Or else I shall feel myself bilged to resort to extreme meaaure. jYou understand. Jenklnar I "Oertaluly. sir." I "Then dou't stand there startn' like an Idiot," snarled Mr. Deane, In a sud den burst of Irritation, and Jeuklua dla appeared like a (hot. ' Just half an hour afterward Matthew Dean brushed the brown hair Jut prlnkled with gray from bla aquar yet not unkludiy brow. Tutting on hla fur lined overcoat be walked forth Into the chilly winter air fully determined, figuratively, to annihilate th default ing Widow Clarkson. ! It waa a dwarfish little red brick house which appeared orlglually to have aspired to two-storyhood lot, but cramped by clrcumstauee had settled down Into a story and a half, but the wludows shone like Rraailtan pebbles, and the doorsteps were worn by much scouring. Neither of thes clrcum atanoea, however, did Mr. Deane re mark as he pulled the glittering bras doorknob and strodo Into Mra. Clark son's neat parlor. There was a small Are very small, as If every lump of anthracite wa hoarded In the stove, and at a table with writing Implements before her sat a young lady whom Mr. Deane at one recognlxed as Mra. Clarkson' niece, Miss Olive Mellon. She waa not dis agreeable to look upon, though yoo would never have thought of clausing her among the beauties, with shining "lPfcirgRTO OKAt.WITH TOU i 1. 1 i .'i black 1 nir, Mue, long lashed cyw. and J prcttv 'mouth, biding teh I'ka a Very rice k-'rw" ' v'-'t-' we 'li y. Miss Mellen rose with" a polite "noii, which was grimly reciprocated by Mr. Deane. "I have called to see your aunt, MIsa Mellen." "I know It, sir, but as I am aware of her timid temperament, I sent ber away. I prefer to deal with you my self." Mr. Deane started the cool audacity of this damsel In gray, with scarlet ribbons In her hair, rather astonished blm. "I suppose the money' la ready?' "No, sir, it Is not." "Then, Miss Olive, pardon me, I must peak plainly, I shall send an offleer here this afternoon to put a valuation on the furniture, and " "You will do nothing of the kind, Ir." Olive's cheek bad reddened and her eyes flashed portentously. Mr. Deane turned toward the door, but ere he knew what she was doing, Olive bad walked quietly across the room, locked the door, and taken out the key then ehe resumed her seat. "What does this mean?" ejaculated the astonished "prisoner of war." "It means, sir, that you will now be obliged to reconsider the question," aald Olive. "Obliged." "Yes you will hardly Jump out of the window, and there Is no other meth od of egress unless you choose to go up the chimney. Now, then, Mr. Deane, will you tell me If you a Christian man In the nineteenth century Intend to sell a poor widow's furniture be causeshe la not able to pay your rent? Listen, sir!" Mr. Deane had opened his mouth to remonstrate, but Olive enforced her words with a very emphatic little tamp of ber foot, and be was, as It were, stricken dumb. "You are what the world calls a rich man, Mr. Deane. Yon(own rows of houses, piles of bank stock, railroad shares, bonds and mortgages who knows what? My aunt has nothing I support her by copying. Now, If this case be carried Into a court of law, my poor ailing aunt will be a sufferer you would emerge unscathed and profiting. You are not a bad man, Mr. Deane; you hove a great many noble qualities, and I like you for them." She paused an Instant and looked In tently and gravely at Mr. Deane. The color rose to his cheek It was not dis agreeable to be told by a pretty young girl that she liked him, on any terms, yet she had Indulged In pretty plain peaking. "I have heard," she went on, "of your doing kind actions when you were In the humor of It. You can do them, and you shall in this Instance. You are cross this morning, you know you are! Hush, no excuse; you are elfish and Irritable and overbearing! If I were your mother, and you a little boy, I should certainly put you in a corner until you promised to be good." Mr. Deane smiled, although he was getting angry. Olive went on with the utmost composure. "But as it is, I shall only keep you here a prisoner until you have behav ed, and given me your word not to an noy my aunt again for rent until she la able to pay you. Then, and not un til, then, will you receive your money. Do you promise? Yes or no?" "I certainly shnll agree to no finch terms," said Mr. Deane, tartly. "Very well, sir, I can wait."

Immenae Qnantltie Grown Annually Id tba United Bute. It 1 an established fact that the Uni ted States now bold the record for rap Id development of fruit Industries, such aa tbe growing of orange and lemons, peaches aud grapes. A a na tion we eat more fruit than any other, and grow considerably more than we eat. Eighty millions of dollars a yenr is the figure for strawberries alone. A hundred million would scarcely cover the value of all the grapes marketed. Teaches we raise in astonishing quanti ties, In orchard containing aa many as 300,000 trees, but our banner crop, so far aa fruit Is concerned, is apples. We have produced as mauy aa 210,000,000 barrels In a single season, and have sold as high as 8,000,0000 barrels In England alone. We carry In cold stor age every winter anywhere from 0,000, 000 to 10,000,000 barrels of the crop of the season before, in order to secure better price. Ships weigh anchor In New York, three at a time, In a single week, bearing apples to Europe. In deed, It Is one of the greatest Industries the country has ever witnessed, and promises to take rank aa the chief fruit crop of the world. Mill County, and, Indeed, all the southwestern section of Iowa, la truly a wonderful apple country, but not much more Important than one of a score of region In various part of th country which produces apples. In tbat county alone there are over 000,000 trees, averaging at the lowest ten bush els a tree per annum. One hundred and fifty thousand of those tree are In one orchard. Tbe total output la clone on to 3,000,000 barrels, or enough to sup ply the present American sale to Eng land. . New York, however, has two coun ties, much smaller than Mills, which do even better than this, and as a State It raises three times as many apple aa Iowa. The counties referred to are Niagara and Orleans, In th western tier, which together raise 7,000,000 bar rels of tbe best kind of market apple. All through thla area are orchards hold ing 20,000, 30,000, 40,000, and occasion-' ally 100,000 trees, which in blossoming make of the roadside a paradise. Watch-Chaln of Peach Stones. A Lewlston, Me., man has a curlou watch chain made of peach stone. Each of the nine stones Is carved on each side in a different device, so that there are eighteen different designs. The stones are Joined with bar of gold, the whole making a rich and novel chain. Condemned Tragedies. "What do you think Is the saddest work of Action you ever read?"
