^Landgaimt Thorajfooa the door^ ball, RutrleAvbo can it bo?" fjxclaime<t gobd Mra, Robing, aa tba far-away tlnklo raachad tha pracincta of the kitoban.

And Ruth, its tho quickeat way of aoWing tba quoation, put down the aaka that aho wag ntirringv and am Awiored tha call.

Two young man In gtyliah summer rnutu, with linen duatera and unbrallaa in their handa* each took off a dainty gtrttw hat,

"Dooa Mm, Robitik l ive^rrer asked tha tailor one. (

••¥#*;" gaid Ruth. "Will you walk In;1' uabaring them into a low ceiled room. Anold*fafthioned, largo flowered carpet covered tha floor, and heavy,

[straight becked furniture atood up gttffly againat tha wall. Criop mualin enrtaina draped tha windows, through which branchea of honeysuckle tosaed, sending their fragrance through the1

room.. , "Boarders, I goes*,"' miid Mrs. Rob-

Ins, laoonkmlly, when Ruth's message waa delivered. And so they proved to be, ' >• ..

u8uch nice spoken yofing fellows— New Yorkers,^ she reported, when she came back from theintcrview,prbduc-ing two oardn oq ^rhich were written John Bliss and IWph Ely. "Ihadto take 'em, though I don't know how we'll get along, with* no chance of getting a girl far nor near. This one," indicat­ing the loiter, "wants to stay a couple of months, but the other only a few, dnys. I don't know whaOfAtber'tl say tu it.M

But Ruth knew that the hard­working farmer usually left his "wiiA-ineii folks" to exercise their own judg­ment about such matters . "O,* we will manage some way, auntie, nev^r fear,* she answered,brightly, vigorous­ly stirring the cake by way of emphasis. An hour later found her shelling peas on the wide pinna which ran across the side of tho house,

VRather jolly old place, isn't it, Ralph P The words seemed to drift laiily down through thf air to where she sat "I wouldn't mhid spending a month or two here myself, if it wasn't for the attraction elsewhere. I'm de­termined tcfsee her." y>

"Julia Palmer, you meant ^ l e y say she has deserted Saratoga for the season, and gone off rusticating some­where,"

"Yes; but such a*girl will not long Waste her beauty on^ unappreciative people. By the-way, the young miss here is not a bad specimen of a country toe." . . , "I don't admire your taste/1 respond­

ed Ralph, "I shall be satisfied with no beaifty until I hate- aeen Julia Palmer," ,

Then, without waiting to hear more, |tuth, with a particular smile directed towards the windows above her, softly enterpd tba house and set the peas cook­ing for dinner, .

"iCy nolo* Ruth, Mr. Ely and Mr Biles,;* waa Mrs. Rjbina's characteris­tic .bode of introduction at the dinner* labia, and the young lady very quietly acknowledged it, scarcely lifting her brown eyes, thereby at once establish­ing a reputation for shyness which waa not easily dispelled.

That* evening, as the friehds saun­tered slowly home from a walk, sub­dued eo\inds of musicgreeted tbem,and a nearer approach proved it to be one of Beethoven's grand sonatas, executed in a masterly manner. They looked at each other in surprise. .

"Wonder who that is!" said Jack. "A lady boarder, perhaps. | Proba­

bly an invalid, who takes her meals alone. Hope she" will make her ap­pearance after you are gone. I'm afraid I shall <be dreadfully mnuUd in this dull old place," returned Ralph.

"A person who plays like that cer­tainly ought to be worth conversing with."

But no glimpse of the pianist was vouchsafed the young men, either that evening or until Jacks departure, which occurred a few days later.'

"Its going to be deuced loneegtoe U here," menially grumbled RatWTas \t he returned from the depot one stormy 1 morning, carefully picking Me way along tha narrow path with its droops ing fringe of wet gram "Wcnder if there is aaytli|ng in that box of a pa/* lorf .

