"Cut promise mo yon will be most careful and avoid nil danger, for my ako." "You may rest assured," he smil ingly replied, "that suicide is at prcs-iut the farthest from my iuten- tions. ' "Dj uot jest, but tell me yon will in erery way possible preserre yonr xelt from danger. It was so real that you were lost to met You will prom ise, won't you, please?" she pleaded. "What is it I am to promise?" queried Duncan. "That you will avoid auy action that could result in disaster to you." "Why, then, I promise; promise to do whatever lies within my power to livert any culamity that would for one moment grieve my little Dora." "Ob, thank you!" she cried, cling ing to him as though she was not quite auro that hu promise had saved him from some inevitable peril. ' On cold, gray morning, four months later, the wind began at an early boar to mean dismally along the rocky shore; by noou it had increased to ft gale, accompanied by snow, and long before twilight a storm in all its fury was besieging the little fishing namict. Tbreo wires sat up ta tbe lighthouse . tower, t An l they trimmed tbe lamps ta tbe sua went down; Tbey looked st tbe squall and they looked at tbe shower, i And the night rack cr-. rolling np nigged and brown; Bat tneu must work and women mast woep. Though storms bo sudden sud waters , deep, And the harbor bsr bo moaning" Sang Dora as sho fiuished her last domestic duties of the day. "How glad I am that my Duncan is not one of the poor railor bora to night," she added to herself as, be fore aealing herself with her mother she ran tad peered from the little win dow against which the snow was stead Wy beating. Yes, there was Duncan, almost at the doorbut who was with him? Dora hastened to admit them to the light; but only Dnuran entered, call ing to his companion, who was fast disappearing in the darkness, "Will iw with you directly." Then to the astonished Dora he hastily explained: "A vessel on the point is signalling for help and Joo is picking np men to go to her relief. Sorry I can't stay with you." A terrible thought crosses her mind her dream of not long ago and quicKiy clasping her hands npou his arm sne said, with face pale in its in tensity: "You mast not iro." "Not go!" was his astonished reply. I should hare supposed vou would urge ms to go to the relief of those who are in each distress." "Duncan." she responded, in tones whose ealmness was belied by the ter ror depicted in her face, "you must . not go, for I know now it was of this that I dreamed." "Dots, can you think of those auf faring fouls out there and permit each superstitions to bar-me from render ...tog them assistance?" "How en I let you go," came from she quivering lips, "whin I know you are going to your death?" Firmly be unclasped the clinrinir Augers from his arm and with hearty "Good by, Dora," his hand was upon tbe Istoh. With cry she , attempted to spring between the door and him whose life the wa striving to reclaim before it wee too late. His strong arm caught her, held her for one moment and then gently brushed her away. Suddenly glad light a light of hope shone in ner eyes. "Your promise," sho exclaimed "yonr promise to me that you woul not imperil your life you surely re member and that promise you wil keep." , , "My promise." b answered; "I do remember, out tbat promise i ?nst break." Like statue carted in marble stood Dora, and in voice of befitting cold ness came Iho words: - "Then Duncan Gray, I lore ycu not . more! I hate CUT' pale, "sorely you ere sot conscious c! Lt.i ... WOll OU In the fame cold, even tones came tbe response: "I retract not ft word." The door opened, letting in a great cloud of mow-, which tbe shrieking wind was driving along in its fury, immediately closed, and Duncan pasted on through the storm, half dazed and unbelieving what had oc curred. The men who bal been ummonel were surprised at his delay, but there was no time to explain. Had there been ft suspicion, however, in any mind of his unwillingness to attend them on their perilous raistioa such thought was instantly dispelled when it was noticed with what energy and daring he threw himself into the work oflauching tbe lifo-raviu boat and the almort superhuman strength with which he handled the cars. One boat load wan brought to ahorc in safety, and it was necessary to re turn for those who still remained aboard "the now fact-sinking ship. They had almost succeeded in launch flig her for tbe second trip, when a tremendous wave swept in, hurling boat aud brave life-savers back on the beach to try all over again. In spite of the thunders of the storm old .Toe swore to himself that he heard a groan from one of his companions with whom he was working so desperately. "Wal, I don't much blame yer lor carin' in," &id be; "it's ft ruighty tongh night." "Bother tbe night," replied Dun can; "I "prainsd my wrist wheu tbnt "last big wave smashed us up po." "Ho, men!" shouted Joe. "Might's well let np Duncan's broke bis arm. linvo to let those other fellows out there go to Davy Jones' locker." "Hold on," fried Duncan, "I have one arm left. Xow then, shove her ! off. And thongh maddened -with pain be was again with them, lighting tbtir way to thoso half-frozen, 1k pairing victims of the wreck. T'acy had Ktx'Uretl the Ut man n'.ul v.-ere again making their way to hhore vlien ono oar suddenly stopped i's brave work and Duncan, unconpcious from paiu, fell, and from hoarso throats came the cry, "Mau overboard!" Tor n seoon.l only did despair pos sess those heroic hearts, then rescued turned rescuer?. Thoso who wsve not too benumbed by their long ex posuro on the doomed vessel gave n hand and after a severe battle with tho waves Duncan' iuauiuiato form was recovered and the ehoro va? gained where the cxhaated cues were soon cared for. Through the blinding storm a little muffled figure crept up to Joe aud in quired in a voice which was half a moan: "Duncan where is he?" "Guess they carried him home," came the thoughtless response, A3 in wonderment he Hashed his lantern in to the face of the inquirer. For nu instant he saw the whito lace with eyes dilated in the agonv of compre hensiou of the dreadful truth, then without a cry, without a souud ehe fell at his feet in the drifted snow. All that night lights burned in or.e cottage home, where leving hands worked unceasingly to restore to con sciousness him who had so nearly lost his own life in eaving the lives of others, and when that long, dark night had vanished and with it the storm, leaving portions of a wreck scattered out on the shining sands, in tho morning gleam as the tide vrent down, the tired eyes elowly opened and a look of recognition came into them, dispelling the terriblo anxiety of those who had through the creep ing hours watched for signs of return ing life and filling with hope the heart of the weary-eyed forlorn little Dora, who dropped by the bedside with a cry of joy. A troubted expression passed over his features, and with an effort he murmured: "My promise I broke my promise can you forgive me?" "Oh, Duncan," she sobbed, "it is I that am to be forgiven."

