could she face those Braytons with hel
story; and how could she beg pardon and
assistance, as it were, of Herman Brayton
toward whom she had begun to feel q set
tied dislikei
While she was hurrying along with
burning cheeks, turning over these
wretched thoughts in her mind, and feel
ing very humble, q young man sprang
over the low wall by the road side, and
politely raised his hat. He wore farm.
1aborer's blouse and checked shirt; but
the lines of his form were graceful, and
his manner had a charm quite foreign to
the homespun youths of the neighbor-
hood.
Excuse me, Miss Henderson" he said,
at once. 81 know you by sight, and, see
ing you 60 by, thought 1 would take the
opportunity to send word to your father
that six of his cows are in my barnyard.
OF course, he can have them on demand.
Old Bess, believe they call her, has a
vicious pair of horns She slipped her
hamper, and let the others into my buck
wheat field. I shall leave it to Mr.. Hen
derson to estimate the damage, Cor, from
what report says of him, / know he will
be inclined to do the fair thing"
For q moment Rachel stood quite over
whelmed by the lesson in Christian for
bearance which Herman Brayton had un-
consciously taught her; but at last the
tears would come to relieve her painfully
excited state of feeling, and must admit
that for the moment her conduct was not
at all in keeping with the character of
highstrung, spirited girl How confession
was made / do not quite know; but GER
tain it is that Herman, a. old Mrs. Petit
grew expressed it, "took shine to
Rachel, even in her tears.
"Don't distress yourself about Brindle,
he said. soothingly, as soon as matters
were made plain to him. az understand
cow-doctoring pretty thoroughly, and
think / know just what to do for her.
You have been sadly pestered with our
unruly animals this summer; but / must
say, by way of apology, that the old place
when we moved in was neither hen nor
pig-proof Crops were pressing, hands
short; and, Of course, some things were
neglected. Be assured you shall have
nothing of the kind to complain of in the
future, Miss Henderson, unless you take
me up for trespassing; for / mean to come
over some day and see if we cannot ar
range treaty of peace"
That evening Herman sent messenger
to say the COW was out of danger, and a
strange new flutter awoke in Rachel's
heart

Hill. Then s'pose you could bear the
brunt Rachel, ehs"
did you ever know me to shirk re-
sponsibilitys" inquired Rachel, loftily:
$50 along, Jack, and don't be coward.
When Jack came in with the menfolks
at dinner time, he looked sulky and out
of sorts, and kept telegraphing in dumb
show to Rachel across the table, until at
last, when she got up to cut the pie he
followed her into the buttery and shut the
door.
81 tell you what it is, R ichel," he broke
out, g that was sneaky piece of business !;
and don't mean to do any more such
joba threw the rooster into Brayton's
yard, and then 1 got behind tree; and
pretty soon one of the girls came out and
found it, aud began bohooing like baby.
As near as could make out, it was pres
ent to her, and she had raised it in bas-
ket; and felt just as if l had been stealing
. sheep"
"Let them boohoo," replied Rachel,
with severe dignity. "They ought to
think enough of their choice fowls to keep
them at home"
After the dinner dishes were out of the
way, and the chores all done up, Rachel
2eplenished her fire, and put on an extra
sized kettle of water to heat. Then she
went up stairs and changed her dress
and when she came down again there was
q bit of a lace collar with transferred work,
and cherry bow at the throat of her de-
laine dress, over which she wore jaunty
black silk apron with braided pockets
She seated herself with her work has,
ket at the sitting room window, almost as
if looking for company, and let her gaze
wander down the visible stretch of road,
where golden-rod and asters bloomed,
and the sumac bushes beside the old stone
walls appeared to drip with scarlet color,
and the pokeberry was turning a vivid
purple.
Presently her eye lit up with CLEAN of
triumph. There were the Brayton pigs,
nosing along the dust of the road; and
for once, she was glad to see the pests.
They were long -snouted, slab sided ami
mails, with plentiful marks of the slough
upon their coats and unappeasable appe-
titos.
Rachel watched with grim species of
Amusement TO see them turn in from habit
toward the Henderson eide-gate, which
was shaded by huge blackberry tree,
and begin the process of roofing under.
They dug with the nozzle, bent the fore

q GONG BACK TO OLD PRINcI1 rs.--It is
suggested by an English Admiral that the
pillow OF the vessel, instead of the gun. will
be the great arbiter in wars of the future
and that TIE "'rarn should be built Of great
strength, great speed, great hardness, and
low in the waterD So far alhagree but the
Admiral thinks that for ocean service naval
warfare would certainly be very much SIM
trial of "butting'" It might be easy for the
ram" when la wooden vessel of the ordinary
build or even an iron one ofthe usual model
were to be sunk. But how when "ram
meets ram," The tug of war would come
down to a. series ofmere bobbing exploits of
the most brutal kind. But perhaps the
sooner warts reduced to its revolving absurd
ity, the sooner men will have done with it. ,

PRESERVE PLENTY OF TOMATOES
Nothing else, if we except potatoes. sup
plies better standard article of food
through the whole year. Cooked with
plenty of bread crumbs, they furnish a
very palatable and nourishing table dish,
especially from december to June, when
fresh garden vegetables are not abund-
ant. Having sometimes failed with jars,
we new use tin cans ten inches long and
four and a quarter inches in diameter
(cut from sheet of tin ten by fourteen
inches, and cheaply made) a hole, say
one and half inches in diameter1 is left
in one end. The tomatoes, in large
quantity at a time, are cooked welL as
for the table, but without salt. They
are poured into the cans hot, and bit
of tin we'll soldered on. We put up
fifteen to forty cans at time, and call in
a tinman to do the soldering as ready at
a time. Thus closely sealed, they will
keep perfectly month, a year, or five
years. To provide against poor year,
and insure full supply always, we put
them up for one or TWO years IN advance.
