k PRICELESS LOVE
[Original.]
What pitfalls beset the young! All
my life I have suffered from yielding
fn my youth to a simple natural incli
nation or, rather, yielding just enough
to make my action a crime.
When I was eighteen, my mother
took into her service a little maid from
the country. She wore her dresses to
the tops of her boots, her hair in a sin
gle braid down her back. It was very
light, and her eyes were a pale blue.
She was such a demure little thing and
seemed so lonely sitting by herself in
her room all the long evening—for she
did not appear to relish the society of
the other servants—that I always spoke
to her ktndly when I wished her to do
anything for me, usually softening my
request with a smile. I gave her books
to read, such books as I thought would
Interest a simple young girl. She al
ways read them and returned them to
me without any comment in words,
but with such a look—l understood just
What it meant.
One day she came into the library to
do some dustjng. I was seated in the
great leather covered chair by the win
dow reading. I was to leave for col
lege the next day. She was going about
With her feather duster, giving light
fouches here and there, but listlessly,
as if absorbed by something else. Pres
ently I said to her:
"You seem distrait this morning,
Janet. What is the matter?"
Perhaps she did not know what "dis
trait" meant. At any rate, she did not
reply, but turned to dust a bronze
statuette, so that her back was toward
me.
"Come, little girl, tell me if anything
troubles you."
Still she gave me no answer. I got
up from my chair and went to her to
discover the cause of her silence by
looking into her face. She must have
heard me come up behind her, but she
kept on with her work. I put a hand
on each arm and turned her around.
Her eyes were filled with tears.
"Poor child!" I said.
I bent and kissed her innocent young
lips. Somehow I knew that her tears
were for my departure on the mor
row. Then It occurred to me that there
was something in all this that could
only lead to trouble, and, releasing her,
Without a word I left the library.
When I returned a year later, I found
Janet a little taller, her dresses length
ened to the floor, her hair in a knot at
the back of her head. The year had
brought experience to me, and I knew
better than before that I had trespass
ed on forbidden ground. I greeted her
kindly, but made it plain by my tone
and inaoaer that ther« vmß a social
gulf between us, watching her to see
If the change affected her. I could not
see that It did and felt a sense of re
lief.
I continued to return at vacation
time, once a year, noting Janet's i
growth from tl e child she had come :
to us to a willowy woman of nineteen !
iWhlle she grew, tali, she did not grow ,
robust. Her cheek was pale, and her
step was languid. On my return aft
er being graduated I noticed this es
pecially and spoke to my mother about
It, but received no satisfaction as to
tiie cause.
I went abroad to finish my studies,
and while I was away my mother died.
I wrote directions to clo9e the home
stead, leaving everything as it was till j
I came. It was not for two years more j
that I went back to the old place with j
a view to putting it in the market for i
sale. My mother had had an elderly
Woman in her service who was with
her when she died, and to her I went
to gain what satisfaction I could in
talking to her about the last days they
bad passed together. I asked her to
go with me to the little cemetery near
by and show me the grave. She did
so, and I was much pleased with the
care that had been given to my moth
er's resting place.
"What is that mound up In the cor
ner?" I asked.
"That is Janet's ©:ave."
"Janet's?"
"Yes. She died »o«n after your moth
er. When the houu* was closed, I took
her with me. tibe tad been long fail

"Janet dead!"
"She would como !»•*• every morn

Was so weak that I could not see how

day when she did not return at the ac
customed time I cam® and saw her sit

she did not answer. Bhe was dead."
I was looking at the little mound de
void of adornment. This girl had spent
two year 9 of labor, Ler life slowly go
lug out the while, that when I return
ed I might not fiud my mother's grave
fieglected. During this period I had
never thought once of one so devoted.
"Of what disease did she die?" I
asked after some time.
"I discovered that accidentally. She
guarded her secret carefully and I am
sure would not give me permission to
tell you. But I would like you to

for you."

