A purse of §100 has been posted to go to the winning team. They expect to bring some 300 or 400 people from Indianapolis with them as the rivalry between these teams is very strong.

.aunches go whisking ^importantly and gay loiter along in punts. *vhnd recommended the inn .ghain long ago, and in his state of mind it seemed to him jry pluce to hide from the world /his heartache was over—the very ice in which to think it all over and djust himself to the new conditions in which Katherine had no part.

Therefore, as soon as his baggage was released by the custom house, he sought the little inn on the Thames, engaged rooms for two months, and prepared to blot the memory of a certain young woman in New York from his mind, if such a thing were possible.

The inn was well patronized, but most of its guests were staid people past middle life, who sat all day beneath the awnings on the lawn, watching the gay life on the river in which they had no part. It was all very satisfactory to Bellingham. This exaggerated quiet was the very thing he was looking for. He was quite content, he thought, to spend his days beneath the striped awnings or reading down by the river. Very few of the other guests tried to penetrate his reserve, and these few met with so little encouragement that even they desisted, and Bellingham was left to his own devices.

Now, Bellingham was a young man of normal mind despite the fact that he believed himself to be the victim of melancholia. A week of this sort of monotony bred in him a restless desire for action. He decided to take up punting, and, with all the American belief that punting Is something ridiculously easy to master, he hired a trim looking punt and set forth.

He had not gone far on his erratic course when his respect for punting and punters was vastly increased. Somehow it wasn't as easy to get the hang of the thing as he had imagined. The pole had a most irritating habit of sticking in the bottom moreover, the depth of the river seemed most variable.

He had gone perhaps a mile when the pole once more stuck in the mud, and this time the tug he gave failed to

loosen it. The punt careened dangerously. It was a case of letting go the pole or getting a spill. Bellingham chose the lesser evil. The pole was left sticking upright in the water as the punt drifted away from it.

Bellingham looked about him helplessly. As he did so he heard a laughing hail from the bank and, turning, saw a young woman just stepping Into a punt beneath the willows. She poled out to him skillfully and brought her punt alongside his helpless craft "Just catch the gunwale of my punt and I'll hr ve you ashore in a moment," she said. "Thanks," said Bellingham, doing as he was bidden. "It's very good of you." "I wouldn't have come out If I hadn't recognized a fellow countryman in distress," she laughed. "It really isn't as easy as it looks, is it?" "I've discovered it isn't," said he ruefully. "Very kind of you to give me this assistance. It was a decidedly awkward fix I was in."

They had reached the willows on the bank, and Bellingham helped her ashore. It was a cozy spot. Books and cushions lay against the trees and a spirit kettle blazed away cheerfully on a flat stone. "You might tie your punt here, and then I'll take you out to your pole," she suggested.

Bellingham's eyes were resting with no uncertain meaning on the spirit kettle. "Perhaps you'd like a cup of tea first," she said. "I suppose, since we're fellow Americans, formalities may be overlooked, Mr."— "Bellingham," he supplemented. "I'm Miss Holt," she said, "and I Imagine we're both from New York."

Bellingham bowed. "Quite correct,"

And, thanks, I will delay for the tea." ie themselves comfortable .k, and while they drank tea ied thin biscuits they chatted Bellingham was surprised to /that he was enjoying himself immensely. He had not realized before now bis isolation at the inn had palled on him. Miss Holt was a remarkably charming girl, he decided, and besides this she was possessed of a ready wit that inspired Bellingham to his best epigram, and epigram was Bellingham's long suit.

Some two hours passed pleasantly before they went out for the pole which still stuck up from the river. When Bellingham had loaded the books and cushions into the girl's punt and embarked in his own he stood for a time surveying her thoughtfully. "I want to thank you for a delightful afternoon." he said at length. "I'm staying down at The Keys. I came there to cure a broken heart. To tell the truth, I haven't succeeded tremendously."

She smiled comprehendingly. "Since confessions seem to be in order," she said, "I may as well tell you I'm staying with my aunt at The Bunch of Grapes farther up the river. I'm supposed to be there to heal the wound of a broken engagement. I haven't succeeded amazingly either," she ended naively. "I say," Bellingham proposed, "let's form a mutual consolation society and have tea again here tomorrow afternoon." "All right. Agreed!" she laughed as she started up the stream.

During the following weeks Bellingham left the striped awnings on the lawn to the other guests. He spent most of his time at a certain patch of willows on the banks of the river, where there were cushions and books and tea—and a pretty girl. He learned to pole a punt with something approaching the English skill, and they poked about the stream discovering other quiet nooks. The pain in his heart was considerably lessened, and certain disturbing memories ceased to disturb him longer.

The two months slipped past and the time of his return drew near. The afternoon before his departure they were on the river together, Bellingham poling and the girl pensively silent. The punt drew up to the willows on the bank where he had first seen her. "I hate the idea of breaking up this society for mutual consolation," said he. "It's been wonderfully successful, as far as I am concerned. I wish it might continue." "For about hoAv long?" she asked archly. "Forever," said he flatly.

She rose and abstractedly broke off a piece of the low hanging willow branch. He noticed that her hands trembled. "Well," she said slowly, her eyes on the vista of green meadows, "what's to prevent it?"

His Twelfth Birthday.

The late Lord Russell of Killowen, the well known judge, was, during the early days of his career, a victim of an amusing piece of repartee on the part of a witness. "What is your age?" asked the groat coumel. "Is it m.v age you are asking?" replied the witness. "Yes, sir. Now speak up and be exact!" "And be exact? Well, of all the"— "The court does not desire to hear any comments of yours. Tell the court your age." "Well," said the man, "I celebrated my twelfth birthday last week." "Do you mean to tell the court that you are not more than twelve years of age? Why, you look more than three times that age!" "Four times would be exact." "And yet you venture to tell me— and remember you are on oath—that you celebrated your twelfth birthday last week?" "And it's quite true, but then, you see, I was born on Feb. 29, in leap year, and my birthday only comes once In four years."

Sydney Smith.

Sydney Smith, the world renowned wit, was something more than a perpetrator of clever sayings or even than a politician and agitator for reforms. He was celebrated in each country parish, where by far the greater part of his life was spent, as doctor and magistrate, combining these offices with those of a faithful and hard working clergyman. The home side of Sydney Smith is too little appreciated. While he still lived in Edinburgh, before ho had taken his second charge as minister, he studied, medicine so that he mlpht be onabled to work upon body as well as soul in future livings. He was very proud of this knowledge of the art of healing and not a little inclined to boast to his son-in-law. Dr. Ilenry Howland. of his cures. The following remedy for a common juvenile complaint was written to friends in London: "We conquered here the whooping cough with a pennyworth of salt of tartar. What an odd thing that such a specific should not be more known!"

"To cool It. sir-r," said Pat. whereupon the superintendent dodged around the corner to get his face together.— Boston Herald....
