“They co sow tnose so insecureiyf she said. “Haven't you a pin to spare?” ' “It seems almost a pity,” said he, while she busied herself over it; “but I suppose it will bo just as well now.” The afternoon was, as he had said, delightful, and his swift stroke left nothing to be desired. It was not cold, after all. and she never gave another thought to the cape until she saw it, when at last they got back, hanging deserted on the bathhouse door, where her brother had left it when he arrived there to find her vanished. The brother and sister were very alike in disposition and took things lightly and as they came. So he never openly resented her desertion—perhaps, as her new friend po nted out, too, had his more than adequate compensation. She called it, in her kindliest moods, an anticipation.but he maintained that he gave the incident its most appropriate title when ho named it a "fore* runner.” And this it was.

IN THE IRISH COURTS

Go thou thy ■way. and I go mine? Apart, yet not afar; Only a thin veil hangs between The pathways where we are. And "God keep watch 'tween thee and me”— This is my prayer. He looks thy way, He looketh mine. And keeps us near. I know not where thy road may lie. Or which way mine will be; If mine-will lead through parching sands And thine beside the sea; Yet God keeps watch ’tween thee and me. He holds thy hand, He claspeth mine, And keeps us near.

A witness in one of our courts seats himself comfortably, writes John Os Morgan in the Green Bay, crosses his legs, makes himself at' home, and, iu some instances, leans over and tries to chat confidentially with the Judge. In England the witness stands in a box, like an old-fashioned pulpit, the prisoner occupying a little larger box. while in Ireland the witness stands literally on a table in front, and beneath the bench. He is denied the privilege cf leaning on the front of the box. iike his English brother, but has to stand, often feeling most uncomfortable,making an exhibition of himself for the amusement of the people of the court Sometimes the court is indulgent and allows him to be seated, but that was so rare, In the days when 1 frequented Irish courts, that when granted, the witness was sure to be looked upon with suspicion ns being too friendly With the court.

The weather favored them, and his visit lengthened from a week’s end to a week and more. Ample time for a man of such ready methods to win for himself a girl not indisposed to be won. Thus his visit to the brother ended in his marriage with the sister —an old tale, but often a very pleasant one. It was later in the season, and boating interests had given way to the necessity of stock taking in fashionable wearing apparel and discussions on the relative merits of new and antique furniture. “I could almost wish.” she said sweetly, "that it was possible to trim a white satin wedding dress with braid in a sort of squiggly pattern of loops and turns.”

The Irish witness, especially when belonging to the peasant class, is often a trial to the counsel, for not only is he quick at repartee, but bis answers are often confusing by their quaintness and whimsicality.

In the Bankruptcy court I once heard a witness asked the amount of his gross income. "Me gross income, is it? Sure an' I’d have ye know that I've no gross income; I’m a fisherman, an’ me income is all net,” was the astonishing reply. These witnesses are often confused through the misunderstanding of words and phrases and as a consequence many a laugh cannot be suppressed, even by the most strict tipstaff.

"If you contemplate having one loop pendant to trip me up during the ceremony,” he said laughing, “1 am off!” "Then perhaps it is just as well to reserve braid as a trimming tor serge and cloth,” she said.

“Clumsy!” she said in a voice ringing with scorn. She caught up her skiut, just raising it from the ground, and hastened on. But she throw a few more or less acceptable home thrusts over her shoulder as she went on.

"Ho called me out of me name,” said a witness in a case of assault by a man on a woman. The justice, tryins to preserve the relevancy of the witness’ testimony, said: “That’s a civil action, my good woman.”

“I can’t think what you have been doing with yourself lately. Not improving, anyway. And you won’t get on in the direction you are taking, I can assure you. It makes me very doubtful as to the truth of all your yarns of conquest—they are just what 1 took them for—fairy tales, every me; For no girl would be tame enough to be trampled on, it that is your habit. You could not be so blind as that.”

A fox is entitled to all that is said for its wisdom and sagacity. Not long ago the Washington hunt of Valley Forge started a young fox in the North Valley hills, and the hounds were running it across tho open Held, when the hunters were surprised to see a much larger fox come from the woods and run diagonally across the track of the young fox ahead of the hounds, and when they struck the stronger track of the bigger fox they took it up, young Reynard thereby being saved from being run down and killed by the hounds. Old hunters say they have frequently witnessed this trick when young foxes were being closely pressed and in danger of being run down and killed by the hounds. Another and even sharper trick was played by an old fox some weeks ago while being hotly chased by hounds. The fox had run some twenty miles, and, while crossing an open stretch of country, was in danger of being run down and killed. In a field through which the fox was running with the hounds close to its heels was the cellar of an old house, with a portion of the walls still standing. The fox made straight for tho old cellar, leaped into it, and made its escape through a narrow opening in the walls. The hounds, supposing tho fox was trapped, dashed into the cellar pell mell to find Reynard gone and themselves in a trap, as the hole in the wall through which the fox had escaped was too small to permit them to get through. When the hunters rode up they found the pack in a trap, with one of the hounds wedged fast in the hole through which the fox had made its escape. By the time the hounds were got out of the cellar the fox was safe in its hole.—Philadelphia Times.

so many different directions. “Foreign parts’’ are no longer foreign in the old meaning of the term. Europe, Africa, Asia, are “next door’’ to us. What happens there to-day we know to-morrow—if we read THE CHICAGO RECORD, whose Special Cable Correspondents are located in every important city in the world outside of the United States. No other American newspaper ever attempted so extensive a service; .and it is supplemented by the regular foreign news service of The Associated Press. For accurate intelligence of the stirring events which arc shaking the nations—of wars and rumors of wars—of the threatening dissolution of old govern meats and the establishment of new—of the onward sweep of the race in all parts of the world—the one medium of the most satisfactory information is the enterprising, “up-to-date” American newspaper, THE CHICAGO RECORD.

