No one know It hut I. and 1 was nobody. Hut 1 thought us much of Harold as ever a human being could think of another , and I know ( lint ho was wronged , and 1 felt that Mr * . Knitting had done a dreadful thing /wlion liho took Squire Halstod for her Keeond husband and let him rule her , take possession of her money and 111 use her handsome liny. I had had my share of It. too. for while Mi1 , folding lived and while she was a widow I was like a daughter of the house. Hut no sooner had she come bad ; from her honeymoon tri ! > \lmii all that was tillered. The squire looked at mo coldly , and 1 heard him ask Mrs. llalsted who 1 was. "Her mother died when she was born , " Mrs. llalsted said , "and I took the baby to my own nursery , where Harold lay In the cradle. " "More fool yon , my dear , " said the squire. "The father went away. " said Mrs. llalsted , "and was lost at sea. so they said , and I kept the little girl. " "Yon must remember that she will need to earn her own bread , " said the squire. "She Is4 not a lady. Let the cervants keep her In their part of the house and teach her her duties as waitress. " "Oh. Mr. Ilalsted ! " cried the bride. "I cannot do that. " "My dear. " said Mr. llalsted , "I am master here. " The poor lady was helpless. She had no longer any control of her own money. I was six years old , Harold the same age , and a terrible life we had had of It. I was very well used In the kitchen , but I felt cast down and Jnerrftflful 1 ii'nra hlrr nrnnli nnrmm that covered me from head to foot In- utead of my pretty muslin and silk dresses. I was delicate , and waiting Is hard work when your wrists are slender. Mrs. llalsted did all she could for me. I used to hear her pleading with the squire to let her send me to a boarding school to learn to he a teach er , but he called her a "Uttle goose , " and she fancied him very wise. But for Harold I should never have known anything , ns after school he wscd to come to mo and teach me vhat he had learned himself. Cook would whisper : "That's right. Master Harold , It's a peed deed you ore doing. God spare you. I was never taught to rade me- elf , on account of an evil minded step father Iv me own that put me to sarv- ice before 1 could get schoolln' , an' I know the loss. " And not a servant but would have waited In my place , for they said I was too small to carry dishes ; but the ruel squire would have me come in to make sure that he was obeyed. Mrs. Halstod really felt badly about k , I know. But two little girls came POOH , and then a little boy , and soon she cared nothing for her own splendid boy , and why should she care for me ? But I am wandering away from the morning when Harold Uobling. Just eighteen that day , walked down the garden path In the gray morning light , and I with him. choking down my sobs. For now the one being I loved was going away from me perhaps for ever. It was only 5 o'clock , and no one was up. The grass was wet with dew. and there were only n few pink streaks hi the sky to tell that day was coming. We did not dare to speak until we got out of hearing of the house. "Goodby , little sister. " he said ; "good- by , Dora , my pet. Keep up a good heart and never forget to answer my letters. " And he was off. and I went home weeping as though my heart would break. There was a terrible time at the house when they found he was gone , and the squire swore he should never enter his doors again. But the squire's daugh ters , who hated Harold as their father did. though he was their own mother's child , said they were glad he was gone , and only I remembered him. I think , very long. A weak woman was Mrs. llalsted , and her husband had got her under his power. The way he man aged her has always made me think that there must be something In mag netism or hypnotism. She seemed to have lost her senses or to have grown mentally blind , and he led her where he would. Just about this time I fell very 111 , and when I grow better the squire , knowing I was good at my needle , made a seamstress of me. I was ashamed to say why , but It Is because I looked rather stylish and was called pretty , and so many questions were asked me by guests. As a seamstress I could stay In my upper room and work. I was so thankful for the change. Now I could read a little and he more to my self. I made the finery for the young ladles of the family , and no one trou bled me. Once. Indeed , a rich old gentleman , having somehow got my story from good old cook , sought me out and made me a proposition of marriage , saying It was a shame that such an elegant woman - man should live as I did. But I thank ed him and declined his offer. I was not unhappy now , except that I pined for news of Harold ; for In nil these years no word had come from him none of those lettes he had promised. 