It was one of the bravest deeds ever seen on the plains,” he atUrmed, “and we’ll greet him properly with a band and a parade and a ball the ball of the season. You must see to that, Jeanne.” The colonel’s daughter lifted spar kling eyes front the newspaper. “It was glorious.” she breathed, "glori ous!” She bent over the paper, bet cheeks glowing. Over and over she had read the account of Lieutenant Weisoll'g gallant charge on the Indian stronghold at Checauba gulch. All the west rang with praises for the lieu tenant. Jeanne McDermont lmd lived her twenty years a hero worshiper. She loved the colonel not so much because he was her father as tu-caa.se lie was her hero. And even the colonel could point to no better day's work than this of little Lieutenant WeisoH’s. “Pupa!” she called wllh a rather timid voice. The colonel after a moment spoke an eueonraglug "Well, Jeanne?” “1”— Bbe began, “I—Lieutenant Wei soll—I never told you. He bed me— to—well, he asked me. It was just be fore lie left, and 1 was so sorry for It all. 1 told hint ’No.’ ” .Vim now \ i n u cunnge your mum, you hero hunter, you!” Her hnnd was pressed over Ills lips. Tlie colonel sat a nil smoked. 1,1 Uc Ids Kill, lie was a lioro worshiper. Sud denly lie remembered something and, after a moment's frowning, spoke: “Why, Jeanne, there's a little gossip down in town. A broken down violin player, a fellow degraded by drink, cume two weeks ago looking for IJeu tenant Welsoll. When sober, they say lie's a quiet, gentlemanly man, sad and thoughtful; but lie's seldom sober. He I'Ll.% .j in the saloons and everywhere. When drunk, lie lias given out that Lieutenant Welsoll Is Ills brother and bus told a story that may he true. “They were, tills story rims, a pover ty stricken family, these Weisolls, when John, tlie elder brother, and Harvey were growing up. From bis boyhood John, skillful with the how, was their chief support. It was through bis friendship with u congressman thut Harvey secured bis appointment for West Point. The younger brother was given every chance to work Ills way up John played at the smaller then ten uim nt nuiuim’i it Mins duo ut un gardens. His weakness for drink was fought and overcome by Ids hopes nml pride in Ids brother and the need of mi tiring work. Well, Harvey was grad tutted and came west. Hut now ld« brother Is a hopeless and disgraceful drunkard. That's the tale.” “What does it matter what Ids broth er is? He Is a hero!” broke in Miss McDenuont. "Yes, I know," said the colonel; "but they say wliat broke dowu this mu sician brother's will anil heart, they say, was something a bit snobbish mean, considering the elrcaimstaiieeH - on Harvey's part. The cadet was ashamed of the player, they say. Of course It is all gossip and a drunken player's tattle. Perhaps I shouldn’t have told you.” “Yes,” answered the girl softly; "It does no barm. I won't believe a mean ness of the man who took Oheenuba. That attack couldn’t have been made by a—a—a puppy.” It was the evenlug of Lieutenant Welsoll's homecoming day. The young warrior had been driven through the streets behind the regiment's band, through ranks of cheering townspeo ple. Now, in the cool of the evening, he was walking home with Jeutine MeDermont from the parade ground. He smiled up at the tall girl and walked as lie always did—eyes notice ably straight ahead. Lieutenant Wel soll uever turned aside. The right of way he took, like many short men of pompous mien, ns a matter of course. Harvey was not quite pompous, uot even tonight when lie felt his pride and happiness complete. He knew that he had won more than glory. He talked gayly of the romance In this frontier town und of how dreary It had seemed at tlrst. “How I want ed nn exchange. lie erica, then sartiy, "And now I want a life tenure.” She Hushed and smiled. “Well, the old dust certainly lias a wonderful, roseate glow." Behind them walked the colonel, silent and thoughtful, and several ladles and officers. In the main street before the little frame hotel a crowd of town idlers and soldiers were gathered. The strains of violin music came from the center of the group, and there was a hush over the square. For once Lieu tenant Welsoll turned aside and cross ed the street to avoid the men. Miss McDermont's eyes were Intent upon them, but suddenly she glanced up at her companion with something of nnx lety and doubt. Some one on the outskirts of the crowd caught sight of the lieutenant and set up a cheer. There wns In stant confusion, and the crowd began to break. Jeanne looked and saw a bent little figure standing by the hotel steps, lie moved forward now and, assisted by a stout soldier, began to cross the street. 