< Oneof Fate's fancies '
(Original.]
To oue contemplating the strange oc
currences flesh Is heir to It would seem
that there ts a real personal fate that
Is constantly amusing himself with our
destinies. For Instance, at the end of
the eighteenth century It showed a lit
tle Corsican tho crown of France kick
ed about by a mob In Paris. lie picked
It up, put It ou his head and then pro
ceeded to make kings and queens of
his family. Per contra, fate designated
the monarch who lost the crown tho
Corsican appropriated to be the one of
a Ions Hue of sovereigns to lose It and
his head at the same lime. Uc wns the
only one of the lot who In many years
deserved to wear It.
In the case recited In this story It
would seem that this Inexorable fate
took u cunnlug and malicious pleasure.
A party of American sightseers
abroad were "doing" the gardens of
Versailles. A middle aged couple stroll
ed away from the others and sat them
selves down to rest.
"At twenty," said the man, "I tald
out a definite plan for my life which
I have followed to the present moment.
Having tastes which I had no means
to gratify, I resolved to spend twenty
years In accumulating a fortune where
with to spend another twenty years In
an Ideal life. Before leaving America
a month ago I closed out my business,
having accumulated the requisite
amount. The first twenty years of my
life have been passed as I Intended.
The second period is before me.
"Of that period I have spent but a
month, and yet It Is long enough to
have taught me that to enjoy the world
I must have some one to enjoy it with
me. Iu you 1 have met that person?
the ouly woman I have ever wished to
( make a Hfe companion. It rests with
you whether this secoud period shall
be a success or a failure. Will you
speud It with me as my wife?"
There was a long silence between
them, at the end of which the woman
said:
"Unlike you, 1 laid uo plan for my
life. At eighteen I loved, married and
was for ten years supremely happy
with iny husband and my children.
Then within a few monthf, they were
all swept away by death. I cannot be
happy without them, therefore it
would l>e Impossibly for me to enable
you as your companion to carry out the
second part of your plan."
"Which means that this part has al
ready failed'?"
"If dependent upon nie; not on an
other."
"Had I not fallen In with you I
might possibly have been happy with
another."
The woman was looking on tho
ground, making marks on It with tho
end of her parasol. Presently she
looked up into the man's fuce to see
there a bitter disappointment renting
ou every feature.
"In that case I will do my best for
you. I consent," she said.
There wns a weddlug In the Amer
ican Parisian colony, after which Wal
ter Lanier and his bride spent (to him)
six delightful months lu a land where
there Is every opportunity for a culti
vated man to enjoy himself. The only
shadow falling upou him was that de
spite a brave struggle on the part of
his wife, she occasionally showed that
her heart was with those who had
gone from her. The husband, seeing
that occupation would lie better for
her. proposed that they return to Amer
ica. where she might have the care of
a home, lu reply to this proposition
she told him that whatever he wished
was her preference.
Lanier believed it would be better to
take his wife where she would enjoy
| the companionship of those she- had
always kuo a lie planned a surprise
for her. II. wrote a friend to buy a
house for him In the neighborhood In
which bis wife had l>ecu born and
reared, where her father and mother
and a sister would be near her. It
happened that Just such a place was
in the market, aud It was purchased
for Lanier. It needed no Improve
ments. aud as soon as Lanier was ad
vised that the papers had passed he
and his bride sailed for America.
Ily this time .Mrs. Lanier had been
weaned from a constant dwelling upon
i those she bad lost. She had married
i splcudid man for her second hus
band and every day clung to him more
ind more. Indeed, she seemed to real
ize that a living with the dead Is an
ibnormal condition and resolved to
live for her hnsbaud.
On the day of their arrival at the
place of their Intended future resi
dence the wife expectod to be taken
temporarily to a Jiotel. They were
met at tho station by a carriage and
driven away. She did not know where
and did not feel In a mood to ask.
But presently she noticed that 6he was
on familiar ground. She looked up at
her husband Inquiringly. He put his
arm about her affectionately, but said
uothing. When they reached the lo
cation of her old home Mrs. Lanier
put her bauds on her eyes as If to
shut out memory. Then the carriage
stopped, aud her husband allshted.
He had taken her hand to help her
out, -i n 1 iter foot jvas on the step
when she looked up at the house her
husband ':ad provided for her. With
a cry. she drew back Into the carriage,
exclaiming;
"Take me away! It was my home!"
For a moment he stood appalled,
then re-entered the carriage, closed the
doer and ordered the coachman to
drive anywhere that would take them
from the home he had Intended for
j them.
Now, why did fato tf.ke them to that
particular house?

