J . CHAPTER IX—Contixi ed.
Tho young earl had been lying on
hi* couch something over a fortnight
whon tho ccittage next to tho Nest
i received two visitors. Ono of thorn
J was the landlord of the ‘•(Jroyhound"
i . Inn. who held tho key of tho place
¥ and was charged with its letting;
the scoond was a middle-aged ,'innn.
f. dressed In unassuming gentleinunly
gray tweeds, and having the appoar
p4 ance of a person woll-to-do in a mid
\ die walk of life, of a servant whom
fortune had favorod, or of it trades
, man early retired from business,
i He was of medium height, and stoutly
, built; a bull-nock, gavo him a look
of forbidding strength, and his hands,
rod and blotchy, were evidences of
’ . the fact that he had -hot passed his
youth in mere idleness. There was
a peculiar cunning about an other
; - wise insignificant face—tho kind of
stealth and slyness that would not be
l\ deterred from stooping to the mean;
a face that would not, by its first
sight, secure for its owner a position
* V" df trust in a bank. Yot, it was not
, an unpleasant face, and it grinned
J-*, with a mixture of cockney and out
landish humor. The smull sandy
moustacho drooped after tho fashion,
tji) at a later period, burlesqued by Mr.
;<*/■ ’ JSothcrn, as Brother Sam. and gavo a
peculiar admixture of simplicity to
the otherwise not ovor prepossessing
fiJ features.
The person, thus circumstantially
introduced at this portion of our his
,£ tory, was Mr. Edward Wall, known
t6 some as Ned Wall, and to others,
0 .pupecially those who had made his
‘acquaintance out West during the
jj-l’Hje’s Peak rush, as Pug-nosed Nod.

‘of his career, done faithful service

^ chapter x.
£ There were not more than a dozen
- residences along the lane where Ree
■>... don l.odgo was situated, and the in
' habitants of none of these took any
interest in tho fact that the littlo
v,'. furnished house had been let. The

vb4 dally fresh quartern loaf, and a
?.v7 rather unusually largo supply of
oggs, butter, and milk were all that
?£_ was required. Mr. Sylvanus Thomp
son had one friend staying with him,
, .,. who, tho tradesmen imagined, was

tall, elderly servan t, tho baker'* boy
bud seen him. Tho lad could not in
any way describe his features, as
the man's face was swathed in a
handkerchief, as though he was suf
fering from a toothache, and he was
standing at t^o end of the rather
dark hall. Tho two last mentioned
personages must have arrived during
the night, as no ohe had seen them
enter the house.
The tradesmen soon became con
vinced, not only thnt Mr. Sylvanus
Thompson obtainof'l Ills supplies from
London, hut also that he was laying
in a considerable store, lie was con
tinually journeying to and from
London'in fils dog-cart, and on his
return invariably brought with him
a collection of ’parcels and boxos of
all kinds and shapes. Some of thoso
seeraod even to be of considerable
weight, for, one day, when Mr. Syl
vanus Thompson was resting his
horse in front of tho “Greyhound,” a
lad playfully put his hand under
neath one of them, and found it too
heavy for his boyish strength. It
was written down for moist sugar,
and rotten bad moist sugar it must
have been, the grocer said, to be so
honvy. ,
With all that, Mr. Sylvanus'Thomp
son. his journeylngsf and his idiosyn
craoies, excited but faint interest in
tho neighborhood. The river was
swarming with boating men and their
ladles, and their joyous laughter rang
over the tranquil waters. The Jnn
keopers and lodging-house proprie
tors had their hands full, and Mr.
(Sylvanus Thompson’s nearest neigh
bor, Sir William Cuthbertson, was
ropiSBsentod only by the grim-vlsaged
attendant, who seemed to be at
tending to nobody or nothing but his
patient, who asked no questions and
permitted no chatter, and by Lucy,
who. never for a moment, left her
side of The Nest
Goorge Maclane, with his experi
ences as a minor fresh in |iis mind,
■ hit upon the plan of digging an un
derground mine from Reodon Lodge
to The Nest, and blowing Lord Cleve,
with his dangerous memory, into
atoms.
George Maolane was not a man to
do things by halves, or without care
ful consideration. Every point had
been weighed, talked over, and do
cidod upon with due deliberation. To
tho servants at The Boltons the in
formation had been vouchsafed that
their masters were taking a short
tour in tho country, and Mr. Edward
Wall was left in charge in their ab
sence. Nobody had seen them enter
Reedon Lodge, and nobody would see
them leave. Tho only person upon
whose shoulders the crime would be
laid would be Mr. Edward Wall, and
he was promised live thousand pounds
and twelve hours’ start to get away.
