FRANCIS fH. Copyrlcht, 1906. n CHAPTER XI. There was no one at the station to meet the disgraced one, news of the disaster at Beersheba being as yet only on the way. Thomas Jefferson was rather glad of it; especially glad that there was no one from Woodlawn this was the name of the new home to recognize him and ask discomforting questions. But Ardea was expected, and the Dabney carriage, with old Bciplo on the box, was drawn up belida the platform. Tom put Ardea into the carriage and was giving her hand luggage to Scipio when she called to him. "Isn't there any one here to meet you, Tom?" "They don't know I'm coming." he fxplained. Whereupon she quickly made room for him. holding the door open. Hut he hung back. "I reckon I'd better ride on the box with Unc bciplo," he suggested. "I am sure I don't know why you should," she objected. He told her straight: or at least gavj ter his own view of it. "By to-morrow morning everybody in Gordonia and Paradise Valley will know that I'm home In disgrace. It won't hurt Unc Scipio any If I'm seen riding with him." It was the first time that he had been given to see the Dabney lmperiousness shining star-like in Miss Arflea's slate-blue eyes. "I wish you to get your hang-bag and ride in here with me," she said, with the air of one whose wish was law. But when he was sitting opposite and the carriage door was shut, she imlled companionably across at him and added: "You foolish boy!" When he reached the house there was an ominous air of quiet about It, and a horse and buggy, with a black boy holding the reins, stood before the Coor. Tom's heart came into his mouth. The turnout was Doctor Williams. "Who's sick?" he asked of the boy who was holding the doctor's horse, and his tongue was thick with a nameless fear. The black boy did not know: and Tom crept up the steps and let himself In as one enters a house of mourning, breaking down completely when he taw his father sitting bowed on the hall seat. "You. Buddy? I'm mighty glad." said the man; and when he held out his arms the boy flung himself on his knees beside the seat and buried his face in the cushions. "Is she is she roing to die?" he asked, when the dreadful words could be found and spoken. "We're hoping for the best. Buddy, son. It's some sort of a stroke, the doctor says; it took her yesterday morning, and she hasn't been herself lince. Did somebody telegraph to you? Tom rocked his head on the cushion. How could he add to the blackness of darkness by telling his miserable story of disgrace? Yet it had to be done, and surely no- hapless penitent In the confessional ever emptied his soul with more heartfelt contrition r more bitter remorse. Caleb Gordon listened, with what 'nrard condemnings one could only guess from his silence. It was terrible! If his father would strike him, curse him, drive him out of the house, it would be easier to bear than the stifling silence. But when the words came finally they were as balm poured Into an angry wound. "There, there. Buddy; don't take on o. You're might' nigh a man, ' now, and the sun's still rism' and settln Just the same as it did before you tripped up and fell down. And It'll go on rism and settln', too, long after you and me ami all of us have quit goin' to bed and gettin up by it If it wasn't for your poer mammy " "That's It that's just it," groaned Tom. "It would kill her, even if she was well." "Nev mind; you're here now, and I reckon that's the main thing. If she gets up again, of course she'll have to know; but we won't cross that bridge till we come to it And Buddy, son, whatever happens, your old pappy ain't goin' to believe that you'll be the ßrst Gordon to die in the gutter. You've got better blood in you than what that calls for." Tom felt the lightening of his burden to r.ome extent; but beyond was the alternative of suffering, or causing suffering. He had never realized until now how much he loved his mother; how large a place she had filled In his life, and what a vast void there would be when she was gone. He was yet too young and too self-centered to know that this is the mother-cross: to live for love and to be crowned and enthroned oftenest In memory. The fifth day after his home-coming was Christmas Eve Late In the afternoon, when the doctor had made his second visit and had gone away, leaving no word of encouragement for the watchers, Tom left the house and took the path that led up through the young orchard- to the foot of Lebanon. He was deep within the winter-stripped forest on the mountain side, plunging upward through the beds of dry leaves In the little hollows, when ha met Ardea. She was coming down with her arms full of holly, and for th moment he forgot his troubles In the keen pleasure of looking at her. None the less, his greeting nas a brotherly reproof. "I'd like to know what you're thinking of. tramping around on the mountain alone." he said, frowning at her. "I have been thinking of you. Host of the time, and wishing you could be with me," she answered, so artlessly as to mollify him Instantly. "Is your mother any better this afternoon?" "She Is Just the same; lying there so still that you have to look close to seo whether she is breathing. The doctor says that if there isn't a change pretty soon, she'll die." "O Tom:" He looked up at her with the old boyish frown pulling his eyebrows together. "She's been good to God all her life; what do you reckon lie's letting her die this way for?" It was a terrible question, made more terrible by the savage hardihood that lay behind it. Ardea could not reason with him; and she felt Intuitively that at this crisis only reason would appeal to him. Yet she could not turn him away empty-handed in hl3 hour ' of need. "How can we tell?" she said, ami there were tears in her voice. "Wo only Know that lie does everything for tho best." ' "I wish you'd ask I Ilm to let my mother live I" he said, brokenly. "I've tri-d and tried, and the words Just die In my mouth." There Is a Mother of Sorrows In every womanly heart, to whom the appeal of the stricken 13 never mads in vain. Arda saw only a boy-brother crying out in his pain, and she dropped on her knees and put her arms around his neck and wept over him in a pure transport of sisterly sympathy.

