It was a ra le apolcijy for a dwelling ho'tsc, a BnaU hovel like structure with a tLato-Led.roof and a tutoble-downhiin-a-iT-. There were bat three rooms in it ; one cf these was the loft reached by rude stairway, which waa ajd by the fiuily as a sleeping -room. Of the two oa the ground floor one was csed aa a storage or pwviiion room, while the larger was a kitchen, living-room and parlor all ia one. The walls were bare save for a pair of dser's horns over the door. The win dows were narrow and had shutters in side. At one end of the room was a rais ed hearth of stone. The rafters were smoked to a deep rich cotfee-color. A rongh deal table, a chair, half a dozen stooij and a apianin-wheel compri-jed the fi rait are. The hut stood among the Dalecarlian hills in Sweden ; in tbe midst of deep woods, though on one side there was an open stretch, through which could be seen green fields and far below in the valley, the roofj and cjimneys of a small harn'e:. It was a wild beautiful country aad even the cottage and its adjacent barn, which had also a thatched roof, nude a pret'y picture. This was the home of Sirid Johanns- son and her little brother CarL Siffrid was only 12 and Carl 8 years old. They had lived in this lineiy little hovel ever since they were born. Their father had been a wood-chopper, but the year before had bein killed by the fall of one of his own trees. Their mother, Pane Ulrica, went cur sing for a livelihood and was then attend ing the miller's sick wife at Rattvik, a little hillside village about half dozen mi;es distant through the woods. So the ch.lJren were all alone in their forest hcin-.e. "Be careful, Sigrid," Dame Ulrica had sail when she had left home the first of the w eek. The Danish soldiers are about, searching everywhere for that true Sede, Ga.-rtavus Vasa. Thou hadst better not leave the hou.se lest harm come to thee." You needn't worry about Sigred or me, mamma.'' declared Carl, shaking his golden curls and strutting np and down very bravely with his father's ax on his shoulder. "I will kill all the wicked D mrs, and then the good (iastavus won't htve to hide any longer with a price on his hea 1. Sigrid laughed pleasantly at her broth er's bold speech. She was a quiet digni fied little thing with two great roils of yellow hair hanging down below her waist, and eyes mild and blue as the sum mer skies of her own land. "Yes, brother will take care of me, and we will be wvchfdl and won't even leave the h'Qe. "I shall be back as sxn as the good wife is belter," said the mother. "And Ulfson shall come over with a bag of meal meanwhile and you will have enough to eat, The children siw her depart without any thought of being afraid. Their mother was absent so much that they hal ne.'er been molested, and though strangers bad often pissjd that way they seldom paused, unless it was to beg a drink of water from the spring beside the door. Carl and Sigrid had plenty of work to busy themsehea with. The boy fed the chickens, the two sheep and the cow, carried the water and gathered the fuel from the adjacent forests, and hisaister milked the cow, made the baiter, cooked their simple meals and spnn the wool, even as Swedish maidens do to-day. When it came night they cloted the shut ters, drew the stout oaken bar across thf door, lighted their single lamp and roast ed cuts in the hot ashes till bed time, when they said their simple prayers, drew the ashes over the coals and climb ed to the loft to their couch of straw with a wolfskin for a blanket. In the middle of the week the miller's boy came over the bills with a bag of barley meal oa bis mule's back, which was left at the cottage, but ro other per son visile 1 them till, one night just at dusk little Carl rushed into the kitchen where his sister sat spinning, with the exclamation : Oh, Sigrid ; there's a great big man coming op the road. I think it must be one the Danes. Hadn't we better bar him out?' "Hush, Carll" said his sister pausing to stir the brands on the wide hearth: "lie is no Dane If he comes alone. Doubt- le-s he is some traveler who needs shelt er. "I don't know," answered CarL "I'm afraid of hint, be is so Ull and burly. I think . will get my axe." Before Sigred could answer there was a loud rap at the door, and her first glance was an apprehensive one as she opened it. The stranger was of large frame, tall and broad -shouldered, and his great size was rendered still more impressive by the large cloak of bear's fur that hung from hi shoulders, for it waa the season cf cold among the Dalecarlian mountains EST A "RTiTRFTKT 1837. WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 181)3. Piercing dark eyes shone from under heavy brows, and the man's whole air was pre-eminently that of one used to command. "Can yon give shelter to a wanderer among your hills?" he asked in some' what of a stern voice, yet i-ourteous enough. "I had hoped to go farther, bat night is coining on and I am far from friends." "To such as we Lave you are welcome sir," answered Sigrid, throwing wide open the door. The stranger murmured his thanks and advanced into the room, th-iwicg ar-ide his haavy fur garment and .