    \ HER ONE I
J DAY OFF;
jt By May Everett Glover

She was such a little woman, and he
was a very large man. He first no
ticed her when the crowd began push
ing toward the reviewing stand, and
he could not help thinking that it must
be hard for her to kivp on iier feet.
Just then the parade wus heard ap
proaching, and again there was great
pushing, in spite of the warnings of
the policeman. The large man found
himself Just behind her. When the
disappointed crowd swayed from the
other direction, she was suddenly
crowded against him.
"Look out there!" he exclaimed to
the man uext to her. "Can't you see
how you are crowding this lady!"
Then she felt an arm protectlngly
around her. "Kxeuse me, madam, but
I am not going to let them crush a lit
tle mite like you."
Thero was such a free heartiness
blended will; anxiety in his tone that
•he laughed in spite of her Indignation
At the liberty he had taken.
"Thank yen." she said when the
crush was over and she had been re
leased. Si; locked up for the first
time into t! dark, handsome face un
der the widi brimmed hat, which sjxike
so plainly t.:' the west. "A cowboy,**
she though" "I suppose that he has
been one oi the rough riders."
"No than • < i ded ill a crowd like
this. I think tis a" Then he paused,
and his d. v eyes scanned her ques
tioningly. She felt her face flush.
"Excuse n have I ever seen you be
fore?" he itsked "Oh, I know you!
You are Aai:a! Meg pardon. I mean
Miss Reynolds Mrs. Rains' cousin."
"Mrs Bah >? <»h, Mrs. Rains out In
Washington Then you must be Phil—
-1 mean Mr. Edmunds." she said in sur
prise.
"Yes, Edmunds Is my name, but I
am Phil." And there was a twinkle In
the dark eyes "I am glad that 1 found
you today. I have your address and
wanted to call on you. 1 promised Mrs.
Bains that I would I wanted to any
way but iter I got here I" He
hesitated ; a instant. "Well, I Just
dreaded It lam not used to ladles and
never could get along very well with
them." He laughed bashfully.
"So you w ere afraid to call. I don't
think that 1 should have frightened
you, do you?" She smiled.
"No, not at all, but I didn't know. I
had an idea that )ou were very inde
pendent and wouldn't want to see a
rough fellow like me, and I didn't know
how you would treat me."
"Mrs. Bains wrote me that you were
east on business and would call to see
me and tell me all about them." she
said pleasantly. "Rut it was strange
that we should meet in this crowd and
you should recognize me. I was going
with some friends, but In some way
we misse l one another."
"You are alone then? Uood! 1 may
take care of you today, may I not?" he
asked eagerly.
She looked rather surprised.
"You see, wo are not strangers," he
said apologetically. "I have heard of
Cousin Anna for years, and 1 have
looked at your picture dozens of times.
Say, I like that last one of you with
that fluffy thing around your neck—l
don't know what you call It I wanted
that picture the worst kind, but Mrs.
Bains wouldn't give it to me, and
when I took It she made me bring it
back."
She laughed. Somehow she could not
feel provoked with liiin, as she would
have done with any one else. There
was a ring of sincerity In his tone that
made her feel Instinctively that she
could trust hhn. She was rather pre
pared for ids abrupt way, for Mrs.
Baina had written:
"You will find that Phil Is like a boy
and blurts out what he thinks. He Is
not at all usi*i to ladies' society, but he
haa a high opinion of women. My hus
band says he is true gold. He is quite
wealthy, and no one stands higher in
this locullty than he does."
"You may take care of me today. It
will be a re w experience. I am not
used to being taken care of." she said
afUtr a pause
"That is a shame. Do you know you
look like Mrs Rains, and she is the
only woman that I could ever get along
with. She is Just like a sister to ma
You see, our ranches Join, and I have
known the Rainses for years."
"I am glad that you know them. 1
have not seen them for so long."
"Th«-y want me to persuade you to
come along home with me. You will,
won't you?"
"I couldn't think of taking such a
long vacation. You know that I am a
business woman."
"Couldn't you have some business
»ut there?" he asked anxiously.
- "I might herd cattle," she laughed.
"What do you think of New York?"
"There wouldn't be much pusture,"
be said, glancing around at the push
ing, swaying crowd. "I have not t>een
here for years not since the year 1
graduated from college and thought
that I knew everything," h-? laugh
ed. "It seems as If I am nearly smoth
ered with ail these high buildings and
crouds of i oople. 1 will be glad when
I get back on my ranch again, where
I have r<x t>> to breathe."
lu some way she felt unusually free.
There was something about him that
made her feel that she was really being
taken care of.it was a new sensation
to have wane one help tier over streets,
on cars and pilot her through crowds.
Tie y lau: h<*d and chatted like a couple

