» CURTAIN
;; FELL M
II ..... By Colin S. Collins
I I Copyright, 1901, by A. S. Richardson
If Bradley Evans had not been so
deeply In loTe, he would certainly hava
been angry.
The curtain had Just fallen on the
Thanksgiving matinee, aud the stage
hands were already clearing the stage
for the feast which Manager Evans
had ordered for his company. That
astute gentleman had personally su
perintended the preparations and ar
ranged every detail.
The stage was to be set with a dull
oak interior, ablaze with electricity
overhead. In the flies and at the foot
lights, with the front of the house in
darkness to heighten the brilliancy of
the improved dining room. Gor
geous chrysanthemums he had ordered
from New York for the centerpiece,
aud the menu was the very best that
j the leading caterer of the small New
England city could furnish.
Evans had Just stepped into the lead-
I ing man's dressing room for the as
; surance that his personal appearance
; was in keeping with the festal occa
sion before presenting himself to the
young woman In whose honor the din
ner was being given, Miss Ella Ran
som. He had meant to be careful as
to speech before that dinner, and after
ward, when the company was trying
to amuse Itself until the evening per
formance and to forget the folks
gathered round home firesides, he
would have a little chat with her alone
In her dressing room and put the mo
mentous question. Surely this little
act of thoughtfulness would pave the
way. He knaw in a general way that
she was a New England girl and that
Thanksgiving day was to such as she
the all Important festival. The theat
rical instinct in Evans was so strong
that even his own love story had to be
worked up to the proper climax. But
Miss Ransom with true womanly con
trariety set all his fine plans at naught.
When he entered the star's dressing
room In response to a muffled "Come!"
instead of facing a handsomely gowned
and smiling girl, as he had anticipated,
he Baw a forlorn figure curled up on
the sofa. Miss Ransom still wore the
frock used in the last act, and as she
straightened up she made a futile ef
fort to hide her grief with a lace trim
med bit of cambric. All the graceful
little speeches which Evans had been
conning for hours failed him at this
critical moment. He forgot the flower
decked table on the stage and the ac
tors who by this time must be hurry
ing from their dressing rooms to the
scene of the festivities. He knew ouly
that Ella waa in trouble and—he loved
her.
"My dear girl, what has happened?"
Alas for the cleverly worded pro
posal that was never to be spoken!
The tone, the gesture and the love
'MY DEAB OIRL, WHAT HAS HAPPENED?"
light In his eyes told their own tale,
and Miss Ransom understood. That
Is why a few minutes late* she waa
sobbing out h?r little heartache iu his
anus uuU incoherently pouring the
c«use thereof luto his ear.
"Oh. it was lovely of you, perfectly
dear, to think of this plan for my
Thanksgiving! But you did not know
how close you were bringing We ioduy
to my old home, Just ten miles
from hero, Upper I)aIton, aud I haven't
Hfeeii It for Ave years."
"Why didn't you tell me this, and In
stead of the dinner we'd have ridden
there between the matinee and night
performance?" asked Evans, gently
smoothing the golden head resting on
his shoulder. It was nature's own tint.
There was something genuine and wo
manly about Ella Ransom. He had
recognized this from the lirst.
"Oh, you sec, I wouldn't—b*—wel
come there," Th*) sweet lips quiver
ed again, and Evans felt In duty bound
to do what he could to put a stop to that
pathetic expression. Then Miss Ran
som continued:
"I—l ran away to go on the stage,
and father said he never would for
give me, whether I became famous or
not, aud he always keeps his word.
'And, oh, I would like to see mother
when I am so near to her!"
"Never mind, dearest," said Evans.
"I'll try to take the place of parents
and husband to you. And now we're
making an awful stage wait."
He bent over for a final kins, and
when Ella removed the makeup she
succeedod uitso lu hiding almost every
trace of her recent grief. It was a
smiling young woman whom he finally
led.to the head of the great table. After
all, he decided, ns he glanced from one
cheerful face to another, he would an
nounce their engagement at the close
of the dinner, and the company should
drink their health, and it would not be
such a bad climax.
But again were the plans of Manager
Evans sot ut naught. With tin* salad
course came an urgent smnmons from
the box office. Evans rose with m ut
tering* that did not portend happily
iof the souder of the message.
When he came back, however, the
expression on lila face hnd undergone
a change. He was smiling In a nerv
ous fashion. No one noticed two fig
ures which stopped in the shadow of
the wings.
