Dolores turned away and went out to the entry preparing to go in the rain. Then she took the pail and went ' to the shed to milk Brindle. Mrs. Al- len paused at the window to watch her. She was a grotesque figure strid--: ing through the storm with her fath-- ' ers hat on, and the boots pathetically out of place on her feet. The nurse 'shook her head as she went back dnto the room setting the dishes and preparing the bacon and eggs for the doctors beyond the closed doors. Dolores was drenched when she reached the shed, but she minded it .apparently not at all. She pushed back the shawl and drew the three- legged stool out of the corner. The streams of milk in the pail joined in .with the rain against the windows. ;It was half gloom in the shed. When the pail was full Dolores pulled down some hay from the mow overhead and Brindle buried her broad, soft nose in it with a deep breath of con. Dun-widdi- y tent. The girl carried the foaming milk to the house, and strained it into pans, the nurse watching her curiously. Then she prepared the feed for the chickens and went out to feed them. .When she returned to the house Mrs. Allen removed her wet clothing and requested her to change her gown, hers was so wet and draggled. Dolores looked at her in surprise. She was in the habit of performing these duties rain or shine, and it never harmed her; rain was but rain. It might be that she was used to it was the reason why she did not mind it. The other women of the settlement did the same, and not one of them feared a wetting; they gave no thought to it; they knew nothing better; the rain came or the sun, and the work was done; doubtless the men would have been surprised had the women complained. She moved from her companion to the fire, she said slowly, motioning toward the closed door beyond as though it were "the only thought in her mind. They have their breakfast," Mrs. Allen said. She placed the food on the table and drew up the chairs cozily. Come, dear, she said, the mothervoice, let us have our breakfast. I think your uncle will come over this morning in spite of the rain, and I dont want him to see such a pale ljttle face They will want their breakfast, for his niece. Dora is so anxious to see you she will doubtless send for iyou as Bhe cannot come herself. Judge 'Green will send a closed carriage, and iyou need not fear the rain. Dolores hands dropped in her lap A feeling of indignation possessed jher; her eyes were wide and steady; when she spoke her voice was low and grave. Mrs. Allen was somewhat dismayed, although apparently she ly tone returning to her took it lightly. Did I not say I will not leave my You believe me? she lifted them to his as he stood beside her, and his heart ached for her, knowing the truth to which she was shut out. They will not let me see my father she said, slowly, her eyes searching his face as though to read therein why this thing should be. ' He smiled reassuringly, and laid his strong hand over hers, resting upon the dresser, though a shadow was in his eyes for very pity of the tender, wondering face lifted to his. We are doing the best we can for your father, Dolores, and as soon as he wakens you shall see him. You believe me? I would not tell you an untruth, you know. And why should I? There is no reason, she said, and the lashes drooped disappointedly over the dark eyes. Do they think I could not bear to be told? I can nurse him as well as they, and I am willing. I believe you, but I must know. And I promise you, there was an intensity in his voice that caused the lashes to lift from the hidden eyes and a swift, sudden startled glance met his, I promise you, Dolores, that you shall know. You think we are cruel, but we are trying to be kindness itself, Dolores. He left the book of which he had spoken on the dresser, and her fingers closed over it as though it might give her strength in the absence of the stronger handclasp of her friend. She lifted the book and clasped her two hands around it. If Dora would not do this she would- not like her, but she believed that she would. All women cared for the men of their households when they needed care; there was no reason why she should be shut out from her fathers room. The voice of the nurse broke in on her thoughts. The tone expressed great relief. Dolores fingers instinctively tightened around the book she held. Your uncle is coming, Dolores. I knew he would come. If Dora could not come she would send for you. She told me so herself. I am thankful he is here." A closed carriage stopped at the gate; the team of powerful bays were covered in rubber blankets; their hoofs were heavy with mud; the body of the carriage was splashed, the wheels clogged. When the door was opened a gentleman alighted a short, stout gentleman wrapped in a rubber coat, with high boots and a close gray cap. He struggled a moment with the rickety gate, and then hurried up the drenched walk. Mrs. Allen tapped lightly on the bedroom door, and Charlie and Dr. Dunwiddie came out at once. They met the at the door with a few hurried words. Young Green took his coat and hat, and hung them In the entry to drip. Dolores had not changed her position; she still stood at the dresser, the book closely clasped in her hands as though a friend. When her uncle advanced toward her she eyed him 8earchingly. She was disappointed in him; there was nothing remarkable about him; he was short and stout; she did not like, short, stout men; his face was florid, his hair red. Placing his two hands on her shoulders he turned her toward the light, eyeing her keenly. And this is Joes girl," he said. She disliked him at once; her wide brown eyes met his blue ones squarely, but the eager light had died from them, they were cold and calm; he could see no farther than the surface. Her mouth, too, was straight and unTo her his tone Implied yielding. that she disappointed him; it was of no consequence to her, however, because she disliked Aim. But she had mistaken his meaning.

