MONSIEUR, THE vIsCOUST D'EsTREvULE.
When Mile. Campignon made UP her
mind to be gracious. few persons could
be more agreeable, and Kate was de-
lighted to find that she came down to
breakfast next morning in one OF her
pleasantest moods, even going so far as
to make ocular allusion Is her dis
obedience in dancing with Mr.. Dunbar,
an offense which was setting Z little
heavily on the girls conscience. At
first Kate thought that mademoiselle,
having compromised herself, was not
inclined to be censorious. but she soon
discovered that she had an Interior mo-
tive for her sweetness.
You seem in excellent spirits after
the fatigues of last night, mademoi-
selle," Kate remarked.
Il am more than happy l confess, my
child. for l have received letter this

Ma fol. no. How you young girls

CHAPTER V.
THE HARVEST HOME

All the fat was in the fire. Made
moiselle fatty refused to permit Kate
Grahame to share the festivities
of the harvest home, pronouncing
that harmless rural fete vulgar orgy,
in which no young lady with proper
sentiments ought to dream of taking
part. All this in a volubility of words
only part of which were understood
she prOpounded TO Mrs. Barlow, who
forthwith carried the unpleasant tidings
to the jovial yeoman, who resented the
insinuation with the vigor of his sturdy
race. He had been altogether averse
to having French woman in the house,
and had only yielded out of regard for
Miss Balderstone, firmly believing that
his ponds would be depleted of frogs
and that strange, unholy dishes would
find their way into his larder.
"Whati'' he said striking his table
with his huge fist, so that the glasses
jingled an accompaniment to his wrath
Are we to be taught manners by
frog-eating French woman? Says Miss
Balderstone wouldn't approve-why,
Miss Balderstone has danced reel on
this very floor at harvest-home with
my head WAGNER and didn't think she
demeaned hersen- 1 tell zee I'll see her
mysen, and if l can't knock some sense
into her silly head, my names not John
Barlow. The lass shall come to the
homing if she has mind to, and there's
an end ont"
Whereupon there was a battle royal
fought under French and English col
ors, in which half the shots missed fire,
for Mademoiselle could not understand
a moietv of the farmers broad Surrey
dialect, and the lady's keenest bits of
satire were lost upon him The end of
it was that compromise was effected.
Miss Grahame was to be allowed to
participate in the games after supper
and take part in round dance or two,
with no other partner than the worthy
yoeman himself or the village school
master who was expected as a guest
If these conditions were observed.
mademoiselle under protest withdrew
her objections So harmony was re-
stored, and John Barlow, hopping his
face with his handkerchief, returned to
the kitchen with flying colors to an
nounce to his women-folk his partial
victory.
Old customs are dying out even in
England but under John Barlow's hos
pitable roof, they maintained their pris-
tine glory, as unabridged as when his
ancestor had burned the Yule log on
his broad hearth for the carousal of
registering troopof cavaliers in the days
of King Charles
Long tables were set in the great
kitchen, preparatory to the coming
feast. But the first ceremony was the
homing- proper, the bringing of the last
load of sweet-smelling hay from the
field, in the cleaning, Just before the
dew began to fall upon the grass
The last forl1ful was pitched upon the
mighty load, the ropes were tied from
wraithe TO wraithe to keep it in place,
and the women and children were
hoisted up TO the top of it, the former
exhibiting considerable coyness in the
process, and the heavy horses. with
harness declzed with ribbons. started at
a stately pace. John Barlow leading
the procession on his fat cob, and the
haymakers bringing up the rear and
merrily trolling a song with the re-
frain:

CHAPTER IV.-CoSTISUED-
Not so Dame Barlow; that genial
housewife no sooner heard the story of
his brave rescue of her favorite dog
than she set about her preparations for
his comfort. First, he must go to bed
for an hour while she dried his clothes
no, she wouldn't have him parading
around the house in any of Johns gar
ments, making himself ridiculous
he must take tankard of her famous
elderberry wine mulled and piping hot,
with nutmeg and a pinch of ginger in it
OF course the ladies occupied a suite
of apartments to themselves, and
though they took their meals at the
same hour as the farmers family, en-
loved them in state alone in the great
oak-paneled parlor. When the dinner
hour arrived, then, Kate was in consid-
cradle perplexity as to how Mr.. Dunbar
would fare, for she heard him chat
ting gayly to the Barlows in the family
sitting-room, and knew that he must be

Tons of pike Caught
From the Spawning Beds in Lake
Chnmplain by Canadians.

ChampIain by Canadians.
A despatch from Alburgh to the Burlng-
ton Free Press says Canadian fishermen
are shipping from 20 to % barrels of fish,
mostly pike, from this station every day,
and have been since the first of the month.
The fish are caught with seines in Mssis-
quot bay, near the line, where the water is
rather shallow. 1t is the spawning ground
for the pike in the northern part of the
lake, and fishermen say that the catching
of one fish at this season of the year
while they are spawning--is more destruc-
tive to the tribe and fishing interests gen
orally than thousand would he after
June /.
1t is extremely aggravatng to the Yer
mont fishermen, who are prohibited from
fishing even with hook and line, to stand
by and see the Canadians draw seines and
use every means to catch the fish. It
seems to the common people as though the
State Fish and Game league should bring
the matter very forcibly before the secre-
tary of state, with a view to bringing Ca
NADIA to such terms as would protect the
fish in Lake Champlain in Canadian terri
tory during the spawning season, or else
have the present stringent laws repealed
1t is certainly "A onc-sidcd affair, for,
while the United States is trying to stock
the lake with fish the Canadians haul them
out by the barrel with seines and ship
them to the Boston and New York markets
from this station. There is no law by
which this outrage can be stopped as long
as the fishermen pay the small license re-
quired by the Canadian government.

Josephine Smith, alias Leware, was ar
rested at Waterbury Saturday, charged
with infanticide About a month ago the
dead body of an infant was found in the
river at Baldwinville, and its maternity
was traced to the Smith woman, who had
up to that time been employed as a domes-
tic in that town. She suddenly left and
was traced to Waterbury where her father
lives. She consented to return to Baldwin
willie without requistion. The claim of
the Leware woman al the hearing was that
she received "A letter from Ella Goodwin

not what to do, and hastily placing some
old clothing around it, she threw it in the
river, saying nothing to anyone. Soon

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
An Immense Tin Plate Plant,
which is Triumph of the Tariff Law.

which is u Triumph of the Tariff Law.
\ Chicago despatch announces the
speedy opening of great tin plate factory
at Ellwood, Ind. 1t will employ 500 hands
and turn out $500 boxes of tin plate a
week, and a Cincinnati firm has contracted
to take the entire output. In an interview
Col. Conger, the president of the new con-
Germ, said: "The establishment of our fac
tory is triumph of the tariff law. Had
it not been for the duty of % cents a
pound on tin plate the Ellwood factory
would never have been started. The duty
gives capital confidence. When the indus
try is established and the tin plate factO-
ries begin to compete with each other,
then we wont need the tariff. The history
of glass making will be repeated in tin
plate making. In ten years the price of
glass has gone down $50 per cent, and the
industry is established on sound basis.
The price at which we have contracted to
sell our output is about what the English
manufacturers can lay it down for in this
country"