The actual gold and notes were ex
hibited before the young man’s
greedy eyes, and in doing so Mr.
George Maolane made the one mis
take in his otherwise nicely calcu
lated arrangements. He allowed Mr.
Edward Wall to see that a very much
large!* sum in sovereigns and notes
was kept in the strong box at The
Boltons.
The murderous plan was simple
enough. They would lay two three
hour fuses to make sure of success,
in case by any possible accident one
of these should fail. They would re
sume their own garments, and
in the middle of the night walk
as far as Windsor whore they would
take- the qarly morning train for
same station, along the Great West
ern lino, and thence protend to be
engaged on a walking tour. In the
raeantimo. the mine would have ex
ploded and annihilated Lord Cleve.
They had nover teen seen in the
business, and could not bo suspected. ‘
As to Mr. Edward Wall, it was his
own interest to get away and save'
his neck. «
1 ho ground had boon measured by
Ned Wall, and in the dead of the
night George himself climbed the
dividing wall, and made sure of his
position. Ho could not possibly fail
in direction or disposition.
The lower room soon assumed, the
appearance of a caaemated breast
woii in war time—-with its furni
ture piled in ’one corner, the carpet
taken up, tho floors partly removed,
the great, black, gaping hole in the
centre, with the ox cava tod earth
heaped against the wails, and numer
ous parcels and boxes, containing
gunpowder and guncotton, stacked
ready for use. Diggers’ ami minors'
tools were stretched all over tho
place. The only article of furni
ture which-remained in uso was a
mahogany table, scratched, soiled
and damaged, and two equally ill
used chairs, the red damask covers
of which were torn and stained
bovond repair.
juntcuu ui u weoK, twelve inter
minable days passed before they saw
themselves near the end of their
scheme. It was a lovely summer
night, and all the world around was
hushed in balmy sleep, when the two
Maclancs emerged from their fiendish
hole, utterly tired and worn out, but
exultant with a hellish joy at the
nigh approach of the result. The
mine was dug. ; bight underneath
Lord Cleve’s chamber a space of
some lour,-feet cubed had been dug
out, and this was in tho course of the
morrow to be filled with explosives,
i'.arlv in the morning Nod Wall was
t"> receive his five thousand pounds
and to bo allowed to escape; in the
evening the fuses wore to ho laid,
and throe hours after that the earl
of Clevo won Id no longer he able to
remember anything.
The evening was warm and the
I perspiration was standing in great
drops on the two wretches’ faces.
They reire-hed themselves with their
usual beverage, ueat brandy, and on
this occasion bottle after bottle was
emptied before, with a toss of the
head, and a surly ‘'good night. Ned”
David and George Maclan^ groped
their way up stairs and threw them
•elves on their beds* ' Fifteen min
utes afterwards they wcra both snor
lng Soundly.
Now it would.have been an aston
ishing fact If Mr. Ed ward Wall'had
been able to act honestly even to*
wards his companions in crime. Mr.
Kdward Walt was a thief by educa
tion and profession. Thieves have,
like other mortals, a shrewd percep
tion of quantities in arithmetic, and
Mr, Kdward Wall conceived the idea
that it would be more profitable to
steal the larger sum of money at The
Boltons, than to be contented with
the smaller one offered him by the
Maclanes. Perhaps, who kuew, he
might be able to steal both, and that
would certainly be the most satisfac
tory arrangement. In addition to
that Mr. Edward Wall had been turn
ing over In his mind the murderous
scheme, and its dangers to his prec
ious nock. An apparently brilliant
idea struck him. If Lord Cleve were
blown to smithereens, the person im
mediately implicated would he him
self, and pursuit would be hot and
furious after him; but if he were to
hoist Messrs. Maclane with their
own petard and blow thorn to atoms
insteud it might so happen that the
public would say “Servo the
wretches right. They fell into their
own trap.”
Mr. Edward Well had passed his
boyhood under an expert professor
in the art of picking pockets. He.
strengthened his nerves by huge
draughts from the remaining brandy
bottles,and then, taking off his shoes,
he stole upstairs.
The two men Were sleeping sound
ly. Ned knew the disposition of the
room perfectly, and groping his way
about as noiselessly as a cat, he crept
to George Maclane's bedside, and
from underneath his pillow, with a
cleverness aud delicacy only possi
ble to the experienced pickpocket,
ho took the latter's waistcoat with
out so much as ruffling a breath of
tho sleeper. In the pocket of that
garment he found the bunch of keys
among which he knew would be one
that opened the strong box at The
Boltons, and ho replaced the waist
coat as softly and as unperceivedly
as ho had taken it. Hanging over
I the chair by the sleeping man's bed,
was his coat, and Mr. Wall, without
further ado drew from his pocket the
leather wallot which he knew con
tained the notes that were to be his
reward on the morrow. Then, with
out a breath, he stole downstairs
again and assured himself by
tho light of a small shaded lamp that
ho was really in possession of the
object of his search.
