"LOVE LAUGHS AT LOCKSMITHS."
Hillsburg
is
a pretty little village.
somewhere on the eastern side of the
Alleghanies, but I won't tell exactly
where, and Mollie Dane was one of the
prettiest girls in the village. At least,
so thought Mr. Charley Abbott, and
nothing in the world would have made
him so happy as to be the owner of one
of the neat cottages on Main Street, in
a joint partnership Yith pretty Mollie
Dane.
Now Charley Abbott was a manly,
good-looking young fellow, with a frank
smile, a clear, bright eye, and a heart
as big as a barn. And as like begets
like oftcner than most folks believe,
when he fell in love with Mollie, she
straightway returned the favor .by fall
ing in love with him.
It is quite likely that the partnership
would have been speedily brought about,
but Mollie's mamma had selected anoth
er partner for her fair daughter, and
would not listen to a word about young
Abbott.
ilia. Dane's choice of a son-in-law
was her own nephew, a rising young
doctor, by the name of Paul" Reeves.
The Keeves had always been people of
importance. Paul had a competency
already, and at the death of his grand
father he would come in for a fortune
abetter match for her daughter, surely,
than Charley Abbott, a poor banker's
clerk, on a thousand a year.
There was one little circumstance of
which Mrs. Dane was not aware Mr.
Paul was not quite free himself. There
was a young lady in the city where he
attended lectures, who had a word to
say on that subject. Mollie knew it,
however, for Paul had a strong, brother
jy friendship for his pretty cousin, and
for Charley Abbott, too ; so they all
three took each other into confidence,
and Paul was the sworn ally of the
lovers.
Mollie was an obedient daughter in
-. general, but she had a spice of her good
mamma's will, and would not give up
Charley Abbott. Mrs. Dane would not
Ssrmit him to visit at the house, and
ollie was too proud and iigh-mmded
to appoint clandestine meetings; but
there were many occasions when they
44 met by chance, the usual way," and
there were walks in the open street, and
several times Charley bravely escorted
Mollie to her own door. Mrs. Dane
could not prevent this, except by keep
ing Mollie a prisoner at home. That
. she did not care to do. But one morn
ing, when, as Bhe sat by the parlor win
dow, they came walking gayly up to
gether, aid parted at the gate, she could
stand it no longer. Pretty Mollie came
in, smiling and blushing, well knowing
a lecture awaited her, and resolved to
have it over at once.
" Well, Miss!" began Mrs. Dane, sit
ting up very straight and severe, 4C how
much longer is this to go on?"
44 Is what to go on, mamma.?" asks
Miss Mollie, the very picture of demure
innocence.

44 Very well. I I can't talk upon the
subject just now. I must go up-stairs
and think awhile, before I can decide
what to do. I am overpowered with
astonishment. Stay you hero, and
when I call you, come up-stairs."
44 Yes. mamma."
Mrs. Dane swent awav.
and Moilic
waited anxiously to be called. In a very
few mindtes her summons came, and
most unsuspiciously she ran up to her
mother in the third story. i
She expected to be talked to, but as
soon as she was safe intido the door,
Mrs. Dane shut it, locked it, took out
the key, and put it in her pocket.

