BAKER. 1654-tf THE HURON THE FATE OF PETER. "I have long thought Peter had never underrated his own i portance, but he would have been. m puffed -up than ever if he had seen the co motion his disappearance caused. " My best bronze turkey ! Isn't it shame, Beatrice ? Isn't it mean ?" exclaim Aunt Mary, with tragic eyes and her c over one ear. " I'd be ashamed to tell y what I paid for him. There wasn't one like him in the county." '" Who could have taken' him ?" asked Beatrice indignantly. " The same rascally boys that took my cherries last summer, I suppose," said her aunt, looking sadly through the wire fence at her variegated flock --peevish hen turkeys, vacant eyed geese, and complacent little ducks that would have had dimples if nature had provided a place for them. Well, my dear, Pll try not to think any more about it. I don't want to spoil your visit. Shall we get our hats and take a little walk ? You haven't been down towards the water yet ;" and Aunt Mary turned resolutely away. " Why, look here," exclaimed Beatrice a few minutes later as they followed random equirrel tracks through the fields. "Itn't3 this a tnrkey feather ?" Aunt Mary sOlemnly exaniined it. " That's Peter," she said at last, in the tone of one identifying her dead. "And here's another," added the girl, hurrying forward. " They must have gene this way. Perhaps we can traok them by the feathers. Wouldn't it be fun to walk in on them and demand our turkey ? Here's still another." Peter had evidently read " Hop.o.!-My- Thumb " when he was little, for every few feet he had dropped a downy, bronze tipped breast feather or a long, shining quill. The two followed excitedly, often losing the trail, but paeiently going back and starting over again till they had recovered it. Before long they came to a little whirl of feathers in the middle of a path which skirted a small brook, and there the trail ceased. Not another onecould be found. " I'm afraid he hadn't any left that would come off," said Beatrice regretfully. Aunt Mary stood considering. Her skirt was turned up around her waist, showing a shore alpaca petticoat and a pair of enormous shoes, guiltless of blacking. Her morning cap, which she hed forgotten to take off, bulged out from beneath a rakieh sombrero, yet she looked every incise general. No one who had seen the fine old face with its strong lines and steel blue eyes would have given another thought to its outward setting. " I'll tell you," she said at last. " They put him in a sack here—they probably were afraid to atop before—and they crossed the brook, Don't you see those tracks in the mud on the other side ?" " And then they climbed this fence," added Beatrice eagerly. " See, theyecraped the mud off their shoes as they did it. ;Then they probably took that path. Do lee's go on. Shall we look for a gate?" Beatrice had Only bad a town acquaintance with her aunt before this. " VVhat do you want of a gate, child ?" she asked, -.planting one square toed shoe on the third rail, and placing the other firm- ly on the same rail the other side of the fence before she swung the first over and let hermit down. There was a businesslike di- rectness about her movements that gave them a certain dignity. Beatrice climbed over with more regard fur appearances, but she did not see anything to laugh at. • What is that little house we're coming to ?" she as -ked when they had gone some distance. " Why, that must be the Pacific Gun Club," answered her aunt. " Of course. I never came on it this way before, and I didn't realize we were so near the water. It belongs to some young. men who gome up from the city for the duck shooting ,clown here in the marshes." " The Pacific Gun Club ? Why; 1 did't suppose that was so near you. I know sev- eral of the members," said Beatrice -involun- tarily putting up her hand to her h'air. " We will walk past and look at it if you like. If any of the members are staying there, they are probably out with their guns at this hour. See what a pleasant porch they have." As they turned the corner of the house; a young dog started up with a shrill bark. " Down, eir. Be still," called a masculine voice from the porch. " Stop it, you ki yi," added another, not so deep ; then exclaimed, " Why, Miss Og- den, where did you fall from ?" Beatrice, who had turned away, looked back in surprise as a young man in a muddy hooting suit came running down the steps. unt Mary lowered her skirt a few ieches, nd the puppy, condluding it was all right, ent back to something he was worrying. " Why, how do you do ?'' she said. "Aunt ary, this is Mr. Byrnes --Mrs. Ogden. re you staying up here ?'' " Yes ; I came up a couple of days ago ith my cousin, Ereest Hammond. Hello, meet : Come down here." " Pm really not presentable," answered a luetant voice as its owner dragged himself t of a deep lounging chair. " Oh, MiES Ogden won't expect a dress it before six," ansNvered the other cheer- ily, as the figure in splashed, draggled °or - treys came slowly towardathem. Beatrice wed very coolly over the introductions, alizing that it was not the state of his ethos that had kept this indifferent young an so quiet in the shelter of his chair. rnes, who was alsvays delighted to meet ything feminine- anywhere, was talking lubly to Aunt Mary. " You must come down and dine with us me night, Mrs. Ogden. We have a bang cook," he was saying, ignoring the im- tient movement of his friend's eyebrowe. Cen't you come tomorrow night? It's onlight, and we'll take you home after- rds."

