Potatoes-
The woman from the country who
hu been huving her potatoes by the
pound in paper bags to her great dis-
gust since sho came to town bad an
argument with a street vender of
whom she bought a bushel of the tu-
bers the other day. “There you are,”
•aid the traveling marketman. “three
pecks and a half—a good bushel.’’ but
across the housewife’s mare of latter-
day erudition wandered a stray frag-
ment learned at the little red school-
house when all “toed the crack," says
the New York Commercial Advertiser.
‘.‘Four pecks make one bushel," and she
promptly informed the salesman thht
his bushel was not so good after all.
“Can’t help that, three pecks goes in
New York,” returned the vender. “It
is impossible,” Insisted the house-
keeper, “1 shall ask my grocer." But
to her surprise both the family grocer
and others of the same craft to whom
different members of the family put
the question. Just for the sake of
curiosity, agreed that in this city three
packs is counted for a bushel. One old
grocer, who declared he had seen the
plan of selling vegetables change from
measure to weight in his experience,
explained it thus: “ ‘Struck measure'
Of such things as may be leveled with
ttto hand, such as corn or wheat,
counts four pecks to the bushel, but
potatoes necessarily rise above the toy
•of the measure and go the custom ie to
heap up the bucket and fill It three
times, counting it as four pecks." In
the country, on the contrary, the farm
ers give four pecks rounded. It would
ha interesting to learn how much the
city grocer makes in the transaction.
"And he makes no account of the in-
terstices between the potatoes. I’d
like to chop up his peck of potatoes
into bits the sire of kernels of corn
and submit the result to ills ‘struck
measure’ and see bow well his henpari-
up three perks would hold out.” quoth
the victim.

Old Kulns lirilllintly Illuminated at a

A quaint old custom still prevail*
in the beautiful country on both sides
of the Danube. 100 miles above Vienna,
commonly called the Wachnau. At
the summer solstice fires are lit. on all
the more prominent heights of the
mountains that give the Wachnau ita
peculiar charm. The picturesque
towns and villages on both shores are
beautifully illuminated, and the
bridges across the great river are
ablaze with a million lights. The moil
charming sight of all this year was
the illumination of the ruins of Cas-
tle Durenstein, above tvrems, the leg-
gendary castle where Richard Coeur
de Lion heard Blondel sing outside his
prison walls. This festival is now
called Johannisfoier, or St. John's

old people call it by its real Pagan

MIS BUSINESS.
THE BURGLAR.
Donaghue knelt at the door and put
a practiced ear to the keyhole. There
was a faint sound of breathing, so still
that Donaghue pressed his rough ear
still closer to the brassy aperture in
the door and listened even more Intent-
ly. HI© small eyes glistened in the dark
hallway like the eyes of a cat (he had
been nicknamed "The Cat" for this
veiy peculiarity), but there was no one
In the house to see those glistening
I eyes save the servants, fast asleep two
stories above, and the occupants of this
one room. He had watched that house
three preceding days aud nights. He
kseji. that it xw ni-rtipi«d hy a yocag
man and his wife—evidently newly
married and beyond doubt rich. He
knew that the servants were a cook,
wo maids and a butler and he had
almost worked out in his mind Juat
whora the pretty wife placed her Jew
ry when she went to bed iu the sec-
ond-floor room, and just what means
the husband took to secure his proba-
bly well-fllled purse.
Donaghue was patience personified,
and he received the reward tbit all
patience deserves. His thin face broad
ened Into a smile as he realized the fact
that tile breathing was that of a wom-
an, and that she was alone.
When one Is in the habit of making
social call a of the description that
Donaghue was making it is much (let-
ter to find husbands away from home,
the servants and occupants of the
house all asleep, and the policeman on
the beat quite out of hearing.
Donaghue was not in the habit of
entering the mansions of the rich by
the front door, or being ushered into
the presence of the hostess tiv a liv-
eried flunkey, of making polite inqul-
ri'i concerning her health, and depart-
ing. after leaving his card.
The fact was, Donaghue shrank from
notoriety. He preferred a quiet en-
trance by the window wholly nriob-
»erved if possible, and. departing, left
not his card nor anything else was of
"There’s nothing the matter with
this,” said Donaghue, almost aloud.
“She won’t look so pretty in the morn-
ing, after she has cried for an hour or
two. She'll cry. of course, but she's
rich, and can afford to lore them. She
can get others just like them. Her
husband will buy them for her Just to
keep her pretty mouth shut about his
being out so long. Hanged If I see
how he can keep away long enough to
g!vo a fellow like me a chance to make
a living."
He turned and looked at her. He
felt like adding a stolen kiss to the
other 1eweie be had ;akon. IIa almost
laughed aloud at the thought of such
a man as he kissing such a peerless
beauty ns the woman who lay on the
bed before him. And he was Just about
to depart as ipeacefully au a social
caller, whin suddenly he heard the
slamming of the'front door in the Hall
below. *•.
"Her old man." said Donaghue, for-
esting that he was probably a young
man; "and I’m caught Caught -bur-
glary-ten yea”8 af least. I’ll kill him
Put I’ll be caught whether I kill him
nr not, and" fself-upbraidingly) “I
could have got away easily enough if
I hadn't stopped to look at her ”
Again he stepped quickly to the floor-
and listened. He heard footsteps in
the hall beneath, The man had stepped
into the back parlor, or library, which-
ever it was. Perhaps the man had been
out on business and would stop there
for a. minute or two at his desk. Per-
haps there was, after nil. a chance for
reespe. -He was cool and careful. He
dropped the Jewels on the bed. it would
not do to be caught with them abou:
him. And he went out.
The door squeaked this time, anil the
young wife started in her sleep, awoke,
and half-rose in her bed,

