MAE'S HOUSE BOAT.

BY BELLE MANIATES

James Thornley sat on the porch of his sister's rustic summer cottage in the wilds of the woods. The family were scattered over the broad, shining river that flowed calmly below the wooded heights. Tom was fishing, Alicia had gone in a steam launch to call on friends at the hotel a few miles below, the older boys were in swimming and the younger ones were rowing.

James had not succumbed to any of the enticing allurements held out to him by the family. He had come there to loaf, he said. He was taking advantage of his unaccustomed solitude to indulge in meditation. The result of his findings after an exhaustive recount of his life was that he had been a victim of procrastination, especially in the case of the only woman he had ever loved. Mae Allyn had had her troops of followers and for a time he had fancied from her manner that he was the favored one, but he had put off telling her of his love, fearing to put it to the test and lose all.

One fateful day he started for her home, filled with a little glow of excitement at carrying out his resolve to end his suspense. On the way he was overtaken by a friend, who called out: "I suppose you have heard the latest?"

Upon asking what the "latest" was, the friend had replied that Mae Allyn's engagement to Norwell Bancks, the millionaire, was announced. James had managed with tolerable success to conceal his feelings, and secured an evening paper -vherein he read the confirmation of the news.

Norwell Bancks, the rival from whom he supposed he had tthe least fear. A. middle-aged, uninterest•ng stick of a man, with only his ioiiey to recommend him.

The firm with which Thornley was SFOciated were sending across the water a man who had every reason to desire remaining at home. James easily made an exchange, and remained abroad a year. Ke had returned a sadder but wiser man, and had joined his sister Alicia and hexhusband and children, who were spending the summer in the woods.

In all this long year he had not heard one word of Mae. His letters from home had not mentioned her. "Dreaming, James?" He looked up and saw his sister. "You didn't make a very long visit." "The Grays have gone away for the day. I saw some one else—some one you used to know, too," she said. "Whom?" he asked carelessly. "Mae—" "Is she staying at the hotel?"- he asked, trying to speak indffereently. "No," replied Alicia. "She has a house boat. They stop at the hotel until after dinner only, and are coming on this way to-night. They wanted to stop a few days in some wild, unfrequented-by-resorters spot, and I told them of this locality.^slf! "Is Bancks with her?" he* asked bluntly. "Bancks, Norwell Bancks! Why, James, hadn't you heard?" "Heard what?" "Of his terrible death in a' railway accident." "No." he said In shocked tones. "When did It happen?"^: "Three months ago. He—"

But a plaintive cry from an approaching urchin diverted Alicia's attention from her brother's love affair, and she was absorbed in mothering her child.

James strode away Into the woods, scarcely knowing where he was going. So Mae was a widow. Young, beautiful and rich. She was seeking recreation early. Only three months a widow. Well, why should she feign a mourning she could not feel.s It must "seem luxurious to Mae to. be traveling in a houseboat.

He wondered if prosperity would spoil her. It had been her charm that, although her family was in moderate circumstances, she had never seemed to yearn for the luxuries denied her yet there must have been, deep in her heart,a longing for riches, else why had she married that man?

James tramped on for miles, trying to decide whether he wanted to see her or not. He had not solved the problem when he came upon her leaning against an oak tree. She was clad in a blue linen gown. Her cheeks were faintly, pink, but lost their color when she saw who was approaching her. "James ," she said in surprise.

Momentarily his heartaches were forgotten. "Mae," he said in a voice that thrilled her with intensity, as he extended his hand. "I saw your sister this morning, but she did not say you were here," she murmured. "She told me of meeting you!" "I should not have expected to see you, even if she had told me," continued Mae "Why not?" he asked shortly.' "After your going abroad for ao long a stay—and so abruptly—with' out bidding me godby," she replied, trying to speak without agitation. "Mae, you know why I went," he said sternly.

J-

She began to speak and changed her mind. "Where are we, anyway?" "he asked, after a short silence. "Near your hotel?"

'Yes I Was tq&iqg.a little' W9jk.

She did not care, he thought. Why did she not wear a black gown. There was another awkward pause, and she began questioning him

The Weatherbys were her cousins, and not wealthy people. He was glad that she was still kind and generous

The current bore James quickly down stream. When he reached the Bluffs, however, he saw no houseboat. "Here! Don't quite pass us by," cried a voice gaily.

Turning, he saw Mae"1 on the platform of what he had taken to be an old shed. "Come 'on board," she said, "My cousins have all gone to a camp meeting up in the woods, but they'll be back soon." "I hope not," he replied earnestly.

She brought some chairs "on deck."

