I (In days when the cabinet met, I Tuesdays and Fridays, wie hour of noon closed the interviews of the I morning. On other days it was the

President's custom ut about that hour to order the doors to be opened and all who were waiting to bo admitted,

At luncheon time ho had literally to run the gauntlet through tlio crowd who filled ihe corridors between bis ollice und the rooms at the west end of the house occupied by the family. The afternoon wore away in I much the same way us the morning lute in tho day ho usually drove out for un hour's airing u.t ti o'clock lie dined.

He was one of the most abstemious ol men tho pleasures of the table had few attractions for him. His breakfast was an egg and a cup ol coffee at lunch ho rarely took more than a biscuit and a glass of milk, a plato of fruit iu season: at dinner he ale sparingly of ono or two courses. lie drunk littlo or no wine not that old.

this is their only safety. Kor did they mako the least movement they would be immediately caught. 1 have known a hungry snake to lie waiting an hour for a frog to move, and even puBh him with tho nose to stir him up. This has boen called "snako charming." and indeed it looks like it, but the toad is the charmer and tho snako the charmed. remember one day 1 dropped a loud in llio midst of a pit of snakes 1 had in my back yard, lie at once became perleelly still, though surrounded by more than a dozen hungry snakes. Thore was a circlo of licreo heads and glaring eyes around him, but lie would not move. Tho circle narrowed until ihe protruding tongues almost touched him, yet ho was immovable. Just then I was called away for over half an hour, but on returning found tho toad, in grave dignity, still holding the fort by most masterly inactivity.

MRS. EMERSON'S RING.

Thore wus no use saying that the servant was above suspicion, and that no one could possibly have gotten into tho house tho fact remained, tho ring w.is gone, and it must have boon stolen.

That diamond solitaire was tho ono valunbio 1 possessed. It was a very beautiful stone, in a rich antique setting: but aside from its value iu that respect, I treasured it us having boen handed down from mother to daughter through many generations of my family, l-'or the most part it was kept under lock and key in my private drawer, and only some special occasion brought it from its hiding place.

Such occasion was the marriage of my favorite brother to a beautiful young heiress. My diamond ring added the finishing touch to a costume which caused Mr. Kmerson to llattor mo with "Why. you look as well as when 1 married yo..!"

Itcturning tired and late from tho festivities 1 left my ring on my dress-ing-room bio. it was in my thoughts when I awoke from my sound und refreshing •dumber. Hut alas! some ono had been before me and my treasure was gone.

My startled exclamation speedily i. roughl to my side my husband and son. ••What shall we do, (Joorge?" I cried to my worthy spouse. "It must be found at once.'1 "Cali Ihe policeman, have ev'rybody 'rested,'" counselled Uertie, the fj-year-

She had one littlo eccentricity that afforded us much amusement and at times some annoyance. If an apron, a bit of lace or ribbon were 1^/t lying on cnuir or table, Mary was very likely to pick it up ana adorn hor person therewith. She never Sought

When she got into tho habit of ••borrowing" Hortio's little chain and my breastpins 1 thought it best to interfere, and had a talk with her, after which she promised to keep her desire for ornament within reasonable bounds. have said that she had given good satisfaction. A few days beforo tho morning of the theft she had given ••warning?'' to my groat surprise, for it was seeminirly without any provocation. I remembered this as liertie, at a word from George, started off to call the girl.

Ho was not gone long. "1 can't find her, papa. She's gone away," ho said. (ieorge and 1 looked at each other,

diet that so many of our sallow-faced, The same thought camo to us both, bloodless, lleshloss, shapeless women although neither would voice it. and childron can be traced.

••Nonsense," ho said, sharply, to Hertio "go and look again, out in the yard, or the shed. Jluy be she is in her room."

We were standing near tho window as ho tallied. My iiusband, glancing out, suddenly iravo a start and then began laughing softly. 1 looked over his shoulder, and who should sec marching boldly up the pathway but Mary, and iu hor wake bashful, sheepish-looking-fel-low-countryman.

A moment moro and tho couple had entered tho room. Mary appeared a trillo disturbed at our stern looks and tho presence of tho ollicer. but sho walkod straight to llio, and held out a broad bund, in tho center of which shono a glittering trille. She spoke rapidly. "1 brought it safe buck, ma'am, and it isn't hurt a bit. I only meant to borrow it. I am no thief.
