MA U V THE MAID OF
IX- JL THE INN....
A Story of the R
Age in England.
Dy JOSEPH
CHAPTER I.
. There was no ploasantcr coachlng
hou8o between London and tho far
North, In tho days when tho great
. highlands of England wore lively with
tho romance of travel than tho Star
nnd Garter at Klrkstall.
To this day It challenges admiration
for its picturesque site, ltn handsomo
liny windows, Its ploasant smoking
room, and Its old-fashioned bowling
green, which Is still frequented by lov
ers of a time-honored game.
From tho bright windows of tho old
i Inn ono still looks out upon tho ruins
of tho famous Abbey, and though tho
river AIro Is no longer clear and full
of fish, It flows through green meadows
nnd reflects such local beauties of
landscape as tho noeds of tho busy
town of Leeds havo not yet nnnoxed.
In these days tho river is begrimed
1 with dust, and cloggod with tho refuse
of mills and dye-works. When Mary
Lockwood was tho bello of tho flold and
river thereaboutB, and tho bright par
ticular star of tho bar-parlor of tho
( local inn, it was a mirror in which
- Vonus herself might have been satis
" lied to cast tho reflected imago of her
beauty.
England was a merry England then,
1 in splto of tho severity of her laws, and
tho constant drain which continental
wars niado upon tho manhood of tho
nation. Troops were continually on
tho march. Highwaymen on iloot
chargers dashed along tho roads and
levied toll with a pistol and an epi
gram. Judges of nssizo entered tho
great towns in stato, and loft behind
thom vaguo snatches of tragic stories,
and in tho namo of Justice, an occa
sional grim sign-post as a warning to
evil-doers. On dark nights tho clink
ing chains of tho gibbet made tho
chimney corners seem moro than usu
ally snug, nnd gave an additional splco
of fear to tho story of tho local trage
dy, as tho gossips loved to toll it,
whllo tho wind whlstlod down tho
chimney, and the rain rattled at tho
casomcnt
With all their drawbacks, theso wore
merry days. Men loved the country,
lived country lives, and nto plain but
V wholesome faro. And what Buperb
L women delighted tho oyo. You might,
nevertheless, havo traveled all over
England and never have scon a moro
lovely woman than Mary Lockwood,
who has been immortalized by the poet
Southoy as "Mary, tho Maid of tho
Inn."
' She was tall and straight as a Nor
mandy poplar. Sho walked from tho
hips, as an athleto does. Her figure
had all tho graces of a woman's curv
ing outlines, with suggestions of groat
strength. Her arms woro whlto as if
. they know none of tho labor of house
hold work. Her head rested upon her
shoulders with tho easy poso that sug
gests the head and neck of the raco
horae. Sho was fair, though her hair
was of a rich brown. Her complexion
was healthful rather than ruddy, her
, eyes a deop blue; hex mouth firm, but
with a tendency as if it wero to curl
Into a smilo. She woro a pleasant,
.fearless, innocent expression.
Thero was no self-consciousness In
her manner. S,ho would rather bo com
plimented upon her strength and cour
ages than her beauty. She was flvo and
twonty, and had tho strength of a man
nnd tho courago of an army. Sho had
been brought up to rough it on a farm,
a wild girl of tho meadows, until her
uncle, Joseph Morloy, tho landlord of
tho Star and Garter, losing his wlfo,
took it into his wise old head that
' Mnrv would be a useful clrl in the
house, and would well repay the cost
of keeping her.
Tho girl won upon tho old man, not
only on account of hor usefulness, but
for tho reason that Morloy, bolng nat
urally weak and timorous, admired in
Mary an oxactly opposlto physical and
moral capacity. Sho was to him a pos
session of which ho boasted. Sho could
bent any of his customers at bowls.
There was not n man In tho neighbor
hood who could fling a quoit as deftly.
There was no kind of a horso sho could
not ride. Sho had broken in a dozen or
two of tho colts up at Mnster Taylor's
farm; and Master Taylor had often
V .said It was a good thing for Mary ho
was not a young man, for in his early
days ho had been "a devil among the
women." and boasted of it.
But Mary had no fear .of men. Thero
was not ono of her acquaintances who
i had ever thought of offering her an ln
7 suit, or who would havo dared to do
it; and nouo of them over nndo the
nllghtest Impression on hor heart.
It is true honest Jack Meadows had
hung about her skirts for a matter of
four. years, but ho was looked upon,
both by Mary and hor uncle, only In
tho light of a nolghbor and friend.
Jack had novcr ventured to speak of
lnvo to Mary, but ho had Insinuated
himself Into her good graces by many
acts of consideration nnd thougbtful
ness. Ho was about her own age, nnd well-to-do.
