A SNOW DREAM.

AH the valleys were dim with snowing, Dear, I knew. Over the hill* the wind was blowing, Yet in my dream my heart was going Ever to find where flowers were growing,

Dear, for you.

There were no flowers by hill or river. Sweet, to shine. But down where shadowy willows shiver I heard a hope in the branches quiver, And I sent it home to your heart forever,

My valentine. —Mabel Earle in Harper's Bazar.

A WOMAN'S HATE.

"I don't believe very eerloasly in man's bntred nnd not nt all in that of woman. BIcn ha«e pride women have nerret. When pride is satisfied, it is disarmed when the nerves are quieted, the feminine soul knows no rancor."

I exploited this theory to a friend of mine, who smlied Incredulously afld said: "I can tell you a story that is worth more than nil the arguments you can make. I once suffered from woman's hate, and it almost ruined me, ns you shall see. "I was 20 years old. Some rich friends r.f mine were priving a house party at their country place and were entertaining several families at once. "Wo had tableaux, plays, games, and Hmused ourselves innocently and gayly. as do ynung in« and girl* of the same age. If we boyn looked at the peachy cheeks of the young latlies, we never attempted to taste tin-iii, nnd at tho most, in playing games or giving them flowers we lightly grazed their hands and lured to watch them blush, but we wore so unfaithful to these fiancees of a second and changed sweethearts so frequently that we gamboled Innocently in the dawn of love without really loving." And my friend gently bit his lip as though to taste tho sweetness of that time. "We all called each other by our first names arid often quarreled as openly as we amused ourselves. When young people from In to 20 are together in number, they art like children. One of the girls was given to contradicting me, and I had to tease her to revenge myself. She was witty in fact, too much so. She had bad a brilliant education and made great fun of mine. I, on my side, did not enjoy having words taken out of my mouth and the bloom from my repartee. The others often pitied us together for the general amusement. I thought her pedantic, and she considered me a fool. We never exprewd any opinion of each other's li'iysical advantages, but it irritat*d me to hear it said that she was slim and pretty, and one day in coming unexpectedly Into the drawing room I surprised this description of me from her—Sophie—'No wonder he wears mutton chop whiskers with that sheep's head of his.' "I thought this a detestable joke, and from that day the desire to tense Sophie seemed the \ocation of a deep antipathy. She on her part, emboldened by her own epigrams and delighted by her spltefulness, did not take tho slightest trouble to conceal her disdain, almost aversion, for me. "One evening we played forfeits. I thirsted for revenge. For a week wo hnd hardly said 'tiood morning' or 'Good evening.' As I had to choose a girl to ransom a forfeit by a kiss, I chose Sophie H. Every one laughed because she had to kiss me. She rose, came quickly toward me, and, /is we were at the far end of the salon l* an open door, she forced mo outside, so to speak, by the fixity of her gaze. When we were outside, sho said, 'What do you want of me!" with set teeth, doubtless to keep from biting inc. '1 want to make you taste of the mutton chops,' I said, turning my cheek. I agree that this was not a very brilliant reply, but 1 was hard pressed. "Sophie's eyes (lamed. 'Never!' said she In a low voice. "1 seized her hands and would have kissed her I force, for the game permitted It, I at she clinched her lingers upon j.ilno so hard that I felt tho most merciless of daws tear my flesh to the blood. She hurl me badly. I smiled, and she dared to smile at me with a fierce look. I let her go and enter the drawing room again. 1 ths followed her with my hands in my pockets to hide the wounds. They all thought we had kissed nicely, and we were applauded. "From that time I realized that It was open war litween that big, pretty girl and niv-rlf."

My friend «:(flr ed h*re to look at his hands, which no lunger bore the slightest trace of scars, "What does your story prove?" said I. "That Miss Sophie was nervous!1 Well, go cm. What followed?" "What followed!1" cried my friend violently. "She iHoame my declared enemy. "The day after the scratching I ceremoniously offered her some very pretty little nail scissors in a case. I believed that she wouldn't accept them or else would throw them away or attempt to dig out my eyes, but she was daring.

