I The Dut) Colonel Jeinmett took a chair oppo- j site his hosless, who was toa-itiug her' obviously pretty feet by tho tire. They had first met whoa ne was 33 and she 15; they had not seen each other since he had turned 40, and she had availed herself of her majority to marry foolishly, so their early rela tions, if familiar, were unromantic. Thanks io the line of forbears wearing in succession the wig of jurisprudence, he had beeu already bald aud serious when she had cast her child's glance upon him; and now, a quarter century later, her widow's scrutiny found him much the same, save that the frame of his baldness, like his moustache, was gray, and the seriousness of his face become gravity,almost sternness. If he had changed not very greatly, in tho shaded light of her own strategi cally planned drawing room she seemed to him to have aged not at all. The girl was grown full woman, and, indeed, a widow of -10 cannot properly affect ingenuousness; but her weeds were rather becoming to her beauty than illuminative of her sor row. They were alone, and would, inten tionally, remain alone; for the game of hide and seek of chastened hearts is not to be played in company. "iou are looking well," she ob served. "Bettor than whou I saw you last." The occasion to which she referred was her wedding breakfast, and cer tainly the th on captain wf foot was not looking his best that day. 'Thank you," said he, nodding stiffly; "I'm pretty fit. And you you're as well as ever, I suppose?" She smiled at the awkward sj^eech. "Iou aro a3 ironical as over, I per ceive." "Mo ironical!" ho blurted-"not I! BuJ; I thought you seemed so well, and 1 remember you always seem o? well. Were you not always well?" She . had not intended herself to open a flirtation with him, but this temp'ntion was irresislible. She was silent, with tire cast eyes, before she answered: "i'ea,whon you knew me I wa; well." A little pause, "since then I have not always felt so very, very welL" Another brief pause. Then, as the eyes traveled gayly from the fire to his face, to fall demurely on his watch chain: "But you see lam quite myself again." -;j?oiouel_ JTemmg^^g^en.tranced ; wrinklos of 2.) years' standing faded from his countenance, and ho tried to recall speeches imagined before the wrinkles came; but the futility of the phrases crushed hini uow.and he said, with a very little emotion: "So you missed grandpapa, after all?" "Used I to call you graudpapa?" she asked; she really had forgotten it. "Why should I have called you grand papa?" His right hand ascended to his crown. "I think, at first, it was be cause of that," he said. She stared. "Because of what?" she begged. Colonel Jemmett writhed in his chair. "Because of not having any hair on the top of my head. I wasn't so very old, don't you know?? he an swered. Laughter rippled from the widow. "Yon are avenged," she said; "rayotvn hair is growing thin now, and I'm only 39." lu spite of himself, he started; he had just ordered a bracelet to be given her on her 41st birthday. She saw she had made a slip, and hastened to recover her balance. "Don't tell me you know better," she rallied him-"since my birthday is in Febru ary I may be forgiveu for keeping it only in leap year. But truly, I shall very soon have less hair than you. Don't you believe me?" He shook his head incredulously. She deliberately loosened some half dozen pius and took from the centre of her coiffure a plait of not very great proportions, "lt is my own," Bhe re marked incidentally. "It was cut off when I was very-not very, very well -I ha i it made up. . . . Now, come md look at my bald spot." As one who approaches a shrine, Colonel Jemmett did her bidding. Two of her long fingers diving into her hair discovered to him a perfectly bald disk, certainly not bigger than a cispeuny piece; perhaps it had been once tenanted by a contumacious patch of gray. "Can you give me nothing to make it grow ncraiuV" she asked pitifully. Colonel Jemmett's heart Muttered as he stooped and kissod the place, but the kiss itself was reverential. The widow's surprise ?vas divided evenly between his gallantry and his auster ity. She wondered what he would do next "I hope you are not offended with me," he said. "Oh, no! dear grandpapa," she an swered, with a trace of malice. "Sit down aud tell me all about yourself; about year exploits in the East. 1 want to Lear particularly about them, for the newspaper reports are so stu pid I never can understand theui." "Exploits!" said the colonel; "I never had one to my name." "Don't le modest with an old crony," she returned. "1 heard of what yon did in the Black mountains -or- were they Blue?-although I confess I conld not make out exactly what it was." "Upon my honor," declared the colonel, "I never did anything at all" "What?" exclaimed the widow, laughingly, "iou never marched from some place to the relief of some other place, carrying your guns over & snow mountain?" "Ah! I know what you'ro thinking of," said the colonel. "It was a man called Whippelt did that. A spleudid chap he is, too; yon r'eully ought to kuow him." "The papers said you did it,."- per 8i t (1 tber widow. .There was a confusion in the sames, Jemmett and Whippet L Whip E. Such b lire-?rst you aro kcp , ThBii you kncp.

