"Have I traversed the wide wo
over, and gone unscathed all lilt
years," hy asked himself, "only
fall in love, at first sight with a n

At the sound of his footsteps t

What Daisy Wentworth saw w
a tall, dark young man. of eight-an
twenty, with a somewhat listless e
pression upon his face. He wore a toi
ist's dress of gray tweed, and carri
a small pack slung across his bro;
shoulders. 0
"May I trouble you for a drink
water?" he asked, In a low, music
voice, that made the girl start, Its i
fined accents were so different fro
the rough speech to which she w:
accustomed.
Before Daisy could comply with tl
"request, the kitchen-door swung su
denly open, and a hard, strong-fe
tured face, with beetling black brov
and fiery eyes, peered out. the face i
Mrs. Wentworth. Daisy's stepmothe
"Don't come in here!" she cried, i
a shrill, acrid voice, glowering angil!
at the astonished young mau. "Ye
have nothing I want In that nast
pack. I never trade with tramps."
"Oh, mother!" cried Daisy, in di
may. "I am sure the man is no pct
dler."
"He's something worse, then, an
had better go about his business."
Mrs. Wentworth was about to slai
the door, when, by an amusing coil
cidence. a peddler's cart drove int
tlie yard.
She was one -of those women wh
made "distinctions." Though unable t
abide one who. carried his pack on hi
own back, she had a w. -ikness fo
peddlers who had arrived at the dis
Unction of driving a cart*
The angry look Instantly vnnishei
from her face, leaving it bland am
smiling. She decided that Max De
laney must be the avant courier.
"I'm sure I beg your paidou!" sh
said, humbly. "I took you for one c
the sort that goes about with f
goods made right here at J
cheap laces they try to pa)
at genuine thread. l am disgir.

put rae all out of temper
trifling and idling. Just Uk
mother, they say. It's a drv.
to have another woman's child t(
bring up. I would never have mar
ried Silas Wentworth had I known bc
would up and die at the end of fm
years, and leave me to take care ol
his first wife's daughter. I have
children enough of my own to look
after."
Daisy was accustomed to these ti
rades, but they always brought- tears
to her. eyes. She might have reported
that her stepmother had seized upon
the bit of property that was left, and
used it all for the benefit of her own
children, but she refrained.
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Wentworth
resumed, garrulously. "I've got lots
of rags stowed away in the garret,
that I've been keeping until the right
person comes along. If you don't
mind being hindered, I'll go and
gather 'em up."
A roguish twinkle showed itself in
Max Delaney's eyes, as the woman
disappeared In the direction of the
uppef regions.
"My pack only contains the kit of
a strolling artist,", he said, smilingly.
"But here comes the real Simon
Pure," as a. freckled-faced man, with
a scraggy, sandy moustache, ascend
ed the steps, bringing an armful of
tinware and some old-fashioned steel
y?rds. "I shall abdicate in his favor."
Daisy's cheeks were burning hotly,
but she caught up her print sunbon
net and bringinp a tumbler from the
pantry-shelf, led the way to the well.
In the shadow of some lilac-bushes at
the roar of the hou.se.
Max drank the cool water she prof
ferred, as though it had been am
brosia. On returning the empty glass,
his gaze happened to fall upon the
pin that fastened Daisy's collar. It
was a cameo of considerable value
a portrait finely and artistically crt;
but it did not look out of place, though
her dress was of common gingham.
"I beg your pardon!" he said, eager
ly. "But may I ask where you got
that broach?"
"It was my mother's," Daisy replied;
"that ls why I like to wear lt"
"Oh-an heirloom! Can you tell mc
anything of its history?"
"Very little. My mother prized it
highly. The likeness is that of some
relative-a great-aunt, I believe."
"What was your mother's maiden
name?"
"Ethel McLean."
Max gazed at the girl curiously. He
would have said more, but Mrs. Went
worth's shrill voice sounded nt that
instant calling sharply for Daisy.
"Don't be loitering there, you good
for-nothing child! You might try to
make yourself useful occasionally..
You've only been a burden to me ever
since your father died. Go right up
Into the garret and bring down the
rest o' them rags."
Daisy flitted away, a painful flush
suffusing her face.
But she had not seen the last of
the handsome artist.
That evening, as she stood dejectedly
at the garden gate, wearied out with
the labors of th? day and trying to
escape for a few moments from her
stepmother's' .shrewish tongue, he
came whistling along the lane, and
paused beside her.
"You have, been crying I" he ex
claimed, abruptly, looking into ber
pretty forget-me-not 0701?

