ETERalllameo-ing-'to
marry Lu
cile. It is more
than a year since
poor Eobethon
died, and per
haps I am a don
key to do it, at
my time of life;
bnt she is un
questionably a
charming' wo
man. She made him happy, and I
am afraid I am a foal. I feel however,
as though I owed it almost to his
memory, and something to her, too.
Tes, there is no doubt, I owe her
something in that line and yet, good
heavens! I am not doing it on that ac
count. I love her, desperately, down
to the ground.
Dick," she said to me yesterday,
looking straight at me with her won
derful blue eyes "Dick, why do you
ask me now?"
"Better late than never," Ianswered.
Bhe began, "Five, six years ago you
and stopped.
"I know. I 'was a fool, Lucile. I
never once thought of it, though.
You see, the idea was foreign to me.
I never intended to marry."
And now?"
"With vour kind assistance, I do
Intend to."
Why?"
Her question almost bowled me
over. I gazed at the carpet, wonder
ing how I could best put it to her.
Presently I looked up. and as our eyes
met I blurted out, "because I love
yon, of course.
1 aid not mean to say mat, just
then; the truth is that the idea of
Teparation" had got sole possession
of my brain, and how to express it
graveled me.
Lucile laughed lightly. "That,
Dick, is a second thought, and not a
bad one for a man offering himself as
a husband. Still, I want your first"
"I was thinking that, love aoart,
you have amoral claim upon me."
A great wave of color rose and fell,
leaving her beautiful face pate as
marble. A claim really? A moral
claim. Why moral? Why not ma
terial? When I turn huckster, Dick,
I will traffic only for gold."
I saw what she meant. Love's gifts,
being no impoverishment of love, en
tail no indebtedness upon the recipient.
Love is paid for its gift in the giving.
This, I thought, was a counsel of per
fection, and better suited to angels
and angelic loves than to men and
women in an earthly, highly conven
tional and British society.
And that is why you wish to marry
me?" she added.
I felt that I was on thin ice. "No,
darling, it is not. I love you. There's
no harm in that, I hope?"
No, not a bit It is a very good
reason. Genuine, Dick?"
"Quite, on my honor."
"The honor of an English general
more, of an English gentleman more
still, of a well-tried friend that is
good enough for me. Here's my hand
on it, Dick."
That was only yesterday; it seems
twenty years ago Poor Robethon
he knew little. I do not think I was
to blame. I acted loyally enough by
him. It was like this, you see. Rob
ethon and I were pretty close friends.
I spent much of my time at my clubs,
and at one or other of them I was
always coming across Robethon. The
taste fpr chess was mutual, and was
the ground of our first acquaintance.
We were about the same age, heading
fast for fifty; he was short and stout,
I was long and lean. I had been all
over the world, while he had never
been outside of England; sometimes I
fancied he had never been outside of
London. If he had he was careful to
conceal the fact We were both bach
elors; his chambers were close to St
James street, mine to Piccadilly; we
never visited each other, though. He
was partner in a well-known firm of
bankers, but had not entered their
place of business for twenty years.
He had read a world beyond me and
was a gentle, sympathetic, clean
souled gentleman.
I wish I could say as much truth
fully of myself; no false modesty
should keep me from writing it down.
Still Robethon cared for me and I am
deuced sure I cared for him. His ret
icence was characteristic of the man;
it was like a suit of steel armor cov
ering him from head to foot Some
times I think it was fundamentally
shyness not of the ordinary kind, of
which there was not a trace about
him, but deep spiritual shyness
On the other hand it might
have been due to an austere
selectnesb of spirit, a sensitive, deli
cate pride of souL The club men held
him in great esteem, in a manner were
proud of him, considered him an au
thority on disputed points of honor
and the like, and accepted his judg
ment with docility and reverence.
One day I met a lady on Pall Mall,
tall, fair, straight as a dart, and with
a face that fell on me like a vision. I
turned and watched her, and while so
doing she suddenly halted, turned
round and came towards me. I stood
still. In passing she gave me a mo
mentary glance. Ha, she was very
lovely!
A month ot six weeks later there
was a reception at a certain foreign
embassy and I happened to be pres
ent It was not my kind of thing at
all, but I chanced to be an old ac
quaintance of the ambassador in ques
tion. There was a big crowd and
dancing was in full swing. Passing
by the ballroom, I stood for a moment
to watch the dancers. The first thing
I saw was the lad' of Pall Mall, glori
ously arrayed, waltzing with a Ger
man. "Who is she?" I asked of a man I
knew.
"Which one?
phony of color
Oh, that divine sym
there, eh? That is
Mrs. TrenchanJ."
"And who is Mrs. Trem-hard?"
He shook his head. "She's a widow;
that's all I know. S!u is in the swim;
wonder you haven't met her before. I
have, half a dozen time, l.ut I live up
to my principles, of whi -h the first is
Thou shalt no. do anything in this
widow-line."
I left him grinning; I could have
kicked him without any.-, lemor&c.
From another man I gleaned that