the contrary, he was of medium height.

"Dead easy,” said Donaghue to him-
self. “A young married couple, as I
thought, and husband’s away on the
loose. She'fl calling his name in her
sleep. But I needn’t expect him until ,
morning, and when he docs come home i
he’ll probably be drunk. That's what
I call dead easy." »

found that the door was not locked and
that in nil probability it would not
squeak.
"The easiest thing I’ve struck In my
twenty years’ experience.” said Don-
aghue, again to himself—a remark that
was noteworthy only because Don-
aghue was little over 20 years of age.
and. therefore, must have begun his ;
efforts to get on in the world at quite
Slowly and with infinite care he ■
opened the door anil entered the room. ;
Four feet from him, as he stood al- i
most breathless, with his hand still j
clasping the knob of the door, lay the
sleeping form of a woman. A flood of 1
upon |
the pink of her cheek,
her throat, the lace of her J
night-dress, and the white sheet thar
wrapped her. Into one seml-golden hue. 1
The undulation caused by her breath-
ing made her look like a drooping Illy
swayed by the gentlest of breezes.
“Great heavens!" thought Donaghue
"what a beauty!” He could hear her
faintly mutter the name "Paul Paul”
at intervals, and ho had a vague con-
sciousness of a certain disrespect for
Paul, whoei er he might be. A man
must be a brute to leave snoh a wont
an alone at night. Mo lingered but a
moment, though. Beauty was a tiling
of little value to Donaghue His own j
Maggie was hardly cursed with the j
fatal gift of beauty, and she was quite i
ne jealous as other wives He steeped |
softly and quickly to the dressing-case
at the other end of the room He
picked up a perfumed lace handker-
chief and threw it nway impatiently,
although in his more youth Nil davs
a lace handkerchief he would have
considered a prize of no mean value
jV»tow it lie fru\T>d what he wanted
and expected a locket and chain, a 1
Jeweled watch, a heavy bracelet, a ;
pin, and what seemed to him a handful j
He paused and listened at the top of
the stairs.
Even though the man had heard the
door squeak he had not left the back
room.
Donaghue tripped down the, m.airs as
softly as a cat. lie had been'' ifi r tight
fix before, and lie was never Weycrer
than when he knew that he was in
danger.
But luck was against him. There
was a fur rug at the foot of tho stairs.
The floor beneath was polished. He
slipped and fell, and in spite of him
self he uttered an exclamation that was
profane enough to be unmistakably
masculine. Hh hoard the man rush
from tin library, and non i aii hap
pened he hardly knew, hut some wat-
Or other lie managed to dash into the
dark parlor, to throw open the window,
and jump out.
He expected to fall at least eight or
ten feet. He did not fall two. Ha had
Jumped out on a porch, evidently, for
lie could see the railing in the moon-
light. There was one thing to do - to
hide directly beneath the window in
the shadow and wait. He knew his
pursuer would lie there in a moment.
He knew there would he a hue and cry.
Still there was a chance.
True enough, the man came to the
window but, to the infinite surprise
of Donaghue. he made no outcry. He
heard tlie man utter a half-articulate.
“Heiiveiir! lias it come to this!” He
heard him walk a few steps and strike
n match. He saw the light of the gas-
jets from the window and then lie
know that he was safe, and he cursed
himself for a fool for leaving the jew-
els bell I nil.
It was tantalizing. He raised him-
self cautiously anil looked in the room

