The last words ended in a sob, and
Mr. iJent thrust bis hands down deep
in his pockets and walked away.
Iu the meantime Mrs. YVayland
was on her way to the village. The
road to the town parsed the old home

old rubbish.

to be loafing around the premises;
picking up things."
One evening in the early spring
there came a woman leading a little
girl toward the house, John Jfent
met her on the porch. Not recog
nizing her, he demanded roughly:
' 'What do you want? Why are you
here on my premises?"
She was prepared for just such
treatment, so she calmly replied:
I wish to know if you will sell
the lot where the old stone house,
stands?"
"Well, now, that's a question, I
might sell if 1 could get enough for
it Land is very dear here; I am not
selling an acre don't want to sell
land."
The words sent the blood to her
face and a feeling of disappointment
to her heart, and she turned away as
though she was about to leave him,
which alarmed him, for he really did
want to sell that bit of worthless
land.
"Perhaps." ho said, with some show
of friendliness, "you would think it
, cheap."
"There is not much of value there,
is t here?"
"There are two acres."
"Two acres of stone and rubbish."
"If it was good land I would not
sell at all."
"How much would it cost to clear
away all that stone and rubbish do
you suppose?"
"Not much, and there is not an
acre around here that is riot worth
9100. I'll sell that place, about two
acres, for $200."
Her heart leaped high as he said
that only 8200 for the old homestead
hut she stoon still as though she
was about to say no.
"As there will be some cost in clear
ing out the rubbish I'll say tl75, o
jo'i pay all cash down?"
"Yes, if I take it."
After some hesitation on her part
she agreed to take the place, and it
was arranged that he should meet her
at Lawyer liryant's the next day at
noon. She walked away scarcely
able to conceal her feelings she was
so happy. She would have paid WOO
rather than have failed to secure the
place.
As Mrs. Wayland and her little
daughter walked away John lferit
chuckled with delight, and rubbed
his hands together with great satis
faction as he walked back into the
kitchen where his wife and daughters
were preparing supper.
"Mother," he raid, with unusual
fr.endliness, "1 have just made 1175.

woman, who no doubt thinks she has

no more sense than to waste money
on those old ruins, no one is to blame
but herself."
Hut when the walls were nicely
mended, and the stones pointed with
dark green mortar, and the roof was
on, and the new windows and doors
put in, and the grounds put in order,
he knew that Mrs. Wayland had the
best of the bargain. The house now
was not a pile of stones and rubbish,
but a stately and elegant mansion.
His wrath knew no bounds. He said
openly and boldly that she had gotten
the property under false pretences.
She. had not told him that she was
i going to repair the building or he
never would have sold
that price.
He became go unhappy over the
matter at last that he went to see
Mrs. Wayland. honing to frighten her
into selling it back to him.
"Mrs. Wayland," he said, with
great severity, "you deceived and
cheated me when you bought the old
place. You did not tell me that you
had visited the place, and had it ex
amined by a stone mason, and an es
timate of the cost of repairs made by
masons and carpenters. You had no
business on my grounds you were
trespassing on my premises, for
which I will make you pay well,
unless you are willing to sell the
place to me on the same terms on
which" you bought ft. I am willing
to pay the money back and to settle
wifb the workmen."
Wrs. Wayland was startled, but
she soon recovered her self-composure
and answered him with some spirit:
"1 do not wish to sell the place; I
expect to live in that house myself.".
"I warn you tha$ the title is not
good, and you had better get your
money back while you can. The title
is not worth a cent. If the proper
heirs come you will lose all you put
into it."
Mrs. Wayland turned pale. What
if that was the truth and she should
lose the property and the money she
was putting into it But in a mo
ment or two she recalled the words
other grandfather, that the title
went back to the old colonial times
without a break and could never be
questioned.
"Mr. Hent," she answered, "I will
risk the title. 1 was born in that
house. I've heard my grandfather
say that the title could never be
questioned." -
"Who are you? What was your
(trand father's name?"
"I am Mary Wayland; my mother
was a Wardcll; my grandfather's name
was John Wardell."
"Are you the daughter of Eli
Moore by his first wife?" .
"Yes".; ,'.'- .
"Great heavens!" Tlien recollect

Oriiclil of Iim Tri m.
Few chess players could guess the
origin of one of the most important
terms in their game. The word
"chess" is said to lie a cormption ol
the Arabic word "sheikh," meaning
chief or king. The game came west
ward by way of Persia, wlnrc the
word sheikh becomes shah. It wai
the game of the king. The term
"check" is merely to give notice thai
the king is attacked, and -'checkmate"
means "the king is dead, th
verb "mala" being Irom the same
root as the Spanish matador, the
slayer of the bull. The word check,
whether verb or noun, may be traced
through several curious rainiilcation
back to the Persian and Arabic.
Kven the word exchequer is curiously
tangled up in this verbal tictwork.

I'l'lipeiutliit Oil as a Crop.
Twenty pounds of peppermint oil
per acre is considered a fair yield, but.
the yield is often greater. The pro
ducer realies from two to four dol
lars per pound for his crop, which is
better by far than any grain crop
would yield, and it must also be re
membered that, this revenue is de
rived from lands which a short time
ago were considered a wilderness and
wellnigh woithless. St. Joseph coun
ty's (Michigan) last year's crop or
peppermint oil sold at ten dollars a
pound and made the nice total of
40,ono for Hie growers of the herb.
There lire thousands upon th :u-ands
of acres of such land in the Southern
part of the .same State that, lie unre
claimed, only waiting for intelligent,
and industrious cultivators or the soil,
who have a little capita! to be laid
out in drainage when they will yield
abundant harvests of this and other
crops. The expense of drainage is
the. main one to be met, and this is
not e-realwhen results are considered.
