In hand , while ho enlarged upon the "soul-
ICMI democratic times , " emphasizing his sen
tences by bramlldhlng the carver In the
air.
Ills nexl aversion to a democrat was nn
old maid. Indeed , the old maid was even
more odious to him. The democrat he could
forgive as being a fool , but the old maid was
beyond pardon on any grounds. And yet , us
in very mockery of his pet antipathy , his
only child , Sarah , had developed Into the
4 bated object , right In his own household.
Sarah was talf and angular , like her father ,
but her face was pleasing , and her disposi
tion mild and amiable. She had never re
volted against anything 1n her life not even
against the Injustice of spending her youth
In making preserves , apple I/utter or piecing
quilts , while other girls were making merry.
Sometimes Sarah wondered where her youth
had gene , but , while she 'w.as 32 , she could
not recall having been young.
Ono day Jackson Smith received a hurt ,
ami when Dr. Drown was called In. he told
Jackson hla dajs were numbered. Then It
was that his hatred for old maids proved
itself.
"I'll never leave this place to a woman that
can't get a husband , " he said fiercely.
"Hut father , Sarah's never had no chance
we've always kept her down , " remonstrated
bin weeping wife.
Ho waved his hand to silence her.
"Woman , no old maid shall Inherit my place.

eager.
"No , I don't mind ; I'd help you any way
I could , Sarah. It's nigh noon now. I'll
drive over for you In the buggy right after
dinner. "
"I'll bo ready , and I wouldn't have aeked

"I understand It , Sarah. Don't fear. "
it.
"Why , Sarah , where have you been ? You
look as rosy as a T.oppy , " a < nd Mrs. Smith
wiped the teais from tier eyce as she gazed
at her daughter's face.
"I've been attending to business for us ,
mother. Yo'l will not leave the piece. I'm
going over to Squire HaH'o this evening.
John Howard Is coming to take ine In the
buggy. "
The RUM war. sit.king low In the wwt
when John Howard'and Sarah returned from
the squire's.
"Will you come la , John , and stay about
some ? I'd I'd rather you'd tell him If you

John hitched the horse and went In , He

"Uncle Jackson , " he bepan , "I'vo come to
tell you what I've done. You know that I've
often warned you that eome day you would
lose the most vo'rcble possession you hart "
"It's the brlndlo heifer , " interrupted Jackson -
son Smith , his eyes snapping angrily. "John
Howard , you think because I'm"on my death
bed that you can do as you please , but I'll
show you. It's just like a raccally democrat

enough.jln bank for ycu , but I'll fix It so
that at your death It will go with the farm.
Jackson Qoggan , my namesake , shall get it
Tearfully Mrs. Sin'.th Imparted the facts
to Sarah.
"Mother , would ho turn you out of the old
place just because he hates me ? " and Sarah
IHokod incredulous.
The elder woman nodded , then Sarah
kissed the round , sunburnt face and said :
"Mother , I never have revolted against
father , but I'm going to bavc the place for
you I wouldn't mind so much , but you shall
never leave your home , I'm going out now
to think It over , " and putting on her pink
Bunbomict she went out the back door.
When some distance from the house she sat
down In the shodo of a tree- , and while her
heart beat loudly over her father's contem
plated Injustice , she resolved to outwit him.
"There's Jonh Mull In , he might but I
can't boar Jofh , he chews tobacco und hU
mouth ah\a > s looks dirty. Ho.irjHoJge Is
home , but hi1 drinks eo that there's no de
pendence ( o be put In him. " She c"ast her
eyes over the landscape , and on the next
farm she saw the figure of a man In the
field. "Yew , thtTc's John Howard , but "
and her face grew pink "I hate somehow
to a k It of him " then the tear-stained face
of her mother passed before- her mental vln-
lon niid giving a- jerk to Irr suiibonnet , slit-
started down the path across the meadow.
John Howard was hoeing corn. When he
caw Sarnh appr.oachlng ho stopped and
leaned on his hoe , a look of concern in his
face.
"Is the old man wore. Sarah ? " he asked.
"Yes ; Dr. Ilrown says he can't live morp'n
two or three days , ami O , Joha , It's awful
the way ho Is. "
' 'Yes , but you have been a good , sacrific
ing daughter , Surah , and you can't blame
jourself for anything , you "
"O , you don't understand , John ; he's go
ing to UMVC everything to to Jackscti Gog-
pan , and mothnr'll have to Have the place , "
she half sobbed.
"You can't mean it , Sarah ? Why why
that would be outrageous. What makes him
talk of such a thing ? "
"llrcaure because I am an old maid : he
hates all old molds , " and her face grew
pinker than the sunbomiet. John Howard
shitted the hoe to the other arm and looked
down.
"John , I've come to ask you 0 , John ,
din't think me brazen , It's for mother's
take. I can't stand to see her turned out ,
and for my fault , and It you will only help
no and and come up to the house and
pretend that wo are to be married Just un
til utter the will li made It wouldn't be
to very wrong , John not to bad as letting
tattber be put out ot her home " She
caught her breath In short gasps , but when
John WUP silent her pink face suddenly paled.

