CHAPTER XHL-fConTiKoso.)
Whereupon he roas, and went out !■
to the street He etrolled aimlessly
•round until the gray twilight wrapped
the great city In a gloom more dense
than that of the smoky day-time fog,
until a thousand blinking eyes opened
bright and glittering along the straight
line of the street'* humble relief sen
tries for the stars, that had hid thpm
selves In sullen clouds of black. Then
he sought admittance at Colllnwood
House. Owing to the Indisposition of
Lady Annabel, the drawing-room was
free from visitors, but Eleanor came
down immediately upon receiving his
name. She looked tired and dispirited,
but smiled cheerfully when she saw
him.
"I should not be glad to see anyone
but you, Walter, for I am somewhat fa
tigued. Mamma has been ill all day,
and 1 have been extremely anxious.
But 1 shall look for you to coinlort mo,
as you always used to In the old days.
Bit down and talk, and let me luxuriate
In listening.”
He sighed.
"I fear I shall scarcely enliven you. I
am somewhat dull myself, but 1 will do
my best.”
So they strayed off Into a conversa
tion, commencing with prerent I.ondon
experience, but soon wandering away to
the old life. They forgot present grief
and care to recall the wild beauty of
those far-off haunts. They talked of
the cool green shadow flung by the Hi
biscus tree over the grave ot Tom—of
the musical dash of tho surf beneath
tbe coral rock—of the tall palm from
_L ■ _ v_ liAnnlntmlu

their tattered signal-flag—of his fath
er’s watchful care—Tom’s simple but
noble nature, and his heroic devotioD.
Was either aware how utterly had been
fulfilled the prophecy of Mr. Vernon T
They had gained the world—Its prizes
of fame and wealth and honor, and yet
their bruised hearts yearned wistfully
toward the innocent tranquility, the un
troubled peace of the retreat beneath
the palm and bread fruit grove.
The time passed rapidly, and they
were startled when a servant entered.
“My lady wishes to know if Mr. Ver
non is with you, and If so she would like
to see you both in her apartment.”
"Has my uncle gone'!” asked Elea
nor. "I left him with her a. few mo
ments ago.”
“Lord Colllnwood has been gone an
hour or more.”
"An hour! Have we talked so long?
Come, Walter, let us obey her sum
mons.”
They found Lady Annabel In an easy
chair, dressed in a snowy Cashmere
wrapper, which set off becomingly the
glittering dark eyes, raven braids and
feverish cheeks of the invalid. She was
evidently somewhat disturbed.
"I sent for you, Mr. Vernon,” said she
at once, “ because the admiral has just
related a rumor that came to him on hU
way hither, and It has made me very
uneasy. I trust you will contradict It.
Report says there is to be a duel be
tween my friend Geeffry Dacre and
yourself.”
Walter's eyes fell—his face showed
unmistakably the truth of her suspi
cion.
“I am deeply grieved," said she, lean
ing wearily against the damask cush
ion. “At any time it is so revolting—but
for you—”
"For me it Is as hateful as for any
one else," Interrupted Walter, proudly,
“but I am driven into it. 1 assure you
I have no thought of taking your
friend's life. I shall not even fire the
pistol but it he demands a chance to
ahoot at me, he is welcome to tt. The
consequence matters not to tne. and few
will mourn for me.”
Kleanor had listened aghast with
horror. She could restrain herself no
longer, and regardless of her mother's
presence she sprunk forw.tr.I usd caught
his hand.
“A duel' Waller, Walter, you will
break my heart. Kew to mourn for you?
Do you not know it will kill me to sec
you aarrlflced In that horrible way?
Promise me quick, Walter promise
me. that for my sake, this w leked deed

