a centre.
Even the postoffice stood alone, at
at least a hundred yards from the
nearest house, with a corner of Squire
Pomeroy’s wood-lot coming up almost
to its back door, as if refusing to rec¬
ognize such a straggling place as a
town at all.
Mr. Blodgett was the postmaster,
but he ran the village grist-mill—
which was far from everything else, of
course— and seldom visited the office
for happened a stay of that any grea^-ifcOgikr' So it
-ovifo'e 'oTSce practically the entire
fell upon his assis¬
tant. She was Mabel Loomis, who
lived with her mother’ a quarter of a
mile up the road on the uncertain
edge of the village.
The -work of tho office, although
not perhaps hard in one sense, was
certainly wearing and exacting, and
the hours were long—from six in the
morning to seven in the evening, usu¬
ally. Vacations and “days off” were
few, and the salary Was meagre
enough; but Mabel never complained,
and she did the work to the tost of her
ability.
It was a beautiful September morn¬
ing; she had just finished putting up
tho six twenty-four mail, and the boy
.who carried it to the station had de¬
parted. Only two or three persons
had as yet ifeen in, so Mabel was sur¬
prised to see Mrs. Allison appear at
the general delivery.
“Why, good morning, Mabel!” she
said. ' “Yo.u. weren’t looking for mo
so early, were you, now. Well, I’m
'going to take the train for Proctor’s—
going up in.^Didn’t to seo Libbie—and I thought
I’d drop know but I might
have a postal-or something from her,
telling me to wait till next week.”
“No, there isn’t anything for you,”
returned Mabel.
“Well, I don’t know, you know.
You can’t tell. But I suppose this
doesn’t seem early for you.”
“No. I’ve been up an hour and a
half.”
“You don’t tell me! Well, I think
yon have to get up too early, that’s
what I think. Seems as if Blodgett
might stir out and open the place him¬
self, ’specially as you have to stay so
iate at night.”
“He comes in at noon, you know,
and stays quite a while. Then, the
work isn’t hard.”
“Well, it may not be hard, but I
should say that its wearing, if I’m a
judge. Sorting over letters and
pounding them with that thing, and
filling out money-orders and tearing
them off bias and just so, aud fixing
the registered letters and selling
stamps, and jumping up to this win¬
dow for this body and that body and
the other body that want their letters,
and forty other things—I declare
’twould just pester the life out of me
in no time at all.”
“Oh, I don’t mind it,” returned
Mabel, cheerfully.
“Well, I must be getting along,”
continued Mrs. Allison. “Are you
going on the excursion next week?”
“I’m afraid I can’t get away,”
answered the girl.
Mrs. Allison was rummaging in her
hand-bag, and her attention seemed
distracted.
gj. “Seems as if Blodgett ought to pay
you more,” she said. “Blodgett is no
poor man, and his mill pays him right
along. What I’d like, is to see you
appointed postmaster yourself. You’re
twenty-one now.”
“Oh, thank you,” answered Mabel,
with a rather sad smile, as Mrs. Alli¬
son went out. Then she sat down in
her chair by the desk, but the smile
was all gone.
“I’m afraid there aren’t many ex
cursions for me this summer.” she
mused, somewhat ruefully. “I pre
sume Mr. Blodgett would stay here
1 that day if I asked him, but I know I
couldn’t afford to go. Besides, I
haven’t any dress to wear that’s suita
jjle. I wish I could earn more.”
But there was no time for gloomy
thoughts, for the hoy was back with a
msil-bag, and people were beginning
to drop in more and more frequently.
She plunged earnestly into the
work before "tier, which, as work will
always do—drove away the gloomy
thoughts. allowed
But she was not to be to
forget the excursion; as several of her
girl friends who came to the office
asked her if she was going. She an
swered them as she had answered Mrs,
Allison, and it made her. a little angry
to feel that her face flushed.each time;
for although none oi them said whal
her first caller had'said,-she'felt sure
-that they all thought’it. She was
ashamed pf the feeling, but sha could
not help being disturbed.