you , John , but don't hold It against me ; I
couldn't see any other way. Goodby , John , "

When the lawyer came the next day I
wrote a lll bequeathing all , save a life ti

Sarah , who had gladdened the last hours <
his life.

A foft- days later , with all duo cereraon ;
Jackson Smith war laid away by the sli
of other Smiths. John Howard went hon
with his wife and her mother. At the pore
ho halted awkwardly , seeing which Uaro
turned.
"Will yon come , . In , John ? " she asked.
"I'm afraid It would only pester you

"You might stay. We would flx v

just as soon , " said Sarah , beginning
realize the awkwardness of their position.
"I'd llko to , Sarah. I could tend the crc
just as well , but I'd feel aa it 'I was llvlr
oft of you women , and and you might get
bate mo It I hung around. "
"Youneedn't be afraid of that , John
cald Sarah , tapping her foot nervously c
the porch floor , "It would be the easiest w :
out of our our dilemma ; but If you
rather not etay we could explain to folks ho
it was that you just married me to save tl
farm. "
"nut , Sarah , If wo told that It would 1
a lie. I took advantage of your trouble
get you married to me , and you didn't su

you will not respect mo when I tell you tl

eyes did not lift to her face.

IlISKKU LIKE FOR A CHILD.
A Tlirer-Yenr-OIil Snnlchoil from Ile-
nrnlh nn Knulnc I'llul.
In the gray half light ot early morning ,
the wet fog clinging to his rough clothes ,
Adam Fink , a laborer at Wclwtcr Groves ,
trudged along the Missouri Pacific tracks
to his work , relates the St. Louis Republic.
As ho crossed the Derry read he heard in
'the distance the thunder of an oncoming
train. He coulJ not see It , 'but he knew It
was coming rapidly towards him , for the
ground shivered and net heard tbe clanking
trucks.
Ho walked on the tics until the big mogul
with Its tail of swaying coaches rushed
out of a bend In the road a few rods away
and bore down upon him with a mighty
rush. Then he saw the form of a child
Ivlng between him and the coming 'engine.
The little curly head was pressed against
the rail , a small brown hand thrown aim
lessly across the steel track , a dusty kilt ,
cap thrown off In sleep , showed at a
ance that somebody's little boy had fallen
xhausted on the railway to be ground
nd trampled by the juggernaut rushing to-
ards St. Louis in the dim claw.n.
Pink looked and leaped simultaneously ,
here was no pause to think. There was
ust an instantaneous triumph of muscle ,
erolsm and genius nj Adam Fink , laborer ,
prang upon the sleeping boy , snatched
: m from beneath the very pilot"of the en-
ne , stumbled and rolled over with the
itld safely In his arms and the hot breath
the rushing monster on his desperate
ace. There was a sweep ot flying cinders ,
he rattle ot wheels and the crashing of steam
Ith steel , and the big passenger train darted
way into the fog , all unconscious ot the
an and the boy left sitting on the brink
"
' death.
When Fink stood up he found that his
ght leg haJ been hit by the engine. The
lild was safe sat rubbing his eyes , all
bllvlous of the horrible death he had so
arrowly missed and crying eoftly for
amma. Fink picked him up , and swung
im lightly onto his back. He knew the
ttlo fellow lived In Webster and that he had
andered away from home the day before ,
earchlng parties had been out all night
oklng In vain for the lost 3-year-old , whoso
