Mrs. Stanley realized that Il would be some.
what inconsistent with her own professions To
oppose a reconciliation between husband and
wife, and as soon as she could recover from
her surprise at the unexpected turn the affair
was taking, she wished the old woman all posi-
bic success and happiness In the step she had
resolved to take. Indeed, before she had left
the cabin she had herself written at her dictn-
ton the letter the old wife afterward sent to the
husband from whom she had been estranged
for thirty years or more.
A few days afteward there was an important
arrival at Delphi's cabin. The letter had brought
the old husband back to the feet Of his early
love.
A week later the departure took place, A
capacious plantation wagon was piled high with
bedding, boxes and sundry household belong
ings, Laid upon foundation Of chicken coops, out
OF which curious feathered heads gazed in slter-
nate-eyed wonder at the unusual proceeding.
On the summit Of the edi6ce sat the old couple
In veritable rose garden Of little bobbing pink
sun bonnets.
They were going to the old mans homo.
Delphi had made her formal adieux at the
mouse and wept her parting tears, but through
all the sun Of . new happiness was shining.
A the wagon moved out the gate the ladies
waved goodbye from the gallery Of the great
house and the old man, perceiving them, lifted
bis bat, bowinR his body in Q manner that was
distinctly courtly.

COUNTY OFFICIALS.
RAINMAKING IN, SOUTH DAKoTI

The farmers in South Dakota held
mass meeting lately at which all the
counties in the Black Hills district were
represented. The meeting was called
to make arrangements with maker
Melburne for the supply of specified
amount of artificial rain. 1t is said to
have been the largest gathering ever
held in that part of the state Great en-
thusiasm was manifested, whether
evolved from their necessities or based
upon actual tests we are not told, but
there was sufficient faith to secure
pledges of $4,000 from single county
Little interest was manifested in an
irrigation convention that was held soon
after. The simpler, or at least cheaper
scheme of the rainmakers caught the
farmers preferences, and they give no.
tice to those who laugh at their credulity
that the laugh will be on the other side
before the ides of June. So mote it be.

per cent. higher than they are in Wex-
ford, and yet these same Irishmen come

The Eugene Guard says: 1.-The passage
of the Mckinley tariff bill is followed by
the lowest price of cotton ever know, be-
ing below the cost of production, and in
consequence, business is in very ne-
pressed condition in the cotton states"
The passage of the Mckinley tariff bill
is followed by the lowest price of sugar
and the lowest price of nearly every
thing on the Mckinley tariff schedule
ever known. In consequence the busi-
mess of the country was never in so
prosperous a condition. We offer the
Guard excerpt as sample of what some
free trade papers knows about the
Mckinley tariff. 1t would spoil it to
remind the Guard that cotton is on the
free list:

We have it from perfectly reliable
source that only a few days ago an agent
of the Union Pacific visited Goldendale
to work that town in the interest of his
company by offering inducements to the
merchants to ship their goods to Grants
instead of to Rockland by the new nav
igation company. Three of the mer-
chants, whose names we have not been
able to learn, entered into the arrange
ment. OF course this means the cutting
of rates below the regular schedule,
which is direct violation of the inter
state commence law. Our informant
says arrangements were made with the
Goldendale papers to say nothing about
the visit of the agent. OF course they
may not have known his business and,
however that may be, nothing is said !;
but it is beyond reasonable doubt that
the professed friends of the new boats
will have ample opportunity, during the
coming summer, to prove the reality of
their profession by their works. Every
thing indicates that the Union Pacific
will make terrific fight to drive the
new boats off the river.

pear doubly so; so also does the fashion OF
wearing little finger ring. Rings on any
but the third finger aggravate the breadth
and give roturier effect in spite Of the ex-
ertions of the manicure.
In the choice of rings and their disposi'
tion on the hand much art may be brought
to bear. On fat hand pearls look well; on
bony hand they look atrocious-at least
the hands do. 1t may be difficult to per-
suade our fair friends that bony hand is
best left absolutely alone and unadorned,
that precious stones but add to its hard and
horny look.
Red hands should shun contiguity with
pearls, turquoises, or even diamonds Fine
old signet rings, black pearls, sapphires,
onyx, antique inglii and Iapis lazuli, or
pigeon blood rubies, are the most suitable
ornaments, if decorations be hungered for.
Uniformed finger nails, whatever the teach
ing of the manicure, should never be highly
polished. Almond-shaped tips, lustrous a.
gems, are fascinating to degree, but an un-
natural gloss is apt to make square, un-
shapely nails terribly prominent Even
when taper fingers terminate in lengthy
nails whose shape is irreproachable, If there
be opacity beyond the flesh they have no at
fractions, and careful cutting and trimming
should be resorted to.

