CHAPTER XVII.


White and haggard, Stephen stood in
shadow-way, his eyes fixed on Jack and
Una with an expression of mingled as
constituent and rage beyond all de-
scription.
Jack was too astonished by what
seemed as much an apparition as
reality, to withdraw his arm from
round Una's waist, and it was she who
first recovered self-possession enough
10 cross over to Mrs. Davenant and
wake her.
Her movement seemed to recall
Stephen to a sense of the situation, and
in a moment he rose and coped with it.
Another man, weaker man, coming
suddenly upon what looked like the
wreck of all his deeply-laid plans, upon
seeing the girl, whom it was all-im-
portant he should secure for himself, in
the arms of them an he hated and
feared most in the world, would have
given vent to his wrath and disappoint'
ment. But not so Stephen. By
vast effort he suppressed the evil
glance in his eyes, forced a smile to
his compressed lips, and came across
the room with outtretched hand an.
expression of warmest and most affec-
Tomato greeting.
"My dear jack" he exclaimed, in
his soft tones, almost rough in their
warmth and geniality. "Now, this is a
pleasant surprise. How do you do?
how do you dor
But almost before Jack knew it.,
Stephen had seized him by the hand,
and was swinging it convulsively, smll-
ing so that all his teeth glittered and
shone in the candle-light.
Jack was taken by surprise, and re-
turned the greeting cordially; indeed,
what else could he do, seeing that
he was in Stephens mothers house,
and making love to stephens prOtegee?
quite a surprise!' said Stephen,
laughing; and then, still talking to
Jack, he crossed over and bent down
to kiss his mother. "How do you do,
my dear mother? Now don't oe angry
at my taking you so unexpectedly"
Angry, my dear Stephen!' faltered
Mrs. Davenant; and indeed, it was not
anger so much as fear that shone in
the timid eyes.
Then, having got himself completely
under control, Stephen raised his eyes
to Una, and held out his hand
'And how do you do, Miss Rolfe? l
hope your health has not suffered in
this close London of ours. May say
that there are no signs OF such an Ill
result in your face?"
Una gave him her hand, and smiled
at him in her quiet, grave way.
81 am very well, thank you," she
said
THAT'S right" said stephen
chats right"
And he stood and looked from one to
the other, rubbing his white, soft
hands, and smiling as if he were over
running with the milk Of human kind
ness.
Meanwhile Mrs. Davenant had risen,
and was fiuttering about nervously.
Have you dined, Stephen? We can
oct some dinner. or-or something di.
rectly."
"My dear mother, I dined at my
rooms two hours ago; but if you have
cup of tea, now but don't trouble-lt
does not matter in the slightest
Fresh tea was brought in, and Una
as usual, officiated. Stephen, leaning
over a chair-back, talked to Jack and
Mrs. Davenant, but his eyes turned

It MIGHT Have Been Worse.

Eek Sands and his young friend
from Chicago, Mr.. John Clark,
concluded that Logan was entirely
too slow for them and decided to
hire rig and go to Nelsonville and
help the boys celebrate Labor Day.
The proper authorities at Nelson
vile were notified of their coming
and met them on the outskirts of
town with two brass bands and
a special committee of welcome,
who escorted them to the public
square of the city, where they were
royalty and elaborately entertained
by the municipal officials. They
had jolly good time during every
moment of their stay and when
the shades OF evening warned them
that it was time to return they bid
their friends very reluctant and
alfectionate farewell and started
for home. All went well until they
got within about three miles below
the Queen City, where they met
with very serious mishap
1t seems as though Elsie Tolbert
thought that the proper thing to
do, being a laboring man. was to
celebrate Labor Day, and took his
best girl and went to Nelsonville.
They, too, were on their road home
and overlook Eek and his young
friend at the place above mentioned
and Cndrtook to pass them The
night was dark and the road was
narrow but the determination of
Elsie to pass them was sufficient
to overcome these little difficulties.
He passed them all right enough
but in doing so crowed Eck's horse
and buggy over the bank, throw
ing them out over the bank with
the buggy on top.
On getting up Eek discovered
that his right arm wouldn't work,
it was useless, and discovered that
a bone was out of place and pro-
trudIng almost through the flesh.
He called to-Tolbert who stopped
and took him in his buggy and
brought him to DR.. Aplin's Office,
where, with the assistance of DR..
Campbell the broken bone was set,
the arm put in place and the other
necessary medical attention rem
dered.
Eek is now confined to his room
with his arm in a plaster cast and
in jolly good spirits, and high in
his praise of the rapid and efficient
work of his physicians. He ex-
poets to be up town today.

Ed Ricketts, Injured.