"Ladies and gentlemen," said Evans
Impressively, "it gives me pleasure to
introduce two unexpected but most
wvlcouiu gucst» to fbl* tfcxntiw tb»
father and mother of our leading laay,
Mr. and Mrs. Ransom."
A girlish cry that would have
brought the house to her feet could
Ella Ransom have given It on the
stage, and then «he. too, was In the
wings with her mother's arms about
her.
When order had been restored and
the feast had progressed to tJie coffee,
old Mr. Ransom rose and unflinchingly
faced the merry crew.
'*l ain't much at speechmaking, but
I want to say right now that I've made
a mistake. My forefathers were of old
Puritan stock, and I can't get over the
Idea that the stage Is a bad place, but
I guess there's other business In this
world that's worse. Anyhow It's no
cause for a father to turn against his
child, and I've lost five good years by
keeping up this ill feeling toward my
girl. I want to thank you for the kind
way you've treated her when she's
needed the comfort of mother and
father, aud if you're round this neigh
borhood nest Thanksgiving come out
to the farm and have dinner with us.
My wife's a master hand at making
pumpkin pies. I guess that's about
all."
When the laughter and handclapplng
which followed this speech had sub
sided, Manager Evaus took the floor,
and in words not half so eloquent aa
he had rehearsed In private, but sof
tened by the happy family reunion, he
announced his engagement to Miss
Ransom. While the members of the
company had been making some pretty
shrewd guesses on the subject, they
were properly surprised and congrat
ulatory, and before Deacon Ransom
realized what had happened he was
standing with the rest drinking cham
pagne to the health of his daughter
and his son-in-law to be.
When the great day was over and
Manager Evans had tucked the robes
around Deacon and Mrs. Ransom for
their homeward ride and he had taken
a last kiss from Ella's happy lips, he
murmured to himself:
"Well, the stage business worked out
rather different from the way 1 had
plauned It, but the climax and the pic
ture were not half bad after all."
▲ Tireless Official.
A good story is told of Mr. nam
mond, former chief clerk of the British
foreign office. One day when he was
suffering from gout an officer called to
ask for leave of absence for his son,
who was a queen's messenger and aft
er several fatiguing Journeys was In
need of a rest. Mr. Hammond was sit
ting in an armchair before the fire
reading The Times.
"I suppose," said he, "he wants to go
out shooting?" "No," replied the visit
or; "my son is not in the habit of tell
ing falsehoods or making excuses. lie
wants rest" "Rest, rest, rest!" ex
claimed Mr. Hammond. "I never take
rest." To which the gentleman rejoin
ed: "No; I dare say not. With your
feet sinking into Turkey carpets and
with nothing to do but sit before the
fire and read The Times I dare say you
don't require n*."— From "Recollec
tions of the Old Foreign Office."
The Ancient Msnolartnrs of Copper.
The ancient Syrians and Phoenicians
are well known to have been active
traders in copper, aud they manufac
tured this metal into bronze by melt
ing it with tin- Learnivl antlounrles
attire us that the Phoenicians actually
came to England and to Ireland in
search of tin for this purpose, and a
tew years ago some curious bronze ar
ticles were found in several of the old
mine workings in Cornwall, which are
believed to have been left there by
that ancient people at a Ume when no
bronze was either made or used In
England.—Chambers' Journal.
Why the Wren Va Kin jr.
The wren is chased every St. Ste
phen's day on nccount of It betraying
the Saviour by chattering In a clump of
furze where he was hiding. It Is called
the "king of nil birds," because It con
cealed Itself beneath the wing of the
eagle when that lordly bird claimed su
premacy by soaring highest. "Here 1
am," snitl the wren, mounting above
the eagle's bead when the latter could
go no higher.
Enttelnir I.obater* to Death.
In the neighborhood of the Bermudas
the sea Is extremely transparent, so
that the fishermen can readily see the
norns of lobsters protruding from their
hiding places In the rocks at consider
able depths. To entice the crustaceans
from these crannies they tie a lot of
snails In a ball and dangle them in
front of the cautious lobster. When he
grabs the ball, they haul him up.
R COLLAR AND CRAVAT.
Ways In Which Ther Affect the Ap
pearance of the Wearer.
Slen who do not want to look any
fatter in the face than they can help
have an easy means of accomplishing
their purpose. Not all of them are
aware of the effect that may be created
by the fcru» of a collar or cravat
"The stout man who wants to look as
thin as be can," said a haberdasher's
clerk, "ought to wear a Uo of the kind
known as a four-in-hand. Preferably
it should be dark in color aud drawn
tight. That carries down the line of
the face and lengthens It to a degree
that tends to make the fnce look thin
ner.
