"Tardlf," I aald, when he had con cluded the recital, "I did not know what a good fellow yon were, though I ought to have learned It by tbla time." "No," be anawered, "It la not In me; It'a tomothlng in hor. You feel aoine thing of it youraolf, doctor, or how could you etay In a poor little house like thin, thinking of nothing but her, and not car ing about the weather keeping you away from home? There waa a curloue thing ahe had not any luggage with hor, not box nor a bag of any kind. She never fancied that I knew, for that would have troubled her. It Is my belief that aha haa run away." "But who can ahe have run away from, Tardlf ?" I aaked. . "Heaven knows," be anawered, "but the girl baa suffered; you can see that by hor face. Whoever or whatever ahe haa run away from, her cheeks are white from It, and her heart sorrowful. I know nothing of her accret; but tbla I do know: she is as good, and true, and weet a little soul as my poor little wife was. If ahe ahould die, It will be a great grief of heart to mo. If I could offer my life to God In plnce of hers, I'd do It Willingly."-. ..' "No, ahe will not die. Look there, Tar dlfl" I aald, pointing to the door all) of the Inner room. A white card had been slipped under tho door noiselessly a sig nal agreed upon between mother Renouf and me, to Inform me that my patient had at last fallen Into a profound slum ber, which seemed likely to continue some hours. The morning waa more than half gone before mother Uenouf opened the door and came out to ua, her old face looking more haggard than ever, but her little eyea twinkling with satisfaction. ; "All goes well,"' she said. "Your lit' tie mam'selle does not think of dying yet." . r , . .; I did not stay to watch how Tardlf re ceived this news, for I was Impatient myself to see how she waa going on. Thank heaven, the fever was gone, the delirium at nn end. The dark gray eyes, opening languidly as my fingers touched ber wrist, were calm and intelligent. She was aa weak aa a kitten, but that did not trouble me much. I was aure her natural health was good, and she would Strctton soon recover br lt strength.

I called him and ha came in barefoot, his broad, burly frame seeming to fill up all the little room. Mbe could not raise ber head, but her face waa turned to wards us, and sbe held out her small wasted band to hint, smiling faintly. He fell on his knee before he took It Into his greet, horny palm, and looked down up on It as he held It very carefully with tears atandlng in bla eyes. "Why, It Is Ilk an egg shell," he asld. "God bless you, mam'telle, God bless yon for getting well again V Hbe laughed at bis worde a feeble though merry laugh, like a child'a-and she aeemed delighted with the alght of bia hearty face, glowing aa It waa with happiness. It waa a atrange chance that bad thrown these two together. I could not allow Tardlf to remain long: but after that sbe kept devising little mes sages to send to him through me when ever I waa about to leave bur.

My mother waa lying on the sofa In the breakfast room, with the Venetian blinds down to darken the morning aunshlne. Her eyes were closed, though ahe held iu her bunds the prayer book, from which sho had been reading aa usual tbe Psalma for the day. Whilst I waa looking at her, though I made no sort of sound or moveiucut, ahe seemed to foul that 1 wua there; and after looking up she started from her sofa, and flung her arms about mo, pi-easing closer and closer. "Oh, Martin, my boy; my darling!" she sobbed, "thank heaven you are come buck safe I Oh, I havo been very rebel lious, very unbelieving. I ought to have known thut you would be safe. Oh, am thankful!" "So am 1, mother," I aald, kissing her. "You have come back like a barba rian," ahe auld, "rougher than Tardif hlmaulf. How have you managed, my boy? You must tell me all about it." "Aa aoou as I have had my breakfast, mother, I must put up a few things lu a hamper to go back by the Sark cutter," I anawered. "What aort of things?" ahe asked. "Tell me, and I will be getting them ready tor you. .