He put the end of his long clay pipe between his lips and watched the wreaths of smoke slowly ascending from it.

He walked leisurely up the garden patlh, but suddenly paused and utâ€" tered an exclamation of astonishment. 7 Miss Martin came, and iuformed Jennie that her father was the most aristocratieâ€" Doking gentleman she had ever seen. But during her stay Mr. Johuson was subjectâ€" ed to many slights, as Jennie and her busâ€" band were ashamed of some of his old fashâ€" ioned ways,. 3 o The old man took up the newspaper, but the words ran into one another, . for large tears gathered in his bright grey eyes, and his lips quivered painfally, ‘She hastily left the room, shntling the door with a bang. % "If there is such a fine view from the ’ window, your visitor may enjoy it, and she can lie on the feather bed. I‘ve slept in the front room fiveâ€"andâ€"forty years, and I ain‘t aâ€"going to be turned out, now. â€"If Miss Martin ain‘t satisfied with the accomâ€" modation, she may stay away;" "‘Stay away, indeed!" fired Jennie. "It‘s juet like you father, I call you selâ€"| fish," Mr. Johnson leisurely crossed his legs, put his newspaper on the table, took his spectacles off, rubbed them, put them in the case, and then slowly rejoingd : "Oh, it‘s such a little poky place! I don‘t mean that, exactly," she exclaimed, checking herself in coufusion. "The room is very clean, and there is a beantiful view trom the window and a good feather bed. But Miss Martin is very particular; she has such a grand home that we cannot put her anywhere." _ ‘*Would you mind sleeping in the back bedroom for a few weeks ?â€"we have a visitor coming," said Jenuie, one morning, about sizx months after the wedding. The old man stared in great surprise, "Why can‘t the visitor go into the back room ?" he asked. All went well for a time. Then graduâ€" ally there came a change over the serene atmosphere of the dwelling, and the old man became conscious that he was no lonâ€" gor treated with courtesy, or his wishes reâ€" specte !. _ Jennie was installed as housekeeper in her father‘s home. _ Aftera time Mr. Jolinâ€" ston presented his daughter with the deed of gift, and the young people were formally acknowledged as master and mistress of the farm, with the understanding that Mr. Johnston was to reside with them. : Jennie was a blooming, bonnie and seemed proud of ber stalwart band. ‘*Your father is very good, Jeunie must be kind to him." The wedding day arrived. Mr. Johnston was placed in the se honor. He moved among the g with a kind word and cherry greetin all. ’ "I am so glad, Robert, that I shall not kave to leave my home," she said, aiter a pause, "for I was born here, and here my maother died. It was very kind of father to propose that we should live with him. Now you can keep all the money in the bank that you have been s.ving so long to buy furniture with, and if we are care> ‘ ful we shall + oon add some more to it." . The young man looked down lov to the shy, dark .eyes raised and clasped the hand that rested aruo. *"When two more days have passed will be my wife !" In the meantime Jennie and her lover were in the orchard at the back of the house slowly walking up and down the path be tween the trees. "Xou do‘nt know my Jennie; she‘s the loveliest, best, truest girl that ever lived. Ble would neyer wrong her father." There was a little eyes as he replied : ’ ‘"Well, I was aâ€"thinking as how, when Jane got possession of the bouse, she might, maybe, after a it turn you out.

The other began to smokeâ€"puffâ€"puff. After a few minutes the full meaning of his friend‘s words dawned slowly upon his mind. C "And what hes this to do with war saying ?" enguired Mr. J testily.

Whatever answers to questions were really written during the seance were, however. in all probability traced with his very musâ€" cular and elastic left fout.

A reporter who 4 shared a bed with Slade on Thureday night a audience gathered to greet him only peered ! into the mystery of his tricks and exposed their nature.