LYNDE by Francis Lynd J2j h "Indeed and Indeed I will help, Tom! And you mustn't let it drive you out into the dark. You poor boy! I know just how it hurts, and I'm so sorry for you!" He freed himself gently from the comforting arms, got up rather unsteadily, and lifted her to her feet. Then the manly bigness of him sent the hot blood to her cheeks and she was ashamed. "O Tom!" she faltered; "what must you think of me!" "I think God made you and that was one time when His hand didn't tremble," he said, gravely. They had picked their way down the leaf-sllppery mountain side and he was giving her the bunch of holly at the Dabney orchard gate before he spoke again. But at the moment of leave-taking he said: "How did you know what I needed more than anything else in all tha world, Ardea?" She blushed painfully and the blue eyes were downcast. "You must never speak of that again. I didn't stop to think. It's a Dabney failing. I'm afraid to do things first and consider then; afterward. It was as if we were little again, and you had fallen down and hurt -yourself." "I know," he acquiesced, with the same manly gentleness that had made her ashamed. "I won't speak of it any more and 111 never forget it the longest day I live. Good -by." And . he went the back way to his own orchard gate, plunging through the leaf beds with his head down and his hands in his pockets, struggling as he could to stem the swift current which was whirling him -out beyond all the old landmarks. For now he was made to know that boyhood was gone, and youth was going, and for one intoxicating moment he had looked over the mountain top into the Promised Land of manhood. CHAPTER XII. It was until late In the afternoon of Christmas Day that Ardra was able to slip away from her guests long enough to run over to apprise herself of the condition of things at the Gordon house. Tom opened the door for her. and he made her come to the fire before he would answer her questions. Even then he sat glowering at the cheerful blaze as if he had forgotten her presence; and she was womanly enough, or amiable enough, to let him take his own time. When he began, it was seemingly at a great distance from matters present and pressing. "Say, Ardea; do you believe In miracles?" he asked abruptly. "How do you account for them. Did God make His laws so that they could be taken apart and put together again when some little human ant loses its way on a grass stalk or drops its grain of sugar?" "I don't know," she confessed, frankly. "I am not sure that I ever tried to account for them; I suppose I have swallowed them whole, as you say I have swallowed my religion." "Well, you believe in them, anyway," he said, "and that makes it easier to hit what I'm aiming at. Do you reckon they stopped short In the Apostles' time?" "You are the queerest boy," she commented. "I ran over here Just for a minute to ask how your mother is, and you won't tell me." "I'm coming to that," he rejoined, gravely. "But I, wanted to get this other thing straightened out first. Now tell me this: did you pray for my mother last night, like you said you would?" "You can be so barbarously personal when you try, Tom." she protested. And then she added: "But I did." "Well, the miracle was brought. Early this morning mother came to herself and asked for something to eat Doctor Williams has been here, and now he tells us all the things he wouldn't tell us before. It was some little clot in one of the veins or arteries of the brain, and nine tlme,s out of ten there is no hope." ' "O Tom! and she will get well again?" "She has more chances to-day of getting well than she had last night of dying so the doctor says. But it's a miracle, Just the same." Tm so glad! And now I really must go home." "What's your rash? I'm not trying to get rid of you now." "I positively must go back. We have company, and I ran away without saying a word." "Anybody I know?" Inquired Tom. "Three somebodies whom you know, or ought to know, very well: Mr. Duxbury Farley, Mr. Vincent Farley, Miss Eva Farley." "I'd like to know how under the sun they managed to get on your grandfather's good side!" he grumbled. "Why do you say that?" she retorted. "Eva was my classmate for years at Miss De Valle's." He made a boyish face of disapproval,' saying bluntly: "I don't care If she was. You shouldn't make friends of them. They are not fit for you to wipe your shoes on." "You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Tom Gordon! Less than an hour ago, we were speaking of you, and ot what happened at Beersheba. Mr. Farley and his son both stood up for you." "And you took the other side, I reckon," he broke out, quite unreasonably. It had not as yet come to blows between him and his father's busines3 associates, but it made him Immeasurably dissatisfied to find them on