Kaatment C I "Martha ai<> you there?" called Farmer Milton from the back door step. What is it, pa?" asked his wife as the appeared with a disli in her hand. There's Jim Thomas coming down the road." "Well, what of it?" "He look* all dressed up." "lie's probably going to a dance Hoinewhere." "He's probably coming right here to see our Minnie." "Then he'll have greased his boots for nothing Minnie ain't wonting hor time 011 110 such fellows as Jim Thomas." The farmer had more to say, but be fore he eoiiiil say it Jim Thomas hod arrived He was a young man of twenty five who had no particular oc cupation, but traded horses, helped to put up windmills and now and then acted as a piano agent. He sat down beside the farmer, reached for his jackknlfe and a stick and proceeded to whittle and talk. Mrs. Milton came to the door to shake the tablecloth aud gave him a nod, but during the two hours he remained he saw nothing of Minnie. He seemed much disappointed. When he had departed the farmer en tered the sitting room and said to the wife: "Look a here, Martha, what's the use In hurting a fallow's feelings?" "What fellow?" "Jim Thomas, of course. You didn't say three words to him, and Minnie didn't appear at all. It was a reg'lar snub, and 1 felt sorry for him." "Then your sympathies aro wasted. I want to tell you that Jim Thomas is a sneak, and If Minnie ever speaks to him again I'll box her ears, though she is going on nineteen years old." The farmer sat down and pulled off his bt>ots. "Martha," he began, "I've kuown for two weeks that there was something up and that Minnie and you were keep ing It from me. Now. then, I want to know all about it. Jim Thomas was down in the lot where I was at work today, and lie had just begun to tell me that Minnie ,nd Ibirt Anderson were mad at each other when Klder Davis came along and hung around so long that Jim had t > go before finishing tils Btorx You might as well tell me the whole storj'." "I told you Jim was a sneak," an swered the wife. "If he hadn't been there wouldn't have been any fuss be tween Minnie and Hurt, and If he hadn't been he wouldn't have shown his face here tonight." "This seen s to be a 'tarnal nice how dydo two folks engaged lo be married and lighting like cats and dogs. What's the row about?" "Nothing but Hurt's Jealousy. Min nie wrote hor name in an autograph album, and Burt found it out through Jim Thomas and gave her a blowing up al. nit it. She I hack, and he got mad. and that's tlie reason he hasn't been here for the last two weeks." "What in thunder is an aw-to-graff album?" asked the husband after think Ing for a minute or two. '"lt's a b 10k that folks write their names in.and you needn't swear about it. It belotr-ed to a summer boarder down at Scott's." "And ail she did was to write her name in it?" "That's ail. though Jim made Hurt believe the fellow was struck on Min nie and said -lie had eyes like a sloe." "Wli it sjit of a critter Is u sloe?" "I don't know, and I don't care, and I want to till you that you are not to mix Into this business." "Hut ain't I her father, and ain't It my business togo to Hurt Anderson and tell liiin th at Minnie is a hundred times too pood for him." "No sir, it ain't! Abijali Milton, you are a thh4 headed man, and you nre so nearsighted that you run against fences. If yon had your way you'd spoil your only daughter's happiness forever. Non are not going to have "your waj You are going to fold your arms and keep still and let me work this thing out myself. "By thunder, Martha, but"— "Swearing some more! No wonder y■■•ll have become afraid of lightning! Swearing won't help you, however. You have £,ot to do as I say. If Jim Thomas conn's around again you can talk about windmills all you want to, but don't taik about Minnie. If you see Burt Anderson use him Just as you al ways have. The rest can be left to me." "And what'li you do?" asked the hus band and father. "You wait and see. If you don't see Hurt Anderson around here in less than two weeks then my name wasn't Mar tha Tompkins before I married you, and I didn't take a prize selling the whole school down." "I don't 'o how" Hut she Inter rupted h yitig it was time to wind the doi . i goto lied, and during the in !• »1. y-j she resolutely refused to : nsi t i word whenever he ap pre In I t • subject.

