han dles as ho watched retreating form of wife an made her way over newly plowed ground Maybe thought he I oughter hitched up the colt and carried her over to the station But taint a an a half by road an cross lots shortens the distance some If I would taken the best part of two hours and put back plowin that much Gee Dock shouted he with a start and an inward reproach for wasting time in foolishness as he termed his little reverie The morning Bun cast its slant beams over field and meadow It glorified even dull clods of yester days upturning over which in irregu lar patches the busy spider had woven her snares and the dew had spangled them with liquid jewels Jacob saw no beauty in dew spangled cobwebs they were simply a sign of good weath er to him He knit his brow and leaned more heavily on his plow han dles as his thought recurred to the little woman almost stumbling in her haste over the rough field He thought she stooped a little more than usual and felt aggrieved that she was le- to show signs of age Women aint like they was in mothers time thought he Jacob forgot that his mothers- work was confined to the care of the little deserted log house which stood a few rods back of his pretentious brick dwelling and flocks arid herds had in creased bringing more and more work every year for one pair of tired hands to do Little Mrs Berry reached the painted shed called by courtesy the depot almost breathless from excite ment and fatigue She had barely time to buy her round trip ticket and board the train- She sank into the nearest seat Her anxious and tense she could not get over the hurried feeling She had prepared breakfast and hastily performed other household duties long lefore light and had milked before the sun had fairly risen Her thoughts were in a curious jumble As she climbed the rail fence she noticed the wild roses in the fence corners were coming into leaf and the sturdy trumpet vine had thrust its rootlets into the decaying riders I must remember just where Newmarket the late Dr first door South of Post flee to I If P A Ontario at Toronto Homo for ISM At Keswick NEWMARKET WORKS IN Monuments and Head Stones Ordering Specialist for all

manner that the feeblest digestion can deal with it This experi ence has only come by doing one thing for nearly years This means purest most evenly and delicately mixed best adapted for those whose strength has failed or whose digestion would repel an uneven Vat by end they are and maybe Ill have time to pick some when they bloom Let mo see it was yards of muslin I to get for Jacobs shirts and Id better get it all fixed in my mind She ex amined the memorandum- which Jacob had made with a little blunt pencil on the back of old envelope by the aid of a chance copy of a city paper I tell you weve got to economize like sixty now were in debt for farm I well save two dollars buy- ing in tho city and old Skinner at the crossroads storeil find it dont pay to wrangle with mo about accounts Finally Mrs Berry settled back in her seat and her thoughts turned into a channel ilaybe I can manage to go to the art museum thought she and see the pictures Miss Long told mo about She finished shopping sooner tlian she expected and had trifle left for car fare not provided for this luxury be tired sittin- still so long and need said he In a sudden spasm gen erosity he continued You might git a pair of them dollar arid a half shoes they advertise You dont really need en but you can put eni by till you do and heres a quarter for your dinner got a good one for cents Jacob neglected to state that his meal was eaten at a lunch counter patronized exclusively by men When Mrs Berrys accustomed din ner hour arrived the excitement had taken away her appetite and she be gan to feast her eyes upon beau ties of the art museum which her summer boarder Miss Long had dilated upon after work was done and Mrs Berry had a few momenta to rest on the before bedtime When she arrived at the entrance of tho museum to her consternation an admittance fee was demanded The doorkeeper courteously explained that it was a pay day She gladly tender ed her precious quarter of a dollar It seemed to her as if the gates of paradise had unclosed as she entered the domain of art and to her great joy she found Miss Long who was copying a picture Miss Long kindly laid aside her brushes to guido the visitor She conducted her to the choicest painting and statuary and ex plained the stories they sought to tell Many times she was surprised at an interruption Oh yes I know I read about that years ago before I was married I havent had time to read much since hours sped all too fast and Mrs Berry found she had barely time to reach the train As she was claim ing her parcels at the check counter the gates closed and there was noth ing to do but wait a long three hours for the next train As she took her seat a dizay faint feeling came over her and she knew nothing more until midnight when she opened