now thii.1 I come to think of it, I greatly
wonder, that I should speak of it at all.
Perhcipt- there may be a fate in it.
Years^go, there was a ship wrecked in
u. dJMV.it storm, oil the harbor of Port
lea. No living thing came ashore from
it but ,a little child—a girl of six or
Jfreyen years. I was standing close
tdpwn by the water, and the waves cast
her up at my feet. She was uncon
scious, but by proper treatment soon re
covered her faculties, with the excep
tion of her memory. That never re
turned to her. We questioned her
Vhiniy with regard to her previous life.
'She remembered nothing. Even her
.name had flown from her. My mother
decided to adopt her, and ahe called her
Marfua. because she came to us out of

confession that It was returned. The

began Mr. St. Cyril,
“that my mother

unhounded pride.

‘ wort of W person to attract the fancy of
a romantic young girl, whose only
fjlsajpse of life had been through the

... *• ; J , *1
[ highly-drawn novels she had read. He
was gloomy and stern enough for a
hero. He had suffered much in his
short life, and had struggled hard with
poverty, and by his own indomitable
perseverance had worked his way
through college. His pride was strong
even as Lord Hiltland's, and his cun
ning craft unequaled.' Far back for
some generations his ancestors had be
longed to the gypsy race, and perhaps
to this fact he owed his dark complex
ion, and his great, passionate, black
eyes.
"His gloomy melancholy touched the
sensitive heart of Regina, and she be
gan to be kind to him In various little
ways. She gave him books from the
rare old library, she showed him choice
engravings, she asked his assistance
sometimes in her little flower garden,
and by and by she learned to love him.
I think he, also, In his cold, rude fash
ion, loved her, but he was too selfishly
calculating ever to feel a genuine pas
sion. At one time he so wrought upon
her innocent heart with his pitiful story
of wrong and desolation, and his ardent
profession of love, that she gave him
her promise to be his when she became
of age. No sooner had he obtained this
promise then he began to persecute her.
His calls for money were incessant, and
she, poor girl, was obliged to supply
them, or to be denounced to her father.
It is doubtful if the rascal would have
risked going to Lord Hiltland, but he
held this terror up constantly before Re
.. om;, liuxii luviug mm, grew
to loathe him,
"By some means unknown to me Lord
Hiltland discovered the situation of
things, and his wrath was terrible.
Rudolph was kicked from the house
like a dog, and Regina was sent to the
continent under the care of a paternal
aunt. Whi:e in Paris, my mother first
met Pierre St. Cyril, a young French
man of noble family and fascinating
personal appearance. The beauty of
Regina attracted him powerfully, and
when he became acquainted with her.
his admiration rapidly deepened into
love. There seemed, for once, no Im
pediment to the marriage. They were
of equal birth, both were possessed of
a strict sense of honor, and both were
strikingly handsome.
“St. Cyril’s only rault—if fault it can
be reckoned—was a severely stern sense
of honor, that could not tolerate for a
moment the semblance of deception.
Although ho had been brought up in
the frivolous French capital, his heart
was as pure as that of a little child.
“My mother’s first error lay in the
decision which she took by the advice
of her aunt, not to make St. Cyril ac
quainted with the episode touching
John Rudolph. She, to do her justice,
was anxious to speak of it to him, but
her aunt, who was a fashionable,
worldly woman, treated the idea with
contempt, and won from Regina a prom
ise never to mention the affair to her
lover. The ambitious woman knew
something of St. Cyril’s sensitive tem
perament. and feared that he might ob
ject to taking one whom he knew had
at some time fancied she loved another.
"They were married,, and St. Cyrii
took his wife to his chateau near Au
vergne. They weretyery happy. St.
Cyril was the most devoted of hus
bands; they had abundance of wealth,
and there seemed to be nothing wanting
to complete their content. At the end
of two years I was there. I think it was
about this time that my mother's real
trouble began. Rudolph sought her
out. By some means he had managed
fn n oen plain th.it n_it «...
..v* hou uet'ii
kept In Ignorance of their old love af
fair, and rightly Judging that my
mother would sacrifice much before she
would now have it revealed, he came
to her, and threatened her with expo
sure, if she did not at once deliver over
to him a certain sum of money. My
mother was terribly frightened, and she
gave Rudolph all the ready money she
possessed. For a while he left her in
peace—but not for long. The dissi
pated life ho led demanded large sums
of money, and he was too indolent to
work, when it could be obtained in any
way. His calls upon my mother be
came very frequent. She did her best
to satisfy them. She sold all her Jew
