Intense feeling emphasized her win!, and her itn!een listener found himself wondering what personal ex)rience had prompted them. Amy iirav luted her eyo.

UuUide the bre rang among the tree-tot and raffled the ahiuiiig boafm of the riw. The Augut MHumiMe lay mellow oa the grmw, but he hearrl nothing, sawnothMg. The tea bell rang maidenly and startled him out of hkt meditationa. The girU dhmpiieared with mueh ehattr and gay laughter, and he roe meuhanicauy ami walked like one iu a dream down through the garden ami on Into' a little grova beyond, bfe one thought to be alone where no human eye could mid to hi torment with iU quetioMing glance. lhwre, under the trees, where he and Dora played in childhood, he walked to and fro, one rientanee ringing in hw ears like a sentence of doom: " We can all ee tlie loen't love lorn. ' H waa hard to come down from the pinnacle where he had imagined himindf crowned kimr of one heart. When Dora, only fifteen, had give him her hand so confidingly ae thev walked 'together in thic very grore ouly it wac morning then, and springtime, and the air wm filled with the went of wild crab-apple bloom, and ihe wore them at her throat: how plainly he could Me her now, all In white, and the pink of her cheek mi like the dainty bloowii h had taken the gift unquestionably, and no doubt had ever availed him. He knew her devo tion Ut art and was prottd of hr wjee--;, but lie had never dreametl that it would be hw rival in her aneetiori. Have I been so bNnd?" he quetioni'd. "0. mv little Dora!" SoiiHthing mitftt be done, and that at once. Mi on mi he so to flora and aK u thce thing were true? That would be like .ayiiig; "Have you been deceiving rae all'these years?"' Ho could not do it. He mutwait, with what mttence he could, until he could decide for him self. He wa very thankful that Dora had not quite decided to be married in the fall, as that would be one teat he coukl put her to. It is something to have an idea that can be acted upon at once, and lie retraeed hi steps toward the house with thw one purpose ia view. How .shall he find a minute in which to sek alone with Dora? He feel that he can not liear the auepense until another da v shall come, and the mutters to himself; "Fool! What if it mut latt a KtVtttue? What if I am never to know?" Am he reached the niaxaa a girliah voice cried out eagerly: "O, Mr. Long! where have you been hiding yourself?" and in an instant he was surrounded by a laughing group, who scolded and questioned with suh vivaetty that their victim leumt ft Hnneeeeean to say a word: it was, in fact, quite imiMMSibie. Then Dora rose from the rien. Here, Dora!" cried Jfclith Stanly, "here is the deserter. What shall be done to him?" And they led him be fore his bright-eyed judge. Dora hau never before seemeu to him just as she did at that moment so far away, as if a great gulf were fixed between them. He could scarcely believe in her bright looks, everything seemed so unreal, his me was so shaken to its uitdatiOHs. It was only by a great effort that he aroused himself to make some commonplace exeuee. Dora's first careless glance at his pallid face changed to one of alarm. The light from an open window fell ft t . t; .i it.. i upon ii ami ne w its tieauiy paitvr. ' hy, t-red!" she cneu, "you careless boy! Ton will be shitt again, Come ami nave some tea.- Ami sne leu the way to the dining-room. How he longed to say: "Come, Dora, I have something to tell you," and then, having her all to himself, pour out these miM'rable doubts and fears ia her ear and so be free from them. But no here was this crowd of chattering girls besntes, she must not Know tie hau such doubts. ven if she said, "1 love you," could he be sure, she was not say ing it because she believed it to be her duty. And so he finished the evening as bst he could, and all night long hn heart tormented him with eeaselese questionings. Several days paosed before he found an opportunity to speak alone with Dora. The house was filled with number of young gueets, and Dora must be everywhere. Fred Long was just now taking well-earned vacation. After years a of hard work and months of illaese he had come back to the home of his ohildhood to regain lost health ami strength. He had called this the happiest summer he had known, but now an untimely frost had spoiled its beauty. Among the friends whom Dora was entertaining her cousin riorenee rreeman wi the only one he had previously known Naturally they drifted together during these miserable days, ruth JJora he was suddenly ill at ease and restless; her quick eyes noted the chance, and looked about for a cause. Those same quick ejr es noticed the walks and talks with couem riorenee. "n wentier sne admires him," she said, with a sharp little pang at her heart., mentally con trftsting tall, handsome Florence with her own uttw self. Presently the flock of merry school girls took night. 'Only Ftoronce, ami you, ami 1," said Dora:'it as it used to be." But for loth the old charm was dest roved One day they walked together along the bank, ami uora sani: "uur piay time is done." "Yes, he answered: "I mu- go back to my law Imoks ami you must have time for your painting." A light came into her eyes. "Then I am to go on painting?" "Yes." he said, slowly.

