ly stay with Ha while she is a mi
nor and remains unmarried. If
you would be less capfious toward
her, perhaps she would be more
amiable toward you. You treat
her as if she were a little vixen,
and she resents it by being as vix
enly as possible; but that is a wo
man's way, I suppose,” she added
humorously.
“I know nothing about women
and their ways," he auswered grim
iy-
“But you could try to win Jes
sie’s liking, Fred," she returned
coaxingly.
“I win her liking,” he repeated
in a strarge harsh voice. “You
suggest what is impossible. Carry
—it is only too obvious that our
protege detests me.”
Just a dark, swift some
thing rushed passed the window
outside, it was only a hwndsome
smiling girl riding a superb black
horse rapidly up the gravelad path
toward the stables; but at the
sight Carrie uttered a quick cry of
surprise and amusemon', and the
man started to his feet, his feat"
ures ashy and his limbs unsteady.
“I advised Jessie not to ride at
all. I forbade her going near that
horse,” he exclaimed after a long,
incredulous stare at the composed
rider and admirably behaved ani
mal- “I wonder she is not killed.’’
“She has subjugated your horse,
Fred, just as she manages to sub
jugate everything else that oppos
es her, the lady said admiriuglv.
“Observe her and allow her clever
ness. She has metamorphosed
my old black cloth mantle into a
really pre'ty habit; with character
istic ingenuity she has arranged
your man’s saddle to suit a lady’s
seat; aud she has utalized your
L a ~m* uwv, r IT3U —It L)6COIII6S
her too with that bit of deep gauze
about the tall crown.’’
“I detest anything manish in a
woman,” Fred declared crossly as
ha resumed his leathern chair.
Certainly tliq gentleman had ex
perieneed very little peace since
that perverse girl of seventeen—
that incarnation of audacity and
witchery, had invaded the tranquil
country home of hie indulgent spin
ster sister. If he wished a little
season of particular quietude, the
tinkle of the piano and a distract
ing, v sweet voice would sound
through the house. If he consult
ed his labored notes upon some es
pecially favored historical or poet
ical work, his equanimity would
be disturbed by keen and perti
nent interpolations that his own
wit had never suggested. If he
attempted any remonstrance, she
would blunt his censure with a
pun and defy rebuke by an ingeni
oue repartee. She would affect
scientific themes that she might
disconcert him by some problem
to > difficult for his el acid uiou
she dared his opinion and challeng
ed his sentiments: she wore the
colors, the flowers, aDi the gems
she knew he most disliked; and
she was iudeed the plague es his
life.
“Why do yon always wear the
topaz. Miss Evelyn ?” he asked her
later that day.
He had glaaced up with a ready
frown at the exquisite shape and
charming brunette face, praceiv
ing only the yellow gem he whim
sically abominated, glittering in
her coal black hair and amid the
white laces on her boso n.
“As au amulet," she replied
quickiv, merrily and meaningly.—
“It is a preservative against poison
you know."
The speech was not quite civil ;
the laughing glance of the big
black eyes was saucy and signifi
cant; but her manner was ttte per
fection of innocent playfulness.
Fred’s trowing face crimsoned
“ What mons.er of iniquity would
wish to harm so gentle aud gra
cicue a lady ?” he retorted, with
ungallant irony.
She regarded him for a moment
Lawrenceville, 3r a. Tuesday Oct, 30 1883
with a curiously intent and ques
tioning look, before which ht» coun
tenai.ee suddenly changed—sud
denly he seemed defensive rather
than aggressive, as one who fear
ed his own weakness rather than
the strength of the enemy.
1 erhaps she discerned some
thing in his uneasiness that she
wilfully declined to understand:
perhaps she comprehended a paiu
that 'hrilled her more than she
cared to acktiowledgi—for she,
too changed.
“Mr Ives, she began at length
with a singular new splender in
her sweet smile and a singular
new sweetness in her voice, “any
sarcasm is absurd between you
and me. The candid truth is so
much better always, even if it be
disagreeble. I atn perfecly aware
that you detest me; that every
thing I do displease or annoys
you. You have given me abun
dant proof of your d.slike, and
never yet vouchsafed me a kind
ness nor a courtesy. Ii is you
who are ungentle—you who are
ungracious. Why you are so, I
may not inquire: but I shall im
plore our dear Carrie to send ho
away, and trust that you may nev
or again be afflicted with the pres
ents of so luckless a person as my
self-”
Aud while he marveled if this
new amiability; this charming corn
biuatiou of humiliiy an l dignity,
were sincerity or a snare, she bad
gone, leaving him somewhat be
wildered and-wholly nucomforta
ble.
“I have a mind to try the sub
jugated black horse myself," be
'hought presently, as he noted the
gleam of a white dress and an am
ber iAjrf » —— *’ r
lsng shady road.
But the black horse had not
been subjugated for Fred’s pleas
ure, evidently. The mettle that
had been obedient to the slightest
command of one dainty, daring
girl, hau not been tamed for his
control.
Jessie, pausing by the plea,'ant
wayside, was suddealy started by
the unsteady tramp of hoofs, and
looking up to behold the unmans
geble animal gallopirg toward her
The next instant he .tossed his
head aloft and reared on his houn
che«; simultaneously, the saddle
girth snapped asunder, and the
unfortunate lider was precipita
ted upon the level sward almost
at her very feet.
“0 Fred, are you hurt?” she in
quired in tones of bnderest con
cern, ae the knelt down beside
him and slipped her pretty arm be
neath his fallen head
“Yes," he answered gazing
straight up into her anxious eyea.
“I am hurt to death for love
of the girl who hates me, who
fancies that I have disliked her.’
It was an odd love-making,
doubtlessly; but there and then,
holding fast the little willful band
the lover reluarsed the ancient
aDd delectables.
“Of course I will marry you,
Fred," she assured him sweetly
“I always knew x was doomed to
be the blague of your life."
‘Sir, you predicted a frost for
the night of the 21st of Septem

