Hy Louise .. H V x' ' '' . . . 't. . CHAPTER IV. Janetta onlj stayed long enough to listen to a few polite inquir i as to whether she had suffered any inconvenience from the accident, then rose anil asked leave to retire for the night. "You can go if you wish," said Clarice; "but please don't imagine that Harry and I always need to be left together. I ara generally down in the drawing room in the evening. Tonight was an exception, Good-night. Tell me if you are not com Portable." Captain Merivale rose and opened tte door. Then Janetta bethought herself that it would only be courteous to return down-stairs and wish Mrs. Mortimer good-night. She found her seated before the fire, reading a novel. "The interview was a long one, and therefore I conclude successful," she fiaiJ. laying down the volume. "Miss Seymour is quite delightful, and kinder than words can say," answered Janetta eagerly. "And ou feel the world beneath your feet? So it may be for a time. You will bo the reigning favorite, just becaus? you happen to be blessed with a. handsome face and figure. Prize them whilst you have them; when you lose them the world will )ass you by.' "The world, perhaps; but not those whose love one has won already. I shall think poorly of myself ii I have not made a single frieni." It was the second effort Janetta had made in their brief acquaintance to reach Mrs. Mortimer's sympathy; apparently it failed. "Snail you like it when you see another step into your sk.xs?" Janetta rose. I am very tired. Will you think it rude of me if I go to bed?" she 3aid, not answering the question. Mrs. Mortimer's attitude towards her did net greatly disturb her. She had a bright, wholesome nature, and felt It possible to outlive the lady's unspoken jealousy. Besides, the days that followed wers so full of delightful and exicting experiences that she had no time to trouble her head with what Mrs. Mortimer thought about her. Clarice Seymour had taken an impulsive liking for her new companion, and poured tokens of her favor upon her. The very difference of character between the girls possibly made them greater friends. Janetta was strong, self-reliant, and self-contained, even-tempered, and accustomed to give help rather than receive it; Clarice was capricious as the weather one day all smiles and sunshine, the next at war with herself and the world, railing at the fate that kept her helplessly tied to the sofa. Yet through all her varying moods she possessed a fascination for all about her; and Janetta condoned her fretfulnes3 and waywardness for the grace and charm that peeped out constantly, even in her most irritable moments, like specks of blue sky on a cloudy day. "How old are you?" asked Clarice suddenly, when Janetta had been with her for about a week. "I believe you are years younger than I am, and yet you have a kind of motherly way with me when I'm wicked and cross, as I am today." "I'm two-and-twenty," said Janetta, with a laugh. "And I am four years your senior, and yet I feel as if I were a child and you a woman; you are so tall and strong, and you make me feel comfortable even when you are sitting in the room. You are making me a monster of selfishness. Do you know you've scarcely been out of the house since you came?" "I don't want to go out. I'm never dull with you." "I've told Harry it must not go on," said Clarice. "I've sent him off to hire a bicycle for you, and he'll take you out; it will cheer you both up. I wonder sometimes if Harry will get tired of waiting for me do you?" "I think the very fact that you are delicate, and need so much petting and love, would make me love you all the more." said Janetta. "Ah! that's a woman's view. I wonder if it's Harry's. I often want to ask him, and I'm such a coward I dare not. If he wants his freedom he must ask for it; I will not give it him." "I think," Janetta said, rising to rearrange Clarice's cushions, "if you fret yourself over imaginary Ills you won't he down tonight." "1 shall If you leave me quiet!" cried Clarice, who had not ceased talking for the past hour. "You'll promise that you'll go out with Harry?" "Oh, yes; I'll go if you like," said Janetta, who was learning that the simplest way of managing Clarice was to humcr her whims. She looked such a picture of grace and strength when she came down ready equipped for her ride, in a neatly-made coat and skirt of some dark material, relieved only by a brightcolored ribbon In her sailor hat, that Captain Merivale gave her an involuntary glance of admiration. "My mistress' orders are that I'm to take you for a good long ride," he ald, wheeling round Clarice's bicycle. "She says she has kept you too tightly tied to her sofa." "It is the place where I like best to be," Janetta answered, with perfect incerlty. Yet the swift ride through the bright funshine of the February afternoon was real enjoyment, and the companionship of a clever, cultivated man like Captain Merivale was intellectually invigorating. They were racinj along the broad road that stretched like a white line for miles along the top of the el Iff a when Jenetta began to slacken gpwd. "Tired at last?" cried Harry, wlta a triumphant laugh. "I thought I would Jut let you have your fling. Tou must be magnificently strong to keep tip a pace Hire that." "I am not tired now," retorted Janetta, with shining eyes and flushed cheeks. "I could go on for milts and mllea. but Miss Seymour will be glad t s us back." MX)o you know why I brought you

