In after years Jane tried to forget the scene that followed her entrance into the sitting-room that beautiful September day on which she had re ceived her first love letter. She told herself that her lather had heen be side himself or he never could have spoken to her as cruelly as he did then. The thought lent bitterness to his tipbraidings of the offender. She was ungrateful, unduttful, she was ruining her life by "leading on" a man who could not support her. When he reached this point Jane managed to stem the torrent of her father's words long enough to ex claim— "He will support me! He could marry me at once—but he will not do so until he is making a little more than he is now. Even so lie is prob ably as well off as you were when you married mother!" She had not meant this as a sneer. Imii her temper was quick. She caught her breath as she noted the effect of her words. Her father's pale blue eyes snapped, his retreating chin quiv ered as a child's does in anger or grief. Her father in a Rage Over Ned Sanderson "That's it!" he burst forth. "Taunt me with the fact that I never was able lo lay aside a cent. When you were little you couldn't see that but for ma's making butter and selling it, 'tending the chickens and selling them and the eggs, pinching and screwing here and there, we'd never have made lintli ends meet. Now, you must see that we can't even do that any more, nnd you ought to know that the house Is mortgaged up to the chimneys; that we owe for this, that nnd the other thing—that if we don't get money we'll have to go the Lord knows where find sell the very roof over our heads. It you've got any sense you must know j that. Yet you go right on and bring nil this down on us by taking up with a |>oor man when you might save your I'amily as well as yourself from ruin!" Ho paused, panting. Mrs. Hardy had crept silently into the room at the beginning of this tirade, and now tried to quiet her husband, although her own face was pale and her voice trembled. "Pa! Pa!" she protested. "Don't talk go! Janie don't mean any harm, ehe didn't know"— "Didn't know!" Ezra repeated! "Didn't know, eh—when I told her last night to be good to Gus Reeves! And what did she do—eh? She told hint she wouldn't marry him—that's what she did! Didn't I see him this jnornlng—and don't I know what she's done? He said he'd give her another chance if I thought she was only wait in' because she wasn't sure of her own mind. He asked me if there wasn't Something between her and this San jlerson—and I told him no, there wasn't. And now-—now—here's this letter sayin' that the young upstart ■wants to marry her"— "Stop!" White and shaken though Bane was, her voice rang out in a tone of authority that brought the angry Juan's reproaches to an abrupt pause. "You shall not speak in that way of the man I love," she went on.

If you do not, I shall leave this house." The Old Man Is in Terror at His Own Situation "You—you"—Ezra began, then stop ped amazed. Was this creature facing him his little girl, his little Jane? She seemed suddenly to have become a woman. The sight of her pale and erect, her eyes dark and flashing, yet her voice so hard and cold, unnerved him. He tried to speak, but instead, sank into a chair and buried his face in his hands. "I am an old man, and ruined!" he moaned. "And my own child's turned against me." "Pa, don't!" Mrs. Hardy * begged, starting toward hint. But Jane check ed her by a gesture. Wait, mother!" she commanded. As by a supreme effort she went to her father's side and laid her hand on his shoulder. "I have not turned against you, father," she said in a low tone. "All I ask is that you will not mention —Edward Sandersyn—to me again— that's all. And pie&se give me a little time to think ot what you have said. I don't understand"—her voice break ing suddenly. She put her hand to her forehead as if dazed. "I don't under stand," she reiterated. Then, as her father did not speak, she turned to her mother. "Will you explain to me what he means," she asked appeal ingly. The mother put her arms about the slender form. "Yes, yes, dearie, after awhile I'll explain," she soothed. "You might as well tell her now," Ezra said heavily, rising to his feet. "I'm going out. 1 don't want any din ner." Neither woman spoke until he had gone out and they had seen him disap pear around the corner of the house. Then the girl turned again to her mother. "Now," she said, "whal does all this mean ?" ■ Sinking into the chair her husband had just left, the eluerly woman forc ed herself to tell her child the truth. Ezra Hardy had sold all the land that anyone would buy. There was no de sirable property left except that on which the house and barn stood. The place was mortgaged. They could not pay the interest on the mortgage. For some years they had borrowed money to do this. The man who had lent the money had been lenient with them, but he had died recently and his heirs demanded prompt payment of the loun. Everything had been going out and nothing coming in for a long while. Now there was nothing more to go out. Augustus Rpeves had heard rumors of Ezra's condition and had asked him if these were true. When the un successful man acknowledged that they were. Reeves had said he would secure Jane a position in the Milton school and would give Ezra abundant financial assistance if the girl would marry him later. In fact, he had as serted that at the end of another year Ezra would not have a debt in the world. The tale was told haltingly, tearful ly. Yet the girl listening, hands clasp ed tightly together and eyes staring straight ahead, understood every word —understood as the prisoner under stands the sound of the key turning in the lock of his cell.

The skirt is cut in five pieces and the front and back portions are plaited, while the 6ides are plain and are joined to the yoke. In the illustration, the material is blue serge, with collar and cuffs of taffeta, but white serge is liked for the more dressy effect and a great many mothers will make the blouse of one material and the skirt of another, and just now, there is a fancy for using crdpe de chine for blouses to wear with serge or whatever material may be preferred.

The State Department of Agriculture to day issued notice that its reports showed that the public was being de- | ceived by oysters which had been bloated by allowing them to remain in water. Under the law they must be sold "solid" and without any added water or any substance. As in the case of vinegar if the buyer likes to add water to them it may be done, but until they reach the consumer they must not he "watered" and must be kept in edible condition. Some of the reports received here showed that customers were getting half water and half oyster because oysters sold out of the shell were placed in water to "fatten" them up and the pure food inspectors have been told off to make inspections of every place where oysters are sold to see that the law has been complied with. Other agents of the Department of Agriculture, which is very much 011 the map these days, as tliey say at. the Capitol, have rounded up the pest which has caused destructions of thousands of rose bushes in tho State and the reports received from Blooms burg, where there was an extensive visitation, indicate that the rose midge, as the pest was known, has been exterminated. Numerous green houses inspected lately are reported free from the pest. WAX FIGURES AUCTIONED Eden Musee In New York Ends Its Career of 34 Years Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. 15.

This question is asked every day. A cold is really a fever, not always caused by the weather but often due to disordered blood or l?.ck of important food-elements. In changing seasons fat-foods are essential because they distribute heat by enriching the blood and so render the system better able to withstand the varying elements. This is the important reason why Scott's Emulsion should always be taken for colds, and it does more— builds strength to prevent sickness. Scott's Emulsion contains Nature's rare strengthbuildingfats, so skillfully blended that the blood profits from every drop. It is free from harmful drugs or alcohol.
