If you were to walk to-day through th buryj: g gTOUDd ou the hast Hill, you would read tbe story upon Um little wbite t.a:. ., Illicitly set in the reell gTaas. It was a hard climate for little children. In tbOM days, when traveling to a mw eouatry v.a done by wagons, it was customary for wagons to join a train, whether strangers or not; and when one or two or three dropped out. to Ott thought it strange, or indeed thought Of it at all. For this reason one knew w hen Diadamie came or aliere she lived. Xho people of the village knew her only as a peddler of the herries that rW gmongtl tbe hills. These berries were rich and sweet, and were keenly relished where fruit was ulmost unknown. The housewives had learned to expect Diadamie some time early in Illy, and thereafter once, twice cr perhaps three times a week. Diadamie' approach to the Tillage was across the creek through a covered bridge, which brought her suddenly to the foot of the main and only I tree t. Bbe carried large basket upon her bead, and as she emerged from the bridge her clear mellow voice rang out gpoa the summer air: "Old Diadamie, buk-ke!l-berries." This call was re-

peated from door to door, until the Inst

:f M.e little shining berries were dis-

i ten of. I hen unoimiiwoannin one small purchases at the village it ore, always including a stick or two of bright red and white striped candy, after which she walked out across tinstretch of level road and disappeared ,:i the shadow- of the mountain. Why she tailed herself "Old Diadamie" was a mystery. Her figure was itraight and slim, and she walked with a quick, firm step which does not belong to Ige, Her eyes were blue, but of so dark a shade as to be easily mistaken for black. Her hair was deep black, with a strong tendency to curl bed it not been lashed back with bands und pins in her effort to subdue it. Her BOUtk was large nnd strong, and when he laughed she showed that every tooth was of amazing whiteness and perfection. Diadamie wore a dress of ladiga blue calico, with a sunbonnet tif the same materlnl. She was always Scrupulously clean and neat. DiadanÜe'a house was little more than a hut. It was built of logs and had but one room; it was situated upon the top of the mountain, hemmed in nd sheltered by the dense forest. Hut Diadamie did not live quite alone. No, he had Tietro Tietro, who knew her only at Nanan. Walled In by hug drifts of snow, the winters were drear enough to this strange pair. When summer eamc, and Diadamie was obliged to spade and plant her garden, and later to go on long walks gather

ing berries, ami afterwards to tramp to the village to dispose of them, the dayo were long and lonely for Tietro. It w

then in the silence of the mountain

that little Tietro' brain was full of

iniaginings that caused him to ask

many bewildering questions of Diadamie upon her return. Tietro sat nil day long just as Diadamie had placed him in the rudelyconetructed chair, which was high enough to enable him to look c ut of the Window, There wan a rest for the long, thin, useless limbs, and a cushion for the misshapen back. For hours Tietro would sit listening to the wind In the trees, and wntching the patches of sunlight upon the soft green moss. Now and then a gray squirrel would run up an.l down the trees; but no sound from lir outside would ever reach Tietro't airs. He had never sewn s living being but Diadaaiie, Tietro'sarms were long; and thin like his lower limbs, but they were not so limp. He could use his hands and arms, but he had never lked a step. Diadamie alwgys dressed hin la long loose gown, gath

ered in full about hla slender little I

so that the folds would fall over his poor ahgpelch body and . over bis tiefortuity. Likewise she had let hiaycllow hair grow lung, and trained it to fall in soli, loose our la over his shoul

ders, reaching far down below where he should have had a waist. Tietro's face was alvvuvs white, and his eyes were us large and bin. it the speedwell Hu er. Dia.lainic bad returned fron her first trip to the village. Sac stooped down and kissed Ticlro's cheek, then stepped back und with bat hands behind her bade him guess what she had brought him, "t'uinly," exclaimed the little boy. How well he knew. "Yes." laughed Diadamie. Tietro unrolled the little package with gbinlng eyes. How beautiful it 1. oked tn the little creature -those two twisted iticke of rid anil white sugar. The berries were now ripening fast, and Diadamie, anxious to increase her

store as much as in-.i.c. pad re

in. lined out lunger than usual. It wafast approuching twilight when slit

climbed up the noun tain side and

truck the little path leading to her

lnui.se. Once she thought she heard a

cry like a child but no, that could not be; yet she quickened her steps. Again it came, and this time clearer. She stopped to listen a moment, then hurried on. Within a few rods of the door she heard Tietro call: "Nanan, Nanan." Diadamie answered the call with u clear, reassuring tone: "Here. Tietro, here is Nanan;" and in a moment she

had her arms around the f rightei.i d

hild, soothing and caressing him.

