country"
Not lies" doggedly; q sides yer want to beat

Mrs. Murkle stopped suddenly and caught her
in her
Il want you to love me-" she said, "and be
my own little girl :"
For moment Harriet lay still and glowered
! at her cut of distrustful green eyes. and then
the mother love beaming down at her overcame
her and broke her stubborn little heart to bits.
With hungry cry she flung her arms round
Mrs Nurke's neck and buried her face against
her shoulder
A minute later and the two figures, one tall
and slim and the other very small, entered
through the broken hole in the boarding into
the cool shadow of the arch.
At first Mrs Murkle could nothing, but
by degrees she saw a sight which nearly made
her burst out laughing for there were the twins
sitting in q little round nest made of straw
and Sacking and blankets, and both peeping out
al her like startled rabbits.
Oh you dears, you dearsI' she cried, and fall
ing on her knees cudded them all up together
in her arms.
Alr. Murke meanwhile had uncOrded his wife's
box. put the kettle on and laid the tea, putting
out all the best cracked cups and saucers to the
best advantage, and had also brought out the
new cake the shrimps and the watercress. and
made as he himself said, quite an 'andsome
spread of it, and mistake" Then he went to
the window and looked rather gloomily
into the street
| He was troubled. and many memories of what
might have been We're vcxing him tonight.

Why had he often shirked his responsibilities
with his children, and not corrected them wheH

her new stepmother. and not explained things

Cooperation In Farming.

The Dane thoroughly understands
the value of cooperation. Butter was
at first made on every farm, but part
iy owing to the difficulty of procuring
trained butter makers, partly to the
smallness of the farms, Danish butter
was at first of uncertain quality and
fetched low price in England. So
the goahead Danish farmer combined
with his fellows, and at the present
day almost every parish has its Good
erative dairy. On an average $50
small farmers combine together to ss-
tabish a dairy, subscribing between
them $1,000, that is eight pounds
sterling each, this being enough cap
ital for dairy of $50 cows. A coop
erative society has also been formed
for organized egg collecting for ex-
port. Local societies are established
all over the country, whose members
engage to deliver fresh eggs. They
are fined five pounds six shillinps for
every bad egg delivered after fair
warning.-London Express.

DRIVEN INTO A CORNER.

away to the Stanton avenue station,
where it was locked up with the pa
4 troll horses.
Shortly before six o'clock a wom-
an entered the police station and in
formed Lieut.. Murphy that thieves
were cutting out the lead pipe in the
basement of the vacant building,
which is but half a block from the
station. Officers Cody and Fleming
were sent to the place, and while
Fleming forced open the rear door
Cody stood guard in front. As Flem-
, ing entered he heard a noise in the
front and made his way thither. As
he opened door he was attacked
by the goat. Fleming stepped aside,
but the goat did the same trick.
The officer hit the goat over the head
with his club, but the blows had no
effect on the animal. The goat drove
the officer into a corner and he drew
his revolver, but instead of again at
lacking the officer the goat plunged
through window and, with lowered
head, rushed straight for Cody. Cody
tried to escape, but the animal struck
him, knocking him down. Cody re-
gained his feet and seized the ami
NAL by the horns and the struggle
continued.
Fleming reached the scene just as
1t seemed that Cody must give up
the struggle, as he was nearly ex-
hausted. Fleming seized the goat by
the horns and beard and, throwing
the animal over his shoulder, still
retaining his grip on the beard, car
ried it into the lieutenant's Office.

THE RING WAS GONE.
Story of a Magic Lantern Seance
and a Young Man in Love.
Missed the Diamond He Had Given
Her from Jessie'H Finger and
Finally Found That He Was
Counting Another Girl.

Thomas Schureman, who lives on
Holly avenue, in West indianapolis
few weeks ago made a bad loan
and, in lieu of the money, he was
overwhelmed with the borrowers
gratitude and a magic lantern. The
gratitude, thought Schureman, was
without practical value, but the
magic lantern might be pressed into
service. The machine was set up and
. number of private exhibitions were
given, attended by Mr.. Schureman,
the operator and Mr.. Schureman's
dog, Blk.
A state of perfection was reached

Q number of friends were invited tc

host, he invited a man who was en-.
gagged TO a girl. The man could not
appear on time, but the girl took her
chair at the hour set. The seat al
her side was reserved for the young
man.

ours of low degree. They carefully
sequestered the brutes until the fol-
lowing day, and next morning at class
hour each student appeared in the leo
ture-room with one OF two dogs care
fully tucked under his arms.
The professor was bewildered, says
the Chicago Chronicle, but his be-
wildsrment turned to alarm In a few
minutes when the mischievous stu
dents turned the dogs loose in the leo
turs-room. The animals upon being
given their freedom immediately en-
gagged In an internecine riot and the
yelps and bowls to which the wounded

the newcomers could pry the belliger-
ents apart and restore order.