It was a new thing for anyone to be glad to see her, and she almost liked him. The words touched her strangely, but she made no reply, though her eyes softened somewhat. My girl sent you a message. She told me to be certain to follow instructions, too; Dora is an exacting young body. I assure you. Between you two my life will be rather hard for an old fellow. I am going in to look at Joe, if I may not speak to him; when I return you will be ready, my dear. He turned away with a pleasant laugh, and joined young Green and Dr. Dunwiddie without waiting for her BURIED LONG CENTURiES AGO. Remains of Roman Legionaries Found j j in English Field. An interesting discovery of what are supposed to be the remains of Itoman le. ionaries has been made while excaMitvating in a field off Morden-road- , cham, England.

They were apparently officers of rank, buried with some ceremony in their martial attire and with their weapons (To be continued.) WHY HE STOPPED FISHING. Indian Had Luck in Catching Salmon, But Was Compelled to Quit. Dr. David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford, Jr., university, tells a story in the Pniladelphia Saturday Post which goes to show that once a fisherman always a fisherman, no matter how much of an ichthyologist one may be besides. He says: One day in California, I had iid a remarkable run of luck and that night as we sat around the camp fire I took occasion to say that my success was due to the superior tie of flies I had used. You may flatter yourself on the slid slrirg youve brought in an old fisherman who had joined Cur party, but let me tell you, doctor, that I saw a Digger Indian catch more fish m an hour in this stream than youve landed all day with your fine flies. What bait did he use? I asked. Live grasshoppers, replied the old man, but he didnt impale them. From his head he 'would stoically pluck a hair and with it hind the struggling insect to the hook. Almost upon the instant that his bait struck the water a fish would leap for it. After landing him the Indian would calmly repeat the performance of snatching a hair from his head and affixing a fresh grasshopper to the hook. I became fascinated, continued the narrator. And after the Indian had landed in quick succession a mighty string of salmon trout he suddenly stopped. I called to him to go on with the exciting sport, but he merely smiled grimly and pointed significantly to his head. What was the matter with his head? I asked, said Jordan. He had plucked it bald, replied the old man. solemnly: He iss todt Dot iss zu bed. (dead). The widow pretended to be overcome with grief, and, leaning over the prostrate form of her husband, she wailed: Mein Oh, mein Hans iss todt! Hans iss todt! But Hans, reviving suddenly, exclaimed: Nein, neln! Ieh ben nit todt! Hans, said his wife reprovingly, lie still. Der doctor knows best. Philadelphia Press. Choosing Marriage Date.

There are some few happily disposed individuals, says the London Lancet, who can dine alone, and not eat too fast, nor too much, nor too little. With the majority it Is different. The average man puts his novel or his paper before him, and thinks that he will lengthen out the meal with due deliberation by reading a little with, and more between, the courses. He will just employ his mind enough to help, and too little to interfere with In fact, he will provide indigestion. that gentle mental accomplishment which with happier people conversation gives to a meal. This is your solitarys excellent idea. In reality he becomes engrossed in what he is reading till, suddenly finding his chop cold, he demolishes it in a few mouthfuls; or else he finds that he is hungry, and paying no attention to the book, which he flings aside, he rushes through his food as fast as possible, to plunge into his armchair and literature afterward.

