by express constitutional provisions, which
have been fully supported and protected by
our courts and our Executives. 1t is q power
which has always been exercised by every
legislative body In the State and country, at
its own will, as to time or manner without
the possibility of successful opposition or re-

a week later divers Office boy, a
freckled and red-headed youngster by
the name of Sam, changed to Slam by
the much-tried clerks, knocked and
announced hoarsely: Lady TO see

words, his bearing and manner were so
full of dark mystery, Oliver almost ex-
pected Mrs. de Restaud, instead OF

a chair near divers desk, and with a
significant look withdrew.

deal" he said to the clerks as he shut
the door carefully. 81 guess there's
meat in it, for the boss grinned when
he see her"
81 hope you have good news, Miss
Patten," Oliver said, eagerly.

A Device Which Saves Much Labor and
Lots OF Annoyance.
Although the growing of q good
crop of grain as well as fodder and oil.
lowing it to ripen for ensilage gives us
much better ensilagc than the old plan
of growing fodder only and cutting
and canning 1t green, 1t does not Id
the least aid us in the solution Of the
problem of transporting our ensilage
material from the field to the cutter,
The long stalks with large, heavy ears
are very difficult 20 handle. Many de-
vices have been gotten up to aid In
handling this fodder, and one of the
best which we have seen is a low-down
wagon described in the Ohio Farmer
by f. p. Stump, of the Ohio state uni
versity farm, as follows:
The plan is to fit an ordinary farm
wagon with rack low enough to al
low one man alone to load, convcnient-
ly, a fair load. It requires for ma
terial two pieces of pine 5xo inches by
10 feet, one piece of oak 5xoxl2 inches,
four pieces of pine 6x0x15 inches.

Perhaps; but, remember, Maine is
prolific in divorce cases"
"Well, they live too shut in, folks do
down there, and they are all opinion
ated and strong characters. I'll write
you from Newcastle, at all events"
This DIR. John did after month. The
letter brought a sense of uneasiness to
oliver, and the conviction that, with
the best intentions in the world, he
had done a great wrong. Mrs. Minny
had never been heard from. Mrs. Pat
ten had been at home some weeks at a
time during the winter and spring, but
would go off again, wandering :"
Mr. Perkins said, and seemed not right
in her mind. Mrs. Perkins took care
of the cat and parrot, and she, too,
affirmed that Miss Patten was queer
and that she had remarked 1T was
wrong for dumb beasts and birds to be
housed when her own dear niece-her
only connection-was homeless wan
derer on the face of the earth
Mr. De Restaud had also visited
Newcastle and interviewed the depot
master, but he got no satisfaction, for
Mr.. Perkins told DIR. John "he'd
knowed Mlnny Patten from the time
she was little girl, when she played
with his little dead jamie Ann, and he
wasn't going to tell a black-looking
foreigner where she was if he
knowed," and he took much pleasure
in mystifying the infuriated husband.
Dear Craig" the letter ended, II
think am getting senile, for begin
to doubt my best friend. Do you know
where Mrs Minny is, and have you
known all the time? be lieve you (until

man. / shall think you a scoundrel II
my suspicious should be verified. At
least make Mrs Restaud write to that
poor distracted aunt wandering about
the world looking for her. 1t is like
uprooting a plant to tear an old woman
away from her home"
Oliver wrote few lines in reply:
"You had better return before
paresis sets In; You will be kindly
cared for here. Soberly speaking, II l
were the man you suggest, ought to
be in the penitentiary. | assure you |
know nothing of Mrs. De Restaud;
have never heard from her; and the
fact that assisted in sending such an
irresponsible young person adrift in
the world will always be a worriment
to me-"
So there were many hearts to be
lightened by Mrs. Minny's appearance;
but Of this she had no knowledge.
Her lightest moments would have been
saddened if she could have seen n
gaunt old woman overcoming n shud-
dering horror In some great city and
then venturing timidly to see dead
face in the morgue-an unknown,
young and beautiful, found dead. Nor
would Mrs. Minny have known her
self ms pictured by the trembling lips
OF that fast-aging old woman-''The
dearest, prettiest little thing and as
innocent as n child" Truly TO disap-
pear In this world is to leave behind a
trail Of broken hearts and long days OF
worriment and pain. Sad enough In
contrast Is to be among the missing
with no human being left to care, to
ask, and to be buried In the potter'e
feld--to have been bright-eyed baby
loved on its mothers breast, hoped fol
by her fond imagining, dreamed of in
the great future, and to be the fulfill
ment, unclaimed clay.

THE DOCTOR POINTED To THR HOUSE.
a woman, and doubly dear by that
clinging helplessness.
A week had Mrs. Minny been sick at
the switchman's house when DIR. John
telegraphed to Oliver to send lawyer
to the station. He also added: ''If
along" He had telegraphed to New
castle and found she was not there.
When by special order the train
stopped at the lonely brown house, DIR.
John was on the watch. He went daily
to the track for papers, having cstab-
ished communication with different
conductors. He had received no an
swer to his message sent the day be-
fore, and he surmised that Oliver, with
his usual attention to business, had
sent lawyer directly the message was
received The station was only night

To his surprise and dismay, Oliver him

turned and assisted tall lady to de-
scend, lady much burdened with par
cells and carrying large basket.
There was no chance to speak until
the train had gone; then Miss Patten
said, calmly:
"Where is she?"
The doctor pointed to the house. 81
must tell her first" he said in a whis-
per; "she is still very weak, and the
surprise might upset her. Where did
you come from?"
"Bosting. I've traced her, but went
on to Denver instid, an was In Mr..
divers Office when the telegram
come. Him being lawyer, per-
suaded him to come too"
While she spoke the basket in her
hand tilted up and down, and myste-
rious whine came out of IL. Mrs
Minny, wide awake, was being enter
tanned by the white-headed trio; they
were discussing whether they would
rather have a baby or a dog to play
with; they decided in favor of the lat
ter, for they never had a canine friend,
while there was new baby every year
or so; in fact, the oldest girl had a care
worn look on account OF her duties as
nurse. In the door of the house ap-
peared a white-headed child, who
called out, shrilly:
Lady wants to know what's squeak
ing out here"
"Says she's going to get up and see,
IL DIR. A-corns don't come and tell her."
shrielked q second whitehead.
Miss Patten opened the basket, and
a fluffy mass of disapproval bounced
out, spun around, and made vicious
dash at Miss Patterns ankles, while
she stood statue of patient endur-
ance.
"Tm used to IT, He hates the basket"
she said, shaking him off. ~ can't
blame him, for I've fetched him clear
from Bosting"
"Says she just knows it's her dorg," F"
yelled the third whitehead; and the
doctor, with various inane cajolements,
coaxed the dog TO the house. Luckily
Mrs. Macon removed the infant, for,
with wild bark, Skye leaped on the
bed, kissed his mistress wan face,
her hands, uttering joyful little barlSs,
and then, remembering old days, curled
himself in little round heap at her
