"But, father,” Caroline protested, “surely this Is not a part of the estate, this —this cemetery!” Col. Darling nodded his head. "Yes, daughter, it Is. I purchased the old Craft farm, as it was called, without ever having gone over the 200-odd acres of Its extent. The old home stead has so excellent a site over looking the water that I took the acres I could not see pretty much for granted. Father and daughter stood in the arch made from the branches of two ancient hemlock trees that formed a gateway to a small and apparently abandoned cemetery. Here and there, covered with myrtle vines and creep ing wild ivy, were tombstones gray with age. The little plot gave evi dence of having been, in days gone by, carefully kept, but now it was so overgrown with trees and shrubs as to be almost hidden. Thus, It was little wonder that Col. Darling had overlooked it when he purchased the property of which It was a part. “I’m quite sure I shall never enjoy rambling in the grounds as I had dreamed of doing,” Caroline la mented. * "Tut, but, daughter, that is all non sense!” "Nonsense to you, perhaps, because you’re—well, you’re not given to moonlight wanderings. Now —a girl Is, and I shall feel every time I step out of the house at night that I am being watched by ghosts who have strayed from beneath these stones. Oh, father, do let us go!” Caroline begged, slipping her arm within her father’s and leading him away. "I doubt you could even find this spot again tf I were to take you by a roundabout circuit to the house, my dear,” soothed the colonel. "So —in your own language, more shame to you! forget it.” And, since youth easily forgets, Caroline did forget the wee, aban doned burying ground tucked down among the hemlocks in a remote acre of her father's estate. It was seldom that she traversed more than the half dozen acres which comprised gardens and playgrounds of the old farm. But if the young woman of the house made slight use of the country surrounding the old homestead, she - ■ x* XL <* > "Oh, Father, Do Let Us Go!” nade the great, old-fashioned rooms of the manor house ring with joyous laughter and echo the voices of merry young people. House party fol low r ed house party, and Caroline was beginning to think that her father had not done her such an injustice after all in taking her from the gay life of the city to plant her in the midst of a 200-acre farm. Never be fore had she realized the joy of being mistress of a real home and at liberty to extend unlimited hospitality. For, when Col. Darling had induced his motherless girl to comply with the desire of his own life to have a home in the country, he had promised her that she should have all the com panionship she wanted, even if It be a continual round of entertaining. The end of May was upon them, and Caroline was the center of a Superstition Hard to Kill French People Surprised at the Sur vival of Dangerous Customs in Brittany. Every few years some incident oc curs to remind a civilized nation of the survival of the grossest superstitions In its midst. French opinion is at present shocked by a recent revela tion at St. Malo, which has resulted In the arrest of a dormeuse. The dormeuse is peculiar to Brittany. She is a woman who claims a mysterious power to heal disease by certain charms and treatments, pre-eminently by indwoing artificial sleep. A St. Malo workman was suffering from meningitis, and under ordinary medical treatment, when a woman, De lanoe, a renowned dormeuae, was called in. She arrived with her hus band, fix-d sent for a milk white pigeon. While the man put the pa tient Into a trance the woman cut the live pigeon in half and placed the warm flesh on his forehead. This was ! 1-happy group of friends from the city, They bad been asked as guests ovci Decoration day and had planned thi time-honored picnic of that day. "It seems too good to be true,” cried one of the girls, “to think we are going on a real picnic on Memo rial day.” “Just as all the country lads and lassies do back in good old lowa where I was a child,” added a young man with more than half seriousness in his expression. "All we can do to make it pre sactly real,” laughed another pretty girl, "is to go to some graveyard and sit on the freshly decorated mounds and eat our lunches!” Caroline’s eyes suddenly flashed and she jumped to her feet. “Girls and boys!” she cried, ex citedly, "we can do that very same thing! And let’s do it!” "What?” chorused the others. "Eat our lunch in the dearest little cemetery you ever saw,” Caroline ex plained more seriously. "In this very farm there lies a small aban doned graveyard and you can’t Imag ine how picturesque it is. I’ll take a bunch of lilacs to put on each of the old graves that has been forgotten since—oh, since before any of us was born,” she said. Memorial day dawned as a perfect May day should dawn, and Caroline was down on the broad old colonial porch in her fresh white frock long before the others were out of their beds. She sat beside her father, rock ing back and forth in the balmy m<jrning air and looking out across the velvet of the lawns. The fra grance of apple blossoms was all about them, for the breezes came to them across the orchard. Presently around the turn of the winding gravel path that led to the main entrance of the farm there came a young man. He walked brisk ly, and yet there was an expression of uncertainty In his carriage. As he approached the two he took off his straw hat and addressed Col. Darling. “Is this the old Craft farm —the Lorado Craft farm?” he asked. “It is,” the colonel answered. “I have recently bought it. What can I do for you, sir?” The young man smiled. “I am looking for the grave of my great grandfather, and I was told that it was in a small cemetery that was believed to be in the Craft property.” “Oh, father ” began Caroline. “It is,” interrupted the colonel. “At least there is such a place some here hereabout.” “I know exactly where it is, father,” suggested Caroline. “Then you might try to tell us,” the father replied. “Better than that, daughter, you might come with this young man and me and we will see if we can aid him in his search.” As the three sought the hemlock grove the young man told them of his reason for seeking so remote a grave. His grandmother, recently deceased, had begged it of him as a final re quest that he find the burying place of her father and care for it. She herself had been unable to do so, and after much effort the young man had traced It to the Craft estate. They found the old flat stone with the carved letters telling of how one George Alexander John Carstone had lived and died, etc. “And do you bear one of the names?” asked the colonel. “I am John Carter —I beg your par don for not having introduced myself at once,” the young man hastily re plied, extending a card to Col. Dar ling. “Not so lengthy a name as your great-granddaddy’s, eh?” Caroline laughed at her father's facetiousness with a stranger, and yet —in her innermost self —she was sure the man would not always be a stranger. Already her father was saying: “If you will, our house is yours and you can remain through the day with us and return to this spot and care properly for the resting place of your ancestor. Eh, Caroline?” “Yes, indeed, father.” The three returned to breakfast, and Caroline had misgivings as to the picnic, now that the young man had come on a serious errand. He put her at ease In a moment. “What better care than the visita tion of a merry party of young folks could my good grandmother have asked? I’ll join you. if I may.” And that Memorial day picnic be neath the hemlocks was a day to be remembered by Caroline Darling, for It was in the cool, quiet shadows there that she first saw into the depth of the eyes of the man who was to become her husband.

