‘'^BjjB^BYMAWON MARL / INTERNATIONAL PRESS ASSOCIATION ■ CHARTER II_fCosTiircKD.1 She had kept her heart alive upon nothing else for eight years—dreams Of home, and love, and appreciation; of liberty to speak out what she toad never lisped since her mother died, and of being once again, Joyously and with out reserve, herself. There are no harder specters to lay than these same dreams. Memories, however dear and sacred, are more easily forgotten or dismissed, or smothered by the growth of later ones. If she bade them fare well now, dt was for a lifetime. “A ■lifetime!” she repeated, shivering with a sick chill, and crouching lower over the register. "Maybe ten, maybe [twenty—who knows but forty years? It ils a tedious slumber of one’s heart, and ja loveless marriage Is a loathsome sep ulcher for one's better and real self. A lifetime! and I can have but one! But one! If this step should be ruin and ,misery, there can be no redemption [this side of the grave. His grave, per haps—just as probably mine!” | To-night, this very hour, she must [resist the glittering temptation to fore swear her womanhood, or murder, with |her own hand, the dear visions that had Icome to be more to her than reality.The (Winter twilight had fallen early. It was •the season best loved by her dream Ivisltors. She had not lied in declaring [to her inquisitor that she had never [been in love, but she confessed (that she had equivocated as the shadowy figure of her • ideal lover stood beside her in the •friendly gloom. Mrs. Romaine would jhave questioned her sanity had she guessed how the girl had sobbed her 'griefs into quiet upon his bosom, how •talked lowly but audibly to him of her • love and the comfort his presenco I brought. She had never looked into !his facfe, but she should know him in jan instant, should they two ever meet jin the flesh, as they did now dally in [spirit. Somewhere in the dim and blessed future he was waiting for her, and she had borrowed patience from the hope. She was to be his wife—the .mother of children as unlike the prodl ,gies or repression that lined two sides lot her brother's table as cherubs to i puppets. She wolcomed them to her iarjns In theie twilight trances. They lolled upon her knees, slept In her em brace, strained eager arms about her neck, dappled her cheek with their kisses. Unsubstantial possessions these, but cherished as types ot good things to come. Other women had such riches—-women with faces less fair and 'affections less ardent than hers. If thp Great Father was good and merci ful, and the Rewarder of them who put their trust In Him, a true and loving iParent, who rejoiced In the happiness of His creatures—all these must be 'hers at jaat. If she resigned them now 'It was a filial separation. "And I can have but one lifotlme,” she moaned again. Thwarted and fruit less thus far, but still all she had. The one Idea recurred to her with the persistency at a presentiment. The life which Ood had given, the heart He had endowed! "If some one, strongen and wiser thah I, would only take the responsibility of decision from my soul, would diedge mo in on the right and left, I would go forward? As it is, I dare not! I dare not!" She sobbed and wrung her hands in the agonies of irresolution. "You told Constance about the tele gram?" It wae her brother speaking in the library below. The sound aroso plainly through the open register, “I did. But I regret to say that she Is not yet In the frame of mind we could wish her to carry to the Interview with Mr. Withers,” said Mrs. Romalne. She always expressed herself with delib erate precision even in conjugal tete a-tete.. “No?" Constance heard the rustle of the evening paper as Charles laid it down, and the creak of his chair as he confronted his wife. "What is the mat ter?"' "Some overstrained ideas of the beau ty and propriety of reciprocal devotion, I believe. She looks for a hero in a husband, and Mr. Withers has nothing heroic in his appearance or composi tion." i is worth more than half a mil lion, all accumulated by his own' tal ents and Industry,” returned Mr. Ro maino. ‘‘Constance cannot be such an egiegious simpleton as not to perceive ;the manifest advantages of this connec tion to her. I have never complained of the burden of her maintenance, but I have ofteu wpndered her own sense of justice and expediency did not urge her to put forth some effort at self-sup port. There is but one way in which she can do this. She Is hot sufficiently thorough In any branch of literature; or any accomplishment, to become a successful teacher. Ip the event of my death or failure in business she would |be driven to the humiliating resource 'of tajtlng in sewing for a livelihood, or ;to aeWt tin' more degrading position of ;a saleswoman In a store. Her future has been g source of much and anxious tho'jght with me. This marriage .would, r hoped, quiet my apprehpn ■ions lyr settling her handsomely in life. If she refuses Withers I shall be both angry and disappointed. She Is old euough to leave off school-girl sen timentality." The listener put out her foot and shut th* register noiselessly. She had had n surfeit of disagreeable truth for that time. - Vst It -km*- trpt^, every word of it. She bras a