A prolonged tit of "sulks"" indulged in by Mrs. Care v." 1k.'aause her husband had forgotten a cer 'illU r>j.v.: u<ui v.... with had culminated in verbal warfare following the removal of the cloth after dinner, and this was followed shortly after by the removal of the master of the house. The act had hecn prefaced by a statement on Harry's part that if she was going to sulk all the evening he would go out ami amuse himself, and then, hardly giving Millie time to get in a last word Mr. Carew had dashed into the hall, snatched hat and stick and quirted Laburnum Villa, closing the front door behind him with a vigor that shook the whole house. When perfectly convinced that she had driven him off the premises. Millie repented with the thoroughness that marked nil her aciions; she ran into the hall and opened the front door, in the vague hope that Harry was within calling distance, bur there was nothing but darkness to be seen, and she reluctantly closed it again. And Harry had gone out without his great coat?he would catch cold, be | very ill. perhaps die. and she would be responsible; the tears came into her eyes at this train of thought, and she felt herself the wickedest woman in London. As she stood remorsefully gazing at the garment Ilarry ought to have been wearing she saw it lacked the top button, and remembered during dinner Harry had said something about a button eominrr off his srreat coat. Millie carried the coat into the dining room and fetched lier work basket. The button should be put on at once. She laid the coat ou a table for greater convenience, and as she did so a letter slid out of the inside breast pocket. Millie picked it up. "Henry Carew. Esq., Acanthus Club, Earl street, W. C., was tlx? inscription, in a feminine hand, and the postmark was on that day, and Harry's excuse for forgetting his commission had been pressure of work at tlie office; yet lie had found time to visit the club. Who was his correspondent? "He certainly oilght to tell me; it doesn't look like a business letter," said Millie to herself, and then somehow the letter came out of the envelope. She was only looking for the signature, but the heading first caught her eye, and it was, "My darling Harry." After that it is needless to sqy she read :he letter. The address was 0, Queen inue Villas, Wellington Itoad, Ivcnsel Rise. "My darling Harry ? Your bracelet lame by this morning's post; it's just lovely. But you mustn't be so extrav?ant. Be sure and come this evening to be thanked and scolded by your lov ng sweetheart. . Doris Forbes." Milly turned very white and held her breath. What did it mean? Slie looked again at the address, at the envelope, oT-nmitiii/1 tlir, r?n?im<aH.-c Tliovo prmlfl be no mistake; the letter was genuine, addressed to Harry, received and read by Harry ? Harry, who bad married her a little over a month ago. Presently she rose to her feet, shaking with emotion. That was where he had gone, to sec this Doris Forbes; well, she would follow him. expbsc him to the innocent girl to whom he was obviously passing as a single man. Sternly repressing a longing to cry, Millie went upstairs and put on her hat and cloak; she would not let herself think of the future, but kept firmly before her the thought of exposing Harry to the girl he was deceiving. With the evidence of his double dealing in her pocket she came downstairs, and leaving the great coat still lying 011 the table, lacking its top button, she opened the front door and flipped rpiietly out of the house. II. The Carews lived in Kilburn. so it was not far to Kensel Rise, and a cab speedily deposited Millie at the gate of No. G; in response to her rap a trim maid opened the door. "Is Mr. Carew here?" asked the wife, trying to speak in an ordinary tone. "No, ma'am, he's not." The servant turned and addressed a young lady who was descending the stairs: "A lady, Miss Doris, asking for Mr. Carew; are you expecting him this evening?" The girl came forward and glanced curiously at the visitor. Millie noted she was slim and pretty, with fair hair and delicate features. Mr. Canny may come here this evening," said Miss Forbes, courteously; "did you want to see him?" "You will do," muttered Mrs. Carew hoarsely, and without asking permission stepped into the hall. The servant had retired, and the two women faced each other under the ornamental gas bracket. "I must have a few words with you," said Millie. Miss Forbes, without answering, led the way into an empty sitting room, then coldly addressed the visitor. "What have you to say to me?" "Are you engaged to Mr. Carew?" burst out Millie. The girl flushed hotly. "Yes, but who are you, and why do you ask?" "Because I have every right to ask. Because he is deceiving you. Because he is my husband." "Your husband!" Doris stared at the strange young lady who made this astounding statement. "Oh, no! you must be mistaken." Millie thrust the letter before the other's eyes. "You know your own letter, don't you? Well. I found it half an hour ago in my husband's great coat pocket," "There must bo some mistake. Have you got the envelope?" "Henry Carew, of the Acanthus Club, is my husband: be married me a littleover a month ago," replied Millie, producing the envelope. "I can't believe it," said Doris, slow IN THE CORNER. You've known these quiet fellows that just sat around and thought And never made a noise while the others raged and fought; The whole community had conic to think of them as dead, Or else so very near it that their hope of fame had fled. The chaps with recognition for their portion pose and strut, And seem to overlook the man who keeps his talker shut. But some day. when 'most every one is looking t'other way, This quiet fellow sees a chance to break into the plav. lie reaches out and grabs things that the others had ignored; He puts into the life-game all the energy he'd stored Through all the years of silence. So you'd better not forget The stiii man in the corner, for he'll reach the king-row yet! ?S. W.

