Craig" said Dr. John, sitting down
on a nail-keg, why did you come
here?"
Because you sent for lawyer and
for Miss Patten. l connected the mys-
terry with the young lady had assisted
to run away, whose fate has been a
good deal of trouble to me ever since.
1 wanted to help her, if need be. Is
she very ill?"
Getting better fast. 1t was mad
folly to start on journey sick as she
was. 1 don't blame you, Craig, for
that long ride and the risk you ran;
she is very winning, this troublesome
little lady, and brave too. 1t is won
der what a woman can endure, a
slight frail creature whose hand you
could crush in your fingers"
''But she had" said Oliver, uneasily,
plenty of money, had she not?"
''She was travelling in the day
coach, and has, / think, about five
dollars in shabby little purse. Miss
Patten was right when she said we
should not see Mrs. Minny until the
money you gave her was all gone.
Where has she been all these long
months? By her finding the dog, Miss
Patten probably knows now"
Yes, and it was as / thought
something entirely original Near
Boston Mrs. de Restaud got acquaint-
ted with an elderly female who ran
some sort of a retreat for aged pets,
invalid dogs and cats. The idea was
so novel Mrs. Minny decided TO stop
over and see the place. Finding Mrs.
Blinn agreeable, and Syke contented
in the society of his kind at the re-
treat, she remained. She met sailor
from Newcastle in the street one day,
and he told her Miss Patten had not
been home for long time. So she
decided not TO write anyone, but to
remain hidden. One day few weeks
ago she came home from the village
much upset, and acted oddly; she had
either seen some one or read some
thing in newspaper, for the village
storekeeper saw her porting over one,
looking much upset. Two days later,
leaving a note containing board for
her dog, she disappeared. This Mrs.
Blinn, who seems to be good sort of
person, worried great deal, looking
for her everywhere, and in her search
wrote to the postmaster at Newcastle,
for she had heard Mrs. Minny speak of
having been there. Through that let

came to Valentines aid and found that
the artery had been severed. The wound
was cauterized and the doctor told Val

In the meantime young Valentines
cries had attracted an immense crowd
of men, women and children, who de-
manded the death of the pup, which
was shut up in the yard. An Italian
next door procured a gun n aimed
1t at the dog. which retreated under a
woodshed. Mounting a fence the Italian
opened fire on the woodshed, the children
hurled stones and pandemonium reigned
Officers Peters and Kennedy came up.
Peters told the crowd to keep quiet;
the dog was only frightened; but Ken

found the pup was the only san animal

A careful housewife, who makes use of

get a free flow of oil; the wick therefore
should be held by the fire and thor

IS not impeded. Another way is to soak
the wick in vinegar and then dry it thor

oils there is a sediment Which sinks to

A. TRANSPARENT CURTAIN.
From within Xou Can Look Hish
.Ms -stra Ts rog@L Them.

A new invention for the production 9I
a fabric for window blinds is reported
from Yorkshire, England. The material
and apparatus employed and the process
adopted in the manufacture gives a FABRIC
that is transparent fgom the room but
Opaque from without The fabric con-
tains linen, aluminium, isinglass. borax,
3tallow, etc. The apparatus contains d
cylinder filled with a patent classifying
compound, in witch bobbins of linen
warn are placed. The yarn is saturated
and coated with this mpo as 1t IS
wound off the i bobinss TO- drawn
through an opening at the top of the cyl
inder; it is then passed over a roller,
situated above this opening, and down
to a series of heating and drying plates;
then around another roller, to the re-
winding arrangement of the apparatus,
where the yarns are wound upon the
bobbins again, and are then ready for
a knitting machine. .5
The inventor claims that this bilnd
is SO flexible that it can be easily rolled
up and down; that 1t is so ~ransparen
that a room is not darkened when IT
Is drawn; that while those inside a room
can see through the blind almost as per
outside cannot see inside the room, I'M
less the latter is lighted most brilliantly
and darkness prevails outside, and that
it is artistic, and, therefore, pleasing to
painted, but is expected that in the
future it will be possible to print them
by machinery, and thus reduce the eX-
Dsrse of ~production, so that the cost of
fitting windows will not be much greater
than that incurred by ordinary, blinds.