Here's a laugh, V there a tear Or a sigh So you put in yo;ir t?y year Then you die. -Baltimore American. \ Soldier. | pott said nothirg about it, but it was corrected as socn as possible." "I don't see that Jeinmett and Whippett sound at nil alike," pro tested the widow. "No, but on tbe telegraphic code they're much tho same." "How stupid of these horrid news papers!" the widow ejaculated dis gustedly. "Well, it really was not so stupid," the colonel argued. "For it might, in a seuse, have been I, instead of Whippett, thnt did it." "How do you ineau?" asked the widow sharply. "Woll, you see," replied the col onel, a trifle nervously, "Ali Pindan, where was Ben Williamson, who had to be relieved, was at the apex of an isosceles triaugle of which a line Urawn between Fort Dufferin, where "Whippett was, and Fort Nicholson, where I was, would have been the base." "That conveys no idea to me," re turned the widow pettishly. "Can't you use plaiu English?" "I mean to convey,"said the colouel desperately, "that Whippett and I were o juidistant from Ben William son, and it was a toss up which of us made a dash for him." "And why were you not the one to do it?" queried the widow. "You know I never was a dashing fellow," answered the colonel humbly. "You don't mean to say you were afraid?" 6he said after a little while. The colonel nodded his head. "I was afraid." She waited yet awhile before deliv ering what she meant to be a taunt; "I cannot understand why you did not follow your father's profession." "I had not enough brains for it," he said simply. "Besides, I am at tached to my own trade-so attached that I do not know what will become of nie after auother year. " "What baprens then?" she asked, without interest. "ishall be retired," he told her. "The ago clause falls heavily on a man like me who has ne%*erhad a chance to distinguish himself." "I thought you had Whippett's chance," she cnt at him. For a moment he stared at her stu pidly, thou said without bitterness, but reprovingly as a father to a child: "I see you have uot understood nie. You - ??tveHpSrn^ hus band's nickname fo." me was The Duty Soldier.' " "?es," she retorted,without weigh ing her words, "and b<* defined it ai one who is afraid of God and man, and for his own skin. " Her teath closed on her tongue as she said the last word, for Colonel Jemmett arose and shook himself. "? see that my call has beeu an intrusion on you; I shall not repeat tho indis cretion. Goodby." '.ooodby!" she repeated mechan ically, and touched the bell. She felt powerless to detain him, but looked wistfully at the door when it had closed behind him. Ten days later she had a letter from him bearing the Southampton postmrak. "I am leaving for the Tirah," he said, "to command a bri gade. If I had done what you wished iu the Black mountains I should have risked the IIVCB of 500J men, women and childreu. I was afraid to do this. Perhaps in this new busi ness I may be able to present the Duty Soldier in a better light-at least, iu one which yon can see. " "After all, he can bo ironical," the widow Baid, and wondered if he could escape retirement. She thought she might write to him. Colonel (local Ma.'or-Geueral) Jem mett received the widow's letter tho morning of tho day his brigade was to attack the enemy's position. It was the first battle inwhich he found him self his own commander, and such a time is uot the best for reading a woman's - particularly a beloved woman's-letter. He was a duty sol dier, and though the touch of it bumed his lingara, he put it in his left bi oast pocket unopened It was good, he thought, to have her writing next his heart; but he al most reproached himself for thinking about it at all. Things were not going so well in this campaign that any man could afford consideration of his pri vate affairs. One, by name Winter, he who commanded the brigade at tho other side of the big hill yonder, by thinkiug of his chances of winning a C. B. had sacrificed the better part of a battery of ill Bpai'ed artillery. If Jemmett were to follow his example the welfare of a thriving district would be jeopardized. As it was, he would have to make head against a very su perior force if Winter's disaster were to be retrieved. His second in com mand had observed to him that Win ter's imprudence was good, inasmuch as he, Jemmett, would bo sure of a C. B. now if he could counteract the effects of it In reply, Jemmett did what he sel dom did; ho snubbed the second in command, who went away and laughed at him, and then damned au aide-de camp up hill and down dale for doing the same. The emmy had brought two of the four captured gunsiuto action against Jemmett, and the second in command was for opening