Thanks!' she said, with a laugh, treuibll^g with scorn. '1 will keep this ns a souvenir of a lesson well taught and well token "She shortened the stay of her family at the house in order to net «w«y from me, nnd the next year she did Dot return. I was busy nnd at*nil to take a diploma as civil engineer, so I only made occasional visits to our friends. I heard her spoken of. l\iple marveled at th# sharpness of her tongue. I saw her now and then in eooiety and found that she had faded somewhat. Then I felt sorry for her and forlvule myself to hate her, although she did everything In her power to free me from any scruples. "After five years of this distant hostility ami notwithstanding the fact that I was in no humor t*» marry my family urged mo to propose for one of Sophie 11 's friends It was a good match and a rich one for a man like me without money. I will confess that, although I was not in love. I was ambitious and loyal enough to I have made thi* sincere and agreeablej ViUing woman, who would have brought mo everything in worldly success, a happy wife "I l«ved r.o one. I hnd no feeling

my heart but t! is hatred, which was mora of a resentment than anything els*. I was a civil engituvr attached to a great enterprise of which 1 might Kvomt' the head, 1 thanks to my wife portion. The affair fell through. The young woman refused me on account of my frightful temper, and inf mother board that Sophie had spoken of me In such term* that the girl's parent* were thankful to have kept their adored child from the danger and unhappiness of marrying me. I had other pnof* of her animosity. At last I thought of nothing else eiily to humiliate r. to punish or crush her. to make her U-*e mo and scorn her She drove me crar^ My friend dropped his t?row at the Election. "Your enemy was nothing but a coquette, then." I said. "Coquette* Oh, no! When I met her, «h«

was always simply dressed, stiff, indifferent to the attention which her name and a certain proud grace always commanded. They said that she intended to be an old maid. "I spent one rammer at Dieppe, and I thought I was going to fall desperately in love with the beautiful Mine, de Guerpont. I was making love in the roost correct manner, and believed that I had created a great impression, when one fine day Mme. de Gnerpont laughed in my face and told me that one of her old convent friends, Sophie B., had pictured me as the most fickle and flirtations of men and not to be trusted nt all. This was too much. Couldn't she mind her own affairs? 1 was furiously indignant. I could have scratched her myself. Tho thought of her kept me from working. I could see her in fancy with the scissors I had given her cutting everywhere the threads of my destiny. Now and again I observed her, outwardly impassable, growing thinner, but still considered pretty. At last applied to the department of public works for a commission to study in our mining region. I thought that this once Miss Sophie could not interfere. She beard of my application through one of her friends, whose husband it seems was the secretary of the minister. "What she said I do not know, but certain it is she get ahead of me again. 1 fa led to get the commission. "I resolved to put a stop to this, even at the price of a scene or some impertinence. I didn't know how, but luck furnished me the desired chance. It was at a ball of this same ministry of public works, where they were anxious to have me as a dancer, but.notas an engineer. "I went there from spite, from idleness, from fatality, if you will. The first person I saw there was Sophie with her mother. I went straight to them, and after a formal greeting invited Sophie to dance. I must have looked terrible indeed, for I frowned. I hadn't the slightest desire to dance, and I felt positive that Sophie would refuse, and this I would take as a pretext to begin an explanation before her mother. Sophio accepted almost gayly. I gave her my arm and we moved away. "'Do you insist on dancing?' I asked dryly when we wore in the whirl. 'N'o,' she replied in the same tone. 'Let us talk, then.' '1 am willing.' "We walked stiffly, arm in arm, our two hearts thumping with anger, into a little reception room, where we were alone. She sat. I stood. "Did you ever have a serious conversation with a woman? If so, you must have noticed how* necessary it is that if a man wishes to keep his superiority, his rights and his certainty, ho must not look steadily at his femalo adversary. If you see her pale, blush, protestor beg, goodby rhetoric, reproachos, reviling! So I began tho discussion with lowered eyes and then raised them ceiljngward. I confessed my surprise, my Indignation at her treatment of me. Did she bear me ill will for my bygone pleasantries? Did she not understand that it was a cruel game, impossible for me to punish as sho was not a man? I was moved in speaking. I vowed that there was no leaven of hatred in mo. Carried away by a desire to overwhelm her, I made a picture of her as I really would have wished hor to be. I described her smiling, blooming, loving, pretty, witty— everything. Ah, how I could have respected and loved such a Sophio! "I dared to look nt her, and my eyes filled with tears. Think, my friend, the Sophie I had painted sat there before me with a sublime smile on her lips and a divine radianco of tears In her eyes. Sho held out her hands to me. 'At i»st!' said she, with a sigh, and rising. "I took her in my urms. You a/e right. Women iiato or pretend to only from too much love. Sophio told me so herself. 'When I felt that I loved you,' she said, 'I was more afraid of myself than of you. Yes. when we played that game and I scratched you, I loved you and was afraid of flinging my arms about your neck. Ah, your littlo scissors, how I have kept them I Many times I have been tempted to sevor a vein with them at the thought of seeing you happy witfc some ono else—away from me. Yes, I should have died at your marriage or if you had gone away. Yes, I kept track of you and slandered you to keep you. I love you. Do you believe me? Will you marry me?' "Did I believe hor? Did I lovelier? Ah, my friend, how pretty sho was. After a long, tender kiss I gazed at her and saw my ideal fiancee. The stiff, indifferent old maid was dead. "When wo returned to her mother, Sophie was so radiant that Mme. 13. asked her, Do you love to dance that much, my dear?' 'No, mamma 1 love him.' "Now you know the story of my marriage. I told it to you to confirm your theory. Tho only invinciblo thing In this world Is love. Hato Is a human Invention, false, fragile and Illusive. Come tomorrow and dine with my old wife nnd she will show the little scissors. We cut tho roses with them now."—From the French For Short Stories.

