Tha day after Mr, Coombs' funeral waa raw and dull. One of the nelBb hmt l**d mado Martba proiuiie to aama to her houte for dinuer, and Mag all of the other cblidrca with kar.
"Brerybody bat been to kind." told Mwtba to ber titter and brotben. aba bad In her lap tome ptpert that •ha bad taken from tbe tin box lu iwblch her faiher had kept tbeui for yaata.

Bome had ccalf, and were •lauljr legal papers; otliert tremcd la be old notci and blllt, and there WMa a good mnny bnilurtt letteri.
Aa Ur. Comba had told Miriha that gmm of the pupei-i wer? of auy value, ¦¦d bad adrltcd bet to bnm them, aba MW removed a lid of tlie kllclieu Mara, and began to droii llicm, uue by MM, on tbe coali.

"Father could nevri- hold a grudge agaiaat any one," lald Martha to ber- ¦•ir. aa abe unfolded the paper. Blip Igtaai tbe document, out ou her kuee.

Martba looked at the date of the ¦•ta.   It waa thirty yeart old.
"I wonder who tbit Jusitu D. C.ye waa, aad I wonder wbat 'outlawed' aald Martba. "I'm going to Mr. Maratou about It when we go avir tbere to dinner, and I om going la keep tbia note, becauie. wuen I Ihlak at it, 1 don't believe there It aMibar line of poor fotbcr'a hand- wrltlag in the boute."
Mr. Martton told Martba that the •rord "outlawed" written on the note, ¦aaa tbat the aioney due could cot Iw collected by law, and that a nolc waa wortbett after a certain number •t raati.
"If your fr.ther hat written 'out- lawad' ou tbe note. It it of no value," eaadoded Mr. Martton.
"Bot a pronilte to pay ought to be ¦••d at tuy time," uaid Marlba.
"It otigbt to be. bul iiufortunately It laa't good in the willlcu law. The ¦aral law it auotber mailer," taid Mr. Martton.
Wbea Marlba weut back home tlie teak tbe note from ilic drawer In wbkb ahe bad placcti il, nml rei^d K again. A (ow miuuie* later the boaied bvrtelf wiib aume kltcheu AMtea.

She wat cattlag a atrip froni a uewtiiaper, WhM bar eye fell on thit paragraph:

Martba looked nt ihe litle of ibe yagtt aod read, the Loulsborough lia- aMte.
"lt't the town where ftiher llveil before be and mother were married. I aat aurr ibat Juatin L>. Yyo and Ibe l^aa wbo olgncd hit name tu that note art tbe tame. And be It worth a aOUov dollar*:'

