In his excitement he forgot that the oven had not been opened for several years, and probably would not be opened for years again. As he passed out lie glanced mysteriously from Faith to the oven door, a look which she failed to interpret, as she did not hap-i pen to see him place the letter there. The day of parting came. The v-utumn passed and no word caifte from Oscar to cheer Faith. "He has forgotten me," she sighed softly, but she remembered at part ing- he had whispered: "New Year's." Would he come then? The day came and ended and ho did not come. "Then he did not mean that," and she reproyed herself for thinking ho. All this time Mr. Carson's mind was partly on his potato crop failure and partly on Oscar. "It's kinder strange we hain't heerd from hiin or of him sence he went away," said Mr. Carson, taking it for granted that Faith would know "him" meant Oscar, and forgetting that ho had emphatically declared "there should be uo letter writing or any sich nonsense." "Arter all, ho appeared to enjoy old fashioned things. I 'member how curious he looked into the old brick oven." # Faith remembered it, too. Soon after ward Mr. Carson left the room. With a curiosity born of sentimentality she felt as if she wanted to look into the old oven. She walked leisurely to ward it and opened the rusty, creaking door. There was the fateful missive. She took up the leHcr mechanically, wondering what it co Ud be. It was addressed to herself and staled. In her excitement she closed the door with a hang which startled Mr. Carson, who was reentering the room. Faith's face was white and she was breathing hard and fast. She felt as if she held a message from the dead. "What have you got there, Faith?" he asked. "I don't know, father. I just looked in the oven, as Oscar did, and 1 found this letter there. It is directed to me." Mr. Carson approached her and looked at it through hastily adjusted specta "Shol Sure enoughl Road it now!" Faith read it, but to herself; then I handed it to her father with flushed I cheeks. Mr. Carson read It slowly, then placed it in Faith's hands without saying- a word. • "You see, now, father, if ho could have told me about it it would have been all right I suppose ho thought I would find it soon, and now it is over two years. It is too late now," and here her voice grew pitiftilly weak and trembling; "but 1 shall write him at his old address, just once, though I may never hear from him again. Per haps this is what he meant by whisper ing 'New Year's.'" Faith took her letter and went slow ly to her room. Mr. Carson looked aft er her with a sigh. "So—that's what's been the matter with her, an' I've ben a-doctorin' of her with sarsaparilla an' other arbs! Guess they won't cure her. I might as well let things take their coursel" " Faith wrote Oscar a dainty little let ter, tolling him of finding his at that late day, and simply said: "I would have written you if I had found it sooner." Oscar was not at the old place. 11 or letter wandered from place to place, fonvarded by Uncle Sam's faithful pos tal clerks, until it reached him one happy day in the midst of rising for tune. It found him still free, except for tics of love for Faith. Only four more days and the new year would be here! lie started hurriedly for Cramp Hollow and walked into the old kitchen from a blinding snowstorm. He glanced for an instant toward Faith, sitting by the fire and leaning her head wearily against that old oven door; then marched resolutely toward the surprised old farmer and said: "Mr. Carson, I have come for Faith!" Mrs. Carson dropped her knitting work, Mr. Carson dropped his newspa per and said in a broken voice: "Then I have faith to believe you will get her."