-, , "Well, there will be some medicines, of course," I said; "you cannot help me in that. But you can And things suitable for a delicate appetlto; Jelly, you know, and jams, and marmalade; anything nice that comes to hand. And a few amusing books." , , "Books 1" echoed my mother. ' I recollected at onco that tho books she might select, as being suited to a Sark peasant, would hardly prove interesting to my patient. I could not do better than go down to Barbet'e circulating li brary aud look out some good works there. "Well, no," I aald; "neve,r mind the books. If you will look out the other things, those can wait." ... "WhOdre thoy for?" asked my mother "For my patient," I replied. ' "What aort of a patient, Martin?" ahe inquired again. "Her name la Ollivier," I said. "A common name. Our postman's name la Olllvlcr." "Oh, yes," she answered; "I know sev eral families of Olliviers. I dare aay I should know this person If you could tell me her Chrlstlun nnino. Is it Jane, or Martha, or Rachel?" "I don't know," I aald; "I did not ask." Tho packing of that hamper interested me wonderfully; and my mother, rather amazed.at my taking tho superintendence of it In person, stood by me lu her store closet, lotting me help myself liberally. There was a good apace left after I had taken .sufficient, to, supply Miss Olllvlcr with good things for some weeks to come. If my mother had not been by I ahould have filled It up with books. "Give me a loaf or two of white bread," I said; "the bread at Tardlf 'a is coarso and hard, as I know after eating it for a week." "Whatever are you doing here, Mar tin?" exclaimed Julia's unwelcome voice behind me. "He haa been living oa Tardlfa eearse fare for a week," answered my mother; "so now he haa compaasion enough for bla Bark patient to pack up some d sin ties for her. If you could only give him one or two of your bad headaches be would hava more sympathy for you. "Have you bad one of your headaches. Julia?" I Inquired. "The worat I ever had," aha anawered "It was partly your going off In that raeh way, and the storm that came on after, and tha fright we were In. Yon must uot think of going again, Martin, aball take care you don't go after we are married Julia bad been ttaed to apeak oat at calmly about our marriage aa if it waa no mora than going to a picnic. It grat ed upon me just then; though It bad been much the aame with myself. There was no delightful agitation abont the future tt.st Uy before us. We were going to "t up housekeeping by ourselves, and ii.t was sil. There was no mystery in it; no problem to be eolved; no discovery to be made on either aide. There would be no Blue Beard'a chamber In our dwell ing. We bad grown up together; now we had agreed to grow old together. That was the sum total of marriage to Julia and me. I finished packing the hamper, and sent Pellet with It to the Bark office, bar ing addreased It to Tardlf, who bad en gaged to be down at the Creux Harbor to receive It when the cutter returned I was In haste to secure parcel of books before the cutter should start home again, with Ita courageous little knot of market people. I ran down to Barbet i. I looked through the library shelves until I hit upon two novels. Besides these, I chose a book for Sunday reading. Barbet brought half a abeet of an old Tlmea to form the firat cover of my par cel. The shop waa crowded with market people, and aa he waa buay I undertook to pack them myaelf. I was abont to fold the newspaper round them, when my eye was caught by an advertisement at the top of one of the columna. "Strayed from her home in London, on the 20th Inat., a young lady with bright brown balr, grey eyea, and delicate features; age twenty-one. She la believed to have joea alone.

