calmly. "Are you aware, though, that

sarcasm. "But perhaps you have for
gotten our conversation of a week
ago?" he supplemented, with signi-
fcant glance from Evelyn to Major
Brown, who was standing silently pass
ing his stick along the edge of the
gravel path, an edited listener to the
discussion.
At his words the hot color rose
quickly to Evelyn's cheeks, mounting
to her forehead and spreading over
throat and ears. Like lightning her
thoughts had gone back to that morn
ing when her first encounter with Ma
jor Brown had taken place; and, as
she realized to what Mr.. Falkland
was alluding, feeling of the utmost
annoyance took possession of her.
But worst OF all was the knowledge
that Major Brown had raised his head
and was wonderingly surveying the
crimson hue of her cheeks, and prob
ably even divining the cause Of her
confusion. This last thought was too
much for her. Without another word,
and giving Gilbert Falkland only one
flash of her angry eyes, she suddenly
turned away and walked off indignant
ly towards the house.

One contemptuous glance she gave

though annoyed by the very sight of it,,
she took it up, and, thrusting it into
her writing case, locked the key an

Good Story on Lord Aberdeen.

New York Evening Post: A story Is
going the rounds in London Of the earl
of Aberdeen, the former viceroy OF
Ireland and encouragement Of Can
ada, who in his boyhood days devel-
oped a large measure of the religious,
not to say Puritanical, spirit so strong
ly characteristic of many of the Illus
trious Gordon family. In his Elton
days he went to one Of the upper mas
tiers and asked him whether he thought
it was right for him to oil his cricket
bat on Sundays, as the other boys did.
The teacher intimated that he did not
regard the act as one of the seven
deadly sins, and advised the youthful
zealot to refer the question to his
form master. co. replied the young
Gordon; 1--WE asked him, and he says
it is all right if one does it in a rev.
erent and humble spirit" Thus do
sinners make the road easy for saints

Two Happy Thoughts.

From far-away Ceylon comes a
funny little story. A tea planter who
had a glass eye was DESTROYS of going
away for a days shooting with a
friend, but he knew that as soon as the
natives who were at work on the plan
tation heard that he was going they
would not do a stroke of work. How
was he to get off? That was the ques-
ton. After much thought an idea
struck him. Going up to the men, he
addressed them thus: Although my
self will be absent, yet l shall leave
one of my eyes to see that you do your
work" And, much to the surprise
and bewilderment of the natives, he
took out the glass eye and placed it
on the stump of tree and left. For
some time the men worked Industrious
ly, but at last one OF them, Selling his
tin in which he carried his food, ap-
preached the tree and gently placed it
over the eye. This done, they all lay
down and slept sweetly until sunset

saved your life"
"Yes-that is it," said Evelyn lugu-
briously.
"It is very annoying-the whole al
fair has been so unfortunate, pro-
ceeded Lady Howard with emphasis.
eff it were absolutely necessary that
YOU should be rescued by somebody, all
well and good; but there is not an
other person in the hotel whom
would not have chosen to undertake
the task in preference to that man.
Evelyn received the information IN
silence. Leaning her elbows on the
edge of the table, she let her chin
sink slowly into her two palms and
gazed out refectively through the
epen window.
Still there is nothing really against
him." she suggested at length, with
slight though perceptible diffidence.
"He-he is very nice to talk to. The
only objection is that nobody knows
who he is, and that his name Is
'Brown-plain common 'Brown'-with-
out even an e. to add little elegance
to it. And of course one generally
considers that an officer is at least
gentleman"
IAN officer? Nonsense, child! Be-
cause he calls himself Major Brown,
do you suppose that is any criterion of
his position in society,"" Lady How
ard spoke quite disdainfully. He may
be an officer, certainly-he has the ap-
pearance of a soldier0.but it is far
more likely, since nobody can discov-
er what regiment he is inland there
is no such name in the retired Army
list-that he is merely major Of vol
unteers in an obscure country town,
following a vulgar but honest trade
as soap boiler or sugar refner."
HE may be, OF course. Pigs, be-
lieve, may fly" returned Evelyn, nib
bling the end Of her pen with a per-
fectly uneonvinced expression. But
there is nothing suggestive Of either
soap a sugar about Major Brown"

District Court Matters.

The case of the Marriott Irrigation
company VS.. the Bear River Irrigation
company ct al. was on yesterday morn
ing before Judge Johnson in the court
of the Second district. At noon it went
over until this morning, when argu-
ments will be heard.
In the afternoon Judge Johnson heard
arguments for new trial in the case
of Eva Campbell VS.. the Rio Grande
WESTERN the motion was taken under
advisement.
Judge Rolapp heard arguments in
the case of Francis Wilde VS.. the
Union Pacific; decision was reserved.
The feature of the arguments in the
Wilde case was the scoring given the
jury by Attorneys A. Gee and LIE Grand
Young, who characterized the verdict
as an outrage, and said the jurors
had violated their oaths in bringing in
such eXorbitant damages when they
had sworn to weigh well the evidence.
The motion for a new trial in the
case of Knold VS.. Rio Grande Western,
made by the defendants, was also ar
gued and taken under Amusement The
Knold and the Campbell cases each rest
on Identical state of facts. Campbell
having been the engineer and Knold
the fireman injured by the same ex-
plosion, but the Campbell case went
against the plaintiffs, and they moved
for the new trial. The Knold case went
against the railroad company, and the
company moves for the new trial

an opportunity to. argue on both sides
