PLATONIC, Mr. Harper and Miss Kingsley were the editors of The Smoky City Independ- ent, or rather he was the editor and she was Ilia assistant. She edited the woman's column, gathered the fashion news and often wrote the verses for the poets' corner, and sometimes when they were short of compositors she would set a few stickfuls of type. Her position was no sinecure by any means. Smoky City was a progressive town ; women voted at the school meetings, and there was some talk of nominating a lady for mayor. Of course the woman's column of The Indepepdent must have much to say about woman suffrage and the like. Virginia Kingsley was a progressive woman ; she believed in these things. So she drove her pen nearly through the bottom of her inkstand and wrote sharp things, to the admiration of the female portion of the community. Miss Kingsley and Mr, Harper were the best of friends. They were not in love with each other. Brad Harper had never ..been in love, and as for Miss Kingsley she was too busy to think of such a thing. When she thought of Mr. Harper, it was as a sensible man. "with no nonsense about him," and lie admired her for her pluck and grit. Sometimes he said that much of the suc- cess of The Independent was due to her energy. They were on the most comfortable terms and called each other Kingsley and Harper, with a total absence of formality. He called her Kingsley at 'first by mistake, for he often forget that the busy scribbler at the other desk was not a man. He used to apologize for it and straightway repeat the offence, and she said he could not help it and that she did not mind, since it sounded so very business -like. Just for the fun of the thing she often dropped the mister from his name. • Miss Kingsley did not object to to- bacco smoke. which was a fortunate thing, since they had but one office be- tween them, and Mr. Harper could not write unless he had a cigar in his mouth. Ho often felt some compunc- tions of conscience when the roots be- came particularly blue with smoke, and once he said: ''My dear Kingsley, I wish you would take up some horrible habit and avenge yourself. Couldn't you chew gum, for instance?" "Don't mind me," Miss Kingsley re- plied good naturedly. "If I objected I would let you know very soon. I ad- vise you to light your cigar and get at work at your editorials; the foreman will call for copy before you have any." Matters did not always run on smoothly. A rival newspaper was started across the street, and subscrip- tions began to drop off. Things looked darker and darker, so that at the close of a day in December Brad Harper went over to Miss Kingsley''s desk, and seat- ing himself on the edge asked, "Well, what do you think of it?" "What do I think of what?" asked Miss Kingsley, tucking her pencil be- hind her little ear. She was pretty, de- spite the fact that she wore her hair crop ed short. "Of The Independent and things in general. To tell the truth, Kingsey, I don't see the use in trying to run the concern much longer. There have been precious few subscriptions renew- ed, and it is almost the first day of January. The outlook is dubious, to say the least." lie pulled his mustache and waited for Miss Kingsley's reply. She mads none, and he went on ; "The plain unvarnished truth is that Independent stock is way down. The Banner, across the street. is twice as popular already. The trouble is we run the paper on too high a plaue,while The Banner caters to the low tastes of tho masses. It is nothing but scandal and all uncleanliness. The truth is I have about decided to sell out. I am sorry on your account, however. You have been working on a starvation salary and now to be thrown out of a position would be hard. Perhaps we would better strug• gle on a few months longer. Luck may turn." "Not on Fey account,"said Miss King- sley quickly. •`You have done enough for me already. You took me when I was as ignorant as a goose and let me learn the business. I suppose I shall find another opening after a while." 'Perhaps it would be a good thing for us to go to Chicago." said Harper, after a moment's reflection. "I intend to go t as soon as I am well out of this, and it I find anything for you I will send for You. You are bound to succeed for you have 1 the regular journalistic instinct. I have always seen that," "I am glad that you think so. It is strange how you took me up. I got it into my head that I could write, and I sent my manuscripts around the coun- try till I was disgusted. Not more than one in 15 was accepted, and I had about decided to drop writing and do house- work for a living when I happened to 8 think of asking you for work." "You never spoke of yourself before," said Harper, "Why did you not? I ' t should have been interested, I know," t I had nothing to toll. I have been an orphan since I was 10 years old and 0u have knocked about the world since then. As soon as I get settled the order comes to move on.' Harper put out his hand and gave hors a friendly shake. "Yes, yes," he said eagerly', "we must go to Chicago. I feel that I cannot get along without t you." The Independent fell further in dis- favor when its editor took sides with the 1 •e, 41..Y, • r her lap,' knew for the fhet tome her feel- ing' toward him. What she said or did she scarcely knew, but after Brad had been taken to his boarding house and she had time to think over it she was haunted with a fear that she had said something expressive of feelings which were more than platonic. Miss Kingsley did not nurse Brad. She was too busy running the paper. The Independent suddenly became popular when people saw the girl fight- ing the battle alone. The woman's col- umn, the fashion notes and the poets' corner were neglected, while Virginia wrestled with the editorials. She kept up her side in the battle with the Bah- ner man, and as she had her views about the assault upon Brad, and did not hesitate to express them, popular favor turned against the Banner and its head, and the sympathy of