Faith Carson's NEW YEAR.

•£r‘||f HjER town was *■ fjTj I named Cramp MyllflwW W'U Hollow and her *QS| 1 HSfc v h ? uso '™ s a trZfcjM MMr tiny house. 1r I — Jg * The great barn i*'*W I Iff near it would " have held a half-dozen such houses. Faith lived with her father and mother, who were farmers and came

(from an old stock of farmers, a fact of which they used to boast. “Farmers are the most independent 'critter?* livin’,’’ Mr. Carson would frequently say. i “1 don’t see as they are any more independent than other folks,” Faith .would reply. “Seems to me we have to work for all We want, and then we don’t always get it” “Of course we can’t naterally expect to git things without we work for 'em." “Farmer Carsqn emphasized the word “work.” Work,' according^to his mind, meant labor among fields and vegetation. “Work tftrtong a few bibs an’ tuckers don’t amount to muph,” he continued, with a sidewise glance at Faith, who was buisly washing the supper dishes; *’l mean real work that keeps a man at it arly an’ late.” Faith flushed. The “bib and tucker” shaft had struck home. She knew he was thinking of Oscar Blake, a dry goods clerk. She replied with more spirit than deference. “I suppose store work does fail some times, and potatoes give out once in awhile!” This time her arrow found its mark, for hadn’t Mr. Carsorfs potato crop failed this year? All the while Faith knew that it really was not so much “city store work” to which her father objected as it was to the clerk, who two years ago had passed a summer vacation among the hills surrounding Cramp Hollow, and who had formed an acquaintance with Faith, much to Mr. Carson’s'objection. He was afraid Faith’s head would be turned by new-fangled notions and she would want to leave the old farm. Oscar Blake was not a dude. He was simply a good, straightforward fellow, who, by merest chance, had the opportunity given him to go to the country. He did not even choose the place. He was sent there by an old city resident, prho, in his early boyhood, bad lived them

A clerk, who was Oscar’s chum, had been ill a long time, and, as they were friends in their poverty, Oscar had tended him devotedly, and this, in addition to his clerical duties, had nearly prostrated him. By some fortunate discovery the chum had turned out to be a nephew to Oscar’s rich employer, and he, to show his gratitude, sent him off to recuperate, with a promise of promotion when he returned. Oscar found the woods and fields charming, and Faith Carson he pronounced more than charming—angelic was the word most frequently in his thought. But Mr. Carson guarded Faith very jealously and suspiciously, and when he wasn’t guarding her, her mother was, which was all perfectly right and proper, only it didn’t give the lovers half a chance to be comfortable. All know what becomes of girls who are cautioned against falling in love with particular somebodies; they generally go straight off and do it And Faith was no exception to the rule. Although Oscar did not find opportunity to “tell his love,” yet it did not seem to “prey upon his cheek,” for it grew plumper, fresher and browner every day. Never a chance could he get to see Faith alone. The day approached when he must leave. He had written a note to Faith, pouring out his love in it, and asked her if he “might com 3 to claim her as his wife the next New Year’s day—for her to send him just one word after he was gone if he might.” After it was written the foolish boy didn’t know what to do with it. He could not even get a chance to put it in her hand, and as for sending it to the village post office, that plan would never do, as Mr. Carson would be sure to get the letter first At last a strange bit of fortune favored him. He was passing through the kitchen and Mrs. Carson, who was particularly good-natured that day, was showing him some of the old-fashioned belongings of the old house. Among other things she opened the door of the old-fashioned brick oven, long since relegated to the past in favor of a “range.” Its capacious mouth looked large enough to swallow almost anything, and as she turned away to make a remark about something else Oscar quickly slipped his letter inside and shut the door hurriedly, with a bang which must liavo made the ashes fly inside. In his excitement he forgot that the oven had not been opened for several years, and probably would not be opened for years again. As he passed out he glanced mysteriously from Faith to the oven door, a look which she failed to interpret, as she did not happen to see him placa the letter there. The day of parting came. The autumn

“I HAVE COME FOR FAITH.”

r passed and no word carhe from Oscar to cheer Faith. “He has forgotten me,” she sighed softly, but she remembered at parting he had whispered: “New Year’s.” Would he come then? The day came and ended and he did not come. “Then he did not mean that,” and she reproved herself for thinking so. All this time Mr. Carson’s mind was partly on his potato prop failure and partly on Oscar. “It’s kinder strange we hain’t heerd from him or of him sence he went away,” said Mr. Carson, taking it for granted that Faith would know “him” meant Oscar, and forgetting that he had emphatically declared “there should be no letter writing or any sich nonsense.” “Arter all, he appeared to enjoy oldfashioned things. I ’member how curious he looked into the old brick oven.” Faith remembered it, too. Soon afterward Mr. Carson left the room. With a curiosity born of sentimentality she felt as if she wanted to look into the old oven. She walked leisurely toward it and opened the rusty, creaking door. There was the fateful missive. She took up the letter mechanically, wondering what it coild be. It was addressed to herself and scaled. In her excitement she closed the door with a bang which startled Mr. Carson, who was reentering the room. Faith’s face was white and she was breathing hard and fast. She felt as if she held a message from the dead. “What have you got there, Faith?” he asked. “I don’t know, father. I just looked in the oven, as Oscar did, and 1 found this letter there. It is directed to me.” Mr. Carson approached her and looked at it through hastily adjusted spectacles. “Sho! Sure enough! Bead it now!” Faith read it, but to herself; then hanoed it to her father with flushed cheeks. Mr. Carson read it slowly,

