Two of them were residents of the country, neighbors returning from a business trip necessitated by the bogus sales of a bogus land agent, which had involved their property. Tho third traveler was a woman from a far" New England town, whose whole, life, up to her comely middle age, had been 'spent''in the rush and turmoil of a monster factory. To hei the wide, illimitable plain was ii revelation of the vnstness of God's domain, and she brooded over it in silent, dreamy contemplation. She smiled and answered pleasantly when spoken to. but had volunteered no information concerning herself, and Lee and Bain- bridge felt some curiosity as to her destination. They knew nobody in the sparsely settled region beyond who was expecting company, and such an event would be hews for fifty miles around. . She had accepted the detaining acci dent without worry or ���������impatience and after supper sat on the porch of th*? small hotel, her eyes li.ved in wondering awe upon the distant mountains, beyond whose peaks streamed the glory of the setting sun. "She looks like home," Bainbridge said, indicating her with a nod. "She's that kind," Lee returned, with the assurance of knowledge gained by experience. He was a- married man. They lounged out nud took a bench near her. "Going on with the coach, ma'am?" Lee ventured after awhile. "Why, yes," she replied pleasantly, rousing. "I'm going out near Wallace." "Why, that's our postoffice! Just a sUack,0you know���������Store"and'postoffice together. Are you locating in that^' neighborhood'.'" V "Yes, quite near. _And you are some of our neighbors? That's good! 1 seem, to almost know you. I'm Almira Burton." Sho laughed like a pleased child and put out her hand as she introduced herself, , The men exchanged startled glances at the name, but they shook hands ��������� cordially. "I am Bob Leo; have a wife (best in the world) and four, towhends. This is Wilsie Bainbridge, the old bachelor who 'lived by himself,*"������ Lee went on loquaciously. . "I'm glad there aro children near, I am going to miss ours at home bo -dreadfully," she said. "Maybe they won't bo what you'd ���������call near," ho laughed. "Anything's 'near' out here iuside of twenty miles." "Our quarter section is two miles south of Wallace, and the agont said ���������thcro'd bo a railroad soon. I hope ' -you're not far away." "You bought, I reckon," Bainbridge said. "Land's uii boon taken up round hero ever so long," "Yos, that's what tho agont snid; though it doesn't scorn possible. Why, it's Just ono groat ocean of land out horo. I, didn't realize there was so much-and all taken. But somo folks own mllos, don't thoy?"

Of course I felt uu ititorost iu such near nplirlibnr*-." "Why, I'm rent glad!" she said lir-nrtllyj "real glad. I don't fool ot all ns if I was going among strangers, mooting my neighbors this way." "Aro you going to dive there alono?" Lee inquired boldly. Her face clouded. "I must for awhile. I am going to hire a dugout or some kind of shelter put up, and I want to start things as soon as I can. Tom's sickly, and he's dreadfully run down. He 'couldn't be alone out here." A glow ot confidence .lighted her eyes, and she continued: "We've been saving a long time to get a home out iu the country somewhere. Tom was never strong and the last year or two has developed consumptive tendencies, and the doctors advised him to come out in this part of the west and live. They say ne'tl get well and be stronger thas over. We got this land real cheap through the agent, and it's all paid for and enough over to bring mo out and get some sort of shelter and a start in cattle. I thought I could buy some calves cheap, and I'll hire some break-, ing done and raise some grain and get chickens. They'll come out as soon as we get enough to bring them. I hope it won't be long, I'm so anxious about Tom." There was a thrill of appri'Lien- sion in'her voice. "He coughs bad at times and some days can hardly get to his work. Annie, his wife, goes hi his place part of the-time and makes hiia rest riff and slay with the children. I must get -.them here as soon as possible." "Yes, he needs to come," Lee said, regarding her with a sort cf amazement.' "And, look here," Bainbridge put in, "we'll put up your shanty and do your breaking,' and it ���������'shan't cost you anything. We always do that for our new neighbors, and I guess we can rustle up some calves for you, and you return them when you'ro all here and your1 herd grows." The tears rushed to her eyes, and she exclaimed: "Oh, what big hearts you have out here in this big country! I'll be the best neighbor you ever had. There's lots I can do for you if you are alone." . "Yes, ma'am; I reckon there is," he said awkwardly, a wistful.pity mingling with the embarrassment in hia face. He strolled away presently, and Lee followed in obedience.to a sly sign, and she relapsed into dreamy contemplation, her heart warm with the kindness of these new neighbors. 7 "Look here," Bainbridge said savagely when they were out of sight, "if you ;I������t it out I'll kill you!" ������������������That's right," Lee assured him. "Wbm's���������a~b-eggarly���������quarter���������section- anyway? I'd cut 'env off that much and welcome." "But it's already cut off of mine," Bainbridge bristled jealously., "That rascally blackguard! This is only one of the many pitiful cases of his thieving. But they've dropped right on to their feet! I'll fix it so they'll never know." Lee gravely shook his hand, then burst out: "But Lordy, Lordy, the innocence of it! Cattle raising on a quarter section, and all tho rest of it��������� them's tbe kind that fatten tho rascals. But she's good! I'vo got a good woln- an. i know one when I seo her." "Yes, she's good," Bainbridge asserted absently. "Makes you feel like Sim- day morning, and all the bells ringing," "Ho, ho! I must toll Ellon that. She eays you're a born poet and only need a good woman to bring it out." "Beckon I've found her," Bainbridge grinned sheepishly, turning away. Tho moon was diffusing a mellow daylight whon ho returned from a long walk in communion wltb himself. He found her still on the porch and sat down in awkward silence. Then ho began abruptly: "Don't bo frightened, Miss Burton, at what I'm going to say. My head's level; anybody round horo Ml toll you that. I always know tyhat I want, and wo do things quick out horo.