11 ■■ was weak, and she could see his trembling. The vio lin was |;u . •-1 closely to his shabby gray coat, ills bead was uncovered and bald on top, and a shock of yellow curls fell about his ears and over his foreheud. The girl's gaze was held by the large, hungry blue eyes—eyes fixed on Lieutenant Welsoll. She saw the man by her side start In surprise. The musician walked steadily and alone now, and as he came nearer to them he raised the violin and drew from It some bauntlngly sad notes from “Rob in Adair.” Harvey touched her arm and quickened bis step, but the man was close to him, and now be stretch ed out both hands with bow and vio lin In them and called In low tones: “Harvey, riarvey, my brother! I knew you would win out, and X never minded waiting, and when they told mo ail about It here I wasn’t surprised. I only said, 'The day I’ve been living on for is near,' and”— The lieutenant had been detained by the girl's hand upon his arm. lie made an impatient gesture, ns if to force her on. The musician, seclug, cried out: “Why, Harvey, I'm John, John—your brother John!” Ills voice rose to a frightened shriek. “Come!" snapped Welsoll to Jeanne. ; “Come, come!” She whispered in pained amazement, ' "Hut your brother, John; your brother I —your brother!” j lie felt the pain in her voice, nis face was crimson. The colonel and the Indies and the officers were close upon them. The man with the violin, weak and dazed, but not drunk now, stood before them, his hands outstretched. “I never saw this fellow before, Jeanne.” The lieutenant spoke loudly. "I have no brother. This is merely a drunken joke. I”— His voice had risen to u shrill pitch. His face hud gone from crimson to white, and she knew that he wub ly ing. She saw the eyes of the fnllen nud denied brother till with tears. He turned away. Jeanne turned on the lieutenant. “You coward!” she cried In ringing tones. “You coward!” lie shrank back before her Bcorn. She turned to the brother and, putting out both her hands, clasped his hand that held the bow. “I'm glad to know you, John Wel soll,'' she said brokenly. “I’m proud to know you, John Welsoll.” Look For tho Beautiful. There are superb personalities that K<) through life extracting sunshine from what to others seems but dark ness, seeing charm In apparent ugliness, discerning grace and exquisite propor tion where the unloving see but forbid ding angles and distortion and glimps ing the linage of divinity where less beautiful souls see but a lost und de graded human being. Yet it is the heritage possible to all who will take the trouble to begin early In life to cultivate the finer qualities of the soul, the eye and the heart. It is said that the most disgusting object. If put under a magnifying glass of sufficient power, would reveal benu tles undreamed of. So even in the most unlovely environment, In the most cruel conditions, there Is something of the beautiful and the hopeful when viewed through the glass of a trained and disciplined mind. A beautiful character will make poet ry out of the prosiest life, bring sun shine Into the durkest home and devel op beauty and grace amid the ugliest surroundings. It is not circumstances so much ns the attitude and quality of the mind that give happiness, contentment und divinity of service.—Success.

Each dog visited the other frequently, till one day while Laddie, Dandy's guest, was gnawing a hone, a pet kitten belonging to Dandy’s family came too near, and Laddie snapped at her. In an instant Dandy flew at bis throat, and they were only separated after a se vore light. Neither dog ever crossed the bounda ry line between the two farms after that. Laddie drove his flock of sheep daily down the lane till he reached the dlvld lag wall, where Dandy solemnly took charge and drove them to pasture. At night Dandy brought hack the Rheep, and Laddie would be wuillng fur his share of the flock every time.

