Havana, June 15.— The city waa 

startled and alarmed Saturday night at 

nine o'clock by the noise of two sue 

tessive explosions which shook tho 

ground for a long distance and was 

heard for several miles. Consternation 

prevailed for a time, as it was feared 

that this was a prelude to an attack or 

a series of similar explosions. Excited 

throngs rushed to the streets, while an 

armed party proceeded in the direction 

from which the detonations had been 

heard. 

Water Sapply Damaged. 

It was soon found that the atone 

bridges of Christina and Concha and 

the aqueduct of Fernando Septimo 

were the points that had suffered from 

the dynamite. The bridges were partially 

destroyed and the pipes on the 

aqueduct upon which the city IB dependent 

for its water supply, were 

much damaged. It cannot yet be stated 

how extensive is the damage done or 

how long it will require to remedy it. 

There is no doubt that the dynamite 

which caused this wreck was placed by 

agents of the insurgents. It has been 

their determination, announced some 

time since, to cut off the water supply 

of Havana and so serve to moke it as 

nearly uninhabitable as possible.

Isaac Maynard, former judge of the 

court of appeals and ex-attorney-general,

Kenmore Friday afternoon from heart 

trouble. He was alone in his room and

health. Judge Maynard was appointed 

to the court of appeals January 19,1892,

the democratic nominee for judge of the 

court of appeals two years ago he was 

the object of bitter opposition on account 

of his ruling in a contested dec 

tion case in the early part of his judicial 

career^ r.nd which was alleged to have 

been unfair. He was defeated at the 

polls.

Of Mercnry! 

Mr. Henry Roth, of 1848 South 9th 

Street, St. Louis, was given the usual 

mercurial treatment for contagious 

blood poison. He was twice pronounc- 

ed cured, but the disease relurnedeach 

time, he was seized with rheumatic 

pains, andêd lumps and sores cov- 

ered his body. 

"I was in a hor- 

rible fix" he 

says, "and the 

more treat- 

ment I receiv- 

ed, the worse I 

seemed to get. 

A New York 

specialist said 

he could cure 

me, but his 

treatment did 

me no good 

whatever. I waa stiff and full of 

pains, my left arm was useless so 

that I was unable to do even the 

lightest work. This was my condition 

when I began to take S. S. S., and a 

few bottles convinced me that I was 

being benefitted. I continued the 

medicine, and one dozen bottles cured 

me sound and well. My system was 

under the effects of mercury, and I 

would soon have been a complete 

wreck but for S. 8. S."

the home of George Bartlett in South 

Lowell, When found the hind wheel of 

hu wagon wan resting on his neck and 

one of his arms was broken, and the 

wagon was wedged between a tree and 

the fenoe. No one witnessed the acci- 

dent and only inferences can he given, 

but from appearances he had been 

thrown the wagon and clinging to one 

rem had turned them into the fence. It 

in probable, from the extent aud loca- 

tion ot hia injuries, that death waa in- 

stantaubous. He was not known to 

tho»e who found him and a young man 

on a bicycle, who followed the wagon 

track back to his home, broke the news 

to lhe family. His aged mother was 

prostrated from the shock. The funeral 

waa from hia late home Friday after- 

noon and waa largely attended. 

Hamilton Whedon nnd hia wife were 

driving into the village last Wednesday 

afternoon and when near the J. E Lee 

slaughter house they met Mr and Mrs 

T. B. James, who were driving home. 

Mr James' horse became frightened and 

jumped sideways, tipping the buggy 

over and throwing Mr and Mrs James 

out; this frightened Mr Whedon's horse 

and it ran an-ay, throwing Mr and Mrs 

W. out, breaking Mr Ws collarbone 

and injuring Mrs W. quite severely in- 

ternally. Mr and Mrs Jamrs were quite 

badly shaken up but not seriously in- 

jured. 

