There Is the ell; I am going down.” She rose, lifted her arm to put her work Into a hanging basket.

HaJph preased forward, and peered through the bushes, but It was so dark he could discern nothing beyond the outlines of a tall, dark figure, heavily I bearded and wrapped In an immense shawl. For a moment he was tempted to rush forth and annihilate them both on the spot, but prudence held him back. He would wait and watch. So he stood, quietly In the shadow, while Imo gens returned to the house, and her companion went down the path lead ing to the shore. Ralph Trenholme ground hla teeth In rage. He was a proud man, and he did not love this woman who was his wife. He had no love to wound, but she hurt his pride. He eould not bear a dishonored name. CHAPTER X. T THE close of a boisterous day In March, a traveling carriage stopped before Trenholme house, and a little figure wrapped in furs alighted. She inquired for Miss Trenholme and Ag nes went down to find Helen Fulton waiting in the parlor. The girls em braced cordially. •‘Something sent me here. Agnes!” said Helen. ‘‘Goodness knows I didn’t want to come! for there was Hal How ard Just ready to pop the question to me, and Sam Jenkins wanting to aw fully and X hadn’t my pink Thibit dross half flounced and papa couldn't very well spare me, but I had to come! Leti tla was cross. Just between you and me ■he’s half in love with Hal Howard her self, and he’s got the sweetest mous tache! And how do you do, dear? and how did you get through that awful Journey? “I am very well, and I whs in time,” returned Agnes. “Come into the sitting room now, and let me present you to the family." "Are there any gentlemen?" “None except my brother.” Helen made a comical wry face, y“Then,I needn’t brush my hair, nor put bn ahy of my sweet things, nor any of my nice litttle smiles, need X? Wom en never notice such trifles, and as for old married men—bah!” Agnes conducted her into the sitting room. Imogene was there with Mrs. Trenholme. She did not look up as they entered. She' seemed absorbed in thought. She sat silent a great deal now. Her white hands were crossed on her lap, her great eyes fixed on the snow-covered landscape without. She waa dressed in heavy black silk, and wore no ornaments. The eldor Mrs. Trenholme kissed the young guest, and bade her welcome. Then Agnes led her up to Imogene and named thorn to each other. » ■: It was a decided case of mutual an tagonism. Both were repelled strongly, though both refused to let it be known by word or gesture. Their hands met, but the touch was like ice and Bnow. The moment He/len and Agnes were alone the former said: "Who Is that woman?" * “My mother, and—” "I mean the one with the eyes.” "She is my brother’s wife.” “Does he love her?” "He married her,” replied Agnes, a little proudly. “Men do not usually marry women for whom they do not care." “O, I don’t know about that!” said Helen, gravely. “X think they do. Meh are nuisances. Did you know it, dear? But then they are nice to help you out of carriages and put on your shawl and pick up your scissors, and spool cotton, when you drop them on purpose. Some times I think I wish there hadn’t been any men, but then when I want to talk nonsense to somebody, and have some body to tell me how pretty I am, I’m right glad there waa a masculine gen der in Murray’s grammar. Where was that queenly Imogene when vour broth er's first love was murdered?” . "She was here. She waa to have been one of the bridesmaids.” “Ah! What a delightful tea rose you have!" she rattled on; and looking at her gay, careless face, an indifferent ob server would not have believed that she ever had a serious thought in her life. Helen had not been long at the Rock before she got a hint of the haunted chamber and she at once made friends with the servant, and obtained the whole story. Instantly she made a re solve. She meant to sleep in that room, j sod fathom the mystery. She was a girl of strong nerve and undaunted cour age, and not by any means inclined to superstition. During the day she made the chamber a visit without the knowl edge of any of the household. It was a large lofty room, with white ceilings and paper hangings of a pale rose color and white. It had been sump tously furnished, but now the dust lay | thick and dark over everything. The great windows were hung with cob webs and the closed blinds gave ad 1 mittance ♦** no ray of sunshine. There | was the' l ed. snowy-curtained, where j she had last slept. By Ralph’s orders it J had remained undisturbed ever since. Helen touched the costly trinkets on the table with something like awe—re membering who had