left her bed and sat at her window in the Hys-
sop House, and saw two women whom she did
not know go to the bank, knock at the win
dow, talk to you, and then you came out and
went away with them, and she did not wait to
see you come back. This was enough for her
active mind to interpret into scandals and if
she had not left Hyssop that night for Chicago,

Here John and Edna exchanged looks.

she concluded her story with, Il never knew
who those women were, but of course

"Don't!" said Mrs. Parke, energetically.
"There is no time worse wasted than in hunt

would be more than useless to hunt it up again
into fresh action; besides, perhaps it has done

sure you are not to blame.
Yours, very truly, EDNA DEANE.''
No sooner was the Hyssop Bank closed that
August afternoon than John Hackett went off
toward the lake at a pace that would have done
credit to professional pedestrian; nor did he
wait very long before, by a strange coincidence,
Miss Deane appeared, having chosen the hour
OF her fathers daily nap to take little air.
There were plenty of boats about, and it cost
but one or two suggestive remarks from the
lady to induce John to propose sail, and soon
their oars, and might have listened to the high
silver carol of the wood-thrush if they had not
preferred each others voices for then and there
John Hackett told Edna Deane that same old
story everybody tells somebody sooner or later
stale alone to the old and world-weary, sweet
beyond its intrinsic sweetness when its telling
defies authority and laughs at obstacles
Yes, while Papa Deane slumbered on his bed
that warm afternoon, with silk handkerchief
decorously spread upon his face to warn off
trespassing flies, the youth he had so bullied
and forbidden was making love to his daugh-
| ter, out of sight and reach, and his own folly
had precipitated the crisis, perhaps created it,
But blessed as the two lovers were when they
| glided softly back in the sunset to the tiny
| pier, and parted with that lingering hand-clasp
| so dear to people absorbed in each other, their
| troubles had begun.
In a town like Hyssop perpetual little day
OF judgment dawns with every sun; there is
nothing hidden from eyes that make business
| of seeing, or ears that have nothing to do but
| hear. While John and Edna planned their
meetings, and took drives and walks together
| that they fondly fancied no one discovered
since each left the street in different direc-
| tion, wherever they met afterward, they never
met or drove or walked that somebody knew it,
and somebody told everybody else of it; had
| they conducted their affair on the house-top il
would have been less patent Now the young
| men who had called John milksop, stune
with envy to think he had succeeded in monop
| olizing this pretty girl, got hold of Mrs
| Green's scandal, and helped the story to more
| legs: it ran all abroad. till Edna,S friends in
hartford heard it, and wrote her letters Of
warning and remonstrance, which she angril,
burned and more angrily answered; at last hei
uncle in Dartford heard the story, and wrote q
long and solemn letter to her father, full OF
| reproach and remonstrance.
| This woke Mr.. Deane to full sense of the
| situation; he bestirred himself to examine the
facts; charged Edna with being in love with
that fellow Hackett," and felt his scant hail
rise up on his head as she said, very coolly.

The Demand for Heavy Horses.

DURING the past fifteen years there
has been great change in the demand
for horses in this country. Formerly
nearly every one bred in relation to
speed and endurance. Now a large
proportion of farmers breed with a view
of increasing size and strength. This
change is. not the result of caprice.
There has been a steadily increasing
demand for heavy horses, and cores
ponding falling off in the demand for
light ones. Fashion has had little to
do in this 1nStter.z Heavy horses are
wanted because they supply an existing
want. From present appearances it
will be many years before the supply of
heavy horses will equal the demand.
The country is now well supplied with
.horses. At no time in it's history, per-
haps, were there so many horses to a
given number of inhabitants as at pres
emit. Small work horses are low, but
heavy draft horses continue to be high.
- The importation. of Clydesdale and
Percheron- Norman horses increases
every year. The first that were
brought over were regarded as very
uncertain ventures. At present they
are of no doubtful value. The i'm
porters of horses from France and
Scotland have suffered none of the
reverses, of the importers of short-horn
cattle. With rare exceptions they have
become rich. From present appearances
we shall soon be, sending Clydesdales to
Scotland and Eng]and' and Normans to
France andis Bd& iums The value of
heavy draft horses wasrecognized in the
old World before it was in the new.
Now that their worth is appreciated
here all persons having teaming to do
seem anxious to procure them. In this
city, the average size of horses appears
tofhcrease every season, and the like is
true in nearly every city in the entire
country.
Large horses are less liable to injuries
from the swinging of the poles of aag-t
ons than small ones. Their bones are
firmer and they are, COMMONLY more
hardy. Large horses are more econom-
ical as respects harness, stalLroom, feed
and work required to take care of them.
A large proportion Of the teaming now
done IS over short distances and it is
more important to drawa large load
than to make the trip quickly. Before
the Introduction of heavy draft horses
the teaming in the hillys and timbered
portions Of the country was chiefly per-
formed bt oxensi Now oxen are being
superseded by heavy horses in all these
sections. Persons travelling for business
on pleasure now ride in cars instead of
stages. There, is still large demand
for horses Of moderate size for driving
street-carss; but breeding stage-horses
is a business Of the pastg In all the
countries, Of. Eastern Europe heavy
horses are taking the place Of light ones

A-Stranger in the Supreme Court.

'sTHE apparel offproclaims the man, -
said Polonius. He was judicious in
not substituting Always for Soft For,
not unfrequently,s it has been found
that the finest bird is not the one that
wears the finest feathers.
Years ago, the. staid citizens of Wash
ington were astonished one morning at
the appearance Of a strange figure in
their streets. Heswas dressed in an
old pair of corduroys, ripped at the
ankle for convenience in rolling up, a
drab overcoat, much the worse for
wear, and furnished with several capes,
hung at his heels. WORKOUT, united,
unbuckled shoes and a ''shocking hat
completed his costume,
Solemnly he s1stalked through the
streets, six feet~in height, leading a
little black, rough-haired FLY, her tail
matted with burs. A pair of small
saddle-bags hung over the saddle, in
which were stuffed papers and ginger
bread and cheese. Stopping at an OBJ
scure tavern, he put up his mare and
relieved himseHof his great-coat. In
to one of the pockets of a short, gray
linsey roundabout he. stuffed some
bread and cheese, and into the other a
bundle of law-papers, tied with yarn
string.
Ioquiring the way to the Supreme
Court, he walked forth, the wonder of
the negroes and idle boys. Arriving
at the courthouse, he sauntered with

said Taylor, showing much irritation.
Taylor finished his powerful argu-

bar and court looked as if they doubted
their eyes and ears.

IA pleasant anecdote of Mr.. Ralph
Waldo Emerson was related by a lady
in Meadville, Pa, the other day, and Is
reported by the Iade1 of that town.
When Mr.. Emerson was travelling, in
Egypt with his daughter they met an
Englishman who did all in his power to
make It pleasant for them, and when
the time came for their separation, said:
" You may wonder, sir, at my having