social terms at Deer Trace Manor. "Perhaps I did, and perhaps I did not," she answered, matching his tartness. "Well, you can tell them both that I'm much obliged to them for nothing," he eaid, rising and going to the door with her. "They would be mighty glad to see It patched up again and me back in the Beersheba school." "Of course they would; so would all cf your friends." "But they are not my friends. Thev have fooled my father, and they'll fool your grandfather. If he doesn't watch out. But they can't fool mc." "That is the first downright coward ly thing I have ever known you to say!" she declared. "And I wish you to know, Mr. Thomas Jefferson Gordon, that Mr. Duxbury Farley and Mr. Vincent Farley and Miss Eva Farley are my guests and my friends!" And with that for her lo.ive-taking, sh turned -her back on him and went swiftly across the two lawns to the great gray houso on the opposite knoll. Tor the first fortnight of his mother's convalescence Tom slept badly, and his days were as the d:iy3 of the accused whoso sentence has been suspended. The time drew near when his continued stay at home must be explained to his mother. Ardea had gone back' to Carroll tn? Saturday before New Year's and thero was no ono to talk to. But for that matter, he had cut himself out of her confidence by hla assault on ho Farleys. Every morning for a week after the Christmas -cray clash. Scipio came over with the compliments of "Maw-

eteh Majah." Miss Euphrasia, and Miss Dabney, and kindly inquiries touching the progress of the invalid. But after New Year' Tom remarked that there were only the Major and Miss Euphrasia to send compliments, and despair ret In. For out of his boyhood he had brought up undiminished the longing for sympathy, or rather for a burdenbearer on whom he might unload his troubles, and Ardea had begun to promise well. (To be continued.)

ABOUND THE TICKER. Strange Characters Gather on the Outskirts of the Curb. "Half a dozen years of financial writing have brought me Into contact with many of the strange and interesting characters who may be found around the ticker," says a contributor to Moody's magazine. "Men who have been failures elsewhere trying for a stroke of good luck; graduate physicians, lawyers, former clergymen, an ex-motorman turning the wheel of fortune; several who have done time, race-track followers, a former chief who buys stocks with his left hand and small restaurants with his right, hotel waiters by the score sorrowfully watching the tips garnered in the dining' room vanishing in the bucket shops; card gamblers, club men, society lights, athletes fascinated by the game of chance have rubbed elbows some time or other In the different brokerage offices. "Two of the most picturesque characters of Wall street hung on the outskirts of the curb market a few years ago. One was formerly an expert telegrapher who had lost his mind after an illness. He was a thoroughly harmless fellow, giving to cracking two stones alongside his head, saying that he wanted to drown out the shouts of the noisy brokers. He seemed to have an idea what the brokers were doing and occasionally they would good-naturedly go through the form of trading with him. "The other character, was a tramp. The only thing missing in his equipment was the proverbial tin can. Bui notwithstanding his lowly station In life he was a sport Nickels and dimes were bestowed upon him by the brokers at various times and then this hobo would circle the crowd to find some one to match coins with him. "'See that man there,' the head of a large stock brokerage firm said to me the other day. The man was leaning against the ticker. The click, click of the wheel appeared to be music In his ears. Through his fingers the thin, white strip of printed quotations was sliding in the manner natural to all tape readers. "'Well, he's a paradox In Wall street, said the broker. 'He doesn't speculate. He Is a strict and sincere church member, strongly opposed td anything that smacks of gambling, yet there Is something In hli blood that has made him come to our office almost dally for ten years, rain or shine, and never has he used the 'buy or 'sell pad. He turned up one day with a friend well known to us and hardly before the introductions were over he had made himself at home. The first day he annexed the stool beside the ticker, read the prices to our board boy and seemed In every way familiar with the market. ' A week passed and to our surprise we had received no orders from him. We had an active market for several months, and the omission of orders was overlooked. In the meantime he really made himself valuable by giving unusually accurate market opinions, keeping a record of prices and statistics, so we felt that he was evening up matters. To this day he has. never told us to buy or 