CHAPTER TX.
In Walso.

Away up in the gently undulating
land that rolls northward from the
Cheviots to tho Lammermuir and
Pentland Hills lies the little town of
Walso. Indeed, it lies upon the
downward slope of Cheviot, and the
clean streets, now grassgrown and si-
lent, have many grim tale to tell
Of the warm blood trickling down
their cutters into the glancing river,
il stones could only speak. Walso
is town with past history such as
few can boast Ola history full of
brave deeds and fierce horror, for it
stood in the very midst of border
warfare when the Cheviot burns ran
blood and the great silent hills
echoed the ring of steel.
The women in Walso, as also-I
am led to UNDERSTANDING other parts
of the world, must necessarily be of
superior intellect to their spouses, as
they find time not only to manage
their own affairs, but also those of
every Other woman in and around
their native town. One worthy wo-
man there was, however, who by ex-
perience had learned discretion in it's
closet sense. This was Mrs. Arm
strong, who let her lodgings in the
High street. Her dodgers were most
ly of the same habits and inclina-
tions-in fact, they were all trout
fishermen.
But now it happened that the busy
tongues had really something tan
gible to thresh out between them,
for Mrs, Armstrong had let lodgings
to stranger much more interesting
than an obtrusiye, Indifferent fisher
man. This was no other than a
young lady, "a furrineer," as was
generally supposed. The worst of it
was, that no one in Walso could put
forward, for the general benefit and
information. single fact concerning
her.
This event, following close upon
the arrival at Broomhaugh of Mrs.
Mistley, young Mr.. Vineyard and sew
eral guests, among whom was real
cornell" proved almost too much
lot WalSO.
AS it was more or less generally
understood that Mrs. Mistley was in
some degree capable of managing her
own affairs, the greater share of pub
lie criticism and assistance was kind
ly accorded to the young lady of for
eign procliyities who enjoyed the hos
pitality Of Mrs. Armstrong; roof.
Now, this young lady was no other
than Miss Marie Bakovitch, or, as
sho was pleased to call herself upon
occasions, the Baroness de Nantille
IA title enjoyed by her mother be-
fore that lady married the Odessa
merchant, Peter Bakovitch, her sec
ond matrimonial venture.
With a gentle wonder at the glib
ness of her tongue, the girl had told
Mrs. Armstrong on arriving that she
expected her brother Ivan in few

ScoundreIly Sexton Nearly Victim Of
Indignant Citizens.
In my boyhood an aged doctor told
me many grewsome stories of the
days when as much as $50 was some
times given by lecturers on anatomy
for a single stolen corpse. In his life
of the great surgeon, Sir Ashley
Cooper, Mr.. Bransby Cooper says that
two resurrectiopists, by bribing the
grave digger of a private burial
ground near Holywell Mount secured
six bodies a night until two rival
body snatchers threatened to expose
this sexton unless he admitted them
also to share in the spells.
The sexton denounced them as body
snatchers to some laborers in a
neighboring public house, who rushed
after the resurrectionists to tear them
in pieces. They, however, gained the
refuge of the police office, and there
in turn denounced the SEXTON 2s hav.
ing sold every body which had re-
Gently been inferred in Holywell
Mount graveyard.
The laborers, thus diverted, rushed
to the burial ground, broke open the
gates, dug up the recent graves, and,
finding all the collins empty, they
seized the sexton and proceeded to
bury him alive. He was rescued with
difficulty by the police, but his house
was wrecked and his wife and chill
dren were dragged through the streets
and soused and nearly drown in q
cesspool-T. p. O'Connor in M. A. P

Laurance Lowe.

