him out from mere curiosity; but
when she discovered the nature of
the man it was reasonable, l might
say inevitable, that she should fall
under his influence. In brief, after the
second week they were deeply in love
with each other.
"Old Lathrop, who could not have
conceived of such situation, encour-
aged his daughters friendship with
the young fellow. He liked Kemble
and thought of offering him post in
his own stables. But one night he, re-
ceived an urgent summons home on
business matters of moment. Miss
Muriel, who was her fathers house
keeper and secretary combined, CT
course accompanied him. She told
Kemble that that would be their last
evening together. And Kemble, feel
ing that life would be impossible
without her, told her of his love for
her. Would she wait until he had
achieved success? 1t might be two
or three years, he said, with the OPP
timism of youth. But he had saved
two hundred dollars and was going
to take position as riding master in
New York that fall. And under his
spell Muriel Lathrop pledged her
heart to him. +
''Three days later Kemble received
a message from Muriel Her father
wanted to see him at his Fifth avenue
house. Could he come upfhe follow
ing Saturday.
''Kemble was not dismayed by the
magnifcence of the house, or by the
cold stare of the butler. He walked
boldly into. the reception room and

CONSIDER THE DEW.

The question is often asked.
Does the dew rise or fall? Dew
fall is as admissible an expires
sion as sunrise or senset. In both
cases the expression is at vari-
ance with scientific fact. Meteoro-
logically, the formation of dew
is not accompanied by motion in
the vertical plane. hence there
can be no question of rise or fall.
Under certain conditions of wind,
cloud and temperature variants
dew s produced. Warm air
charged with moisture comes in
contact with cooler surface.
When in this contact the heat is
subtracted from the air and the
saturation point for that tempera-
ture s reached, the moisture,
which is the air has existed as
water vapor, is condensed upon
the cooler surface at the point Of
contact. The dewdrop, also good
English, although false physics,
has no existence in the air, but
comes into being upon the surface
believed. It does not fall nor
does it drop. Harper's.

Atty. Gen. Moose Renders Opinion.

Little Rock, July 1-Attorney General w. L. Moose rendered an opinion Monday afternoon in which he holds that a contractor who works county convicts, is entitled to work the convict until fine and costs have been paid, or to the cash paid for the fine, if it is paid after he has taken the prisoner.
 The opinion is rendered at the instance of officials of Jackson county, where John H. Keel has contracted for the convicts of the county. He pays the costs in the case, and this entities him to work the convicts at 75 cents per day, until the fine and costs are worked out. In some cases af. ter he has paid the costs, friends nave paid the fines of prisoners and demanded their release. lhe contractor claimed the coun. " waived the fine to him when ne paid the costs, aud the prison CT must work out or pay, and the contention is upheld.
