 'Ah! you stammer and finally halt at the last word.'
 ''}Eoinan, who are you, and why do you perSecute me?"
 ''Let me tell you a romantic little story--a story filled with acts of mer- cy. You have son. He married a girl in every way his peer, aye main tain in some respects his superior. Her descent was honorable. In her veins flowed the best blood of the land Her principles and nobility of character were hers by the right Of inheritance When she was very young pecuniary raisfortunes befell her family. With her own hands she earned the money for her education. At seventeen she carried away all the honors of the col lege. In your eyes, however, poverty was crime. You would not even see th1s young wife of your son. It ! was enough for you that she had worked in the kitchen. By perjured testimony procured by you the people, and even the husband, were made to i believe his wife false to her VOWS. All i her pleadings for mercy availed noth- | ing. She was driven out and even her babe was torn from her arms.
 T am that wife, that mother I swore to make you ask mercy of me. drove a team across the plains, 1 fought Indians, I swan icy rivers, stood guard in the cold, cold blasts of snow and sleet. 1 teamed to the mines in male attire, attending to six mules night and morning and driving them all day. slept by the roadside with only revolver for companion. But all, all for my baby, oh, my baby! My purse grew and hope grew with it. I came to the city with one hundred thousand dollars to carry out dreams of the lonely roadside, plans formed beneath the starry skies, amid a si- fence broken only by the coyotes. I began operations here, and when I found I could corner an article first bought you short on it. All this, John Doe, to force my way to justice and my babe held from me by force and wrong. You know of the perjury, you know of the wrong; confess them to my husband; give him back to me; give me my child; give me back my good name. I can repeat the line without quiver: That mercy to me- , Undo the great wrong, show the mercy you ask and all the hams in California, all the money you have lost will be yours. l am not blackmailer; l am not proposing to purchase your son. l am simply demanding justice and justice I will have whether you yield it or not. I feel like an enraged lioness whose cub has been stolen Oh, my boy, my boy, my baby boy.'
 She sank into chair and wept. He too wept tears of genuine repentance. He approached her, smoothed back her hair, kissed her forehead and said: My daughter. ."-Troy Times

< Remedy for Bugo OH Plants.

For killing bugs on plants the fol- lowing is recommended: Take the leaves and stems of the tomato plant and boil them in water until the juice is all extracted. When the liquid is cold it is to be sprinl1le6 over the plants attacked with insects, when it at once destroys caterpillars, black green flies, gnats, lice and other enemies to vegetables, and in no way impairs the growth of the plant. The Fruit Recorder says that the juice leaves an odor that will keep insects off for long time.

Painted Arab Girls.

Shief is a very picturesque spot perched
on a rock, with towers and turrets con
structed of sun dried brick, only here, as
elsewhere in these valleys, the houses are
so exactly the same color as the rock be-
hind them that they lose their effect. The
rich have evidently recognized this diff
Guilty and whtewash their houses but in
the poorer villages there is no whitewash,
and consequently nothing to make them
stand out from their surroundings. Arab
girls before they enter the harem and
take the veil are a curious sight to behold.
Their bodies and faces are dyed bright
yellow with turmeric. On this ground
they paint black lines with antimony
over their eyes. The fashionable color for
the nose is red green spots adorn the
check, and the general aspect is grotesque
beyond description.
Women wear their dresses high in front,
showing their yellow legs above the knee,
and long behind. They are of deep blue
cotton, decorated with fine embroidery
and patches of yellow and red sewed on in
pattern.
1t is the universal female dress in Ha-
dramut and looks as if the fashion had
not changed since the days when Hazar-
maveth, the patriarch, settled inthis valley
and gave it his name Genesis X, PSI. The
tall, tapering straw hat worn by these
women when in the fields contributes with
the mask to make the Hadrami females as
externally repulsive as the most jealous of
husbands could desire. Cen

credit is due the officers of the law for the

were brought to justice. Boiler had been
doing some work on the road near Mooers
house few days before and went to his
well for drink. Later he made an excuse
for going TO the barn when he
saw the oats which Mr.. Mooers
had recently thrashed out. Ward said that
Wednesday night he started for Dresden.

THE MAN WHO HAS FAILED.
Standing at Bay With the Whole World
Against Him.

Against Him.
Meantime that out of the way little
house in Washin ton was the scene OF
soul tragedy THAI was fast approaching
climax. Few men have within them great
er capacity for heroism than Christopher
Rrookes possessed. He had faced death
hundred times without flinching on the
field of battle, on the deck of SINKING
shin. in flood and fire. Nor was he lack
ing in that rarer heroism that resists the
slow continuous agony of years, the silent
heroism of which the world knows moth
ing, vet which is the whole of many hu-
man lives, but the situation in which TINS
man found himself was indeed enough to
appall the stoutest heart.
To find himself after almost half cen
fury of faithful service and manly living
standing at bay with the whole world APP
parently arrayed against him, closing It's
ranks grimly upon every avenue to honest
work that seemed about to open to him,
to know himself steadily acquiring the
ignominious stamp with which society
brands the man who has failed with every
fiber of his being in agonized protest
against his unmerited doom, to feel him
self sinking under dragging with hlm
those dear and innocent beings whose des-
TIMES were bound up with his own-this
was o test before which the strongest ma
ture, the firmest faith, might we'll give
way.
Brookes was not man of creeds. The
very depth of his nature, its broad and
loving sympathy, had long ago brought
him into revolt against the narrow reli-
gious teachings of his youth, as they had
against the cold theorizing of a science
that defines the origin of human love as
the elective affinity of two cells and secs
in every manifestation of beauty only
means used in the blind struggle for an
existence that has no higher purpose than
perpetuation. Both were equally hateful
to him. Long since ne had ceased the
hopeless endeavor to reconcile the lrrecon-
cilable and, like many another soul as
true and tender, waited, dumb before the
awful mysteries of life and death, for more
light Even now, when the earth seemed
slipping from under his feet and impene-
trable darkness encompassed him, no scot
fling word passed his lips. He even found
himself finging hopeless, incoherent
| prayers into that desolate void and all the
time sinking to lower depths of despair
