- THE,S According to 6. Washington Billy Unburdened His Guilty Gonsclence By LILLIE WENTZ Tomorrew s 4 holiday, Aunt Molly, began Billy, perching himself on the arms of her chair. 4 Isn't that jolly? returned pretty Miss Gale ag she tousted hig curly Bair. Washington's birthday, eh? What are you going to do, dear? Phat s for you to say, replied Billy, gtinning. Will you come over to the Inke and skate with me, Aunt Molly? . Ob, dear cried Molly regretfully, and then Billy knew that Ned Hildred had asserted bis rights as Molly's fiance and that if Miss Gale went to Silver lake it would be to skate with the handsome Ned and not with her nine-year-old nephew. - I'm go sorry, Billy, faltered Molly at last.. You can come with us. - Billy shook his hesd and slipped down from the chair. Two's company and three s none, he quoted glumly as he went away. Poor little Billy smiled* Molly as she gazed after him with lovely, misty eyes. Phe tears soon cleared away, but the smile remained, for Molly was watebing for Ned Hildred. He was going to take her out along the boule- yard for a spin in his new car. The absence of snow and the crisp, dry cold of the season would make the driving ideal. Molly skipped away to the mirror and tried on the n w fur motor bon- net that enhanced her delicate loveli- ness, Her face blusbed rosily as her own eyes admitted her fairness. Silly she chided herself, tossing the bonnet aside. An hour passed Dy and then another. Ned Hildred did not come.

His cheeks were rosy with the cold, crisp air of a winter day. - What book have you got, dear? asked Molly.

Oh, I shall not go now, returned Molly hastily, and as her mother with- drew a hurt look caine into Molly Gale s face. - lt; Something serlous must have hap- pened to prevent Ned from communt- eating with her. Te was always punc- tilious about such matters. Suddenly Billy's voice -piped boldly out of the darkness. I saw Ned Hildred this afternoon. Yon did?* replied Molly quickly an then tearelestly, Where did you see him, dear? Z . He was in bis new car. He had o girl with him. . here was malice i gt; Billy's tone.

You are very observing for toy, said Ant Molly quietly. Billy stirred uneasily. It wasn't his ister Josephine, either. He was going uit a great clip up the avenue. Did he sce you, Billy, dear?

If she shed tears over Ned Hil- ared s no one knew ft, for she was as sweetly serene as ever when the dinner. bel rang. Of course you are going to the ball, Molly, observed Mrs, Moore as her sidter sat down at table. L wouldn't miss it for anything Certuin- ly not. with tbat dream of e gown waiting for me. That peach colored satin s the pret- tiest gown you ever had, Molly, put in Mr. Moore Molly flashed a smile at ber brotber- in-law. Thank you, James. I'can return the compliment by saying that the mulberry velvet is most becoming to you. There was some gay chatter over the costumes for the Bigleys colonial ball that evening. Molly s peach satin was to be a surprise for Ned Hildred. Zohnson says Hildred is to wear white satin as the happy bridegroom, teased Mr. Moore hey arose from the table. Nonsense laughed Molly, blushing, Billy, sleepy and, solemn even, sw ly endured Molly's good night kiss when she came to his bed in all the glory of the peach colored satin. He open disapproval of the high: pile masses of her hair and the andacious black patch on her round chin. Good night, lover boy whispered Molly. But Billy turned a hot pink cheek away from her caress. Will you go skating with me tomorrow? she asked. : Alone? be questioned. Alone with me, said Molly+-and she did not know her tone quavered. All right, growled Billy and kissed her sheepishly. You look fine, he added. 2 Molly: quite forgot Billy and his Jeal- ous heart by the time she reached the Bigleys . But when Ned Hildred hurried up to her, incomparably handsome in white velvet and silver embroidery, Molly s eolor deepened and all softness van- ished from her eyes. You bayen't saved one for me? asked, his face quite white. 5 So sorry, murmured Molly as she glided away with her partner for the first waltz. Ned Hildred stared dumbly after lovely Molly. The exquisite strains of the waltz wrung his heart. Presently he went home. After that Molly's gayety was entirely fictitious.

