“What did she say ?" Mr. Jona
than Brace stood loaning ovor the
kitchen window-sill like an exaggera
ted copy of one of Raphael's • famous
cherubs, his head and'shoolders just
visible above the hop vines that gar
landed the easement with pale green
leaves and enrling tendrils. He was
stont and by no means an Adonis to
look npon, but there was genuine hub
pense in his manner as be breathless-
ly awaited bis middle-aged sister’s ans
wer to the question he had jnst asked.
Miss Belinda Brace, who stood be
fore tbe kitchen table making apple
pies, paused to ran tbe jiggering-iron
deftly round the outer edge of the
ernst before she answered—
“She said no.”
Mr. Jonathan's countenance fell.
"Linda," said he, “did she mean
it?”
"Of coarse she did,” said Miss Be
linda, "and I told yon as mnch before
didn’t I ?”
“But I never heard of such a thing
before!” cried Jonathan, excitedly.
Tm a well-to-do farmer and she’s on
ly a servant."
"But sbe’s as proud as Lucifer for
all that," assented bis sister.
"Where is she ?” asked Jonathan,
with a vagne idea of seeking oat the
obdurate fair one and pleading his
own cause, for ,an offer of marriage
chanced to be the question undor de
bate.
"Gone!” said Miss Belinda, crisply.
"Gone ?’’ echoed her brother.
“Yes, gone."
Miss Belinda set the two pieBin the
oven with an emphasis that spoke vol
umes for the strength of the baking
platters.
"Packed up and gone, and 1 don’t
know where and I don't care, so yqn
needn’t take the trouble to ask, for
I’ll keep no girl in my house that
feels herself too good to be my broth
er’s wife. A haughty thing as I have
no patience with.”
Jonathan Brace said nothing, but
he tookbis elbows down off the kitch
en window-sill and walked away, feel
ing as if all the brightness had gone
out of the summer.sky—all the sweet
ness from the balmy July air.
"I’ve made a mistake," thought he.
“It seems to me my life is all a mis
take. I ought to have spoken ont my
self instead of trusting that matter to
sister. I thought women could man
age such matters better than a man.
Bat I forgot there were different kinds
of women.. Linda is exoellent in
driving bargains about butter and
eggs and chickens, bnt I donbt if she
would be gentle and soft-spoken
enough to deal with a question like
this. Poor little Dorothy! I wish I’d
asked her'myself, though, perhaps, af
ter all it wouldn’t have made any dif
ference.”
Jonathan Bruco bad lived to the
age of forty-five without feeling the
darts of Cupid, and when he did fall
in love it was a serious business.
Dorothy Dale bad come to tbe old
farm-house to earn her living. She
was a delicate lovely girl of nineteen,
with >lark gray eyes, black hair grow
ing !‘>w on her forehead, and a fresh
bloom like that of a peach. She had
first come to Lowmoor to try and get
tbe place of teacher in tbe district
school. But the trustees had their
particular favorite, and when the
spectacled Miss Keene was appointed,
poor little Dorothy found herself pen
niless in a strange place.
••What can I do?" she said, piteous
ly- , „
“Miss Bruce wants a servant, sug
gested tbe landlord’s wife. "Ton dol
lars a mouth and a good borne.—
Housework ain't so genteel as school
teaching, but, in uiv mind, it's more
healthy.”
And Dorothy caught at the straw
which a kind providence seemed to
extend to her, and took the position
of servant in the Brace family, which'
she filled satisfactorily nntil Mr. Jon
athan’s unexpected offer of marriage.
“Marry him—become his wife!”
thought Dorothy, with flashed cheeks
and wildly-beating heart. “Oh, nev
er, never 1"
.And yet, strange to say, she did not
actually dislike honest Jonathan
Brace.
It was only the natural recoil of tbe
wild bird from the fowler’s snare, the
untamed deer from the hunter's touoh.
It was scarcely a month from the
day on whioh the middle-aged farmer
heard hik doom, that he chanced to
to be crossing the bridge which
spanned the river, when, all of a sud
den, he came upon a light figure
crouching in one of its embrasures—
Dorothy Dale’s figure.
“Why, Dorothy, child I” he ejacu
lated, starting baok.