time. I was far away In the library

DISPOSSESSED
fCopyright. 1902, by C. B. Lewis.]
Nynee Tak, the headman of the Utile
Tillage under the shadow of the <'hit
toor hills of India, had been summon
ed, and there w as a great excitement,
lie had been in peaceful possession of
ten acres of fertile land for tlie last
fifteen years, and for a decade he had
ruled over the 200 villagers. Nynee
Tak was a good man and adjust man,
and ofttimes men journeyed half a
hundred miles to ask his advice. His
word among his people was law, and
the British civil commissioner held
no court in the village. There had long
been peace and good will when the
summons suddenly came. A stranger
and a white man had laid claim to
Nynee Tak's acres, and the just man
was notified to appear at Neemutch
on a certain date and defend his title.
When he had mastered the words of
the paper, he was in despair, and when
he had explained them to his people
they cried out in indignation.
Nynee Tak had no papers to support
his claim. He was a squatter. In
wandering over the country he had
come upon this fertile spot and built
him a hut ami staked out a modest
claim. Others had followed him, and
years had passed, and no one had been
disturbed. Now, under some act of
government, a white man had secured
legal rights, and the old man realized
that there could be but one result—he
and all others would be dispossessed.
"I will go down to Neemutch and ap
pear before the sahib judge," he said
to his people, "but when I return it
will be to tell you that we must go.
Our rights cannot stand against the
laws of the Feringee."
On the date specified he appeared in
court. It was made plain to him that
he had no legal rights. No rood of
land on earth was free toman. It
must be bought and paid for, whether
on the mountain, down in the valley
or in the wilds of the Jungle. A white
man had paid the government gold for
this village site, and the villagers to |
the last man must go elsewhere.
Where they should go, where they i
should find other lands, it did not mat- J
ter, but in two weeks they must be i
gone. Nynee Tak and his people had j
cleared away acres of jungle and dug j
two miles of ditches, but they could J
not expect pay for this. They had \
lived while they worked, and what
more could they ask? The court look- !
ed at least for protestations on the I
part of the old man, but none came.
When he saw that any words from him
would be wasted, he simply lifted his
head and whispered:
"Great is the sahib judge. I will go
back to my people and tell them that
we must move."
A week later a lieutenant and fifteen
men from the garrison of Neemutch
were sent over to the village to see
that the order of dispossession was
carried out. They were Feringees and
had no sympathy for the natives. If
the villagers packed their belongings
and stole quietly away, well and good;
if they were Inclined to hang on, then
the huts would be burned over their
heads and the butts of muskets used
to club them into submission. The
sixteen men went into camp on a
grassfleld to the north of the village,
and the officer called the villagers to
gether that evening and read them the
legal notice and haughtily added:
"At noon tomorrow you will go. The
law says so, and I say so, and who of
you dares dispute?"
"We will go, sahib officer," humbly
replied Nynee Tak as he bowed his
head. "We must wander about to
starve and become food for the jackals,
but that is nothing to the law. At high
noon we will go."
That night the women began making
up bundles of clothing and the men to
gather food for a journey, and there
were curses, tears and wailings. Ny
nee Tak sat apart by himself and kept
his eyes on the ground, and, though
often spoken to, he made no reply. It
was only when the officer sent down a
messenger to say that if the noise in
the village did not cease he would be
gin driving out the people that the old
man raised his head and said to the
cursing men and weeping women:
"Hush! Be quiet! It is the law. We
will go, and we will not lay hand on
these men who mock us in our misfor
tune, but nevertheless we shall be
avenged. Seek your beds and leave
me alone."
A quarter of an hour later the vil
lage was quiet, and Nynee Tak picked j
up his flute of reed and wandered
along the edge of the jungle above the |
soldiers' encampment. As he wander- 1
ed he played soft and low music, and, j
though it was heard by the drowsy sol- i
diers, it soothed them. Back and forth
for a full hour paced the old man, and [
he smiled as he heard the rustlings in
the dry grass and the close thickets. '
By and by he returned to the village '
and his hut. Of all the people only
his wife was awake. She looked at !
him for a long time and then asked: |
"Have you been calling the cobras to
avenge us?"
"Aye, I have called them," he an- '
cwered, "and now let us sleep. At noon
tomorrow we must go."
When the morning came, the soldiers i
In the grassfleld did not stir. At 8
o'clock they were still in their tents; at
30 not one had appeared; at noon the |
people wondered.
"It is noon, and we must go," said
Nynee Tak as he lifted up his bundle.
He led the way, and the villagers fol
lowed him. His steps led past the
camp of the soldiers, and as the home
less people looked into the tents they
saw only dead men. The cobras had j
come out of the jungle, twenty, fifty, a
hundred, and bitten the Feringees as
they slept, struck their poisoned fangs |
into each and every one.
"It is the law, and we must go," j
whispered Nynee Tak, "but we have
left something behind to prove that
we once dwelt here." M. QUAD.

