Grant carried out six bushels on
laat Monday afternoon filling: ttvo bar-
rels to the chimes and Having- nearly a
bushel Jeft over which he put in a
third barrel. After this he went to
drive up the cows passing nearly an
hour in hunting for one which he
railed tofinl. Then he milked ate his
supper and shouldering his dip net
went down to the banks of the Penob-
scot to catch smelts. He was gone more
than an hour and in that time secured
abou.t a half bushel of fish all of which
were found the next day scattered
'through the bushes.
Soon after Grant went fishing the
highway surveyor came along and
found the roadtso bad that he felt com-
pelled to hung up a light near the
slough holes to warn travelers of dan-
ger. He borrowed a lantern from Mrs.
Grant and-taking the barrel that was
partly filled with potatoes to hold it
above the mud stuck up his beacon mid
went home. He had hardly ilnishtxl
the job when Grant's missing cow came
up from the pasture. Seeing a light
in the middle of the rond she Aent to
investigate it and soon had her head
far down in the barrel reaching for
xtatoes. It wa well with the cow
until she finished the potatoes and at-
tempted to remove her head from the
ban-el. Then her bonis brought up
against the staves and the barrel with
lantern attached was lifted from the
mud. When the dazed animal had
made a few dozen turns in the road
dashed into a barbed -wire fence and
broken down two small shade trees
she started oft toward the river at a
brisk run swinging her tail above her
back and making the lantern wabble
like a. dissolute will-o'-the-wisp.
. The cow was making about 20 miles
an hour and throwing mud. like a yel
low dog after woodehucks when she
reached the steep part of the hill and
met Grant who was feeling his way
home with the smelts. Over went
Grant into a pool and over him wenl
the frantic cow. Grant picked himself
up looked at tlic receding cow yelled
twice and made for home leaping all
the way and spilling smelts at everv
bound.
When ho had locked and barred th
ioor and wiped off a little mud fronj
his clothing Grant told his wife about
the mishap and asked her if she had
seen a comet go by during his absence.
He felt sure it was a comet that had
hit him because the newspapers said
that comets traveled very fast and were
always well lighted and these two con
ditlons agreed with the manifestations
he hnd observed.
His -wife then related what the sur-
veyor had done and Intimated that II
might have been the potato barrel anc
lantern combination instead of a comet
and as they were both gone she suggest-
ed that he had better investigate some
things before announcing his discovery
Advice of any kind was wasted on Grant
who insisted on taking something hoi
to bed with him where lie stayed until
his wife found the cow caught in s
clump of bushes on the shore and
.brought her home.
The- story would have been kept as t
family secret if Grant had been the onh
man to go smelting that night. There
Averc two others however who stayed
longer than Grant and saw the whole
performance. They helped Mrs. Grant
rescue the cow and then told the story
in the post oiHee. Yielding to the
weight of eidence. Grant has aban-
doned the comet hypothesis and it
yielding to the local demand for cigari
and other things at his expense. X. Y.

CHAPTER XXL Continued.
Elsie in her white robe and simple
wreath of flowers looked like a snow-
drop which had tumbled into a gor-
geous bed of tulips. She had one littlo
shadow of disappointment. Frank her
darling Frank was not flawless he all
ungiftcd with the natural perception
of the beautiful which his wife in-
stinctively enjoyed saw nothing incon-
gruous no lack of harmony in all tho
barbaric pomp around hiin nay even
reveled in its very gorgcousness.
Mr. Woodgrove was as he put it
"mad clean through."
"She might have founded a hospital
with what to-night's flummery will
cost her" he said indignantly "and all
in honor of a foreigner."
Two gushing girls passed at that mo-
ment and Elsie was amused to hear
them murmur:
"Oh the dear dear baron."
"Isn't he a love?"
"So distinguished looking!1
"Such an air."
"But his accent they say is not very
good."
"Pshaw dear you couldn't expect a
baron to talk like a college professor.
Such a man sets tho fashion of pro-
nunciation.' "To bo sure lie does. Oh isnt Mrs.
Grindlay lucky to have captured him?
Why a hundred handsome girls with
oceans of money would have jumped at
him."
But sec! The baron apxironches our
little group with his promised bride
upon his arm.
Elsie was overwhelmed with con-
fusion; but the older lady was too happy
to be uugraeious.
"My dearest" she gushed "I am
charmed to sec you. Uncle it is good
of j'ou to have come. Let me present
the guest of the evening Baron Albert
von Thuu of Carlsbad."
Elsie curtsied the count bowed.
They had met before; but Mr. Wood-
grove scandalized his niece by seizing
the baron's hand and shaking it heart-
ily and assuring him of his pleasure in
meeting him.
"My husband Mrs. Grindlay!" Elsie
blushingly ventured standing aside
that Frank might come to the front.
"Ah Mr. Grey" said that lady all
smiles. "I am delighted to meet ono
of whom I have heard so much. Per-
mit me to make you known to my friend
Count von Thun."
The ban m who had scarcely conde-
scended to glance at tho new acquaint-
ance and expecting tho same provincial
heartiness he had experienced at the
kands of Mr. Woodgrove held out his
hand when to Elsie's horror Grey
who liad half-advanced his own drew
it back bowed and said:
"Sir we have met before!"
Had a bombshell exploded it could
not have caused greater consternation
among the little group.
The baron's face turned livid with
rage. 'Elsie whose brain was full of
duels pstols and all sorts of foreign
abominations felt on the point of
fainting but Mrs. Grindla3' with ex-
quisite tact as though having seen
nothing of contretemps laid her hand
oa the count's arm and led him away
saying with a pleasant smile to Elsie:
"You must go to the children dear
thej are Just wild to sco you.
"In heaven's name man" gasped
Woodgrove inexpressibly shocked
"do you know what you have done?"
"Perfectly well do I know what I
.have done" Grey answered gravely
out firmly. "That man is no more a
German baron than I am. He is"
"Wbo?T )
"Herr Schlossinger the socialist!
Tho old man was so shocked that for
a few moments he could not speak.
"Are you sure?" he asked. "May it
not hare been a case of ' mistaken iden-
tity?" MJ?ay. X am certain."

