Competent miners need- not be watched < by shot lighter though some might be too greedy and put t >o strong a shot in to get more coal, Would not trust a body of men in that respeet. James McGregor, mining inspector, was opinion that fire originated in Smith's stall and that a feeder had been liberated, possibly by a shot, as so much gas had been drawn up just after explosion when there had been little before, and little now. Mr. Sheppard,. mining engineer,, gave evidence of a technical nature principally, being very exact and accurate in his statements. Described and indicated on plan where all bodies were found. Was of opinion that -. fiie. originated in Smith's; John Kesley, fire-boss gave technical evidence as to shotrlighters' and fire bosses' duties.

Harvey said that none of his shots had ever been inspected and that Johnston had never visited him in his stall, Against this Mr. Johnston refreshed witnesses memory with regard to certain incidents which had transpired in presence of both in the mine. Some other witnesses testified similarly, some saying that ihe mine was very gassy, others that it was little different from other mines on the' island.

O COl'lTUGJ'T, 1900, _y C. B. LEWIS, o v,07oTovoToVoo*v"o'?ovoTo,7o,?b r ' i Without doubt the most singular duel that over took place in the United States'occurred at Sante Fe, N. M.. 35 years ago. It Was several years previous to the first Pacific railroad and while yet every .pound of goods going to the far west had to be hauled across the great plains by freight wagon or sent-around Cape Horn by sea. Two men in a Rogers & Blair oullit fell in love with the same girl in Santa Fe. ,Ono was an American named Jack Ilines, and the other, was a full blooded Mexican wbo was simply' known as Don. The girl was a half breed, and none of us outside the two rivals thought her worth lighting over. I do not think she really, cared cl'or either man, but her game was eo-' quette-and keep them on the ragged edge, and make the most she could out of it. She,received many valuable presents from the rivals, and I know that Ilines lent her father money' which v'as neveivreturned. For a time the rivalry ,was a subject for joking among us,- but when we, saw that either man was ready to fly at the other's throat on the smallest provocation the case became serious. They were not'only good men for th'4 outfit, each earning the highest wages paid, but tboy were game men. and if they came to**;eth<>r nothing was surer than that one'would be killed. Tho affair had gone on for seven or eight months before the-outbreak came. We , were in Santa Fe. making ready for a start east, when the Mexican one vif-Tim. bi*t even his 'best friends said ti>nt he had bene** die with a knife in 'tis band than ro live in a help!*---"* wrare ���������lie rest of his life. ������ '.'"*��������� three or.'n.r of us Jack confided his, belief that be would triumph. His hearing tiad ho- '���������oinf as acute , as a fox's. ��������� and be would male-- his ears see tor him.' El������ ���������vas in perfect health, had tbe o������rve ���������l nil con rag-* of a lion, nnd he.helioved in- had a r-ha ii'-e. \ V������ high noon of an August day over I.!,'1" i p'-opl". many ot whom w'<*re ������������������'ii'iM-n. .���������j^-<,ml'l-'-l on tlie <*rnooth turf .._ 'Viincv*- ilH- sM-anv'i' com bar. .A ring >r roue-4 ws. formed and the spectators formed another. It was to be a due) with knives, and seconds and a referee were appointed. After each five minutes there Vas to be arrest. Foivpiost among the spectators was the girl who, had caused it all., and she was free to say she didn't care who triumphed. Each man was allowed to wrap his loft arm in a serapo or'cloak and all cheering or advising was forbidden. Tho blind man ivas pale faced and nervous as the .light began, but his hard shut teeth told of the de- tenninaLion in his heart. The Mexi-. ,ca'u was all bows and smiles and confidence, and as ho was known to be an adept with the, knife a groan, went about the circle as the two s epped, for-' ward to open the light. That duel was something to be remembered for all time. From the blind' man's movements no one could havo told that he was sightless. "For four five-minute rounds they fought, trifling scratches on North). Some of his lectures were , poor and dry enough, but in others'hp was eloquent and poetical in a high degree. He .seemed to speak witb his whole body, ns well as with his whole soul. His eye. "in a 'fine fren*;v rolling." burned like p ball of fire, and tbe students sat spellbound under the power'" of their great teacher. To have seen _nd heard siu-h' men ns Dr. Chalmers and " Professor' Wilson at their best and greatest is a memory ro "^e "cherished. There were giants in those days.