GREEN OR MIXED 053 For Wcal or for oc; Or, A Dark Tempta! on CHAPTER II.--Cont'd) Two strong arms lifted the alight, tremb- ling Perm o..t or the tere.1uug waters up to hie throbbing breast, tightening their chap about her before he took the peri- lous leap back into the water with his, clingiug burden. "Little Gay," he whispered hoarsely, resting his white handsome face cur one brief second against tee girl's dusky cheek—•'I have come to save you—because I love you. Yon are all the world to me. If you were to die my life would be wrecked. Yee, I love you, Little Gay." He clasped the little white arms close around hie neck, commanding her to cling to him and not to let go, for he was go- ing to br6"ir,st the mad waves with her. "Will yen trust your life to me. Gay?" he asked tenderly. "Yes," she sobbed faintly, catching her breath with a shudder, her clasp tighten- ing round his neck. if we perish, we perieh together, my darling, he said solemnly, straining her to hie heart. The next instant he had plunged back into the roaring waves with his lovely, terrified burden, striking boldly and bravely out for the beacon lights that lined the shore, where a vast throng bad gathered. How the people anxiously watched the two forma that were struggling at the wild mercy of the waves and the etorm, which the fitful flashes of lightning re- vealed to their strained eyea. "Oh, God! would it be life or death with them?" was the terrified cry that rose to every lip. Mothers knelt down in the pitiless storm and prayed for them. Strong men cried aloud, weeping as they had, never wept in all their lives before. Young girls held their breath in piteous sus- pense. They dared not cheer the noble hero, or utter any cry lest it might unnerve the brave swimmer and cause him to drop his burden. Five minutes—ten—that seemed almoat an eternity to the breathless watchers— passed. Now he was near enough to catch the rope that was flung out to him. Strong hands pulled with a will, and amid rousing. cheers, Percy Granville gained the shore, and laid his lovely, dripping burden in her joyful ais.er'a arms. One instant after poor Gay had struck the water she had lost all sense of her deadly peril, falling heavily back in his arms in a deep alveoli. The sun was shining brightly in the small room the two sisters occupied, when Gay opened her dark, dazed eyes the next' day. Hazel was standing over her. with a white, seared face. "Oh, Gay, my darling, I thought yon would never oome to," sobbed Hazel, sink- ing on her knees by the white couch, and tenderly stroking the brown (surly head. "Then it wasnot ream after?" ad all Gay whispered, in a low, hushed voice. "1 really stood en • the window-ledge—with the cold, dark water rising higher aua itestter around me, and he came to my rescue— he saved me?" "Yes, kir. Granville saved you," reepond Hazel. "Oh, Gay, how grateful we X11‘.: -It be to him through We—good, wind noble Percy Granville, the true friend of the dependent working -girls." Gay's face, which she hid quickly in the white, ruffled pillow, flushed burning hot. Should she tell Hazel what he had said to her when they stood face to faee with death together, and the cold, dark water eddying around them? Should ehe tell Hazel that he had whis- pered to ber that he loved her—yes, loved the little working -girl who earned ber bread in his uncle's mill—the mill that might one day be his own? It ie bard to tell the sweet love -secrets of a girlish heart even to a sympathetic tender-hearted sinter like Hazel. Gay wanted se much to tell her, but a tender bashfulness sealed her rosy lips Handsome Percy Granville had been the hero whom the bad always worshiped from afar since first she saw him, and could it really be possible that he cared for her? * * The Passaic mills would not be fn a oondiiton to resume work until the follow- ing Monday morning. Hazel was thank- ful to have that much time to devote to nursing her sister back to Health and strength. Gay was possessed of youth and won. derful viltality, and despite .he shock and the chill, she was almoat as well as ever when the sunlight crept into their Tittle mem that afternoon. She seemed wonderfully happy. too, Hazel thought as she watched her while she busied herself about preparing their frugal supper. Hazel was jest