had been np with the lark and pre-
pared hia batteries before he opened
them upon the formidable German
whose i hold on tho enraptured
widow lie foreboded would be too
tease to be shattered by any unsub-
stantiated testimony of his. A .tele-
gram to Cob Gilchrist the reformer
and editor of the Chicago Labor Times
had brought back the sharp response:
"Schlossinger absconded some months
ago with funds of our society. Warrant

out for his arrest. lias left wife and
five children here destitute. Cause po-
lice to detain him."
Armed with this important missive
the two gentlemen made their .way to
the Fifth nvenuc mansion.
Early as it was to Mr. Woodgrove's
dkgust the widow was unapproach-
able and Schlossinger had been dele-
gated to receive them.
"Horr Schlossinger." Frank began at
once plunging in wju'Am res with a stern
resolution to hurry through h- disa-
greeable duty "I have this day re-
ceived a communication from Col. Gil-
christ of Chicago concerning yni."
"Bah! Gilchrist is one imbeci e."
."Churging you with misappropriation
of the funds of a society to which you
belonged. Already the detectives are
on your track and "
The agitator's lip curled contemptu-
ously. "You let off firecrackers an:l think
them bombs" he sneered. ''I sent
them the full amount of the discrep-
ancy two days ago and have received
the treasurer's acknowledgment by
telegram."
"Borrowed I suppose" Mr. Wood-
grove intervened "from your tmfortu-
nate victim upstairs."
"That is my business sir."
"And so" Gray continued "you aro
determined to marry Mrs. Grindlay?'
"Most certainly I am if she will have
me."
"Notwithstanding the little incum-
brance of a wife in Chicago I'nd live
helpless children? Is Mrs. Grindlay ex-
pected to pension them or will you take
the whole happy family to your an-
cestral castle in Fatherland?''
The poor wretch's jaw dropped. He
stood as though turned to stone.
"iio you see man j'our game is up.
You had better throw yourself on tho
mercy of the court" Grey said de-
cisivelj'. "lou Hold tlio trump cards. 1 am
beaten" was the spiritless ansvVer "so
dp your worst."
Now it was Mr. Woodgrove's turn to
take a hand in affairs.
"Frank" he said impressively "wc
must not be too hard on this pcor char-
latan for he has a grand excus-i for his
rascality in the phenomenal fJlly of
my niece who has gone about for
years like a silly sheep shaking her
golden fleece and crying to every ad-
venturer: 'Come rhcar me.' No I don't
think we must be too rough on) Schlos-
singer." So the end of it was that the German
went his wav contented with fairly
full pockets and Mrs. Grindlry regis-
tered a vow that she would never again
put faith in living man much to tho
satisfaction of her friendsand children.

Deep in a wooded recess on tl'c banks
of the Derwent in merry old I'ngland
lies the little village of Hclhertqn
slumbering in the noonday sun as it
did when we saw it last twenty years
ago.
Can jou not see' it? Abroad common
yellow with buttercups a feiv farm-
houses an ivy-elad parsonage an an-
cient Norman church a dozen resi-
dences of small gentility a street with
quaint shops bow windows with dia-
mond panes a ruined monaster; a
Saxon stone cross and the Bull's Head
inn with its big swinging sign and you
have the whole scene before you.
There is bustle to-day about this old
hostelry for there have arrived a young
eouple from far-off America whose ad-
vent has set every tongue a-wagging.
"This is reversing Kin Van Winkle's
slumber and waking up hundreds of
years ago" says the young gentleman
glancing around with honest admira-
tion at the old-fashioned room with its
oaken panels waxed floor and an-
tique furniture. "Bat two weeks ago
Elsie we were in the New World and
now "
"Wc are in the old oh doesu't it
seem like a dream Frank?"
"What a well-groomed country" Grey
cried going to the window and gazing
with all the ecstasy of an American on
his first sight of rural England. "One
would think they combed the grass and
brushed the trees."
But her voice with more enthusiasm
burst forth in a perfect song of delight:
"To me it is a vision of Paradise tinged
with the hallowed essence of home."
Then Grcgson came and spoiled the
picture. He had traveled in hot haste
from London to meet them at this ren-
dezvous and was if possible more ob-
jectionable in dress and manner than
ever.
Elsie will never forget that little drive
to Scarsdalc Abbey. She used to de-
clare that in that short half-mile she
had at least a dozen originals of the
daintiest vignettes that ever graced tho
pages of the English poet's otvn paint-
big. At length the park gates were reached
and the carriage swept up the broad
drive under the elms startling the deer
and when the old Elizabethan house
rose to view the enchanted girl could
aot repreee eery of pore delight '