her eyes too weak to ask where she was She had never been in a hospital before but when she had collected her thoughts she knew that she was in an institution of that kind A white capped administered medicine occasionally and in the morn ing a grave old doctor made his ap pearance I didnt eat anything all day she whispered and I wanted to see the pictures and it was pay day Oh yes yes exclaimed the doe- tor hastily dont waste your strength talking Jacob Berry finished his days work and sat waiting for his wife to come and cook him a good hot supper to make amends for his cold dinner The hours passed and finally his indig nation gave away to real alarm which was increased the next morning by the reception of a telegram summon ing him to the hospital He entered the huge building with awe and tre pidation but when he saw his wife alive and looking as usual a trifle paler he felt himself a much- abused man and as she told him of her visit to art museum a frown gathered on his face and the alert nurse seeing her patient was becom ing worried ended the brief interview Just as I expected began Jacob in an aggrieved tone as he entered the doctors office She brought all this on traipsing after foolishness and heres farm work coming on and I dont suppose shell be able to do much for a couple of weeks The doctor busy compounding medicine ignored Jacobs complaints After a moments silence he remarked Your wife is a hard working woman her hands show it For the first time in Jacobs life he felt ashamed of his wifes toilstained hands Well replied Jacob somewhat confused me and my wife both work hard and will have to as long as we are in debt Arent youre old enough to bo of some help queried the doctor We havent any replied Jacob Then whats the use of working so hard continued the doctor Because were in debt reiterated Jacob The Cummins joins on mine and I it last spring Ah indeed I exclaimed the doc tor peering over his gold spectacles and giving his bottle a shake so you had one good farm before you bought this one and Ill warrant money in the bank too I- know the way of these valley farmers I was brought up on a farm not far from yours I know all about the digging and pinching and saving and you say you have no children to work for so it just amounts to this You are wearing out your wifes life and your own too and out every dollar you both save possibly you may enjoy six a year and fore long some one will have your money to spend This trouble of your wifes lias been coming on a loug time and was brought on by hard work It breakdown occurred here whore she can be cared for properly It will be a good while before she gets up and she will never be able to work hard again Jacob left the hospital feeling very uncomfortable Evidently the doctor considered him responsible for his wifes condition Time hung heavily on Jacobs hands in the long week that ensued He had plenty of leisure to think over the doctors lecture The next Sunday he was in his accustomed place in- the little brick church A stranger filled the pulpit and his text was Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth He protrayed the character of the hardworking congregation and Jacob concluded that he like the doc tor spoke from personal experience He pondered upon the doctors talk and the sermon on his way home There was a long Sunday afternoon to be passed and Jacob looked over his small collection of books with a view of selecting one to while away the time He took up the Pilgrims Pro gress There was a leaf turned down at the chapter where the man with the muckrack was described there was a few blistered places that showed some one had been crying over it and with a sudden pang Jacob remembered that Martha had been reading this book the Sunday after he had told her of his purchase of the Cummins farm and that the furnishing of the parlor delayed so many yean must be post poned indefinitely The next week he paid his wife a visi- He was beginning to see him self in a new light and consequently he felt more tenderly toward her He had a vague feeling that he did not understand her He knew that she did not share in his love of money he wondered what enjoyment she could find in looking at pictures and with a view to making that discovery he visited the art museum He could not help but acknowledge that he was interested himself in the novel sight and train time came too soon On the way to the depot he stopped to look at a picture in a window the proprie tor of the store espying him and ever on the alert for a customer accosted him saying I just let you have dot picture aheap only ten dollar No no responded Jacob hastily That cow in that field looked so like my old I noticed it Veil I tell you what I will do urged the dealer I will let you have him for seven dollar The negotiations continued until Jacob left with two pictures gorgeous with the bluest of skies and the green est of verdure A mighty good bargain said Jacob to himself