I never heard a word of It until that young friend of yours fell Into the bog, and was dragged out by ' some inconsiderate person by the hiiir of his head, and brought home to bo 5 . nursed by you."

Why, if you could have heard him yesterday! But never mind that. The fact is, Andy, that Mr. Eyre uskod rae to marry him; and —I didn’t say yes because-Well,” Sighing, “never mind thnt, either.” “Is there,” uslcs Mr. McDermot mildly, “anything I may mind?” “Yes—this,” says she, her anger growing. “He then sent for ms.” “IleP Eyre?

I’m sure to pome in handy, sooner or later, and therefore it is . necessary the plot should be laid bare to me. Come, go on! Do! We can have our little war later. What did the governor say to you?" • J “That I should marry Sir Ralph, whether I liked it or not; that noth ing should prevent my'keeping my en gagement with him. He,” puling, "gave me to understand that if I loathed Sir Ralph I should still marry him.” ' “But you don't loathe him.” “Tm not sure. I,” passionately, “I am actually certain that he has backed up father in this matter, and If only to punish me for being—you know—a little” “Yes. I know,” nodding. * “Well, to punish me for that, he too, is in the plot to compel! me to marry him.” “What rot!’ says her cousin foroi hly, if inelegantly. “That isn’t a bit like Anketell.

Nor last, nor best, that durst Once dream of the for prize, Nor this the only time Thou shalt set love to rhyme." How dark it it walking along this silent road! Dark, though only 6 o'clock. How quickly the day dies when it is December! Such a moon as this is hardly worth talking about; and ! yet, without it, obscured as It is, how I much more dismal would the night be! Was there ever before so silent a nlghtP Are nil the dogs in the farih I stcuus dead P There is no sound at [ all, unywhere, save the stir of sea in the starlight, far, far below, down there whore all things seem to sink into one. Bridget—what Is Bridget thinking nowP Has she found out she is gone? No; not yet. It is early, really, though it looks so late. Oddly onough, it is to the sorvant the girl’s mind first turns, as in her mad, angry folly sho runs along the road that leads to tbo little wayside station of which Eyre had Hpoki n to her. Her hint to Andy that she would lot lover and father and cousin see what she could do is now in process of full completion. When Eyre had suggested to her to run away with him and be married by special license, she had eertalnly, at the moment, though seem ng to dally with the Idea, no real intontion ol following it up. But Sir Ha ph’s un fortunate coldness of the day bofore, her father's sterm command, - and, finally, her cous n's mocking de termination not to help her to her folly, had been all too mtici for her childish pride. She had revolted, onco for all. Sho would show them! Eyre’s last words about the (1:30 train, his earnest, really honest ex pression as ho spoke, had lingered In her memory, and, waiting, locked up in her own room, she had, when night grew, drossod hersolf in her warmest clothing, and slipping out at tho side door, began her journey to Denygra station. was mere cvor bo long: a mile, or a road fo deserted? At first she had prayed that no one might see her on her way to the station; but now she would have given a pood deal to hear the sound of cart-wheels, or the jog trot of u farmer's horso. But there is no fair anywhere to-day in the neigh borhood, and so the road remains empty and quiet. The moon, coming out at last from behind a bank of dark clouds, serves only to heighten, rather than to lessen, her sense of lonleness. Now each hillock and tree and bunch of furze takes shape and action, and threatens to attack her on every side. The terrors of the night are great to those who know nothing of it. safe within carefully closed doors of house or carriage. To Dulclnea, running along through the dull darkness, a sense of despair, mingled with active fear, is uppermost. “Siienro, how dead; and darkness, how profound 1 Nor eye, nor list'ningearau object finds.” In vain she tells herself that it is not really night; that it is only 6 o’clock; that a few months ago, this very hour and timo and darkness would still be called day. It is, with a sigh that grows into a sob of passionate relief, that at last she sees the lamps shining in the little station before her, with, over there a .quarter of a mile to the left, the glimmering lights of the small town that hus given its name to the station. Hurriedly she enters it, and, reach ing the dim platform, that seems en veloped in a cloudy mist, stands irresolute. Only for a moment, how ever, Eyre has come to her, has seized her hand, is drawing her into the fuller lights boy, nd. “Let us stay here,” says she in a choking tone. “No one can see us here. And—Oh, a little wildly, ir. was a long walk! How far—hpw far I am from home!’’ “You are nervous,” says he, sensibly; “and it is my fault. I forgot, when 1 suggested t6 you that the walk here was only u mile, that it would be undertaken in midwinter. It never occurred to me that C o’clock would mean night at tills time of year. You must try to forgive me that. What is that you have? Your bag? Give it to me.” ±u« station is such a minor one that, at this hour, it is given up to ab solute soli’ude—almost In the far distance a sturdy farmer is trudging to nnd fro, puffing and blowing, and seeking, by eager marchings from the . Sate to the station-house, to keep some warmth in his body; and just here, where Dulcinea stands, a laborer goes by on his homeward way; and there—over there, where the gloom is thickest—stands, by all the worst luck in the world. Ralph Anketell. . He had been lunching in this part of the neighborhood during the after noon, and, expecting a parcel by this train, had decided to wait and take it home with him. He bad seen Eyre’s arrival, and wondered at his punch uallty. the train not being due for a quarter of an hour or so, had felt a sense of satisfaction in the thought that he was really leaving—a thought justiiied by the amount of luggage lying on the platform; had designedly withdrawn so far into the shade that he should be unseeu by him, not feel ing equal to a tete-a-tete with the man he suspects to be*his rival; and had seen Dulcinea's nervous entrance, and Eyre’s eager greeting her. —Is shaking her. It grows too dread ful to be borne. 'Eyre is talking to her; she is conscious of that; but no word he utters is clear to her. To go back, to go buck!—that one thought, and that only, is beating like a hammer in her braiq; but behind it and through it came another—the odd est one, surely—that if she goes she will never see Anketell again,' Presently the mists of her braia clear a little, and she cuu wondet within herself. Eyre is still tilklng— kindly, no doubt, and soothingly; but It doesn’t seem of any consequence at all what he Is saying. Ralph! what will he think when he hears she it gone—gone? What will he tbinl then? She trembles. She becomes for the first time conscious that she it cold—so cold; it must be the night air. To for one Instant imagine their meeting involuntary would be to know biibnelf a fool; and when he sees Eyre posseef himself of the small bag that Dulcinea carries, he knows the truth as surely as though all the world were orying it within his ears. Numbed—stupified— chilled to the heart's core, he stands watching the girl to whom he has given every thought and desire of his life, willfully making havoc of them. ••NervousP” says Dulcinea vaguely, staring at Eyre as if hardly under standing him. It has come home to her that certainly he does not under stand’her. Nervous! is that the word for this awful pain that is tugging at her heart? Oh, what madness had brought her here? A sense of fear—distinct—clutching that is making her shiver like this. She must go back. She will. Even ! the dull lights in the station are be ! ginning to and to her terror. Surely —surely everybody is looking at her, wondering about her, gossiping about her! Yet the ono person who in reality is looking at her with lin anguish un speakable is the one person unsuspect ed by her. Sho sighs heavily, as one might whose mind is made up after a long conflict She throws up her head. Eyre is still speaking. “Wo shall not have long to wait now.v ho is saying; “the train is just due. Come, wo had better move a little thjs way.” “I can’t!" _ Sho pauses, and looks straight at her companion, a terrible misery in her eyes. It seems as if speech had deserted her. “I won’t go any further,” she gasps at last pain fully. “You mean?” questions Eyre, as if not able to grasp the truth that lies so plainly in her white face and gleam ing eyes. As he pauses for an answer the shrill whistle of the ap proaching train cleaves the sharp, crisp air. “Forgive me,”says the girl, trembling ineverylimb. “I—I thought I could do it, but I can’t I’m frightened—I—” “I told you you were nervous.” says he. “And I know it is a wrench; but surely, darling, it is best for you; you have so often told me how unhappy you were-” “I must have lied to you." says she solemnly. “Lied. Not meaning it— not intentionally; but becauso I didn't know. I know now. I must go home; I must.” [TO BE CONTINUED.] DUEL TO THE DEATH. Between an Old Gray Rat and a Sleepy Pigeon. Before the sun had begun to light the streets a pigeon fluttered down from the top of the Federal building and began to search for the seeds and crumbs which chance/ had scattered. All day she tracked the muddy stretch of Postoffice Square, of Water and Devonshire streets, and when night was falling, tired and footsore, she flew back to the loity granite coping where she always slept She nestlod her head in the warm feathers on her breast and dreamed of days when leaky corn wagons passed through the city streets, and when the hay markot made her ancestors fat But the pestilence which walketh in darkness