'
. "My country, right or wrong, but
still my country," murmured Eleanor
Wrigbt with great satisfaetion as she
gazed through the open window at the
apple trees Inden with gorgeous blos
soms. She loved the plaoe nod every
stick and stone-on It. ItVas hers by
right of inheritance, and she would
leave it for uo jnnn.
True, her old nurse, Roxanna, bad
forsaken her to become the bride of
Abraham, the bend gardener on the
adjoining estate, and It seemed as If a
landmark bad been torn up by tbe very
roots. One must leurn to part with
landmarks, Ab Eleauor had promised
to go to Roxanua's wedding.
She jumped Into the little rnunbout
which wai waiting for her nt tbe door
No groom ntleuded her, for all tbe
darkles on the place bad been given
a holiday that they, too, might attend
the wedding. She drove down the fn
mlllnr lane to the cabin In tbe woods,
where hundreds of darkies hud con
gregated. Only one other white per
son was In sight, a tall, lithe youth
astride a roan horse.
Most of the colored men wore white
linen suits, Immaculately clean, and
carried canes of crooked old birch and
hickory. The women were arrayed to
shame Solomon in all Ills glory. They
drew aside as the two white persons
came into their midst. Eleanor drove
up at the side of the house and de
scended with the aid of many black
hands. The tall youth stayed on his
horse and took up n staud near the
front door. Arm in arm the bride and
groom came from the house, and under
the oltl apple tree at the side of the
cabin the most famous colored preach
er in the south made them mau and
wife.
Eleanor shook the groom by the
hand ami told him to guard well his
precious helpmate. She kissed the
black lace of Roxanna, who had been
her constant atteuduut since babyhood,
Tlien, blinded by tears, she jumped
iuto her little runabout nml started
for home.
j ,ho, ' r3 aud ballelullahs rang upon
the uir. Bright bandannas were flung
high, and hickory sticks wavered in
circles. After twenty years of persist
ent courtship Roxanna and Abraham
were married! Eleanor turned to look
hack at the happy throng, and her
horse shied.
She was a good little horsewoman
and took n firm grip on the reins, but
too late! The horse had the bit in his
i
I
I
!
teeth and was running at terrific speed.
The light wagon rocked from one side
of the road to another, Eleanor sway
ing with it. Dowu the road, past pink
orchards and green fields, swaying,
swaying—and then black nothing.
She opeu'ed her eyes to gaze Into
those of the youth who had attended
the wedding.
"I'm Dick Ewing, your next door
neighbor." he explained as he made
her a bit more comfortable by propping
her up. "Abraham is our gardener, you
| know," he continued, "and I saw you
j n t the wedding. You seem to have for
gotten me. How's your bead, eh?"
Eleanor had known Dick Ewing
| when she was a child. The last time
j they had met he had called "tomboy"
I at her as she climbed over the fence
which divided the Ewing place from
j the Wright plantation. Then he had
been sent to Germany at the behest of
| a wealthy uncle.
He seemed to divine her thoughts.
"I got back the other day—just in
time for the wedding," and lie laughed
an infectious laugh. "But this line of
conversation is not getting you home.
I don't know just how to do it. 1 don't
suppose there's a sober darky this side
of the Mason and Dixon line—all at
;
1 tbe redding drinking Wright cider.
Your wa gon is smashed. Oh, I say,
couldn't you sit my horse, and I'll walk
„ longsld e? We're most there, you
know .,
lie inspired confidence. Eleanor gath
ered up her torn skirt and with Dick's
assistance mounted the horse. On the
way home the time was spent in ex
planations. He had much to tell of
student life in Germany. Now
fledged doctor, be had come home to
practice In the south. Her tale was
more simple, an uneventful life nt
home, with Roxanna always guarding
her.
