Jfor a time Mary waa undecided whether
to return or not, for much ai ahe dealred

delicate about receiving It from A ttron

thoughts and feellnga were confided, id

If It cimt neir her door. But for certain
reasona Mr. Stuart did not think proper
to call, tnd whilt Mary wat confidently
expecting him he wit several mliea on
hie way home.
Id day or two Mary returned to Chlc
opee, but did not, like Ella, lay her books
aide ind oooalder her education finished.
Two or three hours each morning were
devoted to ttudy, or reading of eomt
kind. For teveral weeka nothing wat
allowed to Interfere with thie arrange
ment, but at the tnd of that time tht
quiet of Mra, Maaon't boose waa dis
turbed by tht unexpected arrival of Aunt
Martha and Ida, who came up to Chlco
pee for the purpose of luducing Mra. Ma
son ind Miry to spend tbe coming winter
In Boston. At first Mra. Mason hesitat
ed, but evtry objection which either the
or Miry raised was so easily put aslda
that tht finally contented, saying tht
would be ready to go about the middle of
November. '
CHAl'fKiTXV.
"Come thlt wty, Miry. I'll ahow you
your chamber. It't right here next to
mine," said Ida Selden, at on the evening
of her friend' arrival she led her up to
a handsomely . furnished ipirtment,
which for many week bad borne the title
Of "Mary'a room."
"Oh, bow pleasant!" waa Mary'a excla
mation, at aht aurveytd the room in
which everything wte arranged with euch
perfect taate.
Miry wit too happy to speak, and,
dropping into tht easy-chair, the burat
Into teara. In a moment Ida, too, wat
aeated In the aame chair, with her arm
around Mary't neck. Then, as her own
eye chanced to fall upon some vatea, the
brought one of them to Mary, laying,
"See, these are for yon a present from
one who bade me present them with hit
compllinenta to the tittle girl who nursed
him on board the Windermere, and who
cried because be called her ngly!"
Mary't heart wat almoat audibla In Itt
beating, and her check a took on tha hue
of the cuablont on which tbe reclined. He
turning the vita to tbe mantelpiece, Ida
came back to her aide, and, bending cloae
to her face, whispered: "Cousin lieorge
told me of you years ago, when be first
came here, bat I forgot all about it, and
when we were at Mount Holyoke I never
auspected that yon were the little girl he
need to talk so much about. But a few
days before he went away he reminded
ma of It again, and then I understood why
ht waa to much Interested in you. I
wonder yon never told me yon knew him,
for, of course, you llkt him. You can't
help It."
Mary only heard a part of what Ida
aald. "Just before be went away." Waa
he gone, and ahould ahe not aee hint af
ter all? A clond gathered upon her brow,
and Ida. readily divining Its rauae, re
plied, "Yee, O corset It gone. Either he or
father must go to New Orleans, tnd so
George, of course, went. Isn't It too
bad? I cried and fretted, but he only
palled my ears, and said ht thould think
I'd be glad, for be knew wt wouldn't
want a six-footer domineering over us, and
following us everywhere, tt he would
inrety do were he at home." -
Mary felt more disappointed than she
wit willing to icknowledge. tnd for a
moment aht half-wished herself back in
Chlcopee, but toon recovering her cum
nlmlty, tht ventured to ink how long
George wat to be gone.
"Until April, I believe," aald Ida; "but
nywty yon art to ttay until ba com.s,
for Aunt Martha promised to keep yon.
I don't know exactly whit George said to
her about you, but they talked together
more thin two hours, and aht says you
are to tike music lesaona ind drawing
lessons, and all that ueorge I very fond
of music."
The next morning between 10 and 11
the doorbell rang, and in a moment Jen
ny Lincoln, whose father' house wit
Just opposite, came tripping into bo par
lor. She hid lost In a measure tbut 10
tundity of person to offensive to her
mother, ind It teemed to Mary that there
waa a thoughtful expression on her face
never teen there before, but in all other
respects ahe waa tbe aame affectionate,
merry-hearted Jenny.
"I just thlt minute heard you were
here, tnd Came over Just a I was," aald
he. After liking Mary if she wasn't
torry George hid gone, and If the ex
pected to find Mr. Stuart, ahe aald, "I
tuppose you know Klla la here, and
breaking everybody'a heart, of course.
She went to a concert with na last even
ing, and looked perfectly beautiful, Hen
ry says aha 1 tht handsomest girl he
ever aaw, and I do hope she'll make
something of him, but I'm tfraid be hi
only trifling with her."
If there waa person tn the world
