TAY'LOR'S
ROMANCE
BY Carl II. King
Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson,

Several events had happened in the
life of Zeb Taylor before his romance
came. For instance, he had grown up
to be twenty-three years old and had
become a farmers hired man; he had
almost become engaged to one farmers
daughter and fully engaged to anoth-
er's; he had read dozen love stories,
taken the prize at spelling school,
learned to play the accordion and writ
ten poem. 81
Such thing as summer boarder
had never been heard of at Sheldon's
Corners, but one evening after Zeb had
come up from the cornfeld his mother
looked at him in very wise manner
and half whispered:
''Zeb, you can never guess what's
happened! The Sheldons have got a
summer boarderv'
mo, by gosh!'

still washing dishes, but on the pbrch
sat the young woman with teeth as

had been preparing a little speech Of

fashion. When he came upon the sum

I lay peering over the cliff at the
tWitching rope that gave indjcat ions of

tWltch1ng rope that gave Indications OF
barrels movements. Then there ech-
Oed from the opposite side Of the RAJ
| vine a strange sound as Of the rafting
Of many castanets, followed by a
shrek OF such grisly terror as / never
again want to hear. The next instant
Darrell plunged forth from the mouth
of the cave, swung out from the face
of the cliff, swung back again against
the rock and, still shrieking horribly,
SO that the raYine reYerberated with
the sound Of it, slipped through the
blight Of the rope and fell headlong to
the rocks below. For a moment lay
there stricken, waiting for knew not
what thing of horror to issue from the
mysterious cavern. Then rushed
down to the aid Of my motionless COM
panion. Half the contents Of my flask
had been forced down his throat be-
fore he opened his eyes. But not to
consciousness did he open them. The
glare in them told me that. I tried to
recall his mind.
What was it, old man? What was
it 2" / asked him. s IiSsi
He half raised himself and tried to
speak. gasping and choking like a man
being strangled.
At my throat! They're throttling me-!
Help!'
He tore at his throat with mad
strength. Then his limbs relaxed, and
he fell back in my arms hfeless. I
believe in my inmost soul that it was
not the fall from the cliff, but sheer
terror, that killed him. s @
How I ever lived through that fear
full, horror haunted ride to the camp
don't know. I was crazy with fever
and delirium when I reached there.
It wasn't till weeks afterWard that
they told me Of the expedition that
went out to find and bury Darrell. My
rawlings and the map that they found
when they undressed me gave them a
working cleW to the tragedy, They
| found the rope tied to the tree, and two
Of the men went down and entered the
cave armed with stout clubs, for their
theory was that poor Darrell had been
killed by venomous snake. That
would not have explained his last
words, but what they found did. V A
few yards in from the entrance lay
sprawled a heap Of articulated skele-
tons. barrels hat was beneath the
heap. Cropping his way in, he had dis
placed slender post which held in
place on shelf above him the grim,
dead guardians Of the dead. They had
fallen upon the invader and claimed
him for their own. .zq.S
The men searched the cave. Row
after row of long dead mummies they
found, but little treasure. The brace
let that had cost Darrell his life and
one or two small gold carvings-that
was all But what Of the map and tbs
maker$of it? Did he perhaps visit the
cave and perish there Of terror? Were
his bones those That Darrell saw from
the entrance Of the cave? That is a
mystery that shall never solve that
and that other mystery Of who set,
against the profaning incursion Of the
| living, that grisly trap of the dead.

RailrOading Terms.

Rsilroading terms in England and
America differ very widely. The
English would speak of shunting a
train. We call it switching. Freight
trains they call goods trains, coaches
are carriages, conductors are guards,
engineers are drivers, trucks are bog
giles and freight cars are wagons. The
British say station instead of depot,
and in that they have the better of us.
Rails they call metals and tracks
permanent ways. They do not get
their tickets at ticket office, but at
a booking office, and the smokestack
of the locomotive is to them the chin
ney. A railroad man going from one
country to the other finds that he has
to learn an entirely new set of phrases
about his business.

Our Sensitive Spots.

