CHAPTER 11—Ci>NTixt?ED.
Tito, pale, hazy light of tho young
moon hail swathed tho mountains,
and tho hut was lost in tho blank
shade of tho giant rock that shel
tered it Among the cedars beyond,
tho night seemed so dense us to be
come nearly palpable, whilst just ono
or two furtive gleams shot through
tho pitchy gloom whore tho more
open space permitted tho light to
penetrate.
Ashland and Chuunccy wore still
pulling away at their pipes, talking
of old times at home, of those cheery
times in tho old country when they
both would have thought ono half
the hardships they now endured a
tribulation. Yet thoy both foil hap
pier in being thus freod from the
trammels ol nineteenth century civ
ilization, its shams, and its hypocrl
cics.
•mu leu you wnat wo’ii do, Mr.
Herbert,” Ashland said, at last,
when they had lockod the rough
cabin door, and, with rifles slung
across their shoulders, and bolts gar
nished with knifo and pistol, woro
preparing themselves for tliolr moun
tain journey. ••I’ll have a look along
the trail down hill, first of all. I
shouldn’t bo at all surprised to find
Freckled George and that lanky I)uvo
crawling around theor sotnewhoor.
You abide horo awhilo. and keop
your weather eyo to the top of that
rock at the bock theor. If you see
anything moving- there, man or
beast, blaze away at it, and mind you
hit it, too. Thoor ain't nobody nor
nothin' that’s got any business thcer
this time o’ tho night, nor that’s
' tlieer for any good to oithor of us."
With that he cocked his rifle to
tho full and strode, with body bont
forward and head down, towards the
cedars below. His wary figure could
be seen moving stealthily across
the moonlit open, and then vanishod
in the black night beyond. Tho
cracking of broken branches, as ho
now and then unguardodly stepped
upon them, marked, his progress to
Herbert’s aooustomed oar;beyond that
all was silence—that wavy, breezy,
musical silence of a beautiful sum
mer night in a mountain wilderness
when the things of tho air and the
creatures of earth aro quiet in sleep
and when only the soft wind makes
melody at its play upon tho leaflet.
. Herbert stood thoro. quietly rest
ing his arras upon his rifle, and
eagerly scanning tho uneven top
lino of tbo rook that stood black as
coal against tho hazy, transparent,
dark bins green of the distant moon
bathed mountains. As ho strained
his eyos, he thought that some of
- tho unevenness of that rocky line
. was not stationary. He sank down
upon his knees so as to be totally
hidden in the dense shadow, ami
carefully examined the top of tho
rqek. No, he must have boon mis
taken, ho thought. Ho quickened
his hearing, and listened with hushod
heart-beat for an-; sound that might
roach him from the high level. No,
there was nothing; ho felt suro of
. that. He rose, rather annoyed, if
anything, at having allowed himself
to be thus deceived. Butovon as ho
looked again, ho fancied that tho
phenomenon of the moving rock was
repeated, only to.call himself afoot
for thinking so tho moment after
wards.
He cooked his rifle, nevertheless,
and romained kneeling there for a
minute or two, with his eyes glued
upon tho rock above. It was only
when Ashland’s mutlled footfall fell'
on his oar as tho pioneer returned,
that he rose and went to meet his
friend.
-•‘Thcer ain’t nobody within miles
. of us," said the yeoman, quietly.
“Everything's as quiet as mice. Lot’s
I he words were upon Herbert’s
Ups by which to apprise Ashland of
his suspicion that somebody or some
-. thing was alive at the top of that
rock at the back, but he was inter
rupted by Dick’s cheery, “We can
light our pipes now, Mr. Herbert,
apd do it leisurely.”’ He imitated
his friend’s example by tilling his
big wild cherry-root bowl, and the
moment afterwards the two sot out
mouct&iuward, much after the man
ner of a couplo of poachers who arc
going out for a midnight raid in a
i neighborhood where the koepors are
known to be aged aud unwary.