I once heard a clerk ask a witness to take the Bible in his right hand. The witness replied that he would not do so, and continued to hold out the left. Then the court thundered out: "Take the book in your right, hand.

She gave the offending skirt, with the loop of braid dangling uncomfortably, a further hitch. She had the daintiest ankles —the word expressed her altogether—and the man following her made no objection. It was, indeed, his continued silence she seized on next —to misconstrue. "At least,” she said, with sisterly straightforwardness, "you might apologize.”

“Musha, it’s left-handed I am. an’ me right can't be depended on at all, at all.” The witness evidently thought that his physical incapacity would affect the value of his testimony, if ho used the right hand for holding the book. In a case of assault on a wife by her husband, the counsel for the complainant. after she had been sworn, asked most insinuatingly, and with a look at the justice, which was intended to create sympathy: “And now, Mrs. Sullivan, will you kindly tell the court whether your husband was In the habit of striking you with impunity?” The counsel looked again at the justice while awaiting the reply. “With what, sor?”

They had reached the landing stage where the boat was moored. The girl proceeded to take her place in 1* with the calmness and ease which only come to her sex through practice and long suffering. She was seated with the ropes in her hands before she really looked up at the man who had followed her —into the boat by this time. “Now let me see the stroke which takes captive your best girls,” she was saying, and then her eyes met his. Though it would have seemed more appropriate that he should be the one to blush, it was to her cheeks the color mounted. She actually hesitated before she spoke. So he was given the opportunity of speaking, and by this time he availed himself, willingly. “I do apologize,” he said, "very humbly.” His manner and the laughter in his eyes did not, however, accord wholly with such an attitude. “Well —really!” she began, but he interrupted her.

He was quite a genius at seizing his chances. He took her words as a concession and dipped his sculls into the water at the same time. “1 shall be able to talk so much better when we are moving,” he said artfully. “I fancy my stroke may prove as worthy of comment as your brother’s," he added.

"I forgot, and have nothing in the way of a wrap to offer you.” “No, I am not cold." she said, as stiffly as she could, “You walked on. you know, and then temptation seized me. An evil spirit disguised, most, charmingly disguised, as a piece of braid! And I could not resist it. I was only afraid you would think I had been suspiciously quick —for a brother.” “I wasn’t thinking," she admitted, dimpling. fhe mood for confession grew on him.

Philanthropic women have been interesting themselves recently in the marked revival of Honiton lace and in organizing regular bands of workers in and around Honiton. It is becoming a common thing to see the women sitting at their cottage doors in the evening busy with their cushions and bobbins, or, as they call them in untechnical parlance, “sticks.” A great deal of the work they do is effective enough, even if coarse in pattern, but being moderate in price it finds a ready market, though by no means of the delicate workmanship for which Honiton lace was once famous.

In the trial at the Gaiway assizes, a witness, one Patrick Flanagan, was a great friend of the accused and gave his evidence very reluctantly. He was thick in his utterances and added to his obvious dislike to testifying, he labored under the physical difficulty of having lost several of his front teeth in a recent fight. Several times ho was asked to repeat his answers, and he got excited. Then the use of long words by the counsel added to his nervousness, and he answered very inco herently. “Don’t prevaricate, sir,” shouted the judge angrily. ‘‘Prewaricate, is it!” exclaimed the witness; ’Tin thinkin’. me lord, it’s yerseif wouldn’t be able to help prewaricatin’ if three or four of your lordship’s teeth wor knocked out of your head!” “Not guilty, me lord, but the jury advises the prisoner not to do it again,” was the verdict in a case tried in Tipperary, and this has its counterpart in the verdict ot a Galway jury, "My lord, we find the man who stole the horse not guilty.” “How can you swear that the hens found in this man’s yard belonged to you?” asked a lawyer ot a witness who appeared against an alleged chicken thief in Waterford. “By the kind, sor.” “Why, that is absurd: i have some like them myself.” Quick as a flash of lightning the witness replied, ‘Very likely, sor, I lost some a bit before this man took thim this toime.” In a northern court an old woman was exceedingly garrulous, and insisted in telling the court what she would do if she were on the bench. The judge at last exclaimed. “An old woman is not fit for the bench.” “Sure, your lordship ought to know from experience,” was the retort which convulsed the bar, for the judge in ques tlon had earned the sobriquet ot “ohl woman.”

Some of the women, on the contrary, have attained a high degree of excellence and produce some lovely sprays. As a rule the cottagers themselves do not make up the flowers, etc., into collars, ends or ties, but sell them direct to a woman who mounts them and sends them to London and elsewhere for sale. Most of the women seem only to work at their pillows at odd times, in the same way as cottagers do elsewhere at knitting or crochet. The people of Devon, who prided themselves upon the beautiful lace once produced there, are rejoiced at its revival. Many of them look back with regret to the days when the queen’s wedding veil was made at Beer, and when no bride would have thought her trousseau complete without some costly examples of Honiton lace.