“Yes, sir.’’
‘•And It didn’t come.
“Nj, sir?*’
“Well, that prediction caught
me with 800 bushels of apples on
the trees, and 1 Bold the lot for
half price."
“Sorry, sir, but the bureau is
sometimes mistaken."
‘Well, I want you to help me
out of it. The chap who got my
apples has forty acres of taters. If
you will only predict a legular
freezup fer to morrow night I kin
get them taters for ten cents a

Domestic animal Are turned to
curious accounts in some pans of
tie wc*dd. For instance in Spain
a small dog is often used by house
keepers for turning -.spits before
the lire: and i: is not at all to be
woudered at that he doesn’t take
kindly tu such employment. T*-
say nothing about thereat of the
work, it rnustbe be a terrible temp
tation to , the peor animals to
keep from touching the meat and
food which he would much sooti
er eat up in a raw stale than assist
iu loastingfor .hecontumpption of
others. A gentleman who travel
ed in Spain tells the following am
using story in which be gives the
little turnspit dog credit for a
wonderful amount, of sharpness.
One evening I reached asolita
ry village inn. Close to the stove
lay a dog warming itself in com
fort.
“What cjtn you give me for din
ner! I asked of the landlady
“ Some eggs,’’ was the reply, and
tbo dog looked lixidly at me.
“Eggs,’’ repeated I “That's
poor sustenance for a man that
has come thirty miles on horse
back. Have you nothing better?’’
“There's a bit of bacon,” sugges
ted the land lady: and the dog
looked at me more intently than
ever.
‘“l’m not passionately fend of
bacon,” replied I. “what else have
you?”
“Santa Anna,” cried the landla
dy “I can give you chicken!”
At these words (he dog jumped
up and sprang through the halfo
per, window.
“Good gracious!’’ sai d I; “why
the word chicken’ was like a bomb
shell to him?”
“Ah," smiled tne hostess, “it’s
because he turns the spit.”
Natural Appetites.
Dr. Felix L. Oswald says in
popular Science Monthly, that in
order to d stinguish a poison
substance nfafttfS 8 ffts
thus furnished us three infallible
tests;
The first taste of every poison
»s either insipid or repulsive.
The presisient obtrusion of tue
noxious substance changes that
aversion into aspecfic craving.
Ths m ire or less pleaurable ex
citement produced by a gratifica
tion of that craving is always fol
lowed by a depressing reaction.
The firs; drug of i wholesome
beverage (milk, cold water, cider
fresh from the y ress, etc.,) is qui
et as pleasant as the last; the in
diligence in susa pleasures is not
followed by repentance and never
begets specific craving. Pancakes
and honey we may eat with great
relish whenever we can get them
but, if we can’t, we won’t miss
them as long as -ve can satisfy
our hunger with bread and butter.
In midwinter, when apples ad
vance to six dollars per barrel, it
needs no lectures and midnight
prayers to subs'itute rice pudding
for apple pie, A Turk may break
fast for thirty yearn on figs and
roasted ches'nutes, and yet be
quitevis comfnortable in Switzer
land, where they treat hitn to milk
and bread. Not so the dram drink
er; his ’'thirst” cannot be assuag
ed with water or milk, his enslav
ed appetite craves the wonted tip
pl e — or e l ß e a stronger s.imulant.
Natural food has no effeot on the
poison hunger; nature has noth
ing to do with such appetites.
“So you admit having stolen the
box of blacking," said a justice to

for stealing a box of blacking
from a grocery.
“Yes, salt, 1 tuck de blackin,"