the town was with the Independent and its editors reform The oral party gained the day, and its friends did not hesitate to say that their success was due to the Independent Brad was badly injured and a serious illness was the result of the wound on his head. He pulled through, thanks to his good constitution and the faithful nursing of Mrs. Smart, his landlady. Virginia did all the work of the paper while Brad was ill,but as soon as he had sufficient strength she began taking her editorialsaro him for criticism, and before long he was able to dictate to her, It was on one ot these instances, when Virginia's pencil was running at its fastest and Brad was dictating- an editorial on the silver question, that ho stopped and laid his hand on hers. "\ fait,'' he said. Miss Kingsley held her pencil poised over the paper thinking that he wished to make some corrections. "Kiugsley, you kissed ane the night I was hurt." She turned deadly pale. "Don't," she said. "Oh, don't remember that." "But I can't forget it. You kissed me and called Inc 'Brad, darling.' I did no dear any more, for I became uncoilscious. Now, I should like to know wha such a demonstration meant. You can- not sharpen that pencil; your hands aro trembling. Give inc the knife." Brad went on talking in a steady voice,mean while cutting dainty shavings from th pencil. '•'I'lie pencil was sharp enough if you had left it alone. 1t' you were any one else I should say you are ner- vous. "But to return to that night that you kissed ale. You and I were getting along on purely platonic principles. as I supposed. We were yards, in the ver- nacular of this wild and woolly west, but I never heard of a partner who would bold a man's head in his lap, kiss hint and call him 'Brad, darling.' Of course this platonic business is played out; you can see that as well as 1. The question is, \Vhat is to be done about it ?" Through this long speech Miss Kings- ley had 1i been trying to find her voice, and as Brad paused for a reply she said, hoarsely : "I intend to tell you, Mr. Harper, that I shall leave Smoky City as soon as you aro able to take the helm again." Brad telt the tear's rush to his eve. "Brute," he called himself, under leis breath, but even then he could not re list teasing Miss 1Cingslny: "Don't call me Mr. Harper. Can't vou think of something more tender? I much rirefer 'Brad, darling.' He threw down the pencil and knife and tried to take Miss Kiugsley's hand, but it was snatched away- from him. "I think it is my turn now. Virginia -let me think of something less formal -Virginia, darling, you are not going away if I have influence with you." Miss Kingsley rose and gathered up the papers. "I will take these edito- rials and send over tor the others. Mr. Harper, 1 did as sou say I did the night you were hurt ; 1 do not attempt to deny it. 1 am sorry that I had no more self control. I ata surprised, though, that you find so much amusement in throw- ing my folly in my face." Brad's face was very grave as he an- swered. "I am a brute. Virginia Kingsley -I almost said Harper-1"love you. I should have said so like a man at first, but was sure that you knew my feeling for you. and I did enjoy teasing you a little. Forgive me ! I am going to marry you as soon as I am well, if You will have Inc.""You say this because you aro sorry for mc. You think I -love you bccauFe-I acted so that night, and you aro trying o sacrifice yourself to my self respect." "I would not do that even for you, Kingsley. If you doubt me, go into the text room and find a letter in the left hand desk drawer, addressed to your- self, and notice the date. Please go and find that letter, I bei." She was gone a long time. At last Brad called out : "Haven't vou found it yet? You have boon gone long enough o read all my private papers. I sup- pose you have a right to my secrets now. Oh, Virginia, do cornu here. 1 hall come ntter you unless you hurry." Miss Kingsley put the letter in the breastpocket oi' her jacket and buttoned he jacket tightly; then sho went into he sitting room. "Do you believe me now,dear? I found t several weeks ago that the platonic business had come to an end and we tad to begin on at new basis. So let's form a new partnership now. Colne here, Kingsley,"stretching out his hand. 'Kingsley," he pleaded, as she still held aloof, "I hope you don't think that Tet- er a fake. I tell you, on my honor,that wrote that letter asking you to marry me the day 1 was hurt. )o you believe ine?" • .,,r • 4 r,' , ' 0 . n J AY. ,t,4.4 ala .4!1nW.Ak, applied them to the sufferer's nose. Only for a Moment, though, for the salts fell on the floor, and she was held fast. "It was a mean advantage to take," said Brad a moment later, laughing tri- umphantly. "but what else could 1 do ? And truly that foot did make me wince a little. Don't try to look so severe, Kingsley. I know you are not half so angry as you try to appear. Now go into the next room again and find a lit- tle box in the lower right Multi drawer of the desk and bring it to me." Virginia obeyed and then straighten- ed her hat before the mirror. "It is scandalously late, nearly noon," she said, ''and press day too. I have ever so many galleys of copy here, to say nothing of the editorial which you did not write." "Bother the paper. Its editors do not become engaged every day. Come here, Kingsley, and let me see how this ring fits." "He buys a solitaire," she said saucily. "Independent stock must have taken a sudden rise," "Don't be impertinent, child. It was my mother's ring. She told me to keep it for my wife. I think she would like you. Kingsley. Give me your hand, quick. It is time for my lunch, and I think I hear Mrs. Smart coining. A perfect tit. You ought to kiss me for it." "Do you see what the clock tells? Where did I put my glasses? ()h, here they are. Good morning, Mr. Harper." Smoky City has tilled the predictions of the most hopeful boomers. It is a thriving city now. The Independent is the leading newspaper, and its editor is a rich mail. Mrs. Bradley Harper keeps her carriage, and no longer wears an ink stain on the index finger of her right hand. "Mrs. Harper," her hus- band calls her very properly in com- pany, but in private he always addresses her as "Kingsley." -Adelaide lionise, in Philadelphia Press. 11 lie Ir,•astof the (.t Is. t They were having a sociable five o'nlook tea, Those good Indica, caparisoned richly and fair, And their gossip wax Bowing unbridled and free As the beverage sipp'd with the viands so rare.

