But Miss Minerva recognized her
scholar, darted forward and rescued her,

asked for explanations.
The explanations ended in i swoon

The next morning Charles stood be-

on his face.
In her lap she helda pocket OF letters
which she had perused.
"Can it be that my daughter would
write and receive such things as these -
she said.
"My dear sister," said Charles, "all

the part of the gentleman, it was all a
piece of acting. Helen was in earnest.

Mrs. White listened. She was angry.

And walking down this shady lane
His story brings to mind again.
Young Rodney was q farmers son,
A sprightiy youth Of twenty-on

A bonny, brown. haired girl was she.
But Mildred loved another one,
The squire's handsome and gallant son:
And In her rambies quite forgot
The playmate Of her youth, wot.
But Rodney watched them ev'ry day
And heavy-hearted raked his hay,
While In his mind dwelt the bitter thought
That the squire's son his misty brought.
AZ sat-un.s close Was drawing near,
And all The trees looked bare and scar,
Slowly and silently one day
Toward his homo walked Rodney Gray.
And as he pass'd this self.same place,
With head bowed down and gloomy face.
lie heard = moan aud turning round.
Beheld his rival on the ground.
Thrown by his steed he lies to-day
Mute at the feet of Rodney Gray:
And bending DER him as he lies
Rodney's hatred and passion rise.

Manly figure and handsome face.

And Of her heart and hand robbed me-
And standing on this very swari

A DISCOVERY About CoRN.--An
exchange tells Of man who plants, two
or three weeks after the crop is planted,
n new hill Of corn every fifteenth row,
each way. And this is the reason II
weather becomes dry after the filling
time, the silk and tassels both become
dry and dead. In this condition, if it
should become seasonable, the silk re-
wives and renews its growths, but the
tassels do not recover. Then, for want
of pollen, the new silk is unable to fill
the Office for which il was designed
The pollen from the replanted corn is
then ready to supply pollen, and the
filling is completed. He says nearly
all the abortive ears so common in corn
crops are caused by the want Of pollen,
and he has known ears TO double their
size in this filling.

pS-Yes, daughter, you should go
somewhere this summer. You cannot
stay home during warm weather and
live. To be sure your mother who
hasn't been out Of town since she was
married, can stand it, but then she is
old-fashioned and doesn't know any
better, and besides, she has fun enough
doing the washing and ironing. BY all
means go. Get linen duster and a
basket and go at once.

only deficient the fact that no such Interview

estate was assessed by the tax commissioners
at 5000, 900. After his demise 1t was assessed
to his executors, but they claimed that the

and they announced that they would take legal
proceedings In order to secure exemption from
the tax, which, based on the valuation of the
property, amounted to $T9,75l.75. They have,
however, paid this sum at the tax ONCE to-

baltimore Decision as TO NOn.Re esi.
dent Traders

BALTIMORE, Jan. 19.-In the criminal court
to-day Judge Pinkney rendered his decision In a
case involving the liability of non-residents or
commercial travellers to pay license for selling
goods by sample in this state VIM. 81. Pugh,
agent for Amos r. Little & Co.. of Philadelphia,
the agents for the Pacific Mills in Massachu-
setts, was indicted for selling one hundred yards
of cotton print to a firm In Baltimore by SAM
pie, none OF the goods being in this state when
sold. The Supreme Court OF the United States,
in the well known Maryland case of Ward agt.
the state, decided that the law OF this state,
requiring non-residents to pay three hundred
dollars Tor license to sell their goods manu-
factured In another state by sample. was
unconstitutional, since it Disseminated against
citizens of other states in taxing them with a
greater sum for license than imposed on resi-
dent dealers. Since the decision in the Ward
case no state law has been enacted licensing
nonresident statesmen, and by this indictment
it is sought to place them on the same footing
as resident dealers, and make them pay the
same tax. Judge Pfnkney to-day said he had
examined the provision Of the code under which
the Indictment was found, and from revision OF
the history of the legislation on the subject he
was of opinion that the traFerser was not
within the operation of the statute. He there
fore found verdict of not guilty.
