His companion was not noted for nn angelic temper, and the nounppenrance of the caddie, whom the keeper had promised to send them by 3 o'clock, evidently irritated him. He particularly wanted to got in a good afternoon's practice at driving, his weak point, for he had an appointment at the links the next morning with Miss Van Trees, and he wished to make the best possible appearance. To use a slang expression. Hinkley “bad designs” on the young lady. The previous winter, when be had been trying to repair a sadly depleted fortune at Monte Carlo, with the usual result, he had met Mrs. Van Trees and daughter, who were passing through Monaco. During their short stay in itbe little principality he bad been a devoted attendant, and when they left a few days later he prided himself that be had made a decided Impression. He had been very busy trying to atraighto*! out his financial difficulties soon after that and had gradually forgotten all about the young lady, till this summer he found she was staying at the same watering place, when he had Immediately presented himself. It Is not to be Imagined that be was in love with Miss Van Trees, as, in fact, he had just been telling Bateman, who attempted to rally him on his ■melancholia, attributing it to lovesickness. No, Indeed, It was no question -of sentiment. Personally he considered Marcia Van Trees rather dull and uninteresting. Perhaps the fact that Pater Van Trees owned controlling interest in the Little Annie gold mine in Arizona. which was paying semiannual dividends of 9 per cent, bad something to do with his devotion. Morally Hinkley was about as fit for a young girl to honor and obey as the snakes in the grass; but, as be was remarkably good looking, dressed in the I>erfection of taste and was something of a conversationalist, he trusted that with enough time he would easily be able to add one more victim to his long string of conquests. Just as they were about to start around the links alone a round, freckled faced boy slowly made his appearance over the brow of the hill. “Where in hades have you been since 3 o’clock?” exclaimed Hinkley, snapplug bls watch together viciously. “We’ve been waiting for you nearly an hour.” He of the freckled face smiled slowly and expansively, as if enjoying some joke from which the other two were excluded. He seemed about to make -'ome excuses, then apparently changed his mind “Sorry to have kept you gents waiting.” he observed at last, choking down his mirth and picking up the golf bags fre.m the grass. He stood at respectful attention. It was a bad day for Hinkley all around. At the third stroke be broke

bls driver short off just above the winding, and when he heard the youth behind him chuckling he lost his temper completely and. turning, cuffed the lad soundly. “You blooming cad,” muttered the stickbearer to himself as two great tears forced themselves from his blue eyes and ran down bis sunburned cheeks, "i’ll cook you for this!” Hinkley would probably have gone for the lad again had not Bateman interfered. “Let him alone,” he called. “He’ll be leaving us if you don’t stop monkeying with him.” And, indeed, he was too valuable a caddie to lose. He found every bail that they lost and was always on hand with the right clubs, but lie showed a most unbecoming interest in the conversation of Hinkley. Bateman called the attention of his friend to this fact later In the afternoon and advised him to be more careful what he said before the boy. Hinkley had just finished another emphatic denial of any tender feeling toward Miss Van Trees. “If I can only get my hands on a few blocks of the Little Annie stock, it’s all I ask ” “Even so, you needn’t mount to the treetops and shout it to all the world. I’ve seen this little shaver caddying for ‘ > -1' rr-*-'-V « • X- 1 " •-* ’A wmZZjWi ■ kHE LOST HIS TEMPER AND CUFFED THE LAD SOUNDLY. that same young lady before you arrived.” When, a couple of hours later, tired out and ready to go home, Hinkley offered the caddie some money, strange to say, that youth refused it, merely remarking as he disappeared over the brow of the hill where they had first seen him- "You’d better keep it. You’ll need it all yourself when the other scheme fails.” “What do you suppose be meant?” asked Hinkley, unable to understand either the action or answer. “Didn’t take your money because you hit him, I suppose,” answered Bateman. “And as for his remark, be probably heard the scheme you were publishing broadcast in regard to the young lady. Profit by it and plan internally after this.”