Her people were all dead, shrwas a

none too much money, she 'was very
popular, and verv correct, and
would I like an introduction? Five
minutes later I made mv first bow to
the divine symph ny. She was glori
ously generous, gave herself to me for
ten whole minutes, and when I with
drew she murmured, with a graeious
ness that -eemed regal, "Perhaps we
shall meet again "
Wc did meet, again and again. Our
acquaintance ripened into friendship,
and finally into very c'ose intimacy.
I saw her at least ever-.- week. This
went on for three or four years. Be
tween me and Robethon she was a for
bidden subject L knew it would only
pain him: For the same reason I
never mentioned R')bethou'sBame to
her.

pearl of great price. I am living bow
in Grosvenor Gardens. We are having
a few friends in to-night a very few.
You will come, won't you? I waat
yon to know my wife."
"With all the pleasure is the world.
Bat it is like a dream."
He laughed like a man on the right
tide of the hedge as he said, "Yes; it
is like a dream, a beautiful dream.
Come as early as yoa can."
I think I felt a trifle hurt that such
a revolution in his domestic economy
should have occurred without him in
forming me of it, bat I was none the
less carious to see the woman who
made so notable s capture; in these
days it is the men and not the women
who are captured. I was very punc
tual; the rest of the folk were, of
course, late. Robethon met me in the
coat-room. "Bagot," he said, "this is
very good of you. I've been thinking
I ought to have told you sooner; but -I'll
tell you how it happened, and all
about it, at the club."
"Meanwhile, Robethon, one word.
Are-you happy?"
"As a king."
"No secret regrets, ch?"
"Not the ghost of one. She is per
fect Come, you must see her."
Arm in arm we entered the drawing
room. She was alone. I saw a vision
of amber-colored silk and fluttering
lace and heard him say: "Lucile, this
is my dear friend, General Bagot"
Then, for the first time I saw her
face. It was my own fair lady of Pall
Mall! What she felt I do not know.

