And as for your fitness, I believe youre as cuch of a lady as any girl In London. Oh, Hamilton." I do. Look at your hands and feet, and your beautiful face. My belief is that you're a dukes daughter in disguise, or that some wicked nurse stole yo away from your home and substituted her own brat instead of you. The girl blushed and smiled at her young lovers fancy, but was very pleased at It all the same, and mingled her lamentations freely with his over their coming separation, although he could never induce her to join in his abuse of her guardian. Ruthvens plans on behalf of his nephew throve, Jiowever, without an obstacle, and, some few weeks after his return from Paris, he had first the pleasure of witnessing a tearful and passionate farewell between Hamilton and Margaret, and secondly, the satisfaction of conveying the lad to Dover and shipping him off to Calais. , , As the boat steamed off from the pier, and Ruthven acknowledged the last wave of his nephews hand, he felt a glow steal over him in the conviction that It was the finest days work h had done for a long time. And then he returned to the little house in Kensington and Margaret OReilly. FARM TTIAJTKSGIVING CHEER, Kxtraord.iony. over tliera with that very fat Yes.

There is trouble among the Penobscot Indians at Indian island, Oldtown, twelve miles from Bangor, the home of the largest and most important Indian tribe in Maine, over an order of the Maine Central railroad, just issued, that they must pay full fare when traveling on that road. For sixty years the Indians have been allowed to pay the same fare as children, the custom having its origin here. When the Bangor & Vesie, the first railroad in Maine, was built, the road carried manv Indians up river and Gen. Samuel V&sie of this city, then the wealthiest man in Maine, who was president of the road, allowed the Indians to ride at childrens rates and for the sixty years since the custom has continued. The Indians declare that if the Bangor & Aroostook railroad follows the example of the Maine Central they will bring suits for heavy damages against the company. They claim that the road, formerly the Bangor & Piscataquis, was allowed to cross Orson and Black islands without paying damages, provided Indians were allowed to ride for half fare forever.

(TO BB CONTINUED.) Rockefeller, at their residences on the Hudson, are rivals in raising palms, says the New York Herald. Miss Gould's palm range is probably th$ finest in America, and she is in the lead in the palm race for honors. Miss Goulds palm rockery contains many rare specimens from the southern zone, among which are noted the sago palm, draceanas, crotons, marantas, screw pines, onychiums, plteris,- and many other fronded varieties. In her main conservatory Kalmia latifolla, the calico bush, the amaryllis and harrlsii lily form the rare varieties of flowering plants. Here also are forced the lady slipper, orchids, the othaeite oranges, the arahearia excelsa and the nephra-lips- is davalleoides furcans. The othaeite are charming small orange trees, and are either in flower or fruit constantly. The oranges are small, but finely fruited. Carnations are Mis3 Goulds favorite flowers. She has large beds of the Helen Kellar, the finest fancy variety of carnations. She also has the Lizzie McGowan, Buttercup and Portia. The American Beauty rose is also highly cultivated in the Gould conservatories. Although Miss Gould may excel Mr, Rockefeller in the vast variety of plants and ferns; she cannot furnish at a moments notice fresh lettuces, toradishes, cucumbers, water-cresse- s, matoes and peaches, and, in fact, all kinds of garden produce. Mr. Rockefeller has recently had some fern pans filled with creeping lycopodium, and in the center of each pan a small palm of a rare variety is now growing quite rapidly. When, these have - reached theiirgrowth there is prospect that they wIH, outclass the magnificent palms of at that very thin man one. y, ' , Florence (taking a cup of tea from Edith) Thanksgiving must seem a port of hollow mockery to you, Edith, with so many of your family 111.