His father had died nnd loft
him a comfortnblo little farm a few
miles beyond tho abbey; tho only In
cumbrance being his mother, whom
Jack found a solaco rather than nn In
eumbrance, for ho was a good son, and
everybody agreed that ho would make
a good husband to tho woman who
would bo fortunate enough to win him.
LJack Meadows was a steady young
yeoman of mild manners, but of a res
olute character. Ho owned his own
fjirm, hunted with lo-:al hounds.
HATTON.
was respected by everybody and cared
for nobody, he would say. But ho nl
ways said this with a montal reserva
tion which Included Mary nnd his
mother, but moro particularly Mary.
He usually dressed In a velvoteon
shooting jacket, and did not mind at
all if somo stranger mistook him for a
gamekeepor; In fact, ho rather liked to
bo mistaken for a gamekeeper; tho
position had for him a splco of ro
mance, nnd, moreover, ho was a crack
shot, a raro fellow across country, and
master of all country Bports. Ho rolled
somewhat In his gait as sailors do, and
spoko in a loud voico, except when he
was addressing Mary Lockwood, and
thon his volco dropped into soft tones
like thoso of a woman,
It was a common remark In Klrkstall
that Jack and Mary would mako as lino
a couplo as over stood boforo an altar.
Mary paid no heed to this kind of ob
servation, and tho fact that Jack had,
under tho Influence of wise instinct,
Bpoken no words of lovo to hor, cn
ablod Mary to havo him as a constant
companion, hawking, fishing, riding,
nutting, or climbing tho walla of Klrk
stall Abboy.
But, at the opening of this history,
Mary had become too valuable in tho
management of tho inn for her undo
to bo nblo to sparo her for moro than
occasional Indulgence In theso holiday
kind of sports nnd rambles.
Sho had settled down to tho work of
tho house, to the management of the
bar; and, although sho had a very lim
ited knowledge of reading nnd writing,
sho kept Joseph Morloy straight with
his customers, and with tho bnnk at
Leeds. Sho was, In short, a trcasuro of
good sense, good conduct, and good
looks, and was both famous and be
loved by all tho travelers along tho
road. Sho was always scrupulously
neat and clean, in cotton or woolen
dresses gathered about tho waist, and
often woro upon her head nothing
moro than a korchlcf, but it was deftly
draped and pinned as a Spanish man
tilla, or an Italian head dress. Her
only corset was tho band about her
waist, and thus having tho frco use of
her limbs, sho walked with a stately
graco that was beaming with health
and vigor.
It was a curious contrast, nnd yet
full of human nature, tho plcturo of
Joseph Morloy thin, wizened, short of
stature In a posturo of admiration
and worship, ns you might have seen
him now and then, drawing attention
to his nieces In somo act of physical
prowess, trying a horse along tho road,
flinging a quoit in tho yard, or deftly
rolling a ball to its goal on tho green
at tho back of tho houso.
"I am an old fellow," ho would Bay,
"but I havo alius paid my way, alius
can, alius mean to, and, when I'm
gone, If Mary don't chooso to marry
and glvo tho Star and Garter a new
landlord, why, sho Is man enough and
woman enough to manage tho houso
herself. And so 1 shall dlo happy when
over my tlmo be como; nnd what can
a man want moro than to sco straight
aforo him up to tho last journey ho
mnkes, and that's to tho church yard.
If man wants any moro below, well, I
haven't heard of it!"
Mary would smilo at the old man,
and pat his thin cheek, and say it was
not for folk to look too far ahead; the
main thing was to do your duty and
trust in God's mercy and cultivate con
tent! CHAPTTIt II.
But when you aro happiest, bewaro!
One pleasant autumn evening two
travelers arrived at the Star and Gar
ter. Ono of them was young and
handsome, the other might havo been
any ago from 35 to 50.
The younger of the two was dark
nnd flery-looklng, but ho had a lino
mouth and a musical voice. His nano
was Richard Parker. Ho was London
born and bred. His hair was black ns
night, and. he woro a slight mustache.
Ho came swinging Into tho outer bar,
with its cups and Jugs, and ale-warmers,
its bright polished floor, Its wide
flreplaco and Its pretty screen, which
cut It off from tho bar-parlor, other
wise tho sanctum of Mary and her
uncle, but moro particularly the sanc
tum of Mary, tho Maid of tho Inn,
whoro sho kept her accounts, presided
over tho cellar, and where sho nnd hor
undo nto thoh meals nnd lived their
Indoor life. Ho came swinging into
tho outer bar this young, dashing,
Corslcan-llko hero, In a light coat or
cloak with a capo (such a3 was worn
by our fathers nt this plcturcsquo pe
riod), corduroy breeches, nn undercoat
with a tall collar, a steoplo-shapcd hat
with a buckle on it, and ho carried n
riding-whip with n lash.
