The face, that Of . handsome young
man, seemed to smile down upon her
in response. and Gladys sat looking at
it with an expression of tender trust
and love, which the original would
have been glad to see.
OF course it was her lover, you have
guessed that already. They loved
each other really-these two-but Hor-
ace was fighting for his country in the
Soudan, and Gladys had to get what
comfort she could from his picture un-
til he came back. II was . full-length

and offer Of marriage, which had ac-
companied them Gladys was not one
to wear her heart in her sleeve; and
although it was generally understood
that she was engaged to Horace Rail-

1t was thought because she said little.
she cared little. and there were some,
who with Mn- Fortescue aid and

that she would do better to bestow her

But Gladys had her own way in the

A Trick of the Orchids.

could they get these insects to cut up

But not before he had been the
cause of much modification and dis
tress to our heroine. How it got
| abroad no one knew, but certain it is
that within weeks time Miss For
tescue's condolences to her lover were
public property, and her treasured Sc
cret was in everybody's mouth. But
for her character" the banter she
received would have driven her away
from home, but, although she suffered
keenly, Gladys took it all in good part
Only she gave up talking to Horace
from that time forth, lest some one
else should overhear.
And that is the end?
Well. almost OF course, Gladys had
another portrait painted. OF course.
Horace was invalided home just after
this event Then Gladys helped to
nurse him, and they were married as
soon as possible and lived happy ever
afterwards" as the fairy tales say.
And Bruce, the hero of the hour?
Well. in my own mind, have no
doubt that Bruce knew he was the
hero of the hour. He received all con-
gratulations with suitable dignity
and bashful, conscious air that was
most becoming, and whenever the
story was told in his hearing behaved
precisely as many another hero does,
andati its conclusion walked from one to
another of the assembled company and
gravely put up his paw to shake hands.
He lived in peace and honor to good
old age, for his master never could
think without shudder of what
might have been" If Bruce had not
been ito the fore" on that eventful

The Anything Man.

An applicant inquired of merchant
for work.
What can you do?" asked the en-
ployer.
'Oh. anything"
Don't want you," said the employer,
and after some additional talk the ap-
plicant departed.
Later another came in.
What can you do?' inquired the
employer, as before.
Il can't do anything" was the half
ashamed confession.
That's all right; you go out there
and the foreman will put you to work Z"
A friend. who had seen the whole
performance, was so much interested
that he became inquisitive.
Il don't quite understand" he said,
questioningly, why you took one and
let the other go. The first one seemed
to be an intelligent fellow
Yes" explained the employer. but
I've got no use for these men who can
do anything; they know it all. Possi-
bly, the others may not prove to be any
better, but when you find a man who
can't do anything you do stand some
chance of teaching him. Kate Fields

M de Morgan, in the course of his
excavations at Satckarah. in Egypt,
has fenna singular relic namely II, III the
tomb of certain Mera, his wife and
his son. Mera lived during the days
of Tetas. king of the sixth dynasty.
The tomb consists of no fewer than
thirty-one rooms and walks In eigh-
teen of these there are decorated
sculptures. which are very well pre-
served. In one of the rooms, which is
filled with columns. there is also
statue of Mera, nearly eight feet high.
The burial room of his wife is especial
ly beautiful The leading pictures on
the walls are weeping women, labor
ers working in metals. dancing figures
and the like. This monument is one
of the most beautiful that has ever
been found in the land of the Phara-

tried varieties used in their stead. Care
should be taken to plant -staminate and
pistillate varieties together, that Is to say,
In alternate rows, or with alienation
more or less close. The dirt should be
firmly fastened around the roots OF the
plants and it will be all the better for
them II they can be shaded with sheet
or something of the kind for few days
after planting.
Theo. Louis followed with an address on
growing corn. He gave reasons why ne
preferred blowing the ground in the fall.
He could. by doing so, kill the weeds more
effectively both fall and spring, and he
could also secure more perfectly the re-
tentiOn of moisture in the soil. He al
ways tried to secure a fine pulverization
in the seed bed. In his soil he planted
corn three inches deep. He then described
the nature of the dragging which was Civ
en- the corn after it appeared above the
surface of the ground. He also pointed
out the disadvantage arising from deep
cultivation.
Supt Gregg then dwelt upon the waste
in corn fodder that occurred Oftentimes.
This was owing in part to over dryness,
to the dust that was blown on the corn
from the prairie by the Winds and in part
to rain which fell upon the shocks.
Mr.. Carlyle then pointed out the ad-
vantages of the silo. Prominent among
the prevention of waste of the corn. He
showed how 1T was that by no other
method corn was saved so perfectly or
SO easily as when put into the silO.
Several important addresses were given
during the afternoon session by DR.. j. G..
Curryer Mrs. Tilson and other members
of the corps.

Amusing Incident That Happened In
the Days 81 the Code.
Talk about duels,' said Station Keeper
"Posey" Buckley. the, other night to the
Louisville CONVERSATIONAL Il once knew
of case which makN me laugh now
every time 1 think of it. 1t happened in
Henry county just after the war; 1 believe
there were more fighting men in that
county then than in any other place of
similar size in the world. In those DAYS
men were quick to resent insults, and were
as ready to fight for small wrongs as for
great ones.
"'One night I was seated in a hotel in
one of the towns there, when a tall. dark
skinned man entered and had the bellboy
take his valise while he registered. A num-
Der of the fighters were seated about t
the time, and it was remarked that the
new conner would be dangerous man to
fool with. Bill Winters. the fighter with
the grea test reputation of them ali. was
seated there, and he sized up the man
critically. The new conner seemed to nic,r
out Winters in the glance he gave MS and

the act had been accidental, but Bill was
mad, 1 tell you. He looked hard at the
stranger and said few cusS words. The
stranger looked at Bill with contempt and
walked out. Then Bill cussed some more.
and he finally wrote out challenge ad-
dressed to the stranger, in which he asked
him to fight with pistols at 10 PAGES the
next morning at daylight. The note was
sent to the strangers room. and all OF us
went home 60 that we could get I'D early
the next morning and see the fight, for we
had no other idea than that some one
would be killed. When / got down to the
hotel about 4 o'clock the next morning I
found all the men assembled about Bill
Winters, and they were laughing fit to kill.
The stranger was nowhere to be seen. Bill
was reading a note, which was worded
about like this:
"'Mr. Winters: Yours received. You are
too big fool for me to fight. When you
get this 90 out to your stable door and make
the picture Of man on it with a piece of
chalk. Then when daylight comes step
back 10 PAGES and take good aim at the
figures biggest part. Then fire when you
ret ready. If the ball hits the man on the
barn door Just consider that I am dead
and that your great injury is wiped out
with nv blood. If you miss. then go home
and tell your wife that she is widow
I hope you will be satisfied with this
fight
mo name was signed to the note, and
when we asked the hotel clerk about the
stranger, he said that he had left the
hotel about midnight and he had cratched
his name off the register. The laugh was
on Bill Winters for years"
