lint Fanny Leslie was not destined to
hear the la-t of the coal. Miss Helena
s. .lacipiin, who had chanced to surprise
thi'iii in the task, whispered it mysterious

Fielding. And every one knew, pres

"Kan," said he, "if you had wanted
money, you ought have come to me.
Haven't we been friends long enough to
induce you to put any conliileiice in met"
Kanny looked at him in serene surprise.
"I!ut, .Max," said she, "we don't want
money -no more than uaual, that is to
sav. Kverybody wants money, I sup

roon flowers, and laid it lovingly among
the rest of her floral trophies,
Honest Max, w ho had no idea of d i -plomacy,
plunged headlong into the sub

about your taking in tailor-work?"
"About my taking in tailor-work!"
"Ves. .Miss St. Jacipiiu saw you
working at it."
"Did she?" Funny's cheeks flamed
scarlet. "Miss St. Jacipiiu had better
have been attending to her own business.
Hut since she has (old you half a story,
1 may as well supply the other half. 1
am sure it is no secret."
And she told Max Lynlield the whole
of the simple tale.
"Fan, you're a trump!" saidh; "And

At this Max's honest countenance fell.
"I knew il," said he sorrowfully.
"You despise me. You think 1 am ii

Fanny dropped all her flowers, in In r

"Oh, Max," she cried, "I don't de

Had HIT, 'rt r Pickles.
The influence nf acids in retarding nr
arresting salivary digi -tmn is f.irtln r of
illipol lance in the dii tectic Use nf pickles,
iucg.il', salads and arid fruits. In the
case of vinegar it was found that one
pait in oOilO si n-ibly retarded this pro
cess, a proportion of one in l.ouo remit r
cl it very slow, and one in oOO ai rested
it completely ; so that when acid salads
arc taken together w ith bread the effect
of the acid is lo prevent any salivary
digestion ot the bread, a matter of little
moment to a person with a vigorous di
gestion, but t a feeble dyspeptic one of
snine importance. There is a very wide
spread belief that drinking vinegar is an
Itieacious means of avoiding gelling fat,
and this popular belief would appear
from these experimental observations to
be well founded. If the vinegar be tak
en at the same time as fat iiiaccou . food
it will greatly interfere with it digestion
and assimilation. .V Hnt,, ,,th I -nt'iri.

Your friend, Lrtnst Ingci-snll send- ynu
a message .ibmit some Indian Im) - of tin
M.ikah tribe, who live at Ni ail Ilay. T.
(ind that place, by the way, you tiiu-t g"
lu-l behind Cape Ki ll tely, wherever that
ipieer nameil cape may be. The d. amii
says most likely it's a dangerous cape,
judging from its title. Well, it -irtii.
that the Makah "loys have pets and a
form of amusement denied to m -1
youngsters. In niid-umnier great ipiau
tilies of fur seals approach the shore in
that region, and are chased in canoes ami
killed by the men of tribe for the s.ik" of
both the hides and the flesh. With tin 111
come many little "pup" seals, some !
which arc always captured and taken
home.
Tying strings around the tu cks nf the-e
"pups," the Indian buys make tin in
swim in the surf, ju-t outside the break
rs, and tow their canoes across the bay.
and even after them up the rivers. 1 1
short, th" Indian lads have a world !
fun w ith these gentle and graceful wa
ler-dogs. SI. A 'i.'A.J.m.