���������Scotsman. ��������� ' ' with only a, few either side. but.if there was any ad-, vantage it was on the side.of,the American, who had the full sympathy of the, crowd. Mexicans and all. When, they came out"for tho fifth round Don winked and chuckled and said it wras time he began slicing ears off. nines had him located to a hair's breadth, and as they faced each other the American leaped forward like a flash, caught,the knife on'his and threw, it to the1 left, and next Instant his own blade had found the heart of the man who had blinded-bim. We who.were only five feet away could not follow'the movement, so swiftly was it made, but it was a successful one and of course ended the ,fight. Hines told me that during the fight he seemed to see every move and motion made by rth'e other and from the first felt sure of victory. A public purse amounting, to * over a thousand dollars was raised for him on the spot, and about five hundred ;was subsequently, added, aud bo was sent east'to some institution'and is today a teacher, of the blind and a man' too tender hearted to kill a fly. - TIIK AMERICAN LEAPED FORWARD LIKE A TLASH. . evening approached a fire beside which Hines sat alone md threw a package of powder on the blaze. With a leap aside he escaped consequences, but Jack Hines was blinded for life. It was a contemptible thing to do. and but for the civil authorities the Mexican .would have been lynched. As it was, he was kicked and beaten and bounced out of camp. A day or two later, as the girl had gone back on him, be tried to carry her off by force, but had to" let her go whon s'he stabbed him. Hines* depended on her pity in his misfortune, but sh"1 calmly told him tlTat a blind husband would be of uo use to her and laughed his tears to scorn. He had a relative in the city and was taken in and cared for, while the Mexican crossed the Rio Grande for a time. It was a year later and Jack's old outfit and all his friends happened to be in Santa b'e again when Don returned. He had grown uglier and meaner in the 12 month"*. We would have picked a fuss witb him and shot him down, but Jack Hines had no sooner heard of bis presence than he said: "Boys, you ..must arrange for a duel. I shall never re<*t content until I have killed that Mexican." "But you are blind," w3 protested. "Never mind that. 1 in net fight bim and kill hini,;blind or not. and the whole of Santa*'Fe shall look on." When we found that he would hpve It so, we earned a challenge to Don and also asked the authorities to let us have a public duel. Some weak, objections were made, but tbo*" yielded the point.' A''fight of rome sort was an bcu*iy 5nciden+, and duels came off two or three times per week The Mexican Ip.ughed in derision at the Idea, but readily accepted the dial lenge. "Yes, I will meet the Americano." he said. "and. I will slice and cut and prick for one hour'by the, watch before I r*ive bim the ���������grand finish. The orov^d that looks on will sp'4- sone of ���������h<- finest knife play 'ever- shown on 'h!<= side of the river. Tomorrow at noon eh? I will'he as prompt as the sun." You may"'believe that when thp n>- nort spread about there'was great ex citemi-n't: It. vas generally heli'-vcd that th������ blind man would fall an easy lie CfitiKlit the Gny. There are two men of tlie same name in the directory. ' One is a learned savant, the other a patron of. the-turf andQthe pool boxes, who, spends .very little timp in the city. The cub **p. porter, simply because there was nothing elsp to keep him from' bothering every one in the office, was giv������n tbe name of this man and told to get some good stories out of him about experiences on the racing circuits. The cub whistled .while he looked up the name and address, and airily served notice that he would want a couple of1 columns if- he caught that "guy"' at home. He rang and was admitted to a fine library, where a ^chofarly looking gentleman had a table covered with open books. , "Hello, old man! '*m from The Ev-">n- ing Yawp. Looking "p pedigrees, hey?" "No." in a bewildered sort of way, "I was seeing if 1 could lend some little assistance f> the recent attempts a1" constructing a seientific basis for P9sthiMics**out of the result of experimental Dsychomet'-y." "Oh. forget it. Bill. Give that griff tp the gillies and the Johnnies.