els, and little trinkets which would
turn for money, and gave him the pro
ceeds. But the more she sacrificed for
him, the more grasping and arrogant he
became. He asked her twiqe for money
| when she had nothing to give. He sug
gested her husband’s desk. He knew
St Cyril kept by him large sums of
money, and she could easily abstract
what he wanted without being mis
trusted. This ipy mother perempto
rily refusd to do. She would run all
risks rather than steal from this man
who :oved and trusted her. Rudolph
went away in fierce anger, vowing ven
geance.
"About this time twins were born to
my parents—two girls. They were
named Evangeline and Genevieve, and
upon the arms of eaoh of them there
was a faint scarlet crosB—a birth mark.
When these children were four months
old, the nurse took them out for their
airing one day, in a little carriage, and
while she left them a moment to speak
to a friend, Evangeline was stolen from
the side of her sister. The terrified
nurse knew nothing beyond the fact
that she had left them for a moment by
the sideof a fountain in the public gar
dens, and on returning to take them
away, had found only Genevieve—
Evangeline wav gone!
“My mother was distracted! Th|
shock threw her into a fever, and la her
delirious ravings my father learned the
whole story. Nothing was kept back.
He knew that she had loved Rudolph—
that she had deceived him every day
since their marriage, and that this un
scrupulous man had visited her several
times since their residence at Auvergne.
He was a proud and painfully sensitive
man, and his whole soul was outraged.
He fancied himself the most bitterly
wronged of all the human race. He
grew cruel and relentless toward the
woman he had so loved. When at la3t
she returned to consciousness, she
found herself deserted by her husband.
He had gone to the east, he said in a
brief epistle which he left behind him;
he knew everything. He never wished
to look upon her face again. He had
left ample provision for her, and begged
her to bring up her children in the paths
of virtue and honor.
“This was a terrible blow to my
mother, but her affectiorf for her chil
dren, and the care she was obliged to
bestow on them, kept her up. She
made every effort in her power to as
certain the fate of her lost Evangeline,
but vainly. She never heard from or
saw John Rudolph for ten years. She
wrote to her husband, putting aside all
her pride for her child’s sake—wrote to
entreat him to try and And the lost girl;
but If the letter ever reached him he
gave it no heed. It was never replied to.
Then she applied to her father in Eng
land. But he was a stern old man, and
he fancied his pride injuried^and his
house dishonored by the fact that his
daughter had been deserted by her hus
band, and he refused to take any step
in the matter. So my poor mother was
left desolate. Nothing, I think, but her
strong love for Genie and myself kept
her alive.
‘1 Ton vnaro
i*oa ofa1 on Info
i one evening there came to our house a
tall, dark man, whom I now know-was
John Rudolph. Ho was close'tecl a long
time with my mother, and when , she
came out her face was paler that its
wont, and her eyes were red with weep
ing. Then I did not know wherefore,
but now I know that he had come to tell
i her that Eva still lived; that she was in
' America, and that if she would raise
| him a certain sum he would reveal the
child’s exact whereabouts. This condi
tion she could not comply with, and he
left her in a rage.
“I think the constant worry about
I this missing child wore out my mother’s
life. Her days were shortened by it.
j Two years ago she received a letter
! from my father. He was lying on his
J death-bed, in an obscure Russian vil
lage. He confessed how much he had
| wronged her, expressed a sincere re
pentance, and begged her to come to
him. He longed so Inexpressibly for a
sight of her face. She was not really
able to undertake the journey, but could
not be dissuaded from attempting it. I
went with her. We found my father
just on the borders of the mystic river,
but waiting to see her ere he crossed
over.
“It was a solemn scene. He lay on a
great bed, heavily curtained, in a lofty
room, gloomy with shadows; his face
as white as marble, but for the hectic
flushes' in his cheeks. His great, eager
eyes were fastened upon the door by
which we entered—he was watching for
her to come. He started up at the
sound of her footstep, and extended his
feeble arms.
“ ‘O Regina! O Regina!’ he cried, pitl
fuly, ‘you have come at last!’
"She went forward, and lifted his
head to her bosom, and put her face
against his. She did not weep, but
shook like an aspen, and grew so very
white that I feared it would be too much
for her.
“ ‘Will you forgive me?” he cried. ‘O,
I have wronged you so deeply! If you
had only told me all that at the very
first!’
“ ’I know, Pierre, I sinned then; but
they persuaded me it would be best.
And afterward, I feared to lose your
love. We have both erred; let us mu
tually forgive.’