She pushed the dark hair out of her
eyes and looked defiantly at him.
"Yes, it is I.”
"Yon are pale,’’ he muttered, slow
ly, “and very, very thin.”
•Yes,” she said, "I—I have had
hard work to live. Very hard work
indeed. In truth and in fact I am al
most starved.”
"Yon wouldn’t many me ?”
"No,” she flashed out, "I would
not!”
“Will yon marry me now ?"
“No!”
He looked bard at her.
•1 think yon are making a mistake,”
he said.
She was silent, still looking at him
in the same sacred, uncertain sort of
way.
"However,” he added, “that’s nei
ther here nor there. Bnt Belinda
misses yon. She will be glad to have
yon baok again.”
"After—”
Dorothy cheeked herself instinct
ively.
“Yes, after everything. Let by
gones be by-gones. Remember that
Belinda .wants yon and there’s always
a home for yon there. And as for me
yon needn’t trouble. I shall not be
in anybody’s way,” a little bitterly.—
“I am going ap to some slate quar
ries that I own, and Belinda will be
alone.”
"Yes,” she said, "I will go. After
all, I shall be patting myself under
obligation to nobody. I shall be
earning my own living.”
So she went back again, and Miss
Belinda recived her brusquely, bnt
still with a degree of kindness that
went to the poor girl’s heart.
"Are the quarries very largo ?” she
asked, wistfully, one day, when she
had been about a month at the old
farm-house.
"Never heard.”
“Were you never there ?’’
“Bless yonr hoart, child, no.”
“Docs Mr. Bruco often come
home ?"
"He’s at home now,” said the spin
ster.
“At home ?”
“Why, yes, only he’s staying down
to tho tavern. He’s a sort of notion
that you don’t want to seo him here.”
“He iB very much mistaken,” ex
claimed Dorothy. “I—I—it is hor-
riblo to think of turning him out of
his own house.”
“There ho is down in tbe clover
meadow now, with the men,” said
Miss Belinda. "He’ll be ap this way
directly, I dare say. Shall I call him ?"
“I—I think I ought to speak to
him," said Dorothy, with ber eyes
fixed on ber work.
“Wants to speak to uie, eh ?” said
Mr. Bruce. “Yes, I’ll be there in
minute.”
Dorothy looked ap a minute later
to find him regarding her gravely.
“Well, Dorothy, what is it ?”
“Mr. Bruce, I am banishing yon
from your own home.”
“Well, no, you are not,” be an
swered, slowly. “I cun be happy any
where, little Dorothy, so that I know
you are content."
“Mr. Bruce—”
“Well?”
“There is no occasion for your ab
senting yourself f.-om your home on
my account.”
"May I come back, Dorothy?" he
asked, suddenly.
“You know that you can?” she
cried.
“And you will stay here?"
“Why should I not?"
“Dorothy,”
“Yes.”
“Couldn’t we stay here together ?”
She looked ap, coloring, yet with a
bright smile.
“I have said no, once,” she said,—
“if you were to ask me again—” 1
“Well?”
“I should say yes.”
“Then it’s a bargain,” said he qui-
etly, "if you think you can put np
with an unfashionable old ohap like
me—snob a sweet little rosebnd as
you, Dorothy."
She raised her innocent young lips
for the betrothal kiss.
“I have learned to lore yon since I
came back here,” she whispered. "I
have learned to know you as yon real
ly are—the noblest and best of men.”
And Mr. Brace never went back to
tbe quarries after that

The Pacific jute mills, of East Oak
land, Cal, are turning ont ton thou
sand wheat sacks every day, and the
foreman of tho institntion considers
the business exceedingly dull, saying
that last year no day passed when lees
than twenty'thousand sacks were
manufactured. Four hundred and
fifty men and boys, all natives of Chi
na, are employed at tho place—tho
men average for a day’s work ninety
cents, and tbe boys, some not over
eight years of age, at the spinning
machine, realize, on an average, fifty-
seven cents a day. The business cov
ers an entire block, and the main
building is two stories high, the low
er floor being whore the jute is man
ufactured into gunny, and the upper
floor is where the gunny is sewed up
and mode into sacks. From a pass

such magnitude, but when it is under
