And turning she shut the door with
a slam and fiounced down stairs. At
the same moment the implication
conveyed in those half dozen inquir-
ing words burst upon Lottie's mind.
With an indignant, inarticulate yelp,
she sprang to her feet, o~verturning
the workbasket and dumping the
scarfs like an avalanche of color, aud
dashed to the door. But by the time
she reached the stairs the hall door
below her closed with a bang--the in
solent invader was gone. Turning
back into the room, poor little Lotti,,
threw herself into the armchair and
burst into tears.
Il don't care SO much for himself,
but what will she think of Mr.. la
tham?" she sobbed aloud, the stress
of her feelings demanding vocal utter
ance, even though she was alone.
"The wretch" thought Miss Hall,
lowering her veil to hide the tears in
her eyes as she rushed away. ITO pre-
tend that he loved me, and all the
while He need never speak to Inc
again."
And her little heels pounded the
flagstones with unusual energy as
she hurried away from the now abhor-
rent neighborhood.

enced in getting the ignorant and
timid colored people to answer to my
questions. They had all sorts OF
queer notions about what the census
was, some thinking il was for taxing
purposes, some for drafting the mer
into the army and some thinking they
were to be put into slavery again
Many could not be made to answer
until they were cornered and com
PEELED to do so. and some gave very
queer answers, indeed.

asked one colored woman.
"'No sah,' she answered readily

sTuMPs PULLED BY WIND POWER
Large Field Was Cleared Mt a Speed
That Was Surprising.

Farmers Advocate: Utilizing the
wind as @ stump puller is an Oregon
invention. 1t was the idea of the
farmer at the state penitentiary,
whose task was to clear six acres,
and with the aid of the wind he
cleared the whole track in six weeks,
although the timber was a dense
growth, the first measuring from one
TO -four feet in diameter. The winds
in the quarter blew strong from the
south at this season.
The farmer put his men to work
on the north side of the fir grove.
They cut a log and dragged it close
to the north side of the bases of the
fir trees that were to be felled. The
preparations were made during the
first day and then the men went
home and slept while the wind did the
rest. During the night a strong south
wind blew the trees down and they,
in falling across the logs, pulled up
the taproots. The next day the men
sawed up the fallen trees, burned the
brush and laid their logs for another
lot of trees. They proceeded in this
way until the whole grove disap-
peared.

Song OF the Cainper.

Sing no, for a camp on the mountain top,
With the breeZes briskly blowing,
Where long and bright the red sunlight
Comes over the valley glowing!
And no, for a camp In the valley lands
Beside n writhing river,
Whose silent flow of waters slow
Goes endless on forever!
Sing no, for a camp on a sheltered shore.
With he lake before 1t shining,
And a narrow strand of silvery sand
The waters margin lining!
Then no, for n campers life so free!
Sing no, for It's joys amending,
With the golden haze Of the summer
days
All natures glories blendingl
Field and Stream.
