Ayor's Pills
Meg rushod out of tho hateful abode
which had boon hor only homo, out
into tho windy autumu evening, and
run for tho river, stopping onco or
twlco to listen for sounds of pursuit;
but sho hoard only tho moaning of the,
galo and tho wash of wavoa upon tho
banks bolow,
In a few moments sho reached tho
river, and loosed a small boat from its
moorings.
Dragging it to tho water, and. wading
in knoe-deop, aho sernmblod aboard
and begun to pull with long, steady
strokes down tho stream.
Tho waves were wild, but wind and
tido both being in hor favor, sho made
good headway, heodloss of her dripping
skirts and uneovorod head with tho
black tressos blown all about it.
Two hours lator, weariod by her ex
ortions, sho "saw a great brig bearing
down toward hor.
Fortunately at this moment tho
moon rodo clear from the cloud wrack
and shono full upon tho boat.
Sho shouted wltD nor strong,, young
voico, and waved hor hands wildly in
tho air.
Then n.s tho vessel swept closer a
rope was thrown to hor, tho boat drawn
alongsldo tho brig and sho was soon on
deck, uncomfortably conscious of the
curious group of men who stared at
their u,noxpectod visitor.
"Who aro you what brought you on
tho livor so late?" queried the captain,
Tho girl hesitated and looked about
hor.
A littlq apart from tho group of
sailors stood a young man Vhom sho
rightly guessod to bo a passenger.
Hor great, wild oyos appealed to him
Stopping forward ho spoko gontly
and gravely.
"Do not fear, child. Toll us whoro
you belong and why you aro here,"
"I am froni up.rivor," sho replied.
"I havo no home. At tlto place whoro I
lived tho pcoplo woro wicked and cruel,
1 was in rear or my llfo and ran away,
I want to go to somo city nnd got
work."
"What is your namof"
"Margaret Meg,"
"Hayo you no other?"
Sho looked at him slyly forau instant
and thou added:
"Stoolo."
Ho did not show his suspicion that
this was but an assumed name.
Hor youth (sho seemed about sixteen)
and hor f riondlossnoss appealed strong
ly to tho tendor sldo of Uichard Win
throp's nature.
When ho went ashore at P ho
took tho girl with him, and was driven
in a carriage to his mother's homo,
fluo old place on tho outskirts of
the city.
Mrs. Wlnthrop took Meg in rather
doubtfully, and gavo her somo light
duties to perform about the house.
As tho days wont by Meg showed
such aptitude, such intolligenco, that
the eldor lady bocamo greatly attached
to hor, and finally proposed to Itlchard
that sho should bo oducatod and
brought up lileo a daughtor Q.f the
ho uso,
To this Richard heartily agreed.
As for Margarot, sho was not wholly
happy.
A dark secret lay heavy at her heart,
which sho know should bo revealed un
less sho choso to oxilo horsolf from tho
Uquso of her bonotaotors,
Uut sho had grown to love them
dooply,
Kite recalled lior old llfo with a
shudder.
Could she not atouo by doing her

to tho two noble hearts who hd taken
hor into their hppy homo? '
go she hushed the tiny jicousing
voioe within her.
She was sent to school, and in throe
yoara returned a beautiful, refined and
intellectual wman, to whom Uichard
Wlnthrop lost his heart.
Sho orled like a child whou lie. told
her of his lave.
"What am I tUnt 1 should be blessed?"
she said.
Put her lovor laughed in tender
' soom at hor tears, and took hor to his
Imothor for tho bloealng, whloh
! freely given. '
For a time life went on like a hnppy
, dronm. ,
Margaret had been wedded to
Richard. Wlnthrop threo months.
! They livod still at tho old homo.
! Ono day sho and Rlohard wore sitting
in the library, tho long windows which
swung outward upon tho varauda.
It wns Juno, nnd tho npartmont was
scented with tho fragrnnco ofrosos
from the garden.
Mog wbb busy with somo light nocdlo-
work, whon sho bocamo conscious of a
shadow across hor lap.
Sho looked up.
There at ono of tho windows stood a
lithe, slender, dark-oyod, ovil-browod
mail watching hor with a snoorino
smilo.
With a wild scream sho sprunir into
the furthest corrior of tho room, nnd
stood there trembling in ovory limb
"and staring at him with distended
oyos.
"So I havo found you at last, my
llttlo demon," tho man said, us ho
stoppod through tho window.
"What do you mean, you insolont
senmpf shoutod Richard, dolaying his
progress by a heavy hand upon his
dhouldor. "Got out of my housot"
"Softly, my flno gentleman," returned
tho other dollantly. My wifo must go
with mo."
"Your wife?"
The stranger noddoti grimly and
polntsd Margarot.
"Yes, my wife, Meg."
And ho stood with clinched lists, de
vouring hor with his oyos.
How palo sho was!
How sweot and womanly I
And tho baby
Ho looked at it doubtfully as it slept,
with ono fat littlo- thumb thrust con
tontodly Into its mouth.
"Ho Is yours, Richard," sho said,
softly, yot with some approhonsion.
"Havo you como to tako him from
mo?"
"Mlnoi" oxolnimod Richard, liko ono
in a dream.
"Yes, do you not seo that ho has tho
Wlnthrop features? And soo "
Sho drew tho man's hand down bo
sldo tho baby's.
On oaoh wrist was a tiny rod birth
mark, in shapo of a cross.
"Ho is throe months old. Is ho not a
splendid boy, Richard?"
Richard knelt by the crttdlo, ills
omotiou too groat for words.
Meg wont on gontly:
"And, best of all, thoro is no shadow
on his birth, for I was truly your wifo.
That man, Darke, trlod to forco mo to

