. Mrs. Vincent had dismissed the
parlormaid by a gesture.
"Con," she said to her son as the
door closed on the flowing apron
strings, 'Tve got a surprise for
yon."
fUon't spring it on me all nt
onfce; tlxis thundery weather always
unhinges my nerves'^'
**Fve 6ent iijto the country for a
.wile for you."
"Couldn't you find one in town ?"
looking up from his mayonnaise.
"You can't tell what these town
girls really are; they dress well, talk
well, are all right td look at, but
it's a mask, and I want you to be
happy."
"Who is this Phyllis from the
country*? Anything like the young
tudy whose golden hair wac hanging
down her back ?"
"Nonsense, Con. She should be
rs. dear, simple little soul."
"They always are. I say, madre,
whatever made you Nthink ._ this
comic opera style of thing?"
"I was brought up in tljie country,
?S you know, Con, by simple, un
worldly people. My foster sister
Martha Perry married a small farm
ier and innkeeper called Elijah
Wortley, and this girl, Martha's
.daughter, is named after me. I sent
Barnes to the station in the broug
ham to fetch her," she explained,
walking to the window.
Con rose from tue piano with a
smile of amusement as the door
opened, to admit Mrs. Vincent's
maid housekeeper and a shy, child
ish looking girl in a horribly pro
vincial green frock and a cheap
-straw hat, trimmed by a palpably in
competent milliner with white satin
ribbon and impossible roses.
Mrs. Vincent hurried forward
?ind took tho girl in a motherly em
brace, for there was a look of ap
peal, almost terror, in the soft hazel
?eyes. f
"You can go, Barnes," she said.
**I will tak<> Hep?ibah to her room.
Do they call yon Hepzibah, my
-dear?"
"Eppy, ma'am."
Con dropped a book and stooped
hurriedly to pick it up.
"Thisis my oldest friend's daugh
ter, Con," Mrs. Vinoent said, turn
ing to him with a severe face and
still holding Hepzibah by the hand.
"My dear, this young man is my
adopted son."
"I hope you're well," the "young
man" said amiably as the little
trembling hand was transferred to
his palm. "We must try and make
things jolly for you while you're
ap."
Hepzibah looking more like 6
scared rabbit than anything, Mrs.
"Vincent put an arm round hei
shoulders, saying kindly:
"Como and take your hat off
dear. Bing for tea, Con. Hepzi
bah will be glad of some after nei
journey."
Tje "young man," still smarting
under that appellation, complied.
"Weill" he commented inwardly
with a low whistle. "Of all the"
Words failing him, he shut thc
piano with a bang.
To Hepzibah's intense relief tin
""young man" was summoned awa?
the following day on urgent busi"
ness connected with his late uncle't
. -will and was absent about a month
He returned one evening towan
the enr1 of Juno, to learn that hi
aunt was out dining, but that "Mis
'Wortley'* was in the morning room
Miss Wortley! He had forgottei
her very existence. At the recol
Ifiction of the little country maid SJ
amused smile played round his Upc
"I'll, just look in at Miss Wortle;
before I dress and hava some din
wr," he said as tho porlormai
took possession of his-coat and ba <.
He opened tho-morning room doo
and looked in. At the far cn
?tood a hugp bowl nf goldfish* an
beside it coi the floor sat a jgjrl ii
tent on tho glittering m??ate!
Could this be Hepzibah, this daint
little maid m tho white chino sil
frock, with the deftly arrange
golden hair? He remembered th
green garment and the straggUn
locks under the straw hat
"How are you?" he said alon?
crossing over to her aide.
Hepzibah sprang to her leet, sea:
let from .throat to brow.
"Mrs. vincent did not expect yo
twnight," she said.
"We made a record run or
would have been tomorrow moniin
Sc you are all alone, eh, Mimosa T
*I h?g yoar pardon, sir."
Con laughed pleasantly.