ihean-golri'.ed hanger-on to ‘ ji- ' . "9' tl", t M ^ jfe; *.W * -I* . J . . ' '* » her brother. She wae incapable of earning a livelihood by other means than those he had named. Her mode of life from her Infancy had unfitted her for toll and privation, such as must be hers were her plain-spoken benefac tor to die to-morrow. Nor had she the moral nerve to defy public opinion, to debar herself from accustomed associa tions and pleasures by entering the ranks of paid laborers. Hesitation was at an end. The wish that had been al most a prayer in solemn sincerity was answered fearfully soon, and she would offer no appeal. Her destiny was taken out of -her hands. There was no more responsibility, no more strug gling. Hedges to the right and to the left bristled with thorns, sharp and thick as porcupine quills. But one path lay open to her feet—a short and straight course that conducted her to Elnathan Withers' arms. CHAPTER III. ALP past five! I wrote to Harriet to have dinner ready at six. We shall be Just in time,” said Mr. Withers, as he took his seat in the carriage that was to convey him with his bride from the depot to their Constance was Jaded by her fort rfght’s travel, and dispirited almost be yond her power of concealment, but she had learned already that her lord dis liked to have whatever observation he was pleased to make go unanswered. "She is your housekeeper, I suppose?” she replied, languidly. "No that is—she does not occupy the position of a salaried inferior in my establishment. I must surely have spoken to you of my cousin, Harriet Field." Not that I recollect. I am sure that I never heard the name until now.” ‘‘Her mother,” continued Mr. With ers, in a pompous narrative tone, “was my father s sister. Left a widow ten years prior to her decease, she accept ed my invitation to take charge of my house. She brought with her only child, the Harriet of whom I speak, and the .two remained with me until our family group was broken in upon by death. Harriet would then have sought a situation as governess but for my objections. She is a woman of thirty-five, or thereabouts, and I pre vailed over her scruples touching the propriety of her continued residence under my roof, by representing that her mature age, even more than our relationship, placed her beyond the, reach of scandal. For eighteen months she has superintended my domestic af fairs to my entire satisfaction. That I have not alluded directly to her before during our acquaintanceship is only to be accounted for by the circumstance that we have had so many other and more engrossing topics of conversa tion.” He raised her gloved hand to his lips in stiff gallantry, and Constance smiled constrainedly in reply. His endearments, albeit he was less profuse of them than a younger and more ardent bridegroom would have been, wore yet frequient enough to keep his wife In unfailing remembrance of his claims and her duties. He was, ap parently, content with her passive sub mission to these, seemed to see in her forced complaisance evidence of her pleasure in their reception. He was too seriate^ as well as too gentlemanly, to be openly conceited, but his apprecia tion of his own Importance in society and in business circles was too pro found to admit a doubt of the supreme bliss of the woman he had selected to share his elevated position. Without being puppyish, he was pragmatical: without being ill-tempered, he was te nacious in the extreme of his dignity and the respect he considered due to this. Hud her mood been lighter Con stance would have been tempted to smile at the allusion to his cousin’s age, his own exceeding it by three years, as she had accidentally learned through the Indiscretion of a common acquaint ance. He was sensitive upon this point she had likewise been informed. She had yet to discover upon how many others. Most young wives would not have relished the idea of finding this inval uable relative installed as prime man ager In her new abode. It mattered lit tle to her, Constance said, still languid ly, who ruled and who obeyed. She had given up so much within three months past that resignation had be come a habit; sacrifice was no longer an effort. Having nothing to hope for, she could sustain no further loss. How long this nightmare of apathy would continue Was a question that did not present itself in her gray musings. Having once conquered Nature, and hekl Inclination under the heel of Re solve, until life seemed extinct, she an ticipated no resurrection. She did not know that no single battle, however long and bloody, constitutes a cam paign; that length of days and many sorrows are needed to rob youth of elasticity; that the guest who lingers longest in the human heart, clinging to the shattered shelter from which all other joys have flown, is Hope. It is doubtful If she thought with any dis tinctness at this period. She was cer tainly less actively miserable than In that which immediately preceded her. engagement: That was amputation; this, reactionary weariness. How she - . v' * would fare by and by, when the wound had become a scar, she thought of least ef all. It was a handsome carriage In which she rode at the master’s right hand. A pair of fine horses pranced before it, and