THE DEMAINE DYE.
"Tell," the girl pleaded coaxingly,
With her soft cheek against his.
"Ask rue anything but that and I
will grant it," answered her lover.
J'That is a matter "which concerns my
conor, and so not even for yon can X"
"Oh," she interrupted pettishly. "I
am sick of hearing that cant about ynnr
honor. Yon only promised your father,
and I am snre if he had known me he
would have told me, but yon yon are
as hard as adamant. Yen can't care for
me properly, or yon would do what I
ask yon the very first thing I have
ever asked yen," sho ended pettishly.
Alan Demaine smiled at the pretty
exhibition of childish wrath. Then he
said gravely, yet firmly t
"It is no use, Elsie. Yon are cansing i
"both yourself and me needless pain by
constantly teasing me on this matter.
Once and for all I cannot tell yon, so
now let us talk of something pleasant.
What is the last new sown like?" he
ended, smiling lovingly down as her. j
The girl looked at him, a curious?
glance, half menace, half malice, then,
veiling her eyes, drooping before his
ardent- glance, she allowed herself to be
coaxed, flattered and petted into a seem
ingly forgetful mood.
I wonder why the little witch is so
eager to know the secret a trade secret
too?" thought Demaine to hirnsalf that i
night vs he smoked a quiet cigar. "A
childish whim, I suppose, cr woman's
curiosity."
And. to thinking, he dismissed the
subject frrai his mind.
But he would not have dismissed it
quite so easily if lie could have looked
into a distant chamber in another part
of the house and seen a little fury ex
citedly pacing the Sccr and murmuring
to herself:
"I will get to know is yet, whether
by fair means cr foal it matters little,
but 1 will net it. and then"
"I must be off to the works at once, "
Alan said next morning to his mother
and sisters. "Tell Elsie, when she
comes down, tnat l am awinliy sorry .
not to be able to take her for a drive, as J
we arranged yesterday, but something i
unexpected has turaed up, and J am com- '
pelled to attend to it. No eye like the
master's eh, mother? he finished !
laughingly.
ilrs. Demaine looked fondly at her
son-
"You are just like yonr father, " she
said proudly. "It was aye duty before
pleasure with bita. t6 I'll tell the
lassie, Alan, and maybe you'll be
home by dinner time."
"I can't say, mother," lie answered
cheerily; ''only wait for me. "
And then they heard the hell door
close and knew he was off. The day
were away. Elsie declined Enid Du
maine's offer to drive her in place of
Alan and went off for a long walk by j
herself. Enid and Cicely looked curi- j
ously after her as she walked down the j
drive, and then Cicely said half dream-
ily: j
"I do think there is something odd ,
about Elsie. I wish Alan had not fallen
in lovo with her. Do you know, " low
ering her voice to an awestricken whis
per, "I'm afraid she is not trust
worth v. "
When Alan came home that evening,
he seemed in uproariously geed spirits.
He laughed and chatted and joked and
teased until his mother declared that
he was "fey. " After dinner he invited
Elsie out on to the terrace, to "see the
moonlight," he declared mendaciously.
Very fair aud sweet the girl looked
in her pretty white gown of some shim
mering material, and so her lover evi- ;
dently thought, for he suddenly caught
her to his breast and rained passionate (
kisses on her brow and lips. Then, just j
as suddenly, he thrust her from hrm '
and stood facing her in the moonlight.
The girl was half frightened at his man- '
ner.
"What is the
matter, Alan?" she
asked timidly. j
"Nothing, my pet, " he replied in his
old manner; "only you looked so be- j
witching I think I lost my senses." I
"I think yoa did," she retorted co-
quettishlv. "Alan." she continued 1
earnestly, "do you really and truly love
me'
He looked at her curiously, then,
recollecting himself, replied: r
"What a foolish question to ask!
How many hundreds of times have I
told you the old, old story?" i
"But, " she persisted, raising her face
to his, I never, never can believe it
until ycu teil me that secret."
His face darkened at her words,
"Did I not tell you last night that
your persistency was worse than use
less?" he retorted, looking coldly down
at her.
"Well, then," she answered passion
ately, "until you do tell me '1 will
never marry you never I"
There was a long silence between
them- Pinallv the man broke it.
"Do you mean what you

he
asked in a low, tense voice.
Cfertainly, ' ' she responded in a hard,
determined tone. Then, changing her
maTTTKT to one of winning sweetness:
"But I know your will tell me. You
could never, never be so cruel as to re
fuse." He turned away and began
the' lawn in an. undecided, wavering !
fashion, . quite unlike his usual firm
step. The girl followed him and laid
one hand on his arm. j
"Tell me," Ehe whispered beseech-j
ingly. Then she raised herself on tiptoe j
and kissed him.
1I cannot resist, "he murmured,' then -
stooped suddenly and whispered some
thing into her ear.
"Is that all?" Ehe asked, in evident
rarpcise. He nodded.

