A PLANTATION IDYLL
It was good to be back on .the old
piece. The soft crooning of the pines
ear they swayed in the wind, the aromatio
Refine of the Soft carpet of pine needles
under the great trees, the lazy drone of
the insects and the chattering of the
• squirrels in the swamp nto far off were
all infinitely soothing to Robert McAllis-
ter, as he loitered along under the thick
shade.
le was the first time he had been back
to Ilia Georgia home since the day, twen-
ty years before, an eager boy, ho had
fone to the great northern city to seek
ame and fortune.
He had found both. His (ante as a
great lawyer had reached beyond the
confines of his adopted State, .Iis party
had called him to public service, his two
terms in Congress had added to Iris fame
ante higher honors were before him.
For the first time in years be had al-
lowed himself a rest, and was taking it
on the old plantation,
Father Time had' been busy, even in
this out-of-the-way place, and so far as
human companionship was concerned Mc-
Allister had Lound himself a stranger at
the old place. 1L had made his presence
known to none of the neighbors.
His thoughts ae he wandered Aimless-
ly among the pines were with the old
times.
It was with a start he came back to
the present Ytnd realized be was not alone
on the woodland road. Approaching him
was a woman. The old-fashioued sun-
bonnet prevented him from seeing whe-
ther she was homely or pretty.
As he stepped aside to permit her to
pass she raised her head and in a low,
sweet voice thanked him. He caught a
glimpse of the face under the sunbonnet
and started. .
Surely a sweeter face had never charm-
ed the eye of man; eyes of deepest blue,
Ci> under a broad white brow, with just a
shadow of rippling golden brown hair,
checks with the blush of the rose, a small
but square chin, and mouth aiid nose as
delicate as artist could imagine.
McAllister turned and watched the
slim figure as it passed rapidly through
the woods. When he resumed his way
homeward his thoughtswere riot of the
long ago.
For several days he pondered over that
face in the woods, and the determination
grew within him that he would know
her,
He had a hesitancy in seeking infor-
mation from "Mammy," the old negro
woman who was keeping house for him,
and was at a loss to find a way to dis-
cover the identity of the young girl.
At last memory came to his rescue. In
a backwoods settlement like this, where
diversion are few, the monthly visit of
the "circuit" rider is an event, and few
there be, young or old, who are absent
from "meetings.'
McAllister found that there were to
be services at Zion meeting house the
next Sunday and was there,
The advent of a handsome, well-dress-
ed stranger at worship created a sensa-
tion, for strangers were few in the set -
Cement.
McAllister felt throughout the services
. that he was dividing attention with Un -
ole "Billy' Ransome, who for a :more of
years had been preaching at "Zion."
Hardly had the strains of Ohl Hundred
died away and the benediction been spok-
en when Old Man Dupree, Ieading man
In, and spokesman for, the community,
approached McAllister.
"Morning, stranger," he said. "Fine
day.
ouldn't be finer," replied Bob.
"And what might your name be?"
"Robert McAllister."
"Any kin to old Colonel Bob McAllis-
ter?" •
"His son."
"You don't mean to say that you are
little Bob who went off North? You are?
Why, on, I'm as glad. to see you as if
I'd stuck a nail in my foot. Conte on and
let me introduce you to the folks."
In a few minutes McAllister felt as
though he had in truth fallen among
friends. Polished man of the world as he
was, he was uneasy as he watched for
the little lady of the pines.
At last Old Man Dupree led him to a
little group of women, and in the midst
of the group he saw the face for which he
was looking, As their eyes met she flush-
ed slightly, but there was no trace of
etnbarrassmeut as she held out iter hand,
as McAllister'a mentor said: "Robert,
this is my daughter, Emmfe. You will
hardly remember her, as she had hardly
reached the pinafore ago when you left
us." Turning to the girl he said.:
"Daughter, this ie the prodigal son of
our old neighbor, Colonel McAlIister.
Now that his father has gone, we must
kill the fatted calf for him, Robert, you
must eat with ua to -day."
It did not take much persuasion to in-
duce the acceptance of the invitation.
McAllister was as nearly happy as a
man can bo as he tucked the lap robe
about Ernuiie Dupree and started for the
Dupree plantation.
Never had be exerted greeter powers
to capture a jury or to turn a hostile.

during the five -mile drive through th
fragrant pines to the Dupree home.
The next three weeks passed with

Allister like a beautiful dream. Karel

home, 'and he was welcome to all, from

To the delight of the man, however, h

by this time possessed his whole min

"Miss Emmie," he said, "it was just

flushed slightly.