HIS WIFE WAS BALKY.
When She Wan Hitched to a Flow She
Failed to Full.
A young man with a long, worn out
Prince Albert coat and a pair of pur
ple pants tucked into his boots that
were Incased in mud. walked into cen

Louisville Post, and asked:
“Are thar ’ary reporter here?”
“Yes,” answered Captain Basler,
“there's about four here.”
“Well, I’m the feller what bought a
wife for $7 last week, and she wquldn’t

“All right,” replied the Post report

have your statement.”
“Nowr, you write it down Just as. I
say it.” replied the countryman.’'
His statement was as follows:
“The balky wife, the wife' of Johnnie
Snawder, the daughter of A. J. Childers,
has sued for a divorce. Her father
recommended her as a good ■' Worker
when I bought her, and when I hitched
her to the plow she failed to pull and
balked. Her father came over where
we was at and offered his mule, hut I
objected, as the mule looked thin. I
thought I would try her a little longer,
but she still failed. I offered to take
the old man’s wife, as she was the
best trained.
“The old woman is 52 years old. You
could not expect my wife to work as
good as a woman with seventeen years’
training. The old man would not trade,
so I made him take his girl back. We

FARM AND GARDEN.
MATTERS OF INTEREST TO
AGRICULTURISTS.
Some tTp-to-Date Hints About Cultira
tlon of the Soil and Yields Thereof—
Horticulture. Viticulture and Flori
culture.
LITE grass belongs
to a large family of
grasses known as
the "Poa” family.
Its botanical, scien
tific name is “Poa
pratensis,” which
is the only thing I
have got against
it.
« It makes a thick,
close turf, and if
grazed closely ■will run out all other
grasses with which it may be growing.
It Is propagated in two ways: by its
seed and by its creeping underground
root stalks. It is among the first, if
not the first, grass to start in spring,
and if the fall be moist will grew un
til from the 1st to the 15th of October.
If not too dry, the climate can hardly
be too cold for it to flourish, as it can
perpetuate itself by means of its creep
ing root stalks where the summer is too
frosty to ripen its seeds, and is known
to do well near the Arctic Circle in Brit
ish America. It cannot endure great
and long continued heat and its south
ern limit may be roughly defined as
the latitude of Cairo, 111., though it
grows well in the elevated limestone
lands of middle Tennessee.
Blue grass is rather difficult to get
started and. a good set is hard to get
sown, but under constant grazing it im
proves for years. Many of the best
pastures in Illinois and Kentucky are
on land never as yet insulted by the
plowshare. It is very difficult to get a
stand from imported seed as its ger
minating qualities are quickly ruined
by mold after it is cut. In Illinois the
safest way to sow it, is to cut it stalk
and all, scatter it over the ground to be
seeded. It can be sown at any time not
later than August during the growing
season.
Blue grass in Wisconsin will do well
on either clay or sandy lands, but of
course will thrive best in limestone dis
tricts. To get the greatest benefit,
pasture It rather closely. If it grows up
tall and falls down, it is apt to become
weedy. This grass is without question
in its green state the most nutritious
grass known. Illinois farmers con
sider clover to be “washy” and infin
itely prefer blue grass to it for both
milk and beef.—D. R. McGinnis.
Composting Manure in Winter.
A good deal will be gained if the
winter-made manure is piled in heaps
and subjected to partial fermentation,
so as to make its fertility soluble. It is
a fact that cannot be too frequently
remembered that fresh animal excre
ment is never Immediately beneficial to
the plants to which it is applied. \Ve
see this in the killing of herbage in
pastures where animals have voided
their excrement yliile pasturing. The
following year surrounding this excre
ment will be found a rank growth of
grass, which will generally be left un
eaten, because smelling and tasting
too much of the partly-decomposed ma
nure. But let this same excrement be
composted to a fine powder, and it will
enrich several square feet, and the
grass will be of better quality for it.
The composted manure has all the
ammonia that the fresh excrement had,
and in available form for use. This is
especially true if either gypsum or Ger
man potash salts are put on the heap
to absorb the ammonia. Most stable
manure is deficient in potash. The
German potash salts, known to the
trade as kainit, is the best thing to
apply to the compost heap. It is not
caustic, like wood ashes, and therefore
will not hasten decomposition. Neither
will the kainit delay it. The ammonia
of the fermenting manure and the pot
ech w 111 unlin fnrmino nitvnlh am
monia or saltpetre, which Is one of
the most powerful fertilizers known.
It is very soluble, and all compost heaps
should be kept from exposure to rains,
which will speedily leach out their
most valuable properties.—Am. Culti*
vator.
Preparing Strawberry Beils.
Fine berries and large crops depend
so much upon the treatment the plants
receive the spring of fruiting that no
one can afford to neglect them then.
