DAPPLES MISTRESS. "stop, rrr'e We must 'oot to tll'B-" The ne wa a green stretch of suin tuer lawn in front of fine old Virginia larm-bouse; the speaker, a slight, bright faced girl, gracefully mounted on a small gray pony. The t-un was dropping out of mjiht be hind the green bills, and far away down the river bend of the Accoceck came the tramp of retreating troops, ith now and then the muffled roil of a drum or the shrill blare of bogle. Old Virginia, the qoeen mother of the sanny eonth, was overran with soldiers, devastated by fire and sword, shaken to ker very foundations by the thunders of civil war. Col. Moreton was far away from his pleasant borne, in tLe front ranks of death and danger, but Irene, his only child, atill braved the terrors of invasion and remained at the farni-boase w ith ber invalid mother and a few faithful old ser vants. Cantering across the grounds an hour after the retreat of the invading troops, something attracted the young lady's notice prostrate figure under the shade of the great cotton wood tree. "Stop, Dapple! We must look to tbir Dapple stopped, and Miss Irene leaped lightly from her saddle, and throwing the ciiken reins over the pony's neck went tripping across the grounds to the spot where the figure lay. It was a tall, soldierly figure, clad in army blue, with a pale, worn face and an abundance of curling, chestnut hair. Col. Moreton'i daughter looked down upon the senseless soldier with all ber woman's divine compassion stirring with in ber bosom. "Poor fellow," ?he murmured, laying her soft hand upon his brow ; "I wish I could help him." The soft voice and the softer touch called back the veteran's wandering senses. He opened bis eyes and l.wked up in the joung lady's face. Great lu minous, handsome eyes they were, that somehow reminded Irene of her brother Tom's eyes; and Tim was down in the trenches in front of Richmond. The compassion in her heart stirred afresh ; she smoothed back the tangled curls from the soldier's brow. "My poor fellow," she said, "can I do anything for you ?" He strugg'ed up to his elbow with a stifled groan. "My horse threw me," he exphvned, and they left me behind. I think I must have fainted from the pain. I thank you very much, but I don't see bow you can help me. I suppose I must lie here till they take me prisoner, and I'd almost as soon be shot." Irene smiled a smiled that lighted her dark, bright face into positive beauty. "I am in the enemy'6 country," she said, "but if you will trust me I think I can help yon ; at least, I will see that you are refreshed and made comfortable." She put her hand to her bosom, and drawing forth a tiny w histle tbe put it to her lips and blew a sharp little blast. Dapple pricked up his gray ears and came cantering to her side, followed in stantly by a colored man-servant. "You see," smiled Miss Irene, flashing a beaming glance on the soldier, "I hold my reserve forces at a moment's warn ing. Here, James, help this gentleman to the house, and then ride for Dr. v ert er to dress his limb." James obeyed without a word, and by the time the sun was fairly out of sight the Union soldier, refreshed and made comfortable, lay asleep in the best cham ber of the pleasant old southern mansion. Meanwhile on the long veranda Irene kept watch, her slight, willowy figure wrapped in a scarlet mantle, her flossy, raven tresses floating on the winds. By and by, as the midnight stars came out and glittered overhead, above the dreamy flow of the river, above the mur mur and rustle of the forest leaves, arose the clash and clang, the roar and tramp of advancing troops. Irene's dark face flushed and her lus. trous eyes dilated. She crossed the ver anda with a swift step and tapped light ly at the door of her guest's chamber. "They are coming," she whispered ; "they will take you prisoner if you re main. You must go." The soldier started to his feet and made his way out, but he reeled arainst the door-post, faint and gasping for breath. "I can't walk V he cried ; "there's no hope of escape!" But Irene held out her lithe young arm. "Yes, there is," she said, cheefully. "Ian on me. I can help you down, and you 6hall ride Dapple. He knows the river road, and you shall overtake your comrades by dawn. Hurry! there is no time to lose !" The soldier leaned upon the brave, helpful young arm, and succeeded in reaching the lawn below. "Dapple I" the young girl called, in her clear, silver notes, "come here !" In a breath Dapple was at her side. The girl stood and looked at the gentle creature and then threw ber arms around his neck. "Oh, Dapple! pretty Dapple!" she sobbed, "it breaks my heart to part w ith you. Good by, Dapple !" In the next breath she stood erect, her yes flashing through a mist of tears. 'Come, sir," she said, "allow me to help you to amount. Dapple take this gentleman down the river road, and at your utmost speed." Dapple uttered a sagacious whinny, but the soldier hesitated. "Why dont you mount, sir?" cried the g'.rL impatiently. "Will you remain here and ruin both youself and me ?" He vaulted into the saddle without a word. "Away, Dapple, like the wind!" cried Irene, and the little mountain pony shot off like an arrow. The war was over, and ouce more over the blasted and desolate homes of Vir ginia peace and freedom reigned. CapC Rutherford made it hi business to g ) biek ti the 1'atomic hills and to CoL Moreton'i farm house the moment he was discharged from service, but where the stately old homestead stood he found nothing but a mass of ruins and of Dapple'a mistress not the slightest tidings could be obtain. Three years went by, and the ei-cap-Uin found himself the wealthy heir cf an ancle and took himself off on a tour amid the S iss mountain. Dapple went with him, as he always did since that ventful night when the brave little pony liore him aafe!y betund reach of the emy. He liad been the captain's in separable companion in all his wander ing He was with him now. ambling over the green Tyrol vallexs and climb ic the $ wiUer steeps. One September afternoon, when the taptain'a tour was drawing to a clot somewhere ia the vicinity cf Mont Bianc he fell in with a 1 raveling party from Xew Orleans. It consisted of lime Len oir, her k n atd two daughter and a young American lady who was her com- i pani o and inter; reter. Cap. EatheTord found madam a trees he lay amid the lone, rustling grass es listening to rtadam's pretty feminine cbat'er, and in bis turn relating incident and reminiscence of his own w ar exper ience for ber edilication. Among other thing3 he told harof Ipple and of hU midnight ride among the blue hills of old Virginia. Madam was intensely interested. And the gallant little ponycarried you safely through? she cried, with beam ing eyes. "Safely through, madam, with the enemy at my heels," replied the captain. "MiiM Moreton," cried madam, "will you have the kindness to pass the claret cup? And pray, Capt. Rutherford what ever became of Dapple?" The captain raised himself to a sitting posture. "Dapple, Dapple," be called; "come here!" From the forest shadows near at hand a sma!l gray mountain pony came am bling forth. Mme. Lenoir's companion advancing with the claret cup in her slim, white hand, ottered a sharp little cry and wasted all the luscious li-juor on the rustling leaves at her feet "Oh, Dapple ! Dapple ! she cried. Dapple heard the sweet voice and knew it in an instant. He broke into a joyous neigh and shot like an arrow for the young lady's side. She caught hia shaggy head and held it close to her be som, sobbing, like the silly child she was. "Oh, Dapple, my pretty Dapple, have I found vou at last?" Mme. Lenoir, comprehending the de nouement, looked on with glistening eyes. Two weeks later the pleasant party was breaking up. Madam and her par ty were going back to France. "And now, Irene," said the captain, "how is it to be ? Y'ou will not listen to my suit or accept my love? Then you will be forced to part from Dapple again. She is mine by right of possession. I cannot give her up. Come, now, give your final decision are you willing to part from me and Dapple forever. Irene looked up with her old gloryfy- ing smile. "I could bear to part from you," she m wirkod'v. "but never again Irom Dapple, If you take Dapple you will have to teke her mistress, too, apu Rutherford?" And the captain made no objection. A month later saw Dapple'a mistress the captain's wife's.

