Onn Saturday afternoon in October

"Ob, I don't know. I guess I don't

now, there's no use of smart
fellow like you making a hermit of
himself. All of the other fet**wq are
going."
"Come now, say you'll go?just to
please us"'said Ben. "We're going to
try for Miss Cat (isle's basket, and the
lucky fellow has to stand treat. We
shall not know her basket, of course.
All that is to Ire kept secret: bat Wt'rs
going to guess. If It's ALxA'
tanav"
Mark nodded, and a sudden light came
into his eyes. To him Miss Carlisle was
almost an angel. The thought of her
awakened all the manhood in his
breast.
? 'J?? h?re. boys," he said bravely,
what s the use of my pretending to you
this way? You know as well us I do
why I can t go. I haven't money to buy
anybody s lunch. Besides, my clothes
aren't fit."
"Pshaw! Lots of the fellows will
wear just their every day clothes, and
maybe you ran earn two bits betweea
now and Thursday."
"If I can, I'll go!"
"Sure?"
"Yes, sure. I've got two bits now,
but I wouldn't like to go to a place like
thst with less than four bits."
"(live us your hand on it."
Mark went on Ins way in a strange
tumult of feeling. What did it mean?
Perhaps the boys were not so bad at
1 heart mm ho had thought. '
"N%w tell us what you're up to,
Percy," said Hen, as soon as Mark was
out of hearing.
"What (.'lint said about the pumpkin
made me think of it. You know how
the boys bother Mark about Betty? He's
sensitive to ridicule, and if you want to
make him angrv, ask him about his
triend Betty. Now, 1 mean to get Betty
to go and take a raw pumpkin for her
lunch, ami we'll fix it so Mark will bid
it off and get her tie."
"Will she do it?"
"I'll make the thing work some way.
You'll see."
Before the boys left the bridge the details
of the plot were carefully planned,
and they parted in high glee.
As the Inst, boy vanished from sight,
there was a rnsding in a thick clump of
willows that grew on the river-bank
close by the bridge, and Miss Carlisle,
with botany case in hand and a queer
smile on h?*r face, stepped out from their
leafy cover, and walked quickly up the
bank.
So mysterious were the preparations
that went on the next week that one
would almost, think Christmas was at
hand. Karh lady wanted to outdo her
| her neighbor in the tasteful arrangement
i of her lunch, and at the same time keep
her secret.
The boys' plot throve well. Hetty,
through Clinton's skilful diplomacy, was
induecd to go to the festival and send a
pumpkin for her 'lunch.'*
As good hick would have it, Miss Carlisle
gave Mark an errand to do for her
in the country, for which she paid him n
half-dollar. It might have, .Lgqu pure
accident that'she paid him the'money in
the ptesence ol Percy Drake.
Another apparent accident happened,
flbe made so elaborate a basket fgr hoc
school to work on rifMTccet?vtt'HWt^ficl*'
pupils were out. Once, on hoariug footsteps,
she slipped si ipiiekly in her desk
without covering it.
A short time afterward, she sent Clinton
McKinsey to her desk to get a hook,
lie had the lid half raised when aim
stepped forward to intercept. ^iim. !t
was too late! He had'stfen the basket,
and noted the necktie of fringed white
silk which lay upon it
There was no danger that Clinton
would not keep the secret. lie even
went so far in his self conceit as to suspect
that she wished that he should
know which was her lunch!
The eventful evening arrived. The
church house was tilled to its utmost capacity.
The hoy conspirators sat on a
iront scat with their unsuspecting vieliin,
Mark (Jrannis, in the midst. His
ves sparkled, and his checks glowe I
with excitement, for the hair laova
seemed bent on nothing else than making
him have a good time.
Such unwonted comradeship was intoxicating
to him. He forgot all about |
darned and threadbare best suit, especially
after Miss Carlisle came in, and
smiling brightly at the group hoys,
took n seat facing them, in the "amen
She wore a dress of dark blue, on
which a white silk tie showed very
plain!*. There werp white chrysanthemums
in her belt, and her hair glistened
in fh^ lamplight like waves of gold?at

He even forgot to be annoyed when
Ben Tttndal nudged him significantlv as
sjotty Morley came in. Betty was never
(hashed by a crowd, and elbowed her
tA the front, until she had fount!
a seal as near as possible to Miss CatI

"Are you sure it's hers?" whispered
Percy, as Clinton retimed his seat an i

Clinton nodded. "I know it," he
said.

was looking at him. 1
The color surged bark to his face, 1
ami tearing the wrapper entirely away,
lie strodo back to his scat, holding aloft 1
his yellow prize with a forced laugh.
"The necktie!" shouted some one i
from the crowd.
"Yes, tho necktie! Show us who i
likes law pumpkin."
Miss Carlisle left her 9eat aud came
toward them. The crowd fell back a
little. She did not speak to Mark, but
stood near. It was enough. It kept up
his fast-failing courage.
Murk raised the pumpkin from the
plate. No tie was there.

