It's Brother Harvey here and Brother
Harvey there from morn till night.
They treat him as the head of the
FAMILY, and he's boyish enough to be
tickled to death by their flattering
ways"
Gladys sighed.
I'm afraid it will be very hard for
me to right matters, Phebe. l don't
feel equal to the task"
MOI now, because you're not your
self. You'll get back your courage in
good time; you must. for your author

to Mrs. Harvey's impudent meddling,

and advanced enough money to pay
their board. Was that right?"
Gladys nodded approval.
Annette is staying with Sanders
cousins, hard by, and can be brought
over at any hour. So you see matters
are not as bad as they seem. Now
drink your wine and milk and forget
all this. Never cross a bridge till you
come to it, dearie."
Upon which bit of homely wisdom
Gladys rested content for the time.
"Phebe," she said, a day or two later,

Then, as a sudden suspicion flashed
across her mind, she asked sharply,
Surely Helen has not interfered with
my own private parlor?"
She's done just that, and given it to
her sisters as a sort Of day nursery and
sewing room. When l objected, Mrs.
Harvey said she was SURE you would
not object to an arrangement that kept
the baby so near you, and as you had
no maid, her sisters would be at hand
to do any bit of mending you needed"
How dared she!" cried Gladys, with
flashing eyes and compressed lips. HAS

BLOW CONES 4 GREAT SURPRISE


A London, November 80 dispatch
says: Lord Roberts cables from johann
nesburg, under date Of Wednesday,
November 20:
THE 'Dewetsdorp garrison of two
guns of the ~Sixty-eighth field artillery,
with detachments of the Gloucester
shire regiment, the Highland light in
fantry and Irish rifles, 400 in all, sur
rendered at $40 D.. M, November 90.
Our losses were fifteen killed and for
ty-two wounded, including Major Han
den and Captain Digby.
1.-The enemy is said to be $500
strong. -Four hundred men were dis
patched from Edenburg to relieve De-
wetsdorp, but they did not succeed in
reaching there in time. Knox Joined
this force and found Dewetsdorp evac-
uated. S~eventy-five sick and wounded
had been left there. Knox pursued
and is reported to have successfully
engaged Steyn and Dewet near yaal
Bank, November 81. They retired
west and southwest. Knox's messen-
ger failed to get through, so l have no
details"
Shock to Great Britain.
London, Nov. 3O.-The disaster at
Dewetsdorp has sent a thrill of alarm
through Great Britain. The censor
ship continues SO strict that there is
no hope OF arriving at a clear conclus-
ion of the actual condition of affairs in
South Africa. For instance, indepen-
dent accounts of the subsequent pro-
ceedings of the recapture of Dewets-
dorp give ample details, not admitting
to announce the capture of two Boer
wagons and a quantity of loot, but
there is not the slightest mention of
the surrender Of 400 British troops and
two guns, which were not even dis
abled, inasmuch as the Beers were
able to use them against the British
relief.
The ubiquitous Dewet" seems again
70 have gotten away, and SO far, there
is no news that the captured British
have been liberated. Taking into con-
sideration the enigmatical military
situation north Of the Orange river,
the : smouldering rebellion in Cape
Colony, the rumors that France has
promised Mr.. Kruger TO press arbitra-
ton on England If he is able to obtain.
the support Of Germany, and that
Lord Kitchener, after all, is not to be
given the chief command in South
Africa, the British government will
meet the lew parliament next week at
an exceedingly inoppOrtune moment,

Scarcity Of Ash Barrels In Erooklyn.
There is q great scarcity Of barrels
In Brooklyn. Ever since the people
began coming back from their vaca-
lions the grocers have been overrun
with requests for old barrels. During
the summer most Of the families who
were away lost their ash barrels
which are still used instead OF ash
cans In Brooklyn-andson their return
there was q rush to get new ones.
Ordinarily q request for q barrel from
the grocer results In a being sent

thissyear. the demand 30 exceeded the
supply that the grocers were obliged
to buy old barrels to supply their GUS
toners. The price has been twenty
cents apiece.-New York Sun.