This change of color i3 due to the fact that the interstices between tbe grains of soil are filled with, water, so that the number of reflecting surfaces, which in a dry condition scatter and break up the light, are greatly reduced in number. It follows that the total ���������i*i*ouut of light reflected to the eye is correspondingly diminished. In short, as the color shade of an object depends upon the proportion of light that is reflected for all the light that falls upon it, dry soil .is lighter in shade than Wet, 'which reflects less light. That portion of .'incident light which wet soil fails to reflect penetrates belpw the surface, where it is lost or absorbed. "WASTED INDUSTRY. Flovrcr of the Air.'

A number* of white footed mice which I had in captivity, says a writer ia Country Life In America, escaped from their cage to a cupboard in the kitchen, and thence through a hole lh the plaster and between the laths tg the walls of the house. Every night they came out for food. One evening I saw a mouse come out of the cupboard. He found a hickory nut on the floor and attempted to carry it up the wall twelve inches to the hole in the plaster, but, alas, the crack between the laths��������� was too narrow, and after fumbling with his burden for a minute or two he dropped It to the floor. Next he tried to push it in ahead of him, and, failing in that, he went. in himself, turned round and attempted to pull it in after him. Occasionally it would slip out of bis paws and roll upon the kitchen floor, and then out he would come and repeat the whole p'erformV ance. He tried it again and again, but with no better success. He kept at it until far into the night, and when I awoke at 7 o'elock thp next morning the first thing that I heard \vas that mouse or another one fumbling and dropping the hickory nut. V Since then I havo kept them well supplied with nuts, and, although tbey* still spend hours in carrying them to the crack in) the laths and letting them fall, they are always forced in the end to eat them in the cupboard. There is plainly a lack of ingenuity, because ;ten minutes' gnawing would have solved the problem. Had the aperture In either case been too narrow to admit themselves "they would have quickly widened it; with their teeth, but to apply the same principle to get the nut through seemed to be a piece of reasoning entirely beyond them.

HISTORY OF THE COACH. The Fir-it of These Vehicle* Was Built .In 1457. As popular as coaching is in some parts of the country, but little reliable information has ever appeared in the public press respecting its history and development. At the town of Kotze, in Hungary, in 1457, the first coach was constructed. This was soon afterward presented to Charles VII. at Paris. The first authentic record of a stagecoach -in^England^show,s���������that^six_of__s_uch, vehicles were in use there in 1062. So popular did tbey become in that country that a few years later they were in general use on all tbo principal roads of the kingdom. Steam railways have to a large extent done away with the use of the coach as a link in the commercial chain, but as a means of furnishing the highest type of recreation the coach and four is as popular today in the British empire and in France as It was when this was practically tbo only means of locomotion iu those countries.

And this brings me to what I want to say to you, Miss Clifford. You will understand that it is quite impossible for mo to bo always ..wit her. Wo live in the country, in a little house which an uncle has lately left to roe. I .havo a hundred duties to attend to, my household cares,;, my poor, people, pnd at times' I havo even to be away, for. I have a brother with a largo family, who often claims my time, and services. A maiden aunt, you know" ���������with a pleasalit smile���������"has so many calls upon her. Well, during "these absences it is not safe to leave Ellinor alone. Her health, too, is most precarious; and I have never met with a servant j'et who understood how to manage her. The real object of my being in town just now is to find some young lady to live with us���������-a regular companion for her,, in fact. I have utterly failed in; finding" any one suitable for so difficult a. position; und, what I want to ask of you, Miss .Clifford, is, whether you will come and pay us a visit whilst I am looking out for this companion?" A sudden rush of hope and delight filled my heart*.' Here at once was employment, and work, and independence, fallen as it Woro from the heavens into my path! .���������.������������������������������������Whon'.-'Miss Fairbank stopped short, and took hold of my hand in tbe earnestness of her appeal to me, and "in. evident anxiety for my answer, I replied joyfully: "No, Miss Fairbank, I cannot como as your visitor; but should I do for the companion you are looking out for?" -. ; "You, Miss Clifford? , But I thought, I understood " "You evidently, do not know of my���������-present���������circumstances, M-iss- Fairbank.

