Orrln Fcrrler hail como out of the Myalls'
yard and lie was "nllckod up" considerably.
"Yes ; been over a llttlo while , " Orrln ad-
tnlttcd.
"Pooh ! Whal'fl the use ? She'll forget all
About ypu when she ioes back to Stanford , "
eald l.cin. Lem had a fondness for making
people uncomfortable.
"Mayho she will. Hut Mrs. ifyatt wanted
mo to Ret acquainted with her , and she's n.
Bplmilld girl , and I'm glad I did , " salJ
Orrln , starring his Rhoulders.
"Del aho makes fun of you behind your
back ? " said Lcm.
"Hot she don't ! Shc'o too polite. "
"What did jou talk about ? " Lcm Inquired ,
iwlth n kind of sulky curiosity.
" 0 , I don't know. Sho'B making a sofa
jilllow for some friend of hers In Stanford ,
The cover of It H made out of silk handkcr-
- chiefs fixed araund somehow. It's mighty
pretty. "
"Why didn't you gives her your blue-
checked silk mufllcr ? " aild Lem. It was a
random remark , but when Orrln began to
iwhlstlo Lem turned and wjrutlnlzed him ,
Orrln's stock of best clothes was limited ,
and when he was dressed up he wore cer
tain things Invariably. And I.cm mlssd
eotnelhlng from bin familiar makeup.
"Hello , " said he , with a nhrewdncss that
later he went out of his way to pass Trav
I cr's cornfield. ThereIn plain view stood
the scarecrow , a ludicrous creation with a
' grinning yellow hetid. And on Us neck
yes lound Its neck something soft and del-
Icitcly bue ! fluttered In the breeze.
Poor Orrln ! Ho felt his face grow slowly
'
red and hot. And a great wave of amazement - ,
mont and Indignation swelled within him.
Ho know he Would not hive given that
muffler tr. anybody but Gracla Gajlord. And
she had seemed to be delighted with It ; she
had said 'It would be beautiful for her sjfa
pillow. And then she had gone and tied It
on ft scarecrow.
Orrln could hardly bcllevo It. She was so
kind an.I pleasant alwajs. Or he had thought
ehe was. 1'robibly It was all so , what Lorn
Klncald had said. Probably the had made
fun of him behind his back to the Ilyatts and
May Travcr and everybody. There was
plenty 'o 'make fun of , the boy tnought , with
tingling mortification his hanhfulness and
hla common looking clothes , and his country
was is.
Hot thoughts surged through his mind. And
In the very midst of them ho saw GracK
Gayl-rd coming down the street toward him.
He had time to do some thinking before he
reached her. Ho made up tils mind whit
lie ought to do , what he owed 'It to himself
to do , and ho did It. Ho lifted his hit to
her with freezing politeness.
"Good trumlng. " ho said. "I'm very sorry ,
but I've had to change my plans for tomor-

"What If I did ? " said Orrln stoutly. 'Tvi
worn Jt tin ; I'm sick ot.lt ; and It's bce-
washed'once , and "
i"or"yt ' ! Of course ! To bo sure ! Only nice
pllk mufllcr you've over had. 'Fore I'd make !
a. nlhny of myself for any girl ! " said Lem ,
ami ho went on making Ironical remarks
_ tn [ Jto had exhausted his breath and the
subject.
VGolnr ; to tlio fair ? " ho queried , as Orrin
turned in at hla gate.
"Yen. Going Friday , " said Orrln.
"Hen Crane and Guy Walters and I are
going Friday , going on the trnin. Como on
and go with us , can't you ? Eh ? " Lem
urged.
"Can't , " said Orrln.
"Why can't you ? "
"Well. " said Orrln , "tho Ilyatts haven't
any horse , yon know , and father nald I might
take our team Friday and drive them and
Gracla Qaylord over there. "
Lem gave a whoop and Orrln made rapid
time Into the house , pursued by Loin's de-
rlalvo shouts.
Ho was chopping wood in the back yard
next morning , when Lem appoircd.
"Say , " ho began abiuptly , "I told yon
ehc'd malto fun of yon behind your buck ;
now didn't 1 ? "
"Who ? " said Orrln.
"Pshaw ! You know who. That Gracli Gay-
lord. What do yon suppose she's done with
your Bilk mulllcr ? "
Orrln cliuppcd In silencQ.
"Well , sir , " said Lem , "I went over to the
Traven/ last night with the milk , anil she
lves over there aud she and May Trover
were having a pile of fun llxing up a scare
crow. They were doing It for a lark , but
they sild it was to keep the birds away from
the pumpkins , and they did go uml put it
out In the cornfield , for I saw It there this
morning. "

