Shepherd spent a quarter of an hour n a rain attempt to read a inagazine, then he tiling it down and start'i Si random across the rolling anil Vuishiny green of the fields. A shadowed lane tempted him for a mile or Mi, luit when be saw the patli running head f him into the hoi glare of a liiidiwny h paused uncertainly.

And tbi is a line job for Lydia Farrow." lie plowed through tha dual doa godly, while t Uppy took to the roadside, dodging HUOng the low bushes Hid keeping a wary glance oer his shoulder for a possible pursuer. Proceeding in this skirmishing order they reached a turn from which could be soon a little bridge, spanning a peaceful brook, and, on tin- bridge, a girl with a green sun Umbrella. She was holding the umbrella over something M'hind her, and she did not observe i lie two pedesl rians, "Hey, Miss Fairer." yelled Cuppy, Miss Fairer turned ami Shepherd w aved bis hat. "Hello. Lydia," said he. "What in the world have you got there?'' "I have a pig here." answered tiic young lady. "I am afraid the pig is overcome by the heat. How do you dO, Walter?" "There's a sight more chance that vim are overcome by the heat ymirsoif." retorted Shepherd wmthfully, und, in spite of lur protesting gasp, be si ie,i the umbrella and shaded ber pretty head with it. This maneuver imvc him a chance to shake hands with her, and left the pig exposed in the clow. "Say, he's a dead one," remarked Cuppy, The small animal lay apparently moribund on the planking and emitted a feeble wail w In n Bnepneru poked a toe gingerly agalnat his some w bat emaciated think. "(Ih. dear, what Shnll we do?" said the rirli "Do y ou think it is going to die? Auntie is so severe when 1 fail in inv d utiea."

Do you believe that if we sprinkled water on the poor t hing " "bit's throw him in the brook." muttered Shepherd between hit teeth He'd appreciate it. ami so would i " "No, no, no," cried Mi-s Farrow. "Your handkerchief." Shepherd gave her one wild look and vaulted over the low railing at the side of the bridge. He soused his handkerchief in the stream, clambered up the bank and squeezed out tin water over the pig. who was reduced by this demonstration to the last ax tremity of terror, lie rolled about involving himself in the cord around ois neck; he squealed; dissolution seemed Imminent. "I don't know much aboajt pigs." said Shepherd, desperate because of the genuine trouble in l.y dill's big gray eyes. "Do you. ( uppy '.'"

She leaned rather wearily against the railing and contemplated the hot stretch of road. "Ihit I urn tired and thirsty," she added. "What's that place up on the slope?" Inquired Shepherd, pointing to the right. The place was where a rude bench stood under sonic heavy overhnnging trees Ott the neighboring hlllaidt Tha clear water of a sprin spouted generously out of n rock MOM hy it plashing into a pool, and the dark green of the foliage surrounding it made the spot stand out on the knoll like a bower. "That s the that s a why, a storing," faltered Lydia. "The farmers call it the 'Lovers' Well,'" explained Cuppy, Miss farrow blushed slightly. Shi OOUM not help it; Shepherd was look ing straight at her. "hvdin," said he with stern deter in ination, "you and I are going to wnlk up there and you shnll rest yourself. It is absolutely ridiculous for you to think of promenading through the sun with this beast Cuppy shall guard the pig. You'll take cure of that pig, wont, you ( 1IPPV?" "Yep," agreed that eager ytuth "foiuc (M, Hill." Shepherd picked up the green um lirclki nnd closed it witn a snap.

