' .'HWW'M'II M III Mil It 11 "How very extraordinary r said Christopher Kent. He sat up and sur veyed the. red covered cart drawn by very plump. pony hat had stopped by the side of the road. A girl in a smart costume of tan covert climbed down from the front seat and led the pony out of the shafts, tied him with a long tether so that he might crop the Juicy sod and then, returning once more to the cart, helped a somewhat fragile but smiling lady to descend. Well, of all things said Christo- pher helplessly. But woras raiiea mm as ne watcoeu the further proceedings of the girl In tan. From the depths of the cart she brought forth a little folding table. which she proceeded to set op in a place screened from the gase of pass ing folk by a hedge or wua noney- auckle. On the table the girl set a shining copper kettle, two nips, two plates, a small teapot and various tin boxes and little glass Jars, whose gay labels pro claimed the delicious ness witmn. "Ifs a picnic," the young man de cided, and as the older lady lighted the alcohol name ana it Durnea ueneuiu the coDDer kettle Christopher sighed. In ten minutes he was due at the Sunset inn for his supper. He would eat It with the yst of the surveying party of which he was the head. They would have fried nam ana noiiea pom- toes and pie, and the only woman would be the girl who waited on the table and who was big and froosy and atnnid. And here within a tone's throw of whont he lav under the great oak were two ladles making tea as daintily as If they were In their drawing room. Um iu dnwn his book. "Irs a ro mantic situation," be reflected, "and far be K from me to evade it" With that be stepped Jauntily into the open. He saw the girl lift ber bead and look at him. and as he went toward her she rose and came forward. ( "I am so glad," she said, "to sea soma one who will tell me If there la a place near ben where I can get oats for my pony. I gave him the last this morning." "I was Just coming," Christopher re plied gravely, "to find u were anything I coold do for you. It is an an usual circumstance, I might say a great treat, to see ladies up here. I felt that I must offer you the hospitali ty of the mountain road tne seye m our city, as It were." The girl gave him a quick glance, noting the strength of the tall figure an& bis' air of good breeding. "I am sure," she said, "that you are very kind, and now If you win tell ne your name I will present you to my mother, Mrs. Ames." -mm Tbe older lady acanowieaaw troductkw genially. .

Kent shook bis head. "There s a pretty tough class among the miners up here. It's different lower down, where you come In touch only with ag ricultural communities. But some of these men are very Ignorant and very rough." "Please," the girl cautioned, "please dont lull hi about them. We want to reach t'' of tbe mountain, and I am not n ' nfrald." She v.wi leaking the omelet as she talked, turulng It expertly with a thin knife and taking it up when It was puffy and brown. "It la a food fit for the gods," Kent commented when she had served It with the salad and cream cheese and srackers. "If you only knew," he continued, "bow good It seems to eat once more of tbe food of civilization. Ton should see tbe cooking we have at tbe Sunset ton." "This Is the food of Arcady," Elca Bor told him. "Mother and I call this the Derfect land. And tomorrow we hall reach the heights I" Tbe way she said It thrilled Kent with a new emotion. How beautiful she was with tbe dreams In her eyesl "You must let me watch over you while you are here," he said after a silence. "I am afraid some of these half savage foreigners may make It unpleasant when tbey know you are Unprotected." But Eleanor would not hear of It "Indeed we are safe." she protested. ''Every one we meet has treafed us with tine courtesy." But be was not convinced, and all that night he slept on the ground with in calling distance of tbe rod cart The next day the pony drew the red cart to the top of the mountain, and there the ladles set up a permanent camp, facing the sunset with tbe val leys stretching far below them. Every day Christopher Kent climbed the forest road, taking with him soaie tlmea a fish that he had caught In the stream or a brace of birds to be broil ed over tbe fire. t And always the two lonely women welcomed him, Mrs. Ames frankly and Eleanor with a dawning shyness that gave him hope. "I have bad a bit of good fortune,'' be told the girl one morning eagerly. "My uncle bas written that when I go back in December I am to have a part Interest In his business. It means a big Income and a settled place for life." . "And you wont come again to the mountain V she asked. "No, my work will be done In town." She sat very still, looking off over tbe valley. "Poor mountain!" she said. "How lonely it win be when we are one and tbe winter comes r She shivered a little. "It's such a gray October day," she added, "What ara your niansr- oe tJoned. "Mine Oh, I don't know!" a little drearily. "When I can leave mower I will sw to work. In meaname we win live with a distant eousm."