The old man entered in his usual
slow and deliberate manner The
Colonel advanced to meet him with
outstretched hand and hearty word
of greeting.
''Ah, Laurance, am glad to see
you! There's life in the old dogs
yet, although the young ones are
growing so big around us"
Lowe answered never word. He
took the outstretched hand in his
thin, strong fingers, and bowed as he
pressed it with quaint, old-fash-
toned courtesy.
In the meantime the two brothers
had met.
"Halloo. Charlie!"
well, Win!"
They were close to Lena when they
shook hands, and she heard the char
acteristic greeting. She also saw
the long, slow glance of their eyes as
each noted the work of the last three
years in the development, bodily and
mental. of the others forces.
AS they stood thus together be-
fore her she saw with feminine ra-
pidity of thought that there was not
such a a remarkable resemblance be-
tween the two brothers as she had
at first imagined What likeness
there was lay rather in manner and
carriage than in the features. She
saw now that Charlie was much
bigger man than his brother; also
that he was fairer and with blue
eyes. while Vineyards were gray and

slow, sure characteristics of Saxon
predominated; in the other, the
quicker organization of Celt.

introduction.

Russia's Poor Railroads.

That the Russian railway system
generally is in very deplorable state
has long been an open secret, and the
Imperial authorities have been
brought at last to see that something
really must be done. The commits
sion appointed to report upon the
railways estimates that $3.50, 600 900
will have to be spent during the next
five years in making the Russian rail-
ways filter for the work that they
have to do. The commission is care
full not to suggest the means by which
this huge sum CT money is to be
raised.

the following excerpt is made: There

to-day is discarded tomorrow, and
even connoisseurs disagree bewilder-

In the Same Grave.

A romance of fifty years ago has
been revived by the death of Miss
Elizabeth Thomas Carr, sister of
the late Judge Carr, who has been
resident of Mount Holly for a long
time. She was seventy-eight years
old, and her last request was that she
should be buried in the same grave
with Lafayette Keller, to whom she
was to have been married over fifty
years ago. Keeler was one of the
promising young men of the village
then, and after a courtship of year
won the heart of Miss Carr, then one
of the most beautiful girls in tho
community. The day was set for the
wedding, but a week prior to the
date Keeler was stricken with small
pox and soon afterward died. Miss
Carr ever afterward lived alone, rare
ly going into society and devoting
her time to the welfare of the poor.
The romance of her youth had al
most been forgotten when it was re-
vived by her last request. This re-
quest was respected by her executor,
and she was buried in the same grave
in which she saw her lover entombed
half a century ago. Some difficulty
was experienced in securing a grave
digger, as it was feared the opening
of the grave might cause an outbreak
of smallpox, but the Board of Health
declared there was no danger and
the burial took place.

Laurance loves calm gaze. Mrs.
Wright had been watching them in
anticipation Of that moment, and now
she fastened to introduce them form
ally.
1t was not until after the ladies
had left the room that the conversa-
ton turned upon the subject dearest
to the colonel's heart; and then Mist
ley learned with some surprise that
upon this, as upon every other ques-
ton that had been raised, Laurance
Lowe knew something. This tongue
tied, callous Englishman was one of
the few who from the enervating Sc
curity of peaceful Britain could look
afar with watchful eyes and note the
rising of that tiny cloud in the East,
which at times seems about to rend
the heavens with the fury of it's
lightning and then again will dwindle
away to mere vapor, floating over the
blue ether of time. VINEYARD, being
of colder, less enthusiastic nature
than the colonel, was more correct
in his reading of the public opinion
in England upon matters Indian and
colonial. He was we'll aware that a
fresh and daring encroachment upon
the frontier of the Indian Empire
would rivet the gaze OF every Eng
lishman upon the sullen movements
of the aggressor for the whole space
of week, provided some fresh ex-
element, some thrilling murder in
Paris, or a shipwreck attended with
graphic details did not usurp its place
in the public interest. But beyond
that he was too wise to expect any
thing. He recognized, therefore,
that Laurance Lowe was more learn
ed on this question than the majority
of Englishmen. But In this, as in
everything, VINEYARD found that
strange lack of enthusiasm and even
of interest. He found that loves
observations, keen and far-sighted as
they were, confined themselves to the
more Indifferent criticism of look
er-on whose life or happiness could
in no way be affected by future
events.
Thus it came about that Laurance
Lowe, who was no favorite with
young men, added that evening to
his scanty circle of admirers. The at
traction also was naturally In some
degrees mutual. as such friendships
invariably are. Lowe was prejudiced
greatly in VINEYARDS favor from the
mere fact that he had proved such a
valuable assistant to Colonel Wright
and also as the brother of Charles
Mistley.
Lena also had that evening cast a
little seed upon the broad earth by
the mere singing of plaintive song.
1t had fallen upon spot where other
seeds had taken root, and grew in
strength already; but within that lit
tie germ lay power and life to out
grow them all in strength and height
and splendor. So

