hook each end of the chain into an

CHAPTER TX.
The Finger of Fate.

Rose is woman OF within 1t may
be fairly said that to love her is a
liberal education in folly.
Roger Temple finds his acquire
ments in this valuable branch of
knowledge ever steadily increasing.
Women you may find in plenty who
believe one man, two men, twenty
men, to be their victims. Rose is
ready, on the weakest evidence, or on
no evidence at all, to believe it of the
universe. Borne on the strong pinion
of vanity, she can even rise to being
imaginative, as the sequel of this
history will show.
You will never guess what has
happened, Roger, never! And am
not at all sure that / am wise to tell
you, you naughty, naughty, jealous
man-only when he comes it may be
worse!"
1t is noon next day; and in Rosie's

some uneasy conscience twinges of his
own you have made another con-
quest, Rose?"
The droop of Mrs. O'Shea's eyelids
says yes.

"oh, Roger, don't be violent! How

And I, who never give one any en-
| couragement! No, it is neither the
Spaniard nor the Portuguese-I mean
it is some one else as well. oh, do
feel so guilty, I'm sure these things
never happen to anybody but me.

The School Garden Association,
one of the best influences in city
where such are countless, boasts the
New York World, asks Commissioner
Slower to set aside more space il the
city's pleasure-grounds for these tiny
plantations. Being an advocate of
"the parks for the people, Mr.. Slower
would gladly oblige, but he is no raa-
gician and the parks Will not stretch.
Two things of the two hundred that
may be said for admitting school gar
dens to the parks as far as possible
are these: They are full of attraction
and interest for older park frequent
ers. And children who have learned
in them the beauty and the mystery
of plant life will not grow up into
young hoodlums who destroy park
property.

Stole Same Cow Twice.

They have another queer case at
the Frankfort penitentiary. Sam
Kirk, soon to be released, is serving
his second term. Kirk stole the same
COW twice, and there is tradition
here that he will make another try
for the COW if that animal is still liv-
ing when he gets his freedom. Kirk
took the COW and was caught and
convicted. He was sent to the peni-
Tertiary for one year. He announced
that as soon as he got out he would
go back home and get that COW. IT
is thought that he felt that he had
earned the cow by reason Of having
served one year in the penitentiary
for the stealing of the animal. True
to his promise. as soon as he was re-
leased he went back home and again
stole the COW. He was convicted and
sent up for double the first term. 1t
is recorded that he never did anything
wrong except steal that cow.--Lsuis-
vile Courier-Journal.

sacrilege she had committed coming
back upon her. captain Temple, do
you think now the blessed old saints,
when they are once safe in Heaven,
ever trouble themselves about the
| jewels they have left behind them on
earth?"
Roger is silent. Belinda's worldli-
ness has repulsed him to such de-
gree that he can no longer smile at
her rafting talk; and still she fasci-
mates him more and more.
Men of his semi-poetic stamp fall
in love often with conventional dolls,
as he has done; marry conventional
dolls, as he will do; and, pathetically
conscious that the nearest relations of
their lives have been incomplete, go
to their grave without tasting the
nectar of true passion once, for sheer
lack of opportunity. But let oppor-
tunity come! Let woman, fresh and
faulty from natures hand, cross
their path
Well, our little story of elective
afinities has not progressed as far
as that yet. Roger is engaged to
Rose, Belinda to Mr.. Jones; and
Belinda and Roger are nothing to
each other, for one more quarter of
an hour at all events.
The talked on and on, and pres
emily Augustus is forgotten, and pres
emily Rose. Belinda is Lagrimas
again, and Roger the wandering Eng
ly victim to Lagrimas' charms. By
and by the air, all at once, grows
fresh; a flicker of pink light begins
to show above tho glorious chain of
mountain peak toward the east, and
with a start Belinda realizes that it
is morning-that Miss Burke will be
back before noon, that Roger is the
lover of Rose, and that she has de-
cided to spend her life at Chaplain
with Mr.. Augustus Jones!
Captain Temple, do you know that
the sun is going to rise, that we have
been out here since midnight, you
and 1? I hope you never mean to

Rose knew! Shall you tell herr"
Shall you tell Mr.. Jones, Be-
linda?"
And then their eyes meet, with a
sudden look of intimacy; they have
been acquainted now near dozen
hours, and the girl questions him no
more.
They bid good-by and part; the
tacit promise exchanged, though no
word of promise be spoken, of see
ing each other at the same place and
time tomorrow night. And then,
left alone to conscience, and tobacco,
Roger Temple, it may be hoped, feels
some misgivings as to the wisdom of
his first attempt at reformation, some
doubts as to the safety of this close
neighborhood of balconies.

said" the Governor remarked to men
from the Adirondack counties who
had called at the executive office,
simply so that if there is lingering
anywhere in the minds of some that
in this way or that they can get hold
of forest property and establish stor-
age reservoirs for their own purposes
they had better get rid of it if they
want the water powers developed.
They will never get ahead in that
way. 1t doesn't make any difference
what you or may say about it: the
people won't stand for it."

LAMP EXPLOSIONS

Many of these may be prevented by
trimming the wick daily. When
burned for several evenings without
trimming, the wick becomes clogged
and black and incapable of supplying
the oil clearly and uniformly. and the
chimneys are sometimes filled with
flame and smoke, to the embarrass-
ment and alarm of those present.
Some explosions would be prevented
by never blowing out the lamp down
the chimney, for if the wick happens
to be too small, the flame may be
driven down into the oil. The best
way is to turn it down with the button
until extinguished. Mrs B. McDer-
mott, in the Boston Post.

Professor Fisher, notes the New Ha-

forgetful, in saying this, of the phil
anthropist of Middletown, Conn, who
did extract much gold on the theory
that there is gold in sea water. He
did not, however, extract said gold
from the waves Of the sea, but from
the pockets of confiding persons who
believed in his scheme. Some of the
sufferers may be comforted by the
professors authoritative assurance
that there is gold In sea water.
