"I believe you are years younger than I am, and yet yon have a kind of motherly way with me when I'm wicked and cross, as I am today." 'Tm two->and-twenty," said Janetta, with a- laugh. "And I am tour years your senior, and yet 1 feel as if I were a child and you a woinao; you are so tall and strong, and you make me feel com­ fortable even when you are sitting in the room. You are making me a monster of selfishness. Do you knoif you've scarcely been out of the house since you came?" j "I don't want td go out. ' I'm never dnll1 with you." "I've told Harry it must not go on,* said Clarice. "I've sent him oft te hire a bicycle for you, and he'll take you out; it will.cheer you both up. I wpnder sometimes if Harry will get tired of waiting for me--do you?" "I think the very fact that you are delicate, and need so much petting and love, would make me love you All the more," said Janetta. "Ah! that's a woman's view. I won­ der if it's Harry's. I often want to ask him, and I'm such a coward I dare not. If he wants his freedom he must ask for it; I will not give it him." "I think," Janetta said, rising to rearrange Clarice's cushions, "if you fret yourself over imaginary ills yon won't be down tonight." < "I shall if you leave me quiet!*' cried Clarice, who had not ceased talking for the past hour. "You'll promise that, you'll go out with Harry?" "Oh, yes; I'll go if you like," said Janetta, who was learning that the simplest way of managing Clarice was to humor her whims. She looked such a picture of grace and strength when she came down ready equipped for her ride, in a neat­ ly-made coat and skirt of some dark material, relieved only by a bright- colored ribbon in her sailor hat, that Captain Merivale gave her an involun­ tary glance of admiration. "My mistress' orders are that I'm to take you for a good long ride," he said, wheeling round Clarice's bicycle. /'She says she has kept you tab tightly tied to her sofa." "It is the place where I like best ts be," Janetta answered, with perfect Macerity. Yet the swift ride through the bright •smahlne of the February afternoon was real enjoyment, and the compan- gnshlp of a clever, cultivated w»»n te Captain Merivale was intellect­ ually invigorating. 'They were racing along the bread road that stretched like a white line for miles along the top of the ellffs #fcen Jenetta began to slacken speed. "Tired at last?" cried Harry, with a trfeNK»kant laugh. "I thought I would 00L let you have your fling. You met be magnificently strong to keep tp a pace like that." ' "I am not tired now," retorted Ja- ••Ma, with shining eyes and flushed Sfreeks. "I could go on for miles and Wiles, butMiss Seymour will be glad t* see as batik." yon know why I brought yon •this way?" asked Harry, with a sud­ den change of tone. "We are close to the very spot where Clarice wa» thrown over the cliff , on to that pro- Jtatlng ledge of rock tttat you can see It you..get off your bicycle for a min ute." Janetta junjped off, went to the edge of the cliff, and peeped Over, with Shuddering interest. "I wonder she was picked up alive! Were you with her?" , "Yes," replied Harry shortly. "It was hard lines dn us both, wasn't it? We had been engaged just a month." "She's getting better, isn't she?" "I do not know. Sometimes I think--" Harry came to an abrupt pause, and Janetta did not ask him to finish his sentence. They pursued their way home at a more sober pace, and Janetta felt the brightness of the day had departed with the relation of that sad little story. They found Clarice on her couch in the drawing room, every Vestige of ill- temper gone, looking her best and brightest, arrayed in a new gown of soft texture and bewitching hue. "Yes, I hope you are going to say something nice to me," she said, with an arch smile at her lover. "I had it made as a glad surprise, and came down partly to gratify my own vanity, and more to annoy Doctor Drake, who told me to stay upstairs this evening. Instead, I've invited him to dinner and put on a new frock." "I care little for the motives that brought you down, as long as I find you looking so happy and pretty, if I may give expression to a truth," said Harry, sitting down by her sofa. "Mrs. Mor­ timer, will you be kind enough to give us some tea? We are hungry and thirsty after our ride." Mrs. Mortimer looked more glum than usual. She had employed her af­ ternoon in lecturing Clarice upon the impropriety of sending out Janetta with Captain Merivale, and Clarice had answered her remonstrance with merry, derisive laughter.? "I'm not afraid to trust them--- Harry is going to marry me; but If you feel like that, dear Mrs. Mortimer, take a tricycle and follow after them/' she had remarked, a little flippantly. "If harm comes of it " "No harm will come," interposed Clarice, a little sharply. "Janetta Is the soul of honor, and of Harry there is no need to speak." "You have known her