But 44Bill" had slipped, by 'he 'Millar and was racing down the hall. The next thing the cub recognized was that h" wa-.- being led out by the oar with a -UO pound menial grinning at him. Of course he had gone to the wrong man, but. he never thought of that and wanted to light the city editor on his own'terms.���������Detroit Free Press. Two Fiimons Oratorn. As was anticipated, a vast multitude assembled from all quarter"1 to hear the famous orator. This was the -"mly occasion on which 1 saw Dr. Chalmers. The sight was an imposing one. The att'tude of the audi"iice was deeply reverential, and as be gradually gathered force and fire as l*e proceeded it was greatly imprp.ssed. The scene was one for the pencil of the artist���������the old man eloquent, surrounded by hundreds of rustic admirers, awed- to stillness by the magic of his genius, while he himself, energized with mighty passion, his face flecked with foam, like a horse which has been driven at its utmost speed. And when "amen" was pronounced a deep sigh was heaved, aud the multitude "silently stole away" to ponder on their path and remark in their homes on the unwonted expe-: rierce of the day. The only other speaker I have seen- under the same kind of excitation was Professor Wilson (Christopher ,,, Onr* Sun* Tf-st.

At last I drew' from Jiirn that The Weekly Wag is wagging all the wrong way and'is bound to'go to the wall unless he can secure a few articles .from some comic writer of note. But, though'he has written to several with that object, nothing has,come of it." "In a word, the paper lias turned out4 a ruinous investment for me," he concluded bitterly. , " ,-As 1'carne up stairs, feeling utterly, miserable and depressed, a happy thought' darted into- my mind. Men don't like refusing a* .request when framed by feminine lipife, so perhaps I may1 succeed where' poor- dad has failed.' At any rate, "without a trial there's no denial," and a recent incident opens the way, for me to make the, trial. >\,' . ��������� , . ��������� A'few days-ago. while -auur and \ were whiling away an hour in the BiMt-'- ish4 museum, she bowed to a librarian. Ho responded to ber recognition with a courtly bow, and a polite smile relaxed for the moment his clean shaven, inscrutable face.', , . , * "That was the4 celebrated, Mr. Rutland, the writer of those clever articles,, my dear. I met him last week at Mrs. Pelham's," she explained as we passed on into another room. Seeing that she had turned as red as a peony, I concluded that he was a celibate as well as a celebrity! But he- certainly did not look a biL like I imagined him, for, strange to say, dad had been speaking of him to me that same morning, *>yhen lie had ��������� enviously pointed out an attractive announcement iu arrival weekly to the effect that a series of brilliant sketches from tho pen of the widely known humorisi, Rolf Rutland, would shortly appear in its columns. I am very glad now that we chanced to see him, since it paves the way for me to call-on him and explain in confidence the sad straits of The Weekly Wag and beg of him to contribute something to its pages. Aunt mentioned that he lives at Forest Gate, in a beautiful residence known as Olive Lodge. So tomorrow morning I shall take heart of grace and start on this forlorn hope. Sept. 5, 1S97,' 1:10 p. m.���������What a day of days this has been! I really ought to have dated it in rid ink: This morning directly the dear, unsuspecting dad had started for the city. I put on my sailor hut and sallied forth on my secret mission. About two hours later 1 mounted a broad flight of steps to the threshold of Olive Lodge, and I must confess that while I waited admittance my courage seemed to ooze out of my finger tips. "You are a little simpleton. Rose Harvey, quaking and shaking as though you were going to face an ogre instead of a wit," I said angrily to myself as a boy in buttons ushered me into a large drawing room, very handsomely furnished, but lacking in "pretty trifles. Giving the hoy my card I subsided into an easy chair. As I did so I caught sight of myself in a pier glass, and was relieved to see that I .looked perfectly self possessed���������wbich I certainly did-not feel. ' V The next minute the curtained door swung open, and "the celebrated Mr. Rutland" entered the room. Unless I was much mistaken a gleam of relief ��������� flashed from his steel gray eyes as they alighted on me. Possibly, since my aunt and I bear the same names, he had expected to see her, and of "two evils" would rather deal witb the lesser!. Producing the current number of The Weekly Wag, I explained���������rather abruptly, I'm afraid���������the nature,of my visit. While he listened his gaze of polite attention became a stare of unbounded amazement, and, nstead of