OLD- I FAVORITES H I I I I I t l l l n-n-fr-H-H-M- Nellie Gray. There's a low green valley ou the old Kentucky shore. There I've wbiled many happy hours away, aY-aitting anil znuigiug by tbe little cot tage Jour, Where, lived my darling Nellie Gray. Chorus: Oh! my poor Nelly Gray, they have takeii you ayv And I'll never see iny darling any more; tna lilting by the river, and I'm weeping all the day, For you've gone from the old Kentucky shore. When the uioou had climb'd the moun tain and the stars were hhining, too, Then I'd take my darling Nelly Gray, And we'd Boat down the river in the little red canoe. While my banjo sweetly I would lilay. One night I went to see her, but "she's gone," the neighbors say, The white man bound ber with his chain; They have taken her to Georgia, for to wear her life away, As she toils iu the cut ton and the cace. My canoe la under water, and my banjo is unstrung, I'm tired of living any more; My eyes shall look downward, and my song shall be uiumng, While I stay on the old Kentucky shore. My eyes are getting blinded, and I cannot see my way , Hark! there's somebody knocking at the door; Oh! I hear the angels calling, and I see my Nelly Gray; ' Farewell to the old Kentucky shore. Oh! my darling Nelly Gray, up in heaven, there, they say, That they'll never take you from me any more; I'm a-coming, coming, coming, as the angels clear the way; Farewell to the old Kentucky shore!

We loved each other then, Lorena, More than we ever dared to tell; And what might we have been, Lorena, Had but our loving prospered well! But all is past, those years are flown.

Basil's Vindication j 1 l2 E pressed the fragrant note t his lips, and, with a serene smile, leuned back In his chair. It was more, much more, than be hud ever dared to hope. Only a few words, written in a dainty feiuiuine hand on a sheet of tinted note paper, yet Basil Yere, having read, thought himself the happiest tnun alive. "Meet me in St. Saviour's Church at noon to-niirrow. MAltlE. The messenger who had brought the epistle having gone, Basil gave himself up to an hour's sweet contemplation of his love. Marie Sumerville was the only daugh ter of a wealthy, but proud, lawyer, who had made up his mind that no one iu the three kingdoms was too good for Marie. - Marie, however, inheriting more of her mother's gracious -sweetness of character than of her father's stern and harsh demeanor, thought otherwise, and would have none of the many suit ors that the latter provided for ber choice. Tnen one day she met Basil Yere, a young subaltern In an Infantry regi ment, who from the very first time of meeting had determined to woo and win the pretty, blue-eyed daughter of the lawyer. Opportunities for seeing each other were not frequent, however, and many were the subterfuges to which resort had to be made In order that they might enjoy each other's society. But to-morrow! Then Basil would pour out his whole heart to his love, quite undisturbed. It was almost too good to be true, and he threw his cap high in the air. Half au hour before noon Basil sat patiently In a secluded seat, hidden be hind one of the massive pillars of the church, waiting for Marie. At every step he. raised bis head and watched tho who entered. Noon came, and the great clock over head chimed out the hour. "She will be here in a moment," he said to himself, hoping that the next worshipper would appear in the person of his love, but all In vain. Tbe suspense seemed long, and the quarter chimed; still the subaltern waited. That she would come he had no doubt, but what bad hindered her? The half-hour struck. Almost before the -echo had died away a voice sounded almost in his ear. "Basil!" Marie had entered a small door be hind him, taking him unawares. "I could not come befcre, Basil; I have been detained." "My own Marie, pray do not excuse yourself. I am proud to wait" "Hush, Basil! itemember, we may be heard here. My brother Is coming." "Your brother?" "Yes. lie said .he would be back In half an hour. They suspect me of meet ing you." "Would they prevent our intercourse, Marie';" "If they could," she answered. "But we must not let them. If we are care ful and ever on the alert we shall not arouse suspicion." . "You do not regret your love " "How can you ask, Basil? That were Impossible!" Marie auswered with a solemn look. "Should 1 be here other wise?" "No, Marie, but I