lier as often as yon can, nnd don't let

"AJI right. You may depend on me,
TJarl. Good-by!"
1 I hastily crossed the deck of the
bteamer, and Tom's broad shoulders
Disappeared among the noisy crowd on
(the wharf.
, Tom and I were natives of the same
(pillage, had been playmates In Infancy,
schoolmates In boyhood, college chums
n more mature years, and for the last
sear partners in a flourishing business
In New York. What is of still more
Importance In my story we had both
In the aforementioned school and col
lege periods, been in lovi with the
(Ba&ie girl, rosy, round-limbed, laughing
Eve Mallory. Why Eve should have
preferred me, plain, blunt-spoken, jeal
ens as a fiend, to handsome, debonair
Atom Burroughs, is, of course, a mys
tery. But so she did, nnd Tom, like
)Uie honorable fellow he was, retired
from the field and after the usual, ot
ather an unusual amount of courting
or Eve was something of a coquette
Pve and I became formally engaged.
I thought it rather hard lines that
fter a brief two months of lover's par
odist, I should be compelled to make
at voyage of very uncertain length to
Booth America. But business was 1m
erative, so I bade my mother an af
fectionate good-by nnd kissed away
(the teari. from sister Nell's cheeks, and
took an agonized farewell of Eve. The
gony was apparently all on my side,
however. For though I could see that
ECve trembled, there were no signs of
car in her bright eyes. She blushed
(furiously when I kissed her, and strug
gled free from my farewell embrace.
But It was like her to fight shy of all
demonstrations of affection. I had
never yet succeeded in obtaining &
(willing kiss from her. and I suppose
(that was one reason why I set so high
a value on them.
"Good-by, Eve, darling," I said, as we
(Stood together at the pate. I know my
face looked, white aud woeful enough.
r"Be true to me."
"Good-by, Carl," she said, smoothing
fiack her curly, golden locks. "Just see
iow you've rumpled my hair. Of
course I'll be true to you, unless some
fellow I like bettei comes along," nnd
he turned hastily and ran up the nar
row path and disappeared within the
pine-covered porch.
Her parting words rang in my ears,
pn, what would I not have given to
now that our separation grieved her
one-half as sorely as it did me.
'Of course I wrote soon to Eve; and,
tememberlng her. fancy for feathered
pets, I bought though I had always
Betested that species of bird, myself
gorgeous and highly accomplished
native parrot, and sent it on as an ad
flltlon to her collection.
In a few weeks, letters reached me
from home. One from Eve, quiet,
friendly; but 1 knew her too well to
look for any demonstrative endear
ments, or lover-like rhapsodies. She
acknowledged the arrival of the "rare
bird," and was full of thanks for what
lhe was pleased to call my "unselfish
consideration of her taste." There was
Blso a letter from Nell.
"Eve is quiet and sad for her. But
he bears the parting bravely. Tom
alled here last night, and we went
ever there together.
"At first I could see that it cost her
an effort to be cheerful, but before