about laying the snowy cloth. when a loud knock Upon the door startled both. it was one of the reeds eye bearing e huge bouquet. Prom Air. Granville, with hiscompll- manta, to Miss Gay," he said, banding it Os Hazel. She wondered why Gay flushed so, and why her little hands trembled. If Gay had made a confidante of her sister, whispering to ber of the now sweet dream of love that had crept to suddenly Into her girlieh heart, if she had but told her, a terrible tragedy near at hand would have been averted. "lfow kind of Mr. GranvilIe to send you earth a superb bouquet," exclaimed Hazel, admiringly; "white rosebuds and forget - me -nets; oh, aren't they fragrant" At that moment the .sound of carriage wheels was heard in the street below, wreathe to a full atop, before their humble lodgings. A proud, imperious voice was heard inquiring for tri 'two sisters; there watt a swieh .of a silken dkirt off the stair- way, followed by a. tan , en the door. 'Hazel answered "the surseschs, blushing and eourtesiing in confusion, as she aaw that their visitor was Misr; ,St. Claire, the heiress. -,a tall, handsopie blonde—who •lived In the" greet stone hottee on the hill. "I hive come to inquire abut your, sia- ter," the *aid - in a voice that had a haughty ring in it, "fay I be permitted to ccrnc In?" "Certainly,' replied Hanel, in ember- resetnent; "Goy will be pleased that you have taken such a kindly interest in her recovery ---she is teeling' very well this afternoon,. thank you: Evelyn St. Clnteo folltrwed Hazel into .he inner apartment, taking in over' retards detail of those plainly furnishpd' toms -girlish fingers had 'so teetotally decorated. Gay sat In the sunshine by , the window; she turned and started alight- ily as her visitor entered, and in that mo- ment the eyes of these two g,rls--whose Paths were to cross so cruelly,, and who were to be such bitter Mee tor love's sake —met. The cold, steel -blue eyes of the haughty heiress gazed intently into the dark, vel- i very eyes of Little C?ay, and the thought that 'clashed through her mind as she clinched her jeweled hands tighter, was: "Heaven! this girl whom Percy Granville risked his life to save, is as gloriously beautiful as a dream." And ajealous pain, swift and sharp as death itself she. through her heart. "1 am glad to find you so nearly recov- ered, Misa—Miss Esterbrook," she said coldly, taking the seat that had been placed for her, and shaking out her violet silken skirts. "You have had quite a narrow escape from a terrible fate." "Yee. kir. Granville saved my life," re- sponded Gay, her crimson lips quivering, and I shall be grateful to him as long as 1 live." Evelyn St. 'CIaire's' face darkened, then turned a shade paler. "You must not express your gratitude to Mr. Granville in that earnest way," she said quickly; "I am sure he would not like it at all. He Mete that one ought net to be praised for purely doing one's duty—I advise you not to annoy him wi;h such profuse thanks." Gay crimsoned painfully. Miss St. Claire noticed her heightened color—then her cold eyes fell on the superb bouquet Gay held in her hand. A. sudden suspicion shot through her heart. "fur. Granville sent you those?" she said interrogatively. "Yes," faltered Gay, blushing still rosier, her pretty dark eyes drooping shyly. "I requested him to do so." remarked Miss St. Claire. without a single quiver in ber voice at the audacious faleehood she was telling; "you may .;hank me for -them, Miss—Mise Eaterbrook. From that moment the white rose -buds, and golden -hearted forget-me-nots, ;hat had seemed to infold such sweet messages in their fragrant petals, lost all charm in the eyea of Little Gay. A few moments later Evelyn St. Claire took her leave. Gay watched the elegant equipage out of eight. 