FRANCE,
I' "I came to keep house for Jack
in Maryland, but he died of consumption
two years ago."
She answered very briefly, and he
did not think fit to Inquire as to her
present circumstances. If Martha
Derriman had not prospered, the fault
was none of his.
"Dear, dear! and Jack the youngest
of you all! What about Looey
now? I suppose she was married up
comfortable years ago."
For all his hardness he was a little
ill at ease then, and his look avoided
hers. If he had seen her eyes
then in their wistfuluess, as she answered
jauntily enough.?
"To be sure; married up comfortable
to Jimmy Meech, six month*
after you stopped writing to her."
Although this was not true, it
should have been grateful hearing to
Timothy, yet he resented It.
"What! a pretty piece like Looey
married up to that girl, long-legged
T f m m tt o mon f>? novor thirds his
mangold? I always thought he was
after you; he'd have doue well enough
for you."
Under the influence of her presence
the unaccustomed words belonging to
his youth came trooping back of their
own accord. No other way of speaking
to her would have been natural;
nor did she seem offended at. big insinuation
that anything in the shape
of a man was good enough for her,
but not for Lucy. Her eyes even
sparkled as she answered:
"They are married all right, and are
as happy as can be! There's heaps
of young stock on the farm, and you
should see 'em of a Sunday setting
in church with their five boys and
two girls! 'Twas a pretty sight when
I was home, but they must be fine
lads and maidens by now."
His face darkened, being a childless
man with a head, money-loving wife;
and just then he seemed to see Lucy
in the exquisite bloom and freshness
of young womanhood. How the sun
shone In her hair, just as It used to!
None of his gold was one tithe as
bright.
The woman leant eagerly forward.
"I 'low as you really loved her at
the onset."
"God knows! I was but a boycbap,
with my way to make, and
Looey hadn't nothen."
But he knew regretfully that the
lad and the girl had even then been
rich with untold wealth?rich in youth
and hone?ay, and love, a treasure
that his coffers had not contained for
years.
"You've changed." she said slowly.
"What a sperrity lad you used to be!
Can't you mind dowsing Dan Legg
in the pumptro' because he served
our kitten bad?an all-over white kitten
It was with a tabby tail?"
The clerk opened the dcor.
"Mr. Carl Rasch to see you, sir."
"I canuot see him. I am particularly
engaged."
Then Timothy Burt turned to her
with a frown of anxious recollection
on his lined forehead.
"Not an all-over white kitten
surely; hadn't it a patch of tabby on
the back? Ay, I can mind how Looey
hollied out; she was turrible fond of
cats. A bad buoy that Dan Leggs!
I'd do the same agaiD." Then habitual
caution asserted itself?"But he
bid fair to make an awful big chan"
She eyed his unathletic figure with
grave compassion:
"You've plimmcd since then. I do
fancy you'd not stand much of a
snock now. But you need not be
betting Dan Legg any more; he's been
dead these many years."
The silence lay heavy between them,
until he suddenly turned suspicious:
"Where was you when I dowsed
Dan? I can only mind of Looey being
by. Where was you to?"
"I was in the bakehouse, stripping
feathers. 'Tis so long ago you forget."
This remark was providential in
suggesting a new train of thought.
"You and your feathers. Martha!
I couldn't bide in house when you
was bakin' of them. Tell about
smitches! I zim I smell of 'em now."
She laughed a softer laugh than
Martha had ever been guilty of?
Martha, the terrible tidy woman; socalled,
more in exasperation than admiration,
by the victims of her rabid
cleanliness?Martha, who was too
"near" and saving to pay her sister's
fare across!
They were now thoroughly warmed
to their*subject, and both revelled in
a quaint and homely speech that
would have astonished the clerks outside.
Timothy Burt required the minutest
particulars of people whom until
then he had totally forgotten, and he
was marvelously surprised to find
so many of them dead. It was like
turning over a full page to encounter
a blank!
"We be gettin' along, Tim; gettln'
woldish with -lever chick nor child
to comfort us. It do zim a pity, too
?if you'd a married Lu "
He silenced her abruptly, and again
the golden-haired vision swept fresh
across his fancy.
"It is to be hoped," he said, not
without latent jealousy, "that Looey's
children favor her. That Meech was
always a dumbledore of a man?not
but what he'd a-done for you right
enough."
He had no intention of being rude,
but in the old days Martha had never
minced matters, and he saw no reason
to mince them now.
"They are knowledgeable," she answered
modestly, "and the eldest girl
is like what Looey used to be, so they
tell me. The buoys wur a bit wild
as lads."
Tim P.urt assumed an almost parental
displeasure.
"No management about the father."
lie said. "I'd have hided them proper.
