H. Pridgen, CHEEK, N. c. THE SECRET. "But how is it that you know more than the rest of the world?" "I was there whoa it happened," Miss Artois quietly replied, "but to this day they have not the slightest suspicion that Miss Artois is au acquaintance." Belle Hampton opened her eyes wide.' "What on earth do you mean, Blanche?" she exclaimed. "Only that I was there as parlor maid," Miss Artois coolly responded, ier haughty eye sweeping the magnif icent width of the handsome conserva tory through which they were saun tering. "As parlor maid!" echoed Belle, up setting a rare exotic as she hastily turned to look at her companion. "A parlor maid! What would mamma say?" At this a little ripple of laughter parted Miss Artois' handsomely curved lips, but the next moment she said gravely: "You need not tell her. I am in the confessional to you alone, remember." And then she continued abruptly: "When the world said I was rusti cating among the Yorkshire hills 1 was playing parlor maid at Red Moor. Wherefore? That is my secret. "The three old ladies of Red Moor reminded me more of three little sprites than aught else. When prop erly disguised, aproned and capped I was presented for their approval. But, fortunately for me, their keen, bright eyes rested favorably upon me, and with my good star in the ascendant I entered upon the somewhat promiscu ous duties assigned me. "I had not been in the house three weeks before I discovered that it con cealed a mystery. "The discovery was made by me iu this way: One night, after restlessly tossing for hours with an aching face, I rose, intending to go down to the li brary fire. "I softly crossed the upper hall, al ways kept dimly lighted, and was about proceeding downward when the weird sight of old Mrs. Yasser, the eldest of my three mistresses, sudden ly arrested me. "Instinctively I paused and gazed. She was standing with her back to ward me in a dark, narrow angle of the building at the extreme end of the hall, her splendid waves of snowy hair floating irtvwild disorder over the blood red dressing gown sweeping far be hind her. But the spell binding me was broken by what appeared to be her sudden disappearance through the solid wall. " 'Strange!' I exclaimed under my breath. 'The servants told me that part of Red Moor was fearfully haunt ed and consequently had been walled up and rendered wholly inaccessible.' "Of course I was curious, but I re turned to my bed and fell asleep. "A month later I was passing along one of the many narrow, winding cor ridors with which the house abounded when at a sudden turning I came upon the old. gray headed butler bending under the weight of a large tray filled to overflowing with all the luxuries of the season. " 'Jasper!' I involuntarily exclaimed. 'Where in the world are you taking that repast? Everybody in the house has been served.' "Silent and motionless, he stood gaz ing at me in blank dismay. The next instant there was a soft rustle of silk, and the old housekeeper's voice rang sharp and stern from the other end of the corridor: " 'Jasper, attend to your business! Myra, come here, adding still more sternly as I obediently approached, 'and do you attend to yours, girl. What brings you here at this hour?' "She listened to my excuses and then sharply dismissed me. "Two days after as Bradley and I sipped our tea together we were star tled to our feet by the sudden clank ing of heavy chains in the adjoining room, and the next instant the door flew violently open, and an old man of herculean proportions dashed in upon us, his trailing chain, wild, bloodshot eyes and disordered apparel proclaim ing too plainly the frightful truth. " 'Not here cither!' he shrieked, stamping his foot in foaming rage as his glance rested upon us. 'Not here! Not here!' "Bradley, apparently paralyzed with horror, looked appealingly at me and said: '"Your mistresses! Save them! Run!' "I got to the drawing room door when the creature seized me by the shoulders and sent me whirling to the floor. I was on my feet again in an instant, but his wild eye had caught sight of poor Mrs. Yasser, who, with her sisters, had started up and stood gazing at "him in petrified horror. The next instant ho caught her, with a fierce shout of triumph and delight, in his arms. "Swift as lightning he bore her out to the great winding staircase. You know the rest. In a second's time she lay dead below, and he in leaning over the balustrade to gloat over his fear ful work lost his balance, and before the hurrying servants could reach their poor mistress he lay with a broken neck upon the stairs. "He was Albert Yasser, her husband, but pride kept and still keeps the Red Moor secret well. To this day the world thinks the maniac was a wan derer from some asylum." Weak. "Ah," exclaimed the new boarder as he put down his empty cup, "that's quite a good idea!" "Yes?" replied Mrs. Starvem patron izingly. "Then you haven't been ac customed to begin your dinner with consomme served in a cup, eh?" "Consomme? Why, I thought it was hot water to prevent dyspepsia." Phil adelphia Press. OUTS tftt&sb tiktas? etti Eftajfcp high FOR THE CHILDREN A Perfect Vacuum. If your teacher of physics ever asks you whether or not a perfect vacuum has ever been produced, you may an swer that it has, and then, to.the as tonishment of both him and your class mates, perhaps, you may explain how, eays the Chicago News. It was produc- ed by an American scientist, Trofessor , j. X 1 T " f fates of Washington, and this is how he did it: lie took a tube of glass clos ?d at one end, the-glass being of a kind hat taelts only at a very high tempera ture. Into this he poured molten glass of a kind that melts at a comparative ly low temperature. After this had cooled, making a solid mass that com pletely filled the tube, he attached a suction pump to the open end of the tube and then applied heat until the softer glass inside was completely melted, when he drew that out by means of the pump, leaving just enough to completely close the end of the tube.,.-Then he allowed the tube to cool, and as no air could possibly enter the space left vacant bj' the withdraw al of the molten glass it is believed J 1 A.