"Houso!" ho exclaimed. "Whoro arc
you all?"
"We urn bore eomo of ub," said
Mary, advancing from tho Inner
bar "who 13 it In such n hurry?"
"A fair good evening' to you!" said
Parker, doffing his lint.
"Tho llko to you," Mary replied. "I
was lighting tho candles nnd hud not
heard you. If you had ridden, your
horses enn hardly havo been shod; I
did not hear them,"
"Wo havo ridden nnd put up our
horses, too, my pretty maid," tho
young fellow replied for men paid
compliments of this kind those days,
and no harm meant.
"And want cupper, and drink, and
bods," said tho young fellow's com
panion In n testy tone, ns If he wished
to put nn end to useless talk or cour
tesy. "What can you glvo ns?"
Mnry eyed tho second traveler with
no great favor, and called the barman,
or groom, or wnlter, or whatever Tom
Sheffield'!) position might bo at the
Star and Garter, and, whatever his of
flco, ho had held it slnco boyhood, and
to the satisfaction of nil parties.
"Suppor, drinks, beds," said Mary,
nddrcsslng Tom, nd indicating the
travolers with n courteous wave of tho
hand.
"Yes, mum," said Tom. "Como this
way, gentlemen; thcro's tho bluo room
and the red, both nt your Borvlce, and
tho balcony room that's double
bedded, if you'd lolko to sco 'em boforo
you sup; your 'osscs Is all right, and I
mck no doubt Star and Garter can
mok you as comfortnblo as 'osscs
good accommodation for man and beast
isn't a sign ns wo put up, but wo docs
it wl'out boasting this way."
They followed Tom without moro
ado, for Mary had quietly retired to hor
Httlo room, and tho younger of tho
travelers, after looking in a dreamy
kind of way at tho spot whoro sho had
boon standing as it oho wero n beauti
ful vision that had vanished, Btrodo
after his companion.
"By Juplterr nnd Vonus, and Diana,
a Juno nnd Hobo In ono!" exclnlraod
Dick Parker to his friend when they,
having settled to sleop In tho doublo
beddod room that looked upon tho
bowling green, wero nlono.
"Oh, she'll pass muster for a country
wench," said tho other, who was
known to his companions ns Andy Fos
ter, Andy bolng short for Andrew,
"sho'll pass muster, and if she's hand
some, sho knows it."
Thoy did not carry much luggage, for
travolors. though thoy had been on tho
road for somp days. They each had a
snddlo-bag (in which wore n fow com
mon necessaries of tho toilet, a map
of tho country nnd a flask), and pistol
holsters, In which wero weapons of
weight; for mon did not travel In
thoso days without being proparod to
dofend their money and their lives.
Except for tho general chcerlness and
well-known respectability of the Star
and Gartor, any two men being shown
into tho double-bedded room of this
famous hostelry might have doomed it
necessary to bo prepared for emer
gencies, it looked so dark and shadowy,
lighted with only a cundlo now that
the Bun had gono down. Tho two great
beds might havo been tents for gener
als on tho march in a hostllo country,
so hung nbout with sombor curtains,
so tall, so wide, so seemingly mysteri
ous ns wero they. And tho great bay
window, with its outer balcony, which
could just bo seen in tho fitful moon
light, might havo bcon tho ontranco
placo of banditti or mldnlgnt assas
sins, such as ono reads of in stories of
old days. But Dick Parker ("Gontlo
mnn Dick" thoy called him, tho friends
who called Foster Andy), and his mo
roso friend had no fear of theso things,
though the small pistols they carried
In nddltlon to thoso in their holsters
might havo been looked upon ns argu
ing tho contrary.
"Oh, curso tho girl!" said Foster,
presently, in answer to fresh outburst
from Dick, ns ho swilled his face at
tho capacious wasnstand. "That's not
tho business that has brought us all
theso miles out of our beat."
"But it may be nn Incident of pleao
uro, you snnrlor," said Dick.
"It may bo anything you llko, If you
will not mako It tho first consideration,
as you gonerally do; damme, I'm got
ting sick of your trifling I You'vo had
every stiver we've made for tho last
six months. Your gallantries, na you
aro pleased to call them, havo twlco
run our necks within measurable dis
tance of thq gallows; and now that we

most promising quarry, you bogln rav
ing about a country barmaid, as it sho
was my Lady Dolly, or the Duchess of
Seven Dials, or somo other crack beau,
ty mado to drlvo men mad, nnd to ruin
millionaires!"