eV "Bedford. v . - . . this way?" asked Harry, with a sudden change of tone. "We are close to the very spot where Clarice was thrown over the cliff on to that projecting ledge of rock that you can see if you get off your bicycle for a minute." Janetta jumped off, went to the edge of the cliff, and peeped over, with shuddering interest. "I wonder she was picked up alive! Were you with her?" "Yes," replied Harry shortly. "It was hard lines on us both, wasn't it? We had been engaged just a month." "She's getting better, isn't she?" "I do not know. Sometimes I think" Harry came to an abrupt pause, and Janetta did not ask him to finish his sentence. They pursued their way home at a more sober pace, and Janetta felt the brightness of the day had departed with the relation of that sad litue story. Thej- found Clarice on her couch in the drawing room, every vestige of illtemper gone, looking her best and brightest, arrayed in a new gown of soft texture and bewitching hue. "Yes, I hope you are going to say something nice to me," she said, with an arch smile at her lover. "I had it made a.s a glad surprise, and came down partly to gratify my own vanity, and more to annoy Doctor Drake, who told me to stay upstairs this evening. Instead, I've invited him to dinner and put on a new frock." "I care little for the motives that brought you down, as long as I And you looking so happy and pretty, if I may give expression to a truth," said Harry, sitting down by her sofa. "Mrs. Mortimer, will you be kind enough to give us some tea? We are hungry and thirsty after our ride." Mid. Mortimer looked more glura than usual. She had employed her afternoon in lecturing Ciarice upon the impropriety of sending out Janetta with Captain Merivale, and Clarice had answered her remonstrance with merry, derisive laughter. "I'm not afraid to trust then-. Harry is going to marry me; but If you feel like that, dear Mrs. Mortimer, take a tricycle and follow after them," she had remarked, a little flippantly. "If harm comes of it " "No harm will come," interposed Clarice, a little sharply. "Janetta is the soul of honor, and of Harry there is no need to speak." "You have known her for a week," said Mrs. Mortimer. "And she is as easy to read as a book," Clarice had said. And there the subject dropped. "I'll tell you a secret, Harry," "said Clarice, when they were left alone for for half an hour's chat before dinner. "I've ordered a new dress for Janetta an evening dress such a pretty one, and it's on her bed ready for her to put on tonight. I want her to look her best. She knows nothing about it." "Will she wear it, do you think?" asked Harry, a little doubtfully. "I shall be furious if she doesn't. I want Doctor Drake to take a fancy to her." "So that's it, is it you are turning into a matchmaker? A dangerous game, Clarice. I advise you to drop it." To Clarice's intense mortification Janetta, who did not come down until the dinner gong sounded, appeared in the simple black dress that she wore ecry night. Neither did she and Doctor Drake seem to find interests la common; for although he took her in to dinner, and talked to her as in courtesy bound, when he came into the drawing room afterwards he seated himself by Clarice's sofa, and devoted himself to her for the rest of the evening. CHAPTER V. "Janetta, I'm going to call you by your Christian name and you can call me Clarice," announced Mis Seymour the following morning. Janetta looked up from her writing with a swift shake of the head. "1 should like you to call me JauetU, but I prefer to call you Miss Seymour. "I've been waiting for your faults to crop up. I feared you hadn't any: but I've found you out now you've a very nasty pride." Janetta laughed merriiy. "How have I shown it?" "Twice already. You didn't put on that new dress last night, you decline to call mo by my proper name today." Janetta's colors came and went. "Did it seem horribly ungrateful? I had a hard struggle with myself before I knew what to do, and then it seemed quite clear to me that 1 must keep my independence, and wear my own clothes as long as I can earn money enough to provide them. You are so kind and good to me that you ignore my true position: but I must remem ! ber my own, and respect its conditions. ! It does not seem flttlne to take vour j gifts and call you by your name when I am really your paid companion. We are not on equal terms." "It seems to be as if we were on very equal terms; both of us are orphans at least, I think you told me that you had neither father nor mother living." "Yes, they are both dead," said Janetta shortly. "And because I happen to have more money than you, why should you mind if now and then it pleases me to give you things? I have not many pleasurea." "You don't really know me, you see. In your generous, impulsive fashion, you've Invested me with various qualities which, as you know me better, you'll find I do not possess." "Tou think my friendship Is like Jonah's gourd that it will wither la a day or ao," eaid Clarice petulantly. Whaterer topic of conversation might be started, Janetta noticed that it always veered round to one or two subjects either Captain Merivale, or the likelihood of Clarice's recovery. With a heart at leisure from Itself, she grew day by day more painfull

