"Oh, tha''s all right," a;uswered Mills; "yve're hired. Didn' t I tell .eh?" And they walked on. In the evening they grew, i' a mieas-* are, confidential, aLhough Rube did ;uost of the talking, as Mills, cobbled :hie defective shoe into a state of use fulness. Before bed time Rube hadt told of Susie Campbell. She was back in Missour'i, where he hinmself had been "born and raised." "I didn't have mouch mooney after father and mother died," lhe went ou, simply, "'and Sue-her father has a >ile. .'1 bet ol man Campbell has .92003 out on mortgage ri ght now." He paused to note the effect; Mills drove another peg. while Rube laughed uervously. "I fell in love with Sue,'' hie continued, "but she wouldn't have i; that is," he corrected, recognizing he awkwardness of the expression, "he didn't seem to be in earnest about it. Not like me, anyhow, but in'ly she laughed and said that if i'd get a fortune she'd marry me. So I struck out west." "Must be a tiue gal," said Mills.I "Hope it ain't serious. Has she got any holt on yeh?" .Rube laughed again. "I wish she had," was his re'oinder; "but since I camne away she hasn't written. Sue's1 just tryviu' me, that's what's she's dloin'. "It's a way women have. When I go back with a pocketful of money she'll be readiy. O'h, I know what women are." John took a last stitch in silence, and held up the reconstructed shee. Thus began, between .John Mills, mniner', and Rub Jackson, boyish, hope ful tramp, one of the serene friend ships whieh last until death. Let the limit not be placed even there; per haps,streugthened and renewed, they last for ever'. During the days the pair worked, speaking little. In the evenings they read and talked, or Mills brought out an ancient fiddle whereon he dis coursed melody most fearsome, but duly applauded. The usual theme of conversationi was Sae.

As Mlills reached thi cabin there was a muffled sound, tremor of rock as the granite mor fain quivered, and'out fromu the slop roled a cloud of smoke. Mills wa soon in the catbin getting supper. In 20 minutes the coffee had bee maude, the haeon fried. and bisenit were crixsping ini the oven. Stil Rube did( not e une "I wonder wher he is.'' said Mills.

"I'm afeard Rube went in, co'jecturled Mills, and hastily remo' ing his coathe dropped it n a powde keg of water, swathed it about his face and started blindly down the slope. At thue foot of it, held down by cruel block, he found Rube, iuert, ai: parently lifeless.: With a giant effoi he almost hurled the block aside, an taking Rube in his arms stagger'ed stumnbled,cr'ept to the outer air.

The inquest was short, resultingi the finding that Reuben Jackson ha come to his death by a dispensatio of Providence, "aided and abetted b: his own carelessness, for the whicl he being a boy, we do not blame him.

SThe late Charles Osborn, the New - ork broker, and General Custer were e intimate friends, and Osborn aunu ally visited the general at his camnpont .the plains. During one of the In e dian campaigns he invited OYsborn andZ -a party of friends out to Kansas, andI, i jafter giv ing thema a buffalo hunt, ar -ranged a novel experience in the way e of an Indian scare. As Oisbornu was i lying in his tent one night firing was e heard at the outposts and the rapid " riding of picketst. "Boots and -saddles" was the order in the dis r turbed atmosphere of the night, and , Custer appeared to Osborn loaded with rifle, two revolvers, a sabre and a a scalping knife. -"Charlie," he said, in his quick, t nervous way, "you must defend your d self. Sitting blisalea-in-Your ,Boots, with Wiggle-Tail-Jim and ! Scaln-Lock Skowhegar are on us in~ t force. I didn't want to alarm you be ,fore, but the safety of my command e is my first duty. Things look serious. s If we don't meet again, God bless [I you." a The broker fell on his knees. "Mer rv ciful powers, Ouster," lie cried, "only - get me out of this! I'll carry 1,000. e 000 shares of the Western Union for you and put you into the firm to get 2a me home. Only save me!" d But Custer was gone, and the camp n by shrewd arrangement burst into a y blaze, and shots and war-whoops were , intermixed, and suddenly a painte.1 'oibject loomed into Osborn's sight, -and something was flung into his face e a human scalp. He dropped to the e ground, said a prayer backward, far e ward and sideways, until the nioise e died away, and there was exposed a - lighted supper table, with this ex t planation on a transparency: v"Csborn's treat!" 0 During a Coolness.

The one big surprise and gift in store for us, says Dame Fasion, is thbe tailor-made suit of rich b~aek silk. it has been fie years now since a costume whnolly of this goods was inl fashion. but t: hate a sumptuously braidel b lac. faiS.e arm:ure or benga. line tailor suit is ats neair the acme of timely taste as any woman can come. No special gifts of porophecy are need ed for the safe assertion that not scores but hundreds of these suits will be ordiered for winter wear, since the honorable service to be extracted from such a costume will be an irre sistible temptation to the woman of moderate ineome, as well as tihe one who eujoys ample meanis. It is true that tailors hardly take kindly to the idea, for the handsomer a silk is the more dif~cult it is to mould on tailor lines, and therefore the mere mechanical part of such a costume promises a big expense. All this taken into consideration, the womn en will undoubtedly order them plen tifully, garnished on the collars, slevs lapels and waistcoats with heavv black silk lace and then rein fore :ng it with a skeleton overlay of narrow black silk b:aid stitched down. In ordering a tailor suit for the sea son, whether it is to be of silk, tweed, mnelton or camel's hair, be sure and de nand the above-mentioned trim ming in places where relief from se vere lines is neede.d for it is the newest and most richly effective method of decoration that the tailors know.

A characteristic story of Genera Lafayette was told in a Paris journa some years ago. At Lamarque's funeral the crowd took out General Lafayette's horses, as the fa'nous soldier was returning home fro~n the service, and drew his carriage to his hotel with many evi dlences of enthusiastic love anid admxi ration. The scene was a stirring one, and a friend, in referring tc it some weeks afterward, s id, "You must hav'.e beenm very muchi pleased."

T scarlet strawberry is a native of V ginia, and was brought to England 1625. Chile gave an excellent varie to France, and Alpine Switzerland h a delieions native berry. And here a hint that may he worth somethi' to American cultivators who live ne the seashore: If the plants in wint be covered with seaweed, the result' a prodigious increase in the size the fruit. In the Isle of Man seawee is invariably employed for this pum pose. Many consider the raspberr nearly as fragrant and delicions the strawberry. It also grew wild i English woods froml earliest times, it does in our own woods. The gooseberry does not appear t have been known to the ancient Gerard calls it "feaburry," a nar" still occcAionally heard3.iven it by th rustics of Yorkshire. It received t' name of gooseberry fromi being use as a sauce for young or "green" ge It was brouight f~mom Flanders, same year that HenryISIII recci' the title of Defender of the Faith, an even as late as the reign of Elizahe its leaves were eaten as a salad h. those who could not afford to send t Holland for lettnee. Blackberriee were well known to the Ro'mans. Plin tells us that the propagation of tree by layers was taug~ht the ancients b the bramb~le-bush.

Another n~ ild berry which the ancients shared in common with us was the whortleberry, or bilberry, or hue'-" be: ry.
