admirers. and she felt all the happier
on seeing that.
Later on in the evening Sir haou'
came to her.
"Hildred," he said, in low voice,
/ chow do you like our new acquisition
"She is just what I thought sne
would be-" replied the young countess
"Raoul, hers is the kind OF beauty tha'
the earl loves"
How do YOU know that?" he asked
II have heard him say so very often
Do you think he will admire herr"
"Yes," said Sir Raoul, frankly. "Ev-
cry one must admire her. She is ike
a picture by Greuze. But II you ask
me is she worth any expenditure OF
jealousy, 1 answer just as frankly,
mo"
81 am not jealous" returned Hildred,
quickly. why should you imagine
such a thing?"
II do not say that l imagine it, Hill
dred; l merely warn you against 1t"
answered Sir Raoul.
"Of all people," cried Hildred, those
that are logical are the most difhcult
to talk with"
LET us be thankful then" said Sir
Raoul, that they are rare"
She looked up at him with quiet
smile.
"Raoul," she said, there is one thing
that have remarked about Lady HAM
ilton."
What is that?" he asked.
"She has been here nearly six hours;
but | have not seen her talk to any OF
the ladies'. When we went into the
drawing-room, she sought the most
comfortable chair, and she leaned back
in it with smile at me. Travelling al
ways fatigues me, she said, as she
closed those lovely blue eyes OF hers;
and do you know that she never opened
them again until the gentlemen came
in"
"She did not want to waste her words
and smiles on ladies'" said Sir Raoul.
81 know l am very ignorant; but do
you call that good breeding, Sir Ra-
QUIZ"
my dear Hildred, woman may be
very elegant, coquettish and fascinat-
ing without being quite what you call
well bred"
"If had my choice" said Hildred,
81 would rather be well bred than beau
tiful."
What would you say If told you
that you were both?" he asked.
laughter Then she thought to herself
that Sir Raoul was very distinguish
ed-looking man. Could it be possible
that he was flirting with Lady Cara
ven?
There must be no encroaching on her
privileges. No one must monopollze
distinguished men like Sir Raoul when
she was present. She must give the
dark-eyed young countess lesson, and
the best way in which to achieve her
She laughed rich, musical, joyous
laugh that caused Lady Hamilton to
raise her blue eyes to see what was
going on. She smiled sweetly, as
though sympathizing with the happy

"She does not like me-" thought tho
earl; land she has little reason 10
He was frank enough to own that.
The dance ended, he led his wife TO-
a seat, and then left her with bow.
She was never quite the same again.
AS 1t needs but small match to fire
train Of gunpowder, SO 1t needed but
little to awaken her love into keen,
quick, passionate life. That one dance
with him had done it. She loved him
with her whole heart, and the sudden
ness with which that conviction
flashed over her bewildered her. She
sat quite still, the soft, sweet music,
the ripple of the little fountain, the
subdued murmur, all mingling in her
ears-fowers, lights, jewels, fair faces,
all dazzling her eyes-and she said to
herself: II love my husband" The
whole world seemed changed to her.
Shyly, timidly she looked at him. He
was talking to a group of ladies, his
handsome face all animation, his tall.
well-built figure all grace. He was a
man to be proud ola man to love.
But he must never know about this
love of hers-this newly-found pre-
cious treasure. He despised her for
her want of noble birth; she must
keep her love as secret as the grave.
That increased the distance between
them. She was so fearful that he
should think her unwomanly, so afraid

love, that she took refuge in cold, shy
proud avoidance. There were no more
rides or drives to see the buildings and
improvements; there was no more
quiet letter-writing in the library.
When Lord Caraven wanted Hildred,
she had some gentle, ready excuse, and
with house full of visitors 1t was
difficult to determine whether those ex-
cuses were genuine or not. But from

While the earl enjoyed the presence
of his beautiful guest-enjoyed her CO.
quetries, laughed and was amused at
her firtations, all in sheer idleness
and good-humor-his dark-eyed, beau
tiful wife was building up theory Of
her own, and it was that her husband

Raising Coffee in Iowa.

William Cooper. of Lehigh. has
been experimenting with coffee on his
farm near that place, and is satisfied
that coffee can be raised in Hamilton
and Webster counties to the advantage
OF farmers in Hamilton and Webster
counties. Last season was his first
test made of the matter, and coffee
planted in June rlpened in September,
in plenty of time to be out of the way
of the frost. Last year he planted only
a small plot of coffee, but this year he
intends to put in many acres of coffee,
and If he meets with the success he is
looking for his crop will be worth con-
siderable money.-Webster City Tri-

PREVENTION.


Washington. April 19.-After one of the
hardest-fought battles between the two
houses known In many years. congress- at
an early hour Tuesday morning, came to an
agreement upon the most momentous ques-
ton it has dealt with in third of century.
The Cuban resolution was passed There
were many roll calls in both houses, and
each body held tenaciously for its own reso-
luton. The conferees had great difficulty
in agreeing. The first conference showed
a determination on the part of the house
not to yield single point, and it was only
after long consultations with the house
leaders that they agreed to allow the little
words ARE and' IL the first section of
the senate resolution. which declares that
the people of Cuba are, and of right ought
to be free and independent. The resolu-
ton. as finally adopted. is that reported

HE WILL NOT SLEEP INDOORS.
It Has Been 20 Years Since Westheld
Was In Red.

Az ado been ~ ears since We6t0el0
Was In Bed.
Joseph Westfeld, now in the deten-
ton hospital at Chicago, has not slept
in bed for 20 years. Sometimes he
has hung by his chin to the top rail Of
tall fence; sometimes he has hooked
one leg over the limb of tree and
dangled somnolently; sometimes he has
put his heels high against the side Of
barn and slept on the nape of his
neck; sometimes he has stood in rain
barrel with water up to his knees and
dreamed Of peace and plenty; some
times he has contented himself with the
dry ground, but only when the rocks
were sharp and numerous. He IL go
years old, and has not had an ache or
3 pain since 1878.
He wandered into the town Of Bloom
yesterday and began to explain his
strange doctrine to a crowd on the
main street. Some people who did not
know any better had him sent to the
hospital, where he will be quizzed about
his mental condition. AS Westfeld says,
they "have never tried sleeping on the
teeth OF harrow when the thermom-
eter was below zero, so how do they
know 1t Is not pleasant and good for
man?" At the hospital he fought VIC
lently against being placed in one Of
the cots, but succumbed to superior
force. A. 1t is, one of the attendants is
forced to sit by him night and day.
He begs piteously that few bricks
OF cobblestones be put under him, but
the request has been refused. In con-
sequence he suffers from insomnia.
When Westheld was ordered to re-
move his clothing, he assented cheer
fully, being proud of his wealth in the
matter of garments. He first took of
an immense battered Derby hat. IN
der that was a crown of straw, then
crown of felt, then crown of gray
cloth, then silk skull cap. Then he
removed slowly three coats, four vests,
five pairs of trousers and three pairs Of
socks. His clothes made larger pile
than he did.
II expect to get out of here soon"
he says, "and go back to living like
white man. Nobody knows what it is
until they have slept IA hours with a
hoe handle for a pillow and some hoop
poles for bed. That is why like In
diana. They have plenty of hoe handles
down there, and hoop poles"