'She sent me those flowers, Hazel," she said, calling her. sister from the other room; "it was quite a mistake believing they were from Mr. .alar. Granville." "No doubt; she fa his sweetheart," re- turned Hazel; "I have often seen them riding together. Did you notice the big glistering diamond g g she were? More than likely it's an engagement ring. She is an heiress, and lives in the big atone house on the hill. Oh, Gay, my darling, how I would like to see you dressed like that—you would look like a little queen," she went on enthusiastically. Then she remembered that it was not right to pub longing notions fo; silks, laces and jewels in the romantic Head of Little Gay, for such luxuries were not for struggling factory girls, were they ever so lovely. The fair sunlit beauty of the day was lost upon Evelyn St. Clair as she bowled swiftly bomeward in her natty. plush - lined basket phaeton. She could see no- thing—think of nothing but the dark, dimpled, gypsyish face of lovely Little Gay. "I—I--hate her!" the cried. "Something tells me that girl will come between me and my love," she muttered hoarsely. "If she does, let her beware, for as sure as fate I—I—would kill her!" The next moment she laughed a wild, mirthless laugh that startled the birds in the green .leafy trees above her ,Bead. "Why should I, an heiress, fear a mis- erable little Ractory girl because she has a pretty face?" she cried aloud. "What madness to imagine even she could ever be a rival of mine! She would not dare aspire to the love of Percy Granville, even though be did save her life. I—I hate her! I almost wish she had died in the dark waters that night." CHAPTER M. .A. week later, life had fallen into the name old rut again in the Presale Cotton Mills. Havel and Gay were once more at their looms in the weerviug-room. Everything was progressing just as it was before the thrilling episode narrat ed In our previous chapter had transpir- ed. There was, however, a great change in Gay Esterbrook. The beautiful little madcap 'of the mill was not so hoiden- ish, so saucy, or so mirthful; and, as the hours of each day rolled on, her eyes, with a e.range light in their dark depths, would turn toward the counting -room door. More than once handsome Percy Gran- ville had walked home with Gay from the mill, and soon the forked tongue of scan- dal -mongers began to whisper lightly the name of Little Gay. "Of couree"—they said with a knowing nod—"the girl ought ;,o know better than to encourage bis attentions"—he was so far above her socially. he had no thought of marriage; when it came to choosing a Wife, ' be would certainly never think of mating with a factory girl though she were beautiful as an hone. One afternoon Mies St. Claire had met Hazel going home alone from the mill, and to her she repeated the story the herself had been the means of circulating —the story which she said the people were telling of Little Gay. Poor Hazel was horrified—indignant — bowed down with the bit,ereet shame. "It is, unfortunate, a very natural thing of a free -and -easy young man like ]kir. Granville to admire a pretty face," Masi, St. Claire went on glibly, "but for your sister's' sake and your own, 1 advise you to remove her as quiekly as you Can from his influence, Ieet her life be wrecked and her heart broken." "I have no place to take her," replied Hazel, weeping. "We could not make as monuchey.'anywhere as we make at piece.wnrk in the Passaic Mills; besides, I have no m if I"should furnish you with the money required, would you take her so far away that Mr. Granville would never hear of her more?" Miss •St, Claire asked quickly "Remember your eister'e future la at. stake, In return for my kindness to lice, 1 should evert a solemn promise from you that there should be no eurreslion- dence between them; they mast be sever: ed es completely—forever—ea though sae of them were id the grave. Do you an. derstandP" kit. J. l'3ERPONP MORGAN, The Great American 1?inaueier. "Yes," murmured Hazel, faintly. "I would advise you to plaee her in a convent,' continued Miss St. Claire; "even were he inclined to attempt to trace her he would never think of looking for her there; the young ladies placed in those institutions are strictly prohibited from wri.iug to or receiving letters from any gentleman. "Remember, you must take her away from here suddenly, and without warning, so suddenly that she will not have time to acquaint Mr. Granville of her intended departure or her destination. Do you quite understand?" she asked again. • "Yes," sobbed Hazel, covering her farce' with her hands. I am Percy Granville's betrothed bride," she went on, "and for that reason I should 'be sorry to see harm befall your pretty sister through him." The terrible falsehood did not barn her lips as she uttered it. What were a few spoken words