'OS Mr HONOR.
"Good God!" broke involuntarily from
my lips, and I had just sense enough
to turn to Robethon and tell him, in
an aside, that a sudden and awful
twinge of gout had seized me. Wo
men, being born intriguers, are nim
ble witt'd by nature and acquirement
AVhen our eyes met a second time the
lady was perfectly self-possessed and
instinct with sympathy over my dread
ful gout
The attack was soon over.
The dinner, I believe, was good and
the company smart and lively people.
My anecdotes went off like champagne
corks, and I fancy I created for myse f
a reputation for brilliancy, which,
happi.y, I do not fe?l it my duty to
liveup to. For myself, I do not know
what I said, did, ate, drank or thought
I was in a maze. Later in the even
ing I saw her alone for five minutes.
"By all that's wonderful, Lucile,
what does it mean?" 1 asked.
"Just what you sea I am Mrs.
Robethon," she answered, fluttering
her fan.
"But he is my friend. Not for
worlds would I"
"No, it would be awkward,"
"Awkward! Listen, Lucile. The
curtain being down, there are some
plays may never be revived."
She looked steadily at me for some
moments. Then she said: "That is
true. If I had thought only of my
self, Dick, it would have been I, and
not you, who would have been the
first to say, 'There are some plays may
never be revived."
"Forgive me! I know it But"
"Not another word. We are alike
in our thought of him. We will be
loyal to him to the end. Still, we are
friends, Dick, all the same."
And now my turn has come. Poor
Robethon has gone, and. after all, I
am going to marry Lucile. What an
odd world it is!
A SHOOTING MATCH.
Why
the Man With the Winchester
Didn't Llkn Such, Things.
As I rode quickly along the rank
of Poor Fork, just where the Pine
mountains begin to let it over to
where it joins the Cumberland river,
I was stopped by a man sitting on
the fence with his arm in a sling and
a Winchester in his lap. says a writer
in the Detroit Free Press.
"How d'y," he said; "did you como
by Brown's?"
"Do you mean the cross roads back
here about five miles?" I asked, much
surprised that a mountaineer should
ask me a question first
"Yes. that's tho place."
"I stopped there to have a man
nail a shoe on my horse "
Hear um say anything about a
shootin' match thar yistiddy?"
"I heard them say there had been
one."
"I heerd so, too, and I war anxious
to find out if it war so. Did you hear
who the shooters wuz?"
"I don't remember the names, but
they said only one of the men had
been shot"
"Not killed, I reckon?"
"No: he was shot in the body, they
thought, but he got away before they
found out how much he was hurt, or
just where."
"This is a dogon funny country for
shootin matches, ain t it?" he asked
with a short laugh.
"It looks that way," I replied,
cautiously. "Personally, however, I
don't thiuk I would enjoy them."
"Well, that depends, mister, on
who gits shot."
"Perhaps it does, but you don't
mean to say you enjoy that kind of
thing, do you?"
"I reckon I didn't enjoy that one
yestiddy."
Whyr" I asked in surprise, "you
were not the.e, were you?"
"Yes. I wuz peekin' 'round a bit"
"And why didn't you enjoy it if you
staid to see it?"
He laughed and held out his band
aged arm.
"I wuz the feller that got Bhot,"
he said, and I could at least under
stand why he hadn't enjoyed that
one.

