When Dorcas Journeyed By FRANK H. SWEET Copu'toht. 1004. bu I tank 11. Sweet "I do hope the cars won't run off the track," said Hetty Sylvester an she put the finishing touches to her sis ter's costume und then stood back and studied the effect critically. "It's an audacious flying in the face of Provi dence togo switching off behind one of them engines that ain't like nothing human nor divine. But here's your Aunt Beulah down sick in bed and writ ing to us, and, the land knows, I can't go, with ail the farm and cows and cooking and three hired men here, ami they do say she's got si splendid house, with carpets and bathroom and all, and we're the only kin. There, I think that will do. Yes. It's a shntno we've never been to see her, and she being there twenty years, and the last live all by herself. Hut it's a hundred miles, and It stands to reason we couldn't go In a wagon, and I won't be switched across the land by one of them snorting rail road things that hasn't been in the neighborhood scarcely a year and folks «tlll Jumping just to hear them. Yes, that will do." And, stepping forward quickly, she dabbed a little kiss upon her sister's ear "Now, goodby. Ho sure and write soon's you pet there, and don't be set up by the line tilings In Aunt Beulah's house. I do hope noth ing will happen. But young folks liko to travel round and see things. You'll likely have a real good time, and it's a shame Aunt Beulah's at death's door and I never been to see her. But there! I must run back or the sweet pickle (Will plumb Rpoil on the stove. You look real pretty, Dorcas." And with this Involuntary compliment Betty Sylves ter hurried toward the kitchen, leaving Dorcas blunhing and frightened -blush ing at the unusual compliment and frightened nt the prospect of her first Journey on the cari. For a number of years Dorcas had had a suitor. At first he had confined his attentions to stolen glances across the fields and across the church and on rare occasions, when his manhood hud asserted itself, to elaborate toilet and a half hour's leaning against the S.i 1 Tester front fence admiring Dorcas' lIE WAN BESIDE THE CARIUAGE WHEN IT BTOrpED A.VI) HELI'EK UEIt OUT. posies and talking crops. Later lie had braved the front gate, generally with a straw In his mouth, to sit on the •taps for an hour In the gloaming talk Ing with Betty, but looking at Dorcas. On cold the hour had been passed In the cozy sitting room playing checkers nnd popping corn. Not a word of love had been spoken, but It jwas understood In the house and In tho whole neighborhood that John Baldwin was waiting on Dorcas Syl •venter and that some time in the fu ture, as they should deter »>ine, the two good old country families und the two iwell tilled farms would be united, pro vided, of course, John Baldwin's diifl dence ever allowed -him to get that far. As sho ran lightly down the steps to tho farm wagon Dorcas gave one quick, shy glance up the slope to where the big BuMwlu house stood half hid den by Its towering elms. Yes, there was John's buggy standing In the road before the bouse, and his fast horse could reach the station In one half tho time they could make with the farm wagon and old Charlie. Besides, Betty bad thought the hired man might as well kill two birds with one stone, so he was taking a load of produce along, jvhlch he would peddle after leaving Dorcas at the station. As she climbed up besldo Jethro, who did not offer or dream of offering assistance, Dorcas (bought how much easier It would bo In John's spring buggy t_»an In this heavy wagon, which Jolted and rum bled over the rough country roads. But still she felt very happy. Al though neither she nor John hal thought of such an audacious thing as bis offering to act as escort, yet the presence of the buggy meant that he Intended to keep somewhere In her vi cinity, to have an oversight of her safety; perhaps lie would even goon the train, riding in one of the adjoining cars. As tho load of produce included <'ngs and milk, progress would be slow, and tbey had arranged for an early start, but before half the distance had been traveled they heard th<> Ahnrp whir of John's approaching buggy wheels. As he flashed by he was bending over In ostentatious war ii of something under the sent, but be gave her a bashful Bide giam-e which plainly said: "Don't be uneasy, Dorcas. I'll see that things go right." By the time he straightened tip he was disappearing round a bend in the road. But the glance had sent a soft color to her face which lingered there through the long, rough r ide until tlnal ly sho wus aroused by a gruff "Jerusa lain! Whoa, there, Charlie!" They were ut the junction of two roads. One led up to the station a quarter of a mile away; tho other went onto the village, two or throe tlines that distance. Jethro was looking at her with dismay on his face. "What is it?" she asked. **Why—why—do you reckon you could walk up to the depot?" persuasively. "Taln't but a step. You see," apolo getlcally as he noted the surprise on her face, "Ben