At other times be could almost believe himself mistaken all these months a fearful dream when her eves met his so earnestly and seemed filled for a moment with the okl, warm light. They sat together one day upon a little rustie seat, ehatting and resting after a walk. Fred had taken some letters from his pocket whioh he wished to show to Dora. A picture fell from amour them. Dora stooped to recover it. Cousin Florry," she murmured. and Fred began making some common nlaoe remark' unon Hs eorroeoness.Then, glancing at hie companion's face, he was startled at its deadly oallor. "Dora!" he cried, "you are ill. We walked to far You must rest." "Ko. I'm not IN." she said, almost sharply. "How lovely Florence is." "Yes. indeed. She i wall-nigh perthe world," taking her little, ooid hand in his. "Without Dora the world is meaningless to me." Dora's eyes were scanning the dist ant hills. She made no reply. She was steeling her heart against him. 'He wants to be true," she thought. "but I will have no such love." "Dora, you are not happy." "She siartod. "Kot perfectly so What mortal is?" "It seems to me wouhl be if aniy things could be as they once wore between us." This was the first allusion he had made te the fact 'that he had nnnooi any change in their relations. Dora realixed that a crisis was coming. She simply awaited it in silence. She would neftlicr strive to avert nor to hasten it. "I hare sometimes feared that yon and I have been mistaken. That is the right word, I think. If so, I love you too well to ask you to keep a promise which has become hateful to you."' Dora rose from her seat; a sudden fire flamed in her pale cheek. She held her hand out toward him the dear little hand that wore his ring. Something in her air bewildered him. He stood a moment mot ion less, then sefced the hand in both of hh own She shook him off impatiently and drew the ring from her finger. Xow he understood. "Without a word, Dora?" ho said, struggling for self-command might battle for life against the waves "What is there to say?" asked Dora, her voice clear as a silver boll, while her eyes shone like two stars. And again 'he told himself that Re: She is glad!" And so they parted. The tie formed almost in childhood was broken, and they went their separate ways. Day after day Dora's pale, resolute face bent over her canvas, and she steadied her trembling hand for greater achievements. She worked too hard, they said. She was too ambitious; she put too much of nor life-blood into the strokes of her brush, and a few mouths ended the struggle. -, He eame again to the.; dear hi house beside the river; a orowd of friends hid gatnered there, but Dora gave them no wolconr.

Ooe thickness of flannel ioooely pinned around the abdomen is enough for all noeded pwi pinniBi A very practical wardrobe for an infant, that answered all the demands of health and comfort, was mado by a young mother for her first-born. It consisted of long-sleeved, high-necked shirts of woolen, with eotton, similarly mado. to be worn, over them. The binding of each petticoat was banted to the bottom hem of the shirt oorreapotuung to it. or eyeless hole were . r t a - if . li a.1. otkou in oinuing ami new, ana wie two laced together with soft cord.

At three or four months, according to season and vigor of the child, the skirts can be short ened. A child as young as three month; has been trained to dispense with nxnkins by careful attention to regularity in attending to Nature's wants. The trouble required to reach this result U more than offset by the gain to all concerned in comfort and health. Drawers of cotton flannel, tri angular in .shane. buttoning together. can b made to cover the limbs and should be susnendod from the bottom of the shirt by little tags, one on the back and two in front. A rubber cloth for protection is objectionable, because it keeps the body in a vapor bath. Unbleached muslin will answer the purpose, but neither should be used constantly. For children of all ages the funda mental rulea for dress are warmth of the whole body, perfect freedom of limbs and internal organs, and softness of material with simplicity oi style. All clothing should be suspended from the shoulders. The feet of the infant are best incased in soft, square-toed woolen socks: they should never be thrust into stiff leather shoes.

The Mew Boy Aaaerta HtaMM and The new boy had moved in that is the family whieh owned the new boy had moved in. It was quite likely the new bov would show up ia the back yard during the afternoon, and so after school seven boys headed that way. The new boy had only been seen from a distance. Was he sassy? No one could answer! Would he light? No one could tell. He must be tried! It was the solemn duty of every boy in that neighborhood to make this important discovery at the earliest possible moment. If he could be licked, well and good; if he was a lighter ! .They breathed hard over the thought In half an hour seven heads appeared above the alley fence behind the boy's house. lie seemed to be expeeling them, and had heaped up a peck of green tomatoes at the foot of a plum tree. The seven glared down at him. He glared lip and back. "What cher want?" It was the new boy; and there was "sasa" in hh tones. "None ' yer bianess!" It was one of the sevsa whs answered. "Git oft'n that feaeel" "We won't!" "I say git off!" "Shan't do it!" The new boy stooped for hie tomatoes, but when lie raised up the seven heads were gone. It was settled he was sassy. Would he fight? "You there?" from the alley. "Who?" from the yard. "You daan't tight?" "Yes I daU" "Dasn't come over!" "You see!" He came over. It had been settled that Johnny Flynn should taokiehlm, and Johnny was ready. He grabbed for the new boy's hat, and the new boy grabbled for his ooat, and they tugged ami twisted. "Sick him, Johnny!" Clean him out!" "Pull his hair." But the new boy had the boat of it He came down on top of Johnny and goured his eye and bit his finger, and offered to lick any one else in the crowd. His father came out just then, and the seven ran away, bat the evidence was all in. 'The new boy would not ouly sass and fight, but hs was 1mw. Before sundown that night he had been presented with two big bites from an apple, three marbles, a ball of kite string and half a pound of brown sugar in an old straw hat, and other boys were waiting to shower honors and present upon him at sunrise.

