Hamp was always "pottorinc," she said, in stead of attending to his books. "Why," she said, "he's been fooling with a spring up on the hill baek of the house the whole season through. He's laid pipes to brine; the water down here, and now he's convinced that this attempt to back the wa ter a mile up the stream was the wildest foolishness ; but old liiley and Hamp waited and watched.

He had constructed an ingenious water-wheel with which to make the most of the power afforded by the spring, and had set it at a variety c.f tasks. A stretch"of line shafting passed under the roof of the house, and bands were passed through the floor to the churn and sewine-machine, and even the sausage chopper could be attached at will. "I don't deny that It's handy, and saves work," said his mother. "And now he's made a sort of fan in the dining room, ! and has set that going too, so that it keeps the flies off the table. If I had a baby in the house, I believe he'd make the water rock the cradle. But it's dispourasing about his studies. Mr. Penrnddock is in despair, atid says he don't know what is to bo made of ! the boy." j The summer proved to be a very dry one, and the gardens especially suffered for wa- j ter. When the people began to complain namp had an idea. He always had an idea ! when an emergency arose. lie went into i his mother's garden and worked all day, dig- j j ginc a trencn down the middle, and making j little trenches at right angles to the main j j one, so that each bed was surrounded bv ! i them, and the larger beds crossed as well, j j ne was very careful to keep all these trench- ) es on one level. When he had finished, he j laid a drain fiointlie water-wheel te the mun trench, so that the waste water, after turn- ' ing the wheel, was carried into the garden place just above the quarry, and it can't back any further up." The two waited and watched. Midnight came, and the measurement showed three feet six inches depth at the dam. Still they waited and watched. At mjc o'clock in the morning the depth was four feet two inches. Then Riley sent a negro boy to the house with orders to bring back "a big breakfast for two." At seven o'clock the breakfast arrive.!, and the measurement showed four feet three inches and a half. "It's a-risin' faster agin," said Biley. "Yes ; the lc el is climbing straight up the bluff banks now, and not spreading out as it rises," said Hamp. At nine o'clock the depth was four feet eight and a half inches, and the men in the quarry had a raft ready, and were beginning , to load It. Ten o'ciock brought four feet J eleven inches of water, and at noon there ! were five feet and four inches. j "I've missed it a little," taid Hamp. "1 j said the water would tun over the dam by r.oon, and it has sti:l eight inches to rise he- j fore doing that." j "Well, that sort o' a miss don't count," ' said Kiley. "You've, worked the sum up : right anyway, an' the water's deep enough ; for laftin', and stiil a lisiu'. It'll go over ; the dam in two or three hours more, an' I'll : do what I said : "I'll choke any man 'at says 1 that John Hampden See's a duuee or a:iy thinff like it.

Well mry be so ; but arter what I've seed, it 'nd take a smarter schoolmaster than you to make me think so." It was old Kiley Vaughn who spoke, and althoutrh old Kiley had no education, his ' hard sense nd sound judgment were re ' sppptod by all the nien who sat there in the village post-office wai'incr for t lie mail. He had grown prosperous by di-t of liard work ! and ood jndement, and his ni'i'-rh'nirs were ' accustomed to ask for and to respect his opinions. "I did not savprecisely that. Mr. Vauchn," j rer'i''l Ppnruddoek. the s ' hoohnnster. "I only said that my best efforts to educate the j boy were rendered futile and minatory by j reason f his inexplicable inability to crasp i and retail so simnle a thing as the accidence ! of the Iatin verb." i "That means, in plain F.nclisb, that he ain't trot no crip on what you teach him, ) don't it?" asked Kiley. j "Yes, that is what I mean," replied the school-master, with semethinu like a shudder j at old Riley's English. "But I will make an i honorable excep'ion in the matter of mithp 5 mntics. He seems instinctively to grap ar- ithuietical principles." J "Yes," rtrawlfd old Kiley: "one of your ' boys tole me Hamp could figeure out how ! long it 'ud take for a cij-tctn to gpt full ef thpy was Uiree pipes o riiflerent sizes a run nin' into it, an' two other o' still diffcient sizes a-runnin' out." j "Yes, he is expert in the practical applica t tions of arithmetic ; and yet even in arithme- tic his standing is not eood, because he seems incapable of mastering the exact terms of the formula1, and rules." "Well, row, look here," said'old Kiley, ris irgand strikinethe counter with his big fist ; "it jest comes to this hero ; the boy ain't got no crip on vonr words an' thincs ; but he's thousand dollars threatening him. One day Hamp, who knew what trouble Riley was in, went down to the creek, and, cutting several twicrs, began setting them up ! at a distance from each other, and sighting j j from one to the other. The few teamsters . I who were at woifc watched him curiousK-, j 1 but could not make out what he was d'dng. ' . He went up the creek with his sticks, tnov- ; ' ing one at a time, and always caiefnlly siyht- 1 ed frotn one to another, or rather from one ' over another to a third. In this way he : worked up to the quarry, which was imme diately on the creek, nearly n mile above I the point where the bridge was to be built. I When he had done he walked baek, exam- ining the banks as he went : then he pre- ! i sented himself before Kiley Vaughn. j I "ilr. Vaughn," he said, "I've an idea that ! will help you out of your difficulty." 1 "Will it hire teams to haul stone?' asked Kiley. I I "No; but it will enable you to haul stone1 without teams." I "Ifitwill . Well, let mehear'.what it is," j said Kiiey, changing his purpose while speak- ing. j "Kaft the stones down," said Hamp. "Now look a here, Hamp See," said old ' Kiley. "I've stood up for you, an' said you wa'o't no dunce when everybody else j said you was ; but this here looks as ef they ' was right an' I was wrong. How in natur' ! kin I raft stone down a creek that ain't got more'n six inches o' water in it, a-buhhlin' around among the stones of the bottom?'. "Well, you sec," .aid Hamp, "I've level J led up here, from the quarry, and there's I only two feet fall, or a little less, and the i banks ate nowhere less than five feet high ; t and so, as there's a goo.) deal more wa'er ! running down in a day than an) body would ; think, it's my notion to buiiit a temporary dam a permanent institution. I'm a gi.in' ; to build Vaughn's and See's foundry an' ag ricultural implement factory right down the cteek there, an' put a big lot o' improved machinery in it ; and I'm a-goin' to send my pardner, John Hampden See. off next week ' to get, the rest ot Ids edication where they ' sell the edication as is good for him not a ' lot o' words, but principles an' facts. You tell your mother your a-goin to New Yo:k right away, boy, an' 'ut old Ki.ey Vaughn's a goin' to foot ail the bills omen your inter- I est in the comin' factory. You'll study all i sorts o' fmuniu' work an' machine princi- pies in tlie hie School in New York what's called the school o' Mines, an' then you'll go ; to all the big factories an' tilings."" Th-1 scheme was carried out. Hamp spent ' three years in study, and returned an ac complished mechanical engineer. He went into the factory as old Kiley's pardner, and his work has been to improve machinery and processes. The firm own many patents now on things of his Invention, and the factory is the centre of a prosperous region, in which , Mr. Hampden See is a respected citizen. A Celebrated Case with a Moral.