All this being done with a neat-,
ness and deliberateness that stamped
him as an oxpert pickpocket of
high proficiency, Mr. Wall cut, with
a big jack knife tho strings of the
parcels containing the gunpowder
and removed the already open tops
of the boxes filled with the same ex
plosive and with guncotton. He
j spread heaps of this in a semi-circle
on the floor. Behind this he piled
the rest of tho hellish material, and
filled the crevices with loose gun
powder. Then lie put the hoavy
boards of the broken floor on the
center lotand overtopped these again
with a fow shovelfuls of the clayey
earth lying in the corner of the room.
He did his work noiselessly, nothing
clanged or fell, and it was all com
pleted with barely a sound. As if to
satisfy a spirit of daintiness, he
washed his hands and face, combed
his hair, and brushed his clothes and
gave a glimpse into a small pocket
mirror * to be sure that no speck
soiled his face. Then he took from
the packet containing them, half a
dozen fuses and cut them at the point
marked, three hours. It was 10 o’clock
and he lighted the devilish things
and so placed them that their ends
were well inserted among the loose,
pile, he calculating that he could
reach The Boltons and be away again
before they would do their appointed
work.

THE FARM AND HOME.
SELECTING) A FARM FOR THE
BREEDING OF HOGS.
- 1&*4
Soil, Climate, Food, and Market* Takes
Under Consideration — Planting of Dif
ferent Varieties Together—Farm Notes
and Home Hints. ^ 1|
The Hog Farm.
In selecting a farm for breeding
purposes there are two things that
should be especially considered:
First, The natural conditions of
the location.
Second, Facilities for marketing.
Under the first division of our sub
ject wa will consider soil, drainage,
climate and food.
The soil should be sand and clay.
Such soil is* often found adjoining
fertile prairies and is usually found
on broken or hill land where there is
natural drainage, thus we. secure at
once a firm, dry run for our hogs.in
any kind of weather. The sand in
the soil causes it to dry off in a few
hours after the hardest rains. It
also cuts olT and scours the foot thus
preventing the hoof from growing
out too long and turning up sleigh
runner fashion, as it will sometimes
in wet light loams. Good drainage
is a very important feature in a bog
farm and no artificial drainage will
do as well as nature’s own. We
have seen hogs kept on farms where
they had to wade in mud and slush
up to their sides for a month at a
time.
It is impossible for hogs to thrive
under such conditions. If the ex
posure does not kill them the neces
sity of eating continually out of mud
contaminated with their own void
ings and every other filth bccasioned
by a herd of hogs will sooner or later
generate disease.
On the other hand where the
drainage is natural by slopes or hills
the voidings are continually washed
away, thus affording clean, healthy
runs for the hogs. While hills and
valleys with plenty of soring water
afford the best hog farms, one should
locate as near the head of a stream,
as practicable, because of the great
danger of stock becoming infected
with hog cholera and other diseases.
This would be an objection to locat
ing on a stream where other farms
were or could be opened farther up.
All animals are affected in a
greater or less degree by climatic in
fluences and the hog which in the
wild state is a native of tropical
countries has in his domestication and
improvement been brought under
such conditions as have fitted him
more particularly for a temperate
climate. Hogs as bred to-day do
not thrive in either extreme of
temperature, hence 'climate should
be considered when selecting a breed
ing farm.
A model breeding farm should be
provided with a large timber lob
The conserving influence of a wood .
pasture where the days will be
cooler and the nights warmer—the
summer sun’s heat cooled and the
winter’s winds softened down—can
scarcely be estimated.
In selecting a breeding farm one
should see that one at least of the
slopes incline towards the east or
southeast. The value of such a
slope for breeding pens is worth con
sidering. Messrs. Shephard and
Alexander and many others have
availed themselves of such slopes for
their breeding pens and can testify
to the benefits of the morning sun
upon early spring litters.
F’ood, as you all know, is no unim
portant factor in hog raising, hence,
the bleeding farm should be located
where an abundance of food can be
procured at reasonable prices. In
ordei to best secure this condition
the farm should ee lorty or fifty
miles from large centers or metrop
olis’.
Second, marketing of stock.
The marketing of stock to good
advantage is especially important.
