Down the dusty road oante a horse so slowly that his feet scarcely made a sound, ' while the, rider Idly held the lines In 1 his passive hands and let the horre tjdte his own salt. .ludftini; by his abstracted look, the beauty of the day made no Impression upon him, except in a general way; he wore a dark gray traveling suit and a soft felt hat was pushed back on his he-id, showing a broad brow and clear cut face, from which looked honest gray eyes that had a very sad expression just now, ’le was thinking of n time two years before when he had ridden dow n this same road, and by his side a slender graceful girl, whose laughing, piquant face was raised to his own, and whose dark eyes were, he thought, the most beautiful in the world. l.ife seemed very bright then, but now—how the old world had changed! Two years before, Frederic Smith, M. D. had come down to this quiet neighborhood with a college friend to fish, hunt, and otherwise spend profitably a few weeks’ vacation. He was just out of a medical school, had a comfortable fortune In his own right, friends by the score and a contented disposition; what more could a young man wish for? Alas! After two short weeks In Bloomwell, all this changed, and he knew that the things he had counted of value, were nothing to him now. What use a fortune, with only himself to support; what use to win a name as a prominent physician, there was no one to share the honor of such a position. So he argued to himself, and all because one dark-eyed girl laughed at all his compliments, told comical stories of other young M.D.’s, and openly declared that young men with money seldom won eminent posi-
tions.

tain reserve, but he was not to be baffled or restrained from saying all he had Intended to say. "You know all about our misunderstanding," he ventured, at last. "Yea, I know,” and now there was a decided angry ring to the gentle voice. "I have thought, sometimes,” went on this unconscious culprit, “that 1 should have written again, after a few months, but I suppose Kate did not care aa she fancied, and that it is better so.” ”1 think, Frederic Smith, you were the one who did not care,” said Aunt Jane, roused at last out of her natural calm "Or you took a strange way to prove your affection; you quarreled, quarreled like two silly children that you were, and then you chose to think poor Ka*e meant all she said In anger. So you needs must take your dignity back to town, before It could be again insulted, without one farewell word, or giving my poor girl a chance, had she wished, to get down humbly and ask your forgiveness." "Aunt Jane—why, Aunt Jane!” Interrupted tho young man, his voice thrilling with Indignation. "Surely Kate told you of the letter I wrote as soon as 1 left her. How could you think me so mean, so unmanly?" The little woman read truth in his earnest young face, and she got up, and stood with both hands on his arm. "Fred," she said, "I knew years ago of two lives that were spoiled by just such a foolish mistake; let us right this if we can. Now, tell me all about that letter, for Kate never saw, or heard one word from you since you parted In anger that day in the woods." He answered eagerly, all his face glowing with a sudden hope. "We had quarreled; it commenced with a trifle, but w« both grew angry at last, and Kate gave me my ring and said she never wished to hear from me again, and 1 was more angry, and turned and left her without a word. After 1 had cooled down 1 was as ashamed and sorry as you could wish, and I wrote a letter asking her forgiveness, and begging for a note In re- | ply, saying that I should leave the 1 next morning, and really know that j sl.o meant all she had said, If I had no j word from her." Who took the letter?" interrupted Aunt Jane. "Kate's boy, Isaiah the Prophet, who always carried our notes to each other. He came back in a short time, • saying: '.Miss Kate read hit and say, "no answar.” ’ " 'What did she do with the note?' 1 asked. To'e hit up,’ he said. 'She war mighty begaged talking ter Mars Carlton, goln’ ter ride, 1 spec, I see he buggy and hos thar.’ That was surely enough; what more could I do, in justice to myself, but leave?" "Fred,” said Aunt Jane, eagerly, "It was all a yarn, I know; 1 am sure the | Prophet lied and Kate never heard of ] that letter. She has gone away but will be home in a few days, and, my dear boy, don't let your false pride j make a wreck of her happiness and ; your own." "Indeed, Aunt Jane, I shall not,” he answered. "I had much rather make 1 a wreck of that false Prophet.” But his face was full of hope and joy as he stooped and kissed the gentle old face near him. and Aunt Jane did not look in the least offended. "And now, I must tell you of my business; 1 am in partnership with a gentleman much older than myself; ! such a splendid, grand man as he is! j You would like him, I know. Aunt | Jane; he used to be familiar with this town years ago, and said he had met j you.” Just here the anxious black face of Isaiah peered over the white gate.

