CIIAl'TER V.
The fair Isle of Wight was looking
at Us fairest on a glorious evening at
the end of Apt 11 , when the mall p.ick-
ft from Portsmouth jiteamed across the
Solent towards Hyde Pier.
The green verdure of building sum
mer lay thickly on the far-stretching
landscape and the tall trees dotted
through the Island , town , rising no pic
turesquely upward from the sea , and
flipped by the lofty spire of the parish
church.
The long promenade pier was gay
with holiday makers , and eastward ,
the esplanade was bright with patches
of spring ( lowers ; while the soft mul-
ody of a brass band Heated fitfully out
over the -.Hiiro sea.
There were two travelers on board
the steamer who regarded t'iie fair
Bccno before them with enraptured
oycs , for they were bride and bride
groom on their wedding tour Roddy
and Diana Gordon and the veriest
desert' must 'have aociiicd a paradise to
them in the all satisfying happiness
v.'hlch union had brought'(6 liodi. But
Mio fashionable Rydc'waH ' not1 to1 ba
their destination.
Their young lo.ye as yet demanded
the charm of solace of uollludc ; and It
was southward , towurdd the great bluff
white cliffs and 'the silvv strands' ' of
Shankiln the Island train was soon
HWlftly bearing thorn , to the rose-cov
ered cottage which was to' hold for
them the first mystic name of home.
Home ! "v\vha't a talisman fiiy In that
simple word ! And as the young1 sol
dier led hla happy bride across' ' the
threshold li'la heart swelled with grati
tude to the God who had shielded him
through perils" Qf" pain J'nnd Tfttcr
bloodshed in 'far Indla. to bring' him
lo this haven of peace mid perfect love
at last.
And presently , as they lingered over
dinner , reluctant to bring to an end
that first delicious repasj , shared In
I heir Eden'togetherthoyspoke of Don
over whose welfare they yearned with
all the tender sympathy -born of111011 - '
own happiness and largcx-iieaHeil , love.
Roddy had brought round lls. ( des
sert plate and sat down , by Diana's
side , ostensibly to Invite her to poet
his walnuts , a task "of which Roddy
himself had no .aptitude ; but another
diversion occurred by the arrival'of the
post , the last mall for the night.
One letter was from Don , which had
been posted to Gadle Hu1 and now
forwarded by Roddy'B father. And as
Iloddy tore It open and scanned its
contents an exclamation of pleasure
passed his lips.
"Thcrje , llttlo wife , didn't I.-prcdict
thin1 ? " ho said ' trlrtntjiliaji'tiy. . And
forthwith he read aloud n few hasty
lines Don had penned to Rodity on the
night of his betrothal to Lllllo Dor-
went , previous to his departure for the
camp of the Tlrah force.
U was a wonderfully bright letter for
Don , full of congratulation on Itoddy'a
forthcoming marriage and calm satis
faction In his own engagement ; and It
ended with a postscript that stirred
liotn Dl and Roddy to the heart.
"I begin to think , old fellow , per-
liaps you are right , and life Is worth
living after nil. "
Happy tears had sprung to Diana's
dark eyes , and , seeing them , Roddy's
arm stole round her wnlst , and he drew
her head to his shoulder and lightly
touched its auburn locks with his lips.
"You are satisfied now , little woman ,
that Llllle has met her real 'hero' at
last ? "
She looked up In his laughing eyes
with a tender smile , for she knew ho
was thinking of a time when she be
lieved Lllllo to be his own only love ,
and oho answered \\Ilh contrite sweet
ness :
"Ah , Roddy , how good God Is , If we
would only trust Him to shape our
lives as He knows best ! "
The silence of a deep content fell
upon them , and by and by they strolled
out to where the great chalk clllfs
rene in dazzling whiteness up from the
sea into the blue sky , over which the
silvery stars of night were coming out
one by one , twinkling like tiny globes
of 1\re.
