The Squire’s Apples.
“Such pretty apples!” cried Lin
net Dessoir, ecstatically. “With
red cheeks, jnst as if a fairy pencil
bad painted them, and delicious,
bloomy streaks here and there! I
should like to oopy them on a pla
que or a pauel or something, if only
one oonld be sure of reprodnoing
those delicate tints ot rose and
white!"
“Well, I declare!" said Rose He
bron, the country cousin, whom she
was visiting, laughing with a mer
ry, thrash-like laugh, as the two
girla sac on a moss-enameled boulder
Under the boughs of the lady-apple-
tree, with here and there a yeilew
leaf flattering dreamly down at
their feet, “Who would dream of
such a poetical description applying
to the apples that grow in Squire
Sandford'g orchard?"
“Wasn't it good ot him to allow
us to gather them?" said Linnet,
trimming the aide-leaflets off a love
ly branch of yellow golded-rod.
“I shall not believe that they are
absolutely ours though," declared
Rose, “until I see them in the old
apple bin at home."
“Why not?”
“Oh, Squire Cedric is eccentric!”
Rose answered, carelessly.
“Cedric? Is that bis name?”
“Yes. Isn't it an odd relic of the
Saxon times?" laughed Rose.
“It’s a very romantic name,” re
marked Linnet, wrinkling her brows
in pretty consideration of the epi
thet.
“Zfe isn’t romantic," observed
Rose.
“Isn’t he? But why not?"
“He's so old! Thirty, at least!”
Rose responded, with an emphatic
nod of the bead.
“Horrid ogre!'* said Linnet, who
was in her seventeenth year.
“Come, Rosey, let’s go home. I’m
as hungry as a cannibal! Gathering
apples is such bard work)"
She skipped ahead,, with her yel
low tresses floating behind, like
stray strands of sunshine, aud her
while dress rustling over the drifts
of perfumed leaves that carpeted
the path.
Rose followed, with affectionate
eyes of admiration.
“What is the difference oetweeu
me aud Linnet?" she asked herself.
“My dress is white also; my hair is
as gold as hers. Why is it that site
is like a dancing npirte~-I, a plod
ding human being?"
Poor little Rosy! She did not rea
lize that Linnet Dessoir had grown
up in an altogether difl'ereut atmos
phere; that Linnet bad unconscious
!y modeled her dress from the grace
ful robes which her lather, the ar
tist, kept to drape his lay-figures;
that her eye bad been trained, her
taste cultured, in every possible
point.
“He’s only a poor struggling ar
tist!" Farmer Hebron bad been
wont eoutemtously to observe, when
he saw his brother-in-law’s name
among the lists specially honored
by the Academy ot Design,
“He’s a good follow enough,"
Eugene Dessoir airly remarked,
when bis agricultural conne :tion
happened to be mentioned. “But
be has’t an idea beyond his own fat
cattle) He don’t live; he only vege
tates!”
Linnet, however, the bright, moth
erless young beauty, was a great fa
vonte of the kind-hearted Bebrons;
and wben she had so enthusiastical
ly admired the beautiful pink-aud-
white lady-apples on Squire Band-
ford’s tree, Mr, Hebron bad gone
so far out of his way to ask the
squire for a barrel.
“Just to please the little girl,"
said he. “Bbe thjuksadeal ot pret
ty things.”
“She ia quite welcome," said
Squire Bandford, with formal po
Uteueas, “If you will send a barrel
to tbs tree to morrow, Mr. Hebron,
it shall be tilled for your niece.”
Aud wben the squire said tbishe
pictured in- bis mind’s eye the afore
said niece as a romp of eleven or
twelve, with shingle hair, freckles
aud preteruaturally long arms,
AU night loug Linnet Dessoir
dreamed of the lady-apples, and
wheu the sun rose, a sphere of ru
bied fire, above the eastern bills,
stoe jumped out of bed aud dresaed
herself with baste..
“I can't sleep another minute,”
said she, ‘ It’s just tbe very sort of
mejndug to walk oat across tbe
woods and look at tbe lady-apple-
trsa, with tbe little spring gashing
ont so close toils roots, and tbe
blue asters, and thickets of golden-
rod, by the stone teuce. 1 won’t
wake Rosy. Rosy was up late last
night, putting labels ou the quince
ielly. I’ll let her sleep, and go by
myself!"
Rut Miss Hebron was oo more of
a laggard in the moruiug than was
her city oonsin. At seven precisely
she knocked at Linnet’s door, but
the bird bad flown.
“How provoking!" said Rose.
“But I’ll follow ber She mnat have
gone to try to make that sketch of
the old mossy rock close to tbe lady
apple tree! I wonder if she knows
that my father has pastured A) a *
in theadjoiniug field?"