All day the pondered over what rbe had read. Toward- evening tbe had to go down to one of the village ttores. She waa patting the railroad ttatlon, when an idea aaggetted Iteelf to bor. "I'll go In and aak the agent If he can tell me how far it It to Louls- borougb, and how much It would cost to go there."
The Information the received was ditconriglng. It would cost at leatt twenty-flve dolltrt.
"And that Is every dollar we have In tbe world," taid Martba. "I'll have to give It np."
But the more tbe tbought about It the lett willing the felt to give It up. On the momlng of tbe third day she told to her titter:
"Ann, do you think that you and the Ilttle boyt could get along without me for two or three dnyt and nightt If I got Jane Lewis, the teamstrers, to come lo and ttay nightt with you'/"
"I'd rather have her than any one elte, but where are you going, Mar¬ tha?"
"I'm going to a place called Louis- borough on a matter of business," sold Martha, with a souse of importance,
Bhe would bare lilced to keep her going a secret, but this was Impossible In a Ilttle town like Osborne. By tbe time tbe wat ready to itart, ihe entire village knew where sbe was going aud with what purpose. The general opiulou was that It wns "a rool'H errand," but Jiartlia was not lo bo moved.
It took her a day nud a night to go to Loulsborough. Slip bail never boeu in such a large clly. nml the hurry nud bustle I'ou'urrd her. Soiuo iu Os¬ borne had told her to ask a policeman liow te tind Mr. ti.ve's house, aud whon she saw a lihie-conted ofllcer at one ond of the station platform, she weut up to hiiu and calil:
"Cau you lell mo where Mr, Justiu D, Oyc lives';"
"He lives three or four iniles from here, miss, but his place u( business isn't more Uinu live minutes' wnlk."
"I ilou't lliiuk Ihat I want to gu to his house. I want to sec him ou—ou buslncff."
"Then you'd bettor go fa bis oflloe. Co right up tills street until you come lo K street. Hnlf n blo.<k dowu tbnt you'll couie tu n big uinrblo front buildiug. Take llie elevator oud xlw elevator boy will show you Just whore It is."
Mni'llia's limiil. forlonj appearance appealed to Ibis big guardian of Iho law, and moved hiu, lo be thus ex¬ plicit. It was well for Marlba that slio did not hoar him tay, at he moved awny—
"Wliat can slio want with old llyo? If ihc't on a beggiug errand, tbe'd better save ber brenlb."
Martha easily found the marble building, aud her heart began to flutter a Ilttle whon tbe saw a shining brass plate at tho side of tho doors with Ihe name jutlin I>, Gye ou it iu Mack letters, Belcw tbo plate she read, "Roomt 24 Lnd S«."
She did not take (be elevator, but climbed the inaible Malrwny, nnd nl the bead of the flrst fllglil she found roomt 24 and 26, wilh Uye't name ou both doora.
An almott Irreeltllble Impulse lo flee from the plaoe and take Ihe flrtt traiu for Otborie oeited Mrrtha. The vory atmotphere of the place ohillod and deprecacd hor. lit marble tplrudur made her reiliie hor shabby appear¬ ance. Her dntly. wuru old shoes looked ont uf place on Ihe marble floor. The cheapnets of her block skirt, her worn Jacket and faded plraw liat iupretsed Itself up-in hor. Her ungloved hand trembled ts she laid It on the thiuinc brass door knoli.
In the rnoui she entered half a dozen clerks wei-i> al their desks and liiore were ntbir clerks lu a ruom lv>. yuud. A boy lu livery ramo furwaid and  nsked   ber ivbum  sbo  wauled   lo

"Mr. (jyo." replied Marlha.
"He's busy," waa ilie reply.
"I ooulU wail." said Marihii.
"Have you a card In send in?"
"No," r«'iilied Martba, w:ib h l.insh.
"You'll have to s»nil Iu your uame flrat.'•

"Yea. tir."
"I am extremely busy aad can give you but a few minutei. Wbit do you want?"
"I came from Osborne, which Is sev¬ eral hnndred miles from here, to bring you this."
Martba walked forward and handed Mr. Gye the old, faded, outlawed note, Bhe stood quietly by bis desk and watched him at be read It.
"There it something written on the otber side, sir." tbe said quietly, when lie bad read tbe note and let It fall. He took It up and read ber father's words on the back of the note. His band trembled and his eyes were downcast when thu note again fell to his desk.
Martha  fancied   that   be   looked   a little pale, and she saw him bile his lip under bis groy mustache.   He put one  liaod over his eyes.    His  olber arm  fell heavily at  bis side.    There was  sllonee in tbo room for fully a minute; then, with his hand ttlll be¬ fore  bis eyes, he asked.  In a husky voice: 'Where did you get this?" "I found it among some old papers of  my  father's,  sir." "Are you Janed Coombs" daughter?" "Yes, sir."
"And hc is living yctV" "No, sir. He died flve days ago. and I brought the note to you because hc died so poor that I bavo not a dollar for the support of my sister and my three little brothers, aud I want to keep them together if I con. I read In a paper about how prosperous you wore, sir, and although the note Is 'outlawed,' I felt that you might feel willing to pay something on it."
He took bis hand from his eyes and offered It to her.
"You did right to bring It lo me." he said. ".Sit down on this cbair and tell me obout yourself and your father. He was a good man."
"He was, indeed," said Martha, witb tears in hor eyes.
There wero tears, too, io the eyes of the man as sbe told bim of her faUior'e disappointment, and of tbe poverty iu which bo bad loft his cbildreu.
"They lold me in Osborne," sho said In conclusion, "that it would be use¬ less for me to come bore with au outlawed note, but I did not think so." "You were wiser than Ihey," be ssid gravely, hut with a smile, "for I shall pay every dollar of Ihe note, with in¬ terest in full, and oven this will not atoue for my lack of duty In uot flnding .vour fatber aud paying Ibe nolo years ngo. I sball see to it that his children sball lack nothiug tbat tiioy need horoafter."
Thoro was groat excitement in Os¬ borne wben Martba returned with lbo nens that sbe and bor brothera nnd Bifiter wore to go to Loulsborough to live In a home of their own.

