' r”; 0U seem blue?"-
said Emma Rog-
ers to Jack Har-
ford when he call-
ed on her one Sat-
urday evening in
August in her
neat little cottage
home in a small
village in the Jer-
sey hills not very
far from New
York.
“I am blue," he
said, “or angry, or discouraged. or what
ever else yen choose."
“What’s wrong with you now, Jack?"
the girl asked with a smile which seemed
to indicate that she was accustomed to
have the young man unburden himself of
his troubles when he came to see her.
“It’s the same old story." he replied;
"everything goes wrong, and however
hard I work lam powerless to set things
right. Father insists on working the
farm just as grandfather worked it fifty
years ago. and when he gets further and
fnrtberbehind he thinks the times are out
of joint, and won’t believe that he could
make things more prosperous if _he would
count upon the changed conditions of the
country and adopt different methods of
cultivation and grow different crops."
“That sounds like one of your articles
for The Agricultural Review," she said
with an amused smile.
“Suppose it does?” he asked'. “Doesthat
prevent it from being true? That’s the
kind of thing father would have said. He
blames me everyday for having worked
my way through college. He calls me
stuck up and conceited. [think I am
humble enough, but, plague on it, I am
tired of the whole business. ‘ We get up
early in the morning to have an early
bréakfaSt, to get to work early and have
an early dinner, to get to work early to'
have an early supper, to go to bed early so
as to get up early in the morning. And so
it is, day in and day out all the year round,
and then we find that the mortgage is as
big as ever and the interest not paid.”
“Maybe the interest would be paid and
the mortgage reduced if some one I know
worked with a more contented spirit."
Emma Rogers said seriously.
"Perhaps; but content don’t come mere-
ly at the bidding, and I am resolved to cut
loose and see if [can’t do something on
my own account."
“That is what you have said any time
for two years.” - -
"I know that, but it is difierent now.
Tom was not old enough to be of much
good on the farm then, but he is now, and
he gets along perfectly with father. They
will behappier and better ofl" when I am
gone."
“When do you start, Mr. I-Iarford?" the:
girl asked, with mock formality.
“Monday morning,” he replied.
“And whither do you go?” she asked,
with the same tone and manner of mockery.
“To New York.”
"And over which bank will you preside,
Mr. Harford, or will you choose to take
charge of one of the great trunk lines of
railway?!’ she continued.
“Don’t mock me, Emma. I should rather
have your sympathy and love than any-
thing else. \Vith your love to inspire me
I really believe I could accomplish some-
thing." '
“Nonsense, Jack! If you ever do any-
thing it will be because you have it in you.
If you are really going I tell you frankly
that I am glad of it. But at the same
time I must say that I think very much as
your father does; that you are entirely too
conceited. it may be that you will get
something of that knocked out of you in
New York. That will be a good thing,
anyhow.”
Jack I-Iarford’s face was as red as fire
and his lips trembled as the girl finished.
He rose from his chair and said with a
forced smile:
“Well, Miss Rogers, I. have to thank you
for your great candor. I beg your pardon
for having presumed to think that you
would be interested in my movements. 1
will bid you good evening and good-by.”
And he bowed stifliy.
“Don’t be a goose, Jack,” she said. "I
am interesoezl in your movements and in.
retested in you: Had I not becn”—and
now Miss Rogers not unon her. dignity-r
"do you suppose I should have taken .the
' ronble to speak to you as I have done?"
llarford’s auger was at once appeased,
".nd he took her hand and would have put
his arm around her had she not moved
back a step
"Oh, Emma," he said, “if you would
only love me and be good to me, and let
me feel that l was working for you as well
as myself, I should go away much more
bravely than I do. “7011’t you promise to
marry me when l have made astake?"
“Come and see after you have made the
stake," she said with a smile. as she disen'
gaged her hand.
“That’s the best you can do for me?” he
persisted.