Tbe older woman revived immediately In tbe comfort of a strong man's pres ence, "I was very silly," sbe said, "put they looked such brutes."

"I am golns to drive you down into the valley," he sold. "You and your mother must spend the night at one of tbe farmhouses." "But" Eleanor protested. "There are no 'buts,'" he told her. "You are to obey," and be smiled down at her. The light from the dying fire showed the tenderness in bis strong face, and. seeing It, she said "Ohl" with quick drawn breach. "Dear heart" be murmured, "Just once you must obey. But If you could promise to love and honor always we might make a marriage service of it tomorrow. There's a little church in the valley, and I know tbe minister." "You are doing It Just to take care of me, she said, flushing. He took her hand In his. "I am do ing it because I love you," be said. "Shall !li.d the little church, Elea nor?" "Oh, who would have believed that the road to Arcady led there?" sbe whispered, with a wonderful light In her eyes. Fatal Abstraction. History tells how Archimedes - tbe Great, while busily engaged in trac ing geometric figures In the sand In his 'home city, Syracuse, forgetful of tbe fact that the city was besieged and all the inhabitants In danger of being slaughtered by tbe Romans, was speared by the victorious foemen, who had forced their entrance. Archi medes perished. And Plato was near to death on account of bis abstraction. While walking forth one evening, bis eyes fixed on the stars, his mind busy at solving some celestial problem that occupied it he fell Into a wll, from which he was extricated wli'i difficul ty. Chicago Record-Herald. I uyax.r email winoow ran. On the west coast of India Is found a species of oyster, Placuna placenta, whose shc.i consists of a pair of rough ly circular plates about six Inches In diameter, thin and white. At present these oysters are collected for the pearls which tbey often contain, al though few are fit for tbe use of the Jeweler. But In the early days of English rule In India the shells were employed for window panes. Cut Into little squares, tbey produced a verj pretty effect admitting light like frost ed glass. When tbe Bombay cathe dral was built at tbe beginning of tbe eighteenth century its windows wen paned with these oyster shells. In Ooa they are still thus employed. Youth's Companion. Carlyl.

This bill wai passed with the aid and by the in fluence of farmers, who were led to believe that this bill would help them settle a hard question of light and fuel. Many of them thought that after the bill was passed the average farm er would be able to make alcohol on SHALL ntKNCH STILL. (he farm at a low price and that be could use this alcohol In place of other fuel, Tbe result bas been disappoint ing to such farmers. The price of al cohol la still so high that It cannot be used In place of wood or coal. At tbe time the bill was passed many well Informed farmers all over tbe country feared that tbe alcohol Industry would be much the same as the beet sugar business that It would not be made on tbe small farms, but concentrated In tbe factories, where farm produce is brought, very much aa sugar beets are brought to tbo factory or milk ot cream to tbe creamery. There la still, however, a demand for a small distilling apparatus, but so far nothing of practical use bas been made In this country. The Illustrations given herewith are taken from a French catalogue and show two devices for making alcohol In small quantities. They are popular In France. These pictures give an Idea of the way the machines are operated. Tbe small ones appear to be pretty close to toys, but there are Isrger and more expensive devices which are real ly practical, A great deal of tbe alcohol making In France appears to be done by trav suras wuat attabatcs. eling distillers, who go from place to place very much tbe same as grain thrashers travel in this country. Tbey will go to a farmer's place and work apples, potatoes, beets or other mate rial into alcohol at a stated price. 14 Is doubtful whether this method will be practical In this country for a good many years, ss tba conditio as here are very different from those on tba other aide. Weed needs In Manure. It is well known that there la con siderable risk of Introducing new weeds by tbe pure ha ae of manure and bay and other feeding stuffs. E. I.