whom Mary thoroughly detested It waa
Henry Lincoln, and her eyea parkled
and flashed to Indignantly that Ida no
ticed It, and secretly thought Jhnt Henry
Lincoln would for once find hla match.
After 1 time Mary turned to Jenny, lay
ing, "Yon haven't told me a word about
about William Bender. Is he well ?" ,
Jenny blushed deeply, and, hastily re
plying that he waa the laat time ahe aaw
him, atarted up, whispering In Mary'a
ear, "Oh, I've got ao much to tell you
but I mut go now."
Ida accompanied her to the door, and
asked wby Boae, too, did not call. In
her usual frank, open way Jenny answer
ed, "You know why. Bote is so queer."
Ida understood her, ind replied, "Very
well; but tell her that If the doean't aee
fit to notice my visitors I certainly ah a 11
not be polite to her."
Thla message had the dealred effect, for
Rose, who was dally expecting a Miaa
King from Philadelphia, felt that nothing
would mortify her more than to be neg
lected by Ida, who waa rather leader
ST. HELENS, OREGON, FRIDAY,
among the young fashionable. Accord.
Ingly, after a long consultation with her
mother, ibe concluded It beat to call up
on Mary. In tha course of tht afternoon,
chancing to be near the front window,
the saw Mr. Helden'i carriage driv
way from hia door with Ida and her
visitor.
"Now I my time," thought ahe; and
without a word to ber mother or Jenny
abe threw on her bonnet and thawl, tnd
in ber thin French slip pert stepped
cross the ttreet and rang Mr. Belilen'
doorbell. Of course tha wat "ao disap
pointed not to find tbe young ladle at
home," and, leaving ber card for tbem,
tripped back highly pleased with her own
clevernesa.
Meantime Ida and Mary were enjoying
their ridt about the city, until, coming
suddenly upon an organ grinder and
monkey, tbe spirited horse became
frightened and ran, upsetting tha car
riage ind dragging It tome distance. For
tunately Ma was only bruised, but Miry
received a severe cut upon her head,
which, with the fright, caused her to
faint. A young man who wi passing
down the street, and saw the accident,
immediately cam to the rescue; and
when Mary awoke to consclousnesa Billy
Bender waa supporting ber and gently
pushing back ' from her face the thick
braids of ber long hair.
"Who is ahe? Who I she?" aaked the
eager voicea of the group around; but
no one tntwered until young gentle
man, issuing from one of tht fasbioua
bla saloons, came blustering up, demand
ing "what tht row was."
Upon teeing Ida, hia manner changed
Instantly, and he ordered tha crowd to
"stand back," at tbe aamt time forcing
hit way forward nntil ht caught a tight
of Mary't face.
"Wbew! Bill," (aid he, "your old
flame, tht Dancer. Isn't It?"
It wat fortunate for Henry Lincoln
that Billy Bender't armt were both In
use, otherwise he might have measured
his length upon the sidewalk. A it waa,
Billy frowned angrily upon him, and In a
fierce whisper bade him beware how he
used Mi Howard' name. By thi time
the horse were caught another carriage
procured, and alary, etill aupported by
Billy Bender, was carefully lifted into tt
and borne back to Mr. Selden a house.
Many of Ida'a friend, hearing of the
accident flocked in to ee and to Inquire
after the young lady who waa injured.
Among the first who called wa lAttAe
Upton from Chlcopee. On her way home
ahe stopped at Mrs. Campbell's, where
she wis Immediately beset by Ella, to
know "who the beautiful young lady was
that Henry Lincoln had so heroically
aved from a violent death dragging bar
out from under the horses' heels!"
Utile looked at her a moment In tar
prise, and then replied, "Why, Miss
Campbell, is it possible you don't know
It wa your own istcr?"
It waa Henry Lincoln himself who bad
given Klla her information, without, how
ever, telling the lady name; and now,
when abe learned that 'twas Mary, ahe
waa too much urprised to answer, and
Linio continued: "I think yon art labor
ing under a mistake. It wa not Mr.
Lincoln who saved your sister's life, but
a young taw student whom you perhaps
have aeea walking with George More
land." Ella replied that she never taw George
Morelnnd, he left Boston before the
came; and then aa the did not teem at
all anxious to know whether Mary was
much Injured or not, Lizxie soon took ber
leave. Long after she waa gone Ella sat
alone In the parlor, wondering why Hen
ry should tell her such a falsehood, and
It be really thought Mary beautiful. Poor,
simple Ella I She waa fast learning to
live on Henry Lincoln' smile, to believe
each word that he aaid; to watch nerv
ously for his coming, and to weep If he
stayed awiy. ,