When Mrs Arthur N, WhHa and little 

daughter, Ethel, were refusing home 

from the village last Wednesday after- 

noon their horre became frightened and 

ran away. Mrs White jumped from the 

buggy just as the horse broke loo-e from 

it, and was quite badly shaken up,- but 

little Ethel received no injuries. The 

harness was wrecked and the buggy 

badly broken. 

The Drs. Leo spent last week at Hotel 

Iriah and treated many patients. They

would get along better. His "cure for

he accounts for every cent he haa han-

HON. JAMES O'UONNEL is making 

many friends in his cavass for the

majority of the Republicans of this sec-

ahonld go to Mr Jewell. He has be« n

but with any mstteis which may come 

before him. He is one of Kent county's 

brightest young lawyers and no one will 

say that he is not thorouKhly compet- 

ent to fill the position. He is young, 

only twenty-nine years old, but surely 

that is no bar to ibe position he seeks

next January, 

Puebia was settled in 1532 by fifty 

families of spaniards who came from 

Tlaxcala, its original name being "Pu- 

ebia de los Angeles." Of course the 

legends of the city gave It a supernat- 

ural origin. The story is that Fray 

Julian Garces, had a visioa of a place to 

build a city ai> a resting place between 

the City of Mexico and the coast and in 

tbe vision he saw a beautiful plain with 

two hills, and plenty of springs, and two 

rivers, giving plenty of water; there 

were trees and flowera and two great 

volcanoes. While he looked two angels 

came and laid out streets and squares 

locating the churches and in fact giving 

him a complete plan of the city. The 

good Bishop immediately set out on 

j >urney for this beautiful land, guided 

by the same mysterious power of his 

drpam. and when he came to the plain 

of his vision he said; "Here hath the 

Lord, through his angels, shown me the 

site of the city, and to His glcy it 

ahall be made." The other legend tells 

of a vision of angels marshalling above 

the plain and it was from this the city 

received its name. 

Puebia has had its place in the history 

of the country; founded In lft23 ita life 

was peaceful until the revolution by 

which Spain's yoke was thrown off. 

During these wars for freedom, it suf- 

fered most of any city next to the cap- 

itol. In 1821 the revolutionists under 

Iturbide, captured the city after a ter- 

riffic battle, During lhe war between 

this country. General Scott occupied 

the city. In the ffchts aRainst the 

French. Zaragoza captured the c'ty but 

was only able to hold it two weeks, but 

four years later. General Porfirio Dtaz 

won a decisive victory and drove them 

out altogether. It was at the fort of 

Guadalupe, outside the city limits thes*' 

fights took place and General Z-tragoza 

with only 2,000 men defeated the French 

army of 6,000 and at the time of Gen. 

Diaz's victory he CHptured the entire 

gitrrison. The fort h^re was the ruins 

of the churrh of Guadalupe, while half 

a mile north, is the fort of Cenco de 

Mayo, The view from these hills is of 

great beauty; the four great volcanoes. 

Popocatapetl, Ixtacclhuatl, Malintzi and 

Orizaba, snow capped and grand in the 

warm tropical sunshine, while nearer 

are the lesser mountains, Tecoloti, Cerro 

del Conde, Amaluoa, Loreto, and the 

Cerro del San Juan with its arched ha- 

cienda and the wonderful pyramid of 

Cholula in the distance. And churches, 

Puebia, like every other Mexican city 

has churches innmerable, only here 

they are more beautiful, with their high 

arched, tiled doorways, and beautiful 

domes. In every other city they are a 

brownish grey, but here they are of 

pronounced colors and in the beantilul 

clear atmosphere andwith the sun light, 

which only Puebia has, they present a 

beautiful picture when looked upon 

from some high point of vantage, Sao 

Augustin is white; San Jose, red: San 

Crestobal, nd; Concepcion, brown; San 

Domingo, white; Santa Teresa, yellow; 

•San Angel de Analco, red; Carmen, yel- 

low: Compania, blue; Soledad, white; 

San Francisco, grey; and the Cathedral 

a brownish grey. We only visited one 

church, the cathedral, and here we 

were right rojally entertained by the 

priests in charge. 