ON THE FARM. 9- aw THE FARMER'S BOY. In Many Inatanoea Ha Has a Miataktn Idea of City Lift. Tbe great trouble with country boys Is that tbey are not aware of the cir cumstances under which the city bby is compelled to live and work If he has to earn his living by tl sweat of his brow. The Idea held up to the country boy Is to' go to town aud get a nice, easy, soft snap such as So-nud-eo has. How many of them do It? Not one in a thousand. Far more guttbere to And work In some close, stagnant mill, to sweat amid the fumes of steam or to bacco sinoke, or perhaps lu some Iron mill or foundry, surrouuded by the curses of their fellow men, toll out a weary day of eleven or thirteen hours and after the day Is over go home and to such a home! Up some little back street In a bandliox built of brick and named a bouse more than likely our workman lias his home, there to pass away the weary hours - of the night amid the heat mid stagnation of probably a filthy street ouly a few feet wide, hot. close und dirty. In any large city on some sultry night ono may see the workmen unci their fami lies hi these little narrow city streets stretched about the steps and pave ments In all conditions. These are not slums either, but fairly respectable neighborhoods. To BU' li a coudlllou of life mnny of our country boys have gone, and mnny more nre today preparing to go. Fat pay aud ' big pay envel opes? Not In these times. If our city laborer averages $12 a week he la a lucky man. Tens of thousands get less rather than more. Country boy, before you make the change. In the name of that country you have been taught to hold In reverence, look and do not leap! If you understand farming there are Just aa many chances on tbe land to be worked out as tbero are In the city. This. Is s great country, and if you do not like the kind of farming you are working at there are many others. If you belong to a family that follows tbe grind, grind system of all work and no play, when you reach your majority and start for yourself follow out an easier system. Do not condomn country life Just because you have been unfortunnto enough to be brought up In the borne of a man who knows nothing but grind. Do not over look tbe fact that If such a man was your boss in the city be would grind your life away. Long, long before you were twenty-one years old you would be occupying some six feet of green turf, wbere at last you would iot bear tbe dreaded call and curse of tbo boss. Country life may nof be and probably Is not what many would like to color it; but, all things being equal, it Is far preferable to city life. That Is Just wbere It comes In. City life Is never compared wltb country life on an equal plane. Remember that If you must work In the country for a living you will bare to work in tbe city for one, too, and if you possess the ability In youmelf to rise above the ordinary workman In tbe city that same ability will carve out a borne for you In tbs country. Look before you leap, con sider all things, and If you are sure you can better yourself In tbe city go; If not, stay on tbe old farm. Plowing For drape L.af Hopptr. Plowing Is sometimes done by Cali fornia vlneyardlsts during tbe winter season for tbe purpose of destroybig tbe grape leaf hoppers. This Is partly based upon tbe supposition that tbe eggs msy be in the leaves or In tbe ground or that tbe adult hoppers are In some way killed In the operation. So far as bating a direct effect In de stroying tbe hoppers Is concerned, plowing to of little avail. Tbe ouly ones that wUI be killed are a few that may not be disturbed from their rest ing placet among tbe leaves or other wise accidentally burled by tbe plow. During tbe cold or rainy daya tbcre may be a few thus turned under, bnt ordinarily tbey are active enough to escape readily before tbe plow. Plowing, however, may have an ui dlrect effect on the hoppers by depriv ing them of food or of suitable shelter ing places during unfavorable weatlier conditions, snd If this practice Is gen erally carried out In a neighborhood It will no doubt result In reducing tbe numbers somewhat However, a field may be free from hoppers during tba winter, but this Is not necessarily an indication of freedom from aprlug Infestation. Tbs Insects are more gen erally distributed In the winter sea son, bat tba bulk of them will usually be found la tbe vineyard or on tbe vegetation of tbe borders Immediately apcxt oaara lba aorrsm. lurroandlng tt. Tbey may come la, therefore, from vineyards closely ad joining, eo that plowing a single vine yard may to of Uttle help. When tbe plowing b) done In a single vine, yard or over a small area It to likely to result simply In driving tbem Into other fields wbere there Is a better food supply. Once ta these ether alt nations tbey amy or say not coma back Into tbe vineyard where tbey originally.