THE CIGARETTE HABIT.
•S BECOMING MORE POPULAR AMONG CHICAGO WOMEN.
Smoking Outfits for Ladies in Department Stores an Indication of Practice—Some Shops Cater to Sex. Chicago,--The cigarette habit Is growing in popularity among Chicago women. This is vouched for by the tobacco dealers, the beauty doctors, the hairdressers and by certain physicians. The Cibacco dealers, who ought to know, say they did not realize, until a few weeks ago, the extent to which the cigarette craze had spread among women. How they did learn It was through the scare that was caused by the announcement that after a certain date cigarettes could not he sold legally in Illinois.
Shortly after the newspapers printed accounts of the cigarette’s obituary the tobacco dealers say they were flooded with telephone calls from women, all of whom wanted to know how much truth there was in the report that the new law was to become effective. Of course none of the women who called up w'ould give their names or addresses, but the fact that they called convinced the dealers that some of the cigarettes that had gone put ever their counters had not been smoked by the men who took them away. The dealers say that comparatively few women purchase their own cigarettes. Tho beauty doctors learn of (he cigarette habit as it applies to women by the presence of the odor on their customers’ breaths when they visit the beauty shops. Most of the women smokers indulge the habit at night, the beauty doctors say, so that all
from their breath before the following evening. Some of the beauty shops have operators whose duty It is to remove cigarette stains from the fingers of their patrons. That women smoke cigarettes to no small extent is proven by the presence on the counters of the department stores of complete cigarette smoking outfits. There are dainty little handpainted ash trays and match boxes; silver scissors and holders, the latter designed to prevent the fingers of the smokers from becoming stained. Also there are cigarette boxes made especially to hold the small, tightly rolled Mexican cigarettes, which are the kind used largely by women. In one of the State street stores the young woman behind the counter in which these things were displayed said that business seldom was dull in her department. The physicians of Chicago rapidly are learning that women smoke cigarettes to to an extent that Is none too good for their health. Some of those women who have called in a physician to treat them for certain nervous maladies have been Indignant when the same physician ordered them to give up cigarettes. Always they deny that they have used tobacco in any form, but the doctors say that excessive cigarette smoking never falls to leave its peculiar effect on the heart action, and that they seldom are deceived by those who try to make them believe they never smoke. Over on the west side are several small cigarette shops w'hich cater especially to women. The brand of "coffin nails” made by them differs materially from those smoked by men. They are longer and not so thick. On one end is a mouthpiece of hardened paper to prevent the tobacco from coming in actual contact with the lips. None of the downtown dealers could estimate, in figures, the extent of the habit. They all agreed that most of the feminine smokers were women of the fashionable world and that the passion for cigarettes is on the increase. Because the cigarettes consumed by the women seldom are bought directly by them there is no way of telling, the dealers say. just how many women are taken with the habit.

BUGS OVERRUN TOWN. Lock Haven Has Snakes. Toads and Worms to Burn. Lock Haven, l*u.—The plagues seem to have struck the city. Some days ago a blacksnake was discovered in the cellar of the Cupper & Nitscha tobacco house, on Bellefonte avenue, but it continually eluded its would-be slayers. Later a blacksnake, supposedly the same.one, entered the rear door of the Louis Cluster grocery, causing a hasty retreat on the part of the clerk. Miss Miriam Sykes, who, as might be imagined was greatly frightened and fled to the street. His snakeship was left In full possession for a few minutes and was then shot. A large blacksnake got away in tho St. Charles hotel, and was found in the rolled curtain above the transom over the door, from which it was dislodged and killed. After Iho recent rain thousands of tiny hoptoads appeared on the streets and sidewalks of the city. They were especially numerous on Water street, about the mayor's office and attorney's row. But a pest far more destructive is the cutworm, which devours vegetation. It is something over an inch in length and as thick as a lead pencil. The worm remains under the ground during the daytime, working on the roots of the plants, and at night comes forth and devours the leaves of the red beets, beans, cabbage, tomatoes, potatoes, and even eats holes into small green tomatoes on the rtalks. It is also doing bad work in many of the tobacco fields.