It is the only prepara- tion of its sort devised by a regularly grad- uated physician—a skilled and experienced specialist in the diseases of women. Other medicines are sometimes sold on , the plea that they are "just as good as the 'Favorite Prescnption.' " Don't believe it. - Don't be imposed upon. Counterfeits are never as good as the genuine. Over aso,000 women have en;Sorsed "Fa- vorite Prescription." They say there is nothing "just as good " and they know. Would you rather have the say-so of one dealer who makes an extra profit on the substitute, than the provable words of eeo,000 women whose only object in recom- mending the " Favorite Prescription " is their desire to help their suffering sisters? accepted so cordially that, there was nothing to do butturn her back more decidedly on the other young man. . " We must be going now," she said. " I'm sorry you found us so seedy," said Byrnes, " but we were up before dawn." " After ducks ?" He glanced at his companion with a sup. pressed lamb. " Well, we bagged some other game this morning," he began, bul the other broke in with an impatient. " Say, Rod, that's enough." .Aunt Mary, who had been watching the dog intently for the last few minutes, glanced keenly at them both and shut her lips tightly together, Are you -staying far from here, Miss Ogden ?'' Hammond went on, evidently for the sake of saying something. " I really don't know," she answered in- differently. " We were following a trail. We have lost one of our—" " Yee; we rather lost our way," interposed her aunt abruptly. Come, Beatrice, we must burry hack." " May we send you some ducks?" asked Byrnes. " Thank you, --but neither my niece nor I eat them," was the' stiff reply. " Good morning." And Aunt Mary trailed off with her skirt on the - ground, followed hy her astonished niece, , " The old lady eeemed in a hurry," re- marked Byrnes, stooping to roll the dog over. " There was Tabasco in her eye." " What did you want to ask them here for?" We'll have to shave," said the other, going back to his chair." " You don't know Beatrice," was all tho answer he received. " Aunt Mary," Beatrice suddenly exi7 claimed, after they bad walked on i pose he meant about bagging some ,othe t silence for some time, " what do you sup - game this morning ?" Her aunt turned an faced her . " And what do you suppose that do meant with Peter's right wing in hie mouth ?" she demanded, " Not really !" Beatrice gasped as the natural inference forced itself upon her. " There isn't another big bronze wing like that in this county, .except Peter's left,' was the severe reply. " It is simply outrageous," Beatric broke out after a pause. "Rodney Byrne is always doing things like that, too. 'When he goes back to town, he'll tell every girl h ' knows about it, and from that distance,' with reluctant honesty, " it will probabl sound very funny. Are you going to speak to him ribout it ?" " Indeed I am not," eaid Mrs. Ogden de• cidedly ; and you needn't either, Beatrice, not one word on the eubject. If he chooses to steal, it is his own affair." "I wish we hadn't promised to go there to dinner." "Peter was worth a great deal more than one dinner. I shall not feel under any obli- gations. If I see anything I particularly like in the house I shall probably. take it home with rrie. I need a new porch chair." When Aunt Mary descended to sarcasm, things were very bad indeed. They found two very immaculate young men waiting for -them. on the club steps the next night. Brynes was boyishly glad to welcome "them, and Hammond, who edemed to have made up his mind to go through it like a man, met them with a quiet cordiality which it was hard not to respond to. Even the Chinese cook gave them a beaming " How do ?" as he brought in the soup. Aunt Mary was a trifle majestic:, but that might easily have been the effect of- going out to dinner and having her cap on straight, and Beatrice kept forgetting all about her righteous wrath. They were all laughing at some ebsurd adventure of Byrnes' when Bing appeared in the door- way, bearing proudly son a platter a huge brown -object. Beatrice felt herself grow pale. Yes, it evas—La turkey ! There was an electric silence. i " You don't appreciate ducks, so ,you see we had to give, you something elee, ' began Ieyrce3 cheerfully. " Will you have dark or li-ght meat, Mrs. Ogden ?'' Beatrice held her breath. , ." It is