IN THE ORCHARD.
(«\er Crops of Two Kiml* unci Tlteir
Cum pa rati ve Ail vuu
There are practically two classes of
plants which the orchardist may use
for the purpose of securing a cover
crop. These are the nitrogenous class
on the one hand and the nonnitroge
nous class on the other. The difference
between these two is marked by the
y--: rfef, *■*(•••
COWI'EAS BROADCASTED.
power of tin' plants of the nitrogenous
class to appropriate the free nitrogen
of the air and store it up in their tis
sues in such a way that it is more or
less readily available to the succeeding
crops. Prominent among plants which
have this property are the clovers,
peas, beans and vetches. These are the
farmer's friends, the nitrogen collect
ors. Concerning cover crops and the
orchard, Professor John Craig of Cor
nell university lias summarized his in
vestigations as follows:
The orchard is to be viewed In the
light of a specific crop.
Humus is essential to the liberation
of plant food.
Barnyard manure supplies organic
matter, but is often beyond the reach
of the orchardist.
Probably the ideal system of orchard
management Includes clean tillage and
a cover crop in the annual programme.
Effects of tillage and of cover crops
are similar in many respects, but while
both tend to make plant food available
the cover crop may actually add to the
store.
The cover crop prevented frost from
penetrating the ground deeper than six
teen inches as compared to twenty-one
inches on bare ground.
The percentage of water In cover
cropped ground compared favorably
with bare uncultivated ground in lowa
and New York.
The texture of the soil and subsoil is
much improved by the burrowing hab
its of the earthworm and the penetrat
ing character of clover roots.
The cover crop prevents surface
washing and injurious erosion of or
chard lands.
A comparison of the fertilizing quali
ties of the clovers, cowpea and hairy
vetch placed the last far In the lead,
with alfalfa and mammoth clover sec
ond and third in manorial value.
Hairy vetch appears to be a valuable
leguminous plant for cover crop pur
poses. It is hardy, deep rooting, grows
at low temperatures and produces a
dense mat of vegetation on the surface
of the ground.
Cowpea is particularly valuable for
a system of semicultivation and as part
of a combination crop.
Of the nitrogen consumers rye and
buckwheat are of most importance.
Oats are favorably spoken of in some
parts of the country.
Certain mixtures are used to advan
tage. Alfalfa, mammoth clover and
turnips have given satisfaction, but
oats and crimson clover do not suc
ceed.
The cowpea is a Japanese bean. It is
a tender annual, a rambling, vigorous

grower. Its cultivation has been con
lined to tlie south and southwest, where
it is grown to some extent as a forage
crop, but generally for green manuring.
In the north its greatest value ia its
power to renovate wornout soils. It
Bhould be remembered that it is a hot
weather plant, and the seed must not
be planted before,corn planting time;
that it "goes down" with the first au
tumn frost and that on poor soil better
results may be secured by planting in
rows and cultivating than by broad
casting.
Fertilizing l Tomatoes.
The iiupression is quite prevalent
that the tomato does not require heavy
manuring. Experiments that have been
conducted at a number of stations
show that the tomato is a plant that
qu*;:kly and profitably responds to the
use 112 manures or fertilizers and that
the ma jority and yield are very largely
influence, 1 by the method of manuring
and fertilizing. Experiments conduct
ed by the New Jersey station have
shown nitrate of soda to be one of the
best nitrogenous fertilizers for this
crop.