She had given him his ring and said she never wanted to hear from him again. And so, after two years' absence Frederic Smith came riding down the road, and paused at last at a tiny, vine-covered cottage. A woman of uncertain age, but whose hair was almost white, was gathering roses In
the garden.
The young man threw the lines over a post and was at her side in a mo ment, a glow of genuine pleasure in

Mattoon Man Gets $130 Per Ton, Highest Price of Season. t Mattoon, 111.—There has not been | a time in ten years when the clean- , up of old stock in the central broom corn district has been as complete j as It is at present. A few scattering lots of choice j brush remain, and this is being eagerly sought for by the manufacturers, I whose stock, in nearly all cases, is at low ebb. There has just been made ] a sale of 20 tons at $130 a ton, this j being the high figure for the season, though several sales at $125 have been reported during the past two I weeks. So far as known there are only two blocks of choice Illinois stock of any considerable size remaining in the I central district. The high price commanded for j brush has been encouraging to growj crs. A canvass shows an Increase of ! fully 7 per cent, in acreage for the present year. These figures indicate a plant of 31,000 acres, as against 26,000 acres last year.
Miss Mary Matthews, of Baker, Kan., Ran a Rural Route. Sahetha, Kan.—Miss Mary Matthews, an attractive young girl of Sahetha, is a rural mail route carrier now. Miss Matthews is a daughter of J. I*. Matthews, a rural mail carrier. Mr. Matthews has one of the best rural mail carrier records for promptness in the United States. For two years he has not had a vacation. This year he took a month off and his daughter is delivering the mail. Miss Matthews has hardly failed in an instance to keep up her father's record for promptness. Mr. Matthews’ mail wagon is at the appointed house on the appointed moment, with probably greater regularity than the average railway train. And Miss Matthews has kept this record up. All along Mr. Matthews’ route people go
to their boxes at certain hours and they invariably find their mail. The fact that Mr. Matthews changes horses half way on his route, tt was feared, would cause Miss Matthews to lose time. But it did not. She made the change in four minutes, which is all her father devotes to the work. Of course, the man at the house where horses are changed has the animal harnessed and all ready for hitching to the cart. Miss Matthews was paid $65 for the month's work, as any substitute would have been paid. Her father also drew his salary. Miss Matthews is a student at Baker university, in Baldwin. She is taking a five-year course. She is assisting 'n her college expenses by acting as librarian in the Knglish library a few hours each day. Miss Matthews is fitting herself for a librarian. She will leave soon for Baldwin to take up some special summer work in that line. She is just 20 years old.

Some Members of New Cult to Be Punished for Not £4'.x*«r.g. Newport, Ky.—Mayor Helmbold, 1 president of the Anti-Mustache and 1 Whiskers club, which was recently or- | gauized in Newport, will call a meetI ing to investigate the charges that have been made against some of the members for violating the rules of ! the organization. Over a month ago the club was organized in the city building with a membership of 15. Kules and by-laws : were adopted, whereby each member was compelled to dispense with his i mustache or whiskers until October 1,

The president of the organization will have the club demand that these members abide by the laws as adopted. City Clerk Pete Krebs and Deputy Arthur Llewellyn are the members who have failed to continue to wear a smoothly shaven face, and tjiey will be dealt with according to the rules of the club.

