And 11 the master is that one, it’s apt to be bad for the man. Knowing this, John Adams and Emily Bolton resolved tr. keep their engagement to themselves for a bit, until they could start in life on their own account. Why the girl had fallen in love wit]: the man instead of his master it woulc puzzle a conjurer to tell. I’m sure site couldn’t have said herself. It was he John Adams, who suggested secrecy: and Emily, after a little disput; agreed. ' Emily accepted John about Chri: mas time, and he argued that it wont:- be ruin to be discharged in the slact. time. “VVe’ll keep it to ourselves till tin spring, my girl, and then we can snag our fingers at him," said John. ' But Emily had no desire to snap hm fingers "at Reuben Saunders. She was not built that way. She felt sorry £01 him, and wished him all manner 01 good things. Still she was in love with John, and'consequently did as he told her. . But long before spring came—in fact it was the middle Of February—it be- gan to be rumoredabout that John and Emily were engaged. Reuben heard the report and went straightway tc her father’s cottage and asked to see Emily. ' Mrs. Bolton opened the door. She stepped back and called up stairs,— “Em’ly, Em’ly! Here’s Mr. Saun- ders wants to see yer." And then she went about her ‘work and left him standing at the Open door. She, for her part, preferred Reuben to John as a husband for her pretty daughter. That she was the girl’s mother, and knew the value of money by its lack, may account for her pref- erence. Moreover Reuben was as good a man as John, though not so hand- some. “I’ve only come to ask you a ques- tion, Emily,” said Reuben, humbly when at last the girl appeared. ‘ “Say on,” said Emily, not quite a1 her ease, for there had been a time when she had given Reuben encourage- ment. . “I hear that you and John Adams are going to be married.” And Reuben lifted his honest eyes and looked the girl straight in the face. "I don’t see what business it is 01 yours. I suppose we’ve a right—” be- gan the girl, angrily. But before she c0u1d finish her sen- tence, Reuben said, sadly, “I’ve got my answer,” and turned away. The girl’s heart smote her. ‘Stay, Reuben, stay! It’s. not my I did not want to keep it from you. But—but John said—J Emily stopped. The meanness of it all ashamed her. “I know, I know!‘ Adams judges me by himself, and thought I would turn him bit as soon as I heard of it!" said Saunders, bitterly. Of course John’s sweetheart fired up at that. “If you’ve got anything to say against John, you. can say it to some one else Mr. Saunders!” she cried out. “I haven’t!" he shouted back, strid- ing off down the little path to the front gate 'as Emily slammed the door. “I’ll give him a week’s wages and turn him off,” Reuben told himself, passionately. Then Emily’s sweet face rose before him. “I can’t do it—l can’t do it!" he muttered, as he strode on, his hands deep down in his trous- er’s pockets, 'his head bent forward on his chest, a noble man than he thought himself. , CHAPTER II. _ It was with a heavy heart that Em- ily werit to meet her lover the next day, which was Saturday, and there- fore a half holiday. She had not seen him since she told Reuben Of their en- gagemen-t, and was afraid to hear whal Reuben might have said to John about it. The first sight of John’s face when they met reassured her. As I have said before, he was a handsome young man, and as he came smilingly up to her, Emily felt certain that she loved him dearly, and that he was in every ders. Which, strange to say, was not what she always thought about him in his absence. After their usual greet- ing, they turned and walked on togeth- er. _ ‘ “The boss has been very civil to me this morning," said John; “called me into that little office of his, and safe he thought as he’d heard of a place as’d suit me. Kind of foreman’s place down in the shires; a place called Bur dock, I think he said.” “Oh, John, how good of him!” ex- claimed the girl. “H’m,” said John, with a conceiter smile: “don’t you see, eh, he wants t: get rid of me—wants me out of ti.- way so he can come after you?” “No—no; he knows better.” “He’s a precious sight too conceitc to'know better. Lor’ I did laugh in In sleeve as I thanked him, and said - I’d be glad if he’d speak a' word fc me. If I get it we’ll be married rig’ away. Now you see how wise of me ‘ insist on you saying nothing about 0" being engaged.” “You’re quite wrong!” cried Emi 1: who had in vain tried to interrupt +'. flow of her sweetheart’s words. 