Too Risky.

If It Is true, as is generally conceded, that one must bo easy In mind and body to go to sleep quietly, it seems unlikely that a recent sojourn^* in a western state can have passed a restful night on one occasion.

He was detained by a snowstorm In a small town, the one hotel of which could scarcely le said to deserve the name. It was crowded to overflowing, and the traveler was nsslgned to a room in company with a tall, hard featured backwoodsman, who seemed inclined to give the stranger a cordial welcome. "There's only one objection to your sleeping with me." he said heartily, "and that ain't any objection to me, but you may feel different about it. Yon see, I'm an old trapper, and I generally hark back to the past in my drvnnis and live over the days when I was shooting wild animals and killing Injuns "Where I stopped last night they charged

FKE DAYS OF THE MODERN BELLE.

movement

t-h, for the time of the minuet, When stately movement on swayed And soft eyes spoke some quaint regret—

Gone are the days of the old brocade. In the tripping time of the waltz is made Some deft enchantment, and 'neath its spel' Her dainty heart on his sleeve is laid—

These are the days of the modern belle.

When Hetty was pretty in homespun yet And every fold her grace betrayed— Ah, somber jewels of coral and jet!

Gone are the days of the old brocade. From the rues of Paris we find obeyed The hints that Virot and Worth may tell, And gentle simplicity flees dismayed—

These are the days of the modern belle.

Till now grave memories arxionsly fret At the glittering splendid and gay parade And sigh for the times of Polly and Bet—

Gone are tho days of the old brocafte. When softest blushes in beauty strayed, And brimming dimples would come—ah, well! Those gentle years were meant to fade—

These are the days of the modern belle.

Ah, memory listens to fancy's aid. Gone are the days of the old brocade, And their very follies our loves impel—

These are the days of the modern belle. —Clips.

IN MIDOCEAN.

It was not a bad night at sea, but it was not a good one either. The sea was smooth and the wind was light, but the sky was overcast, nnd there was a low lying haze which narrowed the horizon down to a circle half a mile in diameter. The water over the ship's side looked black and oily, and here and there, when a lazy crest reflected the beams of one of the vessel's lights, the glitter of it was lurid and baleful. On deck all was silent, save for the occasional ill tempered comments of the first mate, who was on watch and had a sailor's disposition toward thick weather. "What in Africa is that slatting about so on tho main topsail yard? Here, you, tumble up and see what's adrift!"