Idowed mother walked the streets and lanes
the village for twelve hours looking for
r lost darling.
When Fink give the child to the frantic
lother ho told her so plain a talc of the
Mill's narrow escape from death that her
eart stood still with horror. There was
either boast nor vanity In his telling ol
t ; rather he seemed to think the little bay
ho could sleep like a soldier on the cold
round and wake to a rude scramble In
no cinders was the hero of the incident.
[ seemed to think that he had been notli-
ng more thin lucky In arriving at the one
moment when by acting quickly he had
ucccedcd In doing what he h-is stood ready
o do at any time. The very plain un\ar-
ished story that he told the 'boy's ' mothei
iado little Frank the hero , and by Its tell-
ng adds a * new luster to the splendid
erolsm of Laborer Fink.
Frankle Perkins , 3 years old , is the little
> oy whom Fink snatched from the wheels
f the engine. Mra. Jennie Perkins , a
\ldow , Is his mother. They live at Web-
tcr Groves. Whllo ahsorbcd In the duties
f her homo the enterprising little boy ca-
-uped her vigilance and wandered down tlu
treet. He looked In the store window
ml watched the trains and teams moving
about the depot. He saw with the wonder
ng eyes of 3-years-old the radiant bottler
n the drug store , the big golden bowl wltl
a base ball bat In It , suspended above the
leer , the "falso faces" In .the little shoj
aiound the corner and the 'oodles ot candj
n the randy store.
When ho was tired of these he wande-ci
away , looking for new worlds to conquer
and night fell upon the sturdy llttloladven
urer before he could 'flnl ( 'therlglft roai
lomc. Late in the night , certainly } afte
ho late trains had passed , the bay la ;
down exhausted upcn the tics to sleep ni
cloiVbt to dream ot the heroes In the fair ;
talcs his fond mother told him. Unllk
iiost dreamers , ho awoke to find a rea
icro , whoso boots were better than th
seven league things in the tale , and whcs
icart was stouter than that of Jack th
Giant Killer. But Franklo does not knoi
that the rough man who carried him so ten
derly home to his mother is * quite llkcl
the embodiment of all the noble thought !
the great battles and great and gcnerou
deeds that Hans Anderson and the Brother
Grimm have been mooning about Iri the !
stories of hobgoblins , glanta and ogres.

the process of making lead pipe , and , lit
many other inventors thn Idea of making tl
sarre was stolen from him and further d
vcloped to Its present form of manufactur
It was In the latter part of ( he thlrtli
that ho Idea suggested Itself to him and tl
following is the way he wrought it out : F
took first a slug or casting of lead , placlr
It on a mandrel , or rod of steel , about si :
teen feet long and one Inch in diameter ; tl
mandrel was highly polished nnd upon th

length ot ( he rod , thus giving him an Im

to a one-fourth inch , making a total dlameti
of one and one-half Inches for the pip
After completing several sections of tl
length of the mandrel he soldered tbem ti
gother. making the pipe of whatever lengl
he desired.
Ho put It to practical use by fastening
to pump heads and also running it fro
springs to connect watering troughs ar
tprlng houses In the country roun'd aboi
here. Being greatly pleasfid with his dli
covery and receiving tha most flattering i
comments from his friends and neighbors i

