The sea son was about to' open, and it promised to be an unusually brilliant one; but at that juncture, an unfortunate occurrence changed the aspect of affairs. The leading man of my company J ana an uncommonly nne company it was, too was drowned in Lake Poncthartrain, while on a fishing ex cursion. I was at my wit's end to re place the young man an actor of splendid ability and was almost ready to despair. Time was flying, and the date upon which the Varieties was ex pected to open would soon arrive, and something must be done. One morning, while sitting alone in my office,ayoung man made bis appear ance, and requested an interview. lie was about thirty years of age, and one of the most perfectly handsome men it has ever been ray fortune to meet; added to great personal beauty, he possessed a graceful figure and pleas ing address. His name was Edgar Harding, and he had called to apply for the position made vacant by the death of my leading man. I was favorably impressed. He evinced a talent of a high order which I soon proved by an impromptu re hearsal. My terms suited him: the result of the interview was his en gagement. The leading lady of the company was 31iss Helen Gray a dark-eyed, sweet-voiced girl a great favorite. I saw that these two in their respective roles were destined to create a sensa tion, and take the theater-going peo ple by storm. So it proved; the very first night they scored a grand suc cess. And as the davs went by, it be came evident that Helen and Edgar were destined to become more than mere professional associates. Thev seemed to literally exist for each other. I have never seen two people better suited, and I did not disap prove of the probable ending to the pretty love story. Why bhould they not marry, atid live happily? I had recently embarked upon the matri monial sea mi'self, and was ready to declare that it was the only way to be happy. In those dajs divorce suits were not half so popular as they are now, and the significant question, "Is marriage a failure?' had not been publicly dis cussed. So, I watehed the progress of the affair, chuckling in ward ty, as I fancied I could "hear the sound of wedding-bells." Toward the close of the theatrical season, we had placed upon the boanU a new plav called "Deserted." It had a pathetic plot; the old, old story of a loving, trusting woman deserted by the villain wIkmc wife she believed herself to be The play was full of tragic incidents, and 1 had hoped great things from it. It whs at the last rehearsal that I came mion a pretty scene no down in the program. Edgar Harding was standing at Miss Gray's side in a re tired corner; as I paused for an in stant I saw him lean suddenly for ward and take her graceful form in h:s arms, while he murmured tender love words. And then a strange occurrence took place. As I turned swiftly awa., no', wishing to intrude upon a real love scene, I s-aw. standing just behind the pair who were so engrossed in each other that they observed nothing a shadowy female figure. I say shadowy, for it seemed as if a cloud . Tin: siiAnowY roi:i or ivoiian. was resting upon the ethereal form, like a misty vail. She was a stranger to me; I had never met the ladr before A face of p:illid. uucarthly bcautj-, with great sad blue eyes, antt a mass of flowing golditfi hair: shr sto d gazing upon t.'iat tender scene with a look of wild appeul, intense suffering anguish berond expression.

