A STRAY TiOVANPE.
BY Rims= AsBot.
. •
One evening in July," hopelessly mud-
- • -- died and thorou hly tired out I stopped
at a farmer's gate to get a drink and en.'
;quire my way.
. I was on a bicycle tour through On-
tario and while trying to make a short
cut for London had got mixed up in
concessions and Iside lines and lost my
bearings.
- It had been a scorching hot day; . as
I passed along e read I could see the
heated air quivering and dancing Over '
the waving grainfields, and the laborers
n
' in the fields by he roadside were only
too glad of an e use to lean nylon their
-
forks while they watched me till I dis-
appeared in a el. . d of dust.- ..
Oh, that Ca :. , . dust I my eyes,
nose and month ere filled with it. It
found its way th ough every crack and
crevice in my c thing and the clothes
themselves were covered with a thick.
Coating of the c " ging white, powder.
Finally, tired out, hungry, travel -
stained and lost 1 called a halt, as I said
before, at a farmer's gate, and the farm-
er, generoussoul„ seeing my condition
said:
"1 guessyou' egone 'bout far enough
fer one day, you -best come in and stop
the night.'
Maybe I was too proud to accept' and
maybe I wasn't.
' I have& habit, and perhaps after all
It is a good one, 1,f4taking a good look
at anyone I ch4ne to meet, and as we
walked upthe Ia4ie I "sized up" the
farmer over the top of my wheel. He
was a fine looking man in the prime of
life, about six feet in height. and well
proportioned. His face, though not
handsome, was geodhumored and pIeas-
anom foreheadbroad, his hair thick,
cove
7 face wall re
wavy brown, al with a thick brown

• beard. In :spite tof his rough clothes he
had a neat loo about him, but what
In
struck me most orcibly was that he had
' not that sharnb " g, "pump up. and
down "sort of lk peculiar to farmers.
Altogether he was a man whom,- if you
chanced to pass on the etreet, you would
turn around and look at again, oneuf
that kind. of mea who weild attract at-
tention even in a crowd. ' .
When we reached the house he took
me into the kitchen, when I h:c1 a good
wash at the sink and had my clothes well
whisked. Then 1 he introduced me to
. "the misses" and pointing •to half a
dozen bright looking, barefooted boys,
- said those were the youngsters. After
the ceremony of introduction the master
of the house said,I. .
"I'm goin' to do the chores now out
: to the barn and Lf you like you kin come
out and look 'round." -
I went out With him and looked on
while he hung a gate in the farm yard,
-, fed the calves and pigs, milked two or
• three cows Om „wife at the same time
was milking the others), tended. to the
horses and pumped a trough full of water
for the cattle. Then we sat down on the
edge of the well to chat and rest, . - -
The farm bui1dings . were owe slight rising ground and we could seein-
distinctly all around us tthe moving,
rustling fields of,gram, while further
away the lights intheneighbors' houses

themselves to -sleep. In the west the
orb of day,imhistlast vain *struggle with
conquering night, was dying the whole

• . sound of the 'whistle of a far off locomo-
tive made musical by the distance, came
floating to us over the treetops., It was

world seems at peace. - '

" Were you always a farmer?" said I.
No, he said; "1 was born in a
town in New England and was educated
at Harvard." - --
Then, after a pause he said : " It's

_ !‘ As I said bef re, I was -educated at

my father and mother died leaving me

the bar weiitto Buffalo and started to
practise.. why I went there I cannot
say except that s9mehow I had Wren a
faney to the place. r Everything seemed
to favor me. In two or three years I
had worked up a plendid practice and
was well on the road to fortune. Well,
of course, things c uldn't go on like that
without a womafl cropping up some-
where, and I fell desperate1y , in love.
Ray Scott, the young lady who had in,
spired my passioni was the daughter,. of
a wealthy old doe r in the city. Mise

Well that was theway _she used to do
and once you had seen those black eyes

heard that merry; , happy laugh, you.
were her devoted Slave. Miss Ray al-
ways had half a , dozen or so of lovers
- dangling about in the several stages of
the malady, and like many another fool,
when my turn cantle I thought she loved
me and I was happy—for a while. But
soon she began tolire of me and I grew
- desperate. I ask a her to be my wife,
I entreated her, plead with her but
she was firth. SIe refused Me absolute-
ly, and—welll it' the old, old story. In
My weakness' and folly Lteok-th drink
and the gaming table. About one year
after I stumbled, half tipsy, out of a.
gambling hell, ruined pecuniarily, physi-
callyonorally. Fortunately it neveroc-
curred to raee to commit suicide or I
would not be here now, for what had I
to - live for? Everything was gone,

'train ready to dart I went to the office
and laying down, all my money asked
for a ticket as fa as that would take

