f CHAPTER VI.—rCosTiNUKD.l
The governor's hoyden daughter had
i\. a warm heart under all her careless
guise, and she soon had Agnes fed,
dressed in sf suit of her own clothes,
and snnglyltueked up In bed in her
f- own chamber.
The weary girl fell asleep, and when
V She woke she found it was past sunset
p and Helen Fulton was sitting by her
pillow.
"Papa has come,” she said; “so get
up and brush your hair, and let me
put this cluster of rosebuds In your
j curls—papa is not so old that he has
, lost all taste for beauty.” «
: Agnes submitted quietly, and was led
down to the library by her young host
j§K*$s. ■ :sp
The governor was a tall, wcli-pre
f‘served man of 45, with a pleasing ad
dress, ^keen gray eye, and a face
ratheehandsome than otherwise. Helen
. led Agnes up before him.
“Papk^his is Miss Agnes Trenholme
of Portlea. She has come here with a
apeclal errand to you." t
■ The governor greeted her court
eously.
“X am pleased to see Miss Trenholme.
? I know Mr. Ralph very well. To what
J am I Indebted for this agreeable sur
prise?’’^
Agnes wjrpllowed down the sobs that
Were rising in her throat by a brave:
Cr, effort She had wondered what she
~ ihonld say to this man when at last she
; •hould get an audience, and now that
the time had come she had forgotten
•verything, she had Intended to urge.
Her courage, so brave and strong) had
•u balded to positive weakness. She
■lipped down to her knees on the rug
bJftfe hirii*and burst into tears.

t*h«*gowet>nor’s brow grew dark,
iff “Miss Trenholme, he la a murderer!”
“I tell you he la not! Never call him

"Papa, it will not hurt you to let this

"Madcap! Helen, how can you trifle
•oV asked the governor, trying to
frowns "This Is too solemn a thing to
Joke upon. I believe that death should

The thee ot Agnes grew stern as his

“Aid so do I, with my whole soul! It

“Papa, If you don’t let her have the

kiss you nor pull your whiskers again
as long as I live! I swear It by the
book!"
Insensibly h!s stern face softened.
Agnes was watching him closely. She
saw the change, and her heart leaped
Into her throat. She caught his hand
and pressed It to her lips.
u “You will make me happy!" she cried.
"Oh, sir, God in heaven bless you; and
some time you will thank Him that he
taught you mercy in the cause of Jus
tice!"
The governor rose, put Helen away
from him, and drew toward his writ
ing materials. He wrote rapidly a few
moments, signed his name at the bot
tom of the sheet in bold characters, and
afflked the great seal of the state.
He then folded the document and
gave it into the waiting bands of Ag
nes.
"There," he said, "if I have done
wrong, I hope heaven will pardon me,
but no man in his senses could resist
two such women. I have reprieved
Lynde Graham for eighteen months,
aud if in that time nothing turns up in
his favor, ho shall be executed! Take
it and lose no time. Remember if you
do not reach Portlea by 10. o’clock on
Christmas morning, this paper for
which you have dared so much will be
a dead letter!”
She stooped over him and touched her
lips to bis forehead in utter silence.
Only God knows how much at that time
she revered Archibald Fulton.
The groom brought her horse, fed
and refreshed, to the door, and assisted
her to the saddle. Helen went out and
took her hand. There was a suspicious
moisture in the eyes of this wild girl
that the damp fogs of night did not
put there. •
“I love you, Miss Trenholme," she
•aid gently. *T admire so much your
courage, and your faith in the man you i
love. I do hope you will be in time. And
some day I mean to know you better.
Good-bye.”
The groom loosed the rein and
through the gloom rider and horse
vanished from the sight of Helen Ful
ton.
CHAPTER VII. .
DV. PULTON need*
©d not to have urg
ed Agnes to use ex
pedltlon; she re
quired no Incentive
to haste, beyond her
own terrible anxie
ty. The good old
gentleman be
thought himself of
hia want of gallant
ry in permitting
Her to leave alone on so
dangerous a journey, soon af
ter she departed, and he Immediately
dispatched one of the servants on horse
back to escort her. The man was toell
mounted and he overtook her a few
miles on her way and they rode to
gether until the evening of the 24th,
when she dismissed him. She preferred
to go on alone. She halted until after
midnight to rest her horse, and then
set forth. She had seventy-live miles to
ride before ten In the morning.
Between the hours of ten and two!
. The fearful words of the sentence
rang constantly In her ears. What If
she were not in time! O, what if she
were not? The thought was agony. She
urged on, her jaded horse by every
tasans in her power. Ten miles from
Port lea, it seemed as if the animal was
about spent. He trembled, staggered
and was about to fall, but Agnes sprang
•Off and soothed and encouraged him
with voice and hand, and then by-and
by mounted again and went on. O, how
heavy her heart was! Despair had al
most seized her. If Jove gave out. then
all was over. She seemed, even then,
to hear the JeerB of the cruel crowd,
the mocking shouts, the heartless
laughter..