immaterial," -was the stately answer, but Brutus condemning his sons did not exercise more self control than Aunt Mary Ogden in that moment of trial. " And which are you for, Mies Ogden, blond or brunette ?" Byrnes went on, amoothing hie straw colored locks with a meaning glance at the dark head- opposite. "1 don't think I'll let vou say. You shall have some of both for die present." Convereation languished for the next few minutes. Aunt Mary kept sternly to her vegetables; but Beatrice, after a struggle, gave in. " Poor.Peter, ie does seem cannibalistic, but there's no -use wasting him now," she thought. " What a mean trick it wars !" There was a blazing fire in the living room for the late October evenings were cold, and after dinner they gathered around it. Ham- mond seated himself next to Beatrice, quite -untroubled by his friend's muttered rernon- stra,nce, and deliberately set to vvork to make himself agreeable. He was much the cleverer of the two, and:far more stiinelating to a girl like Beatrice, and soon they were deep in a discussion that left the fate of Peter forgotten. They piled euealYptus leaves on the logs, and to this day their odor ie associated for Beatrice with the dark glow of firelight on redwood walla, At last one of the stickifell apart, sending -a shower of coals across the hearth. "deook out for your gown, ',Miss Ogden," BYrnes exclaimed, bringing her back to the present with' a start. " Let me brush those EXPOSIT° out of the way." He knelt down and swept them 'carefully back. His brush wee the left wing of a 'huge bronze turkey. - " Beatrice, it is time We, went," said Aunt Mary, rising abruptly, and her niece meekly followed. A tranquil moon lighted the inharmonioue little party as they followed a path_ that did not involve fence climbing. " Oh; I wonder," exclaimed Byrnes, when they were nearly there. "Is your house made of Jogs with the bark on, and has it a row of chicken houses or something like that ?" " Very much like that," said Aunt Mary shortly. Rod gave an irrepressible laugh, which was checked by a glare from Ernest. Beatrice was not sure but that a kick went with it. " We are coming to call soon," Mr. Byrnes added, as they said good night. " Not, before morning, I trust," matered Aunt Mary, shutting the ball door with emphasis, When you oherish a private grudge against a man who has an attractive personality, and a way of getting you so interested that you forget all about it every few minutes your conduct is not very even. Hammond must have found Beatrice the niost cordial girl that -ever snubbed a an in the brief hour of his call the next d y. He watehed her with a new interest, and went away- ponderin " I eal that rather a dead cold frost," said Byrnes crossly. He 'ad fallen to Aunt Mary, whose temperatur had shown no tendency to fluctuate. " _ Ise Ogden seemed rather snippy, too, thou h I heard her laughing once or twice. o you suppose they have found out about the °thee morning and don't approve of us ?" " Not unless you've blabbed," answered Hammond. A few days later a strange little proces- sion filed out of Aunt Mary Ogden's back door towards midnight, and took its way in the direction of the chicken houses. Aunt Mary, wrapped up with more regard for comfort than grace, led the way, carrying a small lanteen, a huge tea cozy, and a pistols Beatrice cable next with another pistol and a couple of iehairs and Anton, the Portu- guese boy, ollowed nervously with a clothes line and a pitchfork. It was a, terrible moment for him, with lurking thieves behind in the darkness and armed women in front. He had looked out of his stable- window a little while before, roused by subdued sounds below, and had seen a dark figure working at the new padlock that fastened the big chioken house. A slight noise bad been enough to send the intruier scuttling away into the da kness, and then he had crept fearfully ao ose to the house and given the alarm, part y with a view to saving the poultry, an partly because he would not have staye alone another hour for three times his wages. The two women settled themselves rn a small- granary that opened out of the chicken hoese, and commanded a view of the roost, and, Aunt Mary, after lighting thei lantern, covered it with the tea cozy, so that not a ray escaped. Anton wee stationed in a dark corner near the door, which he 'was to close after the thief was