The farm should be so located as to
have convenient access toio by visit
ors and afford good shipping facili
ties by freight and express. It
would not be advisable to locate five
or ten miles from a postofflee or
railroad station which could be
reached only over roads which are
often so muddy or rough as to make
them almost impassable. One should
be so located .as to receive mail not
less frequently than every other day,
for delays often cause awkward blun
ders in the way of meeting visitors,
replying to inquiries, etc.—Read be
fore the Illinois Kxpert Judge asso
ciation, by F. B. Lemen.
nanung uinerrut nineties.
Among tho many interesting and
valuable articles X have read in the
Journal I have been favorably im
pressed vvith“Farmers Clubs, Reading
Circles, etc..” by Waters, in which
the writer handles his subjeot in a
masterly manner. If all the farmers
and fruit growers in the slate would
read the article referred to and act
on the advice and suggestions it
would soon make them a great
financial gain and bring new hope
and oheer to rural life through the
social feature of such clubs.
Mr. Waters speaks of the import
ance of what he once learned at a
farmer's club concerning planting
different varieties of strawberries
together in order to produce fruit
fulness. But our fruit growers have
a much more important lesson to
learn * in growing apples, pears,
plums, etc. Hundreds of thousands
of dollars will be lost and growers
will be sadly disappointed at the
partial barrenness ot large blocks of
orchard planted with one variety. I
have been talking against the method
for the last ten years, having noticed
first the wonderful orops of Wild
Goose plums in one corner of my
orchard, which had a large cluster
of Wild tSloe) plums growing in
it, and the barren condition
of the balance of the orchard year
after year. I also noticed that my
Bea Davie apples that were planted
in close proximity to other varieties
bore much fuller and better than,
those planted to themselves, all other!
things being equal. In. favorable
seasons with sunshine and baes to
aid fertilization, no difference may
be noticed; but in the run of years
there will be a vast gain oy planting
different varieties in close proximity
in alternate rows or two rows of one
kind and two of another. The old
rule was not to plant too many vari
eties; our practice now, too few.
Mr. Waters has well said, the time
has come when the young farmer
cannot afford to deny himself of the
accurate information which he can
now get so cheaply and so easily. In
conclusion T would urge our farmers
and fruit growers to encourage the
organization of clubs and read
ing circles. Attend and take part in
the discussions; learn all you ean
and then carry the same into prac
tice and you will soon find yourselves
richly rewarded for your time and
trouble.—Journal of Agriculture.
GraM-Caltnre for Dairy Cowl.
The most important and valuable
paper that has been contributed for
many years to agricultural litera
ture in America was presented to
the consideration of a convention of
distinguished American dairymen by
Mr. A. W. Cheever, who related his
successful experience for twenty
years in the culture of grass for
dairy cows. Mr. Cheever objects to
feeding dairy cows on dead corn
stalks, straw or ripened grain and
over-ripe hay, which is little better
than straw, when it is just as easy
and more profitable to supply them
with the best fodder our land can be
made to produce. His first aim, af
ter getting good butter cows and
suitable conveniences, is to secure the
largest possible amount of the best
fodder. Experiments repeated time
and again have convinced him that
the crops of grass on his Massachu
setts farm are almost invariably
worth more for fodder the year
they are sowed than the grain and
straw together would be worth, if
grain instead of grass was made the
leading crop So long as a ton of
good, fine, sweet English hay is
worth more than a ton of any kind
of straw, so long will it be advisable
to raise grass alone instead of mix
ing it with any of the small grains.
Farm Notes. %
Chaff makes a good absorbent in
the stable. It is good for bedding,
too.
The potash salts added to the
manure heap will add to the value of
the manure.
Firewood is more easily cut when
green and maxes quicker and better
fires when seasoned.
The box stall is best for both the
cow and the horse. But the expense
comes in and prevents box stalls.
Those trees whose leaves stick to
the branches in the spring aro to be
looked upon as lacking in stamina.
When a tree has attained its growth
in the woodland of the farm, it is*
waste in several ways to let it stand
any longer.
Some think that the persimmon,
which is hardy, will yet be more
generally cultivated. There are some
excellent varieties of the persimmon.
The peanut could be grown in the
light soil ol the North to considera
ble advantage. They make good
stock food and the vines make good
hay.
If voung stock is fed bran alone,
it is likely that the feeder will soon
condemn it. Bran is just what
young stock needs, but it should be
fed with other foods, corn, oats, eta
Don't keep very old" horses unless
you are so attached to them chat you
do not wish to part with them. But
such attachment is not profitable.
An old horse is not profitable on the
farm.
