I A TURN of THE?
f WHEEL.
, By Constance D'Arcy Mackay.

Maccay.
It was summer in Ballymoran long
flays of blue and white and green.'the
blue of the sky, : the white of drifting
clouds and the bright green of the
Irish turf. Gorse rose golden in the
fields; wild roses bloomed by the
hedges, fragile and exquisite, yet full of
snares for the unwary. Many an eager
child plucked at them only to with
draw a scratched finger.
Terry O'Rourke, looking up from his
potato patch, philosophically observed
that "thim flowers were as sharp as
they were swate, iyry one o' thim,"
and then smiled to himself, thinking
of Clodah Mulvaney. Hazel eyed she
was, with red brown hair, cheeks like
a wild rose and temper as keen edged
as the prickliest thorn.
j "Yet, faith, what matter about the
; thorns," said Terry, "if the' rose be
worth the winning!"
! He as as Quiet and determined as
i Clodah was hasty, and if, as his neigh-
, bors declared, he was a bit slow in his
. lovemadur he ws nonfi th! ess sur
True, he had a dangerous rival in Jim
Hagan, who had lately fallen heir to a
legacy and who had spent the half of
it on a brand new jaunting car fit for
the mayor himself. It was in this that
Jim had begged Clodah to accompany
him to the Gulmullet fair, some ten
miles distant.
"Thank ye kindly, Jim," she answer
ed, "but I've promised to go with Ter
ence." ,
"Well, thin, it's myself that will
have to ride alone," sighed Jim discon
solately, "for, sure, there's no one In
Ballymoran who can take your place
at all at all."
The night before the fair Clodah and
Terry sat before her door discussing
the joys of the morrow.
"We'll start early," said he, H'and be
back by nightfall."
"And I'll wear my best dress, with
the blue ribbons," said Clodah, "and
keep my coat in the back o' the cart."
"I mistrust ye'll have to hold It on
your lap, mavourneeii," said Terry, "on
account o' the pig."
"Pig!" cried Clodah.
"I'm going to take the pig along in
the back o' the cart. 'Tis a foine price
I'm expecting to get for her, and"
"Terry O'Rourke," shrieked Clodah,
"do ye think I'd ride In a cart with a
PiS?" ... .
"You've done It before."
"Niver with my best dress on." -
"Lave your best dress at home, thin,"
said Terry humorously.
Clodah sa-y no humor In Ms remark.
"You can choose betwain us," she
said haughtily. "Will ye take me or
will ye take the pig?"
"But, Clodah, girrul, be reasonable.
The pig can do ye no harm. She's as
clean as an angel and as well behaved,
and 'tis my only chance o' selling her."
Clodah stamped her foot.
"I've given ye your choice, Terry
O'Rourke. Once and for all, which will
ye take?"
Terry was usually slow to anger, but
now a danger spark burned in his eyes.
"I'll take the pig," he said.
Clodah flew inside and banged the
door.
Next morning she passed Terry's cab
in, riding with Jim Hagan in his Jaunt
ing car. Her muslin- dress was as blue
as the sky, and its many ribbons flut
tered in the wind. Terry was ont In
his garden, and Clodah feigned not to
see him, though Jim glanced round
with a look of triumph.
"How are ye, Terry?" he called out.
" 'Tis a foine day for the fain"
And they rattled gayly down the
road, the new yellow wheels of the
jaunting car shining in the sun.
Terry gazed after them. All the
brightness seemed gone from life. It
was as if the candle of Iris happiness
had been blown out, leaving him in ut
ter darkness. " 'Twas a wise man,"
he muttered, "who said that fortune
was a fickle jade. A turn of her j
wheel and where are ye now, Terry
O'Rourke?" '
Then he harnessed up slowly, put the
pig in the cart and took the road for
Gulmullet. j
There was no one to see Clodah j
drive out of Ballymoran save a few I
old women and children. The rest
of her neighbors had risen with the
dawn and set out for their fair hours
ago. Clodah, being of two minds
whether to go or not, had kept the j
ardent Jim waiting till she reached a '
conclusion. Now they rolled swiftly '
along in order to make up for lost '
itime. The road was alnvv-; deserted
save in the distance, vfi' there were
a few tardy -wayfarers liKe themselves.
And these, too, having the .start of
them, soon vanished. Clodah was con
tented enough. She felt that she was
looking her best, and if she had any
the kindest msband in the world when
the jaunting car gave an abrupt lurch,
and Clodah found herself sitting on j
t one side of the road,' while Jim scram-1
bled up from the other. He did not
even pause to nsk her if she was hurt
. "Oh, be the powers," he ejaculated,
"look at my 'foine car! The wheel's:
cS, ruined entoirely." - A
"It it's the wheel that's, troubling
ye" But Clodah's sarcasm was lost
on hun.
"My foine car!" he cried over and
over again. From where they 'stood:
It was five miles to Ballymoran anq
five to Gulmullet. The fields and bags.
nvjob c" C Sweet to Eat