lor a week," said Mrs. Mortimer. : "And she is as easy to read as a book," Clarice had said. And there the subject dropped. "I'll tell yon a secret, Harry," said Clarice, when they were left alone for for half an hour's chat before din­ ner. "I've- ordered a new dress for Janetta--an evening dress--such a pretty one, and it's on her bed ready for her to put on tonight I want her to look her best. She knows nothing about it" "Will She wear it, do yon think?" asked Harry, a little doubtfully. "I shall be furious if she doesn't I want Doctor Drake to take a fancy to her." "So that's it is it--yon ars turning into a matchmaker? A dangerous game, Clarice. I advise you to drop it." To Clarice's intense mortification Janetta, who did not come down until the dinner gong sounded, appeared in the simple black dress that she wore every night. Neither did she and Doc­ tor Drake seem to find interests ia common; for although he took her in to dinner, and talked to her as in courtesy bound, when he came into the drawing room afterwards he seated himself by Clarice's sofa, and devoted himself to her for the rest of the even- interested in what the tetttM hold in atom lor the two w] story was being enacted befofo •yea,. Sometimes she suspected that thf passion of devotion must always ha been more on her side thaii manner to her was gracefully a®wtton- ate; but for herself she felt would have demanded something warmer from the man she was going to marry. "I shall go to India with a much easier mind now that I know Clarice has some one with her who will make her life so bright," said Captain Ms*! vale one afternoon, as thay:.#iK|i/fa- turning from a walk by the' SML, "It is good of you to say that," Jan etta answered. "I need not assuri you that I'll do everything I can to make Miss Seymour happy. She's the kindest friend I ever had, and I'm glad I've got to know you so well. I like to think that, when she get# bet­ ter and you marry, I shall feel that I may keep you both as friends." Captain Merivale did not answer for a minute, and Janett. glanced up at him a little uneasily, and saw that he had turned rather white. • "Yes," he said carelessly, "we've been capital friends ever since we met in that curious way on the railway, and I pulled you through the windoW." Janetta felt puzzled and hurt by his manner. His tone was studiedly in­ different, and he referred pointedly to what had been, rather than to what might be in the future. She thought, with bitter mortification, that in her eager sympathy with him and Clarice she had proffered friendship which had evidently been regarded as an impert­ inence. "With all my boasted independence, I've forgotten my position," she said to herself reddening with vexation; but her resolve was taken at the risk of vexing Clarice, she would have no more walks or talks with Captain Merivale. She did not make her way as usual to Clarice's room that afternoon when she came in from her walk. She felt as in her inward annoyance might find expression in her face. She was con­ siderably surprised as she entered her bedroom to hear the quick shutting of a drawer, and Mason, with some ap­ pearance of confusion, began to close the window and draw the blind. Janetta was certainly net suspicious by nature, but the girl's manner made her feel certain that she had been tampering with her things. C (To be Continued^ J ' ' u**'x MARQUIS OF LANSPOWNIt.

Janetta looked up from her writing with a swift shake of the head. "1 should like you to call me Janetta, but I prefer to call you Miss Seymour. "I've been waiting for your faults t# crop up. I feared you ,hadn't any; but I've found yon out now--you've a very nasty pride." Janetta laughed merrily. "How have I shown it?" "Twice already. You didn't put on that new dress last night, you decline to call me by my proper name today." Janetta's colors came and went. "Did it seem horribly ungrateful? I had a hard struggle with myself before I knew what to do, and then it seemed quite clear to me that 1 must keep my independence, and wear my own clothes as long as I can earn money enough to provide them. You are so kind and good to me that you ignore my true position; but I must remem­ ber my own, and respect its conditions. It does not seem fitting to take your gifts and call you by your name when I am really your paid companion. We are not on equal terms." "It seems to be as If we were on very equal terms; both of us are or­ phans--at least, I think you told me that you had neither father nor mother living." "Yes, they are both dead," said Jan­ etta shortly. "And because I happen to have more money than you, why should you mind if how and then it pleases me to give you things? I have not many pleas­ ures." "Ton don't really know me, yon see. In your generous, impulsive fashion, you've invested me with various qual­ ities which, as you know me better, you'll find I do not possess."

