American Heiress and Earl.
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

She and Elsie Reached the Old Well.
to any ancestral acres. 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.

This Is now almost entirely received
from France at a price which will give
the entire trade to ths American If be

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.

If be hna been careful tn hla selections

for Instance at the geldings that go lo

country, the horses that constitute tho
teams of the grent packers. Tbeso
animals fetch great prices. Tho heav

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.