Ty but he was busy and it was none of
1 Ms business, so he gave me my ticket
mastoid nothing, I got aboard and the
train started. • 80011 the,conductor came
through and then it °mined to me for
the first time to find old where I was
going.- r looked at my ticket and AIM

carry me to a .place called
Hour after hour went by, Station after
station wasipaesed, and at last, late at
night, the brakemancame to the door
and Galled "S--" then the con -
dilator came along and told me I had
better hurry up as they couldn't stop
long at these small places. As soon as
the train stepped I jumped off and look-
ed around me. It was very datir and
'mowing hard.. Seeing a road leading to i
the south I started along it, utterly n -
different as to where I went or what be-
came of me. I waded on through the
ever deepening snow, past -trvo or three
houses, out into the open country, till
my numbed, exhausted limbs refused
to carry _me further and I sank down, in
a snow drift. I can hardly deicribe to
you my sensations. All my wretched,
-unhappy thoughts had left me. I seem-
ed to have lost the power of thought.- I
Telt perfectly. misted and content. The
cold no longer troubled me and soon I
sank into a deep, quiet sleep, or rather,
stupor. Of course I didn't stay there
long or I would not be here now.
When I awoke I was lying On a bed in
a roughly furnished room, with a rugged
but kindly faced old man bending over
me. '
"So ye're awake at last," he said.
Manbut ye had a.' close ca'. If I

the old man to rest. He left me every --

We sat for a while silent and then Mr.

sg. It seems to me," and the *speaker
paused, looking at a New York Times
reporter in _a way that portended the
utterance of an important truth, "that
there ought to be a society- for the sup:.
pression of amateur industry, or at least
for the encouragement Of it only under
certain conditions and limitations:"
" Which means ?" said the reporter,
expeotantly interrogative.
' "Which (Means 2" responded his in-
teresting vis-a-vis, f' that:I had quite an
experience the other day. I was lament-
ing to an acquaintance -that I Wanted
another bonnet, but, a -.I had -already
indulged in heveral, I doubted if my al-
lowance would permit the additional'ex:
Iravagance. '
' " 010'11 fix that for you," said she.
trn give you a card to a friend ,of mine-
who:makes simply delicious bonnets—
Kitty's adjectives, by the way, are apt
to get a little misplaced—‘ she takes any
little 4dd scraps of lace or ribbon that
-you niay have; bunches them together in
an indescribable way, And voilal there
is the bonnet in the latest, most stylish
effects
"1 'entured to suggest that I presum-
ed he terms were proportionately sty-
lish and 'effective, but Kitty silenced
me.?
"lit it all," was her earnest reply;
"her prices are simply • absurd .; you
will laugh to see the . bill. Why, she
has dohe ten hats and bonnets for me
this season, and they have cost -me lest;
than ny• usual fire of preceding sum-:
mers.' '
"01 course I was eager for the ;here-
aboute of this desirable Person and my
friendltook her own card, writing under
the engraved name 'introducing Mrs.
K. '—myself—and gave it to me with the
address, adding :"Don't go till to-
paorror, for I must send her a note an-
nduncmg your visit!' • . . -
"1 laughed at all thig ceremony about
a milliner, but Kitty Was very serious
and einphatic. "My dear,' she Said,
solemnly, "she is a great swell," and of
course I Was duly impressed. -
:The "riext afternoon I presented - my-
self at Mimi L.'s door, and I must sir I
wasrather awed at the magnificence of '
my reception, considering the errand.
To begin with, the house was just Off
Fifth avenue,on an aristocratic street u

I my ring, and I was ushered into I
-
spinions ante -room, whose superb fur-
nishings were repeated in the suite- of
drawing rooms beyond. My card, with,
my friend's card, went up on A tiny gold
salver, and very soon the grand funetion-
ary returned with the request that I
would walk up /stairs.
"Inicharming morning -room and a
ravish! tea gown Miss L. received me.
She was a plump, lovely young crea-
ture, with perfect mannerts and that
peculiarly- rippling musical voice that I
have riotieect belongs to Women with

"You want a bonnet," elle >.-began,_
4at!ghingly, but going 'directly' to the
point. 'Kitty wrote me 'about you.
Yee, Ill do one forsou with pleasure.
suppose Kitty told you it is a passion
with me, trimming bonnets. I positive-
ly dote' on it," !she went on. ]
1 "You &let imind laying aside your
hat," she continued. "1 want to see
the shape of your head and face.,',' •
She studied both, looked ,over the
materials I had brought, asked what
aostuine I would wear it with chiefly,
' to., keeping up all the time a little
bubble of chatter and laughter, and
hen, with great courtesy, allowed me t�
ake my leave.
' The next day I sent for my bonnet.
As Hitty had predicted, it was a marvel
f original styleand effect, and I found
on consulting an accompanying perfect-
ly -appointed little note, that one plain
dollar would settle my account with
itss L. •
• It Was really laughable. Any milliner
f any repute Would have charged me
2.50 at least for the simple trimming,
With ii list' of extras that would have
swelled the bill several limes. that. Of

now it hardly seems right?
The reporter patiently awaited eluei-
Mon, upon the moral aspect of the

, Now, Mise L., Kitty tells me, has

an almost unlimited one if she so chose.
She has absolutely no especial need for