The furniture atood up just aa firmly as on tha day of hit arrival ;th% gor­

geous carpet ftiill flaunted it* bmutlds before his unaccustomed eyes.. Mrs. Robins's marriage certificate occupied an honored place over tho high man­tel, while on either side of the room hung a framed funeral sdnne of a tomb surrounded by weeping friends, to memory of the death of her children, Abijah and Truelove. Not an ortia-ment of any kind nor a book was visi­ble, with the exception of an immense Bible resting in solitary state trpon a bare mahogany stand. Ralph sat down upon one of the slippery chair* and looked disconsolately out between the dimity curtains. * ; * * f;

No chanoe for riding or walking, and no amusement of asiy kind indoors. .

Just as he was meditating a retreat to his room for a lonely morning with cigar and book, Ruth camefn.. Ralph turned with a smile, glad of an Inter­ruption to his solitude, and noticed for the first time how very pretty she woj although scarcely in the toilet in which he was accustomed to see his young lady acquaintances. . A long linen apron enveloped her. figure, nearly hiding the blue morning dress beneath which small slippers glanced out and tn. A coquettish sweeping*cap almost covered her dark hair, leaving a few atray little waves creeping about her forehead. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes shone from exercise. 8ho carried a broom and dustpan. ,/

"I am sorry to disturb you. Mr. Klyt

n she said, "but it is necessary for me to sweep this room. In the mean­time you may find something to amuke lyou here," throwing open the door of an adjoining apartment, "Of course {you ore at liberty to return when I -have finished." j

Ralph gave a surprised look beyond the door, then, with a comical grimace and shrug at the parlor, replied:

'Thanks. With your permission, I don't think I shall return."

"As you please," ahe said, smilingly. "I am glad to have our nookery appre­ciated.." ., .4 .; ,••! — ;; . .'

The contrast between twd rooms could scarcely have been greater. In one was the absence and in the other the concentration of that refined tokte which, with a few touches of its magic wand, beautifies the most humble home. Ralph's look of surprise deep* ened aa he became familiar with his surroundings. A fine piano stood at one end of the room, and near U a book case filled with worka from tlta most gifted English, French and Ger­man authors. Easy-chairs were scat­tered about In natural positions, a few choice pictures adorned the walls, and statuettes and ortc-a-fcroc of many kinds gave the place an added charm.

That eveaing. as Ruth sat watchihg from the ptasia the glorious sunset which was succeeding the day of clouds and storm, Rojph joined her.

"I wish to tell you how much I en* joyed my morning, Miss—" he said, and then paused inquiringly,

aimer," she supplemented. ou me, but have you relative*

in Ne4 York?" he asked, with sudden intereit "A Miss Julia Palmer?"

1 1 fhav^seeu her," she replied, nd I suppose you agree Vith the

rest of the world concerning her beauty?"

Ruth blushed a little, "tastes differ, J have seen much prettier faces," she knswered, so quietly as to pique Ralph's jeiithuniasm; and then he thought what pn odd thing lie was doing to discuss Julia Palmer's brilliant beauty with Ihis quiet little country lass, and yet jtho belle herself could scarcely have looked lovelier than did Ruth in her afternoon dress of sheer white muslin, Iter pather short sleeves showing to ad vantage her shapely hands and arms* Her only ornaments were a branch of scarlet ger^amufo* at her throat, and another among the dark braids of hair. I *To return to our first subject,** {Ralph said, at length. "You do not [know what a pleasant morning I (passed in that delightful room," t "Aunty and I think it acosey place, ['she replied. "Please consider your­self at liberty to use it whenever you

"Thank you," Ralph said. 4<I shall often tfvail myself of the privilege."

"Perhaps you will wish to be* ex­cused to-night!" she said "For I usually devote my evenings to music, as house-work interferes with my practice by day. Auntie does not mind my drumming."

"And I will promise to be even a mora patient martyr than she, if you will let mer" he replied, laughingly.

"Then you must not murmur at your punishment," ahe returned.