accepting the proffered paper, he sprang to bis feet with an exasperated gesture. "This is a most preposterous request, young lady! .It is utterly out "of the question that'any article from my pen should appear through 'the medium of The Weekly, Wag.", The slighting emphasis- with which he named, the poor .little' weekly, and the withering- glance he cast on it, made me tingle "tfith rage,and,mortification. '' -* ', "Then there is nothing more to be said, except , to apologize for having troubled you with this .'preposterous request.'" I, said, rising- to my feet. And making him a stiff ^little bow. I' moved toward the {door. He had the politeness tor,hasten to open it fbr me, and'I passed out with all the dignity I' could summon. At the same moment, the hall door was hastily opened, and a tear blurred vision of a tall, straight figure in cricketing' flannels, made me redouble my efforts to repress rmy inclination to burst out crying. t Removing bis,cap the young fellow jeld the door open for me, and keepiu_r my smarting eyes bent on the ground I hastily made my exit. Never in all. tho 19 years,of my life had I felt so annoyed and resentful. '������, "So much for, my 'happy thought!'" I reflected briefly, as I descended tbe deep stairway into the station. Having ascertained that my train was not due for 15 minutes, I fell to pacing the platform, where the flaunting., posters of many ,a' prosperous compeer.; of the luckless little weekly I - still grasped gave,' a-yet'keener edge to .mj*, disappointment." Turning in' my peratubu-' lation I was,surprised to see the flan-' neL,clad figure ,of my,,tear blurred- vision hurrying toward ine. - "The old bigwig has repented of -his, insulting refusal!" I thought hopefully; while44! bowed in response to the young fellow's doff of cap. "Excuse me, Miss-Harvey, but there has been some' unfortunate, mistake,' and I have followed,you here in" the hope of straightening .matters," he said, his quick breathing and' heightened color testifying to the hot haste he had made.. "I am "the,Rolf Rutland who scribbles nonsense; my uncle is a savant..and only writes for'the" scientific journals." "A savant! No wonder-he was so annoyed at my request!" I exclaimed; blushing painfully.'-"But, really, know-' ing you,-write humor, he might .have 'guessed I had made some- such mistake." - , - " "Ah, but he did not,know'it until ten .minutes ago. I have 'great expectations' in that quarter, and have kept my frivolous talent adead secret''from him." he replied, with, a whimsical smile. ' ' ,, < "Then'I hope you, will.have:no. reason to'rue this stupid blunder of mine," I said impulsively. ��������� "I should certainly have rued it sadly if I bad never discovered it���������which is a rank Hibernicism, I suppose." And a mutual laugh set us both at our ease. "And now, Miss Harvey-, with regard to The Weekly Wag. I shall be most pleased to contribute to its columns," he said, as eagerly as though he were a struggling aspirant, anxious, to see his effusions in print. In the midst of-my delighted thanks the train dashed in, and all was confusion. When-he had handed me into a carriage he told me that directly the cricket match' was over he should run into the city and see my,'father. .Them the train moved on, and as our eyes mot in a last glance. 1 saw a look In his that made my heart dance as it had uever danced before.'

The eating of "high" game is undoubtedly attended with risks, and th*? poisonous effect's are j>robably due to the toxins produced in -the.' earlier stages of the putrefactive process. The advantage," of course, of han^ *ig game is that the flesh becomes tender'and decidedly-more digestible'-than when it is quite fresh. The' ripening process, however, may mean the elaboration of toxins. . ���������-.-,, It has been stated that-the'production of the characteristic ,flavors';of' .game is related directly to the amount ,of sulphuretted hydrogen or sulphur alcohol set7free,'.'but it is ,rather re-' pulsive to think that the delicate flavor of game is dependent upon that invariable product of decomposition' pfc rotten eggs���������sulphureted hydrogen. The smell evolved during cooking of "high" game is even more disgusting. J Fresh game,sometimes'sets up.niys-^ terious poisonous symptoms - which have been "attributed to the .fact of the game having been overhunted .-and fatigued.; Fatigue products indeed, have been separated from overhunted' game , which, when 'injected-into a healthy animal,'havo produced marked poisonous effects. .There is no doubt that fatigue products under certain circumstances are also elaborated/in the human body-and givo rise to a speeiea'' of self poisoning, characteristic sy'mp- ��������� toms of which are headache^,'stupor- and gastric and ,intestinal.pains.