Dehind them reared the rugged
stretch of undcrcllff , down the woodetl
precipice of which the murmuring
stream meandered from village to
jihore , and by whoso side ran a series
' of gigantic steps a mighty precipice
that savored almost of Alpine suu-
-llmlty.
The lovers for they were lovers
Htlll stood hand-ln-hand and 'drank
Ju the beauty of It all with that rapture
which only comes when viewing some
ectnu In the presence of one we love.
Even Gadle , lovely Gadle , with Un
silvery , shining waters was forgotten.
They were hero together , and It was
' the paradise of the world.
4Yet ev.er and anon , as they ga/ed OH I
on the deep ocean , the thoughts of
each would turn to Don ; and once
Diana spoke , with n wistful little break
In her voice.
* * ' ' "Surely ; Roddy , yoil wlUifoJ'Kjvo am

} bring hm.'bacU'nto iu once mpre ? "
My ladye fair cnn rule"my 'jioul ,
And ovcMy.tlur.Vfeht . and' ejl control. "
lltfddy cni'itf-d ' gaily. Then , with louder
passion , lie clasped the hand ho held
ntlll tighter , and sp6lo : more gravely ,
"What was Unit line you repeated n
moment ago , Dl ? "
" 'The waters swell before a boister
ous storm ; but leave It att to'tfo ! ! ' . ' "
' 'ns Utc'i' slh'wfy made { hoff way along
the esplanade homeward , the 'hews-
paper liojs were calling the evening
edition of the .London papers , which
hud just nnjy.oiom.Hy / i ; by the last
mall for the night , and Iloddy called
an iireliln to Ill's side , hhTc'hfcck'pAHng
Involuntarily as ( he lustyt shout , caught
his ear : "Rebel firing Into Bant Camp.
Hrltlsh ofUee'r Itllled ; orderly'woutid -
'ell ! ' " - 6.n j-.t
j > Ho hastily opened the niihcat , and
R I end still under-a gas > lamp to-scan
Its columns ; whilst Diana , with
anxious eyes , looked over his shoulder.
If or , peaceful as It had been on the In
dian frontier , for some months now ,
her thoughts wore ever quick to Hy
to Don and Llllle's father , of whom
any hour might bring disastrous news.
A lion i so cxclamatlonjiurst from the
lips of both as , simultaneously , 'hus- '
band and wife caught , sight of .tlie fatal
paragraph. ' '
, , The name nf. the ofllccr was Capt.
Dei-went of the Gordon Highlanders !
And far , f.ir away Iho red Afghan
sun had set anild somber clouds above
the snow-clad Rtunntittt of Tlrah and
the white tentn of the British camp in
the Bara Strath.
There hud been rain and thunder all
day , and the clouds had gathered in
dense-masses , edged by tlie radiance of
the hidden moon. And athwart the
clouds now and then shot gleams of
vivid lightning , falling with weird sol
emnity upon a Uo'fllri , draped with the
Union Jack , carried shoulder high by
stalwart Highlands.
i iio cortege was preceded Hy pipers
playing the low and wall I tig dirge of
"Lochabcr no more , " ' and followed by
a litrlng of olllcors and soldiers wear
ing -long , ' npoctral-llke cloaks , and
walking with slow steps and heads
downbent.
Soon ah , how soon ! It was all
over , and all that was left of their gal
lant comrade was committed to that
lonely nullah , "In sure and certain
hope of the resurrection of eternal
life. "
No farewell shots were fired ; but
the captain's own detachment present
ed arms , and the pipers awoke tlie dim
valley once more with their pibroch ;
but It was "The Land o' the Leal" now
that they played.
And as Don Gordon turned from that
lonely grave , and pictured the Image
of her who held the dead GO dear , for
onn wild moment he felt he would
sooner , far sooner lie there , too , than
face the anguish of Lllllo's pure eyes ;
while In his heart rang the chaplain's
words , like the cry of a lost soul :
"Deliver us not into tlie pains of
eternal death. "
CHAPTER VI.