? "Oh, I think you must be tl
"original goldfish, you know. May
?ali you O Mimosa San?"
^Ttf you like, sir;" looking up i
.wide eyto astonishment.
"I do like-why, here's the vei
thing," taking some large yelk
marguerites from a vase.' "Lo(
here. You put these in your ha
just behind your ears-so--OJ
von'r? a geisha. See !" turning h
toward a mirror. "Tor. do lo
jolly."
.They looked at tho reflection 1
gether, as though it had been a p
tore.
"ls it a game?" she asked, smili
et his amused face and forgetti
her owe of him.; -
"Yes;.you shall -sit on the fie
again and. sing to me?'
"I can't sin^ only byrons."
"Then, failing '-that," yo u en
corno and talk to me while I have
my dinner; then we'll stroll in the
gardens, and I'll have, a smoke."
Hepzibah was delighted; this was
going to be better than Watching
goidiish and reading books.
Mrs. Vincent returned carly,
knowing she had left her little guest
alone. The drawing room was light
ed np and Con's well known voice
was waited into the night. Ile was
singing a little coon song that was a
favorite with hin-.
Fay, boj s, have J CT seen a gil
That's lookln" (er u coen like me
while Hepzibah sat near the piano
softly humming the tune after him,
with the yellow daisies fastened in
her waist belt and a happy smile in
her eyes.
Two months passed, and then
there came a letter from Mrs. Wort
ley, which said:
"Me and her father thinks Ep
py's been long enough at yours, dear
Hepzibah, and, thankin' you very
much for your kindness, would be
glad to have her home, bein' har
vest an' us busy." .
."Oh, Con!" Mrs. Vincent cried.
"Just as she was getting on so nice
ly, and "i'm *o fond of her!"
. "Can't y i write and ask them to
leave her a bit longer?" looking up
?rom his paper.
At this juncture Hepzibah came
in, and Mrs. Vincent held the letter
out to her.
"Your mother wants you to go
home, my dear," she said. "She
thinks you have been here long
enough."
All the color faded from Hepzi
bah's face and it was a second ere
she spoke. In that second Mrs.
Vincent looked at. Con, but ho had
gone back for his paper.
"I have stayed a long time," Hep
zibah replied deliberately, so that
there might be no betrayal in her
voice. "I think mother is quite
right; she'll be busy, as she says."
. No word from Con. A cold dread
settled upon Mrs. Vincent's kind
heart. Had she brought suffering
upon this child unwittingly? Her
intentions had been for the best.
She blamed herself bitterly; she
could not blame Con, who had
laughed at her matchmaking from
the first and was laughing now may
be. And Hepzibah ? As though in
answer the girl raised her eyes, and
Mrs. Vincent was stricken with re
morse at the tr V they told.
*. . o ? ? . ?
"I don't reckon that's done our
Eppy much good, goin' ter town,
master," Mrs. Wortley told her hus
band for the hundredth time. "The
mawthcr can't cat her vittles, an'
'as lost all her color."
"Shell dew nicely in a while;
them people has turned her head wi'
a lot o' nonsense about fine clothes
an' pianner pinyin'," returned Eli
1'ah complacently. But Mrs. Wort
ev was a mother, and mothers see
with different eyes from other folks.
Hepzibah had been home a ?? eek.
Was it a week? It seemed like a
decade. She had taken up the
threads of her old life at once, but
it was a woman-not a child-who
went in and out-a woman who
was trying to forget.
"Draw a pail o' water, Eppy,"
Mrs. Wortley called, looking up
from her bread making. Hepzibah
took the pail and went out to the
well. As she fastened the hook on
to the handle a man came round
the bend of the road whistling a
well remembered tune. It was not
the postman this time.
Say, boys, have y er seen a gal
That's lookin' (cr a coon like me?
The pail fell with a splash as. far
as the chain would, permit, and Hep
zibah, trembling from head to foot,
turned to see Con vault tho gate
and come across the grass with a
word on his lips.