"Another aid to making a own look
thin la In the height of bis collars.
Stout men Who want to look thin
should wear high collars and closed
ones. Any collar that opens In front
makes one look stouter under nearly
every circumstance. Such collars are
becoming to the thin men.
"The fat man should avoid the kind
of tie that has a horizontal effect. This
will add pound* to his appearance—ln
his t'uco, at leant.
"On contrary, this cross efTect
will wake the thin man look stout
Th*' broad senrfs have little effect on a
man's looks one way or the other.
When he wears them it Is the collar
that makes the difference.
"He should therefore see that he
wears a high one that does not open If
be wants to look as thin as possible,
whereas If he wants to seem stouter an
open collar will produce that effect for
him."
EnKllali Smuvglrri.
Smuggling was carried on with great
boldness in England a century ago.
When Bumuel Pellew was appointed
collector of customs at Falmouth early
last century ho found corruption tho
chief characteristic of the service. One
day be surprised a party of bis own
men attempting tp smuggle in a cargo
of wine in broad daydght. l'ellew, who
wan a oonsclentiouß man, BO worried
the smugglers that they threatened his
life repeatedly and posted bill* offering
a reward for his assassination. One
smuggler, who kept a public house,
erected a battery of guns to defend his
illicit goods, and when a sloop of war
exhibited what he considered a too In
quisitive spirit actually fired on her.
The vessel'* guns were too low to re
ply with effect, but her crew landed In
bouts, attacked the house In the rear
ood tereled it to the ground.
SILO CONSTRUCTION.
riaaa For Locatllg aad Weather
boardlng the SUo.
An Ohio man who has been advocat
ing the building of lath and oement
silos talis, in Ohio Farmer, how he
would locate and weatherboard thqin.
lie says: To weatherboard a silo 20
feet in diameter over 00 feet circum
ference must be covered, which, added
to a 40 foot barn width, makes IDO
feet to cover. If adding to an old
bam take the siding from the end and
Inclose the silo In a triangle, making
some extra stable and mow room, ,\nd
we find the space to cover shown by
the dotted lines in the first cut only
_ HaT
- ,^&to
I
<•'
silo inclosed i* a tsukoul
measures sixty feet, a saving of the
original weatherboardlng on a barn
end. A new barn should be built that
way, provided one Is not prepared to
adopt the plan of the second cut mak
ing a nice stable about the silo. Many
favorable comments are made by our
friends on these silo plans, but they
fear the expense and seek something
cheaper than the stable about the silo.
All are agreeing on the matter of
more protection from cold, especially
those who have small silos of the stave
pattern exposed to the winds. Rough,
open weatherboardlng is very little bet
ter. The natural and surest way to ac
complish this is to keep the silo warm
by the heat the ensilage produces when
fed to the cows by the air of their sta
ble circulating about the silo. It has
been a favorite plan to build some four
to six feet from the barn and weather
board that shoot or neck, getting in an
extra bill of expense for the supposed
necessary way to climb up the silo and
throw ensilage down. In almost all
such cases room has been accessible in
side of the barn frame at very much
less expense.
With the price of siding as high as It
Is now we do well to carefully consider
our plans before we begin work. An
SILO AND STABLH.
extension of the barn roof Is the eco
nomical way to cover the silo when the
gable to the barn is high enough to In
sure sufficient depth of pit Some have
made a great mistake by making
breadth instead of height, getting the
right capacity, but exposing too much
surface to feed from and for ensilage
to spoil over before beginning to feed.
Timely Work.
Now is a good time to trim up fence
rows and to burn the brush piles in or
der to destroy the breeding places of
rabbits, insects and weeds.
Cuttings of gooseberries and currants
inay be taken. Use only the wood of
the current year's growth, making the
cuttings about a foot long. Strip off
tlie leaves If they have not already
fallen, tie the cuttings in large bundles
and bury them in a cold cellar or In a
sandy, well drained knoll, or if the
cutting bed is well prepared and well
drained they may be planted immedi
ately, the bed being well mulched upon
the approach of winter.
Septeml>er and October are good
months in which to set orchards, pro
vided the ground is well prepared and
well drained and is not too much ex
posed to sweeping winds. Wet lands
should never be set in the fall, and
sueh lands are not fit for orchards.