1 because he knows. He came and asks: me yes te1day, and I told him!” “You told him we were going to be marr- ed ‘7” “Yes, I told him.” repeated Emily “Well, I’m blowed!” and John lookec Then, after a few min i “He must be 1 ? him any m'ore. ~utes’ consideration, mall”. he. exclaimed. To this Emily vouchsafed no reply so John, not exactly understanding hex silence, changed the subject by say- ing,— “Em, you’ve often wanted to go ovei the old Manor House, and you won’t have many more chances if I get this place. Shall we go now?” Emily agreed. She knew the care- taker, so there would be no difficulty in getting in. CHAPTER III. They had wandered about the old place for twenty minutes, and had been everywhere except up in the tow- ers, which was the Oldest part of the house. It had been shut up from the public,,as dangerous, forthe last two years. John proposed that they should go to the top and see the View. Emily was frightened, but he laughed her out of her fears, or out of the expression of them. So they went up; and John, who was in a teasing mood, insisted on their getting out on the roof, which was done by means of a short ladder leading through a. trap door. Though the day was warm for the time of year, Emily soon felt bitterly cold, and said she must go down. John led the way; but hardly had he got his foot off the last rung of the ladder when he felt the tOWer begin to rock. With the impulse of a coward, scarce staying to give a. hasty shout to Emily to follow, he rushed down the stone stairs and out of the place. A mo- ment later there was a series of creak- ing reports, and three sides of he building fell with a. crash to the ground, leaving Emily crouching down in a. corner of the roof, which still hung to the remaining side. Adams ran into the road shouting for a. ladder. Soon a crowd. was col- lected and the ladder was fetched. Too short! Another was found, and while willing hands were lashing the two to- gether, Reuben drove up in his cart. When he heard what had happened, he took John’s place in binding the ladders together, saying—- “You go and tell her what we’re do- ing. I’ll see to this. Reuben had the habit of authority, so John went. When the ladders were firmly bound Reuben and two others carried them through the iron gates into the little park where the tower stood. A mixed crowd of men, women, and children stood breathlessly gazing up at the cor- ner where Emily crouched, her face covered, not seeming to hear the en- couraging words her lover was shout- ing up to her. Reuben looked at the wall. - “We must be quick,” said he to the man next to him, or it’ll be down be- fore we can get her off.” Then after a moment he added: “It won’t bear the weight of the ladder. Run and fetch the one off my cart." This was done, and in a few minutes the third ladder was pushed through the rungs of the first, about four feet from the top, making an isosceles tri- angle. Two men were placed at the foot of each ladder to steady it, and the whole reared sideways against the wall, the apex almost touching Emily, and the upright reaching up above her head. John hadn’t been of much help —he was like one distraught; but when all was ready, Reuben turned to him and said,— “Now, tell her to get on the ladder. Tell her to look up and catch hold of the frame above her head. Tell her she is quite safe.’ John shouted up these instructions but without more result than making Emily half stretch out herthanduand ,shudderingly cover her face again. Then Reuben,— “It’s all right, Miss Bolton. You just get on the ladder—quick, and you’ll be safe enough. There’s half a dozen of us holding it at the bottom,” he shout- ed, encouragingly. CHAPTER IV. Reuben turned to John once more. “Look here, man,” he said, you must go up and fetch her.” “GO up that ladder? It wouldn’t bear the weight of both of us." “Some one must fetch her down. It you won’t, I must.” “I’ll—I’ll hold the ladder.” “Pshaw!” And Reuben turned away. Then suddenly turning back: “Mind you, if I get her dOWn safe, I ,try my luck again.” And shouting to the men to hold the ladder firm, he cautiously, went up. “Emily,” said he, as he touched her, “we must change places my girl.” She looked at him, her eyes wi.d with fright. “That’s right! You keep look- ing at me, and doing as I tellyou, and, you’ll be as safe as a trivet,” said he. cheerfully, though his heart was work- ing like a steam engine. 'How he man- aged to change places with Emily he never knew. He always said it was her trust in him that did it. When she was safe on the ladder and he clinging. to the fragment of wall, he said, im- pressively— “Go down the ladder as'quickly as you can, and I’ll follow. In two min- utes "the whole place’ 11 be down." Emily gave him one swift look them sent the blood tingling through '11 s veins, and in less than a minute she was on the ground. John, who had 1101 been allowed to hold the ladders, trier to put his arm around her, but sh;- pushed him from her as she breathles 2.- ly watched Reuben’s descent. Then turning to him,— “Go!” she said. “Go! When I 1113.?» ry, I’ll marry—I’ll marry a man!” After that she fainted. She did marry a man. was Reuben Saunders.

