But when they came to the point
where the old trail left the highway,
Dorothy decided that she would prefer
to go on to the mine with him. The
colonel looked family surprised, but he
made no objection, merely explaining
that he should have to go below; they
had got the water out of the lower lev
els and he wanted to take look around
before leaving; but he would not de-
tain her more than a few minutes.
''Will you wait in the shafthouse or
outsider" he asked, with more of
courtesy in the tone than he was in the
habit of according her.
81 think will go up in the shade of
the pine trees" she indifferently re-
turned, but with little flush upon her
face, which, if the colonel noticed, he
was far from understanding. He helped
her from her horse, and she strolled
away up the hill, stopping in purpose,
less fashion to pluck flower here and
there, until he was out of sight, when
she suddenly quickened her pace, maE
ing for cliff above. From that height
she could look down upon the Mascot
buildings, herself unseen. ''It is for

little catch in her breath, her face grow

But it happened that she" had started
for camp that morning, bent upon see

over the hill, he saw her as she rode up

VILLAGES AND HOGPENS,
a Source of Disease and Injury to
Country Towns.

1t is really remarkable what a part
the hog-pen plays in the well-being
and prosperity of the country. There
are in the United States $4,000 or 4O, 900
villages of different sizes, and the most
of them have hog-pens and typhoid
fever The connection is uniform and
direct. The hog-pen supplies the cause,
and the fever, or some disease closely
allied to it. is. the effect.
1t has taken long while to convince
even the most intelligent settlements
of the value of scientific sanitation. and
in the large cities it is constant fight
to abate nuisances and compel people
to observe ordinary laws Of cleanliness
But in the villages it is much worse
The populations cannot see the neces-
sity of the newfangled notions, as they
call them. and any interference of a
board of health is an outrage and an
impertinence. We know of villages
where the doctors have been laboring
in vain for years to eliminate the hog
pen. Their efforts are ridiculed. and
the hog-pens and the fevers. which
would never exist but for the unclean-
illness, remain.
After awhile the people of these small
places will see the Importance of diff
ferent policy. When they realize that
the existence of hog-pens in a COM
munity will keep away all settlers
whose presence would be desirable, and
when they see their property depreciat-
l. l.
live in villages where no attempt is
made to prevent disease, but everything
is done to encourage it, they may find
it to their advantage to send the hogs
to the country, and then the health and
welfare of the whole nation will be inn

WHEN HE TAUGHT SCHOOL.
He Made a Ride for Reputation Once,
and Here's the Story.

While they were discussing the melee
in the school board the head of big
manufacturing establishment was
moved to relate his experience:
II was once pedagogue myself. l
had resolved to do something worth
while in the business world, and having
no capital except what was wrapped
up in my person, taught school to get
a starter. | had some advanced stu
dents and had to skirmish in order to
keep up with the procession. One day
the whole class was Stumped by an
arithmetical problem, and so was l.
In order to gain time for myself came
the old dodge of telling them how much
better it would be if they would work
out the solution for themselves, and L
gave them another day.
THAT night, behind locked doors and
closed blinds. | worked in fear and per-
spiration. From the bottom of my
trunk | took a key to the arithmetic,
but even with that aid l failed to mas
ter the problem. BY midnight | was
desperate. 1t would never do to let
the scholars, the parents and the whole
cruel world know that was not equal
to my position. But it's not in my
makeup TO surrender while there's a
fighting chance.
'.At the town ten miles away there
was loyal and highly-educated friend
of mine. He would help me and say
nothing. 1t was one of the bitterest
January nights l ever knew. But L
slipped to the barn, appropriated a
horse, made Il ride more notable than
many of those immOrtalized in song
or history, frOze my ears and toes, and
had my vocal powers reduced to a
whisper.
but you should have heard my whis-
pered explanation of that problem and
my regrets that none of the pupils had
mastered it."-Detroit Free Press.