Strawberries may still be set; also
bush fruits.
The I.arlnK Shape la • Hem.
I always want capacity In the hen. I
want length of body or depth of body,
says an American Agriculturist corre
spondent. The hen makes her eggs
from food, but there are certain places
where you do not like to have her store
her food. She has two places to put
her fat—namely, on top of her tail and
down under her tall. I do not like to
have my hen broad near the tail. I
want her broad at the hackle and tri
angular In lnxly. You can pick out that
shape In any breed. I should at once
dispose of any hen that began to bag
down behind, as that Is caused by al
most a clear deposit of fat
GRAPE JUICE.
In)' One Familiar With Frail 000
nln* Can I'nt l> (.rape Juiee.
In the manufacture of unfermented
grape Juice use only clean, sound, well
ripened but not overripe grapes. If
uu ordinary cider mill Is at hand It
may be used for crushing and press
ing, or the grain's may be crushed and
pressed with the hauds. If a light col
ored Juice is desired, put the crushed
grapes In a cleanly washed cloth sack
and tie up. Then either hang up se
curely and twist It or let two persons
take hold, ono on each end of the sack
(Fig. 1), and twist until the greater
part of the Juice Is expressed. Then

a«ula( Dairy Tlawu*.
A good method to be followed in
cleaning the dairy tinware would be aa
follows: Wash first with water at
about 00 to 100 degrees with a stiff
brush (never use a cloth for washing
tinware of this sort). The brush will
get into all corners, and when there an
any dried particles of milk sticking to
the sides it will scratch them loose. One
precaution always to be observed is
never to pour hot water Into a can till
It has been washed with warm water,
as the hot water cooks the milk to the
side of the vessel and makes the wash
ing more difficult. After washing thor
oughly with warm water rinse thor
oughly with warm or hot water In
which washing powder has been dis
solved at the rate of one pound to fif
teen gallons of water. After the ves
sels have been treated In this way they
should be rinsed out with a little cold
water to free them of the washing
powder solution. This treatment Is
much easier than'it reads. In fact, It
requires but very little more work than
when the steam jet is used and is near
ly as efficient.—Charles P. Doane.
How Past a Bora* Ou Go.
The many people who are interested
to know Just how fast a horse can go
will be pleased to learn that recently at
Readville, Mass., Lou Dillon broke the
world's record by going a mile in ex
actly two minutes. The last quarter
was gone in 0:20. The previous record
was 2:02%, made by Cresceus last sea
son at Columbus, O. It Is now claimed
that Lou Dillon will be able to lower
the record to I:s9—Kansas Farmer.
News and Notes.
The condition of timothy hay ou Aug.
1 was 02.2 as compared with 90 on
Aug. 1, 1902, 84.1 at the corresponding
date in 1901 and a nine year average of
84.7.
Reports Indicate nearly a full crop of
clover of medium to high grade.
The preliminary estimate of the de
partment of agriculture Is for a winter
wheat crop of about 410,000,000 bush
els, or an average of 12.4 bushels per
acre as compared with 1&8 bushels last
y«sr.
It is probable that If American celery
seed growers were as careful In their
work a« the French growers are their
seed would be as good.
The wheat crop of India Is reported
unusually good.
The Difference In Two Words.
Did It ever occur to you to think of
the difference in significance of the two
words "seems" and "appears?" We
say "it Becms to be true" or "it appears
to be true." Are those expressions
identical, or If there be a difference
what Is It?
There Is a difference, and It consists
chiefly In the strength of the expres
sion. If we read a story and say,
"That story seems to be true," we
mean that It has the semblance of truth
and we Infer that It Is true. If we
say, "That story appears to be true,"
we mean that the statements made in
It or the Incidents related go to show
Its truth.
In other words, "appears" refers to
the actual presentation of something
to our view; "seems" refers to an Infer
ence of our mind as to the probability
of a thing being true.
First True CM* In America.
It was a good man, Christopher
Sower, who made the first punches and
matrices and cast the first type In
America. The anvil he made them on
is still preserved. They were for &
German Bible which he published.
"The price of our newly finished Bi
ble, in plain binding, with a clasp, will
be 18 shillings," he said, "but to the
poor and needy we have no price.
John the Baptist sent the message to
Christ, *Art thou he that should come,
or do we look for another?' and Jesus
sent back word, 'The poor have the
gospel preached to them.' "
Sower's German Bible was printed
in 1748 and was the first Bible pub
lished in America In any European
language.
