It was association with this old scholar
that had enlarged the girls mind, Greg
DRY said to himself. Her surroundings
Influenced her manner. She had seen
nothing of the world. But she grew on
him. At this moment the sweet little
face was full of feeling, and her eyes
had a PARKWAY look in them as if she
saw something that others saw not.
Meanwhile Gregory remembered that
his father had desired him to get a
photograph of the author if one were to
be had. He put the question to the girl
presently, and she arose and went to the
little bookcase again and looked in one
of the drawers and returned to him,
bringing with her some tintypes.
"a gentleman with red wagon went
through Pohatcong taking licensees
last month";" she said. "He took the
tavern with all the people on the porch,
and the house, and the minister and his
wife, almost everybody. He charged
so cents for a residence and 20 for
group of people and Is for one person
alone. Lizzie and had ours, and we
tried to make baby sit, but he would
bob his head about. 1 shouldn't think
you'd care for the little thing. but if
you do of course you may have it,"
THANK you," said Gregory; 1--WE shall
prize it greatly"
The queer little tintypes were very
good ikenesses of both girls. In looking
at Lizzie's Gregory felt that it was quite
cruelty perfect. 1t was bad face, al
though its features were pretty, but
Rosebud wore her own innocent, artless,
schoolgirl look. She seemed to be dress
ed in the same faded muslin in which
she stood before him, and her haxen
braid was drawn forward over her
shoulder, where it hung below her
waist.
''I put my hands behind me,'' she said,
f'because 1 had just been washing the
dishes and they were so red"
{ :. ut is pretty attitude, said Gregory.
:'tThe artist said so. said Rose.
THANK you very much for giving it
to me- said Gregory.
:, 81 think you have right to it if you
need it, the girl answered, latter Civ
ing so much for the book"
After a few more words Gregory took
his leave, feeling as though he were in a
dream

CHAPTER. VI

The stage was at the door of the tav-
ern, and passenger with deep music
al voice was holding converse with the
landlord concerning a little colt that
was straddling about a small Enclosure.
The driver emerged from the barroom
wiping his lips.
"Find Budses?" he asked of Gregory,
recognizing him with a nod as an old
acquaintance.
'Oh, yes" young Blanchard replied,
easily
Gregory entered the stage. AS. he did
so the occupant, an immense being,
with more hair and more hat than most
men in the northern states indulge in,
drew his head in from the window and
courteously endeavored to occupy less
of the vehicle with his long legs, which
seemed at first to fill it completely.
AS young Blanchard looked at him it
dawned upon him by degrees that tho
gigantic presence was handsome-as
handsome, he said to himself, as if he
were an antique marble warmed to life.
To the perfection of form was added
fine skin, rich hair, bright eyes and a
look of perfect health. Big as he was,
the man was very young, scarcely so
old, I" Blanchard thought. ''as am"
The driver climbed into his place, a
friend beside him. There were no other
passengers. AS the stage began to Ium-
Der on its way the giant spoke:
Excuse me, but you are acquainted
with the Bud family, SIR" he said. 81

CHAPTER VII

When Gregory reached home, he found
Cornelia Van Tassel at the house.
They were sitting together in one of
the handsome rooms. where curtains of
lace and silzen sheen turned the bright
out of door sunshine into warm twi-
light. Cornelia. who today wore violet,
was leaning back in great chair, over
which q drapery of old gold had been
flung. She could not have chosen q
more perfect background. In her hand
she held an oblong fan of peacock
feathers with a long golden handle.
Somehow she had the effect Of some fair
f1gurein an illumination, robbed of its
stiffness and made beautiful.
= ''I have executed your commission.
I have obeyed your behest. Ihave found
the coming authoress," he said. you
must give me gloves to wear in the band
Of my derby, that all may know me for
your knight, Miss Van Tasse1."
"You must wait until it is rubbed on
the ends of the fingers" said Cornelia.
"Father says that when he fails he will
mention his daughters glove bill DIS the
cause, and we have sworn to be econon-
ical in future. Meanwhile who is she?"
.'Behold herr' said Gregory, taking the
tintype from his pocket.
'.And has she written an ode to tho
moon or a poem to a violet?" asked Cor
nelia. ST should fancy she would run
to that sort of thing. Still you never
know"
GIN my humble opinion she has writ
ten great book" said Gregory. in
deed am in earnest. Ponsonby and all
the rest have agreed that it is fine. The
best of the recent German novels are no
better, and it reminds one in places of
Goethe"

Wheel NIoIding Machines.