-eated himself by the fire. Carl continued to view bitn with sus picions eyes, keeping back in the corner, and noting every movement of their guest, who sat very quiet in his chair with his chin a pen his hands, while Si grid was busy getting sapper. When the hot barley-cakes ;and the bean porridge were placed upon the table. Carl barely had courage to set his stool at the oppo site side, bringing forward the wood man's axe so that he might have it with in reach. The latter action caught the visitor's eve. "What dost tbou do with thy axe, my !ai?" he asked cutiomly. -I keep it t-j kill Dines with," replied the hardy little S ede, with unexpected energy. "Then thon ilt have work enonh to do ere long," said the visiter laughing; and he fell to eating hi bowl cf por ridge with ail the zest cf a hungry man. Hardly had they finished their hum ble meal when they were disturbed by the clatter of horses baofs ontei Ja. The next instant there was a heavy knock oa the door. "Let us in cried half a dozen voices. Carl grasped bis axe and stood behind the table ia a posture of defense. The visitor sprung to his feet, gave a quick glance around, and then, as if realizing how futile would be any attempt at de fjn?, seiaed the remainder of the por ridge, and bending forward over the hearth renewed his eating. Bat Sigrid's action was the most singu lar of all; she grasped the stringer's heavy rVAt and ran up the stairway with it, returning just iatiina to unbar the door as a threatening voice cried : "Open the door, I say, or we wiil break it down. A dozen armed men strnggied into the doorway and the leader sternly asked : "Hast thou seen a wanderer pass by your hilt, girl ?" "No one has passed by our door these seven days," answered S'grid, with an unfaltering tongue, thongh her cheeks slightly psled. "But who is he, yonder?" questioned the officer, with a suspicious glance at the figure by the hearth. "That," said the girl in a cqiitemr-.ta-ous tone, "is a varlet who does not know when he has eaten enough." And then, as by a sudden inspiration she struck her guest a rude blow in the face. "To the barn thou churl, where thoa belongt, I will inform thy mistress on her return what a glutton and lazy-bones she pays her hard-earned silver to. Away r The man arose wi'.ha lazy yawn, wip ed hi mcuth with his hand, aad matter ed: ' The fire was warm and the soup was gi ; I didn't know it was anv barm." Then he male for the door, his exit being considerably curried by the help of the soldiers, who p.isrie l andj jntled him with rude jokes, all of whk-h he tx)k good naturedly. ' Beshrew tnel but thoa hast a sharp tougae, my lai a'.tnoah thou looked m.tk enough." declared theotBier, with laugh. "Pardon us for our intrusion." And he ordered his men to remount aad ride oa in pursuit of the illost-ious fjgitive, who, thauks to young girl's ready wit, they had just had the pleas are of assisting to escape out of their very hands. After they were all gone Sigrid sunk d)n, white as a sheet,and Car!, wonder ing, asked : "Were they all Dacca, sister?" And he would not believe that the burly stranger, who had left his big fur exit in their loft, was the famous Gasta vui Vasa, till one day in the following summer, when a gay cavalcade rode cp to the dour, and the leader, the same tall man with the stern eyes and grim lip?, asked for Sigrid. "Thou art a brave girl aad a thougbt fjl one," said the king be was now ius tavus I "and I owe my llfj to thy prompt action, If thoa wiil now return my far coat I will pay thee far its keep ing." And to the surprise of Sigrid and her mother, while Carl's eyej fairly seemed to roll out of their sockets, he then threw a chain of gold around the white neck cf the girL "That is the gut of thy king," he ron-tinuc-1 ; "the nation gives the better guerdon." He thrust into her hands a folded parchment to which were atUched c jrls and seals. Then bowing grandly, as if she had been a prince, the Sweedish hero and bis knights rode away. The parchment proved to be the title deeds of a large estate, which was granted to Sigrid Johannssoa and her heirs forever, and which ia still in the hands of the brave Swedish girl whose shrewd wit and presence of mind saved the life of tt e greatest of Sweden's sovereigns. She Knew Him.

