It had been for Jimmle's admiration that she had craved the pretty hat And. after | all. it was Alice that Jimmle cared for. Two days later Alice came to her | counter breathlessly. "Oh. Bubbles," she said, "such a ! wonderful thlhg-has happened!*' j "What?" asked Bubbles lunocently. I And "then Alice told her of the wonderful gown and the daluty accessories I that' had come the night before in a ! big box. j "i can't imagine who sent them." "It must have been a fairy godmother." said Bubbles demurely. "And now. I can be Millie's brldesi tnaM." T=aroIea Alice -when she had exhausted all her conjectures as to the giver. "You won't mind, will you. Bubbles?" "No," said Bubbles steadily. And as she sold ueedles and pins and hooks and eye* and whalebones^&nd a hundred and one other things that day he told herself that she did not care. Why should she want to walk, beside . Jimmle Bryan when he preferred to >rss^Allce?

"Say. did she like it?" he demanded. ' "Of course she did." said Bubbles. "Who wouldn't?" But Jimmle did not answer lrorae- I diately. He stood looking down at her, "Say. little girl." he said presently. *you look mighty nice In that hat." "It cost just $1.08." Bubbles inform- ( ed him glibly, "marked down from $2." "I don't care what it cost," Jimmie stated. "You look mighty nice." Bubbles couldn't resist saying. "But I uot half as nice as Alice will In that j pink rjobe." "Bubbles, r-fcelieve .you're jealous." 1 dashed Jimmle unexpectedly. Bubbles' cheeks flanied. "\Yby. Jim- | | mle Bryan!" sbe faltered. "Ix>ok here." Jimmle demanded; "did j you think I was in love with Alice?" H . t'nder his keen scrutiny Bubbles was i forced to admit. "I couldn't very well j ! help it. could I r I "1 was afraid you would." Jimmie said, "that day when I planned to get ; her the things, but I bad promised. Oh. look here. Bubbles, you come out J to tlie park with me. and I'll tell you' j about It." And all the way to the park Bub-4 bles' heart sang, and sh" seemed to ! walk on air. and she was glad that he hadn't bought the hat with the white feather. She was gind she hadn't been extravagant; for Jimmie reemed to like her just as well In the black sailor with the red rose. ,' In the park the beds were full of : j aiqujls and tnllps and hyacinths and ^-c^otu^cs. and under the flowering aim j oucp-ti^e Jimmie and Bubbles sat down I to talkT^-^^ j "You see/^^Jitpmle explained, "there's Bob Tracers! nnd-^e's In the navy, j and he's away on a t?i>e<Vears' cruise, j and be made me promlserimtl'd look 4 after Alice-1-they've been in lov>^wJth each, other since they were kids?nfrd. i when Alice's father got sick I tried to help, but they wouldn't let me. and it , seemed as If getting her the dress | would U what Bob Would want me tn , I do, and now he's going to get home In (j time for the wedding, and I told Millie she'd have to have him for best man."

"After it deliberate-aim our hunter fired.'" .says M r. Cobb, "if 1 may j use such a word for the little puff, scarcely h-urd by us and entirely inaudible above the rustling corn | leaves at the distance of the deer. The animnl gavejjlight start as it felt the prick of the arrow on its Hank and turned partly around, sniffing the air for a scent and look("ing about as if searching for the insect that had bitten'or stung it. Detecting nothing, it stood still and unalarmed. At the end of 4 minute^ or a minute and a half at most its head dropped a little, as if it was sleepy..

At the end of ten minutes, though it opened its eyes when toucned. its breath became shorter and slower. Eighteen minutes after it was struck by the arrow it was d*ad." ' The Basking Shark. The ferocity' of sharks is not necessarily in proportion to their Size. For example, there is the great basking shark, so called because of its habit of lying motionless at the surface of the water. It often attains a length of nearly forty feet, but its teeth are small comparatively, and it probably nevler attacks man, depending upon f small fishes and Crustacea for its diet. " Another name for this species is "sail tisft,'^because of its great back fin, whictr-ajiows out of" the water like a sail when it is basking. Although sluggish ordinarily and easily harpooned, it exhibits great activity and enormous strength When struck, diving immediately to the bottom and requiring a great length of rope to hold it. These basking sharks are caught for their livers off the coast of Iceland, and the oil obtained is^ised to adulter-" ate cod. liver oil:" ~ A Household Industry.
