In other words, without beating about

''O-o-oh ~ exclaimed Flora, as If flirting
and she were unknown 10 each other.
Flora is not the adept in the ART you
are Aiaisie. Hers is open, and done with
purpose, =" said Roy.
Maisie laughed.

"Be good girl, - responded her broth

''He's not worth much if he can't guard

her head in the air II think I shall give
HIM few lessons. He will thank me
later on.

''You know you are really too bewitching
to all the men. No one else has a chance,

Roy squeezed F'loras hand in reply. He
had noticed a shadow Of regret pass over
his sisters face perhaps at the recollec-
tion that the one whom she had herself
loved out of all her admirers was lying
cold and still in his grave.
"I'I Just see if Bruce has arrived, " said
Roy Il shall have time before l START

Masie after him.

CHAPTER XIV.

Roy GuntOn was in brown study. Not
altogether an unpleasant one if his face
was to be believed, and that it was any
physiognomist would have declared
Noble, intellectual, good; it was a face
that the most carping or suspicious would
rely on. He had improved much for the
better mentally since the conversation he
and Maisie had mutually had concerning
the sad tragedy which had deprived her
of her lover. Not because so much had
been done; but rather because the hope
Of effecting it now animated his brow.
The faint chance that Charlie might not
be guilty had merged into the holder be-
lief that he was not.
Still Charlie had not condescended TO
admit as much. He took very high and
mighty tone when he responded to the
summons home; politely declined to be
catechised; sneered at Horace BERTHE for
being soft fool and recommended Roy
to tip the wink to the fugitive that he
was the guilty party. At the same time
he rCpudiated vehemently all opposition
to his own wedding, and dared any to at
tempt Intervention. Letwho burst throw
single stone against his reputa-
ton, he would challenge accusation.
Consequently his marriage with Hida
Crawford had taken place with great

MAHARAJAH AT THE FAIR.
A Snake Charmer Says He Is of Low
Social Caste.
From the chicago Inter.ocean.


Oh, DEAR OH dearl After all our bow
ing and scraping, and running after and
dining the Indian prince, the Maharaiah
of X apurthala, or whatever he is, we are
now told that he is of low caste, and
money and an abundance of wives cut no
figure in India. My friend, the finger
nail artist, of whom told you last week,
who stands in front of the East India
hazar, not far from the Ferris wheel, and
decorates cards while you wait, told me
yesterday that it was not modest for him
to say so, but he himself was of the caste
higher than the maharajah, and he would
receive a salaam from him if the prince
came by And he said there were several
here from India who were of the very first
caste. He mentioned one of these mOguls
as holding forth just now, for the amuse-
ment of the worlds fair sightseers in the
Street in Cairo " He is charming snakes.
1t may not sound in this country as cri-
terion or as q passport to the creme de la
creme of society, but in India, finances or
conditions, or surroundings, or snakes
would not interfere And even in this
country, if this great maharaiah should
chance to visit this sideshow in the
street in Cairo, he would be obliged to
bow to the earth before his superior-the
man of the first caste who is charming
snakes with an admittance fee of 25 cents
apiece.

a Barrel of Whisky in Hogshead of
Molasses.
From the Daily Kennebec Journal.

They have sharp liquor searchers in
Androscoggin county, and the wits of
rum smugglers are sharpened by contact
with them. The cutest scheme vet
worked to hoodwink the officers was dis
covered the other day The officers, see
ing hogshead of molasses with a sus-
picious address, seized it. Inside they
discovered a whisky barrel The bar
rel contained ninety five gallons of liquor
Encircling it was strong framework,
upon which the outer barrel or hogshead
was built. Two hoops, nearly two inches
thick and about three inches wide, encir-
cled the barrel, and into this ran big
screws from the hoops and slaves of the
outer hogshead. A similar arrangement
was used for the heads, and the space
thus made between the inner and outer
barrel was filled with molasses. The
bunghole of the inner barrel was oppo-
site the bunghole of the outer barrel. 50
that by this arrangement the stuff could
he pumped out without breaking the
hogshead.

Pottstown, Aug. IA sensation was
caused late last night when Joseph Hotter,

To keep sheep healthy they require
a frequent change Of food.
Care be should taken TO clean out the
managers of fced-racks frequently.
Look over the flock and sell the
sheep that show the least improve
ment.
Inferior sheep are often drug
when good sheep sell readily at good
prices.
Never allow sheep to be frightened
or run by dog, or in any way be
disturbed.
Ifany of the ewes have poor teeth,
it will pay to feed them ground feed.
A sheep kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one
poorly kept.
In commencing to feed grain TO
sheep, feed small quantity at first
and gradually increase.
The farmer that is too careless to
give sheep good care will do better
with some other class of stock.
The days are for feeding and the
nights are for refuse, and with no
stock is this more the case than with
sheep.
Sheep of different ages and condi-
tions should be sorted into. different
lots and the weaker ones have a little
better feed.
With comfortable surroundings,
which implies dry, warm shelter and
regular feeding, small amount of
grain can, be made to count.

the sheepshods, as it lessons the risks
of slamming on them or of their in

Northern china uas MANN Tairs.