When the International Railroad was fiaishad to the valtoy of tno ftio Frio, soma hundred miles south of San Antonio, one of the surveyors in following the gorge of a rocky creek, cams across what he sunnosed to be a pan ther's track, or rather a beaten trail of such tracks. loading up to the rooks of a lateral ravine, which he hesitated to eater, when he heard some tiling like a querulous mewl of youug kitteas. his colored attendant refused to advance another step, but in the valley below they mot two cattle soys, to wnom they told their adventure, and who at once agreed to accompany them, with the iu-for-fun reamness oi we native Texan. The only pistol wan en trusted to one of the boys, who, oa that condition volunteered to eater and returned the pistol with an indif ference justified by the event. They had not yet crossed uie mam creea when they heard a wailing screech ia the bushes above, and every now ana then saw the bereaved mother slip along through the briar tangle, or peep out, as if trying to get a farewell look at her "pups . At me next chrhcu ot that sort the surveyor banged off his pistol in the direction of her head and saw the ball strike the ground a couple of yards short, but the shot had served its purpose. Mrs. Puma dodged back and never showed her face again, nor ventured to remonstrate by another appeal. The Felin concolor has been lcarded in his own den; nay, two years ago the California papers published the report ot a uerman termer who naa been out cattle hunting with his Mexican neon, and happening to spy the crouohing form of a puma in the fork of a tree, offered the Greaser one dollar to get him Uie skin of Uie feline. The Mexican had no sooner realised the liberality of the proposition when he flung down his hat, oooly advanced unon the tree and killed the puma witu a common butcher's knife! Southern Uivoume. CORN AND COB MEAL. Ita Tjsft(M FtMw4 hs CoaantUa Wttk Corn Cobs, when finely ground, have a nutritive value 0.4 that of the grain, consequently, if we suppose that m corn and cob meal there would be 18 lbs. of cob in 100 lbs. of meal, and if clear corn meal were worth $ 1 per 100 lbs., then 100 lbs. of corn and oob meal is worth nearly 90 cents. In number of experiments in feeding pig. the corn and cob meal proved to put slightly more gain uimn pigs than clear meal, caused, no doubt, because the cob made more bulk in the stomach, and rendered the meal more porous, so the gastric juice could circulate through the mass, and thus produce more complete digestion. If an equal weight of cob meal, oatnaeal and wheat bran be mixed, it wtt sake a good food for milk. If finely ground, there j is nothing injurious in the cob. JJutit would improve this ration to mix S lbs. of decorticated cottonseed meal with it; but it is not safe to feed the undecorticated. This ration should also be mixed with some short cut fodder to make it still more porous, and cause it to go to the first stomach, be raised and remaeticatcd. This subjects it to the macerating process of this stomach, and causes it to be well mixed with saliva in remastication. These are all important steps in digestion. When corn and oats are fed without grinding, the kernels often pass cattle whole, showing that it passes on through the stomach without remastication; but when meal is eaten with ooarser fodder, it must be raised and re-ground by the teeth.

Am OOMal That Aaereky I la the Klre. The Imperial Government has presented to the Reichstag its statutory annual report on the application and effects of the Socialistic law. with more especial reference to those cities and districts which again bad to be placed under the minor state of siege. As regards the general present condition of Social Democracy ia the empire the report states that the movement ia spreading rather than otherwise, despite the repressive means employed to combat it; and this result is partly due to the revolutionary fuel supplied to the party m Germany by the Anarchists of other countries, nf oreover, its members continue to bold frequent public and private meetings, and their influence is especially strong in trade unions, whose effective organisation has boon manifested within the loot year by comprehensive strikes. Again, the organ of the party, the SocuU Demokrat, still retaik ite inffuence, and is smuggled into Germany as extensively as ever, in spite of ait the means employed to keep it out. The principles which continue to be preached in this publication aim at a forcible up turning of the present order of things.

Of this arnarchie print, five thousand copies are struck off in America, where only about five hundred remain for home consumption, while the root find their way to Europe, especially to Germany and Austria, whither they are sent without any chance of their ever being paid for. In recent numbers the Freihtil has concerned Heeht with the theoretical formation of Arbeiter-Bataillone', or workingmen battalions; and described, in minute and scientific detail, how explosives may be chemically prepared, stored and employed for the destruction of life and property.' In Berlin itself there is no sensible decline from the "extraordinary height" reached hy the Social-Democratic movement at the time of the general elections, and the seeds then sown continue to grow with luxuriant strength. To what extent tills is the case may bo partly inferred from the fact that within the last year the poKoe have had to dissolve meetings and issue interdict in no fewer than one hundred and seventy-five oases.
