"Yon may go. Miss Morris,
be said. He did not look up from the
papers before him.
The young woman turned to the
clock wltn a little start of surprise.
It was only 4:30. But she quietly put
on ber bat, and with a murmured good
night left the room.
Abel listened to the departing rustle
of ber sk'rts with a thoughtful expres
sion. There was a sensible girL A
girl who never grated on his feelings.
A girl who asked no useless questions.
She had reached an age of discretion.
If Jim was determined to marry a poor
girl why couldn't be hare taken one

Abel opened a heavy envelope and
drew forth a folded paper.

where my father begrudged me pen

He unfolded the paper that he had
taken from the envelope and ran- his
keen gray eye down the closely writ
ten lines.
"He baa given np bis father for a
pretty face," he murmured. '"Let him

veneer from love's young dream. I'll
draw up a new will at home to-night
and have it witnessed before I sleep.
And to let him know what his foolish
fancy has cost him. I'll write him a
letter a letter he can show to his new
relatives. That" s the thing a letter."
He bent down with bis head upon
bis hand and his eyes upon the paper.
A rustle of skirts In the doorway drew
bis attention. He did not look up. It
was a way be bad.
"Ah, Miss Morris," he said, "back
again?" He had quite forgotten that
he had sent her home.
The young girl in the doorway did
not answer. Her bright eyes were fix
ed upon the old man. She expected
him to look up. If he bad done so he
would have seen a charming vision.
She was a very pretty girl dainty and
neat from the tip of her new hat to the
tips of her new shoes. But he did not
look up.
"Just In time," he added. "I want
to dictate a letter before you go."
He paused, and the young girl, as If
seized with a sudden fancy, quietly
stepped into the room and seated her
self at the typewriter.
"You have been with us so long, Miss
Morris," the old man continued, "that
we view you as a. confidential agent
Besides, this will be public property
very soon. I am going to write to my
son. Last night he married an un
known girl against my wishes. I am
going to tell him that I wash my hands
of him and his; that to-night I change
my will, cutting him off with a soli
tary dollar. Are you ready?"
The girl at the typewriter gave the
instrument a preliminary click or two.
"James Mitchell," began the old man,
"as you have seen fit to dlsober me.
to cast my fatherly wishes In my teeth,
I desire you to know that I have no
wish to hold further communication
with you. While I cherish the Impres
sion that you were lured into this un

The typewriter stopped.
"Unhappy marriage," the told man
repeated, and the clicking recom
menced; "yet I cannot accept this
any excuse for your undutlful conduct

may rent assured that your nuiuc will

and no reply will be expected.
"ABEL MITCHELL."
The young girl drew the sheet from
the machine, and bringing it forward
laid it on the old man's desk. Abel
glanced It through.
"A beautiful copy," be said, and care
fully folded it Then he placed It In an
envelope and dipped a pen In Ink.
"I do not know bis address," be aald,
and knit bis brows.
The girl at the end of the desk ex
tended ber hand.
"If you have no objection," she quiet
ly said, "I will deliver It to him in per

"Thank yon, no," said the girL "i

dropped to the letter and the win, and
a sarcastic smile twisted his mouth.
"No, no," the girl quickly added. "1

thing. And you were quite wrong,
too. to Insult me as you did In that let
ter." lie looked np again quickly.
There were tears In the gentle eyes.
And there was a glint of lire in them,
too. "You Insulted me and yon Insult
ed my dear father. I have no mother."
She paused a moment "When yon in
sinuated that my father waa merce
nary in this matter yon did him a erne
wrong. He was bitterly opposed to
our marrying without your consent I
disobeyed my father, too. Bnt It waa
not for your money. This letter will
bring us no surprise."
The old man dropped bis eyes be
neath her reproachful gaze.
"Perhaps I was hasty," be slowlj
said, "but the provocation was great"
Then be quickly added: "But, know
ing as you did that I opposed the wed
ding, and your father opposed It, too,
why did yon permit yourself to marry
my boy?"
"I could make it clear to yon, 1
think," said the girl gently, "if yon
loved your boy."
The old man trembled. If be loveo
bis boy! All that was near and dear
to him all that was left to him of kith
and kin. The babe that a dying wife
had solemnly 'placed In his paternal
arms. If he loved his boy! He drew
a long breath and stared hard at the
blank envelope on the desk before him.
"And now," said the young girl, "I
only want to add that I think Jim was
quite wrong in crossing your wishes.
He might have waited. I wanted him
to wait But he Is so proud, so self
willed. I am very sorry that I should
be the means of separating you, and I
I am quite sure I am not worth the
great sacrifice my dear my husband
has made."
Abel was quite sure there were tears
In her eyes again, but be did not look
up.
"Where Is Jim now?" he asked. Then
he Bmifed grimly. "And why are you
not enjoying your your wedding
tour?'
"There was a vacancy In the bank
where my father is employed," said
the girl, "and father secured it for Jim.
His duties began to-day. Perhaps we
will take our wedding Journey later.
We have to look out carefully for the
main chance now, you know."
"And you didn't expect to fall back
on my dollars?" said the old man.
"Not a penny of them," quickly re

The old man fidgeted In his chair.
"And why not?" be asked.
"I think you understand," said the
girl, and her gaze dropped to the letter
on the desk.
"Does Jim know you are here?"
"No. At least be didn't know I waa
coming. Father will tell him to meet
me at the corner at 5 o'clock. I must
go."

