Answer ' me. Ilcrndon Copeland 1" Vouns Mr*. Copeland sat on the porrli of the trent old queer-winged, rial brick country house, her tiervouily enertetlc handa peeling peaches. A handsome old man. bearing himself with an air of statellnrss that cone ported well with the goldhraded enne that lay across his knees, sal on the stile In front of the house. The low-spoken answer of the husband did not reach him. "Ye*. Ule home for oh! men would ' he more respectable than the pocrhouse," the woman went on.

Why he married Myra Ilerndon. the , handsome girl wintering In the .South. , be never knew, unless It was that when his heart was bleeding over kls , broken engagement to Marie Ralqact. t and the rumor of her coming marriage, he was easy prey. , Myra had not been unkind to him. / She had not sympathized with hla vagaries. but she had treated them with •• tolerance ; she hsd not troubled him In t his taste for curios snd antiques, and lumr tor curiua nnu antiques. ana

Sat en the SUM. when hla fortune iu gone, through hla mistaken kindness to a friend, she had used bars for their maintenance without overmuch upbraiding. When Myra was gone and her property, entailed, bad fallen to her nephew. Herndon Copeland. there was nothing else for Allen to do but to stay with Herndon. Fpr some months he hsd been quite happy. Old Joanna, the housekeeper and cook, waited on him agreeably, and patiently; Herndon kept blm eupptlcd with Ilavanas and a little pocket money. He still rode across the country when he liked, he collected his curios without mental apology to anyone. Then Herndon had married Sophia Vail. A fortnight after she came Into the house she unceremoniously removed Allen's ancient candlestick, his bits of stone, his coins and his sharks' teeth from the parlor to an old outbolldlng. lie almdkt wepl when he found '« treasured bit of heavy crystal from the hot springs of Arkansas taken for a prop to a chicken coop. Thin tho young bride trent away black Joanna and cared for the bouse snd cooked the meals herself. Allen no longer bad his hot water brought to his room, his chocolate and his hot biscuits for breakfast Sophia dedared that coffee and toast were quite sufficient for all her family, and that those who lived with her might wait . on themselves, as she did. Old Allen was troubled. T|)e Indies of his household had always required servants; they had always been hos- i pi table, generous, thoughtful of the , old. No one of them would have ■ dreamed of sending a relative to ao j Inatltutioo of charity. A slow tear— the tear of old age hurt i — crept out on Allen's check, -lie felt I in his pocket for a handkerchief, and i drew out with It a crumpled newspa- I per he had picked up on the rond that i morning. i He wiped hl|. eyes and adjusted bis ' glasses. To his surprise, the paper I wgs s copy of a southern dally, snd 1 on Its cover was a picture of the St 1 'Its lies hotel.

It Was- the fashion then for ntbei •young folk to accompany" the newly married ones on their wedding Jour ney. He and Marie Itslqtiet had beer of the party — brown-eyed Marie whose grace aud vivacity had enchanted his" lu-nrt. and of whom, even now, when he was old — sixty-nino — h» Could uot think without a quickening c of his pulse*. s Their quarrel was over's red rose j he had given her; that she had taken i, from her belt and lightly presented ta Oh.

Wicked -thing, why have they kept you 7" "He'd fit on Royal." observed one of the decorators to a companion. Allen heard him. "I'm In the way here," he thought; •Til go down on Royal and look at the curios." hd On the narrow old afreet, at the door d-

• of the largest antique shop. Allen stood j* aside to let a tittle white-haired lady. •. with brown eyes that were sperkllugly bright, enter before him. ■— "I had almost forgotten the old gold 4 chain I had Intended for one of my £ granddaughter's wedding 'gifts." the ■ said to the proprietor. "Ixd me see = the chslns quickly, please; I've but a B few minutes to spare. Indeed. I ought [. to b* at homo now, with but three - hours between me and losing my all !" » "And Celeste Is going to England £ without youl" The antique dealer spoke with tho air of an old friend. ' "Yes," she faltered. "Godfrey Insists that I go with them, but I'm too . old to be transplanted. I mutt stay on here th my home, alone and lonely, i until I am called." ^ "It Is not as though you were poor," the man consoied her. "No." she answered ; "If I were that „ lenlt would provide. But oh, Ite- ' mond. what will my fortune and my great house be to me when I have ne . 'one I tove to keep me company?" Allen could bear no more. Stumbling forward. he laid a gentle hand on her shoulder. "Marie— little onelook at me!" he cried. "Have you forgotten Allen?" "Come here. Sophy." Herndon Copebind. standing by bis mall box, called to his wife a few days later. "Read these, will you*' "These" were the notice of the marriage of Allen Qlfford to Mrs. Maria Ralqnet Joubert, of New Orleans, and a letter. ' "My dear nephew." ran the letter's old-fashioned writing. "I left you to go to an old men's home, but on my way I found tt was my Joyous priv- ' liege to go to an old lady's Instead." I "CbsroWhtrip." /- ' The so-called "Cherokee Strip" was | , opened to white settlement In Septera- . ber, 1803. This entire Cherokee coun- 1 I try was not quite one-quarter of tha ' I old Oklahoma territory, being about 9.700 miles In extent The Creek Indiana ceded part of their domain In , Indian territory to the United 8tates government in 1806 for 30 cents ao sere, snd tho Semlnoles sold their entire holdings for half .that price per j acre. White men were pre-empted by 1 law from settling on the Indian lands In that territory, and It was unoccu- 1 pled for a long time. In 1890 It was 1 necessary to use troops to drive white 1 settlers out. who had stolen Into the territory. On April 22. 1889. these • lands were declared open fbr settle- 1 mentf When these rich lands were 1 opened for settlement 20.000 people 1 walled to cross the Une when the slg- ' nil was given. ' : 1 Paintings Infatuate Men. The officials of museums and picture galleries can sometimes tell very la- "| tdtestlng things about their visitors. It has often beea necessary to forbid men and women from entering certain galleries where they have fallen ta love with pictures of exceptional l beauty. Men have become ao Infatuated with painted loveliness that they " have made themselves absurdly conspicuous. The famous picture of 5: "Monn Lisa" turned the heads of many and some women. After "Mods was stolen, many letters, poems <" snd beautiful flowers were often placed ( before the empty space she once adorned. Napoleon was one of "Mons It most ardent admirers, and when he became emperor and found the picture In tho palace at Fcntalnebleu. had It removed to his bedroom, and It hung qftere until his fall, when J was taken to the Louvre. <: < INJURED BY FALL ,, Mrs. George Benner, of 81D Fourth 0 street, fell while alighting from a j B trolley car at Fourth street ami Atavenue, ^ few days since.

Id The rural English people have some * curious su|>erstUlons regarding the ir christening of Infants. The manner >n h which n child Is carried Into the church 0 Is supposed to affect the character and y disposition In after-life. The nurse, or Ir whoever carries the baby, should enter e the church with the right foot, stepping briskly and dancing the baby In e her anus, so that the little one shall b grow up cheerful and llghi-henrtcd. Another old-fashioned theory Is that 1 If a boy Is buptlced In the water prevl1 dusly used for a girl he will grow up feeble and effeminate; while If the f case Is reversed the baby girl will a grow up lacking In womanly attributes. '• In every country white U employed for 1 all baby gnrments, but where a little , color Is Introduced the su|*-rstltlous mother takes car* that It 1* a lucky ' shade.