6ell anything for him, but were he to go away he would be sadly missed for his friendship, his pecullarltes and his singular ability to live in the atmosphere of a broker's office and never speculate."' Planet Problems. "The amount of Ignorance not yet removed concerning the planets Is very great," writes E. S. Grew. "We do not know, for example, whether the planet Venus rotates. If it does it may possibly have a life and a vegetation like our own, though we 6uspect that It is clothed In eternal cloud. Of Saturn's rings we cannot say whether they consist of millions of tiny moon3 like brickbats or whether they may be even smaller still a veil of shining dust. Of Jupiter we can only say that It is covered with clouds, though of their substance we know nothing, and, according to Professor Lowell and Sir William Huggins, some of the bands we see on it may be rifts in the clouds revealing the body of the planet Little lines crisscross these bands. Photographs of Jupiter taken at Flagstaff observatory seem to Indicate that these lines too, are the upper clouds of Jupiter. "But whenever we see a planet we see it bjdly. Even Mars, the most clearly revealed of them all, is constantly obscured by a refracting haze, so that even the famous 'canals,' though nearly C00 In number, only a few are perceptible at a tkne, and an unskilled observer would probably not make them out at all. Sand3torms, sometimes snowstorms, sweep the surface of the planet, and because the winds of Mars are very gentle and slow moving these occurrences take a long time to pass by." London Family Herald. l!nsllh Names for Towns. Many names of towns in England have been appropriated for a similar use in this country. These names frequently indicate in themselves the origin of the towns. For Instance, names ending in "ehester" or "cester" or "caster," such as Dorchester, Worcester and Lancaster, undoubtedly apply to sites of old military settlements or camps, and the termination is derived from "castra," the Latin word for camp. If the nama of a place ends In "coin," like Lincoln, then it, too. Is of Roman origin, because the Latin word for colony Is colonia. When the syllable "by" ends the word, like Rugby, re then know that the Danes are responsible for the name, for the Danish word for town Is by. Family Joys. "When you were court inp me," said his wife, "you declared there wasn't another woman in the world like me." "Yes," replied her husband, "and I'm glad of it for the sake of other men."

CUTTER FOR POULTRY FEED Device Consists of Lawn Mower, Set Up on Box or Table Clips as Fine as Desired. Having noticed several references o the need for a fine feed cutter for :hickens' green feed, I give suggestion f a simple home-made arrangement Jiat will cut clover and other like rreen feeds as fine as desired, says a vriter in Rural New Yorker. The arrangement consists of a lawn nower (any width of cut), set up on box or table with cutter bar in perpendicular position, the machine being held in position by stationary blocks (fastened to cleats), front and back of roller, also a block on floor with wedge for placing. Back of the cutter bar is the feed chute with side plates at delivery end about eight Inches apart and with adjustable strip set across for protection to the fingers as well as to guide the grass. The chute is .nailed to cleatH which in turn are fastened to box. Contact end Df chute sides are sawed out to radius of cutter. It is essential that floor of chute at delivery end be same height as cutting edge of bar. At the delivery side of cutter an incline takes Cutter for Green Poultry Feed. the feed and delivers- It into box or basket on floor, or through floor or partition to fowls if desired. Power is applied through large wheel with stem and loose hand grip, as in sharpening knives of mower. With a substantial box arranged as above, the mower may be set Into blocks, the floor wedge set up, handle Introduced in driving wheel and the appliance is ready for business. In a plant where cut feed would be largely required, it would be well to set up a 12 or 14 to drive wheel an 18 to 24 inch balance wheel of 20 to 25 pounds' weight, and clamping this to drive wheel with two U bolts about the corresponding spokes. The driving wheel shaft should be nearly tho same height from floor as elbow of operator. Before clamping the i-alance wheel tightly it should be revilved in place and trued by outside cf rim to insure smooth running. The above will clip clover as fine as sawdust, or as much coarser as desired. ( SIMPLE HOME-MADE BROODER Inexpensive and Suitable Device for Caring for Young Chicks How to Put It Together. As everybody knows where an Incubator Is used for raising chickens a brooder Is a necessity. An inexpensive contrivance can be made by following the directions given