"Here 1 had an idea that you would
iot be at all so. ,hie with a fellow,"
ie suld, "and I think tlint you are Just
ne. I am sorry that I did not come
round and j.et acquainted sooner."
She looked r.p ratefully. They were
alting for the exhibition of fireworks,
nd he had found tier a seat where they
>uld have a gi-od view and not be
»stled by the crowd.
"I certainly shall remember this
ly." she said
"I know that I shall," and there wan
strange look on his dark, handsome
ice.
"1 will think of It when I get lonely,"
ie said slowly, as if half to herself.
"Do you ever get lonely?" he asked.
"Sometimes. I think that there is
> place where a person can get as
nely as in a large city. Of course I
ive uiy work, but there are times
hen 1 feel it very much." Iler voice
wmtiled in spite of herself. "There!"
e exclaimed suddenly. "You are the
at person to whom I have ever ac
tow (edged that I ever got lonely," she ,
untied. ___
He leaned over and brushed a fallen
leaf from her hat.
"You see, this has been my one day
off, and U has spoiled me. 1 do not
often give up a day to pleasure."
They were silent for a few minutes.
Cheer after cheer went up from the
crowd the brilliant fireworks shot
high in the air, hut they did not seem
to see them.
"Do you know that" lie suddenly
paused "I vv ill pet lonely too when I
am on my ranch and think of you here,
and 1 Just can't go home without you.
There it is out!" he said impulsively.
"Anna, won't you go with me? I ha\e
never cared for any one before, hut 1
think 1 have been loving you lor years.
I have known it for a long time. 1
heard so much about you and 1 learned
to love youi picture, but whin 1 got
here 1 could not summon up courage
■ enough to call. 1 know that 1 am ab
rupt and not used to society; but, Anna,
will you marry me and go home with
me? I I do love you."
It w as nearly dark, and those around
were taking care of their own affairs,
lie leaned close to her. "1 know that
! it is a great deal to ask you to give up
! everything here and goon a ranch, but
j I will try to take good care of you and
i do all that I can to make you happy,"
| he said pleadingly.
She did not answer, lie waited a
' few minutes.
"Forgive me. Miss Reynolds," he
i said, a new dignity in his tone. "I
! must be wild to think for a moment
that you would ever dream of marry
ing me." His voice trembled. "1 can't
help loving you, but you must forget it.
1 thank you for the pleasure that you
have given me today. It will lie the
one bright spot in my life. I shall
often think of it."
Still she was silent. She was living
the years to come the days with her
books and papers, the lonely hours sho
must spend and the longing that she
would feel to have some one to care for
her in spite of all her talk of womanly
Independence. And then she seemed
to feel that protecting arm that had
been slipped so unceremoniously
around her in the crowd and the strong
hand that had guided her. She asked
herself if it had been only for a day
that she had been so taken care of,
and she knew that she would miss it
on the morrow unless She looked
up at the man who had come so sud
denly Into her life and In whom she
felt perfect trust, who would make
her life so different if she would only
allow him to do so, and then—she
slipped her hand in his.
"I'll go with you, Phil," she whis
pered. "I don't believe that I can get
along without you. I'll miss you so."
The flnttler'N Call.
"What Is the rattlesnake's rattle
for?" nskod the zoo keeper.
"It Is a call," he resumed, answer
ing his own question. "The rattle
snake with it calls his mate. A man
was telling me the other day that he
studied the rattle question last year in
the west. He said it Is mainly as a
call that the rattle is used, though dif
ferent sounds can b«' made with it, and
these sounds appear to have different
meanings.
"Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack a rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluekily, and while he fought
he rattled loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes, though they
fought well, were all killed.
"The rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotize birds, so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
as a call, he says, that the rattle Is
used most —a love call generally, with
which the male snake summons his
mate."— Philadelphia Record.
The She Couldn't Cash.
A handsomely gowned woman step
ped up to the box otilec of a Broadway
theater one night last week anil de
posited three tickets on the window
ledge.
"One of our party disappointed us,"
she said. "Would you kindly take back
one of these tickets?"
"Certainly." replied the obliging
treasurer, slipping the ticket into the
rack and glancing up expectantly at
the next purchaser in the line. The
woman tapped her gloved lingers im
patiently on the window ledge.
"Well?" inquired the treasurer.
"My money, if you please."
A cynical smile stole over the treas
urer's face. "Then you didn't under
stand that those tickets were compli
mentary," he said.
Just a suspicion of a flush suggested
that the woman had understood, and
she moved away murmuring "Really?"
There had been a wee circle punched
In the ticket, and the treasurer said she
knew well enough what that circle
meant. It was the trade mark of the
theater's complimentary tickets, and
the woman had been coming In on the
same sort of tickets for two seasons.—

