A Job In the Senate v,. Chamber sve ht, 1005, by Frank H. Sweet ent up the middle steps and turned around the corner to the right. A long line was extending back from the door, expectant, impatient, though the visitors' gallery would not be open to the public until 12. She drew from her belt the one remaining link of former opulence. It still lacked ten hinutes, and she slipped the watch Back with a scarcely breathed sigh. Why had she come here at all, she thought accusingly? She would be bet- ter visiting the stores in search of a position as clerk; there were surely some business houses she had not yet been in. And--and besides-- "Her eyes were brighten, and a flush came and descended to her lips in a Ike the smile of the old days before £ i Y a prospector and her father an extensive mine owner. And he had not forgotten. Even before she saw him Be had sprung from a carriage, with out regard to his horses, and was com- Ing up the postoffice steps with out- stretched hands. "Good heavens! You here, Muriel-- Miss Ashburton," he had cried, with a gladness in his voice which he did not attempt to conceal and which brought | #n answering color to her face and light to her eyes. There had been nothing between them except a look and hand pressure, but she had often thought of him in these later dreary years and was glad to know he had remembered her " everywhere," tinued, "but without a clew. 1 was afraid you had gone from my life But pardon me; we cannot talk here, and I have a great deal to say May 1 call on you at ouge--this evening? 1s your father here?" "My father is dead," she had man nged to say. Her brain had been in a whirl, ber heart in a tumult What did it all mean? What was this fm petuous madman saying fmplying? By a strong effort she had controlled her self. "Yes, you ghe had an gwered in a low volce. "I--I will be glad to see you." And she had given him the number of the house in which ghe rented one small room. everywhere he had con- may call" 1 "Thank you. I will be there early would ask to go back with you now put I have an appointment which is Isn't It providential, I have been In already overdue though, this meeting?

You remember I was a Jack of all trades, fre af boy to an impecunious prosy with ocen glonal dabs at fresco painting and jour pallsm to help me through college But f will net detain you here in" the wind any longer." She had watched him spring Into the carriage and drive away, an odd light in her eyes and a warm color in her cheeks. As she went down the side walk she laughed softly Eight years before she would not have been like this. Evidently be was without &ny regular employment, just doing some er temporary work in the senate che --fresco painting pr bly, for he bad spoken of being fs ir with that. At first, from his belr in the carriage holding the horses, she had thought he might be a coachman, waiting for bis employer's return. Rut, after all, what did it matter? Coachman or painter or fmpecunious prospector, he was warm hearted and honest and ambitious. She could read that in his ayes aud in the strong, full grasp of his bands. And be had remembered her and--and cared for her. It was beautiful to know that io the hurrying, Indifferent world there was one who still thought of ber and cared for her a Mttle. The manner or Jack of employment was such a small matter compared with that Knowl edge of life soon leveled such petty dls tinctions Almost unconsciously her steps had turned toward the capitol. The only alternative scemed a continuation of ber search for employment, and, some- how, she shrank from that just now, even though she bad been restricting herself to a single meal a day for a week. She would celebrate the finding of a friend. It was opening day at the senate chamber and would be unusual ly Interesting, and perhaps she might sce this friend himself or some of the work he had been doing. There was a sudden stir In the line abead of her, and she felt herself being pushed forward. The door was open t last, and foot by foot, yard by yard, was being impelled toward it. But she entered every seat was taken, she could only crowd herself into marrow space behind the last row. see the chaplain and a few 5 gn the far i another, followed by a short recess fn which there was a great shaking of Bands and Introductions among the 1H) Hin §303E ih egg ih 2 | soft, evanescent smile that was more | + fie wis looking at him with wide eyes, "Why were you in there, nt a desk " She demanded.

Somehow the people seemed to like my ways, and last year they hatched up a plot to send me here. But come, we can talk better at the table. 1 have a proposition for your considera- tion, and," his voice suddenly becom- ing grave, "I hope you will be able to pee your way to accede to it Come." And she, after a moment's bewll- | dered, ecstatic hesitation, went. An Animal Cemetery. In spite of much agitation upon the subject at various times, lovers of ani- mals have never succeeded in estab- lishing [n this country a cemetery a8 ' elaborate as those in several European looked for you height will have no desirable result." capitals, The largest and most beautiful ant mal cemetery is La Necropole Zoolo- gique, in Paris, or, rather, in the suburb of Asnleres. Here a large plot of ground is laid out for the interment of dogs .and ether animals, and here are _gmonuments {n every way as ' the graves of. dead. > Some famous dogs have sculptures to mark thelr memories, and dog kennels in marble are favorite vaults. For $2.50 a grave is leased for three years, and this fee includes the services of a dog undertaker, uniformed and mount- ed on a tricycle. For $100 a grave may be leased In perpetuity, and between these extremes may be found prices to suit all purposes. The cemetery occupies an entire island in the Seine, and, apart from the rental of graves, the company owning the property makes a handsome profit out of the sale of admission tickets to visitors, The Race He Won. In the old whaling days a New Bed ford captain fell in with a lot of his "townies" in the Pacific, says the Chi- cago Record-Herald and after a land- ing for water on the coast of Bouth America, began a boat race off shore | toward the ships. The old skipper kept | muttering to his crew to, take it easy | | { | | | | The others jeered him as he fell be | hind, but he took it cheerfully. "The race I'm after is the race home," he said. He pointed to a little bight in the rocks into tvhich the crew could | just see. | © "Ever see that rock In there before?" he asked 1 guess not. That's & | cow whale and ber calf up there on the shore. It's her nursery." When the others were far enough away to give him a clear field he made | for the shore. He got the cow and the | enlf.

The young soldier was in a dll a. He durst | not challenge so dist uished a per- | sonage, yet he must notice the affront Therefore, keeping his eye fixed on his highness and smiling at the time, os if he took what bad been done In jest, Oglethorpe exclaimed, 'That's a good joke, but we do it much better in Eng- land' Whereupon he flung a whole glassful of wine in the prince's face. The affair ended In good humor." | The Mantelplece Bottle Experiment. You find yourself on a picnic perhaps without a corkscrew nnd with a lot of bottles, all of them with corks in them. Hardly anybody knows what to do. The solution of fhe difficulty is, how- ever, it seems, perfectly simple: "Place the bottle, cork downward, upon the edge of an ordinary mantelplece, steadying It, of course, with the hand. Then with a slight impulse turn it so that it falls upon the ground on (ta base. Pick it up, and you will find that the cork has started. It ls sometimes necessary to repeat the operation be- 'fore the corle can be withdrawn with fing th The present writer can testify to the efficacy of this "minor art" He had, it is true, to arrange his picnic in au ordinary room so as to have the man: telpiece handy. But there was 'no aifv culty after turning the bottle on ite base, "with a slight impulse," in ex- tracting the cork from the ruins. Thera was no need to repeat the operation.-- London Spectator, May Weddings. May weddings are supposed by many persons to be unlucky. Itisa heritage from the ancient Romans.

Sheridan's Trap. Any Interruption while he was mak- fng a speech always caused Richard Brinsley Shemdan considerable annoy- ance. On one occasion the dramatist ghowed his displeasure of a fellow member of the house of commons who kept crying out "Hear, hear" few minutes.