In England and all over Europe pineapples, or "pines," are eaten only by the few who can afford to raise them in hot-houses or pay the extrav agant prices for which they are sold, lays tho Youth's Companion. So rare arc they on the other side of the At lantic that they are sometimes hired to impart a crowning glory to ban quets, where they may be admired and longed for, but not eaten. In England a pound, or five dollars, is considered a reasonable price for the hot-house "pine," and even in this country as much has been paid for choice specimens of the fruit at the season when they are not in the market. Until within a dozen years nearly all the pineapples raised for market were grown upon the Bahama islands, whence they are shipped by swift sailing vessels to New York or Liverpool. To-day the principal pineapple pro ducing district of the world is the United States, on a group of five small islands or "keys" lying on the extreme southern part of Florida. These keys are Elliott's, Old Ithoades, Largo, Plantation and Upper Meta : umba. On them less than seven hun dred acres are devoted to the cultiva tion of "piucs," but from this small area four million five hundred thou sand pineapples were shipped to New York in one year recently. Tho shipment from the Bahamas '/or the same year was about two-thirds of this amount, while less than a mil lion and a quarter were brought into the United States from other West Indies islands. Tlie mainland of southern Florida has also bepun to produce pineapples in pivat numbers. On the island of (3uba the sugar planters are Just be ginning to convert their unprofitable caneflelds into pineapple patches. The Bahama pineapples are deterio rating on aecount of the impoverish ment of the Roil, and the growers aro turning their attention to sisal hemp. On the other hand, the area of "pine" lands in south Florida is being ex tended with each year, and such pains are taken in gathering the crop that Florida "pines," like Florida orangi s, now command a better price than any others. Pineapple plants, frequently called "trees" by the growers, rarely attain a greater height than three feet, and are provided with stiff, sharp-pointed leaves like those on the top or "crown" of a pineapple, except that they are much longer. In fact, the crown of a "pine" is in itself a perfect plant, and, if thrust into the ground under proper conditions, will bear fruit in eighteen months. The pineapple has no seed, but is propagated from slips or suckers. Sev eral slips spring from the base of eaeli perfected fruit, while the suckers shoot from the bottom of the plant. Each plant produces a single fruit and then dies, hut its suckers become hearing plants a year later, while its slips, if thrust into the ground, will yield fruit in eighteen months. About ten thousand slips may bo planted to the ' acre, and of these two thirds will bear fruit. Thus the yield of pineapples is about Boven thousand to the acre. If growers could be cer tain of realizing one dollar per dozen on every crop pineapple-raising would rank among the most lucrativo of agri cultural pursuits, but the present lack of transportation facilities and the de pendence of the growers upon commis sion merchants diminish the prolits greatly. The pineapple is perishablo, and there are many chances against its reaching a distant market in good con dition, consequently it is generally con sidered best to sell the crop in the field rather than run the risk of shipment.

[Copyright, 1803, by the Author. 1 " Across the heath, along tho course, 'Tis said that now on phantom horse Tho groatest Jockey of his days Hides nightly in the moonlight rays." I E horses had U| nj gone to the a P art from tho / eager crowd of / \ race goers, upon I i a ki\°ll which I fflJ \ 1 commanded an V excellent view ° * e rao^c stood a tall, p\ spare man of perhaps flfty five years of /"* age- Ilis hair was iron gray, - an( ] deep lines were furrowed in the pale anxious face. Ilis clothes were of the cut and pat tern which stamp the habitual race track gam bier; but they were worn and Bhabby now, and, as is usual in such cases, denoted a season of hard luck. Frederick Clifton—lor such was his name—had been a very wealthy man, but hlB money, like that of many an other of his class, had gone with more or less regularity into the pockets of the bookmakers; until now, after years of anxiety and misfortune, he found himself at the end of his tether. All tho money he had left, and all that he could borrow, was staked upon tho race about to be started, and well he knew that unless the black muzzle of Bodach (Has first caught the eyes of the judges as the horses passed under the wire, an other gambler's career would he ended and another gambler's wife would have to pay dearly for her husband's folly. lie raised his field-glass—the same through which he had so often seen vast sums of his money take wings— uud turned it toward the post, where fifteen speedy thoroughbreds were plunging and dancing about sideways, waiting for the signal from the starter. Bodach Glas, tho horse he had backed to retrieve his lost fortune or ruin him, was almost an outsider in the betting, but his tremendous raking stride and his magnificent condition, together with the tempting odds of forty to ono against, had made him the bearer of the broken gambler's hopes. Another thing in his favor was the fact that Fred Archer, tho greatest jockey that over wore silk, had the mount —a hint which the talent seemed to have entire ly overlooked. The flag- falls. As though moved by the same force, fifteen horses