As for Tom, he was strangely silent

turn my face homeward with a heart
that fluctuated wildly between hope
and despair.
I had received no letters from home
for five weeks, and the last was a hasty
little scrawl from Nell, hoping I would
soon return, but making no mention
of Eve. A man of more sanguine na
ture would have said that "No news
is good news," but my dark tempera
ment foreboded the worst.
I stopped a day in New York, but
Tom, who did not eipect me till three
days later, was not at the office. He
bad "gone up the country," the head
clerk informed me.
"Gone to see Eve," I said, savagely,
to myself.
That evening I took passage on the
little steamer that ran up to our vil
lage. It was a lovely moonlight night
in early June, and the boat was crowd
ed. Among the passengers I noticed
twi very pretty girls whom I knew
by sight as residents of our place, but
whose personal acquaintance I had not
the pleasure of possessing.
I secured a seat in the upper cabin
the decks were jammed and soon bo
came aware that these two girls were
seated on deck Just outside of the win
dow behind me. Now and then various
familiar names saluted me as they
chatted together. At last Eve Mallory
was mentioned, and you may bo sure I
pricked up my cars.
'Hot devotion to that Tom of hers
Is just perfectly ridiculous," exclaimed
one sweet voice. "He goes everywhere
with her, nnd I've heard that she ac
tually kisses him before folks, too.
Considering that everybody knows how
she got him, I should think that she'd
have a little more delicacy."
"Kisses him!" repeated the other in
a tone of mingled- amazement and dis
gust. "Well! that's more than I could
stand."
It was more than I could stand, too.
With a muttered exclamation, which
I will not repeat here, I rushed from
my seat, fearful of hearing still more
dreadful developments, and spent the
remaining three hours till our arrival
In a state bordering on frenzy. Eve
Mallory, my affianced wife, spoken of
publicly in connection with "that Tom
of hers!" So she was "devoted to him,"
was she? Was known O horrors! to
have "kissed" him! To think of that,
when my utmost coaxing and blandish
ments could never win the faintest
caress from those false lips.
0 fickle, treacherous, perfidious Eve!
Because of you, in that mad hour, I
foreswore all faith in women forever
mort. The house was closed for the night
whsn I reached home, but mother came
down at my well-known knock.
"How pale you are, my dear boy,"
she said, looking nt me sharply after
the first rapture of maternal welcome
was over. "You look quite worn out,
I declare. I never saw you with such
a haggard face. Now I shall make you
take a good, long rest before I'll, let
you go back to that horrid business
again."
1 would not let her wake Nell, nnd
the next morning, when I unexpectedly
came upon the dear girl in the hall, she
almost fainted with delight. Well, at
any rate, I was sure of their love. Her
first remarks were " like mother's
"How pale! How worn!"
"And now," said she, as she finished
her breakfast, "I must run right over
to Eve's with the news or do you
wish to go!" and she turned to me.
"No," I said, briefly; "I shall not go."
Nell looked surprised, but she swung
on her garden hat, and ran up the vil
lage street.
"Have you seen Tom Burroughs
lately?" I asked mother.
"Not for over a week," she replied.
"Not for over a week! If he had
been In the place yesterday, do you
think you would have known it?"
"Oh, yes," she answered, quietly.
"But the clerk told me he had gone
Into the country, and where else do
you think he'd be?"
"Oh," said mother, smiling, "he fre
quently goes up to Kingston; maybe he
is there now. I am sure he is not in
our village, for he always comes here
for his first call."
"Ah!" thought I, "I fancy Eve Mai
lory could tell a different story. So he
comes here, does he! I marvel at his
impudence!" Then my thoughts turned
to business. Of course I could not re
main in partnership with a man who
had become my deadly enemy, as I
now regarded Tom. I concluded to
write him a letter explaining my views
in very plain language.
On my way to the postofflee, wnom
should I se- coming toward me but
Tom, himself. A pleased smtie lit op
his face as ht w cognized jme.
"The hypocrite! the scoundrel!" I
cried, between my teeth.
"Why, what's the matter, Carl V he
exclaimed, ns be came near enough
to read the expression of my face. "Are
you ill? nas nnythlng happened?"
"How dare you speak to nic?" I cried,
furiously raising my cane, ns though to
strike him. "Vlllntn! Traitor! Mar!"
Tom started. "Bless my soul, the
fellow has lost his wits! he's stark,
staring mad!" he exclaimed. With a
parting scowl I passed on, not deigning
further words. As I emerged from tho
office, I glanced up the street, and saw
Tom enter Eve's gate. I could have
killed him on the spot! My blood
boiled, my brain whirled. I resolved
to cool the fever that raged within me
by a long walk, and struck oft into a
lonejy lane. How many miles I kept
up that steady tramp, tramp, I know
not, but I came to one resolution to
go and sco Eve, nnd denounce her to
her face; then well, Heaven alone
could tell the sequel!
It was twilight when I walked up tho
little familiar path, and entered the
vine-covered porch, whero I had had
the last glimpse of Eve. The front
door stood open, no lamps were yet lit,
all was still. I walked boldly iuto tho
little parlor. The room was shadowy
and dim, but over in the bay window,
the big bay window among whose
vines, nnd flowers, nnd glided bird
cages I had proposed nnd been ac
cepted, n white-robed figure stool lean,
ing against the window frame. She
was sobbing I could not be mistaken
sobbing softly to herself.
"Oh, Tom," I heard her murmur at
last, "you love me, do you not?"
I clinched my fist. Where was Tom?
In the darkness I could see no figure
but her own. Before I could move,
however, a harsh voice vociferated:
"Tom loves you, Tom loves you!"
The next moment it added:
"Carl loves Eve," and followed tip
the announcement with a discordaut
cackle that set my teeth on edge.
"No, no," she cried, mournfully.
"Carl does not love me. Carl has for
gotten me!"
I could keep silent no longer.
"In Heaven's name," I cried, "what
Is the meaning of this?"
Eve turned, stared wildly, and, with
a shrill scream, fell fainting at my
feet.
In an Instant the room was filled with
a crowd of children and servants.
Eve's father' nnd mother appeared on
tho scene, and a general hubbub en
sued, in the midst of which an im
mense green and gray parrot coolly
Issued from its cage and, perching on
tho centre table, hoarsely announced:
"Tom loves Eve. Carl loves Eve.
Carl and Eve are going to be married !"
"Here. Nancy, put that noisy Tom in
his cage, and run for smelling salts,"
commanded Mrs. Mallory.
So that was Tom! That croaking,
green and gray abomination my deadly
rival!
The rest of my story Is soon told.
Explanations, apologies, forgiveness,
reconciliation all ronnd.
But after Eve nnd I were married, I
had that odious parrot transported, for,
though I am not nearly so jealous ns I
used to be, I do not want to see my
wife lavishing devotion and kisses on
an unappvecintlve feathered biped,
when there Is a human being at hand
who could enjoy n good deal more of
that sort of thing than he is ever likely
to get.
Tom's frequent visits to ivlngston are
accounted for by the presence of a
saucy, little brunette, whose "big
brother" wants to marry sister Nell.