Butler, who had just arrived home from an evening party at 2 o'clock in the morning, heard a carriage drive np to the house, and a moment later answered a ring at the door bell. A young man of handsome face and energetic manner, blurted out, without ceremony : "What States can cousins legally marry in?" "I don't know," Mid Mr. Bufler, as soon as he could recover from the effects of hi visitors bluntness, "but I will ask father." He went up stairs and, after much knocking aroused his father. "Father," said he, "what States can cousins legally marry in 7" "Kansas," was ti'e single word in re sponse, bet ween what sounded suspici ously like snores. Mr. Batler returned down stairs. "Well, what does he say?" asked the visitor. "Kansas," replied young Mr. Butler, laconically. "Thank you !" The door was closed and the young visitor was gone. Nothing further was thought of the in cident until yesterday's mail brought Mr. Butler a certified check for $200 for "legal advice" fom his hitherto un known client. This is probably the highest rate per word ever paid for legal advice. It divides into $100 per syllable and $33 33 per letter. Indianapolif Xevt. Character in the Coat. The man who wears s slope shoulder ed coat when the resources of the sarto rian profession are at his command, and who is not driven by necessity into any garments that fate may happen to send, is never a vigorous masculine creature. He may be large and strong, he may even be an athlete, but the manly habit of mind is never his. Of course, he will sel dom be found brutal or pugnacious, and he may often have a moat delicate and refined taste in matters of art ; his man ners may be the perfection of punctilious courtesy ; but he will never put down a metiny, or save any one from drowning, or rescue maidens or infants from burn ing buildings.

