All this / could see, in a general
way, for myself, and later on when we
were having our queer frank conversa-
tions, everything she told me confirmed
my theory.
1t was from sheer curiosity that I
began to watch her-the same sort Of
curiosity as that which was the origin
or her self-humiiation. l saw that
she was getting entanged, and I found
1t good sport to watch her. | have al

nature, and hers seemed one of the
most interesting cases l had ever come
across. | could see her rolling down an
inclined plane, holding on for dear
life and helplessly rolling on all the
time. Where would she land? How
would she come out at all?
But my breathless excitement-the
excitement of a spectator leaning for
ward in his seat in the amphitheatre-
gradually gave way to the horror of a
passerby stopped by the Shrek of a
drowning man. Yes, horror. At first

girl in this ugly scrape. But when
took closer view of the situation I
was literally Mortified.

downward until she is dashed against
the bottom of the precipice." l said to
myself, and l set myself the task of
saving her.

ter good deal of casting about for
a plan of campaign / said to myself
that the remedy was deducible from
my diagnosis of the case, and that the
only way to help her was to place an
other inattentive mana good, intel
ligent fellow-between herself and that
fool. From what had learned of her,
| felt sure that for some time she
would be in love with both of them,
and that little by little the "rasy-
faced ass" as used to call the cause
OF her misery, would pass out of her
dreams. or course it would be some
thing like tearing out a piece from
your right sleeve to mend q hole in
your left, but even then No. 2 was
supposed to be a decent, intelligent
fellow, and, even supposing that her
attentions remained unreturned, he
would not let her make fool of her

OF my sex did. 1t would be the lesser

THE AMERICAN FARMER.

Secretary Wilson, in Success.
The prediction of Mr.. Edison that electricity

the next fifty years. Is likely to prove true.
but not in the way Of heavy machinery Il will
come about, in my opinion, through the use of
electricity in transportation mining and mann.
featuring. II is just q trihe improbable that
anything will ever be invented TO take the
place. for Instance, OF a team OF horses for farm
work. Automobiles run smoothly ON a level
road, but not in mud. But electric RAILWAYS are
going out into the country, radiatinV from every
town and city in America, Every one of these
benefits the farmer, City peoplc move OUT,
bulld houses beautify grounds, and come into
lealthful contact with Mother Nature. The
farmer, not to be behind, brghtens up his own
place bit, uses the trolley himself cnlargcs
his horizon-and his market. So. too, wurl.s
every other invention of the electrician Of Edi.
sons class. Every electrical ore cr'I,hcr put in
operation means more work, more villages, more
men to feed. Every improvement in electrical
power means more factories. The farmer is not
slow TO see these advantages. The American
farmer is business man, keen and alert 10

| systematically and studiously ig-
nored her, answering her occasional
questions in preoccupied monosylla-
bles and the less | talked to her the
more vivacious and garrulous / be-
came with the other women.
The effect of all this was at first Of
character which l had not expected.
| She thought l felt offended by some-
thing which in her wretched absent
mindedncss she might have done to
me, and after vainly trying to discover
the cause of my apparent resentment
she asked me one day why / was 80

"Ofiish?" l asked with most elab-
crate mien of curiosity, Indifference
and impatience.
Yes. offish," she returned, colorinG,
but with merry little laugh. You
use to have good deal more to say to
me, so l thought l might have fallen
from grace"
you could not do that for the sim.
pie reason that you're grace itself"

that perfunctory, slightly bored smile
which says: II say it more To show

ing my part like "A consummate artist,
and she certainly kept track of me-
She did not exactly look nettled by the
preferences / showed for the society
OF the other women but she was
plainly interested in me, and | was
waiting to see that interest turn into
a more decided feeling
Week after week passed and still
she was humiliatinS herself before
that monument of boredom and stu
p.dity, while her interest in me was
assuming a peculiar character. At
first ! was at loss To understand
what II really meant, but by and by
began to feel so miserable that one
gloomy morning | said to myself:
"You are as idlotically in love with
her as she is with him"
l dropped my arms in despair. 1t
was appallingly true. My remedy had
turned out to BE- poison-poison for my
self without serving as an antidote
for her. I gnashed my teeth, / paced
my room, l ran my fingers in and out
of my hair. Every time l thought of
her love for him l felt sick with jeal-
orsy. 1t was jealousy pure and simple
now. Nor did l try to deceive myself
that 1t was sympathy for her, desire
to save a fellow creature from a fool
ish position. And now that II is all
over and thing of the half forgotten
past, may as well own that this sort
of interest had never been the guiding
motive In all i was trying to do for
her. 1t seems to me that when I told
myself to try and come to the rescue
OF a good girl rolling down hill, I was
acting as a wretched hypocrite.
Know / wanted her for myself, but
dared not own 1t in my own brain.

homely and anything but interesting
from n woman's point of view, as I

life in my every feature.

this could be easily remedied.