of it. Resides, he had a sort of dare

might get the jewels, lie waited
He had hardly time to'scratch hla

Calmly the woman raised herself to

been here at last—perhaps not for th“
first time. But I have found it out. 1

Donaghue heard a stifled moan and

The woman was not moaning now
hut in a dead faint, and with her f - *•
as white as tha sheet that covered he
in the room above, she lay motion es-
at the feet of the man who accu-eu
her.
The man stood over her with burn-
ing Cheeks and clenched hands.
"And the cur ran away from you?
He didn't even stay to fight me like a
man! He’s a coward. 1 knew it when
we met him lit Baden. He’s, a villain.
I knew it when he followed us to I.on-
don. He can take yon now. I don’t
want you. And Bonn day he’ll run
away from you. poor, beautiful, miser-
able fool, just as hi has run away from
me."
There was considerable human na-
ture in Donaghue. even though he did
make his living in a peculiar way.
This was a little more than hp could
stamj. He jumped vip and leaped buck
through the window.
"Look here.” lie shouted, and then
was suddenly silent, for a pair of
strong hands were clgsped about his
throat, and the heavy weight of the
larger man had borne him to the floor
in a moment.
"You. such a being as you, my wife’s
lover!" roared tiie man.
"No!" screamed Donaghue, making a
desperate effort to free himself.
“Well, who are you?” said the man.
"Let mo sit up und I’ll teil you.”
answered Donaghue.
The man released him. still keeping
him within arms’ reach in the corner
of the room. Donaghue felt his throat
tenderly.
"Well?" said the man, peremptorily.
“I’m the man that was in the house,”,
said Donaghue sullenly.
"What do you mean why were you
here?” asked the man.
"Well,” answered Donaghue. regain-
ing some of his customary bravado,
“1 wanted to add some of your
Jewelry to my collection. See?..........If
you don’t believe me. you’ll find It
where 1 threw it away, up in your
wife's room.”
“I shall send for the police and have
you arrested." said the man, quietly.
"That wouldn’t be very fair,” said
Donaghue. "I came back here because
I wanted to clear things up between
you and your wife. I could have got.

The man turned and dropped to his
knees by the^,side of the prostrate
woman. He ^iut ills ear to her heart,
and when he raised his Tie.td again
Donaghue saw that there were tears in
his eyes.
"Thank God. she has only fainted!”
said the man. "Bring me some water
from the library.”
Donaghue brought the water in a sol-
id silver pitcher that mpd" him sigh
with a vain wish that lie had got away
with it and the jewels above. ../
"She will he aii right in a moment,”
said the man; “and you may go."
"Thanks.” said Donaghue, noncha-
lantly. going toward the window,
“Perhaps It is I who might to thank

It would not seem a very easy thing

a traveler through western Indian ter-
ritory saw some prairie dogs doing.
The story is told in Forest and Stream.
The traveler was resting under a tree
when he noticed a commotion among
some dogs near him. They would run
up to a certain spot, peep at some-
thing. and then scamper back. Look-
ing more closely, he .ttw ft'-eey—to
twenty dogs about a rattlesnake, which
presently went into one of the dog’s
holes. No sooner hud it disappeared
than tiie little fellows began to push in
dirt, evldenty to fill up the hole. By
the time they had, pretty well covered
the entrance the snake stuck his head
up through the dirt, find every dog
scampered off to a safe distance, nil the
time barking. The snake slowly
crawled to another hole about a rod
distant, and went In. Then forward
came the dogs again, and all went to
work to push up earth to the bole.
Tills time they succeeded, and. com-
pletely covered the entrance. This
done they proceeded to bent down the
earth, using their noses to pound it
with. When it was quite hard they
went away. Thd traveler examined
their work, and was surprised to find
that they had packed the earth in solid
with their nosea, and had scaled the
snake inside.
