OCTOR Walker sat
alone in his office
at the Orthopedic
hospital one dark
storm y night.
Outside, the wind
and rain were
having' it all their own way. I
swept around the huge buililii

mad fchrieks, like a score of fiends let
loose to riot and rejoice in the misery
of suffering human souls. The rain
came down in wild f?usts, dashing it
self impudently into the faces of the
few chance pedestrians, and forcing
thof.e obliged to be abroad to turn
resolute faces homewjird. Ah! Heaven
be merciful to the wretch who had no
home that night!
Within the hospital dead sileaca
reijrned. The patients were supposed
to be disposed for the night, and lights
were out, only in the wards where
the sufferers were so dangerously ill
that the watchers by their bedsides sat
waiting with patient outward com
posure for the approaching end.
Doctor Walker he was familiarly
known throughout the institution as
'Doctor Will" satporingover a huge
volume upon the table before him, and
striving to concentrate his thoughts
unon its contents. But he seemed ouU
of sorts to-night; he seemed restless
and uneasj. A noble, manly face,
with handsome features and kindly
blue eyes. His upper lip was shaded
by a drooping mustache, which it was
his habit, when perplexed or annoyed,
to bite furiouslj'. Altogether, Doctor
Will Walker was a man to attract, to
invite confidence; an ideal character
for a physician. For all physicians,
especially where nervous diseases are
a special ty, should possess this attrac
tion to the patients.
"I wonder what ails me to-night?" j
he exclaimed half aloud, closing the i

book at last,and ptislnn"; it aside with
a wearv crcsturc. "Somehow I cannot i
study, or find interest in nvy work.
ZS'ow, if I were like some of my inter
esting nervous patients, I would say
that I feel as if something was going
to happen? Hah! what folly in a
strong man to allow his nerves to af
fect his whole life. One must exert
will-power and
"Ah! what is it? Did you speak to
me. Kate?"
For there at the half open door of
the office. Doctor Will's quick glance
had detected one of the n'ght nurses
a pleasant faced, kindty-looking
woman who had been long attached
to the hospital. She stepped to the
threshold, and threw the door open.
"Yes. doctor, I wanted to tell you
that there is a new patient in the re
ception room. A young man who has
been brought here in a cab. His arm
is broken, I think. The driver said
the young man hailed the cab abont
an hour ago, on (Jreen street, and said
he had broken his arm, and wished to
be taken to friends at the other end
of the city. The driver drove the
young man to the street and number
designated, but there was no one
there. The house was quite empty,
and a policeman, near, said that the
family had gone to Kurope. At that
the young man uttered a cry of disap
pointment which the cab-driver j-aid
made his own heart ache: and then he
reeled unsteadily and nearly fell to
the ground. 1 tut the driver ami po
liceman together placed him in the
cab. and he was taken here, as it hap
pened to be only a few blocks away.
i;y this time Doctor Will had fol
lowed Kate into the reception-room,
where a slight form in a neat gray
suit lay upon a sofa, quite uncon
scious. The doctor dispatched the nurse for
his surgical instruments and soon had
re i oved the stranger's coat and rolled
up the sleeves of the snowy under
garments, soft and fine. The face
upon the sofa pillow was delicate and
refined: a face with perfect features:
the long. darK eyelashes sweeping the
while cheeks, the soft, dark hair curl
ing slightlj-. brushed awav from a
b-oad, low brow. The interesting
patient eouid not have bien more
than seventeen. No trace of beard or
moustache darkened the soft, fair
skin. He looked as helpless as a child
lying theie before the keen, searching
eyes of th" young physician. Some
thing a strange sensation which
Doctor Will did not stop to analyze
moved his heart as he touched the
round white arm. and prepared to ex
examiiie the injuries.
Compound fr.cture!" he muttered
coneirs dy. Com here Kate! You
will have to assist me! "
"Dear me!"' ejaculated the nurse,
bending over the slim, graceful form,
he's as delicate as a gir'. Look! See
the blue veins in h s arm. Poor
voting chap. He has to suffer yet,
before that arm will lv well."
A little later, his injuries attended
to, the strange patient was placed in
bed He had recovered consciousness,
and opened a pair of great, dark,
beautiful eyes to meet Dr. Will's sym
pathetic gaze.
"Where am I?" faltered the patient.
"In the Orthopedic hospital, sir.
You have broken your arm and were
broughtjiere by a cab driver. You
are perfectly safe here. Tell me yonr
name and where shall I send for your
friends?"
"My name," a slight hesitation, "is
Halton Parke Halton. My friends?
Ah! I have none! I I went to the
house of old friends they have gone
to Europe, I have not been here long!
I have no place to go. Hut I have
money."
"Don't trouble yourself, Mr. Halton.
You are all right here. The wards
are full, and I have had you placed in
a private room."
"Thauk you! I am able to pay for
it. You will get me well as soon as
possible doctor " with a slight in
terrogation. "1 am Doctor William Walker of
this hospital. ! shall do all in my
power for you. It is nothing danger
ons, inv dear sir: only you must have
rest. Now I will give you a sleeping
potion, and hope to find 3011 better in
the morning."
Parke Halton drank the sleeping
draught, and almost immediately fell
asleep.
Doctor Will sat watching the pale,
beautiful face upon the pillow before
lit in with an odd sensation struggling