to the desperate. haughty heiress when love and happiness were weighed in the balance? If this girl Hazel repeatedthem it would be easy enough to deny it; who would credit the assertions of a, working -girl against her word? "Come to my house tomorrow evening and I will give you what money you will require for the journey," said Mies et. Claire. Poor Hazel was profuse in her tearful thanks, and Gay's cruel enemy. who had so deliberately set about wrecking two lives and thrusting two hearts asunder, was glad to break away from Hazel's thanks, she was blushing so guiltily. Hazel walked on to her humble lodg- ings like one dazed. People spoke harsh things of Little Gay, who was as tender as a white dove, and as guileless as one of the white angels in heaven. Oh, how dared they do it! Yet Li tle Gay must never again come home with Mies St. Claire's betrothed lover. Yes, she would go to -morrow night and accept the money to take Gay away. She must do it for Gay's sake! Her sister should not know her inten- tions until they were' safe on some out- going train, speeding far away from the Passaic Cotton Mill, and from handsome Percy Granville forever. She gained her lodgings, and had scarce. ly laid aside her wraps before Gav burst into the room, her face all aglow with excitement, her pretty dimpled cheeks flushed, her red lips smiling and her splen- did dusky eyes shining like stars. "Oh, Hazel!" she exclaimed breathless• Iv. "there's going to be a ball at the Highland House to -night, and I'm invit- ed. Don't object, Hazel, dear. I have set my heart on going—yes, I must go; I have never been to a ball in all' my life, you know, and I ,am nearly seventeen years old." Hazel gazed carefully into the beautiful, flushed, dimpled face. "who invited you?" she asked uneasily. "Per -Mr. Granville," replied Gay. blush. ing furiously as the corrected herself; "he's on the committee. He's to call for me at half -past eight." "You cannot go," said Hazel, slowly, stroking the brown, curly head. Gay started back in bewildered dis- may; she could never remember a time in all her young life that her sedate sis- ter, who 'was more like a mother to her, had deliberately refused her anything. "But I have set my heart on it, Hazel," she cried. "I want to go to a real ball, see lights and music, and enjoy myself just for once in my life, as other girls of my age do. Oh! it would be like a glimpse of heaven to poor little me." The next moment two soft, white arms stole caressingly and coaxingly around Hazel's neck, a soft glowing cheek was laid against hors, and two irresistible. dark, velvety eyes were looking appeal- iugly into her own. No,"" said Hazel, determinedly, harden- ing herself to the task; "you would be out of place, my darling, among those fine ladies, who are all so wealthy and so haughty in their satins and jewels." Gay. threw her head back with a merry rippling laugh, her roguish eyes dancing. I knew you would say that, Hazel, so look here: I was telling one of the girls that I could not go, for I had nothing fit to wear; my old white mall dress was too badly patched and darned, and—wasn't she very, very good, Hazel?—she was kind enough to loan me one she wore last summer. I brought it home with me, and it's'a perfect beauty. I tried it on, and it leeks just lovely on me, and fits mo perfectly by -taking it in a little at the neck, and gathering it a li:.tle tighter et the belt" And in a glow of triumph she flew to the other end of the room, and in an other moment was standing before Karel, laughingly shaking out the glowing folds of a rose -pink tarlatan dress, with stream- ing pink satin ribbons. "Now you won't may 'nn; you dear old Hazel?" she cried, Iaying her curly head coaxingly on Hazel's knee. But for once in her life Hazel was firm --Little Gay's pleadings were nil in vain. "Write to Mr. GranvilIe a short, polite note, and send it to him at oneo, telling him' you cannot go, or 1, shall be obliged to call upon him with that verbal* mes- sage," elle said. At last the little tear -blotted note. was written, and Karol herself went to deliver it, leaving poor wretched Gay drowned in tears and sobbing as though her heart was breaking. How cruel it was to be kept Pram the grand ball—and a ball was a great event in the life of Gay Esterbrook.