The cathedral is in every way su- 

perior 10 that of the City of Mexico, ex- 

cept in size. It was begun in 1C36 and 

completed and consecrated in 16J9. 

The towers contain eighteen bells, tbe 

largest of which weighs over 20,000 Ibe. 

The great alter com-umed thirty years 

in building and is constructed of every 

kind of Mexican marble and the superb 

onyx of Puebia. Beneath this altar is 

the tombs of the bishops also construc 

ted of onyx. In the Sacrirty are many 

fine pictures set in golden carved frames. 

The tables have exquisite slabs of onyx 

while the vestment chests are elaborate 

ly carved. Here also are two heauOful 

chairs and seven large rich tapestries, of 

Flanders, presented to this church by 

Charles V. We were taken into the 

ma^nifiecnt choir, an unusual honor: 

Queretnro. though many things, carious 

to ue, are offered for sale. Some of our 

party bought mats and baskels of col- 

ored straw, crude crockery, of native 

manufacture, clay figures and Indian 

carvings in onyx. The parka and 

plazas are beautiful with their trees, 

flowers and fountains. The buildings 

are pretention*, and while built in 

purely Mexican style, are two and three 

stories high. 

Puebia is mainly noted for its beau 

tiful tiles and magnificent onyx. Tiles 

are used everywhere and for every pur- 

pose: the domes, walls and floors, of 

churches are built of them; the outside 

and inside walls of houses are adorned 

with glazed tiles of many colors and 

hues which glisten beautifully in the 

eun, and looking down on the city as 

we approach across the plain, the tiled 

roofs, domes and towers produce a meat 

picturesque effect. The onyx of Puebia 

Is famed the world over for its fine 

grain and high coloring. We visited 

the principal shop for its sale and saw 

it in its finest shapes; immense slabs for 

table covers; hand bnclns and slabs for 

lavatories, plaques, medallions, beautiful 

fancy tablets of exquisite workmanship 

and a most acconmdating shop keeper, 

who informed us that if we bought any- 

thing they would make a bill for half 

the amount actually paid by which we 

could swindle poor old Uncle Sam out 

of half of his duty, but even with this 

magnificent Inducement, our party 

didn't invest very heavily, and those 

who did Invest didn't take advantage 

of the offer made. 

More serapes were boueht than any- 

thing else. The guide whom the Mexi- 

can Railway Co. sent with our parly, 

wanted to put In his whole time at the 

onyx store, so we who wanted serapes, 

started out alone to find them and after 

rustliuR around in the most villamour 

part of the city for half an hour we 

found a place where the were on sale 

and bought a half a dozen. T * 0 of the 

boys immediately put theirs on to be 

come accustomed to them. Our success 

m finding serapes gave us confidencc 

aud we went after some native sandals 

but were not fortunate in this, ho wever 

the hunt was not without some benefit, 

for the awkward manner in which the 

boys wore their serapes amused the 

Mexicans and some taking pity on them 

showed them the proper way of putting 

them on and the only way to keep them 

on, so we returned to the cars in true 

Mexican style with sombreros and sera- 

pes and were received with vociferous 

applause. 

Here at Puebia the Methodist Episco 

pal church haa a missionary college 

where they are educating young Mexi - 

cans for the ministry. The church and 

school are centrally located in fine build* 

ings and tbe college has over six hun- 

dred students. The protestants are get- 

ting quite a foothold in Mexico and the 

government fosters and encourages 

them aa it fears the church party in poli 

tics. It was on account of the revolu- 

tion Incited by the JesuUs, that the 

laws abolishing all leligions orders were 

passed, and today you may travel over 

the length and breadth of Mexico, and 

though it is the greatest catholic coun- 

try in the western hemisphere, and not 

meet one sister of charity. No religious 

orders are allowed to exist and there i 

encouragement given to the protestante, 

I presume, on the theory of fighting fire 

with fire, to keep the church party busy 

holding their members in tbe faith.