vast Development of the Empire Dur.
Ing the Century.
An English writer contributes some
interesting facts relative to the great
growth of Great Britain and her col
onies during the century now closing.
During 1SO0-1900, he says, the British
empire has increased at the rate of
two acres per second. In 1900 the Unit
ed Kingdom had a colonial area equal
to sixteen times its own area; In 1900
the United Kingdom has a colonial
area equal to ninety-six times its own
area. Roughly the increase has been
from 100000 to IL, 100000 square
miles. If the Orange river colony and
the Transvaal be taken into account,
the colonial area is now more than 81
times that of the home country. The
French colonial area is only eighteen
times the size Of France, the German
colonial area only five times the size
of Germany. In population, the Brit
ish empire has risen from lie, 000, 900
in 1900 to $780, OO, 900 in 1900. In the
same interval the United Kingdom has
risen from $4,000, 900 to 41,0o0, 900,
France from 27,OoO,0 900 to s9,0O0,0 900,
and the states now Germany from b.
100000 to 55,O00,o00. The population
of the British empire outside Of the
United Kingdom was, in 1900, about
100, 000, 900, of whom only 100000
were white. Now it numbers 349,O0O,-
600, of whom 10000, 900 are white;
then one person in so was white, now
one person in % is a white. The Brit
ish empire is peopled at the rate of 80
persons to the square mile.

P vi.

Gladys was pale with wrath. To
men. her excitement would have
seemed wholly disproportionate to it's
cause; but women, to whom their in
innate belongings are always a part of
themselves, will understand her sensa-
tons. She could have borne a personal
attack as easily as this upon her
Lares and Penates. Phebe had never
before known her to be so angry, and
was startled by the passionate demon
stration. She demanded that Harvey
should be sent to her the minute ne
returned from business, nor would she
be persuaded to wait till she was
cooler. When he came, marveling at
the Imperative summons, she met him
with r%eproaches, and censured Helen
u%nsparingly for her insolent Interior
ence. He listened quietly at frst-his
surprise at the unwonted exhibition Of
anger equaled Phebe's-then his own
ire rose.
Il told you once before l would not
allow you Or any one to speak disre-
specially of my wife," he sternly said.
Helen has been actuated by the kind
est of motives in everything she has
done, and uphold her in her course"
Even when her kindness extends to
robbing me Of my private rooms"
o. make too much of what is
doubtless a mere temporary arrange
ment. You could not use the parlor
while you were i'll"
But can now, and I will" Gladys
spoke briskly and with determination.
BE kind enough to tell your wife that
1t is to be vacated at once"
Come, come, madam, you are un-
reasonable" said Harvey, persuasively.
1T will require a day or two to make
the change and dispose of the girls
comfortably. I hardly know what other
room can be found for them"
There are a number in the upper
part Of the house."
None except the servants cham
bers. They can not occupy them"
Why not, since they are servants
my servants?' demanded Gladys.
The color rushed to Harvey's face.
You r not yourself, else you.
would say that, madam, SO I
pass it over" he replied temperately,
though he was both mortified and
angry. Helen will make an arrange
ment satisfactory to all parties IL you
give her time. I have faith In her judy
ment; she is the wisest woman l
know"
"And the best?" asked Gladys, with
feminine perversity counting the knife.
THE best by far" he deliberately
answered.
The color died from her face, leaving
1t white and wan.
you are rude, sir" she said, more
sadly than bitterly.
NO, only truthful. I Inn sorry IL I
have offended you. but you force me to.
defend my wife. It Ii my earnest wish,
mother, that you leave matters undis-
turbed. She is far better qualified to
manage your domestic affairs than you
are: the childish temper you have Just
shown proves that. It Is time you
should transfer your burdens to
younger shoulders. Az your SON, I urge
youst0 do this, and 4 am sure you Will.