below: Nail heavy slats across the top of a medium sized box and tack flannel , in loose folds on the under side On top of the slats place a warm soapstone. FOLDy Home-Made Brooder. i i which will retain the heat longer than anything else and will provide an even temperature. Make a removable cover for brooder, and a curtained door in one side. Fighting Vermin. The warfare against lice and mites In the poultry house is best begun in the spring or early summer. If, during the first few warm, sunshiny days of spring, the houses are given a thorough sweeping and cleaning and some disinfectant like good coal tar preparation 1? used, they will remain sweet and sanitary for a month or more If the droppings under the perches are frequently and regularly removed and plenty of fresh air can circulate through the house. Hand-Raised Chicks. In raising the chicks by hand you will have no trouble with lice, nor losses from old hens fighting and stepping on the chicks. Should the weather turn unexpectedly cold ani you feel a little worried at night, or even through the day, set a jug of hot water In the center of each small coop. Bo sure to place the jug (if you don't happen to have a jug handy a tin sirup pail Is nearly as good), in tho center of the coop, so there will be space all around it; otherwise they may trample each other in trying to get the best place. Non-Fertile Eggs. One reason of the non-fertility of eggs is lack of meat rations. This ex plains why the very first sittings of tRgs batch so poorly, while later, when insects are plenty, tho hatches are good. If you can not give the hens fresh meat or fresh ground bone, buy some dried beef scraps or beef m.'al. if you have plenty of skim milk or buttermilk to give to your fowls, it will tcke the place of the meat i n Hon to a very great extent. A Poultry Point. "Always ask for tho right leg of chicken or turkey," said a chef. "If tho left leg Is offered you, refuse it. It will be tough and stringy. "ou see, these birds nearly always roost on one leg, the left. Hence, that leg becomes very muscular. The sinews are like steel. It i.5 an excellent leg from tho athletic, but a vilo ono from the culinary point of view. "But the favored right leg remains tender and juicy. Therefore, as the advertisements say, ask for and insist pn getting the right leg '

FEEDING THE YOUNG CHICKf

What a New Jersey Poultry Raise Gives to Little Ones Pure Clear Water Necessary. The first feed I give is commor white bread (whole wheat brea( would be as good, possibly better) moistened with sweet milk so as to be softened, but not pasty, writes F. II Valentine of New Jersey in Garden .Magazine. Less meat is needed when milk is fed regularly. As the chicks grow I give at least one feed a day consisting of a mixture of bread soaked in milk, ground oats (with the hulls sifted out) and corn meal, with a little bran or middlings to make it crumbly. The milk must Best Kind of Brooder. be sweet, or else at the thick stage, but I use nothing but sweet milk for small chicks, unless it is scalded and made into curds, when it Is excellent for both hens and chicks. The greatest care must be taken to have all the feed for the young chicks sweet; under no circumstances should anything moldy, musty or sour be given them For the other feeds, some of the best of the prepared chick feeds now sold by all poultry supply houses are excellent Do not buy cheap ones they are worth little and are often positively harmful but those made by reputable firms are of good materials and give the variety needed In the right proportions. If the chicks are confined, green stuff must be supplied in the form of chopped cabbage, lettuce, or similar vegetables. This must be fed dally. Fine grit Is also necessary. A dish of bran and charcoal is helpful, placed so that the chicks can help themselves at will. Plnhead oatmeal, oat flakes, etc., are good for variety. Later on, cracked corn and wheat are good. Beef scrap can be fed with success after ten days, unless the chick feed contains meat in some form. Pure clean water is a necessity. Roosters fight when hens are laying. Seldom otherwise. In making up an egg ration, do not forget a liberal allowance of sunshine. A cold draft will stop hens laying as quickly as anything in the world sure. Cleanliness in feeding will guard against diseases to which poultry are liable. We' don't sell all our eggs. Don't you think they are as good for us to eat as for other folks? A dull, sunken eye in a fowl denotes defective nutritive power and lack of constitution and vigor. The baby ducks are just as well off, In fact better, without water to swim In until they have grown their crop of feathers. Keep your hens from -straying over on the land of your neighbor. Be particular about this if he has any crop growing there. Bits