In 17IS his majesty or dered the great hall of Hamilton Court to be converted for the time Into a theater. There, under the direction of Steele, “whose political services had been poorly recompensed by graining him some theatrical privileges,” seven performances were given. Among the plays were “Hamlet," “Sir Courtly Nice,” “The Constant Couple,” “Love For Money,” “Volpone” nnd “Kale a Wife and Have a Wife.” Among the players were Colley Cibber, Pinkct niun, Johnson, Thurmond, llooth, Mills, Mrs. Porter and Mrs. Younger.

MENU OF THE TURKS DISHES THAT COULD BE ADOPTED BY AMERICAN HOUSEWIVES. Vtgnd. That Are at Once Appetising, Nntrltlotm nntl Inexpensive*—Popu larity of Veixetnblen and Sweets. The National Dish. Some of the dishes found on Turkish tnbles might well be adopted by the American housewife, being appetizing and Inexpensive and enslly prepared from articles that are to be found here In great abundance. Turks do not care for sulads, but pre fer meat fish, vegetables and sweet dishes. The Bosporus furnishes a great variety of excellent flsli, among them the red mullet oysters and mussels, but the Turks have no Idea of the choice of outs nnd simply ask for so many okas, caring nothing so that they get meaty pieces with few bones. Corned beef, roast beef, steak —those are unknown. Mutton, beef, a little Teal, fowls and game are eaten. Pork Is “the unutterable flesh.” Breakfast with the Turks of all classes consists of a cup of coffee aud bread. A piece of cheese rolled Into the fat pancake Is eaten by the laborers. This Is sometimes exchanged for cakes that are much like pretzels, only larger aud not so hard. In the fruit season different kinds of fruit are added. Black broad made of unboiled rye Hour Is sold everywhere and when fresh Is delicious. With a few grapes, a piece of the native cheese and a cup of coffee the richest man is satisfied. With all fish, lobsters and uiauy meats a sort of salad dressing is served made of garlic, oil, breadcrumbs and vinegar, all bruised to a cream, with caviare or cucumber. Mussels are much larger than in this country. They are washed, steamed until they open, then filled with rice, chopped onion nnd pep per and butter, packed closely In a Ves sel nnd baked nn hour. j urun inane row soups, os tliey prefer solid food, but sardines, anchovies and suited olives or pistachio nuts are eaten beforo uieals as appetizers. Of vegeta bles, which enter largely Into their diet, the favorite Is the tomato, and scarcely any dish Is considered com plete without It, though they never eat this vegetable raw. To preserve toma toes for winter use they boll them un til the skins are loose, then pass them through colanders, after which they throw suit Into the pulp. This onuses It to settle, and the water Is poured off while the residue is put Into thin bags and hung In the shade. The next day It is .spread on tint surfaces to dry. latter it Is cut Into squares and laid In covered Jars. This process retains dhe taste and qualities of the tomato better than canning, and u little water mnkes the pulp moist again. Potatoes, a taste for which Is ail ac quired one with the To-'*-', are llrst if ■i ..... it* . Hour, then made Into cakes ijinl fried. Beans and lima beaus are boiled with tomatoes and hutter and soniellmes on ions. Squash Is sliced and fried or stuffed with inluceineut, onions and boiled rice, and then linked. Large cu cumbers are also stuffed with minced meats and baked or are onten raw with salt. One good stew Is made of mut ton mid green pens. Another bus all sorts of vegetables, like an Irish slew. Eggplant Is cooked In many ways, sonic of them palatable and good. One recipe Is called liunmbnildo, which means that the ininiii for whom the dish llrst was muile fainted with de light at Its excellence. To make It, cut silts in the sides of the eggplant and In sert u forcemeat of onion nml minced chicken In the cavities. Tie strips of cloth around and fry thoroughly In boil ing ful- Another way is to substitute eggplant for potato In a stew. Toma toes should also be udded. Moussakn, another and better form, calls for one large eggplant, sliced rath er thick, without peeling. Have a quart of tomatoes freshly peeled or canned and one pound of minced beef. Pry the beef until It separates, set aside while the eggplant Is being fried, then put alternate layers of meat, egg plant and tomatoes in a deep dish; season and hake in u slow oven one hour. Another delicious dish results from placing