All food should be kept separate from one another. Keep fresh meat above the ice. Keep cold cooked meat in a clean dry "safe" or wired cupboard. Keep potatoes and all root vegetables in a box or a bin in a dry cellar. Cranberries may be kept for months in crocks or jtrs, and covered with water. Sogar, rice, hominy, farina, oatmeal and the like are best kept in bags or boxes in cool, dry closet. Milk shoul J be as far as possible sep arated from the other food and kept clean and cool. A basket kept on a swinging shelf is the proper receptacle fur eggs, Coffee and tea should be kept in close canisters by themselves. Spices also. Baking powders, carbonate cf soda and the like keep best in esall, self sealing glase jars. Lard should be hard, white, and kept in a covered crock. Dried fruits are bet kept in bag3 and hung upon a dry wall, but they may also be well preserved, if properly dried in boxes. Apples and oranges keep longest by being wrapped separately in tiue pa per and spread out, so as not to touch each other, ia a cool, dry place. Pie?, cooked meals, col 1 ctxiked veg etable and the like tnust be covere 1, not kept in a wired cupboard, or "safe," as it is called. All food that is not perfectly soand, that is unripe, that is allowed to dry, or accumulate, the particles floating in the air, is unwholesome.

Said a leading physician : Hot milk is an excellent substitute for beer, whis ky or other alcoholic stimulants, in cases ofgrt-at fatigue and over-exertion cf body and mind. Its reviving influence, when taken as hot as can bo sipped, is remarkable. Iu eJ.-ct is promptly felt aad lasting, aa l even those who have been accustomed to the nse of alcoholic beverag- will find this substitute remark ably satisfying. This ij especially true of over-worked women, for w hom phy sicians sometimes prescribe beer and other taild stimulants. The momentary exhilamtioa felt is only the whip ap plied to an exhausted body, while the hot milk is digested and gives ncorieh ment aad real strength." Two Valued Frends.

Even ao dark a page of history as this, however, is not with out its story of kio Ineeis aud mercy be tween enemies. The town of Peto wa so situated in the Indian tenitory that it was taken by the Indians aad recaptar ed bv the whites many times. Oace, when it was in the hands of its rightfal owners, a naaiber of Indian prisoaers were held. Less cruel than the savages, the whites killed oaly in battle; they allowed their prisoners fo live. But provisions be came more aad more scarce, and the Ind ians were left to die cf hunger.

" The family of D-iirte was the oaly one that was spjrel. The In liaa who had inspired the pity cf Don Marcos was piying bis dept. Twenty years afterward ia a 3ccces-jfa! uprising the Indians sacked a uamb?r of villages aad country houses. They re treated loaded with spoil aad dragging with tLe:n many hoasiehold servants, of whom they intended to make slaves. The chief cf the expedition asked one cf them what was the came cf his mas ter. "Doc Marcos Daarte, " he replied. The chief immediately called a halt. "How many mea belong to Don Mar cos?" he acked. "Twenty-four," repliel the min t whom he had spoken. "Name them," said the chief. Having collected the tenty-foar mea he returned to them the spoil which hail come from the Daarte house an I said, "Go home, frien-1; you are free.