lack of money much more than this
excursion. Mabel's father had died
five years before, leaving his family
in poor circumstances. Her mother’s
health was not good, and there two
younger sisters aud a little brother
who were still at school.
It was a little after three o'clock on
the afternoon of the same day that a
stranger entered the Downingville
postoffice. Mabel was alone. She
noticed, as the man stepped up to the
general delivery, that ho was well
dressed, and perhaps between twen¬
ty-five and thirty years of age. His
face was not a pleasant one, although
it did not suggest a lack of intelli
gence. He came close to tho window
and said: /
“Is there a registered letter for M.
P. Morgaqjtone here?” J
Such arbiter had coma'on the latest
mail, and Mabel had jfiaced it iu the
safe which stood in the corner, She
answered him in the affirmative, when
ha eoiithmed:
“That is my name—M. P. Morgan
stotio. Please let me have it.”
“The rules require identification in
tho case of registered letters, you
know,” answered Mabel.
“Oh yes, I had forgotten. Well, I
am a stranger here, but I cau show
you who I am all right.” lie searched
his pockets, taking out a number of
papers aud old letters. Two of the
latter he pushed through the window,
y‘There you see, miss—‘M. IV Mor
ganstone, Watertown. Just give mo
the letter—it’s very important for me
td catch the up-train.”
“But I can’t give out a registered
letter on such identification. Mr.
Blodgett, the postmaster, has instriict
me not to do so.”
Mabel’s suspicions were beginning
to bo slightly aroused by one thing
about tho man. Twice since coming
up to the window ho had glanced over
his shoulder at tho door. She knew,
of course, that it was her duty to de¬
liver the letter it he could fully con¬
vince her that it belonged to him: but
she determined to insist cn identifica¬
tion-of tho strictest kind, as a matter
of protection to herself and her em¬
ployer.
“Why. see here, I’ve lesfo got identifica¬ lots of
registei-ed ‘letters' on offices,”
tion than this, and at larger
the man said. “You’re going beyond
rulos **
“No, I don’t think I am. A post¬
master is responsible for registered
letters. If ho delivers one to the
wrong person the rightful owner Blodgett can
hold him accountable. Mr.
is very particular. He has told me to
deliver no such letters to strangers
except ou identification such as would
be satisfactory at a bank. You must
know that there you would have to be
vouched for by some one known per¬
sonally to the bank people.”
“I can describe the letter,” went on
tha man, ignoring what she had said.
“Large, oblong envelope. From J.
H. Smith, Riverside, Mailed this
morning. Isn’t that right?”
“Yes, but I can’t let you have it
without proper identification.” Mabel
was becoming more suspicious of the
man every moment. His disappoint¬
ment and worry over the situation
seemed to be bringing his true char¬
acter to the surface, and his face and
manner were rapidly glowing less
gentlemanly. like
“Why, I never saw anything
this. Do you know I cau make trou¬
ble for you with the department for
holding back my letter? You know I
am telling you the truth about who I
am, and you have no right to delay
my mail.”
Mabel made no reply at all, but
held her ground at the window.
“Now see here, miss, no foolish¬
ness. I’m a business man and my
time is worth money. I’m a contrac¬
tor, and that letter contains papers
Valuable to me, but of no -value to any¬
one else. Plans and specifications of
a new factory I’m bidding for over at
Watertown. Give it to mo and let
me catch my train. It’s a matter of
dollars and cents to me.”
“I cannot do it,” was all that Mabel
said.
The man by this time was growing
very red in tho face, aud was.glanc
ing more nervously than ever over his
shoulder. He hesitated a moment,
and then, with a little forced laugh,
went on in a quieter tone:
“Of course maybe you’re right ae
cording to the strict rule. I don’t
wont you to got into any trouble on
mv account. I’ll show you in an
other way that I’m telling the truth,
I’m going to be in town again in about
a week. I’ll just deposit ten dollars
with you—you can give me a receipt

I right,, as you will by that time, you

; any such thing. ”
; “I’ll leave you fifty dollars. Don’t
you see I wouldn’t do that if. I didn’t
. know it would be all right, aud I’d get
my money hack?”