"Perhaps I'll tell you this eveulng. I'on't bother me now, as I've got three pans of milk to skim." I inner Milton had no sooner left the house for the fields next morning than his wife be. in lixing up a crock of butter for the village grocer, whllo Minnie harnessed the old horse to the democrat v ■u< 111 and pot ready to drive to town "Now.

'"No. but «!«• you suppose"— "There is no supposing about it. I am your mother, and 1 am no spring chicken. Now goon with you." Hurt Anderson was working in the cornfield that morning within two rods of the highway when ho caught the pounding of hoofs and the rattle of wheels and looked up to see Minnie Milton driving by lb* dropped his hoe and opened tils mouth to call, but she struck the horse with the wldp as if to hurry on. lie couldn't say that she saw him, but he thought she did, and tiie thought hardened his heart. Ib had forgiven tier "sass" days and days ago and was ready to "make tip," but tiiis action on her part showed that she was .punishing him. From then until 3 o'clock in the afternoon the young man managed to lioe about twelve hills of corn. The rest of the time was spent in sulking or sitting on the fence and looking down the village road. His waiting and sulking was rewarded at last. A mile away arose a cloud of dust kicked up by old Charlie's feet, and as it drew nearer and nearer the young man prepared to drop off the fence and hide. Minnie should not have the pi isure of flouting him again He was on the ground when he heard a woman's screams for help. He heard the hoof boats of a horse on the gallop, lie heard the clatter of a rickety old one horse wagon. It was a runaway. F.urt Anderson saw that it was the instant lie got his head above the fence. It was Minnie returning home. The lines had fallen under the horse's feet, and she was standing up and swaying from side to side and screaming. There was a hero and a rescue. There were explana tions. There was 110 apology to old Charlie, though lie certainly deserved one. "No, I'm 110 spring chicken!" observ ed fanner Milton's wife to herself sis she stood "t 1"i" g;«to and saw that liurt Anderson was driving Minnie home and that Minnie's red cheeks had come back to her. "Say, now, but how diil you manage it?" whispered the husband to the wife that evening as the two lovers had the piazza to themselves. "Manage what?" was the reply iu a puzzled voice. "A 1 >i j;ifi Milton, you are the most thick hwuled man I ever saw. I low did I manage it'. Just is if I"« 1 be >:i managing something -<•<>.i spiring air', plotting and all that sort of thing!

Banta Zita, as the patron saint of the cooks Is named, lived, it appears, at Genoa aud was there canonized. She eould, so runs the legend, cook better thau any chef within 300 miles of the town, which, we all know, is noted for Its wonderful soups and dumplings, though of course in the latter indi gestible article of food outrivaled by Vienna, since it is one of the chief ar ticles In the religion of gastronomy that It is only in the kaiserstadt that the "glose" is in perfection. Santa Zita was, it seems, not less famous for her piety than for cooking and was a constant attendant at the cathedral during high mass. One day, however, she fell into a trance, so called though, in plain Eng lish, a good, sound sleep and quite forgot that she had to produce sin ex ceptionally tine dinner for a large com pany On awakening she hurried forth from the sacred edifice In a way which was far Indeed from her wont, but on reaching the kitchen what was her surprise and delight to find a party of cherub celestials busy cooking there quired dinner. She <lid not interfere, but was at first not unwilling to accept the praise which was lsn i ■•lied on her culinary success. She soon repented, however, and told the world the truth about the spiritual and miraculous help she had received, and it was agreed 0:1 all sides that she deserved to l>e canon lzed. Accordingly she became Santa Zita, I „omlo:i Queen.

She was a geulle girl, so unassuming that her dark prettiness was more unno ticed than it deserved to be. It had been long since John had come to see her in tin- old friendly fashion of the time before Uose I.isle moved to their town. The girl gave another touch to her smooth hair. Iler mother stood watching her and then remarked: "Mrs. Dent told me today that John and Hose have been out for over a month. He has just come home. If a quarrel wKh Hose is all that sends him to you, I should think that"— Elsie wheeled impatiently. "Mother, John and 1 have always been good friends, and 1 shall not ques tion any motive that.brings him to see me. 1 shall alw ays bo the same to him. You can't expect a man so deeply In love as he is with I.to be regular In his attention to 1.: - girl friends. And no one co;.. • help loving a beauty like Uose. She's good too." Elsie grei ted John as if she had seen him yesterday and soothed his evident ly overwrought mood with a gentle, had laughing tact, lie was tall and blood, with line blue eyes which to- wvre clouded, and his face was a 1 i*.ll • - careworn. Sometimes he gave random answers as if he had not heard what she said. Alter a half uneasy hour of the March twilight he turned •» > h -r in awkward masculine gratitude for her patience with him. • Elsie, am 1 keeping you iu?