sliced onions, tomatoes and ship’s bread or soda biscuit In layers, with a generous piece of butter, In a covered dish. Bake slowly four hours. Pilaf, the imtioual dish of Turkey, Is served Invariably at every dinner. Itice always forms the foundation, mid the most popular variety la that where nothing hut butter, tomatoes and rice Is used. Take three-quarters of a pound of Carolina or Egyptian rice, wash until perfectly clean ami while still wet place to a pan with one-quar ter of a pound of butter. Stir over the tire until the rice tins absorbed the but ter and become a light golden color. Add the rice to three pints of a trained tomato Juice, boll the whole up once, then draw aside to cook, without stir ring, tor twenty-five minutes. When done, melt another quarter of u pound of butter, and when the pllnf Is dished up pour It over the top. Each kernel should be separate. The color will be a rich light brown. Ynlunje-dolum Is u popular dish with foreigners as well as Turks. Scald some fresh green grape leaves. Take a half pound of rice and fry In butter us for plluf. Mince some onion and parsley very fine and add them to the rice with salt and pepper. Stuff each leaf with the mixture, fastening the little bundles with cloves. I,ay them In a kettle, the opening downward, keep them In place and just enough water to keep them from burning. Stm mei for three-quarters of an hour.— New York Tribune.

They Hml He (Jood Onra and Urgn larty Compared nnd Inspected. A man with smoko ground Into hts hands and face walked Into one of the downtown Jewelry stores and handed over a hlg gold watch and a card. The repair man looked at the watch, mado some queer marks on the card and handed both bnek. And the man walked out of the store. “Didn't know yon sell on the Install ment plan,” suggested the Inquisitive loafer. "Don't,” was the laconic response, and then the Jeweler explained. “The man Is a locomotive fireman, nnd his watch was being compared. You see, It Is absolutely necessary that railroad watches keep good time, and the mat ter of making them keep good time has been systematized. “The firemen, engineers, conductors, rear brakemen and train masters on all of the roads in this country have or ders to have their watches compared twice a mouth nnd Inspected every six months. On some roads nearly all of the employees are supposed to go through this same routine. “When a watch Is bought by any of these men, It must be passed upon by the Jeweler who has been appointed in spector for the road that the purchaser serves. It must be a good watch, cost ing about $35 for the works ulone, for the rattle nnd Jolt of a train would se riously uffect a cheap watch, but it may be of any make, provided It comes up to the standard. Stop watches, watches that tell the day of the week and such complicated novelties are barred. A key winder is not accepta ble, nor Is a watch thnt has been changed from a hunting case to an open face. An open faced watch Is preferred, though a good hunting case watch Is not turned down on the ma jority of roads. "After the Inspector has passed fa vorably upon the watch lie makes out a slip to that effect nml returns the watch to the railroader, along with the Indorsing slip and a small card. On this card are a number of ruled spaces. Twice n month the railroader brings his watch and card to the Inspector, who notes on the card whether the watch was fust or slow and how much, whether It hus stopped or run down and whether or not he regulated It. In this manner the Inspector can tell Just what the watch Is doing and what It needs. "At the end of each six months the watch and the card arc taken to the Inspector, who makes a more careful examination of the watch, Issues a new card to the railroader and sends In the old card to the headquarters of the road for which the man works. A duplicate of these cards Is kept In a book by the Inspector. "The railroad watches that ure most closely watched by the Inspectors are those that arc carried by engineers and Bremen on thoRe locomotives that are fitted with electric headlights on ac count of the danger of their becoming magnetised. This danger Is realized by their watches In the cab while working about the headlight." — Indianapolis News. The Colt noil Ha Illiler. Once upon a time a man tried to ride on the back of a young colt, which ob jected very much t i his doing so, and there was quite a struggle between the two, with plunging by the colt and clinging by the limn.