a liveried coachman sat on the box. She had sometimes envied other women the possession of like state. She ought to derive delight from these outward symbols of her ele vation In the world. It was an impos ing mansion, too, before which the equipage presently paused, and a tall footman opened the front door and ran briskly down to the sidewalk to assist the travelers in alighting. None of her associates, married or single, lived in equal style, she reflected with a stir of exultation, as she stepped out, be tween her husband and his lackey. Mr. Withers’ address dampened the rising glow. “This is our home, my dear. You will find no cause of discontent with it, I hope,” he said, In benign patronage, handing her up the noble flight of stone steps. ' • v . < ■. Thank you,” ahe replied, coldly. "It Is a part of the price for which I sold i myself,” she was meditating. “I must not quarrel with my bargain.” Miss Field met them In the hall—a wasp-like figure, surmounted by a small head. Her neck was bare and crane-like; her face very oval, her skin opaque and chalky; her hair black and shining, the front in long ringlets; her eyes jet beads, that rolled and twin kled incessantly. “My dear cousin!” she cried, effusive ly embracing her patron’s hand and winking back an officious tear. “It is like sunshine to have you home again. How are you?” "Well—thank you, Harriet; or, I should say, in tolerable health,” re turned Mr. Withers, magnificently con descending. "Allow me to introduce my wife, Mrs. Withers!” Miss Field swept a flourishing cour tesy. Constance, as the truer lady of the two, offered her hand. It was grasped very slightly, and instantly re linquished. “Charmed to have the honor, I am sure!” murmured Miss Field. “I trust I see Mrs. Withers quite well? But you, cousin—did I understand you to intimate that you were indisposed?” with strained solicitude. “A trifling attack of indigestion, not worth mentioning to any ears except ing yours, my good nurse.” Miss Field smiled indulgence In this concession to her anxiety, and Con stance, who now heard of the "indis position” for the first time, looked from one to the other in surprised si lence, “Perhaps Mrs. Withers would like to go directly to her apartments?” pur sued Harriet, primly, with another courtesy. “By all means,” Mr. Withers replied for her. “As it is, I fear your dinner will have to wait for her, If, as i pre sume is the case, you are punctual as is your custom.” “Could I fail in promptitude upon this day of all others?” queried Har riet, sentimentally arch, and preceded the bride upstairs. tTO HI COXTtXUl l.) HER CONTRIBUTION ACCEPTED. Her llrothor Paid for It at Advertising Kate*. Here is the amusing experience of an amateur literary aspirant which was told to me a few days ago, says a writar in the New York Commercial Adver tiser. i , « - ■ ■ vJ A young woman in New York wrote one day a short skit intended to be humorous. It aroused favorable com ment from her circle of friends and ahe made up her mind that it was good enough to be published in one of the humorous periodicals. Accordingly she submitted it to first one periodical, then another. It was a brief skit, only about fifty lines in all, and, aa her brother indulgently said, “couldn’t pos sibly have done any harm.” But still the hard-hearted editors failed to see the humor of it and kept sending it back to her. Finally the young author lost heart completely and was about to bury her poor little skit in the depths of her portfolio. Then her brother took pity on her and said: "Here, give me your skit. I’ll get it published or know the reason why.” A week or two later her skit ap peared in one of the humorous papero, and the young contributor enjoyed all the delights of first authorship, sending marked copies of the paper to friends, etc., etc. The contribution did not oc cupy a prominent place. It was among the advertisements, but the author had seen many comics among the adver- I tisements and she was too content* to see her contribution in type to ii quire farther. She never knew whi that twinkle in her brother s eyi meant and that ho had paid fnlLadve tising rates to insert her skit in “fifi lines spaee, single column, one inse Uon.”; , ■. . . , .7 ■- ♦ J-'i ■ it Before and After. “Do you really think he knows very much?",/ -f i ■«,, • , «, it- . v "My dear, sir: he knows as much as the average politician thinks he knows.” As much as he thinks he knows before or after the nomination?"

