By tl. VV. O CHAPTER XIX. (Continued.) "What is it, Mr. Dikes? Not a million ot dollars bid upon any of this land?" Lizzy cries, in great amazement, and with a jumping of something in her throat. IIushI Shet up! Lemmy lissun!" But Mr. Biler turns away and looks at the crestfallen gentlemen who represent the S. & N. W., and -who are now upon their feet, and walking out of the door. "Huntley, I suppose you'd a run that co&l-ground up to two millions rather than lose it! Joy of your bargain I Hope yon won't lose more than a million on that purchase. There are other good coal lands besides the Wickly plat" Then there is such a roar of shouts and cries in which "Lizzy Wickly, Lizzy Wickly," and "Huntley, Huntley, Huntley!" axe the uaudible words. "Git up un show yourseff at the winder. Liz! Git up! Git up!" and the -greatly excited young Doc seizes her by the arm, and raises her to her feet, whereupon, loud as was the clamor of' rolces before, it is nothing to the mighty putter of yells that rise like the whirring wings of a vast covey of birds piercing and rending the very air above them. .When this has gone down there are cries of "Huntley! Huntley! nuntley!" that grow in volume and importunity, till they art no longer to be resisted. Then Coonrod Redden steps to the carriage, throws back the top, and taking Mr. Mason by the hand, raises him up. "Feller farmbers!" shouts the mightyroiced Coonrod Redden, "h-yur's the man at's saved your Ian' fur your famblies! This is Mr. W. Mason Huntley. You've eed him before, un knoweC 'im, nn talked to 'im, un h-yurn him talw, un " But the very climax of prolonged and ound-exhausting cheering drowns every attempt to say an audible word. Mr. Mason Huntley stands with his hat off, and smiling. The roar of cheering dud yelling rises and swell, and sinks and tses but does not cease. Suddenly it gets a great impetus, as the carriage with Coonrod Redden and Mr. W. Mason Huntley standing on the back seat, is raised straight up into the air, and with cores of these big, long-limbed, brawny, excitable, enthusiastic, hero-worshiping Hoosiers, under it and holding it high above their heads, is chmged into a triumphal car, that, leaving the trembling torses securely tied to the fence, proceeds all around the square, nad up and down very road that leads Into Sandtown, and finally down the Overcoat road to Coonrod Redden'g, followed, flinked and preceded by a great broad tide of men, boys axd women, horses, wagens and dogs, and all conspiring and combining to make, the most deafening vocal clamor that ver shook the wild-hemp and jimson leaves along the unfenced sides of the Overcoat road. "WelL by gum! ef that haint one way ah hossun up a feller," said the young Doc, drawing a long breath "Come awn, Lizzy! I'll teck yuh nome, I reckon. Then I'll light out fur Cocrrod's. They'll be some big speakun un han ahakan down thar, tharreckly! They'll wawnt you thar, too! One million th'ee hunnerd un eighty-four thousan' dollars fur the Wickly Woods! By gum! you're the richest yoong womern in Indyanny. At's a shore thng!" CHAPTER XX. Another night, in which Lizzy Wickly la in a tumult, a brain-whirl of excitement that shuts out of her mind any of &H the thoughts and feelings of her ordinary everyday life. That wealth is not even the least of the elements of happiness she demonstrated effectually in her own self-contemplation. The first flash of excitement bad been that feeling, perhaps, which in the gambler makes him tremble with unutterable eagerness over a heavy stake, which, when he has won, is of no further value in his eyes than is given it by its power to reproduce that same state of expectation. This she recognized as that Inherent love of peril, that disposition to brave dangers, that in some degree and la some form exists in every human organization. The feeling of gratification bad been as transient as the flitting mo ment in which the event had been in abeyance. She had at once settled back Into the groove of her ordinary thought. For now she fully recognized the fact that it never had been Huntley, the in lble professor of geology; Huntley, the man of straw; Huntley, the principal and employer, that she had loved. She did not