and started to her feet. But Herbert was
laughing
II ought to have thought of that at once"
he said Don't you understand, Corinna?
There's ledge Of rock that runs across
the street and by this side Of the house
That is the reason that the grass cannot
take deep root here, and turns yellow; that
is why the old birch has pulled up stakes
to run away. When the car goes over the
ledge it jars this room and makes the
photograph jump. That is all, truly, my
dear girl will lay the ghost for you; I
will bring a neat and rather solid frame
for the picture tomorrow. And I warrant
you that from this out Aunt Drusilla will
behave herself"
Herbert kept his word, bringing a heavy
standing frame in gilt metal. Holman
Brockway thought 1t very handsome in the
future son-in-law to do such honor to the
aunt who had been so ungentle to the low
ers.
81 take it very kind of you, Herbert"
he said. ""Tis right, tits accordin' to re-
ligion. You're kind O. heapin' Goals Of fire

II should think not"
"Then I am sorry for her. and I won't

Corinna. Come, let US sit down and read
now" They were reading aloud life of
George Washington; 1t appeared serially in
one of the magazines. Herbert had that
evening brought new number from town.
1t was quite true that Aunt Drusilla in all
her life never had lover, never received
the attentions and the pretty speeches that
cause a woman to value herself happily
She had always been plain, elf-suf1lcing,
even forbidding But she had one moment
of vanity. Some years before the wagon Of
an itinerant photographer had broken down
on the top of the hill In front of her house.
1t took hours to mend it; and at noon the
man asked Miss Brockway II she would
give him some dinner. In return he would
make her a photograph, cabinet size and
nicely finished. She set a meal before him
afterward he sighted her with the camera,
put away the negative and promised to
send the picture in few days. II guess I

TOO MANY HORSE HIDES.
European ImportatiOns Have Glutted
the United States Market.


European ImpOrtatfOns Have Glutted
the United States Market.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The hide Of the horse has always been
valuable for making ladies' fine shoes and
thongs for belt 1acing. 1t is much finer than
the hide of a beef and when split makes
a very fine and soft leather. A few years
ago the market could not get enough of
them. That was in the days when a horse
was a horse, and worth something, before
the electric motor drove him from the street
car service. AS high as s. was paid for
good hide, and it was very poor one that
would not bring $3.50. But as the horse got
cheaper and the advocate of horse flesh as
food was REINFORCED by the butcher who
could palm it off for beef, things slowly be-
gan to change. Prices went down steadily,
until ow 1t takes No. hide to bring ST. 80
while fair ones go for so cents, and the poor
er ones are thrown away. The consumption
| Of horse flesh in Europe, particularly in Par
| is, seems to have increased wonderfully
| Judging from the heavy importation Of
| hides to this country, while in this country
! 1t is said there is not large city where the
! horse is not slaughtered for the market and
| sold either openly or secretly. The meat
canning establishments are also credited
l. with utilizing a great many broken-down
| animals. Thus, while the beef hide market
| has its fluctuations and days of glut and
| scarcity, the horse hide market is complete
| ly stagnated, and there does not seem to be
any possible hope for a revival Of it.

I'll keep 1t myself. IT'S with too much

tered her up to the point OF the credible;
ties, but this likeness softly persuaded her
that she was not so bad looking, after ALL
She came to take It's testimony rather than
that of the ancient mirror in its furnished
gilt frame-which, indeed, gave greenish
hue to her countenance, and perhaps elon-
gated it trif1e. 1t may be that the pho
tograph was so dear to her because, like
a true friend, it took her at her best posi-
bilities instead of her unlovely actually.
She was apt to frown at the mirror and
came as near as she ever did to a smile
in looking at the photograph. The portrait,
unframed, always stood in the same place,
near to the corner of the mantelpiece, next
to the side window Of Miss Drusilla's cham
Der. The wan birch tree, hooking in, must
have witnessed some oddly kind g1ances
pass from her face to it's likeness. The bit
of pasteboard was the sole object Of the
tenderness of the old woman, were this

her better self. Miss Drusillys turrible
proud of her plcter. 1t don't handsome
much, fur's I can see; but I'm glad If she
takes comfort in anything" Mr.. Dunn said
to his wife.
Corinna and Herbert did their best not
to offend the old woman again by sight or
hearing of them. The girl had noticed that
evening when, after the crisis of nerves,
she carried out the aunt's small teapot,
that the decoction had been of extra
strength, and she took heed that in future
it should be of a milder brew. But Aunt
Drusilla was unmitigable; she would hear
nothing in favor of young Jennison; his
grandfather had eaten of the sour grapes
OF litigation, and she would set the grand

1T WAS AN OLD SCORE.

And the Two Social Antagonists Set
tied 1t Without Any Outbreak.
From the Chicago Post.
There was an old score to wipe out, but,
Of course, she did not show that she was
watching for an opportunity to settle it;
that would not have been according to the
usages of polite society. Such little affairs
must be settled with a verbal stiletto when
the opposing party can be caught I'M
awares.
Consequently she smiled very pleasantly
as she remarked that she had met Mrs.
Poorman that afternoon.
"A very pleasant and agreeable little wo-
man." she added.
ooh, yes,'' replied her social antagonist
carelessly. Her husband is in my hus-
bands employ, you know"
$50 she told me; but, really, don't think
that makes her any the less pleasant to
meet
She felt then that she had scored once
but she was not satisfied.
Not at all, not at all" returned her So
c;al antagonist as soon as she had re-
covered little from the shock. But II is
too bad that she does not dress a little
better. Sometimes, you know, she looks
almost shabby"
'Quite true; but she explained that"
'Indeed?''
"Oh, yes. She said that her husbani
could not give her real lace on an imitation
salary"
Thus all the accounts on the old LEDGE
were closed.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN LONDON.