I believe I will make a clean breast of it to you!" I tried to smile and make light of the prospective confession. "If it concerns Miss Gray, you both have my best wishes, Harding," I cried, "and I mean to srive ive you a swell i . V '"' i"1 ! wedding! I can well vour united efforts have made mv suc cess this season." He smiled sadly, ghost of a smile. it was the very i "That day will never come!" he re turned, gravely. "I love her with all my heart. She (Heaven bless her!) returns my love, yet I must not, dare not, make her my wife. Burton, I am a haunted man!" "Bah! Nonsense!" I laughed a trifle uneasily. Why, Edgar, what in the name of common sense is the mat ter with you? Surely all is well since she loves you in return. And, in fact anybody can see that!" His face flushed, and a tender smile stole over his lips. "I can never bind her life to mine," he said, sadly. "Burton, have you ever read a poem which says: Of once sown seed, who knoweth what the crop is?' Well, 1 have found out that when we sow the seeds of sin, we reap misery and death. Listen, while I tell you the story of my sin: "Some five years ago I loved or thought I loved a girl in the North. I was a wild sort of chaD in those days, and so although I suppose you will despise me for it I deceived her. She believed herself to be mv wife. Burton, bat I cruelly, basely deceived her. She had no legal claim upon me: and at last, weary of tho tie, I de serted her. "When she found out the truth, she lost her reason, and in a sbort time committed suicide, stabbing herself to the heart. Poor Lenore! she is amply revenged. Her spirit has haunted me from that day to tlus. I can sec her now, standing before me, with her pale, sad face, and great heart- ,Bnwr of orokcn blue eyes, and flowing golden vEf?foJhair, in one hand the dagger with which she took her own life. Burton, I tell you truly, it is driving me mad. I would not, dare not, ask that noble girl, Helen Gray, to be my wife and share the haunted life whicL is my doom." His story ended, he arose abruptly and left me, in blank be ;viJdcrmcnt, -to think over what L had heard and what I had seen! Unt I was soon aroused from my reverie. The curtain was about to arise, and I had duties to perform. But first I went around Urthe wings, where I expected to find JMiss Gray. She was all ready togoon;1ooking like a picture, as she always did. For cither on or off the stage, Helen Gray was the prettiest little -.ireature im aginable, and I loved her as a father loves his favorite child. The curtain went up and the play began. In the midst of a pathetic scene I took up niv position in a re tired corner to watch the progress of the play quite eoncealid from view of the audience. Helen Gray was on and her actbug was grnsid. She was the deserted wife the beautiful be trayed and she wis kneeling at the feet of the villain who had broken her heart, her hands clasped in supplica tion, as sh2 legged him t- have mercy upon her, and take her back to his heart again. He stood gazing coldly down upon her, his faue like a handsome mask, his dusky eyes full of scorn. He was ato-.it to turn away from her. to cast her off. and repudiate her forever. He was about to speak, but all at once his eyes fell upon some object at the farther end of tho stage, and the words died on his lips in a hollow groan. I irlanced in the direction in which he was staring with wide-open, terror dilated eyes, and mv heart gave a mad bound and then stood still. For, standing at the opposite wing from where I was conccale I from view, I saw the shadowy form of a woman with pallid face and flowing golden hair, and wild biue eyes. She was all in wliite, and one hand held a tiny dagger. It was the apparition that I had already beheld. "Edgar stared like a statue, his breath coming thick and fast, his eyes dark with horror. He made one unsteady step in the di rection of the specter; then faltering, brokenly, the name "Lenoro!" he fell heavily upon the stage. I rushed wildly to his sideband lifted the handsome dark head upon my knees. He was dead. He had broken a blood vessel, and death was almost instantaneous. Wo huriedhim, and the public never knew his strange story. Miss Gray still lives, a sad, heart-broken woman who mourns her lost love with a grief that even time cannot assuage. Yet, sad thousrh it is, does not poor Edgar Harding's late seem like retribution? Ah. me! "Of once sown seed, who hnowcth what the crop isi" TURNED OUT BAD.

