THAT Mlaa Ko6ter was different from and more charming than all the rest of her aex might have been proved from any of the fifteen men to whom she had been engaged la ttjo yean sluce she had couie back from school, beginning with Cadet Terrls and ending with Cady. That Cat tain Koster was exactly HRe all the rest of mnnkiud, and little de served the blessing he bad In bla daughter, wns manifested by his draw ing from hla pocket a letter, and Bay ing as he gave It to her, -By the by, Kitty, this came for you yesterday while you were rtdlng with Cady, and I forgot to give It to you." . Miss Foster looked at the postmark: and at the almost femlnlue chlrogra nby, a ad knew that the letter waa from Fort Bowie, and from Glocester. bne laid It beside ber plate and finished her breakfast. Afterward she took It up to her owa room and read IL Then sbe sat with folded bands and looked. unseeing, at tbe photographs of the fifteen upon tbe wall before her. Sbe was ten white. - Tbe most astute woman will fre quently stake everything and play all ber same upon honor In man. When that chances to fall, her calculations are set at naught, and the bottom falls out of her n ilverse. And Glocester' s honor bad failed. He wrote Kitty read It again "So yon tell me you are engaged to Cady. That means little to you. But It may mean much to him. Therefore, to prevent his 'being made the fool that I have beee, I have taken the liberty of Bend ing him by this mall the letters you have written to me within the last month four la number that be may know with what manner of woman he haa to deal." Now, fourteen times before. Miss Foster bad not been In earnest But this time she was. Unfortunately, the fact that she cared greatly for Cady had not prevented her from writing to Glocester more affectionately than pru dently. In order to keep him t'other dear charmer who was away upon her string, so long as It would hold him without snapping. And the letters. sent while sbe was actually engaged io Cady, were going to fall Into bis bands. It was a desperate situation. But, for all ber blue eyes, and curls, and bewildering ways, Miss Foster was tbe woman to meet It. After a time she rose to ber feet and set her Hps. It Is a peculiarity of Cupld's-bow. Hps that they can set, upon occasions. She knew that Cady had not yet received those letters. And sbe determined that he never should. Sbe wiuld rob tbe stage. Guard-mounting was Just over, and tbe stage was not due until noon. Kitty set a big bat a-tilting upon ber curls and walked down to the postofflce. Fate, with her patlallty for tbe brave and fair, willed that tbe postmaster should have left bis desk. Miss Fos ter pushed open tbe gate and went be hind tbe ralL Tbe keys to the mail bag hung upon their hook. She put them in her pocket When the post master came back she 'was placidly marking bis clean blotter with the let ter stauiD. "If you please, Mr. Jones',' she said, "I want this letter registered." An hour later Miss Foster reigned np her horse on the top of a rise and look ed across the flat stretch of grease wood, and c ictus, and sage. Far away a tiny speck was crawling toward ber along the white road. It was tbe stage. She bad been born upon tbe plains. and sbe bad an unfailing eye for Its distances. There would be full half an hour to wart. Sbe cast about for some way of killing time, and found a deep, wide Assure in tbe parched earth. It appealed to ber daring. Khe put ber horse to a run and Jumped It time and again nntll be was winded. Then sbe rode again to tbe crest of the slope. The stage was near. Sbe dismounted. felt of the girths, and sat down, hug ging the tiny noon-day shade of a mesqulte bush, for the sun was burn ing down from a bard, blue sky. A big red ant was carrying a beetle's wing many times Urger than Itself. Kitty watched It until sbe heard tbe rattle of traces as tbe stage climbed tbe other side of the slope. Tbe she commended ber soul to beaven and brought her quirt : down upon tbe horse's black flanks. Tbe stage-driver drew op his stock, and tbe one passenger put out bis bead and shoulders and gazed at tbe slender gray figure rising alone In tbe midst of tbe prairie. "What ever. Miss Kitty" the driver stopped short. lie saw tbe horse grazing off a buncb of stumpy grass, a buudred yards away. Kitty went a step nearer and laid ber band on the wheel. She had seen tbat there was no woman In tbe stage. A woman would have rpset all ber calculations. Rue raised ber big blue eyes. The men who could have resisted them were few. Those In the stage listened now to a tale calculated to melt a heart of stone. ' "I was Just out for a little ride," said Kitty, "and my girths were loose, so I dismounted ts cinch up, and that horrid Dandy got away. If you had not come, I dou'l know whatever I should have donn." ' Miss Foster would not have been tbe woman sbe was If tears the genii of the lamp of fair femininity bad not risen at ber wIlL Tbe driver looked again at the borse and back at Miss Koster. He had known her from the d.