as hey these as that picture of a drove of cat tle at the museum that they said was worth Jacob carried his purchases home and hung them in the the sittingroom Then he feared the light and smoke might injure them and so he transferred his new treas ures to the bare unfurnished parlor He opened the shutter of the west window which commanded a view of his woodland This possession was particularly dear to him It would be kinder nice to set in here Sunday afternoons ho thought if only it was fixed up Tilda was coming next week to take charge of the work Jacob made a mighty resolve to change his manner of living Some weeks later he carried his wan little wife into the parlor and seated her in one of the gorgeous rocking chairs Some how he felt the moist ure gather in his eyes as he witnessed her almost childish delight Oh Jacob gasped she it seems like and can we af ford it Now youre in debt We aint in debty repli- Jocob- You know old man Cum mins was sick of his bargain and want ed to back but so I let him have the farm again and hes just as happy as a child and says hes getting some sleep now and he hadnt had a good nights rest all the time he was away from has old homeland he continu ed you aint never going towffk even do get well Old is going to live here the time and some day well go travelling jest think of that Im going to take you to see the ocean and all like as in them pictures at the museum looked up smiling through her tears and Jacob bent down a little is fortunate for you both that this j confusedly Mid kissed her j i 1 i A Spanned Another briugo now spans Niagaras gorge at Niagara Falls Last week the last span in the new steel arch structure which is to replace the old railway suspension bridge the second bridge ever thrown the famous chasm was connected in ihe presence of hundreds of people who watched the work from the banks on both sides of the river The new bridge which was built im mediately under the present structure without causing a days interference to traffic has a span of five hundred and fifty feet between the end tiers and a trussed span at each end one hundred and fifteen feet long connects the arch with the bluffs The total length of the bridge witb its is over one thousand one hundred and ten feet and the centre of the arch is over two hundred and twentysix feet above the water The steel ribs or main arches are four feet and three feet wide and were shipped in twentyfive ton sections from the Pennsylvania Bridge Companys shops at Pa where the entire bridge was fashioned The structure work was done by the cantilever method and no super structure was necessary Small- wire cables were run over the present towers on which trolleys conveyed men and material out over the gorge The bridge has two decks or floors On the upper floor are two railway tracks and on the lower floor there is- a wide central carriage way and room for a double trolley and side walks on each side The width of the top is fifty feet The lower floor is fiftyseven feet wide affording ous room the various purposes to which it will be put Six million pounds of steel were used in the construction of this bridge and the load it is designed to carry is enormous The arch will support on each track at the same time two loco motives of the heaviest kind followed trains weighing three thousand and five hundred pounds per square foot of the bridge and in addition a load of three thousand pounds per square foot on the lower floor A feature of the upper floor will be sidewalks built outside of each track and between the tracks to facilitate the examination of trains by the customs inspectors On the American side of the river the bed of the arch rest on masonry built on the rock but on the Canadian side it was found necessary to build a foundation of concrete on which the masonry rests These abutments are built about half way up he slope on each side The stone for the abutment on the Ameri can side was brought Jefferson County and that for the Canadian abutment from the Queenfiton quarries The bridge end of the shore span is hinged io the arch and the shore rests on exjjansion rollers on heavy masonry abutments It is expected that an car service uniting the two important sightseeing systems will be establish- before long The bridge cost in the neighborhood of Wilson Star Ninetyone Chinamen have rived in Montreal by the C P from China via Vancouver to work on the sugar plantations of Cuba A young woman in Richmond Va tells one of the local papers that when she received her first masculine kiss she felt as if something running down her nerves on feet of diamonds escorted by several little Cupids in chariots drawn by angels shaded by honeysuckles and canopied by melted rainbows Is it any won- der that girls like to be kissed A paragraph has in a number of the technical journals to the effect that carbolicaoid used as a tempering bath for steel is far or to water To test this two cold chisels were