"What lias frightened Nanan s little

boy?" Tirtro's face was blanched; his

eyes w.-rc staring, but he was too ter

rified to speak intelligibly; be omy

pointed to the door, then hid bis lace

in Diatlanne's dress. It was a long time before he was sufficiently quiet to tolk. end then all that Diadamie

He sits for hours quietly looking at the snowy btene; yet he seems contented. He has a habit of K.iiiling to himself- a little, alow niile that plays around his baby lips,

then steals InytO his clear blue eyes, to fade away with seriotu w onderinent. The Bold air nffecta Tietro badly; ho breat lis in short, p",tnful pupa, and eats but little. All day Saturday the snow has been f tiling. Sunday morning Diadamie arose early, ami built a tire in tin fireP i. e which bland n tid crackled cheerfully, Then she carried in more logs, swept the snow from them, and built then up dose to the lireplsce enough to last all day, so that she might not have to bring in snowy wood to chill the air for the suffering child. 1 he day dragged by. DiadsnUi fell a v eight upon her heart ,rom which here was i.o relief, for it was plain that Tietro was not so well. The stillness of that saOW-enntonbed mountain was awful. She could not interest Tietro in any way. Defore i: was quite

dark he wished to go to bed; Diadamie laid him down tenderly, tucked him in and kissed him many times, but he onlysmiled in answer to her good-nigh; and soon fell asleep. Diatlaniie piled the logs ou the lire and the blaze filled the room with a bright glow. Tietro slept on and breathed more easily now; and after one more look at his wasted face, she threw herself down on a rude couch a: the foot of his bed and fell asleep. When she awakened the fire was low, and she seemed to have been dreaming. She surely heard Tietro laugh. She opened her eyes slowly, and when consciousness had fully returned she was too terrified to move; for the room was filled with light-a moving, billowy, cloudy light, opaque like a mist, yet brilliant.

Ito entire popUMtlOB is materially less than that of the state of New York. ant) its area is 40.C00 square miles, a thousand less than this state. Yet it has become one of the principal grain exporting countries of Kurope. Since the country was turned int.i one of peasant proprietors by the division of the crown estates, the cultirgtlon of cereals, and especially of wheat, has increased largely, and with it the exports. Last year Roumania Shipped from her Danubian ports 25 pet seat, more grain for export than she did in 1-'.'.",. and of this total wheat was the chief item. Last year's wheat crcn In Boanaala was 7O.0uO.O00 bushels, which, in view of the size of the country, is enormous. Nor is wheat the only froduct of this Danubian kingdom, for t nrn. or maize, ns it is called there, is raised to the value of $2VH)0.noo a year, and the product of lnrley is 10,000 tons a year, and of rye Iüo.imm. The importance of these figures will be seen when it r stated that there is 00 per cent, more rye raised in Ilotimania than in the entire United Kingdom, and that the corn or maize crop in Roumania is larger than in any European e untry,

Yet as she approached the house, she surely saw a light. Diadamie' heart stood tili, but she tried to call to Tietro that she was coming. Yea, a clear white light shone from the window. Then she ran ran with the swiftness that love and terror lend crying aloud: "Tietro!" She rushed breathlesaly into the room, to find, to her utter bewilderment, Tietro sitting quietly in hio chair, aa ohe had left him except that there was a strange light In his eyes, nnd a smile of deep con

nmoun in a year to more than 2(K).000,000 bushels, ami the average yield to the acre of cultivated land is z: bushels, w hereas it is only 20 bushels in France and Germany and only ten in Italy nnd Kussia. A table appeared some time ago in one of the European cientific journals showing the average yield in bushels of grain to the inhabitant in the various countries. In this computation the I'nited States stood at the head with an average of 40; Denmark's average was nearly as large, and three other et tntries had an average of 23 bushels each, Dussia. Sweden and Ilotimania. The average in France was 2o, in Germany M ant! in the I'nifetl Kingdom eight. The lowest of European countries wns Switzerland. The shortage of grain crops in many European countries has led to nn unusually large demand, of which the I'nited States, as the chief grain-producing country of the world, is getting the largest benefit, but other countries w hich have surplus for export are gaining some advantages, too. and Honmania is one of the countries sofavored.