The road was rough, and. less than
603 yards from the hut, they deserted
the narrow path altogether, and
struct across brokeu ground, where
the giant pines rose Hk*o hundreds
of huge masts from the turf anl moss
covered earth, with their crowns
stretching out like miriads of jagged
yard-arms, from which as many
tempest-torn, ragged bits of sails
were drooping, between the forest
monsters the underbrush — briar,
bramble, wild currant, and wild vino
—intermingled in snarling confusion,
and made progress difficult and now
and then painful.
They were climbing up hill fast
then. The vegetation was becom
ing scarcer and more stunted, the
, rpeks bigger and more smooth-,
fe W'qd,. The moon stood at its bright
ost. llhd where its s'lvery light did
not penetrate tha shadow was black
as inlc.
1 ' i - ;
‘ V, •
Onco or twice they halted anu
listened with suporstitious enrs for
the sound of pursuing- footsteps, but,
although they both had from tlmo
to timo imagined thnt unwarranted
noises hud reached thoir ears, on
consultation they agreod that they
were mistaken. Dick once imagined
that he saw a shapeless figure, he
could not tell whether man or boast,
crawling about tho rocks somo 21)0
yards from them.
The road lay straight up hill now,
along a jagged mountain face whore
they had to climb now and then like
cats.' In live minutes or more they
had reached tho summit, and there
they stood In a smooth and sparsely
wooded table-land, about half a milo
in length, and somo four or five hun
dred yards broad. They walked
across it with rillos trailed, and came
to tho edgo of tho gulch not moro
than flvo-and-twonty or thirty feet
deep, through which a mountain tor
rent was rushing in melodious tur
moil.
Dick stopped and pointod with out
stretched forefinger to the bottom.
•■Theor's wheat' it lies, thick as
peas,” lie said. “Any amount of it.
I’d never dreamt of coming hore, only
1 shot a buck, and that was the place
wheer 1 had to got him from. Now
you know it as well as I do."
After a moment's pause they made
their way down. At tho bottom,
among the young pinos, tho moon
light dripped in silvery flocks and
blotehos onto a moss and fern strewn
rocky ground. Tho fretting waters
had in winter time overrun the whole
bed of tho gulch, and smooth flints,
varying from the size of a man’s fist
to tho smallest of pebbles, gleamed
and glittered in tho pale sheen.’ Dick
took up ono unevenly rounded frag
ment and advanced with it to the
water's edge, where the light fell
clear and bright on his fqco.
“Look at this," ho said, pointing
to a yellowish shining spot on tho
dull croamy stone; “That’s gold. I
might a’ taken bushels from hore if
I hadn’t been afraid o' somebody
prying about my place and
finding it while I was away..
You see, while I was alone,*
I had nobody to take care of the
place, and thoso fellows are mean
enough for anything.”
Ho turned the glittoring auriferous
stone in his hand ovor anil over again.
Both his flguro and Horbert Chaun
cey’s wore standing out, dark and
sharp against tho hazy moonlit fur
ther side of the ravine.
Crack! Crack! Two shots rang
through the air in quick succession,
and Hick Ashland, with an unearthly
cry, jumped full three feet in tho air,
and, dropping rifle and flint from his
outstretched hands, tell face foremost
with his head towards the stream.
Herbert Chaunoey felt a sharp
sting below his shoulder, and the
rifle droppod from his useless right
arm. He looked around in vague
amazoment, and noticed that the
blood trickled over his buckskin
hunting shirt. A suffocating faint
ness came ovor him, and ho sank
down on tho ground. Tho noise of
footsteps attracted his attention, and
as ho looked up, he saw ut tho top,
whore ho and Dick had descended
two 111011, rifle in hand, who wore
peering down, shading thoir eyes
with their hands against tho moon
light, and evidently preparing to de
scend.
