••What moro do you want?" the
Irrepressible Kolhorgill (who, for
eoroe unknown reason, liud a bitter

to say at one of the clubs. "I don't

The two men shook hands in silence.
After a somewhat long pause Ken

There was a fierce ring of despair
In the poor fellow's voice as he spoko;
and loaning heavily against the wall,
he burled his race in his hands. It
was not of himself ho was thinking
now. Kennard knew instinctively, nor
of his wife—but of their son.
After n few minutes Denham looked
up and pushing his hair impatiently
otf his forehead, ho said abruptly, as
though trying to change the current
of his thoughts: •
• Have they found the knife—or
whatevor the follow was stabbed
with?”
• No. Hud it not boon for that I
should incline to the belief that Ver
: choylo committed suicide, for Lady
Denham tells me that he wns most
erratic arid pcouliar for about a year
before his supposod death, and that
the doctors told her ho might become
insane any day.”, ,
••Yes. 1 know,” was Donbum's
gloomy answer. "Tho poor child
was terrified to dentil of him; and as
I’ve told you ho acknowledged to hav

pulling his mustache thoughtfully.
"I wish to heaven tlioy hud kept h m

insane when you saw him, but of

Howevor. he couldn't stab himself

extraordinary thing to mo. Keith is tho
evidence of your wife's ma d. That
was what turned tho scale in favor of
your guilt. It was uttorly damning.”
•1 swear to you.” burst out Den
ham. excitedly, “that that woman's
story- is tho most lnfernul tissuo of

the time he left my study until I saw
him lying doad in tho fernery, and I
never was in the fernery the whole

tho cuff o' your shirk and on your
handkerchiof. both of which one of
thu housemaids testified at the ad:
journod inquest to linding in a corner
of your drosdug-room?”
“Oh, that” said Denham con
temptuously. “They might have
found huK-a-doen blood-stained

bled awfully several times that night.
It always does, you know, if I've been
in a passion. It came on suddenly
just aftordlnuer, and 1 recollect seeing
that my shirt-cuff had a stain of blood
on it. That was why I changed it. ”
“Well, it Is a most unfortunato co
incidence " said Kennard. with a
frown, -and equally unfortunate that
the things should have been sent to
be washed before Feliso thought fit
to give hoc extraordinary infor

swears to your threatening Verschoyla

On the following day Denham ljad
a brief interview with his wife. It was

dergo any further ugitation.
.Denham felt Inexpressibly, shocked
at the torrlblo alteration in her beau

grown years older. He himself was
looking thin and ill, as though from
months of suffering. For a moment
thoy stood silent; motionless, looking
into each other's eyea Then,
with a sobbing, bitter cry, Olive
threw herself into his arms,
nnd thoy closed round her
almost fiercely. His whole Doing
trobbed with the passionato conscious

turning on her terrified listener a look
almost startling in its passionato
hntrod. “I will not listen. Go! let
me nover see your fuce again.”
And other words* many and bitter, ‘
she heaped upon the head of the
broken-hearted nnd half-incredulous
Felise—words which cost ifer dear,
for they transformed a faithful, ador

That evening', between eight and
nine o'clock. Harcourt Kennard was
in his study. Ho was feeling babied
and irritable, and intensely anxious
for Denham's safety besides; for the
chain of ovidence against the uccused

controvertible than over.
Suddenly the door bell rang loudly,
and a few minutes Inter a slimiy-built,
quiet-looking man. with keen black
eyes and iron-gray hair, was ushered
in. Thie was Simon Scott at that

in Scotland Yard. He hod been em

AN 8. O. G
Graduated First From School, Then From
Girlhood to Matrimony.
Mrs. Electa Jones, a fashionable so
ciety woman, without any young peo
ple, sent down to Maine for a seven
teen-year-old niece to visit her, say A
the Kural Collaborator, promising her
sister that she would most carefully
chaperone the young girl. When the
pretty little Down-Easter arrived she
brought with her a long letter from
her country mother, charging her
aunt not to lot her sit up lute go out
alone or in the company of young
men. or to be brought out in society,
as she was too young.
Tho appended correspondence, al
though it give's only one side tells tho
rest of tho story.
' Mrs. Electa Jones to Mrs. Katherine
Smythe:
* Oka it Cousin Kate: Marcia arrived
safely and her uncle and I mot hor at the
depot. She is a beautiful.girl; as you say,
a mere child, sweet and innocent.. I shall

bringing her out this season.
Cousin Electa Jones.
A week later.
Dear Cousin: Send Marcia's graduating
dress by express, us she wants to weir it
to the opera. We have a box, and there
will only bs ourselves und Lieutenant
Black, who comes from your place and says
he had permission to oall on Marcia. The
dear child is amused with every thing and

Three days later still:
Cousin Kate: Lieutenant Black has
given Marcia an engagement ring. It is a
diamond, but. I told him you would not
think of such a thing: Come up at once
and take Marcia home. Hastily.

