Cunningham O 6*o*o*o*o*o*oo*o*o*o*o*o*o Mrs. Johnson, coming unexpectedly Into the dining room, where the new girl was laying the cloth for dinner, looked at her with a sudden inteutness. '"Haven't you been crying, Johan na?" she asked kindly, i "Ach, it iss not much." the woman said, a refractory tear starting down her cheek; "It iss that America so strange iss- and the city—l the cows miss—and the garden aud making the butter—yes." And her exceedingly blond skin turned red with the effort she made to keep the tears from com ing in torrents. Mrs. Johnson's eyes looked medita tive while she tried to think what form of comfort to offer. "I'm sorry you are homesick; it's an awful feeling; but cheer up," she said sympathetically. "I'll give the cook money for theater tickets, and you can both go to see that spectacular thing they say is so wonderful." Johanna smiled gratefully. "You so very good Iss," she said as she went : toward the kitchen. In the midst of his dinner Mr. John son thought of something and com menced laughing. "I had a most unusual order today from a customer down south. He or "T'M JOHN Bmnra," IIU HAIU dercd i whole Jisi of things, then waxed with 'one wife for a widower of thirty-five.'" Mrs. Johnson's eyes were wide with unbelief. "C'luuiyy Johnson, you cer tainly are joking! The man couldn't ipave' been so foolish as to be In ear nest?" "It wasn't for himself; it was for a country customer—a young widower with a dairy farm on his hands that has been going to rack and i.uiu sittoe his wife died " Mis. Johnson was evidently struck \vitfi an inspiration. "Oh, Charley, how would Johanna she suggested enthusiastically, "I she >vc|Ul<j do tinely—Ju»t fill tins "lull- if she would go," Mr. Johnson finished dubiously. "But if I seut down a piece of pink and white yellow haired perfection as Johanna I am afraid I would havo au order from every farmer in North Carolina and would be forced to opei\ q, mmrlmonlal bureau " ,r Do you know anything about the widower?" Mrs. Johnson asked at length. "Yes; Ilayes me a letter, and £.ivq a pen picture of his life from the Crndle to the grav-e—his wife's grave." he odded, with n grift appreciative of jtis w!t ; ><H.vs ne will absolutely vouch ror him and that If I can find a woman who is suited to the man he described it will be a good thing for her. By Jove, I believe Johanna is the $$ giua ultra—lf she'll go. uiie can't talk better English.^ ' "Oh, her little talk won't make any difference. Ire can stand it. You see, I'm able to stand your Latin or French, whichever it is- l pan never quite determine <r«m your. accent," ******* violin burden pulled the horses up under the shade of an elm near the door of the ladies' waiting room and handed the reins to his companion, with a sheepish smile. "Hold t)U to. th&se, Mr, Hayes. You me into this business, and you must help see me through. Do I look much like a fool?'' Martin Hayes, dealer in general mer chandise, chuckled as he took the reins. "Xo, sir. You are the personification of the gay and festive bridegroom - not an unnecessary of foolishness about yo s u. or course, the new suit iiud the rosebud in your buttonhole £re allowable as befitting the occasion, freest suit I had in stock, old boy. Hope she'll like it." Burden arranged his necktie with clumsy fingers. "Glad all this internal quaking don't show on the outside. There's tho train in sight. Gee! PoiPt believe there's ever a day made as ho(| as this." y*i made his way through the crowd around the depot and stationed himself where he could get a good view of the passengers alighting from the train. "I've been atald and have traveled in tne usual rut all my life," he com muned with himself, "but if this ain't acting like a fellow in a novel, I never read one." He kept on the lookout for a woman wearing a dirk blue dress and carry ing a suit case marked Johanna Gersler. Mr. Johnson had written that he would ■ee that the name was printed in large letters and that there would probably be no trouble as to ideutlty in a town where the incoming travelers were few. Johanna stepped from the train, her blue eyes looking as wondering aud as childish as they did whet} she landed in America six months before. She paused helplessly, and Just then Bur den saw the name on the suit case. He looked at the woman's face—its blond fairness an unusual style in a southern town—and the thermometer seemed to jump several degrees up ward. "She looks like—like—an angel!" he muttered. "She will be disappointed in me," and he went to her anxiously and diffidently. "I'm John Burden," he said simply. "You—you did want me to come?" Her voice trembled and he saw tears In her blue eyes. "Want you? Want you?" His tone gained assurance. "Anybody with an ouncg of sense would want yay to come 1 —anil to stay." he said, liis fnco radiant 1 as lio took the suit easo from her. I After the dinner with Hny«-s at the hotel ami the quiet marriage ceremony I in the hotel parlor they drove the five j miles to Burden's farm and reached I there just at the beginning of the long 1 summer twilight. The climbing rose was In full bloom over the veranda, and n flock of white geese were wandering through the gate toward the barnyard. *"I>o you like it?" he asked, his voice almost a whisper. "It is so much home." she gasped in her halting English, "even the cows that in the farmyard stand." He led her Into the house and paused before a sweet, clean room whose mus lin curtains blew In and out the open windows. "This is your room," he said simply. "Mine is across the hall, where I can hear if you get afraid and call me." His honest sunburned face was full of kindness, aud although her compre hension of English was limited, she caught a glimpse of his soul in a lan guage that is universal. "Take off your hat, little woman. I hear old Jenny putting supper on the table." He looked at the pale gold of her hair where her hat had pressed it tightly against her moist forehead, and he hesitatingly touched It with his hand and freed It from her temples. "I hope you'll feel homelike aud will grow to love the farm—aud maybe some time—me," he added timidly. "I like it all—and you," she answered softly. Tlair to ( tinnier. "Ladles and gentlemen," said the lec turer after bowing to the first round of applause that followed his introduc tion. "I propose thli» evening to address you oa the all Important subject of 'the training and rearing of boys.' It Is a broad subject that is demanding more and more attention every day. In the beginning, and in order to lay a broad foundation for the proper treatment of this great subject, I will"— "Excuse me. professor," lntwirupted the harassed little man who was almost hidden away in the corner, "but how many boys have you?" "Weil, er, um—well, the fact is, sir. I have no children at all," stammered the lecturer. "That's all light, then," said the little man. sinking back into his seat "I was nfeered'you had a few of 'em, an' if you had I knowed it was a cinch you didn't know nothin' about raisin' 'em.

