.ICHAPTER II.—(CoSTiNi-gn.)
Ralph bad Invited a couple of young
gentlemen with their sisters up from
r-‘ the dty, and Miss tret on came over to
the Rock with a gay party of her own j
friends. Boating, picnicking, hunting.
Ashing and strolling In the woods filled i
up the days, and In the evening they ]
had dancing and music and conversa
tion Miss Ireton professed a great at
tachment for Agnes, but toward Marina
she:was always frosty, though suffi
ciently gracious to avcid attracting at
tention.
Ralph saw plainly whither his mother
was drifting. She had set her heart
upon hl$ making Imogens his wife. She
~ had hftver told him so, In just so many
words, but her every act spoke her de
•ire. Ralph loved his mother, and he
most'devoutly wished to know whether
he loved Miss Ireton. Sometimes when
she sn^beside him, her faced drooped,
her ejFcs downcast, her fragrant breath
warm oij.hteface, ho fancied she was all
the world to him, and then a single
tone of Marina's sweet voice would dis
pel even the memory of Imogone's prea
One sunny afternoon, the party at the
Rock went for a ramble down the
shore. Imogene, swinging her straw
hat on her arm, walked by the side of
Ralph. Growing far down In a cleft
of a rock, she spied a bunch of purple
Bowers. She claped her hands with
childish glee.
“What lovely blossoms; Such a per
fect sbadhof purple! How I wish I had
' them for hay hair! My heliotropes are
ugly by comparison!”' And she tore
the odious things from her massive
braids and crushed thorn in her hand.
Marina, too,* was looking down at the
£* coveted flowers. Ralph stepped toward
them. Lynde Graham and Mi? Ver
‘ stein both apoke together,'
•'Don’t go, Trenhalme 1 It looks dan
gerous!’* ?|
Ralph laughed. „
"Gallant gentlemen, to think of dan
ger where'h lady’s gratification la con
cerned! I count myself fortunate to be
allowed the privilege of risking so little
for so much!”
Miss Jrotoa blushed with triumph.
Marina’s eyes were downcast.
Ralph swung himself over the cliff.
Both tho girls advanced to look over.
He gathered the blossoms, put them In
his hosom, and prepared to return. But
he placed h<s foot on an Insecure stone;
• > It gave Wat, and he waa precipitated'
downward, A. clump of spruce broke,
somewhat, his fall, but those who
looked over the brink hardly dared
hope that there was anything but death
£.■;■/ beneath.! r
| Miss Ireton fell back, pale and trem
bling. Agnes lost Sll consciousness In
;-.'v a swoon, bat Marina leaned over, and
V called tnty the depths, with her clear,
* • soft voice: .
"Mr. Treaholme!”
She always called him so now. It
: was no longer Ralph, as of old. There
was on reply. She rose up, pale as death,
but then wan no tremor In her voice
as slm said:
"Dr. Graham, we must get him dp.
♦here are ropes and a boat a few rods
aboxe.”
. Graham waa off tor them and back
again in a moment The gentlemen
looked jit daeh other Inquiringly. There
was no way to reach Trenholme, save
by descending the face of the cliff.
Marina took an end of the rope and |
.■ made H fagt around her waist.
They read her purpose in her eyes
and strove to dissuade her, hut she

“t?o, X can go boat- of all. Your
strebgth will bo needed to draw us both
up. 'And! have lived among these cliffs
from, childhood.”
They- offered no further resistance,
but'‘towered her carefully down. She
touched the hand of Ralph Trenholmo
—It Wna warm. Her heart gave a great
bound. She knew that he lived. She
disengaged the' rope and put U about
blnvdPd ** rapid succession both were
drawn up to their friends.
Treaholme waa only stunned, and the
mottm): revived him. He rose to his
feet, and’ took the flowers from his
bosom. ''Same dedp purpose glowed in
his eyed , He turned to Karina, who
stood a IMtle apart
"Tbepiure children of the salt spray,
like yonrself. Marina,** he said. “Wear
them and do me honor.” v
She colored slowly, bowed her grace
ful head, and fastened them in her
curia. Imogene’s eyes flashed danger
ously, but her voice was cool sa she
said:
“Dear me, how pretty! Hut purple is
hardly becoming to a blonde, though
nd ouo^oblects to purple attd gold, 1
believe.”
After that, Ralph devoted himself to
'*M*1*!*f u®d not all the blandishments !
of the black-eyed syren could win him
from his allegiance. Once only, she
trijd palpably to bring him back. He
had promised to teach Marina a new
move In chess, that night promised in
fb%JM»rinft of Imogens. As he was
.'■/ti-ki-H.