Whr Dentists Use Mold Filling.
Feople seem, said a practical dentist

dentists use gold for slopping teeth,
and are inclined to believe that it is
because they wish to run up the bills.
As is well known, silver would resist
the acids found in the mouth cuite as
well and I have been asked at least
twenty times why I did not use silvor.
If thoso who are so anxious to cast
aspersions on the dentists would only

Frnlt for the Family.
Apparently one great reason why
farmers neglect to provide many of
the most desirable articles for home
consumption is that some writers
who attempt to give directions for
cultivation make such a long story
and give such minute descriptions of
their particular methods, as if every
item was absolutely necessary in all
cases, that farmers are led to think
there is too much to it for them to
ever learn or practice, says the Mir
ror and Farmer. Take strawberries,
for instanco. The printed directions
have given those who have neVer
tried it to understand that the busi
ness was as delicate as trimming
hats, and required as much skill as
surgery and as much care as growing
tropical fruits.
XX WIO piQill BtatUlIlUUt Ilitu uuuu
made at first that strawberries could
be grown on any soil that would pro
duce corn or potatoes, and that ex
tra care and preparation would' pay
just as well on one as the other,
there would have been more of the
fruit grown, and cultivators would
have learned for • themselves by de
grees what looked so formidable
when spread before them all at once.
People should stop and think that
good soil, well manured and pre
pared, is what is needed for any
crop, and that little extras may be
added at pleasure, and favorable lo
cations and qualities of soil taken
advantage of as occasion offers.
Every farmer knows how to prepare
a patch of ground for carrots or
parsnips, and seems to think it nec
essary to use a little more care than
he would for corn or potatoes, and
thinks there is no mystery about it;
the same preparation is enough for
strawberries or anything else, and
the extra care in preparing the
soil and expense in fer
tilizing it would pay as well
on the field crops as in the garden,
and the area can and should be re
duced in proportion. Strawberries
were only taken for an example, but
the same conditions exist in regard
to other small fruits and even tree
fruits. Many men who have fine
shade trees and productive apple
orchards have been led to think they
could not raise cherries or plums by
seeing all the ills and drawbacks
which they might meet in the life of
a tree arrayed together in one article,
which was of great value to the cul
tivator who had made a start. By
studying the natural requirements of
trees or of those most nearly like
them, much may be learned, and it
is not always safe to assume that a
chango is an improvement.
Shading the roots is very import
ant for some trees and shrubs, but
this is often forgotten when shrubs
which grow well in forests or hedge
rows or among the ferns in the pas ■
ture are transplanted to the rich soil
of the garden and expected to do
much better. These little things
which are not thought of often cause
a serious failure, which is charged to
luck or left a mystery.
Farmers have learned pretty thor
oughly that the kitchen garden sup
plies the most healthful and enjoya
ble part of the subsistence of. the
family, and by the addition of such
fruits as might be grown with but
little extra effort, . the pleasures of
the season would be largely in
creased and the health of the family
protected. An experienced cultiva
tor says the expense of setting ou t
and caring for a quarter of an-acre
of strawberries is not far from $10 |
a year, not counting the plants, and
these cap he found in abundance after
the bed is once started. A plot of a
sixteenth of an acre would supply a
lftrge family during the season of
ripening, and enough more to put
up for winter or supply a few poor
neighbors. Get a spot ready and set
the plants next spring, and take
care of thorn.
Curing Tobacco.
Tobacco as it ripens, changes col
or, assuming a piebald or spotted ap
pearance, and the leaves feel sticky,
and when bent break off short.
These appearances indicate that it is
ready to cut. The dry house should
be in order, and sticks provided.
The plants are cut close to the
ground and allowed to wilt, so as to
toughen them, when they are taken
to the dry house. All the handling
must be done with the utmost care,
se as not to bruise or break the
leaves. Some growers practice split
ting the stem down to within six
inches of the ground before cutting,
claiming that the tobacco cures
better. When thus split the plants
are hung astride the sticks; when
not split the plants are sometimes
nailed to the sticks and sometimes
hung with strings A tobacco
barn, to hold two and a half
acres, should bo twenty-four feet
Bquare, and with posts high enough
to give five tiers, the lowest six feet
from the ground. Some practice
fire-curing, which is done by build
ing fires in holes dug in the ground
under the tobacco, and allowing the
heat and smoke to pass up through
it; and this is necessary when the
buildings are crowded, especially in
damp weather. Others prefer to
build larger barus, and give the
plants more room, thus avoiding the
expense and risk of fire, as there is
always danger of burning the build