"It Is true, Richard what ho says.

thought he was dead!"
With that sho broko Wut into wild
and pitiful weeping.
Tho man sworo a groat oath.
"Yos, sho thought sho had klllod mo

Meg driod hor tears and turned a
haggard face toward Richard, who had
fallen Into a chair and sat. with his
head in his hands.
'Try to forgivo mo," sho said, broken

you woro so heavonly kind.

"Shut up, Megl" snarled tho man,
grasping hor by tho nrm,
Sho turned upon him with a sort of
fury in her oyos. and ho shrunk back
half in fear of her.
"Bocauso I rofusod," sho went on
again, addressing herself to Richard,
"this man, my. husband, camo at mo

Richard; -you will not tako him from

But Richard was upon his foot, aud
his arms woro about hor.
"I shall tako him homo at onco, Meg,"
ho said. "I shall tako my llttlo son and

Sho shrunk away.
Oh, no, Richard. I havo tv ranged

August.
On Saturday wo ontorod the last
mouth of summer, August, which in
tho old Roman calendar was callod
Soxtillis, or tho sixth month of tho
year, which began with March. Julius
Cassar mado It thirty days in longth,
and Emperor Augustus, whon ho con
ferred on it his own name, took a day
from February and added it to August,
giving tho month 31 days, in ordor that
it might not havo fowordays than July,
named in honor of his illustrious pro
decossor. It is usually a very hot
month. Tho mythological representa
tion of August is that of a naked man,
with ragged, streaming hair, holding
up to his mouth with both hands a
drinking horn, wlulo at his sldo aro a
bundlo of peacock's feathers, a heap of
melons, and a large drinking vossol.

"Good-by, Richard," sho

Sho was gono.
Richard started up and rushod wildly
aftor her, calling hor name, but sho
only turned at tho gate and waved him
back, and thon went on down the road

swaggoring, ovil flguro beside hor.
A year later Richard was riding
through a llttlo country hamlot lu an

Ho looked old and haggard.
His sorrow still lay hoay at-his

Suddenly from the open drjar of a

His hoart was In his mouth. Surely

He turned his horse and drove cIom

flowers appear with tolerablo regularity
so much so that floral calenders havo
boou based on the fact, and various
flowers havo been dedicated to saints'
and church festival days bocauso of
blooming at special fixed times. Tho
snowdrop for instance, is know in
Catholic countries as "Purification
flower," from its blooming on tho fourth
of February, the festival of tho Purifi
cation. Our St. John's-wort is so named
from its first opening on St. John's
day; and so of othor flowers. In our
climate, howover, phrenology will not