And when Ruth's "drumming" be­gan Ralph, who, was a great lover and fair judge of music, realised that he was in the presence of an artist, who interpreted the great oompoaers more finely than he had .ever deemed it possible/

"Bo you not sing?" he asked, when at last Ruth paused.

"Sing I welj, I reckon 'she does/* proudly interpolated Mrs. Robins, who had sat qu&tly klittihg through it all. . i48ome Of herjpteces are too much

opery style to su«( me, but there ain't any body can sing them good, old-fashioned tunes sweeter than Ruth/'

The girl's face flushed at the old lady's warm praises.

with on other clew to(work on save the three white hairs, the detective decided to bring some one to the gallows. t

The murder became a nine days' wonder. Various theories overe ad­vanced regarding H, and it was gen­erally believed that the dark mystery would never he solved. Pedrillo came forward and proved himself, beyond a peradventure of a doubt, innocent of the crime of parricide.

The detective with the t h w white hairs set tq work to unravel the in­tricate _j9ciystery. He immediately came to the apnclusfon that a man of the age which those hairs indicated could not havd overcome.Signor Cas­tillo, who possessed great strength for. his years. Upon submitting them to a microscope he discovered that they were dead-that they "Bad been pulled from a wig. The murderer, then, had concealed his natural hair beneath a wig. • »

On the following day the dectectivc entered a large hair emporium and asked to bo shown white wigs. The salesman looked sighificantfy at the detective's hair which was raven black.

4*You need not look at mo," said tho detective, "the wig is for my father."

"ghat's jitfet what another gentle, man said last week," said the clerk, as he handed down a box from a shelf.

Quietly VucH'nff «couple of hairs from the uppermost wig, the detective placed them iu his poeketbook'.

"My fathersjjcpheu," said tiro de­tective, "is looking for a suitable wig for h;s uncle, and lie is probably the party you refer to. Would you please describe him?" • '. • v 5

"He was about thirty' years of age, dark complexion, small black eyes, and wore a teavy black mustache."

The detective left the store. Elated with his morning's suceesf,

he in a short time found himself in the banking house of (he murdered Sfenor Castillo. Approaching the cashier, Signor Alvarez, he asked that gentleman some questions. While answering them the latter became sat-, isfied that the man referred to by the clerk in the hafr emporium,and Alvarez were one and the same, dark complex-

eioned, small black eyes and wore a heavy black mustache: *.'

That night the detective followed Alvarez to one of the most noted gamb­ling dens of the citv. Within an hour he lost over five thousand dollars. For two weeks the officer dogged the man's footsteps. At length it was decided by the detective to bring bis espionage to a cloae. . He had carelessly men-tionedone night In his presence the mystery which seemed to envelop the murder of Signor Castillo, and a pallor swept across the face of Alvarel 1 Ho was seated in the pSrlors of a noted courtezan of the city and bis reputed mistress, when one night the detective rang the house-bell. Upon being ushered into the cashier's pre­sence the officer quietly but firmly in­formed Alvarez that he was under ar­rest on charge of murdering Signor Ca-tillo. The woman upon this announce­ment, flew at the detective like an in* f uriated tigress, and seizing him by the throat attempted to draw a revolver from her bosom. In so doing the wea­pon became entangled in her drees and was unintentionally discharged, the bail entering her right lung and pro­ducing a hemorrhage from the effects of which she died before medical as­sistance could be procured.

Such food provides nothing for the' upbuilding of brain or muscle. It will often be found that fat people are f cry weak; they have neither toughness nor . strength. On tha other bond, thin people are often ao by using the arti* cles of diet which mako the other peo­ple fat, they cannot digest the sugar, butter and fine flour to any consider­able extent, consequently Umr systems • are kept in a feverisli, dyspeptical stato;'they become nervous to Uie last degree, and the fact is that their life, i s ' being burned Out, and many audi peo­ple go into consumption for 90 other reasbntban that thejr^diet ia snch aa to produce an inflaamnCbry state; while tho ocople who cafi digest such food lay it on in the shape of fatty degen­eration of the heart, liver or kidneys.
