and her husband, who were still occupying
the servants quarters, - I had rightly
heard. 1t WAS In accordance with Sir Ru.
pert's wishes that this faithful couple stil
kept their roomsi in the west wing, and 90
casionally showed curious visitors over the
main building. In the absence Of visitants
the Hall was kept locked. and the supersti-
tious old pair eve intruded on its dismal
silence alone.
These two old servants, ] soon found,
were very much devoted to the memory Of
their . mistress and the loug-l0st
daughter. When / heard their lamenta-
lions Tor the young Mistress" and beheld
their tears, / was tempted to disclose her
whereabouts to the sorrowing twain, but
on reflection I remembered she would never
return ~ they desired, nor hold converse
with any one within the environs Of her
birth place, and rs she was virtually dead
to them I might ~ well hold my peace.
But when the conversation turned on Sir
Rupert, they had but little to offer in his be-
half; although their tones were respectful
enough, l could see they had not forgiven
him for the merciless doings of an unnatural
father.
"You must show me the hall and tell me
b story" I said. as we sat around the
cheerful wood fire kindled in the great
chimney that filled up nearly one whole end
Of the apartment This room was 80 cheer
full and pleasant in the glamour Of the FIRE

c~oziness, that I could not clearly couaect its

I said - much to my entertainer.
'Ohl indade, An it's your own swate self

Peggy turned her chair around quickly
and faced me with this explanatory burst
Of Hibernian elOcution because l had vent
ured, / presume, to throw a shadow Of doubt
on the superstitious stories rife about
Heatherlelgh.

This settled it, and We soon passed from
the deep shadows Of the central hall out
through an open court and back once more
into the coy servants quarters. Here we
found old Ancil Garrison sitting BY the fire
with mug Of beer for company, and wait
ing for the prospective ''tay" Peggy had in
view.
The next day Clarkson took . largo brass
key from . ring in the wall, and unlocking
the Hateful drswing-room door, bade me
enter.
It was . spacious apartment, elegantly
furnished. The high-backed, carved chairs
and deep sofas stood in formal stiffness ON
either side the room, blending their dark
outlines with the somber shade Of the
stained oak wainscoting. The two deep
windows heavily curtained with rich dam
ask hangings depending from their ancient
looking rings opened out on . veranda,
whose ornamental row Of carved pillars put
me in mind of knights in armor.
At the opposite end OF the apartment wa
. fire place, whose massive mantel wa dec
Grated with curious vases and ancient
relics, Of which Peggy could not give the his
tory.
In their inches, fanking the fireplace
were two pieces Of exquisite staruary,
standing Nj in ghostly relief in the shad-
ows.
The shining surface Of the polished floor
was covered here and there with costly
rugs Of 'Tarkish desoign," - Peggy said.
But after al there was IN unloading, un-
compromising air about the drawing-room
that prompted me to be brief in my visit

SALT FOR BUTTER.

HAsts which Are Not Undsrstood -
Many Farm DaiFymsn.
Salt does not preserve butter. Butter
preserves itself, and the salt gives IL
. flavor. Salt has q tendency to al
rest the fermentation or decay of the
buttermilk. but not the butter. It Is
not necessary that you should work
this salt through your butter. or work
the butter until you grind it to death
to get the salt through it. II the but.
termilk is out Of the butter that is all
you want, and you then distribute the
salt through evenly 20 that one portion
will not be nor salty than another.
There are many things which affect
the character Of butter. and skillful
manipulation is necessary to have II

ming the cream from the milk at the
proper time, or it is not properly ripened
and mixed. and hence We do not get all
the butter out of it. II allowed to stand
too long there isl good deal of the but

Another reason is the over-working Of
the butter. which grinds the grain out
Of it Another reason is. the tubs for
packing n often improperly prepared
for the keeping and preservation of the
butter. and to exclude the air absolute
ly from it. 1t is very important that
the tub should be thoroughly soaked
and scalded with hot brine. q cloth
should be put at the bottom. and then
a thin layer Of salt, then the butter
pressed down firmly. 80 there car be
no opportunity for the air to get in.
Cover the butter with . cloth. put some
salt or brine on top. and cover air
tight Then set the tub in q place
where the temperature is cool and dry,
and where it al not get musty or
moldy OF absorb taintA You can keep
butter an almost indefinite length Of
time if treated in this way. We should

GIN cOD WE U

How This Motto Came to Be stamped o
United states Coins.
The motto, I'm God We Trust" which d
now stamped on all gold and silver coins Of
United States money, was suggested BY An
honest God-fearing old farmer Of the State
Of Maryland. This conscientious Christian
thought that our National coinage should
indicate the Christian character Of cur Ma
ton, and by introducing . motto upon our
coins expressed . National reliance on Dr.
vine support in our governmental affairs.
In 1881, when Salmon p. Chase was Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, he wrote him and
suggested that, as we claimed to be .
Christian people, we should make suitable
recognition Of that fact on our coinage.
The letter was referred to the Director Of
the Mint, James Pollock, q Puritanic Chris
tian, Of Pennsylvania In Mr.. Pol
locks report for 1862 he discussed the
question of . recognition Of the sovereignty
Of God and our trust in Him on Dur coins.
The proposition TO introduce q motto upon
our coins was favorably considered BY Mr..
Chase, and in the report he SAID he did not
doubt, but believed that it would me- ct
with IN approval BY an intelligent public
sentiment. But Congress gave no atten-
ton to b suggestion, and in his next an

IN THE DAkOTAs.
Busy ut Sioux Falls and Resting at
Bismarck,

Sioux FALLS, OAK, July 10.-At to.
days session of the constitutional con.
vention the question under considera.
tion was the power of the convention to
change the constitution of 1895. IL came
up on "a motion to refer the different
articles of said document to appropriate
committees. President Edgerton argued
that such reference implied the claim OF
the conventions power TO change any
and every article, whereas congress had
limited the change to certain provisions.
IN OPPOSITION
to this view, delegates Jolly, Caldwell
and others maintained that what was
referred to merely purported to be a
part of the constitution of 1885, and the
convention could officially know pro.
visions of said document only upon a
report of the committee or by eXamina.
ton thereof as n body. This matter will
garded as specially important, as certain
changes might jeopardizo the president $
proclamation of admission and cause il
to be imperative.
BISMARCK, Oak, July 10.-This has
been day of rest for the constitutional
convention. An adjournment was taken
from Monday till Thursday to allow
President Fancher time TO construct
standing committees. The committees
strong feeling that the committees will
favor no special interests, but that all
will be treated fairly. The one legisla-
tive body idea still occupies considera-
BILE space in the thoughts ofthe delegates
and will be very thoroughly considered.

TO have a pretty sure thing to be elected

will fight their hardest for it, but they
