When Ilodncv Craig came home
from the army with an honorable
record and an empty t-ivev people
wondered if Iluth Gorrish woulil
tijarry him. A tnaii with one arm
gone, and that his right one, they
argued, was only part of a man, and
Ruth vv.. a girl who could have hr
clioice among the luunt eligible
young men ot her set. &he had had
iticis enough to uitike her tfctt envy
ol hes krtuiiiite girl, or girl wlu
considered il loruinate to have nflWrs
of niarriatf. and she had refused
tlieiu all till Kodney Craig came.
1'hen she accepted the proposal he
made because bhu loed hiu. But,
when he aked tier hand in marriage,
he had breu a man with two strong
hands. Niw he had come home
with hut one. Therefore some peo
ple wondered what she would do.
but some, who knew Kuth best,
never doubted the course she would
pursue for a moment.
"It would be just like her to marry
him,"' said tioe who looked on such
matter from what they considered a
common sense stand point. "She's
fuch a queer girl."
"Of coure the will marry him,"'
said her most intimate friends. ''The
lots f his arm will not kep her
from doing as she has promised, for
sfre loves him."
One dav shortly after his return,
Rodney Craig came to hr, and as he
I stood before hr with his empty
! sleeve folded across his breast, he
!said :
"When I won your promise to he
my wife, Ruth, I was a strong, two
antifrd man. I felt equal to a giant'

gravely into his face.
"Do you love me, Rodney?"'

jshow him how much she could
do
i with love as an incentive.
One day a letter .came to Ruth
frem her Aunt Martha.
Miss Fielding lived in a little vil-
jlage up among the Berkshire hilla.
All that Kuth could remember about
her was that ehe had always made
her think of same of the old moun
tains to be seen from the windows of
her New England home, because he
seemed as steadfast and unchangea
ble as they did. There had
been
some lamily trouble. hat it waa
Ruth did "not know. But Aunt
Martha, who had some of the Puritan
stubborness in her make-up, backed
up by the Fielding pride, had very
little to do with her relatives. There
fore it was not at all to he wondered
at that Ruth and her mother were
surprised when Aunt Martha's letter
came.
"I want you to come ub and see
me," she wrote. "Come and stay at
least a month. That is, if you can
stand it thnt long, with a lonely old
woman in a lonely old house. I
will try to make it pleasant, but I
suppose I have forgotten how to do
it. I shall expect you, so do not
disappoint me. Come a3 soon as
you can. and don't waste any time
! in getting ready. We don't care for
style here, and hne clothea wwulu be
wasted."
"I wonder if she thinks I have
such things," laughed Ruth. "Her
i advice is wasted, so far as that goes.
Shall I go, mother? '
"Yes, I think you had better," an
swered Mrs. Gerrish. "She must be
very lonely. Poor womam ! She's
had a great deal of trouble, and a
giod deal of it she made for herself,
but I suppose she could not help it;
it was the natural result ot her pecu
liar disposition."
"I can't see what she wants me to
i cmr.e lor, said nuth. l haven t
I seen Iter since I was a little bit of a
girl. I wonder she didn't send for
.one of Aunt Lucy's daughters. Thev
visited her last summer, you know."
"She's got some plan in her head,
I'm sure," said Mrs. Gerrish. "She
t, , i t ; r
always has. wm n sne invites any 01
her rf.Jativ to visit her. She did
i.ot invite Lucy's girls, and I pre
sume she was offended at thfir com-
intr without beinc asked. But since
she has seen fit to ask you, I think
you had letter go, and do all you
c.itt to make it pieasant for her. I
used to like her, but I always felt
afraid of her, and I'm rather glad
she didn't include me in her invita
tion." So Ruth went to Aunt Martha's,
and was welcomed in that lady's
grim fashion. Her kias made Ruth
think of one of the old mountains
departing from its usual dignity and
saluting one of the little hills.
"I arn glad yau thought it worth
' while to humor an old woman'
whim," said Aunt Martha. "I could
have hud any one, er all of Lncy's
eirls. if I had wanted them, but I
didn't. They were too good last
summer. To my face, that is. I
knew they called me a horrid old
thing behind my back. But you
aren't like them, Im sure. Your
mother and Lucy never seemed to
be sisters. Lucy always seems to
be making a kind of calculation,
whenTr I see her, of how many
yars I'm good for yet. I don't
know" with a chuckle "as it will
make much difference with her
whether I live one year or fifty. I
don't know but your mother thinks
juet as much ahsut what may come
of my dy u,2 as Lucy ds, but she
don't show it as much if she do3."
"My toother, I am sure, does nt
expect to be benfittd in any way
by your death," answered Ruth,
proudly. "You do her an injustice,
if you think otherwise."
"Very likely," answered Aunt
Martha, and then the conversation
was diverted iuto another channel.
Ruth was not long in finding out
why Aunt Martha had invited her to
visit her. One of her nephews was
coming to visit her; her favorite
nephew, to whom she intended to
j leave the greater share of her prop
erty, and she had planned that he
should marry Ruth.
"I always liked you." she said, in
one of her confidential moo Is. "I've
nut seen much of you since you
were a little girl, but I ve heard of
you. l ou ve been good to your
mother. Lucy's girls were willing
their mother should slave herself to
death to net them finery and folder
ols. If they could dress well that's
all they cared about. I know all
about vou. and know you're a good
, abot
jgirl,
and, I hope, a sensible one.
John will like you, 1 m sure.
j Ruth dreaded to tell her aunt the
uum, u. r..c u .-u ou-m. iV
do so at once. It was better to be
frank.
"Aunt Martha, she said, with a
little frightened catch of her breath,
for she was afraid the old lady
would be terribly offended at the
failure of her plans. "I'm engaged
to be married."
Then thw worst being over, she
went on to tell her aunt all about it,
and succeeded in making her lover
into a great hero, in her own estima
tion, if not in Aunt Martha's.
"So you are going to marry a man
with one arm, and as poor as pover
ty ?" said the old lady, grimly.
"Yes. if nothing happecs to pre
vent it," answered Roth, bravely.
"We love each other, and will get
along some way. Love s better than