"You shall ascertain for yourself,"
answered Walter suddenly. ‘T intend
ed to leare my father's life for her to
read. You may read it to-night, and
then answer me if I am net Justified In
refusing to clasp that woman's hand.
Nay, send me word before eight In the
morning, and If after learning that sor
rowful story you bid me apologize to
Mrs. Dacre, I declare solemnly I will do
it. I shall only agitate you by remain
ing longer. You know my wish respect
ing the manuscript, which I will send
to you immediately. Lady Eleanor. Do
not grieve for such a hapless soul as
mine, God bless you! Good-night."
Walter returned to his own lodgings,
dispatched a messenger with the manu
script to Colllnwood House, and sat
down to write what he believed his last
message to Eleanor. He was Interrupt
ed by the viscount.
"I have Just seen Dacre," said he.
“He wishes to change the hour of meet
ing, and make It as early certainly as
seven. The rumor has got out, and he
fears a police Interruption. Have you
any objection?”
"None,” briefly responded Walter,
keeping on with his writing.
"Ah, Vernonl, I cannot bear to think
what may happen to this hand of yours,
so magical with the brush. For mer
cy’s sake give me some little word of
apology.”
"Apology — pshaw! That woman
knows what she Is about. There can be
no apology; she thinks my death will
make her safe. Leave me, my kind

than that.’’
The viscount took his bat and left the
room without another word.
Only once, through that feverish,
restless night was Walter disturbed. A
servant came to the door, saying ft
strange man below wished to see him
immediately. Not suspecting It was a
messenger from Lady Annabel, but
Imagining it had something to do with
the police detention, he refused to see
him.
CHAPTER XIV.
HE threatening
clouds of the past
night gave out slow
drops of rain, pat
tering dismally on
the pavement, as
Walter’s haggard
face looked forth
from the chamber
window. It was
well in consonance
with his feelings.
He went about his toilet duties with a
sort of stolid calmness, wound his
watch with scarcely a throb of pain,
when the thought that long before Its
ticking ceased his hand might be cold
In death. Then, after a hasty cup of cof
fee, he wrapped himself In his cloak
and wentforth to theappointed rendez
vous with his second.
Somerset was waiting for him with a
cabriolet. When they reached the field
they found Dacre waiting there. The
moor looked black and dreary In the
dripping rain, without the pleasant
prospect clear weather gave it. missing
sorely the bright glimpse of the
Thames, the huge city with St. Paul’s
noble dome rising out of the smoky belt
below, and the white-winged fleet wait
ing around the wharves, like carrier
doves ready for their mission.
Silently the ground was measured,
the glittering weapons examined and
handed to their owners. Walter folded
his arms over his with a scornful smile.
Then was raised the fata) handkerchief
and an awful stillness settled a mo
ment on the air, but it was broken sud
denly by a wild scream in a woman's
voice.
All turned in alarm. A carriage came
tearing through the misty clouds, the
coachman lashing recklessly the plung
tug horses. Scarcely a moment after
Its appearance the door was Hung open

"Thank Mod. I am not too late1 Hash

Lady Annabel motioned for Walter to
assist her to the carriage. He did so,
folding his arm carefully arqund her to
steady her faltering steps, and yet it
was the Annabel Marston be had taught
himself to abhor and despise. She
smiled mournfully at his assiduous care
for her, and said, faintly:
“Oo home with me, Walter, and yon
shall know the secret of the mournful
story. Perchance you may feel more
sympathy with your father's destroyer
than you have believed possible.”
Walter took the seat beside her, and
though not another word was spoken,
never removed his eyes from the wan,
deathly face that lay back wearily
against the cushions. Was this the
proud, Btately, admired woman before
whom nobility and genius bowed in
homage? that Lady Annabel whose per
fection and superiority shamed even
the virtuous? the woman who had de
liberately deceived a loving, trusting
heart, sold herself for dross, dipped her
fair hands In crime? No wonder Wal
ter walked as In a dream when he fol
lowed up the polished staircase to tht
luxurious, elegant room of Lady Ann
abel.
Eleanor's pale face Just looked In a
moment, and was vanishing, when her
mother called her.
"Come In, my love; I need you. Take
away my hat and cloak, and bring my
cordial, without calling Claudlne."
The affectionate daughter complied,
gently removing the bonnet and strok
ing fondly the glossy ebony hair. Lady
Annabel rested a few moments after
drinking the cordial, and then said,
calmly:
oik uunu line vy uiy diuc, uiy tun*
dren, and I will relate the humiliating
story, which my poor Eleanor has heard
before, and scarcely yet recovered from
the shock. I was brought up at my
grandfather’s, for my mother died at
my birth, and my father lived only two
years after her. My earliest remem
brances are of the childish terror with
which I regarded my father's sister, the
Hon. Pamella Marston, and of the pas
sionate love lavished upon the only be
ing who cared for me, my Aunt Marcia
Wellesford, my mother's eldest sister.
A little later came an intense hatred
of my beautiful cousin Flora, the es
pecial pet and pride of the Marstons.
My father married against the wishes
of hlB family, and from the moment he
brought his bride to his father’s house,
my mother was the object of his haugh
ty sisters’ dislike and persecution. I
know this no better now than I realized
It then; for the enmity bestowed upon
the mother was not burled In her cof
fin, but survived to torment me.