CHAPTER 1IL
Tho two mon were George and
Dave Maolano. Herbert saw thorn
oome down tho inclino, pcoring
warily and reloading their rifles as
they wont. He could hear the dull
thuds of tho wooden ramrods, and
tho clicks of tho cocks oif tho weapons
as tho murderers brushed off tho ex
ploded caps His rifle was lying
about three paces from him and he
tried to drag himself towards it, but
tho pain of his shoulder was intense,
and he seemed powerless to move so
far. With an effort of despair he
raised himself on his uninjured arm,
and at tho samo time pulled his
doublo-barrelod pistol from his bolt.
He cocked the weapon and laid it
down on tho ground by his side,
within reach of his hand. In tho
same manner he drew his knife from
its sheath and placed it within easy
distance, keeping his eyes upon the
Muclancs all the while.
“Cowards 1” ho muttered betwoon
his teeth. "Cut throats! I wish I
had tho use of my arm to defend my
self.”
The two Marianos had reached the
bottom, tho tailor, older man, creep
ing along with bonded knees and
stooping shouldors. head foremost,
stealthily, like an Arapahoe savage.
Herbert lay without moving; his
eyes furiously devouring the two
ruffians.
"I reckon I hit him squaro," George
said. "Ho ain't only jest skeared,
that he ain’t. Ho won’t want no
more gold this side o’ Jordan. Let’s
make no punkius about it Dead
men tell no tales, and we’ll jest make
cock-sure of it.”
Dick Ashland was lying some six
or eight paces nearer to them than
Chauneey. Tho two men strode up
to the fallen yeoman, and George,
dropping his riHo, knelt down, and,
with both arms, turned the body on
its back. The impulse of his move
ment made it roll a little further
down the incline on which it lay, with
a nearly grotesque motion, as if at
each turn a new swing had been giv
en to it. It rolled until its feet were
stopped by a little boulder of rock,
and then it lay still with ghastly
eyes turned skyward and with the
hands clenched as if in agony.
Dave had pulled his big butcher’s
knife from its sheath, and in the
greenish white light of the big moon,
i Herbert could see him drawing it,
with a swift downward motion,across
Dick •shlacd’s throat. He could see
the hot blood spurting all over the
murderer's hands, face and breast,
and hardly knowing what he did. the
nervously twitching lingers of his
loft hand gripped the pistol and lying
as he was, he directed his weapon
and lived. A yell of pain answered
the rovorberaiion of the shot, and
George Muclane, who had been
standing an approving witness of his
nephew’s murderous act, with an
avalanche of oaths and curses, drew
out his pocket handkerchief and
hastily pushed it underneath his
hunting shirt
“He’s shot me!” he cried. “Kill
the swine! Kill him!”
The younger man had risen and
crept toward’s Cnauncey, knife In
hand.
A second shot startled the mid
night silence, and Dave , Maciane's
glittoring weapon flew into a dozen
fragments and out of his grasp. One
of the pieces, glancing against the
young ruffian's wrist, made a deep
cut, from which the blood flowed
frooly. With a savage whoop, more
liko u beast’s than a human being’s,
the assassin throw himself upon the
prostrate man, and wrenched the
pistol from his grasp. A blind fury
Boeraod to possess him. He clutched
Chaunoey by the threat, digging his
long iron nails into his llesh, and
rained blow after blow of the heavy
i weapon upon f.'haur. coy’s head. The
young Englishman felt crash upon
I crash against his skull; he felt the
grating of the injured bone as the
blows rained more fiercely. The
blood started to his eyes, and every
thing seemed to Income black to
him. In that awful moment just one
(lush, one thought of home, crossed
his mind, and vanished, as the blows
suddenly ceased, and he heard a
bright female voice shouting “Stop!
stop!” One look, the result of an ef
fort of despair, and he could see Lucy
spoeding down the gulch side beck
oning to those below to desist
Then all became confused. The
blood which streamed over his face
and forehead blinded him; a choking
sensation grippod him by the throat
Ho could barely hear Lucy’s voice
still crying “Stop! stop!” Then all
was dead and dark.
“What the damnation brings you
hero?” yelled George Maclane. “This
jest tops it all, I reckon.”
