A London gentleman, having taken
a small farm in the country as being
the correct thing to do, as well as I,
get a little fresh air, had invited some
Of his friends down to see his new
possession.
Having viewed the domain and not
ing the absence of creature life about
the place, one of his friends remarked:
with a nice, open place like this.
wonder you don't have some animals
about, as is usual on a farm. Some
cows, for instance, so as to have your
own butter and cream"
"No-O." drawled his host, don't care
about butter or cream"
Some chickens or ducks, then. You
surely like fresh eggs?"
moo, don't care for eggs. But I've
sometimes thought I'd like a sheep. I
rather like kidneys for breakfast

TOOthblacks.

"As we have bootblacks 80 they've
got toothblacks in the Sunda islands,"
said travelling man.
"What Is a toothblack"
Don't you know? A toothblack Is
an old woman with a pot of black
paint, gold leaf book and a set Of
vegetable brushes. From hut to hut she
passes, and for a small fee-a yam, a
bunch of bananas, three cocoanuts-she
paints the Sunda islanders teeth a glis-
tening black-all but the two front
teeth. These she gilds. And the Sum
da islander thereafter goes about with
a self-conscious smile revealing a truly
knock-me-down dental display, black
and gold symphony. 1t Is a common
trick among the semicivilized to color
the teeth. In Macassar dark grown Is
the popular hue, and in Japan among
the unenlightened classes the teeth Of
wives are always painted black. In
such countries the toothblack is an in
stitution. She goes from house to
house as full of gossip as a barber

CHAPTER II.-(Continued.)

CHAPTER -(Continued.)
At Eve o'clock on the afternoon OF the
day after Mr.. Conrads death, Mr.. Drum
mond entered the house, which was on
the opposite side of the street from the
store. This was the supper hour, and
supper was ready upon the table.
A single glance was sufficient to show
that Mr.. ,Drummond was not a man to
indulge in luxurious living. There was
plate of white bread, cut In thin slices,
a small plate Of butter, half pie. and
a plate of cake. A small pitcher of milk,
a bowl Of coarse brown sugar, and pot
of the cheapest kind of tea completed the
preparations for the evening meal. Ger
tainly there was nothing extravagant
about these preparations; but Mr.. Drum
mond thought otherwise. His attention
was at once drawn to the cake, and In
stantly frown gathered upon his face.
"Are you going to have company to-
nIght, Mrs Drummond?" he asked.
mot that I know Of" answered his
wife, in some surprise.
''Then why is it that you have put both
pie and cake on the table?'
1.-THE cake is a cheap kind"
mo cake Is cheap, Mrs. Drummond. I
take it you used eggs, butter and sugar
in making it. You are probably not
aware that all these articles are very dear
&C present. Until they get lower we need
not have cake, except when company Is
present. Take away the cake, if you
please. You can save it for Sunday even
Ing"
II am afraid 1t will be dried up by that
Time"
IF 1t is dry, you can steam it. have
continually to check you in your extrava'
CANT tastes. Cake and pie, indeedi II
you had your way, you would double my
household expenses."
Mrs. Drummond rose from the table
and meekly removed the offending cake
Just then the third and only other mem
Der Of the family entered.
This was Joshua Drummond, the only
son, now eighteen years Of age, though ht
looked scarcely more than sixteen. He In
herited his fathers meanness, but not bill
frugality. He was more self-indulgent
and, though he grudged spending money
for others, was perfectly ready to spent
as much as he could get hold Of for him

II have not had time to think of future

you for your invitation

mond, us longing to make your acquaint-
ance. He is older than you, but not much

make a very pleasant companion for you.
Let me hope that you will accept my in

Mr.. Drummond asked a few more ques-

death. Walter answered them, but did
not -hink 1t necessary to speak of his
losses by the mining company. Mr.. Drum.

motion for the withdrawal OF Ruef's plea