There waa not the slightest doubt in my mind that It had a direct reference to my pretty pa tient in Sark. But I had no time for deliberation then, and I tore off a large corner of the Timea containing that and other advertlBemeuta, and thrust it un seen Into my pocket. In the afternoon I went down with Julia and my mother to tbe new house, to aee after the unpacking of furniture. I can imagine circumstances in which nothing could be more delightful than the care with which a man prepares a home for his future wife. The very tint of the walls, and the way the light falls in through the windows, would become matters of grave Importance, but there waa not the slightest flavor of thia senti ment in our furnishing of the new house. It was really more Julia's business than mine. I went about the place as If in some dream. The house commanded a aplcndid view of the whole group of the Channel Islands, and the rocky Islets in numerable strewn about the aea. The afternoon aun waa ahlning full upon Sark, and whenever I looked through the window I could see the cliffs of the Havre Gosselin, purple In the distance, with a silver thread of foam at their foot. No wonder that my thoughts wan dered, and the words my mother and Ju lia were apeaklng went In at one ear and out at the other. Certainly I was dream ing; but which part waa the dream? "I don't believe he cares a atraw about the carpets!" exclaimed Julia, In a dis appointed tone. . ; "I do indeed, dear Julia," I said. She had set her mind upon having flow ers In her drawing-room carpet, and there thoy were, large garlands of bright colored blossoms, very gay and, aa I ven tured to remark to myself, very gaudy. '.'You like it better than you did In the pattern?" she asked anxiously. I did not like it one whit better, but I should have been a brute If I had aald so.' She was gazing at It and me with so troubled an expression, that I felt It nec essary to set her mind at ease. "It Is certainly handsomer than the pattern," I said, regarding it attentive ly; "very much handsomer." "Julia, my love," said my mother, "re member that we wish to show Martin those patterns whilst it is daylight. To morrow Is Sunday, you know." A little tinge of color crept over Julia'a tlntless face. We then drew near to the window, from which we could see Sark so clearly, and Julia drew but of her pocket a very large envelope, which waa bursting with Its contents. V They were small acrnpa of white silk and white satin. I took them mechanic ally Into my hand, and could not help ad miring their pure, lustrous, glossy beau ty. I passed my fingers over them softly. There was something In the sight of them that moved me, as if they were frag ments of the shining garments of some vision, which in times gone by, when I waa much younger, had now and then floated before my fancy. I did not know aay one lovely enough to wear raiment of glistening wbite like these, unless unless- A passing glimpse of the pure white face, and gloeny balr, and deep grey eyea of my Srk patient flashed cross me. i "They are patterns for Julia's wed ding dresa," aald mj mother, in a tow, tender tone.

In New York to the writer. "Tha material out of which the beat boxes are made cornea principally from Cuba, and la known as Spanish cedar. The recent war with Spain shortened tha aupply and Increased tbe price of tbe article to such ao extent that many box mak ers have been compelled to use a cheap er and leas desirable grade of wood for tbe purpose. "One New York firm has been experi menting with timber from the unex plored Paraguayan forests, which are said to contain tbe finest cedar wood In the world. They have, however, ex- perienced considerable difficulty in sell ing their boxes, aa cigar manufacturers and connoisseurs insist that it spoils a fine cigar to put it In any box not made of genuine Spanish cedar, Tbe Utter wood alwaya retains tbe flavor of a good cigar. Indeed, some people claim that it Improves tbe flavor. Tbe reason given Is that It grows in tbe same lo calities as the best Havana tobacco. 'Attempts made to use cedar grown In tbe United Statea for dgar boxes hare not been very successful. The Florida and South American cedar con tains a peculiar gnm that melts when tbe wood is exposed to the beat of a store or bouse, and thus the labels and sometimes the cigars In a box are spoilt Of course, the smokers of cheap er brands of cigars are less particular about the quality of the wood used for their boxes, and a veneered cedar, made from a peculiar tort of cedar that grows In Mexico, Is often substituted for the Spanish article. But It cannot be done without the cigar dealers find ing It out, and the consequence Is that even a good cigar when packed In such a box sells at a disadvantage. Wash Ington Star, A DOUBTFUL STORY.

I was sick, and good and sick at that I called up ceentraL and was Informed In one of the most pleasant voices I ever heard that they were busy on the line of my regular physician. Just aj I was go ing to cut loose ou a string of profanity she said: 'You're sick, sir. I can tell from your voice. I'll call physicians till I get one. Meantime you'd better lie down.' "Say, nothing but a dead faint would have removed me from that telephone. I listened as I heard her ring for one doctor after another, alwaya quick and pointed In ber inquiries, but patient and not a lost note In that flute-like voice. I forgot that I was sick, and I was sorry wheeu she finally found a physician whom she told to hurry to lue.