At the recent meeting of Wisconsin chete makers, Professor L. T. Haecker spoke on the cost of milk and butter products from different breeds. , He pointed out that while the milk product varied a little with breed that more importance wa3 to be attached to the matter of feeding. He concluded from experiment at the Minnesota dairy school that Minne sota, owin ta improper feeding, is losing 100,00;) per anunni that she might make under more scientific method?.

A Kansas City dispatch to the Sioux City Journal says that at lea3t 12,000, 000 cattle are grazing on the ranges in the Southwest, and that recent rams have much improved the pasturage. A recent visitor to the Kimberley mines, in South Africa, says that he saw many American locomotives there, aud also trucks on which loads of rock amounting to about a ton each were hauled. The latter were not of Ameri can manufacture, but the correspon dent thinks that they should have been. An enormous quantity of copper is obtained from its ore by the electroly tic process in this country, but as yet the uao of that means of producing zino is almost unheard of in Ameiica. Patents were taken out at Washing ton a few days ago however, for the electrolytic manufacture of the latter metal. In South Dakota a law was passed two years ago requiring pedlers to take out licenses in the county in uicu tuey did business, and toxay a fee of from 050 to $100. In .the in terest of local dealers who pay taxes, and from whom one can get redress it any fraud has -been perpetrated, the peace officers of the State are now being urged to enforce the law vigor ously.

Very interesting reports are jnade of a series of experiments contacted by Mr. Hopkins, the chemist of the Agricultural Experiment Station at Urbana, Illinois. Mr. Hopkins en deavored to ascertain whether the chemical composition of tho corn kernel can Be modified and improved by intelligent cultivation. The most valuable component parts of the corn kernel are tbe carbohy drates, which are mainly -etarch; protein, or the nifcrogeneous organic matter, which is the chief constituent necessary to the growth and repair of tbe animal body; and fat, which occurs almost exclusively in the germ. If corn is grown for the manu facture of starch, glucose, or alcohol, it should havo the largest possible percentage of carbohydrates. If corn is to be made into flour the more protein it contains the better. If it is to be used for feeding stock an in creased percentage of protein and perhaps of fat is desirable.' The question which Mr. Hopkins studied and which ho claims to have solved satisfactorily is: Can the corn grower, by pursuing similar methods, increase the percentage of starch or of protein in his grain, so as to be able to offer to the distiller or the stock, raiser an article specially fitted for their purposes? If the corn raiser is able to do that he can command a higher price for his product. The glucose manufacturer will pay a little more per bushel for grain which he is satisfied contains n specially high percentage of carbohydrates. After a series of experiments ex tending over three years Mr. Hopkins is convinced that by proper selection of seed steadily Kept np the per centage of ar.y of the component parts of corn can be increased or diminished as may be desired. It ft easy to select by mechanical inspection with either high or low percentage or protein, fat or starch. An intelligent farmer may, therefore, pick out the seed which are richest in that constituent which he desires his corn to contain the most of. Mr) Hopkins has shown by actual experiment that this can be success fully done. He believes that his dis covery will be of great value to farm ers, and it has attracted much atten tion in agricultural journals. Atlanta Journal. from the desirability of having yonr products arrive at shipping point in the be?t possible condition there are many other considerations,' among them the bavins of tim?, anl the wear aud tear on both man and beast, the capacity for carrying Increased loads, etc. General Roy Stone, Director of Ros 1 Enquiry of the Department of Agri culture, says that more activity is ba iug dnplaved in road improvements than has baeu bhowu for years, not only in tbe construction of new roads bat in the general agitation for their construction. "AU the road machine manufacturer?," be says, "are driven with orders, aud the office of road in quiry in overrnu witb applications for advice on road legislature aud assist ance iu road construction." Tbere are nearly forty road con vention to hi heid this fal!: moetlv in he Northwest, while a number of object lesson read) are to be built in the West aud So ith. The v.e of convict labor on roai improvements is spreading rapidly iu the Southern State. Iu one locality near Charlotte, N. C, seven miles of good etoue roads have been built iu this manner. Lvery farmer sho'iid tak an interest in thi movement he, more than Anyone elso, reaps the benefits of good roads. Let us be up and doing.