WINWOOD. ?
"Yes,"'she admitted. "It was very
foolish of me."
"That dreadful woman has be?n
scolding you again?"
"I deserved lt, no doubt. I am not
strong, and cannot accomplish much."
Max Delaney muttered something
under his breath, then asked:
"Why don't you leave her? Have
you no relatives to whom you could
go?"
Daisy shook her head.
"There is only the great-aunt of
whom I spoke this morning-and I
don't even know where to find her.
It would make no difference if I did.
She is very rich, but my stepmother
says she hates girls, and could not be
induced to give me a penny."
"Suppose you go away with me?"
The girl stared at him, her cheeks
flushed, her lips parted.
"I-I don't understand what' you
mean, slr," she stammered.
"There is no occasion to look so
frightened, little one, though it is very
sudden. But I took a liking to you at
once, and I cannot endure to see you
abased I want 3'ou for my wife, darl
ing."
Daisy had had lovers hefore, but
never one for whom she cared.
A thrill of tingling sweetness shot
through her veins. She felt the /:pell
of those magnetic, dark eyes, hut Max
Delaney was a stranger, and she dared
not yield to it.
"Xo, no-you cannot realize, what
you are saying, or else you are only
laughing at me!" she cried, running
away and hiding herself, with emo
tions singularly blended of rapture and
alarm.
Two weeks wore on. Daisy saw no
more of the handsome artist, but she
was continually dreaming or thinking
of him.
One morning. Daisy unexpectedly re
ceived a letter. It fell first into her
stepmother's hands, who, in the exer
cise of a privilege arrogated to herself.
Immediately tore it open and possessed
herself of its contents. It ran thus:
"I do not expect to feel proud of a
grand-niece brought up in the back
woods of Michigan, but it is time you
sa*w something of tho world. You can
come to me for a six weeks visit if
.vou like. But don't expect to become
my heiress. My will ls made already,
and does not give you a dollar.
. wei ray expenses. Weir. I never!"
Daisy's heart beat high with hope
and expectation.
"I may go?" she cried, in an eager,
pleading tone.
Mrs. Wentworth frowned.
"'I don't knew how to spare you.
just as harvest is coming on. But that
crabbed old maid would be angry if I
refused to let you go. She lives In
Philadelphia, it appears. Twenty-five
dollars will take you there, and you'll
Want 23 more for new clothes. That
will leave $50 for me and my daughter
Joanna. Yes. you might as well be
gin to get ready.'
When Daisy's preparations were all
made, and she was about setting out
upon ber journey, Mrs. Wentworth
said:
"Now I want you to speak a good
word for Joanna. She ain't no rela
tion of Miss McLean, to-be-sure, but
the old miser might send her a few
dresses and jewels, and never miss
'em. Take everything that's offered
you, Daisy, and when you come back
I'll divide the things between you two
girls."
Daisy was quite startled by the mag
nificence of the brown stone front
where Miss McLean resided.
Her great aunt, a wrinkled old crone
in black velvet and lace, welcomed her
with a kiss.
"You have your mother's face, my
dear. I am glad of that."
"Oh," cried Daisy, eagerly, "do you
remember my mother?"
"Certainly. I used to wish she was
a boy. that I might leave her my
money. But girls are not of much con
sequence in this world. I had lo?t all
trace of poor Ethel. And so Silas
Wentworth is dead? He was a good