spring forward as one, and "They're olfl" that well-known cry which never fails to make the heart beat faster—rolls like low thunder from end to end of the crowded grand stand. As the horses round the turn, they are lost to view in the cloud of dust TIGHTLY GRASPED IN 1318 RIGHT HAND, raised by their flying hoofs, and there is a momentary lull in the excitement of the expectant throng. The cloud of dust rolls into the stretch, and sudden ly the leading horses burst from it like meteors, their bellies to the ground, their jockeys bent double and standing in their stirrups. The favorite, Tirnour, a big bay ridden by a boy in a scarlet jacket, is leading by two lengths, with '.he field well bunched. Three hundred yards from the finish, the backers of T'unour see a sight which checks their shouts of exultation. A horse on the extreme outside has shot clear of the bunch, and is rapidly overhauling the favorite. So sudden and unexpected has been the move ment that for an instant the electrified spectators fail to recognize the sable form of a despised outsider, Bodach Olas. As his rider calls upou him for the final effort, behind the flying mane is seen the pale, drawn face ot Archer, who, with his light body moving In perfect unison with the stride of the thoroughbred, sits down and rides as though his life were staked on the re sult. There is a frantic cracking of the cruel whips, a flash of bright silken jackets, and amid the thundering shout of "Timour wins!" "Bodach Glas wins!" —tho horses dash under the wire. So closely has been the finish that no one besides the judges are sure of tho winner, until the number of Bodach Glas is slowly hoisted above that of Timour. During the excitement of the race no notice has been taken of the shabbily dressed gambler, but now, as the out sider's number goes up, he is seen to ! reel and fall forward on his face, hi 9 j field-glass still tightly grasped in his : right hand. Before the customary curious crowd has time to gather, kind ly hands bear the prostrate man to the jockey's quarters, where he is laid upon a cot Presently he opens his eyes. The light of fever is in them, and he looks HE SEES THE HORSES AT THE TOST, around in bewilderment on the little group of jockeys who are watching "do feller what fainted 'cause de favorito was beat." Suddenly he sits bolt upright on the cot and raises the field glass to his eyes. Again he sees the horses at the post; again the struggle of the race takes place before his eyes. "Good horses," he says, quietly; "all good horses; but there's only ono Fred Archer." Then, his hoarse voice grow ing more excited: "They're offl The sorrel's away first! Where's Bodach Glas? —where's Archer? There they are—there they are—Lord, what a stride! Get him out of the ruck, Archer—don't you see he's pocketed and can't break through? Look out, boy!—watch that scarlet jacket— Timour, by all the devils! Curse on his ugly bay hide!" Here he paused for a moment, silent ly moving-his glass around the room, as though watching the progress of tho race. Then he broke out again: "Now you're in the stretch—break throughl Ha, hal—ho knows what he's doing. On the outside —that's right, that's right! Keep him straight, boy—keep him straightl The bay's coming back—hur rah! hurrah! Now or never—lift him along now—give him whip and spurs hurrah! hurrah. Bodach Glas wins!— My wife—Archer—hurrah—hurrah!" And with the cry of exultation upon his lips his body fell back limp upon tho cot, and Frederick Clifton's career was over. A LITTLE DIFFICULTY. flow the Newspapers in Corsica Sappresi the News. The elections for the council gen-* oral were going on all over the islam* of Corsica. Tho canton of Soecia com prises several villages, among others Guagno, noted for its famous mineral springs and also for the turbulence of its people. The elections took place in each village and on the morrow tho presidents of the several bureaus were to meet at Soccia for the formal declar ation of the poll. In consequence of certain disorders that had already oc curred the mayor of Soccia issued an edict to the effect that uone of the in habitants of Guagno was to enter the village t hat day. The inhabitants of Guagno chose to ignore this order, and sixty of them, all armed and all ar.gry that their candi date had been defeated, marched upon Soccia, headed by their mayor. Two gendarmes (not armed) had been placed at the entrance of the village and warned the advancing troops that they were to come no farther The mayor of Guagno cried: "Fire!" There was a general volley frr-m his followers and tlie two gendarmes fell dead. "They both bore excellent characters; one of them had been tweuty-four year s in tlie service, had been proposed for the military modal,and leaves a wife and three children." Such was the first account in tho daily paper of lktstia. It occupied about seven inches of one column. The next day the editor had had time to re flect (or he, too, may possibly have had a significant warning), for in an article three inches long, the account was somewhat qualified and there was this important emendation: "It seems we were not correct in stating that it was the mayor of Guagno who gave the or der to fire upon the gendarmes." The third day there were just two lines: "In consequence of the unfor tunate affair at Soccia, it is probable that the ipayor of Guagno will send in his resignation." That was all! I took the newspaper regularly for a week, for I was curious to see how the affair would end, but there was nothing more; apparently no inquiry, no prosecution of the offenders.