EDUCATING INDIANS. Wert Virginia School Gives Them a Thorough and Practical Training. Washington, Sept. 3. A study of the results that have been attained at the Indian school at Hampton, Va., gives a fair idea of what modern Indian edu cation will accomplish when conduct ed under the most favorable circum stances. Tbe Hampton school is not primarily an Indian school, but rather one conducted in the Interests f the colored race. Special arrangement was made by the Indian Office, through the sanction of Congress, whereby not to exceed 120 Indians are educated at this school every year, and for which Congress appropriates $20,040. A study of the report of the superintendent jst the school for the past year. Insofar as it applies to the Indian students, is rather interesting. Among other facts brought out are the following: There were at the Hampton school last year 119 Indians 54 girls and 65 boys. They were chosen from 21 dif ferent tribes, the Oaeldas of Wiscon sin and the Sioux of North and South Dakota predominating. A plan has lately been devised to encourage the Indians to keep cows and study prac tical dairying. A number have been taking special training in the care of cattle and the making of butter and cheese. There will go from the Hampton school to the Oneida reservation with in the next year a number of boys and girls who have definite plans as to what they will endeavor to accomplish. The Hampton Institute pursues similar plans with all Indians, adapting the work of the school to tbe special condi tions at their respective homes. As far as possible Hampton is made a miniature world where the young people learn to deal with problems similar to those which they will meet in the outside world. Work In the va rious trades is made more and more a part of each boy's course. The grad uating class In carpentry has taken for half a year one-half a day each week at bricklaying, painting and tin smithing; four hours at wood turning; six hours at designing small houses; and the remainder of each week is spent at the carpenter bench. The shoe department made 385 pairs of shoes; the harness department fixed 56 seta of harness;; the bricklayers have laid 450,000 brick, besides making all repairs to brickwork and plastering on the grounds. The machine shop turned out 179 gears, machined 700 trucks, and did considerable work for the electric light and power plant of Hampton City, besides building a six- horse power vertical engine TheJ nvu.nw.-.ua u...u.uC ouuii una uuui ana som izi uncus; tne tailor shop made 302 uniforms. The manual train ing department gives instruction to every student in the school. No boy graduates from Hampton without hav ing worked in wood, Iron and sheet metal, besides having taken a course In agriculture; no girl graduates with out having received instruction in woodwork, enabling her to mend and make small furniture, or without hav ing been taught to cook and serve meals and to make her own dresses and underclothing. -AH pupils receiv ed Instruction in agriculture the past year. The head of the department year, There are three courses in cooking at Hampton an elementary one in nome cooking for girls who are not likely to go very far in the school; a more advanced class, and the normal course for post-graduate students who intend to become teachers of cooking, Besides the routine of the cooking classes, the girls are taught to care for the dining room, to set a table proper ly and wait on the table. In the sewing department, the stu dents snow reai enuusiasm, and a spirit of co-operation that is striking In addition to the regular sewing courses, classes in basketry and lace- making were conducted during the past year. Tbe head of the depart' ment considers that as a training for the hand and eye, basketry is in some respects superior to sewing, because macurate or slovenly work can readily oe aetectea. The study of mathematics is one of practical character. Each student keeps a cash book, showing what the school owes him for work, what he owes the school for board, etc.. and each month an account Is rendered by me student to the treasurer's office. rrvt. . i . . . . . iiiese iwq siaiemnt3 snouid agree, and if they do not, means are taken to discover on which side the error occurs. Articles are manufactured by me students, and the cost of materials, time, etc., is kept of record. Details lor memorandums concerning trans actions on the farm. In the workshops, in the commissary and kitchen are sent in for the classes to put in proper shape. In this way the Indiana am taught to make practical application of their mathematical education. Thorough instruction in vocal music la given to the pupils. Negro Murderer Extradited. Okalahoma City, O. T., Sept. 3.