THE PYGMIES OF THE CONGO.
For years we have been aware of the
actual existence of a race of pgyinlcs
In the interior of Africa. And now,
authorities on the subject have ex
I pressed the belief that In this little
! known race of black dwarfs, hidden
to-day In the fastnesses of the tropical
forests of the Congo, but In past cen
turies probably far more common nnd
widespread, we may have the origin
of the dwarfs of tradition. Sir Harry
Johnston, the well-known English ex
plorer, made famous by his classic dis
covery of the okapl and by his re
searches among the ape-like little
black people, is of this opinion.
Tho human type, fir all probability,
first emerged from the npe In South
eastern Asia, possibly In India. The
higher types forced the negro from the
continent In an eastward direction,
across the Intervening Islands, as far
as Australia, and westward Into
Africa. Even to-day npe-like negroes
are found In the gloomy forests, who
nre, doubtless direct descendants of
these early types of man, who prolwbly
closely resembled their simian ances
tors. They nre found on the eastern
border of the Congo woodland and In
other portions of the Congo bnsln, nnd
the attention of scientists was first
called to them by Johnston, Grogan
and Shnrpo. They nre often dirty yel
lowish brown In color and covered with
n fine down. Their faces are fairly
hairy, with great prognathism, and re
treating chins, wliile in general they
nre unintelligent and timid, having lit
tle tribal cohesion and usually living
upon the fringes rf higher tribes.
CONGO TYGMIES TIIAVELING
Among the latter individual types of
the lower order crop out now nnd then,
indicating thnt the two were, to a cer
tain extent, merged in past ages.
Whence the pygmies came or where
they originated is unknown to us. In
the hieroglyphic records of the Egypt
Inns nnd other ancient people nre ac
counts that prove conclusively that the
dwarfs existed in Africa nt that time.
However, from native traditions gath-
ered by Schweinfurt'i, .lunger and
. other travelers. It appears that the lit
tle people occupied land ns far north
! ns the western Nile water shed, nnd
were driven thence by invasions of
larger blacks. To-dny they aro con
fined to the Congo forests and to such
portions of these ns extend toward the
Nile water shed nnd into Cameroon
nnd French Gaboon. There seems to
be some connection between the pyg-'
I mies nnd the bushmen of South Africa,
and if this Is true it gives color to the
I theory of the former wider occupancy
of the continent by tho dwarfs. Traces
of pygmies have been found in Eu
rope, nnd while there Is no absolute
proof of a prehistoric, universal, dwarf
people, there Is some ground for belief
in the truth of this, and the acceptance
I of this theory furnishes us w:ith nn ex
planation for the general occurrence
of the mythological dwarfs In human
I folklore.
Tho existence of the pygmies is of
the rudest; they do not practice ngri
cnlture nnd keep no domestic nnimalH.