There is no doubt that women who
have a talent for dressmaking have a
chance this year of rearranging their
gowns of last season very successfully.
Many a gown that has served for a more
dressy purpose is now being cut to a
walking length and mado to do its duty
in another direction. Many silk skirts
can be worn this year veiled with net
or gauze, and there is much excellent
looking lace, which is not real, that at
a very small expense would trim up a
bodice. The empire style of dress lends
Itself to renovation, forming an over
gown falling in an unbroken line from
the waist to the foot. Home of the
gowns with tight sleeves, last worn for
full morning dress, can be comfortably
adapted fur home dinner wear, the
bodice opening in a V form In front

A Storj of Grant Wfce® He Was m
"Pleb." at Wast Point.
There is a story told of General Graut
when a pleb. Just entered on
his lirst day in "pleb." camp. A first
classman who had noticed the boy's
strong bulid intimated to him it would
be a pleasure to have «him call imme
diately at the seniors tent. Grant
went. There is a rule at West Point,
which was a rule then as well, that any
cadet who asks another to perform
menial labor for him shall bo dismissed
from the service. The first classman
knew too much to ask his pleb. tflsitor
outright to do anything of the kind,
but here is the way he went at it:
"Ijtresume, Mr. Grunt, that you have
lived on a farm, and, this being the
ease, you have had undoubtedly a good
opportunity to note the effect of the
sun's rays <>u certain objects. Now, if
you had left a water bucket that was
innocent of holding a single drop of the
fluid out in the sun from its rising to
its setting, what do you think, sir,
would be the particular effect upon that
particular water bucket?'"
"I think," s«iid Grant, "that it would
get warped and leaky."
"Very good, Mr. Graut. You show
erudition beyond your years. Now, if
you will notice my water bucket, you
will see that It is as dry as a chip.
Now, by the further exercise of your
knowledge, Mr. Grant, can you tell me
by what means I may prevent the
warping and leaking of my bucket';"
"Have it tilled," said Grant.
"Very nood ana in, Mr. Grant, but
uote that you said 'have it tilled,' not
•fill it.' That necessarily means that
some one must till it for me. You have
shown so much acumen that I fear
to violute your prescription either in
letter or in spirit, which I should do If
I presumed to carry the bucket to the
water tank myself."
Grant tilled the bucket.
PROTECTION OF WORDS.
i Plfa For a Kent For Our l'niulllar
<( IIUtUtIoUN.
lii these days when everybody is
writing and everybody seems to suc
ceed would it not be well to start a
society for the protection of words and
phrases? Many of these are so bru
tally overworked by the amateur. The
winged words, the words that burn,
the thoughts that breathe, the telling
phrases, do they not clamor loudly for
a rest? That very sentence affords an
illuminating example of what I mean.
How apt, how vivid, how expressive It
would be if all its epithets had not lost
their vitality through overwork! To
the sated reader the whole sentence Is
but the echo of an echo. It not merely
means nothing, but it is robbed even of
its sound and fury.
The greenhorn that complained of
"Hamlet" that It was too full of quota
tions unconsciously expressed a great
fact through the medium of a bull. In
a wrougheaded way he pointed out that
constant reiteration has reduced the
grandest passages In the language to
mere commonplaces. Give our familiar
quotations a rest. Lay to sleep our
household words. Let fortune for
awhile cease to favor the brave. Let
us feign that the poet is made. Let a
man who would steal another's thun
der be arrested for felony. Let us win
no more golden opinions. Let the fa
tored few withdraw to some select se
clusion and the countless thousands to
some dry eyed privacy.
Thus may nouns, adjectives and
phrases, after a long rest, reawaken
with the freshness of the morning upon
them, their original meanings recreat
ed, energetic, effective, brilliant, as on
the day when they were first conceived
and brought forth.—Era.

Somebody has said that Paris is the.;
most beautiful city in the world be
cause it lias the most beautiful trees, j
It cannot be denied that a very great
part of the beauty of Danville is in
her trees. There is something about i
fine shade trees in a city that operates
for decorative purposes just as fine)
furniture, fine carpets and fine fresco !
work do to make the interior of a j
house attractive. Every man who owns j
a place, which is devoid of trees, j
should, even if the lias no eye for the I
beautiful in nature, understand that !
shade trees add to the value of prop- j
erty aud accordingly transplant some
to his bare plot of ground. Certain I
kinds of shade trees grow quickly and j
the ornamentation resulting is always j
a pleasing and restful sight.
What would Danville do to-day, ii ;
it were without shade trees? How
would its appearance under such eir- i
cumstances compare with its appear- j
auce now when the streets are fringed
with stately maples, attractive poplars 1
and ornamental shrubbery, with com- |
paratively few exceptions? Trees are j
not only beautiful; they are useful.
They provide a grateful shade in hot ,
days aud they have their sanitary uses j
well understood to science.