After twelve years of careful prepara-

People's Bible History - " has just appear- 

ed from the press of the Henry O. Shep 

ard Company, Chicago, and has beeu 

welcomed unqualifiedly by tbe press 

the pulpit and the people. It ia superb 

ly printed and bound, and its many 

illustrations are exquisite m conception 

and detail. Eighteen specialists of 

world wide renown have concentrated 

their power in tbe writing of this great 

book. Of tbe introduction by the Right 

Honorable William E. Gladstone, Rev. 

H. W. Bolton, D. D , of Chicago, says: 

The introduction itself is worth the 

price of the book, written by one whose 

utterances are from the deepest wells of 

thought. His rare experiences have 

given bim authority to speak concern- 

ing the greatest book of tbe world—the 

Word of Life " 

No one should be without this moat 

important work, which ie sold by sub- 

scription only in several styles of bind- 

ing. The "popular edition" of 928 pages 

will undoubtedly be the work that will 

meet the most popular demand, hut to 

satisfy thoee who desire a handsome 

form the publishers have produced an 

edition de luxe containing 1,283 pages 

and 200 full page Illustrations and maps. 

The latter is said to be a wonder in 

modern bookmaking, and is pronounced 

the finest work of tbe kind ever printed.

T n planning a brocade skirt let it 

h«»e two bodices—one, say, of cloth in 

coat style that will open over either an 

elaborate or a severe waistcoat, the oth- 

er a low neck affair of some shade found 

in tho brocade, says a practical woman. 

Then you will have a cloth skirt to go 

with the coat, and when the coat is thus 

worn it will of course bo used with the 

Beverity waistcoat, resulting in a tailor, 

simple gown. Meantime the low neck 

bodice will be as suited to a skirt to 

match as 11 will to the brocade skirt, 

and used in tne former way will create 

a second evening gown. Yon will em- 

ploy black as much as possible, and the 

short, black satin skirt will have a high 

necked bodice made elaborate by a wide 

sailor collar of lace that will go equally 

well with various othor gowns. This 

will also have a low cut bodice that 

may be woru simply or rendered elab-

Up to Hie moment when tlie comple- 

tion of the nrrnngements for the cup- 

turc of the conRpirufors had begun to 

cancel the factor of excitement, Rlng- 

hrand had not reflected upon the pe- 

culiarly trying nature of the test he 

bad proposed for himself. When the 

plan had suggested Itself, he hod wel- 

comed It gladly, hurrying forward to 

Its culmination with the eager Impa- 

tience of one who imagines he sees the 

turning-point of his life In the perspec- 

tive and runs Impetuously to double It. 

After he had taken his poKition under 

the oak. however, the SUSIHMISC, and the 

darkness and silence df the night, be- 

gan to dampen the flreof enthufdnsii; 