interested in vhat the future might hold in store for the two whose lovestory was being enacted before her eyes. Sometimes she suspected that the passion of devotion must always have been more on her side than his. His manner to her was gracefully affectionate; but for herself she felt that she would have demanded something warmer from the man she was going to marry. "I shall go to India with a much easier mind now that I know Clarice has some one with her who will mako her life so bright," said Captain Merivale one afternoon, as they were returning from a walk by the sea. "It is good of you to say that," Janetta answered. "I need not assure you that I'll do everything I can to make Miss Seymour happy. She's the kindest friend I ever had, and I'm glad I've got to know you so well. I like to think that, when she gets better and you marry, I shall feel that I may keep you both as friends." Captain Merivale did not answer for a minute, and Janett- glanced up at him a little uneasily, and saw that he had turned rather white. "Yes," he said carelessly, "we've been capital friends ever since we met in that curious way on the railway, and I pulled you through the window." Janetta felt puzzled and hurt by his manner. His tone was studiedly indifferent, and he referred pointedly to what had been, rather than to what might be in the future. She thought, with bitter mortification, that in her eager sympathy with him and Clarice she had proffered friendship which l ad evidently been regarded as an impertinence. "With all my boasted independence, I've forgotten my position," she said to herself reddening with vexation; but her resolve was taken at the risk of vexing Clarice, she would have no more walks or talks with Captain Merivale. She did not make her way as usual to Clarice's room that afternoon when she came in from her walk. She felt as in her inward annoyance might find expression in her face. She was considerably surprised as she entered her bedroom to hear the quick shutting of a drawer, and Mason, with some appearance of confusion, began to close the window and draw the blind. Janetta was certainly not suspicious by nature, but the girl's manner mad her feel certain that she had been tampering with her things. (To be Continued.)

MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE. The Only Man la the British Cttbtitt Who Could Speak French. When the Marquis of Lansdowne was governor-general of Canada he had tc make a speech to the French-Canadians, says M. A. P. With all its loyalty to the English connection, thii little bit of transported France adherei very rigidly to many things French.and especially to the purity of the French tongue at least as it was spoken Ie the eighteenth century. Few viceroyi have ever ventured accordingly tc leave the safe security of the Englisl tongue, and it was with some trepidation that the French-Canadians heard that Lord Lansdowne was going to deliver a speech to them in their owe language. But he had scarcely uttered the word "messieurs" when the whol audience burst into cheers; they recognized at once the accent of the tru French tongue, the accent only possible to a man of French blood, and on who had spoken French as his mothei tongue. It is perhaps this accomplish ment which had something to do wltl Lord Lansdowne's latest appointment When some one remonstrated wltl Lord Salisbury for retaining the tw offices of prime minister and foreigi secretary, his reply was that he couH not help himself, there was but on member of his cabinet who could speak French, and that was Lord Lansdowne. And now Lord Lansdowne will receive the foreign ambassador! every Wednesday afternoon.and whatever else may be found fault with, hia French will be faultless. Lord Lansdowne's mother was a daughter of Gen. Flahalt, one of Bonaparte's officers. Toronto Star. Cleaning and rnlHlilnfr llraas. There are many substances and mixtures used for cleaning and polishing brass. Oxalic acid is the best, but N must be immediately washed off and the brass dried and rubbed with sweet oil and some polishing powder, otherwise it will soon tarnish again. A very good preparation for polishing is made of one ounce of oxalic acid, two ounces rotten stone, an ounce and a naif sweet oil, and turpentine, enough tc make a paste. When used, a llttla water Is added and the brass is rubbed vigorously with this. Brass work that is so dirty by smoke and heat as not to be cleaned with oxalic acid, should be thoroughly washed or scrubbed with soda or potash lye. Then apply a mixture of equal parts of nitric aud, sulphuric acid, and water, with a swae made by tying a piece of cloth to the end of a stick, rubbing the solution over the dirty or smoky parts. Leave the acid on for a minute, then wash clean and polish. Care must be taken not to get any of this acid mixture n the hands or clothes as it is very corrosive.