I never could bear bad idle
buoys."
"And yet I can mind of some bad
buoys ca tight stealing apples in
'Squire Thorn's orchard. Tom-fairmaids,
they were?beauties!"
Tim Burt actually laughed.
"And I was the only one caught.
The bailiff hided me for the lot. But
you are right about the Tom-fairmaids.
they were worth a hiding."
"Tim!",. she said, and her voir*
grew more earnest: "Tim, do you
never hanker after the old place?"
"I have 110 time for such fancies,
or I might."
His apathy stirred her luto passionate
speech.
"I couldn't bide quiet but for the
hope of saving enough to carry me
back. Oh! when I do think of all the
miles?the weary miles. I 'zim as It
can't be true. Sometimes in the
work room I see the old home
so plalu as can be! I smell
the gilly-flowers until I'm sick with
longing. Your house was too backsunded
to have them so early as we
?turrlble backsunded your garden
was, but the sun would wake up
mornings before even the wood-pigeons
were calling in copse. Can't you
hear them calling: 'Go to school, you
fool, you fool?' And then we'd meet
you down the knap, where the man
lived who was hagrod. Don't you
mind of the beautiful fresh smell of
the earth, at the autumn plowing,
and can't yoi: see the hedges all a-iire
with red leaves and hurries?"
"You have changed," he said wonderingly.
"I never thought you cared
a trump for such idfc fancies. Now,
Looey "
"It'z being away," she interrupted
hurriedly, "and upon times it is like
a hunger that nothing will s^iy. One
day in the gardens I heard suddenl'se
the lapping of water, just as
The sea would lap in summer, upon
the pebble-ridge of the cove. The
leaping of my heart nearly stopped
it; but when I looked there was only
a foolish little duck squawketing in
a puddle."
She was terribly in earnest then,
and unsympathetic. Timothy Burt
even felt a thrill of something, like
pity, but she had almost forgotten
him, for the still waters running so
deep and so silently for years had it
last tumultously overflowed.
"I do fear sometimes that I may
be strook for death before I've time
to get home. Oh, to die and be hurried
there! I shall never bide quiet
unless I am. laid away in that loe
corner with the dear wold folks. You
mind the little loe corner down by
the plow ground? Your poor wold
mother is burried there, Tim; and
'tis but a shabby grave for such as
her, but there is just space enough
left for a little body like me."
She had not the least idea of asking
any help from him, and she came
to herself trembling and ashamed.
She rose to go, but he stayed her.
She had touched him home at last,
and his own vision was as clotted
and blurred as hers: for once upon
a time he had loved his mother dearly.
There was a long pause, aud then
he plunged his hand into his pocket,
bringing out all the gold it contained.
'Tor the hospital," he said huskily.
"Stay, it is not enough, you shall have
more. I will send for some."
And he did. She went away with
her thin, little, shallow pocket weighted
down with gold. But he did more,
for he sent her home as his paid
agent to personally superintend the
erection of a suitable monument over
?his mother's grave. Before accepting
the commission, she owned to the
innocent deception, and Tim Burt
felt honestly glad that, through his
means his old love might return in
comfort to her native land.
The joy of going home nearly killed
Lucy, until she got used to it; but the
grand memorial over poor, homely
Mrs. Burt almost crowded Lucy herself
out of the loe little corner.?

TRUCK FARMING PAYINC.
Agricultural Department is to Review
the Great Industry.
The Agricultural Department is to
publish an exhaustive report by Ed
ward G. Warde, Jr., ana iuciwin s.
Holmes, Jr., 011 track farming and
the transportation of fruits and vegetables
in the United States.
The increasing population of cities
arid consequent demand for a greater
quantity and larger variety of vegetables
at all seasons, the surplus of
labor in the South after the close
of the Civil War and the building
of many thousands of miles of new
railways have given this industry an
impetus which has caused it to develop
with remarkable activity, and
large areas throughout the entire
country are now devoted almost exclusively
to the growing of what is
known as garden truck.
This is especially true of all the
Southern States, where from late
winter until early autumn thousands
of acres are under cultivation tc supply
Northern narket3 with fruits and
vegetables.
Many of the improved facilities
which" have ?>ccn adopted by the
freight departments of cur railroads
are directly attributable to the handling
of perishable agricultural products.
Routes - have been shortened
through schedules adopted, mctive
power increased, and by the use cf
ventilator refrigeration, speed and
quick delivery, the railroads are enabled
to place the track in the Northern
markets la as good condition as
when it left the Southern farm, even
when It necessitates a journey of
many hundreds of miles.
