would be with us for a week. Now,
Tom was a favorite cousin of mine,
and l spent a good deal of time fur
nishing up my little belongings so that
1 might look my very best when ne
came. And then, I vas putting finish
ing touches to Toms room, too, until
the minute he arrived, SO that l really
had no time to talk to Mrs. Knapp or
to listen to her if she wished to talk
to me.
Dear old Tom! How good it was to
see him that day with his blithe ways
and "bonny brown hair!" We talked
and talked till supper was called, and
then we still talked all the way to the
dining room door, and yet we found
time to say nothing about anyone but
ourselves. AS we seated ourselves at
the table I saw Mrs. Knapp's vacant
place (for she was a little late) and
realized that l had not mentioned her
presence in our household.
why, we have a boarder, Tom," l
began, in answer to his look of inquiry
at the empty place. Just as l spoke
she glided in.
why, who ON earth would have
thought of finding you here!" and he
shook her hand in a grasp so hearty
that l could see it was painful to her.
She colored family, and said a little
u~nsteadily, This is, indeed, a surprise,
Mr.. Dixon,'' and l read between the
lines that the surprise was not an al
together agreeable one.
But Tom didn't seem to notice any
thing (most men are dumb about such
things, you know, so l kept my eyes
and ears open, and waited for develop
ments.
At last they came, and in the mos
startling manner.

of this life, mothers cooking amoni

of him in that way!" exclaimed tn
widow, hurrying from the room, in
fit of sobbing.

The Western Union Telegraph COM
pany employs many girls. Their du-
ties are chiefly to file dispatches and
perform such routine Office work as
requires little skill. In spite OF the
fact that the wages paid are very
small, there are always many more
applicants than the company can en-
ploy. This is the way they are met:
Every girl who applies is questioned
as to her age, education, residence.
These facts are filed for future refer
ence, and she is advised to call again
at the end of four months should she
not before that time hear from the
company. The majority of the appli-
cants never call a second time. The
applicant must appear in person, and
this is a test of perseverance, which
is a quality held in esteem by the
company, and other things being equal
is likely to lead to an engagement.

A Denver dispatch declares that the
army worm is creating havoc with the
crops about Burlington in Kit Carson
county, Colorado. The worms have
evinced a propensity never before
charged to them. They have invaded
the residences Of some of the farmers,
and in some cases the houses have
been given up to the invaders. Mr..
Chapman, living near Burlington,
made a fight as long as he could and
then vacated. The worms swarmed in
through the doors and the assault was
repealed for a time with brooms. In
stead of allowing themselves to be
swept out of doors the worms crawled
up the walls. After several days
ceaseless fight, the Crawfords also
gave up and moved to a neighbours
until the visitors could be driven out
by smoke and birthstone. William
Clough, living north of Burlington, has
also given UP his house to the worms.