The dormeuse has been arrested, and a comprehensive inquiry is to be made into the superstitious practices of Brittany. It will, however, need more than an inquiry to shake the be liefs of the most superstitious and con servative corner of France. A Safe Rule.

SEEK ASTOR WEALTH Heir to $100,000,000 Receives Letters From Many Persons. Women Propose Marriage and Men Ask Him to Become Partners in Business —Others Make Odd Requests. / New York. —Vincent Astor’s latest trouble is a deluge of letters from persons anxious to advise him as to the best manner of spending his |IOO,- 000,000 inheritance. Many of the let ters are from women, telling of their great love and conveying offers of mar riage. Old women and young women, bra zen and demure, thin and fat ones, pretty and ugly, have taken their pens in hand, not without hope of gain. Some have pretended to bespeak Mr. Astor’s interest in behalf of causes other than purely personal ones, but most of them have been frankly smit ten in the desire to call the young man’s attention to certain persons that he otherwise might overlook. Some of the writers have waited in front of the Astor estate offices in Twenty-sixth street fdr a glimpse of the boy.

Fulfills His Death Dream Visions of Hearse Waiting for Casket Finally Induces Man to Kill Self. Phoenixville, Pa—Tortured for weeks by a constantly recurring dream. In which was pictured a fu neral cortege with a hearse opened to receive a casket which has being car ried from the house in which he board ed, Peter Luzecki died shortly after he had cut his throat with a razor. Witnesses, called at the inquest held by Deputy Coroner C. H. Howell, told the story of the strange apparition which had so long oppressed Luzecki and which drove him finally from loss of sleep into insanity. His fellow boarders told of accounts of his strange dream which the suicide gave them at breakfast each morning, and In which he declared that it forecast his own death and pictured to him his funeral. Within the past few days Luzecki was apparently suffering from a great with girlish voices whose owners were anxious to have opportunities to meet the heir of millions. The reasons as signed were as many as the letters contained. Some of the writers want the young man to “do something worthy of his name.’’ There have been suggestions that he finance the suffragette cause. Others want him to use his fortune to buy up breweries and distilleries and put them out of business for the sake of promoting the cause of prohibition. Comparatively few of the letters writ ten by women are from inventors. This class of communications almost always bore a man’s signature. Things suggested for a worthy use of the money ranged from patent bung-starters to methods of bridging Behring strait. Included in the ap peals are those of professional beg gars. Churches, schools and libraries divide honors as to the numbers of their letters with propositions from business houses that offer him inter ests for ever so small a sum. Most of these letters, of course, need no answer. Those from women on subjects of the heart are entirely ig nored. Many of the latter come ac companied by photographs. Two of the fair correspondents sent as their own postcard, pictures of Lillian Rus sell, from which they had forgotten to scratch the name. Kills Girls Playing Indian.

