not aimlessly wandering. The little
god Cupid had to do with his wander
ings. Paul was thinking OF Hide
garde.
That haunting face, with its melting.
brown eyes, was the lode star that
drew the recluse from his den.
And pray, who was Hildegarde?
Truth to tell, Paul would not have
been wholly able to have given def
mite answer to that question had he
been asked.
Some weeks ago he haa met her in
rather strange way that bordered a
little on the romantic. Chance had al
lowed him to do her a favor, slight
enough in its way, but when she
thanked him SO sweetly, the mischief
was done, for with the modest grace
OF those velvety brown orbs the little
god of love had shot an arrow true
to the mark, and ever since Paul had
felt it's point In his heart.
Several times he had seen her since,
and on each occasion had received a
bow and blush Of recognition. But
no more.
However, on the occasion Of their
meeting, she had dropped small 'ker-
chief, which Paul had discovered, and
now he was on his way to her house
to, he hoped, become definitely ac-
quainted.
He found the house readily enough,
and was shown into a small, dimly
lighted parlor where he was to await
the coming Of the lady of the house.
1t was just at this moment that his
ear caught the sound of laughter.
1t came from the next room, and
was as merry and free from care as
any sound he had ever heard-fresh,
girlish laughter that quickened his
pulse. since he could give very good
guess as to the source from whence it
came.
Few temptations arise that there
| does not also appear the means of
| gratifying the desire, and in this case
he noted the fact that the connecting
| door between the room in which he
awaited the pleasure of the tardy aunt
and the adjoining apartment was ajar.
Utterly unconscious of what awaited
him. he advanced gently toward the
opening, and with eager eyes sought
the object of his solicitude
Success Immediately attended his eff
forts, for he discovered the nymph of
the hazel brown eyes in direct range.
She had evident cause for merriment,
and as Paul turned his eyes toward her
companion he saw that it was a man.
The party's back was turned to him
so that he could not discover whether
| he were young or old, comely or ugly,
| though he hoped the latter.
While Paul stood there wondering
what all the fun was about and cha
grined to think he was not in it, the
man faced about, and the American
felt cold chill chase up and down bis
spinal column when, amid the multi
bandages he discovered the handsome
sinister countenance of his bitter en-
envy, Conrad Hoffman.

An Opinion on Beet Pulp Feed.


At California convention, Mr..
Newball said: 1t would be difficult to
economically feed pulp away from the
factory, as transportation and hand
ling Of pulp is quite expensive. Fac
tories sell pulp at from 10 to rs cents
per ton; the former price has been the
custom when taken away from the fac
tory, the latter when eonveniences and
facilities for feeding cattle have been
furnished at or near the factories. |
doubt any profitable use for beef-feed-
ing at over Is cents per ton for pulp.
At this price, and the usual value OF
grain and hay or straw, it will cost
from $500 to $1,000 per head to put
the animal into good marketable con-
dition. At the present and usual price
of purchase and sale # cattle in Call
fornia these figures $500 to $4,000
are the full margin of profit when fat
tened on grass on the ranges and
without any extra cost Of feeding. l
am of the opinion that under ordinary
conditions in our state, except by
small farmers, pulp, or in fact any
feeding, cannot be probably carried
on; but pulp is a most excellent thing
to have in this state to fall back on
in case of emergencies, like dry years
and seasons when cattle do not prop
erly fatten on the ranges. l believe.
however, that small farmers who do
their own work can purchase cattle.
fatten them, and sell to profit that
would be satisfactory to them, es-
pecially as lots can be turned of ev-
cry three or four months. This would
be especially true of farmers in the
localities where sugar beets are raised,
and long start made by feeding beet
tops, and which would require but lit
tie time, say one month, for finishing
on pulp with grain and hay.

joining in the general jubilation, let US
pause for a moment to shed one tear
over two regrets. While Miss Stone is
here in the madding crowd, cutting
coupons AMI coming money. who, let
US ask, is to look after the poor. but
as Miss Stone herself admitted-hand-
some brigands' spiritual welfare? What
a pity. too. that Miss Stone might not
have been accompanied by a press
agent during her strenuous life in the
mountain Businesses. With his aid she
might have accumulated sufficient
stories to have filed the land with
tEree-sheet posters. In short. she
might have paid off her own ransom
out of her press agents fervid fancies.
At the same time. from the amount OF
advertising already accomplished. it
must be admitted that as her own
press agent she is doing as well as can
be expected. And after all, perhaps,
in her absence. the brigands may not
fare so badly. Now that it is known
that so many of them are handsome.
others may even brave the dangers OF
| being kidnapped in order to carry on the
good work of their civilization.-New

YOUNG TEDDY ON GRIDIRON.
Presidents Son Breaks His Shoulder
in Foot Ball Game.

The gallant fight made recently by
young Teddy" Roosevelt at Groton
against an attack of disease that would
have done for almost any other lad
less robust. lends timely interest to an
incident that occurred just after his
father WIS sworn in as president of
the United States.
Young Teddy was playing foot ball
Like his father, he never does things
by halves. so he played foot ball as if
his very existence depended on it, max
ing it point of honor to be where the
crush was thickest and the struggle
most fierce. Whenever the game
threatened to slack off, Teddy saw to it
that an extra dose of vim was injected
BY and by the presidents son was seen
tO ms wild GlsA for goal, tia bill
tucked under his arm. He was almost
within reach OF victory when the OPP
position fell on him in a body. For
several minutes nothing was visible
except a squirming mass of arms and
legs, with an occasional glimpse of 4
dirty face surmounted by bushy hair.
Gradually the mass resolved itself into
the shape of distinct boys. Teddy, of
course. was at the bottom-had been
! there all along. When it came his time
to get up. it was noticed that his face
was very white.
Whats the matter? You aren't hurt,
are you?" inquired half a dozen anx-
ious voices. Teddy said he wasn't, but
| his tones We're rather shaky, and some
| how he didn't seem able to rise with
his accustomed spryness.
Sure you're all right?' demanded
the captain of the opposing team.
Quite sure" was the steady answer
| Go on with the game.
| Just then one of the instructors ar
rived. He saw at a glance that there
/ was something wrong.
You'd better quit till you get your
wind" the man urged, and with much
reluctance Teddy yielded. remarkins
incidentally that his shoulder felt
wrong" An examination showed that
| the collar bone was broken. The boy
walked off the field, and only a few
persons there knew that he had been
seriously hurt. AS soon as the break
had healed Teddy went back to foot
ball with his old-time fervor.-Satur-

APPLE TREES FOR BEAUTY.

Apple trees are so beautiful. even
when bare of bloom and fruit. that
they should be grown in pleasure gar
dens, like lilacs and laburnums Ten
nyson speaks of orchard lawns. and
there is no reason except bad taste
why they should not have a real eX-
istence. The gloom of the fir tree,
magnificent no doubt in it's own north :
ern forest, is mere incongruous dreari-
ness when it is dotted about a suburb
an lawn. Nothing will thrive under it.
and often it will not thrive itself, but
the apple, with all the associat ted
beauty of the countryside, gives us
fruit and blossom and grateful shade
In the grass under it will grow daft
fodils, columbines, irises and MANY
other plants. Or it may be trained as
hedge to divide one part of the gar
den from another. and with all these
uses may still produce great crops of
fruit. 1t would be pleasant task for
the suburban gardener with his half
acre of ground to grow three or four
choice apple trees with the care that
others give to roses.-London Speaker