"They nindo a Jack-lantern and stuck It on

Orrln chopped away.

i had called her anything but Gracla. "I
shan't bo able to drive to tne fair , after all.
Will yen tell Mr. and 'Mrs. HjtUt that I'm
sorry 1'vo got to disappoint them ? "
"I'm sorry , too , " said Grach Gaylord. She
looked ul h'lin , standing cool and stiff , and
her fresh young face flushed with astonish
ment and with anxious inquiry. "Why
\\hit " Hut Otrin had started to march on.
Gmcia Gaylor.l stood still for a moment
antr then bho took an impulsive step after
him. "I'm going home Saturday , you know , "
she said. "Won't you be over to say good-
bje ? " i i
" ' ' " said Orrln. "I'm
"I'm afraid I can't , .
nftold I'll have to siy It now. Goodby , Miss
Gaylord. " And he stalked on up the street.
Ho told himself that ho had done Just
nhat ho ought to do , and that ho shouldn't
have thought much of himself If he hadn't
drno It. And \\hen hu saw the stage go
past on Saturday with Giacla Gaylord an 1
her trunk , he told himself that ho was not
a bit sorry. Was not that outlandish scare-
ciow standing yet in Traver's cornfield , with
his Wuo silk muflle" around its neck ? Kor
ho shrunk from going nd getting it ; he let
It stay therfc.
No ; when the stage rattled past with
Gracla Gaylord he attributed his regretful
feelings to another cause altogether.
And certainly that other cause was a
gloomy matter. Or : In had been hoping ami
liMnnliiR for a year bank to go to Stanford
that fail and attend the High school. It
had been Ills fixed ambition ; he had cher-
Ishc.l it and counted on it. He had talked
of It more than once with Gracla Gaylord ,
though that was now a bitter recollection.
Hut now his dreams were come to nothing.
"The High school < it Stanford ? " his father
had said when Orrln had tgokcn of it. "Yes ,
1 know you've wanted to go , and I want
you to , too. Rut , you see , you'd have to
board there through tliocek. . and thevc'd
\ > a your tuition boslrtes , and I can't afford
It tills year. I never had such poor crops In
my me , nor so little ready money , rci let
you go If I could , but I can't. Walt till next
year and we'll see how things are. "
Orrln know his father's decision came of
neccEtilty and that it was final. And his
heart mink. Next jear ! When ho had
hoped to go next week. A whole year lost.
And next year's crops might bo no better.
Oirin was plunged to the depths of a griev
ous despair.
Ho was In that dull condition when he
uont to the poatolllco one evening. Ho went
with lagging blent1 and a sober face : ho
came back on a hard run , and burst In at the
door and knocked a chair over.
Ho nourished a letter. "It's for me , " ho
shouted. "Io k here ! Listen ! " Aud ho read
It , breathlessly.
It was from Stanford. "Master Orrln Fer-
rler , " Hie letter read ; "I have heard thai you
dtslre to attend the High school here , but
that you have given up the plan. Unless
you have given It up finally , I should like
to nuke a proposition to you. I shall be In
need of a llttlo extra help thlr winter , and
If you would care to render some light serv
ices In icttirn for your board , I shall be
wlll'tig and glad to have you live with mo
and attend school. Sincerely yours , Susan
Itrlstow. "
"If I'd care to ! " Orrln cried " 0. won't I ! "
Orrln's father kTiow who Susan Hrlstow was.
Shu uns a maiden lady who owned a largcf
hctiso where t > ho lived alone , but for a man
and wlfo who served her. She was a kindhearted -
hearted gentlewoman , and anybody who
lived with her woti'd have the best of homes.
It wao wonderful goad forti'oo for Orrln.
It was strange how Miss Hrlstow had ever
heard of him Thorn was no time however ,
to think upon that mystery , or to think of
anything but getting Orrln ready to go.
School began the next week , and On In must
be packed off to Stanford by Saturday.
The feal was accomplished. Al1 o'clock
on Saturday afternoon Orrln walked up Mies
llrlstow's broad front steps , und with a
mounting shyness , rang the bell
A white aproned woman opened the door ,
and led him Into a pleasant sitting room ,
Miss Hristow sat there reading , . 'ho was an
eldetly woman with the best uml kindest
of facca She greeted Orrln cordially , and
Orrln forgol his Itmldlly straightway. When
ho had talked with Miss rtrlstow for fifteen
minutes he had forgotten everything but that