Pokey's wagon's Just turning the corner down yonder, and If he gets In town ahead of rne he sella his stuff, aud if I get in ahead of him I sell my stuff, and If I sell my stuff, like Miss Betty counts on, why, she ain't going to fuss at me much. See? Of course I'm here to take you to the deoot and will now If you say th» word, but it's bound to put me In be hind Hen. And 'tain't but a step." "Oh, I'll walk, Jethro," laughed I>or cas, and, placing a hand upon the end of the seat, she sprang lightly to the ground. "And you needn't tell Betty either." It was a very dainty figure that went up the road toward the station, and, though she did not know it, the rich, soft goods in her frock, taken from the old chest In the garret, had again come into fashion. A whistle sounded in the distance, and Dorcas uttered a low cry of dfer may. The train was approaching, and she had thought there was plenty of time. Could she make it by running V But a swift*glance toward the station checked the Impulse even as she sprang forward. The station was still an eighth of a mile away, and she could see several carriages driving up to it and people standing on the platform. What a spectacle it would lie for them to see a woman racing with the train! Besides, she could not hope to reach It In time. Jethro— There was the swift approach of carriage wheels, a pair of splendid bays stopped beside her, and she look ed up into the reassuring face of a young drummer who was selling mowing machines in the neighborhood. Before she was aware of his Intention be had sprung to the ground and lifted her into., the carriage and they were whirling away, with a long, circling cloud of dust trailing behind. "I >on't you worry, young lady." tlio drummer shouted cheerilj'. "I'll get you there all right." What J' hn Baldwin's feelings were as he st > >1 on the platform watching none but himself ever knew. lie saw Jethro stop and Dorcas get out; then he heard the train whistle, and he saw her start to run and realized that his place was down there on the dusty road by her side instead of with the curious people at the station. When the drummer stopped and took her in the young farmer's face grew hard and set with a firmness his lips had never known before. He was beside the carriage when it stopped and helped her out. Then quiet ly and authoritatively, with all the spectators looking on, he drew her arm within his own. "Come, Dorcas," he said, "we must hurry to catch the train. I'll get the tickets. Yes," in answer to her won dering expression, "I'm going right on with you to where your aunt lives —sit in the same seat, too, to keep off drum mers and things. And I shall stay round to come back with you when the visit Is over. Come on!" PITH AND POINT. A child is always surprised that you don't know the washerwoman at Its house.

The Tljcolou'cnl Labyrinth. Stephen Essex, a Methodist minister, is the hero in"The Bishop's Niece." His state of mind after his early wan derings in the theological labyrinth Is thus described by the author, Georg<t 11. Picard: At twenty-seven Stephen Essex had not made a perfect recovery from the panic into which a premature discov ery of the plan of salvation had thrown him. He had employed the remedies which are prescribed to heal our com mon moral Illnesses, but their abun dance and variety as well us his dis position to leave none untasted had re tarded his convalescence. Ills present condition was that of one who, though realizing that he has halted, almost miraculously, just inside the end of op portunity, is still fearful of doing something which will undo everything. Tin* l*lan«»t Mnr#». "I am certain Mars is inhabited," said Camllle Flammarion, "and probably by people much more advanced than we are. The year in Mars is twice as lout? as ours - that 1* to say, it really consists of 73u days. The public at large «lo»-' not really know the precl slon of some of our astronomical ob servations. Thus we know the length of the day In Mars by diurnal rotation to the one-thousandth part of n second, and from observations, which have now extended over ]<K» years, we find the length of the day on the planet is 21 hours 17 minutes 22 seconds. The climate of the Martians Is very mild; there are no gales, while tho atmos phere Is very light, with scarcely any clouds. The Inhabitants enjoy fine weather, the climate being dry and clear. We know the globe of Mars per fectly; in fact, far bettor than the earth." Th«» Word "Invention." The old, general meaning of the word "invention" seems strange to modern eyes and ears. "Invention" signifies simply "finding," though the meaning of discovery has been specialized away from it in modern speech. Tims Hook er wrote of "that judicial method which seemeth best for the Invention of truth." When Burton wrote of "tho invention of a geometrical problem" he meant its solution In the seventeenth century the circulation of the blood was described as "the best and most useful Invention of this latter ago." and In the eighteenth century I )r.