Fraser, Another great.advantage is the large, unobstructed haymow. With the self-supporting roof there are no timbers whatever obstructing the mow, which means no dragging of hay around or over, posts or gird- ers. The hay carrier rune on a sir- eular track around the mow, mid- way between the silo and the out- side wall and drops the hay at any desired point, which means the sav- ing of much labor. 1 r construction isthe The c reals strongest, because it takes advant- age of the lineal instead of the breaking strength of the lumber. Each row of boards running around the barn forms a hoop that holds the barn together. Any piece of timber is 'many times stronger on a lineal pull than on a breaking stress. All exposed surfaces of a round barn are circular, as both the sides and roof are arched, which is the strongest form of construction to resist wind pressure. Besides, the wind in striking it glances off, and can get ne direct hold on the walls or roof as it' can on the flat side or gable ends of a square or rectangu- lar structure. If the lumber is properly placed in a round barn ranch of it will per- form two er more functions. Every row of siding boards running around the building serves also as a brace and the same is true of the roof boards and the arched rafters. If ,the siding is put on vertically and. the roof built dome shape, no scaffolding is required inside or out. These. are points of economy -1 in the round construetion. Another item of economy in the circular barn is less framing lum- , ber. This form has the strongest possible construction with the least lumber in the frame and the least bracing, not a single timber larger than a two by six being required. above the sill. The arched circular roof requires no support and no scaffolding is needed inside during! -1,its construction. In comparing the 60 -.foot round barn with a rectangu- lar barn of the same area, the two barns should afford the cows the same amountof space on the plat- form. Allowing each cow in the 60 - foot round barn three feet six inch- es in width at the rear of the plat- form, it will accommodate 40 cows and leave space for two passage- ways. But, in a rectangular barn only three feet four inches plat- form space need be allowed for t'- each cow and the 78 ., foot barn, with two three-foot passageways across it for convenience in feed- ing, will accommodate 42 cows. While the rectangular barn has stall room for two or more cows, the round barn contains space in the centre for a silo . eighteen foot in diameter. The complete bills for materials for these barns show the exact sav- ing in lumber on the 60 -foot round barn over the plank and Mortise frame rectangular barns, 86x78% feet. Thelumber bills of the rectangu- lar barn show an increase in cost of 28 per cent. for the plank frame and 54 per cent. for the mortise frame. The round barn 60 feet in diameter, contains 1181, and the rectangular barn 225 lineal feet of wall. The 90 -foot round barn would hold 100 cows in two rows, headed together, 65 of which would be in the outer circle and have three feet six inches each in -Width at the gut- ter. This leaves sufficient room for feed alleys and walks and two pas- eageways, one three feet and the other seven feet wide for the ma- nure and feed carrier. An of this is outside of the central space for a silon w in diameter t etyfeetnds '71 feet high, with a capacity of 620 tons of silage and in the mow there would still be an excess above the capacity of the rectangular barn of 33,000 cubic feet, which would hold 66 tons of hay or as much as the entire mow of a. barn 32x36 feet with twenty -foot posts." In the final summing up of the cost of all the material for the com- pleted dairy barns with silod show the saving of from 34 to 58 per cent. in favor of the round barn and silo, or an actual money saving of from $379 to $1,184, denending upon the size and construction of the barn. Thoughtless men go on building rectangular barns, but what would this reckless disregard of a pos. Bible saving of 34 to 58 per ' cent. mean in a year's business on the farm? If the dairymen discarded the idea of a rectangular barn and built a round barn instead, with the money thus saved he could buy one of the best purebred sires for his herd', and also from three' to ten pure bred heifers or fine erode :do'tvs. • licher of these pur- chases might double the pr&fit of the herd, or this craving properly a»rrlied, would purchase' many la- bor saving devices, which would its"'::' •, • 4,:^.�e(.N'.8b"�,ti ;ser r'�=;+�.�.,.�°;"�• Take A Handful 0 i " Sf.

