Ilore the Bible closed with a tre
mendous thud. Tant' Sanni# loosened
the white handkerchief about her neck
untl wiped her eyes, and the colored
girl, seeing her do so. sniffled. They did
not understand the discourse, which
made It the more affecting. There
hung over it that inscrutable charm
which hovers forever for the human
intellect over the incomprehensible
and shadowy. When the last hymn
was sung, the German conducted the
olßciator to Tant' Sannie, who gra
ciously extended her hand and offered
coffee and a .seat on the sofa. Leav
ing him there, the German hurried
away to see how the little plum pud
ding he had left at home was advanc
ing. and Tant' Sannie remarked that
it was a hot uay. Bonaparte gathered
her meaning as she fanned herself
with the end of her apron. He bowed
low In acquiescence. A long silence
followed. Tant' Sannie spoke again.
Bonaparte gave her no car. His eye
was fixed on a small miniature on the
opposite wall, which represented Tant'
Sannie as she had appeared ou the
day before her confirmation. 13 years
before, attired in green muslin. Sud
denly he started to his feet, walked
up to the picture and took his stand
before it. Loug and wistfully he gazed
into its features. It was easy to see
that he was deeply moved. With a
sudden movement, as though no longer
abie to restrain himself, he seized the
picture. looseniKl it from its iJn.il and
held it close to his eyes. At length,
turning to the Boer woman, he said in
a voice of deep emotion:
"You will. 1 t.-ust. dear madamc, ex-
L-j.se tUIs .bitiou of my feelings, but
thiK--th:.- lilt!.- picture recalls to me

"Ah. my tirst, my beloved!" he add
ed, looking teadi ■ ly dowu -the pie

sui*e!v a sister of yourn. madauie?" Le
added, lixiaj: his eyes on Taut' Sannie.
The Duu.'hwomaa blushed, shook
her head and p tinted to herself.
Carefully, iuteatly. Bonaparte looked
from tin |>icture In his hand to Taut'
Sannie's features an.l from the fea
tures back to the picture. Then slowly
a litflit broke over his countenance,
lie looked up. It became a smile. He
looked back at the miniature. His
whole countenance was effulgent.
"Ah. yes; I see it now," he cried,
turning his delighted gaze ou to the
Boer woman, "eyes, mouth. no3e, chin,
ihe very expression!" he cried. "How
<s it possible I did not notice It be
ftwr
"Take another cup of coffee," said
Taut' Sanule. "Put some sugar in."
Bonaparte bung the picture tenderly
up and was turning to take the cup
frmu lier hand when the German ap
peared to say that the pudding was
ready nnd the meat on the table.
"He's a (sod fearing man and one
who knows how to behave himself,"
said the Boer woman as he went out
at the door. "If he Is ugly, did uot the
Lord make him? And are we to laugh
at the Lord's handiwork? It is better
to be ugly and good than pretty and
bad, though of course It's nice when
one Is both," said Taut' Sannie, look
ing complacently at the picture on the
wall.
In the afternoon the German and
tlomiparte sat before the door of the
cabin. Both smoked in complete si
lence, Bonaparte with a book in his
hands aud his eyes half closed, the
German puffing vigorously and glanc
ing up uow and again at the serene
blue sky overhead.
"Supposing—you—you, in fact, made
Ihe remark to me," burst forth the
German suddenly, "that you were look
ing for a situation.'.'
Bonaparte opened his mouth wide
and sent a stream of smoke through
his lips.
"Now, supposing," said the German
—"merely supposing, of course—that
some one—some one, in fact—should
make an offer to you, say, to become
schoolmaster ou their farm aud teach
two children, two little girls perhaps,
nnd would give you £4O a year, would
you accept It? Just supposing, of
course."
"Well, my dear friend," said Bona
parte, "that would depend on circum
stances. Money Is no consideration
with me. For my wife I have made
provision for the next year. health
is broken. Could 1 meet a pla?t where
a gentleman would be treated as a
gentleman I would accept It. however
SIIIMA the remuneration. With mo,"
said Bonaparte, "money is no consid
eration."
"Well," said the German when he
had taken a whiff or two more from
his pipe, "I think I shall go up and see
Taut' Sannie a little. I go up often on
Sunday afternoon to have a general
conversation, to see her, you kuow.
Nothing nothing particular, you
know."
The old man put Ills book Into his
pocket and walked up to the farm
house with a peculiarly knowing aud
delighted expression of countenance.
"He doesn't suspect what I'm going
to do," soliloquized the German;
"hasn't the least Idea; a nice surprise
for him."
The man whom he had left at his
doorway winked at the retreating fig
ure with a wink that was not to be de
scribed.
CHAPTER VI.
