Burlington, N. C.
Doris forks stood In her bedroom
thinking over things. That her tbooghts
Were not pleasant ooold be judged By
the trosbled look on her pretty faoe.
. She was not wbafc one ooold call a
beautiful woman, but there was some
thing lrrcaiatibiy fsaolnatlng about her.
Brer cos admired her. The big gray
oyes, with- their long, dark lashes, would
sometimes seem black when they were
filled with merriment Her hair was a
most dellgbtf ol shade of red gold, and
her complexion; being oolarleav wss as
pure as alabaster, and, moreover, Doris
a Very sensible little woman
woman who baorneen need to mixing
In society ever sinoe she first entered
her teens; when she took tbs manage
ment of her father's, house after iier
poor mother's death i a little woman
who, underneath a' guileless exterior.
bad a tremendons amount of taot and
worldly'knowledge, and therefore when
her father married again, although sho
was perfectly friendly with hef step
mother, reobgnised .that it would be as
well for her to have a home of her own,
so, to the surprise of every one, she ao
oepted and married handsome George
Yorke. ' ' - '-.
Why every one was surprised was
simply that George, who, enjoying the
reputation of being the handsomest man
In his set, also had: the reputation of
being tbe very worst flirt in Slowmin-
iter. He had been engaged times out of
number, while his flirtations' were
ooontless, Everybody liked him in spite
of bis weakness for ladies' sooiety. He
was so good looking, so generous snd
witty, so warm hearted, that, In spits
of his delinquencies, be was a universal
favorite. Still tbs news of his engage
ment to Doris oaused quite a thrill of
astonishment, for tbe girl was a flirt,
too, and every one prophesied that tbe
.engagement would: speedily be termi
nated. But every one was wrong.
George Was head over ears in love
with his pretty sweetheart and she was
equally in love with him; so after a
brief but intensely happy, engagement
they ;got married and up to tbe time our
story opens had led an ideally happy
life. Every one pointed them out as be
ing one of the few couples that effepto
ally disproved tbe legend of marriage
beta? a failure.
. Yet hers was Doris in her bedroom st
tbe Queen's hotel at Bournemouth with
knitted brow snd perplexed face.
The cause of her annoyance was very
simple,' She sod George were atsying
at Bournemouth for a few weeks.
She had been very delicate since tbo
birth of her second baby, and tbs doo-
ton bad ordered her: to go down there
for perfect rest and gbange.
George had been . and was most de
voted and kind to her during her ill
neaa, and of course bad accompanied his
bonny little wife to Bournemouth;
- Everything had gone well until a
Mrs. Winn had appeared on the
a young widow, who dressed most beau

overheard a convenstion in which she
was spoken of as "poor, blind little
Mrs. Yorke, " and beard herself describ
ed as "s little fool" for not preventing
tbe flirtation that wssRoinaon between
her husband and Mrs. Winn. Her ears
burned and she wss intensely mortified.
and that evening She in tbe frankest
manner told George of the gossip that
was going on in the hotel.
'Such nonsense, ".he said angrily.
"Mrs. Winn is a charming woman, and
she Interests me, and I am sure that
yon are not snob an Idiot as to bs Jeal-

Doris did not answer, but bar lint

She did not like bee hatband's name to
be connected with Mrs. Winn and for
her to pose as an injured, ansospecting
wife.' Tat bow was it to bs avoided?
She wondered .how shs eenld bring
George to his sen tea, for, sure as she
was of his love and faithfulness, yet
through earelnasnnm he wss likely to
drift into aa unenviable positioa.
It wss no good quarreling, she decid
ed, and worse tbaa fatal for her to ap
pear jealous. She determined to speak
tu him seriously that evening. They
were goiaa to the theater. A very well
known swtress was appearing that week.

