BY GWENDOLEN OakAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAO i‘b‘h‘Wl-WWH-dfl‘wrlcl It is all a mistake to suppose that good judgment and a level head are the out- come of experience. They are born, not acquired. The man of the world who has tried all things and held fast that which Is bad may go all to pieces over some Henrietta through whose wiles the green boy from the country district wou‘id see In an instant. The capitalist and the bank president fall victims to quite as many bunko games as the farmer and the cowboy. And the same lack of rule holds good in the world of women. The blushing maiden from a French convent may be quite as able to take care of her- lelf as the young woman who has ab- Iorbcd modern fiction, seen men and manners of many sorts and been given her own head in all things. It is a mat- ter of common 591130 and intuition, and it Ill depends upon the girl. But Miss Porter's father did not see that. He had theories to'the contrary, and he believed in letting a girl from her earliest infancy see all she wanted of the World, that, having attained to maturity, lhe might be able to judge accurately for herself. It was a comfortable theory, moreover, and saved Judge Porter trou- ble. There were thoseâ€"certain neighbors and friends of little Miss Porter’s de- ceased motherâ€"who would not admit that it was a theory at all. They said that Porter neglected his only child and let her run wild. At the age of 5 little Miss Porter was I gourmet, smoked her cigarettes with an air and swore fluently. age of 20 she was as innocent, if not as ignorant, as the aforesaid convent maiden is popularly supposed to be. It was at this period that she met Calverley. He was English and hand- some and agreeable. One of her not enâ€" tirely unobjectionuble girl presented him, and after the custom of America, and more especially of the west, nothing further was necessary. If Miss Porter thought about it at all, she thought it would have been the height of folly and inhospitnlity to have asked further questions. She had to manage all those little matters alone. Judge Porter believed that she was equal to It by reason of his training, and, besides, he had other things to attend to. But by and by one of the aforesaid friends of her mother decided, after much prayer and fasting, that it was her ob- vious duty to warn Miss Porter, since there was no one else to do it. She trembled at the necessity. Once, in the days of Miss Porter's tender infancy, some other good advice had been met with a storm of bad language. at the more memory of which the good lady had shuddcred and shrivcled ever Since. But that had been long years bcfore. Miss Porter‘s language was moderate now, not only moderate, but slightly British, as appeared when she received her mother‘s friend and led her to a cozy corner and proceeded to brew tea. The 5 o'clock ten habit had never been very strong with Miss Portcr. Doubtless It was another result of the influence of CalVerley, who was just then in the libra- ry across the hall smoking and reading and making himself entirely at home. “I saw you at the theater the other night." began the elder woman. “Yes.” said Miss Porter. “\Vho was the man you were with?" It was the scandal of Miss Porter’s set â€"-which was a good one in spite of allâ€" that she did without chaperons upon most occasions. “I dare say it was Mr. Calverlcy." said Miss I'orter. She knew it was. and so did the other. “Cnlverlcy? Do I know him? Is the rest of his name?" Miss l‘orter tried not to look proud as she spoke the souurous syllables and em- phasized the hyphen. "It was Giles Hartpnlc Clayton-Cnirerley." she said. “Oh!” said her mother's friend. “And where is he from?" He was from England, from London. “Oh!” she said again. “And who is he?’ Miss Porter informed her that he was Well connectedâ€"splendidly connected. She OVERTON. ( “'hat But at that friends had - ‘ painted house some distance away. "That was a little vague. but that was because ‘ she could not keep all the names at her , tongue's end. How had she met him? It was becom~ Ing decidedly cross questioning, and Miss Porter raisedher brows. There was the same look in the baby blue eyes beneath them that had preceded the evil language years ago. But she was quite deadly civil now. “I met him through a friend. “'ere you at the dance last night?" she lsked. "I'll tell you about that later. .bout Mr. Calverley first, dear.

She mrntionn-«l her own judgment and knowlcdze of the world, and her mother‘s friend withdrew, baffled, yet doubting. As she went she ('filin'llt sight of Ca]- verley in a big leathern chnir before the fire, smoking his brier pipe, and that night she told her husband about it. “What can John Porter be thinking of?" she demanded. “His own troubles perhaps," he sug- gested.

