Upon opening the front door, Hislop
beheld on the steps the last man he
would have wished to see, vet he did
not betray it, for his nerves were
steadier now.
''Ah, good evening. Mr.. Hislop," said
Boyd affably. "Glad TO find you at
home. Can you spare me five short
minutes in your library"

distrustful stare.

While speaking Boyd closed the IL

secured itself with a catch lock, requir-

habitually kept his library closed from

COSTLY LESSONS IN ECONOMY.
Il 10 Not Always . Matter Of Saving to
-, Buy Cheap Goods.

Almost every rural community has
within its confines people who have
paid well for experience and have
learned costly lessons us to buying
OF goods.
Not long ago In a western town n
citizen desired to buy n kitchen range.
A visit to the local hardware store
was made and the prices asked by
the dealer were not satisfactory to
the prospective purchaser. who by
the way had his attention attracted
by the advertising in his farm paper
of "a bargain" In kitchen range.
The range was advertised as equal to
those costing twice the money ut the
local store" The citizen sent a
money order to the concern advertis.
ing the range. and in. the course OF n
few weeks he was notified by the rail.
road agent that the range had ar
rived. In removing 1t from the sta
tiop to the farm house, In some inex.
plainable way part of 1t was broken.
The broken pieces were taken to the
local hardware store but could not be
duplicated. A letter was written to
the range company and in the course
of few weeks a duplicate of the
broken part was received. but It was
discovered that 1t would not fit the
stove. It had to be returned and n
few weeks later another piece was
sent: then the stove was placed in
use. Within six months the top had
become so warped that It interfered
seriously with the drafts. At the end
OF the year the stove was burned out
and ready for the junk heap. The
purchaser OF the stove then deter
mined that he would secure another
range from the home dealer. He paid
the home dealer the price he was
asked which was about one-third more
than the poor range cost. and after a
few years the range was found to be
as good almost as when first bought.
This is one illustration of how econ
omy wrongfully practiced is ex.
pensive. 1t is not always wise to
seek the bargain counters when good
articles are wanted. Neither is 1t q
wise idea to buy goods before you
have an opportunity to carefully ex.
mime them and determine their
,alue.

Terror's Effect on Hair,

1t has been repeatedly affirmed that
Queen Marie Antoinette's auburn hair
turned white in the days of the reign
of terror, and an English surgeon
named Parry states that Just after the

black hair Of rebel Sepoy, who was
under examination and feared dread
full death, turn white in the course Of
an hour. In the time of the commune

For the Family.

Fruits and vegetables of all kinds
should be raised on the farm for the
happiness of the family. This should
be an unnecessary suggestion for the
American farmer, but it is still the
truth that on many Of our farms little
fruit of any kind is to be found. The
whole attention of the farmer is given
up to crops that he looks upon as
money bringing crops. But the crops
of small fruits where raised are Just
as much money-bringing crops. They
also help to keep the doctor from the
door and save money in that way.
The children especially should have
all the fruit they a eat, especially at
meal time, when the fruit goes to
tighten up the general mass of food
and assist in the digestion of all.

Fine Clothes and Brave Hearts almost
Effective Combination.

One is sorryYfor the handles of our
day, because, though their clothes fit
ever SO well, and are ever so fresh,

hue, and no lace, no velvet (above all,
not on coat %oollars); no slashes, puffa
n vandykings;.n no pearls and gold;
no .gules and azure. The common
trousers are shapeless things, and, for
perfection, you need two pairs every
day. Genius is .stunted, display is
checked, and, though you may wear
brilliant hose with knickerbockers in
the country, glorious waistcoats are
rarely seen except in the windows Of
tailors' shops at Oxford and Cam,

self-respect, like stendhal, the cele,

been the only man that shaved every
day in the dreadful winter retreat
from Moscow. This is the dandyism
which we admire, the perfection Of