the room was warm and cheerful , and the
furniture handrpme , and that MUs Drlstovv
was cerlultily the nicest woman ho had ever
seen.
seen.He had thanked her several times for the
opportunity she had given him , and she had
told him what his easy duties would be.
iind they had fallen to talking of Orrln'a
prospects at the High school when Orrln
cama to a sudden stop la the middle of a
nord.
Just under his elbow l y a seta pillow , a
large , soft pillow with a R y cover. Orrln ,
ones hln G > CS were caught by It , sat and
sUrcd t It. Ho studied It. he puzzled over
It. He looked at Miss Drlstow , and he looked
back at the cushion.
"Miss Hrlstow , " ho said abruptly , "I I
where did you get It ? "
"What ? " said Miss Drlstow. "That sofa
pillow A young friend of mine made It for
me. " And she added smilingly , "Somebody
you know. A friend of yours , too Gracla
Gaylord. "
"Grncla Gaylord. " Orrln stammered , and
ho locked at Mlro Hrlstow with an expres
sion she failed to comprehend. And then
ho went on Blaring at the sofa pillow. That
familiar old blue checked silk ! There could
bo no mistake. Ho knew thai blue check
as well as he knew his name.
"You see , ' said Miss Hrlnlow , "we're very
good friends , Gracla and I ; and we dcn'l
wall for Chrlslmas to mike each olhcr prcs-
enls Kor a girl of her' age , Gracla ! re
markably clever with her noodle , don't you
think so ? "
"Yes. ma'am , " said Orrln ; but he was not
listening : "Miss Drlstow , " he said , and his
fnco was suddenly , oddly aglow "how did
you knew about mo ? ' How did you know I
wanted to go to school ? Old somebobdy did
anybody tell you ? "
Miss Urlslow laughed. "Yes. " she on
Swcicd , "Gracla Gaylord lold me. She knew
you were anxious lo como because you had
lold her so ; and Ihen , laler , she heard that
you could not come. She hoard 11 through
Mrs. Wyatt , who knew of It and wrote It to
her.
"Sho said , " said Miss Hrlstow , gently ,
"thai she dldn'l know Ihe reason you could
not come , but that she thoughl she could
guess It ; and sh knew I wanted some young
person to help us a llttlo this winter and so ,
you see , between us we arranged It , " said
Miss Hrlstow.
"Yes , I see , " said Orrln , slowly. He sat
quite- Mill for n minute. And then , with an
Impulse ho could not resist , ho got to his
feet. "Miss Hrlstow , " ho said , "Miss Hrls
tow. I want to go and IMC ami see I want
to see Oracla Gaylord Just for a minute.
Do you think there's time before supper ?
And wen t you tell me where she lives ? "
The mild who answered the door at the
Gajlord's had a puzzling lime of It with
Orrln when ho rang the tell , some twenty
mrules later , lie fookcd warm and ex
cited and out of breath. And when rhe had
tild him thai Miss Gracla was at home , and
hod taken him Into the parlor , he did not
take a chair , hut stood closs to the door and
waited eagerly till Gracla came down.
Ho almost Jumped to meet her. And
Giacla shook hands"and hcaltntcd and smiled
and seemed pleaded and startled and llmld
nil logelhcr. And of cotirfco Iho maid looked
ci'd listened.
"Gracia , " said Orrln , "I never had any
thing to be mad nt you about , not a thing !
And If you know how I feel about It "
"I knew I hadn't done anything , " Oracla
mut muted.
"I want to ask you , " eild Orrin , "what
WDS It you and May Travur tied around the
neck of thai scarecrow you made ? You
kpow something blue ? "
" \Vh > why O , 1 remember , " eald Gracla
with utter bewilderment. "Why , it was a
picco of an old blue shawl of Mrs. Hyatt's "
"And Lem Klncald knew it. " said Orrln
"He know It ! " And at that point the pirlcr
door closed.
The maid heard thorn talking for many
minutes ; and frequently they laughed. "Dii *
I never deserved to have you do It for me
not after that , " Orrln was saying when the
door opened , "and I dcn't know how I'm
ever going lo thank you either. "
" 13y Juc't saying nothing at all. " Gracia
icturned. "I know you'll like it here. And
I do hope you'll be In my class. "
"I hope I shall , " Bald Orrln. "Are you
going to make any more sofa pillows ? "
"It I do , will you give me another blue
silk mufiler ? ' said Gracla. "Give my rcgaids
to Lcm Klncald when yon write to him
do' " And then they lauqhed again , mirth
fully. And the mystified maid went down to
sco what the cook could make of It.

