how he might take such a proceed
ing; and there was the awkward pos
sibility that l might, by too precipi-
tate action, offend the gentleman and
get both Doll and myself into a peck
of trouble. What to do did not
] know.
l sat and thought and racked my
brain, and finally took up Dolls last
despairing letter and read it slowly
through. In the midst of my SYM
pathy | could not help feeling some
wonder as to why women confide
their love affairs in people, never
could; but then I've nothing to con-
fide. Poor little Doll! l felt l must
answer her letter and try to console
her, so l wrote her long letter and
told her how sorry / was for all her
grief, and how l quite understood
how sad she must feel!
you have indeed I said in my
letter-"you have indeed thrown
away your happiness in a foolish
manner, and if Mr.. Eversleigh were
not an idiot he would have known
you really loved him and that it was
only your natural modesty that made
you refuse him." and so on and so
on. And then I wrote another note
to Bob and asked him to come
around and dine.
.
1t was two days later when my
door was flung suddenly open and
Doll, unannounced, rushed into the
room.
"Oh, you darling, darling Nell!'
she cried, and, running to me, clasped
me in her arms.
whats the matter?" 1 gasped, as
l glanced at the flushed and radiant
face. Whatever is the matter.
Doll?"
ooh, you'd never guess" said
Dolly; "but the other day you made
the cleverest mistake in all the world
the best mistake you ever made. >"
"a mistaken" I echoed weakly.
"How and when did l make a mis-.
take?"
She laughed delightedly. Oar
ling Nell" she said, whatever do
you think you did? You know when
you answered my last long letter."
Eyes; what of it?''
"Well'-she paused to turn and
press my hand-''you sent the one
you had written to me by mistake
to dear old Bob and his to me, and
he rushed off at once and-and
begged me to marry him; and he
called himself all sorts of mean and
horrid names. And now, darling
Nell, we're engaged to be married
and it's all through you, and I love
you SOL"
And once more she turned and
kissed me gratefully, her pinky face
deeper rose and the big blue eyes
shining with happiness. And that lie
although, of course, it was
very deceitful-I really believe.

years with malnutrition, palpitation

TALBOT'S NEW BANK.

Easton (SpeciaD The handsome
new building of the Talbot Bank, of
Easton, which is nearing completion,
is one of the finest buildings on the
peninsula, and is an ornament to
Easton. 1t is built of Indiana lime
stone. Chartered as a savings bank
on June 3, 1885, it at once became
popular and has grown to large pro-
portions, having now in the savings
department nearly half a million dol
lars on deposit. 1t has paid regular
ly 4 per cent interest on all deposits.
The last legislature granted this bank
a charter to do general banking

PROBLEMS FOR TALBOT COUNTY.

Easton Especial After being IN
session but three days the grand jury
for the May term of the Circuit Court
for Talbot County was discharged.
The jury recommended that, owing
to the frequent jail deliveries and the
easy manner in which assistance from
the outside can be gotten to prison
ers, heavy wire screens be placed Oh
the outside of the windows and sub
stills, or window screens on the inside,
to prevent the prisoners from sitting
in the windows. The jury recon-
mended that electric locks be placed
on the cell doors.
The jury visited the county aims
house and found % inmates. OF
these four are white males, seven
females, four colored males and eight
females. Three are insane, eighteen
feeble-minded and two afflicted with
old age. All seemed to be well cared
for, but the circumstances are such
that they are not safe, as the build
ing is greatly out of repair.
A large delegation OF taxpayers,
headed by George G. Moore, OF Queen
Anne, came before the grand jury
and called attention TO the public
roads leading into Queen Anne Sta
ton, which are crossed by trains of
the Maryland, Delaware and Vir-
ginia Railroad, and stated that trains
on that road run at such a high rate
of speed through a deep cut and are
so obscured from view that already
several serious accidents have been
the result. The jury recommends
that the railroad be compelled to
place fiagmen at the crossings or else
run the trains, when approaching and
crossing the dangerous points, at
slow rate of speed to avoid further
accidents.

POTTER wAsPs AT WORK.

The family Eumenidae, or solitary
wasps, contains some curious work
ers. Some are miners and dig tiny
tunnels in the earta; some are car.
penters and cut channels in wood and
then divide the space into chambers
by partitions of mud.
Some build oval or globelike mud
nests on branches or twigs. This
home may be partitioned into several
tiny rooms into which are put various
small insects captured by the mother

wasps feed.-From Mature and Sci

1t is a phase of woman's life in

and the woman's life was saved.
Another Yukon woman was herself

How Old is Niagara2

This question, always interesting
for the light it throws on the East
history of the earth, has had many
answers. The latest is that of DR.. J,
w. Spencer, who, from recent studies
on the spot, finds that the mean rate
of recession OF the falls at present is
Az feet per year, and that this has
been the rate for approximately 227
years. But owing to the fact that
originally the waters of Lake Erie
only were discharged over the falls,
giving but one-fifteensh of the pres.
ent water supply, the rate of recess.
sion was at first much lower. A sud.
den widening of the gorge above
Fosters Flat indicates the position OF
the falls when the other great lakes
began to discharge into Lake Erie.
From his data, DR.. Spencer calcu.
lates the entire age of the falls at
$4,000 years. The cutting, with the
full power of the four lakes, is esti.
mated to have lasted $500 years.
