he wished to visit hat store without

where hats were only one of a dozen

''Where is the hat department." in

THE SAD TALE OF A PROTEGe,

came TO see me frequently about her

first ''took me up" it was " matter Of
considerable rejoicing, not only to my
fellow artists, but to myself.
''Mrs. Blank is a woman of wealth and

Well, I've had few orders-not many.

"GOlD COSTS"
Pathetic Story of an Inscription Over a
Miners Grave.

The remote corners of the earth are
not without their pathetic incidents. A
long time ago Harry Blakeslee sought a
fortune of gold deep in the mountains
of California. Years rolled by and luck
came Harry,s way. He wrote a cheerful
letter to his wife, and ended with
dolly, come and see our gold"
But there was little girl to care for.
and she was sick, and Dolly couldn't
come. SO she sent her love and prom
ssed to come as soon as possible. After
that young Blakeslee walked many
miles every Sunday to watch the eastern
train and learn of the arrivals during
the week. The eastern train did not
look different from any other Ii might
have looked little more lonely, per-
hapS--anyhow, a sort of lump came in
his throat when the train arrived and
he saw no familiar faces. Then he tried
to forget all and cheerfully sought his
cot among the mountains. Maybe there
would come a train from the east some
day that did not look lonely: then there
would be no lump in his throat. but a
kiss on his Inns. sweet and tender.
lie watched and looked and hoped.
but hoped and longed and watched in
vain. A letter he had written to Dolly
came back unclaimed" But still his
visits TO the train We're unceasing They
became habit to him--a part OF his
life. Summer suns frightened the val
leyS, and winters snow made the noun
tains glitter. Poor Blakeslee made his
weekly trips just the same-going with
lingering hope, returning heartsick.
One bitter cold Monday the rough
miners buried his frozen body and
marked his resting place with slab.
Many summers afterwards a blossom
of womanhood was blown in the camp
by mere chance. Her name was Ger,
trude Blakeslee. The miners INQUIRED

standing and read the simple inscrip-

An Extinct Indian Race.

The 8othick Indians of Ncwfound-
land. at one time the aboriginal inhab-
itants Of the island. can now ONLY be
counted by one or two skeletons and a
few skulls, so completely have they
been swept away. The French en-
ployed the Mic Mac Indians of Nova
Scotia to fight against and exterminate
them. According to an account in the
late issue of the transactions of the
Canadian institute they were peace
able and quiet race, given to hunting
and fishing. They used canoes made
of birch rind and skins of deer. like the
EsquimauX cayak. They had no pot
terry and used utensils of birch rind
sewed together but they employed soap
stone dishes as lamps, their form being
similar to those among the Esquimauy
at the present day. They carved deer
and walrus horns and bones of the seal
into ornaments which they wore on
their dresses and ornamented their
heads with combs. The carvings are in
triangular patterns and out of the large
collections in the museum at St Johns
there are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone implements
were more rudely constructed than
those of the western Indians.-N. Y.

HOW ALMONDS GROW.
The Expense of Harvesting and Husking
Them Is Considered.

First to bloom in the spring. the
almond is last to mature in the fall.
The whole spring and summer long it
hangs there, a green peach for all the
world. and after the first few weeks
never increasing in size or changing in
appearance The seam is deeper than
in most peaches. but not decper than in
the ripe apricot. Late in August this
seam viii be seen TO have opened in a
few OF the earliest. The growers anx-
lety now reaches its climax VIII his
almonds open and remain open until
harvested. or will the drupe remain
closed, or only partially open and then
close tight again? The whole profit of
the crop may depend on this question.
1t may cost half they are worth to pick
and husk them. just that thing hao-
pened this year to my nearest neirhbor.
and to several neighbors: while the nuts
on this ranch opened better and huslxed
easier than ever before in the whole
course of its thirty years of almond
growing. The result was. that our pick
ers earned dollar and a half a dav
picking at half the cost per po,nd in
Cured by our neighbors, whose men
earned dollar and quarter a day.
The nuts are knocked off the trees
with long poles. Where they have
opened nicely they are allowed TO dron
on the bare ground, and are husked as
they are picked up. The picker's de-
light, if he is working by the bushel or
box, is to see the gronnd covered with
nuts that the stroke of the pole and the
impact against the clods have com
pletely husked. so that he has nothing
to do but throw them into his basket
lie rs lucky indeed if half of them come
out that way. Those that do not are

she'll be all right in the morning" Eli
bent and patted the brown head of the
woman kneeling upon the other side OF
the crib. Then, recollecting himself, he
said as he stood up again with his hand,
raised:
Il forgot, Harley; the bady's been
sick, is sick now, and the little woman
is in trouble. Itll worry her TO stay
here alone with little Allie"

The irons were placed upon the mans
wrists, and he was led away from all
that he held dear in this life Led
away to prison, taken to a. place that
was almost like death to this man, who,
though lawbreaber, left his heart in
the little cabin of the mountain side.
All, how long the DAYS seemed to
him, and how long the silent hours of
the night dragged on.
Ten days passed and Eli Bargy had
heard no word from his sick baby and
distressed wife. How wildly his home
came up before him as he tossed upon
his prison bed How cruelty he had
wronged his good little wife by placing
her in such trying situation. All. if
he had only stuck to what was lawful;
but it was too late now-too late.
In two days time he would be tried.
Two days only! What might they not
bring forth?

The moonshiner came forward and
reached out his hands: but, oh, there
was such sorrow in the depths of his
eyes, such unspeakable misery in the
tones of his voice, that the officer said,
as he concealed his weapons:

men and give you five minutes alone

Thank you. Harley; you need not

Harley closed the door as he went
out; he told his men the situation. A
couple of them said that it was foolish
lin him to trust moonshiner; but the
rest agreed that their leader had done
right. They had wives and children at
home.