ventlon more widely known and hence mai

TRAINING THE HOUSEMAID
A Task Requiring Knowledge , Taot ,
Patience and PerwTeratrce.
WITH3UT THESE FAILURE IS CERTAIN
Trillin to De Endured nnd How They
Mar He I.lKlitened Expert SUK-
on n Subject
of lAtermt.
When a housekeeper can afford to pay
$20 per month for a .house maid , her train
ing Is guaranteed byt the size of her wages ,
but girls receiving'from ' J10 to $12 are sel
dom experts In this line ofbusiness. . It
then remains for"ithe housewife either to
put up with Indifferent service or to train
the servant In the'jpatli that she should
walk.
Of course there 1U always the 'bugbear
ahca'd that when mare valuable on account
of experience and i training this aid to do
mestic machinery //will strike for higher
wages or leave. Inrthe meantime she may
not , and the care taken In the training often
cements a bond of i real friendship between
mistress and maid , which Is not broken In
years. There Is always a risk , but It the
servant who Is trained In the ways of a
wise mistress does remain she Is a well-
eprlng of joy and amply repays the former
for all of her trouble. >
The teacher mui't know her pupils' good
and bad traits and exer > : we tact , firmness ,
patience und perseverance. Ktmember that
this pupil Is a grown woman , possessing , no
doubt , strong opinions of her own , which
aie not crushed on account of the relative
positions. The mistress must lead gently ,
but flrmly , forgiving bad work the flmt time ,
but not the icconj , and the fact must bo
Impressed upon the girl that no matter what
she thinks Is the better way , that of her
employer must bo followed ,
The question naturally arises , how can
the mlstHess teach the proper method of
doing work unless she understands It her
self ? If she docs not then the maid will
either train herself or remain In a itate of
blissful Ignorance , for , as one put It not
long ago , "experience comes high unless you
do the teaching. " Who but the mistress will
tell 'her ' the best manner of cleaning paint ,
windows , upholstered and other furniture ?
How will she know how to plan her work ,
when to sweep , etc , how to remove stains
from Hablo linen as soon as It Is Injured ,
what to do with a greafo spot on the car
pet , a scratch on a wooden chair and the
hundred little things that come up , unlcf > < >
some one versed In these household sub
jects enlightens her ?
In the first place , there must be personal
cleanliness , which means cotton gowns to
bo worn during the time of the heaviest
work , with a white cambric apron and linen
collar. In time for the late meal the girl
changes this garb for one of black , navy
blue , brown or gray serge , or icashinc : < c , with
whlto linen cuffs and collar , fresh apron and
the almost universally worn cap , though the
wearing of the latter must be arranged for
'flrom ' the first or there may be trouble over
It. For midsummer a light cotton shli
waist Is allowed "with a black skirt an
white apron ( or the evening dress. It I
the general rule tori women to furnish th
aprons and caps , .and some go further an
aupply two afternoon frocks per year , ton
the latter la optional , while the former rul
haa become a custom.
SERVICES EXPECTED.
. A house girl In a family of ordinary mear
a combines the duties of a waitress and chan
bcrmald , and her dally tasks for every da
of the week .should be plainly written ou
pas.td on a piece o' cardboard arid hun
up In her room , to be read each day. Whll
the cook prepares breakfast the housemal
nweeps the balls , etalru and doorstops , the
comes In the dining room to wait on tr
breakfast table , the family having the coi
slderatlon to dispense with her services t
soon as possible , giving her 4he opportunlt
of throwing back the beds to alrl , openln
the bedroom windows and removing wasl
water from the rooms. Breakfact comi
next and after this the .house girl cleai
the table and washes the. silver and betti
china , the renialnder going Into 'the kltche
for the cook-who also attends to the wasl
Ing and ironing. t
The dining room Is then dusted and U
crumbs picked up , as it docs not need sweei
Ing every day , and the ' maid goes to tl
drawinpr room to dust'that. Then the bei
are made and the rooms dusted , and by th
time the luncheon table must be set and tt
family waited upon , keeping a clean aprc
ready to put on for this service , and also
answer the door bell.
After the servant's luncheon and dlsl
washing If there are any lamps In use thi
should be attended to and the work upstal
finished.
WEEKLY ROUTINE.
Every day some extra work can be dot
In the afternoon In place of leaving the bui
of It for the last of the week.
For example , on Monday give the servant
rocm Its weekly cleaning , and sweep all
the stairs and halls ; on Tuesday take tl
dining room and also to do h'cr own Ironln
Caring for Iho dlnlnc room means to ket
the sideboard and closets 'in perfect ort ]
and windows washed every week.
On Wednesday the parlor receives a thu
ough overhauling , and on alternate Thur
days the sliver should be cleaned , the n
malntng Thursdays being the girl's day ou
from luncheon until 10 o'clock. The coc
takes the alternate Thursdays , and then tt
housemaid gets the dinner , which the nous *
wire should make lighter than usual. Tl
girls divide Sundays in the same manne
the house servant getting supper when tl
cook Is out.
On Fridays the bedrooms and balls mu
be attended to , and on Saturday the bat )