wbshed to hear It again from your sweet lips," he an s wired. Just at that moment the clock struck one. ' With a start Marie arose. "Look! Francis has seeu us," she crieiL as a young fellow rushed after iheio when they walked out of tbe church. , They quickened their pace, but wpre too late. Francis touched Marie on the shoulder. "What does this mean, Marie?" be asked bluntly. Who is this fellow " "Francis!" Marie's eyes flashed upon her broth er. Anger was plainly visible on her features, the graceful contour of ber face becoming more visible In anger than when In repose. "Haw dare you speak of my friend like that?" "Your friend, Marie! Tou must be mad! Surely, girl " He could hardly utter his thoughts. He gave a fierce scowl at Basil, who stood near. "Surely, girl, you don't call that your friend?" The insalt did not pass unnoticed by tbe subaltern. Uls hands Itched to clutch Francis by the throat, but Ma rie's restraining Influence held him back. - - "Take no notice of him, Basil," re turned Marie with hauteur, turning her back on ber brother. "He la not respoo jlble for bis words." "Ob, oh!" sneered Francis. "Bo I hut's your game. Is It? I'll soon make the fellow cry 'Peccavl,' I'll warrant" Basil turned upon hlin. "Basil, take no heed, there's a good fellow," whispered Marie to him; "he la my brother, remember." Tbe simple words were enough for tbe subaltern. With a sulky growl, be walked on beside Marie, wishing him self for once without his love. But Francis waa not to be balked In J Ida designs. Stepping op to Basil, he aught him roughly by the shoulder. "Here, take yourself off!" ho cried. Basil took no notice. This aroused the demon In his aggressor. v . He raised his flat "Will yoa aioar off?" be cried madly. Mario Interposed her body botweoa the two men, clinging tightly to her brother. With a cry of rage he flung her ruthlessly from him and struck out at Basil. At that moment Basil stooped slight ly to catch Marie and received the blow on his temple. He staggered back. All his wildest passlous aroused at this mad attack, be doubled his lists and stood on his guard. Marie had by this time recovered her self "aud saw what Basil Intended. , Clasping her hands, she stood before him. "Uemember," she w hlspeerd, "he Is my brother." "Go now, Basil," she whispered. He needed no second bidding. He dared not stay In the company of Fran cis longer, else be knew that he umsi retaliate upon him his ill words and blows. Oh, that Marie had not asked him to do the all but Impossible. And as Basil Yere walked homeward his brow was clouded and his step heavy. Not a week had passed. Basil Yere sat musing iu bis boat on the Thames below Oxford, He had been boating alone, and had drawn his boat iu among the rushes by the river bank. Thus, quite out of eight, he could watch the other parties that passed and repassed. Suddenly he heard voices. "The despicable cad!" said one. "Yes; the fellow actually had the cool cheek to meet Marie in St Saviour's Church," said a voice that Basil recog nized as belonging to Francis Somer viiie. "Great Scot!" "Luckily I came upon them In time or I aon't know what might not have happened." "But what does Marie say about it?" asked one. "Cut up quite nasty. Will not have a word to say to me now! Says I've killed her with my Interference, and moM-a all day loug." "She's a fine girl, Francis." "And the old boy means to have ber marry well," Francis answered. "Noth ing less than a title will suit him. Be sides " "So Vere is altogether too low?" "The cad!" muttered Francis again "I'd like to meet the fellow now. 'I'on my soul, I would almost drown the in solent puppy!" he cried. But Basil heard no more. Tbe boat had passed out of hearing. An hour later Basil was run into by two tnen in a boat His boat was upset and he was pre cipitated Into the water. Being a good swimmer, he came to tbe surfaee In a very short time, and found Francis in the other boat taunt ing him. "Save yourself, you coward!" be shouted with a leer. "Hands off our boat. We'll have none such as you among uu!" But he was too late. Basil managed to get one knee on the side of the bout. Francis got out of bis seat to prevent hitu from souring a hold, and overbalanced himself. Next moment all three were struggl ing in the water. It did not take long for Basil to swim to the bank. The second occupant of the boat was soon by bis side In a