don't mean to say that you ex­ pect me to tell Ted Markham that you've jilted him?" . "I certainly don't expect to put it in that way," replied Miss Oakhurst, with a little laugh; "but I am quite certain that you would explain it to the poor fellow much better than any one else." "Explain!" exclaimed Nora, impa­ tiently. "I don't know that there's any­ thing to explain, except that you've put yourself and me in a most ridicu­ lous position," "Nora!" "I wish I'd never had anything to do with it. I never felt so uncomfortable in my life as I have done since you dragged me into this precious scheme of yours." "Poor old Nora!" murmured Betty sympathetically, 'While she cast furtive glances at the clock. "You came here and shed any num­ ber of tears; declared that you adored Ted Markham; that your father wouldn't hear of an engagement, but that if you only had a little time be­ fore you, you were sure everything would come right/" "So it has," remarked Betty sotto voce. "It's only a question of point of view." * Nora flashed an indignant look at her. "I think you might be serious now, and at least pretend that you're asham­ ed of yourself. You begged me to help you to get my aunt to ask him here, to act as screen in fact, so that your people might imagine it was all over and that you had both changed your minds, and now--now " The sound of a bell broke in upon Miss Helmsley'S eloquence, and Betty caught up her gloves. "I'm awfully sorry, Nora. Abuse'me &S much as you like. Good-by." And before Nora could stop her she had darted through the door, and was on her way downstairs. She let her go. After all, it never was of any use to argue with Betty; she was one of those delightfully Irresponsible crea­ tures who always manage to shift the blame of their shortcomings on to other people's shoulders, and whom no one- no man, at any rate--ever dreams of judging by ordinary standards. Nora wondered, as she stood there idly look­ ing into the street, how she could ever have been foolish enough to take Bet­ ty's love troubles seriously. Nora sighed as she stood at the win­ dow. It was a topsy-turvy world/and the wrong, people ^ere.ftfflvays being thrown together. If ^Y^-- "Am I disturbing,JROU ?<, I was told to come in here." Nora started, and the. color rushed to her face. "Oh, I hadn't heard you come In! Do sit down. Aunt isn't well. I am so sorry you should have had the trouble of calling for nothing, but she hoped to be able to go until the last moment. Won'T you let me give you some tea?" She spoke with nervous hurry, scarcely pausing for an answer. Ted Markham took the chair she of­ fered him, and listened in silence while she rattled on. Suddenly she stopped, conscious of bis fixed glance. "Is anything the matter?" she ask­ ed, in a slightly alarmed voice. It was surely not possible that he could already have learned Betty's treach­ ery. "Yes. We can't go on like this, Mias Helmsley!" "No!" Nora felt the color go out of her face. "It isn't fair to you, and besides I-- things have changed " "You mean that Betty " "Miss Oakhurst is going to be mar­ ried." Nora gasped, but did not speak. "She is engaged to Lord Barthope. " I met Lady Oakhurst just now, and she "I think, on the contrary, that she has shown REMARKNBLY^^OOD sense. I am going to leave London; I really came this afternoon to say good-by." Nora bit her lips. - "I am sorry," she began, hesitatingly. **I am afraid I was rather to blame, but I thought Betty really cared, and--•" She left the sentence unfinished. Ted Markham's demeanor puzzled her; he was quite white, and there was a look in his eyes which troubled her. What was there in her fluffy-haired blue-eyed little friend to move a man so? That her companion had taken some great resolution, and t̂hat a singularly diffi­ cult one, it was easy enough to per­ ceive. "Are you going to BE away long?** she asked, awkwardly. "I mean, are you going far?" *"I think of going to havte a look at the antipodes. My father has some In­ terest, and I hope to get sent off to Mel­ bourne." ; "But haven't you made up your mind rather hurriedly?" she objected timid­ ly. "Hurriedly? Whjs L'vpi|T tlrtbgs In train weeks ago!" < ' . "Weeks ago!" she exclaimed. "But Betty's engagement is quite freslj. Did you suspect " X' - "I suspected nothing. I knew " "You knew!" she exclaimed indig­ nantly. "Then why didn't you speak? Why didn't you tell me?" "Tell youT' She stared at him, his tone was so vehement. "Oh, about Betty, you mean!" "Of course. What else could I mean?" "Nothing, of course " "Really, I don't understand you." He laughed drearily as he rose. "No, I must not explain. Good-by." She looked up at him with startled eyes. "You are too hard on Betty. She " "On Betty? Don't you know that I haven't thought of her for weeks--that I found out long ago that we had made a mistake?" "Then, why are you going?" Sne managed to keep her eyes upon his face, though her cheeks burned and she felt almost choked. "Don't you know that I am almost a pauper?" he said bitterly, as he turned AWAY. Nora took a step after him. "Are you going," she asked in a trembling voice, "because you want to make your fortune, or because--because I am too rich?" "Norar* , She covered her face with her hands. "Oh, if you were not in love with Betty, didn't you see--didn't you guess weeks ago " The voices of the chaperons were loud in condemnation when the en­ gagement was announced, and the mothers of younger sons and ungilt titles declared that Lady Hewitt had allowed her niece to throw herself away; while Betty Oakhurst shook her pretty head and reflected sadly that men were fickle creatures and that feminine friendship was but a broker ree#.