MAKING GIRLS HAPPY ON FARMS
Mrs. Meredith Telia About the School
for Farm ra' W'lvea tn Minnesota.
What the West Is doing in the way
of training girl to live happy Uvea on
farm wa very ably shown at Hunt
ington hall, Boston, recently by Mra.
Virginia C. Meredith, preceptress of the
school of agriculture of Minnesota uni
versity. :. V '.!
Mrs. Meredith has herself conducted
A successful stock farm for many years,
and she believes thoroughly in the
farm life for young people.
"The farm borne," ghe said, "Is to
my mind the Ideal home, and. I am
glad to say the thought In our school
Is always to educate tbe girl for the
life ihe will have to live.
"At first we had only boys In the
school, but when these, noticing that
their sisters and sweethearts needed
to learn Just what they were learn
ing, begged us to take girls, too, We
did so, and now for four years we
have been training farmers' daugh
ters to make happy 'arm homes.
"Our girls study side by side with
the boys the different breeds of live
stock and the various developments
of plant life. A farmer's wife needs
to know bow to tell a shorthorn from a
longhorn, and what season Is best for
planting corn.
"We have been heating In the past
much about the man's desire to get
away from the farm. Tbe reason for
bis restlessness lies In the dissatisfac
tion of his women folk with farm life.
They needed to be taught that It was
Interesting to make a fnrm home.
"We give our girls special work
adapted to women In the home, such
as cookery, which extends through tbe
tbree years, dairy chemistry, and plant
life. Butter-mnklng Is not drudgery
to the girl who understands the why
of It, and sewing Is rapidly ceasing to
become a lost art now that girls see
that patterns are comprehensible
things and not Chinese puzzles.
"Tbe girl Is taught, too, about tex
tiles, a most Interesting subject from
the farmer's standpoint; and she at
tends lectures on household Art In
which suitability Is shown to be the
desideratum of a purchase of furniture.
'Tbe application made in our school
of mechanical drawing that of design
ing model farmhouses will: have a
great Influence on the coming farm
home of Minnesota. When the present
generation build houses they will be
convenient ones." .

TIEN T8IN CROWDED.
City Full of Soldiers and Officers Returning
. .. Home. -
Tien Tsin, July 1 The city of
Tien Tsin is now more crowded than
ever. Officers of all nations are here
en route for their home, and the
hotels are placing cots in every avail
able place. Apartments have been
prepared at the University of Tien
Tain for Prince Chuan and his suite
of 40, who will remain there for three
days before leaving for Germany to
make formal apology for the murder
of Baron von Ketteler.
- Mr. Denby, who, when the foreign
troops arrived, was appointed by the
Chinese Merchants' Company to pro
tect its property, says the company,
in ita claim against tbe United States
government, did not use the word
"loot" against the marines, but mere
ly held them responsible. The
greater part of the company's proper
ty consisted of rice, which was after
wards distributed under orders from
the British and American generals to
assist those in need. Mr, Denby
thinks the company's cliam should
have been added to the indemnity as
legitimate expenditure. Other mer
chants say the company never bad
J00,0O0 taels' worth of property here.
It is pointed ' out that the company
stored three boxes of valuables with
the chartered bank before the trouble
began and did not withdraw these
until October, and that, consequently,
it is quite improbable any jewels
were left to be looted. Moreover, the
place was thoroughly gone through
by local looters before the allied forces
arrived. It would be legally impossi
ble to hold any portion of the reliev
ing force responsible for anything but
the rice and .coal, which were sed as
a military necessity, to feed Chinese
coolies who were forced to labor and
also those who were without means of
livelihood.
TUNNEL CAVED N.
Narrow Escapt of Passenger in aa Express
Trait,
Baltimore, July 2. The roof of the
Union Railroad tunnel in the eastern
section of the city, nsed and con
trolled by the Pennsylvania Railroad,
caved in shortly before 2 o'clock this
morning. . It is supposed that a de
fect in tbe arch of the tunnel caused
tbe accident.
A narrow escape from death or ser
ious injury was experienced by the
passengers and crew of an express
train which was caught by tbe falling
debris in the tunnel. . ; As far as can
be learned, the avalanche of earth
and rocks caught the rear express
car, which was immediately in front
of tbe passenger cars. : The train was
not running rapidly and the jar was
not severe. The engineer quickly
.brought his train to a full stop and
word was sent from a signal tower to
the Union station. A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and the
thinly filled passenger coaches were
drawn back to Union station without
the occupants being aware of the dan
ger through which they had passed.

sel is anchored in the stream with the
yellow flag flying. Communication
with, her is forbidden.