doubt now that had a real Huntley appeared such a real Huntley as Mr. Mason Huntley had imposed upon her che would have decided between them at once, upon their simultaneous presenta tion before her. And that decision, she now knew, would, at any moment of all tie time in which she had known the genuine Huntley, hare been against any ether man in all the world. Early in the evening she had dressed herself in one of those prettiest of all nrarttv ummer dresses a whir Kwia mislin with an unlimited number of rclfles and tucks in the skirt, and with little knots of blue ribbon here and there, end a bunch of the purplish, sweet-smelling wild flowers pinned upon hr Lapely left shoulder. She had goie backward and forward before the little mirror, in Che middle of the room, wiln her face turned first over this shoulder and then or er that, to soe if the skirts hung- exactly right, and to see how weil she really looked in the glass, as even the best end most sensible girls in the world will Co, la spite of all the jeering and sarcastic remarks about them for their vanity end elf-lore. She had taken out of its Ttlvet receptacle a strand of little yearl and gold beads, that looked very becomLax against the linen collar here, and ever the looped knot of narrow blue ribbon there, at opposite sides of her shapely throat, whose winter-whiteness had taken on a. little of that rich, wann tint that our inttmaontane valley climate so plentifully bestows upon all sojourners, end which In unhealthy people we call callow," while in the more robust it goes by the unobjectionable title of "ruddy." Then, with her new, bright "patent leather" slippers, showing a very little band of white stocking about her shapely ankles, when she sat down and crossed the very neat little left foot over the light, she was as pretty a picture as ever a little mirror exhibited in any little plain middle-room in all Christendom th white pond lily of Reelfoot Prairie, ts could be proved by every admiring Hoofier from the .mouth of Big Rattlecnake Creek on the north, to the very rch-Ungled limit of Reelfoot Pond on tooth.

JJUJUUJJ TAYL0.1 room to room, with her stiff-starched underskirts rustling like the fluttering wings of the wild pigeons now feeding their young up in the dark thickets of nickly's Woods. She sang little bits of song in the sweetest voice that ever led a class of young Hoosier hoodlums in a public school. She picked up her guitar off the haircloth sofa, and slipping its sling ribbon over her left shoulder, went about- the rooms playing pretty and mellow old rondeaux in a way that she had never played them before. She made short little flights out to the front gate of the narrow little hollrhockod and morning-gloryed yard, and back again. She stopped at least twenty times in her delightful little flutterings here and there about the house to kiss her mother on the cheek, or to pat her on the shoulder reassuringly and lovingly, out of the very enthusiasm of her mood. In fact, she did hundreds and hundreds of foolish little things that she was perfectly aware a mature young woman school teacher shouldn't permit herself to do. But she couldn't help it. And, what s more, she didn't try. In any one of the little, rustling, whitedove flights to the front gate she could hear the sounds of shouting, clapping hands and multitudinous laughter of a delighted audience. And she could almost see and hear Mr. Huntley in the merry humor of his new character that he had shown of late, exchanging humorous repartee with his audience as is now, and always has been, the custom and the delight of the Hoosier audience and the Hoosier orator. Perhaps, after supper was over, she would walk with her mother down to Coonrod Redden's. She would be heartily welcome. She needed no invitation. For such is the broad and simple hospitality of the native Hoosier people to-day, that to "be acquainted" constitutes a perpetual and unlimited in vitation to come when you please and be sure of a hearty welcome. But after the supper was over Lizzy could not fully make up her mind to start. He had not been long enough in lloosierdom to thoroughly understand that informal freedom of manner which sanctioned the unpremeditated