all the weaitn in me worm, i inmK,
and so does Rodney "
"Humph ! "said AuntMartha, and
there the conversation ended.
John came. He and Ruth were
good friends at once. AuntMartha
was pleased to see it, and beped her
plan might yet be made to work.
"She waited for two or threo
weeks before telling John what
she
had set her heart upon. He heard
I her through in silence, and she felt
sure there would be no opposition
- as far as he was concerned.
,
i l hen she went to nutn again.
j But Ruth was inflexible in her
-determination to be true to her

j he told her what Aunt Martha had
i slid in th- morning, and thev had a

plans
"I didn't tell her that I was en
gaged lo be married," said John.
"But I am. I don't mind telling
you. Ruth, and I'll show you my
girl's picture."
And Ruth repaid his confidence
by telling him about Rodney.
"I declare, it's almost too bad to
disappoint her so, after all," he said
laughingly. "But I don t feel quite
willing to give tip my own plans for
hers, and I see you don'L I'm afraid
she'll be disappointed, but I don't
see how we can be blamed."
We ought not to," said Ruth. "I
like you well, but I like Rodney
better in a ditlerent way, you
know, and I rather think I will run
the risk of Aunt Marthas displeas
ure and take the consequences, be
they what they may."
Aunt Martha seemed to have sat
isfied herself that there was no use
in trying to do anything more about
carrying out her pet project. She
never mentioned it to Ruth again.
When Ruth went home her aunt
kissed her after the same crim fash
ion of her welcome, and told her she
should expect to see her again next
summer, if nothing happened.
Something did happen, something
that will happen to all of us, sooner
or later.
Aunt Martha had not expected to
go so soon, and none of her relatives
had thought of her dying for years
to come. But the call came for her
suddenly, and she went away in thej
darkness ot a winter night, tind
there was no coming back from, a
journey like hers.
Kuth and her mother went to the
funeral. They went out of respect
fur the dead, and not because they
expecteil that she had even remem
bered them in her will

the will was read. She had n,nuest -
ed that such of her relatives asat -
tended her funeral should listen to
her last will and testament. '
To her nephew, John Hunt, she,
bequeathed the sum ot thirty thou-!
sand dollars. To her niece, Ruth
Gerrish, she g ive her Bible with all
therein contained. This was the
sum and substance of the document, j
Ruth took her legacy, which .vasi
found in Aunt Martha's room, se-l
curely tied up, with ''Ruth Gerrish
written on it as the will had Stated
and they went back home
Lucy and her daughter were in
dignant and disgusted, and they did
not hesitate to say so, as they left the
quiet little village behind them.
"I wouldn't have touched the old
Bible," said Aunt Lucy to Ruth.
"If she couldn't gite me nothing
better than that I would never have
taken the trouble to bring it away."
"I did not expf ct even that," an
swered Ruth. "Aunt Martha was
under no obligation to remember me
in any way."
"But to think of a woman who
has thirty thousand dollars to give
away, and does not give one cent to
her sisters, whom a small sum would
help a great deal, but gives it all to a
nephew, who really does not need it
It's a shame," declared Luey. "Mar
tha was always bound to be contra
ry, and I believe she hated her own
flesh and blood. I wouldn't be un
christian enough to let an old grudge
keep me from doing my dutv, I
think."
"Martha's money was her own, to
do as she pleased with." said Mrs.
Gerrish. "I'm sure I didn't want
it."
"I wonder who has the home
stead?" asked Lucv, suddenly. "The
.,;,... ,anr,.i -ft ir.h, ;
bonds and notes. Nothing was said
- - - - - -
K,.t IH. nln,, I hadn't thnnVnt
of that before. I'erhaps it was sold
to some one before hr death.
"Quite likely," said Mrs. Gerrish.
That night Rodney Craig came to
see them, and Ruth told him of her
lejacv.
"I have not opened it yet," she
said. "Hold it on your knee, Rod
ney, while I untie the string."
She removed the wrapper, and
Rodney removed the old and time;
stained book. As he turnsJ the
pages something fluttered to the
floor a paper written over in a
quaint, stiff hand, ?s if by one not
much used to handling the pen.
Ruth picket! it up and read :
My Dear Niece Rlth : "I be-
liprp the ttnmiin who is true to the
man chn lov when he U nnor. and
hasn't but one arm. is an honor to;
her sex. If you had been willing to