half-drowtn-d condition, vowing vencgauce on Basil. But where was Francis? They could not see him for the mo ment. A minute had not passed, however, before his head appeared atove Hie water. He threw bis Hands up with a supplicating' gesture and then dlsap peared. "Good heavens, the weir!" cried Basil. "Nothing can save him once he gets caught In that current!" With one glance at big helpless eom upanlou, Basil threw off his jacket and swam for the place where he had lust seen Francis. lie lay on a couch and nibbed bis eyes. It was several hours later. He beard the voice of Francis in the next room. "Is It really you, Marie?" "My dear Basil, how can I thank you enough? Why, you almost died for Francis!" A glad smile lit up Basil's features. "I did It because he is your brother!" he answered simply. Marie smothered his face with kisses. "I will make It all right with the old man, Basil!" whispered Francis next day, as be reclined on a couch at the Inn. "You need have no fear now. I was a mean, despicable bound "Hush!" cried Basil. "You're made me happy, so why should I grumble!" "A mean, despicable " "Look here, Francis, if you don't leave off talking such rubbish you and I wiU quarrel." "We mustn't do that, Basil, must wer "Of course not!" cried Marie, entering at that moment "Can you forgive me, Marie?" asked Francis. "Ten thousand times!" answered Marie happily. And she meant It too. New York News. Value of Canada's Minerals. ' The total value of Canada's mineral product In 1900 reached over fttS.OOO, KM, or 12 a bead of the population.

For ten years, more or less, say from 1874 to 1SS4, and later than this Iu the northern range, there was uni versal prosperity and lots of money; to be a cow-man meant being a small but powerful king with a princely king dom, the boundaries of which were set by precedent and by the honor of cus tomas far as a man on horseback could see, and by water as firmly as if corner-marked and title-deeded. There was no rent and virtually no taxes to pay. A man might own a hundred thousand cattle and not an acre of land, though he claimed "range rights" to fifty thousand seres, and enforced those rights with blood and iron, says a writer Iu the Century Magazine. Apparently this was a new sort of free life in which mau had risen above the old slow rules of thrift. It was a simple business; turn the cattle to grass, and when money was needed, round thetn up and sell them. But the lucky dog sometimes has dif ficulty in enjoying his bone In cace. Lured by the stories of sudden riches In the cuttle country, other men, as bold and hardy as the first flocked In from all parts of the world, and be gan raising big and little herds. The building of the railroads across the continent stimulated Immigration; the great Texas boom followed the com pletion of the Texas Pacific railroad In lHSIi. At first the early comers wel comed the new rangers, sold them cat tle at exorbitant prices, chuckled at their innocence, allowed them to come In on the ranges, aud grew richer and richer. There were times when Texas steers, big and little, brought $25 each on the range. But tbe tide swelled, and the cattle continued to Increase enormously. Presently the first real settlers, the "nesters" of Texas, who wished to fence the land for farms, ap peared In numbers, aud the early com ers, the original cow-boys, began to chafe. "Who's elbowing me?" they in quired, and there was prompt and ef fective shooting and the wholesale cut ting of the new fences. Many good men lay down In the hot sand, never to rise again. But that, bad as It was, did not tell the whole story of destruction. If cuttle bad been killed Instead of men, the trouble might have been averted, but the herds went on multiplying until they covered all the range, giving It no rest winter or wummer. Each cow-man scrambled for all he could get; he irgued "that If he did not take the rass his neighbor would. And who cared a rap for the future! Life was short and money tangible. At first there had been enough grass to sup port one steer to every two acres of land; In half a dozen years a steer did well to make his living on 11, e acres. After that the ratio steadily widened. So great was the struggle for new ter ritory that whole herds of cattle some times went twenty miles or more to water aud then back again, galloping every step, and working hard between times to