 But thc finding shall bring you to grief; The dead lock the portals behind them,

HEPSEE'S VALENTINE.
MANnA L. CROt kER.

II wish to be alone tonight with only the blaze for company"
 Hepsie Seymour sighed and sat down near the window of her apart ment to watch the sunset redden the western snow-clad hills before it dropped into the crisp February night.
 Jane turned away from the hearth after replenishing the fire, and tip toed out of the room and down the softl y-carpeted stairs. cogitating:
 II wonder what her sorrow may be. she murmured. running her hand thoughtfully along the heavy walnut balustrade. ''It must be a love trouble, for every time St. Val entine's Day comes around she grows paler and keeps her room, wanting to be alone. ''
 And the observing Jane was cor rect in her conclusion.
 Truly the blaze was all the com pany Miss Seymour cared for to- night of all nights, for out of the cleaning west seemed to come a tenderly uttered "Good-bye, Hep sic; l can never forget.
 And tonight, as the dusk of Val eutine eve deepened around her, Hepsie Seymour sobbed, up against the window-pane: "I think he still remembers. l have remembered till my heart is cankered through with bitterness all it's own.
 The stars were coming out now, one by one. and great shadows trailed through the shrubhery and crept around The Oaks"
 A pained face seemed to rise out of the night and search her soul with its dark, yet kindly eyes, as once. or a Valentine Eve, six years ago, She turned to the hearth with sigh once more. "iIow suffer V she moaned, rocking to and fro, with the blaze foI company.

 This was why, then, that in hel elegantly appointed rooms, witt arms folded over her bosom, she rocked wearily to and fro, reoonnt- ing the brilliant and saddeGt of life's memories.
 Up from the valley came chime of silvery, musical notes. She paused. "Wedding bells" she mur mured impatiently, going back te the window and throwing open th' sash to listen.

An Easy and Convenient Way OF Building
Them ON Farms
A writer in contemporary gives
the following as his experience on
kitchen sewerage. He says: This is a
matter of importance to be cared for
about every house, but what is con-
vcnient at one house will not answer
in every place. II l tell what do
with waste water it may help some one
else similarly situated. The ground
around the back side Of my house de-
scends toward a meadow. My milk
room and kitchen and water closet are
on the second floor and are supplied
with running water from a mountain
spring. The water is kept running.
Traps are carefully arranged below
the sinks and water-closet to prevent
a return OF gases. The three outlets
discharge into one four-inch pipe. into
which a spare conductor from the caves
also run. This makes good ventilator
for the large pipe. and also helps to
keep the pipe clear. The large pipe
is conducted down the hill conven-
lent distance and discharges into a
long box, made Of plank (single width)
and partially set into the ground. The
box is ten or twelve feet long and has
one partition and loose cover over
all. The sewer pipe discharges con-
tinually into one end of this box. and
a sediment forms; the water overlows

ment is deposited and the overflow

Killing Trees That Sprout.

The best way to get rid of willows
or other trees liable to sprout from the
stump is to girdle them and let then
stand until they cease to produce
leaves. BY this plan all trouble with
sprouts will be avoided. The silver
maple frequently sends up sprouts
which occupy the ground to the ex.
clusion ofevery thing else in the vicin
ity Of the tree. II the tree is girdled,
aud all the sprouts ara cut close &c

trouble with them afterward. SOms

The Age Of Electricity.

The century which is rapidly draw
ing to close is appropriately called
the age Of steam; that which will soon
BE- ushered in will be the age Of cleo
tricity. In all probability people are
now living who will ride from Savan-
nah to New York between the rising
and setting OF the sun. Instead OF
trains Of many cars there probably
will be two or three cars to the
train. and many trains The
heavy "mOguls" that now are the
pride OF the railroad companies will
no longer pound the life out Of the
rails, so to speak, or shake bridges
and trestles to pieces. Every second
or third car. possibly every one. will
carry . motor. taking its power from
stationary dynamos placed ut intervals
along the track. The loads will be
lighter. and. therefore, the grades
may be made heavier. The tracks OF
other roads and the public and private
roadways will be crossed either BY
tunnels or bridges. and the danger at
grade crossings will Be obviated; and
an unbroken line of fencing will other
wisc protect the trains. The light
ming method of travel will b both
safer and quicker than the present
one.-Savannah News