! The Old One of Richmond, Where Kings Have Died, Is for Rent. Tmnrton.—A rare opportunity of leasing an English royal palace is now offered to any one whose ambition tends that way. "The old Palace" of Richmond, which has come into the market, was formerly part of the royal palace at Sheen, once the home of Anglo-Saxon monarchs, and has a history almost as interesting as the Tower of London. Edward III. died there iu 1377. After his death the palace was pillaged by the servants. Richard 1L, with Geoffrey Chaucer as Clerk of 'Works, added greatly to (he building, and Edward IV. settled It on Queen Elizabeth. At the end of the year 1497 it was burned down. It was rebuilt in 1501, and Henry VII. died there In 1509, having it is said, treas ure of the value of $9,000,000 bidden in vaults which have not yet been dis-, covered. The last royal person to reside in
the palace was Queen Charlotte, to whom a lease was granted in .1817. The palace faces Richmond Green. It contains five reception rooms, ten bed rooms and two bath rooms, with stables and conch houses.
Girls Solve Man Famine. Hillsboro, 111.—A famine in men which threatened to mar a dancing party here was uniquely solved by the girts of the town. Fifteen of them dressed in men's attire and escorted an equal number of girls to a dance. In the small hours of the morning they took tho young women to their homes and then made their own w’ay home alone. It is said that similar affairs will he made a feature of the remainder of the summer social season, as the famine is permanent. Most of the young men have gone to the < ities to make their fortunes. There will be reason why persons in the blue hook should be blue enough if they are obliged to pay taxes for the privilege of being listed there.
Finds $48,000 Long Lost. Pittsburg, Pa.—After knocking about in the letter box of a hotel for nearly seven years, an envelope containing two certified checks aggregating $48,000 has been restored to a Cleveland merchant, who has had $96,000 on deposit as security for the missing palter. November 26, 1900, A. E. Mas. ten & Co., brokers, closed a transaction for a Cleveland client, who received two certified checks, one lot $40,000 and the other for $8,000. Both checks were lost, and payment was stopped. By accident the checks were recovered. The clerk of a downtown hotel found an old yellow envelope In an old desk. The Cleveland man had addressed the envelope to himself, dropped It in the letter box, and forgot all about It.

ptiteh Is Close On* and Should Be Worked Rather Loosely— Pretty Ribbon Adds to Ita Attractiveness. This bib may be worked in soft knitting cotton No. 8. and a medlumatzed bone hook, or in Andalusian wool as preferred. The stitch being a close one, it should be worked rather loosely throughout. Commence with 8 chain, turn and work a double crochet into each stitch, turn, 1 chain, pass the hook through the two nearest threads of the last made double crochet, that is the one that curves, and the front top one, *, draw through both, and complete the stitch like double crochet, take up the same two threads of the next stitch and repeat from * to end of row. Worka double crochet into the turning chain and turn, 1 chain, repeat the last row 24 times, always commencing the row with a chatn-stKch, and always crochet into it at the end of the row, turn with 1 chain, and work 12 stitches only, turn, no chain, work into each of the stitches, and into the last made turning chain (13 stitches), turn, and work forward and backward again, no chain at either end, turn, pass over the nearest stitch, work to and fro 12 stitches each way, turn, pass over one, and repeat last row, but make an extra stitch at the neck when working forward. From this point decrease every - row by passing over one stitch at the outer edge, but also increase every
third row by an extra stitch at the inner edge (or neck). Continue this until there are only six stitches left, fasten off and work the other side of the bib to correspond. Work 1 chain, 1 double croohet Into every other stitch all round, working a little more tightly round the inner edge, so as to shape the neck. Round the outside work a double crochet under 1 chain loop, and 5 trebles under the next alternately; same round the neck, only 4 trebles instead of 6 in each group. Round the inside of this
last row just below the top of the trebles work a row of chainstitches In sllkollne, either white or a pretty shade of pink or blue. Thread round the neck with a chain of the cotton and silkoline of sufficient length to form strings and finished with tassels. Thread round the outer part of the bib with -ji-inch ribbon. The bow should have a safety-pin sewn to it, by which the bib may be J secured to the dress.

A Cool Hat. Green hats and green trimmings are one of the late summer’s introductions among popular fancies. A smart one was seen recently with a white linen suit.

The chamois skin coats are loose little affairs, smartly shaped to the figure at the hack, the fronts opening to reveal a "perfect dream of a blouse,” a frothy mass of lace, fine lawn or mousseline de sole. Some of these coats have the sleeves clashed up the inner seam to reveal •Tie dainty, frilly blouse sleeve beneath. Others, again, are sleeveless.
