OWDYI 'Tis noL word for it-to( I "genteel by half. We were as wicked a set at our dig gin's as New South ' Wales could shom a -no slight thing. If the world's ket .-tle had been set oz ' '! the boil we'd have I come to G e top as prime scum-truth, and no lie, mate. But among us was a man dubbed "the Squire," because, though he fared like the rest of us, toiled, lived and dressed just as we did, yet there was that in him which stamped him as of quite a differenl breed. S-ells out of luck are to be found by the bushel in Australia; still, I never came upon his double before or since. Rumor went that he was a baronet at home in England, but had been forced to cut and run ; so he tried New South Wales and the gold dig gin's, bent on succeeding. He did not live alone; his daughter was with him, though how and when she reached him none knew; she had reached him, and bore her strange life as best she might. They dwelt in a small shanty in the midst of many pines, a poor, rough place, far apart' from the other huts; a queer frame for such a stately picture of a woman -a lady, with the same superior bear ing visible in her father. I'd walked 3 that way with the Squire once, and she ran out to meet him. The sight of her struck me all of a heap, so unex pected in the lonely spot, where there : was no other company than the bright -winged birds, no other sound than the stir of the windy trees. She was tall, the color of wild roses in her cheeks, heaven's blue in her eyes. Her dress, dark and close-fitting, had none of the I flashy ornaments that women such as I we take up with craR on; her hair, coiled smooth about her head, shone t like black satin. "This is one of my-chums, my I dear," said "the Squire," with his soft voice and his hard smile. Since then, I had hung about the Log house often, labor ended. I I retohed water, got in sticks, cleaned boots, or did such odd jobs which I were not fit for her, and said no word;i but she found me out in a brace of I shakes, and grew used to and was thankful for such help as I could give, knowing that I meant no harm, though I startled her at first-a great Orson of a chap in my rough gear. -' One evening I came on her watch ing in the gloaming. How eerie it was underneath the trees; the windI soughed through the branches, bring ing a dash of rain; a deluge was in the bslack clouds sweeping across the sky. 1 r "I am anxious about my 'father," I she said, looking like a tall white lily I that somehow had been shoved into the wrong pot; and stouching my big earth-stained fingers with her fine, slim hand. "I am always anxious about him; though, since knowing ypu, I have not felt so absolutely dis tressed, for I am glad to recolleot that you are within his call. You would I stand between him and harm, I think." - "Why, yes, Miss; make your mind easy on that score; 'twould be done, with awill. But what harm is like to -ome, that you need flurry?" a-."Ned 1' she cried, stopping sud-. Eenily, (her father always called me' so)ft"I had such a curious dream last night. 9I dreamed that I went down into the little valley beyond the wood, I and there I saw my father lying on I phe grass sound asleep-so sound that Wcould not wake him; while the clus ters of wild flowers sprang up so high that they hid him iand I heard the rpines in the distance chanting a so!-. emn kind of litany. I was crying I hen I woke. " l'You are too much aloney Miss, and grow nervous." "Xy father has been very fortunate lately, has he not?" she asked, "He has had some good finds, miss; .and to-day he got hold of two jolly big nuggets." ' Iam glad. Will he bring them home this evening?-What's that?" and she sprang to the door, flinging it open, the shine of the lamp behind her. "Dearest father !" she cried, "is it you?" But she broke off, alarm in her voicv: "Ned ! Ned !" for no father was there, but two of-the worst of our lot-scamps for whom hemp was grow ing; the one a blackguard sailor; the other a smartish, slimp chap, thin, dark, lying. His name 'was Phil Dawlish. I remembered now, as I saw him by ihe flash of the light, that he as well as I, had been near when "the Squire" held up the two great nuggets; and ii struck me-I'm quick at conclusions that both scoundrels had not intended to come up to the house, but were just 'urking round-What for ? Miss Helen-I only knew her by her Christian name then-faced them steadily, though she had called me to( her, and asked what they wanted.

"No," she replied, nodding her head I .nigh, to show she was not frightened; but I, being close to her, could hear her heart thudding like a hammer, g while the blood flamed to her brows j ender the foul gaze roving over her. c "Why do you ask ?" "Just this, mum.

Why," with a wist- I al smile, "I am always alone from aybreak until dark." I knew it was the fact; so, bidding i er open to none until she heard me r "the Squire" whistle, I started on r iy errand. fi Not very far had I to go, for I met 0 im in that same little ravine of which U is daughter had dreamed; it skirted h ie pinewood.

