was tried before Justice Spencer and

young man stepped from among the

a second graveled path, which tiuvers

on the noble fiee.

A ballroom. long and 1-ifty. hung with
Hags, festooned with woven autumn
leaves and frost-p,:iuted vines, embow
ered with evergreen shrubs and sap
lings and decorated with llowcr.-j.
It was the last hop of the season, and
almost every guest of the hotel and the
connecting cottages had graced the oc
casion with hers or his presence.
Eugenie Varley. richly dressed in a
gown of si'ipolet-green aud ivry tint
ed gauze, a ruby necklace and brace
lets, and red roses trailing down her
bodice and skirts, looked handsome
and attractive to those who did not no
tie the malevolent expression of her
features, and the baleful eagerness of
her gleaming eyes.
"Revenge is sweet sweeter oven
than a lover's kises." she muttered be
tween her glittering white teeth. "And
to-night shall have full and ample ven
geance for all I have suffered through
Adr.ih (Jower. 1 have never had any

smiles, her saintly eyes, and. all tho
rest of it. while I have stood by forgot
ten. Oil. it has been intolerable: But
I'll soon let these people see what sort
of a person they have admired."
Meanwhile, in an upper chamber.
Ad rah (Jower was pacing slowly to and
fro. attired for the evening, but dread
ing -to enter the s'-ene of gayety lost
the single lnir should snap and Damo
cles fatal sword strike clown upon her
defenseless head.
What is more torturing for a young
girl, than to know that at any unfore
seen moment some event of her past
busy place I life may confront her and overwhelm
her with siiame.'
Riches may take to themselves wings
and tly away: but still she has friends
who esteem her.
Love may be false, but perhaps a
newer, truer love will blossom to
bless her life with its gladness and
glory.
But thN gho-st of a past error is in
satiable. The esteem which living
riches leaves it takes away. It robs
her of love and lover, and shuts her
out forever from a second paradise.
For what man honored and honor
able, would moat with a woman thus
branded before the world with her
wrong-doing, or the wrong-doing which
has been ehirged against heri
At leat. the unhappy Adrah reason
ed thus.
"It" Bertie knew it he would despise
himself for loving me." she moaned.
"He would tear my memory out of
his heart: he would never allow my
name to b breathed in hi presence.
But I must tell him all! I must not de
lay longer. I must tell him. though I
die with shame at his dear feet!"
It ali passed lief ore her mental vis
ion like the shifting pictures of a ka-
loideosf.ipe as her memory reverted to
those bitter days.
tu re. she wondered how she had con
tinued to live without becoming a mad
woman. Luckily she had saved a modest lit
tle. stun of money from her earning,
and before that was spent ssoinotiiing
had happened which changed her way
of life entirely.
Her dead mother's only sister, a
wealthy, widowed, childless woman,
tired of domestic- loneliness in a far
western city. It ul sought out her to
adopt her as a child and heiress.
All this had occurred rather niore
than two year. ag . and yet even how
Adrah was not-quite eighteen.
During these (wo years', there wore
times when she forgot that one' agon
izing episode in her young life, or when
she only remembered it as one re
members a bad black dream which is
over and done forever.
She was amid new scenes and now
associations, and her aunt was affec
tionate and indulgent to her always.
She began to believe that Heaven
would permit her to be happy, and that
no ghost from the past would over dis
turb her present or threaten her future.
Then she met Bertie Elmar, and in
the rapture of loving and being loved,
it seemed to her life could hold no fur
ther joy or blessing.
In the midst of her peaceful happi
ness her aunt brought her to this
mountain resort where Eugenie Varley
chaii'-ed to be staying, and whither her
lover had proecded them a few weeks
before.
From that moment her days had
been ono unending agony of dread lost
Eugenie should noise abroad her piti
ful story.
She felt that Eugenie hated her. and
sh" often wondered why the girl kept
silent.
"Perhaps I have misjudged her. or
perhaps the thief has been detected."
she said to herself, when she finally
composed herself and descended to the
ballroom.
Tho grand march was just ended, and
a quadrille was being formed as she
entered with her aunt.
With her pale-gold hair and groat
black-lashed eyes of luminous gray,
with her lily face, her slim, stately fig
ure, and her exquisite gown of white
silk and silver gauze, without an orna
ment except the bunch of orchids at
her bodice, she was a rarely beautiful
picture.
Almost every eye in the groat room
was turned upon her.
It was Eugenie Varley's opportunity.
She stepped loftily forward just as a
distinguished gentleman was leading
Adrah away for the dance.
"Ladies and gentlemen." she said in
shrill tones, as she pointed one hand
to the lovely girl. "I object to tho pres
ence of this person; and I think you
will also when you are informed that
she is a thief. I happen to know that
she was discharged for theft from her
situation as governess a year or so ago.
I am astonished at her attempt to foist
herself upon society."
The silence after those words wis in
tense. In that profound hush the drop
ping of the proverbial pin would have
sounded like a charge of cannon almost.
In the inidt of it Bertie Elmar sud
denly stopped into view, followed by a
lady who still wore her traveling cape
and bonnet.
Tlie young man put 'one arm protect
ingly around the half-fainting Adrah,
and his frank blue eyes fairly blazed as
he turned his stern young face toward
her persecutor.
".Miss Varley," ho began, in a voice
ringing with indignation. "I chanced to
bo in the wood a few days ago. and I
overheard your plot to ruin this inno
cent girl. Since then I have been in
T'pper Ford village. And 1 have learn
ed that Mrs. Dupuy's money was stolen
by your own outcast broth -r. that you
were aware of the fact frm the first,
and that you tried to fix the guilt on
this poor clpld so nobody would sus
pect him. I have made it my business
to put tho real criminal behind prison
bars. I also have his oufession; and,
besides. Mrs. Dupuy is hero to corrobor
ate what I have stated."
At this splendid and complete indica
tion of the girl whom everybody had
loved and admired, there was a cheer
which fairly shook the great building
on its foundations of mountain rock.
Eugenie Varley tried to speak, but a
storm of hisses compelled her to stop;
the next moment she was in hysterics,
and one of the attaches of the hotel
conducted nor to her room.
No one noticed her; no ono thought of
her except with horror; and no ono
spoke of her except with contempt and
abhorrence. Her plot to ruin another
had indeed proved a boomerang, recoil
ing to destroy herself, just as young
Elmar predicted.
Beautiful Adrah was h "sl!ess of
everything and everybody ocept the
! noble young lover who had tailored so

