Solomon Beardsley sat tilted back ic
his big rockiug chair witb bis feet
upon a stool before the glowing bast
burner stove, smoking placidly.
His wife was in Hie kitchen beyond
tinishing her housework before going
to bed. She was too weary lo even
sit dowD in the parlor, and. besides,
there was uo easy chair for her. As
she came through the room an anxious
look crept over her face and into her
dim eyes. She stood near the man fot
a few moments hesitatingly, as though
she fain would speak. Solomon no
ticed her hesitancy and. taking the
pipe from his lips, asked shortly:
"What's keepin' ye? It is almost 1C
o'clock. Ye'll oversleep in the morn
In'."
By a great effort she asked huskily:
"Hasn't Charlie come yet?"
"No. not unless be has sneaked lu
the back way." was the reply.
"He never sneaks." said the mother,
with a slight show of spirit.
"Humph! And see that you don't
go puttln' notions in his head."
"About Loreny?"
"Yes: about Loreny Rtonyer or any
ether gal hereabouts. 1 don't intend to
Ipt him make a fool of himself at his
age."
"He is thirty."
"That don't make no difference. He's
too young to marry, and we need his
money."
"No. we don't noed his money. Solo
mon. and you know it He Is a good
son-dutiful and industrious. it is
time he did marry and Settle down
here. If yon continue he may go off
to some big city. They tell him he's
got such a fine voice that bed make
Ho end of money to sing in the opera."
"Don't you dare to pul such idees
into his head! 1 won't hev it. Church
choir Is good enough for him. atid
well. It Is my duty lo watch over him.
I don't want him to make a bad bar
gain- like"
"Meaning tue?"
"No. do. Marthy: I got a good bar
gain in you - he?he?he!"
Vom moment the thin, worn woman
looked at the wrinkled, nearly bald,
toothless old mau ou whose face lines
of ill temper and avarice were drawn,
and then with her candle she went on
up to her nu n) whispering to herself:
"No: lie did not make such a bad
bargain?for himself. lie had my
youth, my beauty, my capacity for
work, and this farm and $3.000. In
exchange what did I get? a bare,
scanty living and unendiug toil for all
thpse years No: he did not make a
bad bargain, but I will not staud aside
and let him spoil my boy's life. No. 1
will not have it "
Soon after the tired mother had gone
up the stairs there was a step outside

Charlie had grown up to believe in

In this he had always been aided by
his mother, who. putting aside her own

"Father. 1 am sure this is not puppy
love. I am thirty and she twenty
four. We could all be so happy if
you would only consent. Father, I
want to go to her now and explain
why I did not speak before. I feel
that I canDot'live without her if she
does accept Bert."
"Bah! You go to bed!"'
Charlie waited a full minute, hoping
that bis father would relent. But in
stead the old man turned such a stern
and unbending look at his sou that1
Charlie tiuully went to his room, to
throw himself heavily upon his bed
without undressing.
Neither Charlie nor his father knew
that there had been a listener to this
conversation. But there had been. A

always on the alert against danger to
the children. So this mother had
slipped downstairs aud bad beard
the whole story. For a moment she
hated the sordid old man. Then she
let her love for her boy. her only one,
blot out the detestable character of
her husband. But she determined to
undo the misery he had wrought. She
hastily rehearsed the whole story. She
knew he was unjust and prejudiced
against Laurena, who was a whole
some, healthy, lovely and noble girl.
The two children loved one another.
She had known It for years by the
unerring instinct of a mother. She
had pictured to herself the happiness
of the two aud of herself, and she
was going to undo the mischief if she
could. So out into the darkness she
dew to Lauretta's borne.
Laurena had stumbled to the step
ping stone near the gate of ber home
and sunk down on It to sob out her
heart's great grief. The poor child
had played her last poor little trump
card, and it had failed. Now she
would give up and accept Bert, but it
must be a long engagement, she deter
mined. Perhaps she would get over
this in time. But somehow she felt in
her heart of hearts that Charlie did
love her. So she sat sobbing lu this
louely place, aud here Mrs. Beardslej
found her.
What words passed between these,
two women should be sacred, but after
awhile the tears ceased to flow. The
two embraced with great fervor, and
Mrs. Beardsley went home prepared
to give a battle that should know no
surrender and no quarter. Her boy
should be uo longer treated like an ir
responsible child. He should be free
So. with her whole being aroused in
defense of her one joy and comfort,
she reached the kitchen door and stop
ped for a few seconds while in her
mind she ran over the whole of her
life with her avaricious husband. She
now knew that in the first year of ber
life with him rhe had been almost
slavish In her acceptance of his supe
rior wisdom. Perhaps she had uncon
sciously given her child the same ab
ject obedience to his father's orders
From his earliest days Charlie had ap
peared to consider his father the one
being in the world whose wisdom no
one could question, and his misery
now was due to this unquestioning
obedience. But it should last no longer

