“I don't Bae what you want a gun for,” said Totn crossly. Tom was cleaning bis golf sticks, and It always makes him cross. Margaret lay in the hammock and watched him. “I don’t see what you want a gun for,” he repeated. “To shoot with.” she explained. ‘‘You’re* getting very sporty," he remarked, scowling at his midiron. •'You’re getting very slangy,” was her quick response. "I can’t lend you mine.” he went on after a pause, during whicli he pushed back his cap and left a streak ot dirt on his forehead. “I can’t let you have tuine because It's too heavy.” “I would not have thought of asking such a favor,” she said. "Mr. Gresham is going to send me one.” “Gresham! That long eared Englishman?” “His ears are not long, and he’s a Canadian.” “Oil, of course, if you are willing to accept”— “You gave me my golf sticks.” “That is very different.” “Yes. they are rather dissimilar. Golf club, bit, no go; gun, go, no hit.” Then Tom was angry. "Oh, it you wish to be flippant," he began. "FMppant!” said Margaret. “I wished to be funny. It was rather good—eh. Tom?” But Tom would not relent. “My wishes are evidently nothing to you,” he said, rising and standing very straight and tall beside the hammock. She did not contradict him. “What are you going to shoot?” he demanded. “Pigeons." “And they call you tender hearted!” “Clay!” This laconically. He turned toward the house. “You would look better without that smooch,” Margaret called after him. He looked around inquiringly. “That dirt streak on your forehead,” she explained. "It really is not a bit becoming.” He walked toward the porch of the jid inn without raisins; his hand to his face, but it must have been a struggle. Then she knew lie was provoked. After he was well in the house she scrambled out of the hammock. Site tian ‘_v.i the expressman put a brown leather case on the horse block and felt sure it was her gun. There were several people in the office when she went in. ami Tom’s cousin Mabel, a silly thing with yellow hair and a lisp, cried: “Oh. Margaretli, are you really going shooting? What doth Uncle Tom thay?” Uncle Tom was Tom’s father and Margaret’s guardian. She had not told him about the gun. Mrs. Talbot looked up from a piece of boniton lace she had been doing for the last three seasons and said. “How mannish some of the young girls are getting!” And Mrs. Peters clutched two of the small Peterses who happened to be near and cried: "A gun! Oh. my dear Miss Caldwell, don't point it here!” Margaret took the offending gun and went up to her room. A little later she was looking out of her window and saw Tom. with his clean clubs, starting for the links. His face was nice and clean too. He looked so handsome that she was sorry she had quarreled with him. She was just going to tell him that she would go along when she beard Mabel’s voice: “Oh. Torn, wait a minute! And then »s she got nearer: "Did you know Margareth’s gun hath come? Fbe th tbo pleathed!” Then Tom glanced trp at the window and looked so black that the girl leaned out, calling michievously, "Pretty lonimy!" He turned on his heol and walked away with Mabel. That afternoon Mr. Suydcnbatn over in tlie cottage, lent Margaret his pigeon tray anil colored boy. "You can t hurt the trap.” lie said, “and Kastus can look out for himself.” So Rastus set the trap up away over on the shore, where no one goes. It was the hour when all the women *vertj taking naps ami .the Peters ei.iloren had gone with their nurse to the village for ice eream. And Margaret started in to shoot clay pigeons. She had shot a few clam shells before, but she knew this would be harder because the shells are still, while the pigeons sail about in the air. The gun was a little beauty, light enough for her to lift easily and firm against her shoulder. Kastus got down behind his shelter. He raised his black head above the boards. “Better shoot while dey's high up. Miss Marg'ret,” he suggested and ducked again. “Ready!” she called in a loud, firm voice. The disklike object rose from twliind tile shelter and sailed away into the air. She followed Its course with her Unger on the trigger, but some way she diil not seem to find the right time to lire, and the pigeon floated unshuttered to the ground. Kasins' head popped up again. “Nothing's tin* matter,” she said. “It went rather fast, that Is all.” Kastus' grin ns he disappeared was annoying, and she called “Readyl” for the second lime, determined to shoot without fall and also to give Rastus only .*><• * cits Instead of a dollar. Up rose the second disk, and she followed Its tipward course to where it began t > descend. Just then she saw two (>eople coming along the shore--T<«.n and Mabel. Here was her ehnne* to show them what she could do. Down came tb<,‘ pigeon faster