the light in the or thodox way by knocking these off their carriages with a round or two; bot Jemmett would not hear of it. "No, no," said he; "we must have those back intact. Tell Captain Max well to burst his shells behind and around them, so as to clear away the supporting infantry; but we must take om* chance of a bit of a blasting from them until we get near enough to pot the gnnne's. They're fighting very slowly, they're ranging badly, they're not setting the fuses properly, and they have only one limber's sup ply." The serond in command was a liras maa, and when one of tho hoai?e shells, the first which did happeu tu burst properly, carried off a bugler and six men, a growl escaped him about waste 0? lie. Jemmett, who saw with half an eye that things wei e going as he wished them, leaned from his saddle to pat his subordinate on the shoulder. ".vi y frieud," said he, "it may be inhu mane, but I should not call it waste of life, though 20 more and myself were to go, if we win the day and get back those guns while a mau as good as you remains to take my place." "I beg your pardon, general," said the second in command; "but I wish you'd get off your horse, for I'm not big euough to do your work, however pleased 1 should bo to try." And .just then another fragment of shell-the last the enemy fired that day - plumped against Jemmett's knee and brought his charger down with a broken back. Jemmett fell heavily on his head. "You know what to do," said Jem mett to the second iu command, as ho recovered an hour later from the stun ning effect of his falk "lt hus Leen done," answered the second in command. "The Rifles have cleared the ridge, we've got tho guns safe and sound, aud the guides are chivying the beggars down the valley." "That's Al!" declared the colonel. "Aud how long have I to live?" he asked. "Bless my soul! How should I know?" returned the othen "Twenty years, 25, anything up to 150. Long enough to bury tho brigade,anyhow." "What'shappened tome? I thought I felt my leg go. " "Yes, a chuuk of %it went. . . . I'm afraid you'll limp a bit,old chap." "You mean it must come oft*?" ''So, it's not so b. .1 as that-it only wants absolute rest-and there's the C. B., don't you know." "I'm too old to care about that, but I suppose they'll hardly retire me now." "Make you a field marshal more likely," said the second in command. Then Jemmett dictated a ten-line account of the action to the second in command,aud when the latter had de parted to send it off, and to attend to his proper work, bethought himself of the widow's letter. It was very long, for tho widow, and it made Jemmett forget the limp on one side and the C. B. on the other. It ended with the words: "Give ma a definition of u duty soldier to take . the place of the stupid cynicism he taught me. " Jemmett put the letter into the en velope and the envelope back in his pocket, and, his heart full of pride, tried to think out the desired defini tion. His cogitations wore broken by the re-entrance of the second iu command, just a triHe Hurried. "That ass Winter has been at it again." he said. "He heliographs down that he's in the deuce of a mess, and can you get him... "What does he want?" asked Jem mett, taken aback. "He says he's surrounded, and can't cut a way through without a big loss. " Jemmett was a wee bit angry. "It's ashame," said he. "My men must be dog tired. I hardly know what to do." "I know what I should do," snapped the second in command. "What would you do?" the general inquired. "Let him go to the devil his own way." "You forget yonrsolf," said Jem mett. "That's not business. We must do what we can to help him. " "If you send ono mau you must send the lot,"said the second in com mand. "And you lose the fruits of your victory." "Better that," returned J?mmett, "than suffer a defeat." "Better for Winter, perhaps," growled the other, "but not for ns." Thou Jemmett learned that a mile's journey in a dhoolie would spell cer tain death, and he felt himself falling from the highest peak of happiness to the lowest depths of despair, for his was a commonplace mind, toni did not feel heroism as an ecstasy, but ?ill he said was "Sound the assembly." "How many mm shall I take with me?" asked the second in command. "Every living one but myself," sai^ Jemmett. "Eh?" said tho second in command; he thought his chief had forgotten the meaning of Afghan war. Jemmett smiled. "It'll heall right," he said. "The doctor's given me a sleeping draught. Have you got a pencil and an envelope?" When tho second in command gave Jemmett his last handshake he carried away with him the envelope, lt was addressed to the widow, and inside it was her own letter, with these words pencilled at the fcot of it: "My dear child, a duty soldier is one who is afraid only of failing in his duty. Grandpapa."