Northern China is the country of
fairs. In any given district there is
a constant succession of large gath
erings at which it is not uncommon
for as many as 10000 persons to be
congregated. The fairs are some
times called the poor mans market"
for the display of secondhand cloth
ing which tho owners wish to dis
pose of. At Techou and at another
point on the Grand canal there are
annual fairs held from the beginning
of the twelfth month to the fifteenth
day of the same month, at which
there is great display Of foreign
goods, especially woolens, sold at
cheaper rates than at other times.
This is called the fair of the grain
fleet, and is one of the products Of
the vicious system of grain taxes.
About 400 vessels are annually en-
ployed for transporting the Shan
tung grain tax to Tungchow, near
Peking, and upon their return these
vessels bring large quantities of
goods from Tientsin, which are sold
at the fairs. While some Of the fairs
are held at times rigidly fixed and
never varied, most of them are
wholly uncertain as to time. North

What toTeach Girls.

A girls education is not complete
when she has been taught the branch
es commonly comprised in the school
course. There are many things
which the schools omit, but which the

excel as women. Among them an
exchange names the following:

clothes.

sow on buttons.

Teach them not to marry man for
his money.

Teach them to foot up store-bills

Women in the Government Service.


At present women are gradually
disappearing from the departments,
and within q few years there will be
comparatively few OF them in the
employment of the government al
Washington, Notwithstanding tie
fact that twice as many women c.
men apply for places. This result
will be brought about inevitably by
causes which are now in operation.
All persons entering the classified
service must come through the com
petitive examinations held under the
civil service law. When there is O
vacancy the civil service commission
ers send in three names, from which
one is selected by the appointing of
fetal. In five cases out of six, sup
posing that the three names include
both sexes, a man will be chosen in
preference to woman,
This seems very unjust, but the
reason for it is evident enough. A
chief of bureau prefers men as sub
ordinates because he feels no re
straint in their presence. He can
smoke and swear occasionally if he
likes, or ask them to do odd jobs
which he would not like to demand
of women clerks. Thus it happens
that the great majority of the women
now in. Office here were appointed be
fore the days of the civil service law.

In his memoirs the Marshal do
Luxembourg relates the following III
cident- The occurrence took place
during his service in the army o.
Flanders.
Noticing one day on march that
several soldiers were not in their
places, he sent an aid-de-carnp to re-
call them. ALI obeyed promptly ex-
cept one. The marshal then Count
de Bouttevillo and a lesser officer,
FASTENED to him, stick in hand, and
threatened to strike him.
If you do that you viii repent it, 7
cried the soldier.
Boutteville struck him several
times and forced him to return to
his regiment
Two weeks later the count offered
a large sum of money to any man
who would execute q perilous errand
for him. A soldier who was con
sidered the bravest in his regiment
presented himself for thocommission
and acquitted himself with great sue
cess and courage.
Boutteville praised him highly and
presented him with the reward which
he had offered. The soldier immc-
diately distributed the money among
his comrades and said:
''I did not serve you for money,
but if you think / deserve some rec
ompense will you make me an of.
ficer9 Do you recognize me, sir9"
The count replied that he had never
seen him.
IT am the soldier to whom you
gave a severe beating two weeks ago.
I said that you would repent it. "
The count embraced him with
emotion, promised to be his FRIEND
and the man received an officers
commission that very day.

The jury in the Sawyer will case,
at Salem, Mass, returned n verdict
sustaining the will. Samuel E. Saw
yer, of Gloucester, left an estate of
some S650,000, OF which 100000 or
more was bequeathed to charitable
institutions. A few relatives received
small bequests, but most OF the nearer
ones received nothing, and they con-
tested the viii, on the ground that
Sawyer was of unsound mind when

Last week, Mrs. Layton Leetch,
wife of farmer living near Durand,
Mich, was found in the dooryard
with the back of her neck shot away.
A short time later her husband was
discovered in the basement of the
barn with two terrible gashes in his
head, which had been inflicted with an
ak. 1t is learned that a young man
named Burns, who had been employ
ed around the farm for several weeks
past, called Mr.. Leetch from the house
and Knocked him down with an ak
and left him for dead. The scoundrel
then called Mrs. Leetch, and when
she stepped from the door into the
farmyard he shot her, then knocked
the unfortunate woman down and
ravished her. Twenty-Five dollars
was taken from Leetch's pocket by
Burns, who then escaped.

A great many queer stories have
been told illustrating the petty parsi-

the Frankfort Argus has now found
one who has small room on the
South Side and saves his cherished

sweeping and cleaning up. There is
also strong suspicion that he does
his own washing when any is done.