BONAPARTE lII.ENKINS MAKES HIS NEST.
"Ah, what is the matter?" asked
Waldo, stopping at the foot of the lad
der with a load of skins on his back
that he was carrying up to the loft.
Through the open door in the gable
little Eui was visible, her feet dan
gling from the high bench on which she
sat. The room, once a storeroom, had
been divided by a row of "mealle"
bags Into two parts, the back being
Bonaparte's bedroom, Ihe front his
schoolroom.
"Lyndall made him angry," said the
girl tearfully; "aud he has given me
the fourteenth of John to learn. He
says he will teach me to behave my
self when Lyndall troubles him."
"What did she do?" asked the boy.
"You see," said Em, hopelessly turn
lug the leaves, "whenever he talks
she looks out at the door, as though
liear him. Today slie ask
ed him "what the signs of the zodiac
were, and he said he was surprised
that she should ask him; it was uot a
fit and proper thing for little girls to
talk about. Then she asked him who
Copernicus was, and he said he was
one of the emperors of Rome, who
burned the Christians in a golden
pig. and the worms eat him up while
he was still alive. I don't know why,"
said Em plaintively, "but she just put
her books under her arm and walked
out. and she will never come to his
school again, she says, and she al
ways does what she says. And now
I must sit here every day alone," said
Em, the great tears dropping softly.
"Perhaps Tant' Sannie will send him
away," said the boy in his mumbling
way, trying to comfort her.
"No." *.iid Em, shaking her head.
"uo. Last niglit when the little Hot
tentot maid was washing her feet he
told her he liked such feet and that
fat women were so nice to him, and
she said I must always put him pure
cream in his coffee now. No; he'll
never go away." said Em dolorously.
The boy put down his skins and
fumbled in his pocket and produced
a small piece of paper containing some
thing. He stuck it out toward her.
"There, take it for you," he said,
this was by way of comfort.
Em opened it and found a small bit
of gum, a commodity prized by the
children, but the great tears dropped
down slowly on to it.
Waldo was distressed. He had cried
so much In Ills morsel of life that tears
in another seemed to burn him.
"If," be said, stepping in awkwardly
and standing by the table, "if you will
not cry, I will tell you something, a
secret."
"What is it?" asked Em, instantly
becoming decidedly better.
"Y'ou will tell It to no human being?"
"No."
He bent nearer to ber and with deep
solemnity said:
"I have made a machine!"
Em opened her eyes.
"Yes, a machine for shearing sheep.
It is almost done," said the boy.
"There is only one thing that Is not
light yet, but It will be soon. When
fou think and think and think all night
and all day, it comes at last," he added
mysteriously.
"Where is it?"
"Ilere! I always carry It here," said
[ the boy, putting his hand to his breast,
where a bulging out was visible. "This
Is a model. When It is done, they will
have to make a one."
"Show it me."
The boy shook his head.
"Xo, not till It is done. I cannot let
any human belns sec it till then."
"It Is a beautiful secret," said Em,
mid the boy shuffled out to pick up his
Fkins.
That evening father and son sat in
Ihe cabin eating their supper. The fa
ttifr yTgfit-*? Trrv
haps he thought how loug a time it
was since Bonaparte had visited the
Hibiu, but his son was in that land in
cvhich sighs have no part. It Is a ques
tion whether it were uot better to be
the shabbiest of fools anil know the
way up the little stair of Imagination
to the land of dreams than the wisest
of men, who see nothing that the eyes
do not show and feel nothing that the
hands do not touch. The boy chewed
his brown bread and drank his coffee,
but in truth he saw only his machine
finished, that last something found out
and added. He saw it as it worked
with beautiful smoothness, and over
and above, as he chewed his bread and
drank his coffee, there was that de
lightful consciousness of something
bending over him and loving him. It
would not have been better in one of
the courts of heaven, where the walls
are set with rows of the King of
Glory's amethysts and milk white
pearls, than there, eating his supper in
that little room.
As they sat In silence thero was a
knock at the door. When it was open
ed, tjie small woolly head of a little
nigger showed itself. She was a mes
senger from Tant' Sannie. The Ger
man was wanted at once at tiro home
stead. Tutting on his hat with both
hands, he hurried off. The kitchen
was in darkness, but in the pantry be
yond Taut' Sannie and ber maids were
assembled.
A Kaffir girl who had been grinding
pepper between two stones knelt on
the floor, the lean Hottentot stood with
a brass candlestick In her hand, and
Tant' Sannie, near the shelf, with a
hand on each hip, was evidently listen
ing intently, as were her companions.
"What may it be?" cried the old
German in astonishment.