into a Bwaafrooca. there to
await tho pleaaareof tfceold man at
whose request tbey had journeyed so
lap over land anise.
f Norwaa their patSeftee tried for ere
long an' old servitor entered and re
spectrally begged that Mrs. Grey would
follow him.
"Guess we're not in it" sniggered
Grcgson "an' as I'm not wanted to do
the introduction I guess 111 go back to
the Bull's Head and trait orders. I
ain't achin' for an interview."
Frank gladly excused him.
Meanwhile Elsie Grey stood in the
great library facing her grandfather
stood on the same spot where twenty
years before her mother's unclo had
made the infamous compact that had
condemned her childhood to tho care of
humble strangers.
She looked nervously at tho tall
stooping figure before her. How dlf- :
fercnt he was from tho man she had
pictured. His face wore so sweet an '
expression his voice was so low and
musical that all fear fled from her on
the
ic instant
"My child! my dear dear child!" ho
"Grandfather!" Elsie cried with nuiv-
falter
"Gr
ering lips as she flew to his arms.
Again and again ho kissed her and
it was long before the first passion of
the meeting had subsided and their
nerves were sufficiently under re.-tramt
to ennblc them to sit and converse like
rational beings. t
It seemed a long time to poor Frank
who all deserted sat in the great drawing-room
devoured with anxiety about
his girl-wife who had disappeared
alone into the lion's den. In fact he
had half made up his mind to rush to
the rescue when the door opened and
Elsie appeared leaning lovingly on tho
arm of her grandfather.
"And this is ray husband Frank
Grey" she said proudly. "You must
be fond of him for my sake."
"Nay fur his own sake I am sure"
said Sir Gordon Hillborough grasping
tho young man's hand warmly "lint"
he added with a little stare of astonish-
ment. "I had been told he was an
American."
"And so I am sir" Frank declared
stoutly.
"Yet really now you look "

THE MONKEY AND THE SUGAR. '
j
Tho l'oor Simian nrly ttors Crazy Try-
1..U to Cct Ihc Sweptnoss. j
A tame monkey in India recently was
given a lump of sugar in.su e a corked J
bottle. 1 he monlcey was of an inqttir-
ing mind and it nearly killed him. :
bometmies man impulse of disgust
..: i .. :i- 1....1 i
he would throw the bottle away out of
his own reach and then be distracted
until it was given back to him. At
other times he would sit with a coun-
tenance of the most intense dejection
contemplating the bottled .sugar and
then as if pulling himself together for
another effort at solution would stern-
ly take up the problem afresh and gaze
into the bottle lie would tilt it up one
way and try to drink the sugar out of
the neck and then suddenly reversing
it. try to catch the sugar a it fell out
at the bottom.
Under the impression that he would
capture the sugar by surprise he kept
rasping his teeth against the glass in
futile bites and. warming to the pur-
suit of the revolving lumps used to tie
himself in regular lumps around the
bottle. Fits of the most ludicrous :rH-
nreholv would alternate with spasms
of delight as a new idea seemed to sug-
gest itself followed by a fresh series of
experiments.
Nothing availed however until one
day a light was shed tir-m the problem
by a jar containing hanr-.ua:; falling
from the table with a crash and the
fruit rolling about in all directions.
His monkeyship contemplated the
catastrophe and reasoned upon it with
the intelligence of an Humboldt.
Lifting the bottle high in hi-; claws
he brought it down upon thelloor with
a tremendous noise smashing the
glass into fragments after which he
calmly transferred the sugar to his
mouth and munched it with much sat-
isfaction. Christian Ail vocate.

should they deny their children the ad"
ditio'nal protection which this principle
affords and in the inculcation of thu
principle how important its practice oa

some parents mistake their relation to
their little ones. Flowers they think
they are to perfume their wilderness

will bloom and diffuse a awect fra-
grance foiever; but if neglected no
deserted .garden will end forth an in-

beauty to impart to life the spirit of
poetry! Ah. in that little one now so
apparently simple there ia a nature
that may yet outrival an angel's grace
or a devil's malignity l'laytliings!
If when gamboling around the parent's
chair or nestling in the parent's bosom
they could stand up in all the ftillnes
