C NAN WAS RIGHT ; They, were very much in love, Ethel wynne and Percy at least Ethelwynne was, and in the, secret recesses of her tnind and heart she felt pretty sure that Percy was too. ; Percy was bashful. There was no doubt of that. Times without number had she given hini the best chances In the world to tell her that he loved her. and he had not told her. - She had lured him into the most dimly lit corners at the "proposal parties," which all the girls were having. She had half pre tended to take his play proposal serl usly, but that hadn't been successful. She remembered, with a sting of wounded vanity, that he had actually . seemed relieved when his five mlnute3 : were np and he had gone on to propose to the next girl. She was pretty sure that he loved her, but she wanted to be surer. She based her belief npon solid facts. Per cy had a good deal of sense, she reflect ed, although not as bright as some. If attention went for anything, he cer tainly must be serious. He was good for the theater at least one night a week, had eaten expensive luncheons with her as often as she would con sent to meet him downtown and make his midday meal happy; he had sent her innumerable boxes of candy and dozens of Sowers. Indeed he had at ways "given her a good time" in every way he could. "What do - all these things mean," argued Ethelwynne silently to herself, "except that he is really in earnest?" And as yet he had not proposed! What could she do? Her best friend, Dorothy, had just become engaged and was receiving the "best wishes" of a few of her most in timate friends, the public announce i ment not having yet beenjnade. "It is to be formally announced at rny dinner tomorrow night," said Ethel wynne's cousin, Mrs. Jack Mather, a dashing young matron, who had mar ried a lot of property, with a brainless youth attached, and now wanted every one else, married too. "I'll have the favors heart shaped, I think," she said. "Wouldn't you?" Just at that moment Ethelwynne hat ed Dorothy. "By the way, honey," continued Mrs. Jack, "when are you and young Chip pendale going to get serious? Seems to me you're going, along at an' aw fully .slow pace. Just like this last winter this time. What's the matter? I believe I'll just take a hand at this myself and hurry things along. Don't you want me to announce your engagement-tomorrow night, too, and see what will come of it?" r Ethelwynne was stunned for a mo ment, but she rallied quickly and, with flushed cheeks and shining eyes, said, "Nan, I'll dare you to!" The dinner was a great success. The announcement of Dorothy's engage ment to her clever young doctor had been received with great applause and some consternation among two or three girls who had secretly adored the doc-, tor themselves and whose eloquent glances at each other meant Jn the feminine cipher code: "The sly thing! How did she do it?" - They drank the health of the newly engaged couple and showered them with congratulations, and then then .Mrs. Jack rose, held high her glass and said, "I'm sure you will all join me in wishing the best of success also to my cousin, Miss Allyn, and Mr. Chippen dale." . Everybody looked a trifle queer, Per cy noticeably so. Ethelwynne was demurely confused. . It had hardly been r.n announcement and yet it had. Aft er a moment of dazed surprise the guests came to the rescue, repeated the congratulations and drank to the health of Ethelwynne and Tercy even in more cheerful fashion than before. They even rose from the table and, with laughter and jests, returned to the drawing room. . "Oh, Mr. Bennett!" said. Ethelwynne a few minutes later. "Oh, do you think it will get into the papers? Whatever would I do?" ' - (Mr. Bennett was connected with one of the city dailies.) "Why not?" he said, with a meaning look and a smile. "Isn't it all right? They are always put there, you know. You mustn4 be so modest."--. "Oh, well, you see, yes, of course, it's but then, don't you know, it's so very dear me, here comes Mr. Chippendale now: Oh, please, Mr. Bennett" "Miss Allyn," said Percy in a solemn tone, "can you give rue a few minutes? There's something I want to say to you." A half hour later they emerged from the music room looking - a hundred times more confused and conscious than they had at the table, but withal very happy. -As they passed an alcove where John Bennett was flirting des perately with a pretty dark eyed, girl In a blue gown Ethelwynne leaned over, touched him on the shoulder and said, "Do you know, Mr. Bennett, I don't believe I should mind so much, after all." . v The next morning Mrs. Jack Mather received a letter which contained only a clipping from the morning paper. It read: . .; "The engagement i3 announced of Miss - Ethelwynne NAllyn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Porter Allyn, to Mr. Per cy Chippendale. The wedding is set for an early date," And across the margin was written in Ethel Wynne's scrawling hand: . . "Nan, you are all right" Cincinnati Commercial Tribune: A Similarity. ! - "Did you ever try tne stock marKetr; f asked the eastern man. ; "No," answered Broncho Bob, "but r It's my guess that a deal in stocks is pretty much like a deal in faro.

The Crab Eating Raccoon and Pecuf ; V iar Crustacean Taste. . , What made the crab eating raccoon ; first take to Ids queer diet? The question is suggested by a specimen of this strange animal which has arrived i at the menagerie and will be happy to oblige any generous visitor with an Illustration of the quickest way to kill, nnshell and swallow a crustacean with out artificial assistance of any kind. Doubtless the peculiarity originated in the shore frequenting habits of the species, and, being a delicate feeder, the succulence of the crab, once crack ed, was an obvious inducement to re new his acquaintance on every possi ble occasion. Originally probably a fruit eater, the raccoon Is inquisitive and dainty, both strong incentives to experiments in diet. When an indi vidual sees a small object he does not understand, his actions fall under three headings. He first puts the article to close scrutiny, both with his eyes and that ' supercilious upturned nose of his; then he takes it away and washes it a very characteristic action of this water loving animal and final ly puts it to the grand test of eatable ness or otherwise. If it appears un palatable, he gives It to his wife. In this way it is easy to imagine how the creek loving coon, wearying of too much fruit, made his first crab supper and, though he has never been able to add a squeeze of lemon or brown bread and butter to the repast, has be come a confirmed lover of Crustacea ever since. Al! creatures 'make experi ments of the sort and occasionally car ry them on until they become a fixed liabit, and ; their whole . structure ; is modified in accordance. Nature, for instance, never intended the osprey to live on fish. It was the temptation of an old world trout in difficulties in the shallows that first led the great hawk astray. Some small Brazilian monkeys, again, live almost exclusive ly on birds' eggs, an Australian parrot has given up a proper vegetarian diet for an exclusive regimen of mutton, and many other instances of the same unorthodox appetites might be - Cited.