CHAPTER XXIII. Miss Barbara Fairbank was quite right whon she called Kanoton Scars a "desolate place." As I drove up to it on the afternoon of my arrival, I thought it was, without exception, the most dc-olatc and out-of-the- world place I had ever seen. There wns not. a house, nor even a tree, within two miles of it: not a hedge, nor a cultivated- field, nothing but miles and miles of wild round-topped moors, dotted over sparsely with flocks of littlo black-faced north-country sheep, and cut up at intervals by swift rocky-bedded -"-!)pc.k's1^--.thnt-J--'came���������tumbling���������down- noisily from the hills on every side. There was nothing- else to be seen in any direction--!^ was like the end of the world. The houso stood in about'five or six acres of ground, and was entirely surrounded ' by a high gray sto'nc wall, covered with lichens,, and,Uow withered ���������ferns. " It had boon a convent V ty oldon times;���������-, and was a jyeathoi'rbeatan ; " /and picturesque building, with! a ruined chapel nit one end of it. Tt stood.low.in,-a' hollow of the hills', and had a melancholy and to a certain extent a prison-like appearance. Within tho surrounding walls wero a pretty well-kept lawn and shrubbery, and a conservatory, evidently but nowly built, substantial modern outhouses, a good kitchen .garden, and a fair-sized field, or orchard, whoro tn tho summer time a couplo of cows woro to be seen. So that it was ovidont that everything that was possiblo had boon dono to make tho houso pleasant and homelike, Still, with all, it was a gloomy ploco. Insido, tho houso was prettily and comfortably furnlshod; and in a very fow days 1 folt myself perfectly at homo Jn it, Tho two "Miss Fairbanks welcomed mo joyfully. Ellinor could not mako enough of mo; sho was evidently rlo- lightod to have mo, ond soomed novor tired of sitting talking to mo in hor own queer peculiar way. Sho spent a curious llfo; sho novor occupiod horsolf'Jn noodlowork��������� nor wroto lottors, nor played tho piano. Sho road no books oxcopt tho Biblo, but that was almost invariably open upon her knoos, ovon If sho wero not roadlng it; and sho would bring its words and precepts into hor daily lifo in an extraordinary way. Sho took long'walks ovory day, in which I was hor only companion; and whon I had boon up to tho tops of all tho surrounding moors, and hnd soon tho wondorful lights and shadows among them, and had watched tho crinwon winter sunsets from thoir summits, I no longor thought tho country Ugly and uninteresting, but loarnt to soo a lovolinosa of its own Jn-Jts wild and dosolato fo'aturos. Atlss Barbara moanwhllo, rollovod by my prosonco from her constant attendance upon hor sistor,-drovo Off almost dally by hersolf In a llttlo basket pony-oarri- ago to visit her "poor pooplo" In tho noai-ost villago, about four miles offt Sho gonoi-afly wont ladon With ^���������.,.,,i! n.Ir.gj-* fer the*- chl nnd *���������!*���������':, which T helpful hor tn peek Into* the littlo carriage Wo received no visitors, and wo novor wont to church; Indeed thoro was no church to go to within, six mlJos, and, moreover, Miss Barbara told mo privately that tho excitement ol wouHig muuumu it-vcm would "bo,vory bad for Ellinor. Every Sunday Miss Barbara assembled hor household, and, spoctaclos on nose, road tho Morning Service to us. followed by a short sermon, which I have reason to suspect was hor own composition, And .very good -.urinous thsv wot* too. And 'wwe Mvi* niid then tho dorgyiuun diovo over In nil high-whoolod gig, and paid us ft pastoral visit, staying to our midday dinner, and bringing a littlo whiff of U* outer world.and tti do- loft into our quiet lives. ��������� It'would be impossible to*.* imagine a quieter life, and yet I was not in the least dull. For; to'begin with, I became deeply interested, in my charge, and intensely curious +o ���������fathom-the mystery-of her-early "life. Miss Barbara had never told me,any more about'tho sad story wh'ich'liad wrecked her- younger sister's life than sho had told-me the.'firsfc.dayil met.her in, front of .St.MaVylpbone * Church; and as she had impressed upon - mo to discourage any c'orivcrs"a:- tion concerning lier past lifo in Ellinor herself, I was .naturally anxious to fulfil'(jur wishes in this respect. Nevertheless, in-^spitc of my utmost endeavors to "���������tlie" contrary, Ellinor would at times perpetually refer to her past history, and would not con- ��������� sent to be silenced, and I could not help learning something of it" from what sho "let fall. Ono day sho said to mc, whilst wo wero out walking: "Bo you romombor that I had a wedding-ring on, the first time you saw' md?" ' '"' ' ������< 'Yes,!' I answered, shortly. '"JEre- memlier it." . . ��������� ��������� , .She was silent for a few minutes. "llhy don't, you ask questions?!' she said at last. "You don't s.eem vory inquisitive, but I know why, Barbara has loll) you. not-to let me talk, but I want to talk of myself to you because I liko you." * '* > "You had much, better not, dear;!' I answered soothingly, for .hor face had suddenly flushed, and there was a gloam of excitement in'her eyes. "Bori't be afraid," she said, laughing. -'I shall not hurt you." Then . With a sudden change of manner, she caught hold1 of my wrist, and said hurriedly: "When wo go in, 1 will show yoi*i that ring. I* keep it locked up, because Barbara won't let" me wear it; when 1 can get away bj* myself I wear it, 'for it, is'*in,ino, I ha\o a right to it; you mayn't bellovo mc, Freda Clifford, but it is as truo as you and 1 stand.here, .that I am a married woman!"

