Never mind, Jane said John Lath-
rop to his sister-in-law. you just
make yourself to home Susan'll be
back in no time. Don't you move out
O. this here house till Sue gifts home.
She's been frettin' and stewin' fur We
till up and said t. her guess she
made mistake in livin' with me. 1t
was you she ought t. have had"
So Jane staid and looked after SUI
sans children and cooked for susan's
husband, and watched every car for
the appearance of her sister.
AS for Susan, she broke down for a
moment when she found that her jour-
ney had been in vain.
"No, see here, SUSIE" argued her
brother-in-law, Hank French, what
use is it to cry? Jane'll come racin'
home like Maud S. when she finds
you're here. You stay right where you
be-
So Susan did as she was bid, and
visited with James husband and
hemmed James napkins and made
new kind of pickle for Jane out OF
some overripe string beans.
But on the third day Jane concluded
to go home And on the third day
Susan concluded to go home. An6
so-but that's really the end OF the
| story.
They're fool invention to m.
mind, them lectric cars" said Jane t.
her husband.
4 Susan dropped tears in the bath a
she bathed the children.
There's too many new fangle'
things in these parts" she said to tn
children. Next time your ma goe

horses, and then maybe she git some

cal soul of Susan Lathrop. .I'll wait
till that there road is done." she de-
clared. It'll be a savin'."
Jane heard Of this resolve and COM
mended 1t.
'.As Susan says" she remarked to
her husband, it'll be real economy to
put off visitin' till that there road is
done.''
YES" acquiesced Hank French,
when we git the ,lectric it'll be
quicker to go anywhere than to stay
at home
"Eh?" said Jane, looking per-
picked.
Yep" growled Hank; and, vexed at
his wife's lack Of appreciation of his
humor, relapsed into silence.
But three years is a long time going
by. The sisters stood it with what
fortitude they could. But thousand
things had happened of which they
desired to speak. People had died
people they both knew-and Jane and
Susan had no opportunity to discuss
deathbed speeches, likelihood ct
frances. details of funerals, or the
situation of the bereaved families.
Beula Jones had used shaker flannel
instead of all-fannel pinning blankets
for her baby, and Susan had no chance
to tell Jane. Lila Gibbs had been mar
ried in green poplin-the idea!-and
Jane had lacked an opportunity to tell
Susan. Pete Hines was converted and
was almost exploding with his pent-
up oaths; ST Lewis had taken to drink
since he married his second wife. Was
it not pitiful that these events had re-
manned undiscussed? Moreover, there
were domestic matters of still greater
importance-but these it would be a
breach of confidence to mention.
The twins got SO that the first news
they read in the Weekly Herald was
that which related to the construction
of the electric road When the teams
were put at work upon the roadbea,
Susan and Jane We're as happy as birds.
When the first rails were laid they ex-
ulted like successful politicians the
morNing after election. Each was busy
upon a frock which she intended to
wear to the house of the other; each
was full of childish anticipation at the
thought of giving surprise to the
other.
The time of waiting passed. "A morn
ing Of rain dawned, and at each end of
the road a bright yellow car stood
waiting to make it's initial journey.
Jane-in her new frock-was in one
car, bound for Susan's, her arms filled
with bundles containing gifts, her
heart futtering like that of a happy
girl. Susan-in her fresh gown was
in the other car, destined for James,
her lap heaped with presents. her
heart dancing like an accepted lovers.
The cars started by the watch. spit

THE ORANGE FREE STATE.
The Education of ITS Children Ono of
Its Primary Concerns.

The Education of It's Children One of
It's Primary Concerns.
The Orange Free State, which is now
invaded by the British, expends about
$15O,O0O annually on roads, 100000 on
bridges, and large sums, for so small
country, on public buildings. In fact,
nearly one-third of the entire revenue
of the state is absorbed by educational
grants and public works. This would
be very fine showing for countries
outside of Africa. The government of
this Boer state is very careful about
the education of the children of the
land. For this purpose a permanent
fund of 100000 is set aside. The ed
ucational department is very thor
ough one. This department is under
superintendent, who has under him
corps of inspectors and sub-inspec-
| tors. There are about IS government
schools, with a staff or $50 teachers.
These schools are exclusive of private
and non~aided schools, such as those
which are maintained by the Catho-
\ lies, the Anglicans, and other religious
II
denominations. The great majority OF
the citizens of the Orange Free State
are, from the circumstances of their
Dutch origin, members of the Dutch
Reformed church. This is the estab.
4 lished church of the land There is E
4 congregation in nearly every little vii
4 lage of the country The government
annually contributes about $4,000 t
the support of this religious sect
is paid into the church synod, to b
used as that body deems fit. Thi
synod meets every other year, in tn
month of May, at Bloemfontein, tn
capital. 1t is composed of the pas
tor and lay member of each congre
cation. The following denomination
also have churches in the Orang
Free State: The Episcopalians, Lutt
Grams, Catholics, Methodists, Baptist
and Presbyterians. The Orange Ere
: State has sort of Maine liquor Law
1t was passed in 1888 This statute al
: solutely forbids the sale of alcohol
stimulants OF any kind to the tribe:
men and to people of color general,
It pevents its sale to any one except i
towns. There is no license granite
for the sale of drink outside of munic
palities.

PETERS CREEK
ELECTRIC ROAD.

Though Jane French and Susan
Lathrop were twin sisters. and though
they lived only fifteen miles apart, yet
they had not seen each other for three
years.
1t was not because they were bad
frlends-no no! Jane invariably spoke
Of Susan with emotion and gave it as
her opinion that whatever might be
said to the contrary, no one, to- her
mind, ever seasoned tomato pickles
the way that Susan did. AS for Susan,
che was given to remarking that Jane
made a bed with more celebrity and
neatness than any woman Of her ac-
quaintance. BY this it will be seen
that feeling of most affectionate
cordiality existed between the two.
But neither of them found it easy
to take the horses away from their
work for two days, and even If such
thing could be accomplished now anu
then, 1t was impossible for either Wo-
man to achieve the journey without
some sort of man-body as conductor
Of the expedition.
1t was not that Jane and Susan were
timid drivers, but that it hardly SEEM
ed womanly for them to ford two
4 streams and dash up hill and down.
as the peculiarities of the road re-
quired them to do. Such a display OF
courage they would have considered
as distinctly masculine as the riding
Of diamond-framed wheel.
1t must not be supposed that the
part of New York state in which this
occurred was unenriched by railroad
activity. Dear no! BY riding
thirty three miles, thus describing al
acute triangle. and waiting five hours
at the junction, it was possible TO
Jane to go to Susan, and for Susan Il