STAG LEGENDS. Ancient Storlea of the Animal'* An tipathy to Snnlcea. There is no beast In the world to which moro legendary virtues are at tributed than the stag, partly owing to tho tale of St. Hubert, partly to a supposed antipathy of stags toward serpents, partly to a peculiar mass of gristle in the shape of a cross which Is found In the animal's heart. A whole book might be written on the miraculous power of the heart and the efficacy of different parts of him against the troubles of this evil world. Fouilloux. In the sixteenth century, gives a long list, aud Master Itobert Topsel fills page upon page with them, but our author In his solid English fashion Is chary of accepting such stories.

"Speaking of gambling," a mission ary said, "I know of a sect that re gards it as a religious duty, like faat ing or prayer. This sect Is the Hindoos. They one day In each year gamble like mad from sunrise till sunset. The day is the festival of the lamps, a day sacred to I.akshuu, the goddess of wealth. A tremendous lot of money changes hands In Lakshun's honor. All this gambling is done to test the finan cial success that will attend on each person throughout the year.

The Pittsburg district knows Daia roacb ao thoroughly and with his in comparable organisation he Is suob n favorite that it would be practicnlly useless to endeavor to say much more about him. The orchestra is practi cally the same as last year, but the programs will show considerable change, ej&braolog much that it new. ttife belief of the exhibitors tn the Exposition is m&olfesting itself more strougfy this year ever before. Some of the exhibits will be on a scale Of magniflcendi probably never equaled in any other exposition of even a larger else than that at Pitts burg.
