chance drew me into conversation.
We became quite friendly, and she
told me that she was going to visit her
son, whom che had not seen for two or
three years. He had written few
weeks before, asking her to visit him
at Louisville, naming a certain hotel.
She arranged her affairs as quickly as
possible and went. At the depot she
was greatly disappointed not to meet
her son, and accompanied her to the
hotel, it being the one 1 was in the
habit OF patronizing. took her to
the parlor and volunteered to find her
son. The clerk had. not seen him, but
gave me letter for the lady. As soon
as she read the first line she tainted,

picking up the letter. Ths first para

An Aberdeen, s. D., special to the

cry.
In the opinion Of another writer, a
woman should cry, provided she does

to swell, all walls should cease, and she
must not sniff. gulp or otherwise. make
an object of herself, II she does all the
pathos Of her crying is gone" The
Idea Is thrown out that ''style" in weep
Ing should be cultivated; for there are
several forms of weeping. "Some
weep alone to their pillows in the dead

because II makes the weeper old and
ugly before her time and does not do
anybody the slightest good.
Then there is the woman who is cry

tune moment That is bad form in
weeping. The "whimpering style, with
a grievance, usually found in the past

thirds of the party. But unfortun.
atelY the eyes that accompanies the

young matron and discovered several
valuable rings on her small, bare
hands.
'dll take those purity rings, lady,
don't get scared, but Just hand 'em
over, quiet like and wen be movin'

The city guest turned sharply
around of that. For in an instant she
hoped that the other man would inter-
fere and nobly dissusde his friend
from his purpose. But he only
winked at her cordially and said to the
other:
ITS too risky, amt it, Tobe"
Tobe,s only reply was to thrust into
his pocket the glittering things which
the young matron had, with trem.
bling relief, drawn from her fingers
and given him; the next moment they
were both striding off through the
wood.
Again that sense of adventure stimu-
lated the city guest with desire to
live mp to the occasion.
You mustn't lose your rings that
way; get up and ride as fast as you
can back to Highland Park and tell
everybody about it, and I'll go on to
Glencoe and do the same"
Her directions were somewhat
vague, but there was nothing for the
young matron to do but obey them,
for already the city guest had reached
the top of the little hill.
Just then the young matron saw the
man who had been teiephoned to come
out and ride to town with them COM

: He was interested at once, and he
was angrily excited when she had

I'm going the wrong way, he said;
'I'll go back and not let the beasts

was tearing swiftly along over the road
they had just come. while she, in her
turn, did as she was directed.

How to Keep Cheese.

Cheese must not be kept in n warm
and dry place. An exchange says: The
best place is a cellar that would be
called dry, which will anyhow have
some moisture in it, and some is nee
essary TO the proper keeping OF cheese.
Darkness is preferable to light, and a
low temperature, but not lower than
81 degrees, is desirable. The cheese
will become mOldy on the outside; the
mold is permitted until the surface is
covered, when II is scraped off and the
cheese is washed with water at SO de-
grees, and all the mold is removed. 1t
is then wiped dry and creased with
sweet oil or butter, until salted, to NIL
the pores in the crust. 1t is thus left
for a few weeks and this is repeated.
In this way the cheese slowly changes
it's character, improving all the time
in flavor and texture. 1t becomes FATTY
by the change of some of the caseine
into a kind of fatty matter, and a pc
culiar mild aroma is produced quite
different from the intOlerable smell OF
the coarse kinds Of semi-putrid cheese
known as Limburger, or some of the
%Overcured German cheese. The curing
described is that practiced with the
Brie and Roqueford cheese, as well as
that finest Of all kinds, the English
Silton. AS a rule we do not give requi-
site attention to curing cheese. and
hence it's want of high quality. The
curing of cheese is a slow process that
requires skilful control or ii becomes
decomposition.
