HER ADVENTURE.
Despite the Gossips He Was
Worthy of His Bride.

Perhaps it was because Edward Slo-
that he dislilxed Jack Mourdant so
much.
On the morning after Mrs. Aspinwall
Jones dance Slocomb was leisurely
dressing in his room at the hotel.
There was knock ut his door and a
telegram was handed in.
Come at once" he read. He glanced
at the ignature--simply "Grace."
Slocomb read the telegram again and
ran his fingers through his hair in per-
plexity.
''Who the dickens is Grace" he NUT
tered.
Then he looked at the telegram
again. There was mistake. Slocomb
rushed out into the hall. The messen-
ger boy was just going downstairs He
shouted To the boy, but he continued
on his way. Slocomb threw "a slipper
he held in his hand and struck the boy
between the shoulder blades.
Cant you hear?" he said, angrily.
"Come back. This telegram is not for
me; IL is for Mr.. Mourdant His room
is Is, mine is 49,
The boy took the telegram off and
Slocomb went on dressing. When he
found himself trying to shave himself
with a clasp knife instead of razor,
he looked sintently into the glass and
crietE
WHATS up? Whats the man going
IL can help it,"
After this very emphatic speech Slo-
comb went down To breakfast.
His pcrplexity and anger were not
ont OF place, however. Ii You ever
happened into conservatory and
found man kissing the girl you love
You know how Slocomb felt.
This Is exactly what took place Mt
the dance the night before. Slocomb
was very much surprised at Carrie. He
thought she knew better than that
She danced with Mourdant alto
gether too much, ard she ran off with
him into the conservatory altogether
too many times. IL looked odd, indeed.
People noticed IL, and commented on
il without mercy.
IF they are engaged, all right" said
they "Otherwise" and shoulders
were shrugged and eyebrows elevated.
Jack Mourdant was social success
at Lenox; and that for man means a
good deal. No one cared To know
where he came from; no one cared Ia
know about his family. He was hand
some in his dark Spanish way, good
dancer-dapcing men are SO very
scarce land he always said the right
thing In the right place.
But Slocomb was not at all satisfied
with him. lie could not take him as
the rest of the people did. A man who
danced with his cousin, Carrie Tracy,
must he something more than four
weeks wonder.
Carrie was Slocomb's cousin in n dis
tant sort of way, and half engage
ment existed between them. Slocomb
had not spoken, however. lie was
Carries constant companion, and, with
Mrs. Tracy as chaperone, they were
out great deal together.
II was the mothers place 10 put
stop 10 this Mourdant business, but she
was quite as much fascinated with the
man as her charming daughter. There
fore IL fell on Slocomb's shoulders To
see that nothing came Of the rapidly
growing intimacy. lie had done his
hest, brit he came into the conservatory
just 100 late.

ings are made expressly for this
purpose, but are too expensive
and wooden grating may be made
at much less the expense and
will serve the same end. The Stats
should be of hard wood ~ inches wide
and the same space between them. The
grating may be fastened on hinges and
raised to take out the manure. An
other bad thing in many stables is the
ordinary stationary stanchion by which
the cows are fastened by their necks.
1t is very hard on the cattle in lying
down, as it always holds their heads
and necks in one position. They should
be discarded for the tie or a swing