man, but sadly wanting in energy."
"How did you find me. Aunt Patty?''
"That's a secret." an odd twinkle in
her beady eyes. "By-the-way. I seeyou
wear a cameo brooch that was your
mother's. It was cut in Italy half a
century ago. Do you know whose head
it is!"
"Yours. Aunt Patty."
The old woman laughed softly.
"Yes dear; though it does not bear
much resemblance to me now. One
changes in f>0 years. There were two
cut at the same time. I have always
kept the duplicate."
It was a charmed llfethatopenedfor
Daisy. The gay city, with all its re
tractions and nov, lties, seamed like en
chanted land. She was thoroughly
happy for the first time in her life.
Miss McLean appeared quite fond of
her, and her sweet dreams were never
interrupted by Mrs. Wentworth's
sharp, rasping voice. .
Six weeks went by all too quickly,
and at last she was summoned to her
great-aunt's dressing-room.
"The limit of your stay has expired,"
Miss McLean said, looking at her keen
ly. "I hope you have enjoyed your
self?"
"Very, very much!" Daisy answered,
her voice choking a little. "It was
very kind of you to Invite me here."
"You are ready to ivturn home?"
"Whenever you think I had better
go, dear aunt."
Two or thrpf great drops fell down
the girl's pretty face. She wiped them
surreptitiously away, but not before
tho cunning old woman had seen thom.
"Daisy,'1 she laid abruptly, "what
ii Z were to ask you to romain ?"
The girl sprang toward her with ah
Impulsive little cry.
"Will you, Aunt Patty? Oh, I would
be so glad!"
"You can stay upon one condition.
I have learned to love you, but my
will Ls made, as I wrote you. lt can
not be altered, even to please you. The
bulk of my fortune goes to my half
sister's son, a very worthy young mau.
Daisy, you cnn remain as his wife! I
have communicated with him, and he
is very willing to consent to the ar
rangement."
Daisy grew very pale. Consent to
marry a man she had never seen? No,
that would have been impossible, even
if Max Delaney's Image did not fill all
her heart.
"I must go,", she said sadly. "There
ls no other way."
"Walt until you have met my heir.
You might change your mind."
"Never!"
Poor Daisy dropped floods of tear?
into the trunk with the new clothes
Miss McLean's generosity had provid
ed.
At last, .when the goodbyes had been
spoken, she groped her way blindly
down stairs. A gentleman stood near
the drawing-room door. As she looked
up, a startled cry broke from her lips.
"Max Delaney!"
"You here? How very strange!"
She blushed furiously, but ns the
young man opened his arms. Daisy
leaned her h ad up n his ; boulder with
a weary sigh.
"Are you glad to see me, darling?"
he whispered.
"Oh. very glad!"
"Then do you love me a little?"
"Yes," she answered, unable to keep
back the truth.
Just then Daisy heard a low laugh,
and looking up, saw Miss McLean
standing upon the landing, her kind
old face beaming with delight.
"You might as well ring for the
maid to take your wraps, my dear!"
she called out.
Daisy glanced bewilderingly from
the smiling woman to the handsome
lover.
"What does she mean?"
"That you are never going back to
be abused by your shrewish stepmoth
er," Max answered. "Forgive me for
trying you so sorely, but it was Aunt
Patty's wish. I nm her heir."
One week later, Mrs. Wentworth re
ceived a large box of clothing and
nicknack?, but she had seen the last of
Daisy herself.-Saturday Night.

