There were no frills about Abraham. indeed. it would have been impossible for .him to pretend to be anything but a plain inerrham whose word was as good as his bond and whose note had never been protested. Abraham was well enough born and had been educated. His plainness con- sisted in not putting on any airs and in a sort of stolidity that made him re- spected. if not admired. l was going to say not beloved. but there were per- sons before Whom this stolidity. this matter-of-factness. had suddenly drop- ped like a mask and revealed a re- markable tender heartedness. When Abraham turned forty he had become very well off. and it seemed to him that he could afford to bring a wife into his house as well as into his heart. and he looked for one. Forty is about the age when a man takes leave of his youth. but not willingly. He is not likely to take a wife near his own age. but must needs reach down for some young thing with whom he might have mated twenty years before. He tixvd his eyes on a girl of eighteen, Anne Hastings. Who was much in love with a young scape- grace who had just returned from the Spanish-American war. Ben Bon- bright was as dazzling in outward ap- pearance as his name. with a rough rider uniform and rough rider modesty. So far as attractiveness to a young girl is concerned. Abraham bad no more show with him than a private in :9: getting a divorce. All the while I Anne went about wishing to tell her E husband that she had not meant all % she had said. but she didn’t think he i would believe her denial, and she was I too proud to make it. No one can ex- Ii pect another to believe two sides of a ; story coming from a single person. So ' Anne made no opposition to the di- 3vorce. trying to make herself think q that she loved Ben the same as she ' had once loved him and that happi- ness with him would be hers after alL But she had lived long enough with a ‘ worthy and a refined man to appre- f ciate the difference between him and ‘ an unworthy and a coarse one. She ‘ stayed right in the same house with her husband to the last minute He suggested that she go to her mother. : but her mother wouldn’t receive her, ‘ and her husband told her to stay right I where she was. the rear rank would have had with a. drum major. But Abraham knew nothing about his rival. and Anne‘s mother. who knew a good deal about Ben, didn’t propose that Abraham should ever hear of. him. She knew that Abraham was a man of sterling worth and would give her daughter a good home. Sofinne was led like a lamb to the slaughter, though in reality the man she married was the one to be pitled. for he was selling his love for a mess of pottag 0'e. His heart was not yet old enough to congeal or young enough not to make much of the fact that he was (or supposed he was) beloved by a girl of eighteen. He had been married three years when suddenly an old friend of his wife of whom he had never heard appeared. and the two seemed to be much interested in each other. This old friend was none other than Ben Bonbright, who had gone west the day Anne was married and had stumbled by sheer good luck into a fat mine, which enabled him to return rich. One day when Anne was hysterical through some temporary ailing and consequently had got out of patience with her husband she out with the whole story about how she had loved Bonbright and had married Abraham instead because her mother wished her to do so. She had no sooner spoken the words than she regretted them, first, because she knew they would cause her husband infinite pain. and, second, because after three years’ absence from Ben she was not quite sure that her heart gushed for him the same as it had gushed when she was a girl. With infinite melancholy Abraham told her that he would not have been a party to such a transaction had be known it, and since she loved Bonbright it not only became him to give her up to the man of her choice, but he loved her so well that he could not stand in the way of her happiness. Abraham went away and hired a smart lawyer. who made quick work It was all arranged that she should marry Ben the day the decree of di- vorce was obtained and Abraham helped her all he was able with the preparations and regretting that he was not a woman so that he could do more. for her mother would have noth- ing to do with her or her preparations. and she had only Abraham to rely on. When all was ready Abraham slip- ped a check for $10,000 in her porte- monnaie. About that time a carriage that had been ordered for her drove up to the door. and Abraham made a motion to show her to the door. But she threw both arms around his neck and burst into passionate sob- He tried to soothe her and asked her what troubled her. but neither suc- ceeded in the one nor got an answer to the other. She just Wt t on with a hysterical sobbing till he said: “Come. come. little one: your lover is waiting for you!” “Send him away!” she walled. And then the thick skulled man knew what he was very glad to know. and that’s the end to the story. She Backed Out By EUMCE BLAKE. Morris and His Furniture.

