on the plums and to make tlie most of

Such a. plum dropied into the mouth

indeed, s-nap his jaws on it but tiiat

can inclose subject, if enforced, to a
pavmcnt to the lord of the manor, ami
ttw-it-eforth his own in jierpetuity.
Whilst thus, enirafietl Joe. came on a
"barrow" or cairn of small stones. He

Accordingly, Jos went on breukini

Iv he extended his "new take" wall in
the direction of the -airn and stoite
chest t hat contained his treticitire.
On the verge. of the moor, im the con
fines of culture, lived a girl nametl Mary
.irgett, with her bcd.ridde.ii mother.
She made it livelihood tut of plovers'
i.'trs, w hioh she. collected and sold, out
of some poultry she kept, out of Hint
arrow heads, which, by searching, she
found on the moor, aid which she dis
posetl of to an archaeologist. She also
still some needlework and w ent out oliar
rii if.
Jis Kts.sel the cottage twice daily
on his way out and on his way home,
and very frequently he saw Mary at her
door, or she wits searching on the iimmit
near where he worked, and they never
met without exchange of salutations.
On one occasion, when overtaken by a
hailstorm, he had been invited! into Hie
cottare, ami hak 4een given a eup of
tea that warmed his heart a if it had
beeti H-ppt-l iiiiii t, and got into his head
as if it had lieen whisky.
One day when, they met on the moor
the northeast blast was so cutting that
they retired together under shelter of
a rock t: eat together their lunch of
cold pasty. Considering how cold the
v.eatber w as, Jos put his arm round Pol
lv, and, having an overcoat, he threw
citie arm of it over her shoulder.
The ensuing night was one of sore
temptation to Jos. He tossed on his
lied. He could not fdeep. He sallied
very early from his house and went to
the moor, resolved to raise his treasure,
disase of it, .la re fortune and marry.
As he passed the cottage of Mary Ag
gett he did not see her. He was glad of
tlits, lest she should have asked him
whv he went to his work two hours
earlier than usual.
He iiroceeded to- the cairn, remove!
the stones, heaved the covering slab
aside, got into the chest and broughtout
the gold rings and cup. He furbished
tht-ni up, and they sparkled in tlie morn
ing sun.
Whin al! were ranged before him, he
shook his head. "It would be madness
to risk it," said he. "If I mi-rried Tolly,
women be them corkscrews, she'd have
!he whole story out of me, and they be
that chatterboxes, they can't help talk
ing, and she'd blab about it to every one
in the place. Then IM have the crown,
and the duchy, and the lord o the
manor, and the parson and the 143
commoners dow n on me for demanding
their shares. He hanged if I'll rik it.
Women is ler'ble dangerous animals
with their tongues, never to lie trusted."
Then in went all the treasure again
into the eortiti that had contained and
preserved it for t.fliM years.
"I know what I'll do," said Jos. 4T'1I
build my new-take wall right over this
old grave, and then no one can get at
the treasure without pulling down the
wall."
Little did Jos suspect that he was
being watched, and that his every word
was overheard by Tolly herself, who
was behind the rock hard by. w here she
had picked up flint .chips and Hakes.
Slowly, painfully, Jos Day worked at
his wail. He succeeded ill carrying it
over the cairn, and thus he secured his
treasure from lieingdisturlieil. and thtif
was it made fat against the rainy
day.
in the course of the next three months
he had completed the inclosure, and
had taken from the oommou a tract of
good land of fi ve-and-twenty acres ia
extent.
About this time Mary Aggett's mother
died. Jos pitied her greatly, the cottage
was so lonely for the girl. His heart
prevv soft when he saw her in black.
"lMesfi me!" said he. "U I lived in thai
cottage it would save me half of my
j(.u.rnev every day, but 1 won't risk it."
Shortly after this a great surprise
came to him. One morning he found in
his "new take" a Hock of sheep al!
branded M. A.
"tirmeious bless us!" exclaimed Jcs.
"How ever came the sheep there? I'll
run ask Tolly, she may know. She must
Via' seen some one drive 'em this way."
He went to the cottage and spoke in
heat: "Mary, some owdaeious radicals
have been turning sheep into my new
take during the night- They are
marked M. A."
"They are mine, Jos."
"Yours. Tolly?"
"Yea. It was very kind and consider
ate of you, Jos. to ilielott H muiiy
ucres- for me. I thank you with all my
heart."
"Inclose for youl It is my new
takel"
"There is some misunderstanding,"
answered the girl. "The new take is
certainly mine. 1 have, lieen to the
lord of the manor and have liought it
25 acres at much gold jer acre. I
have the papers all drawn out."
"Yours! Where did you get the
money ?"
That was a queettou Mary did not an
swer. After much consideration Jos aid,
falteringly: "This is a pretty go! How
am 1 to le jiaid for the walling?"
"I'm sure 1 can't think, Jos."
"Hut it has engaged me off and on for
is months. Fifty pounds wouldn't re
pay my latior. I can't afford "
"I really am sorry for you."
"There is only one w ay out of it," ex
claimed Jos, "that 1 can see; and that
is by changing the brand on the sheep
fiom A to I. and by lumping together
my wall antl jour land."
"Well, Tin not particular," answered
Mary, and o the matter was set tied.
They were married, and Jos found
that he had secured not nlj-avery cap
ital bit of land, but with it a very
thrifty, witty and wise wife.
At tht close of the first twelvemonth
there were tltiee in the hosise in the
place of two. At the end of the second
yar the nunilier liad mounted to five,
for the second addition to the family
con.si.swtl in twins.
Hut the conscience, of Jos was uu
evisy. Something stood between himand
Tolly. He had a secret from her, and
1 hat is ever a barrier to connubial unity.
Christmas wa approaching. Jos re
solved to make a clean breast of it and
tell Mary everything.
Christmas day arrived and Joe put on
his Sunday coat and flowered his "wes
K it, took his lever and went forth.
"Tolly," said he, "come along. I've a
surprise for you." Hedelilierately threw
down a portion of his new-take wail,
discovered the lid of the stone chest,
hvered it aside, and then jumped into
the box. Next moment he .rose out of
it blank with despair, trembling with
disappointment. His treasure was
gene.
Hy the side of the cairn and over
thrown wall stood his wife watching
him, w it h a smile on her cherry lips aud
a twinkle in her bright eyes. A toddling
child clung to her skirts as she held one
of tike tw itus in each arm.
"Toll!" he gasiied, "I'm a ruined man.
I've lost everything. I've been robbed."
Then she laughed aud when she
laughed the child holding her ekirt
lauglied also and the babes in her arms
chuck let! und crowed.
"No, Jos Rainy Day," she said, "you
have lost nothing, you have gained
much. I found jour treasure, and Idis
ased of it to the antiquarian gentle
man who buys the arrow heads. With
the money I liought the land, the sheep,
the cows anil yoni."
Then Jos scrambled out of the grave,
and fell a laughing, and be laughed till
the tears ran down his cheeks.
"T.y ginger!" said he; "woman's wit
outweighs man's wisdom. My true
trcaxsure.-t rove is here" he ekiipped bis
wife on the shoulder "and it's one