‘-Perhaps not, but it would be au
altogether irregular thing for me to
do..”
“Why, you’re unreasonable,” cried
the man, again beginning to lose hie
self-control.'.He pulled a roll of bills
-----—- -
from hi pcclcet, and laid it hundred down in |
the win ow. “I’ll make it c3 j
dollars, yes, two hundred, “ and he
pushed in four fifty-dollav bills. “I’ll
miss a big contract if I don’t get that
letter instantly. Give it to me! Never
mind about writing a receipt for the
money—I’ll trust you, even, if you
don’t want to trust me.”
“I can’t do it,”
“Here, take a ten for yourself and
give me the letter.”
“No.”
“Take a fifty, then. Keep it—fjo
what you please with it. I’ll lose
thousands of dollars if I miss that con¬
tract.”
Mabel only shook her head.
“Take the whole two hundred dol¬
lars! You can use it. Nobody will
fiver know. I’ll never come back td
bother you. Give me in the letter!” it and|
he pushed the money so that al¬
most fell to tho floor.
Mabel pushed it back, saying, “It
will do you no good to make me any
such offers. You cannot have the let¬
ter till you are properly identified.”
“I will have it,” he fairly shouted,
snatching back the money and hurry¬
.
ing around to the side toward the door
through which access was had to the
interior, and which had been left ajar
by the boy who had taken the mail
sack. But Mabel was too quick for
him, and pushed it shut in his face.
The spring lock clicked, and she
caught her breath with a feeling of re¬
lief; but he threw himself against the
door heavily, shattering tho catch and
sending the door back on its hinges
with a crash, The edge just struck
her forehead, and everything began to
turn black before her eyes; but there
stood the safe door open. She sprang
toward it, knowing as she did so that
she just mis3ed tho man’s grasp.
The heavy door went shut with a
dull bump. With one hand she turned
the handle which throw the bolts, and
with tho other spun round the com¬
bination knob. Then the darkness
became complete, and she remembered
no more.
The nest thing she heard was a con¬
fused murmur of voices. Then she
opened her eyes aud saw that she was
still in tho postoffice, lying on the dis¬
tributing table. Doctor Roberts, the
village physician, was bending over
her, aud assuring her mother, who
stood pale and frightened, that the
patient was not in danger. Mr. Blod¬
gett and two or three neighbors were
also, there. Tha voices came from a
crowd of people in th@ doctor, outer-room.
“There,” said the “you’re
going to bo all right now. l r ou can
go home in my carriage. I’ll go along. ”
“Did—did he get the letter?” asked
Mabel, feebly.
“No,” answered Mr. Blodgett.
“Never mind about tho letter,” said
the doctor. “We’ll tell yon about
that to-morrow. We’ll just take you
home now.”
They carried her outside to the easy
carriage which was waiting. As she
drove away she heard half the popula¬
tion of the village,' gathered at the
office in full force, set up a cry of
“Three cheers fjjr Mabel!” and they
were given with a will.
Tha next afternoon she was able to
sit up at home. Mr. Blodgett came
and congratulated heron what she had
done, He told her that after she had
become unconscious the man had es¬
caped by running .across the field to
the near-by woods, and that it no r
appeared he had good reason for run¬
ning away, since he was the accom¬
plice of some burglars at Riverside
who had sent him a large sum of
money, stolen the night befere, in the
letter, fearing immediate arrest them
themselves. This had been estab¬
lished by Riverside officers who had
arrested all the men, including the
one who had come to the office, that
morning, and by a postoffice inspector
who had taken possession of the letter.
A week later Mabel was back in the
office. Mr. Blodgett said to her the
first morning:
“The folks here have been talking
the matter over, and have decided ou
giving you a slight reward in the
shape of a purse ox money in recog¬
nition of what you did the other day.
Borne of them are coming in after a
while, and I thought I’d tell you so
you wouldn’t bo too much surprised.”