from meat carried out with brine from the barrel and left on the ground will give hens serious bowel trouble. Don't risk it. If your chicks are ever troubled with gapes, look after the earth worms. They are the common carriers of the worms and eggs. How to Feed. Scratching is of more importance than feeding, and it is not necessary to feed them more than twice a day, as the noon meal usually satisfies the fowls that they will not be inclined to scratch and the exercise. The. hen that has to hustle for part of her living will be laying eggs while the overfed hen is serenely digesting her food and quietly waiting for her owner to brlifg more. By giving the hens just as much food as they will relish in the morning and scattering some small grain In the litter, they will start scratching and will keep It up until their crops are filled. At night they can be given all they can cat of acceptable foods, varying as frequently as circumstances will allow. With the variety of food obtainable In the summer time, even for confined fowls, there Is little excuse for having overfed birds. Chicken Lice Experiments. Chicken lice will live off of the fowl's body for a considerable length of time, and specimens 'of the wandering lice have been kept alivo in boxes ty experimenters for a period of nine or ten months by simply giving them a supply of fresh feathers at regular Intervals. On the clothing of poultry pickers the lice will sometimes live for several days. It is not believed by ehtnölogists that bird lice commonly attack cattle or horses, as they have often been credited with doing. In nearly every case the lice found on animals, said to be so affected, were mammalian lice and not bird lice. Apply Whitewash Now. A coat of lime inside the poultry house is an improvement in many ways. It makes the room lighter; It preserves the woodwork; it fills up the crevices and prevents them from becoming breeding places of insects. Lime wash is also a good killer of stray germs of disease. A little carbolic acid mixed with tho whitewash is a help. Use a spray pump and force the material into the crevices. No brush will be needed. The Lice Problem. Lamp oil on the perches one? a month settles the lice problem there Lookout for Shells. .. Because hens are out cn the land now do not therefore think they do not need shells and such things. They may not be able to find a bit of that kind of food In all their travels. A shortage here is apt to mean a shortage in eggs with good shells on them. ' Windows are good to make tho hen house light. But they sre sehiom made tight enough to exclude droits or cold air. If close to roosts, jou run risk.

It is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a druggist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cuticura Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days treatment with Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderful and the result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cuticura Remedies for fifteen years. Thomas Hugh, 1650 West Huron St, Chicago, 111.. June 29. 1909." The Deacon's Parable. A self-conscious and egotistical young clergyman was supplying the pulpit of a country church.

I remember Tunk Weatherbee's fust deer hunt, when he was green. He follered the deer's tracks all right, but he follered 'em all day in the wrong direction." Housekeeper. The Home of the Cod. There is just c'ne other great cod bank In the world besides those off Newfoundland. It lies off Cape Agulhas, -hlch is the southern tip of Africa, and south of the Cape of Good Hope. The Agulhas plateau Is said to be almost a duplicate in size and richness of the north cod banks. But this is too far off, so there is little promise of its appeasing the hungry appetite of the world for cod. ' DR. M ARTEL'S FEMALE PILLS. Seventeen Years th? Standard.

An Easy Fit. A number of years ago there lived In northern New Hampshire a notorK ous woman-hater. It was before the: day of ready-made clothing, and wanting a new suit, he was obliged to take' the material to the village tailoress.' She took his measurements, ar d whenj she cut the coat, made a liberal al-' lowance on each seam. The man's dislike of women in general prevented his having a fitting.He took the finished garment without trying it on. It was much too large, and his disgust was apparent in the! answer he made to the friendly loafer on his Ürst visit to the post office,' when 'he wore the despised article. "Got a new coat, Obed?" said tho loafer. "No, I hain't!" said Obed. "I've got seven yards of cloth wrapped round me." Youth's Companion.

"I noticed. said the friend-who-could-be-trusted, after a trip through the factory where preserves arernade, "that a white powder Is first put in the cans, and that the preserves ar then put in the white powder."