!fcr a. solitary stroll. As "she approached
a little wooded copse about half a mile
fx can the house a young man sauntered
slowly toward her.
"Well, what success this time?" ho
demanded, without troubling to -make
any preiim inary greeting.
"Wait a minute, Hugh," the girl an
swered. "I am quite breathless with
hurrying. That tiresome Enid wanted
to come with me. And I wasn't at all
sure of Ahin not coming too."
The man stood for a minute cr two
in silence, then glanced at his compan
ion impatiently.
"1 hove got it," sho answered quiet
ly, returning his glance.
His whole face changed and glowed
with triumph.
"You little darling, ycu clever little
darling," he exclaimed, and then took
her in his arms and kissed her passion
ately. She lay quite passive in his em
brace, her dark eyes gleaming with ten
derest love.
"Now we can marry," he whispered.
"But you have not told me yet, Elsie.
Are you sure vou have got the exact
details?"
"It is all written here, word for
word, as Alan repeated it to me," she
replied.
He read the paper greedily which she
handed to him, then placed it in his
pocketbook and drew a deep breath of
relief.
"So that is all the secret of -Demaine
s wonderful purple dye," he
said. "Well, I rather think now that
the monopoly is destroyed. Won't tho
old fashioned firm be astonished when
they find themselves undersold in the
market by a dye exactly like their own. ' '
And he laughed n. cruel laugh of tri
umph. "I always hated Demaine," he
continued, "always. This will he splen
did revenge, besides making all cur far
tunes. Bat come, Elsie, " he added, "it
is time we were moving. I'll see you to
the park gates, and then I must get
back to town."
A month passed away, and Elsie was
Etiil visiting the Demaines, still out
wardly engaged to Alan, of whom nev
ertheless she saw very little.
'Hugh, ' Elsie said to her lover one
evening, "don't you think" and then
Ehe stopped in cocfusiGn.
"Thiakwhat?" said Hugh idly, with
out looking at her.
"That it is not very nice cr pleasant
fcr rae to be staying in Alan's home,
when I have betrayed him?" she ended
bravely.
"I don't see what else yoa can do,"
retorted Hugh lazily, "unless yon go
back to yoer aunt's. '
The girl crimsoned to her brow.
"Couldn't we be married now?" she
whispered in shamed tones.
He looked at her sharply, then replied:
"Look here, Elsie, it is best to be
straightforward, so we may as well end
this fares at once. I am engaged to my
cousin Marian, and we are to bo mar
ried next month. "
There was a long silence. Up in the
bright blue heavens a bird was caroling
merrily, and in a strange, mechanical
manner Efeie counted five daisies which
were in a cluster at her feet. Then she
spoke:
"So too just used mo as a tool,
Hugh?"
"Yes," he acquiesced shamefacedly
She laughed a strange, hard laugh.
"It does not hart very much after all
not very much," she repeated pite
ousiy, and then without another word
turned and left him.
When Alan Demaine reached home
that uif?hf, his mother and sisters met
him with the news that Elsie had been
suddenly summoned to meet her aunt
"Though when she got the letter I'm
sure I don't know," added Enid suspi
ciously. H?r brother made no reply, but
went Etraight to his own room, and
there, on the toilet table, lay. a tear
stained note.
"I have been a wicked, deceitful
girL." the letter ran, "and now the
greatest punishment I have to bear is
the knowledge that I have brought ruin
upon you." Then followed an explana
tion concerning her curiosity about the
dye, and the note ended with a plea for
forgiveness.
In reply Alan wrote as follows: "My
forgiveness you have fully and freely,
and I sincerely vcish you every happi
ness in the future. You must not dis
tress yourself about 'ruining me,' as
the 'secret' (?) which I told you con
cerning the purple dye is no secret at
all, but a very ordinary chemical prep
aration well known in the trade. For
give me for deceiving you. I overheard
your conversation with the scamp who
used you as his tool, and I could not re
sist my little piece of revenge. The De
maine dye is a secret still, eo you may
cease fretting about that. My mother,
who knows nothing, sends you her love.
In a day or two I shall simply tell her
that the engagement is dissolved."
Three ntocths after the dispatch of
this letter Alan's manager ceased from
troubling, for the new firm failed irre
trievably. "Hang it all!" said Hugh to his con
fidential assistant. "We have got the
correct ingredients, man. It must be in
the mixing that we fail."
And when his speech found its way
to Alan's ears he simply laughed. "It
was Delilah wLo failed," he said to
himself, "not the mixing." And then,
with a new, cl:.d hope springing in his
heart, he joined his sisters and his sis
ters friend Monica in the drawing