Elsie put on her cloak and little red <-ap. and the two young people started aw ay. Rose lived not far from them, and as they passed tile house both could not avoid what they saw. I'roni the broad front windows the light streamed brightly. The shades were not drawn. Rose sat at the piano, and over her in rapt attention stood Norman Cady. John almost dragged Elsie past, though he said nothing, lie did not know that he gripped her arm till it hurt and that he was walking at a pace that would have put a less healthy girl than Elsie utterly out of breath. it was a raw night, with a sharp wiiul. The moon was high and eold, and the sky was streaked with flying clouds. The road was good, and they walked on and on, out of the town and aloug the river road. The girl was un willing to disturb her companion's si lent mood and swung gladly beside him. At length they reached the boat house and a great pile of rough logs in a sheltered corner. John stopped here and proposed resting. "Elsie," he said, "I must have tired you all out. 1 am a selfish brute to drair you about like this. I was trying to get away from myself by reminding myself what a stanch friend you have always been. I had not intended to tell you my troubles, but I think I must if you will let me." "Tell me about it," she replied in the matter of fact comrade's way that made confidences easy. "All right, but you must not try to help me. No one run do that. 1 sim ply need the relief of words before I settle down to forgetting as fast as 1 can." lie hesitated A mau linds it hard to conflde.

We will talk and walk and you shall try to forget. I will not fall you." March was gone and April had had her last day of u r ice. It was the even ing before May day. Elsie, happy hearted, was waiting ou the porch lu the twilight. John was to come. Now lie nearlj always came. They wero going for another walk in the spring twilight to wander across the green hills and back along the roadways In the white moonlight. Elsie thought only of the moment, but she could not help a little throb of gladness that die so seldom spoke of Hose. She did not, as at first, regret the coolness that had sprung up between her and Hose. Nothing seemed to matter but being happy without thinking why. John called her "sister" half Jokingly, but with entire affection, and while he sometimes wandered off Inconsolately by himself he seemed content to be with her. And so she waited. As she waited her ti i'teen-year-old brother call ed distress! giy from his room: "Sis. for <• .ilness sake get my good coat fr*■;i 111- closet#lll the hall! I'm goln' to b: IMe to that party."

Elsie pick 1 it up, and as she glanced at the address her face went white. "Terry! What is this'?" At the sound of her voice he turned to look, and then stood stricken with tardy penitence. It was addressed to John Copeland, and in the lower left corner was inscribed lit Rose's hand, "Kindness of Terry." Terry stared and struggled with the refractory tie. "A pretty mess! Rose gave me that months ag> >. and I promised to take It straight t<> John. And like a fool I for got!" 'I lieu lie cheered up. "Well, they're off anyway now.

At her approach lie rose. "It idy, 1- iter?" Her smile was odd, and she held the letter out to him. She spoke as if she had been running: "John, take this into the parlor and read it. No one is there. I told you there was a mistake. It is to you from Itose. She gave it to Terry, and he for got it. I jilt found it in the pocket of his winter coat." John did not know he almo-it snatched it from her hand. When he came back from the parlor his face was shining. -nisi.-, you are an angel! You have the heart of a sister!