That night at the dance given at The Breakwater, Hinkley met Miss Van Trees dressed in such bewitching style that for the first time in bls life he actually admired her. Great was his surprise, however, to be treated with the most chilling frigidity. Her card was full, she said, and she even went so far as to cancel the ’engagement for golf next day. Completely mystified and In no pleasant frame of mind. Hinkley sought the broad veranda and remained there the rest of the evening with some of the men. About 10 o’clock as he happened to glance up he saw standing in the hotel doorway Miss Van Trees, while by her side and playfully tickling her neck with a fan was—no; it could not be! He rubbed his eyek and looked again. Yes, as sure as he was a living man, that youth, dressed in a natty tuxedo, with hair plastered smartly down over his forehead, was his freckled, round faced caddie of the afternoon. Hinkley turned to the nearest man, plucked him by the sleeve, and, pointing toward the two in the doorway, he stuttered, “W-w-ho—who—the—d-devil is that kid?” “Oh. that,” replied the man carelessly, looking toward the sunburned lad in the doorway—“that is Miss Van Trees’ younger brother Thomas!” Cem Peddlers of Ceylon. I was sitting one afternoon on the beautiful wide veranda of the Galle Face hotel, Colombo, in Ceylon. A light hand touched my shoulder, and a barefooted Cingalese stood before me. “Would you like to buy some stones?” he asked in his pleasant voice. These peddlers of gems are very numerous in Ceylon. They are not allowed to enter the hotels, and I once saw one of them actually beaten out of the Oriental in Colombo. Hence it was that before addressing me my Cingalese friend glanced furtively up and down the long veranda to see that he was unobserved by the minions of the hotel. He took from beneath his blouse a bundle of white cloth, which he opened, displaying about a pint of rubies, carbuncles, moonstones and catseyes. As I had nothing to do, I looked through them after explaining to the sable merchant that I had no intention of buying. The collection must have been worth many thousands of dollars, judging by individual specimens, but apart from his merchandise the barefooted vender, costume and all,’ might have been assessed at about 5 shillings.—Exchange. He Had Figured. “I was after a tract of coal land in Tennessee,” said the lawyer, “and I had every reason to believe the owner, who was poor and shiftless, didn’t know the value of it. I expected to pay sls an acre at the highest and was therefore much surprised when the old fellow said: “ ‘Stranger, I’m askin’ jest SIOO an acre fur my land, and nobody kin have it fur a cent less.’ “ ‘But how do you get any such value?’ I asked. “ ‘I git it by figgerin’.* “ ‘How do you figure?' “ ‘Easy as grease, sub. I’ve bln over every foot of it and. counted the trees.' “ ‘Yes, but the trees are worth very little.' “ ‘And I’ve counted the holes In the ground.’ “ ‘But the holes are no good.’ “ ‘Counted the trees, suh, and counted the holes, suh,' he went on, ‘and whar thar's trees thar's possums, and whar thar’s holes thar’s woodchucks, and it's SIOO an acre or you kin hunt your own meat.’ ”

Rnbinsteln’a Free Seat. A pianist who was pre-eminently successful in his day was Rubinstein, who traveled nearly the whole world over delighting people with his genius. He was very much annoyed by requests for complimentary tickets, but most of the time he maintained his composure, even though justly irritated. It is told of him that just before one of his recitals in London he was accosted by an old lady in the entrance hall and thus addressed: “Oh, Mr. Rubinstein, I am so glad to see you! I have tried in vain to purchase a ticket. Have you a seat you could let me have?” “Madam,” said the great pianist, "there Is but one seat nt my disposal, and that you are welcome to if you think tit to take it.” “Oh, yes, and a thousand thanks! Where is it?" was the excited reply. “At the piano.” smilingly replied Rubinstein. When J. M. Barrl* Lost Hla Smile. J. M. Barrie once presented the prizes at the Dumfries academy, where he was formerly a pupil. Among other things he said: “I remember one prize I got which had rather disastrous results. It was awaru >d by the girls of the school by plebiscite to the boy who bad the sweetest smile in the school. The tragic thing was that my smile disappeared that day and has never been seen since.” The Hite of the Sen Lion, The bite of the sea lion la poisonous; besides, it is nn ugly wound from the .nauner in which it is inflicted. Although the creature moves painfully and slowly on in ail. tlie motion of Its head and neck is extremely quick. The neck seems to have an almost elastic quality. One Is surprised at its reach. The sea lion is like a bulldog. When he lias caught Hold, he dot's not let go at once, but sets his teeth firmly In the flesh. Then lie twists bls head, the teeth being still embedded in the flesh, and, without relinquishing his grip, he gives a quick jerk. The result is to pull out a ragged piece of flesh if the animal has taken a deep hold.—Leslie's Weekly.

TWO SECRETS. Eben Hid 111, From Hla Wife, a.ud She Cherished Her Own. “How's business, Eben?” The old man was washing at the sink after his day's work. “Fine, Marthy; fine!” “Does the store look just the same, with the red geranium in the window? Land, how I d like to see it with the sun shining In! How does it look, Eben?” Eben did not answer for a moment. When he did. his voice shook a lilt. “The store's never been the same since you left. Marthy.” A faint little flush came into Martha's withered cheek. Is a wife ever too old to be moved by her husband’s flattery? For years Eben and Martha had kept a tiny notion store: then Martha fell sick and was taken to the hospital. That was months ago. She was out now, but she would never be strong again—never be partner in their happy little trade again. "I can't get over a hankering for a sight of the store,” thought Martha one forenoon. “If 1 take it real careful, I can get down there. ’Tlsn't so far. Ebi n ’ll scold, but he'll be tickled most to d<ath.” It took a long time for her to drag herself downtown, but at last she stood at the liead of the little street where the store was. All of a sudden she stopped. Ahead, on tlie pavement, stood Eben. A tray hung from his neck, on which were arranged a few cards of collar studs, some papers of pins and ahoelacefl. Two or three holders were in ids slinking old band, and as he stood be called his wares. Martha clutched at the wall of the building. She looked over the way at the little store. Its windows were filled with fruit, and an Italian mime fluttered on tlie awning. Then Martha understood. The store had gone to pay her expenses. She turned and. hurried away as fast as her trembling limbs■ would take her. “It will hurt Idin so to have me tlnd out,” she thought, and the tears trickled down her face. “He's kept a secret from me, and I'll keep one from Idm.” she said to her- «<•!'. "lie shan't know Hint I know." : That night when Eben came In, chilled and weary, Martha asked cheerfully the old question: "How’s business?” “Better 'n ever, Marthy,” answered Eben.—Youth's Companion.