- It had been a morning of languorous
heat , and now noon the long , breath
less Indian noon was.it . ; , its meridian ,
when , on a day in May , Don Gordon
arrived at Rawal IMndi and rode out
under a burning sun to Lilllo Der-
went's house. - >
The durwan met him with evident
mil-prise and the intimation that "the
gates were closed" ( polite Hlndostanl
for "not nt homo" ) , and for an Instant
Don's heart"stoo'd still , with a vague
fear of ho knew not what.
Then suddenly he remembered it was
the hour of siesta , a time when visits
arc never paid In India ; and , reas-
smed , ho dismounted from his horse ,
and , presenting his can ] with the ob-
tervatlon that "the jnemsahib would
be sure to see him on receipt ot that , "
ho passed through the vestibule with
masterful step , and wont unannounced
Into the drawing room to await Ullle's
coming.
How long ho waited he know not.
He walked to the window and noted ,
as the mind will note the veriest trifles
at moments of tense excitement , that
the great adjutant birds were still doz
ing * In the sunshine , and the peacocks
were spreading Iheir gorgeous plumes
on the terrace , as when last he looked
on. upon It from this same window.
The oleander , with its clusters of
pink ; the baubel , wllb Us perfumed
bells of gold ) the Jasmine and acacia ,
luxuriant In their wild bpauty ; Iho
blue jays and Ihc crested yellow spar-
loWs , Hitting from shrub "to shrub ; the
brilliant butterflies , sailing through the
voiceless air all was unchanged , only
the fair Indian home would know Us
master never more.
Nevc\- \ more ! There was something
terrible In tao conviction , something
appalling to Don to remember that
dentil , chill and '
stern , nd'awful , lay
beyond this warm young world of bud
ding beauty.
A sharp groan fell from his lips ,
stifled even as It escaped thorn ; for
thtf portiere had mailed , ainV.hg turned
quickly to find he was no louger-alone.
r.llllo had come lo" him Juat aa'she '
had risen from hei'-ales'fa' ller-gojden
huh' , l t lo'ostT'for coolness , streamed
over her white muslin robe , and round
bet u-alst way a broad snsh of black
n'obou , the sight of which sent n fresh
pang to her lover's heart.
"A great sorrow nobly borne Is A
great dignity. " An Don looked at her
he realized , almost with a feeling ot
awe , that such dignity had fallen upon
Little now , The dlro calamity who
had so dreaded had come to pass , yet
she had not sunk beneath the blow.
The passion of her grief was spent
and restgnalion had come. Anguish
had left Its pallor on her check , but the
hopelessness of despair wan not past.
Doi ) looked at her , marveling at her
fortitude and calm ; then the next In-
Ktant his arms wore closing round her
*
like a vise and straining her to his
beating heart , for her calm had given
way , and nho had Mown to the shel
ter of lIs | ( cmbiace , with a tender , sob
bing cry.
"Oh , Don , Don. my all on earth
now ! " she cried.
Ho held her light , and kissed her
again and again. It was as If ho
ijreaded HIP moment might come when
ho should never hold her thus any
more , and ho was drinking to the
full this cmblttoicd cup of bliss. Pres
ently she withdrew herself , for there
was something almost fierce In the
fervor of bin caresses. She sank on
a divan , and put out her hand to him
to sit by her.
"Tell me , " she said faintly , "all
about It. "
And Don told her , with low voice
and averted eyes that story which the
prcna paragraphs , so comprehensive ,
yet so ciuel In their brevity , had al
ready burnt like a searing Iron Into
heart and brain.
It was shortly befoie the mess-hour.
Several successive shots had been
heard in the valley , and two had
penetrated one of the mess tents and
wounded an orderly whilst In the act
of laying a table. Captain Derwcnt
and himself were returning from a
stroll along the banks of tlie nullah ,
when a bullet whizzed between them
which struck Captain Dcrwent , and
he dropped Instantly at the narrator's
feet , shot through the heart.
Every effort was being made to
track the perpetrator of the crime and
avenge the captain's death ; but so
far the rebels had escaped.
