CHAPTER TX.
A FAMILY PLOT.

Little did poor DR.. Walker imagine as
he sat at his breakfast table next morn
ing that the two sweet girls who sat on
either side Of him were deep in con-
spiracy, and that he, munching inno-
Gently at his mullins, was the victim
against whom their wiles were planned.
Patiently they waited until at last their
opening came.
'It is a beautiful day." he remarked
''It will do for Mrs. Westmacott. She
was thinking of having spin pon her
tricycle."
''Then we must call early. We both
intended to see her after breakfast"
''Oh, indeedv The doctor looked
pleased.
"You know, pa" said Ida, sit seems
to us that we really have very great ad-
vantage in having Mrs. Westmacott liv-
ing so near"
"Why so, dear?"
"Well, because she is so advanced, you
know. If we only study her ways, we
may advance ourselves ALSO"
81 think have heard you say, papa"
remarked Clara, ''that she is the type of
the woman of the future"
81 am very pleased to hear you speak
so sensibly, my dears. I certainly think
that she is a woman whom you may very
well take as your model. The more init
mate you are with her the better pleased
l shall be-"
''Then that is settled" said Clara de-
mure1y, and the talk drifted to other
matters.
All the morning the two girls sat ex-
tracing from Mrs. Westmacott her most
extreme views as to the duty Of the one
sex and the tyranny of the other. Abso-
lutte equality, even in details, was her
ideal. Enough of the parrot cry of I'M
womanly and unmaidenly. 1t had been
invented by man to scare woman away
when she poached. too nearly upon his
precious preserves. Every woman should
be Independent. Every woman should
learn trade. It was their duty to push
in where they were least welcome. Then
they were martyrs to the cause and pio-
neers to their weakeEsisters. Why should

CHAPTER VIII-COntinued.

Clara went up stairs sad at heart, for
she was sure now that what she had
feared was indeed about to come to pass,
and that her father was going to ask
Mrs. Westmacott to be his wife. In her
pure and earnest mind her mothers
memory was enshrined as that of saint,
and the thought that any one should take
her place seemed q terrible Dissertation.
Even worse, however, did this marriage
appear when looked at from the point of
view of her fathers future.
The widow might fascinate him by
her knowledge of the world, her dash,
her strength, her unconventionality-
these qualities Clara was willing to al
low her-but she was convinced that she
would be uncomfortable as q life compan-
ion. She had come to an age when hab-
it's are not lightly to be changed, nor was
she woman who was at all likely to at
tempt to change them. How would a
sensitive man like her father stand the
constant strain of such a wife, woman
who was all decision, with no softness
and nothing soothing in her nature?
It passed as a mere eccentricity when
they heard of her stout drinking, her
cigarette smoking, her occasional whiffs
at long clay pipe, her horseWhipping
of drunken servant and her compan-
ionship with the snake Eliza, whom she
was in the habit Of bearing about in her
pocket. All this would become unen-
durable to her father when his first in
fatuation was past. For his own sake,
then, as we'll as for her mothers mem
DRY, this match must be prevented. And
yet how powerless she was to prevent it!
What could she do? Could Harold aid
her? Perhaps. Or Ida? At least she
would tell her sister and see what she
could suggest.
Ida was In her boudoir, a tiny little
tapestried room, as neat and dainty as
herself, with low walls hung with Imari
plaques and with pretty little Swiss
brackets bearing blue Kaga ware or the
pure white Coalport china. In low
chair beneath red shaded standing
lamp sat Ida in a diaphanous evening
dress Of mousseline de sole, the ruddy
light tinging her sweet childike face and
glowing on her golden curls. She
sprang up as her sister entered and
threw her ARMS around her.

"Dear old Clara! Come and sit down
here beside me. have not had a chat
for days. But, oh, what troubled face!
What is it them" She put up her fore
finger and smoothed her sisters brow
with it.
Clara pulled up stool, and sitting
down beside her sister passed her arm
round her waist. 81 am so sorry to
trouble you, dear Ida," she said, "but /
do not know what to do.'".