-iy of ber bli-tb. When be was In bis first enlistment, long before be bad re turned to civil life, be bad been ber father's striker. He bad neld ber upon c burro and taught ber to ride before she could walk. Therefore, he waa justly annoyed. For tbe cleverest con- splrator Is apt to overlook a detail, and Kitty bad forgotten that the horse of a good rider, which haa broken away. should have tbe bridle over Its head. I'm sure, Miss Kitty," he said, "that It weren't me learned you to leave the reins hooked over the pommel when you dismountedand I should have thought you could have mounted alone anywheres." Kitty flushed. Of all thins, he waa proudest of her horsemanship. t "Do you think, O'Ronrke, that you couui caicn nanny ror mer I dunno," said O'Ronrke, "'taint eo easy to catch a horse when the reins la over the pomniel." But he wound the lines around the brake and jumped down. Tbe passen ger waa not to be outdone. He Jumped down, too, and together they . went trotting across the plain. Kitty had seen others try to catch Dandy. Sha climbed leisurely into the stage, aud dragged tbe mall-pouch from nnder the seat Sbe was fright ened now, and cold and tremhllug, and she threw quick glances to where O'Uourke and tbe passenger were ad vancing, and. retreating, and deploy ingnever within arm's reach of Dandy. When she had stowed away In tbe crown of ber cap a small package postmarked Bowie and addressed to Cady In a pointed, sprawling, almost femlnlue hand, she snapped the lock. She had left the keys tn tbe bag. For she knew that the postmaster had du plicates. Then sbe steadied herself with a long-drawn breath, and, gather ing ber rldlug-sklrta about ber, walked toward Dandy, holding out her hand. Dandy had been brought np to believe that this meant sugar or nutmegs. He came, with neck outstretched, and nosaled In the little gloved palm. "He Is sorry he was naughty," said Miss Foster, scratching tbe back of his ear, "and he ts going to be good, and never, never run away from hla mis tress again." And then she rewarded O'Ronrke by putting her booted foot In his great palm and springing to her seat in a manner tbat did his training credit She smiled on the passenger and thank ed him sweetly. . "I hope tbe postmaster will not be angry with me for delaying the trans portation of the government malls,' and she cantered away. Cady sat himself upon the atop step of the porch of Captain Foster's quar ters. Miss Foster did the same. Cady'a face waa stern and set Miss Foster'a was white and scared. There was a alienee. Then Cady drew from his pocket a package of letters. They were In Kitty's writing. Kitty drew from her pocket another package. They were In Cady'a hand. Cady spoke first "Here," be aald, "Is a bundle of let tersfour In number. They came to me In to-day's mail. They were accom panled by this note from Glocester. I need not assure you that I have not read them, but I gather from what be says tbat tbey are of an exceedingly personal nature, and of very recent date. Ion may gness my opinion of Glocester. But," be bent upon ber a look of withering scorn, "you cannot guess my opinion of you. He held the bundle out to her. She pushed It away. Then abe held up before bis eyes a package of much tbe same size. He reached out for them quickly. "Not yetr aald Kitty. "Here," she continued, "Is a bunole of letter six In number. Tbey came In to-day'a mall. Tbey were accompanied by a note from Miss Fowler, of Bowie. I need not as sure you tbat I have read them. Tbey are of an exceedingly personal I may say affectionate nature and of very recent date. They were written by you to Mlaa Fowler. I read, too, the note with which ahe returned tbem Here It Is. You may find It of Interest -I did." Cady took the package ahe held out to him Miss Foster took the one Cady held out to ber. And again there waa silence. Then tbe , lieutenant spoke. "To whom, may I ask, were the letters from Mlas Fowler addressed r . "To you." ; ., "And may I also ask how, In that event tbey came Into your posses sion?" Miss Foster considered. "No." Cady put his package In bis pocket and fastened bis blouse over tbem. Then be sat looking over tbe parade ground. After a time be put bis hands on bis knees and turned and faced Miss Foster. "Welir he said - Kitty's eyes bad been cast down, so that ber long lashes lay upon ber cheeks. Sbe raised tbem He looked down steadily Into their blue and twinkling depths. "Welir echoed Kitty. And then be smiled. Miss Foster gave a huge sigh of re lief. "Isn't It curious," she said, "how exactly alike Miss Fowler and Mr. Glocester write? Any one might have been deceived. Wblcb was not very revelant; but Cady did not ask wbat sbe meant Ir relevancy waa one of Miss Foster's many charms. Tbe Argonaut Ancient Bible. - There Is In possession of the Mount St. Mary's Seminary, Cincinnati, an ancient Bible tbat Is a mute refutation of tbe theory tbat tbe German people were without a Bible In tbe vernacular until Introduced by Martin Lutber, Tbe old book was published In Low German at Cologne, In the year 140.8, fifteen years before tbe father of Pro testantism waa born.