It often happens that two zones of sound are separated by a zone of silence. In 1908 an explosion of dynamite on the rail- road then building up the Jungfrau was heard in two different zones. The first extended through a radius of for- ty kilometers around the explosion. The other began at a distance of 140 kilometers, the sound being unheard in the intervening 100 kilometers. Sim- ilar phenomena had been observed elsewhere, and physicists tried to ex- plain them by the reflexion of the sound waves from certain atmospheric strata. Professor Fujiwhara, who has studied such matters during volcanic eruptions in Japan, asserts now that these phenomena depend upon the di- rection of the wind in the middle strata of the atmosphere. Ho Would Find Out. Henry Irving in his early days once played a part which in the first act called for a dark stage. In this dark- ness he fought with an old earl, threw him heavily, and when he did not rise ' after the loud thud of his fall Irving ' would cry out: . “Great heavens, what have I done?” ; One night he played the part in a small English town. A stage hand was very much impressed with the play,, and to him the scenes quickly became real, so that when Irving reached the : climax, felled the old earl to the ground . and spoke the line “Great heavens. ; what have I done?” he was startled to hear the stage hand say in a loud voice: ' “Strike a match and we’ll have a look.”-â€"New York Globe. Chamberlain and His Monocles. While the late Joseph Chamberlain was crossing Palace yard one day some years ago he was accosted by an American girl with the cool request. “Mr. Chamberlain. please do give me your eyeglass for my cabinet at home.” It was at once handed to her. guard and all, so promptly that the curio hunter apparently felt some remorse and stammered. “Most likely I’m in- conveniencing you.” “Not at all,” re- plied Mr. Chamberlain as he produced from his pocket a morocco case and took from it a spare monocle. which be screwed in position, and then went on his way, smiling.â€"London Express.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE. The Seventh Inning Stretch. It is a simple ceremonial, but im- pressive. like all manifestations of the soul of a multitude. I need only close my eyes to call up the picture vividly. It is a day of brilliant sunshine, and a great crowd of men is seated in the open air. a crowd made up of all con- ditions, ages. races. tenmeraments and states of mind. The l-rowd has sat there an hour or more. while the aft- ernoon sun has slanted deeper into the west and the Shadows have crept across greensward and hard baked clay to the eastern horizon.

The oil of the peanut has a quieting eflect on the pneumogastric nerve, the largest nerve supplying the stomach. Many nervous persons who like pea- nuts and do not know why, like them for this reason. They quiet the nerves of the stomach. These persons should eat a few fresh roasted peanuts after each hearty meal, as many nervous conditions are due to an irritation of the pneumogastric nerve, and the pea- nut oil acts as a sedative to this nerve. or course the nuts must be crisp and well chewed and not too many taken. To get the best sedative effect a hand- ful of the hot peanuts should be eaten just before retiring. This presup- poses that the powers of. elimination are in good repair. The peanut. a member of the pulse family, is nutri- tious and would clog the system it not eaten correctly, as it is almost equal to meatâ€"Philadelphia Ledger. Putting It on the Map. Captain Cook shows in his “Voy- ages” how some of the mouth filling place names on maps are evolved “Off New Zealand there is an island called by the natives ‘Matuaro.’ One of my officers. having asked a native the name of that isle, the latter re- plied, ‘Kematuaro,’ putting ‘the’ be- fore the name, as is the custom. The officer, hearing the sound imperfectly, repeated his question. whereupon the native repeated his reply. emphasizing it with the word ‘oeia,’ which means ‘indeed.’ So in the logbook Matuaro was transformed into ‘Kumettiwarro- weia.’ ”â€"London Globe.

As a student at Harvard Ralph Wal- do Emerson did not give much prom- ise or his future greatness. His dis- sertation was spoken of as “a very good one. but too long to give much pleasure to the hearers.” He was class poet. but only after seven others had been successively elected and had suc- cessively declined the honor. A story told by Arthur Stanwood Pier in “The Story of Harvard” goes to show that Emerson’s musical efforts were even less appreciated. Lost Secret of Greeks. No greater gift could be made to our modern world than the rediscovery of the Greek physical supremacy. The At present so little do we understand the principles of training which guid- ed the Greek in his games. in his bat- tles and his dances and made the pro- portions of his figures different from ours of today that Greek sculpture is in reality a puzzle to us. Certain postures fixed by the Greek sculptor seem to us contortions. bordering on physical impossibilities. There is al- ways a terrific controversy over the restoration of Greek sculpture, and even then the arms and heads and legs we SUpply never look right. All this because we do not under- stand the principles by which the Greek ordered the movements of his body.

School In the Sixteenth Century. School life at Shrewsbury in the six- teenth century was a strenuous affair. Mr. Percy Addleshaw in his “Life of Sir Philip Sidney" has an interesting account of the school at that time. “The school year." he writes, "was di- vided into halves. From Lady day to All Saints’ day the hours of attend- ance were from (3 o’clock in the morn- ing till 11. the dinner hour. In the afternoon the boys studied from 12:45 till 5 o’clock. Prayers were recited at the beginning and close of the day. If a holy day occurred in the week it was a play day, but usually the weekly day for games was Thursday. One custom then begun is still observed. " * “ At the earnest request and great entreaty of some man of honor. of great worship. credit or authority an extra holiday was granted to the boys. The judges of assize, when visiting Shrewsbury, are still accustomed to ask for and obtain this boon.”â€"West- minster Gazette.