"That will be h?," she cried eag ! oily; "now* wo can have this cleared." ' She opened the door. "Jane, if that's !

Mrs. Carew j stood by the corner of the table mo! tionlcss, but Doris, in a fever of anxj icfy, moved restlessly to and fro. The j moments seemed to Crag, the delay to be endless, but really only a couple of | minutes had passed before the door j opened again, and the maid's voice announced "Mr. Carew." A young man strode in. "Doris!" he cried, as he came toward Miss Forbes with outstretched hand and a smile on j his face, but slie just touched the ex! tended lingers and indicated Millie. "Do you know this lady ?" she asked. III. The young man announced as Mr. and Mrs. Carew looked at one another I across the table, "I have not, to my j knowledge, that pleasure," he said po| litely, and then stared with amazement at the relief cn his betrotlied's face and the bewilderment on that of (he strange lady. "I knew* it!" cried Doris with heartfelt relief. "She said?she must he crazy?that you were her husband." "I her husband!" "Is this your Henry Carew?" Millie finally found voice to say to Doris. * Yes, of course it is! Now will you kindly explain what you mean by saying lie married you a month ago?" "I never saw this gentleman before in my life. I said I was married to Henry Carew; in my husband's pocket this evening I found the letter I showed you just now." In fact, except being about the same lieierlit. there was not the smallest re semblance between the visitor and Millie's husband. "Ah, the letter!"' cried Doris; "that's what so bewildered me." She turned to her Harry. "Where is the letter I wrote you by the hist post this morning, addressed to your club, which you ought to have received?" "I did receive it; r.t 2 o'clock to-day, when I went to ihe Acanthus for luncheon. "I have it now,"?he dived into his breast pocket of his great coat ?"why, no! it's gone." "How did it get into my husband's coat?" demanded Millie; "that's where I found it." Henry Cnrew tlx? second took the letter and envelope Mrs. Carew produced and gazed wonderingly at them. "This is positively uncanny!" he stated. "Has the coat been out of your possession?" asked Doris, as he seemed unable to give aDy explanation. "Let me think. I read the letter in the vestibule and put it in the breast pocket of my overcoat. I hung the coat on a peg in the luncheon room while I lunched. Then I put it on and went out. No, I didn't. I had half an hour to spare, and had a game of billiards and gave the coat to a waiter, and he brought it to me when I finished, and i pui it; on ana wem: out. aju: is youi husband a Henry Carew?" inquired the young man of Millie. "Of course." said Mrs. Carew, impatiently, "or all this trouble wouldn't have arisen." "Then I believe I know who youi husband is." was the triumphat reply. Millie, who in her bewilderment, was beginning to wonder whether the existence of her Harry was not imagina-1 tion on her part, gave him all her attention, and Doris began to think liei supposition that her visitor was crazy might be incorrect. "He's Paul Carew, the junior partner of Stephens & Co., the wool brokers?" asked the young man. "Yes, yes," cried Mrs. Carew, eagerly, and in her excitement ungrammatically added, like the monks wher they spotted the thieving jackdaw, "that's him!" "But still," continued Miss Forbes's | Harry, speaking more to himself thai to his eager audience, "that doesn't explain how he got?why, I don't believe tliisjs my coat!" He was feeling in the pockets of his I overcoat with a puzzled expression and looking at a season ticket pass | drawn from the ticket pocket. "That's Harry's ticket! You've go; on his coat," cried Millie, a ray of liglr illuminating the puzzle, "and he's goi yours?but they're exactly alike." "Of course they are," said Harry Ca rew; "Harry and I patronize the saint tailor. He must have been at the clut to-day, though I didn't see him, anc the waiter mixed up our coats." "You know my husband?" "I should think I do. Why, we'n first cousins, and have been greai chums till a year ago, when we quar r-eled over some trifling matter, anc haven't spoken since. I heard he re cently married. Hasn't he never tolc you of his cousin Harry