LOVE'S MASQUERADE.

"Aunt Sarah, I have an idea and I want your help to carry it out." said Bob Russell earnestly to Mrs. Brits comb. •"I want you to help me to win Gertrude Stone." "Why, my dear boy," was the reply. "I did not know you had aoen her," said the old lady wonderingly. "Well, ray iicquaintanco with her is rather short, I confess. I only saw her talking with you this morning. I heard her say that if she ever fell in lovo it would be with a farmer and that sho was tired of everything connected with city life, lam unfortunately from tho city, but I am going to transform myself into a countryman and hiro out as a farm hand to Miss Stone."

And ho unfolded his plans for winning tho young lady, and had soon enlisted his good natured aunt on his aide.

Miss Stone was very much pleased with her new hired hand, Eben, as lie called himself. He did not eat with a knife, and his grammar was singularly good for a farm hand.

She did not wonder, when ho droro fyer hemo 0110 night, that he should talk a good de )'., and ho was certainly very respectful. "You are fond of farm work and ths oountry?" Miss Stone wan saying. "Very," Ebon rejoined, with much enthusiasm. "You were brought up on a farm?" sho added. "Well, no not entirely," the hired man responded. "But yon choso farm work because you aro fond of it," said Miso Stona warmly. "In that respect wo are exactly alike I love it! I suppose," sho added gently, "that you were obliged to abooso something?" "I—yes, I—support myself," Eben responded, with his eves on his companion's fair face. "It is nothing to regret—indeed it is not!" M188 Stono declared comfortingly. "I admire anybody who is independent and ambitious they're tho only people I do admire. "Oh, that is very good in you," tho hired man murmured, tucking tho robe more closely about her. "And I supposo you haven't had many advantages?" Miss Stono pursued with sympathetic softness. "Well, I've had—somo schooling," tho hired man admitted. "It isn't so great a loss," said Mis3 Stono earnestly. "Many of ourbestand greatest men had very few educational opportunities." It sounded somewhat trito when she had said it but tho hired man was looking at her with warm gratitude. "Nothing is to bo regretted but indolence and l'ack of principle!" "You arc very kind," Eben Eaid in softened tones.

Tho moon was just rising tho daisies in tho fields shone white under it, and the scent of tho fresh crops filled tho air.

Certainly tho hired man was not to bo 'blamed for driving past Miss Stone's gato when they had reached it, with a glance at his companion which was the perfection of respectful deference. All that night sho kept dreaming about this nature's nobleman whom sho had met, and sho thought of going over to Mrs. Briscomb's and telling her what a wonderful man ho was.

Tho next day she asked Eben to drivo lier over to his aunt's place. Fate must have had something to do with tho carriage being upset and Gertrude falling plump into his arms, afid then and tlioro ho told her liow ho loved her, and was promptly accepted. "Wo need only livo on tho farm in summer," said Eben mysteriously. "What shall wo do winters?" said Miss Stone, wonderingly. "Well, 1'vo thought of going into tho newspaper business," tho hired man rejoined, lightly.

And she laughed, in fond enjoyment of tho joke. The remark occurred to her tlireo days later. Sho went into the city to do a little shopping, and to break the news of her engagement to her guardian..

She toid herself vehemently that she did not dread tho process in tho least slio was certain that it would not make tho slightest dilTerenco what anybody said.

SJill sb? felt a littlo odd as she walked uf) the street from the station. Tho Egberts drove j) ist in their liveried carriage. The nowly married and excessively stylish Nicolls met her smilingly. Lottio llail and her rich young iianco bowed to her from a dog cart. Vv ell, she didn't enro what they said bhe eliouid marry Eben though tho whole "world should rise up to oppo.--o if-.

It was The Daily llellector building winch put her in mind of Eben"« joko about tho newspaper business.

