bracing him; go; remember our father |;
remember Sarah" She waited not for
his answer, but gently forced him through
the door and closed it with her own hands.
Immediately after the noise of their de-
parture had ceased. Harper reappeared.
He took the arm of Frances in silence,
and led her from the hut. The way SEEM
ed familiar to him; for ascending to the
ledge above them, he led his companion
across the table land tenderly, pointing
out the little difficulties in their route,
and cautioning her against injury.
Harper finally turned, and, taking the
land of Frances. spoke as follows:
You have this night saved your broth
er, Mss Wharton. 1t would not be pro-
per for me to explain why there are
limits to my ability to serve him; but if
you can detain the horse for two hours, he
is assuredly safe. After what you have
already done. can believe you equal to
any duty. God has denied to me children,
young lady but if it had been his blessed
will that my marriage should not have
been childless, such a treasure as yourself
would have asked from his mercy. But
you are my child; all who dwell in this
broad land are my children, and my care /:
and take the blessing of one who hopes
yet to meet you in happier days."
Wondering who this unknown but pow
erful friend of her brother could be,
Frances glided across the fields, and using
due precautions in approaching the dwell
ing. regained her residence undiscovered
and in safety.

During a conversation which took
place In the summer of 1864, between
President Lincoln and distinguished
Western Senator, the various legislative
nominations for the Presidency then
being made were incidentally referred
to. "Yes," said Mr.. Lincoln. moving
his leg with evident qualification; yes,
Senator, the current seems to be setting
one way" ut does, really, seem to be
setting all one way" was the answer Of
the Senator; "but, Mr.. Lincoln. as you
have told me several good stories since
l have been here, permit me, IL you
please, to tell you one:
TT has always been observed that
the Atlantic ocean. at the Straits Of
Gibraltar, constantly pours into the
Mediterranean with tremendous vol
ume. The Bosphorus empties into it,
at its other end, and rivers are seen
contributing to its waters all along the
coast 1t was for many years the con-
slant puzzle Of geographers why the
Mediterranean under all these Access
sions, never got full and overran Its
banks. After while, however, a curl
GUS fellow took the notion of dropping
plummet In the center of the straits.
when 10! he discovered that, though
the tremendous body Of water on the
surface was rushing inward from the
ocean, a still more powerful body was
passing outward, in counter current,
at some twenty feet below!"
"Oh, ahi" said Old Abe, seriously,
and evidently nonplussed for the first
time in his life; that does not re
mind me of any story ever heard be-

"a STORY OF THE REVOLUTION


All that Dunwoodie had said of his
power and disposition all that he had
himself promised her brother, and all the
confidence that had been created by his
digniied and paternal manner, rushed
across the mind of Frances. who threw
open the door of the hut and falling at
his feet, clasped his knees with her arms,
as she cried:
''Save him-save him-save my broth
err: remember your promise. and save
him ~
Harper had risen as the door opened,
and there was a slight movement of one
hand toward his pistols; but it was cool.
and instantly checked. He raised the
hood of the cardinal, which had fallen
over her features, and exclaimed, with
some uneasiness:
Miss Wharton! But you cannot be
alone?" y
There is none here but my God and
you; and by his sacred name, / conjure
you to remember your promise, and save
my brother!"
Harper gently raised her from her
knees and placed her on the stool, begging
her at the same time to be composed, and
TO acquaint him with the nature of her
errand. This Frances instantly did.