While we have heard a good deal lately about the growth of the Ar- gentine Republic, says the Spring- field Republican, leas has been said of the rapid progress made by Brae zil, a country of enormous possi- bilities. In estimating its future it is well to remember that it is larger by some 50,000 square miles than the United States, excluding Alaska and our island possessions, while in natural resources it is probably not inferior. Its develop- ment, of course, has been much slower, but its turn is now coming. A recent British consular report calls attention to the fact that San Paulo, which ten years ago had but 100,000 people, has now a popula- tion of 380,000 and expects in fif- teen..years to reach the million mark. Twenty year's ago it had no in- dustries, to -day there are 300 con- siderable factories' representing a capital of $50,000,000 and having an -annual output of $60,000,000. This is a hopeful •symptom, and it must be considered' that in its in- terior regions which have hardly been explored Brazil possesses an enormous wealth of valuable raw material, vegetable and mineral. The success of the United States in reclaiming the Panama : zone has been taken by many teak._ a new era for the tropics; certainly as the world's demand for tropical Pkt- ducts increases Brazil will increase steadily in prosperity and popula- tion.

The Chief *Valet Speaks English, t'r'ench, German and Itailan. His Majesty has throe valet's—a chief and two assistant valets. The chief valet has been with his Majes- ty for the past twelve yi:ars. His deities are to superintend the caro of the, Royal wardrobes, to attend on the King in the Royal dressing room, and to take all instructions concerning the King's clothes rvhich. may be given hien either directly by his . Majesty or by one of the private secretaries, says London' Answers. His Majesty's clothes are kept in, a large room adjoining the dressing' room,. The walls of the room are lined with wardrobes, which are ..di- vided into two sections—one 'sec- tion contains the King's uniforms, and the other his Majeetyis ordi- nary morning, walking,, ail I't vensng suits of clothes/ c� Overnight, the chief valet j is in- structed regarding the ttnifor'ms, if any, and the suits of oloth•os. 7hich the King will require for wear the following day,'' and' these are"pi, ted °; by theassistant valets in the Ro ;a1 ' dressing -room, Before a suit oar uniform is sent into the Roya , dreasing-room it is inspected by the chief valet9to` see that it is peeper ly brushed, ironed, and ready fore wear; No Assistance Required. Every morning the suits which the King has worn the day previously are brushed and ironed by the assipr tent valets. ' The King,it may be noted, never, wears the same suit two days run- ning. As a rule his Majesty would not wear the same suit oftener than once in the week, and when it has been worn about two dozen times it would be put out of the Royal ward,; robes. The present King keeps earlier hours than did his late Majesty.. King George customarily rises at seven o'clock, when he takes a cup of light coffee, which the chief valet brings him directly the King enters his dressing -room. His _ 'Majesty then has his bath, .which is always a cold one,' whilst the Ring'"is iii. his bath -room, the chief valet puts, the links and studs into his Majesty's shirt, puts out an assortment of .ties on the dressing -table, • and plat . the boots or shoes the King iii en to wear on a mahogany boot-etand, and then retires. The King dresses himself without the aid of'a valet, 'except' whph put- ting on a uniform, when thio chief valet is generally in attendance. When the King traveler', the chief valet superintends. the acking of his Majesty's ]uggag which is done by the assistant valeta. A list;; of everything that is to be packed is made out bythe chi valet, . �et,' and on the arrival of then e at the King's destination the list is check- ed over by the chief let whilst the portmanteaus ;are ing unpacked. "Trying -On" ul&; Easy. The King's• chief v let is a well- educated and very well -ham -Med man. He is a .fir -rate Iinguist, speaking French, Ge man and .Ital- ian, in addition to his native tongue, perfectly. He has travelI•ed all over the world with the King, and is known and held in high es- teem by all the great European monarchs, from whore ie •, ceived during their, visits to Eng-' land many tokens of their esteem. King George rarely . or never tries en a suit of clothes, and seldom is ' seen by the tailors who have the honor of his Majesty's custom. When the King desires to order any new clothes he informs the chief valet of the fact, who gets patterns for the King's inspe tion, when his Majesty has selected the pat- terns, the chief vales gives the or- der to the tailor, and the clothes, when ready for trying on, .are fitted on dummy figure of the Ring. The chief of valet inspects the suit when it is fitted on the model, and gives the 'tailor allthe necessary 'directions concerning it. A suit is generally ! fitted on the model three times. b;. { 'Scent for Sleep.
