A BOTANICAL DEDUCTION.
BY BELLE MANIATEs.

Copyright 1905, Daily Story Pup. COL
 Allene was not a debutante, but this was the eve of her coming-out party. After she had been graduated from the fashionable finishing school she had spent two years abroad with her aunt and cousins as travelling companions. So she had mingled but little in the so- ciety of her home city since she was Il school girl.
 During these last four years. her heart had fiuttered in many ways but flown in none, and she was still heart whole, though not exactly fancy free. and she was looking forward with some curiosity as to the men she would meet tonight.
 Among the many offerings of fow- CTS she had received In honor of the coming event. three boxes had partic- ularIy attracted her interest One held the conventional glorious American beauties, longstemmed and full blos- somed. The box was accompanied by the visiting card, correct in every de- tail of Mir. Schuyler Elton Van Rensler whom she had first met while at school In New York. He had joined her aunts party once or twice in their travels and by invitation he was to be present at her homecoming party. "rhe flowers and card are like him. she thought-"the very best to be had -faultlessly faultless. American beau. ties are, of course. beyond criticism but dead perfection bores me-some- times"
 The next box held her favorite fow-

CT, violets. Instead of a card, a note met her eye as she lifted the cover. She recognized the boyish scrawl with a little thrill of pleasure. Ned Holmes, four years her senior. had been her at . tendant back in the high school days. How proud she had been to receive let ters from a student, and junior at that. She had been to his college town 10 see him play football. and had in consequence been the envy of her classmates.
 You see have not forgotten your favorite flower" he wrote. 'T trust also that you have not forgotten your friend of schooldav times"
 It gave her pleasure now to recall
 those days. and Of course. it was flat tering to have her tastes so we'll re- membered The third box! what a blissful day was recalled by the deli cate odor of the large bunch of wake
 robins reposing on their bed of moss! It was like the donor. she reflected. to enclose neither note nor card-simplv a
 message from the woods--the reminder of one perfect, verto-be-forgotten day. It had been during a brief visit home in the spring of her last year at the city school when she was but IS. and her head was filled with dreams of ideals. All her favorite heroes she likened unto Kenneth Allen. the son of their family physician. She had been called home on account of the illness of her mother. pr. Allen, senior, was

the studios in Paris that I know you will like" she said. At what hour tomorrow can you come and see it?"
 Any hour-the earliest you can re. ceive me-"
 Eleven o'clock, then" she said. He went home with his heart torn with the conflict of hope and doubt.
 When he called the next morning. he found her in her own special morn- Ing room. She was fair and dainty in white linen gown. Tn @ blue bowl 0 the table were his flowers. His heart gave a wild leap. Z
 They are not just the fashionable flowers for a ball room," he said with smile.
 That was not the reason I did not carry this," she replied.
 What was the reason?" he demand ed.
 T will tell you--sometime." That time came quicker than she ex- pected. In fact, an hour later when she had promised to be his wife. Wont you tell me why you did not carry the fowers? he persisted.
 "They were too lovely to carry into heated room, but in any event | would not have carried your flowers until knew that the thought had of you was merely young girls fancy. or deeper feeling. As soon as I saw you come into the room last night my heart told me what have told you and so was glad had kept my flow CTS and their message for today"

that he was a competent and skillful doctor
 Hitherto Allene had seen but little of Kenneth. He had been away at cof- lege. a year Tn a hospital in New York and q year in Berlin. He avoided all social functions and seemed shy with women. In her mothers sick room, however. there had sprung up one of those swift. strong friendships and per- ception of each others thoughts that so rarely comes to one.
 When Mrs. Witherton was quite con- valescent, Allene had followed the young doctor out onto the porch one day as he was departing.
 My father returns today" he said abruptly, "and am going to give my self holiday"
 "where are you going?" she asked
 "Tn the woods? Will you go with me? You need some outdoor life, too.''
 That afternoon in the beautiful woods where they had gathered huge handsful of wake robins always stood out as the threshold of her maiden hood. His eyes had spoken though his lips had been silent.
 'T return to school tomorrow" she had said wistfully, as they were part ing.
 His eyes grew darker but he had only bidden her conventional good bye.
 T hope Kenneth isn't in love with Allene." she had overheard her mother say to her father that night.
 "Allene is a child" had been the re- assuring reply, and Kenneth is too proud to tell a rich mans daughter of his love"
 Her heart had only been touched, not stirred. Many times during her pro- longed absence she had thought of him but now the flowers had smote the chord of memory sharply and she viv- idly recalled that summer afternoon.
 (Which flowers shall carry to- night?" she debated. "the roses are

 He had been at the express office when Van Rensler had called to see If his roses had arrived, and he had also chanced in at the florists when Ned was ordering the violets

 He came into the reception room, and again the fairest face In the world was raised to his. She gave him a cordial greeting, but his jealous eyes could detect no difference in her man. ner of meeting others present. She carried no flowers. He saw the roses in a vase and the violets in a bowl, but no wake robins were. in sight. nor did she refer to them in any way. He se- cured a dance with her, but not a word was spoken. Then followed a moment or two in the conservatory, but she did not allude to the flowers g nor former days, and he was too proud to do anything but follow her lead. She was surrounded by little knot of friends throughout the evening and he did not see her again until he went to bid her good night. She drew him one side.

 from Death,

Kenesha, Wis, Dec. 14.-Walter Cav anaugh, former center on the Univer- sity of Chicago football team, had a narrow escape from a horrible death today when he became caught on the main shaft at the plant of the Simmons Manufacturing Company. His great strength enabled him to brace himself against the ceiling and keep himself from being drawn on to the shaft. He was able to hold out until his clothing was torn off and being thus released he fell to the floor.
 An investigation showed that no bones had been broken. but the mus cles are terribly strained.

 Hamilton, Dec. 14.-(Special.)- )-The weather has been good for the farmers to gather their crops for this year, but they have been somewhat disap- pointed as to the yield of corn, it being about eight bushels less per acre than formerly. Corn has sold for sixty cents per bushel at the field.
 The people of this county are in a stir over the stock law question. If the money should be paid out of the county treasurery to pay for the fenc- ing of the different precints now pe- titioning for an election, scattered as they are over the different portions of the county, 1t will cost more money than the county will be able to pay in ten years.
