Supper was well-nigh over when the
barking of dogs announced late ar

That's father!" cried young Jack.
Il thought he'd be here tonight. I'll
run down to the huts and meet him !"
and off he darted in the direction of
the sounds.
After the first outburst of welcome

been asked, and Mr. Hall had some

And now that l have told you all

Yes, father. Nothing much to

yet whether you got the married

We'll. | have, and ! haven't" re-
piled Mr.. Hall, leisurely lighting his
pipe. 1T is the hardest job In the
world to get hold of anybody. I saw
several couples In town, but they were
all SO precious Independent that It
made me quite savage. One lot would
not come SO far into the bush. an

But what did you mean by you

Fertile Lands of Colorado.

The traveller who visits Colorado for the
the opportunities the state affords in agri-
cultural pursuits. The mineral wealth Of
the state, with its many famous mines,
seems to have become iixeu in the minds OF
strangers, crowding out all know edge OF
her wonderfully fertile soil. Little thought
is ever given to the 12,00g miles of irriga-
cation canals that have been constructed,
and the 2 900, 600 acres Of land which have
thus far been made productive. Yet, out
ont of 81 exhibits from Colorado at the
worlds fair. eighty one special premiums
were awarded, covering all kinds Of fruit
and produce. The wheat exhibit attracted
wide attention, and twenty-five awards
were given it alone the largest number
received by any one state in the Union.
The fruit industry has reached 1000, 900
year and is yet in its infancy. Sugar beet
culture is plohtabl- industry. The min
eral wealth Of the state, which leads all
other states in the Union in tho output Of
gold and silver, does net compare with her
agricultural wealth A handsome and pro-
iusely illustrated pamphlet, entitled The
Fertile Lands of Colorado has Just been
issued by the passenger department of the
Denye4-tsl Rio Grande railway, and gives
detailed information of the lands and their
location, and may be had upon application
to S. K. Hooper, general passenger agent,

Il do hope that your father will
come home tonight. He said he would
be ten days perhaps 1t is now a fort
night since he left"
Il wonder whether he will have
managed to get cook" said Mary,
as she sat on the edge of the veranda
at her mothers feet "All this cook
ing Is quite wearing you out. You
ought not to have to do it."
Il shall be all right after a good
nights rest, and If only your father
would come back! Can you see moth
ing of him, Mary?"
No, not sign said the girl, 'but
here is Jack, sooner than / expected
Now let us go into supper, and begin"
A stalwart sunburnt youth strobe
up the garden path, and tossing his
cabbage-tree hat upon a chair, threw
himself at full length upon the grass
plat.
Well, Polly" he exclaimed, I'm
Just baked, | can tell you I wish the
governor would hurry home. Leav-
ing me all the shearing to look after
is no catch! All this broiling after
noon I've been drafting out strangers
and working just like a niger"

said Mary reproachfully. And she
doesn't grumble, like you do"

his feet and throwing his arms around
his mothers neck II bet no angel
ever cooked dinner for seventy men,
with the thermometer at hundred and
ten in the shade. without a murmur!
oh, I'm not to be irreverent, mother?
Well, l won't to please you; but upon
my word it was a shame OF that brute
Johnson to go off at a moments mo-
tice. just at the very busiest time"
Never mind, Jack" interrupted
Mrs. Hail. as she leaned her head back
over the rail on the lounge-ehair and
clasped her hands behind her neck.
Don't talk so much, but look out with
your young eyes and see If your father
is not coming in the distance"
"Or, in other words" said Jack,
laughing" Sister Ann, sister Ann.
do you see some one coming? No,
mother, no one-neither BIuebeard nor
the governor. Talking of blue, won
der what our new Gordon bleu will be
like. Drink like a fish and swear like
trooper, | suppose, as they all do"
Perhaps father won't have got one

my hand at cooking. | stood with my
nose close to the meat safe today to
break myself into the smell of raw
meat, which always make me feel more
or less ILL.,"
"Pshaw-you might as well be an
English grill" said Jack scornfully.
IF you were anything like a trump
you'd kill as we'll as cook-Jennie
Smith does"
'Never mind; we don't want Mary
to be quite such masculine person as
Jennie" interposed Mrs. Hall; which
brought forth a rejoinder from Jack
that Miss Smith was no end of
good fellow" after which he suddenly
remembered that he was hungry, and
added hurriedly-
But I'm ready for supper, il you
are. III just run in and wash off some
of this dust, and be with you in few
moments" and Mr.. Jack swung him
self through the yeranda and disap-
peared within the house.