A PATEIOT'S WIFE.
One warm morning in the spring of
17S0 Mrs. Slccumb was sitting on. the
broad piazza about her home on a large
plantation in South Carolina. Her hus
band and many of his neighbors were
with Sumter, fighting for the strug
gling colonies, but on this beautiful
morning there were almost no signs of
war to be seen. As yet his plantation
had not been molested, and as Mrs. SIo
cumb glanced at her little child playing
near her cr spoke to her sister, who was
her companion, cr addressed a word to
the servants there was no alarm mani
fest. But in a moment the entire scene
was changed.
"There come some soldiers," said her
sister, pointing toward an officer and 20
troopers who turned out of the highway
and entered the yard.
Mrs. Slocumb made no reply, al
though her face became pale and there
was a tightening of the lips as she
watched the men. Her fears were no
allayed when she became satisfied that
the leader was none other than the hat
ed Colonel Tarieton. That short, thick
set body, dressed in a gorgeous scarlet
uniform, the fiorid face and cruel ex
pression, proclaimed the approaching
officer onlv tco welL But the mistress
gave no sign of fear as she arose to lis
ten to the words of the leader, who
soon drew his horse to a halt before her.
liaising his cap and bowing to his
horse's neckr he said, "Have I the
pleasure of addressing the mistress of
this plantation?"
"It is my husband's."
"And is he here?"
"He is nor."
"He is no rebel, is her
"No, rir. He is a soldier in the army
of his country and fighting her invad
ers." "He must be a rebel and no friend of
his country if he fichts against his
king."
"Only slaves have masters here," re
plied the undaunted woman.
Tarleton's face flushed, but he made
no reply, and, turning to one of his
companions, gave orders for a camp to
be made in the orchard near by. Soon
the 1,100 men in his command had
pitched their tents, and the peaceful
plantation took on the garb of war.
Returning to the piazza and again
bowing low the British colonel said:
"Necessity compels his majesty's troops
to occupy your place for a time, and I
will have to make my quarters in your
house; that is, if it will not be too
great an inconvenience to you."
"My family consists at present of
only myself, my child and sister, be
sides the servants, and we must obey
your orders."
In less than an hour the entire place
was transformed. The white tents cov
ered the lawn, horses were tied to the
high rail fences soldiers in bright uni
forms were moving here and there. Be
fore entering the house tbe British colo
nel called some of his officers and gave
sharp orders for scouring tbe country
within the neighborhood of 10 or 15
miles.
This sharp command was not lost up
on Mrs. Slccumb, nor was she slow to
act upon it herself, as we soon sball see.
But for the present, trying to stifl.3 her
fears, Ehe determined to make the best
of tbe situation and avert all the danger
possible by providing for the comfort
of Tarieton and his men, and according
ly she had a dinner soon ready fit for a
king, and surely far too good fcr such
a cruel and bloodthirsty man as Tarie
ton soon was known to be.
When the colonel and his staff were
summoned to the dining room, they sat
down to a table which fairly groaned
beneath the good things heaped upon
it. It was such a dinner as only the
South Carolina matrons knew how to
prepare, and the men soon became jo
vial under its influences. "We shall have
few sober men by morning." said a cap
tain, "if this is the way we are to be
treated. I suppose when this little war
is over all this country will be divided
among the soldiers. Eh, colonel?"
"Undoubtedly the officers will occu
py large parti cms of the country," re
plied Tarletcn.
"Yes, I know just how much they
trill each occupy," said Mrs. Slccumb,
unable to maintain silf-tce longer.
"And how much will that be, mad
am?" inquired Tarieton, bowing low.
"Six feet two."
The. colonel's face again flushed with
anger as he replied, "Excuse me, but I
shall endeavor to have this very planta
tion made over to me as a ducal seat."
"I have a husband, whom you seem
to forget, and I can assure you he is not
the man to allow even the king himself
to have a quiet seat on his ground."
But the conversation suddenly was
interrupted by the sounds of firing.
"Some straggling scout running
away," said one of the men, not quite
willing to leave the table.
"20, sir. There are rifles there, and a
good raany of them, too," aaid Tarjctcn,
rising quickly and rushing to the piazza,
art example which, all, including Mrs.
Slccumb, at ence fell owed. She was
trembling now, for she felt assured that
sfce could exnlain the cause of the ccm-
soticn.
"May I ask, madam, " said Tarieton,
framing to her as scon as he had given
his orders for the action of the troops,
"whether any of Washington's forces
are in this neighborhood or not?"
"You must know that General Green
and the marquis -are in South Carolina,
aad I have no doubt you would be
pleased to see Lee once more. He shook
your, hand very warmly the last tinie he
met you, J am told."
An oath escaped the angry colonel's
lips, and he glanced far a moment at
the scar which the wmmd Lee had made
fry left on his hand, but he turned
abruptly and ordered the troops to farm
cn the right, and he dashed down the
lawn.
A shout and the sound of firearms
drew the attention of Mrs. Slccumb to
the long avenue that led to the house.
A cry escaped her at tbe sight, far
there was her husband, followed by two
cf her neighbors, pursuing on horseback
a band of five Tories whom Tarletcn
had sent to scour the country.
On and cn they came, and it was evi
dent that the pursuers were tco busy to
have noticed the army of Tarieton.
Broadswords and various kinds of wea
pons were flashing in the air, and it
was plain that the enraged Slocumb saw
nothing but the Tories he was pursuing.
Could nothing be done? Would they run
into the very heart of the camp? Mrs.
Slocumb tried to scream and warn her
husband, but not a scuntl could she
make. One cf the Tories had just fallen,
when Ehe saw her husband's horse sud
. denly step and swerve to one side. What
was the cause?
Sambo, the slave whom Mrs. Slo
cumb had dispatched, as scon as Tarle
tcn had come, to warn her husband,
had started promptly cn his errand, but
the bright coats of the British had so
charmed him tbat he had lingered about
the place, and when the sound of the
guns was heard Sambo had gone only
as far as the hedgerow that lined the
avenue. Discretion became the better
part of valor then, and the negro in his
fear had crawled beneath it far shelter,
but when his frightened face beheld his
master approaching he had mustered
courage enough to crawl forth from his
hiding place and startle the horses as
they passed.
"Hoi cn, massa! Hoi on!" he shout
ed. Becognizing the voice, Slccumb and
his followers far the first time stopped
and glanced about them. Off to their
I left were 1,000 men within pistol shot.
! As they wheeled their horses they, saw
a body of horsemen leaping the hedge
and already in their rear. Quickly
wheeling again they started directly for
the house, near which the guard had
I been stationed. On they swept, and,
, leaping the fence of lath about the gar
' den patch amid a shower of bullets they
scarred through the open lots. Another
shower of bullets fell about them a3
their horses leaped the bread brook, or
j canal, as it was called, and then almost
' before the guard had cleared the fences
they had gained tbe shelter of the
woods beyond and were safe.
The chagrin cf the British Tarieton
was as great as the relief of Mrs. Slo
cumb, and when cu the following day
the troops moved on the cordial adieu
of the hostess led the colonel to say:
"The British are not robbers, madam.
We shall pay you for all we have
taken."
"I am so rejoiced at what you have
not taken that I shall not complain if I
do not hear from you again," she re
plied. And she neither heard nor complain