"What a donkey he is. bnt ob. niv lord.

with these thoughts she swept into tbo
library.
"On, Captain Beaumont," she fold,

anytmng tnat I can do for you,
Sirs. Xorke, 1 will, " said tbe captain.
00 Doris sat down and told him some
thing at which he at first looked scl
emn and tben burst out langbing.
Agreed," be said; "but, mind, we
mutt both write to Alice tonight.
Certainly," answered Doris, with o
saucy toss of her pretty bead,
That nlgbt George went into his
wife's dressing room.
She . looked, .wonderfully pretty, he
could not belp thinking,
Sbe wore a gown of tbe palest crecn
silk, with a very low bodice lavishly
trimmed with pearl embroidery. She
held out to bim one slender wbito arm
for him to clasp tbe pearl bracelet on.
Ton are a swell, 'f be said, rather
nervously. "What ore you dressing like
tnis for?" i
"Ton forget" she replied sweetly,
We are going to tbe theater.
George flushed
"I do not think that we will go to
the theater tonight, Tou know tbat we
arranged tbat Mrs. Winn and tbe cap
tain should go with us, but sho cannot
get off -the oouob, her ankle is so bod,
and '( told ber tboWe would stop at
nome. one win be so rngbtruiiy dun.
Besides, I am awfully tired, and I
should like to retire early."
He glanoed at Doris again. Would
she be annoyed he wondered. He knew
that sbe bad bad rather a dull day'nt tbe
hotel, bnt still well tbo would not
be silly enough to misrepresent a few
common attentions to a pretty woman,
and he would take ber to the theater
when they returned to town.
That is very sweet of you, " said
Doris. "Poor dear, you do look tired
and worn. Upon my word. George, you
are beginning to look -quite old. You
must go to bed sooner of a night for tbe
future.
George drew a sigh ot relief.
Doris really was a dear little girl.
8ucb a sensible wife I He wonld be able
to resume his conversation with Mrs.
Winn on tbe possibilities of plutonio
love, snd in the meantime Doris oould
finish reading the latest novel. Tbou if
Mrs. Winn's foot were better be would
go to tbe theater next evening.
At dinner that nlabt he could not
help noticing how provekingly pretty
Doris was. Sbe Isngbed and chatted
and was in tbe best of tempers, but
presently ne was asionisnea ne neara
her call just over the table to Captain
Beaumont:
"What time will tbo brougbam be
here tonight?"
"At 8:10, Mrs. Yorke. I did not
think tbat you would want to see tho
first piece. "
'No; you were perfectly right
Uh er oaptain Beaumont you
might have 'made a mistake. We sre
not going to the theater tonight Mrs.
Winn Is not very well. I have arranged
not to go because sbe would be so lone
ly.
"Yes, dear," said Doris, In tbat clear
voice of hers. "I know you are going to
stop snd keep Mrs. Winn company. It
Is so sweet of you, but tbe captain and
1 are going to the theater together, and
it Is just about time, isn't it?"
And sbe got up composedly.
Before George could say a word tbs
was in tbe balL Tbe maid bad brought
her down ber wrap, and tbe captain was
carefully putting It around ber, snd
tben she kissed George on both cheeks.
You poor, old darling." sbe said,
"you do look tired. I hope you will
have a good time with Mrs. . Winn. Do
not wait np till I come home, love. Go
to bed if you are sleepy."
With these words-she went Into the
brougham ,
What a horrible evening George
spent! He wondered what his wife was
doing. How pretty sbs looked snd bow
devoted Beaumont bad appeared to ber I
He tried to read to Mrs. Winn, but it
was not a success. He was distrait-and
miserable. After all, Mrs. Winn was
really not pretty. Her bair was dyed,
her eyes, - liks her complexion, made
up. He went to his own room ct 10
o'clock snd moodily went , io bed. ne
pretended to be asleep, but at 1 1 :80 fas
was quite conscious of Doris coming in,
bright flushed and animated.
"Poor old darling." ho beard her
murmur. "So be has cone to bed.
But I sm not ssleep," bs said
wratbfully.
"Just fancy I" rejoined Doris tweetly.
1 went to tbe drawing room thinking
yon would be with Mrs. Wicu." -
Hang Mrs. Winn I" he said testily.
"I was tired and bad a headache snd
had to go to bed."
I am so sorry," rejoined bis wife,

"My dear, " sho replicd'culmly, "you

when sbe bnd recovered from her fit of
laughter. "Bnt you aro so libo a man.
I, forsooth, must not be jealous of you,

"Nonsense," said George viciously.
"Iljate ber." 1
"And you paid her so much atten