room you shall stay you shall never

"Then I shall never leave it!" re
turned poor Mollie, very pale, but firm
and resolute
44 We'll see! I fancy a day or two of
solitary confinement will bring you to
your senses. An when your fine lover
comes. I'll show him the door, and
Sri Sf tInr owi rS,tions" !
Mrs. Dane let herself out, locked the
door on the outside, and went down
stairs, leaving poor Mollie completely j
taken by surprise. Hut wnat couia sne
do? She could not jump from the
third-story window, nor struggle with
her mother for tho door-key. Her case
appeared hopeless, for she had not even
any chance of communicating with her
lover, Mrs. Dane allowing no one to
come up-stairs but herself.
By the end of the second day, Mollie
had cried and fretted herself into such
a fever, that Mrs. Dane felt herself ob
liged to send for Dr. Paul Reeves. Dr.
Paul came, looked very grave, pro
scribed some medicine, and told Mrs.
Dane he thought it beat to look in again
before bed-time. And he made out,
when he shook hands with his cousin,
to leave a tiny paper in her soft hand.
The instant the key was turned again
upon Mollie, she unfolded the f crap of
paper and read
Dkak Mollic: Charley and myself acrec
in thinking that desperate cases require des
perate remedies. If you are willing to fol
low our lead, give me a hint when 1 return
to-night.jj !'
Mollie had no writing materials. So
she tore a bit from a blank leaf of a
book, and scratched a few words deeply
upon it with a hair-pin. This she man
aged to give to Paul when he made his
second call.
Dr. Paul was still very grave. He
told Mrs. Dane that he was afraid Mol
lie would have a tough siege of it, un
less he could help her at once (and that
was the truth, too!), and promised to
come again early next morning.
Mollie took her cue from him, and
pretended to be much sicker than she
really was. So when Dr. Paul came in
the morning, he found her in bed in her
own room on the second floor.
Mrs. Dane, much alarmed, had ven
tured to remove her there, thinking she
would certainly make no attempt to see
Charley Abbott while she was sick.
This lime Paul brought Moilic another
note, and it read thus :
When I come to-night, Charley will he in
my carriage at the door. 1 will get Aunt
lane out of the room, and you must fly down
and make four escape quickly, r-ouragc,
now ! and be all ready. V .
Molly was very sick all the morning.
In the afternoon she thought it prudent
to grow better, and when Mrs. Dane
brought up a cup of tea at supper
time, she found Mollie dressed, wrap
ped in a big shawl, and sitting in an
easy chair.
44 Why, Mollie, what made you get
up?" she asked.
44 Oh, mother," says Mollie, 44you
know I never could bear to le in bed.
Let me sit up awhile, and I shall rest
better to-night."
Mrs. Dane did not object, but she
mentally resolved that she should go
back to the third story in the morning.
Dr. Paul came soon, pronounced her
better, sounded her lungs, and said he
still thought she had better have mus
tard applied to her chest. If Aant Jane
would prepare the poultice herself, to
make sure it was just right, they would
apply it at once.
Aunt Jane, not supposing there was
any danger in leaving the patient a few
moments in the Doctor's care, walked
right into the trap, and went down to
prepare the mustard.
The moment' she was down stairs, the
sick girl sprang up, crying excitedly :
44 Now, Paul, what?"
44 Throw your shawl over you head
don't stop for a hat and run down to
Charley. I've left the front door open
on purpose. ly, now, and make no
noise. I'm going to run down and tell
aunt, on second thought, I have decided
to let the mustard wait till morning.
You'll escape while I'm gone, you know,
so I shall know nothing about it. Be
quick, now!"

noise, and kept his aunt nearly five
minutes before she remembered that
Mollie was alone.
Then she hurried to her post, but the
bird was flown.!
Paul put on an air of such surprised
innocence, and was so innignant ax tne
idea of their, running off with his car
riage, that Aunt Jane never was certain
as to his complicity.
But at last she wisely resolved, to en-
dure what she could not cure, so she
forgave Mr. and Mrs. Charley and now

the chapter in 44 Our Girls" devoted to
44 Boots and Shoes," came to say that,
S she as a great sufferer from
corns and a general sore and crippled
condition of feet, her shoes were never-J
theless enormous, twice as large as her
feet. She wished I would see if it was
not so. I examined the shoes and
agreed with her that they were too large. f
As she stepped, it was doubtless true, as '
sne said, tnat ner loot rocfceu over nrst
on thi3 side and then on that. Now it i
pressed over on the outside, rubbing f
down over tho edge of the solo and l
touching the ground, and, perhaps, if
the ground was at all uneven, on the
very next step, her boot would rock
over on the other side of the sole. Such
friction between the little toe and the
"'. a i
big toe-joints against the upper leather ,
must inevitably produce corns. I think
the majority of shoes are too large.

