dear grandfather." Estelle exclaimed'
"both yon and I will be the gainers."
"You are weeping, child." aaid the
old man. aeelng the tears that blinded

"You did right to tell me, that 1 may

If be does. Never Invite blm to come

all the dogs on blm."
"Calm yourself, my little one," the
grandfather said soothingly, "and re
member that Constant Is a white man
and Leon only bis negro slave."
"Grandfather." the girl replied spir
itedly, "It Is more probable that Leon
Is not QuIUebert's negro slave than
that Qulllebert Is deserving to be call
ed a white man."
"Wbat do you mean. Estelle V
"I cannot tell yoo now, but time will

never shall one of our slaves be put to

"I promise that sincerely."
"'Then, dear grandfather, let us talk
no mere of this unhappy subject. You
need your supper and pipe."
"Tea dear, and tell old .lullp to drln
the coffee extra strong to quiet my
nerves."
Passing Into the ball, Estelle found
Odette sobbing bitterly aud, taking her
hand, said In a low tone:
"Yon heard what my grandfather
told nr
'Yes, mamselle. Forgive me for lis
tening."
"Remember, then, Odette, what Leon
suffered for your sake and be yon as
brave and silent for his. The God of
mercy will right all this wrong. Trust
In God and Mr. Oakfell."
"""Yea and you, dear mistress."
"Go now, bathe your eyes In cool wa
ter and watt on-us at table with a face
showing no trace of weeping."
Estelle. proceeded to her own room
and, closing the door, inelt at the pret
ty little priedleu near her bed. Bowing
Iter beautiful head and closing her eyes,
she addressed her petition for the suc
cor, of ibe oppressed to-heaven, but In
her Involuntary vision she saw only the

this dual devotion she was summoned

"What Is that you say? Abolition

his patron the brimming gloss of liquor.
"Not so loud, Idiot!" Qulllebert said,
and, with tbe look of cruel ferocity
which came Into his visage whenever
his malevolence was at work, be added
fn low, grumbling tone: "Did not his

A salt tea Ysrn.
The Bowdoin Quill tells this
sea ysrn: "It wss back In 1870,
and tbe coaster Jonathan Bell was
beating ber. way from Boston to
of a joggingold tramp steamer ahead
for the Monheean light, she shaped
oer course by it, and had the un
canny experience or. following this
receding lighthouse all night and
getting 50 miles off bar course.
Head winds made the Bell three
days late into Bocklsnd, and ths
captain lost his job.
, "In explaining his mistsks the old
salt said: 'You see, tfie masthead
light of the tramp wss hoisted on
the for'ard side of the mait, so that
the mast eras in between tbe lantern
and our boat. Tbst night the swell
was pretty regular; but ss is always
the esse, every minute or so there is
heavier roll than usual. That ex
tra beavj roll was just enough to
swing the light out from behind the
mast so we could see it, to that the
old tramp, with the ocean to help,
was doing an imitation of Monhegan
jnst to take in fools like us. Well,
we chssed her 50 miles, but there's
no use crying over it."

ROAD BUILDING.
Isaoortaajt relata ta Obeeera la Ma
last HloThwara.
The first three Important points to
consider In the construction of a road,
says a road engineer, are grade, cost of
maintenance and cost of construction.
Speaking or the grade, he says that
theoretically a level road Is the one
sought after, but experience teaches
that s one-balf or 1 per cent grade is
preferable, securing better drainage,
which Is the baais of life of a road. A
level road through low lands Is s very
expensive thing. A rood needs the sun
as much as a crop and should have lo
cations on the sides of bills to salt the
sun. Distance should alwsys be sacri
ficed In fsvor of grade. Tbe grade
should never break In a Oil, but at ei
ther end. so aa to keep as much of the
water off tbe grade as possible. Ditch
es should be mode on all embankments
to "prevent washes.
After the estsbllahment of tbe
grades with cuts snd litis by tbe engi
neers, the preparation of the roadbed
Is turned over to tbe supervisor. He
depends almost entirely upon road ma
chines In placing tbe earth for a bed

with the ssme crown which Is ready
for tbe macadam. Ths bed Is now roll
ed, depressions are Sited and spongy
places cut ont and filled with dry earth.
Tbo surface Is now ready to receive the
bedrock.
Tbe bedrock conelats of six Inches of
broken stone paeeed through a three
Inch ring. These broken stones should
be spread with a dumping wagon or
with a shovel. It Is bad to dump ths
atone from a wagon In one place snd
spread wltb a rake by pulling. This si-
wsys teavee the moot stone where the
dump was. A heavy barrow should be
used la leveling the broken stone.
Ths second layer should consist of
three or four Inches of stone broken to
go through a two Inch ring, wltb every
thing which will go through a one Inch
ring taken out. This layer should be
sprinkled and rolled until perfectly
smooth.
The third and last layer should con
sist of the screenings snd any stone
less than one Inch In diameter, spread
to a thickness of one and a half to two
Inches. If possible. It Is best to flood
tbls last coat wtth water and let It
etand overnight This should be done
Instead of using ths rolls when tbe road
la dry. The top coat should be rolled
until it Is hard enough so tbst It will
crush like material when rolled on Its
surface. Instead of forcing tbe solid
pieces down into tbe rood. Tbe experi
ment of throwing pieces under tbs roll
er should be tried frequently.
This would sppear to be a solid snd
enduring piece of road. And It Is. But I
It needs attention. The repairing of a !
macadam road requlree more skill snd
attention than tbe original construc
tion. For tbe first few years tbe loosen
ing of sny depression and the filling up
of tbe same with broken stone win
keep the road In good shape If care Is
need. But after five years, resurfacing
with four or five Inches of stone Is
seises ry.

It is a sad thing to see fine
ruit trees spoiled by the blight
You can always tell them from
the rest They never do well
afterwards but stay small and
sickly.
It is worse to see a blight
strike children. Good health
is the natural right of children.
But some of them don't get
their rights. While the rest
grow big and strong one stays
small and weak.
Scott's Emulsion can stop
that blight There is . no
reason why such a child should
staysmalL Scott's Emulsion
is a medicine with lots of
strength in it the kind of
strength that makes things
grow.
Scott s Emulsion makes
children grow, makes them cat
makes them sleep, makes them
play. Give the weak child a
chance. Scott's Emulsion will
make it
catch
up
with the rest