His word9 were addressed to a tall, muscular boy who had been leaning against the rail and staring thoughtfully into the sea. Ferris James bad been in a dark reverie. He was not a happy boy, for everything seemed to him to have gone wrong. His father, once a man of means, had died bankrupt, leaving him absolutely penniless. Ferris was then glad to secure a berth as an ordinary seaman aboard the ship Glondower, outward bound for Bombay. It was while lie was meditating on his changed circumstances that ho received the curt order of the mate and responded with the Instinctive "Aye, aye, sir!"

The boy, strong and active, with the alert sinews of 17 years, danced up the ratlines liken lithe cat and was soon out upon tho yard, which had the swing of a gigantic seesaw. Ferris examined one-half foot by foot till he found himself on the extreme end of the yardarm. A moment later—he nover knew how it bnppencd—the yard seemed to slip from under him, and he shot downward with a sullen plunge into the sea. He barely had time to utter a startled cry before the waters closed over him.

When he came to the surface, ho saw something round and white floating near him. He grasped nt it nnd found that it was a life buoy which had been thrown from the ship. The vessel herself was fast slipping into the impenetrable gloom. He knew that a boat would be lowered, but he doubted that it would find him on such a thick night. After a time he began to emit at intervals the sailor's fnrrcaching "Aho o-o y!" There was no response out of the pitchlike blackness, and when threequarters of an hour had pwscd Ferris, with a strange feeling of indifference, stopped shouting.

A feeling of irresistible lassitude stole over tho hoy and weird numbness crept through his limbs. Ho felt ns if he were overpowered by sleep, and twisting his arms in tho life lines of the buoy, which he had managed to get over Ills head and down under his arms, he allowed his head to fall on ono side, and he lost consciousness. He made no resistance, for he felt that such a life as his was not worth struggling for. He remembered dimly afterward thai his Inst thought was, "I wonder where I'll wake up."

Very much to his own surprise he awoke in the same plare—a drift in tho north Atlantic, with only a circle of cork and canvas between him aud tho great circle of eterivfty. For few moments he rested languidly, scarcely moving even his hands. Then impark of hope fired him with a desire to sum the sea. Ho raised Ills head and slowly swept a gaze around his narrow horizon. He smiled at his own lack of enthusiasm when he apathetically discovered bark not more than a mile away.

The bark looked miserable. Her spars were all awry and her rigging was full of slack lines. She steered an erratic course under scant canvas, and altogether showed evidence of titter demoralization. "There must be a sick or mutinous crew aboard there," muttered Ferris. "I wonder which."

The thought that a vessel might pass near him in his desperate plight gave him a sudden desire to live, or at least not to perish so miserably. He began to think bow he could make some signal that might be seen aboard the bark when she erratically changed her course directly toward bim and came splashing cum bronsly across tho dun gray sea llko a great wounded bird.

Presently the vessel was not more than 800 yards away, and the boy raised his •olee In a far cry, Bark aho-o-o-y!"

Out of the tangle of wreckage forward was a raised face, which even at that distance looked pale and haggard. Its owner peered a moment over the waters and then waved bis hand. The next instant two or three other forms appeared on the bark's forecastle, and she shifted her helm. Ferris saw that all her boats, save a small dingey at the port quarter davits, were stove in, and presently be saw four seamen slowly and laboriously lowering away the

As tbev came alongside the boy

they gazed at bim with a dull cariosity in their black luster eyes, and one of them 1 said: "What are you doln there?" "Don't you think you'd better save me first and ask me questions afterward?" asked the boy. "I s'pom so," said tbe man in a dull

The* he helped tbe bdy to climb into tbe I boat and pulled tbe Glendower's life buoy tn after him, after which tbe resetted boy told the story of bis plight.

