It was so old that it naa a sort of personality. It was the history of the Swaffham family in stone and timber. The central tower built of the white stone of the neighborhood was the fortress which Tonbert Swaffham erected A. D. 870, to defend his lands from an invasion of the Danes; and five generations of Tonberts descendants dwelt In that tower, before William of Normandy took possession of the crown of England. The Swaffham of that date became a friend of the Conqueror; and the Manor House had the singular fortune to be Identified with the stirring events of every dynasty. In the middle of the seventeenth century It still retained this character. Puritan councils of offense and defense had been held In Its great hall, and parliamentary soldiers drilled In Its meadows. For Capt Israel Swaffham was the friend of Gen. Cromwell, and at the time this story opens was with Cromwell In Scotland. A great fighter, he had no parliamentary talent, and no respect for parliaments. He believed Englands religious and civil liberties were to be saved by the sword, and when the Kings proposals had been discussed by the men of Cambridgeshire, In Swaffham, he had closed the argument with this passionfiJUfSS e ate declaration: There is no longer disputing with such a double mind as the mind of Charles Stuart The very oath of God would not bind him. Out, instantly, all of you who can! Ills three sons rose at his words and the rest of the council followed, for all felt that the work was but half done there was to bo a Second Civil War. Then home was again deserted for the battlefield, and Capt Swaff-harawife and daughter were once more left alone in the old Manor House. Mrs. Swaffham was the child of Puritan minister, and she had strong principles, but there were hours when she had pitied the late king, excused his inexcusable treacheries, and regretted the pomps ana ceremonies of see her lose It. Then Matilda laughed, and stooping, to her friend, kissed her and said, Come, little Jane, I will ask your pardon. Kiss and be friends, Jane. I came to get your receipt for lavender conserves, and this is nothing to It. . Come, let us go to the She spoke with an unconscious air of authority, and Jane as unconsciously obeyed it, but there was a coldness in her manner which did not disappear until the royalist lady had talked with her for half an hour about the spices and the distilled waters. When the electuary had been prepared, the girls became silent. They were as remarkably contrasted as were the tenets, religious and civil, for which they stood. But If mere physical ascendency could have dominated Jane Swaffham, she was In Its presence. Yet It was not Matilda, but Jane, who filled the cool, sweet place with a sense of power not to be disputed. Iler pale hair was full of light and life; It seemed to shine in its coll. Her waving order ar.d crown-likeyes had a steady glow In their depths that was Invincible; her slight form was proudly poised; her whole manner resolute and a little cold, as of one who was putting down an offense only Matilda was conscious of Janes influence, and she called all her own charms forth to rival It. Putting out of account her beautiful face and stately figure as not likely to affect Jane, she assumed the manner she had never known to fall a manner half serlous and wholly affectionate and confidential. She knew that Swaffham was always a safe subject, and that a conversation set to that key went directly to Janes heart So turning slowly round to observe ew erythlng, she said, IIow cool and sweet Is this place, s royal state. Jane Swaffham was of a different spirit She had a soul of the highest mettle; and she bad listened to those English mystics, who came out of the steel ranks or triumphant Puritanism, until she had caught their spirit and been filled through, and through with their faith. This was the maiden who was sitting. one sunny afternoon, at the open window of the household parlor in Swaffham. She was thinking of ber father and. brothers, of the unhappy condition of England, and of the unrest In their own household. For she knew that ter mother was worried about many things, and the fret that was bred In the kitchen and the farm offices In spite of all ber efforts Insinuated ltsdf Into the still order of the handsome room in which she was sitting. At this moment there was the sound of wheels and the tramp of horses, and Jane said, It is Matilda de Wick. I know the roll of the carThen Jane lifted her sewing, riage. and the wheel began to hum, and the door opened swiftly and Matilda de Wick entered. "I have Just been at Ely," she said, years and If 1 live longer In this Blnful world, I shall not forget the visit. I have been visiting Lady Heneago, and 1 have heard so much of the Cromwells full cup that. In faith, 1 think It has gone to my seven-and-fift- tcad" I trust Lady Ileneage is well, said Mrs. Swaffham. She bad need to be well. Iler house Is as full as the ark. Mrs. Elizabeth Hampden is there, and daughter Flambord, and daughter and Clayton, and all their children retainers. It is their Inst gathering before they go away. Do you wish to know wJiere they are going? To London, of Course." "And they are going to London? Is it really so?" SBked Jane. " Tls not very civil to doubt It. But that is not all of my news I heard also that Jane Swaffham was going to London a thing I would not believe without Jane's assurance." It is very uncertain," replied Mrs. Jane has an invitation Swaffham. from Mary Cromwell, and If Doctor find Verity comes here soon, he may th time to take her to London with him.