Most of us have sensitive spots, or
sore spots, which we guard very
jealousy. They may be caused by
ugliness of face, deficient education,
lack of culture or manners, timidity,
or ignorance of etiquette; but, what
ever they are, we do not like to have
them uncovered, irritated, or paraded
before the world; and we resent it by
withdrawing our friendship, regard,
or respect from those who offend in
this way, and who thus make their
presence dreaded. We instinctively
like tactful people, because with
them we are not all the time on net
ties, id that they may uncover
the skeleton of the past, or rake up
some bit of unfortunate family his
tory, or touch any other of our sore
spots. We like to be with them, be-
cause they are agreeable. Their
words do not CRATE upon our nerves,
or irritate our sensitiveness. The
best-intentioned act, the sweetest
charity, may be marred by lack OF
tact. A lady was distributing tracts
to the patients in a certain military
hospital, when she was greatly
shocked to hear soldier laughing al
her. She turned around Indignantly
to reprove him, when he said: "Why
look here, madam, you have giver
me tract on the sin of dancing
when I've had both legs shot off,

AnUnexppcted Job


A Boston lady bought carpet, and
left orders to have a man sent to put
it down. A little while before he was
expected she gave directions to the
girl that would answer the door-bell.
"When he comes, Bridget" she
said, show him into the parlor and
tell him to go to work"
That was all that was said, and, of
course Bridget would have no trouble
in carrying out the instructions.
Presently the door-bell rang, and
Bridget answered the ring. A man
stood at the door.
"Come in," said the girl.
The man stepped into the reception
hall.
els Mrs. - IMP" he asked.
"She is not, but the missus said fur
you to step into the parlor and go to
work"
"To work? what do you mean?"
"Why, lay the carpet. There it is;
go to wurruk, an don't be loafin'
round here"
Of course the girl did not know
that the man was minister.-Er.

Show that Love Exists in the Home.

There is abundant reason for urging
upon the home circle, rich or poor, the
culture of love, without which no true
home culture can exist. How can it
be done? First, be willing to show
the love that already exists. 1t is
like plant with shriveled, dropping
leaves. Bring it out into the light;
show it; put it in the warmth of the
sun. Is the husband and father silent,
gloomy, withdrawn into himself,
brooding, perhaps, over the fact that,
no matter how hard he tries, he never
can meet the family demands? Show
him that you know he is tired, that
YOU love him for his constant effort,
that you love him the same even if
he has failed to do all he had hoped.
Show him how we'll and cheerfully
you can get on with little for this
time, sure that the next time he will
succeed. If you are his daughter
and have acquired the habit of think
ing of him chiefly as the man from
whom the money comes for the things
you need, get out of that relation by
planning to do or get something fol
him. Has your mother been in the
habit of reminding him that your
birthday was at hand? Find out his
birthday, and begin to plan, for that
little gift from every child, a song
sung for father, little speech from
his little son; little fun in which
you coax him to SHARE may NEAR
a new life to him because 1t means /;
new sense of how truly you love ant
believe in him. When it comes Il
showing the dear mother how yo'
love her, be sure you get father t.
help in planning the good time TO
her.-Success.

Fashion Note.

THE belt of black velvet ribbon
worn with fancy buckle is the most
universally becoming and useful belt
to wear with all kinds of gowns"
writes Mrs. Ralston in the Ladies'
Home Journal. "High girdles of flow
cred ribbon will be worn with odd
blouses and white gowns, and may
certainly be classed among the most
helpful accessories of ones simmer
costumes. These girdles are boned
in the front, side and back, where
they fasten and are finished with
small stiff bows. Silver braid in a
wide width, fastening with cut-steel
buckle, looks remarkably we'll with
either a black or white gown"

Beautiful Thre ads Of Gold

Beautiful Threa ads of Gold
Weaving into workaday life
Beautiful threads of goldl
A thread of Joy with strand OF strife,
And ever the hands which hold
Nav fashion them into patterns rare,
Designs of beauty, new and fair,
Till the Master weaver finds them there,
In beautiful threads of gold.
Weaving them in with patient hand,
Beautiful threads of gold!
Filling them in as the Master planned
When He laid life's sombre fold.
Weaving them in with homeliest cares,
Over some burden another bears
Rejoice that the Master-weaver spares
Some beautiful threads of gold.
Weaving them in with the hopes and fears
Beautiful threads of gold!
Brighter the gold of the thread appears
AS the web of life grows old.
Weaving them in with smile and song,
such wonderful threads, so fine and strong
Under the good and over the wrong
Weave beautiful threads of gold.

When to Set House Plants Outdoors

When to Set House Plants Outdoors.
Do not be in too great hurry to
put the house plants out of-doors for
the summer. That is the place for
them, if you can give them corner
where they will be sheltered from
strong winds and fierce sunshine, but
June is early enough for their
removal to it. By waiting until then
you avoid all danger of injury from
possible frosts and almost equally
harmful spells of cold weather. Cut
back those you care to keep for
another seasons use in the house.
Some of them may need reporting.
None of them should be allowed to
bloom during the summer.-Ladaes

Mistress and Maid.