The sauce piquant of a nation is compre.ised lo that oue county, aud in tbe spring the flelds of 1/rlllinnt canary yellow and of brown aro sights for tourist oyos, ns Ibe pungent odor of millions of mustard flowers is grateful lo Ibelr nostrils.
In tills region 2000 acres are culti¬ vated to the sofd, Ihe Industry em pl.iying about 2lX) farniors No ouo employs himself cxchisivel.v In culii- vatlng the plant, because of its refusal to yield two successive crops upon Ibe same land. Accordingly Ibo mustard raiser cau unly devote a part of his farm to it each season. The land from wblch he harvested hia crop Ihis yonr must next year be plauted lo beans or barley, corn, pumpkins ur beets. Indeed, results show thnt It pays lu skip two .vears lu planting mustard and only turn the soil lo Its use every Ihird season. What active prluclplo thore Is in Iho soil Ihat Is wilbdrawn liy Ihls exacting plant lo Ibo land's luipoverlsiiment haa not yet been de- lerniliiod. Wben il Is solved, however, and Ihe salt or other chemical neces- essary lo supply to tbe soil Ibo ex¬ tracted Ingredient is Identifled. un¬ doubtedly tbe growing of muslnril will become a promlueut industry in Call¬ forula.
At present It is n coniparatlvely un¬ known Industry, tbougb mustard bas been raised In Lonipuc Valley for nearly eiglilccu j-eiirs. Atlentiou w-aa first dran-u lo the possibility of grow-- inlg it liy the abundance uf n-lld mustard on the hills and in tlie vnlley sweeps tbrougli mauy parts of Santa Itnrhara County.
Tbo land selected for mustard grow-- ing Ills In Ihe middle of the vnlley and along tbe banka of tbp Santa Yncn River. Tbo soil Is deep sediniciil. dark aud alniosl entirely without grit. Some mustard is grow-u on a light, sandy loam, imt the heavier soil is preferable, as It not only produces larger crops, but Is not so feeble after the crop is removed. Indications of rain nre important, ns it is almost use¬ less to sow mustard fur growing dur¬ ing a dry winter. It requires plenty of w-ater and cool weather iu the rip¬ ening and podfllling season. It Is for thia reaaon liiat tbo I.uuipoc district is so adapted to Its grow-tli; being cloae to the sea, it is visited during much of Ibe yenr by heavy fogs, wblcii roll in every liight nml precipitate little rnins iu Ihomaelves. besides keep¬ ing the hot sun awny from tbe Innd aud providing tbe coolness so mucb re quired by the musturd.
The toil beiug selected, il is broken lip imuiediateiy after tbe lirst raiu or tbe seasou. It is cultivated from time lo time lo keep it opeu aud to keep tlip weeds and grass don-n uniil about thp niiildle of .lanuary. wlien It is siioH-n to brown, called nlso Trieste, mustard. If it Is proposed ui plant 11 to the yellow variety tbo sow-- lug may be dpferred until March.
The seed is sow-n broadcast, w-lth tbe band, from three and one-balf to fuur pouuds being dlstrilnited lo the ncre. It Is tben bnrrowed in Ibe ordinary way. The mustard presents a pietty Bight wbile growing, especially w-lien young, aud at Ibis stage It maaes an excellent siiiad, liaviug a pleasaut, puugeut flavor. Tbe white variety Is ofteu sow-u In England for niusiaril greens, which arc usikI Iu place of bpinacb. aud Is also used as foud for sheep after the turnip aud laiH' crops have proved failures, tiie piaut lielug of rapid growth and tbe proveuder fairly nuurlsbiiig and good. Tbe Lompoc crops, bowevor. are never turned to these uses, Ihe ultimate pro- duct beiug Ibe ouiy tbiug in view-; aa the brow-n variety produces tbe most per acre more land Is grown to it tbuu to Ihe yellow.
Tbe mustard stalk Is stra-T colored, growing from throe lo five feet iu height and bearing its characleri.stic fluw-ers. It bears an ublucg pod from an luch to severnl Inches lu leugtb, and coulains oue row of seeds. When the plant Is mature and Ibc seeds aro ripe. Ihe hull of the pod becomes dry and shell-like, and tbe stalk is very brittle.
The harvesting is I'.one witb a self raking reaper. Tliis cut.s tbe stoiUs and throws tbem up in br.nches. wbec they are left to cure iu tbe tun, the gathering taking place in late suiu¬ mer, when tile fogs hnvo ilisappenreil. When dry the stalks are ccilected in header w-aguus ami are hauled in sumo central placo, wbero Ihey an- dumped upon .i large burlap sheet. &0X50 feet In size.