gathering of neighbors at each other's houses at any and all seasonable times. True, she remembered that he had very readily conformed himself to the prevail ing customs in Sandtown society. But he had always exhibited much more of reserve, even to the point of diffidence, than was quite agreeable. "A leetle mite backurd. A leetle mite backurd," Coonrod Redden had said of him at first. "But I don't thenk the feller means any harm by ut. He haint yusen to ar ways yit. He's been raised whar people haint gut nuthun to do but .git acquainted. Un they kin teck as much time to ut as they wawnt to. Un they ginurlly teck a plenty, I low. We haint gut time fur no pich foolishness as that out h-yur en Indyanny. Feller comes h-yur we wawnt to know right away whurrer he's fittun fur a neighbor ur nut. Ef he haint, we wawnt to hoss 'im up, ur git 'im out, jist quick's we kin, by gum!" She knew that Mr. W. Mason nuntley had ostensibly subscribed to this doctrine which Coonrod Redden had not failed to enunciate on all fitting occasions. But had that subscribing been more than a piece of amiability on his part?' She had thought that in the case of a man having only the humble and subordinate place of "assistant," it was not at all to be expected that he would not readily fall Into the ways of the Sandtown people as easily as he had fallen into the sandy windings of the Overcoat road. So she hesitated about starting, in the secret hope that he would make that unnecessary by coming to her "soon," as he had said. But if he did not come within an hour, she would go. She felt that she must see him. She could not content herself with the thought of remaining away until after twilight. She would go down in the twilight at the very furthest. So when the young Doc Dikes came over presently, to get Mrs. Wickly to come and stay half an hour with his aunt and her sick little boy, she felt that it would be a way of occupying the interval of time. And so she went along, taking care to look back once in every twenty yards to see if he were coming. Then there were presently so many of the Sandtown women dropping in at Mrs. Dikes' to see how little Jimmy was, and to ask Lfcay Wickly about her great fortune and take note of how she looked and talked, and whether she had begun to be stuck up, and proud and exclusive, as rich people very foolishly do. And perhaps with the thought of making it very prominent that she had not begun to be a bit stuck up, and perhaps be cause she still felt the very unusual ex hilaration of her naturally buoyant spirits strong upon her, Lizzy did her best to convince her ' neighbors, the former Arguses of Sandtown, that she was sufficiently sensible and well-groomed in the simple democratic doctrines and prac"ces of Sandtown not to be made giddy, even when suddenly elevated to the great height of an inconceivable fortune like the one which W ickly s Woods had brought her. CHAPTER XXI. It was quite dark when Lizzy finally reached home, after vetting up to start half a dozen times, and. being stopped ae often by a fresh incursion of, congratu lating Arguses. There was a light in the middle room that they certainly had not Ut before starting upon their enforced visit to the sick. Some one familiar with the house was there. And who so familiar as the man she had been waiting and watching for, all this evening? Instinctively she drew back a little, and permitted her mother to precede her. so that she would have time to hide her real feeling, so far as not to appear ridiculously sentimental in the presence of others. When they should be alone sho could pour out the wealth of her heart to him. She. was rich nowl And no selfish motive could be imputed to her in so suddenly making up her mind that, in spite of what she had said to him on that stormy night in the edge of the wctd3, near the Overcoat road, she now knew that she loved no imaginary man, no image of straw, but the veritable Mason Huntley, and she was ready, willing and even anxious to make this confession. It was a confession due to him. It was a confession without which she must remain an enigma to him. It was one .she would make that very evening, end just so soon as they were fairly alone together.