"A Selecting: Glassware. ' To select'glass, with discretion it is necessary to understand somewhat', of its manufacture and'to recall the properties of the chemicals of which it is composed. These materials are chiefly soda, potash, lime, alumina aud oxide of load. The quality of the glass'to be manufactured depends . upon the amount of the basic material united with the silica or sand. The best glass is made with lead, which gives to it luster, fusibility and high refractory [towers. It is often called flint glass to - distinguish it from lime glass, which ia ' much cheaper and of a decidedly green-'-'} ish tint. . - ' - ���������''���������'-.' Flint glass is that which is most gen- ��������� erally used for cutting and polishing. It may be picked out by the clear, belllike tone which it sends forth 'when l" struck. This test may be made-without any danger of breaking the glass it" it be held firmly in one hand while the upper part or edge is sharply struck with a pencil or other instrument, the only care requisite being to see that the glass does not touch any object whou it is struck, since if there be room for it to vibrate glass will uever break.

Of all the different types and breeds of hort.es probably the-most in demaud are work horses and carriage horses for pleasure driving.

The draft horse * must in the first .place have size and substance. He must' havo heavy bone to carry his ffraat weight Along with size he must be, a good walker and a fairly ��aiy trotter. However, the most serviceable gait for a draft horse is the walk. With the renewal of Industrial activity, In this country the demand for draft horses has very largely increased. For no other class of horses have, the market prices advanced so rapidly as, they.have for draft .horses'in all our American markets.

We feel that these silent factors iu nature are reducing the pest At any rale, rhe conditions are such (lint t'he farmer and cauaer have taken ne*v hope.

It has been 'observed upon .lioth red and crimson clover, and this season hundreds of acres of red clover have been destroyed by it. I "am of opinion that red clover'is ,its ���original food.- Without doubt it is a -native American insect and has spread its attacks .to crimson o!nv"T and peas. It was estimated last year (l.po:)i that the total lo-*s from the'attacks of this ��� creature .along the Atlantic roast, states was $3,000,000 and thai" tl.e/ii.V crop was only one-half tlie usual output.

