Representative Henry, o f Texas, at a luncheon in Washington, D. C., in­ veighed eloquently and w ittily against the American heiress who marries the foreign nobleman for his title. “ But she gets the small end o f i t ,” said Representative Henry, grim ly. " H e r e ’s an example: “ There was a Texas girl with 20 millions who married an earl— w e ’ ll call him Lord Laclaods. W ell, this earl was notorious for speeding his motor cars. So they changed the law to (it his case. A fterw ard a man said to h im : “ W ell, Lhclands, what are you go­ ing to do, now that in all speeding offenses the owner o f the car and not the chauffeur is to be arrested?” “ D o?” said Lord Laclands, “ why I ’ m going to put every motor I own in my w ife ’ s name.’ ’— Washington Star. «.

A bitter storm of opposition had greeted the news of Katrinas engagement, all the harder for her to bear because It vented It­ self In unjust invectives against her lover. Her mother might have yield­ ed, but Mr March was Inexorable* and when one day the latter was found lying In the road with a bullet through his heart, for want of any tangible evidence, the Anger of sus­ picion pointed to Dr. Clinton. There was nothing definite enough to lead to his arrest, but bis life was rendered miserable, and. after using every pos­ sible means of tracing the perpetrator of the deed without avail, he went west, bidding his sweetheart wait un­ til he could return to bestow upon her a name freed from the blot of suspic­ ion. “ Truth must triumph, my dar­ ling,” he said as they parted: ” lt may take years, but we will try to be pa­ tient.” And so, filling the time by carry­ ing love and sunshine Into many dark­ ened lives, using the sorrows of oth­ ers as a bulwark against her own, lest It overwhelm her, Miss Katrina bad waited for 15 years, while the sil­ ver crept In among her brown hairs, and In her deep eyes there grew the expression of one who watches for a ■hip that never comes. “ Miss Katrina! Miss Katrina! Where are you?” The door was flung open, and, with an effort to throw the spell of the old days. Miss Katrina turned to the pager group. “ It was so warm In the house,” she said, “ and 1 thought you wouldn’t miss me.” “ Oh, Miss K atrin a!” chorused the girls reproachfully, as they gathered round her. “ It’a nearly 12 o’clock,” said Myrtle North, “ the time when all aorta of things happen. Now, Miss Katrina, Elsie Is to take this candle and go with you while you hold a mirror over the well and see your lover’s face In It” In spite of her protests, Miss Ka trlna was hurried from the bouse, mir­ ror In hand, and just as the clock struck the hour, she and Elsie reached the old well, which yawned grimly In the flickering candle ligh t "Now , bold the glaaa up and look,” whispered Elsie Miss Katrina raising the mirror obe­ diently, but the next moment It slipped from her hands and was shat tered on the stone curb of the welL "Oh, It’s broken." Elsie said help­ lessly. "ard the wind Is going to blow my candle out; I guess we’d better go back to the bouse ” Miss Katrina followed without a word, and when she reentered the house, all were startled by her un­ usual pallor. “ Did you value the mirror very highly, MI sr Kntrlna?" one of the girls asked, after Klslo told what hud happened. ” Oh, no.” she replied, trying to smile, “ but but It’s seven years of hud luck, you know." "Miss Kntrlmt Is the last person l should ever think of us superstitious.’* Myrtle said, as they went home a short time later, "but I suppose we each have our pet superstition, and that Is hers.” Meantime, Mlsa Kutrlna sat In her own room, thinking, not of the poasl- ble had luck to which she referred, but of (he (ace which had flushed out of the darkness and looked at her from the mirror a second before it hud fallen to the ground ” 1 am gelling old.” she said to her­ self. “old mut fanciful.” Yet the face stood out clearly In her memory (he face of Maurice Clinton, stumped with the Impress of time and with hair ns plentifully sprinkled with silver ns her own. “ Just as he might look now.” she murmured, "but, of course. It couldn’t, couldn t he " When the first light of the late No­ vember duwn stole Into the room Miss Katrina, weary of futile attempts to sleep, was up and dressed. As she took n spray of cosmos from a vase on the bureau nnd fnstened It In her hulr the whistled melody of “ Juanita” float­ ed up from beneath the window. She knew the signal well and. without pausing to wonder or question, ran down the stairs nnd threw open tho door to find herstdf face to face with Maurice Clinton. For one breathless moment they looked deep, deep Into each others eyes. You have waited for me. my ’Trtnn.” he snld at length, taking her hand and drawing her Into the parlor. "And you have come," she snld. “ Oh. I knew you would " "Fate dropped Into my hands the In­ formation which made It possible for me to come to you," he said, In u low tone: "read this, Trln a." He handed her n document drnwn up In legal form nnd signed by (wo witnesses, the dying testimony of one John Denham, the purport of which was that on a certain day, while en­ gaged In a hunting expedition. John Denham hnd. at a spot accurately de­ scribed, shot and killed a man who chanced to be pnsslng and of whose name the testator was Ignorant, lien- ham was to start for Europe the fol­ lowing day, on a commission of great Importance, nnd. knowing himself to be wholly Innocent of crime, did not feel bound to Incur the delay which a statement of facts would necessitate, and which would risk the high place In the business world just within his grasp. When, after almost fifteen years, falling health compelled bis re- tlrment from active life, the unhappy Incident constantly recurred to his mind, tormenting him with the thought that some Innocent person might be suffering for his carelessness snd sub­ sequent selfishness. As his attending physician Dr Clinton summoned the lawyer at Denham's request, little dreaming that the matter which weighed so heavily on the sick man’s conscience In sny way concerned him­ self When Denham died a few days later Dr Clinton secured the paper from the lawyer and started at once for the place which still held bis heart. "I am so glad we know Just how it was," Katrina said, with tears In her eyes. “ And now you will keep your prom­ ise," he said, taking her In his arms The years of trouble seemed to slip far Into the background, as these two renewed the vows made so long ago. “ I came too late to ace you last night,” he said, ’but 1 could not rest, so I wandered down the old orchard path and came out by the well just In time to see you there. What were you doing?” “ Trying to see my lover’s fare tn the mirror,” she whispered, “ and I did " He bent and kissed her tenderly, while outside the late chrysanthe­ mums nodded to each other and the pumpkin Jack-o-lanterns by the door grinned knowingly In the warm au­ tumn sunshine.