Sacred Threads and Cords.
The sacred thread of the Brahmans is
well known. It is a caste distinction
assumed at an early age and never part
ed with. It must be made by a Brah
man and should consist of three strands,
each of a different color, 48 yards in
length, doubled and twisted together
twice, the ends tied in knots. It must
be worn next the skin, over the left
shoulder, hanging down to the thigh on
the right side. The three castes of the
Hindoos are distinguished by the materi
al of these threads cotton for the Brah
mans, hemp lor the warriors and wool
far the artisans. The Parse es also wear
the sacred thread, and boys of 7 cr 9
are invested with it, the threads used
being made always of fibers of the sum
tree. Monier Williams describes the sa
cred girdle of the Parsees as made, of
72 woolen threads, forming a flat band,
which is twined three times around the
body and tied in two peculiar knots,
the secret of which is known only to
the Parsees.
The use of "medicine cords" is com
mon among -North American Indians.
Mr. Bourke describes these warn by the
Apaches. These consist of one, two,
three and four strands, to which are at
tached shells, feathers, beads, rock crys
tal, sacred green stones and other arti
cles, doubtless employed symbolically.

Cases of theft are almost unknown to
them, and a murder does not happen in
a generation. There is only one police
man cn the island, who spends six
months cf the year in the north and the
rest of the time in Reykjavik, where the

islanders, this prison is a magnificent
building, in that it is built of stone, and
they think it is a direct invitation to
wrongdoing, as an inmate of the prison
lives in a nice room, enjoys the privi

The Bev. H. S. Haweis expresses this
uncomplimentary opinion of the late
Boscoe Conkling in his book cf travels,
lately published: "At Bigelow House
in 2iew York I dined with Conkling,
the crack lawyer, talker and, I should
say, characteristic windbag of the peri
od. Conkling seemed tome an
insufferably vulgar, loud, clever person
utterly conceited and self centered.
c Conkling talked through yoa

quoted poetry whether yoa wanted to
hear It or not and answered his own
riddles and asked questions which he
never meant ycu to answer, being of
the nature cf Cicero's rhetorical inquir
ies in the VerrineandCataline orations.
I can recollect nothing that Conkling
said only the abiding flavor cf his ar
rogance and conceit."
