At the door ho was met by an old
woman who, learning his wish, cor-

him a seat by tho side of the hearth
on which a great tiro was burning.
He tilted back on the short-logged
chair with tho feeling of warmth and

ride, aud soon found himself gently

and he retired to tho room beyond.
Chris sat looking into tho fire
Nancy drew a chair near him. Ho
was scarcely aware of hor presence,
his thoughts being far away. At last
she spoke:
••I have waited long fur yer, Chris. "
He started.
~ "Did you bolieve I would comi?"
he asked.
••Yea"
Vividly he recalled the moment
when a boy ho had bidden good-by to
a rosy-cheoked girl. ••Will you wait
for mo. Nancy?" he had said. "I'll
come back and marry you some day."
Idle words, containing moro of feel-
ing than resolve, lie had long for-
gotten till the flrollght reflected upon
her face flashed into a dark corner of
his brain, and it had all come back
to lilin. He could say nothing, and
she began to toll him of the long;
weary years sho had waited. She
had no misgivings; among her own

foolish plan, for not only should tho
wick be of the right width, bnt It
should also bo of tho right thlcknesa
so that it will turn up and down easily

Another thing to ascertain Is if the
wick is worn out A lamp should
have a frosh wick every month at
least. He careful boforo lilting a new
wick to see that tho latter is perfectly
dry. it should bo placed for ten or
fiftoen minutes upon a hot pan before
fixing it into the lamp, so as to re-
move any moisture. Soaking the
wicks in vinegar and then drying
them thoroughly prevents all chance
of smoking, but of smoke thero is lit-
tle fear if the lamp is regularly and
properly trimmed. He careful in
trlmm ng the wick not to lot any of
tho charred part fall Into the burner.
This is a fruitful source of trouble

undoubtedly safer than those of glass

Theke is getting to be too much

Rniart lawyers aro continually taking
advantage of the law to shield open
violators of the law, and judgos per-

ular hypothesis, should be elected
judges, with instructions to laugh at
tho sliystering practitioners when
they tried to shield "well-known

criminal courts of the country.