Roots for Sheep.
The crying need of our great sheep
industry is a better mixed food ration
than is generally supplied by own
ers, and more protection from the in
clemency of the weather. There is
no country on the globe that is go
ing to surpass the United States for
sheep-raising, and the 'interests in
this line are already of such impos
ing magnitude that it is almost the
leading farm industry. It is not
only wool-raising that makes tho
work so valuable, but in many parts
of the country adjacent to good mar
kets owners of sheep are doubling
their incomes by raising superior
mutton for tho market as well.
Breeds of sheep are being raised
which will supply excellent mutton
and good wool. The wool, of course,
is not so good as the finest, grown
by those who raise sheep only for
this, but it is of such a character
that it is In fair demand at-reasonable
prices.
Sheep are naturally hardy, and
they can thrive off poorer food and
with less protection than most farm
animals, but it docs not follow from
this that they do not improve under
good treatment and repay the owner
for any extra outlay expended on
them. On the contrary it has been
pretty well demonstrated in many
parts of this country that sheep re
quire good food and good care if they
are to be very profitable. The
.grumbling generally comes from
those who expect the animals to
shift for themselves and make an in
come for their owners, while they do
nothing. This is more than can be
expected. It is necessary to look
ahead and see that food, and good
food, is prepared for the sheep the
year around, and also goal shelter.
Formerly ehecp raisers never
thought of sowing and harvesting
crops for the '"animals, says tho
Economist. They were supposed to
get a living some how on the prairies
and among the mountains. But it is
pretty poor economy to attempt that
sort of thing nowadays.
We need to grow crops for our
sheep and to supply them with a
mixod ration a diversified food. In
this ration roots play a most im
portant part They supply the
amount of wator which all animals
need when fed dry food, and dry food
must be fed in the winter time.
They should be grown oxtensivcly
for winter use, and should then be
cut or mashed so that they can bo
mixed with the hay, bran, oats or
mill feed. These roots will prevent
stomach troubles and mike the
animals gain more from their solid
food than if not given at all. It does
not answer to make them tako co
pious draughts of water with their
meals, for this washes down a great
deal of the food without being
digested and assimilated. The ie3ult
is, there is a decided wadte. Roots
are also nourishing and they are of
great value to ewes when giving
milk. Sugar-bocts, mangols. ruta
bagas, and turnips are a'l of
inestimable value to tho flock, and
they should be raised for winter use
in season, if sheep diseases are to bo
avoided.
Mixed feeds for sheep are always
superior to plain foods, and they
should always be given when pos
sible. It is in the mixed food that
roots attain their greatest value, for
they make the mixture more di
gestible. By giving a certain
amount of mixed food each day
regularly, with roots included, it is
estimated that one saves fully twenty
per cent in food; or, in other words,
eighty per cent, of mixed food is
equal to 100 per cent of plain.
Oil of fea-tfra.
John E. Robinson, in a Southern
exchange, says: My plan, which. I
think, is used by no breeder, has
never failed rae incompletely ridding
my fowls of every in t, and has
demonstrated to me its la allibility.
It is simply the use of oil of sassa
fras mixed with sweet oil, and apply
a small quantity to different parts of
tho body of the fowl, selecting those
points where tho vermin would be
most apt to hide. In applying the
preparation I fill with it a small oil
can, so that I can force out as much
or as littlo of tho oil as I wish. A
very small bit can be made to go a
great ways, for one drop can
be rubbed over two or three
inches of space, and is not more
troublesome' to apply than the various
insect powders. I use sweet oil
because of its curative powers, but
any kind of grease no matter what,
will do to mix with tho oil of sassa
fras. The oil of sassafras is the
eradicator, the other merely tho ve
hicle, i believe common sassafras
tea would bo wonderfully efficacious.
Make it in a largo pot, then, after
allowing it to cool, dip tho fowls in
bodily. In one second the lice will
be dead, and in ten seconds the fowl
will be perfectly dry, if placed in the
sunshine. It is hard to form an idea
of the magical effect produced by the
oil of sassafras. I have never tried
the remedy in greater attenuation
than that mentioned (one to five or
six), but I believe that it would be
equally good if composed of one
ounce of oil of sassafras to ten or
twelve of any other oil or grease.
Simple Weather G!ii
An authority in chemistry gives
directions for making a simple
weather glass: Take a glass tube
about ten inches in length and one
in diameter, fill it nearly up to the
top with tho following liquid: Two
parts camphor, one part nitrate of
potash and one part sal ammonia,
dissolved in strong spirit of wine;
then add water until you have par
tially" precipitated the camphor. The
extremity of the tube can be left
open or hermetically closed. The
glass tube thus prepared is then fixed
in a horizontal position against a
wall or a board. The changes in tho
weather are thus indicated: J. If the
weather is to be fine the composition
of the substances will remain entire
ly at the bottom part of the tube and
the "above liquid will be perfectly
clear and transparent 2. Before
the weather changes to become rainy
the precipitate will rise by degrees,
and moving crystallizations, similar
in shape to stars, will be seen. 3.
When a storm is imminent, the pre
cipitate will neatly all rise to the
top of the tube, assuming the shape
of the leaf, or an assemblage of crys
tals; the liquid will appear to bo in
a Ltate of effervescence. This change
very often takes place twenty-four
hours before the cbanga in the
weather. 4- 'I ho side from which
the wind will blow in a squall will
e also indicated through the direc
tion Qd the elevation of tfe crya-
Z.
tallizatiea in the tube, tho crystal
lization always forming on the side
from which the wind will blow. 6.
In the winter season the crystalliza
tion will maintain itself higher in
the tube; snowy and freezing weather
are also indicated by the particles of
the substance .floating in the liquid
and assuming tho shape of long,
hairy needles. Farmers Voice.
To Make a Corn Cattln? Machine.
We see a great many different
cutters in tho market, but they all
cost too much money. Among our
home made ones, some of our farmers
i take the wheels off of their corn
planters and with a wheel that works
on a pivot in front they can make a
cutter that one horse can pull two
men- without much labor. But the
sled is mostly used and it pulls heavy
with two men on. We can get along
faster to have a sled for each man.
I tako a two by tix scantling twolvo
feet long, make my sled six feet long;
I make the sled narrow enough to go
between tho rows; I fasten tho knife
on the right liand of tho sled. Take
a board two inches wide and five feet
long and sharpon one end; tho other
end I fasten to the back end of
the sled. Fa -.ten this board slant
ing enough so tho sharpened
end will project about fifteen inches
from the sido of tho front end; this is
to catch up tho corn that may be
down; by taking a small limber polo
and fastening it to this board near
tho end that is sharp and then put
ting a standard about three feet high
on tho back end of the sled and
fastening this polo to the top of the
standard, when a stalk of corn is on
the ground the board will catch it
and this pole will bring the stalk up
to you; this will also keep anyone
from trying to pick Up a down stalk,
for it is dangerous to try to. For a
knife, a heavy scythe or an old hay
knife will do or any sharp tool ono
has to answer the purpose. Tho