then placed it in Faith’s hands without saying a word. “Yon see, now, father, if he could have told me about it it would have been all right I suppose he thought I would find it soon, and now :t is over two, years. It is too late Sow," and here h%r voice grew pitifully Weak and trembling: “but 1 shall write likn at his old address, just once, though I may never hear from him agaie-. Perhaps this is what he meant by whispering ‘New Year’s.’” Faith took her letter and went siowly to her room. Mr. Carson lookvi after her with a sigh. “So—that’s what’s been the matter with her, an’ I’ve ben a-doctoria’ of her with sarsaparilla an’ other arbsl Guess they won’t cure her. I might as well let things take their course!'’ Faith wrote Oscar a dainty little letter, telling him of finding his at that late day, and simply salfi: “I would have written you if I had found it sooner.” Oscar was not at the old place. Her letter wandered from place to place, forwarded by Uncle Sam’s faithful postal clerks, until it reached him one happy day in the midst of rising fortune. It found him still free, except for ties of love for Faith. Only four mort days and the new year would be here! He started hurriedly for Cramp Hollow and walked into the old kitchen from a blinding snowstorm. He glanced for an instant toward Faith, sitting by the fire a'hd leaning her head wearily against that old oven door; then marched resolutely toward the surprised old farmer an&d said: “Mr. Carson, 1 have coma for Faith!” Mrs. Carson dropped her knitting work, Mr. Carson dropped his newspaper and said in a broken voice: “Then I have faith to believe you wttl get her.” And he did the very next day, which was New Year’s day.—Chicago News.

ABOUT PINEAPPLES.

They Cost Five Dollars Apiece In England and All OvSr Europe. In England and all over Europe pineapples, or “pices,” are eaten only by the fe w who Can afford to raise them in hot-housfa or pay the extravagant prices for which they arc sold, says the Youth’s Companion. So rare are they on th? other side of the Atlantic that they are sometimes hired to impart a crowning glory to banquets, where they may be admired and longed for, but not eaten. In England a pound, or five dollars, is considered a reasonable price for the hot-house “pine,” and even in this country as much has been paid for choice specimens of the fruit at the season when they aro not in the market. Until within a dozen years nearly all the pineapples raised for market were grown upon the Bahama islands, whence they are shipped by swift sailing vessels to New York or Liverpool. To-day the principal pineapple producing. district of the world is the United States, on a group of five small islands or “keys” lying on the extreme southern part of Florida. These keys arc Elliott’s, Old Khoades, Largo, Plantation and Upper Metacumba. On them less than seven hundred acres are devoted to the cultivation of “pines,” but from this small area four million five hundred thousand pineapples were shipped to New York in one year recently. The shipment from the Bahamas for the same year was about two-thirds of this amount, while less than a million and a quarter were brought into the United States from other West Indies islands. The mainland of southern Florida has algo begun to produce pineapples in great numbers. On the island of Cuba the sugar planters are just beginning to convert their unprofitable canefields into pineapple patches. The Bahama pineapples are deteriorating on account of the impoverishment of the soil, and the growers are turning their attention to sisal hemp. On the other hand, the area of “pine” - lands in south Florida is being extended with each year, and such pains are taken in gathering the crop that Florida “pines,” like Florida oranges, now command a better price than any others.

Pineapple plants, frequently called “trees” by the growers, rarely attain a greater height than three feet, and are provided with still, sharp-pointed leaves like those on the top or “crown” of a pineapple, except that they are much longer- In fact, the crown of a “pine” is in itself a perfect plant, and, if thrust into the ground under proper conditions, will bear fruit in eighteen months. The pineapple has no seed, but is propagated from slips or suckers. Several slips spring from the base of each perfected fruit, while the suckers shoot from the bottom of the plant. Each plant produces a single fruit and then dies, but its suckers become bearing plants a year later, while its slips, if thrust into the ground, will yield fruit in eighteen months. About ten thousand slips may be planted to the acre, and of these twothirds will bear fruit. Thus the yield of pineapples is about seven thousand to the acre. If growers could be certain of realizing, one dollar per dozen on every crop pineapple-raising would rank among the most lucrative of agricultural pursuits, but the present lack of transportation facilities and the dependence of the growers upon commission merchants diminish the profits greatly. The pineapple is perishable, and there are many chances against its reaching a distant market in good condition, consequently it is generally considered best to sell the crop in the field rather than run the risk of shipment.

A Song; for the New Year. • Outstretched upon a snowy bier Lies the Old Year; His slow pulse stilled, his last breath sped—- “ The King Is dead!” Across the threshold New Year stands, His rosy hands Laden with gifts. Bing, Joy-bells, ring! "Long live th« King!” —J Torrey Connor, la Good Housekeeping.

The Haymow. Whene'er I rise at morning-song. And see great cloud-banks black and long. And hear the drumsticks of the rain Beat softly on the windowpane, I know at ball I may not play. Nor wander down the meadow-way Where vines with juicy rubies grow, And like white wheels the daisies blow. But when my study-task is done, Out to the havmow I may run, And climb upon the rafters high Where round the nesting swallows fly. And twitter n their silly fear Because they think a robber near; To be a robber's not my plan, But play that I’m a diver-man. The hills of hay, these are my, sea. And seem like waves far under me: Down, down I plungejwith merry vim, Then swiftly to the shore I swim. And climb once more, and leap again Into the middle of the main: It’s so much fun that If 1 can Someday I’ll be a diver-man: —Clinton Scollard, in Leslie's Weekly. Honey ta the Heart. I read to-day of a petrified tree. Lying fifty feet under the ground. And, adding more to the mystery, In its heart pure hbney was found. No one can tell how long ago The tree in the dust was laid, And no one now can ever know When the busy bees their honey made. ere long, In a dreamless sleap, Like the burled tr&) wo shall lie: The honey we've stored In our hearts will keep, For the sweetness of life cannot die —Margaret May, In N. Y. Observer.
