Poor little Mrs. . Olcott had been ac
customed during the whole of her mar
ried life to "jest give -"in," and her only
chance of peace was in yielding to her
.selfishly determined husband and al
lowing him to carry his point without
opposition.
. Jennie was differently constituted.
She inherited her father's strong will,
and he had, much to his .surprise, sud
denly discovered an opposing force in
ds youngest child. ., , -
She had been away from- home for
asearly three years this pretty, brown
Paired girl with the determined face and
graceful carriage, and the father aecretly
admired and almost ,. feared . her. " A
-wealthy and childless aunt in the city
' 'aod besought Jennie to share her home,
and ' Hiram , Olcott's pretty daughter,
though clinging to the farm, with all its
dear memories of childhood and child
hood's joys, chose wisely when she
yielded to her aunt's request. It was
better, far better for her, for even after
ier Koing there were plenty of children
1 to lreep the miserly old farmer in a per
- petual grumble about money matters.
It was May and the country wore one
ilad smile and Jennie hailed with .de
light the prospect of a visit to her home,
assuming very willingly the responsi
bility of housekeeping while her two nn
married sisters attended the wedding of
a cousin in a distant town.
This morning she was cooking, and
with her sleeves rolled above her elbows
stood beside the kitchen table. In one
liand she held an earthen plate while
the clip, clip, clip of a fork sounded
aoistfy as she whipped some eggs to a
troth.
, ' Yer sisters hed to marry to suit him,"
-wailed the nervous little woman, "an
you'll hev to, too; ef you don't there be
awful fusses, so you'd jes better give
w
That morning the father had epokeu
to Jennie of a. young; farmer, whom- he
termed. a ; "likely catch." She had ex
pressed her opinion of him in bo decided
a way as to alarm Mr. Olcott for the
. -safety of his much prized authority,
Be was wont to speak of himself as a
aoarvelous .example of , the patriarch.
Mke 'etu mind,'.'. he would say. "Keep
yer household beneath yer feet: govern
'ecu well, an' they 11 git along.'
Jennie's boldness in opposing his judg
ment so stupefied him .that his anger had
not yet had time to blaze forth; but Mrs.'
Olcott knew it would come, and so after
Jter husband had left the kitchen she
pleaded with the girl to-"give in." - Jen
nie had beer very thoughtful during the
little woman's appeal, but ' nowi she was
-resolved, and it was the Olcott in her
- nature which spoke.. wouldn't marry
Jordan .Moggs though father should
tareaten to murder me."
-The . eggs were stiff now, and as she
set the plate-down on the table.. she
turned from her mother and busied her
self among the ingredients' for cake bak
ing which were before her. . Jennie was
blushing as she began. softly,.'fThere is
scone one in Poole I like very much,
snother, and. he's coming out here to"
He peedn' t mind eoinin'," said . farmer
Olcott grimly as he stepped quietly into
toe kitchen, tus lace wore.. a .cunning
leer, and bis wind reddened cheeks were
distorted by the sneering curves of his
bard lined mouth. Seating himself on
sue, of the: painted wooden chairs, he
drew the bootjack toward him and took
off his heavy shoes with a calmness and
deliberation which warned Mrs. Olcott
' that he was . thoroughly aroused. The
poor.; little nervous,' broken 'spirited
woman had learned that this particu
larly quiet and inoffensive manner of re
moving his footgear always, preceded ,a
burst of passion. . ..
Hiram Olcott set his cowhide boots
by the stove to dry, kicked the jack
.. under the table, and, turning toward
bis daughter, shouted:
"Don't .let me ketch none o yer city
fellers connn to see you. Ef they do,
TU talk to 'em; not a word .now," he
growled, shaking his. long finger menac
ingly at Jennie,' as she essayed to speak.
"Fm master in my own house, an' you'll
not talk till such time as Tm done.
You've been away an' kinder forgot how
'things is run here, but you might as well
get broke in now. ' I tell -you I won't
. hev any city fellers a follerin' you; an'
ef I ketch yer aunt Kate matin' matches
- for you m jest fetch you home from
bein'.a fine lady down there an' set you
worlnni a .' .j.
Before Jennie could speak he had gone
the world who ever did understand her
brother Hiram, and she had planned a
clever little ruse to be played on the un
suspecting farmer.
Mr.. Bryan, whom Jennie had con
fessed to her mother she cared a great
deal for, was well suited to her. He
had not yet declared his love, but it was
not unguessed by the shrewd little
maiden. To Mrs. Calding, however, he
had opened his heart, and she bade him
wait a -little. She knew how preju
diced her brother was against all ar
rangements, not conducted by himself,
and rightly concluded that he might put
serious difficulty in the way of the young
people. After satisfying herself that the
name or Jennies lover was quite un
known to her brother, she resolved to
introduce him as a young man who
would be a good match for. Jennie, if
only the girl could be wise enough to
think so. Allowing him to believe they
had never met she trusted to his un
equaled obstinacy to do the rest.
I ve wanted so much to talk with
you about Jennie," said that lady, as she
and Hiram sat in her well appointed
drawing room the night of the arrival.
"Yes, and Tin willm'. She ought to
be settled." said. the old man decidedly.
"It does not do, Hiram," began Mrs.
Calding, watching the hard . lined face
intently, "to depend on a girl's choice.
and" -..;! v
"Well, I guess it don't," he interrupted
with a. sneer. ......
"There is a young man m town who
I know admires Jennie, and if he should
meet her I think something would come
of it." Very quietly, yet with t.the ut
most caution, she made this statement.
The old man was interested.' "Rich?"
he inquired, rubbing Ins hands gently
together. , .
Yes, was the answer: then she
went on.
Of course it's so very uncertain,
Hiram , You see, Jennie might refuse
to have a word to say to him, and"
"Now, Kate, look here," interrupted
the thoroughly excited old man, as he
drew his chair nearer hers and empha
sized his words with decisive gestures
ef I like that young man I'll jest take
him out home with me, an' I'd like to
see Jennie tell him to go, if Tm livin'.'
Mrs. Calding was' delighted at her
success tnus far. - xne next day Mr.
Bryan was introduced, and became the
pld man's ideal of a son-in-law.
On the farmer's return to his home
Mr. Bryan accompanied him, having ac
cepted , ,the hearty invitation of his new
menu to "lest run out an take a look
around our part of the country."
Jennie, had been apprised of Mr. Bry
an s coming, ana of tne little deception
in which she was to play her part. She
met him as. if he were' a stranger, while
her father secretly rejoiced at the thought
of subduing his proud young daughter.
Mr. Olcott took an early opportunity
to enlighten Jennie as to her duty to
ward his new friend, and with a twinkle
in her eye she -promised to do her best to
please him in the matter., 5 y
A week passed. Jennie and Mr. Bryan
were very.' -nappy. Tne days were de
lightful ones to them, and the old farmer
rubbed ;his -bands at the success of his
scheme, and gave his consent to an early
marriage with no hesitation.
He often sneaks now of his match
making. - "There's Jennie," he will Bay.
"She d hev picked up with some empty
noddled city chap ef I . hadn't - jest took
her in hand. I brung Bryan out an' told
her that she'd got to behave to him. It's
the only way to do jest make 'em mind
an they'll git along." '
They would not deceive hinvfor any
thing the. happy .young .couple; but
when he boasts they,, think with loving
gratitude of clever Aunt Kate. Frances

