"Kenneth," said my father, as he left
the room, "step into the library before
you go to bed ; I want to speak to you."
I waa in no hurry to bring the evening
to a clfsei Lounging over the back-
j ganimou-board with Cousin Cecily, and
listening to the songs Miss llarmon.my
father's ward, was practising in the
other roonij was much more to my taste
than talking over our plans for my fu
ture life. I) ut Cecily was one of the
prompt sort; When the game was fin
ished she closed the board and insisted
upon my going to my father.
"Well, Kenneth," he said, as 1 gtfstted
ruyself, "how do-ou like Nora Har
mon?" -
The question" sounded so oddly, com
ing from my father, who was accus
tomed to speak directly to the point in
a business conversation, that I etaxed
blankly at him, repeating, "Nora ilar
mon?" ,4ircs," he said; "you have been at
home three weeks. What do vou think '
Of her?"
"She's well enough," saidi; "why?
Is she my long-lost sister?"
MDont be a fool," suggested my
father.
"No, sir," I dutifully replied.
"She's worth seventy-five thcro'sand
dollars,'' continued he; "now do you
neer"'
"Can't say that I do," snid I. ."She
is eng-tged, isn't she?"
" Who told you that?" asked my fath
er sharply.
" Wiy, no one, precisely. But all the
town says she and Tom Ililliard will

""It is not. You may set your mind

"Are you sure?" I asked.- "They say

0. So, in less thr.a' two weeks 2Iiss Har
mon and I found ourselves comfitablv
fettled t Uuele Barton White's farra ';
house. I began to think the post of du-
enna WPjJ not so bad, after all. We i
were vir the sound; and w?ta diiving,
nshing, bathing, and rowing; the time
passed Quickly. Poor Ililliard made
bat on- attempt to disturb our peace. j
v::c coriuii, juoi. ct X 1. 1. i uiua, iu uniu
Barton a.ld I were smo&fng in the ve
randa!), a gentleman rode up.
"Ilelloa!' Urtcle Barton called out.
"lleiloa!" returned the stranger;
"does Mv. White live here?"
"B ut White does." was the answer;
"is he the chap?''
"Is MiS3 Harmon staying" here?"
"Is your rtame Hillhud?" queried T3y
uncle.
The stranger hesitated", and5 then an
swered in the affirmative.
"Well, my orders arc' Ant to let you in.
I never turned a visitor away in my
lite, and i wont begin now;- so" if you'll
come ill you're welcome; but you can't
Eee "Sura."
"Goid -night, then," said Ililliard, and
departed.
"Why didn't you tell me who it was?''
said Uncle Barton.
"How coYdd I? I never saw him be
fate; and, besides, k is dark."
"He's a clever-spoken fellov. But
he'd ought to 2e niore'u that to come af
ter Xora. Seems to me she's rather
sweet on you, ain't she? It wouldn't be
j a bad spec for you, young man."
I reclaimed instantly that t coui'd1'
never be influenced by sach a motive;'
j !Ht Miss Il.trmon was a nice gkl.
j "Miss Harmon;" repeated Uncle Bart,
! with the. most profound contempt;
I -'why can't you call people by their
hriateiii-d names? I always do? Hcl
ioa!" as two lignres came stumbling
round the coiner of the house, talking
loudly and angrily.
"1 Vie and Juke, drunk as fools. Wh:it
do yon want?"
"Want ohr rights," sLimmTed ona.
"Well, you won't ce 'em her?". 1
! ain't a hangman,-' answered Uncle
Barton.
"We ain't agoni'io work Tor no twen
ty doM.H-3 a month in hayiu'. M uVin'J
daikcys gits two dollars a day."
"Jusl turn iu atyJ go to sleep, and
He'll-talk it over ill the morning',' said
rnyt.'T.cIe. But this pacific suggestich
was a failure. The men were deter
mined; so was Uncle Barton; and tlie
next morning he found himself with j
only one m.iu and four Luge Colds re;v- j
dy for mowing. How-cVer, he was j
equal to tlie emergency, Lavlr had j
iong experience. He rose early, drove j
off somewhere, and befon
before te i o'clock 1
had secuml two men, and put them to j
work. I volunteered my assistance,
i hut it w.i3 rejectee!-; so Nora and I drove
off to spend the day with some friends,
We did- sot return uctiT evening; and j
trzitrtfih Irsd-Yir' syevk -
ing in the most unintelligible sounds
tongue ever uttered. We stood a mo
ment In the doorway and looked in.
