Sometimes Mrs. Meadows thought
Mary had a glimmoring OF reason. for
she would often say: Jack. Jack, dear
jack" but she only repeated the words
as the widow hnd taught her.
Old Morley would wander about with
the girl who had once been his chief
pride and delight: but the merest boy
in the village. or the smallest girl.

or exercise.
She had not only lost her gaycty. but
her physical strength. as IL seemed.
She would walk with her uncle over
the meadows by the abbey along the
banks OF the Aire. but she would rest
oftener than the old man himself lie.

for her than the gibbet by the planta-
tion where the abbey murder was COM
mitted.
Mrs. Meadows would often say that II
was mercy after all that Divine
Providence had taken away Mary's rea-
son. since the man who had worn her
ribbon In his hat was now a shupeless
awful thing swinging in dreadful state
with chains and iron collar, in the
wind. as e whistled down the valley.

hours and talk 20 Mary OF her love
and OF the time when he might re-
turn.
Old Morley went TO tho inn.
The talk was OF the old days when
Morley was the landlord.
Tom waited upon him hand and foot.
Mr.. Taylor proposed his health In
some touching words Of remembrance
glancing only at the fatal shadow
which had fallen upon his old age. and
enforcing the moral that they must all
bend TO the decrees OF Providence.
Old Morley sat and smiled In q
mournful way at the kindly efforts OF
his neighbors and friends TO comfort
him.
They had sent for him In a chaise
and promised Mrs. Meadows 10 see him
safely 10 the farm in time for her, and
him and Mary. to hear the Christmas
bells begin to ring; for. although the
bells were few and the ringers were
not experts. they did manage TO salute
the holy morn" at Kirkstall. and II wa,

AZ well as the gay. TO hear the GLAD
tidings and To believe In them.
But the bells. II they rang for Mary

She heard them no more on earth.

The man I'm the stable door gave
the hose a Jerk. but before Il cleared
the sidewalk the woman had landed
on II with both feet.
Wouldn't that jar you?" grunted
hc. with another tug. according TO the
New York Times. II never could
understand what makes women so
crazy aoout stepping on hose. any
way. I've been attending to lawns
and gardens and sidewalks for n good
many years and never yet have seen
n woman go''past while the hose was
stretched across the pavement that
she didn't plant both feet on IL and
teeter around for awhile just for ex-
ercise.

them / can't for the life OF me see
use to think that the practice indicat-
cd a remnant OF childish playfulness
and that they were so dlsporting
themselves just 20 see the water play
out I'm an extra spurt. but I've noticed
lately that they never even look at the
fountain end OF the tube. so I've come
20 the conclusion that they know all
that humping will injure the hose
and so perform their little stunts out
OF sheer deviltry. But whatever the
cause OF the practice. II certainly Is n
fact that nlne-tenths OF the women
passing along the street cannot resist
the temptation to step on the hose"

There seems good reason for sup
posing that the lily OF the valley,
which has always been the fayorite of
Queen Alexandra. will take n very
prominent place In the coronation
decorations next June, says the Lon

Gs II happens. that the bloom Is at its

lily OF the valley can. In these days
be had 20 almost any extent. and at
any time OF year. owing TO "a system
OF forcing which. by a curious coinci-
dence. was fret practiced In this coun-
try on the kings estate at Sandring-

cradle repute set up the first factory

the consideration that the soil closely

what he did Was 10 import crowns, E"
as they were termed. and then, by the
utilization OF artificial heat. 20 bring
them 10 the towering stage as and
when desired. So well understood Is
the practice In this respect that the
lily OF the valley may be made to
bloom TO order. and the initiated
know not only the day. but the hour
when the process will be completed.
On the other hand. by means OF cold
storage. the stock OF crowns can be
kept In an undCyelopod state for a
long while. 80 as to bo always ready
for drawing upon as circumstances
arise.
June being the month OF roses. there
was some anticipation that these
would be regarded as the coronation
flowers; but the facts outlined above
make II plain that the very general
employment OF the queens favorite
would be not only n graceful compli-
ment TO her majesty. but would have
the charm OF novelty, besides present
ing no scr.Cus dlnicu ~. Out OF season