The allluerit publisher of it stood on tho steps, talking to a gentleman. He was an old friend of Miss .Stone's, ho hurried down to speak to her. "In lor sonio shopping?" ho said. "By the way, we were just speaking of you. Mr. lius.-icil tells mo ho i£ met you. Mr. Russell, here's Miss Stone."

Mr. latosell came down tho steps, with his hat raised. Ho was immaculately arrayed 1:1 a pale, summer suit, knotty, silver mounted sl ick, a high hat and pol4 ishctl shoes.

He was in nowiso different from tho dozens of young men passing at the 1110incut, but Miss Stone stared at him in speechless, motionless bewilderment, and Mr. Russell stared back at lier.

It i:i not till the publisher had bowed himself

"Eben!" Miss Stone gasped. "Gertrude!" Mr. Russell rejoined. He had recovered himself and wu smiling down at her. "I didn't know you were coming today!" "Who—who are yon?" Miss Stone murmured, faintly. "Well, I'm the young person you're going to marry, for one tiling!" the young man responded emphatically,and led her into a neighboring restaurant before saying anything more. "I couldn't help it!" ho declared, breathlessly, over their untouched cream, "I oouldn't think of aay other way, and I was awfully gone on you from the first minute. Tt was in the porch that first afternoon. I heard what you said, you know all about frivolous, flippant minded city men, and I didn't dare to appear in my proper character—I didn't, truly."

His voice shook with something besides feeling, and he put his handkerchief to his lips.

Miss Stono smiled too. helplessly. "And you—haven't been doing—farm work?" 6ho said. "Good gracious! I don't know a plow from a reaper," Bob responded. "I've been lying about in Aunt Sarah's front yard when I haven't been with you.''

MiBS Stone mused, pink and tremulous. "Whero did you get the clothes?" sho said. "Borrowed 'cm. I'vo bought them now, though. I'm going to keep them forever! Sec hero, doar am I flippant minded? Do you want to bake and milk exclusively? Aren't you rather glad I am not a hired man?"

Miss Stono looked at him with a helpless fondness. "Well, sinco it is you!" sho confessed, sweetly.

.Minn Host *nd Mark Twain. Old Mr. A. was once the landlord of a cosy inn, after a certain attractive, old fashioned style, and upon the traveled road between Boston and Hartford. One summer afternoon he was sitting in front of his establishment, when two figures loomed up on the horizon, gradually materializing into human. shape as they approached. Both men were well dressed, but ono of them limped rather painfully and carried with him an air of being generally fagged out. They stopped at tho inn and tho limping man asked for a room where he might He down quietly and refresh himself. On the way up stairs he told tho landlord that his companion and himself were walking from Hartford to Boston, and that he was suffering greatly from having walked so far in new shoos. Tho landlord left his guest and came down stairs, where, after a littlo conversation with tho other pedestrian, he finally remarked: "Well, a man rnuBt bo a fool to start on such a tramp in new shoes!" "Do you know who that man is?" remarked tho other quietly. "No," responded tho host "Who is ho?" "That man," replied the other, "is Mark Twain!" "Mark Twain!" retorted tho landlord in astonishment. "Then who tho dovil aro you?" "I?" said tho guest modestly. "Qh, I am Rev. Mr. Twitchell!"—New Haven Palladium.

Robert Collyor and the Old Bell. Robert Collyer has presented Cornell university with an old bell tliat has a romantic history, which is retold by tho reverend gentleman as follows: "Somo years ago the village in whidli I used to work as a blacksmith was swept away in order that tho site might bo used as a reservoir for tho city of Leeds. In this general destruction tho shop in which I worked as a boy perished. Against the old bell that used to wako me up very early in tho morning I had a special grudgo. At the samo time I had so much interest in it that I asked a friend in tho tow.n council at Leeds to seo that when tho bell was broken up for old metal a pieco of it should be sent to mo as a paper weight. Tho result was that tho town council voted to send me tho wholo bell. I have ever sinco been waiting for somo appropriate place whero it could bo put."—Boston Transcript.