Your clothes aro too heavy and i hough you aro not sick,-you aro too tired to walk, too tired J,p work, yes, even too tirod to eat. ������������������'.- j It's that "spring feeling." j Do you know the cause of it. ? No,! all you want to "know is how to get' rid of it. Woll. tho explanation and the curo are alike slriiplo. ( In tho winter you "get used" to tho cold, you think. As a matter of fact it is tho body,.that gets prepared. It puts on a fortification, of ex-I tra tissue that keeps the cold out. ' In the spring time this tissue is throwti off by the body and if the, system is all in good working order, i tho blood carries away the cast-off tissue, which is in turn filtered out; of tho blood by thb .Kidney's, and expelled from the body. ' , This moans extra work for the Kidneys, and if theyjare at all .tired or I worn they fail,in'thoir work. The result is clogged circulation and that tirod spring feeling,, | The cure is to tone up tho -Kidneys with Dodd's Kidney Pills. Dodd's Kidney. Pills make healthy Kidneys. Healthy Kidneys quickly cleanse the blood of all impurities and tho "spring feeling" is replaced with a vigor of body and buoyancy of spirit that makes work a pleasure. The OriK'tml of the Hero of Marie Twain's ������������������("il'lc'l As?e." The real name of the hero of "The Gilded Ago" was Eschol Sellers, and he wus an inventor and an active promoter very. well known iu the early days of tho new west.. His father was ono of the first locomotive builders iu the [United States, with works at Philadelphia. Eschol Sellers aud Charles, Dudley Warner occupied adjoining houses some years before "The Gilded Ago" was written. Sellers at that time was developing a coal field near Shaw- neetown, 111., at what was then and la still known as Sellers' Landing. He was also inventing a process afterward "largely used in ��������� .milking paper out of Indian weed pulp. Ho was also experimenting with the camel back engine. Notwithstanding tho fact that Sellers'..enterprises' were destined all to be successful. Charles Dudley Warner conceived the Idea that he was a typical visionary dreamer. lie therefore suggested the name of Eschol Sellers for the horo of "The Gilded Ago," and Mark Twain used the name, believing it to be fictitious. One of tlie first copies of the book happened to be seen by Eschol Sellers, who went at once to Hartford and enjoined the publication. A compromise was effected by which the publishers paid Sellers $5,000 for damages and cut all of the plates, removing the name Eschol and substituting that of Mulberry. Eschol Sellers died at a very advanced age at his pleasant home on Missionary ridge, near Chattanooga. DOING ONE'S BEST.

It la tt Good Character Forming1 Habit to Cultivjite. This habit of always doing one's best enters into the very marrow* of one's heart and-character."

The semse of efficiency, of being master of one's craft, of being equal to any emergency, 'thTwnsciouluessof'"possessing the abfl~ ity to do with superiority whatever one undertakes, will give soul satisfaction which a half hearted, slipshod worker never knows. When a man feels throbbing within him the power to do what he undertakes as well as it can possibly be done, and all his faculties say ''Amen", to what he is doing and give their unqualified approval to his efforts���������this ls happiness, this is success. This buoyant sense of power spurs the faculties to their' fullest development. It unfolds the mental, tho moral and the physical forces, and this very growth, the consciousness of an expanding mentality and of a broadening horizon, gives an added satisfaction beyond tho power of words to describe. It is a realization Of nobility, the divinity of the mind.���������Success, A Crooked Splvc.
