with a hopclois
fooling tbnt he
would gain nothing
by It, that he would
only vex himself
by tho alght of the other fellow philan
dering after tho girl lie had loved all
his life. "She'll find him out after a
bit," ho said to himself, "and then
aho'll know how to value a man who
means every word ay, and more than
every word that ho Hays."
In the meantime Dick Aylmer wont
on and turned In at tho hospitably
open gate of Gravelolgh Hall, with the
assured air of one who knows before
hand what hla welcome would be. ' "1j
Miss Dlmsdale at home?" ho nsked of
Uarbnra, who came to the door In an
swer to his knock.
"I nm not sure, sir," Barbara an
swered. "Hut she may bo in the gar
denI'll find out, sir, in a minute."
She disappeared again, leaving him
there, and then a man ran out front
tho side of the house, to take the
horso's head; and before Barbara ap
peared again, Dlek hoard n light foot
step on the gravel, nnd Dorothy her
self, wearing a blue dress and a white
sailor-hat, came Into sight. "Oh! Mr.
Harris," she cried. In such a joyous
tone that Dick's heart fairly thumped
In response. "I had no Idea that you
wore here. , I wonder how It was I did
not hear the wheels. Come and be In
troduced to my aunt; she Is here, round
this shrubbery wo always sit hero In
tho hot weather; tho sight of tho se.i
helps to keep one cool. Auntie," she
continued, not giving him time to say
a word, "this Is Mr. Harris, whom I
met at Lady Jane's, who brought mo
homo that day, you know;" then, turn
ing to Dick, she said, "This Is my
mint, Miss Dlmsdale."
I am very pleased to see you, Mr.
Harris," said Miss Dlmsdale, holding
out her hand in a frank and gracious
welcome. Miss Dlmsdale Had tho
somewhat stiff manners of the last
generation, or, I might say, of the
first half of tho century, but In her
own house sho was always moro genial
than In any other placo, nnd Dick
Aylmer shook hands with her and
felt well, that a very fato was fol
lowing him In his acquaintance with
Dorothy Strode, for hero ho was again
forced, as It were, to bo known n3 Har
ris, when nil the tlmo his real namo
was Aylmer, and how was ho to tell
tho old lady that some ono or other
had made a mistake that Is, without
giving himself tho look of an Impos
tor? Like lightning thoro flashed
through his mind nn Idea that If Lady
Jane had mistaken him for somebody
else, sho had roally no guaranteo of
his respectability, and with equal rap
idity there shot through his brain n
remembrance of his uncle's letter, his
unclo'3 threats and his uncle's unyield
ing, unbondablo yes, I must bo hon
est nnd finish up the sentence as Dick
thought it his uncle's unyielding, un
bondablc, devil of a temper. And bo,
not from any contrivance or wish of
his own, Dick, in that awkward mo
ment, let the mlstako pass, and al
lowed the two ladles at Gravelelgh
Hall to believe that his namo was, as
they had Imagined, Harris.
In behavior ho was very Judicious;
bo talked moro to tho aunt than to tho
niece, although his eyes followed her
wherever she wont In a way which told
Miss Dlmsdalo nil too plainly what
had brought him there.
But, Judging by his sereno and sober
conversation with Miss Dlmsdale, you
might have thought that Dick -was
sixty Instead of slx-and-twonty, and
Miss Dlmsdalo was charmed with hlra.
"Such a thoughtful, sonslblo follow,"
Bho Baid to herself as sho watched
him presontly go across tho lawn with
Dorothy to see her Persian kittens,
Just at that tlmo tho very prido and
Joy of her heart. Ay, but men were
deceivers ever, sometimes quite un
conscious though It bo. At that mo
ment Dick was saying to Dorothy,
"And I thought tho week would novor
Bet over tho very longest week I ever
lived."
"Then why didn't you como bo
foro?" sho asked, with innocent au
dacity. "Como before! But you said that I
wasn't to como till this weok," ho an
swered. "Besides, I didn't know I
wasn't suro that I mightn't get bun
dled out neck and crop when I did
come. Oh no, I didn't want to run
tho risk of that."
"Do you often get bundled out neck
and crop when you go to call at
houses?" Dorothy Inquired demurely,
and with a saucy twlnklo In her eye.
"No, I don't," ho ropllod with a
laugh. "But I have known what it
was to havo a decided cold shoulder,
and I didn't want to llnd It here."
"And you have not. I think Auntla
has been particularly nice to you," sho
said, as sho opened tho door leading
into tho stable.
Dick put his hand out to open tho
door also, and in doing so Just touched
hers. "I think," said he, In a danger
ously tender tone, which would great
ly havo enlightened Miss Dlmsdalo,
"that she is u delightful woman; sho