Man Near Death Relents Murderer Forgives His Daugh ter, Who “Caused It All.” Dramatic Meeting in Prison Before an Artist’s Death—Pivtures of Him self on the Gallows Painted by Jan Ribarich. Washington, Pa. —Jan Ribarich, an Austrian, artist and thrice a murderer, who will be hanged here, was convert ed in his cell by his daughter whom he had vowed he would kill because she was the "cause of it all.” A visit from his daughter, a prayer and the singing of “Nearer, My God, to Thee,” caused a dramatic incident. Ribarich, who had fitted his cell in to a studio, for weeks past occupied his time in painting pictures and pre senting them to his friends and jail of ficials. He always spoke jokingly of the gallows and had persuaded the sheriff to allow him to look at the gal lows from a window several hours before the hanging was to take place. Ribarich had painted many of his friends and had drawn a sketch of himself dangling at the end of a rope with his body half concealed through the falling of the trap. Rabarich shot and killed Michael No vak, his wife and stepson, Stanjovi, whom he blamed for harboring his daughter. After his conviction, the father said his only desire was to kill his daughter before he died, as she had disobeyed him. The girl visited her father, accompa- nervous strain, and could talk of little else than what he termed his coming funeral. Recently a groan was heard, evident ly coming from the room which he oc cupied, and investigation revealed the man lying in a pool of blood and fast bleeding to death. He died half an hour later. He was unmarried and had been a resident of Phoenixville for seven years. TWO GO INTO LAKE OF FIRE Carnegie Foundation Men Make Im portant Examination of Vol cano of Kilauea.

A shotgun arranged to dis charge in the direction of a window, should an effort be made to raise the window, was empty, its load having entered Brooks’ body. It is supposed that he stepped on the string “trigger” in passing between the gun and the window. Dirigible Breaks Record. Paris.—The French dirigible bal loon, Clement-Bayard 111., beat the world’s dirigible balloon record for al titude. Carrying six passengers the craft ascended to a height of 9,514 feet into the crater of Kilanea, which is the largest active volcano In the world, and for several hours remained suspended over the bed of boiling lava, making a study of the gases dis charged and gathering specimens of molten stone for analysis. It Is the first time in history that scientists have gone into the lake of fire, as the pit is called, although a party climbed to the top of the outer pit in 1909. Mount Kilauea is 6,000 feet above the sea and the oval crater of the volcano is nine miles In circumference. The last time it was dangerously ac tive was in August, 1910. The experi ments are expected to result in im portant findings in support of certain theories of volcanic activity. Blind Law Students Win Honors. New York.

The homely, old-fashioned boiled din aer is not much spoken of these days, and yet it has many stanch supporters all over our land. The drawback with a boiled dinner for a family of two Is that there Is so much left over. This Is extremely nice for hash, hut once served in that way is sufficient. A small boiled dinner may be prepared but even then there is a large amount of left-overs. A good plan for the lev ers of the old-fashioned dish Is tc gather together those who enjoy It atod have a feast. A head of cabbage of two, a few potatoes, turnips and c/r rots all boiled together with a good thick piece of well-flavored salt pork. Corned beef Is liked by many In stead of the salt pork.

While strawberries are in season there is no more delicious Ice cream than that flavored with the fresh fruit. A box of berries, crushed and strained, added to a plain mixture of ice cream Is sufficient for flavor and color. A ta blespoonful of lemon juice added brings out the flavor of the berries as well as making the color more Intense. All fruit flavors are best added after the cream Is partly frozen. Not Unexpected.