Carew? Fancj that!" "Well, Harry," said Doris, "you've never told rne you had a cousin of tlx same name as yourself." "Haven't I? That's just how we've drifted apart. I must make it up witl Harry; I'm Harry Solus, he's Hen 17 Paul Carew. Now, is everything cleai to you two ladies, and are the charac tors of Harry and Harry Paul cleared?' And both the matron and the male declared the two Harry Carews wer< completely vindicated. Harry went home with his relatioi by marriage to fetch liis own overcoa* and return his cousin's, and then lef with a message to his old chum tliahe would call on him 011 the morrou at his office and "make up" their quar rel. and presently Mr. Carew returnee and Millie made full confession of a! that had happened since his departure So. the moral of it is, never judge bi circumstantial evidence. ? New Yorl News | BERSEEM FOR FARMERB, | A New Word Here, and the New Thing 1 f it Denotes Comes From Egypt. j ( Berseem is to be brought to the Uni- j ( ted States to help out In the National j Irrigation scheme. No doubt not or.e t reader in a thousand will know whether berseem is something from the inside of a pyramid or an clement of * beeswax. The United States Govern- 1 ment has just issued a booklet about ^ it written by David G. Fairchild, who is described in the big Blue Book as "Permanent Agricultural Explorer, Division of Seed and Plant Introduction, ^ Bureau of Plant Industry, Department of Agriculture." Surely berseem j must be very important or this dis- { tinguished explorer would not have 1 taken the time to write a book about I it and illustrate it with fine photogra- ! . vures. When land has had no rain for cen- j < turies a salty deposit gathers near j ( the surface. The scientist knows exactly why this is so, but it is hardly worth while to explain. When these arid lands arc covered with water the - 1 - * A.' ~ 1 + ?r first result ::s ine loriiiuuuu ui u | crust. This plays havoc with the intentions of the agriculturist. lie tries f to set rid of this salty deposit by deep tilling, but this will not always work. ( When the department determined that ] th's salty crust was one of the lm- ] portent handicaps of the irrigation < schemes, it undertook to find a plant ' which wouli neutralize these salty deposits. This was the quest of David G. Fairehill, and he reports that he found in berseem, the fodder and soiling plant oZ Egypt. Trifolium Alcxadrinum, just the thing for a rotating j crop for irrigated land. Not only will bcrseem be useful in j , eating the salts which hamper the ir- j ^ rigation agriculturist, but it furnishes , the manure to enrich the soil. America here ge:s another important lesson from the Egyptian. The fellabin (farm labojer) bave for centuries used the manure of the stables for fuel. Girls are employed to mix it with earth ] and the dried cakes are burned. In ] fact, it is the principal fuel. The soil, deprived of its natural enrichment, j would deteriorate were it not for the i wonderful properties of the fodder crop. The keenest modern agriculturists of the Nile Valley report that without this wonderful plant the soil ' would soon become so weak, despite ' the deposit of silt from the overflowing waters, that it would become worthless. The silt is almost devoid of the necessary nitrogenous matter. The berseem also keeps down the weeds. The report of Mr. Fairchild says: "Nothing among the varied agricul tural sights which interest the tourist ; in Egypt is so interesting as the cul- ; ture, harvest and marketing of this ; green fodder crop. Every coachman i has a bunch of berseem or a bag of it < under his feet, with which he feeds 1 his horse at the cabstand. Every < drayman 1 as on top of his load a bag 1 of it for his horses or bullocks, and i the donkey beys carry a bag of it for their much-abused' oeasts. In the early morning the avenues leading to Cairo are lined with long files of camels and dorf. eys bearing the green forage. About its culture all other agricultural crops are arranged." The plant resembles clover and the stems are very succulent, in every way more delicate than clover or alfalfa, and it is eaten not only by domestic animals, but by the farm laborer.?Cin- ? cinnati Commercial Tribune.