"I l'n--\v Elizabeth there is a foolish prejudice about cousins inarryiiiy, hut my experience has been that cousins who know, each other are more likely to live happily .than strangers whose bringing: up has been very different, and whose environment has been irreconcilable. Parliamentary records also'.show that the children, as a whole, are onr bri'-'litost reople. Besides Mr. .James ' Claymore is- an exceptionally fine' young: gentlo- ��������� man. . He was supcriuk-mlcnt of the St. Augustine Central ��������� Method ist Sabbath School when a mere lad.'lie is now chairman of' the Charities Committee there, and honorary president of "he Christian Kncleavorers, for the State. He is almost sure of the Republican ���������nomination for Congress in an at the next party convention, and if he gets it lie will most surely carry the colors of his party to victory. Your marriage' - with him is sure to he a brilliant and happy one, "and it will give ine extreme pleasure when it has been .onsumniat'ed, , because your mother wished it so much. And now, my child, l.'io talking"over of these'-matters has a, ���������used memories, ��������� which 1 would fain muse over iu the privacy of my own cliamber, and 1 will bid you-good^, night." ��������� t " Good-night, papa, 'and God ble\ss you. No matter how fine a man Tames Claymore may be he wil never be as fine a man as1 my papa." When, however, l-lis-fibs-th Lossing had hud down in the sandry of her own sleeping chamber, which had been-hers '���������from'her guileless childhood until now,; sliei let her thoughts go out to the mau -who was soon to share with her hor ���������bedroom and her life. "Many thoughts, " scarcely shaped to' definiteness, passed 'through her m.nd. At-her age, 17, tho 'future seemed to hold for her'a store of pleasures, ' which her imagination could scarcely define. On the silvery wings" of anticipation' her ideas, in the outline only, like argosies, went out to tho shore of promise, and the cargo they brought hack -to her'lost none-of its sweetness because of its fairy characrec. But in her .sleep her dreams were of hc-r father, and she'was with him again in her childhood, (-blowing < soap bubbles fio'm the window of their city home,->or rambling in the warm sunlight -on the , New Jersey shore. CriAPTBR III. T_TK POSTPOXKMKXT Ot'4. __ MARK.AGE. c Elizabeth exerted herself i as only a ���������girl of her temperament could, to make her father happy 'for the few days of her stay iu New York City, ere she left him for her uncle's home in the south. And when she finally hid bim good-bye at the depot (she'preferred the train io ocean travel"), she bolaced ber own heart by calling loudly to him from the fast- moving, coach. '"Go to the 'poslot'hVe every day, papa; and you will'find a card or letter there from me." When she arrived in the .south, James Claymore was on the train looking after her baggage almost before (he trr.in had stopped at the station. * c His greeting to her was most affaM--. "Why. my .cousin." he said, "how fine you are looking," and his gentlemanly Lea ring and gallantry won her good op nion at once. He assisted her into the Claymore doircart - beforo anyone else could offer her that courtesy, and did not try to disguise the pleasure it gave him to sit by her side. Arriving at the Claymore residence, Elizabeth' was introduced to some people ot note, and was then conducted to her room and assisted to dress for dinner by a maid in waiting.

CHASE He Cures Every Form of Piles Thoroughly and Well Without the Danger, Expense and Pain of an Operation. It Is surprising what a large number of men and- women suffer from the wretched uneasiness and torturing itching of piles. You may bo among those who,, through modesty or fear of the surgeon's knife, have been prevented from appealing to your physician' for a cure. iTou have tried the hundred and one things that friends have recommended and have become discouraged. You say, as' many have said before you,, that there is no cure for piles. Now is the time for you to turn to Dr. Chase, whose famous ointment is recognized the world over as the only actual cure for every form of piles. The real substantial value of Dr.. Chase's Ointment has given it a unique position among medicines. It is used in nearly every neighborhood on this continent and has become ���������known by. word of mouth from friend to friend arid neighbor to neighbor. Ask your friends about it, ask your druggist, ask your doctor. Others have been 'discouraged, and after years of misery have been cured by Dr. Chase's Ointment. Here is one. Mrs. Janies Brown, Hintonburg, near Ottawa, writes:���������"I have been a constant sufferer from nearly every form of piles for the last 20 years, and during that time, both here and in tlie.old country, have tried almost every remedy. - ' "I am only doing justice to Dr. Chase's Ointment when I say that I believe it to be the best remedy obtainable for bleeding and protruding/ piles. I strongly recommend Dr. Chase's Ointment to mothers, or indeed, to any person suffering from that dread torment���������piles." Mr. George Thompson, a leading, merchant of Blenheim, Ont., states : "I "was troubled . with itching piles for 15 years, and at times they were so bad I could scarcely walk. I tried a great many remedies, , but never found anything like Dr. Chase's Ointment.; , After the- third application. I obtained relief, and vtjas completely cured by using one box." Ask your neighbors about Dr.; Chase's Ointment, the only absolute cure for piles. You can obtain Dr. Chase's Ointment for 60 cents a box from any dealer. If you prefer, enclose this amount to, these offices and the remedy will be sent, postpaid, to your address.