"And you yourself wore the only ono
near when he died ? " she said , through
the tears which wore now ntreaming
silently down her pallid , lovely face.
"Yes. And owing to the dense un
dergrowth , It was Impossible for mete
to follow the direction the shot came
fiom. Directly he fell I did my utmost
to stop the bleeding ; but I saw at once
It was useless. Death had been in-
stantanoous. I got help from the
camp then , and WP carried him down
to his tent. Next night we buried him
close to where be fell. " Don's voice
was husky and strained , and suddenly ,
at sjght.of his Ill-concealed emotion ,
she checked her tears and laid her
golden bead upon his shoulder with
a trustful tenderness that went to hlu
heart.
"My poor Don ! bow you , too , must
have suffered ! "
Ho caught her to him with a passion
ate caress , all the more passlointe be
cause the thought amitlcd him how
once not love , but more ambition , had
urged him lo lay siege lo this confid
ing heart.
"I have suffered , " he said , very low ,
"more than I can say , Lllllo. "
She looked up In bis face and saw
that he spoke truly.
Ills brow was lined and his chek
palo ; his brown eyes had a haggard
look she had never Been in thorn ; and ,
remembering with a gicat rush of joy.
he , too , might have never conic back
from that wild pans which had made
her fatherless sln returned his em
brace with all the sweet naivete of a
child who clung now to her solo pro
tector.

JOSEPHINE LIVED FOR DRESS.

The love of the Empress Josephine
for dress , and her extravagance in
gratifying It , are matters of history.
Her annual allowance of ( JOO.OOO francs
was not sufllclent to pay for the grat
ification of her vanity , and year after
year her debts Increased In the most
alarming fashion. Dress with IHMwns
the absorbing object and Interest In
life , and she was unwearied In her ef
forts to preserve and enhance her
beauty. Three times a. day she changed
her linen , and slu never wore stock
ing. ! that wore not absolutely now.
Hugo baskets wore brought to her
every moinlng containing a selection
of gowns , shawls and hats , and from
these who chose what she would wear
during the day. She possessed be

which she wore In the morning , draped
about her beautiful shoulders with
wonderful grace. Her evening toilet
was as careful as that of the morning ;
then her hair waa adorned with ( low
ers , pearls or preelbus stones. The
Binullest assembly was always the oc
casion for buying n new costume , and
that in spite oft having almost Incredi
ble stores of dresses at the various
palaces. For shawls the empress had
such a penchapt that she bought all

I'rullt In tlio Orchard.
( Condensed from Karmern * novlew
Stenographic Report of Illinois Fanners'
imtltuto Homultip. )
II. A. Aldrlch said In part : Whenever -
ever an orchard overbears It Is In
jured for n long time. After an or
chard comes Into bearing , no plow
should bo put Into It. It Is better to
cultivate It by moans of n cut away
harrow , and follow that by n smooth *
Ing harrow. Young trees not In bearIng -
Ing should bo plowed deep , C or 7
Inches. That will compel the roots
to strike deeper. Trees so treated get
BO well rooted that Ihey can't bo
blown over. Wo should not grow hay
In an orchard , aa the grass will always
take the cream of the land and the
trees will get nothing but the skim
milk. Trees in soil suffer from drouth ,
f-nd the sod Is a harbor for all kinds
c ! Insects , borers especially. When an
orchard comes Into bearing , give It
the , whole ground. If your orchard Is
not profitable do not lay nil the blame
on It. The question Is asked , "Does
spraying pay ? " There Is no longer
any doubt on that point. It costs only
7 to 15 cents a tree to spray.
Q. At what time should wo spray ?
Mr. Aldrlch. Throe limes ; just be
fore Ihe blossoms open ; just after the
petals have fallen ; and two weeks
later.
CJ. Do you spray your trees before
they come Into bearing ?
Mr. Aldrlch. The sooner you begin
to spray the holler. Begin the same
ycnr.you set them , and keep It up , so
that when they commence to bear you
won't have any scab to light.