In the Center of the Gold Mining
Region.
From Chambers Journal
johannesburg, the London Of South
Africa, which was nine years ago barren
veldt and eight years ago miners camp,
is now the center of some 100000 inhab-
itants, and increasing about fast as
bricks and mortar can be obtained. 1t Is
situated directly on top of the gold and On
looking down from the high ground above
1t looks to an English eye like huge,
ong-drawn-out mass of tin sheds, with Its
painted iron mine chimneys running in
straight line all along the quartz gold reef
as far as you can see in either direction
The largest or main, reef runs for thirty
miles uninterruptedly. gold bearing and
honeycombed with mines throughout. This,
even were 1t alone, could speak for the
stability and continued prosperity of the
Transvaal gold trade On a mail steamer
arriving only few days ago from the
Cape was said to be between f3OO,0O and
100000 worth Of gold. and the newspapers
show that usually about 100000 worth is
consigned by each mail boat.
AS we enter the town, we find fine and
Well-planned streets, crossed at places with
deep gutters-gullies, rather-to carry off
the water, which is often in the heavy
summer rains deeper than your knees.
crossing these at fast trot, the driver
never drawing rein. the novice is shot
about, in his white-covered, two-wheeled
cab, with its large springs, like pea in a
bladder. Indeed, one marvels at the daint-
lily dressed habitue of the place being
swung through similarly quite unconcerned
ard without rumpling a frill. We pass fine
public buildings. very high houses and shops
somewhat jerry-built, it Is true, and
goodness help them in the event of large
street fire-but now being added to, or re-
placed by larger and more solid buildings.
Indeed, bricks cannot be made fast enough
for the demand both there and in some
of the outlying Transvaal towns where
the gold boom is on. There are lofty
and handsome shops, with most costly con-
| tents, which can vie with London or Paris

PART 1.
When, locking out into the darkness be-
fore the winter dawn, the woman who lived
nearest neighbor to Miss Drusilla Brock
way could see no light in the window of the
house on the hill, she thought that some
thing must have happened. She told her
husband so. lothian, 1 wish't you'd step

So Mr.. lothian Dunn clothed himself

observed, pulling on his blue mittens. Il
don't see what you're SO turrible worried
about, Maria" But he went, with the pro-
. testing tongue and the prompt legs Of a
nan who has many-careful wife.
At Miss Drusilla's every thing was dark
and quiet He waited moment; then he
knocked. IT expect Drusilly'n call me a
fool for my palms, he muttered.
The answer came in a groaning voice:
''Oh. is that you, Mr.. DUNN

Having entered by that way he soon
heard about the misfortune. Miss Dru-

son the evening before.

o'clock, an he generally puts for home.

"what is itw he asked her.

"The old lady has tumbled off her perch"
said Herbert, with scant reverence. And
he set her up again.
He did not see the fright in Corinna's
eyes. All that evening the girl sat with
her shoulders toward the picture; If 1t
sprang down again she did not wish to see
that. Once, indeed 1t seemed to her that
she heard light thing strike on the floor:
but at that moment Herbert was reading
aloud and the car was passing, so that she
could not be certain. When arose to go
away she followed him into the entry with
out looking back.
At all events the following morning she
founds the photograph prone upon the car
pet, and there she let 1t remain. The
strange contest of wills between herself
and the uncanny piece of pasteboard dis
pirited and wearied Corinna Finally she
put the photograph away in the table draw
er and hoped for peace She did not wish
to confide her fear to Herbert; of course, it
was fanciful dread, and he would laugh at
it. Neither would she let the charm of
the parlor be spoiled for him as 1t was
for her
But one evening as she watched for
Herbert's coming, her father, who was
adjusting window-shade roller in her
little parlor, called to her: 'Corinny, where
is aunt'S picter?"
She saw the CLEAN of the car light down
the road, but she must to find the
photograph. Her father took 1t in his
hand.
"a pleasant likeness Looks almost
poorly" he commented. He stood holding
1t, studying the face. Then he heard the
sound of the approaching car. There, run
along, Corinny,'' he babe her, good-natur-
eddy.
And, not to mar the lovers meeting, he
remained just where he was, gazing at the
picture until he judged 1t discreet to ap-
pear and welcome young Jennison. Then
he set Aunt Drusilla in her place and went
out into the entry. Glad to See you, Her
bert" he said, cordially.
But later that evening Comma heard again
the light impact of the pasteboard as it
fell to the floor; and again she would not
look at it, but waited until the wholesome
daylight should companion her, when she
would lift the evil thing and put it in its
own place.
More than once in the days that followed
Corinna thought Of destroying the photo
graph, but that would displease her father.
Moreover, what would be the use, since If
the ghost of Aunt Drusilla really took that
| means of disturbing the lovers, 20 doubt
her unkind spirit could find other ways to
the same end. Corinna decided to bear
these pcstmortem spites as she had borne
the whirns and ratings OF Aunt Drusilla
in the flesh. But the girl began to grow
| pale and thin; there was an anxious puck
er In her pretty. white brow; aner manner
was listless and nervous. Her mother no.
