Sues the Wabash.

T. P. Hamilton and James M. Over
felt have brought suit on three counts
against the Wabash Railway company
for $154.59 damages, which the
plaintiffs allege was caused by the
negligent manner of shipping 271 head
of lambs to Chicago in July, 1897.
The plaintiffs, in their petition, say
that they loaded and had ready for
shipment 271 lambs by 8 o'clock q. m.
on July 10, 1897, and that the railroad
company took them in charge at once
and placed them in a train for Chlca-
go. Under ordinary circumstances
the lambs would have been delivered
at the Union Stock Yards in Chicago
at 8 a. m. on July 10th, but, the plain
tiffs allege, owing to the negligence of
the company the lambs did not arrive
at their destination until 1880 p. M,
July Goth, that being too late for that
days market. They claim that the
stock lost five pounds per head by
shrjnkage, for which they ask $40. 40;
for their weak languid condition,
s31.75, and by.reason of the fact that
the market was % cents lower on the
hundred than on the preceding day,
$57. 80. They ask to be allowed 6 per
cent interest from July 20, 1897.

CowhIde, CaIfskin, and Sheepskin, and the
Uses to which They Are Chiefly Put.
White cowhide has long been used
for various purposes, though its place
has now been taken to considerable
extent by other and cheaper feathers.
It is used, for example, In making sus-
pender tips, and its use In making mill
tary belts is familiar. For this pur-
pose it is made up with lie flesh side
out, and the belts are whitened as oc-
casion may require with chalk or pipe
clay. White calfskin is more extens-
lively USED than white cowhide. White
calf Is used for fine and costly work In
book binding, 1t may be for gift books,
and sometimes for prayer books. White
calf is also used for suspender tips.
More extensively used than either
white cowhide or white calfskin are
the white sheepskins. White sheep
skin is used also for suspender tips,
and far covering trusses and other ar
ticles of metal, and for the trimmings
of shoes II is used for book binding.
especially for the binding Of medical
books, in which use 1t is first sprinkled

CHAPTER XXXVIII.-(Continued)
1t was hard to so about her daily
tasks-to smile, to talk, to look as
though no sorrow engrossed her-Dut
,Hildred did 1t. Her husband found
out, too, quite by accident, that she
rose early every morning In order that
she might go on with the work that
she had begun. Her letters, the plans
the wants of the tenants, were all at
tended to before the real householo
day began. He was pleased when he
found 1t out; it was part of her noble
character to be true to her purposes;
but he never dreamed tina. love for him
drove sleep from her eyes, as 1t had
already driven peace from her heart
he would never have believed 1t.
So they went on through the bright
autumn days, playing at cross pur-
poses, each believing simply and i'm
plicitly in the dislike of the other
With the days her love grew greater.
There was, indeed, something most low
ing in the earl now. While she Stunned
and avoided him, she would have
given the whole world for one kindly
word, for one loving glance from him.
She watched him with dim, passionate
eyes. At the sound Of his footsteps
her heart throbbed, and her pulse
quickened at the sound Of his voice.
Her whole heart went out to him. He
was her husband and she loved him
with wonderful love, although she
showed none of it.
With her keen passionate love grew
her jealousy. 1t was not in Lady Ham
ilton's nature to pass by the admira-
ton of man like the handsome earl.
He must admire her. Had he not done
so spontaneously, she would have won
it from him. All homage was accept
able to her-his particularly so, be-
cause he was a handsome man, and
because he had a beautiful, dark-eyed
wife who never looked quite comfort
able when they were talking together
two little incentives which Lady
Hamilton profited by, and which af-
forded amusement to her. What was
nothing but sheer mischief, sheer love
of admiration, was death almost to the
proud young wife who counted every
smile that her husband gave her.
She smiled sadly to herself one day,
saying:
Now I know the meaning of the
words:
"T have gone mad-I love him-let
me die"

had been so occupied with her efforts
as regarded her husband, her plans of
reform, her schemes for the benefit of
others, that she had not given much
thought to her own position as a wife
whose husband made no pretense of
loving her. The knowledge Of her real
status came to her now with a keen
sense of intolerable pain, yet she
would have borne its bitterness but
for the fear lest the brilliant, beauti-
full blonde should become as wise as
herself. That would have been intol-
cradle.
A trifiing circumstance brought Hit
dred's jealousy to climax. The earl
was going out in a great hurry one
morning when he found that the but
ton of his glove was hanging by a
thread. Lady Hamilton, who was en-
gagged on some kind of fancy work,
with needle and silk in her hand, sat
by. He went to her at once.
Lady Hamilton, be kind to me
give this one stitch" She laughingly
complied; she would not let him re-
move the glove.
"You need not take that trouble"
she said-"I can do it as 1t is"
With pale face and darkening eyes
the young countess watched the little
scene. Why had he gone to her for
this small service? Why should she
hold her husbands hand and look with
laughing eyes into his face? She could
not endure 1t. She went up to them.
II thank you, Lady Hamilton" she
said-"I will do that for Lord Cara
ven"
Lady Hamilton looked up in amaze
ment, but there was something in the
young countess face which made her
yield at once. She drew back coldly.
Lord Caraven asked me to do it,"
she sais.
I'm all probability he had forgotten
that l was here" she returned, in a
high, clear voice.
The earl, like a prudent man, re-
NAMED quite silent. He looked at his
wife's face as she bent over the glove,
and he saw something there that,
shrewd as he was, puzzled him. Why
was she so pale? What was 1t that
shone and cleaned in the dark eyes?
Why did the proud lips tremble?
What was in her face? He gaZed in
silent wonder. She had finished.
The button will not come of again, .
she declared.
II hope not" said Lady Hamilton,
In a peculiar tone of voice; land, II 1t
does, do not ask me to help you again,
Lord Caraven."