The editor of the rival paper sid- ed with the popular party and wrote of- fensive editorials concerning "our es- teemed contemporary" and his policy. To these Brad responded in dignified paragraphs and stated a few facts anent The Banner man which cut him keenly h because they were strictly true. He hinted to some of his henchmen that 1f I anything should happen to "lay up" the editor of The Independent till the cam- paign was over it would be the salve- t tion of their cause. One evening when Brad returned late a from the office he was conscious that t some one was following him. As ho turned to see who his shadow was, he t was struck on the head and kuocked 1 down. At the same moment a fillet or two were fired from the opposite side of the street. It was in a lonely part of the town, but a crowd soon gathered, t "Good girl.

"Then, by all that is aggravating, why don't you take nine know?" asked Brad, making frantic efforts to reach er, But she moved away, "Oh, dear was ever a man so shamefully used f it were not for that gunshot wound !

She would have been a very good "new woman" had disposition and ap- pearance not been against her. She was determined and strong•ininded and she could m'hke a good speech, but the au- dience was generally taken up by the I dimple in her chin and forgot to listen to the eloquence she was pouring forth. She had a broad, intellectual brow, but one's attention was distracted from it to ' the dark, delicately -penciled eyebrows. She wore divided skirts sometimes and then one wondered why all women didn't do so. Shp had helped to down the Tiger and she used to denounce him until her eyes flashed like splintered sapp:lires and her cheeks shone like the tint of wild roses and then, instead of applauding her, her audience would put itis arm around the feminine politician's waist and by that superior strength which even she admitted made man su- perior to woman would kiss her. She didn't -approve of it, but she had given him the right to it on that unfortunate day when, as she often said, she had handicapped her career by marrying him. "Whatever -whatever did I do it for ?" she would say when a messenger would come through the rain and ask her to go to Yelland hall, and he ould forbid her to endanger jun by going. But he knew her, and just smiled, Ono night he cams home to dinner late. The table was set with the usual dainty china, but there was no sign of ' dinner. The maid told him that mad- ' ame could not wait, she had to deliver her speech, site would request him to call -for her at 10. The strong minded woman's husband sat (town. "And your mistress had no dinner?" he asked. "None. She had not time," He seated himself with a newspaper and a pipe in one corner of the little library, end compared himself -with a ' grim i -mile -to a motherless lamb, a stepchild, an advanced man who staved at borne while his wife did the work. Then he went to hed. She arrived at 11. She had waited ' nearly an hour for him and finally trudged home in the teeth of the wind alone. She woke him to scold him be- tween reproaches and sobs, and he only relied over and snored, and then she stamped her foot and said she hated him. "1 0u treat me as if -you -did," way the sleepy rejoinder.. The next day she had a bad cold and stayed in bed, and lie was very nice and attentive, but he didn't came hone to dinner, seeming to entirely forget that it was the night they usually went to the theatre. She dined alone, and between solilo- quies addressed the coffo,1 pot. "He is horrible ! All husbands are horrible ! Men are animals !" The coffee pot's contents bubbled an amiable assent. ' "And 1 wish I were dead 1" continued I the lady, who was eating lettuce salad and tomatoes at 75 cents a head. "We have been married a year and - and he used to be so sympathetic -was - is -sympathetic. And now, when I am bending all my energies to making this a pure city and a free country for him to live in -to keep his wife in -he abuses me 1 They say women ought to stay at home ! Stay at home with a brute like that 1 Stay at home with a creature who abuses you instead of trying to purify and reform politics, which these men who are our husbands have degraded? A pretty role indeed for a woman of mind and character !" and the golden head was tossed do- fiantly. The silver coffee pot caught the re- flection and attracted her attention. "1 woad wo to know," the continu- ed, tailwiutly, as she Iook(d down int her reflection, "If i ata not a more iilrepossessing person to told office than -titan any politician wll.o has a red thee and a board and chews tobaccou:sh!" And site !Wished her dinner in silence. She recollected as she rose froin the table that the last time Fred had brought htlrne theatre tickets she Iutd gone to a winuau'd club instead. . Fred did not come hone, at all that night, and a frantic woman with sap- phire eyes and tremulous lips s alt tele weenie in every direction, dispatched messengers to the police stations au(1 calmed her cook o c a severe attack of ner- veu- prostration by insisting on her ac- companying her to the Morgue. It was a great club day. Sorosis met; a federation of women's societies was foruted; the Study Association gave a tea and a political lecture class completely collapsed because she, its tutor, did not arrive. For once, ever since she was a girl, the ot'ganizatiens missed her, confusion reigned supremo in her household, and by night she was a mental' and physical wreck.