Ike many of bis degenerate successors.
Ills name la De Linton Wing, and years
igo he won for himself the "title of
-progenitor of liberal advertising" by
lils extensive advertising of a famous
irand of flour of which he was the pro
prietor the Julian mills flour.
It is said that at one time he was
worth $50,000,000, but lost his fortune
partly by speculation in buying news
papers. One of Mr. Wing's greatest advertisi
ng feats, according to the Albany
I'ress-Knickerbocker, was the Insertion
in the London Times, much to the sur
prise of the slow-going Britons, of a
full-page advertisement of his famous
brand of flour. It was claimed as a
(oke that Mr. Wing, who alone had the
secret and the patent for the manufac
ture of the Julian mills flour. Intro
duced In the ingredients a moistening
f alcohol and hops that gave a pun
gency upon which many a family was
mildly exhilarated every morning at
breakfast, and he had as a part of his
business accounts a letter from Lord
i'nlmerston, prime minister of England,
:n which the latter expresses the
thanks of Queen Victoria and her min
istry for bags of his flour, because, as
the minister said, of Its elevating ef
fects at each meaL
In the advertisement in the London
Times Mr. Wing had such striking lines
as these: "Julian Mills sees the
Queen;" "Palmenston gets his Julian
;akes early and saves England's honor
by reason of the daring spirit they In
fuse Into bim." In the middle of the
page was a wood cut a most terrible
Innovation for the London Times of
Mr. Wing seated between the Queen
and Lord Palmerston, who are both
begging him to come to England and
live at Windsor. . To this Mr. Wing re
sponds: "I am an American sovereign,
greater than the British crown."
One of Mr. Wing's greatest enter
prises was during the great celebration
of 1858, over the Atlantic cable. Al
bany turned out In great procession, at
the head of which was the great wagon
of D. L. Wing, made entirely of flour
barrels. Sixteen flour barrels served
as wheels and thousands of barrel
staves formed an awning over the body
of the wagon, on which fifty young la
lies in bakers' dress were conducting a
mimic bakery of the Julian cakes.
Thousands of Albanians were gratui
tously served with bread that day from
the Julian mill flour, and at the borne
of nearly every poor family In the ward
in which Mr. Wing lived were left that
olgbt a barrel of flour and a photograph
of Whig and Queen Victoria.

Animal Nmrctt Man.
"Now, boys," said the teacher, ad
lrcssing the Junior class In natural his
tory, "you have been reading about the
Irlendly relations existing betwen man
ind some of the lower animals. Con
my of you tell me what animal bas the

Pleasure and the pursuit of It are
jot the first things inculcated In young
minds among American farming people-
Pleasures come after duty has been
lone, and well done. This placing of
luty first Is the great disciplinary ad
vantage in the training that country
boys receive, says the Woman's Home
Companion. The country work cannot
be postponed, and the accomplishment
f It becomes a habit of life, no matter
bow far removed the person trained In
It may be from the field In which It was
accessary. Pretty nearly everything a
country boy encounters day by day has
a tendency toward the development of
i healthy and wholesome Individuality.
There Is a deal of regular work that
every country boy must do. This work,
pretty much always out of doors, incul
cates Industrious and regular habits,
while It contributes to a physical devel
opment which In after years is Just as
valuable as any athletic training that
san be bad. He cannot run as fast
perhaps, as those trained by a system;
he may not be able to Jump so high or
k far or excel in any of the sports
upon which we bestow so much time,
and from which we get so much pleas
ure, but his development enables hlsa
to buckle down to the hard work Si
which hours are consumed, and from
which very little If any Immediate pleas
ure Is extracted. The chores that a
L-ountry boy does are not always pleas
ant; they are Infinitely less agreeable
than training for a boat race or for a
foot-ball game; In tbelr accomplish
ment there Is no reward of applause;
it Is all humdrum work, which usually
begins with the day, and which does
not end till darkness has settled down
and It Is time to sleep.

a very little wealth Is sufficient.

