CHAPTER VI.

In the meantime Lieut.. Grace had re-
ceived at the hands of his father and
sister a warm welcome.
Without announcement of any descrip-
ton he made his way from the Admiralty
to Brook street and knocked at his faith
er's door. He found the old gentleman
and Miss Helen Grace engaged in the
consumption of afternoon tea.
"Oswin :" exclaimed the old admiral.
81 thought you were on the African
coast"
Helen Grace was a young lady not
much given to explanatory expressions OF
feeling. She rose from the low chair
she habitually occupied and kissed her
brother Then she turned his face to-
ward the light by the collar of his coat.
Have you been invalided homer" she
asked.
NO"
But the Foam is out there STILL" put
In the Admiral, eager to show his inti-
mate knowledge of official matters.
"Yes. l came home on a derelict. A
fine, big ship without a crew. All dead
of yellow fever except one. l am glad
that he was picked out by Providence to
survive"
"Why?" inquired Helen.
Because | like him."
What was he, an officer?" asked the
Admiral.

tone. "Do they know how to behave
themselves"
Il think so-both of them," was the
reply. although we did not dress for
dinner on board the Martial.
"It seems to me-" observed the Ad
miral, with an easy chuckle, that you
did not devote much time at all to the
question of toilet"
NO" replied Grace, frankly. 1--WE
were a shady crew. You see, there were
only ten of us to navigate a thousand
ton ship full rigged. We had no time
for personal adornment. You will see
all about it in the evening paper.

have some tea, Helenl 1t is months sincs
l have seen such an article as bread and
butter"
The girl FASTENED to supply his wants
performing her duties with deft sure
ness of touch where maidens are mo-
dolls. While Grace was performing won
ders among the dainties supplied to him
his father read aloud the details of hi
deeds upon the high seas, and Heller
listened with a faint smile Of pride upor
her refined face.

er, have much more to do with conven

"Indeed?" he inquired with fine sar'
casm.
Yes; l have studied the question You
may know more about the slave trade
than l do, because you have had superior
advantages in that direction; but | also
have had advantages, and from personal
observation beg to state that in nine cases
out of ten convenience Is the source OF
love-in the tenth case it Is propinquty.
Thank you," he said, fervently Il
will make a mental note of your observa-
tions, and when l marry a plain and
stupid heiress perhaps you will withdraw
them"
She ignored his pleasantly.
II often wonder" he said, thoughtfully,
why somebody or other does not fall in
love with Agnes Winter"
After pause he put forward sus-
gestion.
Because she will not let them, per-
haps."
THAT may be SO but surely a sensible
man does not wait to be allowed"
THE question:" he answered with
mock gravity, "is rather beyond me. II
Is hard to say what a sensible man would
do, because in such matters no rule can
be laid down defining where sense begins
and foolishness ends. The man who go.
Agnes Winter would be sensible, however
he did it."
Presently the girl went to dress fol-
dinner, leaving her brother standing al
the window, whisting softly beneath his
breath.

Good Word for Guin eas.

The Guinea fowl may yet become a
very profitable branch Of farm poultry
raising. The scarcity of certain kinds
of game which resemble in flavor the
Guinea, especially the Western prairie
chicken and grouse, has led to sub
stitution Of young Guineas on hotel and
restaurant bills Of fare Guineas OF
about the broiler age, weighing about
one pound and half are Of an ex-
ceedingly fine, gamy flavor, and seem to
satisfy the consumer. In this way the
restaurants are able to dodge the game
laws In certain States and serve "prai-
rie chicken" on the bill Of fare at all
seasons. Gamehouses are paying high
prices for young Guineas, and 1t would
seem that large farms might be devot-
ed to them profitably wherever turkeys
and pheasants succeed.
Colony House for Pigs.
Small houses built after the follow
ing description may be readily moved

The house is very inexpensively con-

goods boxes the ends of the boxes are
removed, the tops cut off on a slant
and the edges of the ends are fastened
together with small cleats of wood or
straps of iron; these latter are better

LOOKING BACKWARD.

some minds reach a certain point
IN their development and stop. They
become absolutely immovable So IL
has been with many Of the northern
politicians who came to manhood from
1850 to 1855. Some Of those minds
stnl control the Republican politics.
and they propose some kind Of an at.
tack on the South as a remedy for ey-
cry trouble Of their party.
This was shown in the recent plat
form Of the League Of Republican
Clubs Finding that their party is in
danger Of being defeated In the com.
ing congressional elections. they make

II is The old ef.Its Of the minds
that stopped growing In 1890. which
think that all the North can be united

the South. They do not recognize any
thing that has happened since 1865.
when sectional bitterness begun to
abate.
Those people want to 20 back TO
those shameful days and renew the
fires Of hatred and try TO save their