breath came hot and thick, and the
foam stood upon his flanks liltancvlf i

She looked at her watch. Half past
10! If she should be too late! The world ■
whirled round before her. There was a ■
great roar In her ears, like the rush of !
the sea upon the rocky coast. It grew ■
so dark she could not see. She grasped
the neck of her horse for support, her
confused head falling on the pad of the
saddle.
Only for a moment. The anxiety
within brought her to herself. She
looked around her. She was very near
Forties. There were many people mov
ing to and fro. A great crowd filled the
streets. 8he took a road to the Jail yard.
The crowd was terribly dense, but Ag
nes saw nothing save that horrible
frame work of timber, raised high
above the stone walls of the Jail, and
standing on the platform, a very prince
among them all, the tall, erect form of
l*yndo Graham!
She was In time! Her heart swelled
almost to bursting.
“Yet h little more, Jove, and it Is
done!’* she cried; but the* poor beast
Could do no more—he reeled and sank
on his knees, with something that
sounded like the sigh of a human be
ing In despair.
Agnes sprang from the saddle and
dashed through the excited crowd.
They parted before her, and she reach*
ci at last the foot of the scaffold. The
'■y V v-vr y- *;
rope was already adjusted, the carpen
ter stood ready, waiting the sheriff's
word to let the drop fall, and the sig
nal would have been given in another
instant.
The voice of Agnes rang out, over and
above all the confused noises of the
motley gathering:
“A reprieve! A reprieve!”
She held aloft the paper—they saw
the great seal of the state.
"A reprieve from the governor," she
said, and fell senseless, even as she
spoke, into the arms of old Dr. Hudson,
who rushed forward to receive her.
The sheriff read the reprieve aloud,
j and then removing the rope, he led the
prisoner down the steps of the scaffold.
In all his captivity no one had ever
heard Lynde ask a single favor, but
now be said to the official:
"Grant me this. Miss Trenholme has
saved me a little 'longer to life—allow
me to pass near enough to her to touch
i her clothes."
j The sheriff stared, but Indulged the
! wish. Graham went up to where she
| lay, a gread crowd around her, and Dr.
! Hudson and a brother physician ap
j plying restoratives. He stooped down
I and looked into her face. Oh, how very
white and deathly she looked! Graham
lifted the soiled mantle she wore, and
touched the hem reverently with his
lips. Then he turned away, and went
back to his dreary prison house.
Agnes was taken to the residence of
Dr. Hudson, and cared for as well as
could be. But she had endured so much,
both mentally and physically, that life
hung upon a thread, and for days she
lay in a stupor so closely resembling !
death that at times those who watched 1
her could not tell whether or not the
breatn still lingered. * j
Mrs. Trenholme braved the displeas- j
ure of her son ,and came down at once ;
to nurse her, and when, after ten days 1
of stupor, her disease culminated In j
brain fever of the most violent type.!
she wrote thus to her son: j
“Ralph, Agnes is sick unto death. If j
you could sit beside her as I do, and ;
listen to her unconscious ravings, and j
through them learn how terribly she I
had suffered, you would forgive her. •
Oh, Ralph, by the memory of your dead !
father, I implore you to come to us!
“Your Mother.”
But Ralph, still haughty and unre
lenting in his cruel pride, answered:
"Mother, it is useless to plead for her.
She has brought our honored name to
disgrace by the course she has taken.
I cannot forgive her! Ralph."
But that night, when he retired to'
rest, no sleep came to Ralph Trenholme. I
He saw the pale face of Agnes as he had j
last seen It. She laid a little cold hand >
on his arm and with a sweet, sad voice j
asked him to pardon and love her. He'
started up, his brow wet with a chill
perspiration, his heart beating loudly.
But at last he slept, and, sleeping, a
vision came to him. He stood in the
summer house at the foot of the gar
den. The time was June, for there were
roses in bloom at the mouth of the ar
bor. Directly, there floated upon the
roseate air the face of Marina. He saw
the blue eyeo, and felt the thrill of the
golden hair as It swept against his *
cheek. |
“Ralph," she said, “dear Ralph, put
aside vengeance. It belongs unto God
alone, and he will bring it to pass! Also
put aside wrath, and go to your sister.
She is calling you, and I, your guard
ian spirit, bid you obey the summons!"
;to he continued.)