stretched away unbrokenly to the sky
line. There was not a cabin in sight,
"Well, can't ye do something?" said
Clodah. Her ankle was paining her,
and the sun was very warm.
But Jim was better at repartee than
at meeting emergencies, and with his
head oa one side he considered the
situation.
"I'm thinking we'll have to foot it,"
he said gloomily.
There was a sob in Clodah's voice.
"My ankle's wrenched, and 'tis not
a step further I'll go," she avowed.
"You sit here thin and I'll go for
help," said Jim, his face brightening.
"Yes, and it's fair time and the coun-
J try full o' vagabonds! That's a grand
idea, Mr. Jim Hagan, to leave me alone
entirely by myself!"
Jim wilted.
"What'll we do, thin?" he demanded.
"We'll sit here till some one comes,"
said Clodah.
So they sat Birds sang in the long
meadow grass. A hare flitted by like
a shadow. Nothing else stirred. The
road stretched away white and desert
ed. Tim moodily scanned the horizon,
and Clodah wondered if the sunlight
would fade her ribbons. She wished
devoutly that she had never come.
Who could have supposed that her
pleasure jaunt would end like this?
She cast a quick glance at Jim. The
great, unfeeling umathaum! Never
once had he asked her how she felt or
If her fall had shaken her! Ah, Terry
was the lad! Terry always knew what
to do! , And she had lost him lost
him through her own folly! Well,
there was nd good In thinking of that
now, end she blinked hard to keep
back the tears. It was near noon.
Iler throat was parched, and the pangs
of hunger were astir. The sullen si
lence of Jim wore on her.
"Why don't ye say something," she
burst out, "Instead o' sitting there star
ing like a bump on a log?"
"Whist, Clodah, here's some one
coming at last!"
Through a cloud of dust appeared a
rickety little cart drawn by a gray
donkey. Terry was on the front seat
The pig rode stolidly behind. At sight
of their plight Terry halted. Clodah
hung her head and could not raise her
eyes. It was Jim who spoke first
"We're in a fine mess," said he. "The
wheel's broke, and Clodah's hurt her
ankle."
"Has she now?" cried Terry, a note
of anxiety in his voice.
" 'Tis not so painful whin I sit still,"
said Clodah, "but 'tis like the curse of
all the crows whin I try to walk."
"I'll tell ye the best way out," said
Terry. "I'll take Clodah with me to
the fair, and thin I'll send some one to
help ye with your jaunting car. How
will that be suiting ye?"
There seemed no other way. and Jim
muttered that it would suit him very
well.
"And you, Clodah?"
"If If ye will take me," she said
humbly.
"Here's a piece o' bread for ye, Jim,".
said Terry, "and a bit o' goat's cheese.
Belike it will shtay your hunger till
help arrives. Don't ate it too fast" ho
called back after he had helped Clodah
up on to. the seat beside him "don't
ate it too fast, for 'tis rich and likely
to give ye the dyspepsia."
For awhile Clodah and Terry rode Jn
silence. Then, "Clodah, glrV said
Terry tenderly, "'tis a churl I am at
times, but I meant nothing by it Will
ye forgive me for what I said last
night?"
"Forgive ye," cried Clodah "forgive
ye! Oh, Terry, I'd rather ride with yon
and fifty pigs than with Jim Hagan
and a coach and four!"
- Russia's Great Library.
One of the proudest monuments to
the memory of that benevolent despot,
Peter the Great, Is the Imperial li
brary of Russia, established by him in
1714. Present ranking places It third
among the world's great Hbrarles, pre
ceded only by the National library at
Paris and that of the British museum
at London. It contains a million and a
half volumes and 26,000 manuscripts.
The most Important accession it ever
received was probably at the time of
the suppression of the Society of Jesus
in Russia, when most of 'the Jesuit
collections were -transferred to the im
perial library. Among them was the
famous collection of Count Zaiuskl,
consisting of 260,000 volumes and 10,
000 manuscripts, which had been in
stalled at the Jesuit college in Warsaw.
The most Important manuscript in the
library is the "Codex Sinaltretrs" of the j
Greek Bible, brought to Russia by Pro-!
fessor Tischendorf In 1859 from the
Convent of St. Catharine on Mount
Sinai. New York Tribune. -
Comparative Color Blindness.

of flowers, fifty of them will see the
colors falsely. If a thousand ; women :
view them, nine hundred and ninety- j
six or seven will perceive the hues cor-

bow, which, mingled In thousands of
combinations, give all the varying hues
of sky and sea, of mountain and val-;
ley, some are never seen by the color
blind or are -felt only as light and

persons are totally color blind, yellow, ;

Rattlesnakes.
Some persons believe that, in addi

fangs, rattlesnakes have the power to
throw off poisonous dust. Some per
sons, it is claimed, are able even to
smell a snake some distance away.