Dave Maclane was on his feet
again, and still holding the pistol by
the barrel. His glances were as
furious as those of his uncle, and he
gnashed his teeth in a hot rage.
“Yew’ve killed him! Yew’vo
killed him?” the girl cried. “What
has he done to you?”
“I ain’t quite done it yet,” replied
Dave, grasping the knife which his
undo held out to him; “but I mean
to.”
Lucy drew herself up to
her full height, # with her
head set back " like a de
fied empress. She stretched
out a warning hand.
•‘Dad!” she exclaimed. “Dave!
If yew touch him again I’ll tell on
yew.”
The two men stood aghast, as if
struck speechless by that threat
“Yow’l tell on us?” George Ma
elano hissed between his teeth.
“Yew’ll toll on us? Don’t yew take
no notice of her, Dave,” he con
tinued. Give him one, two, between
the ribs—that’s what yew’ve got to
da"
“Dad!” Lucy cried, as solemnly as
before, “as sure as there is a God
above us, if yew touch him again
I’ll tell on yew. ”
A furious yell sounded in reply.
Tho guilty father for a second stood
abashed before his accusing and
threatening child.
“What do you mean?” he shouted
at lust.
“I moan what I’ve said. Dad,”
Lucy answered, quietly, “an’ I mean
it true. If yew lay another finger
on him I’ll tell on yew both. I’ll
raise the plains agin yew.”
George Mnclane gnashed his teeth,
and his eyes flashed in silent fury.
His face, already disfigured by the
deep scar, became demoniac.

The Evolution of the Plano.
No one can tell exactly who made
the first piano lor the reason that it
has gradually ‘•evolved” from an
instrument as much unlike itself as
one could well imagine. In the
twelfth contury it appears to have
been a gigantic dulcimer, which was
merely an oblong box holding a
series of strings arranged in triangu
lar form across its center. In the
thirteenth and fourteenth centuries
the ••clavichord” another musical
monstrosity, had developed from it
and was used well up in the
eighteenth century. About 1711
Christofali of Padua invented a real
piano, but it is gaid to remind one of
a coal box when compared with the
elegant and perfect toned instrument
of to-day. *
Origin or the Fork.
In the middle ages, the fork ap
peared only as a curiosity, and the
use of it was not the same as that to
which it is now put It was employed
for eating fruit or slices of bread
and cheese. We find a few forks fig
uring in the treasury of John IL,
duke of Burgundy; and Gaveston, a
favorite of Edward II. of England,
owned, says an historian of the time,
sixty-nine silver spoons and three
forks for eating pears with. At this
epoch they had but two tines, and it
is from that circumstance that is de
rived their name. _

WINTERING CALVES CHEAPLY
AND PROFITABLY.
A Steady Growth Mint Be Maintained—

Household Helps.
Wintering CiItm.
To make raising cattle for beef
profitable on the farm, it is very nec
essary to maintain a steady growth
from birth to maturity, and the stock
must be of a quality of grade that
when given good treatment they will
make a quick growth and mature
early. A steer that must be fed un
til ho is between three and four
years old before it can,be properly
finished for market, cannot, under
present conditions of farming,
be made a very profitable ani
mal if the value of tbo feed
is to be considered. As with all
other stock it is very important to
keep growing, and it is also very
easy to stunt during the first winter.
A calf once stunted will never fully'
recover from the effects. With both
cattle and hogs if the best profit is
secured the growth must be pushed
from the start, using care of course
to secure the best gain at the lowest
cost. Ho long as there is good pas
turage, calves will thrive with very
little looking after. If they have
plenty of salt, water and grass they
will grow right along. But during
the winter this cannot be secured,
and if they are kept growing it must
be upon food that is supplied to
them, and while it is necessary to
winter economically, it is never a
good plan to stint the feed at the
expense of the growth of the stock.
