THE MOON TRAIL.

Ihe moon trail shineth across the sea.
And stretcheth of to a far countree
an the realms % the old. romantic moon.
where evening Ii morning. and midnight
noon!
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail,
Each happy two with tiny SAIL
IN silver waste with stars above.
And nothing to do but love and love.
The great. kind moon. like a sphere of
light,
Swings down to the rim of the sea each
night
Finding ever some bark with a happy
crew,
BRINGING all the world though it brings
but two.
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail;
Soft breezes are signing to fill your sail;
There are stars beneath and stars above.
And nothing to do but love and love-
The moon trail lighteth the sea of life
For lover and maiden, lover and wife,
ana IL S JOY to sail down it's shimmery way
lust two together, forever and ave
Then lovers away on the bright moon
trail;
Each happy twain with tiny sail,
For there's naught SO sweet in Heaven
above
Or the earth beneath, as to love and love-

"How do you know all this?" he
asked.
Never mind that, and you mustn't
ask how / know what I am now going
to tell you, but you must believe it i'm
plicitly and act upon it promptly.
Longworth is fooling both you aud
Kenyon. He is making time, so that
your option will run out; then he will
pay cash for the mine at the original
price, and you and Kenyon will be left
to pay two-thirds of the debt incurred.
Where is Kenyon?"
He has gone to America"
That's good. Cable him to get the
option renewed. You can then try 20
form the company yourselves in Lew
don. If he can't obtain renewal, yall
have very little time to get the cash ts-
gether, and if you are not able to d .
that then you lose everything. This
is what l came to tell you, although
have been long time about it. Now

She rose, gathered her belongings
from the table, and stood with the para
sol pressed against her. Wentworth
came around to where she was stand
ing, his face paler than usual, probably
because of the news he had heard. OnH
hand was grasped tightly around one
wrist in front of him. He felt that he
should thank her for what she had
done, but his lips were dry and some
how the proper words were not at his
command.
She, holding her fragile lace-fringed
parasol against her with one arm, was
adjusting her long neatly-ftting glove,
which she had removed before tea. A
button, one of many, was difficult t.
fasten, and as she endeavored to put it
in its place her sleeve fell away, show
ing round white arm above the glove
"You see," she said, a little breath
lessly, her eyes upon her glove, sit is a
very serious situation, and time is of
| great Importance"
II realize that"

everything now, when you have had SO
much trouble and worry"

"Of course it is. You are of too trust

picious, then you wouldn't be triclled
as you have BEEN"
"No. The trouble is l have been zoo
suspicious, but that is past. l won't
be again"
"What are you talking about?" she
said, looking quickly up at him
"Don't you know you'll lose the mine

Mozart, the Prodigy.

In one Of the peaceful arts, we have
the astonishing example of the Austri-'
an musician and composer, Mozart,
This lad was what we call a prodigy,
He was the son of the bandmaster' tn
the archbishop of the city of Salzburg-
At four years Of age-and you will adj .
nit that is truly youDg-he played the
violin with the greatest ease, with an
expression really wonderful. He also
composed those old-fashioned dances,
so quaint and sweet, called minuets.
besides other simple pieces. At seven
he made tour of Europe. giving con
certs, playing before kings and queens.
and surprising the whole musical world.
Then, when he was about -, he began
to write operas, and SO original and
delightful were these that he may be
said to have founded school or man
per of writing musical compositions of
a dramatic nature. After having done
the work of two lifetimes, he died at the
early age of 39.--Arthur Hoeber, in ST.

The Page Wire Fence In Bourbon.
MILLERSBURG, KY, May

MILLERsBURG, KY, May 4, go.
MEssRs. MILLER & COLLINS, Agents,
Paris, Kentucky.
Gentlemen Il have had the Page
Woven Wire Fence on my farm for
about eighteen months and am well
pleased with it. 1t has proved to be all
that is claimed for it. It turns all kinds
of STOCK and is as tight as it was the day
it was put up and has stood some severe
tests. A horse of one of my neighbors
fell across the fence a few months ago
and was not taken off for several hours
but when taken OF the fence went back
to its place all right with the exception
of a few staples. During the storm Of
April Gath goOd-sized tree was blown
across the fence and bent it down to the
ground. AS soon as the tree was cast
off the fence went up all right and was
as good as ever with the exception Of
one broken wire and few staples out
of place.
am 80 well pleased with the fence
that I am going to put up more of il
right away. Respectfully,

They-they seemed to me like tot,

their backs was the announcement of
"A play that was making all London
roar with laughter-the awful comedy
and tragedy of it! Well, / simply

side street and cry like the little fool

Jennie paused and tried to laugh, but
the effort ended in a sound suspiciously
like a sob, and she dashed her hand,
with quick Impotence, across her
eyes, from which Wentworth had never
taken his own, watching them dim as
the light from the window proved too
strong for them, and finally fill as she
ceased to speak. Searching Intellectual
ly about her dress for a handkerchief,
which lay on the table beside her para
sol, unnoticed by either, Jennie went
on, with some difficulty:
We'll, these poor, forlorn creatures