THINGS SEEN AND HEARD IN THE TOWN AND VICINITY. Matters of a I.ocal Nature Written Up and l'lurril llefore the Headers of the "tribune" by the Saunterer--Something Here May Interest You. Did my readers ever notice while traveling by train the man who attracts the attention of all ' iiT a car by "talking through his hat?" A case of this kind was brought to my notice one day last week on a train not far from Freeland and the speaker was no less a personage than one of the men who secured a "good job" on the Valley dur ing the recent strike. He con tinued annoying those near him i until they became so disgusted that a row was imminent at any moment. When a man is so conscience-1 stricken, as this one was, on ae- j count of some desplicable act or injury that he has done his fel l'ow man, then that man is in the most abject misery known. The gulpingjSensation which he experiences in trying to swallow the lump in his throat when he unexpectedly Jinds himself in the company of those whom he injured, is not any more embar rassing to him than when he is compelled to gaze upon the pub lic in general who know of the foul means he adopted to secure an advantage over those who are his superiors. ~ In speaking thus I have ref erence to some of those who have secured "good jobs" on the Lehigh Valley, and who may be seen occasionally on trains coming into Freeland. There is probably no place [in the state where these worthless hirelings received so much at tention as they did in the im mediate vicinity of Freeland during the strike of 1887-'BB. At that'time they came from all quarters and serpent-like crawl- Jed into positions of trust that their sloven nature never would permit if merit received its just reward. Many ineffectual attempts were made during the miners' strike to solve the scab problem, but all ended in failure, llot- I heads advocated questionable measures, while' others of a I more conservative nature advis ed moderation, claiming that a worthless'man is not only a load to himself, but to those who em ploy him, and in'the end would fall of his own weight, pulling others down along who might attempt to hold him up. Experience has shown the latter method of reasoning to be the only true solution of the question which is such a vexa tion to laboring men. It is slow in operation, but nature does its work well. An example of this may be found at several of the collieries nearby where, a few years ago, farmers were turned into engineers, w.ood i choppers into firemen and pump men, clay-diggers into miners, etc., and it is evident that retri bution came upon them as swift ly and destructively as a cy- j clone. At one of these collieries east of Freeland about eighty-three of these excuses saw the oppor tunity of their .lives, selected their jobs and went to work. Today but two remain. At the collieries south of Freeland these battered specimens of hu manity received a similar fate. Where they have gone no record | has been kept, presumably na- I ture has thrown her mantle over them and henceforth their home is in oblivion. Such I predict will be the end of those who went on the Valley and love to talk so much. On no part of the Valley sys tem were "good jobs" so eager ! ly jumped at by roust-abouts as on the Hazleton division, and j apparently all had their eye on a fire-box. They succeeded very well, but these accidental promotions have very little sta bility and are always the out come of some great necessity, and the fact that many of them have been sent to the rear on former occasions, their incom potency for the time being is overlooked. In the end they will be as those who preceded them—turned down and driven from the service of the men to whom they bartered their con science for a good job. Saunteuer.