I FABM AND HOUSEHOLD. PROTECTING YOUNG FRUIT TREES AGAINST RABBITS. Cheap and Available Materials for the Farpose ltarin; a Hrse A New Name (or .Terser .Sheep Shcarlas; and Household Helps. Frotectlns Yoaajj Frait Treat. Young orchards are often irrepar ably damaged by rabbits. When sorely pressed by hunger during tho winter, the snow covering up their accustomed food, ihoy will cat the bark on young trees. Owners of young orchards should take pains to prevent this, for there is nothing more disastrous to the life and fu ture usefulness of tho tree than to have the bark injured. The onlv ef fective way of preventing it, in places where rabbits are numerous, is to wrap something about the tree for a distance of two or three feet from the ground. It has been recom mended to cover the tree with somo wash which would bo distasteful to rabbits, but nothing of that nature which would not aiso work injury to the tree has as yet been found to de ter tho rabbits when hard pressed. A coating of fresh blood has. in somo cases, been used successfully, but this material cannot always be ob tained and it is too readily washed off. and the latter is true also of lime,gluu and similar substances. Tho nature , of the wrapping .a tcrial is of little consequence if it answers tho purpose, writes C. C Georgeson of the Kansas agricultural college. Straw or hay may bo wound into a rope which is wrapped about the tree from tho ground upward. In like manner cornstalks may be cut in lengths of about three feet, ar ranged about the trunk, and tied in place. Lath can be used for tho same purpose, and I boliove there is a patent wrapper mado of lath, tied together with wire. The cheapest grauo of muslin may be torn into strips and wrapped about the trunk. Hut perhaps the cheapest material is a. coarse grade of gray wrapping paper, such as is usually found in hardware stores. This paper is cheap and it lasts as long as it is wanted, that is, until the following spring. It can also be tied on very rapidly, which, in a large orchard, is nff inconsiderable item. Proouro sheets which aro two and one-half or three feet wide, tear them in piecos to suit tho thickness of the tree and securo it in place by three bands, one above, one below and ono in tho middle. A good quality of twine should be used to insure that it does not rot oil" too soon. Protection of this kind, including tho labor, does not need to cost moro than half a cent a tree, which is a small outlay to prevent damage to trees worth from $2 to $5 each or more. All sorts of fruit trees aro liable to be damaged by rabbits, and therefore all sorts should bo pro tected. This will bo interesting work for the boys in tho family on fine days in early winter. When spring arrives the bandagos should bo removed, as they will otherwise harbor insects destructive to tho trees, and at the same time all young trees which have been blown over by the wind should be straightened and tho earth tramped firmly about tho trunk. There is a peculiar satisfac- tion in watching the growth of a young orchard from year to year, and when well cared for it may yield the most remunerative crops of tho farm. Jt should not bo exposed to possible injury by neglecting to adopt ihis simple preventive. ISiiyiii; :i IIor-e. Fome one who has evident ly "been there and knows a thing or two," says: Don't buy a horse in harness. Un hitch him and take off everything but his halter and lead him around. If he has a corn or is stiff or has any other failing you can seo it. Let him go by himself a ways, and if ho staves right into anything you know he is blind No matter how clear and bright his eyes are he can't see any more than a bat. Back him. too. Some horses show their weakness or tricks in that way when they don't in any other. But be as smart as you can you'll get caught sometimes. Even an expert gets stuck. A horse may look ever so nice and go a great pace and yet have fits. There isn't a man who can tell it until some thing happens. Or he may havo a weak back. (Jive him tho whip and off ho goes for a mile or two, then all of a sudden he stops on the road. After a rest ho starts again, but soon he stops for good and nothing but a derrick can start him. Thc weak points of a horse can bo better discovered while standing than while moving. If he is sound he will stand firmly and squarely on his limbs without moving them, w- h legs plump and naturally poised; or if thc foot is taken from thc ground and the weight taken from it disease may be suspected, or at least tender ness, which is thc precursor of dis ease. If tho horse stands with his icet spread apart, or straddles with his hind legs, there is a weakness in his loins and his kidneys aro disor dered. Heavy pulling bends thc knees. Bluish, milky-cast eyes in horses indicato muon-blindness or something else. A bad-tempered ono keeps his ear. thrown back; a kick ing horse is apt to have scarred legs; a stumbling horse has blemished knees. Then thc skin is rough and harsh and does not move easily to tho touch; the horco is a heavy eater and digestion is bad. Never buy a horse whoso breathing organs aro at all impaired. Place your ear at tho heart and if a wheezing sound is heard it is an indication of trouble. --Journal of Agriculture. A X-r Name lor Jerveyj. The breed light of dairy cows at Chicago has shown that the Jersey can bo bred to produce a wonderfully large quantity of milk. Contrary to my expectations, and contrary to what I wished might have been tho result, the Jersey cow not only out milked the Guernsey, but the Short horn also. Somo Jersey men aro much pleased at tho result I am not; I would have been much better pleased if the Jersey had cfhno out third in quantity and still havo re mained first in pounds of butter, as she might have done.and as I believe she could be bred to do. I know I will bo met with the objection that the only way to 'increase the amount of butter is to increase the amount of milk. "You can't feed fat into the'j milk, you know." But I don't, I only know that that is a claim whose only foundation is that the contrary has not been scientifically proven. Not to say any more on that point there is another that, I think, no one will dispute, and that is, if 'fat can't be fed into milk, it can be bred into it The Jersey came to us a condensed milk , factory, we aro breeding her into a skim milk factory. We used to say, when twitted about the small mount of mUlc tho Jorsey gav. Yes, that's so, bet see how rich it isl" Now, wo (some of us) can say, Huh! Wo can beat you Shorthorn fellows now, and we're going for tho Holstcins." Wouldn't it be better to go in for a littlo condensation, both in the size of the Jorsey and the quantity of mils sho gives?