will be necessary TO give to this saucy waist
all the graceful folds and pleats which ap-
pear in the illustration.
There is very short step between pretty
blouse and an ugly one The idea which
should animate woman who contem plates
blouse is piquancy. To obtain this there
should be liveliness of fancy in choice of
material, color and style OF makeup. Fine
wool stuffs trimmed with velvet, combina-
tions of plain and striped material, or pale
gray material with white vest and dark
satin-colored collar and cuffs are three
variations to be commended. China silk
trimmed with velvet in contrasting eolors
such as fawn with olive, old rose with deep
garnet, white with a darker tone, are de-
cidedly in favor
blouse is so cheap and effective and
may be SO easily made by any woman
skilled with her needle that there is always
a dread in some ladies' minds that it NAV
become too common. Hence they avoid
1t. But there is a way out of this difficulty,
and that is to make use OF expensive ma
terial and trim with silk guipure or en-
broidery. A handsome shocked blouse is
one of the prettiest things in the world for
a tall, 1.-the, graceful girl. FLoRETTE.

must have been mad-I found myself in
the rooms of an old college friend who had
taken charge of me, and was determined not
to lose sight of me until was myself again.
When went out he was by my side, watch
ing me as if 1 were a child, guarding me
from temptation, until at last recovered
| myself. When thought of what 1 lost in
losing you, wished myself dead; but one
day ray of hope came to me, and re-
solved to renounce gambling forever Then
when 1 had kept my determination for 12
months, I intended to come here and say to
you have reformed, for your sake have
overcome the curse which darkened my life
and threatened to plunge me into misery

have come before the time has quite passed,

Now am here, let me say you have never
been absent from my mind, night or day,
that my heart is yours to do with as you
please"
He took the hand which was nearest him
and raised it to his lips. How fervently she
loved him she never fully realized until
now, that he sat beside her after an absence
that seemed an eternity; until once more
his soft and winning v,ice fell like charm
on her ears. She suddenly realized the
emptiness and loneliness of her life, and
knew that his presence alone could fill 1t
with joy-could transform her world 10
paradise. But at the same time. the men,
ory of her fathers words came back to her,
bidding her beware, warning her against
building for herself pleasure house whose
foundations were laid in sand. He had OBJ
iected to George Gersrd because he was a
gambler; but temptation had been con-
quered; vice had been overcome, and
her father, if living, she told herself,

Little Coats for Children.

The most serTiceable little coats for chill.
dren of years and upward, are of fine
broadcloth, with mink-tail trimmings or
narrow borders of some close fur. These
coats are generally made in simple sack
fashion, with double or triple cape edged
with fur. Such coat as this Is suitable
for child up to years of age.
For the younger children there are a
great MANY scarlet coats, with trimmings of
black Persian lamb or the Chinese man.
DARN fur. Girls over IL years old wear
either a coat or ulster. The new coats for
girls in their teens differ little from those
made for their grownup sisters They are
usually what is known as three-quarter
length, all fitted to the figure at the back,
and are double-breasted in front. These
coats are shown in fine Kersey cloth, fast
ened by white pearl buttons, and in the less
expensive servicea5le cheviots of blue or
brown, fastened by buttons of smoked
pearl.
There are few coats with full plated
backs in Watteau effects. These are held
in side plaits, turning to the center of the
back, where they form q hollow box-plait.
Such coat as this has an especially grace
tul effect on a tall, slender girl.

Laura Yelverton sat in the sheltered al
cove of a bow window-a letter in her
hands, her large, melancholy hazel eyes
gazing out on the wide, grassy lawn sloping
TO the river, studied with trees OF centuries
growth, and protected by high, red-brick
walls, against which cherries, plums and
spricots ripened in the sun. She had re-
ceived the letter that morning, and had
read it over again and again until she had
committed to memory every phrase and
word in which Captain Hungate declared he
loved her with al the fullness Of his heart
and strength of his manhood-prayed for a
return of his affection, besought her to be-
come his wife
So forcible were his words, so natural
their expression, that she fanced she could
hear them spoken bv that clear ringing
voice that had ever an undertone of ten
derness when it addressed her She could
picture him standing before her, his figure
tall and straight, his weIl-cut face scorched
by tropical suns, his close-cropped hair al
ready iron gray, his straight heavy brows
shading the grayest and darkest of blue
ewes 1t was not without keen sense of
pain she thought of answering his letter,
assuring him she could never be his wife.
For although she respected and admired
him, placed implicit faith in his honor, ap-
preciated his worth, il was impossible for
her to give him the love which had gone
out Of her keeping long before.
In her heart of hearts she knew that
George Gerard, the man who had gained
her affections, was in all ways inferior to