These extensive flower gardens are situated on the southern slopes of the maritime range of the Alps bordering on the beautiful blue Mediterranean in the vicinity of Nice. As no rain falls here from March till September the climate is admirably adapted to the industry. For miles and miles nothing can be seen except a vista of flowers gardens. That the flower industry is an old one is proved by the fact that in the village of Grasse one firm has had a factory for the manufacture of perfumes since 17C8. Women as well as men work on the. flower farms, which are not owned by the J big manufactories, but by small ers who sell the flowers by the pound to the manufacturers. About 7,000 plants are required to each acre in the rose gardens and these yield about 50,000 pounds of roses. The gardens require a sunny slope and much irrigation. The bushes are cut down to the ground each year and the plants attain an enormous age. The flowers are picked each morning while the dew is on them, because it is then that they retain their perfume. During the blossoming season many tons of roses are taken to the factories in great baskets, where they are dumped into big copper stills which hold half a barrel of water each. Then comes the distilling process which results In rose water. The rose water itself is afterward distilled, and on top of the fluid which arises from this process float oily drops. These are very precious, for they are the essential oil of the rose which 13 known as attar or otto of roses. farm- THOUSANDS. Happening in England Hard to Account For. The inhabitants of Pwllheli, England, were awakened in the small hours the other morning by a terrible clatter of birds in the direction of the harbor and the Gimblett Point. Those who ventured out found an immense cloud of birds hovering in a helpless manner over the beach. Proceeding thither, they found thousands of all kinds of birds lying dead or dying on the ground, whilst as many dropped into the sea. This was the case for a distance of some two miles along the seashore. Some or the fields immediately adjacent were also strewn with thousands. The birds were mostly inland, including starlings, blackOne robins. birds, thrushes and theory of the extraordinary occurrence is that the birds encountered an electric current. Some even suggested that experiments of a wireless telegraphy nature may have been the cause. Tragic BAD ENOUGH TO SING IT. No Desire to Talk About Her Role.

Rockefeller, of Greenwich, Conn. On a lovely slope overlooking the sound are located these excellent quarters for the Rock Ridge beagles, for that's the breed that the secretary of the Standard Oil company admires, while there are some American fox hounds also In the kennels. The Rock Ridge pack is made up of English and American bred beagles, large sums having been paid to English owners of hunting packs, not'ably Mr. T. Johnson, of Whitchurch, ShropStud shire, a famous owner of Book beagles. What strikes the visitor most at Rockefeller farm while going over the kennels is the splendid condition in h - which they are kept. They are as clean as the day they were completed, some three or four years ago, notwithstanding that they have been constantly the home of half a hundred or more beagles of all ages. They are under the superintendence of Joseph Lewis, who has been among dogs all his life. Well heated with stoves and other appliances, the dogs lack no comfort, there being separate puppy quarters, a hospital arranged in the most approved way, while the medicine department would not disgrace the es- tablishment of a leading veterinary surgeon. Even the dirt of the kennel is destroyed by a patent furnace. All beagles of an age are exercised and hunted every week day throughout the season.

A recent consular report gives interesting immigration figures. From 1818 to 1903 eighty-fivyears the number of immigrants' was 21,265,723, or the equivalent of of the Of all this total population number the United Kingdom, which includes the heavy Irish inflow, contributed 32 per cent; Germany contri, buted 24 per cent; Italy, Russia and Poland furnished 21 per cent. But these last named countries in 1303 furnished 68 per cent of the immigration. Europe has sent us 93 per cent of our immigration, the western hemisphere 4 per cent and China and all other Asiatic countries, Oceanica and Africa, 2 per cent The heaviest immigration of Irish in one year was in 1853, when 162,649 came. The next largest from Ireland was in 1888, when 75,513 came. Last year only 35,300 Irish came. The high est figures for the English irere 82,394 in 1882. In 1854 215.009 Germans came and in 1882 250,630. From 1868 to 1873 the German immigration averaged 120,000 a year. Last year it was Its decline in the last only 40,086. ten years has been marked. The incoming Italians last year reached their highest figures being 230,622. They passed the 100,000 mark in 1900 and what numbers they may attain can only be guessed at, for the tide is running high and chiefly from southern Italy and the islands. Last year the Russian immigration amounted to 136,093, while from Austria-Hungarthere came 206,011. The immigration from the Scandinavian peninsula and the northern parts of Europe, which we have always considered the most desirable, has so fallen off as to cease to be much of a factor in the comparisons.

Every one knows that violent bodily exercise is bad just after a meal, and mental exertion is equally so. Wise people do not even argue during or just after dinner, and observation of afterdinner speakers neither endure themselves nor excite in their hearers any severe intellectual effort.

One of the musicians who spent the Bach week in Bethlehem has brought back a stock of Pennsylvania Dutch stories, the favorite of which is the following: It seems that a farmer named Hans was subject to some kind of fits which rendered him totally unconscious for hours at a time, and on several occasions convinced his good wife that she was a widow. It was pretty generally known that she was by no means averse to the widowed state, for she and the doughty Hans did not live in peace and amity. One day Hans was stricken as usual. The good wife applied the usual remedies, but this time they failed to revive the unconscious man. A doctor was eallel, and after a thorough examination he shook his head and said Jlcarilla Couple First to Adopt Method of Palefaces.