“You, have no right to ask more at pres-
ent,” she said, and he was forced to be
content. They resumed their seats and
spent the evening in discussing the very
vague plans for the future which Jack
Harford had formed. ‘
By hard work and-many privations the
son hadmanaged to prepare himself for
college and to get through the course. At
twenty-two he returned to the farm and
with the zeal of youth desired to reform its
management. lie might as well have tried
to move the high bills from their firm
foundations. Emma Rogers was the daugh-
ter of the Neal-bye doctor, who had died a
few years before this story begins and left
his only child with no more valuable prop
erty than the little cottage in which he
had lived and a lot of uncollected and un’
collectable bills for his services. She was
the teacher of the Nearbye school, and an-
aged 'it With much tact and skill. ler
clear, blue eyes would have made any face
pretty, but as all her features were straight
and regular, like those we are accustomed
to/see in the ancient sculptures of Greece,
she was a radiant beauty and would have
seemed out of place in her homely sur-
roundings had the brilliancy of her beauty
not been tempered by great sobriety of
speech and directness of manner.
Jack Harford and Emma Rogers had
been companions since childhood, and as
he had done nothing to disguise his affec-
tion the relations of the} two as lover and
loved were well known about. Among~
the young men in the Nearbye neighbor—
hood he was the only one fit by education
to consort with her, and he was therefore
permitted to pursue his suit without the
vexation of rivalry. He was a strong,
looking fellow, and with much - less
of the rustic appearance than any of the .
other farther’slsons thereabouts. He had
made persistent love to Emma for two
years, but they had never become for-
mally engaged; ,She'had not declined, to
marry him.,andlhe; had always feared. .to.
insist can final decision. ‘
n‘
‘ l
surly Sunday morning J ack announu...
to his father that he was going away the
next morning to seek his fortune. The
old man sighed sadly when he heard what
his son had to say in extenuation of his
resolution to give up his home, but made
.no opposition.
"wos’r you ruomsn MEI”.
“\Vell, Jack,” he said. “I wish you well.
If you can’t make your way in the city you
will always find a welcome here; that is”—
and the old man sighed deeply and his
voice grew husky, “if we can manage to
hold on~ to the old place and keep the sheriff
away." ‘ '
The bustle of preparation and departure
kept Jack from feeling as seriously as he
might have done, but when he got to
town and had found a cheap boarding
hqnm,:nd, Eli-53 3.139111; finding 50111th
do he realized very forcibly how great was
his undertaking. He applied here and
there at random for employment for a few
days and had no success whatever. He
then took up the advertisements in the
newspapers and spent aboutaweek in a.
vain effort to find anything at all. He
soon perceived that if he had learned a
trade instead of going to college he could
have found plenty of work. He applied
for work at the offices of several of the
agricultural publications. He got no en-
couragement, as few of them pay anything
for contributions. ()ne of the editors said
to him: “If you happen to know anything
about agriculture, the chances are that you
don’t know how to write, and if you know
howto write, the chances are that you
know nothing of agriculture.”
HE MET CALDWELL.
“But suppose I do know about agricult-
ure and can write?” Jack asked.
“Even then,” the editor said. “we could
not find a place for you." ,
Jack’s supply of money was now nearly
exhausted, and he was low indeed in his
mind. “I shall take a laborer’s place
rather than go home," he said to himself
twenty times a day; and as he was strong
and accustomed to work this would not
have been such a hardship if he could have
left his ambition out of the account.
Old Mr. Harford knew very little of city
life, but he had not passed all his years
without learning that the percentage of
those who found failure instead of success
in the struggle in New York was very
large, and that therefore the chances
against his 'boy were much greater than
those in his favor; “If he gets the worst
of it,” be continually said to himself, “he
will come home, and may be then it won’t
seem so hard to help us here.”
When church was over one Sunday
morning about this time the old man
waited for Emma Rogers at the door and
approached her with some timidity when
she appeared. To his invitation to go
home to dinner with him she was obliged
to decline, but she volunteered to drive
part of theyway with him and walk back.
She knew by intuition that he wanted to
say something about Jack.