Not long ago a Indy was choosing a hat, with the usunl uncertainty of wind as to the kind of hut she wanted or whether, Indeed, she wanted a hat at all. After trying on nearly every mod el In the shop she pounced with glee on one she had overlooked. "Here’s some thing pretty!” she said. “Why did you not show me this before?” Without waiting for an answer she appealed to her patient friend. "There's some stylo ubout this, Isn't there? IIow do I look?” The friend distinctly sniffed. “It makes you look a hundred, and It's very dowdy,” she said. The other tried the hat at unother an gle. "It is rather dowdy,” she admit ted at this Juncture. “Perhaps 1 won’t risk it after all.” A voice from behind her made its third attempt to gain a hearing. “If you've quite done with my hut,” It Bald very bitterly, "I should ruthcr like to put It on!"

In tlie pitched butt'es which some times take place between the great carnivora and the largest and most powerful of the ox tribe the forces of animal courage, desperation and bodily strength must be exhibited on a scale never elsewhere seen, says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly. Such combats do oc cur, but have seldom been witnessed and still less frequently described. Two or three lions sometimes combine In such an attack, but from the marks seen on^ buffalo It Is probable that sometimes there is a single combat, for It can hardly be supposed that the buf falo could escape from more than one Hon. The number of foot pounds of energy put Into such a struggle must lie some thing extraordinary. The efforts of a lion, which enn strike a man’s nrm from the shoulder and leave it hang ing by n strip of skin or which can carry u cow over a high stockade, en deavoring unsuccessfully In close grips to drag down or disable a buffalo bull, must be on a gigantic scale, and the strength which can shake him off and, It is believed, occasionally crush the lion afterward must be even more amazing. A buffalo bull has been cred ited with engaging three lions In mor tnl combat and making a good fight before he was disabled by one of the lions hnmstringlng him by biting his legs from behind. Kjlrrors nt Diet. An lnsurunoo man of my acquaint mice Rte licarty breakfasts, wltli meat and coffee, a hurried lunch at noon, but nlso with meat, and a heavy dinner at night. He took no exercise, always rode between house and othce, became fat nml bloated, and his blood became so overloaded that he readily succumb ed to disease at forty-five. The won der was that he lived ao long. He was u type of the average well to do citizen. Like him, most of us eat too much, says a writer In Good Housekeeping:. Diet idiould depend upon temperament and vocation. At hard work out of doors one requires more nutriment than at sedentary labor Indoors. A gradual reduction In diet, even an occasional fast, will cure many ordinary Ills. Add deep breathing, fresh air, body build ing exercises, plenty of sunshine, wa ter Inside and out, and It. Is astonish ing how much better one feels. I’rli'en For Sermons. Much lias been said of the practice of buying and selling sermons, n prac tice, by the way, of no very special novelty. Just before Toplndy was ubout to be ordained Oshprne, the book seller, the friend of Johnson, offered to supply him with a stock of original sound sermons for a trifle. “I would sooner buy secondhand clothes,” was the tart reply. "Don't be offended,” said Osborne. “I have sold many to a bishop.” The price of sermons, as of all else, has varied with the times. In 1TV40 a bishop ot ju.'duuinr reee wni - cutr onxit-gw if.ifvftno oi. margaret s, Westminster, for a sermon on the an nunciation a pike, price 2s. 4d.; a gal lon of wine, olglitpcnce, and boat hire— In all 3s.

Orevllle does not tell the following story In his famous "Memoirs,” hut it Is a fitting return for Ills own rather malicious wit: On one occasion, when Lord Alvanley was his guest, the din ing room had been newly anil showily furnished, whereas the dinner was hut a very meager one. While many of the guests were complimenting their host on his taste and magnificence Lord Al vaulcy interrupted them with, “For my part, I should prefer more curving and less gilding."