The table was full in j less time than the leader ordinarily occupies ' in unfolding and spreading out his napkin I ar.d business commenced. Side by side sst 1 ! two niodest types of American civilization. ' One was a middle c-d niMi of medium ! j height, a florid complexion, shaeL'y beard, j unkempt hair, untidy clothing and disgust- ', ing linen, with ti c odors and rustic maimers of the rural districts clincltijz to h;m, like lat 1 j year's hair to a colt. At his left 'at a tall, ; I youngish-looking man, encased in a b'ne ' flannel shirt with rollingcollar, hite eordu- ' roy trousers ; a leathern belt around his 1 waist, a slender, wildly beautiful black ! moustache and raven lin ks that curled down l his manly neck and strayed about his expan sive shoulders with all tl.e native carp and . freedom of tlie mines of so'iie Western KI Dorado.

It is now some lour week since the public '. was horrified by a report that Jennie Cra- , mer, a beautiful young cirl, had been found drowned near Savin Hock. Connecticut, un der circumstances which pointed strongly to a case of foul piny, Inquiry elicited the fact 1 1 1 ill the voung girl had been seen in questionable company, a short time previous to her death. It is known that she was inti- i mate with a young woman of bad reputation, and two young men of rich family have been held on suspicion of connection with the . tragedy. The mistress of one of the youths, a women passing under the name uf Blanche Douglass, was arrested, and is said to have made a confession, which, however, so far as it has beeu made public, does r.'A throw 1 much light upon the mystery. According to all the evidence produced, Miss Cramer was one of the thousands of young women in the United Stilted who uie accorded an amount of personal freedom to tally unknown in other countries. She was allowed to choose p.er own companions, ; without asking the sanction of her pal eiits. She spent her time ns she pleased, and had male acquaintances into whose characters and actions no one seems to have made any scrutiny. She enjoyed, in short, what young women of her class call a "good time," and was allowed to "go around'" to her heart's content. She lived in the fool's paradir.e of young : America. In the sail sequel only does her career differ from that of thousands of ' young women like her. Parental restraint ; is practically a dead letter In the fami.y government of this free republic. While this is bad enough In the case of boys, its ' effect upon their sisters is too often fatal. I The ingenuous modesty of maidenhood is I almost unknown, precocious self-possession j replacing it to the destruction of that in i scrutable charm which is the aiory of true I womanhood. Much of this is due to the in- aeeesmries, when the hungry man hesid i him broke loose ag iin. He made a wild break for the mustard, ar.d knocked the stopper of th?1 vinegar cruet into the hash as Iicdid so, then sVivple 1 out a eor.glomer at'ton fre-n thit dish, in thp midst whereof I was the stopper. The miner stopped and looked ne in, tl en resumed his eating silent- : i !y ns before. ; "Pass the butter ?" interrogated tie n;s ; tic, nudiiir.g the silent man in the elbow ar.d causing him to spi'l l-ilf n cup t f coffee iti' his potato. 1 -p miner did as rcqtieted. and then dropped his knife ar.d fork to set . the dish back. The farmer did not know or notice the look of urr.iterablp quet'oning in the eyes of bis servitor, and without los ing a revolution stabbed a twelve ounce sweet, potato lia'f way down the table and j reached across the miner's p:e w"t'i the other j arm toward a plate of bread.
