A young clergyman and his b.ia)

the freshness and elegance of her brida

modest, from a perhaps w~cll-founded
conviction that his punishment (what-
eve they meant by that) had been
mctcd on, by Providence. But after a
few wears the Bartons so far relented as
to assist their erring sister to open a
small shop, in serving which Curly
found employment not too hard for his
feeble strength.
Long before this the trouble between
the workingmen and "bosscs" OF
Smokcton had been submitted to arbi-
t4ation and settled. Then came a
European war and a consequent boom
in iron. Some of the mill men (who
perhaps had a finger or two i'll other
speculations) grew suddenly rich,
among whom was Godfrey Walton, now
married and the head of a family. His
wife became Il leader in Smoketcn So
cietv. and her handsome carriage often
passed the little, o~ne-windowed shop
where Thisbe oiliciated with unfailing
good temper and the brightestof smiles.
But no sign of recognition cver came
from carriage to shop, wen when upon
bright summer days Curly's chair was
set upon the pavement and his pale
figure ]uNuriarcd in the sunshine. Then
he would grumblc bitterly against what
he called his fortune. and his wife would
answer, as she tossed her bright-haired
baty until he crowcd again, while dark
eyed Lima clung timidly to her dress.
You keep still, Curly Schwartz. I'm
the one to complain, for l might been
iidin' in that carriage now if I'd a
chose"
"But you amt sorry. Thisbe?' Curly
would ask, with an anxious glance into
her face.
''Not much!' would be the vigorous
response. 81 never could abide the
sight of that Gcoti. Walton, anyhow"
60 Thisbe, Thisbc, what a memory you
have!D t.'and besides, a woman can't be
more than perfectly happy, seems to me.
More than that, whatever would you do
without NC, Curly?"
ode" Curly would answer quietly.
Then a momentary glance of tender
ness would soften the bright brown
eyes, to be Immediately dismissed with
a toss Of tie tawny head as Thisbe
would lift up her voice in some gay
song, to which the baby boy would
crow an answer, while her husband
listened with a smile of happiness

FocL.ING SMOKERS.
How They Are Made to ray A'sh Prices
for "Smugsled" Cigars.

.sThere are many people i'll New
York" said Colonc! Brooks, OF
the internal revcnu service, TO
= reporter recently, "who labor
under the impression that they
are buying Struggled cigars, when
they are really getting the cheapest
domestic cigars made. There are some
very expert swindlcrs about town, and
l have no doubt that they have found
many victims. As a matter OF fact
there are very few foreign cigars
smucglcd into this country. There are
too many risks in the first place. and
then the penalty is nearly always en-
forced. The majority Of co%ntraband
cigars that are brought to the United
States come in the pockets of tourists,
and a man can't carry many cigars con-
cealed in his clothing.
ssYou would be surprised to know
how many people in New York are in
duced to buy alleged smnggled cigars,
and in most cases they are badly
swindlaJ.
can operator in alleged Struggled
cigars displays considerable genius in
his makeup for his part. He first
stains his hands and then puts on an
old suit of sailors clothing. He buys
a box of the cheapest cigars he can
find, takes them from the box and rolls
them in a newspaper. He then gets a
good fifteen or twenty-cent cigar,
which he puts in with the other cigars.
Thus equipped, with ga fresh lot of
imported cigars that have never paid
any duty" he starts out in search of a
customer. To his victim he whispers
the words Struggled, very cheap
and then pulling out the good cigar,
says try one OF course it smokes all
right and the victim is tempted to take
the whole lot at ten dollars a hundred
or u similar price, when they actually
cost less than two cents apiece.
"%Swindlers make a practice of hand
ling Il little better quality of cigars.
They buy domestic grades for eight
and ten cents apiece, and then retail
them among their customers for from
eighteen to twenty-five cents straight.
These men have their regular custom
ers and furnish them with nearly all
their cigars. They sell very fair cigars,
but their customers pay them three
times what they are worth because, as
they imagine, they are Struggled.
There are large retail dealers who
practice deception OF their customers.
One man, especially, has been reported
10 INC a hundred times as violating the
revenue laws, but there is not a dealer
II New York who is more careful in
complying with the law. He is too
sharp to break it, but l will venture to
say that there are a good many people
n New York who would be willing to
swear that he does. He keeps 4 certain
quantity Of cigars under his counter.
\ customer in, gives him a wink,
he dealer smiles softly, reaches his
land down under the counter, takes a
bundle of cigars out Of 4 regularly
stamped box, wraps it up in q news
paper, and passes it over to his customer,
admonishing him to be careful. The
customer then steals out of the store

something. There is no occasion for
him to feel badly. He has only paid
two prices for an ordinary domestic

QUARTER CRACK.
A Common Ailment Among Horses Il
How to Treat 1t.

"a common tAltnenG Among Horses AA1u
How to Treat 1t.
Quarter crack is a common ailment
among horses Kept much in sot stables
md standing on a dry floor. 1t is also
far more common in hot climates and
where the horses are driven much on
sandy, dry roads than in cool ones,
where the roads are wet and muddy.
There is first some fever in the feet
and legs, then the hoof becomes dry
and hard, the horn shrinking or con-
tracing, as it is called; then cracks
follow, either at the heel or toe. These
cracks usually extend completely
through the thickness of the hoof, ex-
posing the sensitive parts underneath,
and more or less inflammation follows.
The only cure for such cracks is to be
sought in a new growth of the hoof,
or. in other words, the crack must be
oblitcrated by a growth of horn from
above downward, as the horn. when
oncc broken or cracked. will not grow
together or unite at its edges. The
most common practice is to completely
clean out the crack with warm water
and remcve all loose shreds of horn,
and then cross-tire the hoof with a hot
iron: Only a very slight burn will be
needed at the coronet, merely sufficient
to excite Il new growth of horn at this
point. The edges Of the horn at both
sides of the crack its entire length NAV
be burned, but not deep enough to in
jure the sensitive parts underneath.
After firing fin the crack with tar or
pitch and bind the hoof with waxed
thread. Examine the hoof frequently
and see that the new growth of horn Of
the coronet starts solid and without a
crack. If it does not do this repeat the
firing at that point until the new
growth is satisfactory. Abar shoe will
be necessary when the crack extends to
the bottom of the hoof. 1t will take
months for the crack to grow out under
the most favorable conditions; conse-
quently considerable patience will be
required in treating the animal. The
hoofs may be oiled occasionally with
neatsfoot oil and kerosene, about two
parts OF the former to one of the latter.

That he was drawn by strong and ten

ward; but when the rioters withdrew at
the approach of day, leaving Browns

he was found with his head resting upon

From that time Thisbe never left him.
He was carried to his own house, where