yearJ. As In several other ctaca in willed
he daughters of prominent and wealthy east
; rn people have run uwayi to marry Indians
vlth whom they had became enamored , Mrs
Cushman was a teacher in an Indian school
that at Fort Shaw Mont.
Several othcn attempted elopements and
marrliigcs of young whltoomcn who were
society belles in the east to full-blood ot
nlxcd-blood Indians have been prevented by
ho determined opposition of relatives ot

alone prevented the consummation ot the
marriage rite between a whlto teacher of an
Indian school , whcso father beatu a na-
lonal reputation , and an Indian. The writer
distinctly remembers the case , which came
under his obsenatlon a few years ago. The
young lady was a teacher in one ot the In
dian schools on the Sioux reservation near
his city. She became enamored with a
young Sioux \sarrlon and would have mar
led him against the protests ot her eastern
relatives had not Providence Interposed and
.hwarted the alliance. The Indian was
stricken with consumption and failed rapidly ,
Jurlng his last days the young woman
.cacher nursed him with the greatest devo-

o bo consoled. Since then she has remained
single , notwithstanding that It is said she
las been offered the heart and hand of de
sirable white suitors ,

H. Rider Haggard
AUTHOR OF "SHE , "
' KING SOLOMON'S MINES , "
, ETC. , ETC. ,
HAS COMPLETED ANOTHER STORY ENTITLED
ELISSA"
The hero of the story is a grandson of King Solomon
on an expedition to the Golden Ophirof tlic Bible.
A Romance of Pro-Historic Africa , Daringly Imaginative
and Full of Thrilling Action.
This Story Began Publication in
The Sunday Bee
&a a Serial , in Ten Instalments , February 13.
( WITH ILLUSTRATIONS. )
IN this story Mr. Haggard makes a new demon
stration of his wonderful * power in the field of
pure romance. He once more boldly lifts the
curtain that hides the fate of nations dead and buried
in the ages of which no record remains , except in the
silent ruins of their cities.
Zimboe , an inland trading city that flourished in
the heart of Africa 3,000 years ago , and peopled by
the Phoenicians , is the scene of the story. To this
city comes Prir.ce Aziel , a grandson of King Solomon ,
accompanied by Isaachar , a priest of Israel , and Metem ,
a Phoenician trader , who brings a caravan of , mer
chandise.
In Elissa , daughter of Sakon , King of Zimboe ,
the prince meets his fate. King Ithobal , lord of many
legions of savage warriors , is already a suitor for her
hand. He sues in true barbarian fashion , seeks to
carry her off by force , and is foiled in the attempt by
Prince Azicl. The story unfolds itself around the feud
between the Prince of Israel and the savage King Itho
bal. Elissa has already given her heart to Aziel , and
loaths the barbarian monarch. Isaachar , the priest , is
determined that no prince of the house of David shall
wed a heathen maiden , whose people worship Baal ,
As a result of his intrigues , Elissa is elected the high
priestess of Baal.
This fixes an impassable religious gulf between
her and Aziel. Their passionate love seeks to sur
mount all barriers. Meantime Ithobal draws his huge
army of savages around the fated city , and demanding
Elissa in marriage , prepares to destroy it if he is re
fused. How Elissa violates her oath as high priestess
and prepares to fly with Azielj how they are both dis
covered and threatened with death by the priests of
Baal ; how , to save each other , she , by her right as the
high priestess of Baal , names him her husband , while
he renounces his faith and offers incense to Baal ; how
Ithobal's horde of savages storms the walls of the city ,
and both Aziel and Elissa fall into his power ; * and
how , at last , Aziel escapes with hb life by Elissa's
feigned submission to IthobaV she , in turn , escaping
Ithobal by killing herself , is all told in Mr. Haggard's
most fascinating manner.
The awful ceremonies in the temple of Baal , the
weird rites in the sacred groves of Zimboe , and the
barbarous battle scenes of that far-off time , are
S described with all the author's marvelous wealth of
SS imaginative resource.
S It is a story that will surely rank as one of the
SI great works of fiction of J898.