There sat Uncle Barton and one of the
new men in the middle of the room,
while the rest of the family weie seated
around, looking ou iu open-inoutbed
wonder. -
"Come, Kenneth," said Uncle Barton.
"You ate a scholar, see if you cant
talk to r'hilip. I'm trying to find out
who he is. He can't understand me
when I speak Dutch, and he dontknow
the fiiTt word of English."
I sat down by "Philip" and tried my
lingual powers, but he evidently did
not Hinderstand. As soon as I stopped
talking lie took up a slate which lny
upon the table and began to tell us a
long story in some unknown tongue.
He seemed pleased, and kept on talking
for a long time, Utterly oblivious trf the
fact that we knew no more of his lan
gliage than he of ours.
On Sunday afternoon Uncle Barton
came into the sitting-room, and told us
(hat Philip was hard at work in the
kitchen, writing a letter and talking
about Garibaldi. The children rtlsbed
out to see, and presently came back,
saying the letter was finished, and he
wanted an eyrvelope. This rendering it
practicable for ine too' see what was
g"oing Cn without lowering my dignity
by any exhibition of curiosity about
such a person, I got one and took it out
, to him. He was as good-natured as
ever; indeed, his face was on a broad
grin mo'st of the time; and as I handed
him the envelope I glanced acciden
tally of course at the writing. It was
iu German j but I could distinguish the
words "soldat" and "Garibaldi" in
large letters in many places. ' He pro
duced a piece of red sealing-wax, rind
after carefully folding the letter and
putting it in the ehvtlct, secured it
with nine large seals; after which he
proceeded to direct to His Majesty Vic
tor Emanuel, Mexico, in America.
Then Ire handed it to me, saying "post?1'
I nodded my head, and went back to
I he sitting-room.
"Uncle Barton," said I, "kyk here!
That man is crazy."
"Stuff;" said in uncle. "lie's a tip
top fellow to work. Wha "makes you
think that?"
I handed hiin the letter.
"I suppose he's been a soldiermd
wants a pension or something,"" sajd
he. "If he had been in Garibaldi's army
he'd kn".vJLietler than to direct to Vic
tor. Emanuel ju America," I suggested;
uflhis argument was' totally without
effect, ily uncle brought forward a
tuuc! better one.
"1 think there's scri?thing queer
about him, myself," he said. "He's
got books in his room; two or three of
them. And he washes his hands ajd
face every morning, and thatr's what
none of 'em ever do."
'Yes, tvnd he talks and laughs to Mirf
self," said cousin Mary.
"List night, wkn 1 went to look for
Nora, I heacT stiintioTXi ktug-hiRg, and
I I locked in the barn door, and there he
'; was all alone."
n "I'm afraid of him," said Aunt Kate.
Suppose he should come down stairs
; some night and murdtr us all?'
"Lock the door of the stairway,"
tid Umle Barton.
"T fvin't Tlio lvt-'fi lirrvl-on TV
. . ' " .
"By Jimittyl" was tne answer. "He's
no twre crazy'n I am. I ain't afraid
of him or a dozen like him."' -
"But I am," said Mary.
"And I," said Aunt Kate and the
children together.
"Then lock your doors. Don't talk
like a set of gt ese," and uncle Barton
walked off in disgust.
When we went to our rooms I noticed
that eve?y doer v as shut and locked,
idthough we generally left therar c2r a
little way, in the hot Weather, f ct the
sake of the air. But my door had no
lock; so', discretion being out of the
question, I tried the worse part of valor,
and left tlie door ajar as usual. Then
I went to sleep and dreamed of the
Deering murder and of Phil'p.- Aftei a
while 1 woke up with a confused sense
of footsteps and voices somewhere near
me. I thought I heard a door opi?alid
shut;- and, hiking towards my door, I
saw a faint ligl.t hieh gradually grew
brighter and En ich.er. Tt slashed across
nie it, an inst int. Sorwbody Philip,
and perhaps a companion, was coming
down the garret stairs with a light.