Wliy Cowt titvo Down Milk.
To make a cow milk easily she
should bo kept as contented as possi
ble. If worried, there is suro to be
some ten ion of tho muscles which
retain the milk, and this holds it up.
Usually, a feed that the cow likes
will remove tho worry, and tho hold-ing-up
muscles will be relaxed. It
has oftn had this ofTcst on cjws that
wero worrying about the removal of
their calves. A cowVmatornal affec
tion is active, but her memory is not so
strong as to make hor think of her
calf while she is eating. If the
milker is careful, it is quito possible
that the cow may for tho time think

The secret of a savory soup lies in
many flavors. The vegetables, herbs,
and spices should bo left in the broth .
just long enough to cook them by
wlrch time all the flavor is extracted.
It is an injury to the soup to leave
them in any longer. Soups should
have all the vegetables and herbs
strained off before they are set away
otherwise they will soon become
acid.

Rains on manure wash out the

The reason that wood ashes are a

Im Imdia I oaee witnessed a moat re-
kabie akceohorieli-Tht kaaefroa. a
riaat flower called by natives "bed
awar." The flower was nearly six
inches im diameter and of a deep red
color, but with yellowish petals. My
attention was called to tho luminous
radiations of the beautiful plant bv a
guide, and we need to visit the garden
every morning two hoars before sun
rise to observe this fascinating specta
:1c. This waa during the months of
July and August The light, although
most brilliant in the morning' hours,
could also be discerned during twilight,
but not after total darkness came on.
This led me to believe that the light
was not emitted from the flower itself,
bnt that it was reflected. To determine
this I placed one of the Sowers in a
perfectly dark, that is light-tight room,
where I knew the air to bs perfectly
dark, and not the 4 faintest spark
could be seen. This might have been
caused by the broken stem, but I am of
the opinion that the light was reflected,
as it was quite intense and could be
seen at a distance of several feet When
viewed closely the petal resembled a
miniature incandescent electric lamp.

A little man asking how it happened
that many beautiful ladies took up with

fine offers, was thus aptly answered by
a mountain maiden: A young friend of
hers, during a walk, requested her to go
into a delightful canebrake, and there
get him the handsomest reed; she must
get it in once going throngh, without
turning. She went, and coming out,
brought him quite a mean reed. When
he asked if that was the handsomest
one she saw, "Oh, no," replied she, "I
saw many liner ones as I went along,
but I kept on in hopes of a much bet
ter, until I had gotten nearly through.
and then was obliged to select the best
that was left."

The Flrat English Slave Trader.
Sir John Hawkins was the first Eng
lish slave trader. He formed a com
pany composed of the leading men of
London and fitted out three small ships,
which sailed iu 1502. Later, Queen
Elizabeth lent Hawkins "Jesus." a
large ship of her own of TOO tons, and
took shares in the second African com
pany. She not only equipped the ship,
imt put 100 soldiers on board to provide
for contingencies. On the second voy
age Hawkins brought 400 ncgross, and
had a narrow escape from losing them
owing to the lack of water when lie
was near the equator, but, as he piously
recorded in his log, "The God Almighty
would not suffer his elect to pcrish.and
sent a breeze, which carried them safe
to Dominica." This was the beginning
of the slave trade, which lasted for
more than two centuries before it was
finally suppressed.