" I The League of American Wheelmen will make an effort to get all owners of automobiles to become members. The two classes have one common de sire the betterment of the public highways, and as the league has for several years agitated this subject and is acknowledged the leader in the ! good roads movement, it is expected that there will be little trouble in get ling owners of the new vehicles to join in the crusatla for better high ways. Should the league be t.ccess ful in its purpose it will be to the ad vantage of the organization, as well as the automobile owners, as it will bring to its membership au influential class, and one which has as yet taken little interest iu the good roads movement. 1'hat the automobile rider will have to take a hand in the agitation cannot bo disputed, for under present caaiditions tbere are comparatively few reads iu tnia country suitable for either class of vehicles, and the automobile own ers must have good highways as well as the wheel owners. To secure these they can do no better than to join forces with the wheelmen, and as the league is desirous of increasing its membership they will be approached with a view to their becoming mem bers and active workers for good roads. dies without any benefit.

The coming of automobiles will un questionably accelerate the impulse given by he bicycle to the making o! good roads. When automobiles are made so cheaply that people must have them jutt as they must have im proved farm machinery, then it may be expected that good roads will come with a rush. They cannot come too soon. It has been demonstrated by statistics that it costs American farmers three times as much to haul a tou as it does the farmers of Europe. But when automobiles on good roads so far reduce the cost of carriage that their u so must be general, !then the conditions of their .use, namely, roads j fit for them to run on, may be ex-1 pected.

It is well known that Charles Dick ens considered "David Copperfield" the best of his novels, but ocoasions when he actually expressed, that opin ion are so rare that it is worth while to recall an inoident which happened while he was in Philadelphia. Mr. Ohapin, father of Dr. John B. Chapin, the well-known expert on insanity, was at that time at the head of the blind asylum here. Raised type for blind reading was just coming into vogue, and, desiring to have one of Dickens's books printed in that way, Mr. Chapin took advantage of an in troduction to the great novelist to ask him which of his works he considered ihe best, and mentioned the reason i wliv V, e w rt f ,1 A tnnn. T : .A I " nntqubu&UUVf till hesitatingly answered, - "David Cop perfield." Philadelphia Record. Shyeat Woman In Kaam. The badge of shyness shonld adorn th9 bosom of Mrs. Sarah leader, o( Emporia. She recently sent $5 in a letter to Governor Stanley, asking him to give it to the Methodist Mis sionary Society; she said she hid never been introduced to the Meth odist minister at Emporia, and con fiSquently couldn't band the money to hiui, At chiton Globe, A Grand Boulevard. Somebody said it would ba a good thiug to have a 10,000,000 toll road run diagonally through Connecticut, from northeast to southwest, and in teresting 6tories dealing with the possibilities of the scheme are afloat. It is argued that with accommodations for wheelmen and other travelers by approved twentieth century means of locomotion, including power for auto mobiles on tap, at convenient inter vale, the enterprise could not fail of success. ; If the road were actually built, it is surmised that Massachu setts would continue it to Boston, forming a grand through route from New York City to Boston. One of tbe State's Beat Hopes. The St. Lonis Bepublio sees in the campaign for road improvement now going on in Missouri one of the best Jiopa of the State and says: "The American farmer is at an ex pense three times greater per mile for ! hauling his produce than the Euro pean farmer. . This is because the service standards abroad are lower and because the roads there are a great deal better. This drain upon the agricultural energies of the country will continue until this annual surface treatment is supplanted by a system of . fundamental and. permanent con struction. .

It almost seems as if it must be an American invention the automatic letter box which is being placed in new apartment houses in ParU, although the French are pluming themselves upon it as a native novelty. In the ves tibule of the house are placed as many of these letter boxes as there are ten ants in the building. In general appear ance there is little difference between the group of boxes and these to be. seen in the vestibule of any flat house in this country. Instead, however, of retaining the letters, cards and so forth until some one descends to get them, the Paris invention promptly delivers its contents to the person for whom they are intended. Thus, when the postman has a letter for Mr. So-and-So he deposits it In the box bearing that gentleman's name. The missive opens a lever at the bottom of the box, wV.ch thereupon moves upward until It comes to Mr. So-and-So's apartment There, by an ingenious' mechanism, the eon tents of the box are emptied into a re ceptacle in the hall of the apartment. and a bell is rung automatically to no tify the servants that a letter has ar rived. Its duty done the box descends again to take its place with those of the other tenants in the vestibule. And not a letter alone, but even a visiting card dropped into the box will apeeS it on its upward errand, so light is the weight required to operate the xnech anlsm. eeeoeeoeoeosQeoso 1 ASK EVERYBODY TO SAVE THEIR Tltl TAGS FOR YOU.