IMIOHUCTIOX OF A LI MIM'M.
Iiiorcn-iliiK' Applicability of ( lie llctal
to Various L'.NCH.
In reply to the query of practical men ns
to the uses of this new metal , the manufac
turers say that It is adapted to a thousand
purposes for which strength and durability ,
combined with extreme lightness , are essen
tial requirements. _ It serves , for example ;
as a. sheathing of vcGsels. it will be remem
bered , says the Hevlew of Ilovlowe , that on
the American racing yacht Defender alumi
num p'ates , twelve feet long , fivc-slxleenlha
of an inch thick , and from twenty-two to
thirty Inches in width , \Cero used above the
water line ; these plates had a very slight
alloy of copper. The serviceability of
aluminum in salt water has not been fully
tested. Owing to the action of alkalis on the
pure metal , nn alloy Is required. Aluminum
Is a'so well filled to serve us roofing material.
Bulk for bulk , It Is already as cheap as cop
per , and cheaper than nickel or tin. It lendd
llsclf readily to the various processes of
stamping or spinning. The greater part of
last year's output was sold In sheet form.
Aluminum has entered to a considerable extent -
tent Into the manufacture of blcyc'cs , having
been successfully used for almost every part
of the bicycle In which metal is employed at
all. One company CEBto the entire frame of
the machine of an aluminum alloy , and it Is
said that the slrcngth of the frame thus
made Is only surpassed by that of the highest '
grade of nickel-steel frames. The various
parts and fittings of bicycles are made from ,
aluminum by several manufacturers , and i
many tons of tlio metal have been consumed
In bicycle factories. I
Probably the most Important ueo to which \
aluminum will bo put , at least In the linme-
dUto future , will bo for culinary and household - j
hold utensils. Ucsides being very light , and j
hence far lest ? cumbersome than any other
metal of equal strength and durability now
used in cookery , aluminum is practically in
corrodible ; I'rof. Jamlcson asserts that no
food now known to man can affect this metal
in the slightest degree. It Is wholly free
from every form of poison , and It will not
taint food. These are qualities that are pos
sessed by neither Iron , copper , tin nor load.
Furthermore , It Is a bolter conductor of heat
than either of the other metals.
The Innocuous nature of the metal Is an
earnest of Its future usefulness In surgery.
It IH already substituted for silver as the
material of which tubes are made to bo In
serted In the windpipes of patients on whom
the operation of tracheotomy has been per
formed. Kor dental plates , also , aluminum
IK particularly well adapted.
Ten ycairt ago , as wo have seen , no pure
aluminum was produced In the United Stales ,
and In IJuropo II was produced only nt n
coat which virtually prohibited its r.so In Iho
arts. Today It in the rival of copper and
uti'cl In scores of manufactures , and In a sin
gle day moro of it is rolled into sheets than
went to make up the whole world's stock a
few years since. A round million of dollars
will not exprepa the value of the American
product of 1897 , notwithstanding HE cheap
ness as measured by former standards. No
'industry ' has undergone a grealer Iransforma-
llon than this within the decade. And yet
wo are told that this Is onjy a beginning.

" 1 have leaincd that parrots nd girls

remarked a pretty girl not long back from
the Xashvlllc exposition lo n Washington
Star reporter. "You sec I was doing tha
exposition , under the mosl dcllghlful aus
pices , and tnecllng all s rts of people con
stantly. I was also collecting souvenirs ,
everything from badges to food specimen * .
One day some special ceremonies wcro going
on , and Iho Washington delegation had its
headquarters at the leading hotel. I was
on hand making my everlasting collection
of souvenirs. paM | had Introduced me to a
l'-t of besashedbailged and ribboned men