After - breakfast, :. Mr. Rockefeller

Blatchford Kavanaerh writes from Del
hi, India, -to The Chicago Post about a
visit among the Hindoos as follows: I
have been to Ahmedabad. It is a small
place and almost filled with mosques and
temples. vibe mosques- belong to the
Mohammedans and the temples to the
Hindoos. , Most of the mosques are exqui
sitely carved. . In one place there is a
window of marble with a tree pierced
out of it.. The carving is wonderful.
These Hindoos are something like the
Chinese. - They will spend years of their
life in carving some little thing. It's
beautiful when -it's done, bat an Amer
ican wouldn't spend as many days on it
as they do years. - : '
' ' In one Hindoo temple they let us walk
all through with our shoes on, and when
we got through and came- outside we
found a great crowd of natives making
an uproar. : . Then we found ont what
was the matter. We had defiled the
temple by going in with our shoes on.
Then a man came up and said in En
glish that the temple would have to be
all washed .out before they could . wor
ship in it again, and we had to pay three
rupees about $1.17 in our money to
have the place washed, so we are not go
ing into any more temples with our j
shoes on. - i . . .
TUB SACRED LAKK.
We stopped at Ajmere, a small town.
for about twenty-four hours. There are
some, mosques and temples there, but
they are not so pretty as those at Ah
medabad. Ajmere is very picturesque
on a sunshiny day, but it rained almost
all the afternoon very hard. . It stopped
for about two hours and we drove out to
Pushkar lake. - This is about seven miles
from the city, through a pass. The as
cent is about 200 feet. This is the place
where the princes come ' to worship.
They each build a small palace -to stay
in while tbey are here.' ;The lake is a
sacred one; and the Hindoos believe any
one bathing in it will go to heaven. '
I wrote you about how the Hindoos
burn their dead. ' Well, I took a photo
graph with my little camera of the caste
of men who . take care of dead bodies.
It was just: after . they had burned one
up, and I got them to all stand in a row
with their white aprons on. They didn't
seem to mind it a bit. and stood up as if
they were quite used to it.
We left Ajmere about 1 o'clock in the
morning and arrived here about 5 in the
evening. ..The .sleeping cars are not the

with "his sword over bis shoulder. - He
was bowlegged, she ;knoekkneed, and
what do you think, their ages were? He
was 33 years old and 'his:. bride only 11
years! They were tied together by their
garments. They had a ceremony in the
street that was very queer. They placed
on a stone some peas and a pancake and
then bowed before it. '
Just as they got through a -dog stuck
his head through the crowd and made a
rush for it. Such a commotion you never
saw. ' Of course he . got " between the
groom's legs, and altogether broke ' up
the ceremony. 1 - He got the holy pancake,
just the same, and then-the groom didn't
seem to care for it any more. I laughed
until I ached all over.; -, il