--London World. PROFITS FOR THE TATTOOER. W(UP In Brought Extra Buiacw tar tile Artist on Skin. The war boomed at least one Bow­ ery Industry, says a New York corre­ spondent. It brought grist to the mills of the "professors" who use, the Japa­ nese needle on the human skin. One of the best known tattooera has a "stu­ dio" in Chatham square, another ex­ pert can be found under the skylight of a Bowery saloon. There is no better profession for a young man to adopt, according to the leading professor, than that of tattooing, provided, of course, that the learner has a gift tor the art. He modestly admits that it is a mighty poor year when he doesn't earn $5,000 or $6,000. For the benefit of those who know nothing of tattooing, it may be said that the prices vary from 25 cents to $40. You can get an anchor and three stars for 30 cents, but a Japanese dragon costs $40. "In Memory of Mother," "The Sailor's Return" and "Hope" come at about $3 apiece, and are very popular. "The Sinking Ship" has a certain vogue among the despon­ dent, but "Hoisting the Flag," /*vbich represents a sailor turning the glori­ ous stars and stripes loose in a gale of wind, is deservedly the most popu­ lar design. It figures on the bosoms of most American seamen. Of late, how­ ever, pictures of the Maine, the por­ traits of the naval heroes, eagles and flags have had the call. The professor Is himself a walking art gallery. He proudly exhibits "The Crucifixion," a battle scene and several other works of his beloved tutor. One of the ear­ liest photographs of Lillian Russell, taken when she was about 17 years old, has been tattoed on the arms of thousands of American citizens, and it is not a very attractive photograph at that. Experts say the tattoo mark is one of the best aids the police have in catching criminals. One Bowery art­ ist makes a specialty of "covering old work" and administers cocaine when It is desired, though he says the needle doesn't hurt. ST0R1E3 OF RELIEF. Two Letters to Mrs. Ptnkham. W Tbe Real Author of " Dixie.** Neill Bryant and Colonel John F. Kil- kenney of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad .had been friends ever since their early boyhood, and whenever they meet the reminiscences that are called up are replete with the flavor of the high-rolling days when Neill was a star member of the celebrated Bryant com­ bination, so many years America's most popular minstrels. "It makes me tired, very tired," said Mr. Bryant, "to read all this stuff in the papers about Will S. Hayes be|ng the author of 'Dixie,' when everybody except tbe most besotted ignoramus in the land knows that my old colleague, Dan Emmett, wrote it, and was tbe first man to sing It when he was per­ forming with Bryant's minstrels. Dan Emmett is alive yet, out in an Ohio town, though the old boy has LONG since retired from the stage. It is a stupid thing to try to put the author­ ship of the stirring confederate battle song on Hayes or anybody else, when there are scores of people living who can substantiate the statement I have made as to the refU author."--Washing­ ton Post. Tornado and Cyclone. The government weather bureau has sent out the following distinction, so that all may know the difference be­ tween these two forms of atmospheric disturbance. The tornado is a sudden outburst of wind in an otherwise quiet, sultry at­ mosphere; it is ushered in by a loud, in­ describable roar, similar to a continu­ ous roll of thunder; its path is very narrow--seldom more than 500 feet wide at greatest destruction; it moves generally from southwest to northeast, and rarely extends more than 20 miles; it very often rises in the air, to decend again at a point a few miles ahead; it is always accompanied by thunder­ storms, with often a bright glow in the cloud; the cloud has usually a funnel shape, which appears to be whirling, though some observers have described Jts appearance as like that of a huge ball rolling forward. A tornado may be considered as the result of an ex­ treme development of conditions which otherwise produce thunderstorms. A cyclone, on the other haftd, Is a very broad storm, oftentimes 1,000 miles in diameter, and sometimes can be followed half around tJie world; the winds circulate about it from right to left, or the way one turns clock hands backward (in the Southern Hemisphere this motion Is reversed). The air pres­ sure always falls as one approaches the center, where at sea, there is often a calm, with clear sky visible at times. The cyclone winds often rise to hurri­ cane force, but are not to be compared with the extreme violence of the toiv nado, before which THE" ni08t~" solid structures are razed. Mot Even an Empty Ulait. At a banquet given to King Oscar during his official visit to Carlsbad there were present a number of officers from a neighboring garrison. At the close of the banquet the notabilities of the place were presented to ,the KIN^ individually, and his majesty convers­ ed with each in his well-known pleas­ ant manner. Among others, a distin­ guished officer of the Smaaland infan­ try was presented who was known as a pronounced fanatic and ascetic. Dur-. ing the conversation King Oscar took up his glass in order to drink healths with the officer, "to ring their glasses together," as is the use in Sweden and Germany. To the king's great aston­ ishment the captain said that his re­ ligious convictions prevented him from responding to the king's toast. The king then said: "If you will have no drinking, then take an empty glass; even so I can ring glasses with you." The officer hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "No, your majesty, my principles forbid me."--New York Trib­ une. , Caugbt in a Box. "Why is it," he asked "that beauti­ ful women are always the most stu­ pid?" "Sir," STIR replied,' "am I ^O under­ stand that you desire to cast reflec­ tions upon my mental capacity?"

