He hold out scraps of paper to her. The
stern hook that had become his habit was
replaced by one Of perfect humility, his
voice was prayer.
"Hetty, I have just found this. L
never saw it before. My darling, can
you forgive me 2"
Can love and Joy find resurrection, full
and perfect, when they have been en-
tomted for quarter of century? Aye,
If clean hands have laid them them away
and purity and faith kept guard over
them. Swift came the awakening,
gathe ring force and strength from all the
Years through which they had slumbered.
Miss Hetty's face blossomed into some
thing so like the girlisll beauty that she
was as one TRANSPORTED to her old lover,
whose ewes lost their tired, strained look
and recovered their old fire, while his
figure Strengthened and he seemed to re-
new his lost estate of youth.
Yet they accepted their happiness rev.
erently, as becomes those who receive a
precious gift long withheld:
With a low cry Hetty laid her head on
his breast and he folded his arms about
her.
"Sweetheart, he said, "your pledge
has been slow toreach me- The day has
been long and lonely. Will you keep
your promise to-night|'
The shadows were frightening when
they turned homeward, but the radiance
of the setting sun was in their faces. -

Wooden Money.

Wooden money, in the shape of Elk
chequer tallies, was, prior to the estab
lishment of the Bank Of England in
1894, current in this country. Tallies
was the name given to the notched sticks
formerly in use in England for keeping
the accounts in the Exchequer. They
were square rods of hazel or willow, in
scribed on one side with notohes indicat-
ing the sum for which the tally was an
acknowled and on two other sides
with the same sum in Roman charac-
tiers. When the transaction was
completed the tally recording it
was split lengthwise, so that each
section contained half of each notch and
one of the written sides. One half,
called the tally or check, was given to
the person for whose service it was in
tended, the other half. called the counter
tally, was retained in the Exchequer
until its corresponding tally should be
brought in by the person who had last
given value Tor it, It thus become cur
rent token representing cash. After the
establishment of the Bank of England,
Government payments were made through
its agency. The use of tallies in the Ex-
chequer was abolished by Statute %,
George III. The old tallics were, by the
Act 4 and 5, William w., ordered to be
destroyed, and it was burning them that
caused the conflagration by which the
old Houses Of Parliament were demol-
ished. fit Bits.

Plants Which Can See.

Darwin, in his book on "MoVement in
Plants, is of opinion that many plants
may be said to have sight, and the IN
vestieations of other famed botanlsts
have confirmed him. An Indian botan-
ist relates the following remarkable in
cident: 81 was sitting in the varanda
with one foot against IA large pillar, near
to which grows a large kind of covolvu-
lus. It's tendrils were leaning over the
veranda, and to my surprise | noticed
that they were visibly turning toward
nv leg. | remained III that position and
in less than an hour the tendrils had laid
themselves over my leg. This was In the
early morning, and when at breakfast
told nv wife of this discovery we deter
mined to make further experiments.
When we went out into the veranda the
tendrils had turned their hesds back to
the railing in disgust. We got pole
and leaned it against the pillar quite
twelve inches from the nearest spray of
convolvulus. In ten minutes they began
to curve themselves in that direction,
and acted exactly as you might fancy
verv slow snake would act if he wanted
to reach anything The upper tendrlls
bent down and the side ones curved
themselves till they touched the pole, and
in few hours were twisted right around
it. 1t was on the side away from the
light, and excepting the faculty of sight,
l can imagine no other means by which
the tendrils could be aware that the pole
had been placed there.
St. Landry democrat., 1893-08-19

The recent heavy voting Of women
in the Kansas municipal elections de-
veloped some surprising results. 1t
was evident that the women divided
on party lines about as strictly as the
men. They usually voted one party
ticket or the other, and made little eff.
fort to strike off on new lines. For
instance, Mrs Potter, wealthy and
benevolent lady, was candidate for
mayor of Kansas City, Kan. One
would have supposed that she was
cure Of the bulk of the female vote,
but on the contrary she received very
little of it. OF the 1000 women that
voted at that election only 100 cast
their ballots for the lovely Mrs. Potter,
while 5000 gave their support to
"horrid men," This and similar
events in Kansas indicate to the AT.

When the World Falls to Pieces

The leading English scientists, Jones,
Hilton, ct al, are figuring on the proba-
bilities of the earth finally ccllapsing as
a result of the modern craze for tapping
natures great gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is huge balloon held up,
in part, at least, by heat and internal
gases, and that when natures great gas
main is eventually exhausted the earth's
crust may fall in and break into millions
of fragments! Ugh! The very thought
of such a calamity is startling. They
argue that the steady belching forth of
millions of feet of gas every hour of the
day and night is surely causing great
vacuum somewhere not far beneath the
surface, and that sooner or later the thin
archway of carth-crust will give way.
Then will occur the grand climax of all
earthly calamities.