By means of a peculiarly unique inn
provement in wheel molding machines,
wheels are now cast in sections III the
same mold, SO that the various parts fit
with perfect accuracy when finished and
bolted together. In the ordinary types OF
wheel molding machines the block is car
ried round the mold on radial arm, sup
ported on column in the center of the
mold, or the mold itself is rotated while
the block remains stationary, the center of
rotation in eitherSScase remaining fixed. 1t
is obvious that if the whole of wheel re-
CURED to be cast in two sections were
nodded at once in machine havirs fix
ed center of rotation, it would be found
when removed from the mold, and the
edges planned up, that each of the two
parts would be less than semicircle to
the extent of the metal removed by plan
ing, so that the whole would not form a
true circle. 1t has been customary, there
fore, to mold each half separately in dis
tiuct moIds. In this new machine, how
ever, as described in the Philadelphia Rec
ord, the radial arm is mounted on an axis
which may be set at any required degree
of eccentricity to the center of the pillar,
so that, while the axis of rotation of the
radial arm is in one position, any desired
portion of the wheel can be nodded. The
axis of rotation may then be altered to
another position, and then another portion
of the wheel nodded until the requisite
sections are completed. New York Sun.

Katorga.

sWhen the laws of the white car con-
denim the hapless Russian, and when hope
dries up in his breast, three prospects loom
up before him. Of these two are to be con-
templated with comparative equanimity,
and the mere thought of the third is
enough to turn mans brain. They are,
being shot, being hanged and Katorga.
Being shot is tolerable, being hanged,
without being SO desirable, is nevertheless
fate than which many are worse, but
Katorga is as the blight of God. 1t with
ers many, it kills many, and many it turns
into beasts. 1t is truly the living death.
The sun shuns Katorga, the knot cuts
the flesh into minee, and unless you are
very lucky in Katorga it takes you years
and years to die. "
In Russia you often see families who
wear no mourning, and yet there are gaps
in the home circle, and the women pray
long in the churches even as they pray
for loved ones that are dead, and their eyes
become black ringed from sadness. If you
ask them why this grief and sorrow, they
fear to even answer, but when you gain
their confidence and ask for him you fancy
may be dead the whispered response is
"Katorga." By Katorga is meant the con-
vict island Of Saghalien. Francisco

Reindeer Meat as Food.

A clergyman, the Rev. Mr.. Wallis, who
has lived for several years on the Porcu-
pine river in the British northerly posses
sions, writes entertainingly of his manner
of life in that frigid region.
"Many times" he says, 81 have sub
sisted exclusively on reindeer meat. 1t is
very good, and may say it is about the
only kind of meat you don't get tired of.
I think it is better, all things considered,
than beef, and that you can eat it longer
without its palling on you. 1t is a veni-
son more than anything else. The Indians
eat it almost exclusively, and they are very
big and strong. Some of them are feet
in height, and the average is about feet
10 inches. They are genuine North Amer
lean Indians, and not the Aleuts, Eskinos
or mixture of the two.
II keep an Indian hunter, and he sup
plies me with all the reindeer meat want.
He also brings me grouse, duck, bear
and other game as I need it. have learn
ed to shoot pretty well myself, as the white
men do in that region or anywhere contig-
uous to it. The ducks and grouse, like the
reindeer, are remarkably good eating. y

Swallowing a Pin.

have often looked with alarm at the
amateur and professional dressmaker, who
invariably makes pincushion of her
mouth, regardless of possible conse-
quences, and in my ignorance have won
dered, "Now, if one of those pins lodged
in that dressmaker's throat, how should ]
attempt to extricate it?''
Today am wiser. If there were brisk
fire at hand, should instantly proceed to
make a stiff little dumping of -four and
water, bake it till it was quite hard, and
then give the unfortunate victim piece
about the size of a small walnut to swal-
low.
The echances are that the point of the
pin would adhere to this and lose it's ten
sion OF the flesh. Another thing to do in
the event of swallowing q pin or tack is
to take stiff bread poultice and to swal-
low qultea quantity. -London Gentleman.