What Saves the VThit* Rats—A Citizen Who Wasn't Sure About His Vision, and Be Went, to the Doctor.

A citizen who had lost his reckoning and who was pursuing a tortuous course along Mulberry street very early in the morning chanced to look down into the basement office of anoctural worker near police headquarters. Ho seemed 'to be somewhat alarmed by what he saw. A frolicsome kitten was apparently giving boxing lessons to a score of big and littlo white rats on tho top of a coverless pino table. The rats took the culling of the kitten very amiably, and camo tip for more as if they rather enjoyed it. The convivial citizen grasped the iron railing in front of the basement convulsively, and, with an intensity of purpose that was evident from the corrugations on his forehead, sought to convince himself, by harder gazing, that he was tho victim of an optical delusion.

A young man of serious aspect came out of an office next door and saw the befuddled stranger peering into tho basement. The stranger also observed the young man, whoso guileless expression gave no indication of tho gay deceit lurking in his soul. 'Scugo mo," said the stranger, "but ish there a lot of whito razz and a kitten there?" "White rats and a kitten? Preposterous! My dear sir, you need medical attention. I half suspect that you have been drinking."

The stranger's face grew palo. He brokenly murmured his thanks to the good hearted young man, and saying ho was going down town to get Dr. Perry to straighten him up, he meandered *way.

WHAT TTTK CITIZEN SAW.

Ho had seen, as anybody may who passes the basement, just what tho facetious young man led him to believe he had not seen. If ho had been sober and had gone into tho basement and had a talk with tho owner of the rats, Mr. Frank Hastings, ho might have heard some interesting things about them. Mr. Hastings has bred over a hundred of them. Only one developed a vicious spirit. It bit its owner whenever he put his hand near it, and, fearing its example of ferocity might bo imitated by tho rest of tho snowy colony, Mr. Hastings docided to give it to the giant torn cat of his guileless next door neighbor. Hi is cat had often looked through the basement window, devouring the rats with his eyes and apparently longing to make a moro substantial meal of them. The wicked rat was taken next door and put down in front of tho tabby, who surprised the onlookers by backing away from the trembling little creature, which made no effort to get out ot tho way. Tom surveyed it a few moments and cautiously approach and sniffed around it.

Then he turned his back 011 it and ambled into a corner and lay down. He was not permitted to stay there undisturbed. The rat was taken over to him and placed on his back. Ho got up, letting it slide to tho lloor, and trotted into another corner. A lean and hungry looking vagrant cat vs hunted up and brought in, and the rat was set down before him. He refused even to smell the rodent, and escaped from it into tho street the moment tho door was opened. A bull terrier was brought in and I10, too, wouldn't touch tho little animal.

THE HUSBAND'S BAD MANNERS.

Are Too Frequently tlio Cause ol Many a Wife's Heartache. A friend was spending tho day with me the other day, and while sho was here our pastor called. After he left the friend said: "Did you ever notice with what respect Mr. Conrad speaks of his wife, and how courteously ho treats her at all times?" I nodded assent and my friend went on: "I suppose my husband is as good a man as ever lived, but his mother did not train him to be courteous to ladies. His sisters were his slaves, and thereby he is spoiled as a husband. I wish I could train several hundred boys to be husbands for the next generation. Do you supjKJse they'd consider it their prerogative to drive the girls out of the easiest chair, take the sunniest corner of tho room, tho best place by the light, throw liooks, papers or slippers down for somo one to put away, grow up with tho idea that a wife must be a valet anil tho rest of the household stand respectfully by to oley orders? You smile, but this is anything but a subject to laugh over. "I really believe that husbands never think how their unkind ways hurt.