used them last. There was a knot of ribbon that the murdered girl had worn on her bosom; there, too, was the little gold brooch that had fastened her collar. In a closet hung the bridal dress, spotted with blood, side by side with the stiffened and stained veil, to which the dead orange flowers yet clung. Their petals crumbled to dust, beneath tne touch of Helen, and emitted a faint, sickly sweetness. “Helen Fulton, are you afraid?” asked the girl of herself, putting her hand on her heart to see If It beat quicker than its wont. “No," she said. “Helen Is not afraid. Not at all. Won’t It be splendid to tell grandchildren, that their courageous grandmother slept in a genuine haunted chamber? Won’t the little darlings creep Into bed in a hurry and wrap their heads upt under the coverlet?” When night arrived, Helen' excused herself early and went up to her cham ber. She dressed herself In a thick, warm dress, put a heavy shawl over her shoulders and making sure that the lamp was full of oil, she made her noiseless way to the haunted chamber, entered, and, locking the door behind her, put the key in her pocket. SHe meant to be secure from all intrusion. Ghosts, she agreed would not need to open the door to get In, If they were onnoaox ones. Tne lamp burned bright ly and lighted up every nook and cor ner of the apartment. Helen did not mean to go to bed; ahe aat on the sofa and crochetted, laughing a little to her aelf, at the idea of watching a ghost and crochettlng a eontag at thp same time. A dead silence reigned. The wind which had blown through the day sub sided and not even a deathwatch ticked in the wainscot. The old clock chimed 10, then 11—Helen’s bright eyes began to droop. She was growing decidedly sleepy, and before she knew it her head had sunk to the arm of the sofa and she was asleep! The consciousness of some presence beside her own woke her suddenly. She started up and rubbed her eyes. A cold currrent of air swept over her, chilling her from head to foot. The door into the passage stood wide open and her lamp swayed in the blast of air like a willow tossed by autumn gales; and Just be hind the great arm chair where Marina had sat when the fatal blow was struck, stood a tall figure enveloped in gauzy white, and upon her head and over her face was the bridal, blood-stained veil —Helen could have sworn it! The right hand of the spectre, the long, delicate, marble-white hand was extended to ward the chair; the other was tightly pressed against her heart. Helen took a step forward, but before she could lay a hand upon the strange presence it returned, dropped the veil upon the floor and vanished through the open door. Helen gave pursuit, but the long corridor was empty—there did not linger behind oven so much as tho echo of a foot. For this time the girl was baflled. But one thing she remembered. The door of that chamber had been un locked and the phantom had forgotten to lock it after her; she was unable, it appeared, to pass through keyholes, like the spirits Helen felt acquainted with, through the medium of various novels she had read surreptitiously. ITO BB CONTlJiOBP.I THE FALL OF BOGU. H# Cud to ns • Divinity, bat 11a Is Plain "Bag” Now. Contact with the Aryan race hap played the mischief with the Indians, but it brought others low, also, says the New York Press. Long ago there was a divinity called Bogu or Boghu, or Ba galos. By and by Bagaois sunk to a spook. He became a pooka- to scare Irish peasantry with, a horrible being that came at night to suck blood from the living. He turned into a bogy man, or, as it is sometimes pronounced in the west, "boager-man.” That is nearer to what the original soun.d must have been. Note also in this connec tion that fine-tooth combs are used in ordeP to catch “boagers." * Poor Bogu took two or three paths, all downward. Not only did he turn into a common terror but he became a sort of bogus terror. In fact the word‘‘bogus” Itself1 came from his name. He is a scare with nothing back of him, a ghost that turns out to be a white stump. He is a bugaboo, a bugbear, an imaginary diffi culty. He degenerates into a sprite that plays tricks on sleepers, knots their hair, upsets the milkpans and the like. He 1b Puck, the Joker, and no body respects the jester. But worse is yet to folow. In one edition of the blble it reads: “The sun shall not hurt thee by day, nor the bug by night.” It reads now, “The terror by night,” but the word has gone out and now the despair of cleanly housewives, the oc casion of the sale of so much stuff war ranted death to every cimex, bears the name of the deity in whose honor altars smoked.