Is fit to bo your nunt;" nnd then
Dorothy laughed a little, nnd pushed
the door open.
"flee, this is my Lorna Dcone," she
said, going Into tho nearest stall, and
showing him a ball of white Huff
colled up In a deep bed of hay. "Jin't
Dim lovely?"
Dlek Aylmer groaned within 1.1m
self; ho hud fallen from a paradise
of tcndernes.H to tho comparative per
sonality of a eat commonplace even
though It was a Persian rat which
bore tho namo of Lorna Doono, and
sho loved It.
It was n beautiful cat without doubt,
and It turned Its head back at tho
sight of Dorothy, and purred loudly,
and with evident satisfaction.
"I want to know Just what you
think of her," said Dorothy to Dick
"truly and honestly. Don't flatter me
about her. Lorna and I don't like
flattery we want to know the truth
about ourselves the brutal truth If
you will, but truth at any price. Now
what do you think of her?"
"I can't seo her properly,'' answered
Dick.
"Lorna dearie, got up nnd show
yourself off," said Dorothy to tho cat;
then finding that the great white Per
sian did not move, she turned her out
of her bed, and took tho four kits Into
her own lap.
"I think sho 13 lovely," said Dick.
"Isn't sho nn enormous size?"
"Immense," Dorothy answered, "and
a great beauty too."
By this time Dick had begun to
tickle Lorna Doonc's ear, and that
lady began to respond nfter the man
ner of cats when they aro not shy
that is to say, she had put her two
forepaws upon his knee as he sat on
tho bed of hay, and was vigorously
rubbing her checks, first one side nnd
then tho other, against his hand.
"Sho has taken to you," cried Do
rothy gladly.
"Of course she has; Lorna Doono
knows a good thing when sho sees
It." ho nnswered, laughing. "Besides,
why shouldn't she take to me?"
"Soma people don't llko cats," said
Dorothy, "especially men."
Sho had not forgotten how, the very
last tlmo ho was In the house, David
Stevenson had kicked her favorite out
of his way, not brutally or to hurt
her for David, whatever his faults,
was not a brute but because ho was
so Jealous of Dorothy that ho could
not enduro to sco her caro for any
thing. "How can you waste your love

on a brute of a cat?" he had burst out,
when Dorothy had caught up Lorna
and held hor to her cheek.
"Somo men hato cats a man who
comes hero sometimes loathes her,"
she said to Dick, and Dick know by a
sort of instinct who tho "somo ono"
was.
"Oh, somo men aro cross-grained
enough for anything," ho said good
naturedly ho could afford to bo good
natured, for ho had realized what thh
girl's real feelings for "aomo one"
were. "For my part, I must say I've
got a liking for a cat, but I should
hardly class a beauty llko this with
ordinary cats. Sho Is not only a beau
ty to look at, but sho Is evldontly af
fectionate, and and and she's yours,
you know."
"Tho tea Is wnltlng, Miss Dorothy,"
said Barbara, appearing at tho door
Just at that moment.
"Come," said Dorothy gently.
CHAPTER VI.
MAY como over
and seo you
again?" said Dick
to Miss Dlmsdalo,
when ho took
leavo of her that
afternoon.
"Oh, yos," sho
nnswered. Sho was
quite conquqered
by tho delightful
modesty of his
manner. "You will generally And us
in about four o'clock, for wo aro very
quiet people, and a fow tennis parties
or a danco or two nro all that Dorothy
see3 of life. Somotlmes I wish that
It was different; but old trees, you
know," with a smile, "aro dlllrcult to
transplant."
"And Miss Dorothy docs not look as
if sho found lifo nt Gravelelgh insup
portable," said Dick, with delicate
flattery.
"No; Dorothy l'i n good girl," MIsb
Dlmsdalo replied' In a tendor under
tone, and then tho gavo a little sigh