"I just don't know how I'll ever get
along without her. Do yon know, I
seldom even put a hairpin In my hair?"
said Eleanor, with a- helpless, appeal
ing expression that touched Dick's
heart as if some tragedy had overtaken
her.
rmi
"Don't you talk. 1 expect the fa
mous gardens of the Ewlug estate can
now go to rack and ruin, for Abraham
will be home making love Instead of
wielding the hoe," said Dick In a mas
culine attempt nt sympathy.
Eleanor wns safely deposited on the
front porch, with her mother almost
hysterical In gratitude to their neigh
bor.
"I may come again, please?" he said
ns he extended his hand to Eleanor.
"Provided, of course, that I don't have
to take a hand at the garden," he adif
ed, with some sarcasm.
"Ob. do oome over!" cordially assent
ed Eleanor. "I shall probably be all
pinned up tbe .back and wearing my
batr In a pigtail, because without Rox
anna—well, come over and see for your
self."
Dick was very bnsy the next day ow
ing to tbe promotion of the second man
as overseer during Abraham's honey
moon. Tbe underservants resented bis
authority, and Dick was at bis wit*'
Mid to mollify them, assuring them that
Abraham would be back In a few
lays and peace would once more reign.
Mrs. Ewing wept and suld It served
Dick right. He ought not to have al
lowed the gardener to marry. The sec
ond morning things were nt a stand
still all over the place. None of the
darkles would work at all, and Dick
jumped on his horse and rode down to
the cabin where the bride and groom
were "Just restin'" as a bridal trip.
"When did you thluk of coming back,
Abraham?" asked Dick as the t^ll fig
ure of the negro appeared at the door.
"Mlstab Dick, i Just been arguin'
with Roxanna. She say I should go
work for her folks..an' when a man's
married"— Abraham sighed.
Dick Ewing was a true southerner
and would not stoop to ask favors of a
negro. He wheeled around and half
way dowu the lane met Eleanor, sit
ting her gray horse as if born to the
saddle.
"Good morning!" she sang out mer
rily. "I'm on my way to beg Roxanna
to return to her old duties. My hair's
in a snarl, my shoes are losing all their
buttons and—well, I must have my
Roxanna."
Dick smiled, not without malice.
"Do come along and join me. A
man nlways lends dignity to an attack
of this sort," continued Eleanor. And
Dick turned his horse's head In the
same direction.
Roxanna was called to the door,
where Abraham had stood a few mo
ments before, and her mistress im
plored her to return. She offered the
same excuse that had greeted Dick.
"Miss 'Nor, Abraham seems like he
thinks I ought to work for bis folks,
an' when you're married"—
Eleanor and Dick wheeled about and
rode down the lane nt full speed. Con
versation seemed to lag until they
reached the spacious porch- of the
Wright home.
"I,et's talk the matter over seriously,
Eleanor," said Dick. "1 may call you
Eleanor, mayn't I? And let's us go
back to the old time chumminess of
childhood."
Eleanor looked at the fence where
they bad parted In anger—but she ac
quiesced.
"The other day as I was going to
that infernal darky wedding which up
set two erstwhile happv homes I stop
p ell 1Inder t ho 0 | d tree hy tbe
turn of the road, and I reached up to
gather some blossoms." began Dick.
Eleauor leaned forward as If llsten
Iu g to an Interesting story. "They
were out of my reach, and when I
found that I could not get them I felt
a s If I had lost something which had
never really been mine, yet something
which 1 had always coveted sultcon
sciolislv."
Eleanor smiled, with a suggestion of
a Llussh.
"So p | S with something else, Elea
U or," he continued. "You are that
something else. All ray life 1 have
wanted my little neighbor. As a boy 1
teased yon, but 1 wanted you. As a
man I missed you In Germany. I love
you. and I must bave you. Perhaps I
am reaching up too far. Perhaps you
are way above me, as tbe blossoms
were."
He hesitated as If waiting for an an
swer. Eleauor leaned back In her
chair. Her lips twitched. Her eyes
danced.
"Dick, tell me truly one thing, and I
will answer your question."
He rose and stood beside her in the
golden sunlight. The soft breezes blew
a few petals on them both.