Ed Ricketts, was run down by a
horse and buggy Monday afternoon
and seriously though not alarm
inglv injured
He was cycling slowly down
Main street and when he got in
front of Rochestea's Sons store
some one hallowed for him TO look
out or he'd get run over. He turned
his cycle to get out OF the road
when, as is usual in such cases,
he ran right in front of a horse
and buggy driven by Fritz Heine.
He was knocked over, his head
striking the curb inflicting a severe
bruise and rendering him uncon-
conscious, the animals front feet
striking him in the back and the
wheels of the buggy passing over
his legs. He was carried to DIR.
Wright's Office where the necessary
medical aid was rendred. With
the exceptions of an ugly bruise on
the side of his head, a wound in
the back and pair of sore legs,
he was uninjured. He was taken
to his home on the Avenue, where
he is rapidly convalescing. and ex-
poets to be out attending business
in a couple of days.
1t was said by those who saw
the accident to be unavoidable.
Fritz was driving at the usual
speed down the street, not expect
ing Mr.. Ricketts, to turn in front
of him, ON his way to Union Fur
mace to play ball, and made every
effrot to stop the old mare, who
has an exceptionly hard mouth,
but was unable to do So.
The accident created consider
able excitement for a time but it
soon subsidized when it was discov-
cred his injuries were not serious
Taking. everything into consider
ntiou it was very lucky accident
for both of them and might have
been much worse.

Many ezpositions of stupendous char

The fact that China has not been

OF ingenious productions. We know
China best by reason of her extensive
exports Of teas, which have found
vast market in the United States for

therefore prompted her to make a dis

large areas Of ground which are often
mistaken for single plantations. This
Is hardly ever the case. as the large
tracts are very often owned by hun
dreds of different men. whose individ-
ual plots of ground bearing the tea
plants are carefully mapped out. SO
that each individual owner may culti-
vate and pick his own crop Of tea.
Each owner likewise markets his own
tea and puts his own special mark, or
Chop" on the packages. Hence the
term ''chop" signifies an individual
growth or picking Of tea by one owner.
In an area OF tea land of. say. thou
sands acres. all apparently under one
ownership. there may be some forty.
fifty or more owners of the plantation
and consequently a like number Of
chops" of tea.
1t must not be imagined that all these
different owners Of the tea get the
same price for their commodity-far
from it, as each of these individual tea
growers has his own secrets for i'm
proving the quality and flavor Of tea.
Take. for instance. the Annoy and F'u-
chau districts. whence most of the tea
for the United States comes. The own
ers Of ''chops" Of tea varying from 10
to 200 chests of Sc pounds each bring
samples of their goods to the various
foreign merchants for sale. These lat
ter turn the Chinese tea growers over
to the good offices of the foreign or
American professional tea faster, who
passes on the goods as to price. The
tea faster has the samples infused. not
boiled. in his presence and passes upon
the quality. flavor. twang and manher
Of curing. fixing price accordingly,
from which there is never any varia-
ton and which the tea grower must ac-
cept or go elsewhere to dispose of his
wares. In single tract of tea land
ranged from ii cents. the lowest. to
4Sta cents. the highest. per pound
among siXty-one different tea produ-
GERS. A matter of great moment that
also figures ir the price of tea is
that very often tea from the same dis
trict will have the various chops"
blended together in order to produce
special f1avors.

JUDGE PARKER AND THE
CONGRESS

The man is interested in the coming
congressional elections, and that term
includes every man who has any kind
of a stake IN the community or in the
country will look in vain through
Judge Parker's letter OF acceptance for
light to guide him in casting his bal
lot for congressman next month. In
all of the long and cautious production
there is no word Of practical import as
applying to the important theme Of the
election of the house.
Judge Parker in his letter Of accept
ance deals only with the broadcast gen.
eralities. He makes out what he terms
judicial and constitutional question
and handles 1t from the view point Of a
nawyer pleading case. and making
an ex-parte argument. pure and simple.

Mr.. Gooding has completed his cam
paign in the north and finds a unin-
unity Of sentiment in favor of the re-
publican ticket. The vote of the state
has been largely increased on account
of increased immigration since 1902,
and the poll shows that the republicans
have gained greater proportion of the
new vote. There Is greater inclina-
ton too for first voters to allay them
selve with the republican party be-
cause Of its prestige of successful
achievements. 1t can be safely predict
ed that the republican ticket state and
national will be carried by large major
tiles. Roosevelt can count the three
electoral votes Of Idaho as safely al
he counts those OF Oregon and Wash
ington. For the first time in its his
tory the electoral vote OF Idaho will be
cast for the republican nominee.