George GotsJd's 'Purchase.

Mcwk

The magnificent Eagle-Dragon group which was brought over from the Paris exhibition by Tiffany & Co., of New Y'ork, and is now being exhibited at their establishment, has been purchased by George J. Gould and will added to the grand collection of works of art at his Lakewood, N. J., homo Georgian Court. This is probably one of the most remarkable examples of wrought iron work ever seen in this country. It was ordered by Kmperor William II. to crown the center of the Court of Honor of the German .section at the Paris exhibition. It represents a great eagle of heroic size, with outSpread wings, struggling with a gigantic dragon, which is held by the eagle's talons. The group symbolizes the contest of liberty and truth with oppression and superstition the eagle being the emblem of freedom. The eagle measures twelve feet from tip to tip of the expanded wings and six feet six inches from the beak to the end of the tail. Its weight is 4,200 pounds. The dragon measures twenty-two and one half feet in length, though much folded and coiled and weighs 6,000 pounds. The total weight of both pieces is therefore 10,200 pounds. -A Famous Old House. Even the Indian Territory is beginning to have its "ancient" landmarks. In Fort Gibson stands a house -built in 1S33, which is old for that region. It was once the home of Bushyhead, formerly chief of the Cherokee Nation. The house is now occupied by an Indian family, distant relatives of the old chief. It was built about the time the Cherokees were removed to the Territory and for years it was pointed out as "the finest residence on Grand River." It has sheltered some of the biggest men in the country. Under its rafters have stopped President Taylor, James G. Blaine, General Sherman and scores of other well known white men, besides many of the most prominent Indians in the country. When the government first established Fort Gibson this house was used as officers' quarters. All the big social "functions" of the officers' society were given in it Many women in the exclusive circles of Washington society have 'n their younger days danced beneath the rcof of this house. It was in this building BUILT IN 1833. that Upton did much work upon his book of tactics. In the house have been signed some of the principal treaties made by the Cherokees. Here, too, have been laid plans for the Indians to take the war path, and in it have been signed peace agreements. Fort Gibson is now a city and the house stands in the part of it known a.s "old town." There is a legend among the Indians that when Upton was stationed at Fort Gibson and occupied the house he got many valuable hints for his tactics (or at least for the revision of them) from Chief Ross and other Cherokee chiefs. Value of the Crops of 1900. The Department of Agriculture estimates that the farmers of the United States received $1,861,406,000 for the corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, potatoes, and hay raised by them last year. This gives only one side of the account. The derartment docs not pretend to estimate the cost of production of these crops. Were it able to do so with some approach to precision it would be possible to form an idea of the profits of the American farmers for 1900. Guilty, but JVot Yroi)ed.

In an accident which wrecked the east-bound Southern Pacific limited express at Mills City. Nerv.. Clinton R. Coulter, the former well-known bicycle crack, and three other persona were killed.

This is exclusive of the iron base and rock mound on which it rests. Their weight is fifteen tons. When mounted the group is sixteen feet three inches high. This was the most important group in forged iron shown at the Paris exhibition of 1900 or any previous ex.'n!:ition, and is of great artistic merit as well as a. wonderful piece of mechanical technique and ingenuity. In size it far surpasses any similar werk before executed. The eagle and dragon are beautifully wrought in artistic detail. Tha modeling is wonderfully strong, and each individual feather possesses ail the variety of form and size as would an eagle's feather. That painful detail so often present in work of this character is pleasingly absent. The group is a happy combination of idealism and realism, none of the strength of the latter being lost in the blending with the former. The Japanese iron eagle at the Columbian exhibition of 1893 measured twenty-six inches across the outspread wings, while the famous Iron eagle in the Science Art department of the South Kensington museum measured twenty-eight inches across the wings.