“They’re very kind,” said Mabel,
instantly, “but I couldn’t take any¬
thing. You please tell them so, and
stop their coming. I didn’t do any¬
thing more that day than my duty,
and I couldn’t take, any reward for
that; but you can thank them for me,
please.”
Mr. Blodgett went out, and she
took up the old work. She heard no
more about the reward.
But three weeks later a big official
envelope came, addressed to her own
name. It was a letter, and the com¬
mission from the Postoffice Depart¬
ment, appointing Mabel Loomis Post¬
mistress at Downingville, vice J. P.
Blodgett, resigned. — Youth’s Com¬

Planting the Orchard,
This spring will be the time to set
out some trees if you have no orchard
or if the one you have is beginning to
fail. If in a section where commer¬
cial orcharding is carried on it is well
to put out a planting each year or
two; if only a few trees are necessary
to supply the family wants a tree to
two should bo set out each year—at
least enough to keex> the number of
bearing frees full.
Apple trees are planted thirty by
thirty feet apart each way. This will
give forty-eight trees to the acre.
They should begin to bear iu three
years from setting and give a good
crop in ten years. With high culture
they should live from twenty-five to
lorty years, and when from twenty to
thirty years old should bear twenty
five to forty bushels each, every other
year.
Pears may be set twenty by twenty
four feet, using ninety to the acre;
they should come into bearing the
third or fourth year and give good
crops in twelve aud ought to live and
do well fifty to seventy-five years.
Peach trees may be set eighteen by
eighteen feet, which will give 134 to
the acre; they should bear iu two
years and give good crops in four
years. When in full bearing ought to
give five to ten bushels to each tree
and live from eight to twelve years
with high cultivation. Cherries may
be set tho same distance apart as
peaches.
Plums should get to bearing iu
three years from planting and give
good crops iu from five to six years
and continue to bear, with • high cul¬
ture, till the tree is twenty to twenty
five years old. Five to .eight bushels
is an average crop for au average tree.

Getting: Kid of Hoot Galls*
One section of tho greenhouse at
the Massachusetts Experiment Station
is at present devoted to cucumbers
grown in long boxes about eighteen
inches deep, with steam pipes imbed¬
ded in, the sod ..Here Professor Stone
and liis assistants have been studying
the cause and euro of loot galls, a
well-known disease which causes
swellings ou the roots of encumbers,
and of some other plants, always sap¬
ping their vitality and sometimes kill¬
ing them outright. The trouble, it
seems, is caused by a species of nema¬
tode, a tiny worm no larger than a
pinhead, -which forces its way into tho
tissues of the root.
After trying all sorts of chemicals,
likewise freezing and drying, the ex¬
perimenters have settled down to the
conclusion that tho most effectual,
complete and practical method at the
present time of exterminating nema¬
todes in greenhouses is by heating the
soil before planting by means of
steam. A bulletin is in preparation
which gives details of the method of
applying the steam. Pipes or tiles
with holes in them extend through the
benches and steam at a pressure of
fifty pounds or more is forced through
until the soil is thoroughly heated.
“How much heat is needed?”
“We heat for several hours until
the soil reaches 180 degrees,” replied
Assistant Sharpe. “The worms are
killed at 1G0, and we wish to make
sure of eggs, which resist a higher
temperature.”
“Are they all killed by the process?”
“Yes, we note no signs oi the root
knots where the soil has been treated.”
“What is being tested with tho
vines now that nematodes have been
killed?”
“We are trying whether we can add
manure to tho soil after it has been
heated, without introducing the
worms again in the manure. The ex¬
periment is not yet complete, but wa
have seen no signs of the worms and
no root galls in manured benches. In¬
cidentally the cucumber vines show
how the temperature is lower near the
glass sides of the greenhouse; note
how the two or three other rows aro
less thriftyJ;han those nearer the cen¬
ter. It is not worth while to try grow¬
ing vigorous plants very close to tne
Uass.”