o his heart in the center of that dread

ful cyclone, and the dangers and destruc tion that encompassed them. She thoughi of that too brief and vivid tingling parting near the clump of shadowy, long, arching black raspberry vines. She could epay him, clasp for clasp, kiss for kiss! She would not remain his debtor in any token of love. And her red lips parted and her brown eyes sparkled in the gleam of the lamp as she put her dainty slippered foot lightly across the threshold, thinking only of him and for him. She was certain that she saw him sit ting there, beyond the little stand-table on which tha lamp was blazing. So occupied was she with the certainty of meeting him that not until Congressman Jilly Biler arose to meet her and she heard a cry of surprise and delight from her mother's lips could she see that Billy Biler was standing there smiling very pleasantly, while beyond him were hex mother and her father locked in each other's arms. . There's nuthun like good luck. Miss Wickly, to bring people out of sickness, and fetch urn round ginerally. H-yur'a yur father, now as soon as he gut to hear that you were a millionaire he found himself completely cured, and started home at once, lie knew it before you did, too. He's sharpened up a bit by his short stay at the hospital, you see. But while they're talkun to thurselves, Miss Lizzy, I want to try to persuade you to intercede for me with Ole Coon Redden. The ole man's terribly out with me, 'boul this railroad sale business. I'm not to blame, I took a fee from the San'town un Northwestern folks, uv course. 1 didn't do it as a Congressman, nur as a citizen of San'town. I done ut as a law ycr. Uv course, they's lots a things that, as a lawyer, you can do that you wouldn't wawnt to do as a Congressman, nur as a citizen, nur as the friend uv th adverse party. Now, h-yur, fur instance, Coonrod Redden, he telegraphs fur m to come home un see that all these h-yui San'town supporters uv mine has thuj rights in this mortgage business. Well I had already taken a fee from the S. A X. W. folks, as I said. But I done that as a lawyer, yunnerstand. Un I tol Redden I'd see that the railroad didn't steal nuthun from any uv yuh. Un they didn't. Did they? But he's on his high hoss. Un he says I shant have the delegation from this county. Un I've gut tc have ut." (To be continued.) Anecdotes call forth anecdotes. A little story told herein not long; ago, about a country postofiice official's in terest In his clients' correspondence, moved n woman who is the mother ot a daughter at college to relate her experience with a village postman. It was the daughter's freshman year, and she rrote home daily and graphically of I.er new experiences. But she was extremely busy, and could spare time for a home letter only on Sunday. This she supple mented by a regular mid-week postal card. One day the mother, seeing the post man coming, ran down to meet him, and stood leaning on the gate as he approached. He saw her there, but Instead of hastening his pace he slack ened it a little, obviously to afford himself time to complete the reading of the missive he had in hand, chuck ling as he came. The sight stirred Mrs. Brown's anger. That he should presume to' read what Tolly wrote! That he 6hould do It before her very eyes, and before she could, and make her wait his leisure! It was outrageous, and she had a sharp rebuke all ready for him. But It was never delivered. He broke into a beaming smile as he reached the gate, handed over the postal card, and declared in hearty tones before she had a chance to speak: "That's the funniest postal I ever read! I never thought there was much sense In girls going to college kind o' wasting four years of life, I been used to calling it but I don't know! I don't know! Maybe It ain't sensible for ord'nary girls, but a girl that can double a man up laughing with half a dozen words ain't ord'u ary. No, ma'am. I guess yon was right to give her extry opportunities You've got a gifted daughter. Mis Brown a gifted daughter, and I con gratulate you,, ma'am!" He departed, still broadly beaming; and Mrs. Brown had not the heart to chill such appreciative friendliness. She merely warned the "gifted daugh ter that her humor was likely to be Kenjoyed by more that the family cir cle. Youth's Companion. ! ! !

On arriving there after some vicissitudes he was mot by a forlornlooking man who was evidently in charge of affairs. "Are there relatives left whom I should mention," the minister asked, "and is there any special point o which I should speak?" "No, there weren't any real points about Abner Saunders," said the man, riowly. "I guess I'm an unprejudiced Judge, and I should bay there weren't. As for relatives, there's no one left but an aged brother. I guess you'd better mention him; 'twould kind of please him. You might say that he's always done his best, and that 'twas a great privilege for the deceased to have him near by at the last" "Certainly I will do so," said Tarson Whltaker, cordially "I suppose from what you say the aged brother has had more or less trouble In the Past" "lie's had his trials," said the man, briefly.