tTjp Superimposed Turrets. The reported accident to the thirteen inch gun of the battleship Kearsarge, which has the superimposed turret system, undoubtedly will be thoroughly investigated. At least it should be. The details of the accident are not yet known, nor is it known whether the guns were disabled, as it was claimed would be the case should an accident happen to any of them. In this connection it would also be interesting to know what has caused such a radical change of opinion on the part of the Board of Naval Construction, it is not long since the superimposed turret system was rejected by the board upon the ground that difiiculties in operation of the two turrets and the danger that the same shot might disable both rendered its adoption unwise. Now ten out of the twelve members of the board have voted not only to abandon the old turret system adopted for the battleships Virginia and Rhode Island, but also to equip all of the seven new battleships authorized hy congress with superimposed turrets. It is also iutimated that the new system may be used on the Illinois, Maine. Missouri and Ohio, now being built on the old lines. This according to the latest judgment of the board, would secure a homogeneous new fleet, and hence the greatest efficiency. Ex. O-Verdoing Expositions. In view of the various expositions which have been held since the Chicago world's fair and the projected plans for still other expositions, there would seem to be at least some danger of overdoing the matter. To mention only the fairs which are to be held in the near future, Buffalo will open its Pan-American exposition this spring, the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian exposition is scheduled to open next December and the St. Louis centennial exposition in commemoration of the Louisiana purchase is to be opened in 1903. The Ohio Centennial and Northwest Territory exposition, which was to have been held in Toledo in 1902, has been abandoned, but New Orleans has a fair in prospect in the remote future in celebration or the interoceanic canal.

T Make Mincemeat. To make delicious mincemeat use the folowing ingredients: Two pounds raisins, three pounds currants, one and a half pounds lean beef, three pounds beef suet, two pounds moist sugar, two ounces citron, two ounces candied lemon peel, two ouncs candied orange peel, one small nutmeg, two pounds of apples, the rind of two lemons, and the juice of one, and a half pint of brandy. Stone and cut the raisins once or twice across, but do not chop them; wash, dry, and pick the currants free from stalks and grit, and mince the beef and suet, taking care that the latter is chopped very fine; slice the citron and candied peel, grate the nutmeg, and pare, core and mince the apples; mince the lemon peel, strain the lemon juice, and when all the ingredients are thus prepared, mix them well together, adding the brandy when the other things are well blended; press the whole into a jar, carefully exclude the air, and the mincemeat will be ready for iu-e in a fortnight.

A WISE DRUGGIST. Tor 95.00 He Gu;ir:intM to Do That for Which a Lady Offer Him SIOO. Kansas City, Mo., Feb. 2.". I'jOI. (Special.) Some two years ago a local druggist engaged in a transaction which was in its details somewhat remarkable. He was visited by Miss Anna P. Nichols, who had a doctor's prescription for rheumatism, whb-h the druggist was fining. In the course of conversation the good la y sa d: "1 would give one hundred dollars to g-1 well." He Immediately replied: "Giw me five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you." She agreed, and he at once handed her a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, saying: "They are 50c a box. Two boxes may cure you, but I am quite sure that ten will." Miss Nichols tolls the story as follows: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are veritable life preservers. I -was troubled for five years with Rheumatism, so that at times my ri-ht arm se-med paralyzed and I could only walk with diSiculty, and could not go out of doors if the air was damp or cold. I took so much medicine that I think my system was poisoned rather than helped. One day when my druggist was putting up a prescript un for me I remarked to him that I would give one hundred dollars for a remedy that would make me better." " 'Give me five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you,' he said. 1 readily agreed and he handed me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, saying, Thty are 50c a box. Two boxes majeure you, but I am sure that ten will.' I left my prescription intact and. intead, took these Pills, and I found them, as I said before, to be veritable life preservers. Before I had finished the second box I had my first perfect night's rest in years. I gradually improved. I had determined to use the ten boxes before I would give up. but Imagine my surprise to find that before half that quantity was used I was completely cured. This was two years ago, and I have not had a twinge since." Miss Nichols is Vice Crand Paxt r. Rebekah Lodge 1. (). O.

Mrs. Ella ltiee, of Chelsea, Wis., whose portrait we publish, writes that she suffered for two years with bearing-down pains, headache, backaehe, and had all kinds of miserable feelinps, all of which was caused by falling1 and inflammation of the womb, and aftr doctoring" with physicians and numerous medicines she was entirely cured bj Mas. Ella Rh k Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. If you are troubled with pains, fainting- spells, depression of spirits, reluctance to go anywhere, headache, backache, and always tired, please remember that there is an absolute remedy which will relieve you of your suffering as it did Mrs. Itice. Proof is monumental that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Comund is the greatest medicine for suffering1 women. No other medicine has made the cures that it has. and no other woman has helped so many women by direct advice as has Mrs. Pinkhum: her experience is greater than that of any living perfron.