::
passing the conservatory on his way to
the little room occupied by the girls
in common, he heard his name called:
"Mr. Trcnholme."
He knew the voice at once, and went
to Imogene.
"Isn’t it a perfect night?" she said,
looking out into the clear moonlight.
"It is so sweet, it makes me restless.
I wish you would go and walk with
me on the cliffe. Will you?” She put
her hand on bis arm and looked up at
him with her matchless eyes.
He dropped her hand gently from his
arm.
“Thank you,” he said quietly. “It
would afford me much pleasure, but 1
have engaged to play a game of chess
with Marina. I will send Verstein or
Dr. Graham to you.”
•What a look she flashed upon him!
Her eyes fairly ohot lightning, her face
was like a thunder-cloud. She closed
her small hand slowly; the action was
significant, but the voice in which she
replied was cool and even:
“Oh! of course I would not interfere
with any previous engagement. You
need not trouble either of the other
gentlemen. On second thought, I must j
go to my room pnd finish a letter which j
ought to have gone this morning. Au
revior.”
And she swept away.
CHAPTER III.
HEIR game of
chess over. Tren- j
holmo drew Marin:i !
out upon the west- I
ern piazza, and J
from thence to the
path leading to the
Cliffs. They walked
on silently, as peo
ple do whose hearts
beat as one—walk
ed on, her hand In
ills, unheeding that the sweet night had
Changed, and that the cold wind wan
glooming the sky with black clouds.
They sat down together on a broken
fragment of rock that seemed to loan
out, listening to the murmur of the 3ea.
Trenbolmc put his arm arpund Marina.
“My child,” he said, "you have known
me a long time. Do you trust me?”
She looked up into his face with the
confl lence of a child.
"Yes, Ralph, as I trust no other.”
“I am glad. Because I want you for
my wife, I love you. I have loved you,
I think, ever since the sea cast you up
at my feet, and now I want you wholly
my own."
She did not reply, only looked at him,
in a little tremulous flutter of wonder,
her innocent heart shining through
Jter eyes.
"Marina, I am waiting for you to
Speak." -*
“But, Ralph, I have no name," she
sighed,
"I have given you mine once, now
l offer It to you for all your life!”
"Bat your mother?”
“My mother is proud, but she loves
me. And she will love my wife. Ma
rina, answer me, dear.”
“What shall I say?”
"Tell me if you love me—it you trust
me enough to give yourself into my
keeping?”
His face was bent to hers. She put
her arm timidly around his nock.
"I do love you, Ralph,” she said softly,
"more than all the world! And I have
been so wretched, thinking you cared
tor Miss Ireton!"
"My little Marina! Miss Ireton is
magnificent, but I do not love her. You
are my light. Nothing shall divide us.”
i He took her in his arms, and pressed
his lips to hers.
Just then the storm burst over them.
The thunder crashed, the lightning
gleamed blood-red athwart the heav
ens. Trenbolmc caught Marina up, and
bounded lightly from rock to rock up
the circuitous path to the house. Just
across the end of the piazza lay the
fallen form of the old sycamore tree
that had for years waved over the east
ern gables, rent and riven into splint
ers by a fiery thunderbolt. Marina
grew pale as death and shivered when
sue saw it.
“O Ralph! Ralph!” she cried, cling
ing to him, "It la an omen!”
He kissed her, to aeothe her fears.
“My darling! It ia nothing. The light
ning likes an old tree, and this has kept
guard here tor ages. Do not give It a
thought. To-night I shall speak to my
mother. Sleep well, dear; remember
you belong to me.”
He left her at the door of her cham
ber, which was In the eait Wing, on the
second floor, and whose bay windows
had always been shaded by the great
tree now fallen.
Neither Ralph nor Marina had seen,
crouching under the fallen trunk, the
weird form that looked at them out of
great, revengeful eyes, that clutched
its white hand through the gloom, mut
tering hoarsely:
“My hour will come! and then be
ware!”
Marina crept Into bed, trembling at
the fierce raging of the storm, yet filled
with a strange delight. Her lips yet
thrilled with his kisses; she held her
hands tenderly to her heart, because
his Angers had pressed them.
Ralph went into his mother's little
private boudoir. He found her sitting
there alone, as he had expected. He
went at the subject at once:
"Mother, Marina Is to be my wife.”
• .".tv; ■
wtiV:
A-,' ‘
She stared ar.d grey pale as death.
What she had so long dreaded had
come.
“Well?'’ she said, a little haughtily.
“I ask you to accept her as a daugh
ter, and to love her, if not for her own
cake, at least for mine. And she de
nerves even your love, In Justice to her
merits.”
