If compelled to speak to her, she did so courteously, but she Inver voluntarily sought her. Miss Greenway chose to assume a condescend- ing and patronizing demeanor towards the governess, which only amused but did not irritate Barbara Dale. 'Then, when Julia- saw how completely Miss Dale considered her beneath her nOtice r contempt, the mean, small, jealous. ut- den ugh hot o nature rose in rebellion, and did it most to render Barbara's life a bu to her. She did not tufted, th at times send a stray home, which would bring the bright car- mine to Barbara's face. Between Mies Dale and. Bessie Green- way there sprang up a warm affection ; anJ, upctn the whole, the governess was very happy, Mrs. Greenway evinced no curiosity Miss Dale's antecedents, and regarding never sought to break through the bar- rier of reserve with which Barbara en -- compassed herself. I3ut Julia was not so considerate. She would intrude upon Miss Dale at all times, and ask questions which Barbara sometimes found it difficult to_parry without being actually rude to the daughter of her employers, "That's a lovely ring you wear," said Miss Greenway to her one afternoon, ending the governess alone by the Schoolroom fire. " Are you engaged, Miss Dale ?" "No," said Barbara, smiling a little, bat added. nothing to satisfy Miss Green - way's curiosity. "Let me see it, will you ?" was the next question. Barbara slipped it frons, her finger, and gave it to the inquisitive dam- sel, thinking it better to let her have her way in such a, small matter "What is that in the inside, Miss Dale?" asked Julia, holding it up to the light. "18 it French, or German, or Spanish ?" it is a Scotch motto, Miss Julia," answered Barbara quietly. "-How awfully funny ! Where did you get it? It just fits me exactly. It is too lovely for you to wear," said ' Julia flippantly, and held up her hand to watch the flashing of the diamond. " Let me have it, please. It never leaves my finger, and ought not to have done eo naw, said Miss Dale. Julia took it off, and tossed it into her lap. "11 you didn't get that from sonie lover or other, I don't know how you came by it," she said with cool imperti- nence. "Governesses don't often wear diamond rings !" Miss Dale took up the book on her lap, and fixed her eyes on it, thus ignoring Miss Greenway's speech and prdsence altor hes. she " t is so odd, too, that you don't eeem to have any relations, or any- thing," continued Miss Greenway, in- censed by Miss Dale's behavior. "If I were ma, I'd have inquiries made." No answer whatsoever made Miss Dale, but her lip twitched. She could bear with Miss Greenway at times but her heart had been stirred that day by many memories and her endurance was slipping from her. "I know well enough that you're not the common sort that go out as gov- ernesses—shoopkeepere' daughters, and tbe like," went on Miss Greenway, tap- ping her dainty satin slipper on the fen- der, and fixing her grey eyes merciless - on the face of the governess. "The question arises, what are you? what's your atery ? I intend to find it out, Miss Dale." Miss Dale looked up from her book, and spoke a few words in a very low voice, but so decidedly that Miss G-reen- way stopped in her careless tapping on the fender. "Be good enough to leave the school- room, Miss G-reenway; I am not aware that you have any right to intrude upon me here, or to disturb me at my work." Very red grew Miss Greenway's face. "Oh, indeed; you are to be the mis- tress of the house, I suppose," she said spitefully. "I see how you are sneak- ing round. papa. and mamma, till you have gat them to think you an angel in disguise. Mamma holds you up to me every day as an example of every virtue woman can possess. I don't say much, but I'm biding my time, Barbara Dale, and pay you out for it." Kissing. Some say that kissing is a sin But I say that that will not stand, For it is a most innocent thing And allowed by the laws of the land. If it were such a transgression The preachers would have it stippreesed, But they and their people, and session Seem to like it as well as the rest. _ Both the old and the young have practised it In thisandin every age, And no one has ever despised it, Be he saint, or savage, orsage.

' out the I law, this old judge, but they y were ve effective. One day a notor- ious ch racter was brought up for some- thing. 1 They had the whipping post there, then. The old judge looked at him. ' "1 think I see you before now ?" The culprit admitted that he had been there on several occasions. " Vel, I joost sentence you to forty lashes: You take twenty of them to- morrow, and then 'Tou vas released on your own recognizance, and you come back in a week and take the other twenty." The fellow had twenty lashes, and he hasn't been seen in Tucson since. lAnother little example of the judge's way of doing things was the case of 'a man brought up before him for firing off a pistol in the street or something. They had taken $340 from him when he wal arrested. " I joost fine you $200," said the judge. "Why," said the prisoner, "in San Francisco they would only -fine me $5 or $10." " You vas in Tucson, mein friend ; $200." So saying, Miss Julia gathered up her silken skirts and bounced out of the room. Miss Dale smiled a little in a tired way, and went on with her book. Miss Greenway's explosion had not aroused amything but amusement in her mind. Presently Mrs. Greenway enter- ed the schoolroom with a half -finished frock over her. arms. "Just tell me how you wouldput on this trimming, Miss Dale," she said; "you always know just how a thing ought to go." Barbara shut her book, and went over to the window to give he,r opinion. "What has Julia, been saying to you, Miss Dale? I heard her tongue going,a minute ago,- asked Mrs. Greenway. "She was putting at few plain ques- tions to me, Mrs. Greenway, and, be- cause I did not think fit to answer satis- factorily, she poured the vials of her wrath on my head," said Miss Dale. "Julia and I cannot agree, Mrs. Green- way," she added with a little laugh. The man was complaining bitterly after he paid the fine. "Don't kick ?" said another. "Von were lucky. If he'd known you had $340 on you he'd have fined you a 1 of it." Some fellow who wasl, being moved for a change of venue. "You vent a change of venue? for ?" asked the judge.