BEES AS BAROMETERS.
Whoever observes bees carefully
finds It easy enough to foretell exactly
the kind of weather to be expected.
At least that Is tho opinion of many
raisers of bees. Generally, the bee
stays nt home when rain Is In the air.
When the sky is simply dark mid
cloudy these busy workers do not leavo
their dwelling all at once. A few go
out nt first, ns though the queen had
sent out messengers to' study the state
of the atmosphere. Tho greater num
ber remain on observation until the
clouds begin to break up and disap
pear, and then all the bees rush out in
search of nectar. A bee never goes out
in a fog, because It is well aware that
dampness nnd cold nre two of their
natural enemies. The bees' cleverness
consists In never being taken una
wares, for it is possessed, of untiring
vigilance. Often one may observe the
sudden entrance of bees into the hive
when a dense cloud hides the sun, and
even though rain Is not In evidence.

THE MILK CANS.
All mills cans and palls should be of
tinned steel, and. In order that they
may bo properly cleaned, they shouhl
be so made that every part can be seen
and reached, and nil cracks or crevices
Fhou'd be filled up with solder. All
seams should bo well made and filled
ur with the same material. The best
ans are now made of one piece o"
steel without seams. Milk cans and
pails should first be scrubbed and
washed out with cold or tepid water,
then swilled with cold water, and final
ly, scalded out with boiling water or
steam. Then they should be set out
to drip nnd dry In such n position that
no dust can enter. If the cans have
bad seams thesp must be cleaned out
with great care. They shpuld be picked
out with a splinter of white wood or
bono before begining to clean the can.
The cleaning of milk cans should never
be delayed a moment after they are
empty. It would be a very great ad
vance, Indeed, if one daily cleaning of
milk cans could be undertaken by the
creameries, where power and steam
nre both at command, not only the cans
going back to the farms empty, but
those going back with skim milk or
buttermilk as well. Massachusetts

WHY HENS DO NOT TAY.
Hens do not pay when their owner
loses sight of the fact thnt they need
food and a certain amount of care, just
as do any other living things. The
man who keeps hens too often thinks
that they absolutely need no care what
ever, and that they should gather
everything they eat from the scrap
piles nround the house and barn; that
they should roost In the tree tops nnd
drink from the filthy poois where the
hogs nre nliowcd to wallow. If by
chance they have a houso to roost in
it is never cleaned during the entire
year, and lica nre allowed to have full
possession. The old hens nre kept un
til they die of old age, nnd no effort
is ever made to improve tho vigor of
the flock.
Is It surprising that hens treated this
way do not lay nnd that they are not
profitable? Try a different' way this
year aud see if tilings do not change
for you.
DRINKING TROUGH.
In raising poultry it is very neces
sary to have plenty of goo:l, clean
water convenient for them to drink.
This makes one of the best poultry
troughs I have ever seen: Take a piece
of timber three or four inches thick
nnd as wide and as long as your Hock
demands. With a one and a half or

the water is to be placed. The holes
can be arranged in many neat designs.
This trough has many advantages over
mouy that nre being used, such as its
cheapness, cleanliness and safety. The
little chicks cannot get into the water
or get drowned, R. E. Hough, in The