The Itnbbcr*!# tirave at MontKomrry, In a corner of the churchyard of Montgomery, writes a correspondent, is a bare space, known as "the rob ber's grave." It is not a raised mound of earth, but Is below the surround ing ground, which is especially luxuri ant. The date of the grave Is 1821, and numerous attempts have been made to grow grass upon the bare spot. Fresh soil was frequently spread upon it, but not a blade of grass is to be seen. The shape of a cross is still distinctly visi ble. It Is the grave of a man named Newton, charged with highway rob bery ami violence and sentenced to be hanged. lb* protested his innocence, "in meek dependence of a merciful God, whom 1 have offended, but who, through the atonement of his blessed Son, has, ! trust, pardoned my offenses, I venture to assert that If I am inno cent of the crime for which I suffer the grass for one generation at least wHI nit cover in) grave."

Don't the Bight of so much of it make me hungry for It? Not at all. To tell the truth, It Is like so much mud to me." Thus spoke a teller in a Denver bank. Ho was talking to a young man out side lhe cage. On the counter were heaped piles of gold and silver coin and bunches of paper money. "I'm sure I couldn't stand tho con stant temptation to appropriate it for my own use," said the man outside. "Yes, you could," replied the teller. "You could easily after being in here a week. For tho first few days the money would look pretty good to you, and you'd have to use your will power to keep away from it, hut after a week or so it doesn't seem like money. It seems like merely an article you deal In, just as potatoes seem to the grocer. There isn't a sixty dollar a month bank Clerk in a thousand who thinks of stealing the money he handles unless ho Is in debt and la being crowded for funds. To the bank employee who has his debts paid and has enough to keep from thinking of an urgent for cash money has no value. Handling money is just like eating to a teller. As long as he has enough food In his stomach he has no desire for more and even a l>lg, fine, juicy steak has no temptation for him. But let him get good and hungry, and he'll covet that steak. Tho only way for a man who handles money in a hank to be free from the temptation to**appropri ate it Is to keep out of debt and not develop any urgent and expensive am bitlons." —Denver Post. THE PARLOR. It Is llnpiilly tiecomliiK »■> Apartment of the Past. The American parlor is a thing of the past, according to architects, says the Cleveland l'lain Dealer. No more will there he a room reserved for state oc casions, such as the receiving of form al calls, the visit of the minister and for weddings and for funerals. "We never take the parlor into con sideration any more," said a Cleveland architect recently. "The parlor is merged into the living room. The good old fashioned parlor, which was held in so much reverence in the old days, has no place In modern architecture. "The demand is for a large living room in a small house, together with a dining room and kitchen. In a larger house there is usually a large living room, library, 'den,' dining room and kitchen. "I had a client yesterday who desired to have a reception room or parlor not connected with the living room. He decided later to have a sort of recep tion room in connection with the hall way. "When the parlor idea began to lose ground we did not make a radical change, but reduced the parlor to a small reception room, isolated from the others, where formal calls could be re ceived. Now we make no provision for the parlor. "In these days the reception rooms do not have to be closed only to be opened on the occasion of the visit of the family minister or the physician." There may be many who will regret the passing of the old fashioned coun try parlor, with all its memories of vis itors. courtship and occasions which left impressions which have not beeu eradicated by the strenuous age of to day. BUNDLE HANDKERCHIEFS. Introduced Into New England by the Salem Sen Captains. Housewives of today would notkuow what was meant by the bundle hand kerchief, yet 100 years ago the woman who did not have a pile of them neatly folded and Ironed and laid away in smooth piles in a drawer of one of the capacious closets which wero then built Into houses was considered a poor housekeeper. The bundle handkerchief was tirst introduced by the Salem sea captains. It was brought from abroad with choice things, such as sandalwood fans, «uava Jelly and amber beads. Those Imported were the white India silk and were used to tie around the "best cap" box when ladles went out to spend tho afternoon. Those of home make were of squares of calico or mus lin and used for everyday bundles. When ladies went visiting to other towns their piles of dainty, handmade underware were wrapped In fine lawn or linen handkerchiefs sweet with lav ender and orris. A new gown always came home from the dressmaker's care fully pinned In a thin, worn and much Used madras handkerchief. No Salem infant was considered to have been properly introduced to so ciety til) it had dangled In a bundle handkerchief from a pair of steelyard scnles. When the servants went to the bak ery they carried a couple of coarse blue checked bundle handkerchiefs, and In one was wrapped the pot of beans, and in the other was wrapped the brown bread.
