Sunshine and Cheer

What subtle kind of heartache we give
others by simply not being at our best
and highest, when they have to make al
lowance for us, when the dark side IS up
pcrmost in our minds and we take their
sunlight anc courage away, by even our
unspoken thought, our atmosphere of
l:caviness! Oh. to stand always and eter-
nally for sunlight and life cheer'

CHAPTER Nv.
Continued.


There was a faint track over the
fields, not defined enough to be called
a footpath, but just clear enough fol
him to discern by the trodden look OF
the short grass
He was within a couple Of hundred
yards of the little river, and was look
ing out for any sign Of Nell's presence
In the little kitchen garden on the other
side, when he became aware that the
questionable Jem Stickels was in sight
punting slowly down the stream, as he
had done the day before. Catching
sight of the gentleman, Jem drew his
punt to the shore, and with his black
felt hat on the back Of his head, his
short clay pipe in his mouth, his hands
in his pockets, he landed, and slouched
along toward Clifford.
"Well, sir, l warned you as how 1t
were not wise thing to put up at the
Blue Lion," said Jem, with swagger-
ing insolence which made Clifford
want to kick him. II 'eard Of it up at
Fleet yonder," and he jerked his head
back in the direction Of the old ruined
castle up the river. II s'pose there's
been a grand pretence O. huntin' about
the place, and how they've found moth
in They're gettin' used to these lit
tie scenes by this time"
After one glance at Clifford's face,
the man let his eyes wander elsewhere.
Looking shiftilv and idly about as he
spoke, his attention was suddenly ar
rested, Just as he finished his speech,
by something on the ground, apparent
ly few feet from where Clifford was
standing The latter noticed the rapid
change which came over the mans
face, the eager look of interest and as.
tonishment with which he stood gazing
open-mouthed at the one particular
spot on the ground.
In spite Of himself, Clifford turned
his head and looked, too.
There, on the grass behind him, not
three feet from the track he had fol-
lowed, was his own watch, with the
chain still attached to it, lying half
hidden in the stubbly growth Of the
field.
For the first moment Clifford stared
without speaking or moving, dumb
with astonishment.
my watch! How did it get there?"
he stammer at last.
The man laughed scornfully.
AYE, how did it? I think I could
give a good guess, if dared"
What do you mean:"
"Why, that this is the way Miss Nell
Claris goes TO see Miss Bostal at Skin
gle End, and that nobody but her ever
uses it. That is what should make
so bold as to mean, if could speak my
mind. And I'll wager Miss Nell has
been along here this morning. Oh,
she don't get around the swells for
nothing, she don't"
Clifford sprang at the man and pin
ioned him by the throat.
'You lying cur!' he hissed out, saw
agely. "You deserve q thrashing for
this!"
But even as he flung the fellow
sprawling in the mud of the river
bank, Clifford felt a chill at his heart
when he saw the evidence closing
round pretty Nell

Small Fortune in a Wheat Bin.

John Walaum, farmer, living near La
Crosse. Wis, found in a bin Of wheat a
sack OF gold, notes and securities, placed
there by his father, who died over two
years AGO. Ever since the death of his
father Mr.. Walaum had been looking for
money which he was convinced his father
had concealed somewhere on the farm
While measuring wheat preparatory to
taking it to the market the son found
the sack of money and securities, the
value of which runs over $4,000. n0AA

ouARR,Es or OLD EGYPT.


Where Stone Fer Pyroaoas Of the
Desert Was ProouFed.
On the way to Philn and the head Of
the cataract, short distance south OF
Assouan, we come upon the ancient
quarries which supplied the granite
for the columns. statues and obelisks
throughout Egypt for many centuries.
An obelisk which we saw lies In Its
native bed. 1t Is 05 feet In length. and
three sides have been carefully cut.
but for some unknown reason 1t was
never separated entirely from the par
ent rock. The surface bears the tool
marks Of the workmen. The grooves
In Il, show that It was to have been re-
duced at the sides. 1t was supposed
that the stone was split from It's bed
by drilling holes in the rock and filling
them with wooden wedges. which were
afterward saturated with water. the
swelling wood furnishing the power.
From illustrations In the temples It Is
clear that these great monuments were
floated down the river on fqtboats and
RATS and then carried inland by arti.
fetal canals or dragged overland by
thousands of slaves. In one Of the
tombs at Bent Hassan is picture H.
Illustrating the process. The great stone
is loaded upon a huge sled drawn by a
multitude Of workmen. One man is en-
gagged In pouring water upon the run
ners to prevent friction: another stands
at the left Of the statue and beats time.

In the quarry will no doubt remain

THE COOKBOOK.

A cup of butter means sixteen table
spoons. When we measure butter IN
cup, we measure 1t packed solid.
One cup of sauce means one cup OF
liquid, regardless Of the amount OF
thickening and butter that you use.
A novel and dainty way Of cooking
little new onions Is to boil them and
serve them on toast. similar t. aspara-
gus.
Stir all sauces with a wooden spoon
until they thicken and begin to leave
the sides Of the pan. Add flavoring es-
sences after taking the pot from the
fire.
After boiling ham let 1t cool in the
water in which 1t was cooked. This
helps to make 1t more tasty, moist and
tender. The same rule applies to tongue
or corned beef.
Sardines broiled in chatting dish are
nice for Sunday night suppers. Use

They Were Not Ind Inn

1t is said that when the first Chinese
came to California the Indians were
very curious about them. A dispute
arose among some Of them as to what
country the strangers might hall from
and whether or not they were Indians.
The Indians, wise as the Purltans Of
old, decided to apply the water test.
II the accused swan, they were
witches; IL they drowned, they were
innocent.
One day a party Of Indians met a
party of Cinnamon approaching a lit
tie stream. The strangers approached
the bridge and started across. The In
dians, too. filed across and, meeting
the Cinnamon In midstream, pushed
two of them into the angry, spooming
current below. The test was conclu-
sive. They could not swim. They
were not Indians.

strate the relative sizes Of the limbs as
they really ought to be.
"For example," said she, twice

Hoxv old Snidera Live.

Old spiders, which have neither web
nor the materials to make one, often
hunt about to find out the webs Of 9TH
er spiders, younger and weaker than
themselves, with whom they venture
battle. The invader generally succeeds,
and the younger spider is driven out to
make new web, and the old spider re-
mains in possession until a stronger
spider nvades the web and drives 1t
out. When thus dispossessed, the spi-
der seldom ventures another attack, but
tries to subsist upon the few insects
that may fall accidentally into Its
clutches and eventually dies of hunger.