"Ilello, Murk ! your pumpkin's cracked

Mark looked. It was not a crack, but
n cut. A piece had been taken from the \
top to form a lid, and so nicely ndjusted
ns not readily to be sien. He
took hold of the stein nnd lifted the
cover.
A about wont up from the crowd.
The pumpkin had been hollowed out,
lined with tissue paper nnd packed full
of lunch; and on the very top, resting
on a folded Japanese napkin, lay a

that crossed his face, and the consternation
of liis companions when Betty
Morley's green cambric duplicate bow
was found inside bis costly purchase.
Miss Carlisle stood close i?v his
side when ho cast the green tie to the
floor, saying, ' I'll never do it, never!
I'm going homo!"
"Gentlemen don't break their bargains,"
she said, quietly. "Evcrv gentleman
who purchased here to-night,
accepted, in so doing, the conditions of
the sale. Take my advice, Clinton, and
make the best of what you think a poor
bargain."
She moved away to join Mark, and
help him unpack the pumpkin.
It whs a goodly store that this homely
fruit yielded. Delicate sandwiches tied
with blue ribbon, slices of cake, oranges,
bananas and luscious grapes. Mark sat
like one in a beautiful dream, listening
to Miss Carlisle's cherry talk, and feeling
sorry from the bottom of hie heart
for poor Clinton, who, in an obscure
corner, was laying slices of corned beef,
gingerbread and pumpkin pie before
the delighted but tutting nothing
himself.
In the very bottom of his basket Clinton
found a card, upon which was written,
in a hand svell-knowu to Swaleville
youth:

Snakes Attack a Span of Horses.
While Fx&uk.(jA^UU, a ycupg farmer

aroused from slumber two ugly and cnor
1 minis black snakes, measuring about
twelve feet, that immediately showed

When.the snakes - saw that Frank

returned to the horses, which had been

oon the horses were noticed to

Th? ;f fwvu mu pixei
medicines for the aristocratic dog is 01
of the few Industrie* not as yet ore
crowded. The dog's "Delmonico's,"
It may very appropriately be called, h
done business at the same stand for
?ach longer time than its more dignifli
prototype. Its glaring sign, more a
tractive than artistic, covers the front <
a four-story brick building in an upp
East side street.
For nearly a quarter of a centui
Sprat's factory has had a monopoly <
the making of dog food. Everythir
that is made by the establishment is ino
amply protected by patents. But i
great is the fear that some one will di
cover the secrete of the establislimeti
that it is only with the greatest diflicull
that an outsider obtains a view of tl
interior. The business is now conduct*
by a limited stock company. Kro
twenty-five to fifty men are employe
four days in the week. Monday ar
ruesdayjof each week nre devoted to sor
ing the stock on hand.
It is really far from being a prepo1
jessing place. An odor, anything bt
pleasant, greets tho nostrils of the visitc
entering on the ground floor. This
Ihe r?v?ivinK room of tho materials USC
K manufactured products. Ouo
surprised to learn that thou
t pounds of butchers' scraps a
brought here in tho course of a montt
Oatmeal in wholesale quantities and toe
ot herbs are used. The old-fushione
dog-bone, boneset, catnip and beet roi
under various scientific nauies, fir
s use hero either as food or as med
cine.
The second floor is occupied by foi
curious-looking machines having grei
cylinder attachments. After some of tl
men have carefully sorted the fat an
the moat it is ground up separately i
these machines into disagreeable masse
After that it is placed into great wood*
tubs, whore various yiixtures are adder
The cooks in this establishment .are ver
chary of telling you just what they pi
in these tubs. The next process seen
so much like the ordinary Inkers' wor
that one is qtiite disposed "to taste thingind
when the round and square cak<
have been placed in the briek ovens an
taken out a tempting brown, one
really in sympathy with the aristoerati
dog. Having been properly cooled tli
biscuits are taken to the next floo
where several "hinds" nre employed i
lo nothing but pack them in neat past
board boxes.
According to size these boxes ar
labelled for pet dogs, for greyhoundfor
St. Bernards. Then there nre spr
ciallv prepared dishes for eats. The nor
inimal that has been the subject of s
much derision has been specially cor
sidercd, and sufficient of a specially pn
pared food to keep her for two days ins
be obtained for five cents.
But it costs a pretty penny to keep
log. A large dog must have six r
sight cakes, besides a quantity of meal
fhe meat will probably co?t ten eent<
the cakes four cents apiece. That make
$3 a week. There is the dog tax, an
cost anywhere from $1.50 to $5001
There is a crate to send him to the dc
show, $14; a brush and comb, $1;
waterproof blanket, $15.50; a niekli
plated slip, $10; a brass show-chaii
$2.50; a yard chain, $1. Then the dr
must be housed, an amount of aboi
$100 to begin with, and $3 and $1
week afterward, will keen ?n ordinar

The most important department of a
is that of the patent medicines. Awi
up at tho very top of the building, r<
moved from the various odors, is tl
rffioe of the company. All day long tl
.CCicimy keeps the books and sends oi
;ireiilars to every one who has registers
i license for a dog.
Right back of the office, unreached h
he prying outsider save through tl
office, is the medicine department. Tl
mixtures of herbs and chemicals ai
boile 1 in great kettles and the liqui
brought up to this door to be put i
bottles of various sizes and labelle I cur
ir mange, another a liniment forsprain^
mother to prevent baldness, or rather
stimulant for the hair, wluch is the sail
Jiing. It is quite astonishing to !e-ir
iuai sure euros for seventeen diseases in
made. The wonder grows greater whe
one remembers nil the dogs one hi
known th?r worn never treated fv?i an
thing. When they were sick they wei
away and lay down in a cool place, Inn
ing eaten of some herb known to dog
and slept :he illness off. But then, t
course, there were no aristocratic dog
They may have successfully herd"
sheep or churned the butter but the
never would have taken the prize in tli
dog show.
Not only does this curious estnhlM
ment make liquid medicines, but pilh
and as a recent addition to the husiucs
it makes dog collars and dog soap an
crates tor carrying or shipping dogs it
dog brushes and combs, mickinto?
waterproofs, with hoods, for greyhound
and blankets.
For its out-of-town trade it mok

emotion were aroused and an engageinei
followed. The, heroic young bride le

she traveled, but came safely throng
This was three weeks before the ma