“Ajax” was a savage, beautiful
bull, who was at once the pride aud
torment of farmer Hebron, and a
thrill of terror came into Rose’s
heart as she made all sjieed to fol
low tbe dewy traok of Linnet’s foot
steps over the grass,
As she reached tbe belt of woods
close to the apple-orchard, she paus
ed in dismay at tbe found of a sweet,
high pitched voice.
It’s Linnet!" she Avoiautarily ex
claimed. “And yifehe’s sooldmg
somebody. Deaf me, whom can it
be? Surely not Ajax!"
♦Yon are a tbiei|" she could bear
Linnet exclaim—“a robber j Let
that barrel of apples alqne, I say 1
don’t oare whether yon are Squire
Saudford or not. That barrel of
apples is mine!"
And as Rose drew near, she could
see this dimpled young Amazon
resolutely defending the barrel of
apples, with her single strength,
against Squire Staudford aud his
stoutest farm laborer.
She stood there, with one slight
band on the red-checked fruit,
which was brimming over the bir-
rel-boops, and before ber tbe tall
squire aud his herculean aidrde-
camp were helpless.
“If you will allow me to explain
—" pacifically began the squire.
“I will allow nothing!” declared
Linnet. “I repeat, these apples are
mine! Touch them, at your peril!"
Thus far the young heroine was a
conqueror. But alas! iu that very
momeut of victory Nemesis was at
hand. There was tbe dull sound of
trampling hoofs, theu a sullen bel
low, and Ajax himself, bursting
through a week spot iu tbe fence,
was upon them.
Linnet Dessoir collapsed, so to
speak, at once. She forgot her he
roism, her dignity—everything but
ber danger, and, flew, for rescue, to
Squtre Saudford, shrieking;
“Save mej save mej”
Tbe farm hand dodged behind the
wagon; but Squire Saudford never
quailed, but held her resolutely iu
his arms.
“Do not be afraid," he said, al
most as if he had been speaking to
a frightened child. “Nothing shall
barm yon, little one!"
For ap instant, things look very
black; then Squire Saudford spoke
gently once more,
“Do not hold my arm so tightly,'’
said he, “Let me get at my revolv
er. I must shoot tbe brute! No,
don’t be so terrified. Do not you
bear me say that nothing should
harm you!' 1
And then the problem resolved
itseelf, as problems ofteu do, Ajax,
butting his huge bead against tbe
barrel of lady apples, sent them
rolling iu all directions, and caught
his horns in tbe barrel itself, effect
ually blinding him. He set off at a
wild gallop down tbe bill, bellowing
as be went, and there be met bis
fate in tbe slia|»e of two or three
men with a running noose - of rope
and a good siont chain.
“Hello, pet!" shouted Farmer
Hebron’s voice. '“What’s tbe mat
ter? She hasn’t fainted, has she,
squire?’
And Linnet, realizing that she
was sate, blusliingly withdrew from
Mr. Sandford’s sheltering arms, and
ran to her uncle.
“I am so much' obliged to you,
sir," she whimpered. “And please—
please dou’t mind what 1 said about
the apples. You are quite welcome
to them."
“Hey? Apples?” said Mr. Heb
ron. “Whv, Linnet didn’t you know
that I carted the barrel of apples
that tbe squire give you borne last
night."
Linnet grew erimson all over, and
fled to Rose’s faithful breast tor con
solation
I-*l shall never dare to look that
man in tbe face again," she bewail
ed herself. “Ob, dear—oh, dear,
wbatmust be have thought of me?"
But of course Mi. Saudford con
sidered it only right aud proper to
call that evening, and inquire bow
Miss Dessoir found herself; and
really tbe meeting was' not half as
Linnet bad fancied it would be.
They bad a good laugh about
Ajax and the apples; aud Linnet
confessed bow dreadfully frighten
ed she bsd been.
“And with reason,* said Squire
Saudtord. “There was a second or
two in which we were iu very seri
ous danger.”
“Rut you will forgive me about
the apples ?" said Linnet, with pret
ty, coaxing earnestness.
“Ob, yes, I will forgive you about
thy apples.!" Squire Saudtord laugh
ingly returned.
And iu that very moment Linnet
thought wbat a very pcetty color
big eyes were, decided that he could
not possibly be thirty years old.
• ***■*
“Isn’t it strange," said Rose He
bron, “that we have lived neighbor
to Squire Saudford'all these years,
and be has never been more than
ordinarily polite to mef And here
comes Lionet, and quarrels with
him at five initiates’ notice, and
calls him all sorts of names, and
now they are engaged to be married,
and I am to be tbe bridesmaid."