The cost of heating the soil to kill
nematode worms is hard to estimate,
for varying conditions, but Professor
Stone says 100 cubic feet of soil can,
under favorable conditions, be heated
in an hour’s time. The process kills
all kinds of spores, eggs and worms.
Experiments are now under .way to
determine whether leaf spot of green¬
house violets is not brought on by the
weakening of the plant caused by root
galls. So far the tests indicate that
the two diseases go together,—New

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
r Planning For Sunday Meal,.
Arranging the Sunday meals on Sat
niday is very essential, especially
where the housewife must do all the ,
work without the aid of servants. A 1
salad is a great stand-by fora Sunday
evening supper, and the fish, meat,
or eggs can be prepared the day be¬
fore, and the cress, celery, or lettuce
washed and left in cold water ready
for instaut use. Meat loaf is auotlier
standard and palatable cold dish for
Sunday night. The chafing-dish can
be called into use for a hot Sunday
tea. Omelets, hash, or other simple
dishes cooked on the chafing-dish, ,
with buttered toast and tea, make a 1
desirable Stiuday-evening tea. For
breakfast there is nothing better than
codfish cakes and stewed potatoes.
The codfish bails cau also bo prepared
over-night, and it requires little work
to cook them up for an early breakfast.
This leaves only tho dinner to prepare
for Sunday.
A delicate dessert for Sunday din¬
ner is made by boiling a pint of cream
with a quarter of a pound of sugar,
and a little lemon flavoring. Mix this !
with a paste made of two teaspooufuls
of corn-flour, and let them boil a few
minutes, stirring thoroughly. Pour
this over a plate or bowl of mixed
fancy cakes, macaroons, and strips of
citron, raisins, and dried fruits. Make
successive layers of the cream qnd
cake until the^lish is full.
Inventory Hooks.
An “inventory book” is the latest
convenience for the housekeeper.
This is a printed list, with columns
for date of entry, value and
description. It is systematically
arranged and makes the list com¬
plete in case of fire, theft or death.
It is next to impossible to remember
all that u as in a room before a fire,
and the insurance companies always
require a sworn list before settling.
This housekeeper’s inventory will set¬
tle the matter quickly.
Articles likely to be found in any
room of the house are arranged in
alphabetical order, with the name and
location of the room heading the page.
Two pages are given over to each
room, beginning with albums, an¬
dirons, brackets, bric-a-brac, book
shelves, bureaus, bedsteads, etc., and
running through to wardrobes and
window seats. Special lists are also
arranged for bric-a-brac, books, clotk
i«», pictures, jowelfy, silverware, ornaments, dishes, paintings, china,
glassware, kitchen utensils, bedding
and linen, while a miscellaneous list
and recapitulation of the value of the
whole finishes the book.
Every room in the house has its
place in the book—chambers, parlors,
reception hall, other halls, dining
room, library, kitchen and pantries,
laundry and cellar, attic or store
room, and even the closets. Trunks,
boxes aud barrels have their places
and space for lists of their contents.
Nothing is left out.
Recipes*
Marrow Toast—Buy a large shin
bone and have the butcher split it so
the marrow can be taken out. Boil
the bone for stock and use the meat
to make potted beef. Mix in a hot
dish a teaspoon each chopped parsley
and lemon juice, half teaspoon salt, a
grain of cayenne and several drops of
lemon juice. Keep hot, but do not
cook away. Have toast prepared and
hot. Now prepare the marrow. Out
in slices and boil in one quart salted
water just ninety seconds. Mix with
the seasoning, spread on the toast
and serve at once. All must bo hot to
be good.
Broiled Vienna Steak—Have two
pounds of round steak cut medium
thick. Mix together four tablespoon¬
fuls of salad oil and one tablespoonful
of minced parsley and a minced slice
each of onion and a half teaspoonful
of yellow lemon peel. Hub both sides
of the meat with this mixture and let
stand over night. In the morning
drain, but do not wipe, and broil.