The room beyond the pantry, was the
storeroom. Through the thin wooden
partition there arose at that Instant,
evidently from some creature ensconced
there, a prolonged and prodigious howl,
followed by a succession of violent
blows against the partition wall.
The German seized the churn stick
and was about to rush round the
bouse when the Boer woman impress
ively laid her hand upon his arm.
"That is his head," said Tant' San
nie; "tlwit Is his head."
"Bnt what might It be?" asked the
German, looking from one. to the other,
churn stick in hand.
A low hollow bellow prevented re
ply. and the voice of Bonaparte lifted
Itself on high.
"Wary Ann, my anjgel, my wife!"
"Isn't It dreadful?* said Tant' Sannie
as tl*> blows were repeated fiercely.
"He lias got a letter. His wife is
dead. You must gp and comfort him,"
said Tant' Sannie at last, "and I will
go with you. It would not be the
thing for me to go alone—me, who am
only 33, and he an unmarried man
now," said T/unt' Sanule, blushing and
smoothing out ber apron.
Tpon this they all trudged round
the house irn company, the Hottentot
maid carrying the light. Taut' Sanuie
and the German following and the
Kaffir girl bringing up the rrar.
"Ol*" said Tant' Sannie, "I see now
it wasn't "wickedness him do
without his wife so long, .only neces
sity."
At'the ddor she motioned t*» the Ger
mau to entn-r and followed hlin closely.
Ou the.stretchor behlncftthe sackstßuna
parte lay on his face. Mis head pressed
Into a pillow, his legs kicking gently.
The Boor woman sat di vwu ou, a box at
the foot of the bed. Th oiGerman stood
with folded bands lookl pg on.
"We must all die," sa' M Taut' Sannie
at last. "It is the dear Lord's will."
Hearing her voice, lit jnaparte turned
hituself on to his back.
"It's very hard," sa ill Tant' Sannie,
"I know, for I'w lust two husbands."
Bonaparte pp into the Ger
"ill '••hat dies r-he say? Speak to
mc v. ,-rUs of comfort!"
Tin- U«nuo repeated Taut' Saunle's
remark.
"Ah. I—l also, two dear, dear wives,
whom I shall never sec any more!"
cried Bonaparte, flinging himself hack
upon the bed.
He bowled until the tarantulas that
lived between the rafters and the zinc
roof felt the unusual vibration and
looked out with their wicked bright
eyes to sec what was going on.
Taut' Saunle sighed; the Hottentot
maid sighed; the Kaffir girl, who look
ed in at the door, put her hand over
her mouth and said, "Mow-wah!"
"You must trust in the Lord." said
Tant' Sannie. "He can give you more
than you have lost."
"I do, I do!" he cried. "But. oh. I
have no wife! I have no wife!"
Tant' Sannie was much affected and
came and stood near the bed.
"Ask him if he won't have a little
pap—nice, fine, flour pap. There is
some boilius on the kitchen fire."
The German made the proposal, but
the widower waved his hand.
"No; nothing shall pass my lips. 1
should be suffocated. No. no! Speak
not of food to me!"
"Pap and a little brandy in." said
Tant' Sanuie coaxiugly.
Bonaparte caught the word.
"Perhaps, i>erhaps—if I struggled
rritl: myself—for the sake of my duties
I might imbibe a few drops," he said,
looking with quivering lip up Into the
German's face. "I must do my duty,
must I not?"
Tant' Saauio gave the order, and the
girl went for the pap.
"I know how it was when my first
husband died. They could do nothing
with me," the Boer woman said, "till
I had eaten a sheep's trotter and honey
and a little roaster cake, I know."
Bonaparte sat up on the bed with his
legs stretched out In front of him and'
r hand on each knee, blubbering softly.
"Oh, she was a woman! You are very'
kind to try to comfort me, but she wasi
my wife. For a woman that Is my,
wife I could live, for the woman that is
my wife I could die, for a woman that
Is my wife I could— Ah, that sweet
word wife! When will It rest upon rnyi
Hps again?"
When his feelings had subsided a lit
tle, he raised the corners of his turned
down mouth and spoke to the German
with flabby lips.
"Do you think she understands me?
Oh, tell her every word, that she may
know I thank her!"
At that Instant the girl ri speared
witn a basin of steaming gti.el au4 a
black bottle.
Tant' Sannie poured some of its con
tents into the basin, stirred it well ami
came to the bed.
"Oh. I can't, I can't! I shall die. I
shall die!" said Bonaparte, putting his
hand to his side.
"Come, just a little," said Taut' San
nle coaxingly, "Just a drop."
"It's too thick, it's too thick. I should
choke."
Taut' Sauuie added from the contents
of the bottle and held out a spoonful.