ride in her eagerness over her pet sub
iect, and her two fair disciples drank in
every word and MOTEL her every sugges-
tion for future use. That afternoon they
went shopping in London, and before
evening strange packages began to be
handed in at the doctors door. The plot
was ripe for execution, and one of the
cOnspirators WAS merry and jubilant,
while the other was very nervous and
troubled.
When the doctor came down to the
dining room next morning, he was sur
prised to find that his daughters had al
ready been up some time. Ida was in
stalled at one end of the table, with
spirit lamp, Il curved glass flask and
several bottles in front Of her. The con-
tents of the flask were boiling furiously,
while villainous smell filled the room.
Clara lounged i'll an armchair with her
feet upon q second one, a blue covered
book in her hand and huge map of the
British islands spread across her lap.
"Hullo!" cried the doctor, blinking
and shifting, ''where's the breakfaGxt?'
''Oh, didn't you order it," asked ida.
81! No; why should L." He rang the
bell. why have you not laid the break
fast, Jane?
eff you please, sir. Miss Ida was

"Oh, Of course, Jane" said the young
lady calmly Il all SO sorry. shall
be ready to move in few minutes"
"But what on earth are you doing,
Ida? asked the doctor. '"The smell is
most offensive. And, good gracious,
look at the mess which you have made
upon the cloth! Why, you have burned
hole right through"
''Oh, that is the acid" Ida answered
contentedly. Mrs Westmacott said
that it would burn holes"
''You might have taken her word for
it without trying" said her father dryly.
''But look here, pa! See what the book
says: The scientific mind takes nothing
upon trust. Prove all things! 1 have
proved that"
"You certainly have. Well, until
breakfast is ready I'll glance over The
Times. Have you seen it,"
"The Times? Oh, dear me, this is it
which l have under my spirit lamp. l
am afraid there is some acid upon that,
too, and it is rather damp and torn.
Here it is.
The doctor took the bedraggled paper
with rueful face. "Everything seems
to be wrong today" he remarked. ''What
is this sudden enthusiasm about chemis-
try, Ida?'
"Oh, am trying to live up to Mrs.
Westmacott's teaching"
"Quite right, quite right!' said he,
though perhaps with less heartiness than
he had shown the day before. "Ah, here
is breakfast at last"
But nothing was comfortable that
morning. There were eggs without egg
spoons, toast which was leathery from
being kept, dried up rashers and grounds
in the coffee. Above all there was that
dreadful smell which pervaded every
thing and gave horrible twang to every
mouthful.
II don't wish to put damper upon
your studies, Ida," said the doctor as he
pushed back his chair. "But do think
it would be better if you did your chem
ical experiments little later in the day"
"But Mrs. Westmacott says that wom-

don't think that it is laughing matter"
"Really, could not help it. If you
had told me that those two dear old la
dies opposite, the Misses Williams, were
both engaged you would not have sur
prised me more. 1t is really too funny"
Funny, Ida? Think of any one TAX
ing the place of dear mother"
But her sister was Of more practical
and less sentimental nature. 81 am
sure" said she, "that dear mother would
like papa to do whatever would make
him most happy. We shall both be
away, and why should papa not please
himself?'
"But think how unhappy he will be.
You know how quiet he is in his ways
and how even a little thing will upset
him. How could he live with wife who
would make his whole life a series of
surprises? Fancy what whirlwind she
must be in house. A man at his age
cannot change his ways. am sure he
would be miserable"
Ida's face grew graver, and she pom
dered over the matter for few minutes.
II really think that you are right, as
usual" said she at last. 81 admire Char
ley's aunt very much, you know, and /
think that she is a very useful and good
person, but I don't think she would do
as wife for poor quiet papa"
''But he will certainly ask her, and
really think that she intends to accept
him. Then it would be too late to in
terfere. We have only few days at
the most. And what can we do! How
can we hope to make him change his
mind?"
Again Ida pondered. HE has never
tried what it is to live with strong
minded woman" said she. eff we could
only get him to realize it in time! Oh,
Clara, I have it, I have it! Such lovely
plant" She leaned back in her chair and
burst into a fit of laughter so natural
and so hearty that Clara had to forget
her troubles and join in it.
ooh, it is beautifulp' she gasped at
last. "Poor papa! What time he will
have! But it's all for his own good, as
he used to say when we had to be pun
ished when we were little. Oh, Clara, I
do hope your heart won't fail you"
II would do anything to save him,
dear"
'That's it. You must steel yourself
by that thought"
"But what is your plan?"
ooh, am so proud of it. We will
tire him forever of the widow and of
all emancipated women. Let me see,
what are Mrs. Westmacott's main ideas?

that every woman who has leisure should
take up the study of some branch of
science, and that as far as possible ev-
cry woman should qualify herself for
some trade or profession, choosing for
preference those which have been hither-
to monopolized by men. To enter the
others would only be to intensity thepres-
ent competition"
"Quite so. That is glorious!' Her

Goat River District.