"Bravo, Andy! That's a long speech
for you!" " "
(To bo continued.)
round Foolishness.
Ono of tho commonest forma of
pound foolishness is countenanced by
many high nuthorltics. This is tha
purchnso of certain household pro
visions in largo quantities. Fow writ
ers on domestic topics fall to lay stress
upon tho economy ,of buying groceries
in bulk. That sugar and flour,, pota
toes and apples should bo bought by
tho half or wholo bnrrol, cereals by
tho case, butter by tho tub, and othor
things in llko proportion Is ono of tho
Tmrly precepts in tho "Young Houso
keepers Comploto Guide to Domestic
Economy," Tho Ignorant young things
buy tho provisions first and tho ox
porlenco afterward. Tho flour grows

FAKES FROM KANSAS.
luiprnlmlilo Tsle Which Deceived and
Interested the I'ulillr.
Beyond tho questitn of a doubt,
moro "fakoa" havo emanated from
KnnsaB to dccelvo the nowspapnr-rcad-!ng
world than havo developed In any
other equnlly clrcumscrlbod portion of
tho earth's surface, snys tho New York
Prtas. Kansas peoplo say that the first
great fakir wna Sir Henry M. Otnnloy,
who at ono tlmo whllo connected with
tho frontier was a correspondent for
a St. Louis paper, tho columns of
which ho enlivened with many a thrill
ing yarn. But Just as Stanley was
making things lively tho treaty of
Modlclno Lodgo was concluded and ho
'went back to Englnnd. After that tho
noble nrt of faking fell Into dlareputo
for a time, though tho negro mlgratlpn
nnd tho grasshonner voara furnished
somo good material. The first really
Dig iauo wad tho story of tho fluding
of gold In Sumner county. It was
Btnrtcd by a nowspapcr man in a spirit
of Jost, but It was taken up in earnest
by the peoplo, nnd every farmer for
twonty miles around dronned hla nlow
'and went to digging.
To sustain tho interest nnd incomo
of his fako tho newspaper man pub
lished tho fac-stmilo of n map alleged
to havo been found In tho archives of
Mexico, showing thnt Sumner county
was actually tho Qulvcra that Coron
ado sought. Ho also published somo
plausible legends of Coronado'u trip
and tho peoplo believed overy word of
it. Tho reproductions of tho allogcd
ancient map of Qulvcra Bold like hot
cakes ut a dollar each and tho hand
press ran day and night turning them
out. Tho hotels and boarding houses
wero crowded and gold oro was pllod
up In every shop window with placards
telling tho dato and plnco of its dis

fow days everybody had a claim, and
honco ovcrybody, for tho nnko of sclf

Thoro was a tremendous demand for

Tim Hlorj of tho Horse.
Horses bogan In western America,
says Profctsor W. B. Scott of Prince
ton, In tho form of animals hardly
larger than domestic cats, whoso re
mains aro found in tho Wnsatch bods
of Eocene time. Later on, in the form
of tho mesohlppus, theso animals at
tained tho stituro of sheep, and showed
considerable ndvanccB In organization.
In time tho protohippus was developed
and it not only attained a groator size,
but had a skeleton "so llko that of a
horso ns to rcqulro a careful exam
ination to noto tho differences." Tho
chango from tho protohippus to the
existing cquus occurred early in the
Pliocene. Yet "tho true horso in tho
restricted sonso of tho term (species
Equus caballus) was' not developed in
North, America, and nppenrs never to
havo reached this continent until
brought here by European settlers.
For rensonn which can hardly be even
conjectured, tho horses disappeared
entirely from tho Western Hemlsphcro
before the discoveries of Columbus,
and continued to exist only In Eurasia
and Africa."
Sun-Spot nnd the Weather.
As wo aro believed now to bo nt
tho beginning of a new maximum sun
Dpot period, tho question of tho rela
tion of tho sun-spots' to tho weather
is coming ngnln to tho front. Tho ob
servations of Professor E. Brucknor
Indicate that thero Is a periodical va
riation In tho climates over tho wholo
:arth, tho mean length of tho porlod
being about 35 years. Mr. W. J. S.
Lockycr believes it has been demon
strated that thero is a variation in tho
Intensity of sun-spot phenomena also
having n mean length of about 35
years. Tho spot maximum, whoso be
ginning is now at hand, will, accord
ing to Mr. Lockycr, resemble that
which culminated in 1870, and which
was' remarkable for its intensity. A
cycle of dry, hot weather corresponds
with this typo of maximum.
Flowing of Motnls.
It Ib, porhnps, not generally known

which precisely resembles tho flowing
of a viscous fluid. The flow takes