"That will teach shim a lesson ! What selfish things these' men are ! Nev,:r to take me to the theatre, but to go and buy a country house simply because 110 likes the country ! Well, I don't !" Probably it was six weeks after the country house had been put in order. A Sunday --a frosty Sunday. The rosy - checked maid swept the. dinner dishes off the table, brushed up the hearth and disappeared. The master of the man- sion stood by the window smoking. The naked houghs of the trees beat against eacli other in the strong wind, the neat garden showed signs of care, though winter had robbed it of flowers and green. Up the road toiled a dark figure, the figure of a wotnan, which made the master of the house start.

What must l put with cob meal and bran to mance a balanced ratio for cows in milk? It I use ground •oats, what proportion of eaebe.�t,; td how much per cow per day?" Thu director of the Vermont experimental station says corn meal or cob meal, bran and ground oats have nutritive ratios of 1 to 9.5, 4.5 and 6 respectively. The rougltr feeds usually raised in Vermont, other than clovers, have a nutritive ratio greater than 1 to 6. Investigations have shown that a nutritive ratio of 1 to 5 fits American conditions for feeding milch cows more closely than any her. "Nu moteaning the proportion of digestible tritive ratio is a scientific term ' protein or flesh forming parts to the digestible carbo -hydrates or heat pro- ducing nutrients. "It would be possible to combine a ra- tion consisting largely of clover hay and the above-named grains which would be close to the above ratio of 1 to 6. If much corn fodder or corn ensilage or other rough feed is feed, it will be ne- cessary to and to the grand ration in or- der to make a nutr•ititive ratio of 1 to 6 some concentrated meal such as cotton- seed, linseed or gluten. It is impossible to strictly lay down a proper ration without a full knowledge of the rough - ages at hand, yet probably if three parts cob meal, three parts bran and two parts of some concentrated meal or mix- ture of concentrated meals aro fed with the ordinary Vermont farm ration of course foods, the resulting combination will not be material.), wider than 1 to 6. Oats aro good, make fine butter, but aro more ezpensive than any other of the more concentrated meals. The amounts of grain which may be fed with greatest profit to a cow cannot be stated offhand. It depends on the individuality of the cow." Green Cut bone for Eggs. One of the most attractive fowls in creation is the hen. if she is not as beautiful as a bird of paradise, she. is twice as interesting, and like a neat lookiig housewife with bib apron, she' is suggestive of good things in the pan- . try. especially eggs. What is a hen without eggs,\a pump- kin without a pie, a mother without a baby? A hen above all things is an egg producer, and no invention of man will ever improve on her patent. She has, however, in the past been sadly neglected and, although she seldom is, she can be made the most profitable creature on the farm. Left to herself, she will lay a certain nuinber of eggs during the year, but not one-fourth as many as when properly fed and taken care of. It is from her eggs and chick- ens we must look for profit. She will lav welLif provided with suitable food, but this is not found in sufficient quan- tity in the different grains and ordinary foods that she gets. There is, however, a substance found in every household that contains a com- plete hen food, and that is fresh, green, raw bone, as it conies from the market. To be sure this bone must be reduced to a proper size and this, some would say, takes too much time and labor perhaps so, but this valuable fond is all - there, when you have got it. You have in it all the elements of the egg and • chicken in just the right proportion, which is not found in any other prepara- tions of food. Antiseptic Mouthpiece for'Phones.