The Goat river district, although
not much advertised has within its
bounds as rich deposit of precious
metals as any of the rich districts
of British Columbia and when once
thoroughly prospected will expose
rich deposits of gray copper, galena
and gold bearing quartz. This is
not guess work but based on the
discoveries and already developed
mines. All prospectors who visit
the district express great satisfac-
ton as to the formation and lay of
the country and we feel safe in say
ing that we will have the pleasure
of recording some more rich strikes
in the near future.
The Columbia Mining Co., of
which r. w. Hummer is manager,
is working two of their copper
claims, the Gladiator and Sea King.
The shaft on the Gladiator is now
down to % feet, and looks very
promising. They have the foot
wall on one side of the shaft but as
yetare unable to ascertain the width
Of their claim lead, they expect to
sink this shaft about 60 feet and
crosscut the ledge to hanging wall.
Recent assays show a net value of
$3.50 in gold, copper and silver and
it is Mr.. Runners opinion that the
company have a bonanza.
We expect report of the Sea
King in a few weeks for a contract
of $50 feet of tunnel will be COM
pleted in this time which will tap
their ledge 100 feet in depth.
New discoveries are being made
every day. Among the most note
worthy is the one made by our
friend John Wilson. His claim

famous Alice and an extension of

as strong and rich in every respect
as the Alice. John expects to dc

A Royal Scandal.

The story that Prince George,
now married to Princess May, had
contracted clandestine match with
a girl at Malta, receives general
credence in England; but her maj
esty's subjects, though they have
no doubt that this future king of
England did really marry some
girl far removed from his own rank
have the comforting realization that
the marriage is null and void with
out the sanction of the queen. The
feelings of the young lady at Malta
do not appear to have any part in
the consideration of the affair."

IDAHO AGRICULTURAL EXHIBIT.
Though Partly Destroyed by Fire it
ELECTS Much Praise
IDAHO STATE BUILDING,


1t was unfortunate, indeed, for
Idaho that car load of choice ag-
ricultural exhibits was burned on
its way to the Worlds Fair. The
state of Washington has fine ex-
hibit in this department, which,
as expressed by Senator Carey of
Wyoming in his visit to the Idaho
building, sis excelled by no other
exhibit of its kind at the Fair, and"
he concluded, "Idaho could have
done just as we'll" But still Idaho
has a good representation of what
her farms can produce, notwith-
standing the fire, and the superior
ity of the specimens is admitted,
but quantity goes long ways to-
wards making an impression at the
Worlds Fair.
A short time ago an inventory
was made of the wreck left by the
fire which had been stored in the
space assigned to Idaho in the ag-
ricultural building. The light pro-
ducts had all been destroyed except
one box of corn fodder, but one
hundred and thirty-seven bushels
of oats from one acre, and several
sacks of wheat, had come through
in tolerably good condition. The
grain was sold for chicken feed for
barely enough to pay the freight.
Nevada now occupies the center of
the Idaho space, and Ohiois waiting
to put in special exhibit in one
end while the other remains va
cant.
Idaho's agricultural exhibit is to
be seen in the State building.
Standing by the big fire place in
one corner facing the main entrance
is hill of corn, the stalks measur-
ing over thirteen feet. On the sec
ond floor in the Miners cabin, hung
from the joice before the fireplace
in true old time style, are two dozen
and more OF farm products. One
large onion is now sending forth
sprouts three feet long. Several
varieties of corn are shown, and one
gourd above the mantle is large
enough for a washboiler. Among
the specimens are several hanks of
tobacco.
The principal exhibit is on the
third floor. At the head of the
stairs on one side is a shock of field
corn, and on the other a shock of
broom corn with the finished
brooms from Ceur d'Alene City
placed around the sides. The roof
of the building is supported by the
seemingly cross walls which have
been cut away. The ends of these
walls are ornamented with taste
fully woven knots of cereals. On
one side of the room is q table con-
tanning jars filled with grains and
seeds in variety.
Opposite the stairway in the
front end Of the room are six shocks
that stand up tall and straight as if
they would touch the ceiling. A
gentleman from Kentucky the other
day looking at them said: "My,
what oats | didn't know you raised
blue grass out there. And that's
alfalfa! l never saw any before
What's it good for?" The six
shocks are wheat, oats and barley
on one side, and orchard grass, al
falfa and clover and timothy on the
other. a pair Of mountain sheer
are placed on stands by the chin
ney, one on either side and the
stands are deliberately decorated
with grains and grasses. Hanging
on the walls in many places are
