A NOVEL OUTING TOUR.
How Summer Outing May be Enjoyed
by Expenditure of Little Money.


by Expenditure of Little Money.
Walnut Laceting tells how delight
full summer vacation may be had in a
novel and agreeable way:
I'VE determined to travel for the
most part mornings and evenings.
From eight o'clock to nine or ten,
with keen scent for anything quaint
or beautiful, we glided along the
shore-lines or the peaceful levels of
the inland towns, for the qualification
of our own tastes if waterside grove
looked specially alluring. In derail-
ing we first raised the car a few
inches on four light jackscrews. Or
the sill had been fastened, two on
side, hollow-rimmed wheels. The low
horses were then placed on each side
of the car, and two nine-foot lengths
of light old rails laid on the horse,
fitted with blocks to hold the rails in
gauge. We then loosened the screws
and had our car mounted to run side
wise. Then placing two more rails,
abutting the first two, and resting at
the outside end on two more horses,
we rolled the car over, stopping it by
trigs. Then our first set of rails and
horse could be removed to clear the
track.
"a favorite hating reason was the
nearness of a station to crossroads,
which usually have something better
in the way of old walls and roadside
shadows, old well-sweeps and quaint
gambrel-roofed cottages than can be
found on the main highways traversed
by the trolley lines. Hebe, who liked
nothing better than a cross-country
stroll, would issue forth with sketch
book at about four o'clock, accom-
panied by Dominic and his camera.
Nothing more would be seen of them
until six, when they would return, in
transports of delight concerning the
loveliest long shadows or cunningest
calves and lambs that ever were seen.
eve must not forget to tell you that
a Paradise such as we have described
is one of the coolest summer resorts
imaginable. By closing the shutters

western railroad and it's employees
probably will be averted. Several Of
the employees recently were discharged
and others were transferred, and this
promised to lead to a great railroad

A hundred questions trembled on
Violet's lips, but she would not ask
one. 1t was SO strange, this meeting
the great heiress there. After all. it
was perhaps as well. Now she would
see what her rival was like. the girl

desired that her son should marry.

knew? To what complication would
it give rise? She was not much sur
prised to find that the order of the
house was somewhat changed. The
dinner was later, and some magnifi-
cent silver service was disinterred;
there was a general air of expecta-
ton.
Violet could have counted the beats
of her heart; even Mrs. Migrants
worn, placid face was moved as
though with some great pleasure 1t
was after sunset when Violet heard
the sound Of carriage-wheels. She
absented herself on some pretext, not
caring to be present when the two
ladies met. She was rather frighten-
ed by her own emotion; she did not
quite understand it. Was it love or
jealousy that stirred her heart with
such keen interest?
When the dinner-bell rang, she
went into the drawing-room, wonder
ing why Mrs. Ingram had not sent
for her as usual; and then she saw
standing there a woman beautiful as
a dream, tall and stately, yet not
proud-a graceful, gracious woman,
with an exquisite face and eyes soft
and dark as night.
Miss Mari went up to her with
white outstretched hands
Mrs. Ingram has been speaking Of
you," she said. Il am pleased to see
you you are a great comfort to her"
And SO the hands of the two wo-
men whose lives crossed so strangely
met for the first time.