A medical journal upholds the
practice of dressing for dinner, on
the ground that the change of gar
ments refreshes the body and starts
1t anew for the digestion fray. A
trade journal pursues the subject
further. and advocates the changing
of clothes as often as possible as
kind of rest cure, not only for the
body. but for the clothes. Taking
it all together, it would seem that
women ought to devote much more
time to their clothes than they do,
and have much larger wardrobes.
The idea of the trade journal seems
to be that between the wearer ard
her clothes there exists a kind of
entente cordiale, that she derives
from them certain virtue that can
be exhausted if one keeps it continu-
ally turned on, as it were. If a
woman feels that she looks very
smart in certain gown she is likely
be more bright in her manner and
ossibly more agreeable. The way
keep the gown in such condition
as to produce this desirable effect is
to give it plenty Of rest. 1t must
not be overworked Or the virtue win
so out OF it.

NEW JERSEY STATE NEWS
Jersey,s New Assessments.

Governor Stokes received the Sec
ond annual report of the State Board
of Equalization of Taxes, which
shows that under the new tax laws
the assessed valuation of property
in the State has been increased from
S1,153, 682,961 in 1905, to $1,570,-
210,073 for 1906. OF this increase,
amounting to $416,527,112, Essex
County leads the State, it's valuations
having been lacked up to the extent
of $149,215,9 91. Hudson comes Sec
ond, with an increase of $57, 959,897.
Passaic and Union counties follow,
with respective increases of $50 ,201,-
0S3 and $50,998,728. From the
viewpoint of the percentage of in
crease Union County leads all the
others, its ratables having been
raised 92.2 per cent. Cape May fol-
lows, with an increase of 77.3 per
cent, Passaic with 65,8 per cent. and
Essex with $50 per cent. No county
shows any decrease, and the aggre-
gate increase of nearly half billion
dollars is 36.1 per cent. more than
the valuations of 1905 The report
comments freely upon the features of
the new tax laws, which it analyses
in their practical operation. Of the
newly created county boards of equal
ization the report says: Their power
to correct glazing faults in the man
ner of assessing taxes is undoubted.
The beginnings of their labors give
promise of success, and seem to JUS
tify the confidence of those RESPONSE

boards will be permanent, weighty

Two Jersey Women Farmers.

The opening of the new short
courses in agriculture at the Agri-
cultural College at New Brunswick
acquired additional interest from the
enrolment of two women students,
Mrs. r. Jones and Miss l.. M. Alden,
of Passaic. Women farmers are not
common in Middlesex County, and
the advent of the Passaic women has
created mild sensation. One of the
interesting features of the courses
will be the frst-hand study of West
ern cattle and horses, specimens of
which have been ordered for the use
of the students.

her face, which he could now see, as
she had turned at the top of the
stairs to wait for him.
''In every sense of the word?" he
asked; for he thought he detected a

voice than the mere words conveyed.
at that moment the drawing-room
door opened, and Mrs. Wright came
forward to receive him.

No, it is not necessary, thank
you" replied Mistley, standing aside
to allow Lena to pass into the room.

carefully raising his trousers SO as
to avoid dragging them at the knees,
sat down.
