she cried TREMENDOUSLY.
"Asaph Winklestone, ma'am. 1 hope

There was deep concern in the flower

Almira uttered a hysterical little
laugh. He was drowned at sea-, she
gasped.
'Thunderation! He was not! The

everlasting life scared out of him."
With a quick movement he drew a
leather case from his pocket and drew
from it a photograph. There's pic

Almira took the picture with CULVER

back with a sigh Of relief. EYES," she

The flower seed man did not answer.
He was uprooting the marble slab and
thrusting it out Of sight among the
underbrush Then he leveled the
mound with quick strokes of his
trowel "Come out into the sunshine,
Miss Stevens" he said, grasping the
box Of plants. and together they went
into the garden and planted the pan
sizes in the central bed.
AS for Asaph Winklestone-he was
left to the tender mercies Of Cousin
Annie and in time Almira learned
what that really meant!

MAKING FIGHT FOR TRAFFIC
500 Line to Construct Three New
Branch Lines.

Branch Lines.
A dispatch from Chicago says that a
direct line between Winnipeg and Chi
cago will be in operation over the
rails of the Canadian Pacific railway
by the fall of 1910. This will be &C
complished by the building of a
branch of the 500 line from Thief
River Falls, Mimi, to Duluth, meet
ing the plans of the Great Northern
railway in it's projected line from
Winnipeg to the international bound
airy.
The 500 will, in addition, soon be-
gin work on two other branch lines.
These are made possible by the pur-
chase of the Wisconsin Central by the
Canadian Pacific. One of these
branches will be a cutoff intended to
shorten the distance between Mime
apolis and Chicago, thereby placing
the company in a position to bid for
both freight and passenger traffic be-
tween Chicago and the Twin Cities.
The other branch line will be con.
structed from Booten. eighty miles
west of st. Paul on the main line of
the 500 line, to Duluth, forming
direct connection between the 500
line and the Head of the Lakes.

The maiden twined her fingers to-

"You decorate his grave" she said at
last, because he was your son"

The American Breakfast.

AS to the British breakfast, what is
that meal-albeit proverbial-compared
with the American? The writer has
kept, as a document to serve in the
curious international accusation of
overeating. the menu of an American
breakfast. 1t is the bill of fare at a.
great Californian hotel and it contains
well, everything there is. But the
home American does likewise; an or
ange begins the meal. porridge urged
it on to beefsteak. chop, large pota-
toes in their skins, fish, stewed fruit
and bread hot from the oven and heav-

name of breakfast a new Meaning

That's easily found out" said the
nan, and before Almira could utter
word of protest he was striding rap

marble stone was hidden behind the
cedars.
Almira painted hastily after him.

"There isn't any grave. It's only a

Almira nodded assent. Il was going
to put the forgetmenots on the mound"
she said at last.

then. They'd have grown all right.
I'll bring you some plants tomorrow to
put in here"
'I'm much obliged, Mr. Almira
stammered as she realized into what
intimate conversation she had wan
dered with the stranger.
"Babcock, a'am-George Babcock.
I'll be here in the morning. 1 won't
disappoint you"
There was a smile of pleasant retro
spection in Almira's lips as she watch
ed the flower seed man drive away
through the May sunshine.
The next morning she was up at
break of day busily denuding her gar.
den of its blooms. When the sun sent
it's first rays across the green fields she
had been to the cemetery on the hill
and laid her offerings Of pink and
white and lilac blooms on the graves
of her kinsfolk.
She found herself wishing that moth
ing would prevent the flower seed
mans coming. He was very interest
ing! Here Almira blushed and hur-
ried into the house, where she blushed
again as she slipped on blue muslin
dress and pinned the collar with lit
tie gold brooch. It was many years
since Almira had worn blue muslin
so many years that she was ashamed
to meet her own eyes in the mirror
and went downstairs and into the gar
den hoping the flower seed man would
not be late.
Presently he came and at the quick
glance of respectful admiration Almira
felt that the blue muslin was quite
justified. 1--WE brought the plants" he

den.
"I've allowed all the other flowers
for the cemetery lot, and now l guess
there won't be anything to put on
tAsaph's grave, after ALL" she thought
despondently as she walked down the
path to a tangled mass of shrubbery
shat hid one corner of the garden.
Here, screened from curious eyes by
a. network of young cedars intwined
with woodbine and ivy, was a long,

securely from prying neighbor eyes,

garnet and dragged it pantingly to the
spot, where she set it in a deep hole

followed in the soft earth. With paint
brush she had printed the carefully
composed verse and the inscription.
Tears of disappointment gathered in
Almira's eyes as she walked slowly
back to the house, and consequently
she did not see that there was buggy
standing before her gate and that a
man was coming briskly toward her.
'"Good day, ma'am. I'm the flower
seed man. Can / sell you any seeds
or plants for your garden today? He
raised his straw hat and looked at AL
mira's surprised and fearful eyes with
respectful sympathy.

ly and winked back the telltale tears
from her blue eyes. When Almira
Stevens blushed she looked very young
and pretty.
The good looking flower seed man
took in this fact. He whipped a
leather covered catalogue from his
pocket and said: II guess it's easier
to tell what l haven't got than what
I have! I'll take your order today for
seeds or plants or bulbs, and they'll
be delivered to you within a week.

Almira gloomily.

fully.

coincidental in more ways than one for
the respective vessels which they ar

officer, Captain Patty. And to carry the
coincidence further, Captain Patty aft
erwards married sister of one of his
lady passengers who was induced to be-
come Mrs. Hustace after the voyage
ended
This was in the time when vessels
came around the Horn and crept up
the South and North American coasts
to San Francisco Although the yes
sci on which Mr.. Hustace travelled was
bound for Honolulu there were a num-
Der of passengers ON board, including
himself. who desired to go to Lahaina,
and the captain, in consequence, turned
the bow Lahainaw wards.
Mr.. Hustace spent several years in
Lahaina and then moved to Honolulu
and engaged in business, retiring sew
eral years ago. He is still hale and
hearty and able to celebrate the ami
versary as such an auspicious occasion
deserves.
Mr.. Weldon arrived on the bark

bridge. On this trip the Whistler was

After leaving the convention he made
his way through drenehing rain to
one of Bowery missions on the East