W illow growing gives an uncom­ monly high margin of profit A large demand for willow Is now supplied by Import, and as American grown roda are of good quality when pro(ier care la taken of their culture, there Is no reason why the further development of the Industry should not be possible. | If more American farmers can be con­ vinced of Its practicability. Of late years willow furniture has sprung Into fashion, nnd today no minor Industry Is more prosperous than that devoted to Its Bupply. The ...

This Is now almost entirely received from France at a price which will give the entire trade to ths American If be can equal the quality. Experience has proved that no stock Is equal to a willow when dur­ able baskets are demanded. The high-class basket has made a place for Itself In the market even under present circumstances, nnd the entire decline In the trade has been In the low priced basket, which competes with the foreign willow product or the American made wooden basket. more of the biggest, best, and most suitable Individuals of the western grade mures, nud breeds them to one or oth«'r of the groat Imported stal­ lions of the Clydesdale, Mnlre.

Look for Instance at the geldings that go lo ntske the great six horse tennis of tho country, the horses that constitute tho teams of the grent packers. Tbeso animals fetch great prices. Tho heav­ ier. tho stronger, the better boned, nnd more active they are, tho better they are for such work, and the more money will they fetch In tho market. Borers Injure Trees. W hile the trees are not always kill­ ed when Infested by the borers, their vitality Is lowered, so that they be­ come liable to some other attack, and futherntore they do- not produce ths amount of fruit which might otherwise be expected. To put a low priced basket on tho market with raw willow at Ita present price the wages must be cut lower limn the normal standard In America. For this reason the trade Is almost entirely In tho hands of Immigrant basket makers, who know no other trade and who are seldom or never reinforced by native workmen. Tho remedy lies In a reduction In tho cost of tho raw material. The cheaper the willow (when good In quality) tho belter the wuges which can be paid to produce a low priced basket, and a low priced basket of good quality will And an nlmost un­ limited m arket On this point the en­ tire trade agrees Great cam should be taken In the selection of the willow bed Illch, permanently moist sandy loam gives best returns, though ordinary moist, sandy land often yields profitable crops of willow. Boor soils produce paying crops where there Is a market for short rods. Avoid land on which water Is stagnant during the summer. If by drainage the water level on land can be lowered at least six feet below the surface, the situation may bo consid­ ered appropriate. Do not plant willows In localities where early frosts occur. The tender shoot» are easily Injured by the cold. Plow 10 or 12 Inches deep In the fall, prior to planting the following spring. This turns the top layer of the soil so deep that wood seeds can­ not spring up. Returns depend very largely upon (he method of culture, but more upon the variety of willow planted, because the shoots of even the best varieties and In the most sultnhlo soli grow brittle after the »tools become old.