get enough from the failing ranges to keep life within their lean carcasses. And to-day there are many parts of the range that will not support ten cattle to the square mile, one steer to every sixty-four acres, and It Is a good range Indeed that will feed a steer to every twenty a-res. There are whole ranges iu Texas. New Mex ico and Arizona, once rich beyond be lief, that are completely d"serted and given over to tbe desert Diftlcult Case of MirgTy. A :i month-old nylghau broke Its left fon-lcg In two places Iu the paddock in the Central Park mi lingerie a mouth ago, and an uncommon experiment In anluial surgery was tried to save Its life, writes a reporter In the New York Sun. When a wild animal breaks Its leg it Is'tPiiially killed, as It cannot be kept quiet long enough for the bones to unite. 1 he youig nylghau broke Its leg near tuft shoulder In leaping over a wa tering trough In tbe paddock while en gaged In a game of "tag" with three other youngsters of the same species, director John W. Smith Instructed Keepers Snyder and Shannon to do up the broken leg in a Bplint made of bandages and tar. The tar wag put on hot, and the animal was quiet until the tar cooled and hardened. The bones hsd first been properly set and when the tar cooled the splint held them In place. The animal was able to bobble about the inclosure on Its game leg. Or. Edmund B, Houthwlck, tbe park entomologist, and Park Commissioner Wlllcox watched the outcome of the experiment with Interest The splint was taken off recently, af ter being on four weeks, and the bones were found to be thoroughly united. The animal went skipping about tbe paddock almost as lively as before the injury. Distrustful Fit her. "Herbert has a lovely disposition," said Ethel.

The rice-like seeds produced this year on the bamlHJo plants In Mldnuporc, Indiana, are being examined with In terest These plants rarely flower, aud the appearance of flowers aud fruits seem to mark some peculiar climatic conditions, which are locally believed to herald the approach of famine. How to make the plants yield these edible seeds in famine years is now the prob lem. In California, where fruit Is fre quently damaged by sudden wartnlug at sunrise after being exposed to frost at night, it has been found that a screen of lath, poised like a roof abova the trees, serves as an effectual pro tection by preventing the too precipi tate action of the sun's rays. Investi gation has filiown that "air drainage" plays an important port In the preven tion of frost, little damage being caus ed by the lutter In places where the air is In motion. Wherever the air Is stagnant the Injury from frost Is found to be most marked. Monster Santos-Humout, wrltiug a description of bis own air-ships, points to a fact which may be new to the general public. Although he employs a balloon filled with hydrogen, yet his machine la so ballasted as to make Its total weight heavier by some pounds than the weight of the volume of air It displaces. Consequently It can not rise by the unaided effort of the spindle-shaped balloon. The aeronaut is able to shift the center of gravity, and wheu he wishes to rise he cants the forward end upward and sots the proiH-ller In motion. The nlr-fhlp thus ascends on an incline atmospheric plane, nnd if the profiler Is stopped it descends gently toward the earth by Its own weight The Inventor avers that he has thus combined the prin ciples of the balloon aud the aeroplane. SECRET ROOMS OF OLD ENGLAND II lil i hi; Places of Different Kinds Con Htructeil with Great bkill. There lived long ago, In tile old, troublous times in England, a Jesuit named Nicholas Owen, who devoted the greater part of his life to construct ing hiding places for outlawed priests. The pl.o es were called "priest's holes," and were made in various ways with the greatest skill and ingenuity. No precedents were allowed to bias the choice of hiding holes In those who designed them, for the more remark able the place the less likelihood tiiere was of Its being discovered. One bouse would have Its secret room lu a chimney, entered from the hearthstooe, though cases arc recorded lu which a chimney pot, unsullied by smoke, has led to the detection of the prey; au other would utilize a sliding or swing ing picture; an Innocent-looking "set tle" would prove the entrance for a hole, or a false floor would accommo date refugees. At