?'Mimosa!"
Ten minutes passed, end then
Mrs. Wortley came to the back door
to find all thc color returned to
Eepzibah's checks and a strange
young man drawing tho bucket up
from the well.-Chicago Tribune.
Origin of an Old Saying.
In the sixteenth century it was
generally stated that "spiders be
true signs of great stores of gold,"
a saying which arose thus: While
a passage to Cathay was being
sought by the northwest a mariner
brought nome a stone which was
announced to be gold, and caused
auch a ferment that several vessels
were fitted ont for the express .pur
pose of collecting the precious
metal Frobisher in 1577 found on
one of the islands where he landed
similar -?tones and an enormous
number of opiders.--^orrihill Mags

A Sure Cure for Ca muncie
MesBrs. Editors: Seeing it stated
ic your paper that a prominent citizen
of Dua West had died from tho effects
of a carbuncle, I will give you the
treatment which I used in my practice
and never know it fail in a single in
stance to cure the disease. And so
satisfactory was the trottinent that I
firmly bell jve it will oure every case
in whioh it is followed. To give the
remedy and mode of treatment I will
report two of the worst cases that
oame into my hands.
Thc first was a carbuncle on the
baok of the neck of an aged lady. It
was a large, ugly looking one. Parts
much swollen, and pain very severe.
Up to the time I first saw the case
the treatment had been domestic, con
sisting mainly iu tho use of poultices.
There were several openings iu the
carbuncle having the characteristic
white tenacious matter in them. I
took a stick of caustio potash and cau
terized thc discftRfld parts freely, and
che o upplicd a slippery elm poultice
made hy beating powdered elm in hot
water until of proper consistence.
Next day the pain still continuing, I
re-applied caustio going down to the
bottom of diseased tissue, dressed
with elm poultioe, and soon the pa
tient was free from all pain. Poultices
were oontinucd until the cauterized
tissue had all sloughed off, leaving a
clean, healthy sore which healed in a
short time.
The other case was also that of an
aged lady, the carbuncle being situ
ated on the back between the shoul
ders. The parts were enormously
swollen, the swelling extending to
each shoulder, giving the lady the
appearance of being badly hump back
ed. The case had been under the treat
ment of a physioian for some time. I
found the carbuncle completely honey
combed and every cavity full of the
white, tenacious matter. Cauterized
thoroughly with caustic potash, going
down to the bottom of the carbunole.
Applied slippery elm poultioe, and
soon the lady was entirely free from
pain, showing that the carbunole was
completely destroyed. Continued
poultices until cauterized parts had
sloughed off when I had a healthy
cavity about the size of the palm of
my hand. This was treated with sim
ple dressing being washed out care
fully every day with a weak solution
of the caustic.' This proved to be all
the antiseptic treatment needed. The
cavity filled up in a reasonable time,
but the hump on the back was gone
many days beforehand.
Where there is much fetor during
the sloughing pyroligenous aoid may
be used to correct it. Whatever other
treatment is called for should be
given. Also proper nourishment and
the strength of system maintained.
This treatment ?ill do to trust in
every case; and parsons would do well
to cut it out and put away foran e. ur
gency.-D. W. Reid in Associate Re
form Presbyterian.
The President a Prisoner.
One would naturally think that the
chief executive of so gtreat a nation
as ours would not only be exempt
from some obligations which fail upon
the average citizen, but would enjoy
certain privileges peculiar to the high
est office within the gift of the peo
ple. This is not the case, however.
The fact that the president of the
Uuited State.- is the only law abiding
and reason possessing citizen thereof
whom custom holds a prisoner with
in limited bounds is brought out very
foroib.y by John Elfreth Watkins,
Jr., in The Ladies' Home Journal.
It shows that in the spending pf his
leisure time the president'is more re*
stricted than the janitor, who daily
empties his wastebasket, for he must
not leave the country, even for a day.