and that he would never speak again
He would die with the refusal of his
gau's ha.opiness as his last words. She
knew C'burlie well enough to know
that he would feel bound to obey that
formal aud decisive refusal of his hap
piuess aven if it broke his heart.
As soon as the old man was laid in
his bed and the doctor called the moth- 1
er sat down beside him and considered
the case from all sides. She took a
heroic resolution She whispered a
few words to bim. asking tiis cousent

lie could ever be justified or not she
could not tell, but she was willing to

who made mothers. So she told her
boy that bis father at 'ast had not re
fused his consent. His laRt words on
earth had been: "Bah! \ou go to bed!"

Foley's Honey and Tar not only
stops chronic coughs that weaken the

the lungs. It affords comfort and
the very heartstrings of those who

that they bad awakeued new desires
In the heart or the young man. And
this was what the father feared. If
his son were to wed Laurena he would
naturally go to live with ber people,
as her father was dead
If Charlie left home his father wonld
be obliged to hire two men to do what
they had managed between them, with
the assistance of the mother. It was
not so much that he had anything
against I.aurena as that he did not
wish his son to leave Dim that had
actuated him until now. Up had
talked frankly with tiis son and told
him many things, ail calculated to
wither any budding sentlmentalism.
So now Charlie had entered the par
lor with heavy feet. He knew what
was to come, and he knew what had
gone before?yes. only a short half
hour ago. No wonder his heart was
heavy.
"Well?" said his father, eying bira
with disconcerting scrutiuy.
Charlie held his peace. In fact, he
could not trust himself to speak. His
eyes were cast to the floor and filled
with unspeakable despair. He could
not trust his voice. His father sat
down with his aching feet on the floor
instead of the stool und again uttered
the one word that meant so much:
"Well?"
Charlie was so handsome, with his
brown curling hair, his gentle brown
eyes, his big frame and tanned cheeks,
that the old man felt a thrill of pride,
but be never allowed that to check his
determination to have from his sou the
last word of what he knew he was
trying to withhold. Finally Charlie
looked up once at his father, whose
sharp glance showed him the misery
In the soft brown eyes of his son
Again he said "Well?" adding that he
was listening. Finally Charlie lifted
his head, saying:
"You need uot worry. It is all ofT."
"What's all off"? Tell me the hull
thing from first to last."
"We finished our practice, and all
started for home, and the rest hurried
off. but Laureua and I, we walked
along slower. She said she had some
thing to say that she could not put oil"
So we walked along."
"You said that before. It Isn't to be
supposed that yuu rode aloug or flew
aloug or sailed along. Go ahead."
"Well, you know, father, that I am
fond of Laurena. 1 told you from the
beginning"?
"And so you've been and asked her,
you ungrateful boy, after all I've said
and doue"?
"No; I haven't asked her nor told
her, but I feel as though I should have
done so. We walked among the graves
and didn't talk much at first. Then
she said: "Charlie. I want your advice
We have beeu such good friends al
ways.'"
"Yes. 1 see. I see. She thinks yon
cau be caught with such chafl. but go
on. go on."
"1 said that we had. and then she
continued: 'You know that folks have
a habit of taking things for granted.
I am not blaming any one. but we
have been going together so much?for
four years since we grew up -and now
I?I think I must say that this can't
go on any longer. Bert Jumel asked
me to marry him. and I thought I
would ask your advice before I answer
him." "
"A trap, a trap." shouted the old
man, "and you fell into it like the soft
ninny that you are! Didn't I tell you
that I'd searched out her family on
both sides to see if they had any de
scending ailment and that her father
died of a decline? Didn't I go to their