"Sho told me yesterday tbat sho was
going to be married to a man out in In

"And you said tbat you would never

"I was an tin," raid George.
And tben be took Doris in bis arms

"Cpon mysoul,"vbe said in a few

When he met Captain Beaumont in

There is a growing impression that
American poultry raisers have been
neglecting tbe goose. Of the seven
standard breeds tbe gray wild variety is
extensively raised. These geese have a
rather small head, small bill, sharp at
tbe point and long, slender neck, snaky
in appearance. The back is long and
rather narrow, and is arched from neck j
to tail; breast full and deep, and body
long and somewhat slender. Tbe wings

Tbe Country Gentleman quotes Pro
fessor M. B. Waite in regard to disin
fecting tbe pruning knife used iu cut
ting out wood diseased by pear blight
as follows:
"The solution to bo used In disinfect
ing tbe pruning knife is tbe csrbolic
acid solution, wbiob is doubtless tbe
best for tbls purpose. It la made by
shaking up the acid, SJreferubly tbe
crystalline form, in a bottle with wa
ter. The solution should contain about
0 per oent ot tbe sold. A piece of cloth
or a sponge should be fastened inside
tbo vessel containing tbe solution, and
each time the knife it used it should bs
wiped on this cloth or sponge. A solu
tion of ordinary chloride of lime is slso
good for disinfecting tbo knife. It
should contain about S or 8 per oent of
tbe chloride of lime. Another solution
which can te used for tblt purpose is
corrosive sublimate (merourio chloride).
A solution, contaluing one-tontb of 1
per oent would be sufficiently strong.
Tablets containing snfllulent corrosive
sublimate for a quart of water can be
obtained at almost any drug store. "

in wbich the building is situated, and
there they find abundance of water to tbat
tboy can clean tbomialves. After a few
days tbey are placed Iu the boase iu tbe
fattening pena It requires four or five
weeks of careful feeding to fatten tbe
goose. Tbe establishment has a stoam
corn mill and eorn 'heller. Tho corn is
purchased from the farmers In tbe neigh
borbood and is shelled and ground into
meal. Tbe cobs run down n shoot to tbe
furnaoe and make enough fuel to ran
tbo machinery. The meal is mixed into
a dough and iu that form fed to tbe
geese.
"A goore is tbo cleanest fowl alive,"
says Mr. Bcnaker. "I have been in tbe
poultry business siuco 1871, have han
dled all kindsof domostio fowl and have
studied tboir habits olosely and bave
never seen anything which equals the
goose in cleanliness. Tbey are constant
ly at work keeping their foatbers clean,
snd if tbey have plenty of water tbey
are never seen except wben fit for dieas
parade. Tbey are equally careful re
garding tbeir food. On ono occasion we
bongbt a lot of corn which bad masted,
and the goeso woulduot eat tbe dongb
msdo from it, nor will they cat dough
after It has soured. On this account we
fasvs to be very careful to nils up no
more aougn man lue goeso will eat iu
a day.
"Another peculiar thing aboat geese
It that tbey eat a great deal more some
days than tbey do on others. For in
stance, it freqnently requires 80 or 40
buckets of dough a day to a given pen
of geese. Tben for a few days tbey will
probably not tat more (ban a docen
buckets. Wben tbey bars plenty of wa
ter and wnolcsoms food, soese fatten
rapidly and bave no diaeaae, but unless
tbey bave an opportunity to keep clean
and bave pure food tbey die rapidly.
"Tbey are sold by tbe braoeand aver
age wben fat from 14 to 8 pounds a
brace. We sell our geeae 1 in only one
market New York eisy. Tbey are
shipped in poultry cars and are furnish
ed with ao abundance of water and
cornmeal dough wbilo tbey ars on tbe
way. lhe reason tbey are shipped alive
is thai Hebrews nisy uot purchase tbem
after tbey are killed. Last year we ship

INSURANCE !
, I wish to call tho attention, of insurers In Alamance county
to tho fact that tho Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1803 by tho late firm of Tate dt Albright, is still in the ring. '
. Thero is no insurance agency in North Carolina with better .
' facilities for placing large lines of insurance, that can give low-'
er rates or better indemnity. Only first-class companies, in every
branch of tho business, find a lodgement in my office. - With
a practical experience of more than ten years, I feel warranted
in soliciting a shnro of the local patronage. I guarantee full
satisfaction in every instance.. Correspondence solicited upon
all matters pertaining to insurance. - '
I am making a specialty of Life Insurance and will make
it to the interest of all who desiro protection for their families'
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit
able investment, to confer with me before, giving their applica
tions to other agents.
Very respectfully,