(That was what Mrs. harpe understood Mrs. Marlborough rcesus to say.) " Butter ? Why, that's a queer fad r a learned professor. But I'll do my eat." That evening, at the reception, Mrs. harpe opened out hravely upon Proles - or von Dunkelheim at the first opportu- ity. "As we were driving out on the island his afternoon, aw some of t ersey cows tli ife." Ah ?" "And at on place the cows beyond he fence contemplated us with such entle, tender eyes and such soulful oos that for a moment I forgot their racticad value in their aesthetic attrac- ions. But, after all, I thought, it is ot for their beauty that we should 7alue them, but for the butter they pro- d (uce." " Um." Mrs. Sharpe rattled on about the cows or a conversational mile or two without hawing out any response from the pro- essor. "It is becauee he thinks I don't know anything about the way butter is made that he won't talk," thought Mrs. Sharpe. "Well I will convince him that I do know something about it." And she proceeded to discus i3 the creamery methods in vogue in Vermont, with an infinite deal of talk about coolers and temperature and mechanical butter - workers, and so on.

"Don't stand any impertinence from her, Miss Dale," said Mrs. Greenway emphatically. " She has neither senae nor shame sometimes. Be very sharp with her, and never mind her when you can help it." Barham was silent, while her skilful fingers fastened the trimmings gracefully - and effectively on Bessie's gown. "There, I think thatlooks very nice," she said when it was done. "Yes, it is nice," said Mrs. Greenway. "My dear, you are a great help to me. 1 am very glad a happy chance brought you, to me." Miss Dale looked up iato the anxious face with a quick glance of gratitude. "Thank you," she said very gently. " I get so sick of this struggle some- times, child,- said M rs.

He was plainly very much bored, and edged away after a while. Mrs. Sharpe was in despair. Presently Mrs. Marlborough Crwsus got her into a corner, and said: " Why, what in the world do you mean by talking forever to Professor von .Dunkelheim about cows, and creameries, and all that sort of thing?" - " Isn't that his specialty? Didn't you tell me so?" "Why, never in the world !" " What is it, then, for heaven's sake?" "Buddha, of course. He's written any number of boOks aboat Buddhism."

MARTIN, Peddler, Box 64, Clinton. 1018 Tucson Justice. IT WORKED WELL THEN, AND THE MAJESTY OF THE LAW WAS ' MAINTAINED. An old resident of California, who llias seen some very queer things and niy changes, got talking the other night of a trip he made to Arizona some years ago, just about the. time of the Tombstone boom. " It was quite extraordinary;" he said. "The country was full of desper- adoes and bad gamblers, and they were very dangerous, too. They ruled Tomb- stone at that time. A friend of mine wafrin Tombstone, and one day he saw a man Walking quietly along who was a noted desperado and , murderer—a man for whose head a big reward was offered. He knew the Chief of Police. ,and he went and told him about it. Inside of the day he got a notice that they give him one hour to quit Tombstone, and he quitted. Now, at Tucson there was law and order, and those satne desperadoes who went about shooting in Tombstone would, go down to Tucson and behave like the most guileless of citizens. This was mainly on account of an old judge they had there, a German, who feared none of thein and had his own emphatic way of serving out the law. They knew if they got into a scrape in Tucson, they were in for it and they'd get no Mercy. He had, perhaps, rudle ways of cariying GENTLEMEN!

'fifty years ago fire, one of the el& ments, was not to bahad Without some labor, and the exercise of considerable patience. Hence, invention, in the dire- ction of producing fire more readily, was greatly stimulated. The tinder -box with its steel and flint, accompanied by the common brimstone match, was the only means then known, Kerosene oil was then unknowinand gas was a luxury that few enjoyed. All oil -lamps were open, and made a,nimmense amount of smoke at best. Candles could not be burned all night,as they must be miffed occasionally. Having no means of read- ily producing a light at will, it was ne- cessary to invent a cheap light that would burn all night without attention. Some genius experimented until he found that the pith of a rush, used as a wick in a candle., would consume itself while burning. This was the best night light for many years.. Candles so made were called rush lights, and were so cheap. that poor families could afford to burn them „case of sickness, and when children required a.ttention. We believe the friction match was first self - lighting match produced. Then follow- - ed the iucifer match, which has been continually improved until it has cul- minated in our preeeut match, which practically brings fire as much within our reach as the other elements of earth, air and water. When we look back a few hundred years, and realize how diffi- cult it was to produce fire, we cannot wonder that the Montezumas made it a religious obligation to keep the fire continually burning, and . which was not allowed to go out for over three hun- dred years.