ing. When the tobacco is thoroughly
cured, so that tho stem of the leaf
shows no sap, it is ready to strip.
This must be done in damp weather.
The leaves are stripped from the
■ stem and assorted into their grades.
Ten fo fifteen leaves are put in a
bunch and tied together at the butts,
and this makes what is called a
“hand of tobacco.”—Farmers Voice.
_
A Task With Laying Hans.
A large majority of those who
keep poultry are of the opinion that
in order to have the hens under the
best condition for laying, a male
must be in the yard with them. If
eggs are desired with the object of
hatching chicks it is necessary to
have a male with the hens, but as
hens will lay as many eggs when no
males are present as when with
them, the feeding of a lot of useless
males may be discarded. Recent ex
periments by Mr. W. P. Wheeler, at
the New York experiment station,
Geneva, in which he selected four
yards of pullets, in order to test the
value of the males, demonstrated
that males are entirely unnecessary.
In fact, the pullets in yards contain
ing no males not only layed more
eggs than did the pullets that were
with males, but also produced eggs
at less cost. A writer says:*
ino demonstration oi this fact by
an actual test will effect a revolution
in the keeping of laying hens. It
means a saving of food, less dis
position to quarrel, better keoping
qualities of the eggs, and a cheapen
ing of the cost of the eggs, as well
as a saving of the space occupied by
males which should be given to hens
or pullets. Those who desire to
hatch chicks can select a dozen of the
best females and confine them in a
yard with a pure-bred male. As one
male can sire a thousand chicks in
one year, it is plain that but few
males are necessary. The usual
practice i s to allow one male with ten
hens, which compels the feeding of a
hundred males if as many as a thou
sand hens are retained.
The greatest advantage derived,
in addition to the increase of eggs
and the saving of food, labor and
space is that eggs from hens not
with males will keep three or fqur
times as long as will eggs from hens
that are with males. If eggs are to
tie preserved it is detrimental to
keep males in the flocks. When it
is considered that a large number of
males become expensive, and that
the hens will produce more eggs
when the males are not present, and
also that the problem of preserving
eggs is solved by keeping no males,
the farmer should hereafter make it
a rule to do away with males entirely,
unless chicks are to be hatched.
With the non-sitting breeds, where
eggs only are desired, and not chicks
the male is a useless member of the
flock.—Journal of Agriculture.
Stock Notes.
It is throwing away food to feed
animals more than they can digest.
Good breeding must be acompanied
with good care, or it will be a fail
ure.
One redeeming feature of the
hedge fence is that stock are never
seriously injured by it
Feed the low-priced crops and sell
them at better prices in the form of
beef, pork, poultry, etc.
It costs more in the beginning ato
start with thoroughbred stock but
it generally pays in the end.
It will not pay to have a hired
band with an uncontrollable temper
to manage the horses., even if he
does work for a small price. He will
make fools of every horse on the
place.
If you have no other reason for
keeping an animal through the
winter than the hope of getting e
higher price for it in the spring, it
may be better for you to sell it as
soon as you can.
Stock raisers should keep well
posted on the markets. While it is
all right for the middleman to have
a reasonable margin for his trouble,
it is not right for him to make more
in a few hours than the man who
raised the stock gets for a year or
two of care and labor.
Household Helps.
The seeds of dates may be removed
and replaced by freshly roasted pea
nuts, shelled and skinned. The date
should then be dusted with pulver
ized sugar.
Felt, is desirable for decorative
purposes. A pretty table cover may
be made of white felt, painted in old
rose, bow-knot and yellow chrysan
themum design. The border may be
of fringe or done in ribbon loops.
In hand-sewing, if the work is stiff
and hard, rubbing soap on one’s
needle and fingers will be found help
ful. A thin edged piece of white
soap is much better than chalk for
making fine lines on cloth to cut by.
Whatever a house does or does not
contain, it should have a plentiful
supply of footstools. There is
nothing so fatiguing as a never lifted
pressure on the feet, and nothing
more refreshing than to get the
weight of the body from them by
resting on something above the level
of the floor.
A good furniture polish, which
gives a'soft. oily finish to furniture
and woodwork, is made of one scant
ounce of linseed oil, one full ounce
of turpentine and three-fourths of
an ounce of cider vinegar. Shake it
until thoroughly mixed. Then rub
[ the furniture with the mixture, al
; l°w it to stand a short time and
polish it well with a soft, dry flannel
, cloth.
j The following is an excellent for
! mula for camphor wash balls: White
! soap, one-half pound; spermaceti,
one-half ounce; boiling water suffi
cient to cover the soap when shred
up finely, and leave until dissolved,
i ihen beat up, adding rather more
| than half an ounce of finely pow
dered camphor, make into round
balls and dry in a dry, cool place for
some weeks.