Q. When the limbs ot the trees of
nn orchard hang too low to permit of
cultivation to what extent should wo
prune , to make It possible to cultivate ?
Mr , Aldrlch. 1 cut my trees back
so I can get near the trees or under
them , but I never cut off large limbs.
Wherever you cut off a limb that is
more than an Inch and a half In dlam-
eier be sure to paint the cut to pre
vent bacteria from getting In. Prune
In summer for fruit and In winter for
wood.
Q. What do you think about cut
ting off of great limbs sometimes s'.x '
Inches In diameter ?
Mr. Aldrlch. I would not do that ;
I call that butchery.
Q. Is not the rubbing of Ihe hoga
against the treed very injurious ?
Mr. Aldrlch. Well , that question Is
brought up again and again , by men
that had hogs in their orchard and
lost some of their trees , but I do not
believe that the hogs rubbing against
the trees Is what did the damage. I
went Into some of those orchards , and
In every case I found the ground
packed hard , and that Is , I believe ,
what killed the trnes.
Q. Is It a good idea to make a
chicken yard out of the orchard ?
Mr. Aldrlch. Yes , sir ; If you culti
vate It.
irl Fruit I'ronpiicU.
Under date ot Feb. 15 the secretary
of the Missouri State Horticultural So
ciety sends us the following : From
icporls from ninety throe counties of
the state , wo cull the following :
Apple orchards , where well cared
for , are In very fair condition and
promise n good crop. Old and neg
lected orchauls are not In good condi
tion and prospects are not good. In
jury of trees by freaze of February ,
1809 , still shows in many places to bo
serious.
Peach orchards , wnere pioperly cut
back last spring , have most of them
made a line growth and will hold a fall-
crop of peaches. Trees not cut back
and those cut back too severely , and
old trees have many of them died.
The very rapid growth on' the cut
back trees has pi-evented the formation
of very many fruit bills , and bonce we
cannot expect a full crop. Some ot
the buds have alieady been killed , but
there are left , on most trees , all the
buds that the trees should have.
i'ear , plum and cherry trees , al
though badly injured in some localities ,
have formed a good lot of fruit budi
and the prospect Is good for all of
these fruits.
Strawberries have not made a good
stand and the prospect is that the crop
will bo very much shorter than for
years.
Raspberries and blackberries have
generally recovered from the freeze of
' 111) ) and we may expect nearly n full
crop.
Grapes are In good condition and
promise well.
Taking It all In all wo can now
safely say that there will bo nearly n
full crop of apples , a half crop ot
peaches , u two-thirds crop of pears ,
plums and cherries , a half crop ot
strawberries and raspberries , and a
full crop of blackberries and grapes.-
But we still have the most dangerous
part of the season lo pass. L. A. Goodman -
man , Sccrctaiy.
Some people wonder why more
squabs are not raised for market , and
say that when pigeons are so very pro
lific there should bo no reason for the
squabs selling at from 125 cents to CO
cents each oven In winter. The reason
why more squabs are not produced
is doubtless duo to the fact that the
men that attempt to raise pigeons do
not conflno them In covered yards , that
Is , yards with wire sides ami tops. The
result Is that all kinds of enemies prey
on the pigeons and the constant loss
from this is largo and discouraging. II
doves are to bo kept for the squabs
they produce It Is evident that the
work to bo successful must bo scienti
fically carried on.
The DIto of a Pig. It Is a rather
remarkable fact that the bite of the
nig Is more dangerous than that of any
of our farm animals. Why this Is so
Is not easily accounted for ; but the fact
remains that Injuries Innlctcd by pigs
usually take n much longer time to
heal than thos Inflicted by , say , horses
or dogs. However , wounds Intllctct
by swine are of rather rare occurrence

There Is ttiM much gossip In Y'ash-
inglon rcgatdlng the presidential aspl-
rntloiiH < ' . Admiral Dcwey or rather
of M''O. TXwcy , for she Is credited with
being much more desirous of such ad