they are young people?"
Yes, quite young. He told me he
was twenty-three, but he hardly looks

station-hand who had just come up to
the veranda. How dye do, Bill? Has

a man and his wife for the station?
That's all right-see them settled In
the hut next the mems kitchen, will
you? Give a look after them, and
make them as comfortable as you can.
They are new chums, not used to
rough1ng 1t much yet, / expect, and no
doubt will feel strange at the start"
I have been to see after them, sir"
replied Bill, $50 far as the young man
would let me, but he seems mighty in
dependent, and says he can do for
himself"

ing; ''but 1t is hopeful beginning. II

Long before midnight the whole sta
ton appeared to be wrapped in slum-
Der. and not light was to be seen.
The very sheep-dogs snored and
dreamed as dogs do dream after a
hard days toll, rounding up their
focks and hunting back refractory
subjects to the yards, Just as they had
been doing the livelong day.
Every human being on the station
slept-Save one.
Upon a rude bench outside a hut
near the mems kitchen sat a dark
eyed youth, looking upwards into the
starry sky.
Tears were slowly trickling down his
face, and he rocked himself to and fro,
struggling to suppress his sobs. Pres
emily he arose, and, clasping his hands
above his head. as If in the very agony
of his soul, he murmured-
How will it all end? Oh, merciful
Heaven, how will 1t end?"
Then he entered the hut.

IMPORTANT LAW POINT.
Has just Been Established for Callfol

Has just Been Established for CaiIfor-
MIA Fig Syrup Co.
An important decision has just been
rendered In San Francisco in the
United States Circuit Court, in the case
of the California Fig Syrup Company
vs.. Clinton e. Worden & Co., ct al.
The principal defendant is large non
secret manufacturing concern. A per
manent injunction has been granted
enjoining the defendants from using
the name-Syrup Of Figs, or Fig
Syrup-and ordering them to pay the
costs and account for damages. The
decision Is Of the greatest value, not
only to manufacturers of proprietary
articles, but to the public generally, as
it affirms that the valuable reputation
acquired by an article of merit, will be
protected by the Courts, and that the
party who builds the reputation by ex-
tensive and legitimate advertising. is
entitled to the full fruits of his enter
prise. This confirms the title of the
California Fig Syrup Co. to this genu-
Inc and most valuable remedy, Syrup
of Figs"
1t is said that some of the sheep farms in
Australia are as large as the whole of
England.

The new cameo pictures are most
dainty. These are made on heavy,
rough surfaces. In dark shades or deep
colors. The paper upon which the fig
ures are Impressed or embossed in has
relief Is ,arge enough to be used also
as a mar, and only narrow edge OF
molding is necessary to finish the pic
ture. The transparent effect Of the
cameo is obtained by white enamel APP
piled with a brush to the embossed
outlines. Dancing figures or cupids,
singly or In groups. make a very pref.

In the Mexican Household.

The arrangement of furniture Is
much more formal than in the United
States. 1t is a very common sight to
see splendidly furnished parlor with
a row of STRAIGHTFORWARD chairs all
alike with their backs against the wall
and as close together as they can be
placed. Heavy single doors, such as
are used in the United States, are
practically unknown in Mexican houses
either at entrances or between interior
rooms All doors open in the middle
and are fastened with bolts top and
bottom. Exterior doors are always fit
ted with glass panels, for they also
serve as windows All such doors
opening on the street or open court are
fitted with solid shutters that are fold
ed at the sides out of sight when not
in use. A good Mexican cook relieves
the mistress of the house of worry and
responsibility in a manner that ID al
most unknown In the United States.
The cook Is given so much a day, and
with this amount she will purchase
each morning all the provisions for the
day, even the staples that are usually
bought in large quantities In other
countries. On dollar a day a cook
will provide a very good table for a
family of three or four, and get enough
beans and tortillas and chile to set the
servants table besides. They can re-
ally do better than their mistresses,
because they can usually drive sharper
bargains with the marketmen OF their
own class, and they have more pa
thence to haggle over the last penny -