Where the soil is free from weed seed
the matter is vastly simplified. But
such soil is not always to be had; and
the richer the soil the more apt it is to
be infested with weeds.
Subdue the weeds by running shallow
cultivator down middle as early in
Bpring as practicable. Scrape around
and between plants with small, well
sharpened weeding hoes, which will re
move all weeds and not cut deep
enough- to injure roots.
> Then apply over rows, plants and all,
about 500 pounds an acre of highly sol
uble commercial fertilizer rich in pot
ash. Stable manure and unleached
wood ashes, if to be had in sufficient
quantities, aro excellent. Ten good
loads of manure and 50 bushels of ashes
an acre will do, scattered over and
around the plants; the ashes on top,
as they hasten the action of the ma
nure.
Remember that almost anything can j
bo safely scattered over and on straw- I
berry plants while in a dormant state
—while not growing. Should the appli
[ cation be unavoidably delayed till
growth begins, it should be applied just
before a rain, which will wash it off j
the leaves into the ground; or it can be
' scattered around and between the
plants. Where the soil is not so in
fested with weeds as to need much
scratching, the manure and ashes are
best applied late the previous fall.
. • If weeds appear after the fertilizer
' is applied, they must be dug out, or
( '
removed by hand, so as not to draw the
fertilizer or manure from the plants.
The weeds well overcome, apply
mulching. It it best to scatter It over
and let the plants grow up through it.
The berries then form above the mulch
and keep perfectly clean. Pine" needles
(ten loads an acre) are best. But any
straw or hay chopped small enough
not to blow off will answer. With
plenty manure no mulch is needed.
Take the advice of an old grower
of strawberries: Keep your fields clean,
manure them well and, unless your
varieties are worthless, you will not
fail of your reward.—O. W. Blacknall
in Farmers’ Review.
Forest and Nut Trees*
Another point of difference between
forest and nut trees is this: in the case
of the nut trees, according as you gath
er the fruit you remove from the soil
just such elements as are contained in
the fruit. And it so happens in the
economy of nature that the tree will
store up more of the mineral elements
which are assimilated in the fruit than
it does in any other of its parts. And in
removing the fruit you really deterior
ate your soil. Hence you must put your
nut trees upon strong soil, and if you
want the best nuts you must follow the
line of orcharding.
In the case of a forest, you plant your
forest upon the poorest soil—soil which
you cannot use for agricultural pur
poses—and you depend upon the forest
itself to enrich that soil. Here again
is a very great contrast between the
two classes of trees. You depend upon
the forest to enrich the soil. Why?
Because the mineral elements and the
carbon and oxygen which the forest
tree takes are secured from the atmos
nhfifA nnrl it trflnHfnrma thnao <.lnmpnta
assimilates them, and puts them into an
organic condition. With each recur
ring autumn the forest drops its leaves
and these lie on the ground beneath the
tree. In time they decay and make a
rich manuie—humus, we call it, or
dinarily. So your forest really enrich
es the soil, while your nut tree im
poverishes it. This, then, is the second
contrast between those two classes of
trees.—Chas. A. Keffner.
Negro Farmers.
A great many of the negroes in the
South, who, thirty odd years ago, were
slaves, have prospered since they be
came free men. Probably their greatest
success has been in farming, to which
most of them were accustomed in their
days of slavery. There are 549,642 farms
owned or occupied by negroes, and of
the 1,329,564 who work at farming,
510,619 are independent farmers and
employers of others. It is not likely
that the Southern negroes will ever
become largely engaged in manufac
tures, transportation or commerce,
though there is a better field for them
in the South and less prejudice in a
business W’ay than there is at the North.
The Southern white man objects only
to association with the negro socially,
but in business matters he treats the
colored plan just as he would any other.
—Ex.
Mistletoe.
A writer in Popular Science IJews
says: “The mistletoe grows most com
monly in the apple tree.” This is quite
correct, but the English (?) mistletoe
that comes to this country in such
quantities for Christmas comes from
Normandy and other sections of north
ern France, and grows almost exclu
sively on the black poplar, the princi
pal roadside tree on the military roads
of France. These trees yield a large
revenue to the commune; about two
thirds of the limbs are cut close to
the trunk, once in six years, tied in
small bunches, say four inches in di
ameter, and sold as fagots, and is the
wood mostly used by bakers. From
these limbs the mistletoe is taken about
the 20th of November and shipped in
crates to England, and from thence to
this country as English mistletoe—of
poetic history.
The Bunch Sweet Potato—Few plants
could be more interesting than this.

