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.

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. political audienee than he did to snake en impression on that little country girl during the five -mile drive through th fragrant pines to the Dupree home. The next three weeks passed with Mc Allister like a beautiful dream. Karel diel ho lack an excuse to visit the Dupre home, 'and he was welcome to all, from the gray-haired, hard-headed father an placid, hard-working mother, to tis youngest children. To the delight of the man, however, h saw that he was greeted with rising colo mid sweet shyness by the girl who ha by this time possessed his whole min and heart. The time carne at last when rest mus end and the duties of life must be take up. It was a crisp, bright Novembe Sunday, this last Sunday that McAllister was to spend in Georgia. There was t be preaching again at Zion, and Ennui Dupree, had agreed to go to meeting wit They did not go the direct road, b when McAllister turned the horse's hea into a neighboring road the girl sal nothing. They had been silent for sora minutes. McAllister checked up the horse sud- denly. "Miss Emmie," he said, "it was just here, a month ago, that the greatest thing in my life happened," The girl started, looked about her and flushed slightly. "Yes," continued the marc, "it was here I first saw the only woman in the world for me. I have brought her here to (rear her pronounce my fate; to tel me whether I inn the happiest or the most miserable of men." He looked at her flushed face. she was silent.

HAVE NEW SEISMIC THEORY. British Naturalists Ascribe Quakes t Rearrangement of Earth's Axis, Apropos of the Jamaican earthquake it may be recalled that Professor John Milnes, the great English seismic author ity, has duan Y, advanced a theory to accoun for recent disturbances of this character manifested here and abroad in various parts of the world. This theory has been held tenable by Sir Norman Lockyer and Professor Archonbold. Professor 11SiInee declares that the disturbances are due not to a merely normal readjustment o the earth's strata or to the shifting o the surface to meet a gradual contract ing of the surface to meet a gradual con traction in the size of the globe, but ar Paused by displacement of the globe it- self from its true •axis and are really due to the jar incident to the subsequent swing back of the earth upon that true axis, It is conceivable that such a return movement to the axis as well as the ori- inal distortion would cause a tremen- dous strain upon the crust and could eas• ly account for the most terrific seismic onvulsions imaginable, Sir Norman Lockyer declares further that the deviation from the true axis is de to the great sunspots which recently ent more energy to the earth than at ny other time during the thirty -fire ears' sunspot period` and which, through he great differences in the eorrespond- ng temperatures, caused the formation f vast ice masses at one or the other of he poles of such weight that the dis- ortion takes place, to be subsequently emedied by other variations.—Pldladel- t1�eRe 1DeF 60VFRNINT AND ,SAM-RUK. r f e , SURVEY OUT FROM FORT WILLIAM ' TAKES A SUPPLY PF THIS USEFUL BALM.

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 German forests—the best managed in the world—are now.

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 in the Kent hills, where they deemed the white han would not come. Hardly had they established themselves there before they were found by those inveterate mis- sionaries, the Moravian, who labored faithfully among them, the leader of the mission band being Christian Henry Rauch, who in due time converted Mau- wehu and upward of 150 others.—Hart- ford Courant. .