The Hancock tavern was well lighted within, .although from the street, on account of\the, windows being heavily shuttered, it looked very somber. c Around a table at one end of the main room sat three men. One was about of the average height and gave one the impression ot great muscular ability. He was light complexioned and had remarkably light blue eyes. He wore a long red cloak, and a cocked hat lying ou the table near him. disclosed*4 to the observer the fact that he wore a gray-wig. Next to bimsat a tall, thin, noble looking gentleman, attired in a rich scarlet coat gorgeously embroidered. Ruffles of immaculate whiteness appeared from beneath the bottom of his sleeves. ' The third gentleman was a-well built man and in appearance was a perfect type of colonial breeding and patriotism. He was an artist. This trio might well grace any inn. They were Samuel Adams. John Hancock and Paul Revere. They were engaged in an earnest discussion when they were interrupted by u knock on the door. Then- v. a- admit- ted a young, man scaicely over 21. of quick . movement -md compact appearance: patriot in every action. This was Richard Dunstan. Iiichaid Duustan's part,in'these meetings was generally that of listener. While the others discussed important topics he listened and nodded now and then when an important point was made. He was deeply interested in the talk - for awhile, but presently it entered into subjects'that were too deep'for his comprehension. After being buried in his own thoughts for some time, he quietly rose from the table without being noticed and sauntered out through the door. Emerging into Corn court, whose deep recesses are not known to half the town, he intended to enjoy a: walk about, it being a beautiful night, with a fulj.mooh shining overhead. . Strolling along leisurely, he happened by chance to glance back over his shoulder toward the tavern. Then it was he became aware of a figure crouching near the door of it. : Richard instantly thought of all he had heard of spies and what great harm they could do with sufficient information brought to the colonial governor. Making his mind up in an instant as to his course of action, he*began hastily but cautiously retracing his steps toward the tavern. As he approached nearer Dick could see that the'spy was enveloped in a long cloak, the collar of which was turned up to completely bide his face. Advancing more slowly now, as he was almost in touching distance of the figure and wanted to capture him without any noise, Dick saw the man stretch his hand out to grasp the door knocker. Richard thought how reckless the spy was getting. \_ Our hero soon brought matters to a climax, however, by grabbing tbe figure with a sweep of bis right,arm, and, clapping his left hand over the spy's moii.h, he prevented any outcry. _ t Not much of a struggle was made, as Dunsta'n had taken the culprit too much by surprise. , Starting to drasr the figure to a doorway near by to question him,' Dick was startled out of his, wits/ to hear a dis-. tinctly feminine voice say:' ' "Oh, please don't! 'Yoa hurt dreadful ivl" ' - ' "Miss Hutchinson! You here!" "Mr. Dunstan! Oh,f'dear!" exclaimed Rosabelle, for* it was she. "I thought you were to stay at home tonight. "What does your presence here in this unseemly predicament mean, may I ask?" questioned Dick.- _��������� At this rather high flown speech Rosabelle arose on her dignity, too, saying. "Oh, well, if you intend talking to me in this strain I refuse.to have anything tc say to j*ou. Come, sir, will you escort me home, pray?" she added. ���������'"Of course I shall take you home. Come on. But I .wish you would explain your ��������� presence here, as you have placed me inran extremely awkward position, to say the least. I don't know whether you heard anything of importance or not. If you'did, it's my duty tc report it, to my superiors, and they will do as they see fit:. I'll leave it to you tc tell me the truth. I'll take your word,' of,course," said perplexed Dick. ���������_ "Oh, Richard, L am sorry I have beerr fooling ,you so long., I really like yon very_,much, but,l cannot love you." It might as well be told now as any, time. I have another lover c'n board the, tea ship, Dartmouth, which is 'due/here -tomorrow, whom I love very much and have promised to marry!4" Now, I didn|1 hear anything at the door tof-the tavern. , Yesterdays. I heard you say'there,was going Jp be a meeting'here tonight to-discuss > means of getting rid of the . tea.' You must'know they will use violence, and Frank is so brave and reckless 1 thought' some harm might come to him, so-I'came'to see if I could hear of it and .find means to prevent it if possible. But I've "heard'nothing. ,,Now you know everything, and 1 am very sorry I had to tell- you, but things could, not go on between' us," as Frank will be here, and we must pint. I know you love me enough to make me one promise". It is that you do everything in your power to bring Frank safely to me, and you shall receive my.heartfelt gratitude." During this speech Richard and Rosabelle had .almost <icached their destination. " While' she^ was talking Dick listened , with bowed "down head. ' Who could guess his sufferings? He had been v living until now iu a* dream.