-Pull Mall Magazine. Soldier? Like Street Thine?. Nearly all tho great armies of th? civilized world recognize the value of sweet things iu the ration. The Ger mans, ten years ago,introduced candy, and particularly chocolate candy, in the ration, and tho British followed the example of the Germans. It is well remembered that Victoria's Now Year's gift to her Tommies consisted' of boxes of chocolates. Jam also is regarded highly by the English war office, and 1,400,0.10 pounds of it have been sent to South Aftica as a lour-month supply for 116,000 sol diers. The same liking for sweet things exists in our army, and it is said that in the last year one New York confectionery firm has sent a ton of candy to our soldiers in the Philip pines, and in Cuba aud Porto Bico. This is first quality candy, and con sists of mixed chocolate creams,lemon Ar ops, cocoanut maroons and acidu lated fruit drops. These are packed iu tins especially designed to fit the pocket of the blouse. The American subsistence department is consider ing the advisibility of providing the soldiers with jam. She Was a Dream.

AN EIGHT.T? .xS rs The Marine Review prints a descrip tion of au eight-track roller-lift bridge to be erected over the Chicago drain age canal near Its junction with the Chicago River. It provides a clear waterway for navigation of 120 feet between the piers, at right angles to the centre line of the canal. On each side of the waterway provided for nav igation is placed a main supporting pier. These piers are each forty-eight feet wide. They rest on bed. rock, forty-four feet below city datum. The mm 0 D P A School of Farming Pit Will Him. to Raise trie Standard of ?gricultural Methods. WHEN the promoters of the School of Practical Agri culture and Horticulture looked about for a spot wherein to ostabllsh the Institution Tarsus places were suggested, but lt Was Anally agreed that Brlarcliff Man or, one of the most beautiful parts of Westchester County, N. Y., would be the most suitable. It will bc on a. pla teau overlooking the sixty-six acres Which nave been acquired, and also much of the land and many of the buildings on the Brlarcliff Farms, Which will serve not onl;- ns a beauti ful picture, but as cn Inspiration for the students. The object of the school ls "to train men and women lu the methods of hor ticulture, Horticulture, gardening, poul try nlsing and allied branches, that they may become proficient in the man laid from the main line to thc farm, and by means of these the shipment of farm products is facilitated. Near the railroad are the neat homes of som of th'? farm hands, and a short tnnce -beyond these, toward the v are several large granaries; further "Pi*' THE MODEL DAIRY. away, on the main road, is the model dairy building. Of the 875 head of cattle on the place, about 400 are regis tered Jerseys. No other breed ls al lowed in the herd. There are several milking stations, and from these the milk ls taken to the dairy as soon ns thc cans are filled. All known safeguards against Impurity are employed, and no milker ls allowed to milk a cow until he has thoroughly agement of farms, estates, greenhouses and gardens, and may be able by thor ough knowledge of the science of the soil to make the field, through intelli gent and skilful work, bring forth abundantly of its great wealth of beauty and usefulness." The school will aim to raise the standard of agricultural methods. Practical Instruction will be given In the orchard, garden, greenhouse, poul try yard and dairy, nn '. students will be taught "how to overcome and not be overcome by the many difficulties beauty and usefulness." Brlarcliffe Farms occupy a tract ex tending about four miles north and south and about three miles east and west. The railroud tracks have been washed his hands, and this must be done again before he begins with the second cow. The attendants wear white duck suits while on duty, and those who are employed ns milkers are not allowed to go near the barns. When the milk reaches the dairy lt is emptied Into a sterilized copper tank on thc ground floor. There is a large butter room on the THE BUT'J second floor of the dalry, which is finished in white enamelled -wood, marble and glass, and has an inlaid marble floor. The milk is forced into this room from below by means of compressed air, nad ls converted into butter, which Is glaced lu a large glass and marble fitted cold storage room. Near the dalry ls thc largest of five : .p^ors are not solid; In web pier there are four cavities, which materially re duce the amount of the required cou icijete and masonry.