“Have you heard from J ack, Mr. Har-
ford ?” she asked.
“Yes, we had a line saying that he had
found a boarding house. Has be written
to you?” .
“Only to say that he would not write till
he had found something to do."
“I hoped that you would help us to keep
Jack at home; he cares more for you than
any one else.”
“How do you know that?” asked the
girl, blushing prettily..but looking con-
ccrned. .
“Oh, I haven’t been looking on at the
girls and boys for forty years for nothing.
Iwish you had kept him at home.”
“But i did not want him to stay at
home,” Emma said with positiveness.
"‘Oh, we were in hopes that you cared
for him."
“So I do”——thc girl blushed deeply at
this confession—“and that was ‘the reason
I thought it would be better for him to go
away.” -
“So the old place is not good enough for
you either?”
“Mr. l-Iarford, it is not kind of you to
speak to me in this way. You and Jack
(lid not understand each other. He could
not have helped you any better than an
ordinary hired man, and it was not right
for him to stay at home any longer—it
was not right to you or to himself.”
“Why, Emma, I was always good to
Jack.” thealclueemetflzed- . -
'“Ohry'esj'l know that, and he knew it
too, but he is ambitious and high strung.
It won’t do him any harm to try a different
kind of life, even though he should for a
time get the worstof it, and I fear” (with a
deep sigh) “that that’s what‘ he is getting
now. You know I have some cousins in
town, and I have heard how hard it is for
them to get established in business, and
lack knows no one there."
“Where are all his fine college friends?”
Mr. Harford asked.
“Oh, they are young men themselves,
and each of them has his way to make
much the same as Jack. Mr. Harford, if I
were‘you I should write to Jack and help
to keep his spirits up.” -.
“I 9.311.111? dear. and, all 1 have to as.)

then I am sure you won’t get your deserts.
I am much obliged to you for coming with ‘
me."
“Good-by, Mr. Harford,” the girl said as
the horse stopped at the top of a hill, and
before she jumped out of the buggy she
kissed the old man on his sunburned
cheek, thus giving ,to the father unasked
what she had denied to the son, thoug
much besought. -
When Emma Rogers had finished her
simple little dinner she sat at her father’s
5 old desk and wrote this letter:
Nnmnvs, Sept. 21.
l
l DEAR JACK-J promised not to write to you, but
- i trust you will forgive me for thus early break-
ing my word. l drove with your father after
church today as far as the hill top. He is much
concerned about you, and I think it is your duty
to write to him at least once a week so that
he may not feel u'neasy about you. Don‘t foolishly
wait until you have done something to be proud 0!.
Write to him at once and write to him regularly.
If you will do this you may also write to me once a
week. and I will answer your letters now and
again, and I will also confess that I miss you aw.
fully and often wish very much to see you and I
continually wonder what you are doing.
. R.
P. S.—Why don‘t you look up all your college
_ friends who are living in New York?
Jack Harford’s Sundays in town had
been particularly gloomy. He had been
accustomed for two years past to spend the
greater part of each Sunday with Emma
Rogers, and the loss of this companion-
ship was at this period a grievous one. The
Monday morning after the conversation
between his father and sweetheart at N ear-
bye he started out early to answer as many
of the advertisements printed in the Sun-
day papers as seemed to him to be of any
promise. The day had been a succession
of dreary disappointments, and he return-
ed to his boarding place in the evening
tired and utterly blue. On the hat rack in
the hall he found Emma’s letter. It bright-
ened him up wonderfully. He at once
wrote to his father. He also wrote to Em-
ma and thanked her most sincerely for her
kindness to his father and to him. ,
In reading over her letter for the first
few times he missed the significance of the
suggestion in Emma’s postscript. There
were many old college friends in New York.