Wby this should lie is a surprise to many, yet tbe cause Is not fur to seek. When deciduous trees an- planted it is either spring or autumn, wlien Ihey nre bere't of foliage. At sucl; times the calls on tho roots are n-ii su im¬ portant as Ibey are when fullagc is lo be supplied. Tin- evergreen is never without foliage: and it la be¬ cnuse of Ihla so mucb mon- ciiic is required In trausplautiug It. There is no reason why so niudi care sbould be taken to preserve llic leaves, wben, by reducing their nuinbpr. Ibc s.-.foly of the tree »-ould lie so mucb :,C.- vauced.

Light-colored paiuted w-ood worl) sbould l»e duated lightly wilh a brush. The great secret In cleaning paint sue- .--essfully is lo do It very quickly and nse only a little w-ater. rinsing It as soon as cleau In clear water, and let- ling It dry quickly. Tbe water used may have some imw-dered soap or olher .--leanslng ngent dissolveil In It. Black painted woodwork cnu be very easily .--leaned and brightened by rubbing with a rag dipped In eilber kerosene -ir oil and turpentine. This could also be applied to light polut work If very dirty. The hinges of creaking doors should also be attended to at this time, the defect being easily remedied by applying n feather dipped In oil. This will also ease a stiff lock cr door¬ handle.—Ledger Monthly.
A Dealrable DInInc Room.
If. while you are sojourning for Ihe summer elsewhere, your bome Is un¬ dergoing repairs or regeneration. It will pay you to extend much of your thought ou Ibe dining room, csiieclally where It serves as a seml-llving room also, as some dining roomt do. The dining room Is really one of the most important rooms In the house, for It it there thntfamlllescomelntothe closest contact, nnd w-here guests arc enter¬ tained. Of course, a long, low-ttuddcd, paneled dining room Is first and fore¬ most as far as desirablllt.v goes, but too often out of tbe question In a city house. Yet, given an attractive wall covering, old oak fumlthtngs, old- fashioned china, and a floor immacu¬ lately waxed and polished, and the room Is bound lo be n success. One Inrge rug In the centre of the floor and one of similar color, texture ond de¬ sign nt the door. Is a lietter arrange¬ ment tban severnl small rugs. It Is better tasle to have Ihe furniture match or blend w-lth Ihe floor cover¬ ing, but n lounge upholstered In cre¬ tonne In Delft colorings may be per¬ mitted when walls aud floor are on this shade of blue. A uumber of com¬ fortable cushions should be added to this couch. When the room Is used as a Ilvlug room the table may be covered with u blue denim cover embroidpred lu scroll pattern and scalloped with white, .but usiifllly Ihc plain pollahed top is preferred, with n dainty pot of ferns for a ceutre In wiuter and n ho"vl of flowers In summer.—Philadelphia Rccord^