"Partiality may Influence your opin
ion In regard to Marina's virtues; but
I have nothing to urge against her
character. 1 helped to form It myself.
Ralph, I have feared this for a long
I tlmo, but I hoped for a different result.
II am frank with you. I had set my
| heart on seeing you the husband of
I Imogene Ireton. She is beautiful, sbo
| >3 your equal In wealth and rani:—and
i more, she loves you!”
"Mother!”
“I know you think, my son, that one
woman should never betray another's
secrets. And perhaps she should not.
But I hoped this fact might have an
influence with you." i
"And it has not. I love only Marina j
—none other. And she loves me. j
Mother, will you accept her as I ask ]
you?"
“Ralph, how can I? I am of a proud j
race. I believe in blood. And thl3 gltd j
has not even a name!”
“She will have mine. It is an hortor-!
able one. No fairer lady has ever borne j
It; and the world knows many noble
and beautiful women have borne it
worthily."
“Will nothing move you, Ralph?”
“Mother, words are useless. My mind
is fixed. Forgive mo If I seem unduti
ful, for In loving Marina I have not
ceased to love my mother, but in mar
riage love should bo first always.”
He sank down on one knee before
her, and put his head In her lap, just j
as he used to do, when a child ho came *
to have his little troubles soothed away. |
“Mother, dear, bless me, and promise
to love Marina.”
Ho looked up Into her face, and the
look conquered. His eyes were like
those of his dead father. She bent over
him and kissed his forehead, her face
wet with tears. Ho understood the ges
ture, and went away from her content.
The next day at dinner, the engage
ment was announced.
CHAPTER IV.
HE preparations tor
the wedding ot the
heir of Trenholme
house were on a
magnificent scale.
M r s. Trenholme
having once yield
ed, would do the
generous thing, and
Marina would bo
married with all
the pomp and cere
mony that she
would have given to Agnes in the same
case.
The gentlo bride took very little in
terest in the preparation. She liked
best to sit out on the cliffs with Ralph,
her hand in his, her sweet eyes look
ing out to sea from whence she came
to him. And so the blissful summer
days went by, and brought nigh the !
twentieth of September, the time set ]
apart for the bridal.
Miss Ireton had been profime in her {
congratulations, and it was by Marian's
own roquest that she came over to the
Rock a week before the wedding day,
to assist in various items of the bride’s
trousseau. And she was to be brides
maid and remain until they had set
forth on their wedding tour.
The twentieth arrived, clear and
cloudless and bland. A large party had
assembled at the Rock two or . three
days previously, and was made still
larger by constantly arriving reinforce
ments. The ladles-in-walting had
dressed the bride and left her to her
self. The hour-hand on the great clbck
in the hall pointed to ten. It was the
hour set for the ceremony. The bishop
came forward in his robes. Mr3. Tren
holme’ spoko to the bridesmaids as they
stood in a group before her.

PREPARATION OF MEATS,
Method i by Which the French Entchen
Excel In Their Culllnc.
Butchers’ meat (in France) is pre
pared, divided and arranged in the
shops in such a manner that it never
suggests slaughter. It is a rare thing
for one to see a stain on counter, bench
or floor. The mode of killing the ani
mals probably has something to do
with this freedom from moisture and
dripping. Marla Parloa, in an article
on “The Science of French Cooking,”
in the Ladles’ Home Journal, says the
animals are not bled before being killed,
as might be inferred from the absence
of moisture, but they are killed in such
a manner that veins and arteries arc
emptied quickly and thoroughly. After
this the animal is bouffee, that is, Ailed
with wind. The large arteries are
pressed open and the points of large
bellows are Inserted Into them. While
the bellows are being worked a man
beats all parts of the carcass with a
flat stick. This is to distribute the air
in all parts of the flesh. All this work
Is done very rapidly. The inflating of
the animal In this manner gives a full
er and Armen appearance to the meat,
and. I fancy, empties the veins and ar
teries more effectually than they would
otherwise be. The French use very
little Ice, and meats are kept only a few
days at the most. Tne best of beef in
France does not compare with Ameri
can beef, hut the veal is superior to
anything we have. It is valued mere
highly than aay other product of the
butcher. But no matter what the viand
when it comes to the hand3 of the cook
it is so prepared that she has but ill tie .
to dt to it except to cook it. j

ITHIN THE LAST
three or tour
months Ihave
made several trips
amounting to six
thousand miles, ex
tending through the
states of Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri,
Kansas, Colorado,
Nebraska, ‘ Iowa,
and into and
through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee,
Alabama and Georgia.