(Original.l
On a railroad between New York and
Albany there Is a tunnel which forms
a link between two contrasting kinds
of scenery. Going northward the trav
eler passes through fiat, uninteresting
country shut in by hills; then he darts
Into a tunnel. When he emerges a pan
orama of the Hudson river bursts sud
denly upon his view. Thero before him
is the Tappan Zee, the broadest part of
the river, teeming with all manner of
craft, from a tiny skiff to an immense
steamer, while beyond and about tower
the highlands.
"Delightful!" said a gentleman slt
j ting opposite me the first time I wit
nessed this transformation scene.
"Entrancing!" 1 replied.
"I have noticed your expression," he
added sympathetically, "because the
tunnel is of especial Interest to me. In
i it came for me a transformation as
marked as that between its south and
north ends."
I begged for the story, and he gave It
to me.
"From our first meeting it was appar
ent to both of us that I >elia Pennington
and I were made for each other. Sho
was the daughter of an aristocratic
| New Yorker, and I was a young army
officer without fortune. When I asked
her father for her hand I was not sur
prised to flseet with a flat refusal. De
lia was not one of those willowy twigs
to be bent at the option of the holder.
She had inherited an independence of
character and did not propose that our
lives should be wrecked by any one.
She informed her father that she in
tended to marry me with or without
his consent, whereupon he directed her
to prepare for a trip to Europe.
"Delia was too young to openly refuse
to obey, and it was evident that our
affair must be managed clandestinely.
I was stationed at the time at one of
the forts in New York harbor, but was
ordered to report for duty on a certain
date at West Point. Refore leaving
I was astonished at receiving word
from Delia that she had concluded
to ot>ey her father and goto Europe, to
be gone three years. Time would show
whether we were so attached that we
would be of the same mind on her re
turn. For herself her heart would con
tinue as it was, but the pressure upon
her was so strong that she feared a
marriage of convenience would be her
inevitable fate.
"I replied to her note both coldly and
despondently.
" 'I goto my new i>ost tomorrow,' I
wrote in conclusion, 'while I believe
you sail In a day or two for Europe.
I consider this note a last farewell.'
"The evening before my Intended de
parture 1 received a note from Delia,
brought openly by one of her father's
servants, say ing that she would like to
send me a souvenir by which to re
member her. It hud not yet been sent
home, but if I would inform her by
what train I Intended going she would
send it to the station. I gave the train
time verbally to the servant. Taking
her action to be submission to her fa
ther's will, 1 had neither the heart nor
the complacency to write another fare
well.
"In the morning at the station tho
same servant appeared and handed me
a Imjx containing a little gold heart. It
gave me no satisfaction. Indeed, If
sho had told me that she did not love
me I think I would have the more eas
ily overcome my disappointment. I
boarded the train, which pulled out of
the station, and I began a Journey over
the stretch of country we have just
passed. It is needless to say that my
meditations were no more pleasing
than the scenery. I sat with folded
arms and head down, only occasionally
glancing out of the window As for
my fellow passengers, they did not in
the least interest me. Finally the low
hills on either side shut us in closer
and closer, and I began to think that
we must soon run either over or under
them. Then suddenly we struck the
tunnel.
"The few moments we were pusslng
through it were the most gloomy I have
ever known. 1 disliked tunnels and
never entered one without experiencing
something of their somberness. In that
dark passage it seemed to me was con
centrated all the sadness of a life —dis-
appointment, the consciousness that I
had been wrecked, blighted, lmblttered,
left to live without that which would
have made life worth living.
"Then there came a few seconds of
dawning light, and this beautiful view
sprang into existence. For the moment
my attention was drawn from my be
reavement and concentrated upon the
scene. Rut another matter immediate
ly drew it aside. When we entered the
tunnel I had sat alone; now some ono
was sitting beside me. I turned and
looked into the face of" —
"Delia?"
"How did you divine it?"
"No other transition could have com
pared with entering and leaving the
tunnel. But goon; explain."
"Delia to disarm all suspicion showed
her father her letters to me. The ask- j
ing for my train was also a ruse to
know when I would go. Disguised as ;
an old woman she had gone to the sta- !
tion, entered the same car as I and rid
den behind me, waiting an opportunit" i
to address me without attracting atte
tlon. When we entered the tunnel it
occurred to her to take advantage of
the darkness to make herself known
to me, and the temptation to throw off
her disguise was too strong to be re- .
slsted."
"And the passengersV"
"I saw several of them looking at us
suspiciously, but one by one they seem
ed to make up their ininds that ti y 1
had been mistaken. In a short time we (
were at West I'oint and before Ire- j
ported at headquarters had visited the ;
chaplain, aud Delia and I were made |
one." AM HONY DEANH.