Where is your house boat? "Where is your house boat?" he asked as he stood with his hand on her chair. "Why," this is It," she said laughingly. We don't call it anything so pretentious. It's only a shanty boat, but it's\best we could afford, and we've had as good a time as though it were a floating palace." "The best you can afford!" he echoed. "Why, yes, James. You didn't suppose we had struck oil or copper, did you?" "But—Bancks—wasn't he really wealthy?" "Bancks! What difference would his wealth make to us!" "Mae, didn't you marry him, after all?" "Marry him!" she laughed hysterically, "why, Jasies did you think me a widow?" "But you were engaged to him?" I "Not I." "You knew I loved you—you must have known it. I was on my way to tell you when I read the announcement in the paper. That was the. only reason I went away." "O, James!" There was a world of regret in her voice. "That awful notice! I never encouraged Mr. Bancks, but he went to papa and proposed without saying a word to me, and papa said didn't object if I didn't, and on the strength of that Mr. Bancks announced It. It was contradicted the next night." "When* I was on the ocean," he said bitterly. "How did the old—" "Don't call him names now, James!"

old days.

"No," he answered. "Not now. But"—the words came against his will as he looked into her beautiful eyes—"may I see you this jeveniag. Will you be here?" "No we move on. We will be at the bluff, three miles below your sister's cottage. I shall be very glad to see you."

He walked home, his mind in a tumult. One thing stood oat clearly and surely-—he loved her. Could she have cared, after all, for that old man? His horrible death had evidently been a shock to her, for she was surely paler and thinner, and there was a shadow of sadness in her eyes.

Could he drive it away and win her love again? How long must he wait! Could he marry a woman with money—a woman who had practically jilted him? He wrestled with these questions all day. "Where are you going, James?" asked his sister, as he was selecting a rowboat at twilight. "To see Mae," he replied tersely. "I saw her this morning." "O, did you? I wish you would persuade her to let the Weatherbys houseboat by themselves and make me a little visit," she said lightly. "Honest, Alicia?" "Honest, of course," she laughed.

tho=-e of Chalmette to the left The plan of this house was originated by Capt. Doullut. Twice he tore up plans and was not satisfied until

ha(I ma(

je them,different from any

thing he had ever seen, and he has traveled considerably.

The house was

built by Capt. Doullet and his crew of boat builders, and one year was occupied in its construction. It cost about $8,000.

This house isv 54 feet square, surrounded by an iron fence, with cement pavements. The rooms resemble the interior of a ship there are port holes, companionways for stairs, and the lower floor, in which is located the storeroom, bears a striking resemblance to the hull of an ocean going vessel. The lower story is of brick, the upper of frame. The roof of slate is modeled after the Japanese style. The eaves and cornice are built directly from Japanese patterns

The house is ceiled with pressed steel and finished as elaborately as the saloon of a ship. The cupola is constructed exactly like a pilot house, and has windows all around. If breeze is blowing the captain is sure to catch it. there. The gallery la continuous and at any time the ownei can swing his hammock so as to be in the shade. Eicctric lights are useA for illuminating, and everything situated so that. it. is unnecessary to leave the house for a'jvih,nsr. even the cistern feeing located on the gal lery.

Courage in Man aid Women. Women d'spiay coui'ige in tiioh own incomparable fashion. TypicaJ of woman's method of encounterin danger is the story of the Avoman who observed as she was concluding, her toilet fr)r the night in the presence of a burglar under her bed. Without letting the man know that she had perceived him, this woman quietly put on her -dressing gdwn and knelt down at the bedside to say her prayers. She prayed aloud. She made her own personal intercessions to heaven and then prayed for all poor sinners living in the darkness of estrangement from God, "particularly this unhappy man lying under my bed, meditating the. wickedness oif stealing and perhaps murder." This woman saved the situation.

I cannot imagine a worse situation than that of a certain steeplejack who found himself one day at the top of a church steeple with a madman grinning into his eyes. The madman was his mate. Both men had been at work on this steeple for many days and had talked together while they hung in the saddles with th« utmost fcccord, but on this particular day one of the men looked up to see madness in the eyes of his companion. In that moment he was alone with danger. No shout could avail. From the street below he looked like a spider snoozing in its web. The roofs and chimneys of the houses seemed to be level with the ground. High up in the loneliness of the empty air he was alone with a madman.

The man kept his wits about him, and addressed some cheerful remarks to his mate. The madman only grinned. The man bade him look alive, that they might the sooner get below and enjoy themselves. The madman chuckled, and announced that they would get below in double quick time, for that he was going to jump from the steeple with his friend in his arms.

The other laughed as If at a good jest, and turned to his work. Then he began pushing with his feet against the steeple to get a swing, into his saddle he meant to grab the madman and hold him until" help came. But the madman was also swinging his saddle, and before the sane man realized his danger the madman's fingers were closing round his throat.

They were swung in the dizzy air, high over the unconscious city. By something of a miracle the man founi his hands clutching at his tool box fcs he swept back. He grabbed it, made an upward thrust with his strangled body, and caught the madman a jangling blow across the side of his head. Then he clutched the fellow's body to save it from falling,, and, after a moment's breathing, quietly lowered himself and his unconscious mate to the ground below.

Young Grandfathers.

"Hoch der Kaid3r"—he is now a grandfather. It is rapidly becoming the style for great men to be grandfathers before they are 50. Mr. Bryan is a grandfather, and he is only 46. Mr. Roosevelt is 48, and has his chances of arriving in the grandfather list before his fiftieth birthday. Yet many people still look ufron all three as young men who have but lately blossomed out in the world's affairs.