Such a thing as a particular season
for any kind of vegetable in cr.r
principal markets is at this time
practically unknown, and it Is now
possible to draw upDn the different
sections of the country and receive at
consnn of tho voar nearly all the
standard varieties of vegetables. In
the late autumn and early spring
Florida and the Southern States furnish
the supply for the Northern markets
until the advancing season (which
moves northward at the rate of about
fifteen jmiles a day.) matures the crops
through the Eastern and Central
States. These States supply the midsummer
and autumn markets until the
frosts of winter once mere compel a
return to the South, where a fresh
crop is at the command of the market

My vlfe said she had a premonition t
that we would have an early fall and j u

She reminded me that there were some 1 b
broken glass on t'he roof of the flower u
pit and the sash needed repainting , b
and the shelves renewing anil I might | c
whitewash the brick wall, and so forth '
and so fifth, and so on. Well, I have , p
done all that and was humbly waiting j e
for the next order, when she told me ! i
that Sam, the darky, wasent coming to j b
run the lawn mower over the grass in I b
the front yard and maybe I could do ; v
I it and save 73 cents. Well, I have
done that, but nobody paid me the s
75 cents, and next thing I knew
she sent one of the grandchil- J
dren to me for 75 cents to pay her debt j
to the aid society. These women have
got nearly as many clubs and socie- j i
ties as the men, but they stay at j
home of nights and that is better than
the men do. There are the Masons :
and Odd Fellows, and Nights | ^
of Pythias and Nights of Damon
and the Royal Arcanum and
the Elks and the Nights of Jericho !
and Nights of Labor and they are all 1 '
nights, or midnights, and the women i '
have to stay home and nurse the chil- j
dren. If I was a marrying woman I j s
would strike out the word obey and I ^
put in a promise for the man that he :
wouldn't join anything that "took him g
! away from home at night. It's bad t
enough for young folks to tramp ; k
around at night hunting for the moon, j
They are crazy about the moon, and ; ti
that's why crazy folks are called luna- j g
tics?for luna means the moon, and n
the ticks are not far off on a moonlight
walk in the woods. Last Tuesday !
night there were six couples of our j
lunatics who went up the river road !
In search of the moon. They wanted j
to see it rise from out the water and
they had to get out to the big, flat !
rock in the river to see it, and they p
had to slide down the bank to reach n
the rock, and the young men cooned I
it down first to clear the way, and the &
yaller jackets were waiting for thfem i r'
and by the time the girls were on the ,
slide the little devils began the attack ! g
and they took 'em on the slide in the i o
flask and in the rear, in the face and |
shirtwaist and arms and legs, and took I ^
the young men, too, and such scream- ; a
ing and scrambling was never heard &
or seen in that- part of the country, j j
The young men did not desert their 1 2
partners, but shoved them up the !
slide again with great alacrity. The j
whole party was bunged up amazingly. | ^
Eyes and ears and noses and hands ?
i p
a ad legs began to swell, and they nev- j
er |ot to see the moon at all. The j
girls cried with anguish and the boys j a
moaned and groaned, and there was j c
no ammonia, no soda, no doctor and j
no house within a mile. They could I
Just see enough to find the horses, and fi
by the time they got back home some j o
were blind in one eye and some in j s
both, and you couldent tell a hand \
from a foot, nor a nose from a turnip j e
beet, nor the ankle from the calf?calf j a
of the leg, I mean. Well, they got | a
home about midnight and that five- ;
mile ride was the longest and most 1
miserable of their lives. The young j ^
men have not yet reported for duty, i
nor have the girls dared to look into a ;
mirror, for fear of breaking it. It is j
a wonder that those girls with such |
thin apparel were not stung to death, j
but I suppose that the stuffing and j x
I padding about the breastworks saved j
them.
.We old school boys know something j s'
about yellow jackets. It is bad enough ; h
to tackle a nest in the daytime in open ! ^
ground where you can run and fight, a
but to slide down into one near the
water on a dark night must be awful ti
in the extreme. The last time I came ; n
In conflict with the spiteful things I | d
located the nest and went to the house j *
and got the wire fly catcher and set it h
over the hole. It worked beautifully
and was fast filling up when an outsid- 11<
' er took me "ker-bim" on the back of ! b
the neck and I departed those coasts ! s
with alacrity. By and by the boys j
came and built a little fire not far c
away and set the fly catcher over the n
smoke and killed the whole concern. I n
But you must look out for the outsid- I
ers?the scouts and sharpshooters, j r
Bees can't sting but one time, but a ; ^
Jacket can keep up as long as the poi- j
son lasts. The sting of a bee is bad, j
that of a jacket is badder and a wasp ; e
Is the baddest of all, except a hornet : *
or, perhaps, the devil's packsaddle on I e
a fodder blade. They do say in Texas :
that a tarantula is worse than all the s
rest put together and frequently ; v
proves fatal. They say, too, that any 1 ^
sting is a cure for the rheumatism, | b
but I never found a man that had tried j
it. Some poisons affect one person j
more than another. A good citizen of j n
this county died in 24 hours from a bee g
sting, but my faithful servant, Tip, }
can take them up in his hands and let ; s
them "lite" on hfc neck and face and i r
sting him furiously, and he brushes ^
them off and laughs and says they ; ^
tickle him. I have picked the stings j
off his flesh by the dozen, and he has
never had rheumatism. A colony of j
honey bees number 5,000, yellow Jack- , .