SWEET V' M V; ( I9()S,hii l'nink 11. Sirrtt >.i As the factor's patrol, as it was called, emerged from the trees a man came from the c-.bln, a man as strong and powerfully built as Kaoul, the leader. He was followed by several dogs, which made straight for the stranger. "Here, you come back!" the man called. Then, as the dogs obeyed, ho advanced with outstretched hand ami the greeting: "Glad to see you, stran gers. You're the first outside faces since Iran across one of your trapper hunters, nearly a year ago. I like soli tude, but not too much of It." Kaoul made a grimace. 110 wished the man had shown a hostile front. It would be better to disclose their er rand at once. "We have come"— he began, but was cut short by the cordial grasp of the man's hand. "I see, to have some hunting. Well, this valley has plenty of It, and you're welcome. I'm sorry my cabin's so small, but it's just about as pleasant outside now. You must make your camp right between the cabin and stream, so we can be neighbors. But pardon me, my name's Jean Leblanc." lie waited inquiringly, and perforce llaoui answered. "You may call mc Raoul. And these," pointing to his men one after the other, "are Jacques, Lou- Is, Pierre, Octave, Henri and Prosper." "All good French names," approv ingly. "Well, Itaoul, if you and these friends are not too tired I would likr yon togo along with us after the big gest bear I ever saw. lie killed a dog this morning, and we ran him Into n thicket of small pines. One of my youngsters Is watching now. I canif back after more ammunition, and wf were all starting out Just as you np peared. You can make camp after ward. Of course there Is no real need for your help," jovially, "but you may as well l>e in with the fun. Walt n minute while I hurry up the young eters, though. They're all going, and every last one of them Is as good n hunter as I am." Laughing heartily, "YOU SEE, I —THAT IS, TOISETTE AND 1 HAVE TALKED XT OVKB." he walked back toward the cabin, call ing, "Oh, Tolnette, Marie, Josephine! We're waiting!" Kaoul had turned to his companions. "Might as well, I suppose," he said. "It will not take long, and I may have a better chance to tell the man that he must leave the country. At any rate, It will get us away from the cabin and the man's wife. I don't like making trouble with women." "But there are the children," suggest ed Pierre; "they're going along." "Children don't understand as a wo man would. Besides, I can probably draw this Jean to one side and reasoo with hirn. l uon't want to De oWXgeO to burn his cabin and use violence." "Ils-s-sh!" Ilerre whispered sharply There was so much wonder and con sternation in the voice that Itaoul whirled quickly, following the direction of his gaze. Jean Leblanc was coming toward them, and behind him were th< children, five young women In neal hunting costumes of somo coarse, home made material, with rifles over thdi shoulders. The youngest was fifteen 01 sixteen. "Now, we aro all ready to start,' cried Jean Leblanc. "But first let int present you to my daughters, mes sleurs.

Now come or A Hone will got Impatient and kill the betr herself." 11l at evening, as tho men were sit ting by their campfire smoking, Pierre turned suddenly to Raoul. "Did you toll l.eblane?" ho asked. ltaoul knocked the ashes from his pipe and gazed thoughtfully at the fire. "No," he answered; "I did not find a good chance. Tomorrow will !*» time enough." The next morning the question was repeated In much the same tone, but tho answer was more impatient. "If you are in such a hurry to gui back, Plerri " l!:i ml added, "you may i irt by yoiu • !f tonight " And he rose abruptly and -ought his blanket. A woe!, later they were still there. Then one day as Kaoul was walking along tho bank of the stream, hum ming the refrain of a little song which Aiiene had sung the evening before, V -aw Pierre leave the cabin and come toward him. lie ceased the riumming and advanced to meet him.