the flood-tide of excitement turned and 

ebbed slowly away; and the heroic re- 

quirements of the part he had volun- 

teered to take In the approaching 

drama stood out In vivid and disconcert- 

ing relief. Common sense awoke and 

demanded a reason for the hazardous 

plan, pointing the linger of ridicule at 

the melodramatic stupe setting, and 

suggesting that nothing had been omit- 

ted save a calcium light to be flashed 

upon the scene at the critical moment, 

lie saw the absurdity of it all. and how 

much more sensible it -would have been 

i to take Ludlow's suggestion, surround- 

ing the house with a posse of nrmed 

men whose numbers would have mad 

of horses time to yield to a sudden im- j 

pulpe born of n desire to know if hi* I

eonling out on the open lawn In time to 

eaten a glimpse of IMngbrand as he ran 

ucro^to the laurels, he crept forward 

until he stood with uplifted gun behind 

the unHiispecilng sentinel. When King- 

hrand rose at the flash of the match, 

the poised rifle cut a quick circle In the 

air and descended with a blow thatsent 

him back to his knees with a thousand 

scintillating motes dancing before his 

eyes: for a single confused Instant he 

thought the end had come, and then he 

felt the revivifying breath of the spirit 

of battle which seemed to inspire him 

with the reckless and Invlnclblecourage 

of his warlike ancestors. Leaping to

Rlngbrand slept, next day until after 

noon, coming down to a very late dinner 

feeling as If he hod circumnavigated 

the globe in the wrong direction and so 

lost a day out of the calenflar. Mriv 

Ludlow, having slaked the imperative 

thirst of her curiosity at the well of her 

husband's information, spared him the 

task of recounting his adventtires at 

length; but she managed to make him

Taggarl, Knappen & Denlson, 

ccr.ting, was merely a fantastic Idea of 

proving himself in some way a knight 

without fear—a modern type of gor- 

tesque mediaeval personage who went 

about slaying impossible dragons und 

disembowelling mythological giants. 

It was absurd—ridiculous—preposter- 

i\ and from this point in the argu- 

ment the descent to the Avernus of ter- 

ror was easy. At the end of a half-hour 

he felt the premonitory spinal chill 

heralding a return of the well-known 

symptoms; in five minutes more tho 

paroxysm was upon him. and he was 

struggling furiously in the grasp of his 

familiar demon, blind, deaf nnd help- 

less, with every fiber of his being strain- 

ing itself for flight In an impulse so real 

that he turned and grasped at the rough 

bark of the tree to keep himself from 

being carried bodily away by the whirl- 

wind of terror. 

The attack did not last long, and 

about the time the blood began to tingle 

in his veins again he heard the mufiled 

trampling of horses approaching along 

the dusty road. At the signal the very 

recollection of his late discomposure 

seemed somehow to vanish into the 

limbo of a remote past; his pulses 

quickened and his muscles thrilled 

wiith the vibrations of an accumulating 

energy that sang joyously as it leaped 

through the tense nerves and the throb- 

bing arteries. His sharpened eenhcs 

were unnaturally acute; he heard the 

woody clink of the rails as the men 

made a breach in the zigzag fence, then 

the smothered hoof-beats of the horses 

coming across the soft turf of the lawn: 

a moment later, in an interval of silence, 

he fancied he could almost hear the 

whispered instructions given to Jed. 

When the two men emerged from the 

deeper shadows of the grove he saw 

them quite distinctly In the starlight; 

they came directly toward his hiding 

place, and when they paused within a 

few feet of the trees he could scarcely 

restrain the eager ferocity that prompt- 

ed him to rush out upon them. Tn the 

instant of hesitation lie had time to note 

that one of them carried an armful of 

kindling wood; the man gathered it 

into a firmer hold while they paused, 

and there was a smothered tinkle of 

breaking glass, nnd the pungent odor 

of kerosene filled the air. 

"What was that thar noise?" asked 

the other. 

"Hit's that thar blame' bottle o' coal- 

oil, that's what hit is; hit's done 

bu'sted an' run all down into my boots," 

ren'ied the first; nnd they moved for-

of the house. 

Ringbrand kept them in sight as long 

us he could, nnd then rnu across to the 

clump of laurels, going down on his 

hands nnd knees and staring intently 

into the gloom until be found them 

again, two darker blots of shadow 

crouehlng in the angle formed by the 

bay window in the parlor. While he 

waa strain ing his eyes to oatch the 

gleam of the match which would be tbe 

signal for their return, he did not hear 

the stealthy steps of a man who was ap- 

proached him from behind, nor did he 

know of its presence when the gliding 

figure came quite close and stood with 

clubbed gun waiting for him to 

The appearance of the thM 

upon the scene was due to th* fact 

Ludlow had choaen hia posMkc 

tunately and FO was unable to see 

men when they dismounted. Por this 

reason, he waited until he was aura 

the two incendiaries had startt# for 

tbe houae, aad the del^y fava th^bolfter 

joined them. The colonel sent Henry 

to arouse the negro servants, with or- 

ders to get the horses and the farm 

wagon ready at once, and then an awed 

little group gathered around the burned 

man while Ludlow examined his in- 

juries by the light of the lanterns. 