She's too flighty I won't allow you to

did she do then?"
"Why, nothiDg." replied Charlie mis
erably. "for we stood a minute still
and silent. 1 didn't dnre to tell her
how 1 felt till I had seen you. and she
leaned against old Mr. Stander's monu
ment and cried
"Yes, she's artful, sly and smart.

to deal with. She got tired of waiting

so on. and none of 'em could cook or

The old man stopped to take breath
while Charlie said half heartedly. "1

my good. but. father. Laurena has
none of those faults"?
"Never mind that, but go on and tell
me. What did you do then?when she

ASTOR PEAT GAS MACHINE.
Ingenious Device For Manufacturing
Producer Gas From Peat.
The vibratory disintegrator herewith
shown was invented by Colonel John
Jacob Astor of New York and will, it
is believed, solve the problem of the
commercial manufacture of producer
gas from peat. The device utilizes the
expansive force of the air and pases
within the very porous peat to disrupt
aud disintegrate the latter and to per
mit the peat to be thoroughly and uni
formly heated. The gas generated may
be supplied to an ordinary internal com
bustion engine, I>. the engine muffler
C being placed inside the gas producer.
The sidas of this muffler are thin, so as
to permit them to be distended and
drawn inwardly upon variations in the
pressure within the muffler. The
sectional view of gas producer.
edges of the muffler may be tinted, cor
rugated or accordion plaited to facili
tate this relative movement of the
opposite sides, and one end <>f the muf
fler is connected to the exhaust pipe.
The gas escaping from the engine cyl
inder after each explosion in the latter
teuds to expand the muffler, aud as the
exhaust gas escapes from tin: muffler
the sides will again contract. These
vibrations of the side walls <if the muf
fler cause the successive compression
and expansion of the gas within the
pas producer and likewise the gas in
cluded in the pores a?d Interstices of
the peat. As a result, the cells and
pores contained in the peat are dis
rupted and the peat is broken up and
disintegrated.
To further aid in breaking up and
disintegrating the peat and permitting
of^its uniform heating the peal cham
ber Ii of the producer Is supported
from the engine frame or base E. so
that the jarring and vibrating of the
engine frame are transmitted to the
peat.
Any suitable form of gas engine may
be employed, but preferably one run
ning at comparatively slow speed, so
that the successive charges of exhaust
gas will have time to produce the de
sired expansion In the muffler. Pref
erably an air cooled engine Is employ
ed, and the air utilized in cooling the
engine cylinder is delivered in part or
in whole to the base of the producer.
Colonel Astor is now erecting a peat
fuel producer gas plant at his coun
try place at Ithlnecliff-on-the-Hudson,
in which the vibratory disintegrator
will be given u practical test. The
plant, of about 1?0 horsepower, is to
run a stone crusher, and if the peat
yields Its gas. as it is confidently be
lieved it will. It will mean an engineer
ing advance that may have very far
reaching remits.
The patent application is now pend
ing, and on its heilig allowed t'olonel
Astor intends to present it to the pub
lic in the hope that it may be of wide
general use.
Improving the Piano.
The dulcitone of Thomas Mitchell of
Glasgow has the keyboard of a piano,
but the key hammers produce sound
by striking steel forks like sliankless
tuning forks instead of wires. A semi
circular sleel spring carries the vibra
tions from each fork to the sounding
board. The tone Is softer than that of
the piano, but it has great clearness
and carrying power and is adapted for
solo playing as well as for accompany
ing other instruments or tue voice.
Important advantages are the lack of
necessity of tuning and the portability.
A dulcitone of live octavos weighs but
forty-five pounds, but a piano of the
same range has a weight of 250 pounds
?>r more.
New Musical Instrument.
A novel musical instrument has re
cently been exhibited, which resembles
a piano, but the wires, instead of be
ing struck with hammers, are vibrated
by means of electro-magnets. The In
strument Is also provided with ordi
nary piano keys and hammers; so that
It may be operated by them alone or
at the K?me time by hand and by the
electro-magnets. It is suid that the
tones ef the instrument, which is
known ns a ehoraJeolo, resemble those
of a stringed Instrument and orgau
combined.
Size of Engine to Drive Dynamo.
A eon ven leu I rule of thumb for as
certaining approximately the size of
an engine required to drive a direct
current dynamo is to multiply the kilo
watts of output by 1.7 for small ma
chines. l.C for medium sizes und 1.5
for 500 kilowatts or over. The result
will bo about the brake horsepower re