"But Aunt Elizabeth," the girl de

murred "Mie will be angry. She will say Fin not tit for lUvlngtCO Street." "I advise von no) to introduce thOM subjects at this moment," said Walter, pulHhgber bam! within the cru..k of his elbow, in an old-fashioned but an extremely comfortable way . "Here is the path. Goodby, ( uppy. Cuppy, however, was already invisible in a rapidly moving cloud of dust, from which the ludiguaul Squeak of the pg drifted back i ml i Kt Oft iy to the I.OVels Well. l.ydia laid her hat on the bench, and a bashful breee played will, l.'-r hair. Shepherd brought her some Icy spring water in a pocket drinking cup. They elaborately discussed the

mechaniam of the eup, and then, after a pause, thev talked ot other things, Perhapa it is unnecessary to pacify tlio topics; Aunt Elisabeth and Kivingtoa street did not figure bnpor laut ly among t hem. "bet us go back across country, BUggeatcd Walter, when it was time. "Very well," said Miss Farrow. "I think we can tind R way along the brook. It will be better than the road." The yav along the brook excelled the road in every particular. It led tin in through thiCK woods where in the half light tiny seemed to be quite alone in the world. Hut on a rldga which skirted a cleared hollow' Shepherd was reminded to the contrary. "Look," he whispered, grasping Lvdia'a arm. This was no effort, beause she was close bestdS llim. "it's the botany class," she anSWered, and tbey both peered down through the interlocking leaves. Mis.s Qibbs, beneath an incongruous BUnbonnet, towered ill the center of circle of .-.wed and perspiring ttf bins. A swamp lily, evidently the subject of lu r discourse, nodded deiectedly in I uplifted hand. I he botany class did not appear to be in terested. "bet's run." said Shepherd. "Wail." said Miss l'armvv. "Don'i . , ' f A fx you near somcining coming.- un what is it? Oh, what in the world is if.'" On the other side of the clearing where the class was in session the bushes were swaying and crackling as if a miniature cyclone were career ing through them. Aunt Elisabeth's scholars dispersed nnd dahhed ex pectantly toward the disturber of hoiastie quiet; Miss bibbs herself remained rigid. Not. however, for long. "Sho. sho, sho!" cried Aunt Klinboth, waving the lily at a maddened pig, who cease for her at a gait ni aa f . . ! l near to a trailop as pigs acinevc. ibo, sho!" "Hi!" senamcd uppy. "Hey!1 howled the botany stu dents, and pert uinrd a war Isnec. The pig flew between Aunt Eliza beth's feet and there fell prone, pant ing in extremha, and the lady sat involuntarily at his side.

Ue not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with uiiod,II oiii. MtOt, NOT KS AND i nMMKSrS. The story of the meeting between Joseph and hit brother in Egypt i oue of the quaintest in ail Bible his.ory. It has a mingling of humor and pathos that is truly Unique. We sec ill it also the f uluTlincnt of his boyhood dreams of authority. It inaugurates, too, the story of the Israelites in the land of Egypt, So it la not merely a story with moral; the incident leaves u impression on all subsequent Jewisb history and literature. It was a seemingly small t hing -the coming of Jacob and his wife and children into Eg) pt, but it entailed a series of evi ntj of gigantic import ,ii the his tor v of the world. The pathos creeps out in the attempts of Joseph at different times to keep back the tears and keep from revealing himself to his brothers. There is a vein of humor in the imprisonment of Simeon 1" ensure the safe return of the rest, and in the mvsterl ous returning of the money w it h which the men had pan! for their corn. A curious thing in the working of the human mind is shown when he ssks them to return with Benjamin, their youngest brother, how they are reminded (Gen. 42:21-22) oi their crime against Joseph in whose presence they at that motm at were, unknown to themselves. Altogether it was a piece of the utmost goodnatured revenge, and ila ike it would be hard to duplicate. Joseph quietly worked upon their superstitions, on their guilty coaecieueca, then finally made himself known to them. For the whole storv read in CJenesis. Chapters 42. 43, 44 and 45. The lesson may be made to turn upon two points. The first is thoaweel revenge thai may be had by n tun good for evil. The story can very res ! Ill be imagined that would have lu e:, written had Joseph returned evil for evil. His brothi M W re absolutely in his power, their very lives were in his hands. In this connection also it msj be noted that In these years he had learned the wisdom of humility. He said nothing to n 'mind them that Inhad dreamed of his future a see n da 1 I v ; he did nothing to keep them in min 1 of their dependence upon him. The other lesson is that of the providence of God. To Joseph God was always very real. Everything was due to (Jod, (iod was in everything, ruling and overruling in accordance with liivine plans for the good of His children if only they would serve 11 im. It was (iod ((Jen. 4T:7) who sent Joseph into Egypt for the purpose of saving their "lives by a great deliverance. It was God who had givt 11 him his posit ion of prominence in Kgypt. It is a lesson that would make the lot of every man, woman nnd child SSaler to-day if it were heeded. God rules, and nil thlnga work together for good to those who love God and seek to do His commandments. If God governs the affairs of men. why should man worry about the outcome of his little plans? The purposes of God will be worked out no matter what we do. and all will be well with us if we will but work in accord with Iiis evident purpose. If your lot is hard, it is for the best, mskc the most of it. "Righteousness shnll finally triumph. Truth may he in a dungeon and iniquity upon the throne for a time, but nmt always. Joseph may be sold as a slave and subsequently imprisoned, but one day he w ill come to his proper place. One of the most reasonsble arguments for the future life Is found in that sense of justice within us which declares that the wrongs that are not righted in this life will be in the life to come." PelosbSt. Orapes of ( anaan. The pigment or lire ia umae in the heart. God may cast us out of the nest to teach us how to fly. A men docs not possess what he has, but what he ia. Love ia the only lever long enough to reach the heart. It may take nil time to determine the ralue of one seed. Chrlatinn joy is the soul tuning itself to the heavenly chord. When money Is your only friend you naturally hate to part with It. Kamu oes

