I tcrn with doubts and fears and weak and trembling at the thought of the terrible ordeal so near at hand. He shook in every limb, and his heart rose in his throat till it almost choled him.
 He felt as if he could never do it in the world. But he must-he must! And, nerved to momentary courage by his desperation, he bolted toward the door and bestowed upon it thunder ous knock, and then, startled at his own daring, was on the point of flee ing ingloriously when the door opened and Miss Dolly stood before him.
 She expressed pleasurable surprise upon discovering his identity, as if, artful maiden, she had not been wait ing all the evening for his coming! Earlier in the evening, parents, broth CTS and sisters, in obedience to hint from Jimmy, had retired previous to their usual wont, leaving Dolly to carry out her declaration of sitting up to watch the Old Year out and the New Year in. But Gran'pap Trilligan had not been included in the harmless plot, for the reason that he usually re- tired early, anyhow. But tonight the veteran, with the unreasoning oosti- macy of age, had determined to be in at the death of the passing year on his own account.
 There was no use in arguing with gran'pap, and so he was left to do his pleasure, in the expectation that he would soon forget this determination and totter off to bed. But gran'pap was made of sterner stuff, and having seated himself in the rocker before the fire with the intention of remaining till midnight, there he sat, for the time being, as firmly planted as the Rock of Gibraltar, albeit he soon dozed off and bade fair to sleep away the last hours of the expiring year.
 But Jason's resonant knock had aroused him and low the old man was wide awake aud sternly determined to stay so, He regarded the visitor critically and with visible disapproval. What on earth could be Jason's reason for coming there at such an unwar- ranted hour? Gran'pap did not ap- prove of gadding around at night, and showed it
 "Howdy-du, Jason?" he saluted, sus- piciously. Pears to me you're out mighty late. Ain't nothing the matter at home, is thereP"
 "Nun-nun-no," answered Jason, guiltily. "W-w-we are all w-w-"
 "Har?" Gran'pap was as deaf as the proverbial adder.
 "I sus-sus-I say w-we are all w-w-w we are all-"
 "What's that?" broke in gran'pap, who fancied he was missing some thing of vital importance.
 "I sus-sus-said-" began Jason, rais- ing his voice. II sus-"
 "Dead?" snapped gran'pap. "Whose dead? It hain't your mar, is it? She's been poorly for quite spell. but no- body thought she'd die of it."
 "Nun-nun-"
 "Har?"

THE OpOR OF PLANTS.
- Comes From the Heart Of the Flower
Usually. Sometimes From the Leaves.

The various delightful or disagreeable
odors of the plant family usually reside
in the flower itself, though in some
species the scat is in the leaves and stem
or even in the root. In either case the
odor due to the presence of volatile
essel.; Al oils, usually of resinous ma

know. and their nature is so complex
that even "a slight variation in the tenn

concerned al least, in an entirely differ
ent compound.
Pr3phylic ether, which is an exam
pie of these unstable compounds. can,
by slightly different Arrangement Of
its elements, be MADE to yield either the
odor of pineapples Or that of decaying
fish The reason, therefore, why eacn
species and kind of plant has differ
ent odor is the ease with which one per

Sufficient cause for such transition l.
often found in the mode of life of each
variety of plant and the difference in
their chemical constitution.
Whatever in any way affects the life
or growth Of plant rapidly shows its
effect upon the flower and its perfume.
The nature of the soil and its humidi-

intensity of the sunlight will sooner or
later transform the entire nature of z
plant. for, a. has been fully shown
above, one plant, in order to produce
exactly the same perfume as another,
must not only be of the same species
but live in the same elements, earth,
air, etc. IL must also absorb a similar
amount of light and breathe the same,
which would, Of course, necessitate
leaves similar in size, color and shape.

The first round in the Haii-Balle"
bout was principally devoted by the
men to Sizing the other UP" although
towards its close Hall hit Baker quite
freely.
In the second round, Baker led wildly.
but when Hall got back at him he
received several blows which left him
badly winded.
IN the third, Hall landed on Bakers
face as he pleased, but did not seem
disposed to push things.
In the fourth round, Baker started
in to rush Hal, but was quickly
stopped with a hard righs and left.
Hail could seemingly have Knocked him
out had he followed him. However. as
Baker was on his feet az the end of the
round, he was declared winner.
Hail complained that his stomach was
weak and he was unable 10 exert his
full strength.
Hall knocked Bill Woods down in the
first. but Woods SAVED himself by
clinching at every opportunity. He re-
peated these tactics throughout the
fight and managed to stay the four
rounds.