In these several trips have been a
close observer from the car window,
and though had been over most of the
routes traveled, it was no less inter
esting'to me this time, for the diversity
of soil and climatic influences are per
ceptibly noticeable ns we pass through
the different sections of country. •
No where do the methods of farm
ing present a better appearance of
thrift and home-like surroundings
ttan in sections where diversified
farming is systematically engaged m
from year to year, by which th6 farmer
grows as many or nearly all the staple
creps required to meet the demands
of his own wants, and by converting
the products thus grewn to a higher
rate of values ready for use, such as
beef, pork, mutton, poultry, eggs, but
ter, etc. The all corn, wheat, cotton
or what not class of farmers are us
ually more dependent upon others and
the uncertainties of market Iniluences
that cause an unhappy .ondition In
their accounts.
The crops In localities appeared to be
exceptionally good, but In many, short
to a very poor crop, and believe the corn
crop has been very much overestimat
ed by the reports. Corn is selling too
low to be of any practical value to the
producer In districts where 10 cents
per bushel is as much as it now com
mands.
Of a middle states farmer It has been
said, "plenty of corn, plenty of every
thing," which I would take to mean he
has plenty of cheap food to allow lib
eral feeding for the various kinds of
stock, converting it Into many useful
articles necessary for "getting on
well.”
In some sections of the West corn does
not mean so much for the situation or
the producer has not the advantages of
obtaining those results, and is com
pelled to submit to the inevitable by
taking what ever he can get after
freight and commission are paid.—
Miello, In Farmer's Review.
Manure*.
The dead plant Is prepared for feed
ing the growing plant through the ac
tion of microdemes or bacteria or, to
use a name that will becbme general
among farmers, ferments; low orders of
plant life similar to what raises bread
or rlpene cream. There is much to learn
regarding the processes, but it has been
fairly well settled that each successive
step Is taken by a different living or
ganism. The practical value of this
comes from tHe necessary conditions to
have the dead plant—manure changed
to soluble plant food—and this Is under
the control of the farmer. According
to Warrington ammonia is made first,
nitrites next, then nitrates. The plant
may feed on all of them, as all are
soluble, but the organisms may change
ammonia and nitrites to nitrates before
the plant feeds upon them, as condi
tions favorable to plant growth favor
nitrification, that Is, heat aud moisture
suitable, together with the Ingredients
necessary to form the nitrates, which
manure supplies. Light is not favor
able to nitrification. So we conclude
that manure spread on the surface In
dry weather must wait until rains
wash it Into the soil. If it Is put on
lightly, In the spring, grass may cover
and shade It so that the organisms can
work. If manure is plowed under in
our soil from four to six inches the
moisture and heat will be suitable for
forming nitrates or soluable plant food.
If manure Is packed solidly In a pit it
will not nitrify If kept wet and cold,
and if put In a great heap in winter,
while the weather is cold It will not
produce nitrates until turned over in
the spring, because the oxygen in the
air Is a necessity in the process. A
heap of manure left in the barnyard
all summer will waste on the outside,
because it gets too much air, while at
some distance from the outside it will
have proper conditions for nitrification,
and when rains come they will dissolve
the nitrates and wash the solution
away. . So manure heaps carried over
should be covered to avoid this, and
kept moist and cool to prevent lire
tanging or loss of ammonia in gaseous
shape. A loose heap of manure will
thus waste away, and in the fall a
load of it is of no more value, if as
much, than a load of green manure.
We must then spread the green manure
at once on the surface or plow it un
der, or put it in condition to make ni
trates and then keep the rains off.
It is not practical to put manure in
cold storage, nor to build houses for
it. The best we can do is to put the
fresh manure on the land. Thero is
no loss from sun drying, and when
rains come they will wash it into the
soil, where the ferments can reduce it
to plant food.—Prof. James Wilson.
Talas of Farm Product!.
The annual report of the secre
tary of agriculture, which has just been
issued, states that the farm products
for the year ending June 30 last are
estimated to be worth $2,300,000,
000. The products of these farms
were not only sufficient to feed
all the town and city populations aud
a large number of people in the rural
districts whose attention and energies
were devoted to other occupations than
agricultural pursuits, but there was
enough of a surplus to export to the
value of $553,215,347, 75 per cent going
to European countries. The agricult
ural exports of the country constituted
69.68 per cent of the whole.
The secretary of agriculture estimates
that there are 40,000,000 of the total
population who do not live on farms, so
that one-third of the population only
was engaged in producing the vast
amount indicated by the figures given.
