peared in the pantry.
Royal glowered at the bare wall for
a minute; then a smile suddenly spread
over his face. and he went back into
the drawing room, whistling cheerful
ly.
The dinner was faultlessly cooked
| and served, and after it was over,
and her mo -or came out, insisting
on washing the dishes, tired Ange
bathed her face, put Oh a fresh, White
gown, and taking a book, sought the
solitude of the orchard.
She climbed to her %favorite seat in
the fork of an old apple tree, and had
been there long enough to get rested
and cool, when a gentleman came
sauntering along through the shady
sweetness Of the old orchard.
Ange did not see him in time to run
away, OF even get down from her
perch, and sat still and almost breath
less, hoping he would pass by with
out seeing her.
But he came on, straight to that

brushing his sleeve.
He glanced up, and said quickly:
Il beg your pardon"
1T is granted" she said, frigidly,
apparently intent on her book.
He stood still.
Il am a stranger here; came down
with my friend Royal Dent this morn
ing. You are a member of the family
l I"esume?" lifting his hat, and
speaking in the most respectful tone.
Ange raised her sparkling eyes, 4
slight smile curling her fresh, red
lips.
Il am the cook, sir.'
"Ah, yes! 1t must be delightful to
serve so charming a family" leaning
against a low, sweeping Dough, and
a trife warm.
Are you laughing at them, sir?"
mo, indeed. l am in e~arnestr!' he
quickly cried.
Just as 1 thought-ready to firt
with mistress OF maid" said Ange to
herself. She stole a glance at him.
He is very handsome; but beauty
sometimes covers a very deceitful
heart. 1 shall test this, fine gentle
man."
He interrupted her thoughts.
May | have an applet"
eff you like them so green"
Encouraged by her friendliness, the
gentleman drew nearer, and while
they partook of green apples their ac-
quaintance progressed rapidly.
That meeting was only the begin
ming. A week passed, and every day
Allen Estwald managed to see the
cook, for Ange still filled that posi-
ton.
At last they succeeded in securing
the services Of a stout woman, and
with a little W laugh Ange said
Aunt Mary wished her to return home.
81 will come this evening, and be in
troduced at the tea table," she said,
and went away to her favOrite haunt
in the orchard. She felt sorely trou-
bled. 1t was her duty to betray Est
valid, but she shrank from the task
with trembling dread, and finally de-
cided to keep silent. Just as she had
arrived at the generous conclusion he
made his appearance.
80 your situation ha- been taken
from you?" he said, with grave con-
Germ.
Yes" heaving a sigh.
"What will you do"
"Try to find another"
Il a offer you one if you will ac-
cept it," speaking slowly and doubt
fully, and coming quite close to her.
you are kind" she murmured,
averting her face. what shall 1 have
to dog
THE first and most important duty
will be to love me as deeply and as
truly as 1 do you" coming nearer
still, and stretching out his arm I'M
til it half encircled her.
Mr.. Estwald-sir! how dare you?"
she cried out, turning her flushed face
and flashing eyes toward him.
Hush, Ange, until 1 have finished"
"Ange?" You know me, then?"
"Yes," he said and boldly took her
hand.
"Now, how long have you known?"
she faltered, blushing deeply.
Royal told me the first cay. I fell
in love with your lecture before 1
saw you, and Royals account of your
manifold projections determined me
to see and win you, if I could"
He talked eloquently, and must have
won her complete forgiveness, for
when he lifted her down from her
perch, he ke--t her close in his arms a
minute, and stole a kiss from the sweet
lips unrebuked.-New YORK News.
Do Vegetables Breed Typhoid?
One of the theories concerning the
origin of typhoid fever ascribes the in
lection to the agency of vegetables
grown in contaminated soil. Some re-
cent experiments made in Europe to
determine the facts had interesting re-
suits, which are described in Harper's
Weekly. A thorough test was made
with cultures Of bacteria applied in va
rious ways to peas, radishes, cress and
other vegetables. The results showed
that in only n Of the four expert
ments could any typhoid bacilli be
found, and the final conclusion was