They don't realize the difference to us, for instance, in their manner when they come to dinner. All day the wifo has been alone with the children and servants, and is more hungry for a kind word from her husband than an epicurean feast. Ho comes in just as the dinner bell rings. 'For a wonder dinner is onco ready on time,' the husband says. Couldn't he have saved the heart stab by saying: 'That's a pleasant sound to a hungry fellow,' and what hinders him from adding, what would be the milk and honey to a weary soul all the rest of tho day— nay, all the rest of her life—'You aro a good wife, Cornelia.' And if dinner is not quite ready why need he say, 'Of course not never is.' In working mottoes for the homo why hasn't some one taken Wesley's remark: 'I'd as soon swear as fret,' instead of hanging up 'I Need Theo Every Hour.' "When I think I have a hard time I just think of ttie women who have 110 servants, but who themselves care for the children, wash, iron, cook, mend, churn, milk, carry wood and water, all for loss than a servant girl's wages. Of course men appreciate their wives of course they do, but they keep their polite manners and courteous ways for—other men's wives. One time James thanked mo for saving him room beside me at the concert, and then sort of apologised for being polite by saying he thought it was my sister Mary.' —Atlanta Constitution.

A Strange Marie.

James Rothermel, who lives in Fayette county, this state, has a strange birth mark which inakes him an object of superstitious regard among his neighbors. According to a correspondent of The Pittsburg Post on tho back of Rotherruel's head, just below and a little to tho right of the base of the brain, is a small excrescence. bluish in color and crescent shaped. Tho moment tho moon begins to turn tho first quarter of her polo the mark begins to undergo a startling change. Its bluish color Vurns to a brilliant. red. and tho ilesh below it and extending diagonally across his neck to the leit shoulder begins to swell. As the moon grows older tho birth mark gets redder and redder, and the ilesh swells more and more, until, when the moon has reached its "full," the crescent shaped mark is of a fiery scarlet, and the flesh extending from tho mark to the left shoulder has swollen into a horn like roll, two or three inches in thickness at the largest point, and gradually tapering to a point near the left shoulder.

Mr. Hastings asked his guileless neighbor, who has reasons for everything, why it was that a white rat seemed to bo sacred to cats and dogs, and tho neighbor said that I10 guessed tho white rat belonged to the samo family as tho white elephant worshiped by the Siamese or, maybe, the cats and the dog thought tho rat was merely the specter of an everyday rat they had killed long ago. Mr. Hastings restored tho rat to its comrades, hoping the fright it had received might cure it of biting. It bit him again fifteen minutes later, and I10 gave it to a tough boy in Mulberry street who was neck exactly what stago tho moon is in. not as sentimental as the cats and the 1 —Philadelphia American. bull terrier.. Tho. boy killed it with

stone. ''THE IJON AND TIIE IJAMBS. The peaceful disposition of the cats toward tho bad whito rat suggested to Mr. Hastings the idea of getting a kitten for them. It is a female kitten, and was presented to Mr. Hastings by Baker John Braudemoor, around in Houston street. It is just about twice as big as the old blind grandmother of tho rats, but its spirit is colossal and fiercc enough to throb against tho ribs of a Sullivan. Probably this is duo to the diet of minco pio it reveled in when with tho baker. It does not display its ferocity unless a strange dog happens to como into tho office. Then it. drives all tho rats, except tho old blind grandmother, who will not bo driven, into tho box, and marches to and fro, with its back arched and tail erect, sputtering and growling at the intruder. If tho kitten could talk on theso occasions, Mr. Hastings has no doubt that it might say to the big dogs "I'm tho guardian of this household, and you can cross its threshold only over my dead louy! Spit! spatt"'

A novelty is reported from Hastings in connection with tho performance of"Tho Yeoman of tho Guard" at the theatre. The stage has been connected by telephone with various private houses and hotels, so that numbers of people are nightly hearing the opera without seeing it. Y\rx are not. aware that this has ever boon tried except in isolated cases as an experiment. Hastings may, therefore, be congratulated on being in tho van of

As tho moon gradually begins to wane, in like manner the scarlet of tho crescent shaped mark becomes less fiery, the horn like roll across tho neck to decrease in sizo, until when the moon is dark again there is nothing to be seen but the small bluish crescent shaped mark. For over twenty-eight years theso changes harve followed monthly with tho moon's phases and so marked are they and so regular that Rothermel can toll by simply placing his hand on tho back of liis

More Mexican Ruins.