It
could 111 can.
Well, after this It very soon becarro
an established custom that Dick should
llnd his way over to Gravolplgh rA
least twice in every week, and boiuc
tlmes Miss Dlmsdalo asked him to
stu.: to share their dinner, for she
was a woman of very hoopltablo nn
ture, though sho was quiet nnd some
what stiff In manner, nnd a little old
fashioned In her Ideas. And although
David Stevenson hud nil her wishes on
his side, she really grew to like Dlek
tho better of tho two. for Dick was
gcntlo and kind In his manner to
each and nil alike, content to let his
wooing do Itself If the truth between
you and me bo told, happy In the
present, and a little Inclined to leavo
the future to be ns long the future as
might bo because of the terrible, old
uncle In the background. Then, too,
thoro was always priMont In his mind
tho knowledge that, sooner or later, ho
would havo to make a clean breast of
his Identity to Miss Dlmsdalo and to
Dorothy, and to cast himself upon
their mercy as regards the deception
which had really been no fault of his,
and to persuade them to consent to a
secret marriage. And whenever poor
Dick reached this point In his reflec
tions, ho Invariably gavo a groan of
utter despair, for ho had a dreadful
foreboding that never, never would
Dorothy's aunt give even the most re
luctant consent to anything of the
kind.
So tho sweet autumn dnys skipped
over September died nnd October was
born, lived Its nlloted time, nnd In turn
passed away, and wintry November
came In. The last tinted leaves fell
from tho trees of tho great oaks and
horso chestnuts, and the tall poplars
which shrouded the hall were now but
gaunt nnd shivering skeletons, only a
memory of their old luxuriance nnd
glory. But to Dorothy Strode tho bare
nnd leafless trees wero moro beautiful
than they wore cither In their summer
gowns of green or in nil tho many
hued loveliness of their autumn frocks,
for to Dorothy all tno world was light
ed and beautlfled by tho warmth nnd
flro of radiant love better to her the
leafless branches of November with
lovo than tho fairest blooms of spring
time Into which lovo hud not yet como.
During this autumn sho had seen
but little of her old admirer, David
Stevenson. He had gono to the Hall
once or twice aftor ho know that "tho
man from Colchester" had becomo n
frequent visitor there gono with a
savago assertion of his rights as an
old friend and a life-long Intimate of
tho house. But when ho found that
Miss Dlmsdale had, as ho put It, "gono
over to tho enemy," he gave up oven
that much Intercourse, and gavo all
his energies to his farming, content,
as ho told himself, to bldo his time.
At last about tho mlddlo of Novem
ber when half tho ofllcers of tho regi
ment wore on leavo, and soldiering
and Colchester allko wero as Hat and
dull as ditch water, Dick Aylmer got
into his dog-cart nnd turned tho
horso's head toward tho big gates.
"Hullo, Dick!" called out a brother
officer to him, "where nro you going?"
"Oh, a drive," returned Dick prompt
ly. "Oh, a drive," repeated tho othor,
noting tho evasion Instantly trust a
soldier for that. "Got any room for a
fellow?"
"Tako you as far as tho town if
you like," snld Dick good-naturedly.
"No, nover mind," answered tho oth
tr. "I'll walk down with Snooks pres
ently." "Didn't want a lift, you know," ho
explained to Snooks, who In pollto so
ciety was known as Lord William
Veryl, "but I did want to find out
whero old Dick was going. But Dick
was ready for me, and as closo as
wax."
"Yes, I know tried It on myself
with him tho other day," said Snooks
reflectively. "Dick Informed mo ho
was making a careful study of mare's
nests for the benefit of the British As
sociation." (To bo continued.)

Huxley, for tho hotter appreciation of
which It may bo added that tho "sweet
ness and light" of which Mr. Arnold
wrote woro exemplified In his own very
airy and charming manners: I some
times met Huxley in company with
Matthew Arnold, and nothing could
moro delightful than tho conversation
elicited by their contrasted Individual
ities. I remember a walk which I
onco took with them both through tho
pleasant grounds of Paris Hill, whero
Mr. Arnold's cottage was. Ho was
asking Huxley whether ho liked going
out to dinner parties, and tho professor
answered that as a rulo ho did not llko
it at all. "Ah," said Mr. Arnold, "I
rather llko It. It Is rather nlco to meet
people." "Oh, yes," replied Huxley,
"but wo nro not all such everlasting
cuplds as you aro!"

