The blood surges to the very roots

The blood surges to the very roots
of his hair.
Il understand you, Mrs. Saville," he
says, in a very low voice; "but has not
Barbara a right to choose?" There is
passionate pride in the whispered
words.
Barbara must be kept out of temp
tation," Mrs. Saville rejoins as they
enter the dining room.
But George Bouverie's eyes are full
of triumph, for has not Barbara made
her choice already? He flashes a glance
at her as they take their places, and
Barbara's shy, lovely eyes meet his for
brief second.
Everything at the Court is damp and
mouldy. The great dining room has
the atmosphere of a vault. A very
small fire burns in the CRATE, and a
seedy-loOking butler shambles round
the table with his satellite, beardless
youth imported from the stables,
breathing hard and walking round on
tiptoe with awful and elaborate care
fulness.
The dining table is large; but there
is very little on it-an alarming ex-
panse of tableclOth and not much else.
Sebastian, fixing his eyeglass firmly,
gravely carves a minute portion of a
joint, SO small it will hardly go round.
The butler very carefully pours out a
very minute portion of sherry into
George Bouveries glass, while the
scared lad from the stables travels la
boriously round with vegetables.
George does not care about luncheon,
so the scantiness of the repast does not
affect him. Barbara is sitting oppo-
site, and he can feast his eyes on the
beauty of her face; while Sebastian
unfriendly expression affects him not
at all.
Luncheon over, Mrs. Saville makes
an apology for deserving her guest, for
the carriage has been ordered early,
the drive to Barrystown is long.
1T will only be au revoir," George
says gaily, Il promised my mother to
take her to the Barry's affair this af-
ternoon. chrysanthemum show, 1
believe"
1t is distinctly annoying, for this
very handsome young man will COM
pletely monOpOlize Barbara.
You will be rather late. Mr.. Bou-
verie," responds Mrs. Saville Jelly.
'Oh, not at ALL" George says pleas
antly; while, with nod and smile,
Barbara runs off to dress for the party.
III just hop across country and be at
the Grange in half an hour" George
says gaily. Il wouldn't disappoint the
mother for the world"

few years ago a famous actor was
asked what was the most amusing
thing-not down on the bill-which he
had ever met with in his long theatre
cal experience. He replied that once
in play in which he appeared an ice
cream freezer, presumably filled with
cream. was among the properties dis
played to the audience. 1t was not
practicable to equip the freezer with
real ice cream, so it's place was sup
piled with cotton. One of the actors
had occasion to cross the stage with a
flaming torch, and a spark from the
torch must have fallen into the freezer.
for, to the joy of the audience, which
greeted the casualty with enthusiastic
applause, the ice cream was inconsis-
tent enough to burn up then and there,
thus inflicting a serious blow upon the
realism of the performance New

CHAPTER II

Mrs. Saville is peculiar looking
woman. She is seated in the long
drawing room wbez. Barbara enters
with her two cavaliers, and she greets
George rather coldly, turning immedi-
ately to Barbara.
You are late, dear You must dress
Immediately after luncheon; 1T is such
long drive to Barrystown."
iced | go?" asks Barbara, looking
bored.
My dear, | wish it," Mrs. Saville
says decidedly. and turns to George.
How is your dear mother? She looked
but poorly. latterly."
Il think she is all right" George re-
plies, standing on the faded hearthrug
in his careless grace.
Altogether the Court and it's in
mates are glOOmy-all except Barbara
whose clear young voice rings through
the rooms
Luncheon is announced and Mrs. Sa-
vile rises and puts her jewelled hand
on the arm of George Bouverie.
You and | will lead the way" she
says. with slow, unpleasant smile
Those two young people like to take
care of each other"
As they pass across the great vault
ed stone hall Mrs Saville looks up at
the golden-haired young man at her
side and whispers:
You must not covet forbidden fruit.
Mr.. Bouverie; and | think for your
own sake. it would be well not to
come too often to the Court. Your
mother knows my wishes for Bar
bara.'

MAKING BOER "REIMS."
Skins Turned Into Thongs for South

African Ox-WagOns.
One of the strangest things which
strikes the eye on d casual visit to a
BOer farm is a curious structure, not
far from the homestead, standing up
against the skyline like a gigantic
gallOws, says the London Mail There
is a stout. roughly hewn tree plant
ed fair and square in the ground
From this is a crossbeam in the CEN
ter of which is a large iron hook Di-
rectly underneath this, on the ground.
is a huge square stone about eighteen
inches TO two feet in height But it
is not gallows. 1t is simply the
farm "briepaal," or braying poles,
whereon the oXhides are treated and
turned into those remarkably service
able "reims' or strips of leather thong,
which form an indispensable staple of
the outfit of every South African OK
wagon. This is the method of prepar-
ing the ''reims.' After the dead oxen
have been skinned the pelts are spread
on the bare ground and allowed to dry
with the under side uppermOst to the
scorching hot sun. After some days
preparation of this kind they are
brought by the Kaffir boys to the
braying poles. Having been soaked
In water, or preferably brine and
water, for some little while, and the
hair being still on them, the pelts are
somewhat limp and extraordinarily
elastic. The skin is roughly trimmed
into an oval shape.
The BOer then pulls out a sharp
knife, and from the outward edge in
ward commences to cut the skin into
a circular strip of about an inch and
a half in width.
AS rule a full-sized oxhide yields
one long continuous strip one and one
half inches in width and seventy yards
in length. A second hide is treated in
exactly the same way, and the two
ends are knotted together with the
particular form of knot known to
sailors, which the more you pull the
tighter it becomes.
The whole length of 40 yards of raw
hide ribbon is tf-Sn stretched to its
fullest length. When it is fully
stretched it is Topped into a large
hank, which is of the greatest weight.

A New Scheme OF Taxation.

An increase of at least $250,000 a
year to Chicago's income from corpor-
ations is projected in an ordinance
which an alderman has drawn up. The
ordinance provides that all telephones
and telegraph companies not now
taxed on their gross income for the
city's benefit shall pay to the NUM-
cipality S. year for each pole used by
them.
