Peggy looked back at her. “Mother,” she protested, “you are tired out,” and. she took the heavy bag that her mother had carried, and, thus weighted with two, she plodded on until she came to an intersection of the path. “I’m not sure which way to turn to go to our cottage,” she said. “Doesn't

“THI3 is tiik way watfu ot out to he H.YNDLlill.” It sound too good to be true to say ‘our cottage,’ mother?" “Yes, it does, and the rent Is so cheap,” Mrs. Linton said. “We couldn’t have come If it hadn't been cheap," Peggy remarked philosophically. "No, wo couldn't,” her mother agreed, and again they plodded on. Presently a man appeared among the trees. He wore blue overalls, and he was wheeling a burrow. “Oh, ean you tell U3 where Miss Brownlee's cottages are?” Peggy called eagerly. “The tin cottages?” the man Inquired. “The what?” Peggy gasped. The man grinned. “The tin cottages. Those are the ones Miss Brownlee rents. You g> on till you come to a path toward the lake, and you’ll find them." "Mother," Peggy demanded when he had gnn > on, “what do you suppose he meant ?" "I'm sure I don’t know, and I don’t care,” said Mrs. Linton pensively. “Poor Utile mother,” Peggy worried, “you’re tired out.” Again they went on, and at last they saw before them a row of diminutive houses like Inverted bathtubs. They were painted gray, and they were very compact and neat, but to Peggy, who ha l dreamed of n picturesque rus tie bungalow, they were nightmares. “Oh,” she said In dismay, “they are hideous, mother!” And after one glance Mrs. Linton sat down on the moss and laid her umbrella beside her. “It’s the last straw,” she said dejectedly. “Oh, dear!” sighed Peggy. And her mother echoed the plaint. But presently they saw u woman beckoning to them from the porch of a large rustic cottage ut the end of a row of tin caricatures. "That must bo Miss Brownlee,” Peg gy said. "I am going to tell her that I think she should have told us that the cottages were made of tin.” But as they came up to the porch the beaming face of the rather massi o ’ y disarmed criticism. "i thought you would bo here about this time," she said. "I want you to have lunch with me.” “Oh," Peggy demurred, “we don’t like to trouble you.” "I’m dead lonesome,” Miss Brownlee hastened to explain, “and I like company. That’s why I built the cottages." “Aren’t they a little odd?" Peggy naked. ”1 think they are heautiful,” Miss Brownlee declared radiantly. "After the big fair they were for sale—they had been models, you know—and 1 bough! them cheap, and they are nice and comfortable inside. I have rented the one next t > you to a young man, an artist, lie <*v>nu s tomorrow.’ “Has he seen them?” Peggy quavered, not daring to look at her mother. "No, but I told him how nice they were.” "Oh," Peggy murmured, and went on eating hot biscuits. A half hour Inter she raid n> Miss Brownlee, ”1 have never tasted such a perfectly delicious lunch.” Miss Brownlee laughed. “Well, 1 am a right good cook.” she said. ”1 always wanted to have an opportunity to learn things, but after mother died l was too old to take up painting or music, so I just went on cooking. After all, I don’t know but it’s just as worth