I 1 shall be sorry to leave you, Kaoul, but ihls valley is the best place I ever saw'for u home. There is plenty of game and and"-- "Yes, 1 understand, Pierre," said Kaoul kindly. There was an odd look on lii-; face as lie added: "You may go, of course. Toll Jacques i want to see him." Jacques w as walking under the pines with Suzotte, but he came promptly at the message. "I want you to take the men and go back to the post," Uaoul ordered. "The factor will be wondering where we are. Tell him—what?" For Jacques was shaking his head and digging ids big feet in the pine noodles. "If you don't mind, Uaoul," ho sniil sheepishly, "I—l would rather you'd send Louis- no, I mean Prosper. Louis wants to stay bore. You s«*e, I'lerro is going after Father and Su zette and I" "Oh, yes, I see," dryly. "And Ixitiis wants to stay also. Is it Marie?" "No," eagerly: "It's Josephine. Oc tave has won Marie. They will be married at the same time." "And Henri and Prosper? Have they talked it over with Jeanne, and—oh, no; there are not any more girls. Which of them has spoken to Jeanne about FHtlier Leclere?" Jacques grinned. "Prosper has tried to,"he answered, "but Jeanne laughs in his face. She says she don't want any man. They need too much looking after. But, then, Jeanne Is young," philosophically. "She will learn better. Prosper says he will settle In the valley and wait." "So," thoughtfully, "there is only Henrt togo back, then?" "And you, Raoul," Jacques suggest ed. "Oh, yes, of course. Well, tell Henri to come here." Before Henri came Itaoul had labori ously scrawled a note to the factor, which read: My r >ear Factor I did not have tho nerve to force the Intruders away And, after all. they have as mu.:h right hero as *VP, and tho country is largo.

Music I ruler lllflleoltleN. The first conductor who played with a large orchestra in New York was Louis A. Jullien. One of his pieces was a "Fireman's Quadrille," during the performance of which an alarm of fire was regularly sounded and a brigade of firemen appeared in the hall! Theo dore Thomas was one of Julllen's vio linists for a time, nuil this may help to explain why he himself in 1807, when he gave his New York Terrace Garden concerts, once created a sensation by making the piccolo players clhnb up into the trees before the piece began. On another occasion the tuba player had been sent behind the audience Into the shrubbery. When he began to play the police mistook hlrn for a practical Joker who was disturbing the music and tried to arrest him. "I shall never forget the comical scene," Thomas writes in his "Autobiography," "as the poor man fled toward tho stage, pursued by the irate policeman, and trying to get in a note here and there as he ran."

Very strange to modern eyes would be the armament of Groat Britain's mediaeval navy, 'lhe very names of many of She implements of attack and defense sound queer. According to the books, ill the year 1.137 the vessels of the navy were furnished with "es pringali'.s," ancient spring guns; "bau bergcons," o >ats of mall; "badnets," small helmets; bows, arrows, doublets, targets; "pavlses," large shields placed nt t! sides and serving the iloublo purpose of prot etlon against the sea Mid against the enemy; lances and "firing barrels." As early as 1338 cannon formed part of the armament of ships, and about 1372 guns and gun piwder were c nninonly used. Among the stores I elonging to one vessel of that time were three Iron cannon with five chambers, a hand gun and three old stone bags, probably for shot. An other ship had an Iron cannon with two chambers and one brass cannon with one chamber. Among other Implements of war used at that time were "cannon paviors" or stone shot throwers and "murtborers," which were smaller and threw any kind of shot. There were also "basilisks," "port pieces," "stock fowlers," "saleers" and "bombards." The bombards were of hammered Iron, made of bars welded aitd bound to gether with iron bands. They threw Stone shot weighing between 140 pounds and l!i.j pounds. A battery of these erected on a slip of land at tho naval battle of < hloggla (1380) between the Venetians and the Genoese did great damage. They were loaded over night and wore tired In the morning. Frolssart tells of a bombard used at one of those ancient sieges that "might be hoard live leagues off in tho day time and ten at night. The report of it was so loud that it seemed as if all the devils in hell had broken loose." Brass is. 'nance was first cast In Eng land in the year l. r >3.">. The pieces had various names. Many of different caliber we; • mounted on the same dick, wlilih must have caused great confusion in action in finding for each its proper shot. i!e linen Mis Mail.