1 felt sure he was not dead , and It was very natural that he should for got to write ; hut my heart had no rest He nis twenty-six years old by thlt time , and In all that time much might have happenul. My pillow was often wet with tean from thoughts of hlm-faneles oflml he had sulYeied and longing to met I him or only see him from afar but onee again. At last news came. Mrs. came running Into my room wild with J y. y."News "News of tu.v boy ! " she said , holding a letter toward me. " 1 thought you had forgotten all ubout him , madam , " 1 said. 1 was sorry the next moment , for she burst Into tears and faltered through her sobs : "You doh't know what It Is to be the wife of a man who dominates your will ! 1 never have forgotten or ceased to regret other things. " Then she wip ed her eyes and said : "Hut , as far as Harold goes , It Is all over , lie has written to me. lie Is rich really rich. He has made a fortune In California , and he Is coming home to see me. lie Is In New York and will be here tomor row. The squire Is pleased ; the girls are wild to see him ; his little brother Is delighted. " She ran out of the room again , lookIng - Ing young and happy , and I sat doun to my machine , swallowing a great lump that had risen In my throat. He had not written to me. Well , 1 was only a servant , ami ho was a rich man now. They were rejoicing In hlh coming for that reason the squire and his children. lie was a very different person from ( lie poor Harold Holding who went away. "I expect he will give us lots of pres ents , " 1 heard one of the girls say. "An older hrothci who Is rich Is a great thing to have. We must pet him and make him good naturcd. " "Oh. yes , " Mild the other. "When girls have as stingy a father as we have a generous elder brother Is a godsend. " And I oh ! If he returned In rags , begging his bread , I should have wel comed him. I cared for him , not for his money. And If he had returned poor It was I to whom ho would have written , I knew well. But I tried to put the selfish thoughts away and re joice for his sake that he had pros pered , even If he had forgotten his little sister JJora. The morrow came. As I sat at my machine I heard the sounds below that told he had arrived. I heard his mother cry out and the squire say heartily , "Welcome home , my boy ! " and his sisters squeal and giggle after n way they had. Then the great drawing room doors were closed , shutting me out. out.I I , who loved him so dearly , went back to my room alone , uncared for , wretched ! I felt as though my heart would break. I could no longer keep back my tears. Half an hour pushed ; then some one canvc to the door a servant who told me briefly that 1 was wanted In the parlor. Trembling , quivering , feeling ns I had never felt before , I obeyed the summons. I opened the drawing room door. The squire stood before the fire , Im portant as usual , one hand In the breast of his coat , the other waving toward me as he uttered these words : "Dora , I have sent for you because Master Harold has returned and wish es to meet a faithful servant of the family. " But before the words were out of his mouth Harold , handsomer and lar ger , but the same for all that the very Harold that I knew rushed forward and took both my hands and bent down and kissed me. "I told you , sir. " ho said , "that I wanted to see Dora , the dearest being alive to mo ! Such words as you utter I cannot permit you to speak as though they were mine. You have never re ceived any of my letters , Dora , but I have guessed why. " "I never have received a letter , Har old , " I answered. "So I thought , " said he. "We will not ask who kept them from you. I have no wish to quarrel with any one , but you were my only friend years ago when I went out Into the world home less and penniless , and I have come now to ask you to share with me the home that I can now offer to you. " "Share your home , Harold ? " cried the squire. "The girl Is not your sis ter. It can't be done. It would be Im proper ! " "I am glad , sir , that the girl Is not my sister , " replied Harold , "for she Is the girl I want for my wife , and here , before you all , I ask her for her heart and hand , and proud shall I be if she will give them to me. " I could not answer , but he saw all I felt In my face and led me away with him. him.There There was no quarreling. People like the squire and his family never offend rich people , and I am the happiest wo man living. MnkltiR the- Tonne Ovrl "Work. Apropos of the woodcock n certain man of deep powers of observation says that the big barn oivl lays only one egg at a time and after hatching that lays another , so that the first young bird may keep the second egg warm while its mother Is out foraging. Thus the entire family help In the hatching , for the head of the house Is often found sitting with his mate. From three to seven eggs are laid , and , as Incubation begins with the first one , wo can easily understand that young birds are found In the same nest with fresh eggs. Do you know any other parents that put their children to work as soon as they are born ? New York Press. Lout.

It Is curt , my lr.nl , and Indicates that the parties are now at arm's length ; but It Is not dlseoiKtcons , nor does It preclude the possibility of friendly private relations between the solicitors.