HE average condi tion of stock in the state is reported as follows, comparison being with stock in good, healthy and thrifty condition; Horses, 92 per cent; sheep, 93 per cent; cattle, 94 per cent; and swine, 97 per cent. The average prices January 1 of some of the principal farm products in the markets where farmers usually market such products, were as follows: The average price of wheat was 59 cents per bushel; of corn, 32 cents; and of oats, 21 cents; and the average "price of hay was $13.12 per ton. The average price of fat cattle was I2.S3 per cwt.; of fat hogs, $3.19 per cwt.; and of di-eSsed pork, $4.25 per cwt. r The average price of each class of horses was as follows: Under one year, $15.70; between one and two years old, $24.37; between two and three, years old, $36.12; three years old and over, $52.65. Milch cows were worth $26.45 per head. Cattle other than milch cows, under one year old, were worth, per head, $7.03; between one and two years old, $12.44; between two and three years, $10.16; and three years old and over, $25.70. The average price of sheep under one year old was $1.52 and one year old and j over> $1-91; and hogs under one year : old were worth $3.92, and one year old I and over, $7.43.

I Compared with January 1,1895, there has been a decline in the prices of all farm products named in this report ex cept wheat, hay, sheep and cattle. Wheat averages 9 cents a bushel, and hay $5.17 a ton more now than one year ago. Sheep under one year old have advanced 20 cents, and those one year old and over, 27 cents per head, and the several classes ot cattle have ad vanced from 9 to 26 cents per head. The loss on corn is 14 cents, and on oats 11 cents per bushel. The decline in fat cattle is 11 cents; fat hogs, 77 cents; and dressed pork, 72 cents per cwt. The several classes of horses have declined In value as follows: Under one year old, $2.49; between one and two years old, $4.05; between two and three years old, $6.46; and three years old and over, $8.12. Milch cows have declined $1.46 per head. Hogs under one year old average 40 cents less, and those ono year old and over, $1.36 less than a year ago. Horses three years old and over were worth $118.10 on January 1, 1890. Since that date there has been a decline of $65.45, or more than 55 per cent. The average price each year since 1890 was as follows: 1891, $111.16; 1892, $101.17; 1893, $91.91; 1894, $75.83; 1895, $60.77, and 1896, $52.65. Washington Gardner, Secretary of State. Selecting Seed Corn. ' A great many farmers who regard themselves as quite careful in the se lection of seed, content themselves with making the selection at husking time or from the crib, being guided by the appearance of the ear. This is not sufficient, however, to secure the best result6. Prof. H. J. Waters, dean of the Missouri Agricultural College, nar rates a direct experiment on this point. The field was gone through and fine ears were selected from the large, thrifty stalks having an abundant leaf growth. Another lot of ears, equal in size, was gathered from stalks smaller and lees thrifty. After the seed had been gathered, the one lot could not bo distinguished from the other so far as the appearance of the ears went. The only difference was in the kind of stalk that produced the ears. A field was planted with these two lots of seed. All through the season that portion which had been grown from the seed taken from the thrifty stalks could be distinguished from the planting made from the seed taken from the less thrifty stalks. At harvest time the difference in favor of the seed from the large thrifty stalks with plenty of leaf growth was seven bushels per acre, and Prof. Waters < thinks that it this process of selection was carried on for a series of years § variety of corn could be considerably improved on the one hand, or almost entirely run out on the other, ft fol lows, therefore, that the selection of seed ears from the crib, being guided by size and general appearance of the ear simply, Is not sufficient, and that it Is quite as important to know the kind of stalk that produced the seed ear as it is to know that the ear itself has the i size, form, etc., which suits the purpose of the farmer.