He had intended looking them up after he
had become established in business. That
seemed far enough off now. It could do no
harm to see some of them at once. The next
morning be dressed himself as carefully as
his limited wardrobe permitted, and went
for a tour of visits. The first fellow he called
on was a clerk and a student in a lawyer’s
office. From him he learned of the others
and continued his calls. He told each of
them that he had come to town to seek em-
ployment, and each of them offered tolet
him know if anything suitable was heard
of. Late in the afternoon he called on
William Caldwell, who had for three years
been his room mate. The last year at col-
lege something had happened which had
strained, if it had not severed, the friend-
ship between Harford and Caldwell.
These young fellows had not talked over
the difference between them, and had
parted still misunderstanding each other.
Each of the fellows who had seen Jack had
asked if he had seen Caldwell, and at last
Jack concluded to call. He got the ad-
dress and found the place very easily. He
met Caldwell just at the entrance of his
father’s large establishment—a commis-
sion house which did a most extensive
business.
“Hello, Jack,’ ’ said Caldwell, holding
out his hand as the two met. “I am glad
to see you.”
“I am glad of that, for I was just going
to see you. You remember we were not
. very good friends when we left college 'two
years ago.”
“The bigger fools we,” responded Cald—
well cheerily. “Come in, old man, and tell
me about yourself.”
The two young men walked back through
the great ware house to the counting room
in the rear, and Caldwell took the young
countryman into his private ofiice. There
they talked over the college days, the dif-
ference between them was explained, and
Caldwell learned of Jack’s object in com-
ing to town and of his lack of success.
“Well, you have come to the right shop
this time,” Caldwell said, “for I have just
been made a partner, and I mean to have
you here—that is, if you would like it.”
"Nothing would please me better,’ ’ Har-
ford said; “but you don’t really need me,
do you?"
“We did not know it, but I am sure we
shall kdow it in a little while.”
Jack’s opportunity had now come, and he
took advantage of it. The firm for which
he worked found him a most valuable as-
sistant, and from time to time his salary
was raised till in two years after he came
,to New York he was getting $4,000 a year.
With young Caldwell he saw all that was
best and most novel of metropolitan life,
but his heart yearned all the while for the
dear girl who was waiting for him at Near—
bye, and whenever he could he spent his
Sundays at the old place.
One bright December afternoon ' toward
the end of Christmas week, he took the
train for the Jersey hills and was soon at
the old farm at Nearbye. There were
many journeys made in the next few days
between the old homestead in the hills and
Emma Rogers’ neat little village cottage.
At this time Jack was never reproached
for being blue. There was evident] y no
need for such reproofs, as there was an
alertness in his steps and a brightness in
his eyes which showed very plainly that he
was contented with his lot. What was
said and done during these long, frequent
visits need not be chronicled here. Most
of us know how the old story is enacted,
and those who do not will, if they be
lucky, learn all its phases by heart, and be
better and happier for the knowledge. On
New Year’s morning, after breakfast, Jack
handed to his astonished father the satis-
fied mortgage on the old place. The old
man was dumfounded, but at length found
words to say:
“All, this is a New Year’s present in-
deed.” '
“ch, father, we. shall all be happy to-
day, and, if youwill let me, I shall bring
you home after church today another pres-
ent.”
“Don’t do anything more, my son," the
old man protested; “this'is enough for one
day.”
“The other present is more for myself
than you, sir. I wish to make you a pres-
ent of a daughter, for Emma Rogers has
promised to be my wife.”

A brilliant black coat upon zinc can be
obtained by immersing the zinc objects in
a solution of ten parts copper free sulphate
of iron and six parts of ammoriiac salts in
fifteen parts of boiling water. After one
or two minutes the zinc is taken out, and
thepowder like black precipitate of iron
is removed by the use of a brush and water.
Then it is again put into the boiling solu-
tion, and, taking it out, it is kept overa
glowing charcoal fire until no more am- -
maniac vapors appear. This coating of
iron may be polished with the brush, sticks
firmly to the zinc and preventsits oxidize-

COMMON SENSE IN BUILDING.