Burglar Who Knew
Judge.
More Than a
The Windsor (Vt.) correspondent of
tho New York Sun says : A man about
85 years old was arrested for a burglary j
oommitted at the store of Robbins &
Marsh, at North Chester, Vt. At his j
trial he gave his name as John Ham- ,
mond, or " California Jack," and prov- j
ed himself an interesting character.
Although a young attorney was assign
ed him lie conducted his own case. At
the impaneling of the jury he inquired
of each of them whether he would have
any conscientious scruples against ac
quitting a prisoner should it be shown
tnat he had been ironed, hand and foot,
and dragged all over New York and
Vermont." During the progress of his
trial he would interrupt a witness with
"You need not answer; I object," etc.,
and when overruled by the Judge, who
was a member of the Supreme Court,
Jack would take exceptions to his rul
ings, and upon these he appealed to the
Supreme Court, recently held at Wood
stock, before which he won his point
and obtained a new trial. His versatil
ity, shrewdness and legal knowledge are
a subject of much comment among the
legal fraternity. -California Jack has
been confined in the Windsor Stats
Prison, as no other prison was deemed
safe against his experienced efforts to
escape.

Why A Horse Balked
A Hartford man recently bought a
young horse for 200. Within a week
or two the horse began to act badly,
and finally developed such a balky dis
position that the new owner could do
nothing with him. Persuation of every
kind and finally severe beatings were re
sorted to, but still the horse remained
stubborn. At last,in a desperate mood,
the horse was taken to the original owner
who bought him back for $25. The
cause of the whole trouble was soon dis
covered. The horse had been broken
to wear a hames collar, and had never
worn any other kind his owner had
put a breast-collar on him after using
him a little while, and no one " happen
ed to think" that this change had pro
duced the sudden obstinacy in the ani
mal. Wearing: the collar to which he
had been accustomed, tbe Horse is an

Lord CfcelMsfori's 5arrew Escape,
It is not generally known how near
the Zulus came, after the disaster at Is
andula, to bagging Lord Chelmsford
himself and his entire staff. The Gen
eral would have ridden quietly into
camp, which was in possession of his
savage foes, and was already within
rifle shot of it, when he met an officer,
who had escaped, and warmed him of
the true condition of affairs.
The Zulus after their victory dressed
themselves in the uniforms of their vic
tims and prepared an ambush which
would almost certainly have succeeded,
had not one of them impetuously fired
his rifle at Lord Chelmsford's inform

How to Turx a Colt to Hajosem.
A writer Is the Koglbh Ayncuilurol
Qozcllc gives th following xm as cjuj
and practical method of tcctutomlcjc
young col j to the restraint of the hxr
nes : Put on kim as cay collar, hav
ing a pair of rein attached, or sd two
pieces, to lengthen the trace, and It t a
strong man walk behind htra, holding
thce. After a few minute the leader
may order the man to pull the trace
f bllo and tha Rradttd
to
lean into his collar, when the man who
holds the traces may uw his whole furcr
for a short time only. The traces nmtf
now be slackened naln, and the use
course gone over repeatedly ; but stop
ping tho colt occasionally, to guntic
him, taking care, howerer, to slack
the traces jot as he tep, and
to turn a little to one side
when starting each time, while th
man pulls the opposite trace. After
this exercise, let him be taken to the
cart or other vehicle for which he i in
tended ; allow him to smell and exam
ine it; then push it away, and draw it
up to him several time, raising and
lowering tho shafts, until he takes no
notice of its nobe or of thediflerent ap-
pcaranccs when raised or lowered.
Now turn him round, and put him bo-
tween the shafts ; rub them against his
frides; push back and draw up the cart,
:A,n.:i
behind and on the Mdca
it, until he allows htm$ell to te
'knocked about bvit,' so to speak. This
i will do for one day's lesson. Next day
i let all his harness be put on, leaving
chains or straps to bang and .strike
mxea 8&v ( against him. while the whole of the pre
r otner oil. vjOU3 day's lesson is gone through step
by step. Same on third and fourth
days. He mny then be yoked or hitched
to "the cart; and should have at least
one hour's exercise at going up and
&own bin, turning, etc. First start on
ievei ground. If these directions be
carried out, the colt learns that the ve-
n,cie ne draws is not meant to hurt mm,
nd he will never try to ' kick it away
or 4 run off ' from it.
Jtulcs for Training -1. Never try to
beat a colt into duiug a thing; or, if
nervous, he may turn out a vicious
horse, and if stupid he may become
stubborn. Remember that by patience
and gentleness he can be got to do any
thincr that will not hurt him.
j. When a horse shows signs of shy-
ni, al any object do not beat him; hut
jcad him up to it, allowing him to stand
ftnd look, as he comes closer. And after
be examines it a few times he will not
fear any thing of the kind again.