PRICES AND TARIFF REFORM.

How a lleadjaataavat Ktauald Me Mada la tha lofrrral of llutue Laaaanuera. We live the authority of Mr. Ilanna that 'he protective tariff is too hiientiflcalij adjusted to 1st meddled with.

There is no doubt that Mr. Ilanna ia technically right in his estimate of the way the tariff has been nd justed, and yet the way the present tariff was built was very simple. Kaeli manufacturing or producing Interest, except 'he ordinary farmers- and planters, was invitd to come before the republican mem her a of tha wayaaud means committee with a sehedul" that would protect ,ts particular Industry, and the whole were then arranged under the same schedule as the MeKinly tariff had been. Of curse there were lOma who wanted more protection than was given t hem, t he rate beinjr adjusted to BUil the general scheme. The WOO growers wanted a prohibitive tariff, but their interests clashed with the carpet and woolen mSBUf acturere who wanted free raw material, and here was where the scientific adjustment came into play.

FACTION CONTROL. President Hooaevelt llaa (oit Work t at Oat for Ulan to Keep Pfart. Ilia After a national election the committee of either party as far as the active operation of polities are dead except to meet and call the next na tional convention. The chairman Of the successful party has generally had emus iderable to say about the disposition of the patronage, and for this reason Mr. Ilanna has been especially dis I Isguished. By the death of President McKinley Mr. Ilanna aa a disprnsor of patronage will cease to exist. It is quite possible that if ha cannot agree with his brother senator from Ohio he may not he able to even dictate the Ohio appointments. His open opposition to President Hoosevelt when three-fourths of his party were calling lor his nomination as . president cannot 1 but have left n feeling of nonconipatibility between them. So Ilanna will be looked upon as a dend duck instead of a dictator. There are other senators who will be somewhat in the same fix, auch as l'latt, of New York; then there are others who have been nursing preaidcntial booms, such as Fairbanks and Spooner, which will have to be postponed to a more convenient season or perhaps like other ambitions laid awsy for ever. Thst President Rooaevelt will demand another term, as an indorsement of whatever policy he may eventually decide upon, is certain, and unless a powerful senatorial cabal is brought about to nominate a more subservient candidate, he will be nominated without opposition. From present nppearancee President Roosevelt intends to placate all the factions in his party, but he lacks the patience and diplomacy of his predecessor, without which entire unanimity is rarely accomplished. He will also have to throw overboard many cherished notions, auch aa civil service reform, control of the trusts and reform of the tariff, all of which the great majority of the leaders of hia party see absolutely opposed to. So there may be peace amongst the factions of the republican party, but there sre many evehts that will happen before the spring of l'.iW that may develop the most intense rivalry and excitement.