Reform I'm Housekeeping Methods.
With women who keep help the dish
washing after the evening meal pre-
sents no more inconvenience than any
other part of the days work; but with
women who are their own kitchen gen.
fuses, as many must perforce be In
this day of scarce domestic service
washing the evening dishes is the
greatest bugbear of the day.
Then, especially in summer, the
housewife wants to be daintily dressed
and to be free to spend the evening
hours with the man of the house. Moth
ing prevents this, but the great stack
of dishes to be washed up.
Now, why cannot the dishwashing
be as Systematically and sensibly done
as the rest of the housewOrkl Why
dabble over the dish pan three times
day? There really need be but one
dishwashing done each day. If the
dishes are cleaned with the pliable
blade of palette knife, they can be
piled up neatly overnight. The work
Of doing the whole batch at once, in
the morning hours, is not half the trou-
BILE it is to do them at night, when
dressed for the evening.
Every housekeeper should have, too,
a dish rack in which the dishes, after
rinsing, are left to dry. 1t is simply
an ancient fetch that wiping with a
towel is required. In ideal kitchens in
modern palaces the dishes are never
dried The finest china and glass are
| finished by placing in the rack to dry,
and it may be added are kept brighter
by this means.
There is no reason why dishes should
be washed three times n day, nor why
| the dish towel should be adhered to
no reason except that women lack ini-
tiative. The average feminine is a
| creature of habit; she clings to unnec-
essary and foolish ways for no better
reason than because her mother and
grandmother did things so.
II is the hardest thing in the world
| for her TO revolutionize her housekeep-
! ing; yet no profession, occupation or
job on earth stands in greater need of
revolutionizing

Who Is Re.nonsihle.

Wherever in all the world the spe-
cial gifts of women are needed, there
is woman's sphere, says wise woman
writer. The qualities that differenti-
ate woman from man are affection,
quick sympathy, intuitive perceptions,
a gift for sweet ordering, arrangement
and decision; while man is the creator,
defender and discoverer. Each is es-
sential to the other, and each should
enter in some degree into every phase
of the others life. This disposes of the
drawing Of arbitrary lines. If men
will become truly manly and woman
truly womanly, both will gravitate to
their rightful place in any age of the
world.
If man today were the brave and ten
der lover and protector he is intended
to be, he would have no occasion to
complain that woman has grown in
dependent and even entered into COM
petition with him. 1t is. because men
have first been deficient III wisdom that
women have come to seem deficient in
love

as being (1) 6 species of cerebral COM
motion, and (2) the stirring of some

transcendent discovery, In the opinion
Of the Independent, is almost equal TO

Likewise Folding UmbreIlas-Old.
Fashioned Revival I'm New Form.
When men and women now 80 were
small boys and girls parasols were
made with hinged handles, says the
New York Sun. Later came a time
when those parasols went entirely out
of use, supplanted by more modern par.
asols with solid sticks. Now folding
handle parasols have come in again,
and there are now to be found also
these were never heard of in old times
folding handle umbrellas.
The handle of the old-fashioned fold
ing parasol was secured and held In
position when set straight by Means
of sliding band, and unless this band
fitted very nicely and snugly the handle
was likely to wabble more or less. The
modern folding-handle umbrella or par
asol has joints so made that when the
umbrella is set up complete for use the
joints are invisible and the whole ham
die is as rigid as a solid stick.
Instead of being held together when
Strengthened out in place by q sliding
band, the sections of the handle OF a
modern folding umbrella are screwed
together.
The tip of the folding umbrella can
also be folded. A twenty-six-inch fold.
ing umbrella, with handle and tip fold
ed, can be laid diagonally inside a
twenty -four-inch suitcase. Big, mod
ern. long-stick parasols are now made
with handles jointed so that they can
be carried in trunks.
But while I'm this modern revival Of
folding handle parasols and this pres.
ent day production Of folding handle
umbrellas the jointed handles are
largely of this new form Of construc-
ton, there is now made and sold a
smaller folding handled parasol called
a parasolette in which the old-fashiol-
ed sliding band to cover the joint is
retained. This little parasol has also
a joint In its stick near the top, so that
its top when opened can be turned
down against the stick, in which form
IL might IN some circumstances De con-
venientlyuseful as protection against
the sun, one of the uses of the paraso-
lette being found in driving. Closed,
and with its handle folded, the para.
solette is scarcely more bulky or cum.
bersome than a good-siZed folded fan,
and SO 1t can be conveniently carried
There are now made for those who
desire them umbrella cases of sole