DANCING T0 CURE AILMENTS. .1- Curious Hedlaavul Custom in a Little; , .Town in Luxembourg. Modern civilization is fast improving ancient customs off the face .of the earth, yet a unique ceremony still takes place in the little old world town of Echternach, in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Every Whit Tuesday a vast multitude of persons from far and near assembles and forms the proces- sion of ,dancing ,saints (Springsndo Helligen) in order" to induce heaven to cure all their ailments. Rich and poor, young and old, weak and strong, halt and maimed, take their stand up on the Pursian side of the Sure bridge at 8 o’clock, and after listening to a. sermon dance to the abbey and thrice around the tomb of St. Willibrod, the patron saint. The procession is head- ed by the town beadle, dressed in red and surrounded by small boys; next come ch-oristers, chanting litanies; then a large bod-y of clergy, 700 strong, and last the rank and file. There are placed in rows of seven, kept in line by handkerchiefs, sticks and umbrel- las, and interspersed with the motley crew are musicians playing “ dance music upo nevery conceivable instru- ment, while the dancers sing the clas- sic tune as they perform a polka. step, three steps forward and two back. More than 1,000 years ago, when Willibrod, the hero saint of Luxem- bourg, died at Ec-hternach, a terrible affliction smote all cattle; they were ‘ seized with a dancing madness , a frenzy destructive alike to themselves and their owners. The people danced in order to prevent their animals do- ing so. The effect was marvelous; the cattle regained their sanity, and, see- ing this, the people continued to dance on their own account for all kinds of illness, but especially for hysteria and St. Vitus’ dance. Everybody danced and the old and infirm unable to foot it themselves, performed the (pilgrim- age by proxy, with an equally good re- sult. From time to time efforts were made to stop the ceremony, but this resulted in a. return of the cattle plague, showing that the saint was not to be defrauded Of his annual homage, so that it had to be resumed, and the number of pilgrims increases yearly. ”Fro-m Gentleman. COLLEGE BOYS IN GERMANY. Vastly Different Conditions Under Which They Study in That Country. Student life in Germany is very dif- ferent from what it is in the United States. The Faculty of the univers1-ty assumes no responsibility for the punctuality orthe studiousness of the pupils. When a boy enrolls his name, passes his entrance examinations and pays his fee he is his own master, and can do whatever he likes until the time arrives for another examination, when he must present himself and en- dure the ordeal. 'If he succeeds he goes on with his class. If he fails his name is dropped from the rolls and he goes home in disgrace or makes another trial at a different university. He is not compelled to attend lec- tures, he is never called upon to re- cite, as the students in American col- leges are, two or three times a. day in the classroom. His professors never ask him questions until he becomes a member of what is called a “seminar,” which is a. selected class for original research under the direction of a mem- ber of the Faculty. At some of the lectures you will find only a'dozen students, where there are perhaps. 200 or 300 pursuing the course Of which'it is a part. At other lec- tures "you will find the room crowd-ed with attentive listeners numbering twice as many~as are on the profes- sor’s roll. The attendance is govern- ed by the interest of' the students in any particular line of inquiry and the ability of the professor to make him- self interesting. - WILLIAM TELL OUTDONE. A.