Every year seems to make it more
probable that the close of the nine

the history of the world. The thoughts
of the nations have for some time now
In-en tuinid to the subject of war, ami,
incredible though it may seem, in the
event of a general call to arms, nearly
4il.oo(i,uol men could le placed in the

According to the Ixin.b.n Daily Mail's
estimate, the I nited States can call
upon a gi eater number of tiained sol
diers than any other country in the

1 umbers only -7,Oi men each state ha-:
to support its ow u militia, and, should
it become necessary as a last resource,
upward of ?,5on,0ou nu n could assist in
maintaining the independence of the
states.
To defend the coast there would be a
l.avy of some Til ships, with hi.tiiHl men.
Of the European armies the biggest is
that of France. The number of uit-u in

The tcnitoriid army is 'jimi.um

THE DEAF GIRL UNDERSTOOD.
aoau( Mam'. Tender Remark, to Ilia

It doesn't always pay to express your
inmost thought even guaide.Rv iu the
presence of deaf mutes, says the Roston
Record. A story wastoldat 1 he meet ing
of the Woman Suffrage ass.n-iat ion t he
other afternoon which showed conclu
sively the wisdom of the alne remark.
A devoted couple w ho. apparently,
had lieen long separated wt re thrust
smbleiily into each ot her's t om pa n v at
a lai gcl v -attended reccpt i.. ti. i hc lad v
who told the story said that she was
present iu c. in (villi V with a'l educated
leaf girl. T he happy reunited pair dis
played fully the thoughts that were in
their hearts by tlie beam upon their
eolilitellaiic-.'s. Suddel.lv the oiitig man
drew near to the tine whom he a.'.. Ted
and said, in a low tone, inaudible to
those about him. a few seemingly af
f. ctionate Words.
The deaf gill watched the pr.w-ec.liijgs
with intense int. lest and suddenly
broke into a br.tad grin. Her -omaiiioii
inquired what it was that amused h.-r.
She turned alniut so that the couple
could not see her and t.pli.-.l:
"That man said: 'If ail these people
wele not here Ft! hiss veil. If thev doii't
get out of the way pretty stN.i, 1 shall
have to before them. The girl replied:
"Then I shall scream. "
The deaf girl understood their words
by the motion of their lips.
