The startled eyes veiled themselves
swiftly, and Virginia's voice sank to
its softest cadence.
"Have | been an accomplice in this
this despicable thing, Uncle Somer-
ville?"
Mr.. Darrah began a little to see his
mistake.
"Ah-an accomplice? Oh, no, my
deah Virginia, not quite that. The
word smacks too much of the police

tractive than that of his laborehs, and

So much he said by way OF damp
ing down the fire lie had so rashly
lighted. Then Jastrow came in with
one of the interminable cipher tele-
grams and Virginia was left alone.
For time she sat at the deserted

womanly in it's failure to give even

And just before luncheon an obliging
Cousin Billy was prevailed upon to
undertake its delivery.
When he had found Winton at the
shale-slide, and had given him Miss
Carteret's mandate, the Reverend Bill
ly did not return directly to the Rose
mary. On the contrary, he extended
his tramp westward, stumbling on
aimlessly up the canyon over the un-
surfaced embankment Of the new line.
Truth to tell. Virginia's messenger
was not unwilling to spend a little
time alone with the immensities. To
put IL badly. he was beginning to be
desperately cloyed with the sweets OF
day-long Miss Bessie, ennuye on the
one hand and despondent on the other.
Why could not the Cousin Bessies

words, that the heart of a man may

So questioning the immensities, the

little time In a small upland valley
where the two lines, old and new, ran
parallel at the same level, with low
embankments less than hundred
yards apart.

Aneedote Of Robert r. Hit.

The late Robert X. Hit had a knowl-
edge of stenography which was OF
great value to him in debate. He has
been known to rise with his hand full
of shorthand notes OF a speech just
delivered to which he was about to
reply and woe to the man who ac-
cused Mr.. Hit of misquoting him. He
was the patron saint OF the stenog-
raphers of the house. Not long ago
political influence was about to dis
place from the line OF promotion a
young expert writer of shorthand from
Michigan whose work Mr.. Hit had
occasion to admire. Mr. Hit went to
Speaker Cannon. This will never do,

mary. Instead of keeping on down
the canyon on the G. & G.. r. side, he
turned up the gulch at the back Of
Argentine and spent the better half
of the afternoon tramping beneath the
solemn frs on the mountain. What
the hours of solitude brought him in
the way of decision let him declare
as he sets his face finally towards the
station and the private car.

The short winter day was darkening
to its close when he returned to the
Rosemary. BY dint of judicious ma
neuvering, with a love-weary Bessie
for an unconscious confederate, he
managed to keep Virginia from ques-
tioning him, this up to a certain mo-

With the opening of the hunting
season the usual crop of stories about
dogs and shooting has begun to spring
up. This one about the jealousy of an
English setter was told the other day
to the Observer.

the man who told the story, "one
about nine years old, the other less
than a year. Both were settlers, the
young one being pup of the old dog.
The first day the law was off / took
both the dogs for a try at the birds.
The pup, though / had worked him in
the field but little, showed that he was
going to be a hunter, and from the
very first covered his ground and
made his points without flushing the
birds but once or twice in the whole
forenoon. He made such a fine show

Id go home And go home he did,

Walnut a Staple Food.

In some parts of France walnuts
form a regular article OF diet. The
peasants eat them with bread that
has oftentimes been rubbed with gar
lie. The hygienic effects are consid-
cred good, replacing meat to a large
extent. These nuts are also used
to make oil. 1t is much cheaper and
similar in taste to that pressed from
olives, and is employed to adulterate

prisons are engaged in cracking wal
nuts and picking out the kernels,
which are pressed into oil.