The one well-proven remedv fori all sorts of bark lice is keroseno oiL A practical method of using this in secticide is to preparo an emulsion by mixing one quart of soft soap or one-fourth pound of hard soap with two quarts of boiling water. When the soap -is dissolved and while still hot. one pint of kerosene oil is added, and the holo well stirred until thoroughly mixed. When used, ono part of this emulsion is mixed with twolvo parts of wator, and applied with a spraying apparatus. This is sufficiently strong when applied to tree3 still in foliage, which is not the best time for an immediate ef fectual destruction of the insects;, because much of tho mixture will bo oxpended on the leaves baforo reach ing tho bark. Trees badly ' affected should be cut back quite sovercly after the leaves fall, or as they are about to fall, and all small twigs aud minor branches removed or topped, so that tho surfaco to be sprayed will be reduced to the main liuibs, and thus easier reached. Tho following formula gives a stronger and moro efficacious wash: Two gallons of korosono, one-half pound of hard soap and one gallon of water. Heat the solution of soap and add it boiling hot to tho kero sene. Churn tho mixture by means of a force-pump and spray-nozzle for five or ten minutes. Dilute with nine parts of water. Another method of destroying bark lice is to cover tho affectod treo with lime-wash. Farmers Voice. Oil Meal process oil for rifrg. Old process oil meal mixed with wheat bran, or still better with wheat middlings, makes an excellent feed for pigs when they become too large to bo kept at the sow. Thoy will wean on this feed without the check of growth that always comos with weaned pigs unless liberal sup plies of tho best food aro given them. If somo milk can bo added it will be all the hotter. Waldo F. Brown writes that last spring he had nine teen pigs and but little milk, and that was all needed in the house and to rear a calf. He says: "I made a slop for the pigs with bran and oil meal, and never grew a thriftier lot of hogs, which were sold when 145 days old for top prices." Ono pound of old process oil meal stirred into ten quarts of boiling water will make a good mush. The wheat bran with it gives additional substance. It is food that is both nutritious and easily digested. American Cultiva tor. Sheep MioAriiigs. An old or sick sheep is poor prop erty. Not every sheep owner is a shop herd. A young flock, well fed, needs no nurse. The time to raiso a sheep is when it is a lamb. Nursing sheep is doing your work at the wrong end. Poor fed and then poor shcop, no matter what thc breed. A successful shepherd must work his head and hands in unison. "Grub in the belly" is a good pre ventative for "grub in the head." Thc sheep that loses the growth of its first year loses tho thrift of its life. The flock so handled is an animal machine run by nature for man's profit. Sheep produce four crops, viz.: mutton, wool, lamb', manure, and destroy weeds. A poverty stricken ewo refusos to raiso her lamb because sho can barely raise herself. In England the mutton breeds are fed succulent foods in winter. They should havo such foods in America. While tho owner sleeps the flock feeds and grows. They are like money at interest they mako a largo roturn. The better tho quality of tho mut ton the higher price it will bring, and mutton is about all there is to the sheep these days. Tho mutton breeds must be fed well on good feed, and they should have a variety. They will not do well on as littlo or rough feed as the Merino will It is said that there are 7,000,003 dogs in the United States, and it is suggested that to keep them from killing sheep or other mischief, every one of them bo put to work of somo kind. Good idea. Tho lazy dog and tho lazy bull have a fine time of it. Household Hints. Bread crumbs cleanse silk gowns. Gloves can be cleaned at homo by rubbing with gasoline. Corks warmed in oil mako excellent substitutes for glass stoppers. Tooth nowder is an excellent cleanser of lino filigreo jewelry. Scallop tho edge of an old badly frayed skirt, working in buttonhole stitch with white darning cotton. Buttonhole tho edgo of blankets, whose binding is worn, with Scotch yarn, in color to match the border. Hard putty may be easily softened by passing a red-hot