Bonaparte opened his mouth like a lit
tle bird waiting for a worm &m 1 held it
open ns she dipped again fl'iTtl again
into tlie pap.
"Ah, this will do your heart good!"
said Tant' Sannle, Tn whose mind the
relative functions of heart and stom- i
ach were exceedingly ill defined.
When the basin was empiifd, the
vioitiivn —c h_ta grief was in ach as
suaged. lie lookcn ax T/nnr manure 1
with gentle tears.
"Tell him," said the Boer woman, j
"that I hope he will sleep well and that
the Lord will comfort him as the Lord
only can."
"Bless you, dear friend! God bless
you!" said Bonaparte.
When the door was safely shut on the
German, the Hottentot and the Dutch
woman, he got off the bed and washed
away the soap he had rubbed on his
eyelids.
"Bon," he said, slapping his leg. "you
are the cutest lad I ever came across.
If you don't turn out the old hymns j
and prayers, and pummel the ragged
coat, and get your arms round the fat
one's waist and a wedding ring on her
finger, then you are not Bonaparte. !
But you are Bonaparte. Bon, you're n I
fine boy!"
Making which pleasing reflection, he
pulled off his trousers and got into bed
cheerfully.

PRACTICAL FORESTRY.
How In Make Woodlands I'rofltnolCi
Wa»le lu Ordinary Lnmherlug,
The importance of good forestry in
tlii.-* country is becoming more appre
ciated not only in connection with ex
tensive timber tracts, but with the
smaller wood lots upon farms. Prac
tical forestry in the Adirondack region
as recently carried on by forest owners
under advice from government experts
serves to illustrate methods of manage
ment that are most profitable and
equally applicable elsewhere on cither
a large or a small scale. It appears
from the report of their work that
Bkm i
«tifff
BPRIJCE STUMP CUT EIGHTEEN INCHES TOO
HIGH.
losses through ordinary lumbering are
considerable in the aggregate. Some
of the items connected with unneces
sary waste are as follows:
Where the lumbering Is done under
the system of contracts and subcon
tracts. the temptation for a jobl«er to
do careless work Is very great. Unless
carefully watched he Is apt to cut un
necessarily high stumps, to leave large
tops in order to avoid the trouble of
trimming off the branches, to leave
trees lodged In hard woods and other
wise to fall below the standard of good
lumbering.
The principal loss arising from care
less lumbering is occasioned by (1)
needlessly high stumps, (2) large tops,
(3i skids left in the woods, (4) valuable
timber used In leveling roads and (5)
destruction of small growth in felling,
ski'Minsr and hauling.
Wnen the trees are felled by chop
ping. the stumps are cut at the point at
which the ax naturally falls when the
chopper stands erect. This is usually
al>out three inches above the ground.
The majority of trees, however, are
somewhat lower, averaging about 80
inches in height. The sawyers protest
against cutting low stumps, because It
tires their backs to stoop over. Expe
rience by careful lumbermen has prov
ed that such high stumps are entirely
needless.
\\ i e lumbering Is done under con
tract it has been the usual custom in
the Adlrondacks to cut only logs which
will scale six Inches at the top end.
Where timber is cut for pulp smaller
logs can be used, and many companies
which operate their own camps compel
ell. .nru>m cut logs as small as
five and often Tour luetics. -r» -.
age s./.c of the top log is nearer eight
inchc There are in some cases 4 to
12 feet of wood left In tops which is lit
for , nip and which is actually so used
by many companies.
The point will at once be raised that
the t 'ps are of inferior quality. The
reph is that many companies use this
material and that the total amount is
so great that it would pay to utilize it
even at only one-fourth the price of the
rest or the timber.
The majority of skidways are built
of spruce. It is the custom to leave the
skids lu the woods, and the owner
loses not only the stumpage value of
the timber thus wasted, but also the
advantage of future lucrement which
the trees would take on if left stand
ing
Destruction of small growth In haal
injr takes place on steep roads, where
the teamsters frequently scatter spruce
SFRITCK CUT AND LEFT BY THAMSTERS,
brush to check the speed of the sleds.
It often happens that all the young
spruce left standing by the choppers
near such steep roads are cut to supply
the brush for this purpose, and thf
stems are left lying on the ground to
decay.
The Sheepyard.
Not every farmer keeps sheep, but
those who do are often tempted in win
ter to wish the cows were all sheep.
They need no milking, no grooming, no
cleaning out of stables, but they do
need to be well fed In winter with good
hay. a little grain and some roots, and
they want pure water where they can
go to It as they please. The sheepyard
may be as cold as all out of doors If It
Is only kept dry and supplied with
clean bedding, and the sheep will be
better for a run out of doors In all
pleasant weather if the ground is not
covered with snow.