and faster. She pulled the trigger, stepped back, her ankle turned, and down she weiu, in a most ungraceful liea p. The report of her gun, the twinge of her ankle and her fall all seemed to come at once, and she thought, "I’ve shot myself,” and then tried to laugh as she realized the gun did not shoot out of that end. Then everything turn [ ed black ami she felt no more pain. The next tiling she heard was Tom talking in a strange voice and in a most peculiar way. “My darling,” lie was spying, "my own little girl.” She thought he was speaking to Mabel. She had edSome way the pain in her ankle anil the thought of losing Tom—men never are the same good friends to you after they are married; wives seem to moke a difference—all brought a big bund) to her throat. Then she felt Toni’s face close to hers, and his voice sounded more natural. “Oh. Margaret!” he said. “Look at me. Open your eyes, sweetheart.” And she opened her eyes to find that lie had been talking to her all the time. Womanlike, she did not let him know she had heard anything, but murmured, “Where Is my gun?” Tom said, “Confound the gun!” And Mabel seemed annoyed about something too. Kastus and Margaret were the only cheerful ones. Kastus said, “Yon done lilt de pigeon. Miss Marg’ret,” in a comforting tone. Tom was still on his knees beside Margaret. The latter exclaimed, “My ankle pains me quite a bit, but if you will lielp me up, Tommy, I think I can hobble back to the inn.” So Tom raised her gently, and she smiled sweetly at Mabel over his nice broad shoulder. Then gave a little moan. “Let me carry you. Margaret.” Tom said. Mabel bit her lip. “I’m afraid I am dreadfully heavy.” Margaret murmured, “but it does hurt so.” Then, as Tom lifted her in his arms, she said, “Ob, Mabel, dear, if you don t mind —I will be ever so much obliged—will you carry my gun?” Playa In Installment!. In nearly ail the large cities of Spain the theaters sell tickets for separate acts of a play. The plays are, as a rule, of the popular variety, plentifully interspersed with songs and dances. They are, in short, a sort of variety entertainment, with a slender thread of plot running through them. They begin early and end late, and large numbers of performers are employed. Seats are very cheap, and few people would care to sit out tlie whole performance. The result is that it is possible for a small sum to buy a ticket entitling the purchaser to see one or two acts out ot five or six. The consequence is that when the curtain comes down after an act a large portion of the audience leaves the house ami seats are immediately taken by newcomers who have been waiting for the end of the act and have taken tickets for the next. Even in grand opera and classic drama this practice obtains in some of the Spanish theaters.

Anticipation. “Doesn’t it make you the least bit envious to see what elegant furniture Mrs. Eyefly is putting into her house next door?” “Not a bit. My husband says it will be sold by the sheriff within sir. months —and I’ll be there to buy.”—Chicago | Tribune. Ilin Mean! ot Support. Magistrate—What is your vocation.—l I mean what do you do for a living? | “Ah, yessir, yessir; I understands yec now, sir. \\ hat 1 does for a livin’ is, 1 my wife takes in wasltin'.”—Baltimore Jewish Comment. An Artilieinl Pearl. A ball of beeswax introduced into the shell of a living fresh water mussel has resulted in producing the most remarkable artificial pearl in existence. It is about an inch and a half in length, oval in form and pink in color and is now the property of the Smithsonian institution. The ball of wax was placed near the hinge of the bivalve, which, being kept in a tank of fresh water, was carefully watched. The irritation of the wax caused the mollusk to protect itself by coating the foreign object with a smooth coating of pearl stuff—the same material as that which is used in lining the inner surface of its shell. In the case in question the result was an enormous pearl. Owing to pressure, however, the wax ball lost its spherical shape and became oval in form. At tha end of two years the mussel was taken out of the tank and opened and the pearl removed. The wax afterward contracted, owing to dryness, which caused the pearl shell to crack. This accident, while destroying the commercial value of the pearl, made it possible to observe the thickness of the nacreous covering, which is somewhat greater than that of an ordinary sheet of letter paper. If the pearl were not flawed, it would be worth an enormous sum of money, but even as it is it is priceless as a curiosity.—Washington Star. Her Lovely Lettuce Oleh. "I want,” she said hesitatingly as she poised her basket in front of her pretty chin with a thoughtful air, "to get i some lettuce.” > “Yes'm.” saidthemarketman. “Here’s . some. Very nice it is too.” ■ “Is it all that color?” ’ "Why—er—yes'm. All lettuce is green, • you know.” t “Oh, of course! But it’s too bad! I i got a lovely blue dish to put lettuce in. • but I’m sure green would look horrible s in it. I never thought about there not > being any shades, you know." And as she turned away the market--1 man was almost sure he saw a tear ! of disappointment in her eye. • L The Anchor. i “Captain,” remarked the nuisance on i shipboard who always asks foolish . questions, “what is the object in throw- > the anchor overboard?” t “Young man.” replied the old salt, . “do you understand the theory of seis- ; mic disturbances? Well, we throw the > anchor overboard to keep the ocean I from slipping away in the fog. See?”— Baltimore News. ..