well inside, and the signal had been giv,oHn.c can ohut himself on the other aide of it if he, likes," Aunt Mary whispered. "He'd be as useful there as anywhere. He is al- most in hysterics now." " Well, it is Bort of nervous work," mur- mured Beatrice, with a little shiver, " You needn't stay a 'minute if you are frightened," said her aunt. I'll take you back if you want." "Oh, no;" shamed into' a semblance of courage. " I'm not really afraid. It's just —perhaps holding a pistol makes me a little shivery.' " There is nothing in it, you know, so it can't do—what's that?" They listened in- tently, but heard only the muttered prayers of Anton. " Aunt Mary," whispered Beatrice with an excited little laugh, what shall we do it it should be Mr. Byrnes ?" • " Treat him as we would any other thief," w, as the stern reply. " It couldn't be, though," added Beatrice. " He might do it once as a joke; but twice would be quite another matter. It must be some boy." " You heard what Anton said he wore—a light sombrero and a mackintosh. with a cape. The boys around here don't wear such garments." , " And Mr. Byrnes does," said Beatrice thoughtfully. " Well, I'm glad it isn't Mr. Hammond, any way. It doesn't seem a bit like him." "Heis probably waitiog outside, 'or ex. ploring the goose house," was all the en- couragement, she got. A stealthy sonnd froze them into silence.. After a few seconds the padlock was heard 'to click, and the door swung slowly open. They could see the dim outlines of a famil- iar sombrero and maekintosh against the opening; and waited breathlessly as the figure crept along the roosts towards a cer- tain corner.' ." He's. going . for my best Plymouth Rocks," thought Aunt Mary, with a little snort of rage and touched her companion. Beatrice jerked off the tea cozy, sending a stream of light on the intruder, and at the same instaet Anton swung the door shut, with himself eafely on the other side. Two shining revolvers were leveled by two ex- cited women. "It is no use, Mr. Byrnes," said Aunt Mary, , with deadly politeness. " We are armed, ,and you can't get out. trouble you to replace those chickens." The man started, violently, then, realizing his help- lessness, dropped the astonished fowls and stood motionless. "Hold up your hands, if you please," was the next order, which was promptly obeyed.- "It was a nice thing to do, coming here to rob defenseless women ; something to be proud of when you go back to town. I sheik prosecute--" Aunt Mary stopped with a gasp. As she lifted. the lantern, its light fell en two beady iilack -eyes and a vast yellow face that even tear could not blanch. "It's a Chinaman !". she cried. - "Aunt Mary, it's their cook !" Beatrice - almost shouted. "It's Bing." • " Anton," called his mietress • to the rembling boy, who bad opened the door a crack to see if any one was killed yet, ROOD HEALTH WI FOR WOMEN Dr. A. W.

The patty place selected was the cornfield by the , wood, Where the shocke of corn stood soldier -like in To grace"twhekglad occasion with a military air And is guard the timid maids from fancied foes. The guests were Misses Hubbard Squash, in gowns of richest green, And their crook neck cousins, dressed in golden hues, And the watermelon family, with all their kith and kin, And the Carrot and the Beet with pointed shoes. The Parsley and the Onion 'and Tomato (dressed in redp And the epper with her temper well in hand, And the youthful Dr. Cuctuuber, without a thought of pain, And the noble Bean from distant Boston land. The Sweet Potato brought, of course, her dearest Pesnut ohum, And the Radish and the Celery were galore, With the Lettuce end the.Parenip and Potato, hum- ble friends, While the cabbage Head and Turnip came at four. The brilliant dance was. opened by the graceful Gladys Hop With a vegeta5le of very great renown. They led the grand cotillion- with a dignity unique And the waltz between the stubble up and do ,vn. The chaperon benignant eniiled upon the bashful beaux they quite forgot their quaint and rural ways, A , choosing blushing ' partners from the fair and , ' modest gueste, Soon were swinging through the gay and giddy maze. 4 The Pumpkin served refreshmentr of a most delicious eort, Though the dish that all the guests preferred was pie, While the Gourd, with skately manners, passed the amber nectar rofind Which he bought from! yonder cider mill hard by.

