He did not call on her that first even- tmg, theugh he walked past the gate four times, unaware of the fact that behind one of those slanting shutters a pale woman stood watching him pass and repass, says Lippincott’s. The nun in her self-elected cell had and made use of means of communication with the world, in the shape generally of Jimmy the choreboy. She knew whose was the tall figure on the side- walk. She stood at the window when she could no longer see him; she hear@ his slow footsteps go by for the last time and die away. Half an hour later she went upstairs to her bedroom. Be- tween its two windows hung a long, old-fashioned mirror, with carved can- delabra on either side. She lighted the three candles in each. The mirror showed a tall, slim figure, a face as col- orless as an anemone, an abundance of auburn hair carefully arranged. Mira Bascom studied this reflection closely. Then she unlocked a black-walnut chest which stood in a corner and lifted’ out its contents till she came to a mass of pale muslin, which diffused an odor of lavender as she shook it out, It was a white gown with lilac sprigs, made with the full skirts and sleeves of a bygone fashion. She pur it on, fastened the belt of lilac ribbon, which still fitted exactly, and, standing again before the mirror, loosened slightly the bands of her beautifu! wavy hair and pulled it into little curls about her face. It was a vision of youth which looked back at her from the glass. Not a thread of gray showed in the hair; the fine lines abqut the placid eyes were invisible. The skin had the dead whiteness of things kept from the sun. But a®she gazed a del- Jeate flush overspread her face, her rec-brown eyes lit up till their color matched her hair; she smiled in startled triumph. She was still beau- tiful. Then a swift change came over her. She blew out all but one of the candlea and, turning her back on the mirror, took off her gown with cold, shaking fineess. GREAT GIRL. She Pleases the Mcn at the Boarding Mouse. “Greatest girl at our boarding house you ever saw,” declared Quirkly, with a giggle, according to the Detroit Free Press. “Never says what you expect her to say, and you’d be disappointec if she did, after hearing her. Dry- goods clerk sits opposite her and asked the other day if she really thought there were bargains in the matrimonial lottery. ‘Of course there are,’ slie answered, with a laugh. ‘: myseif have been marked down from 38 te 25.’ Old bachelor that sits next to h¢r at the table spilled his ice cream in her lap. She never screamed nor fan away, but effusively took him by the hand and congratulated him on the coolness of the entire proceeding. Dude bourder i--! the nerve to pro- pose to her ard :..c tock half an hour explaining to him how it was all she could possibly do to support her moth- er and herself. When she thought of taking on any more obligations she would certainly have another talk with him, The chump went around telling it, proud as a turkey gobbler. Real estate fiend wanted to sell her a lot for twice what it was worth. She closed the deal by offering to take half his commission and give him a quit ¢laim to the lot. Hhe still scratches his head and looks at her from the cor- ners of his eyes. Think of laying my own fortune at her feet. Haven’t the slightest idea that she will accept and for that very reason am inclined to think that she will.” he Arctic Fox. A curious thing lz told about the Arctic fox---that he imitates the cries of the birds cn which he feeds and so entices them within his reach. Yeu he js not difficult to capture ag com- pared with other varicties. He readil: enters a trap, and when at large wik suffer the hunter to approach him with within easy shot. He burrows his fellows ip groups, making es similar to those of the prairie and, like that redent, he will pop 8 head out of the hole to salute the sser-by with yelps. Bhe “Chink” Was Not Slow. From the New Orleans Times-Demo- erat: “You may talk to me about the solid, stupid Chines,” said an accident- tmeurance agent, “but I know better. The other day I insured Hop Lee’s life for $1,000. A few days afterward a weak-leoking ‘Chink’ called at my office and asked to see me. ‘Well? said L ‘Me wantee flive hundle dollar,’ gaid he. ‘What for? I demanded. ‘Hop Lee,’ responded my caller. ‘He gend me. Got thousand fer dead. Half ftead, wantee half money—flive hundle dollar.’ Say, I didn’t do a thing to that Chineman.” Very Desirable. Algerpon Verisoft—I feel as tiough my presence is not desired. Miss Play. stheboys—Oh, no; on the cozu..2y, your presents are very acceptable.—New York Tribune, PROCEEDINGS! | Official Publication of the Pro- ceedings of the Meeting of NOVEMBER 19, A. D, 1898.
