heart upon the sleeve. Then he had
that strong vein of prudence and eau
ton which, in view of Marys unattain-
ableness, would probably come to his
help. But never was mans heart strong
enough to resist Mary Tudor's smile
for long.
There was this difference between
Brandon and most Others-he would be
slow to love, but when love should once
fairly take root in his intense nature he
would not do to trifle with.
The night after the meeting Mary
cuddled up to Jane, who slept with her,
and whispered, half bashfully:
Tell me all about Brandon. 1 am
interested in him. I believe if I knew
more persons like him I should be a
better girl, notwithstanding he is one
OF the boldest men I ever knew. He
says anything he wishes and. with all
his modest manner, is as cool with me
as If were burgher's daughter His
modesty is all on the outside, but it is
pretty, and pretty things must be on

Judson thought him modest
Jane talked Of Brandon to Mary, who
was in an excellent humor, until the
girls fell asleep.
When Jane told me of this, became
frightened, for the surest way to any
woman's heart is to convince her that
you make her better and arouse in her
breast purer impulses and higher aspi-
rations. 1t would he bad enough should

which was almost sure to happen,
but for them to fall in love with each
other meant BrandOn's head upon the
block and Mary's heart bruised, broken
and empty for life. Her strong nature
filed to the brim with latent passion
was the stuff Of which love makes a
confagration that burns to destruc-
ton, and should she learn to love Bran
don she would move heaven and earth
to possess him.
She whose every desire from child
hood up had been gratifed. whose
every whim seemed to her a para
mount necessity, would stop at moth
ing when the dearest wish a WOman's
heart can coin was to be gained or lost.
Brandon's element of prudence might
help him and might forestall any ef-
fort OH his part to win her, but Mary
had never heard of prudence, and
mans caution avails but little when
set against woman's daring. In case
they both should love they were sure
to try for each other and in trying were
equally sure to find ruin and desola-
ton.
A few evenings after this met the
princess in the queens drawing ROOM
She beckoned me to her and, resting
her elbows on the top of a cabinet, her
chin in her hands, said: II met your

answer came: ''Thar you shall not. But
here is the queen, and 1 suppose we
must have the ber,ediction." Brandon
understood her hing, that the preaching
was over, and, taking it for his dismiss
al, playfully lifted his hands in imita-
ton of the old bishop Of Canterbury
and murmured the first line of the Lat
in benediction. Then they both laughed
and courtesied, and Brandon walked
away.

LESSON IN DANCING.
(MY LAUGHED heartily when Jane
l8l i told me Of the tilt between
y6aMSAS Brandon and Princess Mary,
&SeSsSJ the latter of whom was in the
habit Of saying unkind things and be-
Ing thanked for them.
Brandon was the wrong man to say
them to, as Mary learned. He was not
hot tempered-in fact, just the reverse
but he was the last man to brook an
attront and the quickest to resent in a
cool headed, dangerous way an inten-
honal offense.
He respected himself and made 9TH
ers do the same, or seem to do SO at
least. He had no vanity, which is but
an inordinate desire for those qualities
that bring self respect and often the re-
suit of conscious demerit, but he knew
himself and knew that he was entitled
to his own good opinion. He was every
inch a man, strong, intelligent and
brave to temerity, with reckless dis.

have been dangerous had it not been

Bad for Small Loggers.


The past season has not been a prof
liable one for small loggers, although
the large contractors have been more
successful.
While the season was as long as usual,
the snow fall was heavy, and where a
comparatively small amount of logs
were to be hauled over road the ex-
pense Of keeping road in condition
was very large.
The snow was deep on ice in the
lakes, and delayed the freezing so that
heavy loads could not be hauled over
lakes.
Large operators could afford to over
come some of these difficulties, but
nearly all of the small loggers have
found the season very expensive one,
and have banked less logs than they
planned.-Little Falls Transcript.

The Lumber.jack.