He died Aug. 27, 18C5, bequeathing the precious volume, together with a valuable library, to the seminary. Craving for Htarch.

In connection with demand in the East and in Europe for our fruit, we quote from the Orange J odd Farmer In legard to tho extent of the apple crop: This crop in the United States is smal ler than it hits been since reliable sta tistics have been collected. . Tim total supply from the 1898 crop of the Unit d States is ST.OOO.OOO bairels, as coin- pared with something over 40,000,000 barrels last year and 70,000,000 in the reoord-bteaking crop of 181)6. The fail are is widespread, reaching from the Paoifio ooust to Maine, and in none of the states does the output of fruit ap proach an average. (This ia not true, however, where the crop is not a fail ure). In the great apple states of the Central West the crop is almost a total failure, although the situation in Mich igan ia better than elesewhere, having about two-thirds of the bumper oiops of 1890. New York has only one-fifth of a full crop. The failure is attributed to the fact that during tbe blooming leason there was an exoeaaive rainfall, which washed out the pollen and pre vented proper fertilisation by in soots, while a cold wave added to the injury, and subsequent moist, humid weather waa very favorable to the development ot fungus diseases. The Ontario crop is decidedly short. The crop ot Europe is reported below the normal. . Idaho's Mineral Output. The mines of Idaho have shared the general prosperity of the state. In every section of the commonwealth new strikes were made during the year just closed, and many of tbem have de veloped into promising properties. The state's mineral production for 1808 ia f 1,669,570 more than it was List year, and is.oiw.oiu more than in 1698. J. V. Cunningham, superin tendent of the United States assay office at Boise, has made an estimate of tbe production of the state for the past year, npon which the foregoing com parison is based. The following gives the aotual pi od notion for 1897, and the estimated production for 1898: lKW. 1S97.

Co., has just been incorporated at Chelan Falls. The incorporator are Messrs. R. T. Murdock, James Marshall anj George D. Brown. It is their purpose to at once inaugurate the building of a 100 barrel flour mill at the falls, although but 60-barrel machinery will be put in at the start. When it ia remembered that at present there is but one flour mill between Wilbur and the Cascade mountains, in an area considerably more than 100 miles square, it will be seen that the present move means a large and profitable business from the start. Olle Crop. A Los Angeles Times man writes to his paper that throughout a great pait of Southern Calif fornia tbe olive crop is this year a complete failure. At Fallbrook, in San Diego county, the large acreage of olive trees on the Red Mountain ranch represents a con siderable production of the fruit, though neighboring orchards are bar ren. Beginning at Santa Paula, and extending westward through Santa Barbara county, there ia a territory em bracing several large orchards, in which the trees are laden with heavy orops. This constitutes the production of Southern California for tbe present year, Aiding aa Oregon Indastry. The Portland linseeJ oil works are desirous of establishing a flax center at Dallas, and offer the farmers the fol lowing proposition: First, we will fur nish prime, clean seed to each farmer who will sow from 20 to 30 acres oi more, this growing seed to be paid back at harvest of crop. Second, we will tuarantee the farmers $1 a bushel of 66 pounds clean and t. b. cars Portland Any further infwgiation regarding the successful handing of the flax crop will be cheerfdnlly furnished by E.

And we are likely to for get about that, and to give no thought to the Impression they may make upon other people. There we make a mis- take.

The eloctro-maguet operates a throttle valve in the main steam pipe, which la tin own open by another magnet By this arrange ment the steam Is turned off and on. From experiment It haa been shown tbat the mercury vessel need not be more than 84 inches apart on a ibip 800 (eet long. In Hie old cemetery at Cambridge.