Dust a half teaspoonful of salt aud a
pinch of pepper lightly over tho
broiled steak, dot over with a half
teaspoonful of butter broken into bits,
and serve on a hot platter. The flavor
of meat treated in this way is de¬
licious, and it makes tough steak jucy
and tender.
“Bath Chaps”—Bath chaps is the
fanciful name given a pig’s cheek
cured and smoked, though there is
nothing to prove that the title was
gained by tho dish having been
particularly associated with the City
of Bath. They are an exceedingly
favorite cold breakfast dish, and can
be procured ready for boiling from
most good stores and provision mer¬
chants. They should be soaked in
cold water for a couple of hours before
cooking. Put them on to boil in tepid
water, and boil quickly from one to
one aud one-half hours, according to
_ coid in
their size. Allow them to get
the liquor. Then lift them out, re
move the skin aud sprinkle all over
with bread raspings, Garnish with
parsley.

0Y1N0 PACIFIC PEOPLES. fgg*
« . - - - • ”#1*
An Io¥eg(|g)lt ; on of the Caases Their Dl.*
appearance*
It has beeu known for years beautiful that
the nativc population of the
Polynesian Islands is growing smaller
nml that the day is not far distant
when the aborigines will become ex¬
tinct, as is already tho ease in Tas¬
mania. Mr. It. Mahler has been mak¬
ing an exhaustive study of the causes
tlnlt are blotting these people out of
existence and has printed his volu- A
milieus memoir in the “Internationale*
Archivus Ethnographic.” u
He says that even at the time flhen :\
Europeans began to visit the islands
comparatively few of them were in¬
habited. This fact was partly due to
their isolation fnjrn other lands and
partly to, natural phenomena unfavor¬
able to human life, such as hurri¬
canes, volcanic eruptions, drought and
other causes that tended to extermi¬
nate or drive cut tlfc natives. The num¬
ber of islands, however, which had
never been visited by human beings
was very small. But since the whit*
race appeared among the Polynesian
groups tho number of inhabited islands
has greatly diminished, Some of tha
islands have lost all their uative pop¬
ulation, while in others only a feeble
remnant remains of the large num¬
bers who formerly lived there.
Mr. Mahler gives the following as
the chief reasons for this depopulation:
In the first ylaee contagious maladies
introduced by whites have destroyed
large numbers of tho natives, Then
spirituous liquors have been introduc¬
ed in many islands regardless of tho
consequences to the natives, and tho
drink habit has claimed many victims.
Then the wars that have been waged
by the natives against the whites or
with one another have been made far
more destructive by the introduction
of firearms.
Another cause of depopulation has
beeu the exportation of many natives
of some islands to labor on the white
plantations of other islands, often far
from their homes. Many of the deport¬
ed islanders die in this service, many
others have never returned their
1 wines and the entire enforced labor
system in the Pacific is merely a dis¬
guised form of slavery. The crowding
of the natives back into less fertile
regions in order to make room for
white settlements in the best part of
the islands is another fruitful cause of
the uative diminution.
The white man is still assisting ef¬
fectively in th'e'ex tmcfTon Sf-TtHH TO-'"
fives which, Mr. Mahler thinks, will
be completely accomplished in the
course of the next century. The fine
Polynesian race, so interesting in
many aspects, will be completely re-.
placed by the white races, particularly j
by the English and the Germans, and
some of the islands will be occupied
by the Japanese aud Chinese. The na¬
tives will disappear first from the
largest and most fertile islands, but !
they may have a somewhat longer
lease tractive of life on the islands smaller that and less are j
loss a because I
productive.
The appearance among them of the
whites produced great changes in thq
distribution among’the natives of tb<!
island areas. For instance, in former
times the need of protection was great
and many villages were hidden in the
forests or perched upon elevated rocks.
The whites now maintain peace in
nearly all the islands, and a great
many of these protected villages have,
therefore, been abandoned. The na¬
tives have sold many of their best
lands to Europeans or have been forc¬
ed to abandon thorn, and on account of
their decreasing numbers Polynesians
have abandoned a large number of vilii
lages they formerly occupied.—Sun.
