Jonas was cooking a bit Of bacon
on the little stove when the door OPEN
ed and a rasping voice spoke famil-
iarly: "Goin' to sell out, l see, Jonas,
eh?'
Jonas looked up in evident displeas-
ure. He was a slender, old man-per-
haps seventy years of age. His hair
a thin and white, and his beard and
moustache grew long and strasgly,
showing the pink skin beneath, for
Jonas was in prime health as a result
of his regular, active farm life. Now
his cheeks were pinker with irritation.
Squire Barlow was not a welcome Wis
itor. Jonas's glance encountered
another old man-as advanced in years
as himself, but not as well preserved.
He was short and stout, with black,
beady eyes deep-set in a yellowish,
Ieathery face. He looked the mean,
hard-fsted man he was known 10 be;
and as Jonas was not pleased with the
interruption he turned again TO the
stove, giving curt assent TO the
Squire's inquiry:
Eye see right, Guess We know the
meanin' of red flags jes' as well as
/ do, SEEM as how gen'raly We happen
to be 'roun' where there's bargains.
Will We shet tn door, Squire? | amt

1t was well for the Squire that his
breath failed, for Jonas was up in an
instant, his eyes flashing, his nostrils
white and dilated with sudden. virlle
anger He leaned with one hand on
the table, and in his grasp was the
long bread-knife. His voice was ON
inously quiet:
STEADY, Squire. l don't allow no
man TO insult me in my own house,
nor anywhere else. l guess we've said
bout enough. Ye might as we'll git

The Squire Gained down Immediate
ly. He picked up his hat, buttoned up
his coat over his still heaying breast,
and laid a heavy hand on the door
knob. Then he turned and for full a
minute the two men looked steadily
each into the others eyes like animals
about to spring. The Squire's lips
were drawn in a sheer, showing his
yellow stubby teeth. Il amt got nc

Grow and Parrot Fight.

Adam Forepaugh, the veteran show
man, had a white parrot which had
learned to say, lone at a time, gentle
men, don't crush,' acquired, of course,
from the ticket seller.
One day the parrot got lost, and
after a long search Mr.. Forepaugh
was overjoyed to hear its familiar
voice from an adjoining cornfield,
He dismounted from his buggy, en-.
tered the cornfield and found the par
rot in the middle of a flock of crows
that had pecked him until he vas al
most featherless. As the crows bit
and nipped, the parrot, lying on his
side and defending himself with his
claws, was repeating over and over,

time. Don't crush"

black eyes cleaned Indignantly.
Jonas continued his preparations for
breakfast. He gave a final stir to the
coffee. set tile pot and the plate OF
meat on the table, and cut a thick
slice of bread. Then, as he sat down
to eat he looked up at the Squire With
cold, hard eyes:
AZ didn't ask We to come in, Squire,
an I'll not ask We to go long as ye

,Jonas's indifference was too much

Fabulous Cost of SofomOn's Temple

Fabulous Cost of SOfomOn's Temple
Solomon's Temple fourished before
the days of modern Graft but it
may be wondered what became of all
the jewels and precious stones, for the
talents of gold, silver and brass used
in the construction of the temple were
valued at about t~hirty-five billions OF
dollars, and the jewels ABOUT the same.
according to Nillapandus. The conse-
Grated vessels of gold amounted TO two
and three-quarter billions; of silver
two and one-half billions; the vest
ments and musical instruments to
eleven and One-quarter millions.
There were ten thousand men en-
ployed to hew timber, seven thou
sand as burden carriers, twenty thou
sand as hewers of stones, thirty-three
hundred o~yerseers. all of whom were
employed for seven years and upon
whom Solomon bestowed as a gift
thirty millions of dollars. Adding the
food and wages the total would be
over four hundred and fifty millions
of dollars. The costly stone and tim
Der equalled twelve billion more and
the whole total has been carefully
estimated as 1852, 1856, 636.

HAUNTED CASTLE OFKIMBOLT TON
The Queen of England Stands God
mother to American Baby.

When Queen Alexandra stood as
godmother To the son and heir OF the
Duke of Manchester and his American
wife, it was the first occasion on which
this royal lady ever assumed respon-
sibility for the spiritual welfare of any
child whose mother is a native of the
United States. King Edward, while
still Prince of Wales, accepted the
sponsorship of quite a number of chill
dren of AnglO-American unions.
BY the bye, the Duke of Manehes-
ter is the present head of Drogo de
Monte Acute, who was a famous
warrior in the immediate train of Rob-
ert, Earl of Moreton, at the time of the
Norman conquest. Among his ances-
trail homes, rescued and restaurated
with the aid of his American father-in-
law, Eugene Zimmerman. of Cincin-

filled, association-haunted Kimbolton

NEW YORK, July 27.-The author. .
ties are investigating the death of Frank
R. Reynolds, the bookmaker OF St.
Louis, who fell or jumped from window
in the fifth floor of Martins restaurant
early today. Death was instantaneous
and the mans neck was broken.
Reynolds came here from st. Louis, to
assist Barney Schneider to make book
at the Brighton Beach track. He had
displayed nervousness during the after
noon yesterday when he complained OF
being i'll and the presence of his wife
did not appear to restore his normal con-
dition.
Mrs. Reynolds arrived yesterday. Si,
said she was living at II East Seventy
first street and would go there to spend
the night. Her husband received and
then retired. He said he did not care
to work until he felt better.
While the restaurant was filed with
patrons, Sam Martin, the proprietor was
seated near one OF the windows leading
to an area in the rear of the building
He heard heavy sound as Of body
striking sound substance. Upon look
ing from the window he saw the body Of
a man on the cement OF the area. With
out attracting attention he made his way
to the place, but the news of the mans
death could not be kept from the pa
irons and soon there was hurried
paying Of checks and men and women
left while an ambulance from Roosevelt
hospital drew up to the door.
Reynolds had called for a physician at
10 o'clock and said he needed a powder
to make him sleep. DR.. Barnes was
summoned and gave the man something
to quiet his nerves. He had appeared in
the restaurant early, telling the night
clerk he was going for walk and that
it would do him good. When Reynolds
returned he appeared haggard and said
