- Bent. - I 0 o r o 4 o J o -J o o o 4 o $ o J o o i o 4 o By EDWARD S. SPINNEY. Copyright, 1509, by American Pres -Association. I waa tutoring a youth of nineteen. 1 had ft fancy to go abroad in tht diplomatic corpi, but as I had no influence to secure an appointment I kept my ambition to myself. My pupil, Alec Kirk, should hare been readb for college, but he -was not, and it ivai my part to get him ready as soon as possible. His father, after tnrning him oyer to me, went to Europe. Before leaving he gave mo a single instruction viz: "Don't let any woman snare him whllo I am away." I made a companion of Alec, and he seemed to enjoy my society in preferenco to that of young fellows of his own age. lie gavo mo his confidence in Gverythfng but one. k woman laid siege for him, and be did not tell me. His father had lectured him before going away on Ills susceptibility and told him that I was empowered to forbid Ills attentions to any woman. Alec not only failed to trust the matter to me, but told the woman who was trying to snare him of rny charge. Sho was smart enough to keep aloof from me, and I did not discover her or her object till I was informed of both by the housekeeper. I warned the housekeeper not to divulge the fact that 1 knew of what was going on. If I couid save the boy I would put his father under obligations. Mr. Kirk had great political influence. Alec wished the lady to win my good opinion. She, supposing that I knew nothing of their affair, consented, thongh reluctantly. I was Introduced to Miss Martha Colllngwood, aged twenty-eight, impecunious, passably good looking and of a common family. I caUcd on her with Alec and during the call manifested a friendliness that disarmed both. But whllo extending the olive branch I was sharpening the sword. I suggested that Miss Cpllingwood and Alec use the tennis court tit his home and oven offered If we could find another girl to make lip a set with them myself. I had in mind Miss Gladys Hoyle, a young lady who had the faculty of making tho most rasping remarks with the mo9t kindly protended intentions. Knowing thaf there is nothing which will turn a man from a woman quicker than a feminine fight, I hoped to use Miss Hoyle- for the purpose of drawing out whatever of temper Miss Colllngwood might possess and intended that Alec should witness tha$cfimmage. "Vojsecurcd Miss Hoyle, and I chose herformy partner. Miss Colllngwood opened tho game, serving to mo. I cent the ball back, and sho returned tt. It dropped Just within the line, but I pronounced it foul. "That wasn't foul," said Mlsa Colllngwood. I looked at my partner for support 4lCertalnly it was," she said. "My eyes must have deceived' mV said Miss Colllngwood. "Some people can't play teanls at all," returned Miss Hoyle, "on account of their eyes. I thought I saw something a nllss with yours. It's quite noticeable." There was an ominous flash from Miss Colllngwood. She mad no reply, and the game went on. My own game had opened auspiciously, and fortune continued to favor me. Miss

Hoyle in volleying close to the net j sent tho hall against Miss Collingwood's nose. The latter dropped her racket and caught a trickling stream of blocd in hor handkerchief. "You d:d that on purpose," she cried, ' casting a flashing glance at Miss 1 no yle. i "You flatter me. If I could hit r, mark like that I'd enter for a eham-1 plonsliip." replied Miss Hoyle. ' Mtss Colllngwood was getting ready for a rejoinder when I added to her

raffling by asking if she would proceed wlih the prame. "I don't think she'd better," Miss Hoyle put In, "with that nose. It'll be nil the colors of the rainbow tomorrow. My advice is raw beef." "Some people are offensive with their advice," snapped the sufferer. rieasure had gone out of the game for Alec. He proposed to stop playing. Miss Colllngwood started for the house to put cold water on her nose. Alec, instead of accompanying her, fouid occupation In gathering tho balls and rackets. I whispered to him to taka Miss Hoyle home. She smilingly accepted his Invitation. As the two walked away Miss Colllngwood turned and darted a fiery spark. I saw her home, adding fuel to the flame by telling her that I thought Miss Hoyle had sent the ball against her nose on purpose and was trying to catch Alec. I supposed that I had only made a beginning, but I was mistaken. When Alec and I met again he confessed to me that there had been as affair between him and Miss Collingwood (at tvhich Ä expressed great surprise), but that it was ended. I kindly offered to give him my advice as to the best method of dropping it The Illusion had passed out of him, and nothing could bring It back. When Mr. Kirk returned from Europe I made no mention of his son's escape, but he learned of it and asked me about it I told him tho story, at the end of which heteaid: "You should be in the diplomatic corps. The first requisite of a diplomat is absence of conscience. Judgins from your acts in this case, you don't know the meaning of ttfe word' I confessed that I had a hankering in the diplomatic line, and he- promised to see the secretary of State in my hcK terest The result was an appointment, and. having begun with a small trk4

But this time lie struck a bargain immediately with big Bill Saunders und the half dozen powerful but lazy blacks who follow at Ilia heels.

Next morning they were mystified to see big Bill and his cronies again in the market place. "Whacl ja dorn' hyuh, Bill?" asked Hannibal Harrison Tyler. "LookiV fo' wuk," Bill repHed sadly.

The Clever Veaver Bird. An interesting bird is tho "weaver' It ?eems to be fond of making enormous nests merely for the purpose of exercise in the art of construction. Supply these birds with strings and straw, and they will use them up rapidly, and their fabric is woven with a perfectness that is astonishing. In some countries it is the custom of the weaver

birds to colonize and build one big flat topped platform, two or three yards across, which is so admirably put together as to shed the rain as well as any roof could do. Under this roof they make individual pocket shaped nests, bringing up under this unique structure a large and' interesting family of little weavers. v There is another bird, called the "tailor," which, instead of weaving its nest, incloses it in big leaves and stitches the latter together with plant fibers, just as one would sew piece of cloth. uakwheat Cake.