But the young man stood where he
was, in spite of the dangerous sparkle
that lit up his visitors wet eyes, A
frown gathered on his brow.
Jennie" he said, slowly, ARE you
| playing with me again?"
The swift anger that blazed up in her
face, reddening her cheeks, dried the
| tears.
How dare you say such thing to
me?" she cried, hotly. ''Do you fattsr
yourself that because 1 came here to
talk business, l have also some personal
interest in you? Surely even your self
conceit doesn't run so far as that"
Wentworth stood silent, and Miss
Brewster picked up her parasol, scat

that Wentworth, in spite of his help
less anger, smiled grimly.
Jennie raised her head, but the sight
of his perplexed countenanoe was too
much for her, and it was some time be-
fore her merriment allowed her to
speak. At last she said:
Wouldn't you like to take me by the
shoulders and put me out of the room.
Mr.. Wentworth?
"Pd like to take you by the shoulders

"Ah! that would be taking liberty,
and could not be permitted. We must
leave punishment to the law, you know,
although 1 do think man should be

man, earnestly, leaning over the table

what Marco Polo Did.

He was the first traveller to trace
a route across the whole length OF
Asia, says one of his biographers, ode
scribing kingdom after kingdom that
he had seen with his own eyes" He
was the first traveller to explore the
deserts and the lowering plains of Per.
STA, to reveal China with it's mighty
rivers, its swarming population, and
its huge cities and rich manufactures
the first to visit and bring back &C.
counts of Thibet, Laos, Burmah, Siam,
Cochin China, Japan, the Indian Archi-
pelago, Ceylon, Farther India, and the
Andaman Islands; the first to give ans
distinct account of the secluded Christ
ian empire of Abyssinia; the first to
speak even vaguely of Zanzibar, NADIA
gascar, and other regions in the mystic
rious south, and of Siberia and the Are
tic ocean in the terrible and much
dreaded north. Although centuries
have passed since young Marco Pole
grew to mans estate while treading hio
dangerous way among these distant
lands, we must still look back to his dis
coveries for much that we know about
these countries; for we have learned
nothing new of many of them since his
time.-Noah Brooks, in st. Nicholas.

PAGE COILED SPRING WOVEN
WIRE FENCE.
MILLER & COLLINS, Agents,
PARIS, KENTUCKY.

This is a smooth fence that will turn
any kind of stock. 1t is made from the
best hard steel drawn specially for the
purpose.
HOW 1T IS MADE.
The large steel wires forming the
horizontal bars are first coiled around q
inch rod, thus practically becoming
COILED SPRINGS their entire length.
These are securely tied together by 10
cross bars to the rod. The cross bars
are best quality of annealed wire
(galyanized), wrapped three times
around each horizontal bar.
ITS ADVANTAGES.
Being SELF REGULATOR II Is ALWAYS
ready for business, Stacks up for 80
below as cheerfully as it takes new
grip for 80 in the shade, gently, but
firmly persuades runaway team TO
reconsider its action. An unruly bull
is safe as canary in its cage; it saith
unto the festive hos, ''thus far shalt
thou GO" The fierce wind and drifting
snow pass by and it heeds them not.
There is no terror in the locomotive
spark. The trespasser is not led into
temptation, and the rail stealer's ''oc-
cupation is gone" The hired man and
the tagging tramp, alike scorn it protfeI-
ed shade. Like the model housewife,
when well supported, it is always neat
and tidy.
POSTS.
THREE POSTS to the 100 FEET.
Economy is not our sole object IN
placing posts for farm fence at the un-
usual distance of 20 to 80 feet apart.
Farmers say, 1.-THE closer the posts this
better the fence" That may apply to
common fences, but depending largely
on its elasticity we PREFER the long
panel. For cemeteries, lawns, yards,
etc., they should of course be nearer, 10
to 20 feet is not Objectionable.
We have completed land are now
building) lot of this fence for Bourbon
farmers and you can examine into its
merits for yourself.
Estimates cheerfully furnished. You
may put up the posts and we will build
the fence, or we will contract to do the
whole job. IF you are needing any
fence, see us. We will save you money
and still build you the best fence made.

Ingenious French Beggar.

An ingenious French beggar named
Dumas, having hidden out of sight his
arms and legs, and having provided
himself with a letter from the mayor
OF his ACCOMPLISHMENT recommending
him as a worthy object of charity, en-
joyed himself thoroughly among the
charitable persons of Paris. Bread
cakes, groceries, meat and money
were showered on him, and he farce
sumptuously. But a certain grocer in
the Rue de Montreuli, finding Dumas
was becoming something of nuisance
gave him in charge one day, and he was.
brought before the Judge. He resisted
violently the usual attempt to search
him, and not without reason, for on the
search being made there was found or
him nothing very nefarious, but mere
ly the ordinary complement of legs and
arms in proper working order. To send
man to prison for having two legs
seemed unreasonable, but it had to be
done.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