AS the servants home is in the
house where she works the relation
between her and the mistress is more
close than that between clerks and
their employers or workers of any
other sort. For this reason there
must be more consideration than
when the situation can be called a
purely business arrangement.
Household service is business ar
rangement, and again it is not, and
those houseke epers who recognize the
twofold character of the situation are
the best calculated to succeed in solv-
ing the domestic problem. In the
business character of the situation, you
must demand prompt efficient labor,
honesty and cleanliness; but on the
other hanc, your laborer is member
of your family, and you will not secure
good results if you forget her woman
hood.
There is a great difference in peo-
ple's idea of being kind. But a kind
ly manner, orders given as requests,
little attention to the bodily condi
ton of the worker, a little friendly
advice on matters of dress or similar
things that concern her as a woman
experimenting a clean and comfort
able room, is certainly good type Of
kindness -Ezchdnqe.

A REMARKABLE STORY.

Rev. DR.. Talmage in an address in
Philadelphia gave this remarkable
illustration of the power of coLse-
Grated printers ink. GA good many
years ago there was an unknown
woman who passed along a road and
thought, Here is religious tract. I
will just drop this on the road and
offer prayer, and who knows but
what some bad man will come along
and pick up this tract, and it may save
his soul. So the woman passed on.
Sure enough little while after there
came very bad man along, and it
was Richard Baxter. He picked up
that tract, and it brought him to God,
and was the means of his eternal sal
vation."
Richard Baxter wrote book
entitled the "Call to the Unconverted"
which brought thousands into the
kingdom, among others Philip Dodd :
ridge. He wrote another book
entitled "Rise and Progress of the
Religion of the Soul" It's harvest q
uncounted multitudes for the kingdom
of heaven, among others the great
Wilberforce. Wilberforce wrote a
book on the 'Practical Views of Chris
tianity." Ithas done good beyond all
earthly computation, and brought
many into the kingdom, among others
Leigh Richmond. Leigh Richmond
wrote tract called the "Dairyman's
Daughter" 1t has brought tens oil
thousands to the Lord Jesus Christ as
Saviour, and all that tide OF infu-
ence rolling down through Richard
Baxter, through Doddridge, through
WHEREFORE, through Leigh Richmond
on and on forever. Shall that woman
get no reward? tell you her reward
is just as great in heaven as that o.

Wherefore, of Leigh Richmond

Fifty Years Old.

Zion's Herald, the organ of the
Methodist Episcopal church, was fifty
years old this month, as the first num-
Der was issued May 3, 1852. The paper
was started, however, as daily, and
from the date it was first placed
before the Methodist brethren assem-
bled in Boston for the general confer
ence until June 5, it appeared each
day. Non's Herald was started in
order that Methodists all over the
country might receive complete
reports of the proceedings of the con-
ference.

Spontaneous Combustion.

The coal dump at Garbarini's black
smith shop came near causing fire by
spontaneous combustion a few days
ago 1t is of the half-made variety
from the Jackson valley coal mine
They call it wood -coal-in contradis-
tinction from the hard or stone coal
although OF course all coal is of vege-
table origin. This local stuff is midway
between coal and wood. Many pieces
may be picked up from the dump hav-
ing more of the characteristics of wood
than coal. 1t can be slivered with q
knife, like a piece of pine wood. 1t
carries large percentage OF sulphur.
Some days ago, the heap, which was
about six to eight feet high, was
noticed to be smoking. They set to
work to ascertain the cause, and at the
depth of two or three feet from the
surface the coal was found so hot as to
become uubearable to the naked hand
A good soaking averted the danger.
1t was fortunate, however, that the
matter was noticed in time, as a few
hours more might have started blaze.

MINING NEWS.

The Mitchell mine has struck a rich
chute of ore at the 200 level, and the
additional 10 stamps will be started
up soon.
The Horn Mining Company is vigor-
ously developing their property, and
expect in less than month to be ship
ping ore for treatment. Samples of
rock left at the Ledger Office will go
between 5000 and $500 per ton.
John McKelvey, an Oakland capital
ist, has a man at work on the Belmont
mine prospecting for the pay chute
The old works have been closed down
for nearly two years, but it is believed
pay chute exists further down the
hill.
John Williams and D. Fisher il.
have contracted to sink the shaft of
the Edinburgh G. Mg. Co. The COM
pany had milling test made of the
rock which gave hattering results. A
road is under construction to facilitate
hauling the machinery to the mine.
J. F. Parks has resigned as superin-
tendent of the South Eureka mine,
which position he has held ever since
the company was inaugurated and work
started. His resignation was due to
the fact that his duties at the Kennedy
demand his undivided attention. The
resignation will take effect from Sept
1st on which date John Truscott will
take charge as superintendent.