Abraham made it hia buiiattt lo MMMlt practical rehgion in hit family, tad thit it Kiven ta the reaaon why Ood wauM BHiha Known to him Uia purpote eonotmiat So¬ dom.
'20. "Cry-ia great." That it, thttt dlita have sinned very grievoutly,
21. "I will go down." I will iaoaiira into tht facta. Uod could not hart Vtai in doubt, but He detirtt to thow to Ahca. nam thtt He waa not judfiaa hialilr, or without full knowletige of UIOm ImU.
22. "The men turned," etc. Tha tt»B nngela who accompanied Jthorah wtrt nuw aeni to«-ard Sodom, while the third, which it ealled tht Lord or Jchcrah, rt- mained with Abraham. Al Ood it utrm aeen in any bodily shape, coataqiMathr tha grent angel nt the covenant, Jetut Caritl, must he meant.
'.'3. "Abraham drew near." (I) la bod¬ ily presence, (2) in apirituti natrattt, (f) in holy fervency, (4) with boldnttt. (n ia humility, (S) with confldtnce. "Wilt Thoa nlao deatroy," It ia a nriaciple of iatUea that Ihe righteoua ahaU not bt puaithtd for the Crimea of the wicked, tad tUt Abraham laya down tl the foundatioa et his aupiilicationa.
24. ''Fiftv righteout." Thett ware aart riitlitcoua than exiatcd in tht eity, Wa would not even know thtt Lot wat rifht- ri.ua had not the apottle Peter told nt. Hut true charity and goodnitt alwtyt hapa Uie beat and not the wont.
•2.5. "Shall not tht Judat-do |ri|hir ".\braham mutt have had oirine ttacUac concerning the fact that Jthorth wta tii world's Judge," Thia iaipHtt that Ooi would certainly do right, althoofh Mwt. h.-im might not aee how,
26. -Ir I find-I will iptta." Bo hillKi fully w-ould ttod protect Hit ehaitu oata when appealed to by Abraham in their hm half. Nor doea thia go to ihow that Bki will not ptotect them unleti nrftd tn do ao by othera. It doat thoir, bowaver, tha power and value of prayer.
27. "Duat and aahes." Duat it ny ori¬ gin and sahea ia my end. By thttt aa> presaiona he ahowa how deeply hit taal waa liumbled in the preaenct of Ood, "they Mho aland neareat to God art tht aoM humble. The boldneai of ptaytr maat ba ever Icranered with humility,
'IS. '"There ahall lack." Tht toftW al the rity baing granted OB tht etMnOB Ihnt fifty righleoui could bt fonnd, Ahta- Imm takea courage and aaka ttIB largtr lliiuga.

He wal climbing tht laddtr uf ..ope and faith; with etch promfaM hp took courage to aik for more: ha glPW, into laraer viainiu of Ood'i gooantit.
312. ''But thia once." Abrthtro't intar* reasion wta limited hacame tht iaitrttt ¦nr wna but a man: it did not rtaeh tha need. He aaid, I will apeak yet bal thia unce, nnd there hc atopped ahort, at it ifraid of having preaented too larg* i drtft nt the treaaury of infinite grace, or foratt- ling that failh'a check,waa ntvtr yet ait- honored at Uod'a bank. It wtt not thtt Umt waa not able to give, for tbtft woiaa nhiindani-e uf grace and patianct in Hua to have harkeiied to Ilia aerrtat hta ha procreded to three or one; but tht ttrvaat wna limited, and afraid of overdiawiag bia ount.   He ceaaed to aak and Oad i

,11. "The l>ird went Hit war." Tba ta- ael—,Ichovah- with whom Abrtbtm had been communing, went Hia way, Ahira- ham'a prayer waa anawend, though aot in the way be expected. I. The ridkttoaa were delivered from the rity, S. By the destruction of tlie city rightcouaatit wtt promoted.

In chapter 19 we havr an account of tha drat met inn of Sodom nnd tht citiea of tha plain. The Iwo angela that left Abraham nrni to Sndiim (19: 1), where thty wtrt n.eivrd kindly by Ixit. hut ihtmefttlljr used hy the people of Sodom.