TO START IN AUGUST
THE PLANS ARRANGED BY
PROF. BARROW.
Counties Visited by Experts From
CleniKon College?Explanation of
the Trip.
In August the plans inaugurated
at Clemson college for extension
schools will be put into execution
and several counties will take part.
The difference between these schools
and the former cars sent out from
[ the college is that longer stands will
be made at the various towns en
route and in this way every phase
of agricultural work will be taken
up for discussion. The farmers of
the counties will reap the ben
efit given. The work is under di
rection of Uhe agricultural depart
ment at Clemson and men from the
United States department of agri
culture.
"Actual practical instruction will
be given at a definite hour each day,''
says the synopsis of the work sent
out by Prof. Harrow of Clemson,
"In some subject of vital interest to
the farmer." This instruction will
be of such a nature that the man who
attends the school can go right home
and put it into practice. Among the.
various subjects taught will be that
of butter making. Those who at
tend this class will be given instruc
tion in the theory and practice of
butter making, not by lectures, but
by seeing the butter made. The
school will be equipped not with a
lot of expensive apparatus but with
such that any ordinary farmer can
easily afford to provide. Good but
ter can always be sold at a profit
and many a dollar can be added to
the revenue of the farms of this
State by making a slight improve
ment in the quality of butter. We
feel sure that this feature will ap
peal to the farmers and especially
their wives and that much good will
result from this course.
"What soils are and what consti
tutes fertile soil and how that fer
tility can be preserved and increased
is another subject on which enlight
enment is needed and that will ap
peal directly to the intelligence of
our farmers. There is no question
of greater paramount importance
than this, together with that of com
mercial fertilizers. It is a well rec
ognized fact that there are hundreds
of thousands of dollars lost annually
to the farmers of the South by im
proper buying and using of commer
cial fertilizers. This is due largely
to a lack of clear understanding on
the part of the farmers as to just
what, commercial fertilizers are and
how to use them. These two sub
jects will be taught in a way that
will give a clear understanding of
them and there will he no need of
a fanner who attends ever being
in doubt as to what to buy and how
to use his fertilizers.
"It. is a well recognized fact among
breeders of stock that it does not
pay to breed or raise scrub stock
and we. all understand at least a few
rudimentary principles of improving
our stock and breeding up a herd.
The same thing is true about, our
farm crops. How to select seed so
as to Improve our crops is there
fore a very important line of instruc
tion that will be handled in a prac
tical way at this school. it is d
well known fact that we have prac
tically no well bred seed in the South
and that by one year' intelligent se
lection of seed at least five bushel
can be added to the yield of the av
erage acre of corn. Like results will
follow with other seed. It will pay
the farmers of this country then to
give close attention to this subject.
"No farm is complete or can ex
pect to reach the maximum results
that has not its quota of live
stock. Put in order to attain maxi
mum results Mils live stock must be
properly handl'd and fed and \v
must learn how to raise feed for :t
in the best and cheapest way. The-t
too. the work Heck of our farms
and all other live stock have troubles,
accidents and sickness. How many
of these latter can be avoided end
how to treat the simpler troubles is
one of the very important subjects
in which Instruction will be gi\ i.
An insect is a very small thing but
the State of South Carolina loses
many a dollar in the injury they do
to her crops. Much of this dam
age can he prevented if we know how
to fight them. Th e habit of some
of the most injurious and numerous
insects and how to combat them?
how to poison, how to prevent their
multiplication and how nnd when
to spray and how these sprays are
prepared will all be taught in a
practical way.
"This extension school is thus se<-n
to be intended as a school indeed. If
the farmers of the counties arc real
ly anxious to learn something of
this, this is their opportunity.
