She was only seventeen, nnd sho had
never been out of Kidd's Valley in her

was full of tho indescribable flavor of

Sho exclaimed aloud with delight at
sight of the scenery.
Sho was not at all seasick on the
boat, but bought peanuts and munched
apples, ate green peas with her knife
and ipiestioned Mr. Kldon in a rery
audible whisper as to thn uso of the
linger bowls at tho steamer dinner

"What a wild girl of the wooJs!"

and aain he thought of his wife's

John Kldon was at the pier to moot
tho I'ortlaud boat on which his father
was expected.
Astrea ran up the gang-plank like a
kitten and stood ou tip-toe to kiss him.
"It's Jack !" she cried, breathlessly ;

Mrs. K!doi viewed tho new arrival
with consternation. Barbara, a grace

And hIio burst out sobbing.
"You're tho sweetest little darling

like no better fun than to go out West
with you aud settle on a ranch."
"But ranches cost money," isaid
Barbara,
"Then IM hire ont as a hand," said
Jack, rubelliously. "I'm good at
breaking horses."
"And I'd make tho bntter and feed
the chickens," Raid Astrea, joyfully.
"Yon aro two silly children," said
Mrs. Kldon.
Yet all of a sudden something
scorned to bring back to her the lost
aweetness of departed youth, and her
eyes wcro momentarily dimmed with
tears.
"Mamma," pleaded Elaine, "it will
hurt Jack if you oppose this thing
and Astrea loves him so dearly t"
"But there's Owcmtolino Ballersby,
with that great East Indian fortune 1"
sobbed Mrs.' Kldon, toru by conflict
ing emotions.
"What's a fortune," cried Elaine,
"if lovo don't go with it."
"Well," eaid Mr. Eldon, "then the
matter is settled. If Jack goes West,
wc all go West together. For since
Jennifer X. ((oldie's banking house has
failed, we're nil equally penniless."
"Hurrah I" said Jack, flinging up
his polo cap. "Then it don't make
any difTcrctico whether I marry an
heiress or uot?"
"I'leasc, toy lady," said tho solemn
footman, "there's a gentleman be
low; and when I asked him for his
card, ho said he never had one iu hi
house his principles was ag'in it."
"Oh," shrieked Astrea, who had un
conventionally peeped over tho balus
ter rail, "it's grandfather! It s grand
father, come back from tho West !"
"Another pauper to maintain !"
sighed Mrs. Eldon.
Old Jethro Black came smiling into
the group, leaning on a gold headed
enne uud woaring a suit of black
clothes in which ho seemed to feel ex
cessively uncomfortable.
"Yes," said he, "I've como back.
My brother, he's been took away at

me in comfort tho rest of my days. He
was a savin' creetnr, Hezekiuh was,
and there'll bo a nico littlo sum for
Astrea. It wou't be necessary for
Astren to take no situation uow.
Don't squeezo me so tight round the

You're been very good to Astrea, Wal

"We'ro glad to see you, Mr. Black,"
haid Jack, cordially wringing his

The old mini smiled.
"I shouldn't a bit wonder, "sail he.
Meanwhile there was a of gossip
all -through the Bar Harbor circles.
Out on the docks of whitc-wiugod

rocky slopes of Oreen Mouutain,

And Mrs. Eldon declared that sho
could not believe her c irs.
"Littlo Astrea an heiress!,' ttid
she. "It's liko a dream?"
Auiti old Jethro smiled.
"Astrea is a fortuno in herself,"