When the Marquis of Lansdowne was governor-general of Canada he had tc make a speech to the French-Cana­ dians, says M. A. P. With all its loy­ alty to the English connection, thia little bit of transported Prance adhere* very rigidly to many thlngB French,and especially to the purity of the French tongue--at least as it was spoken ir the eighteenth century. Few vlceroyi have ever ventured accordingly te leave the safe security of the English tongue, and it was with some trepida­ tion that the French-Canadians he^rt that Lord Lansdowne was going to de­ liver a speech to them in their own language. But he had scarcely uttered the word "messieurs" when the wholt audience burst into cheers; they rec­ ognized at once the accent of the tru< French tongue, the accent only possi­ ble to a man of French blood, and on< who had spoken French as his mothei tongue. It is perhaps this accomplish­ ment which had something to do wltt Lord Lansdowne's latest appointment When some one remonstrated with Lord Salisbury for retaining the tw< offices of prime minister and toreigi secretary, his reply was that he coultf not help himself, there was but on< member of his cabinet who could speak French, and that was Lord Lansdowne.

There are many substances and mix­ tures used for cleaning and polishing brass. Oxalic acid Is the best, but it must be immediately washed off and the brass dried and rubbed, with sweet oil and some polishing powder, other­ wise it will soon tarnish again. A very good preparation for polishing Is madq of one ounce of oxalic aqid, two ounce* rotten stone, an ounce and a half sweet oil, and turpentine, enough to make a paste. When used, a little water Is added and the brass is rubbed vigorously with this. Brass work that is so dirty by smoke and heat as not to be cleaned with oxalic acid, should be thoroughly washed or scrubbed with soda or potash lye. Then apply a mix­ ture of equal parts of nitric acid, sul­ phuric acid, and water, with a swab made by tying a piece of cloth to the end of a stick, rubbing the solution over the dirty or smoky parts. Leave the acid on for a minute, then wash clean and polish. Care must be taken not to get any of this acid mixture on the hands or clothes as it is very cor­ rosive.--Montreal Herald and Star. >W;V' & ,r»- , WM-- % The magnificent Eagle-Dragon group which was brought over from the Paris exhibition by Tiffany A Co., of New York, and is now being exhibited at their establishment, has been pur­ chased by George J. Gould and will bs added to the grand collection of works of art at his Lakewood, N. J?, home-- Georgian Court. This is probably one of the most remarkable examples of wrought iron work ever seen in this country. It was ordered by Emperor William II. to crown the eenter of the Court of Honor of the German section at the Paris exhibition. It represents a great eagle of heroic size, with out­ spread wings, struggling with a gigan­ tic dragon, which is held by the eagle's talons. The group symbolizes the con­ test of liberty and truth with oppres­ sion and superstition--the eagle being the emblem of freedom. The eagle measures twelve feet from tip to tip of the expanded wings and six feet six inches from the beak to the end of the tail. Its weight is 4,200 pounda. The dragon measures twenty-two and one half feet in length, though much folded and colled and weighs 6,000 pounds. The total weight of both pieces is therefore 10,200 pounds. This Is exclusive of the iron base and rock mound on which it rests. Their weight is fifteen tons. When mounted the group is sixteen feet three Inches high. This was the most important group in forged iron shown at the Paris ex­ hibition of 1900 or any previous ex­ hibition, and is of great artistic merit as well as a wonderful piece of me­ chanical technique and ingenuity. In size it far surpasses any similar work before executed. The eagle and dragon are beautiful­ ly wrought in artistic detail. The modeling is wonderfully strong, and each individual feather possesses all the variety of form and size as would an eagle's feather. That painful de­ tail so often present in work of this character is pleasingly absent. The group is a happy combination of ideal­ ism and realism, none of the strength of the latter being lost in the blending with the former. The Japanese iron eagle at the Co­ lumbian exhibition of 1893 measured twenty-six inches across the outspread wings, while the famous iron eagle in the Science Art department of the South Kensington museum measured twenty-eight inches across the wings. A Famous Old Howe. Sfoen the Indian Territory is begin­ ning to have its "ancient" landmarks. In Fort Gibson stands a house built in 1833/, which is old for that region. It was once the home of Bushyhead, formerly chief of the Cherokee Nation. The house is now occupied by an In­ dian family, distant relatives ofx the old chief. It was built about the time the Cherokees were removed to the Territory and for years it was pointed out as "the finest residence on Grand River." It has sheltered some of the biggest men in the country. Under its rafters have stopped President Taylor, James G. Blaine, General Sherman and scores of other well known white men, besides many of the most prominent Indians in the country. When the gov­ ernment flfst established Fort Gibson this house was used as officers' quar­ ters. All the big social "functions" of the officers' society were given in It Many women in the exclusive circles of Washington society have 'n their younger days danced beneath the roof of this house.