In the Crookston Times of recent
date J. E. Colby. himself a lumberjack
of large experience and many years
standing, enters vigorous defense of
the men who toll and MOL in the woods
for livelihood. Mr.. Colby asserts his
belief that the lumber worker is not a
harder drinker nor more prohigate as a
class than any other human type would
be under the same conditions as those
which confront the woodsmen. On the
contrary, he believes that the so-called
debauchery of the lumberjack is dis
counted in the cities every day under
circumstances of life that afford far less
excuse for the counting of oblivion in
the poisoned cup.
with all that has been said as to
the lumberjack's desperately drunken
habits" said Mr.. Colby, mot a word
have [ seen in his defense, and take
it that there are classes of people in
this world who have to take their lash
ings from the press much as a work
horse takes a stroke of the whip.
Neither unfortunate is able to voice his
indignation.
II believe that if the men who are
talking so loudly of the lumberjack's
degeneracy knew something of his sur
roundings of the horrible quarters with
which he must content himself in the
woods, their denunciations would be
less forceful.
1.-The writer's of these attacks posi-
bly, live under decent sanitary condi-
tions. The lumberjack does not. His
home in the woods is primitive to a
degree. There are two log houses, 80
by 60. In one of these the men spend
their evening and sleep. In the other
they have their meals.
'There are from Is to $50 men in the
sleeping house during the evening.
Every man of the lot has a pipe in his
mouth. After they have been smoking
for an hour one could cut the atmos-
phere into sections with meat ak.
Hung up to the beams of the roof are
from 200 to 300 pairs of socks and per-
haps a hundred shirts, reeking with
the sweat of honest toll. To say that
the socks reek would be like referring
to lanyard as the origin of an efflu-
vium.
AFTER the air in the log house has
been properly contaminated the men
turn in and sleep. You will see the
wise dispensation of Providence in hav-
ing given the lumberjack coarse sensi-
bllltles. Imagine the delights of life
under such conditions for one of the
gentlemen who write things anent de-
generacy.

that IT a rancher kept the same num-
Der OF cattle in shed of the same size
as IS the average lumberjack's sleep
house, he would be arrested for cruelty
to animals as soon as the humane So
ciety could connect with him.
The lumberjack is compelled to walk
several miles to his work before day.
light in the morning. He must be on
the spot ready to swing his arms on the
first stroke of the days work when the
sun rises. He is working for con-
tractor who wants every dollar there is
in it and is seldom a loser if he can
help it. The lumberjack eats his noon

every bite OF it is frozen as hard as ten
penny nails. At night, he works until
darkness makes it impossible for him

STANFORD. Conn. April 9.-Judge Will

called upon to decide whether the courts

ried at New Canaan on Aug. rs, 1889. They

court. Weed answered that abe was not
divorced legally. The case now comes

Robert Grier Monroe, Commissioners OF

Counsel had advised him that he had no
right to insist that no work shall be done
on the electrical subways except under
the super vision of inspectors appointed
by him and paid by the subway people at

The subway companies which are already

for such work appointed by the Borough
President, declare the additional inspectors
and expense are unnecessary.

pany is said to have sent to the Commits

setting two city officers to watch the sub
way companies was manifestly unfair to
them. Il was certain to lead to conflict
between the two sets Of inspectors.
in all these years said he. no appoint
ments have ever been made, except by the
cessor, the Commissioner Of Highways and
the Borough President. with whom the
power now lies. Even when the subways
came under special commission, that COM
mission did not appoint the inspectors
IL Mr.. Monroe is right, why. II his depart
ment should ever be divided we might have
four inspectors on one job, one for the pave
ments. another for the water pipes. another
for the electric conduits and still another
for the gas pipes.
Mr. Cantor declared that there has never
been any serious complaint Of any kind
against the inspection Of the subways as
heretofore provided for and that there was
no reason for Q change now. One OF the

recently, he added, that Commissioner
Monroe had notified II that Il would
have to hs We his inspectors for Its work.