FORESTS OF THE PHILIPPINES!
Idea for Their Protection Borrowed
from Knalend'a Syatem in India.
There are many rare woods In the
Philippines, which may be made a
source of great wealth to this country
if properly protected. If speculators are
allowed to have their own sweet will
In the Jungles, however, the same thing
will happen which has happened in
some of the richest timber districts of
this country the land will be reduced
to- an arid and cheerless desert, for
there Is nothing more dismal than a
tract of land which has been Senuded
of trees by the greed of men who care
only for Immediate returns.
The British Government established
In India a forest department, whose
officers are scattered all over the coun
try. Their duty Is to see that the young
trees are not destroyed by predatory
animals, to prevent and extinguish flree
In the dry season, to study the district
In which they may be assigned, and set
out new trees which may suit the' cli
mate and conditions, and generally to
look after the section of jungle undet
their charge.
Something like this may be necessary
In the Philippines, to say nothing of
there being some need for It In certain
parts of the United States. The reck
lessness with which Americans have
destroyed their own wealth Is equaled
only by the speed with which they re
place it. We cut down onr forests and
ruin our climate, and then Invent sys
tems of Irrigation to do what nature
did without our help.- We destroy all
tbe shade trees within miles of a new
town, and then contrive unnumbered
devices to keep the houses cool by arti
ficial means. We ruin our health by
an unnatural and feverish way of liv
ing, and then pay immense sums to
marvelously skillful physicians who
make a study of nervous diseases.
When we learn to preserve our In
herited wealth as well as to acquire
new riches, we shall be the greatest
people on the face of the earth. Wash
ington Times.
REPENT INVENTIONS.
Cattle are prevented from getting on
the railroad tracks at grade crossings
by a new guard, which is formed of slsf

A cymbal campaign torch has been
designed by an Oklahoma man, having
a fixed cymbal attached to the end of
the torch rod, with a second cymbal at
tached to the bale which carries the oil
reservoir, the tilting of the rod causing

other.
An electric door-opener has been pat
ented by which a push button can be
nsed to draw the latch and allow a call

In proximity to a magnet, so that a
push on tbe button completes the cir
cuit and pulls the bar out of connection
with the latch.
The influence' of present social condi
tions In this country upon the birth rate
Is beginning to attract attention, for
the reason that the eize of the average
American family is steadily decreasing.
This is especially true In New England,
where the average family has been re
duced from 5.16 in 1850 to 4.57 at the
present time, but the same thing Is
true In a reduced degree of the whole
nation. In 1850 the size of the average
American family was 5.55 and It has
now been reduced to 4.93. We are still
maintaining a healthy birth rate, but
conditions that tend to restrict the rais
ing of families and to reduce the num
ber of births cannot be said to be de
sirable. .
The scale upon which the Paris expo
sition Is to be constructed is indicated
In tbe fact that the catalogue will cost
$90,000 to print and will contain about
100,000 names. In a competition with
three firms as contestants the contract
was awarded the Lemercier company
at 453,000 francs, or about $90,000. That
of the exposition of 1889 cost "about
$40,000, or less than half the amount
to be paid for that setting forth the ex
hibits of tbe 1900 exposition. The cata
logue, will be prjnted In eighteen vol
umes, according to divisions of exhibits
and must contain the names of all ex
hibitors. Of the estimated 100,000 ex
hibitors the United States will probably
have 2,000, though that number could
have been greatly Increased had there
been more space for exhibits.
The recent decision of the professors
of dancing that henceforth the holding
of partners In the dance should be a
one-banded affair Is an ominous one.
Ostensibly this greater freedom Is af
forded In order that the lady may bold
up her train, but lu reaiit' u is au
knowledgment on the part of Terpsich
ore of ' woman's independence and
her dislike of restraint and masculine
gu:dance. Dancing, like other arts, but
follows popular movements, and to In
sist that a man should guide with both
bands Is not In accord with present
Ideals. Perhaps the next innovation
will be the granting to women the priv
ilege of being the one to lead the way
In the waltz mazes, or, perhaps, dancers
of the future will not revolve in cou
ples, but go whirling singly about In
the meantime, the man with "the left
hand hanging by his. side" is a sorry
and suggestive flsrure.

ImblbtBaT Wisdom. .
The man with a fad, who was talka

been discoursing to his friend, says tbi
New York World, on the influence 01
food upon character.
'Tell me." said he. In summing up
"tell me what a man eats, and I wll
tell you what be Is."
His friend, although fatigued, wa;
evidently Interested.
"There Is only one question I wish t
ask yon.'' he said.
"Ask it," replied the dlscourser, mag
nanimously, with an air that said very
clearly. "Give me a hard one while
you are It and I'll show you how
smart I aru."
"It is this." replied the fatigued
friend. "How much sage tea would
you have to drink to make a wise man
of yourself?"
No answer being promptly forthcom