An full of melancholy, and and apart ly pervaded the place. The door stood open, and she passed without delay Into the wide entrance hall, and went leisurely up the broad stairway. Her hat. with Its moist drooping feathers, was in her hand; her hair hung limply about her brow and taee; she was the very picture of a beauty that had suffered the touch of adverse nature, and the depression of unsympathetic humanity. But the moment she entered her own room she had tho sense of covert and refreshment. She put off her sense of alienation and unhappiness with her damp clothing, and as the comfort of renewal came to her outalso rewardly, the Inner woman gained her authority; and the girl conscious of this potent personality, erected herself In Its strength and InShe surveyed her freshdividuality. In Its gown of blue luteclad form ly string; she turned right and left to admire a fresh arrangement of her hair; she put around her neck, without pretense of secrecy pr apology, the rosary of coral and gold; and admired the tint and shimmer of its beauty on her white throat. Then she asked Was any stranger with the Earl at dinner, Della? with Father My lady, he dined Saey alone. And pray wbat did they eat for still-room- e balf-forglve- Jane! It is, Matilda. I often think that one might receive angels among these pure scents. Oh, I vow it Is the rosemary! Let me put my hands through It, and she hastily pulled off her wnite emhroid' ered gloves, and passed her hands, shining with gems, through tne deliciously fragrant green leaves. I have a passion for rosemary,1 she continued. It always perflgures good fortune to me. Sometimes if I wake in the night I smell It I smell miles of it and then I know my angel has been to see me, and that some good thing will tread in her footseps. Then she said with an attempt at indifference, lYhen did you hear from And pray in what place Cymlin? must I remember him now? I know not particularly. Wherever l the is, there Cymlin Swaffham is like to be. Why do you not ask after Stephens fortune good or bad? I did not at the moment think of btephen. When Cromwell is in the mind tls impossible to find him fit company. It is he, and he only." Yet If ever Stephen de Wick gets a glimpse of home, it Is not home to him until he has been at Swaffham.' Jane made no answer, and they walked silently to the door where Ma tildas carriage was waiting. Mrs, Swaffham joined them as Matilda was about to leave, and the girl said, had come near to forgetting some thing I wished to tell you. One of those men called Quakers was preach lng his new religion at Squire Oliver Leders last night. There was much disputing about him What said Lady Ileneage of the preacher?" asked Mrs. Swaffham. She thought he ought to be put In the stocks; and her sister Isabel said that be was a good man, and bad the root of tho matter in him. I heard that he was to preach again at Deep lng Den. Now, I must make what baste I can; my father will bo angry at my delay. Goodbye! faithful till we meet again." She says faithful, yet knows not how to bo faithful. Captain-Genera- - She Is much changed." It would bo strange Indeed if she was not changed. Before these troubles she was a girl living at her mothers knee, petted by her father, and the idol of her brothers. Two of her brothers fell fighting by the side of Prince Rupert, her mother wept herself Into the grace for them, her father Is still nursing the wound he got at Naseby, and her only brother, Stephen, Is with Charles Stuart, wherever he may be. If such troubles did not change a girl, she would be hewn from the very rock of gclfishnesa." On her way home Matilda sat erect, lost in thought, and her eyes bad a look in them full of anxiety and sorrow. The sadness of an immense disillusion was over her. Her life had gone to ruin, but she trusted that some miracle would restore it. All her old friends had departed. The grave bad some; others had taken different ways, or battle and exile had scattered them. By the sldo of her sick father she stood alone. Oppressed by such considerations, she felt like a child that suddenly realized It lias lost its way and Is left alone in a wilderness. Nothing In her surroundings offered her any help. The road was flat and dreary; a wide level Intersected with droves" a poor, deep drains and rough, moist land, whoso horizon was Our Fire Reserves. By . !n number, March 1, 1900, the area nf forest reserves, thirty-firns oilk .illy stated, was 71,1)97 square miles, distributed In elevenj States west of the 102d meridian. With the additions of 1902 hr Frosldout Roosevelt in Wyoming and Montana, the area foots up at present to over HO.OOO square miles, an urea equal to the combined areas of the New England States together with tho area of Maryland. With the forest reserves of ISO! and IS'.i, 3"1V2 square miles In area, th additions of 1901 by President Roosevelt inclose the Yellowstone National Park on all but the western side, eoustluiilng an expanse of over 9090 square mile lu Wyoming nud some 2200 In Montana. On January 29, 1903, the President, not yet satisfied with his startling additions of nearly Sooo square miles to the Yellowstone reserves, was further Induced to sign a third proclamation within ht mouths, merging the Teton, Absarokn and Yellowstone forest reserves with additional territory of several hundred square miles yet uneomputed, oil to be known oa the Yellowstone Forest Reserve.