of which both his legs had to bo ampu

FIERCE FIGHT
Spearflsh, S. D., Dec. 18. Whllo re
turning from a hunt In tho valleys
near this city Hnrvey Wood had a very
closo round with a big buck which ho
attempted to shoot. Ho had nearly
reached tho city, when ho Baw in a
deep gulch tho head and shoulders of
a deer. Ho had ten cartridges in his
rlflo and fired, at sight, eight of them,
which seemed to have dono deadly
work.
Mr. Wood started on the run toward
tho wounded animal, firing the two
remaining shells on tho way. As soon
as ho got through tho dense under
brush ho found tho animal waiting for
a charge, which was made forthwith.
The hunter dropped his rlflo nnd grab
bed n club, and tho combat began in
earnest. Several times Mr. Wood was
barely saved from death by dodging
behind a tree.
In tho fight Mr. Wood dropped his
hat and tho buck Btoppcd long enough
to mako nn attempt at goring It, which
fc-avo tho hunter a chance to deal tho
animal a blow over the left eye, which
tlosed it. Mr. Wood thought tho deer
and epidermis, tho latter apparently
being mado up of cells. Tho cutis has
largs cavities among tho nerves, which
nro commonly filled with pigment nnd
nro very sensitive, contrasting and ex
panding in a rcmnrkablo way. Tho
pigment cells nro called chromato
phores and vary In color In different
animals and in tho parts of each ani
mal, and may bo red, brown, green,
yellow, black, or various shades. The
color of tho chromatophores appears to
chango during contraction or expan
sion and constitutes a most compll-
catod and delicate study. Thus, In a
llttlo llsh (Goblim Ruthenspurri),
Ilclncke, the German naturalist, while
watching Its yellow pigment colls, biw
them gradually expand nnd becomo
black.
These cells nie distributed nil over
the body with more or less regularity,
nnd upon their contraction and ex
pansion depends tho prevailing color of
tho animal. Thus, If the pigment cells
or chromatophores expand, tho prevail
ing color will becomo black and tho
very light spots In the animal dull.
On the other hand, If they contract, a
reverse effect obtains. Exactly how
thine wonderful changes In all anlmnls
which adapt themselves to their
environments nro produced Is not
known, but It is nfisumed that certain
colors through tho medium of tho optic
nerve produce contraction or expan
sion, nnd the result Is 11 protective tint
or 0110 which assimilated that upon
which tho animal Is resting. Tho
eye receives the stimulus or Impres
sion, which passes from the optic
nerve to the sympathetic nerve, so
reaching tho various scries of chroma-tophorcH.
ANCIENT POLITICAL "RINGS.'
Homo Olil-Tliiin bi'lii-iiim for YVoiilth nnil
t'orr.
Tho evil of monopolies and rings was
known to ancients, Aristotle referring
to them In his "Politics," nnd then, ns
now, It was found necessary to hold
them In check by legislation, says lxiu
don Answers. Tho monopolist wns In
Roman called a Dardauarlus and pun
ished under tho Lex Julia du Auuona.
Monopolies of clothing, fish nnd all ar
ticles of food wero prohibited by tho
Emperor Zeno under pain of confisca
tion nud oxllu; bo that it Is certain that
the "rings" of tho ancient dnys were
as mischievous as they aro now. At
Athens a law limited tho amount of
corn a man might buy. Tho earliest
recorded Instance we havo was a corn
"ring." There Is an ancient tradition
that the king who made Joseph his
prime minister and committed Into his
bauds the cntlro administration of
Egypt was Apcpl. Apopl was ono of
shepherd kings and ruled over tho
whole of Egypt, ns Joseph's Pharaoh
seems to have done. Tho prlmo min
ister, during seven years of rcmnrkablo
plenty, bought up every bushel of corn
beyond tho absolute needs of tho
Egyptians nnd stored It. During tho
terrible fnmlno that followed ho was
able to get his own prlco nnd bnrtcrcd
corn successively for tho Egyptian
money, cnttlo and land; and talcing
one-fifth for Phnraoh mado him su
premely wealthy. It waB not merely a
provident act, but a very politic ono,
his policy being to centrallzo power in
tho monarch's hands.

WOMEN'S CLUBS.
Ono Hundred Thnuiniiit of the dentl
Hex In Amorlcii Are Meinliorn.
Tho last decado of this wonderful
nineteenth century has witnessed a
rcmnrkablo nnd far-reaching move
ment, tho gathering Into ono great
organization of a rapidly Increasing
number of women, without regard to
class or creed, for tho social, Intellec
tual and moral advancement of hit
mnnlty, says Llpplncott's. Tho Gen
eral Federation of Women'B Clubs waa
formed at a meeting called by Sorosls
in Now York city In May, 1880. Ita
phenomenal growth Is perhaps best
realized by tho consideration of a fow
cold statistics gathered from tho ro
port of tho corresponding secretary at
the third biennial of tho federation,
held in Louisville last May. From
this report It appears that tho 353
clubs and four stato federations rep
resented two years ngo have Increased
to 493 clubs and twenty-one stato fed
erations, tho latter Including over 800
club3. There are, therefore, In round
numbers, cxcluslvo of mnny smaller
organizations with a similar purpose,
which, for economic or other reasons,
havo not yet Joined the general fed
eration, 1,300 clubs, embracing a mem
bership of 100,000 women. In this
might host nro many of our boat
and brightest women from the rocky
shores of Malno to tho Golden Gato,
from tho mountains of Idaho to thf
Florida keys.

SOME ADVICE.
Don't forget-that" men who marry
widows never make miss-takes.
Don't Judge men by their looks. Fast
looking men aro often slow pay.
Don't meet trouble half-way. It if
capablo of making tho eutlro jour
noy.
Don't think for a moment that the
of 11 co ever has to seek the man on pay
day.
Don't bother yourself as to a man'i