—Farmers' Review. f Cost of Family Kerries. You can have strawberries on the table three times per day until the last of June, raspberries and strawberries together for awhile, then raspberries, dewberries, currants and gooseberries, which overlap well on the delicious blackberry, and then grapes until De cember. Meantime an abundance of canned fruit to last until fresh berries come again next season. These are not kkife,.w,* A . the stale berries bought on the market, but fresh and clean directly from the garden, and worth double as much as the stale ones bought in town. I think I know something of the C03t of growing berries, and while I concede that they cannot be grown as cheaply in a small way as the wholesale grower would produce them, yet I will contract to pay the hired man his wages, buy the plants and do all the work connected with them till they are ready for pick ing at two cents per quart for strawber ries, raspberries, gooseberries and cur rants; blackberries for three cents, and grapes for half a cent per pound, and have them all ready for picking, and the latter work can be done for less trouble than you can go to the grocer for them. Besides, if purchased you must pro duce something else to get the money. Then you must pay for picking at least two cents per quart, boxes and commis sions to dealers at least three cents more. You buy a crate and carry them home, and before you can eat them or can them up, they arc stale and have lost their flavor. You have so many that you are rushed to get rid of them before they spoil, and eat too many at once, often bringing on serious disor ders, and then go without for consider able time; in fact, most farmers go without the’m pretty much altogether. In the eyes of the law it is not a crime to deprive your family of these cheap, uoa-given, delicious luxuries, but it Is an offense against them, and the rush of the boys from the farm to the cities, where they see things in great profu sion, bears evidence that it has more to do with the breaking up of families so early in life than any other one thing. A steady diet of “hog and hom iny,” pork and potatoes makes both boys and girls restless, and they long for a change. Dr. Vaughan, dean of the medical fac ulty of tba university at Ann Arbor, in a lecture before the State Horticultural Society, pointed out that there were I many families seriously affected with a disease closely resembling scurvy, and. the only effectual remedy yet found were the rich fruit acids. All such dis eases had yielded promptly to this treatment. A careful computation of your bill3 for medicine during the year will show it to be considerably more than-the cost of the fruit garden, and i so in many cases you can take your choice at the same price, so unless you really enjoy grunting and sickness you should begin at once to prepare for the spring planting. Select the highest and best piece or ground you can find, and as near the ! house as possible, so the good wife and children can step out and pick the ber ries just before the meal. Have all rows long so the work can be done with the horse, with as little hand work as possible. Draw out at once and spread a coat of well-rotted ma nure, or if you do not have this use fresh manure and let the winter rains wash the juices down into and incor porate it with the soil. The coarse straw should be raked off and not be plowed under, as it seriously injures the ground in case of drouth. Next to the fence set a row of aspara gus. Fifty or a hundred rplants will supply all the family can eat, and it i3 fully equal to green peas. Five feet from this row and three feet apart set 25 Palmer, 60 Older or Conrath and 25 Gregg black raspberries. Seven feet further set 25 Hansell, 25 Marlboro and 50 Cuthbert red raspberries. Another row, same distance, put 25 Western Tri umph and 25 Taylor blackberries, and then a row of grapes, two Early Ohio, three'Moore’s Early, five Delaware and Moyer, ten Worden, ten Concord and a few Agawam for early winter. This is the permanent garden, which should last several years. Now we set for strawberries 50 War field, 25 Bederwood, 50 Haverland, 25 Lovett, 50 Greenville and 50 Enhance. Now with this put such vegetables as you need. I am perfectly well aware that I have provided for several times as much as a family of six can eat, but I wanted the children to have some thing to take to town and sell for their pin money. You will be astonished to see how much money you can pick up from such a garden, to say nothing of Interesting the children in the work and the general good cheer it will In fuse into the home life.—R.

Silage is practically fire proof, and will keep in the silo indef initely. 2. Corn can be made into silage at less expense than it can be preserved in any other form. 3. The silo preserves absolutely all but the roots of the corn. 4. Silage can be made in the sun shine or in rain. Unlike hay, it is in dependent of the weather. 5. When corn is ready for the silo, there ts but little farm work pressing. 6. Corn is worth more to the dairy as silage than in any other form. 7. At least one-third more corn per acre may be ted on silage than on dried j corn, stalkB or fodder. j 8. Corn is fed more conveniently as ! silage than in any other form. I 9. Silage is of most value when fed : in combination with other food richer in protein. It is not a complete food. : 10.