THE HERCULES OF THE GAME His Marvelous Fast of Pluck, Strtngth and Endurance That Won the Ptn nant For Providence In 1884 A Ree- ord In Garnet Won. Pitchers may come and pitchers may go, but tbe name of "Old noes" Rad bourne goes on forever. I bave talked to many great ball players who bave lamented to me the fact that baseball fame is so ephemeral that it was not worth the gaining, and, while no doubt this Is in a great measure true, ftiere la one pitcher wbo bas left a name that promises to roll on for many, many years. Each yoar hundreds of pitchers claim attention of tbo world, and each year they are promptly forgotten. But Illi nois produced a man wbo, although now years deceased, has a brighter name than any of tbe great multitude In tbe great campaign of 1884, when tbe Providence club, then a member of tbe National league, waa fighting a bit ter game with Philadelphia, a catastro phe occurred that seemingly would .disrupt Its chances of winning the pen nant. A player named Sweeney, who waa Pitching, was ordered to go Into right field to change places wltb "Cy clone" Miller. At that time It was not permissible to take a pitcher out of tbe game. Whereupon Sweeney promptly walked out of the game, leaving the toain wltb only eight men and with one pitcher, Charles Radbourne. Two men tried to cover tbe field, with tbe result that Providence was completely snowed under. A meeting of tbe directors waa held to decide whether or not the club should be dis banded. Certainly a professional team waa never In a sorrier plight Radbonrno waa approached and tbe proposition put to blm. "I can win It all right" tfald be quietly and In a matter of fact tone. And then followed tbe most remark, able battle for a pennant that tbe world bas over seen. Radbourne tablishcd a record that bas never been equaled, one that will live when more expensive coutcsta will bave been blissfully forgotten. Of twenty-seven consecutive games Radbourne won twenty-six. In four games wltb Bos ton be bad three shutouts, only one run wus scored and only seventeen bits were made. This defeat was suf fered at the bands of Buffalo by a score of 2 to 0, and even then only five hits were made off blm, showing that tbe defeat was not due to poor pitching. Needless to say, Providence won the pennant, or, rather. Had bourne won tbo pennant But the great player bad to pay the price. No arm could stand tbe awful strain without great agony. Morning after morning when Radbourne arose bo could not lift his arm as high as bis waist, lie had to brush bis hair wltb aV left band. But bo did not glvo up the gamo. He would slip out to tbe park about two hours before the rest of tbe team put In an ap pearance and would begin tbe excru ciating procoss of limbering np. He would pitch the ball only s few feet when he would flret go out but be would keep on trying time after time, rubbing bis arm wltb his left band. Sometimes hut face would be drawn up Into contortions, but never a word of complaint left bis lips. Half an hour before tbe game was to begin tbe players would slip out to see bow "Old Hoss" wss getting along. Tbey would sit silently on tbe bench, watting for bis arm to get Into condi tion. When be was able to throw from second to borne base a rousing cheer would go up, for tbey knew that meant tbe winning of the gamo for tbem. Radbourne claimed for bis borne Bloomlngtoo, lit After his great sea son wltb Providence managers all over tbe country were upon bis heels.