it is I respect you, and as a token of
my respect. I give you this old Bible,
and all you will find in it, and pray
you will be as happy as you deserve
to be. God bless you and yours is
my earnest wish.
Martha FiELPisr,."
Then, of course Ruth had to ex
r. .
plain to Rodney what the allusion
in the letter meant. How hi eyes
shown when he knew the sacrifice
she had made for his sake. And he
began to say something about it, in
a broken voice.
She etonped him.
"I made no sacrifice at all," she
said. "I didn't do it for vour sake
I did it for love's sake." j
The Bible slipped from his knee
to the floor as he put out his arm to
draw her close to him. As it did so.
some folded papers slipped out from i
between the pages.
He picked them up to replace
them.
"What are they?" asked Ruth.
"Let me look at them."'
She took them, and opened them.
"Oh. mother, Rodney," she cried,
excitedly, "they're deeds !"'
And so they were. The old home
stead and the farm, a mile or two
away from the village, were left "to
my dear niece, Ruth Gerrish." To
avoid all delay and trouble, Aunt
Martha had bad the deeds made out
before ber death. A slip of paper
wrapped about them said that her
lawyer, Mr. Jeffries, could tell Ruth
anything she might want to know
about the property. She could take
possession at any time.
"On. we re rich, cried Ruth, with
shining eyes.
"Dear Annt Martha!

considering the amount of work to

he come up and talk the
over?
Rodney went. So did Ruth.

I have a friend in the clothing

as exhorbitant and sometimes comes
to my ollieeto see about it. He
lives in iipalaiial residence on Eighth

week and handed me his bill I saw
at once that it was an unusually
small one for such an establishment
as he keeps up. Being somewhat
familiar with the arrangements and
number of burners in his house, I
determined upon catching him at!

Heavy Life Insurance.
Mr. Hamilton Pis-ton. the mil
lionaire manufacturer and president
of the Florida Land and Improve
ment Company, is carrying a heav
ier line of life insurance than proba
bly any other man in the I r.ited
States. He has 8-100,000 in force
upon his life in the regular com
panies, while he is good for several
thousand additional in many ruutu-
I al concerns. The only man who is
regarded as his rival m this is ex
Senator George K. Anderson, of
Titusville, this State, who is reported
to have about 8400,000 upon his
life
In explaining how this was done,
Mr. Disston said to a reporter re
cently :

Advantage of the Jersey.
Let the Jerseys increase, because :
1. Jerseys make more butter an
nually compared with the food they
tat than any other breed.
2. Jerseys make better butter than
any other breed better grain and
better flavor.
3. Jersey milk is tke most profit
able, because it contains more but
ter per quart thaa that of any other
breed ; its cream rises quicker, and
its butter comes quicker.
4. Jersey butter brings from two
t ten cents a pound more than any
other, as a rule, throughout the
United States ; hence on ninety
farms out of one hundred, where
butter is a specialty, the introduc
tion of Jersey blood will change but
ter making from a dead loss to a net
proft.
5. Butter farming is more profita
ble and healthful acd refining than
truck farming, beef-farming, poultry
or pig raising.
G. For every cent lost on account
of the Jersey's smaller carcass, there
are two cents gained en account of
ber better butter and larger annual
yield.
Wo want Holsteins and Ayrshires
for the general milk and cheese sup
ply ; we want shorthorns and Here
fords for their beef ; but the coun
try wants the Jersey for their butter.
So let us have an end to tbe opposi
tion which this breed has met with
for forty years. He who specializes
wins. The "general-purpose " cow
is an impossible animal. Let each
farmer decide whether all circum
stances point to a beef, a milk or a
batter breed, and choose his stock
accordingly. Rural .Yetp Yvrker.
A Hard Eog. A commercial
traveler jumped from the train at a
small station and sheuted to the
proprietor of the lunch counter to
give him a hard boiled egg and a
piece of mince pie.
He ate the pie hurriedly, and was
attempting to break the egg when
the conductor gave the signal for
starting.
"What in great Caesar's name is
the matter with this egg?' he yelled,
"Is it rotten asked the proprietor.
"Rotten? no, but I can't make any
impression on it, and here I am, as
hungry as a wolf and the train half
way out of the yard," and be made
a dash for the back platform of the
rear car, whicli he just succeeded in
reaching.
"Well, I'm Mowed," said the pro
prietor of the lunch counter, poking
it with a knife, "If I didn't give the
young man a China nest egg."