THE "HUNTING” COW.
How a Nabraika Sian Deceive* the Wll*
«ea*e.
“Hunting Cow” is the name given by
John Sievers of Ames, Neb., to a unique
device for sportsmen, says the New
York World. The finest wild-goose
hunting in the United States is found
in the meadows of Nebraska. The fowl
are very knowing, and distinguish the
figure of a hunter a long distance,
whereupon they fly away. Horses,
cattle and sheep are not feared by the
geese, and they graze iir the very midst
of the flocks of birds. Inventor Sievers
has taken advantage of this by con
structing a machine outwardly re
sembling a cow. The frame is made of
very light willow, covered with canvas,
painted reddish brown and white. An
opening near the front legs permits
the hunter to enter. His head fits In
a hat-like frame which supports the
head of the cow. A hole in the fore
head permits him to see. When the
hunter walks the hinds legs automat
ically keep step with the forelegs and
the tail switches realistically. The
head can be moved by the hunter in
any direction. When a field is reached
in which a flock of geese are feeding
the hunter inside the “cow" simulates
(he movements of grazing cattle until
within gunshot of the game. By draw
ing a bolt the fore part of the cow falls
apart and enables the hunter to use
his gun at short range. The Inventor
asserts that other game than geese may
be successfully stalked by the
mechanical cow. The device will sell
for f30. It U to be so made as to be
rosily taken apart and packed for
transportation.

For some time
they were applied
without being

ner. During the first three-fourths
of this century they were com
posted with many kinds of ma
terial, especially with lime, ashes
And animal refuse. In 1840, super
phosphate was first made by Liebig,
who accomplished this by '‘dissolving”
bones with sulfuric acid. Shortly
thereafter Sir John Lawes manufac
tured “superphoebate of lime” by this
process. Bones were soon ground to
"bone-meal.” This method of treat
ment has been highly developed, so
that now a large variety of uroducts
known by the general term of bone
meal are made. The varieties consider
ed in this bulletin are raw bone-meal,
produced by simple grinding, steamed
bone-meal by steaming and grinding,
and "glue-free” bone-meal, obtained
by grinding what remains after the
glue has been removed from the bones
by cooking. These are each further
classified according to the fineness of
their particles. The fineness of a bone
meal Is ascertained by passing the ma
terial through a series of sieves, with
meshes of regularly decreasing size,
and weighing the different stftlnge. It
has long been held that phosphoric
acid In bones and bone-meal Is In such
form, as to be quickly available to
plants, when applied to the soil. Bone