How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Lire Stock and Poultry. E met Mr. Henry Sowden of Mans field on a train the other day, and while he was tell ing us about his White Wyandottes, and the pleasure he had in them, an amused smile came into his face as he told us of an experience he had in selling eggs for hatching this sum mer, says Farm Poultry. A neigh bor had admired the White Wyandottes quite frequently, and expressed a wish to buy a sitting of eggs. Mr. S. told him he had none to spare this year, wanted them all himself. After he was all done setting hens for the season the neighbor came again and wanted eggs. Mr. S. told him he wasn’t keeping them separate, but thought he knew the White Wyandotte eggs pretty well, and could pick out a sitting. Feeling not quite certain, however, he put in seven teen eggs, thinking he would surely get a dozen that were right. Five or six weeks afterward the neighbor stoppeO as he was riding past, and on being asked how the eggs came out, expressed himself as not very well pleased—said he thought they must be from rather poor stock. On being ques tioned he said he got but nine chickens and that they had begun to die oft by the time they were a week old, and he had but four left now. Being asked if the hen had attended them faith fully, the man said she was a hen he borrowed from a neighbor, and he thought the weather was so warm the chicks didn’t need her, and he returned '<er when they were two or three days ofcl. Asked if he had only one hen to put ths eggs under, he said he had only one. There wa3 only one sitting of eggs, and he didn't think he needed more than one hen. Asked if she was dusted for lice, the man said, “No, and, by the way, the chicks were awfully lousy. You could see the lice crawling over them, especially over the down on their heads." And he thought it poor stock! Seventeen eggs under one hen, and that hen "borrowed,” and perfectly covered with lice; the chicks taken from the mother at only two or three days old, and the lice so thick on them they just swarmed all over them. No wonder more than half the chicks died! ’Tls a wonder they didn’t all die! It is practically certain that this man will soon be another “failure in the poultry business!" l*arrels of Dust. During the dry days of this month gather up from the highway a few bar rels of dust to be used in the dust boxes this winter. The probability is that most of cur readers will neglect this till it is too late, unless reminded of it in time. When the fall rains have fallen in large quantities the dust will not be fine enough to serve the purposes desired. It is a fine insecti cide and the hen will take care of the vermin if you will supply her with the proper amount of dust. A few barrels stored away will be worth money to the poultry keeper in the winter. It is a thing that cannot be figured out in dol lars and cents, but has a value very appreciable. There is nothlhg that vermin object to more than dust. On account of their system of breathing dust Is death. The little air tubes run hither and thither through their bodies and the air that flows through the tubes purifies the blood. If these little tubes become stopped up the in sect dies from strangulation, just as a person would die if air were shut out of their lungs. The fine dust gets into the little tubes of the insect and causes suffocation. For this reason the dust must be fine, for coarse dust will not fill up the tubes. Do not therefore neglect the dust bath for the hens. The Foolish Dairyman. And it came to pass that in the sixth month a certain man digged a well 20 cubits deep. Its walls were of stone, and when he had built the wall for 18 cubits he had no more stone. And he sayeth to himself: It will do, and fin isheth it off with a few boards. And in the tenth month there came a great flood, and the boards were washed away, and the well caved in, and it cost him many shekels before he could get water again from the well. The same man buyeth a cow, and he seeth two cows, one that giveth much milk and one that giveth not so much. And he buyeth the one that giveth not so much milk, for he sayeth she cost eth not so many shekels, and she will do. When he feedeth the cow he giveth her not much feed, for he sayeth feed is not plenty, and she getteth enough. And when he buyeth a milk pail he buyeth a small one, for he sayeth the cow giveth not much milk. And it came to pass when he wash eth the milk pail that the water was not hot, and he sayeth it will do. And when he selleth the butter he getteth not many shekels, for the butter was not good. About this time the wife of this man sayeth unto her lord: Give unto me shekels that I may buy myself raiment, for that which I wear is like unto mos quito netting for holes. And the man sayeth unto his wife: The weather is warm and thy raiment will do, for I have no shekels to give unto thee. Then the wife of that man answered him and said: O, foolish man! Post thou not know that unless thou doeth with thy might what thy hands findeth to do that thy labor Is lost? For want of two cubits of stone in thy well the 18 were lost. When thou buyeth a cow that giveth not much milk thou wert building but 18 cubits. And when thou, giveth her not enough food, and when thou takest not care of the milk, thou wert doing the same. O, foolish man? As for want of two cubits of stone thy well was lost, so for want of two shek els In the price of thy cow, and for want of two measures of meal, and for want of two moments of work is all thy profit in thy butter lost, and thou hast no shekels.