FLOWER AND TREE. A single leaf of the orange tree carefully - _ fully planted will often take root and' grow. Itosln and tallow In equal parts make an excellent covering for wounds In fruit trees. "Belting" a tree that Is , killing it by destroying the bark In a circle around the trunk Injures It for lumber. In transplanting trees all roots that have become bruised or broken should be cut clean away behind the broken part. A pan of water kept steaming In the stove will keep the atmosphere In good "condition for the growth of hoube plants during the winter. Trees should always be trimmed when young and growing In such a manner that there will be no necessity for cutting off large limbs. Wood mold , provided It is fine and free from coots and sticks , with the addition of n little well rotted compost , makes a splendid soil for the pots or boxes In which to grow the house plants In winter. Orchards generally produce full crops only every other year. This Is because the full crop of one year so exhausts the fruit producing qualities of the soil that It Is not able to make u full crop the next year. The intern lilt. "See that party with the jag sittins In the corner of the car ? " said a con ductor who was riding to the car barns In aMO ' and Eden park car to the con ductor In charge of the car. "Yep. He's got a heavy bundle , " was the answer. t "Well , take this counterfeit half dollar lar with you when you collect his fare. A passenger passed it on me a month ago. If he gives you a dollar , you can shove It on him. " The conductor of the car took the lead half dollar , entered the car , and the man with the jag held o\it a silver dollar and received the counterfeit half and 45 cents In change. "Worked like n charm , " said the con ductor as he reached the platform. "Here he comes now. lie wants to get off. " The drunken man wabbled to the door and unsteadily descended from the car. "Now we'll split ifp , " remarked the conductor of the car as he drew the dollar from his pocket. And as both of the conductors gazed at the sliver dollar they gasped In unison ; "We're up ag'In it ! It's a counterfeit dollar. " Cincinnati Inquirer. Elephant.

IMielpnVhlt - marsh , who for a time adopted HID calling of pearl Usher In Australian waters , tells this story of meeting submarine monster : "It was a muddy day , and every thing In consequence looked blurred and exaggerated. In the yellowdlstnnco I saw an Immense dark object moving slowly toward me. As It came nearer I made out a central body with several great arms , or feelers , waving rhyth mically. My heart was In my mouth. "I felt sure It was an octopus. Then , when I wan about to stir up the mud nt my feet to avoid being seen , I dis covered that the enemy was nothing more ' .ban a fellow diver. The feelers I had Imagined were .Ida arms , tegs and lines. "A shadowy giant about 12 feet high , with huge hands and n head like a small barrel , was approaching. He walked slowly , Ids heavy boots raising the mud behind him like a cloud of dun' , and hl.s great central eye gleamed darkly. Although I knew him to he n man , It was with dllllcully that I re frained from taking to my heels , At sight of me he , too , was startled , but he quickly recovered , and we shook hands. Then we nodded , grinned , showed each other the tftnte of our bags and parted. " A Jolly Pnm-riil. An Italian doctor named Louis Cor- timio , who died In the eighteenth cen tury , left Borne curious Instructions as to the manner of his burial. This gen tleman , by his will , forbade his rela tions to weep at his funeral on pain of being disinherited and appointed him or her who should laugh the longest and loudest the principal heir and leg atee. Not a ijtltcli of black was to bo displayed either In the house In which he should die or In the church In which he should be burled. They were both to bo strewn with flowers and green boughs on the day of his funeral. In stead of the tolling of bells lively mu sic was to accompany his body to the church , and 50 minstrels were to march with the clergy sounding their flutes , trombones and trumpets. The bier was to be carried by 11 ! marriageable girls clothed In green , to each of whom the testator bequeathed a sum of mon ey for her dowry. Lastly , no one In the procession was to wear black. All these orders were absolutely carried Into effect Household Words. Slrmv Uomi'MlinoN. Straw Is put to strange uses In Ja pan. Most of the horses are shod with I straw. Even the clumsiest of cart | horses wear straw shoes. In their case the shoes are tied around the ankles with siraw rope and are made of the ordinary rice straw , braided so that they form a sole for the foot about half an Inch thick. These soles cost about n half penny per pair , and when they are worn out they are thrown away. Every cart has a stock of fresh new shoes tied to the horse or to the front of the cart , and In Japan It was formerly the custom to measure dis tance largely by the number of horse shoes It took to cover the distance. So many horseshoes made a day's Jour ney , and the average shoe lusted for about eight miles of travel. The Lolmtor. A scientist has entered a protest against the use of the term "lobster" ns an epithet Implying lack of skill or courage. He says that lobsters on the Nova Scotlan coast draw up In battle array and tight for hours according to thoroughbred rules , the coast being lit tered with claws and other evidences of dismemberment when the struggle Is over.

In a cemetery on the banks of the St. Lawrence river , near Prcscott , is an epitaph saying that the stone was "erected to the memory of Elizabeth lUchurdson , who heroically defended the life of her lover by sticking u pitchfork In a mad cow's nose.