while 1o l.« u good cook as a bad artist." “Indeed it Is!" said Peggy heartily. "1 paint some myself. But 1 wish 1 could make cake like this.” “Oh, do you paint?” cried Mis: Brownlee. “Some time 1 am going 10 get you to make a picture of tin* cot tage.” In the morning Peggy set her easel up on the bluff, but the magic of the lake eluded her, and when she came in she had nothing to show but a sketch of Sally. She gave it to Miss Brownlee. "'Veil, well,” said that delighted lady, “it’s just like Sally. I’m going to have It framed. By the way,” she added, “it’s time for that young man to come. And there he is now.” And she hurried to the door. He was a handsome young fellow, with a gray cap on the back of his head. “I wanted to ask about my cottage Where is It?" “d here," said Miss Brownlee, pointing to the one next to Peggy's. “That? tih. by George!” the young tuna * hiculatcd, and Peggy laughed to herself. “It's the eiio 1 told you about In my letter." Miss Brownlee went on. “Yes,” he murmured feebly, “yon told me." "lids young lady and her mother have the one next to It." And Miss Brownlee stepped hack and showed Peggy behind her—Peggy, whose blue eyes danced wiekedly. The young man looked at her, taking in with approcintion the graee of the slender girlish figure. "I think I shall like—the cottage,” he said slowly, and when they had talked for a few minutes Peggy went buck to her mother. “He Is very nice,’’ she remarked “and his mu -e is Meredlih.” And w ith that she look her portfolio and startei for the bluff. “I... ii: here," said some <n > over her shouh'.er two li.utrs later, "you to trj that aort of thing" It was Mr. Meredith. “Why not?' asked Peg;; . "1 saw your ketch of Sally,” he told her. "You do It better than water things. Your lake and sky aren’t right.” Peggy flushed. “Oh,” she said, "1 don’t want to paint pussy eats! 1 want to paint the silver water and the silver trees and a silver spirit of the woods." “Silver tommyrot!” said the young man. “You ought to do things like the studies your mother showed me just now.” “Pot boilers!" Peggy murmured. “Tills is the way water ought to be handled," and lie opened bis portfolio and handed her a sketch. “Oh!” Peggy said as she looked at it, and when she had handed it back to him there was real humility in het tone. “I have never seen anything so won derful.” “It is no more wonderful than yours," lie told her, “hut I have stud led longer abroad and all that.” "Oil, have you?” said the eager Peg gy, and they sat there and talked until the shadows fell. That night Meredith said to Miss Brow:.lie, 1 think it is beautiful hero," and Peggy, watching the moon light through the. small square window of her room, smiled in the darkness as Hie thought how deliciously Mr, Meredith said "By George!” when he looked at her best work. The next morning she took his advice and ;ketched the six curly tailed pigs, Sally over a saucer of milk and Miss Brownlee among her pots and pans. "That's th ■ best till g you have done yet." Mr vdith 1o!d her as he examined the i-keteh of Miss Brownlee. “The light of the fire and the sunlight through the window give a chance for values.” “I w i ll I knew as much as you do about such things," Peggy sighed. “We will work together fur awhile,” he said, “and 1 will teach you all I know.” Bill Is* t : lit her other things than art ns ill -Ir easels stood side by side on lln* bluff, and tin* wliljo gulls dipped t i the s: p ; (lire lake, and the w ind ruf fled the > :ir!s on Peggy's forehead And cm* t emlng ns Peggy finished a sketch of liver birches with a lilt of lake I eyond In; looked over her shoulder. “You are getting on wonderfully,” In* said, “hut you ought to have a year abroad." “But I can’t," Peggy told him. “You can If you w ill marry me,” was his unexpected proposition. And “Oh!" said rosy Peggy. “And to think." said the radiant Miss Brownlee when they told her, “that 1 should have a romance right here In my tin cottages.” "Dear cottages!" murmured Peggy. And ns the lovers went down the path the moonlight touched the little gray h uses w ith magic light and made of each of I hem a castle of dreams.

THE SECOND EMPIRE.

Two Picturesque Episodes In a Period of Unrest. Walking about the streets, riding on buses, junketing up and down th, river in steamboats, I w as profoundly struck by the unrest among the jieoplo. their Intense hatred of emperor and empress. One day 1 caught a glimps* of Rochefort, carried aloft on tlx shoulders of a mob of studentthronging the Boulevard Saint Michel I never saw a nnm looking so help lessly frightened ns did the founder of the Lanterne, then in Its prime. Whether he feared the police or a fall I do not know, but bis terror was abject In the summer time the emperor paid a visit to Beauvais. On the chance of getting material for an article acceptable In London I Journeyed thither with North Peal, who went down as representative of the Morning Star. The prince Imperial accompanied the emperor, who drove through living lanes of people stretching from the roadway to the open windows of the topmost chamber. They came to see. but they would not remain to cheer. The occasion was the presentation of prizes gained at the local Lyooe. The head prize was never delivered, the winner, a lad of fourteen, declining to accept It from the hand of the hated emperor. H. W Lucy in Cornblll Magazine. ADJUSTED HIS CANE.