He looked t iore content than I had seen him- ti iore at rest, nodding to me in his F atronizing fashion. After a few stray f, ,ords, I related what had happened, vising him to be on his guard. "Thanks, I will,"he replied, haught .y, amused at the scamps asking him 3 pay a visit in their company.

A very novel combination of interest% As now being consummated in some of the Western cities in the union of plants built for the production of light with plants for the manufacture of ice, the same companies intending to ope rate the two plants as a joint enter prise. This idea has also taken root near at home, and the plans for a gas and ice plant in a nearby city are al ready in an advanced state of prepara tion, says a Chicago newspaper. This new development of the artfM cial ice business has been brought about largely -by the improvements made in the process of its manufacture, which have not only materially im proved the quality of the product, but reduced its cost to a point that seems to assure a very large profit even at a price much below that possible to those who get their supply from nature't %tock. It is claimed that the "plate" process enables the product to be made entire ly free from impurity of any sort, freez ing from a plate outward, tending, to expel all the impurities which by the "can" process of freezing from the four sides of the cake, are lodged in the cen ter of the block. The "plate" process obviates also all of the necessity for raIsing the temperature of the water before it is frozen and the best results so far gained by the "plate" process indicate a product of ten and five eighths tons of Ice from a single ton of coal where artificial heat is de manded in supplying power for thr anufacture. In the "can" process the results ars said to have never exceeded seven tons of ice to a ton of coal and the averagE product has been much less than this proportion. The "plate" process neces sitates a heavier investment in the or iginal plant, but gives a hIgher per centage of return upon its cost wher once in operation. A "Petrifying Spring" in Georgia. The recent accounts of the wonder 1'u properties of a -certain creek in the Black Hills country, which is said to ~ransform plants, nuts, leaves, and even flesh, into solid stone, reminds ie that there is a spring in Brooks County, Georgia, which in a very short time converts wood and several other mbstances into hard rock. The peculiar :ualities of this Georgia fountain have been known since early in the century, when an old "b'r hunter" accidentally lost his knife in the basin, 'which has been hollowed out of the granite strata by the ceaselesbubbling of the water. & month later the old trapper again repaired to the spring and was agree ~bly surprised to find his favorite knife. The water had had no effect apon the bright steel, not even to the extent of leaving a speck of rust, but with the wood of the knife's handle it was far different. The petrifying particles with which the water is so highly impregnated had entered every pore and sap-tube in the wood, and what was but a few weeks before a hickory handle of "home-make" was now two thin slabs of solid stone, wood-like in appearance, but as hard nd unyielding as a chip from a granite bowlder. To this day the place is known as "Old Moore's Petrifying spring. "--St. Louis Republic. - he Biggest-& - Cask is the new tun at Munich. Diamond is the Jagersfontein gem f 971 karats.

Morri son. The colonel believes thoroughly in the efficacy of discipline. H'e ha spent a great part of his eventful ca reer in hotels, and one of his theories has always been that the mind can be so trained that the biggest sort of a hotel fire is powerless to sidetrack the reasoning faculties on occasions when presence of mind is needed. He im p ressed this theory very strongly upon Mrs. Morrison by conjuring up a va lety of critical exigencies and instruct ing her how to act in given cases. Fate would have It that the colonel should be put to the test He and his wife were aroused from their slumbers one night by an alarm of fire. The hotel in which they had their rooms was afire and great confusion and tumult ensued among the guests. "Now Is the time to put into practice what I have always preached to you, my dear," 1said the coloneL "Don't get excited. Put on your indispensable apparel and take your time. Don't lose your head. Jst watch me." He calmed Mrs. Morrison's anxiety, handed her the various articles necessary to her toilet, put on his collar and cuffs, took his watch from under his pillow and placed It in his vest pocket, put on his hat, packed a valise of valuables, and, taking his cane, walked with Mrs. Morrison out of the burnng building Into the street. "Now, ny dear," he said when they were safe, "don't you see what a grand thing It Is to keep cool and act with a deliberate p~urpose in an emergency like this'i Here you are completely dressed as though you were going out for a walk, ana over yonder are several ladies in complete dishabille." Just then Mrs. Morrison for the first time glanced at her husband. "You are right, William," she. said, "It is a grand thing to keep cool aryd act deliberately, but if I had been you I would have stayed in the room long enough to put on my trous ers.".. y!Cws ThiIZ We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cuzed by F.l' a Ci~~r - Co., Props., 'Toledo, 0.
