He took her hand in his, and, bend
ing over 1t, raised her fingers to his
| lips.
The master of the Castle was the
first to begin hostilities. One day,
toward the end of the three months
visit, Irma came into the drawing
room to find the whole party awaiting
her arrival, and in an instant she per-
ceived that something was wrong
Frau Won Wolde had been shedding
tears, the old Counts brow was cloud
ed with anger, and Albrecht l-Irma
hardly dared to look at him, so
changed was his aspect. 1t was too
clear that the termination OF the
pleasant companionship of the last few
weeks was to be war.
'My dear Baroness Irma, said the
Count, advancing to meet his young
guest with ceremonious politeness, 81
am exceedingly pleased to see you.
Your visit here has given me great
satisfaction. You honored this house
with your presence, with the full con-
sent of your guardian and my esteemed
cousin, Frau Won Wolde. 1 had hoped,
not without grounds, that the friend
ship between you and my heir was
gradually ripening into deeper and
more lasting feeling. The alliance is
one which must give satisfaction to
all interested in our families. Imagine
my distress on hearing to-day from
my nephew that you have refused his
proposal of marriage"
Irma looked toward Count Albrecht
something that she read in his wrath.
full mien made her hesitate as she an
swered: 'Tt is quite true; we are
friends, and nothing more"
at cannot be, my dear young lady,
that so young a maiden should have
given away her preference without
the consent or knowledge of her
guardian? Answer me candidly: are
your affections already engaged2
The color surged into lrma's cheeks
and left them pale again, She glanced
at Frau Won Wolde. There was no
help for her there. "This is a aues.
tion which you have no right to ask,
Count Reitzenberg, and which refuse
to answer. l must beg you to ex-
cuse me-"
"The Baroness Buchow is right /"
burst IN Albrecht. "She has suffered
enough at our hands already. She
shall not be thwurted in her will. If
she honors me with her friendship, 1
accept it gratefully. Listen to me, my
uncle, ] refused to be party to your
scheme"
He rose and held the door wide
open. There was no smile on his face
now his eyes we're full of trouble as
they rested on hers. He did not offer
to take her hand in farewell. He stood
there in mute distress as she passed by
"a fair, girlish figure in her white
dress, her laces and blue ribbons-and
she passed him without word. The
truce between them was over.

His good humor was irresistible (;
she burst into a merry laugh.
For another half hour the rejected
suitor remained in conversation with
the heiress, and at the end of that
time they, too, had q plot. Albrecht
was to remain at the castle, he and the
Baroness Trina we're to pretend to be
on amicsble terms, and the two con-
spirators (the Count and the. chaper-
onel were not to learn until the last
day of the visit expired that their
hopes had failed.

as little irksome TO you as possible" "
explained the heir of Reitzenberg (;
"and we can behave as il there we're
no enmity between u.s..
Eyes" there was still little doubt
in her voice and manner), II think
that l can trust you"
Come" he said gently, "Baron-

SOME SHORT PERSONALITIES.

The queen of Roumania has received
the honorary degree of doctor of philos-
ophy from the University Of Buda-Pesth
by permission of Emperor Francis Jo-
seph.
Mr.. Septimus Winner, the composer
OF the popular song, "Listen to the
Mocking Bird" written in 1850, cele-
brated his golden wedding Novem-
Der 25.
The prince of Wales has inherited
from his mother the faculty of really
interesting himself, not feigning inter-
est, in whatever is brought before his
notice. It is said by those intimate
with the queen that she never allows
herself to look bored. Whoever may
be introduced to her has her very best
attention for the time being.
Verdi visits frequently the home for
aged musicians who were connected in
any way with the stage, now build
ing in Milan. To this home Verdi pro-
poses to devote the greater part of his
fortune. The building will cost over
100000. There will be room for about
100 persons. BY his will yearly In

FLORAL HINTS.

You will find COW manure, old and
rotted, the best fertilizer for roses.
Sword ferns need a soil of leaf mold,
with a little salt mixed in. Keep them
In shade, water we'll and provide good
drainage.
western exposure for plants is not
desirable one; a southern one is best,
An eastern one is quite as good for
many kinds of plants, but have your
plant windows face south when pos
sible.
After Towering and as soon as the
foliage ripens let the soil in which
your freesias have grown become dry
and remain so. Do not disturb the
roots in any way until it is time to start
the plants into growth again. Keep the
pots in dry, frost-proofroom. f.
Do not allow yourself to be imposed
upon by ignorant persons who tell you
that ito turn plant in the window will
prevent it's Towering. It is absolutely
necessary that plants should be turned
from thine to time in order to make them
shapely, and turning them in no way in
terfeTes with their Towering.
The violet is not an easy plant for
the amateur florist to attempt to grow
for profit. AS conditions differ so under
which it must be grown would advise
all who care to attempt it's culture to
visit their local florist and learn from
him about tae soil, method of planting,
protection, and so forth, needed in that
particular locality .-Ladies' Home Jour-

Postage Stamps.

The design of the stamps 'engrav-
ed on steel. and IN, printing, plates are
used on which 200 stamps have been
engraved. Two men are kept busy
at, work covering these with colored
inks, and passing them to.a man aud
girl who are equally busy printing
them with large rolling hand presses.
Three of these little squads are en-.
ployed all the time. After the small
sheets. of paper containing 200 print
ed stamps have dried enough they are
sent into another room and gummed.
The gum made for this purpose is
peculiar composition. made of the
powder Of dried potatoes and other
vegetables, mixed with water. After
having been again dried-this time
on little racks famed by, steampower
for about an hour they are very
carefully put between sheets OF paste
board and pressed in hydraulic
presses capable of applying a weight
Of 1900 tons. The next thing is to
cut the sheets in two, each sheet, of
course, when cut, containing 100
stamps. THIS is done by girl with
large pair of shears, cutting by
hand being preferred to that by ma
chinery, which would destroy too
many stamps. They are then passed
to another squad of w"-kers, who
perforate the paper between the
stamps. Next they are pressed once
more and then packed and labeled
and slowed away, to be sent out to
the various Offices when ordered. If
a single stamp is torn or in any way
muilated, the whole sheet of 200
stamps is burned. No less tnan 5O,-
600 are said to be burned every week
from this cause. The greatest care is
taken ia counting the sheets Of
stamps, to guard against pilfering by
the employees. Ashton Record.

She Knocked Out Joe Harris.

One Of the high school girls rushed
into Eeinhart's store the other day
and said: at is my desire to obtain
a pair of circular elastic appendages
capable OF being contracted and es-
panded by means OF oscilating bur-
nished steel appliances that scintillate
like gGstening dew drops and which
are universally utilized by up-to Cate
femininitv for retaining In position
the habilament of the lower extrem-
tiles, which deicacy preveats me

This iGtle speech completely
knocked out Joe Harris. He scratch
ed his head for some time and finally
muttered to himself, @She wants
pair OF garters." The young lady
overheard his mutterings and blush
ingly replied that he was correct.
The garters were bought aud paid
for and the young lady left the store.
Joe stood as in dream and watched
Der until she passed out of his sight
around the corner.

cattle in charge. Ere 1ch gave or.

ing to the herd when he met a man

The country is safe. When as bla-

York Evening Post comes around
enough to deal in moderation with the
south as to anything, and particularly
as to negro lynchings, it looks as if the
political millennium was just ahead
when peace and good will would -four

1T is easy for a fair-minded per-
son to understand the wave of passion