IFF AND AN INCREASING DEMAND. in Time, It is Thought, This State w111 ’ Yield as Much 011 from the Fruit as Italy or Spain—The Finest Grades,How- ever, Will Come Those Countries. By the Federal census of 1890, the. olive plantations of the golden state , of California included 607,377 trees, and of this number 278,381 were bear- lng fruit. Olives to the amount of. more than 9,000,000 pounds and the value of nearly $400,000 had been pro- duced in California in the year previ: ous. Such has been the development of the olive industry since, that in 1895, 500,000 olive trees were sold for planting from the nurseries of Pomo- na alone, and it is estimated that 600,- 000 olive trees were planted in Cali- fornia. It is predicted that at no very distant date California. will. produce as much olive Oil as Italy and Spain together. The average annual product of Oil in Italy amounts tO‘ 750,000 tons, in Spain to 300,000, in France to 185,- 000, in Portugal to 100,000, and in Greece to 65,000 tons, a total 'in these five countries of 1,650,000 tons. The portion of California which is best fitted for olive culture is, of course, the southern part, on the Pa- 7ific slope, and it is computed that the iounties of Californ 1a where the olives may be acclimated constitute the larg- est and finest olive growing area. in the world. '11 is from 600 to 700 miles long and varies inwidth from 30 to 125 miles, the total area being twice that devoted to olives in Spain. The de- mand for Olives and olive 0.1 in the United States is constantly on the in- crease, and the Opportunities for an enlarged market for California pro- ducers are thereby made excellent and, moreover, the facilities for transit of freight between the East and the West are constantly being improved. Steam- ship charges between Texas and the North Atlantic points are lower now than'they have been for many years, and 'a considerable portion of the pro- duct which comes to the East from California, and especially from south- ern California, is sent over the lines having 3. terminus in the Lone Star state. This temporary stimulus of an Eastern market for California olives and olive products is of less import- ance, in the judgment of dealers,“how- ever, than the fact that the demand for olives and olive oil is largely'on the increase, and the necessity of import- lng olive oil, except of the very fine grades from Europe no longer exists. Under the McKinley Tariff law of 1890, olives in jars and barrels were free of duty. Under the Wilson Tariff law there was a duty of 20 per cent, but under the new law there is a. duty of 25 per cent. on Olives imported in bar- rels. 0n olive Oil the duty has been raised under the new tariff from 35 to 10 cents a gallon and the effect of these changes, it is expected, will be favora- ble to an enlarged market for _ the American olive products. The average lmportations have been 400,000 gallons of olive Oil in a year, andt'he reduction of tihs amount with constantly in- creasing American consumption will be to the benefit,'it is believed, of the California farms—New York Sun. GATOR GRUNTERS. in Accomplishment Attained for the Purpose of Hunting the Animal. There are, in Florida, people who are known as gator grunters. They have practised this so long that they suc- cessfully imitate the grunt of an alli- Thcy act as guides to parties of Northern tourists during the winter, and often hunt ’gators on their own account. They take a big wagon, and, as a. rule, go out to the edge of the glades. Through the flat woods around the margin of the glades there are many little'lakes‘ that in the dry sea- son subside except directly in the mid- dle, where the ’gators make a deep puddle, which is known as a "gator hole.’ The expert hunter takes his place near this hole, and, concealing himself, begins to produce that pecul- iar grunt in imitation of a ’gator. Pret- ty soon there is a slight movement of the water, and a. long, black head shows up. Then another comes to the surface. Then the 01d bull crawls up into the mud along the wa- ter. The others follow him, They come in search of the sound, and when‘ they are far enough from the water the slaughter begins.—‘—Ne'w‘ York Tri- bu‘ne.

How They Feast on the Poor Negroes WIN Happen to Fall Overboard. “Talking about sharks,” said a New Orleans man, “you don’t know What sharks are until you go down to the mouth of the Rio Grande river. I ' have made the trip from New Orleans by steamer frequently, and I have never landed at Matamoras that I have not seen some poor negro roustaboui fall a victim to the greedy sharks that areas thick in the gulf ‘at that point as fleas in a barn in August. It iss curious and a cruel fact that a. steamer seldom touches at Matamoras that one ' or more of the negro deckha-nds do not “fall” overboard, and that is the last seen of them. I rather suspect that this is the method resorted to by‘the captain of the boat to preserve disci< pline among the negroes. The crew sees to it that a refractory member "falls” overboard, and this has a. sal- utury effect on the rest. So accustomed have the sharks in the waters of that vicinity become to their weekly feast of negro meat that they follow ingoing steamers for miles out from Matamo- ras. I have seen hundreds of them hanging on the flanks of steamers headed for the mouth of the Rio Grande, and they have followed us sometimes for fifty miles. apparently fully aware that they would get‘a goOd square meal as soon as we cast anchor. They cling close ‘to the sides of the boat when a landing is made, and woe betide the unlucky sinner who falls overboard. All that is seen of him is a. little red splotch on the water where he struck. The sharks lie on, their, backs awaiting their prey. You know "that they 'must place th-emselve in this position before they can do damage to anything that comes their way. A shark in a natural position is as harm- less a. fish as swims the seas. But when he flops over on his back and comes at you there isn’t one chance in a thousand to escape his sharp teeth and iron jaws..”—-—St Louis Republic. AFARM HAND’S FORTUNE.

At that time Hastings worked on Mr. D. 0. Mills’ 5 suburban estate at- Milbrae. Miss Carrie Burch was one of the housemalds. She fell ill, and Hastings loaned her $200 of his "savings. . After her gacovery she went away as a nurse to a. rich woman, who went to Australia. There Miss Burch married a retired shIpmaster. named Hall.