names and titles , it wa < safe to call every

talking to an exceedingly good-looking gen-
tlcman wlih a pair of merry c > es and nn
expansive foroheadi I dldn'l notice much
tlse , ibecause J was so taken up with the
magnificence of his decorations. He had n
dfeam of a g"ia-tringed sash crossed about
his breast , morof Masonic , military and so
ciety badges than J could count , nnd a
shining pair of epaulets , not to mention
a plumed helmet. Visions rose before me
of possessing ono of those epaulets or at
least ono of his many decorations. The
man fairly EClntlllhtcd gold , red and blue ,
and as ho appeared to bo very deferential ,
with a wealth of southern chivalry In his
manner , I had notiicsltancj in making a
bid for an addition to my collection of eou-
vctilrs. Summoning my most fetching smile ,
I asked for nn epaulet.
"My 'colonel' looked rather surprised , and
expressed his regret lhal ho was not at
liberty to comply with my request , adding
thai he was booked for a conspicuous posi
tion In the parade to take place later on.
" 'At least let mo have one of those
stunning badges. You luvo no Ulca what
a cheilslud addl.tan 11 would bo lo my col
lection of Nashville mementos. ' The
'colonel,1 looking further amused , replied that
It grieved him beyond expression to refuse
mo.
" 'Now , colonel , ' said I , growing bold ,
'don't say no to evcrj thing. Can'l I have
a single rl'bbon ' of all your gorgeousnesi ? '
" 'So sorry , ' murmured the polllu colonel ,
'bui I'll toll you what 1 will do , I'll get jou
some pieces of ribbon corresponding In c lor
lo tny badges. Il's the nearest I can como
to giving the badges themselves. '
" 'All right , ' J assented. 'Hut don't belong

"With a profound bow Iho colonel with

" 'O. he war rather nice , ' I retorted , In
an offhand manner. ' 1 have Just sent him

Not deterred by the many failures to ex
terminate the lEiIgllsh Hmrow , the Alle
gheny dopartnu-nt of public works has
adopted a new T > lpn lo rid Ihe city of tills
ornithological pest. : It the now plan is worth
anything at all , next summer will BOO num
berless conflicts between the English spar
row and the German starling. The Allegheny
department of public works puts its faith In
the sMrling and predicts the early extermina
tion of the EI. arrow.
David Fulton , superintendent of Ulvervlew
park , says In the New York Sun lhal the
German starling is Ihe Inveterate Toe of the
sparrow. Wherever the starling has obtained
a foothold the sparrow eventually has dls-
appca'cd. The starling drives him from his
feeding grounds , destroys hln nest and kills
his young. In fact , he persecutes the sparrow
with the same pertinacity that the sparrow
shows toward the native birds that he has
driven out of the Allegheny rcqlon.
Superintendent Fulton some tlmo ago ob
tained a number of nalrs of starlings , which
have been breeding in the aviary In Itlve--
vlcw i irk. Hy nox ; . spring 2,500 full-fledged
sixirrow kllleis will bo turned locso in the
city. The starling Is a beautiful bl-d , about
nine inches long , with glistening green-black
feat ! crs. One bird is more thau a match for
half a dozen sparrows. Equaling his Bye-Mai
enemy In pugnacity , he excels him in strength
and qiilckuehs of wing.
The sta'llng Is migratory , but , as the
sparrow < lo&i not breed In winter , It is not
fiared that the biuthward flight of the Ger
man bird will be followed by an liK-rease In
the number o" sparrows. Migratory though
lie is , the starling Is said to bo fond of ills
homo and to return ( o It every sp Ing.
A local Herman ornithologist sounded t
" > inn.ci : note of warning when ho heard n'
Uleghuny's new project. "Lot the depart
mem of public works beware , " he said.
'Tho sparrows wore first Introduced In
America because they wcro consldo rd use
ful. As the original two do/en calrs In
creased to thousands Ihey wore found lo bo
a nuisance. They ruined Iho crcos by de
vouring them and added to the dumago by
driving the Insectivorous birds away. H Is
true lhat Iho starling will persecute the
( .parrow , but unfortunately ho Is as much nn
Ishmael among btug birds as the sparrow Is.
The starling ulll find It more to his liking
to drive out the few sang birds that the
I other has left ralher than devote Ills time
[ and ntttnllon lo Iho quatrelsomo llttlo spar
row , who Is bravo even If ho Isn't strong ,
I The starling is as Impudent as the < mckon.

1 himself a nest \\iiun by lopk'ng about he
can find and utilize a domicile thai some
other bird has built. Superintendent Fulton
will bo so ry 'lor ' having Introduced this