They were now alongside tbe bark, and

celved in a sort of dared silence. Tbe crew hoisted tbe light dingy slowly and feebly, when tbe boy gated around tbe melancholy deek. Stove boats, tangled rigging, piece* of shattered spars, splintered hencoops and broken skylights combined to make a scene of destruction such as tbe boy bad never beheld before. Presently

tii-t crow got tbe dingy to her davits, and thur. one of tbe men who bad pulled her beskoned Ferris to go aft. "Now," he thought, "I shall be taken to the captain and shall learn what's wrong here."

As he approached the knot of men on tbe poop deck he saw that they were all ordinary seamen. "It's a mutinous crew," be thought. "They've got the captain in irons below, and they wish me to join tbem, or join him." "What's your name?" asked one of the men, who seemed to be their leader. "Ferris James."

What's your rating?" "Ordinary seaman," be answered. A groan of dissatisfaction emanated from tbe little knot of men. "Just our luck!" said the spokesman. "What could we expect in this here bark? Why, she's a regular jonab!" "But I'm willing to work," said Ferris. "I'm a good seaman, and I'm ready to turn to and do my share, or even a little more, for you men look as if you were used up." "Used up!" said Tom' Hulkins, the spokesman of the crew. "Well, I should say so! Look at the bark!" "Yes, I've noticed her state," said Ferris. "No, you haven't," answered Hulkins, "because it uin't all to be noticed. I'll tell you all about it."

Then the seaman described how, some days previous, they had encountered a terrific gale, during which the captain, both mates and four sailors were washed overboard and drowned. Some sails and all their boats were lost. They were all worn out and bad lost courage, he added, ns there was no one on board who could navigate tbe ship.

When tlie man ceased talking, a dry sob shook his frame, while some of his shipmates turned and scanned the horizon with pallid faces and clinched teeth. The whole speechless horror of the crew's experience rose before Ferris' mind in a picture of misery. The next moment he was transformed from an indifferent boy to a hopeful man. Here was work for him to do, and in living for others he would find it worth while to live for himself. "Your compass is a good one, isn't it?" he asked. "Yes, it's good enough," answered Hulkins. "Is there a chronometer aboard?" "Certainly." "Is it running?" "Yes. I kept it wound up. I don't know what for." "Charts and sextant nil right?" "Yes, but what do you mean? Can you"— "Yes, I can," exclaimed Ferris. "I can navigate."

The glow of crimson that sprang into the pallid faces was like the first sunlight after an arctic winter. For an instant all were silent. Then the men fell to laughing, crying nnd embracing one another liko a lot of hysterical girls. "Will you take command of this bark, sir?" askeil Hulkins as soon as he could master his emotion. "I'm no 'sir,' said Ferris. "I'm just an ordinary seaman, but I'll navigate you to tho nearest port.'' "Hurrah!" cried the crow. "Now, lads," said Hulkins, "let's turn to and try to get her into some shape aloft." "Aye, aye!" was the willing response as the men made a dash for the rigging.

Ferris went into the captain's cabin and found the chronometer running. As a measure of precaution he wound it himself, aud then got out the sextant and chart. Presently lie went on deck to tako a morning observation for longitude. At noon Ferris got his latitude, nnd found that the course for Fayal, one of the Azores, was east by north. The wind held fnir, and under such canvas ns the little crew was able to sot the bark made a comfortablo live knots an hour directly on hor course. It was just nfter sunrise on the morning of the third day that one of the men cried, "Land, ho!"

Four hours later the bark was riding nt anchor in Fayal roads, and Ferris felt n& if his occupation was gone, but no officer could be obtained nt that port, and it be came Ferris' duty, after tho necessary repairs had been made, to ship five seamen and continue the voyage to Liverpool, for which port the vessel was bound.

On the nrrivul of tho bark at its destination great was the joy of the owners, who had given hor up for lost. They rewarded Ferris with a snug sum of money nnd made him second mate of the vessel. Ferris invested his cash in the bark's next voyage, which brought him a substantial profit. Fiv» years later ho was a shipowner himself and In a fairway to become rich. Ho often looked back to that gloomy morning when he floated on a life buoy in the heart of the North Atlantic and wished to die. "It was," ho said, "my darkest hour, and it came literally and figuratively just before tho dawn."—London Sun.