An interesting antiquity has recently been discovered at Palenque, in the Chiapas district of Mexico. Tho monument is situated upon the river Xhupa. Although it is now a complete ruin, was originally a structure of considerable height, as three distinct stories aro still distinguishable. Tho ground floor is very large, measuring somo 120 feet by 75 feet. The floor above is attained through holes in the ceiling or vault, and here a room is found measuring somo 27 by 9 feet. Tho openings referred to are natural and have been formed by tho disintegration of the stono and tho sinking in of the roof. On stone slabs set into tho wall aro bass reliefs of Iranian figures, warriors, etc. Although theso stones aro in a very bad state of preservation thoy are to be sent to the capital of Chiapas. Near tliis ruin aro a row of houses forming a street, and not far from these the vestiges of a quite largo town, all of course in a state of complete ruin.—Scientific American.

W -"V- Severe Critic. A11 'Atlanta artist recently finished a portrait and carried it to a friend who knew tho original and asked for a criticism. '•Why, tho picture is perfect," snid the friend.

The littlo giv* was called in and asked: "Gustiie, whoso picture is that?" "I don't know. I never saw tho person in my life tJ1.1t I know of," was the answer.

"Ono woman at work in a sliup behind clean and lidy cottage had been making nails ior thirty years. She got 7id. lor making 1.000 nails, and by working long hours she could mako 8d. a day net." Une lit lie shop, from ten to twelve feet square, was in full swing, where wore four young women "hard at it," and if they could keep it up for six days at fifteen hours a day their gross earnings would amount to the surprising sum of 6s. !5d. each. "But the clear earnings of these young women—skillful, persistent, unwearying workers their arms thin, but hardened by unceasing toil their chests (hit, their faces palid, and their palms and lingers case hardened by bellows, hammer, Oliver and rod—will run to Hs. fid. per week when in full work." Tho "oliver," it should be explained, is a spring tilt hammer operated bv tho foot of tho worker and discharging the duty of a mechanical striker its weight varies from ten pounds to thirty pounds.

It is a very striking sight to see a clever girl at her work making "cone" or "countersunk" nails, or "pipe" nails, "spoon heads" and "gutter spikes." Her left hand holds the rod, which is red hot at one end, out of which the nail fashioned with her right hand she wields her forming ha miner, and with her left leg sho works the oliver, while her eager face is all tho time bowed to the anvil, except when, straighl.enin herself up, she turns 1 rom tho anvil to tho bellows to blow up the firO. But when theso girls aro acred or absmt to be. come mothers the sight is still more striking, and makes ono wish that one had. never seen it or heard of it, it is so pitiful and sad, not to say unkind and unnatural.

When Spring Comes

This is the vray a liorse and a poor blanket look at the end of winter^

Why is it that of two horse blankets which look and feel equally well one won't wear at all, and the other wears well

This Trade Mark shows why.

Horse Blankets which are strong and have a reputation are always imitated in poor qualities which look like them, but having fewer warp threads are not as strong.

Some dealers buy these poor imitations for a few cents less and by saying they are "just as good," sell them at the same price as the strong blankets to parties who do not know the difference.

You cannot tell whether horse blankets are strong by the look or feel, as the warp threads do not show on the face. How then are you to know?

Inorderthat you can tell a strong blanket from a weak one, the manufacturer of Horse Blankets sews the above 5/^ Trade Mark inside of each blanket. This is a guarantee that it is the strongest blanket made for the money and will wear well.

Many poor imitations have been sold as 5/± blankets. Remember none are genuine unless the §4 Trade Mark is sewed inside.