“Not at all strange P said M iss
' ■ j
Dessoir. “To me it seems as nice
and natural as possible. But you
are mistaken about bis nge, Rosy.
He is only twenty nine. And if he
were a hundred and twenty-nine,
I should love him all tbe same.”
“Of course," said Rose j that is
what all engaged girls say.”—Helen

How to Cook Husbands,
We kuow how food good house
keepers are of good "receipts, so we
insert the following:
Miss Corson said, in tbe Balti-
jnore Cooking School, that a Balti-
^noro lady had written a recipe for
“cooking bnabands, so as to make
them tender and good." It is as
follows;
A good many bnsbands are alter-
ly spoiled by mismanagement.
Some women aot as if their hus
bands were bladders, and blow
them np. Others keep them con
stantly in hot water; others let
them freeze by their carelessness
and indifference. Some keep them
in a stew by irritating ways and
words. Others roast them Some
keep them in a pickle all tbeir lives.
It cannot be supposed that any bus
baud will be tender and good man
aged in this way; but they are
really delicious when properly
treated.
In selecting your husband, you
should not be guided by tbe silvery
appearance, as in buying mackerel,
nor by the golden tint, as if yon
wanted salmon. Be sure and select
them yourself, as tastes differ. Do
not go to tbe market for him, as the
best are always brought to vour
door. It is far better to have none
unless you will patiently learn bow
to oook him. A preserving kettle
of tbe finest porcelain is best; but
it you have nothing but an earth-
euware pipkin, it will do, with care.
Sen that the linen iu which yon
wrap him is nicely washed and
mended, with the required number
of buttons and strings nicely sewed
on. Tie him in tbe kettle by a
strong silk cord called comfort, as
tbe one called duty is ant to be
weak.
Make a clear, steady fire out of
love, neatness and cheerfulness,
Set him as near this as seems to
agree with him. If be sputters and
fizzes, do not be very anxious; some
busbanda do this till they are quite
done. Add a httle sugar in the
form of what eonteciiorers call
kisses; hut no vinegar or pepper
on any account, A little spice im
proves them, but it must be used
with judgment. Do not stick any
sharp instrument into him to see if
be is becoming tender, Stir him
gently. You cauuot tail to know
wben be is done.
If thus treated, you will find him
very digestible, agreeing nicely
with you and tbe children, and be
will keep so long as you want, uu
less you become careless and set
him iu too cold a place.
Curious Coincidence.
The other day while a Michigan
Oentral train was waiting at St.
Thomas a youn* mail of twenty five
was observed to be closely regard
ing a solid looking old gent of fifty
who had come through from Ubi
cago. Finally the young man step
ped up and inquired:
“Isn’t this Mf. R—=-. of Chica
go?"
“Yes, sir.’’
“I am Mr. J—r-forinerly of the
same place but now of Toronto.
Do you rcmeiulwr me?”
“Really, but I do not,"
“1 was a clerk in your pork house.
I aspired to tbe baud of your daugh
ter. You drove me hence because I
had uo ducats.’
“Ob, yes it seems as if I do recall
something of tbe sort "
“Well, sir, I want you to under
stand that you made a mistake. 1
am now worth $18,000, aud could
give your daughter every luxury."
“Eighteen thousand dollars, eb?
That’s quite a sum "
“Yes, sir, and I’m the man you
drove heoce ”
“Eighteen thousand dollars,"
mused the old gent. “Wbat a.cur
ious coincidence! That’s exactly the
sum my daughter's husband gave
her tbe other day to buy summer
pug dogs with! I must jot this
coincidence down."

8onje Rules for Women.
I. Women’s power in the world
is measured by her power to please,
Whatever she may wish to accom
plish she will best manage it by
pleasing. A woman’s grand social
aim should be to please.
a. Modesty is tbe ground on
which all woman’s charms appear to
the greatest advantage. In man
ners, dress, con vernation remember
always that modesty mast not be
forgotten.
3. So tbe woman’s aim is to please
and modesty is tbe first principal iu
tbe art oi pleasing.
4 Always dress up to your age
or h little beyond it L* ,t your per
son be the youngest thing about
yon, not tbe oldest,
5. Remember that wbat women
admire iu themselves is seldom wbat
men admire in them.
fl Women’s beauties are 'seldom
men’s beauties,
7. Gayety tempered by seriousness
is tbe happiest manner iu society.
6. Always speak low.
9. A plain woman can never be
pretty, She can always be iasciu-
atjug if she takes pains,
Ifi Every year a woman fives the
more pains she should take with
ber dress.
II. In all things let a woman ask
what will please the men of sense
before she asks wbat will please
the men of fashion.