The spans may bc operated either jblntly or singly, as desired, by two operators, one on ouch side of tho ca nal. When It ls desired to open the bridge the centre pins are unlocked by ?j barns.

Over each stall in a neat frame Is the name nnd pedigree THE on'OGBAPH, AN A - of the occupant. A salt brick is fast ened to the side of the stall, where the cow may reach lt with ease, and a water trough, Into which the water runs automatically, is a convenient fixture. There are no mangers, but the food Is placed on the floor, and the manager of thc barns thinks that the danger from Impurities getting into the animals' food ls minimized by the arrangement The offices of the farms are only a short distance from the barn, and In an opposite direction, on one of the broad roads which traverse the estate, is the pretty boarding house which lins been erected for the bachelor hands on the estate. On the ground floor of this building are a reception room, a large apartment In which the men meet after work hours *o read, play games or lounge; a dining room and a" well appointed kitchen. There are about 400 breeding pigs on THE POULTRY HOUSE. the place, Including fine specimens of Berkshires, Yorkshires and Chester Whites. The poultry department has n large Incubator building, with a capacity of 4500 eggs, and a perfectly equipped brooder house. There are about 5000 chickens on the place, and the house where the little ones are kept, which now contains about 1000 pretty chicks, ls one of the sights of the place. In speaking of the objects of the Behool which will be established near this model farm, George T. Powell, the director, said: "Its purpose is td give a thorough training in the art of agriculture in all of its details. It is proposed to pro duce the finest quality In fruits, vege tables and flowers, and, in addition to the production cf a high quality, also ?Elt ROOM. to give special instruction in the es sential part, that of marketing them.

JTOMATIC SURVEYOR. SURVEYING BY MACHINE. Th? Orograph, Which Has Been Adopted by tlie Army. Mention was made some time ago of the "Orograph," a new instrument which has been adopted in the United States Army, and is intended to take the place of the engineers' chain and level In the important work of making a profile of any road or stretch of country over which a surveying or rec onnoitering parly ls passing. This machine ls shown in the ac companying cut from the Scientific American. It consists of two substan tial carriage wheels, one following the other in a single track, supporting be tween them, and on one side, a box of mechanism, and on the other a sort of cistern. This cistern ls twenty-four Inches in diameter and one-half inch deep. It ls placed vertically and con tains mercury. When in operation the "Orograph" must be held upright and not allowed to careen to either side. As stated, the object oi the machine ls to draw upon paper an accurate pro file of thc ground over which lt is rolled, thus furnishing the army engi neers with all the results of a survey excepting the ^ourses and general topo graphy. The principles upon which the machine is constructed are those of the perambulator, operating in con junction with a lever maintained con tinually in a horizontal position by floating upon a cistern of mercury. This lever ls twenty-four Inches in length and one-half of an Inch thick, with floats attached to each end, and has free motion in a vertical plane on a horizontal axis. LIKE A CO'W POPPER. Automatic Collection Bask. : ls the New est Thine For Church Use. An automatic collection -basket is one of the newest things for church use, and a trial was made of its merits upon a fashionable congregation at New York on a recent Sunday. Ac AUTOMATIC COLLECTION BASKET. cording to the New York Evening Journal the device is remindful of n corn popper. In fact, it might well be called a "coin popper.' It has a long handle, hollowed, a wire box or pocket, with a trap-door arrangement, marked "AA," which opens when the collector pulls on the ring marked "E," which connects with the cord marked "CC," which runs in the hollow of a handle, and sets again when he loosens the cord. "DD" shows the depth of tho shallow tray at the top of the basket. The contribution when taken up, ac cording to the inventor of thc popper, remains on thc trap ooor until the col lector has a chance to Inspect lt before it is dropped into thc basket.
