The day of chiffon Is not over BY
any means. This lovely delicate fab
ric is still used in every possible way.
Over every shade OF color black chiffon
is deemed appropriate. A beautiful
gown OF green satin. cut prinsesse. had

handsome applique pattern in velvet.

sleeves were formed of frillinps edged
with lace.
Pink is so becoming to youth that
1t is much worn. One pretty gown Of

rows Of lace let into the bodice be-

gathered tucks appear below the waist.

Tulle skirts are covered from hem

CHAPTER IX.-(CoNrINuED.)

She ceased her TRADE, and stood gaz-
ing keenly at Marjorie, who sat STILL
listening in wonder. Despite her sharp
tone and brusque manner, there was
tenderness In her tone that could not
be mistaken Then, all at once. with
the abruptness peculiar to her, sne
changed her tone again, and broke into
a low. chuckling laugh
And now hae preachd my SER
mon" she said, with her grim smile,
"hae you had breakfast? Will you TAX
some tea?"
But Marjorie had breakfastcd before
starting. and wanted nothing
Every well. Come and walk IN the
garden"
She led the way from the room, and
Marjorie quietly followed.
Passing out by the rear of the house
cross a lonely court yard, they reached
door in the high wall, and entered
the garden-a. wilderness of fruit trees,
shrubs, and ,currant bushes, sadly in
need of the gardeners hand. Tangled
creepers and weeds grew over the
grassy paths. Here and there were
seats, and in one corner was an arbor
almost buried in umbrage. 1t was a
desoate, Neglected place, but the sun
was shining, and the air was bright
and warm. .
Miss Hetherington took her compan-
ions arm and walked slowly from path
to path. ,...,t r...
The gardens like its mistress" she
said presently, lonesome and neglectit.
Since Waite Henderson died, hae
never empleye&a regular gardener.
But it's bonny in summer time, for a
that. and L like it. wild as it is. l
should like w&el to be buried here,
right in the heart o. the auld place..
She entered the neglected arbor and
sat down YEARLY. Marjorie stood lock-
ing at her in timid sympathy, while
she pursued the dreary current Of her
thought.
Folk say I'm mean, and maybe |
am; but it's no that! I'm the last o.
the Hetheringtons, and it's right and
fitting that the place should waste ava
like mysel'. But mind the time weel
its ND sac lang syne-when it'Awas
gladstone and merry. Everything was
in grand order then, and my father
kept open house to the gentry. Now as
, changed! Whites wonder what will
become O., the auld house when I'm
ta'en. Strangers will come, maybe, and
turn 1t upside doom. What would you
dae. Marjorie Amman, if you were rich
Teddy and mistress O. a place like
this?"
The question came SO abruptly at the
end of the long string of lamentations,
that Marjorie scarcely knew what to
reply. She smiled awkwardly, and re-
.peated the question.
What would l do, Miss Hethering-
tou?"
"Ay. Gomez"
Il cannot tell. but don't think l
could bear to live here all alone" .,n
cay, indeed? Would you sell the
Castle, and pooch the siller?" 7"
mo, Miss. Hetherington. should like
to keep what my forebears had owned.
The lady nodded her head approx
yingly. %FNtf3S'@@ %u

exclaimed. SAY ay; Marjorie, you're
riaht! It's something to belang to the
tliue O. the Hetheringtons, and the auld
'!lairds O. the Moss would rise in their
sraves if they kennel that strangers

RURAL FREE DELIVERY,

For more than seven months the ex-
pertinent of mail delivery by carriers
in agricultural sections of forty-four
states has been in progress from a
certain number Of selected postofices.
In at least one respect this experiment
has been an unqualified success; the
people take a decided interest in 1t,
are benefited by it, and do their utmost
to- facilitate the work Of the carriers.
The farmers urge, and in some cases
demand, the continuance Of the SER
vice.
The delivery is most easily and effec-
tually performed by the aid Of the BIZ
cycle. A wheelman, carrying in bag
swung from his shoulder from thirty
to forty pounds of mail, covers a route
Of about twenty-six miles in from three
to four hours time Two carriers are
employed on such route. Every
farmer along the route usually pro-
vides for the carriers convenience a
box. which is placed near the road or
a post or a tree.
OF course the bicycle can be used on
IL when the roads are good enough to
afford wheeling. AS a general thing,
it is available only after the first
Of April in the spring, and until snow
or mud renders the roads impractical
BILE in the fall Even within this pc
Rod there are intervals when the car
rier can not ride the wheel. At such
times horses and wagons must be re-
serted to, and these increase the cost
and time taken to deliver the mail.
/, Indeed, an authority on the subject
( declares that good roads and rural free
delivery of mail go together, and that
daily delivery can be depended on on
Nv when the road bed is in good condi-
t!cn.
The result of the experiment has al
ready been to further the convenience
and assist the material progress of the
chosen districts in which it has been
tried. II it has also been conspicu-
GUS practical example of the benefit of
good roads, its good effects will ne by
no means limited to those districts. but
will extend to the whole country.

said Of the present situation:
s.1his tariff means the disruption
Of the Republican party. The
taxes imposed by twill be resented
by the people. New England will
certainly go Democratic on the
question of = duty on hides, but
the lesson that will be taught by

DEMOCRACY

The States, in magnificent edi-
torial arraigning Congressman
Broussard, Davey and Meyer for
voting for the Dingley robber tariff
bill, says:
ssTo our mind Democracy is a
religion. No man can be loyal
and true Democrat who believes in
and acts upon its principles with
out being a Christian. James
Russell Lowell, a Christian gentle
man and scholar, once said, re-
vcrentially, that Christ was the
first true Democrat that ever lived,
and he spoke truly. Democracy,
like the teachings of the Master, is
the brotherhood Of man. 1t is the
party under whose sheltering wings
all men can find repose, their in
terests safeguarded and their rights
protected. 1t recognizes no class
es; it neither robs the rich for the
benefit of the poor, nor the poor
for the benefit of the rich. 1t
never in the hypocritical guisc Of
a friend sneaks into the humble
abode of the widow and the orphan
to levy tax toll upon their clothing
and their scanty blankets; it fol-
lows not up the shop-girl or the
seamstress through snow and sleet
to grind tax out Of the coal which
warns her benumed limbs; it
sticks not its devilish paws into
the laborer's pocket to rob him Of
25 to 80 per cent Of his hard-earned
wages, and all this that the Van
derbilts, the Sages, the Hannas,
and the Huntingtons may swell
their mighty hordes. Nay, by the
Eternal. it leaves that foul and
dirty work to the Republican party,
the vile instrument Of bounty
howlers and subsidy grabbers.
Democracy is not a spoiler Of the
people and tyrant; it is wise,
bene6cent and enlightened power
in our government, which looks
not to a cane field here or a tin
plate mandatory there, but to
the seventy millions of the Ameri-
can people,"

Suppose the value Of the cloth
in 3 suit of clothes is $40. Under
the present tariff the single adval-
orem rate of 40 per cent raises the
cost to $l4. The new Mckinley
tariff imposes a tax Of three and
one-half to four times the duty on
wool of the first class, 3 to Is cents
a pound, and 90 per cent adval-
orem, according to the price.
This would raise the cost of the
clothes from $40 to S23 to $40