The Apaches of southern Arizona make whisky from the sap of a small species of cactus. They cut out the hearts of the plants, resembling little cabbages, and in the cup-shaped recep­ tacles left behind the sap accumulates. From this sap they distil the famous escal, which drives those who drink it sheer madness.

Nature has been getting information from bee-keepers as to immunity from stings. Circular! were sent to one hun­ dred and forty-five bee-keepers In Ger­ many. From the replies, it appears that all but twenty-six bad acquired Immunity, nine or so having it natural­ ly. The number of stings required to bring the result varies from about thir­ ty to one hundred, and the remedies ap­ plied range from tobacco juice, salvia and water to French brandy, rum, am­ monia, acetate of alumnia, heat and massage. Doctor Langer, who Is con­ ducting the investigations, states that a two to five per cent, solution of per­ manganate of potash injected will counteract the poison. It used to be supposed that the poison of bee stings was due to formic acid; but as it has been found that beat does not destroy the poisonous activity, this can hardly be the case, and it is more likely that the toxic substance partakes of the na­ ture of an alkaloid. Collection of Garters. There is one collection of garters in Normandy and another in the North of England. In one there are some 200 examples, classified into two sections-- the curious and the historical. One o< the most interesting of the latter class is a faded garter of green silk, sewn with a design of hearts and diamonds in gold threads, whicfa is reputed to have belonged to tbe famous Miss Stewart, one of Charles II.'s favorites. Another interesting item of the collec­ tion is genuine garter once belonging to Queen Elizabeth, made of wide white satin, embroidered with silver thread and having paste buckles in the shape of stars. She Will Be Rich. There is considerable comment con­ cerning Christina Llnke, a servant in the house of a Vienna merchant, who has come into possession of a large for­ tune, inherited from her father, a usurer who was several times arrested and put into prison. The girl was brought up in the greatest penury and was entirely ignorant of tbe great wealth hidden in her father's house and found after his death. The World's Newspaper Output. The total number of copies of news­ papers , printed throughout the world in one year is 12,000,000. To print these requires 781,240 tons of paper, or 1,502,- 480,000 pounds, while it would take the fastest press in London 333 years t<# print a single year's edition, which would produce a stack of papers nearly fifty miles high.

In the gallery of the convent of the Jesuits, at Lisbon, says Success, there is a picture representing Adam in Para­ dise, dressed ia blue breeches with sil­ ver buckles, and Eve with a striped petticoat. In the distance appears a procession of Capnchin monks bearing the Cross. In a country In Holland there is a painting representing the sacrifice of Isaac, in WHICH tbe psJuter hss dsplct- ed Abraham with a blunderbuss in his band ready to shoot his son. In Spain they have a picture of the same inci­ dent, in which the patriarch is armed with a pistol. At Windsor there Is a painting by Antonio Verrio, in which the artist has introduced the portraits of himself and two titled gentlemen of his time--all in long periwigs--as spectators of Christ healing the sick.. A painter of T'oledo, in representing the Three Wise Men of the East com­ ing to the Nativity, depicted three Ara­ bian or Indian Kings, two of them white and one black, and all in a kneel­ ing posture. The position of the legs of each figure not being very distinct, he inadvertently painted three black feet for the negro king, and put three white ones to serve for the two white kings. In another picture of the Nativity is introduced a multitude of little figures finished with true Dutch exactitude. One Is accoutred In boots and spars, and another is holding up as a present a little model Of a Dutch ship. In the same collection is a picture of tbe mar­ tyrdom of Saint Stephen, by Le Seur, showing the martyr attired in the robes of a Roman priest at high mass.--Sat urday Evening Post.