punitive merits of .silage and shook
corn for wiii'.ering calves Intended for
beef production is believed by Profess
or Miimfonl of the Illinois station to
Indicate that there are at bast nine
advantages of a system of silage feed
ing over that of shock corn in tin- win
tering of rah s Intended for beef pro
duction.
First. The corn can lie hauled from
the tii lil and stored In the silo at a
time w hen little damage is done to the
K'lil by getting oil the biliil W hell ll Is
too wet
Second. The manure and litter inei
(lent to the feeding of steers where si
lage i-- tiscl jire in much inor, , nten
lent form to handle and pro'ialilv more
readily available as plant food than
where shock corn is fed.
Third. The <|ii.ilit.> of s'hiire anil the
cost and convenience "i feeding is but
j little, if any. affected by bad weather,
which in Illinois so freip.«ntly makes
it next to lnii>ossible to l'ee<l shock
corn to advantage.
Fourth. The calves in the spring are
in better thrift and tlesh.
Fifth. More rapid gains can be se
cured.
Sixth. In i.ise of an epidemic of
cholera or other contagious swine dis
order the pitrs as a factor in inim
ical production of beef may be elim
inated without any considerable 10-s,
which would be impossible in case of
steers feeding on shock or whole corn.
Seventh. More pounds of meat can
be produced per acre w here silage is
fed to steers than where shock corn
is used, even though the greater
amount of p ,rk produced In case of a
system of shock corn feeding is taken
into account
Eighth. A much larger proportion
of the meat produced Is beef.
Ninth. The corn may be harvested
earlier in the season, generally before
danger of frosts and at a season. In
Illinois at least, when other farm work
is not pressing. In speaking of the ad
vantages of the silo it should not be
overlooked that silage may lie stored

POULTRY POINTERS.
The best way to feed corn to young
chickens is cracked or crashed.
A good dust bath will go far toward
keeping fowls in good condition.
Clear, raw corn meal wet with water
is not a good feed for young ducklings
at any time.

Shcrrl* Sack.
In Shakespeare's plays the term
"sack" applied to wine Is common.
"Fherris sack," a term used by Fal
stuif, is "seco de Xeres," a name still
well known in Spain, from which the
wine comes. The epithet seco, or dry—
the "sack" of old English authoi - and
the "see" of French writers Is used In
contradistinction to the sweet malvol
sies and museadels which are made of
the same grapes. Wine of this sort.
It Is said, was introduced Into England
about the time of Henry VII., whoso
elose alliance with Ferdinand and Isa
bella was cemented by the marriage of
his son with their daughter. It became
still more popular In England under
Queen Elizabeth, when Essex and
those who sailed with him pillaged
Cadiz. In 15IW and brought home the
fashion of drinking sherris sack.

SAFE OPENING TOOLS.

"We have i .o! for opening safes,"
said the foreman of the machine room
of a safe factory, "that no burglar
could imitate even If he got them. But
it would lie one of the most difficult
things in the world for him to get even
a sight of them The tool room Is
guard' <1 as closely as a bank vault. A
watchman stays in it all night. We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must gi\e bonds and have the
best of references. The chance of u
burglar getting into our employ for the
purpose of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about.
"Very frequently we have hurry calls
for a man to open a safe where the
time (■!• " U has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
Von ean readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company it is an ess< n
tial thing to have the safe open before

man out Ik takes n wagon load of tools,
for he in.ist open the safe without ruin
ing the lock, and he does not know pre
clselj what the trouble is. He carries
a pho: graph of himself with our cre
dentials on it Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter how
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberies have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
"To mechanics in our business it Is
laughable to read that a full kit of bur
glars' tools has been found beside a
safe As I have said, it would require
an express wagon to carry them, and