"Dick Ewing, on your honor, do you
want me—just me, Eleanor Wright—or
do you want Roxanna and Abraham?"
Two hearty young laughs resounded
through the oir.
"Honest Injun, dear, I want Just you,
and I want you, as they say In the
song, 'Because Y'ou're You,' '' empbat
i ically declared Dick as he drew a not
I unwilling captive within his arms.
I Eleanor pushed him aside and with
! mock dignity said:
"Come, dear—yes, dear Dick—let's go
back to the'old cabin and see If Rox
anuu and Abraham will come and work
for us."
I
Many Times Married.
There are some very remarkable in
stances of people who have been mar
ried a lartje number of times, and also
of husbands and wives who have lived
together to an extraordinary age. SL
Jerome mentions a woman who mar
ried her twenty-second husband, who,
in his turn, had been married to twen
ty wives. There is an instance re
corded in Bordeaux in 1772 of a man
who had been married sixteen times.
A woman named Elizabeth Nase, who
died in Florence In 17158, bad been mar
ried to seven .husbands, ber last wed
ding taking place when she was seven,
ty years of age. Numerous cases exist
all over the world of people who have
been married four, five or six times,
in 1768 n couple was living in Essex
who had been married eighty-one
years, the husband being 107 years old
and ids wife only four years younger.
These cases are also not Isolated ones,
and it is somewhat remarkable that in
most of such instances when one has
died tbe survivor has died the next
day.
No Need of Suffering from Rheuma
tism.
It Is a mistake to allow anyone to
suffer from rheumatism, as the pain
can always be relieved, and in most
cases a .cure effected by applying
Chamberlain's Liniment. The relief
from pain which it afford^ is alone
worth many times its cost. It makes
sleep and rest possible. Even in cases
of long standing this liniment should
be used on account of the relief whic.i
it affords.
Do not be discouraged
until you have given it a trial. For

Fearful Torture*.
Some years ago I wa» a teacher In
Afghanistan, and during my stay In
that country I was often an unwilling
witness of some horrible exhibitions
of torture. Here Is one they use in the
case of women to extract testimony.
It consists In prying off the finger
nails by means of a small chisel or
brad awl, which Is shoved In slowly,
but firmly, from tbe finger tip down
ward under the quick of the nail, which,
is then lifted up and out
This Is another that I once saw used
In the case of a small cblld who would
not own np to some petty theft: Sticks
were thrust between its fingers and
the fingers then squeezed together, so
that the sticks crushed into tbe bones.
So much for women and children.
Here Is a method of eliciting Informa
tion from an unwilling man: The cul
prit is stripped to tbe waist and then
boiling oil Is flicked on to bis back.
This seldom fails to find tbe man's
tongue.
Tbe above are the chief forms of
••fahana," or torture, for tbe purpose
of eliciting Information, but It must
be stated that such Inflictions as nip
ping of noses, tearing out tongues or
splitting eyeballs do not come under
tbe bending of "fahana." they being
punishments rather than tortures.—
London Standard.
Duchess* and Anarchist.
Upon one occasion the Dnchesse
d'Uzes and Louise Michel met at the
bedside of a poor sick woman whom
they were mutually aiding. They met
here frequently for a brief period. Tbe
woman died. Louise Michel, who was
present at the death, wrote to tbe
duchesse: "Madame—Our poor friend Is
dead. I have looked among her few
belongings for a souvenir for you.
Here Is a small piece of passementerie
done by her bands. Accept It." A
few days afterward line, la Duchesse
d'Uzes, nee Mortemarb went to the
borne of Louise Michel, the anarchist
—a bizarre abode at Leva Hols where j
the poor found always both a good I
word and a piece of bread—to tbank ;
the "red virgin" for her letter and her i
gift A friendship so was cemented
between the oddly assorted pair that
was later not without result In tbe
operation of the most gigantic charity
of tbe Duchesse d'Uzes—Boulangertsm.