All very good, my lady; will you please to eat something? Yes. I will have some Jugged hare, and some clotted cream, and a raspberry tart and a glass of Sapnish wine, Della, and a pitcher of new milk. Have them served as soon as possible." She took one comfortable glance at herself, and In the pleasure of its assurance went down stairs, Her step was now firm and rapid, yet aha paused a moment at the door of the room she wished to enter, and called upv smiles to her face and a sort of cheerful bravado to her manner ere she lifted tho steel hasp that admitted her. In a moment her quick eyes took a survey of Its occupants. They were only two men Earl de Wick, and his chnplain, Father Sncy. Both were reading; the Earl, Sir Philip Sidneys Arcadia; the chaplain, the evening service In the book of common prayer, Neither of them noticed her entrance, and she went straight to her fathers side, and covering the open page with her hand, said' in a merry tone Here is a noble dwelling in Arcadia, while the great Captain-Genera- l " Cromwell , r , The devil!"

What do you expect from that news? That Leslie will be his match." Then you will be disappointed.

Well, then, I may as well return to nay Arcadia and learn how to be rustical.

On the contrary the Iin of cleavage between good citizenship and bnd citizenship separates the rich u.au who dops well from the rich tnun who does ill, the poor man of good conduct from the poor tnun of bad conduct. This line of cleavage lies at right nngles to any such arbitrary line of division as that separating one class from another, one locality from anther, or men with a certain degree of property from those of a less degree of property. The good citizen is the man who, whatever his wealth or his poverty, strives manfully to do Ills duty to himself, to his family, to his neighbor, to th Ftate; who Is Incapable of the baseness which manifests itself either In arrogance or in envy, but who, while demanding Justice for himself is no lesa scrupulous .to do justice to others. It is because the average American citizen, rich or poor, is of just this type that we have cause for our profound. .. faith in tho future of tbo republic. Ours is a government of liberty, by, through and under the law. Law lcssness and connivance at law breaking whether the law breaking tak the form of a crime of greed and cunning or of a crime of violence uro destructive not only of order, but of the true liberties which can only come through order. If alive to their true interests rich and poor alike will set their faces like flint against the spirit which seeks personal advantage by overriding the laws, without regard to whether this spirit shows Itself in the form of bodily violence by one set of men or in the form of vulpine cunning by another set of men. Let the watchwords of all our people be tho old familiar watchwords of honesty, decency, fair dealing and common sense. The qualities denoted by these words are essential to all of ns, as we deal with the complex industrial the problems affecting not merely the accumulation, but problems of even more the wise distribution of wealth. We ask no mans permission when we require him to obey the law; neither tbo permission of the poor man, nor yet of the rich man. Least of all can the man of great wealth afford to break the law, even for bis own financial advantage; for the law is bis prop and support, and it is both foolish and profoundly unpatriotic for him to fall ia Is in very fact one law, giving hearty support to those who show that there and one law only, allko for the rich and the poor, for the great and the ' small. to-da- What a Candle Teaches By Frederick Brelthut The human mind rre HOLTS of facts nro usually uninteresting. fers to leave cold reality and to soar Into the high regions of imagination and desire. But facts are the only true basis of real knowledge. There Is no getting away from them. If they ar neglected, no matter bow beautifully we build on another foundation, our structure is doomed to collapse. Considering this, does It not seem rnther surprising that facts are so frequently neglected? r novel or a piece of Yon can get a man to rend a sentimental poetry with the greatest ease. But put n scientific book In Ills bunds, a book which contains truth and real Instruction, and if you can get your uinti to read rnoro than the first page you are lucky. Even though this Is the ease, I want to itsl; you to consider a littlo problem problem of n burning candle. with tne, with a view to getting some fncts-t- he A burning randle Is a small gas factory. No matter in what state any mnterlnl is, whether it is a solid like wax. or a liquid like kerosene, it must first be converted Into a gas before we can have a flame. Tbo only difference between a candle and a gas factory Is that the gases of the candle arc not made at a distance and conveyed by mvars of pipes to distant burners, but they are manufactured on the spot nt.d consumed as fast as they are made. Our ordinary caudle is made of tallow, a solid which consists mainly of Th two substances, one of wh'ch Is called carbon, the other hydrogen. burning of the wick melts the tallow near It. This molten tallow is absorbed by tlie wick and carried to tho flame. It Is here that the liquid Is changed Into gases. The decomposition of the molten tallow yields acetylene gns t gn and these burn with a flame. By burning w marsh gas and mean that the carbon and hydrogen of these gases unite with the oxygen of the air with sufficient bent to make a flame. Flame may be luiclnmis, a the ordinary yellow gas Came, or non luminous, n tho bluish flame you get In your g.i stove. The ordinary gas flame Is luminous because particles of carbon, set fro by the burning, are made to glow. You can prove thl statement by introducing a cold object, like u plate or saucer, Into n cnndlo flame. You will the carbon which hns come from th see a black rteMsit of soot.