was astir, says the Boston Herald. Between the floors of the Federal Building, in his nest ot rags and string, a great gray rat had slept all day. When darkness had come, and the upper corridors had ceased to echo the passing footsteps, he crept out iD the search of food. In commissioner Hallett’s office he found a bit of bread. In the Law Li brary was an apple-core. But the two together were hardly enough to whet his appetite*. As he crept independent of doors and fastenings, bohind the plastering ana between partitions he found him self at a window opening on the gran ite coping. Some one had left the window open a b|lt and the rat crept out. . M- ' j Two feet to the right of him was the sleeping pigeon. The rat eyed the ball of blue feathers closely and silently. He crept nearer and nearer, and he hesitated. It looked formid ably but he was hungry. Finally, with one quick snap, he sunk his teeth into the bird's neck. With a pitiful little squeak she spread her wings and tried to fly. Tho rat’s weight bore her down, but her wings lifted her enough to raise her from the coping and to carry her over its edge-. The rodent kept gnaw, j ing at her throat. He had sunk his j teeth so deeply that he was carried !; out into the air by tho bird. Kighty feet above the pavemont the wings fluttered a moment in tho effort to support both bodies. At the height of the second story the rat squealed loudly and let go. He struck the pavement heavily, crawled a little way and lay still. The bird came down gently as she had lived. The coroner, in tho per son of a collector of the night mail, viewed both bodies at 2 o’clock a. m. Riadn Brutality.

When in Mexico four years ago, .while in Leon, I made a visit to Celaya. I will never forget the sight they showed me when leaving. In Mexico the peons have to pay $25 that is the lowest price to bury one of their dead, and after three years the bones are dug up and laid by in what I would call the place of souls so that they can have the room for others. This place of souls is about forty feet square, eighteen feet high, three walls of brick, no roof. Now, this inclosure was full of skulls, legs and arms, and Friend Warburton and another Mexican, his friend, handled them as you would shoes in a store. I could not stand the taste and smell. I imagined that I felt the taste in my mouth for several days. '1 asked Mr. Heyser how it was that the country did not provide a place for the poor peons to rest. If they paid $300 they could have a lot. where could a peon, with 25 cents per day and a family oflittle peons to feed and clothe, save $300? The most of the peons hire a coffin to be returned for a small sum, but those who can afford it buy a cheap black coffin. Green Pood In Winter, At no period of the year is it so im portant that provision should be made 'to furnish poultry with what is understood by the term "green'’ food, as during the Winter months. Our fowls are now restricted for the most part, to close quarters and from this time to March or April all the ereen stuff our birds can obtain must be artificially fed to them—in the shape of cabbages, turnips, etc., or hay stored for this purpose. The lat ter is an excellent thing to vary the food with and in the absence of vege tables will be eaten eagerly either as rowen or dry chopped hay. For breeding stock, this green food in some shape—in addition to the morning cooked meal and the allow ance daily of grains—is an absolute necessity. Without it, says Poultry World, the eggwedependon for hatch ing will, in large proportion, prove in fertile. For the health and thrift ol adult birds, carried through the Win ter, do not neglect this provision. De prived, as the nSiised fowls are after December, of the grass and herbage they covet, and which all through the Slimmer and Autumn they so readily obtain in their open range, they very quickly feel the lack ol green food, if not provided with it as above suggest ed. Report on Lumpy-Jaw. Dr. D. E. Salmon, Chief of the Bu reau of Animal Industry, gives the re sult of his recent investigation at Chicago concerning the disease of cat tle known as "lumpy-jaw.” The re port shows splendid results from the use of Pottassium iodide. Over 180 affected cattle, many quite seriously, having large tumors about the head and jaw, were treated and afterwards 100 of them slaughtered. A caieful examination of the carcasses and in ternal organs was made. Of the 100 animals killed 65 had been cured. Dr. Salmon regards this test as indicative of the value of the iodide treatment* He answers the ob jection raised as to the futility of ad vising farmers to undertake the cure of their cattle with medicine costing $3 a pound, by stating that in the experiments recently completed, not even the worst cases received doses of medicine costing over 7 cents daily, and in no case was more than one pound of medicine administered in the treatment of any one animal. The report shows that the disease