Kuriii uud Home,

In a little Mexican town on the
south bank of the llio (ira n Jo there
U a go d-sled c hurch with a Hat roof.
A large number of cactus seed had
lodged in the dirt on the roof, and Id
the course- of time there was quite a
crop of cactus up there. Now it 1
the custom In Mexico when they
want to destroy cactus to first burn
olT the thorns, and ther fhe cattle
will eat tho plant. Tin ple bo
cuu.c tired of neclng the plants cn
the church roof aud he'd a town
meeting to deliberate Finally a
man clliukcd up to the roof and In
two days had burned off all tho
thorns from the stalks. Next a cow
wus hoisted to tho r of, and in less
than a week the cactus was all eaten
and the cow was lowered to the
earth again. Tim people were de
lighted with the result and now point
with prldo to their church.
Facte as to Curve I'lK htna-.
There arc some people still left who
refuse to believe that a baseball can
travel out of the straight line be
tween the pitcher's box and the home
I lato on its way to the catcher. It
has been proved again and again
that a ball can be "curved" by a now
well-known experiment.
Two stakes aro set up so that the
pitcher standing behind one cannot
hit a mark cn the left side of the
other In a straight line, the ball
passing to the right of the first. In
deed, a short while age a noted col
lege pitcher was offered 11,000 by an
old gentleman of his acquaintance If
ho could prove to his satisfaction
that a baseball could be pitched In a
curve.
Tho pitcher at once set up two
stakes in his bick yard and curved
tho ball around them In fine style.
But the old gentleman Insisted that
the whole thing was an optical de
lusion, and is no more convinced
than ever.
Every boy knows how nard it Is to
bat an "out-curve" or a "drop," and
after he has struck ou. a few times
wants no one to prove to him there
Is such a thing as curve pitching.
There Is little use In trying to ex
plain the theory of this performance
here, as many scientific pacers hav
written on It, which, after all, would
not help a man to tosa a tennis ball.
The final twist given the ball as If
leaves the hand makes a spinning
motion, so that there Is more resist,
ance by the air on one side or the
other, and the ball Is forced out of
tralght line by unequal pressure on
one of Us sides.
A Lively Murro,
Rest to a cat there Is nothing so
tough and tenacious of life as a Hock
Mountain burro, and some of the
tales told about this little animal are
marvelous. One day as the express
train was running Into Santa Fe, N.
M., the engineer spied a burro walk
ing on the track. He whistled and
lowed up, but the burro Ignored all
tlgnals, and In consequence was
knocked about thirty foot ahead of
the train. One hoof still lay on the
track, and the engineer, coming to a
Itop, got out with his fireman to
push the carcass Into the ditch. Each
eized a leg, but beforo they could
bcave the burrow scrambled to his
feet, planted a couple of kicks on the
two men, Jumped the ditch and was
off. On the neit trip tho burro was
teen, a little stiff In one leg, but
otherwise uninjured.
Tb Prince' Hold Inlaid Cot.
England's new baby prince has a
gorgeous layette. The queen has
made a historical addition to It In
the ahape of a delicate batslnot
covered with rich white satin, having
over it a filmy veiling of fine honlton
lace. It is tho ordinary old-world
shape, not hanging and without
rockers.
Thete Is an Inscription on a silver
plate giving the history of this inter

as follows : 'This bassinet was made
for Trlnccss Victoria lioyal In 1840
and was used by nil her majesty's
children and was given by the queen
to the Duchess of York in 18'J4."

A young man just home from col

sister with awe for his learning,
pointed to a star and said:
"Do you see that bright littlo
luminary? It's bigger than this
whole world.
"No, 'taint," sai l she.
"Yes, It Is," declared the young
collegian.
"Then why don't It keep off the

THS OLDER BOSTON.
The English Town After Which Oar Mod
ern City Is Named.
Few of the thousands of people
who look upon Boston, In Massachu
setts, as one of the finest cities on
the continent (and therefore as one of
the finest In the world) are aware of
the existence of a much older town
of the same name from which our
modern city took Its name. Is Is
over in England and, though now but
- l aleenv town, was at nnn Mm a nno r,f
the foremost clt
lesof England. It
'was founded In
057 by St Botolph,
a Saxon priest,
and was named
St. b o t o 1 p h's
town, which was
subsequently cor
rupted into Bos
ton. In the thtr-
a a t tat
JOHS o.'TToW. icon hi cuutury ID
paid more taxes than any other town
In England, with ono exception, and
It continued to prosper until Queen
Bess' time, when the mouth of tho
river Wlthani, which Hows through
tho town, dried up and as a conse
quence its commerce was destroyed,
Tho oldest edlflco in town is St.
Botolph's Church which was built
early In tho 12th century. At tho
time tho l'llgrini Fathers landed at
Plymouth Bock, this church was pre
sided over by Uev. John Cotton, an
eccleslast of great learning and much
loved by tho people. Believing that
the new country offered him a better
Held for work Cotton sailed hithet
with se.voral other good Englishmen
and landed In Massachusetts bay.
Hero they founded a new town and
TH OLD BOSTON cucncu
named It Boston, out of respect for
John Cotton, the first pastor of the
first church to have an existence In
the Boston of the new world. Mr.
Cotton lived to a good age, dying In
1032, honored by tho whole colony.
His old church In Boston, Eng., still
stands and Is an object of much in
terest to travelers. In 1H.15 the peo.
pie of the American Boston restored
the old church to a good condition
and placed In It a tablet com
memorating the virtues und services
of John Cotton.