BULLETIN FROM
the Indiana Experi-.
ment station says:
Young fruit trees
are very apt to be
injured during the
winter by mice and
rabbits gnawing
the bark. This is
especially true if
the orchard has
been neglected dur
ing the summer season. A heavy
growth of grass or weeds about the
trees makes excellent nests for mice
during the winter, and where rubbish
heaps have been allowed to accumu
late in the orchard, especially if it is
near a forest, rabbits will almost in
variably congregate. Under these con
ditions the young trees will almost cer
tainly suffer from the ravages of one or
both of these pests. It is Important,
therefore, that this matter be attended
to at once.
There are various remedies recom
mended for these evils; the first and
most Successful of which is clean culti
vation. If this has not been followed
then remove all loose mulch, dead
grass and rubbish of various kinds
from the immediate vicinity of the
base of the trees. This will destroy
the nesting places of mice, and will go
far towards- protecting the trees from
injury. Then, in addition to the
above, make a smooth, compact mound
of earth, a foot high, about the base of
the trees, just before the ground
freezes. These two precautions will
be all that is necessary to insure pro
tection against mice.
Rabbits are not so liable to injure
trees where there are other small
plants, such as young grape vines or
nursery stock in the immediate vicin
ity of the orchard, as they seem to de
light in cutting oil the young tender
branches in preference to gnawing the
bark of .older trees. It Is always safe,
however, to protect the trees, and a
favorite method Is to wrap the trunks
with closely woven wire screen, such as
is used for screen doors. This may be
cut into strips eighteen Inches to two
feet in length and wide enough to
completely encase the body of the tree.
These may be tacked on or the edges
woven together, and if they do not
fit too closely may be left on for sev
eral years. Instead of the wire screen,
ordinary roofing tin is sometimee used.
Sheathing paper is also used with good
effect, placed on the tree in a similar
manner. If one is located near a
slaughter house, a very convenient as
well as effectual method is to wash the
trunks of the trees with blood or ran
cid grease. This, however, is liable to
be washed off by rains, and would need
renewal several times during the win
ter. These and doubtless other rem
edies will prove effectual if properly
applied. By giving this matter imme
diate attention, much damage to the
young orchards may be prevented.
Jas. Troop, Horticulturist;
Education on the Farm.
The farmer’s profession can he ele
vated above Its present standard only
as the children improve upon the meth
ods of their parents. President Chad
bourne of the Massachusetts Agricul
tural college once said that the way for
young men to rise in the world was to
stand upon the shoulders of their fath
ers. We miss half the wear and tear in
life when we acquire the faculty of
profiting by the experience of other
men. It proves nothing, that some fine
ly educated man has*failed in farming,
or that some uneducated men have suc
ceeded. Education will help a man, but
It will never make one. When it can
be proved that a majority Of educated
men upon the farm are failures and a
majority of the uneducated successful,
we shall all begin to question the pro
priety and value of education for the
farmer’s profession. But until that Is
proved we shall believe that the farm
er's business stands upon the same
basis that supports all other kinds of
business, that the general education
which is useful to the doctor, the law
yer, the man upon the board of trade
is just as valuable to the man who tills
the soil, and that professional training
in schools of agriculture will have the
worth upon the farm that the knowl
edge and discipline of the law school
has in practice before the courts.
One thing more. The circumstances
of a farmer’s life are such that he is
brought into closer, because more con
stant contact with his family than men
engaged In other pursuits. His part
nership with the companion of his life
is, in a business sense, certainly a very
close one. Side by side they often per
form the same kinds of labor, and the
silent partner not unfrequently bears
the heaviest burdens. Many of us in
the rush and amid the distracting cares
of our business, forget that woman's
strength is not man’s strength, that a
ceaseless monotony of toil takes laugh
ter from the Ups, roses from the cheeks
and health from the body. No sensible
man would desire that farmers’ wives
should be transformed into useless orna
ments; but it should be the aim of farm
ers who would do honor to their profes
sion to make their mothers and wives
and daughters something more than
mere household drudges, to give them
an opportunity, as far as means will per
mit, to satisfy those fanciee and tastes,
to cultivate those graces and those tal
ents that are the beauty and tho charm
of true womanhood.—H. C. Adams.
Farm Ownership.
It does not require the compilation of
figures to show that there is a change
gradually working Itself through the
ownership of farm lands. It is a fact
open to general obserratlon that the
farms of the country are gradually
dropping into the hands of tenants, and
in our opinion it is that much vjrorse
for the country. No one will dispute
that the farmer has many advantages in
working land owned by himself that
pan never accrue to him while the la»d
is owned by another. One of the lead