—National Stockman. Drouth and Melk Production* Bulletin No. 105 from the N. Y. Ag ricultural Station (Geneva) treats of the effects of drought upon milk pro duction. The object of the bulletin is to display the results of a study of the milk production of fifty herds of cows during the season of 1895 from the first of May to the first of November. The purpose of this study was to determine the changes in the composition of milk as affecting the yield of butter and cheese, especially the latter, as well as to ascertain the variations in the actual production from these herds during this period of time, when the cows received only such food as the pastures afforded. Stated in general terms, the results are the following: 1. With the exception of the month of September, the pounds of fat in 100 lbs. of milk increased steadily from May to November. 2. The percentage of casein dimin ished through May, June and July, and then increased through August, Sep tember and October. 3. The cheese-producing power of 100 lbs. of milk increased through May, June and July, and then steadily and rapidly increased through August, Sep tember and October. 4. The total cheese yield was largest in June, and then rapidly diminished through July, August, September and October, with the exception of an in crease in September over the yield of the preceding month. The same could be said of the butter capacity of the total milk produced. Varieties of Strawberries. A bulletin of the Kentucky station says: The most popular and desirable varieties of strawberries now grown in Kentucky, judging from the experience of correspondents, as well as our own tests, and in the order given, are Bu bach, Haverland, Gandy, Crescent,War field, Michel, Downing, Lovett and En hance. Of the varieties which are at present cultivated only to a limited ex tent, the following seem worthy of trial, but some of these varieties are only desirable for a special purpose, as suggested in the notes above, and it would be wiser for cultivators to test them upon a limited scale before plant ing largely of them; Beverly, Bisel, Greenville, Timbrell, Marshall, Musk ingum, Princeton Chief, Rio. Amateurs should bear in mind that if pistillate varieties like Bubach and Haverland are selected, at least one-third as many plants of a perfect flowered variety of corresponding season should be planted with them, to Insure proper fertiliza tion. Moulting Time. Now is the time when the hens need to be supplied with food that will make not fat but feathers. When the cold weather sets in will be time enough to throw in the corn in considerable quantities. At the present time the feed should consist largely of oats and like food. If it be fed ground and steamed or cooked by scalding, so much the better. Feeding a mixture of bran ground oats and corn meal will give the birds a chance to make feathers quickly and without too great a strain on their systems. Give them food that will have a loosening effect, the kind of food we have indicated, and the probabilities are that you will lose no birds during the fall and winter. If you insist on feeding corn, do not ex pect your fowls to get through the moulting season with strength enough to go to laying. Give them nitroge nous food and you will have eggs all through the fall and winter. Bantrms In Close Quarters. Bantams are both the par excellence of pets and very useful as well. They make the best of pets because their pompous, strutting ways, coupled with their ridiculously insignificant size, render them objects of great attention to all mankind. They are useful, as they lay many eggs, which, though quite small, are rich in taste and of high quality. It would seem as if no childhood would be quite complete ex cept the boy or girl has a few bantams for his or her own amusement and profit. One good thing about bantams is the ease and facility with which they may be kept, even in small town and city lots, where the “backyard” is a very limited and circumscribed factor. The bantam quarters can be put up at very little expense of time and money. In fact, an old dry goods box, with slight alterations, will answer in lieu of better accommodations.—Exchange. Vegetables in the Home.—It is uni versally acknowledged that freshly gathered vegetables are far superior to stale ones, and yet it iq a big undertak ing to overcome a universal custom of buying. And ,y^ how easily could a large proportion of families raise al most all the vegetables they use, says Pacific Rural Press, and how much more they would use if they could get them fresh from their own gardens. It does not require a very large area to supply a family, and where water is handy two, three, or even four crops can be grown on the same ground in the year. The stock yards company at Chicago is building the largest swine quarters in the world. It covers fifty acres and will accommodate 200,000 swine guests at one time, in all the luxury their tastes rcauire. One of Groumtth’i Joke*. Mr. George Grossmith occasionally permits himself some relaxations from his labors in amusing the public. The other evening, at a big “at home,” he got behind the supper table in line with the waiters and tried to look as like one as possible. Presently there approached him a military looking old gentleman. Taking up a wine glass, he extended it to the supposed waiter, saying, “Will you please give me a glass of champagne?” “No, Sir,” said Grossmith, assuming an air of righteous indignation, "I cer tainly will not. ■ You have had more than is good for you.” The guest stared in amazemeut, put down the empty glass and walked off. —Weekly Telegraph.