A QUEER PEOPLE IN AFRICA.
Major Powell-Cotton haa found ft
strange people in Africa. They
spend their whoe time on the water
of Lake . Albert Edward. Their
homes are all built pn floating plat
forms anchored. to long poles. The
main floating village consists of
thirty huts, while two others com
prise ten and seven respectively.
Some of these grass huts are built
around a small square platform
about twenty-five fee"; by ten feet.
This forms the common back yard
and practically the world of the chil
dren. Birds of all kinds flamin
goes, pelicans and marabou fly
around regardless of the presence of
man, while groups of women, girls
and children cluster on the edges of
their floating homes. The people
are healthy, well fed and good look
ing and rarely marry outside their
own community, for they say a land
woman would be useless and unhap
py if compelled to live in their lake
villages. .
, . Development In Surgery.
Surgical grafting, still in its in
fancy, has extended with the de
velopment of antiseptic methods
and now includes tissues of all
kinds, parts of organs and even en
tire organs. Professor Garre cites
the successful transplanting of
pieces of skin as large as the palm
of the hand, of the tip of a toe upon
a maimed finger, of a fatty tumor to
replace an amputated breast, of
pieces of veins and arteries and of
kidneys. Bone grafting has become
of great importance. The thyroid
gland of a woman was transplanted
upon the spleen of her four-year-old
idiot child, and the astonishing re
sult was that nine months later the
child was developing mentally and
learning to walk and talk. Muscle,
sinew, nerve and teeth graftings
have failed. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The Assassin Got the Ticket .
A Euseian journal tells the story
of how the murderer of General
Lunnitz, prefect of St. Petersburg,
obtained admission to the semioffi
cial party at which the deed was
committed. After Jhe crime all the
guests were detained and their tick
ets were examined. Theresas one
ticket the rightful holder of which
was not present. It was no other
than that of Premier Stolypin him
self. The murder had been com
mitted under cover of the invitation
ticket of no less a personage than
the prime minister. The premier
had not been able to go, and his
ticket fell into the hands of a mem
ber of the secret police named Na
kolene. He resold it to the revolu
tionists for $16,000.
Wood Pulp Silk.
Natural silk is soon to be entirely
replaced by wood pulp, as madder
and indigo have been supplanted by
artificial products, in the opinion of
the German Association of Chemical
Industry. A new Belgian Bilk, that
of Dr. Thiele, is among the latest
advances. In this a thread of forty
filaments is substituted for that of
eight or nine in natural silk, and the
thread is less tubular, more pliant
and 'of better covering power than
artificial silks with fewer strands.
This process, like some others, is
adapted for making artificial horse
hair. New Orleans Times-Democrat.
"Squeezing" In the Chinese Army.
The pay of a private soldier in
General Ma's army is about seven
Mexican dollars a month. That gen
eral is supposed to have entirely
done away with the "squeezing" of
the soldiers' pay. In order to do so
it was necessary to behead "three or
five" officers. There is some doubt,
though, asserts a recent writer in
the Metropolitan Magazine,, whether
or no this evil is entirely done away
with. One soldier was asked if he
would fight if China got into trouble
with the Russians. "What, risk my
life for $1.50 a month?" he replied.
Homeless Manhattan.
A melancholy fact is that in New
York, relatively to the size of the
population, fewer people own homes
than in any other city of the world.
TheTe dwell on the island of Man
hattan 391,G87 families, only 16,316
of whom hold title to the houses
they occupy. Ninety-four out of ev
ery hundred families pay rent. One
result of these circumstances, as
Bene Bachc points out in Pearson's,
is that the population of the Ameri
can metropolis shifts in a more
kaleidoscopic fashion than any oth
er known.
Wonderful Vision.
Sir. Robert Ball," the famous Brit
ish scientist, is fond of imparting
information to the young. Once he
was showing a little boy how to
study the heavens through a tele
scope. "That star," said Sir Robert,
"goes around the other." Anxious
to please such a great man, the
youngster made this staggering re
ply, "Yes, I saw it," As a matter of
fact, the star to which the scientist
referred takes 900 years to make the
circuit.