Then the Man From Berlin Explained Why He Did It. A man stood before a shop window with his cane sticking out from under Ills arm. A stout. I hind gentleman In passing struck tin* cam- smartly with his ow n, restoring I! from Its obstrue live horizontal position to the proper vortical ore. "Say. what’s the matter with you? You’re the freshest guy 1 ever saw. Are you looking for trouble?" Thus raid the man wince cane had hren trnp-d. Bt.t he* who had tapped it, sperkkn.’ with a German aeeent. nnswore 1 gently: “V. by. sir. 1 did n ithlng but restore you - <ano to its right Inclination. Absently you were bolding It under your arm. It was jabbing people in the breast, the luck, even the eye. and yet you meant no Imrni. “V !l, I stopped that nuisance which you wore unconsciously committing. In Berlin It is the custom always to stop It so. And no one takes offense. On the contrary, in Berlin the correction Is receive! with a smile and n word of thanks. Isn't it so hero?" ’No, it isn’t." said the other,'"but it should be I thank you. sir, myself, and I apologize." New York Press.

John Wesley's Prescription. "Here Is a rare little hook,” said a Methodist local preacher. "It is John Wesley's ‘Primitive Physlck.’ Wesley dabbled in medlelm*. setting a fashion that has not yet died out. Did you ever know a Methodist minister who didn't dabble in medicine?" The full title of the volume was “Primitive Physlck: or. An Kasy and Natural Method of ('tiring Most Diseases.” The local preacher said that he had paid :'-!<) for the book, but that as a medical work it was not really worth -10 cents. To show the weakness of John Wesley's doctoring he quoted the following consumption cure: "livery morning cut up a little turf of fresh earth and, lying (town, breathe Into the hole for a quarter of an hour. 1 have known a deep consumptive cured thus." New Orleans Times-Democrat.

The Letters He Dictated. “Well, goi-dby, dear." said Mr. Truebny to his beloved spouse. "I must go and dictate those letters -twenty-six of thorn so you mustn't expect me home very early.” “All right,” was the response. "But I wish you wouldn't work so hard.” Half an hour later Mr. Trtieboy entered his dub and sat down, with three others, at a card table. “Just a moment, you fellows, before Hie first hand Is dealt. I've gut to keep my word with my wife. One of you just take down what 1 dictate*: 'A b c d o f g h I J k I m n o p q r s t u v w x y z.’ There, those letters are off my mind!"

THE TARDY GUEST. He Didn't Tell His Hostess the Truth About the Delay. Dinner had Itccn ready and waiting twenty tuinuh - Tin* wife of the tardy guest was very much embarrassed Just to think that her husband was so rude as to lx* late at a dinner engage merit and keep all the guests waiting! After awhile the belated one arrived, red faced and perspiring. “So sorry to keep you waiting," he said. “But I was detained at the <*f flee with an out of town customer. Just couldn't get away.” The excuse rounded all right ami was accepted by the hostess, but It was a myth The truth was: Preoccupied, he had gone home from the office at tin* usuu! time and found the house looked, much to his surprise. Where In the mischief I were his wife and children? ho won- I dered- Why didn’t they tell him th >y were going away? He went all around I the house and tried the doors, but tbev were looked. Then he found a piece of Iron in tin* lan-k yard and broke open a window and crowded In. He crowd cd out through the window for tin* evening paper and crowded back. IBread the paper, and still the wife and children didn't return. At (Buff o'clock in* remembered ticdinner engagement. While he dressed and rode twenty blocks the guests waited. But others have made the same blunder. Kansas City Star.