It ,was indeed a sad^ awakening. "All he could say as he passed her in at her doorii his heait was so full, was, "I make you that pioniise." While saying it he looked lovingly into her eyes and held her hand until the last vvotd( was said. ��������� \ * * * , ��������� i ��������� ��������� * The eveutiul day, Dec. 16, 1773. had arrived. Nothing was to be done until the eyeniug. The tea ships had hud in the harbor Iroin Nov. 2S to Dec. 10. On this day a meeting was culled at Faneuil hall. It was Sjoii so crowded that it had Jo adjourn to the Old South church. The 'meeting -continued along peacefully until (> p. in., when the people present weic aroused by Indian wnrwhoops very naturally given, aud a_ crowd of young men disguised as Indians proceeded to Griffith':* wharf, off which the ships were anchored. From thence they boarded the ships aud in-three hours had broken aud thrown into the sea 342 che-.es of lea. "��������� Our hero took no pait in the proceeding-;. He had rowed out leisurely lo the Dartmouth and boarded her. Ele soon tound' Frank True-sham by inquiring of the captain as to his whereabouts. Frank v. as> a typical Englishman, clean 'cut and of a doglike tenacity of character. By pure hard work during two years before the mast he had risen to .the position of second lieutenant. Everybody liked him, as our Richard soon did himself. Dick told him how things slood and informed him ih-n he had been .seal by Mis'-1 Rosabelle to -eo him safely to her home. Continuing. ttichaid Dunstan s;iid: "1 know you wouldn I need my ���������services, to get to laud if thi- lea business wasn't in exi-feuco. but us it is I shall have to get nn order, perhaps, although if we put on a bold from they won't prevent our landing, especially as we can work our way down a couple of wharfs in my boat and land and no one will lie the wiser." .' ���������'Thanks, old, chap." said Frank. He had become on almost intimate terms with Dick already and showed it in his language. "I might as well tell you now, for I am a pretty sharp beggar at reading character, that I kind of guess there is more behind this than you want to let .me know. You're not doing this, altogether for my sake. But I'll inquire of Rose when I see her." ��������� Dick said nothing to this, but rowed on in silence. They, soon arrived at their landing place. .'After tying up the boat Richard took Frank to Rosab'elle's door. He could not bear to see their meeting. 'Frank heard'of Richard's goodness and other thiiigs from Rosabelle, and he became one of Dick's warmest friends. Frank, Rosabelle and Governor Hutchinson soon sailed, for England, .where Frank and Rosabelle were married. Frank returned to America to.fight for England. Dick fought faithfully for the colonies. After the war they returned to their respective homes. Their correspondence and friendship continued. In one of the last letters Richard received he was informed of the birth of young Richard Truesham. Dick Dnnstan remained a bacheIori That was his fate.���������Boston Traveler.

He was full of dumb eloquence, uncomprehended desires, veiy restless and sometimes unintentionally amusing. Lucie Sarrant, as she watched Norton and Sonia. felt daily more murderous, yet-'by the time the week was at an end the boy and Sonia had never been alone together, never said one woid which had not been overheard. ^\t the end of the week they would not let her go.

Representatives of the legume family are found, in all climates and countries." The pea and beau grow rapidly, three to four months being sufficient to bring most varieties to maturity, and consequently they can be grown in the tshort summers of far northern lands. - the pea. the most hardy of them, at least as far as 67 degrees north lati-"* tude. and. as they also stand high teru-- peratures. they are all largely cultivated In tropical and subtropical regions The pea Is the favorite legume of mid- " die and northern Europe, while ln the Mediterranean countries the bean is grown more ge_ .rally than the pea. In nearly oil sections of our own country both the pea and bean are grown extensively and are even exported. Peanuts of a superior quality are cultivated In our southern states. So far as can be learned, the lentil is at present grown in- this country only to a small extent in the southwestern portion of Ui������ United States.

A part if not all of the wood material used on the farm can and'should be grown there.; The profit on this timber growth rightly belongs" to the farmer, and it Is therefor- one which economic agriculture cannot neglect.
