An experienced skating teacher lays
great Importance upon the kind OF
shoes worn. "a great deal is said" he
remarked, about properly supporting
the ankle, and people complain that
they cannot skate because their ankles
are weak. Now. in at least five out of
ten of those cases, there is nothing at
all the matter with either ankle or its
support The trouble is right here"

Ear. THE height of the shoe does not

Fifteen years had passed. Nellie
Gould was now Mrs. Elliott. middle
aged matron, with three brght-eyed
children. The los sOf her lover years
ago had come upon her ut first with
crushing force, and she had hoped TO
hear from him again. Then, after Il
further lapse of time, she had followed
her old lovers request, and married
another With the 800 they started
little shop together. 1t grew and
grew until it became one of the most
tlourishing businesses in Elton.
When the shop was closed in the
evening her husband would usually go
to the Chequers Inn, at the end of the
town, in order to discuss the events of
the day with his brother tradesmen.
Returning one evening. he found a
beggar resting on the doorstep of his
shop. His hair and beard were quite
white, his skin wrinkled, and his
checks hollow. He appeared to be quite
worn out.
John Elliott was kindly hearted
man, and now he was touched with
pity. He invited the man into the
house and gave him some supper. This
the wanderer scarcely touched, but fol
lowed with eager eyes the figure Of
Mrs. Elliott.
Then he adroitly gained from John
particulars about his family. He had
two sons and one girl, John told him.
The eldest boy was named Clarence.
HE is named after an old sweet
heart of the wife's 1t was her wish,

would have seen tear trickling down
the furrowed cheek.

and seven stage robberies during 1893.
with the result that five passengers
and trainmen were killed and four
hurt. and five robbers were killed and
six hurt During the last nine years
there have been 246 robberies of this
kind, eighty-eight persons have been
killed, and seventy-seven hurt. 1t will
be observed that the number for 1898
is fully up to the average, showing that
legislation thus far has done nothing
to check the evil. The reason Is that
legislation is not severe enough. In
Mexico last year there was not even
an attempt at train robbery. Reason,
the crime is punishable in that country
with instant death.

From almost every Southern State
comes the news that the farmers are
boxing ruin in the face, and at last have
come to the conclusion that something
must be done to avert it. The cause is
not hard to find. Every man who has
thought on the matter at all knows
that what is killing agriculture in that
section is the zone crop" idea. A change
for the better seems about to begin.
The Southern press has raised the cry
of alarm and is universally urging the
farmers to change their policy. The
crusade against the zone crop" idea is
being waged vigorously. and there are
signs that a more intelligent and scien-
tifc direction of agriculture will result.

Here he had met his fate, Nellie Gould.

She wore an air of perpetual sadness
