Neglected Trifiea

The Prairie Farmer says trlfies are
those things which of themselves are of
little moment; therefore it is but natural
that men in the rush of business and
work should sometimes slight these COM
paratively small matters, in their anxiety
for the main issue. With many this is
very apt to become confirmed habit,
and they grow In the way of habitually
disregarding any little piece Of work
that, of Itself, is trifiing, and fail to

green color. The blades are smooth
long, and about one-tenth of an inch
broad, being the same width the full
length until within one inch of their tip

point. At the point the blade gathers its
sides together and turns up like the bow

the blue grass by this popularity, for no
other grass has it save the Kentucky blue
grass. and we are not apt to meet with
that in Texas. To make the test, catch

On the veranda which adioins the
porte cochere, young lady PAGES up and
down with evident impatience The sun,
slowly sinking into the west, sends its
rays shooting under the roof of the ver-
anda and lights up with golden CLEANS
the shining hair of Flora Ashgrove.
The house is the summer residence of
Robert Witherspoon, and therefore the
summer home of the lady
The roll of carriage wheels in the dis
tance attracts her attention, and she leans
over the railing
The carriage turning into sight, she
views it with great expectancy plainly
manifest on her beautiful face.
In moment more she is enabled to
ascertain its occupant, and as she does SO
a smile of relief wreathes itself about her
rosy lips.
The carriage draws up at the steps and
the occupant who alights is
Harry Fountain.
She greets him with suppressed joy.
She hurries him off in charge of
servant, bidding him to hasten to meet
ing with her on the veranda as soon as
he can remove the stains of travel.
Then she seats herself in one of the
willow chairs which invite repose. She
resting upon the arm of the chair, and
she relapses into deep study
The thoughts she indulges are evident
ly not pleasant, for she frowns and her
face is dark
Thus she sits when Fountain, newly
arrayed, rejoins her He says gayly:
"You perceive how obedient l am.
You command and | am here"
She looks at him gloomily and says she
is glad to see him.
81 should only know it," he retorts,
"by your saying so, ma BELLE"
She looks at him angrily as she re
plies:
you can be very gay under all the
circumstances Is the distance from New
York so great that you feel perfectly at
ease here?'
He looks down upon her somewhat
puzzled, for he is standing in front of
her. He draws chair closer to her and
sits down very deliberately.
Flora" he says slowly. but gazing at
her steadily, ''your moods are inexplica-
BILE. For the past three weeks l have
not understood you. When | saw you
last in New York you were nervousness
personifed, and you treated me at times
with disdain, and sometimes | imagined
positively with aversion. Then comes
your imperative summons to come hith
er, disregarding as nothing my reasons
for remaining in New York. Now, tell
me, what is the meaning of your strange
conduct"
"You have then observed my con-
duct?" she returns, with an expression of
contempt as she looks over the water
"Can you find no reason for it?"
Upon my word | cannot If you
have fault to find with me speak out,
and don't resort to innuendo."
"Innuendo," she repeats, with fine
scorn in her tones. Harry Fountain,
are you a hypocrite, or the coldest
blooded man who lives?"

and Parker, placing the papers in his
pocket. went off, after leaving ten dol
lar bill with the old man Preston.
The Shadow remained long enough at
his post to hear Preston say;
"Well. there's something crooked
about this, but don't know what. Any
how, know am the brother of the
man they call Charles Pierson. can't
figure it out, but can so and get a

AS the old man went out. the Shadow
stepped down lightly and passed into his
room
IL don't know that the matter has any
bearing on that which the Boss has in
hand. guess not But will tell him
anyhow.
When he did tell Tom, that astute
young gentleman said
mo, do not believe it has any imme-
date bearing on our matter, 1t has this
effect, however, and that is, that we
won't worry much about Parkers par
ticipation in the matter, for he is not
pursuing the line we are and has no con-
nection with it, What he is in for is
clear enough, He will make blunder
of it, for he don't know it all, and he'll
get in mess before he is aware of it.
I'll drop hint to the surrogate to go
slow on any application made on behalf
of James Preston. But, | say, old Par
ker may be a valuable man to follow up
on the line of Pierson. He evidently
knows more about him than we do. 1t
will be worth while to cultivate him
when we get the chance, but just now
there are other things to be done.