iHIS CROP IS TREES.
THE FORESTER AIMS TO PRODUCE
TREES AS GRAIN IS PRODUCED.
"A farmer whose crop is trees" has
been aptly suggested as a definition of
a forester. Careful consideration of the
definition will go far toward removing
the haze under which the terms "for-
estry" and "forester" lie in the average
mind:.
The farmer's aim hi his work is dis-
tinctly utilitarian, and the same is true
of the forester. In raising a field of
wheat the fanner pays an exceedingly
small amount of attention to the aes-
thetic side of the situation; it doesn't
matter to him whether the field of
wheat looks pretty or not. What ho
wants is to bring the wheat to maturity
and then harvest it and get it away to
the mill or the elevator. He can't afford
to leave it jus• because he thinks it is
pretty.
Now apply the definition to the for-
ester. Put trees in the place of wheat.
The forester is raising trees to supply
demand for timber, just as the farmer
is raising wheat to supply it demand for
breadstuffs. The aesthetic side of the
situation may appeal to him, but at the
same time he must recognize that the
aesthetic side is entirely subordinate,
and that his object is to supply the de-
mand for lumber.
Forestry is the care of forest trees un-
der forest conditions. The care of shade
trees does not eome under forestry at
all. True, trees used as shade trees are
usually forest trees; but no one who has
been in a forest will for a moment main-
tain that they are growing under forest
conditions. The care of shade trees i$
arboriculture, and the arborieulturist is
seeking to produce beauty of form in the
tree, while the foiccster is after a long
trunk, clear of branches, which will pro.
duce the Iargest possible amount of tisu-
ber.
While the forester's nianagcnient has
utilitarian ends, still the forest, under
his management, will eontinue to be the
thing of beauty it has exec been. The
visitor will continue to find there rest
aid recreation, and it will etill remain
the ]tome of the wild game, just as the

the world—are now. Belt the crop of

REMNANT OF GREAT TRIBES. tion,--Uayton Optimist.
Connecticut Has a Settlement of the
Schagticaokes Near Trent.
Among the last remnants of the Indian
tribes once inhabiting Connecticut are
the Schagticookes, living within the bor-
ders of the town of Kent, not far front
the New York line, where they have ex-
isted for nearly 200 years. There aro
twenty-five of them not on their reser-
vation, and it is supposed that there may
be three times as many more scattered
about the State. Those who are left are
half-breeds or quarter -breeds. Their
business affairs are eared for by Fred. R.
Lane, their overseer, leaving them free
to spend their time in hunting, fishing or
making baskets.
The story of the Schagticookes is that
of nearly all Indian tribes. But once in
their history were they oppressed, and
then not by Connecticut men. The tribe
was formed of the wreckage of once pow-
erful bands and dates well back into the
eighteenth century, when a Pequot, Gid-
eon Mauwehu, founded it. This Indian,
who was evidently a man of more than
ordinary ability, once lived in Derby,
and he first appears in Connecticut re-
cords as being one of thirteen Indians
who in 1:20 sold a section of land, then
a part of the town of New Fairfield, to
a few white men for £65, the land thus
transferred comprising what is now the
town of Sherman. Mauwehu then went
acros the line into New York and re-
mained for a short time, when he chanc-
ed to stray into the hills now prominent
in the town of Kent, and caught the idea
of forming a settlement there.
Mauwehu then gathered to himself a
crowd of Indians, some being, it is sure
posed, of his own tribe, some Mohegans
from the Hudson valley, and most of the
Waramaugs from New Milford, until
probably upward of 200 settled with him

Useful Hints.
Most fashionable . 'women now send
their furs to a cold•storage warehouse
when it is time to put then out of the
way of the destructive moth, for, be-
sides being an absolute preventive of the
ravages of that post, the cold -storage
treatment retains in perfection the soft
gloss Which adds so ninth to the value of
furs.
A very pretty and inexpensive eover
for a dining -table when not in use is
made of a dull shade of green burlap,
the four corners being adorned with
i three large disks, embroidered solid with
green couching silk, and just a glimmer
of gilt thread to add to the richness.
Glass pitchers with silver lid* are to
be reconmended to all pereofs 'who are
in the habit of having drinking water
in their rooms overnight, for it is well
known that standing water absorbs
many impurities from the surrounding
air.

Beef in Ladysmith wwa almost an ex•
tinct item, Colonel Ward and his mune-
tants at the commissariat realized that
they should soon be obliged to feed the
garrison and the inhabitants of the town
on horseflesh and in order to break the
foot as delicately me posaibls he gave
a dinner party. The headquarter* stff,
the principal townsfolk and one or two
newspaper men were invited.
Before the soup bad been disposed of
Ward remarked on the scarceness of
beef, and announced that before long
he would have to slaughter the troop
horses for food. "But," continued the
subtle host, "horse le not half bad when
properly cooked and when or.. is used
to it. In fact, I have a joint cooked to-
night, which I hope lyou will all sam-
ple. Of course, there'a beat. too,— 10 -
Everyone at the table preferred the
beef with the exception of Colonels
Ward and Ian Hamilton, who ostenta-
tiously carved generous slices from the
"horseflesh." The dinner was nearly over,
when one of the servants whispered a
communication to V4krd. Up he sprang.
"I'm distressed, gentlemen," he .an,-
nouneed to the startled company. "A sil-
ly mistake bas been made, Those joints
were mixed up somehow and you have
been eating the horse! I'm really an-
noyed. But I hope you'll be convinced
now that the meat its apleudid dating.
I'm sure you all seemed to enjoy It!"
Glances were exchanged; mustaches were
twirled. Nobody seemed
ready with a
re-
sponse.
Then a voice from the .bottom of the
table piped up: "Oh, don't distreee your-
self, Ward. I thought some mistake had
been made; so I just changed those dish-
es as they stood on the sideboard. It
was you and Hamilton had the horse-
flesh all right!"—Modern Society.
