From the door Of the little brown
house at the head of the orchard
emerged wee, rosy maiden, herself as
dainty and sweet as an apple blossom.
Her hair was primly brushed back and
tightly plated, and her gingham dress
was a miracle of crisp starchness.
She ran down the steps, across the
yard, and peered through the lilac
hedge. A lanky, slovenly boy of IA
was stretched upon the grass, deep in a
book.

boy, without moving.
"Come here! I've something to tell
you"
He arose slowly, shaking back his
unkempt hair, shutting his unlaced
shoes into place, and slouched across
the yard.
"Mr. Ames proposed to Aunt Lucy
last night heard him."
''Oh, go way!"
"He truly did. You see, l was in the
hammock in the grape arbor, and they
didn't know l was there"

Her eyes were exclamation points!

COST OF LIVING
 AT HIGHEST POINT
DUN's REVIEW SAYS IN SPITE OF THE cHEAPENINo OF GOODS IT COSTS MORE TO LIVE NOW THAN EVER BEFORE.

New York, November e.-Duns review to be issued November g will say:
 Dun's index number, covering 350 qurs- tions with due allowance for the relative importance of each was $97, 743 cn Novem- Der l, an increase of nine tenth of one per cent for the month of October and seven per cent as compared with the same date Fast year. The cost of living has now reached the highest point of the decade notwithstanding the cheapening of many manufactured goods through im- proved processes and the absence of un- due imitation in various classes of steel products which was consp;cious in the spring of 1900 and brough- about the sub sequent severe reaction. No artificial stimulous is responsible for the present high level of manufactured grods and side from rise in food products, due to short crops, the present position of the index number may he attributed to sound business conditions and full employment of labor at high wages.

A Clever Military Trick.

After some skirmishing between Kash-
mir and Peshawar the enemy took to the
top Of a HILL whence they could roll rocks
down and from which their dislodgment
was difficult. AT last villager came in
and told me that although the enemy oc-
cupied the top of the mountain all day
they were in the habit of coming to
springs half way down to cook and rest
at night.
Acting ON this information, | sent for
some herdsmen of the district and show
ing them handful of gold coins prom
ised to give them If the men would
take up a bugler and some odds and ends
that they must carry with them to the
top of the hill after the enemy had retir-
ed from the heights for the night. A bar
gain was made, and the next evening my
little party was ready for starting.
The bugler was disguised as a shep-
herd, and the villagers, three in number
carried each half a dozen pots filled with
powder with fuses attached. These they
We're to take to the top of the hill and lay
out in a row, and at at night, on sig
nal rocket being fired from camp, they
were to light all the fuses, the buglel
would blow all the calls he knew, and
then the whole party were to make the
best of their way back to camp
The ruse was successful The hillmer
fled in a panic, and the youthful com
mander obtained a bloodless victory