And alV the door3 were locked, and
everybody was ; s eep. I rose, and
went cautiously town.rd the light; 1 put
out my hand to eht-ia-' hold of the door,
and tcnehed the window. The foot
steps and voices were part of my dreamy
iie light was only the rnoon coming'
gradually out from behind the clouds.
I silently resolved trpa-y no more at
tention to tlie voices of the night,"
come what! might; and was soon s'ei-;"-ing
so soundly that I did not awake
until the breakfast bell rang, and Char
li rushed into my room with the fof
lowing announcement:
"Nora's gone, and Philip's gone, and
he isnt Philip, but Mr. Ililliard, an
they're ni;wiedl"
So my dream was not all a dream after
all. Bui I bore it. Strangely enough,
my first thought3 were cot of the lost
seventy-five thousand; nor of poor
r.ora's sad fate; wedded to the man sne
loved; nor of the wrath ot my father
and the iidicule of my friends. 1
thought of cousin Cecily's sweet, sober
fce, wor-lertd what she wciM
say.

YYOKDS OF SENSE
NehraskaJ'rcss Association Work"
Aside f ronp-4 he election of officer
and other prtdwtrMiiuty work dcuo by
the Press Association, which "net at
TTincohy, January "Ttith, several topics'
of m tense interest to newspaper pul-'
Jishers in tip; State were discussed atid
referred to appropriate, coiuiuittess for
further action. The fn.t topic taken,
up was that of "foreign sulvertising."
The discussion of this topic developed
the fact that every publisher present
had either been.the victim of thes irfirp
practice of foreign advertis'rrg" agents,
or' had escaped only by Fating nothing
whatever to do with tlleui. The ques
tion was. How shall thiskindof adver-'
Using be regulated? It wits concluded
that it eotrld not be effectually controll
ed so long as so many 'snide' newspa
pers were constantly eag?r to take any
and every kind of advertising sent, te
them through the mail on any kind of
promise mi the part of the sender.'
Cheap John agents are as well satisfied
with cheap John newspapers as with
respectable newspapers of g'-i. eircu-laton.-
The 'snides' answer their pur
ncres as well as any. Even the more'
responsible agents use this class of;
newspapers in order to make largo'
profits. How to choke olf th snides at
both ends is the problem. Oi. met h
od pioposed, and now in profess ot un
folding, is to have the auxiliary sheets''
used in the state published within the
State. Propositions to furnish these"
sheets were received from the Lincoln
Journal Company and Mr. Harry (Sib
son, of tlie Herald job rooms, Omaha.'
Mr. iibon offered to furnish them at
thirty certs pt'r qu?re. rVS?:',.ed four
hundred quires were taken per weeK.
Neither gentleman asked for reserved
'space for advertising. This arrange
ment would, of course, shut out those
advertisers from the State who do their
advertising through Kellogg and oth
ers who furnish patent sheets to No-'
braska publishers. This arrangement
in conjunction with a fixed purpose on
tlie part of every publisher to' take M0r
foreign advertising without pre-pay-''
ment would convert the worse than
worthless patronage of foreign adver
tising agents (with few exceptions) iu-''
to desirable lui'.'r.C.-s. The first step'
toward corn cling the' evils growing
oi-'t of thi present system' of foreign
advertising taken by the association is'
indicated in the" foir.iwiirg" resolution:
Ri:-.olf it. That the committee on
State co-operative printing bo continu
ed with instructions to eorrestioiid
with the different publishers in the'
State and make such arrangements as
it may deem best to carry -the object
to be attained into full effect, and le-'-port
to the executive comirritiee.
It was hoped by tlie association that
every publisher in this State would re
apond fa rurally 011 the subject so vi
tal to" the interests of the newspaper,
business. Two things will wholly fix
it. viz: (1) Use no patent sheets con
taining advertisements; (2) take no'
foreign advertising unless prepaid.'
Publishers can do this if they wll.'
The other topics and resolutions touch-"
ing them will be gi7en r?rt; week.-
A great many newspaper men lie"'