Kupp was a lieutenant in the eighty eighth Pennsylvania volunteen during the war and it was his misfortune to be captured in Virginia and subsequently to be landed in Libby prison. He was a tail, lank, quiet young man, very fond of whittling. He was captur ed in the summer of ISu?. go that by the the time February, 1S4, came around, his blue uniform was in rags. The Confederates would not allow the blue uniform to come through nnder flag of truce, but for awhile they permitted friends in the aorth to send through oth er clothes, and in this way Kupp got a suit of a butternut color from frienda in Berks county. When he put on this dress bis com rades laughed at him and assured him that he " looked like a North Carolina tarheel." And it was no doubt this that gave him the suggestion on which he worked. Every morning a sergeant and a detail came in to count the prisoners, which being done, they would march down to Commander Turner's office and thence to their own quarters near by. To the great surprise of all who saw him, Kupp fell in behind the guards one morning and marched down the steps lpadinz from the prison. Instead or following the guards out he remained in Turner's office till that offi cer saw him; and demanded : Who the devil are you, sir?" " I'm Jake Smith, of the Fo'ty-ninth NVtb Caliny," was the reply. " And what brought you in here . " Came to see the Yanks," said the im perturbable Kupp. "To see the Yanks?" " Yes, sah." D you, if you want to see the Yanks go to the front. Sow get out of here, or I'll kick you out !" roared Turner. Telling Turner to go to blazes with his old prison, Kupp walked away a Yan kee otficer virtually kicked out of Libby. The daring fellow picked np a piece of wood, and for some minutes stood on the Casey Btreet front of the prison, whit tling, and looking up at the " Yanks " ; then he started off, whistling the "Bon nie Blue Flag." And. it may be added, Kupp's luck stuck to him, for he reached the Union lines in safety. .1. R. Cal houn. Confidence! Yes, public confidence, that's the key note of our successful advertising. The day for fooling the public is past, and we wouldn't do it if we could. Consumers are never "fooled" w hea they buy Klein's celebrated "Silver Age" or Duquesne Ryes." These famous brands or absolutely pure whisky are now known and sold everywhere from the Atlantic to the Racine slope. Every day swells the long list of customers. Why ? Because the whiskies named stand solely on their merits. Leading physicians all overthe land indorse and prescribe them pretty conclusive evidence that the goods are jufct as represented the purest and best obtainable. A poor whisky is never cheap, but al way 8 injurious. Y'ou take no chances in ordering "Silver Age" or ' Duquesne," which sell respectively at $1.50 and $1.25 per full quart.

A shabbily dressed man sat in the re motest corner of a Chicago restaurant eating a meal which made the waiter's eyes bulge. It was a place wker 50 cents' would buy an all round dinner and a moderate lunch coul J be secured for 33 cents, but that fellow had ordered $3 worth and complained of being hungry when it was going. At last, however, he picked np his check and made his way to the cashier's desk, which was in an ad joining room. Instead of putting down the the red check for $3 he pulled a blue one for 20 cents out of his pocket and planked down two dimes on it. "That doesn't go," said the cashier. "Red checks to-day, blue ones yesterday and green to-morrow." "I o yoa accuse me of trying to beat your "Certainly not I have no doubt the waiter gave yoa the wrong sort of check.

"I had a cop of coffee and a sandwich here yesterday ; asked for a check twice and put one of them in my pocket Cute, wasn't it?" "Very," dryly said the restaurant man ; "but do you know what the penalty for that sort of thing is?" "Oh, t'was only a joke, you know," pleaded the customer. "That so? Well see if a jury can ap preciate it," answered the casbitr, step ping to a telephone. "Hease don't do that," whined the fellow, thoroughly frightened. "I'll never do it again."

European Herald The Farm. VEGETABLE GARDEMSG. Little work cf importance can be done in either the kitchen or market garden during January. Stored crops need at tention. Vegetables in pits and trenches should have sufficient covering to pre vent injury from frost If vegetables are stored in the cellar ventilate it whenever the weather will allow. Cabbage and other plants in cold frames need daily ventilation, and when the temperature is mild enough the sashes may be removed altogether. If the plants are frozen when the snow falls it may be allowed to remain on the sashes, but otherwise it should be cleared off. Preparations should now be made for spring operations. Arrange for neces sary manures and fertilizers, also for tools and implements. It is now in order to provide boxes for starting seeds in the kitchen windows, and flits fer use in hotbeds, as well as to collect bean poles and pea brash. An essential item is to procure good seeds for spring plant ing such as are true to name and will germinate and the best way to do this is to get the catalogue ofaome reputable dealer, make a careful selection from well tested varieties, and then order earlv. APPLE BLOSSOMS IS WISTEB. Perhaps every one does not know how easly fresh apple blossoms can be had in winter.

If holes are made in a tub of butter with a round clean stick, and these holes filled with a brine so strong that an egg will float in it thetop of the butter cov ered with a clean cloth soaked in the brine and the tub keep in a cool place, the butter should keep sweet for months. A COMMON MISTAKE. One of the big mistakes often made by gardeners and fruit growers, and ordina ry farmers as well, is to put up articles of different sizes and qualities in one and the same package. Fruit growers now begin te use the new-fangled "assorters" or "graders" for the purpose of having plums, peaches, et, all of one size in one package; and this pays well. Potato growers, inion growers, etc., should make use of similar devices just as much. It will pay them just as w ell. In bunching radishes, beets, carrots, etc, the specimens in one bunch should always be as near alike as they can be. Common honesty of course, demands that we put same grade of any article in the middle and bottom of a package that we put on top, facing with a few fine specimens only being permissible and commendable.
