Another Romance Spoiled.

'TeL a good snay and stick to It."
Is an old maxim that is illustrated In
story that Is going the rounds along
the Rialto. A certain well known
actor fioated into his home one morn
Ing about 2 o'clock. The wife OF his
bosom was waiting up for him. He
told her he had been out all the even
ing with one Of their friends, Charlie
B., and then related an interesting
fairy story of how Charlie had taken
a crowd to supper, how funny Char
lie had been all the evening. how
well Charlie looked In his new suit,
how he said this, that and the other.
After telling a Is minute story, to
which the gentle partner Of his joys
and out Of work periods listened with
respectful attention, but cynical mien,
he paused for breath. Then she. In .
confident now I've got you tone. said:
"That's lovely romance you've been
giving me, and I hate to spoil 1t. but
Charlie has been here nearly all the
evening waiting to see you about an
engagement. He left only about half
an hour ago."
The teller Of the tale looked rather
dazed for a moment as II he had been
struck. Then quickly gathering him
self together he assumed bold 'front.'

phasizing each word, said:

MAKE THE STABLES WARM.

Mr.. T. B. Terry gives good advice
about making the stables warm which
should be acted upon now. Now Is the
time to attend to this, il 1t hasn't been
done already. Many farmers are little
careless along this line. Perhaps they
think they will wait until they can build
a new barn; but don't Make yourself
and your animals comfortable this win
ter. 1t won't take long. Batten the
cracks. Line with straw on the inside,
holding it in place with any old strips OF
boards, il you live in cold climate and
cannot do better. There can hardly be
a reader so poor that he cannot make his
stables reasonably warm. Don't neglect
this matter, friends. 1t will save feed
and make cows give more milk.
But then it Is q pleasure to make all
stock comfortable. The writer has been
as hard up, probably, as any OF you, and
still he fixed up the stable in the old
barn so it was quite comfortable to do
chores in there, when the cows were In,
without any coat on in any weather.
You can do 1t. Get at it this month and
be ready for the cold storms. You can
sleep better when they come because
your cows and young cattle and horses
are warm.
OF course when you build new barn
YOU will make the stable warm. Line II
ali around inside with 1-2 inch flooring.
This will be solid enough 80 nothing will
kick it down, or hole through It, and
the matching will make it tight. 10 the
north you might well put paper under
the boards. We used Noway pine lum-
Der, and it stands, rs it is almost as hard
as oak, you know. But fx up the oio
barn now and 1t will help you to save
money to build the new. Be comfortable
as you can as you 60 along.-Exchsnge'

The impulsive fellow was shaking
from head to foot again and betraying
again the depth Of the emotion he felt.
He seemed to want to express his graf

uncomfortable fear that he was going
down on his knees to him or that he
would ding his sinewy arms about his
guests unwilling neck.

CHAPTER Z.

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
Through the long hours till the
morning Mason sat with tireless eyes
He had had too many alarms, too
many suspicious, during the early part
of the night to feel disposed for 20
much as a moments rest.
Into what den Of iniquity had he
stumbled among those hills which the
mind instinctively associated with the
peaceful and innocent delights OF q
pastoral life? Who were they, this
group Of rustics In their weird eyrie,
warm hearted, impulsive farmes,
witchlike old woman, sullen lad? We're

purposes, or were they divided sharp

hope to make by dishonest means here
in the wilds In these days Of railways
and the police?
The more carefully he considered
the whole matter the wilder did his
conjectures become, the more unlikely
seemed every conclusion which sug'
gested itself to him.
At last he gave up endeavoring to
unravel the mystery, telling himself
that with the mornings light with
the ability to look about him and to
make inquiries, there would come san
er thoughts and a clearer view Of
things.
In the meantime he had at first
enough to occupy him in the condition
of his patient,
Partly, no doubt, as result Of the
fright she lad had, the girl became
more restless than before. Her breath
ing grew more labored, her cough
more ipcessant, her complaints OF the
pain it gave her more plaintive. more
frequent.
With every means at his command
Mason combated each fresh symp-
tom US 1t arose, administered such
nourishment as she could swallow and
watched with unwearied patience until
toward daybreak she grew quieter,
ceased to utter the mutterincs which
had denoted the uneasy state Of her
mind and sank into peaceful sleep.
Mason heard the sounds about the
house which told that the family was
astir long before anybody came In to
relieve his watch.
When at last the farmer appeared,
he was overjoyed at the sight Of his
daughter In her quiet slumber. He
wrung Masson's hand again and again;
he thanked God in a broken voice for
sending help when he so sorely needed
it, and he ended by dragging the doc
tor away and leading him to the frc1t
bedroom, which had already been air
ed and put In order for the guests re-