ing causes to be assigned feu* this state
of things is the fact of a desire to over
reach one's self in the possession of
lands. To make use of a significant
Western expression, it comes of biting
off more than one can “chaw." We
have long advocated as the best policy
for farmers to pursue in this matter
that of cutting down their possessions
in lands, rather than that of extending
them. When'the farmer makes up his
mind to this order of things it will be
some time before the sheriff closes him
out. In the course of the next ten years
we look for a stronger pressure than
ever before brought to bear upon this
matter of reducing the size of the farm.
A new style of farming is gradually to
come into vogue that will necessitate
it. The extensions of irrigation systems
and the growth and expansion of the
subsoiling idea are destined to lead
in the direction of intensive farming In
the West. We are aware that it used
to be fashionable to spread one’s self
out over a large area in his farming
operations with a view of reducing the
cost of production of crops. This day
has passed. Things hav'e changed and
if the farmer of today expects to con
tinue to own his own land he must give
more attention to each individual acre
and see that it does its share.—Nebras
ka Farmer.
Bite or a Hogj—It is a serious tiling to
be bitten by any animal, for even
though there may be no poisonous
glands, the saliva in the mouth of ani
mals that bite is always more or less
poisonous. The bito of the hog is more
apt to be serious than that of any other
domestic animal. It requires'skill and
activity to handle large numbers of hogs
without endangering those who hold
them. The hog i^m omnivorous eater,
and is not at all particular about get
ting particles of dirt or excrement with
its food. Old hogs, which are most apt
to bite, often destroy mice and snakes,
and though they get no venom in their
mouths, it will poison wherever such
saliva reaches abraided skin. No one
who has a sore on his hand should be
called upon to assist in butchering hogs,
as he may be infected from contact with
the saliva without being bitten. In all
cases of bite or cut a wash of some anti
septic should be applied. Diluted car
bolic acid in the proportion of one to
fifty of water is good, as is also a weak
dilution of corrosive sublimate in pro
portion of one of the poison to one or
two thousand parts of pure water.
These poisons thus diluted do no harm,
and they will prevent poisons from
working in cuts and bruises of any
kind.—American Cultivator.
Price of Smutted Wheat.—It was not
pleasant to the millers to have the
public know that they were making
choice milling wheat of that branded
"rejected” by the inspection depart
ment, because it was even slightly
smutted, and at a cost of not over half
a cent a bushel, though they were buy
ing it at 6 to 12 cents below what would
be its market value if not smutted.
The disclosure of the scheme seems to
have had one good effect, it has already
brought the price of smutted wheat, if
otherwise good, up to within 5 cents a
bushel of the same quality if not
smutted, and there is an evident desire
on the part of millers to buy the form
er, at the narrower margin, which'is
not strange, all things considered.
Much of the smutted wheat is otherwise
of very fine quality; it would seem that
smut, like death, “loves a shining
mark,” and selects the choicest wheat
for its victims. If such wheat can be
bought for even 5 cents below Its true
market value, and can be made pure at
a cost of half a cent a bushel, the com
petition for its possession will natu
rally be sharp, and the margin of price
between smutted and unsmutted will
naturally grow smaller and smaller
—Farm, Stock and Home.
Clover and Alfalfa for Hogs.—In most
of the soils In the Central West red
clover must be relied on chiefly for the
green food of growth. But where the
soil is very deep and porous alfalfa does
finely. On such soil alfalfa will supply
forage for 15 to 20 hogs per acre for tho
season. This is specially fine for pigs
and growing shoats. It has been found
that pigs will gain 100 pounds each dur
ing the season from May to September,
and 100 pounds of pork cannot be pro
duced so cheaply on any other feed. The
pigs will come out of the field in au
tumn in capital condition to fatten with
corn or small grain. The alfalfa in a
hog pasture could be mowed once or
twice during the summer, or whenever
it begins to get hardy and woody. This
will provide plenty of young and tender
herbage, which is more nutritious,
weight for weight, than forage from the
older plants, and if the swine are pro
vided with this food in its most nutri
tious condition, their growth will be
most rapid.—Ex.
Blood Tells.—Recently 308 American
beeves were sold in London at 7 cents
per pound, an average price of $97.58,
the herd bringing tije snug sum of $30,
054.64. The Polled Angus in this ship
ment brought full $i00 each; the Here
foras came next, add next the Short
horns. The average weight was 1,360
•Hinds. These beeves, it le said, reached
their destination without loss and ac
tually in better condition than when
placed on shipboard. This shows that
the cattle were carefully managed up
to the day of sale, and that the breed
ing, and treatment were profitable.
H. B. Gurler thinks the first move
for a dairy farmer who has not tested
hts cows, should be to have them tested,
and become acquainted with them indi
vidually. Weed out all the unprofitable
ones. Then select a bull from some
[ <airy breed.