ets 500 and hornets 200.
But this is enough about such pesky j ?
things, though the sting of a mosquito ,
seems to be attracting much attention
from the m? of science. j?
But I was ruminating about things 1
that have to be done before long. My ?
wife says it is about time to make a i
lettuce bed for the winter's supply and
It is about time to transplant two or | E
three rows of strawberry "plants from ^
our own runners, for it Is a good plan i 6
to have some new ones coming on ev- : *
ery year. I receive so many letters |
from good women asking about how to "v
grow them and so forth, that I will s
say briefly: j I
Prepare the ground about like you < \
would for any garden herD or vegetable,
fork deep and manure liberally, f
open a furrow and scatter ashes in it i;
?any kind of ashes, wood, coal or ;
mixed. If you can't sift the ashes, \
be sure and throw out the cinders and c
lumps. Place the plants about a foot . p
apart, spread out the roots, draw the tl
earth around lightly. If ground is dry, b
use water to each plant, then pull some ! b
dry earth over the WGt. That's all. , p
Have the rows two feet apart. If you
have no plants of your own, then or- j
1
er some, and get Brandywine, Lady
'hompson, Gaudy and Excelsior,
'here are several other good kinds,
>ut I know what these are. If ashes
re scarce use a good handful to each
lant. Stable manure makes the plant
row and ashes makes the fruit. Let
ie make another suggestion to thesa
:ood women. If you have no aspara;us
bed, make one this fall. It is the
heapest thing grown, and about the
est. We had it In abundance all the
pring and are now having a second
rop. Buy one hundred or two hunred
crowns at 75 cent3 a hundred,
lant about like you would plant strawerries.
Don't dig any ditch as they
:sed to do. Give a good coat of ma,ure
every fall or winter and the same
ed will last you twenty years. Fork
p the ground once or twice a year,
mt do not fork too close to the
rowns.
Ono other thing and I am done,
lant the small butter bean. It is
ometimcs called the see-wee bean,
t is sure and prolific and keeps on
earing until frost. It will take an aror
or very stout poles to hold up the
ines.
That's all?Bill Arp, in Atlanta Contitutlon.

DENTAL DRILL A COLD MINE,
But It Hit Nivtr Midi Mueh For Its Inventor,
Who Still Lives.
The dental drill has made more than
$3,000,000 for its fnanufaclurers, but the
man who invented it is poor. His name
is Nelson Stow and he lives in Bing*
hamton, N. Y.
Mr. Stow was a man of original ideas.
He helped build the first street car, but
the project was a failure. Having tome
knowledge of dentistry, he set Hfmself
to invent improved implements for the
practice of that profession. He worked
upon the drill for twelve years and long
before he had it finished his railroad line
and all his other property were in the
bands of others. But success came at
last and the flexible shaft drill was com
r*"
Its advantages over the old method
was apparent, and a Philadelphia dental
firm placed many orders for Stow,
whose idea was to manufacture the machine
himself. He started a small factory
in Binghamton and exhibited the
flexible shaft at the Philadelphia Center
nial, where he received many orders for
it.
But in filling these orders a fatal mis:ake
was made. Soon after the machetes
were sent out complaints began to come
in that they were useless. Upon investigation
is was found that a certain part
had been overheated in making the mahines
and all were worthless. The
mount involved was only $10,000, but it
vas enough to throw him into bankruptcy.
He sold an interest in the flexible
diaft to a Philadelphia firm and before
he could get enough money together to
j tart in business again the patent right
had expired.
Other people took up its manufacture
nd it has already yielded them in pro"ts
something like $3,000,000. This is in
he manufacture of dental drills alone.
The flexible shaft, however, is used for
scores of other purposes, particularly in
ight manufacturing, and millions of dol'ars'
worth of them are made every year.
But the inventor doesn't get a cent 0/
;he profits.

. Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, add that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closea Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.
Nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will gi' y. One Hundred Dollars for any
ease of Deafness (caused by catarrh), that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Circulars
