over. Hans had gone with the buggy to neighboring town, and had taken the boys with him. The new man, Herman, had been sent with load of grain to 'The Pocket" a station near by, and in an opposite direction to the town Hans was visiting. Betty, left alone, had plenty of time to think. As she sat busily sewing, her eyes would turn at times toward Johns house, and she caught herself wishing that John would come and go again as he used to. He had not been near since that eventful day, and she miss. ed him more than she liked to ac- knowledge. Besides, she really want ed to ask his advice about hiring Her man.
 With so much to think of, time pass ed rapidly, and Betty was startled when the clock struck and she looked up to see how low the sun was. Her boys would be hungry when they got home, and she hurried to prepare sup per. By the time all was ready it was quite dark, and she began to won- der what was keeping them all so late. When the roll of the returning wagon finally met her ear, she light ed the lantern and went with it to the door AS the cheerful gleam met Herman's eyes, he broke into rol- licking song and finished with whoop that made Betty start. She knew at once that the man must have been drinking, and thrill of fear ran over her. What was she to do? Nothing, that she could see but wait for Hans.
 As the well-spread supper table in the doorway.
 Good for you, missus," were his first words. ''T tell you what, you're the woman to suit my mind. After a cold ride, hot supper, and then little something to drink! Here's the stuff to top off with, right here in my pocket" half withdrawing flask of spirits as he spoke. Give us kiss, old girl, and then we'll have supper!"
 Betty had not expected such a turn to his thoughts, and she stood fright ened and trembling in the farther cor ner of the room. But when he ap- l preached her the situation grew des. l perate, and she looked about instinct i lively for some weapon of defense. Not so much as stove poker or a broom stick within reach, but a dish of strong vinegar stood on the shelf near by. Quick as flash Betty saw her chance of escape. The vinegar met

much, but guided her carefully where the lantern beams showed the way.
 Betty kept stealing glances up at her companion. The sudden hoot of an owl made her shrink closer to him, but his face did not change. How nice it must seem," thought she, "to be great, strong man, afraid of noth- ing! And how comforting to have right to the protection of such man at all times"
 Some rather serious thoughts began moving through Betty's mind.
 "John," she faltered at last
 Yes, Betty"
 A pause to gather courage, and then:

TRAMPs WHO DO GOOD.
Apple Tree Johnny Has Successor In
 Nut Planting Hobo.

The story is told of Pennsylvania tramp who in his wanderings up and down on the earth carries his pockets full of nuts, which he plants as he goes. For three years he has followed this practice, says the Virginia Pilot, and during that time is said to have planted thousands and thousands of nuts, always seeking the out-of-the-way spots-rocky hillsides and abandoned lands at the edges of creeks and streams--so that the chances of the trees being destroyed before they grow up and mature will be minimiz- ed This old tramp is doing something more than guaranteeing the future youth of Pennsylvania against the loss of the joy of nutting He is set ting an example in tree planting which the farmers throughout the land may well follow with profit to themselves and to the country. This planting tramp recalls another member of the wandering tribes. He was known throughout the country as Apple Tree Johnny from his habit of planting ap- pie seeds in fence corners and other hooks. Many wayside fruit tree is said to owe it's existence to Apple Tree Johnny.

 John had just closed his granary door for the night, and lantern in hand turned toward the house. sud den rush of light footsteps, a laugh and a sob from the darkness, and Betty threw herself into Johns arms with such abandon that his lantern flew from his grasp, and he staggered under the unexpected shock

 No answer from Betty, but hysteri. cal sobs as she clung to John. It was some time before he could make out what was the matter, but he final. ly managed to get the gist of the af. fair.

 "A man needn't be drunk in order to want that" said John, with a wicked smile down at Betty's agitated face.
 Brought to her senses by this coun- tercharge, Betty disengaged herself at once. It was rather hard-hearted in John to add to her troubles in any such way, when she had thrown her. self so on his mercy. He seemed to think so himself. for he did not pur. sue the subject.
 As he went toward the house to re. light the lantern, Betty kept close to his elbow and glanced nervously about her. as if afraid that Herman might appear. Tn silence they began the walk to Betty's home. John seemed afraid to speak for fear of saying too

Ham Was Hard to Find.

Mrs. M. G. Quackenbos, whom At- torney General Bonaparte has made one of his special assistants in the campaign against the trusts, is New York lawyer. She tells this story of a railway ham sandwich: "A man paus- ed bitterly in the consumption of a very hard, dry railway ham sandwich and said to the maid behind the counter: don't see no ham in this. You ain't come to it yet said the maid with smile. A minute or two passed. The mans jaws worked gloom fly. Then they stopped again, and he said: I don't see no ham yet, young woman.' Oh she replied, you've gone and bit over it now"

DUE TO VARIOUS CAUSES.
Weakness in Prices on the New York
Stock EXCHANGE.

New York, Nov. 1 Several con.
siderations contributed to weakness
of the stock market here, none Of
these affecting the feeling that gen
eral financial conditions were improv-
ing. Some Of the depression was
traceable to the sentimental effect of
the suicide of the ex-president of the
Knickerbocker Trust company. The
discussion Of new financing for the
New York Central made that stock
conspicuously weak and the Hartman
Pacifics suffered from the large de-
clines in net earnings reported for
September. 1t was a general suppo-
sition also that some large accounts
were being closed out that had been
taken over during the financial crisis
to accommodate houses that had felt
the pinch. The declines in the prices
Of New York Central, the Hartman
Pacifics and American Smelling ran
over points and there were declines
Of between / and points quite gener-
ally. The market was not very active

business were wrecked during the progress

given the fullest possible protection of the
law. A telegram was received at the con-

by $50 Greeks. appealing for protection
against mob Of rioters. The Greeks tele-
graphed that the Roanoke police were I'M
able to cope with the situation and afford

disorders developed from any racial dit

cause which probably was seized upon as
pretext to make fight, which deyeloped
into riot. There never has been trouble