With calves, as with other stock,
writes N. J. Shepherd in the Journal
of Agriculture, a matter worthy of
consideration in wintering cheaply,
is in providing good shelter. With
comfortable quarters calves can
readily bo kept thrifty with good
roughness and very little grain, and
this will be found to lessen the cost
In fact it' is difficult to secure as
rapid a growth as is really necessary
for profit if the calves are without
shelter. It will save feed if good
mangers or racks are provided in
which to feed the roughness, and
boxes or troughs for the grain.
When it can be .secured at a fair
price, wheat bran is a first class ma
terial to feed calves, in connection
with their roughness. Some corn
may be usually given with profit
The amount of the rations can in
nearly all cases be best determined
by the condition of the calves, and
while there is no advantage in wast
ing feed, it is very important, if the
growth is to be*pushed, to feed lib
erally, giving generally all that they
will eat up clean at each meal." It is
only by this kind of feeding that a
rapid growth is possible. Unless a
good growth is secured the food sup
plied is in a large measure wasted;
an addition to the cost of the animal
without a corresponding profit.
Calves may be wintered at a straw
stack, but will usually weigh less in
the spring than in the fall, and un
der this treatment will require a
year or more of time to grow for mar
ket, and this lessens very materially
the profit. In fact it is questionable
if anything like a fair price is
charged for the feed and pasturage
if a calf managed in this way will
pay its cost.
Shorthorn. as Milkers.
The Chicago exposition has had
one good result in bringing promi
nently before the American dairy
men the good qualities yet remain
ing in the one time pre-eminently
excellent shorthorn cows as dairy
animals. A century ago they stood
easily first in this respect, but by
neglect of this quality and by con
stant cultivation for beef alone, they
i nave degenerated from their high
i position as milk and butter cows.
| But some of the old tendency of the
j blood still remains, as may be dis
j coveredjby the example of a cow of
; this breed which recently appeared
j at the London, Eng., dairy show,
! and which gave fifty-six pounds of
| milk in the twenty-four hours, with
a test of 5.39 per cent of fat in the
morning milk and 6.06 per cent in
. tne evening. The per cent of solids
varied from 14.98 to 16.62.
'l'his is a most remarkable instance
of the reappearance of ancient char
acteristics after many years. This
breed of cows were once noted for
their high percentage of fat m the
milk, and their large yield. The
first Duchess, the progenitor of the
great family of this name, was a
twenty-four-pound-a-week cow. The
milk, twenty-eight quarts a day,
when skimmed, was sold for two
cents a quart. The income of this
cow was the pleasant sum of $10.50
a week. And this was on pasture
alone. This seems to show that it
might well bo worth while to rein
state this unexampled breed in its
old productiveness, and by attention
to this still inchoate and recover
able quality make it the most useful
of all cows.—Colman’s Rural World.
Rlvetinir Humean Straps.
Broken straps may bo mended by
use of rivets, if one is not provided
with the requisites for sewing. To
make the work still more reliable,
cement may be used in connection
with the rivets; however,rivets alone
if of the proper size and well put in,
make leather work very firm. A
gentleman writes: I make and mend
all my harness with copper belt
rivets. The process is so simple, the
work so secure, the time it takes to
do it so trifling, and the cost so
small, that any owner of a horse
ought to provide himself with the
requisites. Two rivets are enough
for almost any joint in bridles, bug
gy harness, lines, etc. The pieces
are lapped about an inch; two holes
i- ■ i' v ‘‘ •
are punched upon a piece of lead,
or a hard piece of wood, with the
hand or hammer punch,- as the
case may be; the rivets are put in
from the under side (with the head
end always toward the horse, so as
not to chafe the skin). The rivets
should bo cut right length before in
serting. The rivet is now headed
down by a few light taps of
the brad hammer, and the new
head smoothed down with a few light
taps of the driving end of the hammer,
and the joint is complete, and will
never give away till the leather rots;
and it is all done before you can make
a waxed end, or before you could
make the holes with the awl, if you
had the end ready. One caution is
necessary; a beginner is.very apt to
head down too hard, by which means
the head end of the rivet is forced
through the leather on the under
side, and the joint unbuttons, as
sometimes called, and is worthless.