Se They bad skated to a secluded part of the lake, where Molly sat down or a fallen log to r st. Pil go and buy some sandwiches, Aunt Molly, said Billy, turning away. Very well, dear. Don t be jong. Billy raced back among the skaters. His bright eyes sought out Hildred s tall form. ms - Oh, Mr. Hildred, please come to Aunt Molly right away; it s awful im portant, quavered Billy, grasping the man s hand. Hildred's one thought was that Motly had fallen threugh the ice. He uttered a strangled cry of alarm and darte eff, dragging the frightened Billy, by one hand. he Breathlessly they dashed up to the spot where Molly sat pensively upor her log. She started vietently as they Birouetted to a standstill. Why. what is it? she stammered indignantly. TI beg your pardon, murmured Hildred with a furlous glance at the wretched Billy. He tifted his cap and wheeled about. Wait a minute, please cried the small boy. I've got something to say, and you both got to b here and lis- fen en Billy Moore, what is it? demand- ed Molly, and then, seeing the quiv- -ering lips of the little man, she realized that be was bracing himself for some dificult performance, She put her arms around him, and he seemed glad of their support. What is it, dear? she asked. Billy -told bis story in .a shaking yoice how he bad hated Mr. Hildred becatwe he came between Billy and his adored Aunt Molly. Then the day before, when he had met Mr. Hildred In his car, he had lied to Aunt Molly. He had not told her that Mr. Hildred had stopped the car and bade bim tuke a message te Molly; that the fair pas- senger in the car was Hildred s sister in-law, Mrs. Reed, who had been call- - ed to the deathbed of a parent in West- ehester and that Hildred was rushing her there at top speed.

('ape-To-Cairo Railway Is Brioging Terra Incognita To Light. Several factors make a reference , to the Cape to Cairo project parti- cularly appropriate at the moment, says H. J. Shepstone in The London Graphic. There is, first, the enor- mouse advance made during the last few years, and, in the second place, the recent announcement that the Belgian Government has ceded to Bri- tain a atrip of land in the Congo, thus making it possible for the railway te traverse British territory throughout its entire length of 6,944 miles, that being the distance from Cape Town to Cairo, or 7,074 miles if we include the journey to the sea at Alexandria. We get an idea of the rapidity with which the central regions of. Africa are being opered up to commerce and Civilization by means of the railway when it is stated that northward the track has been lald to within a short distance of a, right im the heart of the Congo, though at present passengers can travel only as far as Hlisabethville, also in/ the Congo, some 2,321 miles north of Cape Train expect: ing. have been pushed southward to Kom tt, on the Nile, some 1,370 miles from Cairo, right im the heart of the Som dan, though it may be added that there ig a gap ef 208 miles between Wad: Assuan, where steamers ply regularly. Several short lines now nearing completion will materially assist the engineers in Hnking up this great transcontinerftal railway, notably be: tween Congolo and Kindu, 217 miles in length, now completed, and the shorter line of seventy-seven miles from Ponthierville to Stanleyville; where one erosses the Equator, which should be completed this spri lt;. These lines have been constructed be- cause of the impossibility of usifig the Congo river between these points for transport purpgses on account of the rapids. On the other sections of the river, as well as on the Nile and also upon the Albert Nyanza Lake, steamers are to be placed to run in conjunction. with the railway, which means that we have some 700 miles of rails to lay to establish a through communication. Within two years at the most it should be possible tc tray l all the way from Cape Tow. to Cairo by train and boat. Although the Cape-t6-Cairo Rail way Will now.be British throughout, it must not be forgotten that its ob- jeet is purely commerecial. Si 3 as it does, fromthe east end of the Mediterranean, it will never be able to compete against the direct sea- route from England to the Cape in point of speed. But, like-a gigantic backbone, it will carry the nerves of commercial life along the continent, promote local traffic, and, by means of feeder lines to the oceans on east and west; furnish outlets for the fest r gions the central section.

The site of the mission hospital is now fathcms beneath the sea, while there are two miles of hilly count - where there was previously sea. Dur- ing the eruption tho sea. was boiling and turtles-and fish rose to the sur- tace eooked. Dr. Bowie, the principal missionary on Ambrym Island, says one by onc the mountains hurst into flames, un- til ten voleances were emitting mol- fen lava. There was no panic amone the natives, who numbered 2,50, in the threatened districts, but ever 109 veople perished. , Some natives were drawn into the streams of lava and others were blown away in the boats in which ley had taken refuge and we- gt; drowned or boiled in the sea. Dream Came True. One recorded instance of a dream that came true, which wag authenti- cated by the dreamer relating it at once to a number of persons, was that concerning the assassination of Spen- cer Perceval in 1812. Mr. J. Wil- liams, living at Redruth, in Cornwail, England, on May 3, 1812, eight days before the occurrence, thre times in the same night that he saw Mr. Perceval shot in the lobby of a brown coat. The impression made was so deep that he consulted his brother and other peorle as to the propriety of communicating with Per- ceval, but they dissuaded him. After the event he went up to the Holse of Commons and pointed out the exact spot where Bellingham. stood when he fired. London Daily Chronicle. Why India Imports Buckets. The European element in India makes a specially large use of im- forted buckets and pails. For in- stance, there are very few houses in equipped with forced water supply and pipes and faucets for turning om water (at least above the first floor). This .means that all the water for one s bath must first be poured into, galvanized iron buckets or pails and brought into the bathroom by ser- yants or coolies and then poured into the bathtub. Spoiled By the Cook. Cardinal Manning, the famous English churchman, was gaunt of face. The great ecclesiastic s appear- ance was so ascetic that he seemed to have. been. almost Once tn Liverpool he visited a convent, and the cook knelt to him for a blessing, which she got.