-: How to Dres Neatlx. All women like to be neatly dressed and at the same time be known as doing this economically. There is a way of being both economical and neat, and that is to take care of the ittle things as well as the bitg ones in one's toilet Besides seeing that skirts and bodices are kept well brushed and clean, care should be taken of tha stocks, belts, gloves, veils and shoes. In the matter of taking off gloves there is a right and wrong way. The right way is to turn the wrists back over the hand and pull them off wrong side out. If they, are in the least dampened by moisture from the haud, leave thenS a few moments to dry out, then turn them right side out and scan carefully for the faintest giving way of a thread. A stitch in time saves a whole finger often in the case of gloves. The stitch should be taken with fine glove thread the exact shade of the gloves, using a fine needle and sewing on the right si Je. Then, after dusting them lightly "vith powder, if still at all damp, lay them neatly in a glove box, keeping light pairs folded in tissue paper. Neckties and belts should be smooth ly rolled on wooden sticks and hand kerchiefs neatly marked and kept in sorted piles that the finest ones need not be taken when not desired. Bod ices should be thoroughly aired after wearing, shields constantly renewed and l.?Nlered. Linings of bodices that are not washable should be frequently sponged with a bit of silk or linen dipped in ammonia water. Never put away any evening bodice with soiled lisse or tulle at throat, corsage or arms. Carefully rip it off at once, as its soil may easily spread. Farasols to be put In winter shape should be left half open, the pockets thus made filled lightly with crushed tissue paper, the whole then slipped into aD ample bag, with drawing strings shirred close around the handle, the bag hung from a hook screwed in the bottom of a closet shelf, to hang free from wall pressure. And so everything can be well taken care of by the neat girl, and the gowns can easily be kept fresh and attractive during the season. Made of Polka Dot Mile The vogue of checks has by no means driven our friend the polka dot from the dress goods field. It is particularly effective in the new soft foulards, and this model shows a satin-finish foulard of cream ground with the dots of dime size In tobacco brown. The skirt has three eight-inch ruffles about the bottom and allover lace in a cream tint is curiously inset in design into these in such a way that the ruffles are connected. The sleeves are double puffs and reach nearly to the elbow, where they end in a deep lace cuff. The hat worn with this is of cream horse-hair braid, encircled by fluffy brown ostrich feathers. Care of Mirrors. If dusted daily and rubbed with a pad of tisuue paper, mirrors keep in beautiful condition. To cleanse them if neglected dip a cloth in methylated spirits and then in precipitated whiting, and rub this well over the glass, being careful, however, not to touch the frame with it or to let It get under the frame, as it is not easy to remove. When dry rub up well with a chamois leather or a pad of clean old soft newspaper. Fly marks may be removed by dusting them with powdered blue and then rubbing them up with an old silk handkerchief. The frames should be carefully dusted and wjped over with onion water, as this keeps off the flies. Children's Bedtime. If you have to look after your children yourself, don't let them sit up late, as a rule, on any terms. You need and ought to have some time 'o yourself for rest and recreation, and it will be bad for the children as well as for you if you don't get it The important thing Is to get your thoughts directed into fresh channels, or in time you will find it difficult to talk or think of anything except the house and the children. WI y Pretty Wives Become Plain. One reason why the average woman wears out and grows old and plain is that, through a mistaken idea of duty, she lays out for herself at the beginning of married life a scheme of duty ot which every hour is filled wit!i T7cri. Ttl3 she tylosis religiously ror years, fcclinj that she 3 dene her

duty. She, however, soon becomes

merely a machine. Can any woman keep brightness, originality of thought, or even good looks with such a life? And, without those things, how can she keep her husband and children full of loving admiration? Constant association of others of her own age, with her children and their friends, and an occasional period of recreation, is what the average woman requires to make her attractive. A Modest Matron. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, wife of the famous negro educator of Tuskegee, Ala., has been traveling in the North recently and has attracted considerable attention. She is a weli-educated colored woman and modest as any every-day American matron. Mrs. Washington is a lar features, magnetic eyes, beautiful teeth, and srood language with the Southern drawl. This colored woman of the South is a teacher, although she has several children. Five hundred nesrro girls who are thirsting for better things are under her care at Tuskegce. As a girl she was educated at Fisk College and then went to Tuskegee as an instruct ress. She fell in love with Booker T. Washington, married him, and .went on teaching. . Hccitli uud Beauty Hints. Lemon Juice will remove fruit and vegetable stäias from the hands. Do not bay .Immediately after eating or whei erheated from a walk. Rest tired, "overheated feet by a cool foot bath, then put on fresh hosiery and another pair of shoes. Remember that too much ice water iu hot weather Increases the flow of perspiration, besides being bad for the stomach. Take a daily bath In the summer. If a cold plunge is too severe, have the water hot and leave the cold water faucet running until the water in the tub becomes cooler. A bottle of good toilet water is an excellent addition to the dressing table; bathe the forehead, the back of the neck and the temples with the refreshing liquid when overheated or tired. When very warm let the cold water faucet run on the wrists for a few minutes at the pulse. This cools the heated blood passing here near the surface of the skin and so cools the whole body by circulation. A Noted Woman Translator. The Bureaouof American Republics employs, at a high salary, a charming young woman, Miss Marie MeXaughton, who does nothing but translate the American language into French. This, by the way, is a very different thing from translating French into English, being vastly more difficult Every month this international establishment, of which Uncle Sam is manager, publishes a magazine in three languages English, Spanish and French and Miss McXaughton does the French part of it. She Is a slender brunette, comes from Michigan, was educated in Paris and secured her position through competitive examination. Perfect Manners. Politeness is perhaps instinctive with some, but with the majority it is a matter of training of the slow and careful discipline of voice and eye and carriage. Under this training all tho angles of personal vanity and self-consciousness are rubbed off, the person becomes adorned with grace, ease, gentleness and' simplicity, and what may seem to the untrained observer as the perfection of naturalness may be simply the perfection of culture. The New Shoe. The woman who likes light footwear, yet for economical reasons doesn't care to patter around the streets in all-white shoes, looks with rejoicing upon the combination footwear of tan leather and white buckskin, whereof the upper is of white, and the vamp, sole and heel of tan. This gives a dainty, light effect, yet is not so susceptible to dirt in that part which comes nearest the pavement. 4 ;i a .

Ings to match make most beautiful dresses.

The black chip crushed iu, with knots of pink roses, is pretty. Trimmings lead off with quillings ot the srvme silks as the gowns. Chiffon taffeta and chiffon cloth gowns must be included in the sum mer list Exquisitely embroidered importej blouses attract one's attention at every side. Dull gold galoons of various widths are much used in combinations with a brilliant color. The pattern or robe gown, as they are called, help to make life easier by far this season. Under lingerie hats the hair will be seen to be garnished with pert butterfly bows of crisp silk. Of the making of collars, chemisettes and cuffs, as well as undersleeves, there is indeed no end. Using different linings makes a lot of variety in embroidered dresses, for the effect is quite different with each color. By that silent agreement which is fashion's Marconi system, every welldressed woman, it seems, has ordered cne or more black costumes. Beads and girdle and shoes and stockings that match make a pretty little color note that is a trick of midsummer dressing among certain groups of young girls. A very pretty innovation is a slightly draped effect across the top of the front breadth just over the abdomen. This fullness sometimes continues into the girdle with good effect. Girdles are high, pointed back and front, and very tightly draped and almost invariably of the same color and material as the gown. Leather belts are crushed, dip in front and fasten behind with a large gilt buckle. Klaborate Out-Door Costnme. A mantle of tussore silk and Persian embroidery; chiffon ruffles in sleeves; poppies on straw hat. Value of Snnshinc. It is quite impossible for a thoroughly healthy person to have too much daylight. One might as well say it is possible to have too much fresh air. Daylight does not Mean the direct glare of the sun. And a healthy per son is not one whose eyes demand darkness. Whether the house furnishing is rich or mean does not matter in the least. There are mansions in which one feels gloomy, despite the evidences of wealth, and there are cottage homes that make one sing from lightness of heart. Let the light Into the rooms. See that stairways and passages are bright as the garden outside. Shun the "dim religious light" as you would the plague.' It has much dimness and precious little religion about it. Beauty and Attraction. Attraction and beauty are two very different things. Who has not seen the merely pretty woman come off a very poor second best to the plain, fascin ating one.

" It ies danererous to burn quantities of old papers in a firegrate without some protection, but if the following method be followed, there is no danger at all.