The year covered by the report, com
paratively speaking, was not a good one
for^the farmers. In many sections ot
the west there was a total failure of
crops in co&sequence of long-continued
drouths, so that a much better showing
would have been made had the year
been an average one.
Forestry tn Indliu
Government forestry seems to be a
success in India. The inspector-gen
eral of forests for India is now In this
country and he gives an interesting
account of the management in that
country. He says it has taken eighteen
years of legislation to get the kind of
laws needed, hut they have succeeded.
Now the permanency of the big
forests is assured and the government
will get a handsome income from them.
The government is gradually obtaining
possession of all the forest lands and
now has 80,000 square miles of wooded
country under supervision. The gov
ernment at intervals gives notice that
it intends to take a certain piece of
forest land so many miles in size, and
claimants have six months in which to
appear and prove their claims. An in
dividual or town, probably, has a de
scriptive right to take building timber
from the forest in question. That
right is proved and settled perma
nently, and thereafter only such trees
as are marked by the inspector can
be cut. In Burmah alone there are
over 1,000 different kinds of forest
trees and the study there is to propa
gate the valuable species and weed out
those that are not.—Rural Life.
Tillage and Fertility—The fact that
the rocky particles of the soil are the
source of phosphoric acid and nitrogen,
and that they are derived by dissolving
of the rock, makes tillage a source of
fertility, since it tends to the more
rapid disintegration of these rocky par
ticles. If these particles were as easily
dissolved as the grains of sugar or
salt, our soil resource would sooner be
destroyed by excess of moisture or by
too frequent cultivation. One of the
great sources of depletion of soil is the
too frequent cropping, which means
double or triple depletion. First, the
crop, be it hay, grain, wool, meat or
milk, taken from the farm, removes
fertility. Second, the tillage unlocks
the phosphoric acid and potash from
the rock, and makes a larger portion
available for the plants. Third, the
land left bare much of the year declines
in the per cent of nitrates. This last is
a more important source of loss than is
commonly understood.
Fill Up the Holes.—Has any reader
ever tried Dr. Braden’s plan for im
proving muddy roads by covering the
low places with straw, coarse hay;
weeds or other such trash? We thought
the idea worth trying in places where
marsh grass abounds, on the borders of
sloughs. A large amount of such fill
ing could be applied very easily and
cheaply there, and if it is found to
do the work satisfactorily, as we think
it will, it would be another case in
which naturo provides an easy remedy
for the ailments she permits to befall
us. The plant whose root cures snake
bite is said to grow always in places
where venomous serpents abound.
Where bad roads are apt to be in their
worst condition, in the low ground, the
reeds and the tough, coarse grasses do
most abound. Let us give this cheap
road material a trial before we laugh
at it as foolish to think seriously about.
—Indiana Farmer.
Profit in Apples.—Apples pay if the
producer can get 20 cents a bushel for
them on the tree. The only hope of
making the raising of fruit pay is to
ship it to Europe, where good apples
are scarce. For this purpose the ut
most care must be observed in packing.
The rest of the crop that cannot be con
sumed at home and made into cider,
cider jelly and vinegar can be fed prof
itably to live stock. Apple-fed pork is
a delicacy. The people of the United
States, too, ought to eat more apples
than they do. Nothing is more con
ducive to health and long life. This
year they will havo a chance to indulge
their appetities with the choicest fruit,
which is abundant.—Ex.
Cultivated or Uncultivated Trees.—
The Nebraska agricultural sta
tion has issued a bulletin from
which the following practicable con
clusions are drawn. Trees in cultivat
ed ground have darker and more vig
orous foliage than those in sod ground,
with less yellowing, dropping of leaves
or wilting in hot, windy ctays. Apples
averaged fourteen per cent greater
weight on cultivated than on pasture
land, and 17 per cent greater than on
mowed land. As to moisture, for every
100 barrels of water in twenty Inches
depth of soil or sod land, there were 140
in cultivated land. Evaporation, as
anyone might suppose, was found pro
portionate to the velocity of wind.
Apples in Missouri. — Missouri
is claiming to be a formidable rival to
the best known apple growing states.
Apples are a surer growth in Missouri
than in either New York or Michigan
because of the milder climate, it is
asserted. In the Ozark country the crop
has failed only three times in the past
tfwenty-flve years. This year Missouri
alone will furnish from $12,000,000 to
$15,000,000 worth. Orchards of hun
dreds of acres are no great novelty in
the prolific Ozark country. Ex-Secrotary
of Agriculture Norman J. Colman has
6,000 pear trees and 2,000 apple trees,
the latter bending under the heaviest
yield they have ever borne.—Ex.