WHY CAN'T A WOMAN HE A MASON.
At n Masoulo celebration In Austin,
Nov., yoars ago, General, (thon Major)
Sliorman doll vorod tho address, abo'un
lug in wit and humor, clustering around
eloquent gems of Masonlo tradition.
As a specimen of tho same the Rovelllo
gavo tho following extracts as a solu
tion to tho abovo query:
Women soniotimos complain that
tnoy aro not porjrlttod to enter our
lodgo and work with tho Craft In tholr
labors and loam all thero Is tohe lorsq
od In the Institution. Wo loarn that
beforo tho Almighty finished his work
ho was in somo doubt nbout creating
Eve. Tho creation of ovory liylng thing
had been accomplished and tho Al
mighty had mado Adam (who was tho
first Mason) and croated him for the
lodgo in tho world, and it was Paradlso
No. 1. Ho thon causod all tho beasts
of tho Hold and fowls of tho air to pass
boforo Adam for him to namo them,
which was n pioco of work he had to do
alono, so that no confusion might
thcroforo ariso whon Evo was created,
whom ho know would mako troublo If
sho was ullowod to participate in it, If
ho created hor boforehand. Adam bo
Ing vory much fatlguod with tho labors
of his first task foil asleop, and when
ho awoko he found Evo In tho lodge
with him.
Adam, being sonior warden, placod
Evo as tho pillar of beauty in tho South
and thoy received their instructions
from tho Grand Master lu tho East,
which when finished, she immediately
callod tho craft to refreshments. In
stead of uttonding to tho offlco as sho
ought, sho loft her station, violated hor
obligations, let In an expelled Mason
who had no business thore, and went
around with him, leaving Adam to look
after tho jewels. Tho follow had boon
expollod from tho lodgo with several
others sometlmo beforo, and hearing
tho footsteps of tho Grand Master, ho
suddenly took his loavo,; tolling Evo to
go making aprons, as sho and Adam
wors not in proper regalia. Sho went
and told Adam, and whon tho Grand
Master roturnod to tho lodgo ho found
his gavel had been stolon, and ho call
od for tho senior and and junior war
dons, who had neglected to guard tho
door, and found them absent. After
searching for somo tlmo ho came to
whoro thoy woro hid, and demanded of
Adam what ho was doing there instead
of occupying his official position.
Adam roplied that ho was waiting for
Kvo to call tho craft together again,
and that they wero not properly cloth
ed, whlcn they woro making provisions
for.
Turning to Evo ho asked her what
sho had to. offer in oxcuso for the un
official and unmasonllko conduct. She
replied that a follow, passing himself
off as a grand locturor, had been giving
hor instructions and sho thought it n
harm. Tho Grand Master than asked
hor what had become of his gavel. She
said sho didn't know unless tho fellow
had taken It away. Finding that Evo
was no longer trustworthy, that she
had caused Adam to neglect his. duty,
and had lot ono In whom He expelled,
tho Grand Master closed the lodge and
turned them out, sot a faithful Trior
to watch the door with flaming sword.
Adam, repenting of his folly, went to
work liko a man and a good Mason In
in order to got reinstated again. Not
so with Evo. Sho got angry about it
and commenced raising Caiu. Adam,
on account of his reformation, was per
mitted to oStabltsh lodgos and work In
tho degroos, and whllo Eve was allowed
to join him in acts of charity outsido
sho was never again admitted to assist
in tho rogulur 1 odgo work of tho craft.

PANAMA HATS.
Panama hats tiro so uumed from tho
circumstance of their being shipped
from tho port of Panama. They aro
manufactured in Ecuador and tho
neighboring states. The material used
Is tho fibre of tho loaf of the sorow pine,
which Is related to tho palms. It grows
only on tho slope of tho Andes. The
tree is described as having no trunk.
Tho loaves aro on slender stoms that
spring from tho ground. They are
about two toot long, fan-shaped, and
four-parted. Each of tho segments is
ton-cleft, so that whonjthe leaf Is fold
ed, as lu tho bud, thoro aro eighty lay
's.
Tho libers of those leaves are finely
plaitod, aud each hat consists of a
single picco of work. Tho plaiting of
tho hats is a slow and tiresome process.
Coarse hats may bo finished in two or
threo days, but the flno ones tako
as many months. Tho work Is begun
at tho cjowu and flulshod at the brim.
Tho hat is mado on a block, which Is
placed on .tho knees, and has to be con
stantly pressed with tho breast.
About two hundred dozen of these
hats aro mado every yoar. The price
varies according to the firmness of tho
material and tho quality of tho work.
Thoy aro valued at from five to one
hundred dollars.
Panama hats aro much prized for
wear In the tropic, because of their
lightnoes aud flexibility. They may
bo rolled up and put In to the pocket
without Injury, lu tho rainy season
they aro apt to got black, but by wash
ing them with soap aud wa)or, treating
them with lime juico, or any similar
add, and oxposiag them to the sun,
their whiteness Is oaslly restored.
In Australia thore is manufactured
a hat whloh Is said to resemble the
Panama hat vory closely. It Is made
from tho unexpaudod leaves of a native
plant, whloh aro Immersed in boiling
water and than driod. Tho fibre ob
tained by this treatment is plaited as
In South America.
Under the namo of "Chattahs," n
kind of umbrella hat, or sunshine, U
made In India of the leave of a palm,
or of the ploiiitaln leaf. Chattahs are
worn by the plowmen, oowkeepers and.
coolies of lieugul and Assam.