A little care will obviate this trouble,
—Farmers Voice.
Marketing: Small Loads.
The waste of time in marketing
small loads of produce is enormous
with some farmers. They often act
as if their time had no r.ppreciable
value, hitching up a single horse
and light wagon to draw to market
what sometimes little more than
pays their expenses while away from
home. It is often common for farm
ers who have business in the city or
village to put up some kind of pro
duce to sell for the purpose of pay
ing expenses. This may be a neces
sity occasionally, but the tendency is
to make the practice of going to
market with light loads a habit. It
is one that few farmers can afford to
acquire. The time spent on the road
is wasted as far as farm improvement
goes. There is no farmer who can
not if he will find profitable employ
ment on his farm at nearly all sea
sons of the year.—American Culti
vator.
Sheep She triiijgd.
Keep no sheep that is too old to
feed well.
VVateh the maggots on the sheep.
If they are found, smear with tur
pentine.
Dipping sheep, if the sheep is
good, makes the skin more healthy
and improves the wool.
Good feeding, good breeding and
good management mean good wool as
well as good mutton.
This is a good time for keeping
your wool in a dry, dark place. The
world will yet need your wool and
will be willing to pay for it.
The sheep has been compared to a
government bond. It carries its
coupon right on its back. You can
clip it and collect your interest an
nually.
Sheep are not only valuable on the
farm on account of their wool and
mutton, but they improve the fertil
ity of the land more, probably,
than any other kind of stock.
The sheep and wool business is at
least down to hard pan. All that
sheep breeders are hoping for is to
make a reasonable profit. They do
not expect to get rich at onco.
Some writers deny that the
Dorset-Horn is dog-proof. But they
all admit that the Dorset-Horn had
as leave light a dog as to fight any
thing else, and that goes a long way
toward self protection.
When dressing mutton do it
quickly. If the entrails are not
quickly removed the meat will have
a ••woolly taste,” though it is not a
woolly taste.at all. The flavor comes
from the absorption from the en
trails.
Household Helps.
The sunflower is probably the
coarsest and rankest of garden weeds,
yet in Russia the oil of its seeds is
used on salads, and its stalks are good
as fuel.
A piece of chamois skin cut to fit
the inside of the shoe will not only
prove very comfortable in cold
weather and to tender feet, but it
will save the stockings from wear.
Thick woollen rugs are the only
ones to bo used in front of a fire, if
any should bo used there at all. Ip
such rugs, if they are very thick,
even a slight flame may be readily
smothered, whilo cotton rugs are
very inflammable.
In continued use of the eyes, in
such work as sewing, type-setting,
book-keeping, reading and studying,
the saving point is looking up from
the work at short intervals and look
ing around the room. This may be
practiced every ten or fifteen min
utes. This relieving the muscular
tension, rests the eyes and makes the
blood supply much better.
A fitteen inch square of red cheeqa
cloth, with narrow, brier-stitched
hem and two strings of worsted braid
sewed across one corner, does not
sound like anything remarkable, but
when one learns it is to wrap up
shoes or slippers for bag -or trunk
the full value of the notion appears.
Shoes are the meanest things to pack
or wrap in paper, but the soft cotton
wraps them close and the strings
keep them in place.
The most effectual way to air beds
and bed clothing is to throw the
clothes over a chair and lift the
mattress partly over the footboard
in a round, hoop-like fastiion, and if
a feather bed is used, pull it off upon
a chair. Then open the windows
and doorc so that a current of air
can pass through the room, and let
it remain so for two or three hours,
or even longer. Beds thus aired are
always healthful and will induce
sound sleep in their occupants.
Each member of the family should
be trained to do this daily, and never
allowed to leave the room until it is
so arranged. Boys as well as girls
can be taught' to do this, and they
will reap the benefit of if through
their lives and be sure to have their
oflldren trained in the same way.