The j one who is posing stays in the frame, j changing the poses to suit the de mands, until he or she is made to I lausrh. The one who has made the re- j mark which caused the other to laugh 1 now is the picture, while the frame is changed and four other people form it. At first the audience will in their properness demand dignified pictures, but as the fun grows and the remarks are sillier less grownup pictures, such as a "lame duck" and a "runaway horse," will suffice. The most sedate will give way before such ridiculous poses as these, and the fun and frolic will be unrestrained. Our Forty-six Starred Banner. On July 4, 100S, the new starry em blem of this country, the forty-six starred banner of the free, the Amer ican flag containing the additional star representing the new state, Oklahoma, will be unfurled to the breeze. Rearrangement of the entire starry portion of the flag will be necessary to provide for the additional star. The state emblems of the present, forty-five in number, are placed in six alternate rows of eight and seven. The new star when added will necessitate making up as follows: Top row, eight stars; second row, seven; third row, eight; fourth row, eight; fifth row, seven; sixth row, eight. Entertainment For a Party. A correspondent of the Boston Globe describes a dance in which she took part many years ago at an entertain ment. The writer says: "When I was a young girl I was one of eight young people who dressed themselves exactly 'backward' and danced a plain qua drille on the stage of our parish hall for the edification of the audience, and I assure you it caused no end of mer riment. Our dresses were put on hind side before, and our hair was pugged over our face?, with a mask fastened to the back of our heads. The effect of dancing dressed like this is simply side splitting." Can You Gsy This Quickly? I put my pretty pate in a pretty pewter pot. In a pretty pewter pot I put my pretty pate. A Sailing Party. "We had a sailing party at our house the other day. We sr.iled to funny places. . You can do that when It's play. You see, it was my birthday, and 'twas such a funny fix The boys and pirls invited all just num bered twenty-six. Yve only had a little time to think about our trips And where we'd send them sailing and how to load their ships. Amanda went to Africa with alligator pears And Benny to Bulgaria with buttercups and bear3. Camilla chose Colombia with cats and currant cakes. Then Donald for the Dardanelles sailed off with ducks and drakes. Wee Eva was for England bent with ele phants and eyes, And Fanny fared to Florida with fancy work and flics. Grace sent her ship to Germany with gin gerbread and gum, And Harry hied to Halifax with honey, hives and hum. To India -went Isabel -with ices and with ills, John (that was I) to Jericho with jump ing Jacks and Jills. Kate started out to Keokuk with kanga roos and kites And Tawrenee un to Labrador with lisht- i ring rods and lights. i May money Ind maS" Michisan with ! And Nellie off to Novgorod with nettles I Olivia Glassed with obelisk, and OWl3 And Peter to Palermo's port with pump kins and peafowls. Tall Queenic went off to Quebec with quinine and with quills. And Ralph was loaded up for Rome with rattlesnakes and rills. Samantha steered for Sandy Hook with siUabub and sacks. Tom followed, bound for Tarrytown, with turning lathes and tacks. Then Una took some unicorns and urns to Ur.iuay. With Talentincs to Ycnice Yictor proudly sailed away. Wise William went to Washington with wagons and with whips. On the next one mother helped us 'twa3 the hardest of our trips. She said Xerxes with "Xcelsior" to Xupa sailed his ships. Yolande with some yellow dogs sought Yeddo's port afar, And Zenas l?st. with zebras, finished up at Zanzibar. : Of course my mother helped us some to fit our ships and names, But even so wo thought It was the very best of games.

A iirther reco m men da i i on urci 1:1 Kit cotton bo securely housed wiie:. being held from th- market in- .lev to prevent the deterioration of its ' oMade " , " The committee on banking and insurance, of which ?r. J. P. Allison was chairman, recom mended the following scheme which was adopted: "As the necessity for meeting contracts causes an immense amount of cotton to be sold dur ing the months of August, Sep tember and October, to relievo this the Southern Cotton Asso ciation shall recommend local banking warehouses to be estab lished wherever the amount of cotton raised justifies, to loan money to the farmers in raising the crop, and in holding same the land owner endorsing the notes for those who raise cotton on his land. This will abolish to a great degree 'time prices,' and will assure the cotton going to the warehouses in place of on the market. If the farmers will keep their accounts with the banking warehouses, there will be a suf ficient amount of the money to transact business. Banking real estate companies have proven quite successful, and cotton is a much quicker asset than real estate. Two classes of certifi cates for cotton could be issued! one to pay the price on the sam ple, the other being a special de posit where the owner retains the ownership of cotton." The committee on resolutions presented the following pper to the Convention, which was adopt ed item by item: "Kesolved, That in the face of the recent financial stringency and money panic, we would ad vise the farmers to keep out of debt as much as possible, to raise home supplies, for it has been demonstrated time and again mat witnout home sup plies, the holding of cotton is a very difficult matter and almost impossible. 'Furthermore, we would sug gest that this Association use its utmost endeavor to bring about iu uvitttJi uuuerstiummg uiiu a closer relation with the bankers and business men in general. We fully recognize that each is equal ly dependent upon the other. And again, it is apparent that there should be a change made in the present manner of making all iebts due about the first of No vember each year. It has given the bear element a very effective weapon to pull down the price of cotton. We would suggest to the farmers that this system be changed by mutual agreement, making one-third due November 1st, one-third January 1st, and one one-third March 1st. The Jumping 01? R:.S3 .