not common to other typewriters,
hence the highest award was given to
the "Duplex" in recognition of its pe

gives to it a capacity for speed and
durability one hundred per cent greater
l than that of other machines, and that
j makes it possible for an operator of a

Typewriter experts and general
agents concede the great speed and
durability of the 'Duplex" and are ap
plying for and securing general agen
cies. They say it is the coming type
writer and that it ia only a question of
time when shorthand will be laid aside,
and operators will write from direct
dictation in about one-third of the
time now required for typewriting
from shorthand notes. It is a surprise
to all w ho sec it in operation.
A large dealer in typewriter supplies
was heard to remark at the World's

Common Sonne in Fannin;:.
l'rom over across the ocean at the
opening of an agricultural science
school come these ideas, which are
worthy of consideration here:
Now. let me ask. 'What is agricul
ture?" My answer is that it is not,
strictly speaking, a science, but is ra
ther a great practical pursuit. It do
mauds th? greatest amount of observa
tion and practical experience, yet cer
tain sciences boar on it such as chem
istry, botany, physiology and geology.
It is a mistake to think that a knowl
edge of agricultural scientific principles
is going to revolutionize agriculture.
The application of science direct to
agriculture has not always been pro
litable, but often has been the reverse.
Don't run away with the idea that a
merely scientific man will certainly
make a good farmer. Many such theo-

good plan to clean up and paint some

gotten out as soon as possible, for ev
ery rain and every wind beats some of
it down, and there is a waste.
Have as few fields as possible, and
have these entered by handy gates,
liars aro expensive time-killers, and
poor gates are a nuisance.
Never let any animal get in poor
flesh. If you do your profit upon it is
gone. The expense of restoring it to
good condition is greater than the pro
lit in any sort of stock will warrant.
Electricity is actively engaged, ev
ery day. in taking away employment
from tight and medium horses. Yet
some men go on breeding such, with a
mistaken notion that there is yet an
active demand for them.
If one has plenty of yaid room, where
cattle can keep clean and dry. we think
it is a good plan to turn thorn out for
awhile every pleasant day. Exercise,
fresh air suid sunlight help wonder
fully toward keeping them weli and
hearty.
Wo have never yet found a farmer
who had a good windmill, who would
part with it for the price that it cost.
There are so many ways in which it
can be utilized that a mm can hardly
fail to ru.ske it a profitable aljuuct to
his farm outfit.
The best permanent pastures are ol;

better fitted for temnorary grass

ily the way. have you figured up the '
cost of your crops this year? If you ;
have not. how do you know which you
have lost the most on. or whether you
hare made money on any. This guess
ing "farming don't piy" is p;r busi
ness policy.
The sheep farmer who puts his de

in the tariff, and goes ahead to produce i

The depth of L'7,000 feet has been ex

the "international deep." near the isl

by American and English oflicers, and
a depth of 7,3f,r, feet established. In
1871 the Ilritish ship Challenger found