stones, and stop him until he takes no
nonce oi me mnw.
3. Before putting on anv article of
harness, let your c. It smell It, and then
rub it against hi3 head, neck and body. f
4. Always start a horse with the voice ;
never with the cut of a whip. In start- '
ing, turn a little to one side; and in '
stopping, when going up a hill, do tho j
same.
Aiiout Gkaxulak Buttek. Several
inquiries having been referred to rac
from various readers of tho Tribune as
to the details, etc., of the cystcm of
gathering and keeping butter in gran
ules, I answer with, I trust, sufficient '
fullness to be understood by all: 1.
Churn the same as usual until tho butter
comes and is almost ready to gather.
Then turn into the churn, a little at a
time, cold water enough to reduce the
contents of the churn to about !A dog ,
and churn slowly till the butter forms,
as it soon will, into granules. 2. The
buttermilk is best separated by drawing
it out at the bottom of the churn. When
this is not convenient the butter may bo
skimmed out in nny convenient way and
put into a vessel of cold water, or "what '
is better, cold brine, and then stirred to
cleanse it oi buttermilk, relating the
washing in new brine till it runs off
clear, thus avoiding any working,whiuh
is a verv important point. It should lie
in the last brine half an hour to an hour

evenly, and the salt sifted on and stirred
in. It is better to put on the salt at two
or three different times, stirring in well
at each time.so that the saltshail be thor
oughly mixed through the granules. The
salted granules arc then pressed into a
mass by a butter-ladle, lever, or butter
worker, and set aside till tne salt is dis
solved, when it should be taken, a little
at a time, and pressed or run through a
butter-worker till it becomes solid, and
as much brine i3 pressed out as desired,
when it is ready for packing or for mar
ket. 4. If it is desired to preserve but
ter in brine, a vessel of wood or glass
may be used. If wood, it is better not
to have the casks very large say, half
barrel in size and it must be thorough
ly cleansed of all sap or woody flavor
by first soaking in cold brine several
davs. and then filled with DoiiiDff ho
bnne and letting it stand till it becomes
cold. This brine may be used to soaK
the next cask in. Before putting in but
ter the cask should be partly fiili with g
clean, cold brine, as strong as it can be
made, and then filled with butter iu the '
granular form, and fresh from thc churn
as may be after washing off the butter
milk and soaking in bnne for an hour
or so. The cask is then to be headed, '
and through a hole in one end filled full
of brine and left to settle till every crev-1,
ice is full and it will settle no more,
when, if necessary, more brine is added
to make it full, and the hole plugged.
The butter is then in as good a condition
for preserving as canned fruit. 5 T
bjie oT preserving should always be
The
as
strong as it can be made, and from pure .
salt, otherwise it will bleach the surface
of the granules. 6. The butter is kept
from floating by keeping the vessel full
of brine. It can not then rise above the
brine. 7. When desired for use or for
market, it is taken from the cask and
the brine rinsed off wiih cold water,

shape, or it may be transported in the
brine if it has far to go, and fitted for
market at the end of its journey. 8.
Butter has not, that we are aware of,
been sent to market in the granular
form, the samples kept in brine having
been put in form for marketing at the
dairy or creamery. Small packages
have been sent over long journeys in not
weather to test its ability to stand heat
and rough usage while ia brine, with
excellent results, and this after it has
stood a long time in the brine.
9. Since the article ia the
Tribune, of February 12, the
honor of originating this method of
gathering butter in granules and pre
serving ". in. that form ia brine, has been