This subject has been written on be
fore but will bear repeating, as It Is
mostly amateur bee keeper?, where
bees are kept at all, that read only
agricultural papers, as. If they would
take regular bee Journals, and espe
cially procure a bee book there would
bo no necessity for them to write to
■ny one to know how to clear their
bees of the moth worms, says J. W.
Reuse In Journal of Agriculture, In
the first place a good strong colony of
bees with a queen are practically moth
proof of themselves. We have seen
some so called moth proof hives, but
as moths can go wherever a bee can,
a moth proof hive Is a humbug; but
If the bees are strong In numbers they
can protect themselves agnlpst the
moths. When moths do get In a hive
they can be removed by lifting the
frames containing the combs out of
the hive and with a pointed knife lift
them out of the comb. They can be
easily detected and found by the white
appearance In the comb where they
have burled themselves. Remove all
trash or webs that may be found, and
see that the bees have a laying queen.
If the bees are In a box-hive, or gum,
so that the combs cannot be removed
for examination, the case Is hopeless,
as a hive that cannot be looked Into
Is no good when moths get Into It. A
question was asked by one "How
many bees are In a new swarm?" We
saw one answer given that there should
be some three or four pounds of bees.
We would consider that to be a very
small swarm. About eight pounds Is
a fair average swarm, but we have had
them to be much heavier than that;
the heaviest swarm we ever had until
this season was twelve pounds; but we
bad one this season that weighed fif
teen pounds. We catch our swarms In
a swarming box and can weigh them,
so we do not have to guess at it. Some
may think that this swarm alluded to
might have been two swarms united;
but it was not the case, as we were
In the apiary at the time and saw the
bees come out and saw them settle and
then we took them in our swarming
box and weighed them. These bees
are giving us a large lot of honey. We
it was very pleasant to us to have In
plain view white oak, black and red
oak, linden, sassafras, butternut, shell
bark, pignut, three or four kinds, all
sweet, and one fine bitternut, and last
in a damp soil, one grand, native elm,
In whose drooping branches the hang
bird annually swung his purse. Where
there was room, I put In a maple or
eheatnut, end In narrower spaces a
white pine or Norway spruce. I would
not, however, recommend cheetnut In
most Indiana soils.
No doubt many are preparing to plant
this spring, and should be well In
formed as to distances, kinds, etc.
Would It not be possible to send a
little circular to the county societies,
giving the proper Information? Be

New York, after her long experience,
has made 70 feet the legal distance,
and Michigan law says not less than 60
feet. These long openings may be
broken for a time with some small
tree or large shrub or evergreen,as dog
wood, service or Juneberry, mulberry,
papaw, Ted bud, blue beech, black haw,
Mountain Ash, purple fringe, etc. Nur
sery trees are generally the best root
ed. In any case, set small trees and
avoid tall poles. I have seen beautiful
rows of golden and weeping willows,
the latter not hardy enough here. Lom
bardy poplar, also, should be avoided,
as short lived. There Is a tree, how
ever, that grows like Lombardy that
might be substituted—the Bolena pop
lar. It appears to be hardy as does
the Carolina poplar, a very rapid
spreading grower. Both are found In
the nurseries. 1 have not mentioned
the cucumber tree which Is often beau
tiful, but I am not making a special
point of naming the kinds, I would
rather desire to press the point of not
planting too many of any one kind.
Take, for Instance, a long stretch of
any one kind of maple. The monotony
of so many trees almost exactly alike

meal has been considered profitable for
application to light, sandy soils, espe
cially to those low In phosphoric acid.
During the past decade many tests
have been made by various experiment
ers, to determine the actual availabil
ity of this form of phosphoric acid, as
compared with that in Apatite, South
Carolina phosphate, and other mineral
phosphates, as well as superphosphates.
The summary of these experiments
may be given as follows:
1. The superior value which has
hitherto been accorded to undlssolved
bone-meal aa a fertillxer la due sole
ly to the nitrogen which It contains.
2. Undlssolved bone-meal as a phos
phate fertillxer la no more valuable
than are the raw mineral phosphates.
S. Hereafter It must be classed with
the latter, rather than with high grade
phosphate* containing available phos
phoric acid.
4. Aa a phosphate fertiliser It yields
uo better results than mineral phos
phates, whether tried alone or with
•uperphosphate, on loam* or sandy
soils, on soils rich or very poor In phos
phoric add. whether with grains or
with turnips, mustard, or other cru

succeeding crops.

results.

B. W. Steere, Carthage, Ind., before
the Indiana Horticultural Society,
spoke as follows:
In planting trees along our highways
the narrow roads In many places would
appear as one of the chief difficulties
to be overcome. I have been accus
tomed to four-rod roads, as In Michi
gan all section line roads are, by law.
and most of the laid out roads are the
same. This width allows the row of
trees to be planted eight feet from the
fence, giving a nice sidewalk for school
children and calling neighbors, an Im
portant matter on dirt roads. The rem
edy that suggests Itself for narrow
roads is to set the row close to the
fence, in the field or out, with wulk
outside of it. In the discussion of best
kinds 1 see that some recommend fruit
trees. Experience has repeatedly ahowu
that this Is a mistake. Where tried, 1

If farmers would farm more for a liv

they would live better and make more

The essential thing to do, and it is of
prime Importance, Is to produce all the
food crops on the farm that are neces

On farms remote from market, farmers
cannot successfully diversify their ag