Don’t Sacrifice Your Health to. Useless
Ornamentation. '
{Copyright by American Press Association]
This plan shows some things which may
be done in house building, and some which
should not be done. The cellar door in
the floor of the kitchen is the worst thing
about the plan. The architect told the
owner of the hpuse that this kind of a cel-
lar door would kill his, wife. but the cellar
door went in as shown. It is only a few
years ago, however, since a‘gveat many
kitchens of this kind were built—four
walls and a fine; in one corner a cellar
door with a ring in it. Whenever the door
got wet from swelling it stuck. No one
ever saw any but a tired woman come out
of such a kitchen. There are a great many
cellar doors of this kind in houses which
are being built today. The cellar way of
this house should be inclosed and start
down from the back left hand corner of
the kitchen. Then there should be a door
from the kitchen into the room marked
“pantry.” Next to the pantry door should
be a sink, with well and cistern pump on
each side of it. Over the sink there should
be'a little slide into the dining room. Cut
off from the pantry could be a china closet
for the dining room. This would make a
house with some sort of convenience about
. it. It would be a labor saving kitchen.
.u.
FRONT ELEVATION.
If it were a. question of money the sac-
rifice of the back porch would meet all the
expense of the changes herein suggested.
But even if this would not do it, there is ‘
the grate and mantel in the front parlor.
It should go rather than have the abomi-
nable arrangement shown. But there are a
great many people who will sacrifice the
kitchen to a mantel in the front room,
which means that they will sacrifice them-
selves for a mantel and grate. Let us see
what a sacrifice of this kind means. “’9.
will say that it was necessary to sacrifice
something in order to get the kitchen ar-
rangements mentioned—that is, a cellar
way partitioned off from one corner of the
kitchen, asink, with well and cistern water
pumps at each si if it, and the passage-
way from the pa .. j to the kitchen. The
sacrifice suggest. 1 ' f the architect was
the grate and n: .1 in the parlor. In
nine cases out ( en the owner of that
house and the l. . eekeepcr will object to
this. If need be they will take the com-
mon kitchen and- secure the parlor grate.
The extra exertion in caring for the house
arrangement as shown in the sketch is
hardly to be estimated. It would mean
trudging through rain and snow to throw
out dish water, going out doors number-
less times for water, and exposure and
hardship which are too common to be ap-
preciated. There is nothing worse than
going from a hot, steaming kitchen to the
cold atmosphere of the outside. To say
the least, it meanssuifering and ill health.
In a house of this kind the fuel should
be in the cellar. It is not necessary that
the fuel part be walled up, but it can be
cut at the back of the house and thrown
through a window, and taken out through
the cellar itself and carried to the kitchen.
This is much easier than going out on the
porch, down the porch steps, through the
yard and back.
There is another suggestion in connec-
tion with this plan which would improve
it. There should be a vestibule from which
to enter the parlor and sitting room. In
this event the porch would come clear to
the front. This vestibule would be a place
to put hats, coats, overshoes, umbrellas, .
etc, for which there is no good place in the

sitting room. A rug could be aid down
in this, vestibule, which could be taken out
each morning and readily cleaned. This
would save work. It would save the sit-
ting room' and parlor carpets. Again it
would save the drafts of cold air from the
outside into the rooms.
With the exceptions here noted this plan
is a good one. There are two bedrooms, a
parlor, sitting room, dining room and
kitchen. Each room is provided with a
good closet and a fine for the proper heat-
ing arrangements. In many instances this
parlor would be used as a bedroom.
The ceiling of a house of this kind should
not be less than ten feet high. The pitch of
the roof should not be too steep, for the
reason that it makes the house look very
low. A 45 degree pitch roof on a small
house reminds one of a small man with a
large hat.
A frame house should never be built that
is not sheathed, papered and weather
boarded. When, one thinks that he has a
% inch board with an inch lap and a little
lath and plaster betwoen him and zero, he
can appreciate the common method of con-
structing these houses. Sleeping in a
room so built is the next thing to sleeping
out of doors.
This house was finished for $900.
