Barbara shiv­ered a good deal at first. The air lacked that clear, invigorating quality that bad hitherto made riding a de­light. There was a raw wind rising that penetrated her heavy habft? ,

" i e won't go far today, 'j'onjka," she said, with chattering jteetb-^'jost the five miles out to the irrigating gate and back again."

The murky ring about the sun grew " thicker and thicker until the sun was a mere pale yellow dinner plate resting on a gray blanket The wlnd.began to

She looked up into the sky, but dur­ing her short moment of uncertainty the sun had become totally obscured, and as she looked fine, driving parti­cles of snow pelted her face.

Barbara's pallor disappeared. "It, wasn't such a bad storm in same ways," she said.

And tiie fire crackledftppreetottvely at the pretty tableau.

• a i r «r ma_s>«. John had the name' of being ?the

Joiliest man in town. But tonight which was apparently the worst night In the year, even John wore a long face, and as he swung his cab door open for the minister to enter John's doleful expression was so noticeable that the minister Inquired }{ he were thinking about the work of cleaning off the mud in the morning.

"No, it te not the work that I'm think­ing of. If I could make as much as you this evening I wouldn't mind ft a bit"

"WeH," replied the minister, "I am to marry a couple this evening, and I'll give-you half of my fee for driv­ing me out andback.*'

"It is a deal," replied John, After an hour of dreary driving

through cold and rain John drew up in front, of a small house in which the .service was to take place. It was two long hours of cold waiting before the minister re-entered the cab, and the home drive was made. With a spirit of expectancy John once more swung open the cab door in front of the min­ister's house. The minister stepped out and as he entered his own door he turned and said: *

"Five hundred thanks, John," leav­ing the bewildered cabman to figure out what hie exact fee had been.—San Francisco C&ronlcle.

With the aid of the whip she finally -persuaded Tonka to turn, and they started off in the teeth of the wind. The drive of the snow was so heavy that Barbara could not see a horse's length In front of her. The cold was so intense that she felt as If her face were being seared, and she began to be frightened.

"It must be a bllssard," she thought "Richard will be frantic."

For half an hour Tonka struggled through the blinding storm, while'the frightened girl on her back clung to the reins with numbing hands and urged her on. As the cold grew un­bearable Barbara pulled the pony In and dismounted. - • • • " - . „

"I've got to walk," she thought "or freeze, to me saddle."

With the reins on her arm, she plunged on, her heart sinking more and more. "We are lost TonkA?' she said, "lost in one of those terrible bito-sards!" She'stopped to breathe and to pound her aching hands against the pony's side.

Suddenly Tonka lifted her bead with a sbrifi whinny, which was answered from out the storm by sanother whinny. Barbara looked about eagerly. "Is it only a stray, pony," she thought, "or is acme one looking for me?'

Out of the whirlwind of snow came the shadowy form of a man, like Bar­bara, leading his horse. Barbara's heart gave a great throb.

"Mr. Ingraham!" she gasped. "Great heavens, Miss Barbara, what

does this mean?" exclaimed the man, taming his back to the gale and shout­ing to be heard above i t

"I'm lost!" called Barbara. "This is awful," answered the man,

his face tense. ^ "You poor child! Why on earth did your brother let you out on such a day? I—I shall call him to account for tills. And I am of no use! This Is my first experience with an American bllaanL I, too, am lostr

Statins in his ac­count of the old Saturnalia ceremonies mentions "vegetable honey" as being used and winds up his account by say­ing that ""tills same honey is boiled from Elosian reeds." Dloscorides, the Greek physician who ^flourished In the first or second century of the Christian era and whose great work, "De Mate­ria Medica," treats of all the then known medicinal substances and their properties, says that "the name of sug­ar has been given to the honey which is produced by reeds without bees," and Strabo, writing concerning It, says, "They (the people of Arabia Felix) make honey without bees from reeds, and it sometimes resembles salt"

Several years ago the captain of a sailing, ve3^eli desirons^* seeing the famous whirlpool at close quarters, was assured by his Norwegian pilot that he might venture near enQugh for examination without danger.. And here is what the" captain saw:
