She had learned that he was down at his

she was determined to approach him and
demand an interview that very evening.
But, fearing that some harm might befall

mysterious merchant to give the woman
a hearing and dispel her strange fancy.

Mrs. Delaro. quietly, ''for it is better

AS Mr. Blodger entered the Office Of
limerick and Company, the surviving

his private office gloating over the item
of news in Buenos Ayres newspaper
stating that the body &f Mr.. Byron

Mr.. limerick was mot in'' to any body,

Mr.. Emerick's office and Mr.. Blodger

Mr. Emerick's annoyance was undis-

The world must learn at once that Mrs
Breezy had made mistake in his iden-

| One of the first whom Mrs. Breezy
spoke to after telling her son of her dis

good lady was very ready with her sym

poor woman's mind had at last been set

Mr.. Blodger gave, as he handed over his
card
You can not be too brief to suit me, F"
| was the almost rude response. Mr..
Dlodger seated himself opposite to Mr..
limerick and comm enced at once.
Some few months ago a woman who
was selling newspapers over in Brook
lynn thought she recognized you as her
long-lost husband
Mr. limerick was startled, but he
readily answered: eyes. but what has
that to do with your visit?'
Every thing" was the reply. This
woman has recently fallen heir to a
large amount of valuable property in
Amiens, France. and it has become nee
essary that she should go to that plaoe
at once in order to prevent her raven
GUS relations from robhing her of it,
Mr. limerick was very much interest
ed now, but he had been in peculiar po-
sitions too often to betray his interest to
his listener, so he asked with apparent
unconcern:
'Why does she not so to France at
once, then?''
There is only one reason, and that
is that she swears she will see you first, =
answered Mr.. Blodger.
''And you, presume, wish me to

Mr.. limerick.
<'Precisely," was che answer.

AS Fir. Blodger rode back up Town ne
could not help thinking that there was
something very unlike q merchant and
gentleman in Mr.. Emerick's manner.
Upon reaching his home, however, he
! sent note to Harlem at once inform
ing Mrs Breezy Of the result Of his call.
Then he went over to Mrs. Delaro's and
told her all about it. That night was
| the dirtiest and most disagreeable
night which New York had seen for
some time. 1t had rained necessarily
for nearly twelve hours and the streets
were running with water When Mrs.
Breezy alighted from the street-car she
had several blocks to walk before she
reached the Grantham Flats. and her
| mud bedraggled skirts gave her such a
forlorn appearance that the porter
thought she must have made mistake

primary polite manner.
She did not seat herself, but stood
and looked at him with pleading eyes,
as she said: s.Alphonse, do you not

his hand to his forehead in dramatic

While travelling In Norway recently.
the writer had an opportunity OF OBJ
tanning some practical information ia
connection with farming In that
country. and the following remarks
are intended to illustrate the typical
condition Of the peasantry. 10 certain
portions Of the south, principally In
the Christiania district, comparatively
large farming operations are carried
on. The contrast between Norwegian
farms and those he has left behind at
home, must strike the least observant
tourist. Yet, though he secs much
that seems TO him rude and antiquated.

sons awaiting the agriculturist in the
land OF tho vikings. So adverse are
the conditions under which the Norske
farmer struggles, tnat tho latter must

an average farmer, certain bankruptcy
would result where Norwegian can
make his bread and prosper.
The first impression OF any ordinary
Norwegian farm-steading is not very
favorable. A cluster OF houses, small
and aged, crowd around large dwell

somewhat diiapidsted. But this ap.
pearance is deceptive; for the walls

The walls nre usually stout and thor

construction. These planks are placed
edgewise on one another, crossed and
countersunk at the angles, and calked
in the seams with dry moss. A skin
OF thin wood is placed over the outside.
while the interior is lined smoothly
with boards. Inside there is IN air OF

bars the hay is laid, and dried in q
most effective manner. The corn, on
the other hand. is tied in small bundles
and impalei on poles placed at inter-

about nine feet high, and capable Of

With regard 10 the potato crop, the

The portion Of the farm given up 10

or inside fields; between that and the
field are tee ont-mdrkeH. The latter
are resolved. as rule, for the cattle
during winter; the hay being allowed
to grow In the summer while the cows
are at the sGfcrs on the mountains.
Manuring is not resorted to as regu-
lar part OF the routine; tho fields are
left from time to time for three or four
years, by rotation, In grass.
The farmers themselves are worthy
OF more than the brief description
which can be given here. A life Of
constant activity and mountain climb
ing has bred class OF men scarcely to
be excelled. Ihey are tail and strongly

frames are supplemented by good

to break into laugh. A uniform suit

hance their appearance. One does not
readily associate the Sunday clothes
OF NAVY with the Norwegian farmer.
Their former dress, which some OF the
old men retain, is more becoming. And
happily, we still find the true noun

secluded districts--a broad hat, short