"I guess he's past help," he said, quiet- 

ly. "How did it happen?" 

Ringbrand answered: "It was kero- 

sene. He had a bottle in his |)ocket, 

and broke it just as they passed me. 

Ho was carrying an armful of wood." 

Ludlow glanced at the other two: 

"1 missed my man, but I see you have 

him. How did you manage it ?" 

"I didn't manage it: It was managed 

for me," replied Rlngbrand, lowering 

his voice nt the sound of a slight noise 

at one of the upper windows of the man- 

sion. "When I got upon my feet behind 

the laurels there, some one knocked me 

down with a clubbed gun; I tried it 

again, and threw the fellow just as the 

other came up. I closed with that one 

to keep him from using his rifle; and as 

we fell, 1 saw the third man in ablaze." 

Henry's post had been nearest to the 

..ay window, nnd he told how Jeff had 

tried twice to light the kindlings, and 

how the olazt iioti enveloped him as he 

was making the third attempt While 

he was telling about ff, the frontdoor 

of the house was opened from within 

and the colonel left the group and stood 

for some minutes talking with some one 

in the hall. Presently he called out 

"You-all didn't get hurt, did you, Mr, 

Ringbrand?" 

"Not worth mentioning," was the re- 

ply, and Ringbrand was sufficiently 

human to give place to the hope that 

Hester hod seen something of the strug 

gle, and to rejoice in the thought that 

her anxiety had prompted the inquiry. 

The door closed again when the 

wagon was driven up, and the colonel 

helped the others to lift the injured 

man to the bed of straw in the deep box, 

When he had been made a« comfortable 

ns possible, the two others were swung 

up behind and tied securely; and the 

colonel, Ludlow and Ringbraud drov 

down to Tregarthen with their prison 

ers. 

The colonel said little until the 

wagon stopped on its r -turn to "The 

Laurels" to set the two younger men 

down at Ludlow's gate; then he rose I 

and held out his hand to Ringbrand. 

"I re,-•'con yon 'predate how T feel, Mr.

acknowledge my obligations, on' the 

obligations of the whole famly, to you, 

sch. We-all ain't gwine to fo'get this 

heah night the longes' day thah's a

grew stronger nndar the influence of 

emotion—"an' I want to aay right heah 

afore Tom Ludlow, seh, that as long aa 

thah is a Latimer livfai*, bell be proud to

to assure the colonel that he waa only 

too glad to have been in time. "Only 

dent call it an obligation, colonel," ha 

added; "the motive was purely aelflsh— 

In a way that you'd hardly understand 

•f I tried to explain it." 

The colonel said much more to th* 

aaaaa pmpoaa, and would cot leave than 

until he had extracted a protniae from 

Xktgbracd to extend hia visit. 

ments. She listened with lively appre- 

ciation, making a comical little gtiiftace 

of Incredulous scorn as he concluded. 

"And Tom thought—shan't I pour you 

another cup of tea? 

"Thank you; what were you about to 

say 

"I did say It. 1 asked If you would have 

another cup of tea," 

"No, but about what Tom thought." 

"Oh! Tom thought you'd sleep right 

along till to-morrow mornlnrr," she re- 

plied, with unblushing effrontery. "And 

that reminds me: Henry's been down 

to Inquire alter you, and 1 told him 

you'd pay your respects at 'The Laurels' 

this afternoon." 

"How did you know I would?" 

"1 knew yotrfd do anything I promltcd 

for you." 

"Well (since you've committed your- 

self,) I sup'pose I'll have to go." 