In the house have been signed some of the principal treaties made by the Cherokees. Here, too, have been laid plans for the In­ dians to take the war path, and In it have been signed peace agreements. Fort Gibson is now a city and the house stands in the part of it known as old town." There is a legend among the Indians that when Upton was sta­ tioned at Fort Gibson and occupied the house he got many valuable hints for his tactics (or at least for the revis­ ion of them) from Chief Ross and oth­ er Cherokee chiefs. ®TA» Juperimpo*ed Turret*, The reported accident to the thir­ teen inch gun of the battleship Kear- sarge, which has the superimposed tur­ ret system, undoubtedly will be thor­ oughly investigated. At least it should be. The details of the accident are not yet known, nor is it known wheth­ er the guns were disabled, as it was claimed would be the case should an accident happen to any of them. In this connection it would also be interesting to know what has caused such a radical change of opinion on the part of the Board of Naval Construc­ tion. It is not" long since the superim­ posed turret system was rejected by the board upon the ground that diffi­ culties in operation of the two turrets and the danger that the same shot might disable both rendered its adop­ tion unwise. Now ten out of the twelve members of the board have voted not .only to abandon the old tur­ ret system adopted for the battleships Virginia and Rhode Island, but also to equip all of the seven new battleships authorized by congress with superim­ posed turrets. It is also intimated that the new system may be used on the Illinois, Maine, Missouri and Ohio, now being built on the old lines. This ac­ cording to the latest judgment of the board, would secure a homogeneous new fleet, and hence the greatest ef­ ficiency.--Ex. SVatae of the Crop* of1900.

Kansas City, Mc., Feb. 26, 1901.-- (Special.)--Some two years ago a lo­ cal druggist engaged In a transaction which was in its details tomewhat're- markable. He was visited by IDtas Anna P. Nichols, who had a doctor's prescription for rheumatism, which the druggist was filling. In the course of conversation the good lady Baid: "1 would give one hundred dollars to get well." He immediately replied: "Give me Ave dollars and I will guarantee to cure you." ^ She agreed, and he At once handed her a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, say­ ing: "They are 50c a box. Two boxes may cure you, but I am quite sure that ten will." Miss Nichols tells the story as fol­ lows; "Dodd's Kidney Pills are verit- able life preservers. I was troubled for five years with Rheumatism, so that at times my right arm seemed paralyzed and I could only walk with difficulty, and could not go out of doors if the air was damp or cold. I took so much medicine that I think my system was poisoned rather than helped. One day when my druggist was putting up a prescription for me remarked to him that I would glye one hundred dollars for a remedy that would make me better." ' 'Give me five dollars and I will guarantee to cure you,' he said. I readily agreld and he handed me a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills, saying, 'They are 50c a box. Two boxes may cure you, but I am sure that ten will.' left my prescription intact and, in­ stead, took these Pills, and I found them, as I said before, to be veritable life preservers. Before I had finished the second box I had my first perfect night's rest in years. I gradually im­ proved. I had determined to use the ten boxes before I would give up, but Imagine my surprise to find that be­ fore half that quantity was used I was completely cured. This was two years ago, and I have not had a twinge since." Miss Nichols is Vice Grand Baxter, Rebekah Lodge I. O. O.

After trying in vain to get the horse up, he gathered all the ashes in the neighborhood and sprinkled them under the horse. This was successful.