is jiot contagious. TWenty-one head of healthy cattle were kept in the closest contact with the diseased ani mals experimented upon, even to the extent of eating from the troughs soiled with the matter discharged from the tumors, without •showing any signs of being affected by it. The Egg-Keeping Experiment. The eggs were all wiped when fresh with a rag saturated with some anti septic and packed tightly in salt, bran, etc. Eggs packed during April and May in salt, and which bad been wiped with cotton-seed oil, (o which had been added boracic acid, kept from four to five months with a loss of nearly one third, the quality of those saved not being good. Eggs packed in salt during March and April after wiping with vaseline to which salicilic acid had been added, kept four and five months without loss; the quality after four months be ingmuch superior to limed eggs. These packed eggs were all kept in barn cel lars, the ordinary temperature o% each box varying little from 66 de grees F., and each box was turned over once every two days. Little dif ference was observed in the keeping of the fertile or the infertileeggs, and no difference was noticeable in the keep ing qualities of eggs from different fowls or from those on different ra tions.—New York Experiment Station Report. ■ , Cattle that are housed in tbs barn yard and fed on a straw-stack will not . be a source of much profit for the . next few months. And the man who i winters hia stock in this way is not a i stockman—but a scrub. ^ t We have heard farmers say that ' they could not afford to keep good stock or follow improved methods. This is a fallacy. There is no farmer who can afford not to do these I things. ■> ,i 5;X- :,V - ;■' ' ■-.-v Nebraska CAN DO MANUFACTURING AS CHEAPLY AS ANY STATE IN THE UNION. fa the Mona latUaaaaat af Mkaatarf tha Problem la Forever • m - - 1 Vi 1 "I While walking down Broadway in New York city about noon one day I saw a crowd of people that almost blocked the sidewalks on both sides of the street They were watching a very large safe which was being hoisted by pulleys and ropes in front of a high building, evidently intended to be taken into the fifth story through one of the windows. It was at the fourth story and I stopped with the crowd and watched its hardly per-| cep! ible movement Suddenly, without warning, the ropes broke with pistol like report and the safe shot down through the air faster than my eyes could follow it There was a great noise, the ground under my feet shook, the crowd surged backward, some falling under foot Men and women screamed, and fright ened horses plunged through the crowd. Every one was either awed or panic stricken by the presence of great danger. ±ae saie naa crasnea tnrougn tne pavement into a sub-sidewalk base ment out of sight. The force of the fall had broken the great flag stones of the pavement for many feet on both sides. The plate glass windows were shattered and even the show cases on the inside of the basement store were ruined. The fall had beep about forty feet. It was a striking exhibition of the power of the falling of a great weight. At Gothenburg, Neb., they have a direct fall fifty-three and a half feet of a body of water heavier than that enormous safe. It falls on a turbine water wheel of the latest and best make. This wheel supplies power enough to run dozens of the largest factories in the State of Nebraska, and furnishes it at less expense than the coal Costs to run one factory in Omaha. The Commercial Club c,t Gothenburg will promptly give information either about the town, the surrounding coun try, or the water power. By electricity the power to drive the largest mill in the State can be trans mitted or taken from this wheel on a wire not larger than a clothes line, one, two, three, six or a dozen miles away A few years ago this was not possi ble Power had then to be taken from a shaft. Later a wire cable was suc cessfully used for short distances, but now by electricity power can be trans mitted under ■ ground, under water, elevated in the air, in any direction, not only yards but miles. We are passing from the time of steam to the time of electricity. Plans and estimates are now being made to use electricity instead of horses to draw the boats on the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. Every reliable water power in the country has been suddenly given a value almost inestimable. Either wood or coal is indispensable in making steam. Nebraska has no coal mines, no forests Cost of freight makes wood not possible as a fuel and coal very expensive. The place that has a water power needs neither one. The water power places will in the future do the manufacturing, will' be the best markets and rapidly make the largest cities. The rush to Goth enburg, which has had its power plant completed but little more than a month, shows how keenly alive the Western people are to business advan tages and commercial developments. Chas.