Upton court a curious place for concealment exists lu one of the gables close to the celling. It is triangular lu shape and Is opened by a spring bolt that can be unlatched by pulling a string which runs through a tiny hole pierced In tbe framework of the door of the adjoining room. Tbe dooi of the hiding place swings upon a pivot sud externally la thickly covered with plaster, so as to resemble the rest of the wall, and It Is so solid that when sounded there Is no hollow sound from the cavity behind. Not far off, lu an upper garret is a hiding place In the thickness of the wall largo enough to contain a man standing upright Like the other, the door or entrance forms part of the plaster wall. The narrow escapes of some of these priests would fill several volumes, and for thrilling excitement thai of Fathrt Blount at Scotney Castle, the old bouse of tbe Da trails on the borders of Kent and Sussex. Is a good example. One Christmas night toward the close of Elizabeth's reign, the castle was seised by a psrty of priest hunt ers, wbo locked up the mem Iters of the 'smlly securely before atartlng on their operations. In tbe Inner quadrangle of tbe mansion was a very remarkable nnd Ingenious device. A large atone of the solid wall could be ousbed aalde. I Though of Immense weight, It waa so balanced and adjusted thai it required 1 only a alight pressure upon one side t effect an eutrauce to the hiding plact within. Upon the approach of the en emy. Father Blount and his servant hastened to the courtyard and entered the vault but in their hurry to don the weighty door a small portion of out of their girdles got Jammed in, so thai j a part was visible from the outside. j Fortunately for the fugitives, sonu j one lu the secret in passing the spoi j happened to catch sight of this tell taU fragment, and called gently to thos i within to endeavor to pull it in, which they eventually succeeded In doing. At this moment the pursuers were al work In another part of the castle, bul bearing the voice in the courtyard rushed Into It and commenced batter lug the walls, and at times upon th very door of the biding place, whlcfi would have given way bad not thosi within put their combined weigh) against It to keep It from yielding.

NEW PRODUCT OF SOUTH. How "Dried l"otatoc" Are Kvolved by Experiment Station. "Dried potatoes" Is a new idea and Industry, and like many other success ful experiments promises to be a big thing. It is the product of the South Carolina agricultural experiment sta tion. During the process the potatoes are boiled, peeled and evaporated In a cannery, uud will remain, It Is claimed, in perfect condition for years. The pre served potato becomes tit for eating af ter being soaked lu warm water for an hour. Like many other new ideas, this promises to U a big thing. It insures to the fanner the perfect preservation of one of his most prolific and most Im portant general food crops, at the satna time fitting it for safe and economical shipment to distant markets heretofore closed to It, a lid effects these ends by u mode of preparation which Is so simple uml cheap that It can be employed on tiny farm. When It Is noted that iu one case stated lu the table tin acre of land yielded .'!."" bushels of raw potatoes, which in turn yielded lO-'i bushels of the dried product, the possibilities of the process In the way of developing the culture of the vegetable In the South aud introducing It to the world's commerce and comfort begin to appear In truly vast projiortioiis. Awkward. The following Incident occurred at an entertainment In a large provincial town. On the program a certain vocalist was down to slug "Tbe Miner's Dream of Home," and to add special effect to the song he, having a friend, a fireman at the fire station, about three minutes' walk from the hall, tan out and borrow ed his top boots. Uls turn on the program came round. He appeared on the stage In all tbe glory of a red blouse, slouch hat white breeches, and (the fireman's) top boots. His rendering of the song was a great success up to the middle of the second verse, when a commotion was beard at tbe entrance of tbe ball. Then a hot and eager fireman forced bis way through tbe audience up to the footlights aud bawled out at the top of bis voice: "Bill, you've got to come out of them 'ere boots If you value your life. I'm called to a fire!" Aids to tbe Eye.
