THE DIVORCE They have been "divorced" that baadsome, aristocratic looking couple! divorced for two years, after ten years of happiness within their beau tiful and luxurious home. And now, for the first time wnce the words had been pronounced that made them two instead of one, they met once more, by mutual consent and appointment. In one of the private drawing rooms of the great St. Nicholas Hotel. For no Interchange of forgiveness, with no purpose of reconciliation, had. they made this tryst. It was to be their last meeting on earth. Each fully under stood this. Bach was willing that It should be so. And the meeting was one of the strictest business character. Certain legal papers were to be pre sented by the former husband, and signed and acknowledged by her who had once been his wife. This accom plished, they were free to go their ser- eral ways, never to look upon each other's faces more. Tho man was the first to arrive at the place of meeting, and the waiter, who, of course, knew nothing of his business, escorted him civilly to the blue drawing room and left him there. The gentleman started, and bit his lip. He was a tall, handsome man, ap parently nearly fifty years of age, with a magnificent head and brow, fair com plexion, and serious, resolute blue eyes, This man could love as few love. Tears before he bad flung his pride and his heart together at the feet of the beautiful and graceful woman whom he called his wife. For a time their home was a paradise. But the serpent entered at last, as he always contrives to enter an Eden. A woman, who was a distant relative of the hus band, dwelt near the happy pair. His face won her from her allegiance to her own husband. But when she would have transferred that allegiance to him, he repulsed It, which she never forgot or forgave. Finding It utterly Impossible to make any Impression on the heart so truly devoted to his wire. the woman took advantage of his ab sence from home, and while he was doing the work of his country in the halls of Congress, the slighted beauty, by false representations and forged let ters, succeeded In convincing tha proud and Jealous wife that she had been sc cretly wronged by the husband whom she Idolized for years. When the Senator returned at last from Washington It was to a silent and deserted home, so cunningly had his enemy laid the plot and he was power less In ber hands, since his wife reso lutely refused to see, to listen to, or forgive hftn. And now, after a lapse of two long years, that had been to him a century of passionate remorse and longing, the husband and wife were to meet, for a few brief moments only, on a matter of business and leave each other as stran gers. This man had loved his wife, dear reader, as few women are happy and In htsvery soul hungered and thirsted for her affection in return.' And yet, as he stood there, with his heart torn by a thousand conflicting emotions of passion and of pain, he seemed a stern, reserved and silent roata only. There was a rustle of sweeping silk lnthe hall a few words spoken out side in a low, sweet voice, whose well rcmetnbered tones male his blood leap wildly through his veins, though he was pale and silent still. The obsequious waiter opened the doOr, and closed it aain on the woman who entered. The husband and wife were alone. HI eyes were fixed upon hers with a wild, imploring glance, which she did not see. Pale and agitated, she stood in silence, one white and slender hand resting, as if for support, on the back of a velvet chair, the other on which shone the plain gold ring he had given her twelve years bofore-played ner vously with a slender chain that encir cled her neck. She was, by many years, his Junior. The cheeks and lips were touched with a rosy bloom. Those rosy lips closed almost as firmly as his own, and the chin rounded, yet sllghily prominent, gave a look of unusual de termination to the otherwise youthful and ounny face. tils wire? No! The law had come belween them, and snatched away for evftr all the dear delights that once iw.Te his. His wife would have met him, arter this long separation, with a kiss and Villi tears of Joy. Rut this stately woman was "Mrs. Jofnynghara." He had no right to take hfif hand, or clasp her in his arms. He mU.st still the bentlng of his heart, and addrens her as he might address the vttleot stranger. it was a terrible effort. But he made it rafwely. Kie looked up with a start of sur- pi'rt'e, rs his cold and measured tones fei.ou her ear. She turned pale as she met his eyes: and then the color nmhPd back to her face In an over whelming tide of crimson. She took the fhalr he brought hef, without a word, and leaned her head upon her hand for a few Moments. Presently she looked up. iter eyps avoided his.

He looked on the while, think ing of other days, when, in ineir owu happy home, he had often watched her, proudly and fondly, as ahe signed an other name. Throwing down the pen as the last letter was formed, she rose from her seat. He rose also. v "Good-by, Madam!" he said, in a broken voice. And again the dark blue eyes were bent upon her down cast face with that passionate, despair ing look. His breast heaved convulsively once or twice. She put her white hand sud Cenly up to her throat, as if something had stopped her breath. Her hand met the golden chain. The next moment the chain was torn from her neck, revealing a beautifully executed miniature, set closely In a border of forget-me-nots, formed with rare skill from clusters of gems.

Icing Vegetable! for Shipment. "One of the most remarkable new departures in the freight business," said Mr. Omar H. Bartlett, general agent of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad. "Is the idea of icing vege tables for shipping long distances. It has been tried spasmodically in other years, but never until this year was the plan carried out to any extent. Now the New Orleans shippers are Ic ing their vegetables right along. We have already this season hauled twenty-five cars to New York city alone that contained Iced vegetables, and the shipments to Boston, Buffalo, Pitts burg, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and in fact all the Northern cities, have fol lowed out this new' idea. You know the shipments of cucumbers, cabbages, beans and all kinds of garden stuff have grown very rapidly in the past few years, and now the producers have found it necessary to ice them.

PACTS ABOUT BIQHWAXS. Judicial Expresjlon That Will Correct Many Mistaken Notioni. One of the mistaken notions of a majority of persons is that certain things belong to the public, such as the fruit ol trees by the roadside and berries on bushes not closed by fences. There is also but a vague idea of what the rights of the public are as to the occupancy of streets or roads. In a case before the Butler Court Judge Greer's charge to the Jury con tains some information which makes interesting reading. 1 he case before his Honor was the obstruction of public roads and streets. The Defendant was indicted for maintaining a nuisance by the obstruc tion of a public road, a part of which he used for the purpose of hewing timbers. Council for the defense argued that so long as there was room left for a team to pass, the use of a I ortion of the highway by an unauthor ized person for his own private pur pose, did not amount to a nuisance. The Court ruled otherwise. His Honor in his charge to the Jury, said the public have the right to free and unobstructed passage over the road, and if impeded the township is liable f jr any damage that may result. For all other purposes the land to the middle of the road belongs to the owners of abutting property on each side. No other person can lawfully use this for his own purposes or ap propriate to his own use any grass, fruit or other crop that grows thereon. But in case of accident, as the break ing of a wagon, a man may pile his load by the wayside and leave it there for a reasonable time, until he can remove it. Incidentally, his Honor referred to the use and obstruction of streets in town, by fakirs, venders of medicines or other goods. The rights of the property owners, he said are the same in towns as in the country. The public have a right to free passage, but the title of the owner of abutting property extends to the middle of the road. A license from the Burgess or Town Council to occupy this property for business purposes, is of no legal effect and any person so occupying it may be arrest ed and indicted for trespass or nui sance. His license will afford him no protection against prosecution and punishment for such unlawful act, A property owner has not only the right of possession in his land, but of the public to his premisee. Corner lots are the most valuable for business purposes, because they give the pub he better access, and the owner of such lots owns a larger extent of street line, to the full benefit of which he is entitled, and of which he may not lawfully be dispossessed by in truders.