"Oh, please don't!" she urged, teas-' 

ingly. "It's a long, long walk, and It's 

so dreadfully hot; Fd go bock to bed , 

again, if I were you." 

"And Impugn your reputation for 

truth und veracity ?-thnt would be j ; 

very unthankful; you see you've made 

it impossible for me not to go." Then, 

with diplomatic abruptness: "Haven't 

jou anything to tell me before I 

start?" 

"You asked me that question last 

night, and I'll make you the same 

answer: you may give Hester my love." 

"Thank you so much. Perhaps I shall 

go back to New York to-morrow." 

"Perhaps you will; and perhaps the 

world came to an end yesterday. I 

think one Is about as probable as the 

other." 

"Obi then you know of some good 

reason why I should stay." 

Yes, the best of reasons: you're not 

able to travel, yet." 

Rlngbrand laughed and reached for his 

hat. "Just watch me climb that hill, 

and then you may repent at leisure," he 

said.

CHAPTER I 

A wild, gnety sky, blucklsh blue to- 

ward tho west; a brown, stony, kelp 

flovered beach and tumbling breakers, 

all inclosed in a mighty frame of moun- 

tains—that was the sccne of which 

Hulda was the center. She was stand- 

ing upon a bowlder, shading her eyes 

with her hand, and looking out to seu 

She was u tall, straight, handsomo girl, 

of nineteen or twenty, of pure Scandi- 

navian type. The wind blew her blond 

hair across her face and strained her 

skirts about hor limbs. The gulls flow 

shrieking over her head. She had a 

healthy, outdoor color, and in the 

weatherwiso glance with which she 

scanned tho horizon there was some- 

I thing half professional. "Looks rather 

| squally, don't you think, Magda?" she 

remarked, addressing her younger sis- 

ter, who was sitting on a little mound 

of pebbles at her feet 

I can't tell, Hulda," tho latter an- 

swered plaintively. "You know this is 

my week in the kitchen, and I have no 

responsibility for the weather." 

Hulda apparently did not bear what 

she said. 

"There," she cried, "do you see that 

black streak against tho horizon? No, 

not there. North—north—westl That's 

the steamer. Ho's coming!" 

She jumped down from tbe bowlder, 

seized hor sister, who in tho meanwhile 

had riBcn, about the waist, anil begun ' 

to wallz to a tune which she gayly 

hummed with little wanton dashes and 

flourishes. 

"Now, Hulda, do try to be a little 

ladylike," Mngda implored. "Yon 

know he'll never like you if you behave 

like that." 

"Well, what does it matter?" ejacu- 

lated Hulda, sfvikiilg a deli ant attitude. 

"If he don't liko me he'll like yon. and 

in the end it amounts to tho same thing. 

He'll take c-.n daushtei* out of tho fam- 

ily and that is all ho i* expected to do. 

I don't Imow but on tho whole I pre- 

fer that h Ekould take you. You are 

such a dear, soft, little pink of propriety, 

GO nice to pet." 

She put her arms about Magda's neck 

and kissed bar with exaggerated affec- 

tion. 

"Oh, do let me alone, Hulda!' 

ilistuuje, and, walking with a manly 

swagger out on tho pier, he Investigated 

the well worn posts about which tha 

hawsers were thrown In warping. He 

whistled softly to himself while he 

stood critically watching the maneuvers 

of tho Rteamboat and took no more no- 

tice of his sisters than if they had been 

so many sand hoppers disport ing them- 

selves among the kelp. He was a some- 

what thickset, broad shouldered boy, 

Ine gangway was about to be pulled In, 

a fall, thin, cpectacled ni*n, wil ft 

square shouldf , t>., "Ibowed his way 

through the crowd and walked ashore. 

He had a longish palo fatSfl, tired blue 

eyes and a somewhat startled expres- 

sion, like Bome animal that had been 

scared from the grateful dusk of his den