ceeded in getting a good crop of tubers
from it. At the South it seems a very
valuable thing. “Perhaps no other
vegetable novelty which has been in
troduced in the South in recent years,”
says a bulletin recently published by
the Texas Experiment Station, "has
caused more comment than the vineless
sweet potato. The experimental stage
has been passed, and the value of this
variety, like that of the bunch lima
bean, has been established beyond
question. With nearly a level culture,
we have grown over three hundred
bushels per acre of this variety, and
all the tops could have been easily
cut with a mower. The high value of
the tops for feed has been proven, but
it is best to feed them green, as they
do not cure well. Frequently it is a
good practice to mow oft the heavy tops
and leave the gritty runners on the
ground.”
Examine Stock Salt.—It is not al
ways best to buy a cheap quality of salt,
or having bought what is supposed to
be a good quality and finding it not up
to expectation, to feed it to stock. Sev
eral weeks ago we mentioned an un
accountable case of death of a number
of head of cattle. Upon questioning the
gentleman who lost the cattle, this
week, we learn that by comparing notes
with others who had sustained similar
losses, he ascertained the cause. A sack
of salt which had been fed to the cat
tle consisted of the clearings of the
evaporating vat, and contained so much
gyp and other harmful substances that
the cattle died of scours as though they
were afflicted with an acrid poison.—
Amarilla Champion.
Three Utters a Year.—Three litters
a year keeps the sow pretty busy, but
the American Cultivator thinks it is
better for one that has attained her
growth and is two or three years old.
It checks the tendency to fatter which
spoils the breeding faculty in most
sows after they have stopped growing.

A new era is dawning: in medicinV.
and the strongest evidence of it is the
fact tiiat cancer can be cured without
the use of the Icnife and without dread
of any painful operation.
Mrs. Oliver Chapman vvas relieved ot
a huge cancer of two years growth and
is now rejoicing in good health and ex
cellent spirits. The sear left on her
breast from removal of the cancer is
not larger than a silver dollar. Mr. A.
D. Jones, one of the first settlers of
Omaha, has been entirely cured by the
new treatment. Mrs. liarrefl of South
Omaha, Mr. Martin of Council 1!luffs,
and many others in these towns have
been relieved from cancer, and are en
thusiastic over results.
The mode of treatment is not pain
ful and in nearly every instance pa
tients can attend to their business
while under medical care;
The Omaha Cancer Cure Sanitarium
has been established by W. I* Crabtree
at U4:.’3 Dodge street, with H. C. Wheel
er, M. D.. as attending physician and
fieorge \V. Roberts us manager. A cure
is guaranteed in every ease, and mem
bers of the institution will be glad to
give visitors any information desired as
to terms and testimonials. All consnl
tations are free.