"Some one ought to put a stop to it." “Don’t you be the some one. then. Let her work out her ownâ€"salvation. If she is in love with him, she'll do as she likes; if she isn't, it won't matter." There was presently no doubt about her being in love with him. She was frank in most things. was Miss I’orâ€" tcr. There was but one matter in which she could bring herself to dissemble, and only then because (‘nlvcrley impressed the great ulccssity for it upon her. He explained that though he loved her to madness and must marry her, there were. sometimes reasons which Americans could not understand why it was best for Englishmen who were friends of the prince, and so very well connected as he was, to keep their marriages secret for a time. The girl from the French convent might have seen through that. But Miss Por- ter belieVed it. Anyway, the notion of an elopcmcnt rather appealed to her Cali fornian love of the picturesqucd Upon, the day set she went over across the bay 4 with a light heart and made her way to the sequestered spot where he was to, meet her and take her to the church. He l was not there. She waited, but he didl not come. i At sunset she recrossed the‘ bay alone, a ‘ sadder but not yet a wiser girl. Such were her judgment and knowledge of the world that she thought Calvvrley must have met with sonic horrible accident. l A note which she found‘ at the house' explained otherwise. It was all about‘ circumstances over which he had no con- ' trol and suddcn financial reverses and how he should always love her and cher- ish her memory. Miss Porter believed it, and her heart was brokenâ€"really broken. She even went so far as to be desperately ill for six weeks, at the end of which time she came forth again, pale, subdu‘cd and wilted, but with uh; shaken faith in Calverley. l The faith remained unshaken throughl long months of silence, a silence so pro- found that she thought it must be of the grave, and decided that he had probably killed himself. But one day that hap- pened which filled her constant heart with hope once more. “I say,” a man said to her casually, “I saw your friend, Clayton-Calverley, down south the other day." i Miss Porter turned white, after the most approved fashion of the shilling, shocker, and clutched at her throat. The l man very naturally wondered what.the‘ into anyway and explained in answer to her hoarse enâ€"i treaty that he had been in Randsburg on business and had seen the Britisher inl the street. Miss Porter asked if he lived there. “Give it up. I didn‘t speak to him, and he didn't see me. Only he doesn’t gn‘ by the name of Cluyton-Cnlvnley down there. They call him Myers." ' There was the suspicion of a twitch about the corners of his mouth, but Miss Porter could not see that it was funny. She could readily understand why he ' had chosen to hide his identity. A name like Clnyton-Calverley would naturally be unwieldly in a rough mining town. Now she was a young woman who had always doneI exactly as she pleased with- out asking any‘one‘s lcavcâ€"frequcntly for the excellent reason that there was no one about of whom to nsk it'. Such was at present the case. Judge Porter wns‘ away, to be gone indefinitely. So she packed her own bag and bought her u. ticket and took that night‘s express for,' the south. and in due time the stage set her down in the town of Itnndsburg, where her appenmumâ€"although she was gowned with what had seemed shabby simplicity in San l“l':\flt‘lsCOâ€"CitllSt-‘tl cons siderabic excitement and some little lev- ‘ ity.

It began to be borne in upon her that she had done a decidedly bold thing even for her, and the way out of it was not altogether apparent. But, then, Cal- verlcy would show hcr that, and at 6" o’clock she went in search of him. It was very much of a shack indeed, his place of abode. Her soul yearned toward him that she should have lived in .swcet English voice. luxury all these months, the while his fortunes had been so low us this.

The other day he had gone out tn make a call with his mnmma upon an old friend. “Now. dcur," said munimn as they stood on the doorstep, “rcmember that you are not to ask for anything.” “Yes, momma," answered the small boy. “I have been busy almost all the morn- ing making crullcrs," said the friend as she entered the room and greeted them. A beatiiic expression spread over the small boy‘s face. “I like to hear you talk about crullérs." he said, with a smile of more than child- like innocence. “\Vhy. are you fond of them?" asked the manmia’s friend in a pleased tone. “Oh. yes, very," said the small boy, looking, if anything. still more innocent. “I didn’t ask for them, momma,” he cried in a tone of indignant protest as the door closed on the cruller maker, who had gone to bring in a sample.- New York Times. An Ingetsoll Story. "I will tell you a story about the late Colonel Ingersoll which I never saw in print.” said a lawyer who knew the great agnostic well. ‘ “ii'hcn‘he was an attorney in Peoria, 1113., a young wife called to see him about filing a suit for divorce. Ingersoll questioned her closely and after she had detailed a number of grievances he told her that none was snflicient. She was much perturbed in consequence and final- ly appealed to him to know on what grounds she could procure her bill. The colonel took a lawbook from his collection and pretended to examine it. After this he turned to her and said: ‘Mudam, I . find nothing in this book to fit the situa- tion. But if you can establish the fact that he is addicted to the unmasculine . habit of eating ice cream soda I know 9 . judge who will give you a decree.’ “That. in Ingersoll’s opinion. In a man. ‘ was inexcusable.” Keeping “in Finger] Supple. How any great piunoforte playcr keeps his hands supple has often been a matter for wonder, but M. I‘adt-rewski, the king of pianists, revealed the whole secret. “The night before I play I turn my hands over to my valet, and he rubs my fingers until they tingle,” declared M. I‘nderew- ski. “Then he takes one finger after the . other and turns and twists it in the palm i of his hand, always turning theoné way. That mnch the fingers supple and keeps the knuckles in good working order. Last he rubs the palm of each hand very hard â€"as hard as I can stand it. Just before I go on the platform to play I have a basin of hot water brought to my dressing ‘ room. In this I immerse my hands. Hot! i I should say so: just about as hot as it is possible for a man to stand it." So this is the way it is done.