Misplaced Sympathy.
A sympathetic Frenchman unluckily
bought an almanac that gave the dates
of the world's chief events. From that
dny on he lived u life of mourning.
Thus ou April 30 he hnd crape ou his
hat.
"Have you lost a relative?" a friend
naked. "Not exactly," snld ho. "But
today Is a sad anniversary for the
French people. On April 30, 1524, the J
Chevalier Bayard died." On May 2 ,
he had crape on again. "Still mourn- 1
lug Bnyard?" said the friend. "No,"
said he, "but don't you remember that
on May 2 a great and charming poet,
Alfred de Musset, breathed his last?"
On the 0th of the same month, "Whom
are you mourning for now?" "For an
honest man. General "Caviagnac." On
the 30th, crying terribly, he said: "Ah,
Joan of Arc! On this date, in 1131, a
handful of Englishmen auil n miser
able bishop put the gallant maid to
death." On July 13 he took a bath In
memory of the assassination of Marat.

a fatal shock. On the ISth. having
read of Napoleon's departure to St
Helena, he felt better, but ou the 23d

English, In 1094. confined him again to
his bed. He was taken with a fever
and died ou the 22d, muttering, "In a

Eloquence of tho Welsh.
Here Is n little story of an English
man In Wales: "On the comparative
qualities of the English and Welsh
tongues let mo tell of the Welshman
who saluted me In the Welsh. I was
compelled to confess Ignorance. 'Ah,'
he said, turning fluently enough to
English, '.vou should learn the Welsh!
My wife was English, and she can
speak wuversatlobs now quite well.'
"I acknowledged my shortcomings
and admitted that 1 had always under
stood the Welsh to be a remarkably
eloquent tongue. 'Yes, yes, It Iss so,'
said the native. 'In Welsh a man can
express exactly what he means. As
for the English, I call It not 11 language
at all? only a dialect.
" 'You haf noted that an Englishman
or a foreigner In speaking his language
waves his hands and arms about to
help out the meaning of the words, but
a Welshman who can speak Welsh
well he hass no need to move Ms
bands. In the Welsh be can say all
that he means.' "?Chicago News.
Fifo Wheat.
Years ago, about a century, Davkl
Fife., a Scotchman of Otonabee, Ont.,
sent to a friend In Glasgow for a
small bag of seed wheat to try In a
cleared patch of the backwoods. The
friend obtained some seed from a
vessd Just In from Danzig. Unfortu
nately It was a fall wheat and reached
David Fife In the spring. Neverthe
less Dflvid Fife sowed It In spring.
One can guess how feverishly the
'backwoods farmer watched' for the
growth of his experiment. Only three
wheat heads survived till the fall, but
those three wheat heads were entirely
free of the rust that had ruined his
neighbor's crops, and those three heads
really represented a new variety of
wheat, a fall wheat turned Into a
spring wheat. David Fife treasured
the three heads and planted them In
spring. Such was the beginning of
Fife wheat lu America.? Agnes C. Laut

Lost Charm of the Wayside Inn.
The Inns of England, celebrated by
Harrison and famous far and wide at
the beginning of the last century, have
degenerated Into sad places which we
visit only of necessity. Little did
Stephenson think when he proposed
the Hue from Manchester to Liverpool
that lie would ruin the wayside Inns
of England and kill the art of cookery.
