which she had shown me that Taras would
never marry. She feared that my affection
for him was ripening into love and that
should expect him to make me his wife.
The relation quite stupefied me, and
sank down silently ON tho stool BY his
bench, with tears that could not account
for gathering In my eyes and feeling Of
desolation and loss in my heart.
Mere Lucas kissed me and went away
with little sob of sympathy. He will

doubtedly love. unknown to me, Lad been
smoldering in my breast from the first
moment that Taras smiled at me, and to
burst up into flame it only needed that un-
fortunate touch by which old Mere Lucas
attempted to stifle it.
He will not marry me-" said, repeat

own. Then slowly the graver import Of
her warning dawred upon me. His reason

But this apathy on the part Of the secret

Of Taras and his friend Kava-

At the time that explanation was &C.

this communication.

Taras. But which Of themr To my eyes

pressed her feeling regarding them was
usually accompanied with a significant
movement of the thumb and finger, which
led me to understand that their object was
to get money out of Taras There was none
who looked like traitor, and could not
believe that any would be base enough to
betray him to the police, for, however
unhappy they looked on arriving, not one
went away with disappointment in his
face, and though Taras was careful to con-
ceal his generosity had reason to know
that he gave away to his distressed coun-

himself
All through the night taxed my brain
with conjectures and surmises without ar
irving at any definite conclusion with re-

proach for past neglect was to vow that 1
would be more watchful and vigilant In
the future.
And this VOW was not made in vain.

Peter VIII Never BE an Orator.

Peter Phillips, a colored man, lost the

ago. He says he knows no reason for 1t.
The most curious part of all is that he talks

He runs his farm In an intelligent way, al
ways making as good crops as his neigh
bors, and even when unable to talk his
trades with the merchants or others are as
economically and sensibly made as the av-
erage man of his race For years some peo-

more than IL years no man has ever heard
him speak a word in any town or at any

The automatic bobbin winder winds all sizes
Of thread on the bobbn as easily as q spool of
thread is wound, without care or attention on
the part Of the operator. except to keep the
treadle moving. Owing to the machine having
what is termed q tight and loose wheel, the
bobbin can be wound without running the
working parts Of the machine. This is quite
m advantage, as 1t does not necessitate re-
moving the goods from underneath the presser
foot. or sven unthrcading the machine.
The needle is short and straight, thus insur-
ing great strength: It Is also self-setting, re.
curing no care on the part Of the operator.
The pressure on the sewing foot Is ad Unstable,
and when the foot Is raised TO remove the work
from the machine, it brings into play the au-
tomato tension release. This takes the ten
sion from the thread. and the goods can be re-
moved from the machine without bending the
needle or breaking the thread. Every operator
on old style machines will appreciate this.