" The 1900 contingent argue that, of -course, the new century begins with its numeral date, and so on to figure cut very deftly that with the last day of the year 1899 the hundred years will have run their count. They argue that if the first year ended with December 31 of the year one, the nineteen hundredth year must, of course, 'end with December 31, 1899, and that the firstelay et January, 1900, is, therefore, the first day of the new. century. And, curiously enough, this latter figure is correct, but only in * numeral sense. iThese stististicians over- look one very important fact, however - that it requires one hundred years to mak; a century, and it calls for no expert mathe- matician to figure it out that the full hun- dred years of the nineteenth 'century will not have run their course -until twelve, o'clock midnight of • the thirty.first of De- oember, 1900. Numerieally, we enter the tentury with January 1, 1900. But, never. the less, we must complefe that entire year of 1900, and go through its three hundred and sixty-five days, before the actual nine. teen hundred years shall have run their course."

The South African Bushmen are, Gifted with ,Marv'ellous Sight. It has often been remarked that civilized people tend te become short sighted. This. is beceuse in towns and cities their vision ia mostly confined to short distances. &vile races, on the other hand, are generally gifted with -remarkably keen sight, and few tribes are more noteworthy in this respeet than the African bushmen, whose eyes are veritable telescopes. This power is no- ' doubt fa wise provision of nature, for the bnshman are a small race, and if they were not able to see danger a ldng way off they would soon be exterminated by their mi. ous enemies, whether savaeges of other tribes or wild beasts. I A traveller in South Africa, relates that while vealking one day in !company with * friendly bushman the savage Suddenly stopped, and gazing aerosol the plain cried out that there waa a lion iidieed. The trav- eller gazed long and earnestly in the direc- tion indicated by the bushmen, but could see nothing, " Nonsense " he eaid, " there's nothing there." An'd he went for- ward again, with the bushman following at his heels, trembling and unwilling, and still iusserting that he could see a lion. Presently the native eame to a dead stop and refused to budge another inch, for thk time, he declared, he could eee a Bones& with a number of cubs, a fact which made the animal more dangerous than ever. But the European, who could see no lioness, much leas its cubs, pushed ahead, dechtrieg the bushman was dreaming. After walk*, a quarter of a mile, however, he could dim- ly make out an object moving across the - horizon. Still doubting that it could bethe object 'Which the bushman said he bast seen, he continued to advance, and at lest was able to distinguish a lionees, with her cubs around her, walking leisurly towards the woods.—Chums.

The affection of the old soldiers who' fought in the Civil War for their comrades has oftee been remarked in the North and South. 'Father McGovern, of Great Barr- - ington, Massachusetts, in an address before the G. A. R. posts recently, revealed one of the secrets. He said : " An yid soldier one day brought a latter to me toread for him. He was wounded st Gettesburg and his sight almost entirely- tlestroyed. Many a long year had he grop- ed his way through the world. The letter told Of a icomrade's death. When the old Soldier heard it he wept with the heart of a child. " Why do you weep ?" I said ; " he is, not your brother," " No," be answered. " Nor a near relative ?'"' No," And wby do you feel so badly ?" " Ah, father," the old man Bald, "Pa can't go to war with a man and fight by hill- side, and face death with him, and share your rations with him, and He down fss sleep on the cold, damp ground with Min, •without loving him. " And then I understood why the old man shed tears. So it will ever be." • School Reports.