That is an old unwritten law. Neith
er can he go aboard a foreign warship,
even when anchored in our harbors,
and when flying the colors of a friend
ly state, or make a formal call upon
any one except a president elect, ac
ex-president,'? president of a foreign
state or a reigning monarch visiting
our oapital. He must not receive any
bat intimate friends on Sunday or oa
oupy other thau the seat'of honor at
any formal dinner. He must never oo
oupy the left sid? of a carriage seat or
cross the throshold of a foreign em
bassy's.residence in Washington, for
that is foreign ground. These are only
a few of the many law6 with whioh
custom restricts our presidents.

Knocked Down by a Partridge.
While hunting a few nights ago
near Salisbury, N. C., Deputy Sheriff
Krider had the uovol experience of
being knocked down by a partridge
anda narrow escape for serious injury.
He and Chief of Police Miller wero in
tho woods and thoir dogs were trailing
a 'possum, when they flushed a covey
of partridges. The birds scattered
blindly in the darkness and as they
did so Mr. Miller, who was in advance,
heard a fall and groau behind him.
He retraced his steps at once and
found Mr. Krider lying on his back
in a dazed condition, with his hand
over his right eye. Both believed
that Mr. Krider must have been
struck by a stone thrown by some
miscreant, for the strange solution of
the matter naturally did not occur to
them at first. AH was plain, how
ever, when Mr. Miller, in looking for
the supposed stone found a dead par
tridge lying near where his companion
had fallen, with its neck brcueu. The
bird's bill bad struck Mr. Krider just
above the eyeball, and the shock of
the impact had been sufficient to
knock down a man much heavier than
Mr. Krider.
Here is a bird killed out of season,
but under such exceptional circum
stances and so altogether involuntarily
that there is no danger of Mr. Krider
being indicted for violating the game
laws.
Poetry and Hogs.
Speaking of cattle recalls the story
of the sentimental mau and his prac
tical wife. She looks like a dream,
but she is right up to the mark in
business. One day, just as the frost
was on the pumpkin, he came in.
"Darling," he began, "I have just
been thinking this is a most memor
able d*y in our lives, both yours and
mine. Do you know what it recalls?"
"No,1' she declared; she didn't
think she did.
"What! Not remember tbi? par
ticular date?" he asked in horror and
reproach. "Oh, surely you must."
She said again that she didn't,
though to oblige him she would if she
sould, and he bowed his head and
looked sorrowfully out of the window
at the swaying trees loaded with red
leaves.
"Don't say it!" he exclaimed. Don't
tell me you have no recollection of the
serious import of this day. Remem
ber, it was just this time in bygone
days we made the date memorable.
Think! See how I am impressed by
the recollection; surely you reoall it."
A dawning light spread over her
face. "I believe I db," sheened joy
ously. "Yes, it was just this time
we killed hogs last fall."
He gave a hollow groan and left the
room of his too practical wife, lt
was their wedding anniversary.
Louisville Courier-Journal.
How to Grow Fat.
If you are thin and wan- to put
flesh upon your bones, a prominent
physician prescribes eating before
going to bed. Physiology teaohes us
that there is a wasting away of tissue
while a person sleeps, as well as when
he is awake, and this being eo there
should be continuous nourishment.
Food taken at dinner or in the early
evening is always digested at the time
of retiring, and the activi'.y of the
process of assimilation continu?e until
long after wc are asleep. If the tis
sues are not nourished they are pulled
down by the wasting process, and as
a result sleeplessness ensues. On a full
stomach, however, or with food to
sustain the system, there is a building
up of the tissue. Man appears to be
the only creature who does not deem
it proper to bleep on a full stomach.
The infant, in this respect, instinct
ively cries to be fed at night, showing
that food is necessary during that
time us well ns through the day, and
that being left too loog without it
causes a discomfort which it makes
known by crying. There is no need
for rest in the digestive organs, pro
vided the quantity of food eaten is not
above normal during the twenty-four
hours.