flat piece of iron over it, so that it can then bo re moved with the fingers, or tho edge of a knife. To remove odors from a sick room, it is a good plan to sprinkle coarso i ground coffee on a shovelful of burn ing coals, and thrust it into all the corners of the room. Bleach willow furniture, after washing in warm suds, by setting in a box without drying, putting a small dish of burning sulphur inside, and covering the box for half an hour. Some one has said that a diet of oatmeal and brown bread tends to promote tho growth of tho hair. However this may be, the diet is a good one for many moro assured reasons. To perfume bureau drawers rose satchets are most desirable. They may be mado of cheese cloth or any thin material, in cream or white, tied with narrow, bright ribbons, or col ors in harmony with the toilet dra peries can be chosen. In size the satchets should not exceed six inches in length and four in width. Fill them with petals freshly gathered. as euch a small quantity will not need drying, the air circulating freely through and around them. They may be refilled several times during the season. It is much better to en close the leaves in this way than to scatter them loosely through the drawers, as is frequently done, for when they wither and dry up the re sult' Is not pleasing. THE HIGHEST AWARD. Koyal BaJdas Powder has all the Hoaors la Streasthaad Value SO per ccnt.aboTe Its Nearest Competitor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined wherever exhibited in competition with others. The result at the Chicago World's Fair is no exception. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the var ous State and Industrial fairs, where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Koyal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World's Fair the exam inations for the baking powder awards were directed by the chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Wash ington. The chief chemist's o.'licial re port of the test of the baking powders, which was made for the specific pur pose of ascertaining which was the best, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 1G0 cubic inches of car bonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhib ited, the next highest in strength test ed contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The other powders gave au average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, how ever, in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesome ness, could not be measured by figures. it is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have causeu the sales of the Koyal Baking i'owtlcr, as shown by statistics, to ex ceed the tale of all other baking pow ders combine:!. Prevention of Poisoning. Every now and then a coroner's in quest has to be held on the body of some unfortunate individual who has swallowed the contents .of a bottle' which was intended for external use only. Such mishaps are impossible in I uermanv. where the law requires the druggists to put up all medicines and drugs in round bottles, and all lotions for external use, in ribbed or hexagonal bottles. Hence, any one cant?ll for a certainty, even in the dark and even if lie cannot read a word, whether the bottle he takes contains medicine or something to be applied externally only. Some druggists in this and other coun tries adopt some such classification, but the absence of any Enactment making it obligatory takes away from the de vice or prescription almost its entire merit If the legislature were to es tablish the rule, no inconvenience would be caused any one. and the lia bility of fatal mistakes would be great ly reduced.

An amusing example of this sort is related by a country ex change. A farmer's boy went to the city, find ing the work at home rather tiresome, and obtained a situation in a large "family supply" store, wherea "rushing business" was carried on. He "took hold" very well, and his employers liked him. They were surprised however, when he came to them, before he had been two months in the store, and said: "Well, Mr. A , I guess I'll have to get through here next Saturday night." "Get through?" said his employer. Why, what's going wrong?" t "Oh, nothing particular." ' "Aren't you treated well?" Jf "First rate, but I'll tell yo5ust how it strikes me.