The strong, firm linen woven in many
struggling country homes, iu Colonial
days, was too valuable and too readily
exchangable and valuable to be kept
whooly free from use. especially when
there were so few salable articles pro
duced on the farm. It was sold or
more frequently exchanged nt tho vil
lage store for any desired commodity,
such as calico, salt, sugar, spices or
tea. It readily sold for 42 cents a yard.
Therefore the boys and even the
fathers did not always have linen
shirts to wear.

between any mode of the olden times
and that of today than can be seen in

Americans are apt to look upSfe

it is a fact that taking Into nccoinjfc

country. The cotton belt of the Unjgi
ed States extends over about ten dj

nust be left to the weather and a be
nign Providence until the season for
yicking arrives.
The amount of cotton that one can
Dick in a day depends largely upon the
experience of the picker, but partially,
Uso, upon the condition of the crop. A
lght crop makes slow picking, and
xraversely, an abundant crop makes
he task of gathering an easy one. A
lively worker will gather about two
hundred pounds of cotton in a day,
ilthough there frequently are cases
ivhere as much as three or four lnm
ired pounds have been picked by a
jingle worker.
The cotton pickers are sharing in no
.mall measure the prosperity which
:en cent cotton has brought to the
South. For several years past the
iverage wages paid to the pickers
lave been from forty to Bf ty cents per
mndred. At present, however, prices
n many parts of the South have risen
:o sixty and sixty-five cents.
From the weighing baskets and the
?torehouses the cotton is hauled on big
ivngons to rho gin. Most of the gins
n use in the South are of the old pat
ero invented by Eli Whitney, with
mly a few modern improvements. This
nachine separates the fibre by tearing
t from tho seed by means of a series
>f circular saws willi fine teeth. It
s then placed in a condenser, from
ivhich it emerges in thin, gauzy sheets
..eady for baling.
Five hundred pounds ot' cotton la

together by a press and then encif
clod by six hoop? of iron. In rbis
form it is carried away to market,
fumed over to the factor or commis
sion merchant, and by bim shipped to
fts destination, going chiefly to th?.?
looms of old and New England.
The cotton raising industry has been
largely controlled by these cor-nlsaion
merchants. It has been their custom
to advance money to the planters, tak
ing as their security the prospective
crop. In this way cotton raiser? have
been kept largely dependent upon
them, and they have been able to make
a good profit on most of the cotton
which passed through their hands.
At the present time, however, the
planters are coming more and more TO
rely upon their own efforts, and when
Hiey have realized their independence
of the "general store" and the commis
sion merchant they will be able to ob
tain a better return upon their invest
ments.
The other de'velopmeni which is add
.ng immensely to the prosperity of the
South is the growth of the cotton
spinning industry. Instead of shipping
its cotton to Liverpool or New Eng
land, as formerly, the South now
works up its own raw material. Near
ly five ann dree cotton mills are now
in operation within the limits of the
cotton belt, running five million spin
dles, representing an investment of
$130,000,000, and consuming annually
1,500,000 bales of cotton, or about one
seventh of the entire cotton crop.
The growth f the manufacturing in
dustry, side by side with..the fields of
production, is one of the most encour
aging signs for the industrial outlook
of the South. It means millions of
dollars in profits kept at home and iii
wages paid out to operators, and it
means a diversity of Interests, which

seccotine and a knife. If it is a single
mount we have to deal with we pro
ceed as follows: Lay th? mount on Its
face and mark points at equal dis
tances from top edge and sides. Take
the tape and cut off two pieces an inch
long, b?nd them into loops and paste
them to the back of the mount just
over tiie points marked before, the
ends pointing toward the bottom of
the mount. Over these ends and
across them paste two small strips of
the paper and leave the whole to dry
and set (Fig. 1). When the paste bas
set lake the twine and tie to the loops,
a sufficient to make the mount hang as
desired. When two or more are to
hang together on the same twine to
form a set the only difference is that
the tape loops are not used. Instead,
tie knots in the twine, and pince tho
knots over the points narked before
them, paste strips of paper across the
twine just above the knots (Fig. 2).
One advantage of arranging prints
this way Is that the dust does not get
on the face of the prints. The more
decorative scheme is to arrange ap
propriate colored ribbon in this way,
and the effect in the hands of an ar
tistically inclined person is fine (Fig.