; One nitrht Kate, the nijrht nurse,
' was startled by the sound of faint sob- ,
bing and stifled weeping which seemed .
to come from the end of the long cor- !
ridor near the sleeping room of Dr. '
' Will. She hastened sof tlv to the spot,
determined to know what was the
matter. This is what she saw: '
Tarke Halton en his knees at the
door of the doctor's "room, weeping
bitterly.
Directly, the young man arose to
l his feet, and entered the room, for the
physicians' room was never ioeked,but
always ready for a hasty summons in
the night.
In speechless amazement Kate no
ticed the young patient steal softly to
the bedside, and stooping, press a kiss

Halton fell back with 's stifled cry.
"Explain yorarsclf, ar," began the
nurse. "Your conduct is ratheHhin
usual." A sudden resolution seemed to cone
into the younj man's mmd.
"Come to my rtVom." he said, ifci a
hurried -whisper, ".Vnd I will tell yon
all I havft a confession to make!"
The next uiomin.T when Doctor Will
awoke from his slumbers he found
upon his bed a smalt, locket 'contain
ing the pictured fatte of a girl. It
was the exact counterpart of Parke
Halton. Wheu he lirft his room he
was met by Kate, who announced that
the young man was i?tme. She had
found his bed empty that morning,
and a sum of money sufficient to more
than cover his expenses at the hospi
tal lying upon the tabl.J. But what
ever" the secret confided to Kate she
kept it inviolate, j Docti r Will's face
clouded, and a troubled look crept
into his ejea. After that, he became
very quiet and taciturn, and alto
gether a changed. man. .
One da' he received a ttnmraons to
an up-town mansion; its owner lay
dying stricken down by a. swift and
sudden disease. Arrived .l his bed
side, Doctor Will saw at oucje that it
was too late to save him; his hours
were numbered.
"I liave something to tell, you," the
dying man said, feebly. "Bee that no
one is near. Wait, I wish to send for
my ward, Leoline Lea."
A message was dispatcher1, and in a
few uiomeots a young girl entered the
room. At sight of her, the blood re
ceded from Doctor Will's Iieart, and
he felt as though he was going to
faint For it was the ffcee in the
locket, which Doctor Will even then
wore over his heart, and tlie fac-simile-of
Parke Halton. Stifling an excla
mation, the girl sank into a scat
The dying man began:
"I was guardian over Leoline Lea's
property. She was very rich; but I
have squandered her estate; lam dying
now. I loved her and I determined
to make her my wife; thus I need
never render an account of the wasted
fortune. I perset-ated her for a year
to gain her consent. She would soon
be 21 and out of my power, and then I
"UK IlAHCn MK, IlKSl'ISKD -MI-
would be forced to give an account of
her squandered fortune. I was half
wild lest I be discovered and punished.
I did all in my power to force her into
marriage with me. She hated me,
despised me, scorned me.
"At last, tired of her defiance, I
locked Ins- in her own room up stairs
in this house, and decided to starve
her into obedience to my wishes.
"To my consternation the girl es
caped from her pr son. She knotted
the blankets together and made a rope
by which she managed to effect her
escape.
"She was gone several weeks. I
was haif distracted ovor her absence,
for she was as ignorant of the world
as a littJc child. Had she not been,
she would luive known that tine law
gives noguartlian the right to deprive
his ward of liberty.
"On her twenty-first birth-day, how
ever, she reappeared and demanded
the restitution of her fortune. Hut
she would give no account of her
whereabouts during her abse'iacc from
my house until to-day. when she de
clared that she had found refuge in

Doctor Will's blue eyes met the
frightened gaze of Leoline's dark
ones; thev droo ed. How could he
answer that question? She arose to
her feet.
Yes. Doctor Walkitr has met me
before. I am Parke Halton " Her
face was ghastly white now, and she
trembled perceptibly. "I was very
ignorant of the world's ways, as my
guardian acknowledges u friendless
orphan or I would long ago have ap
pealed to the law for protection from
his persecutions. Jn the wardrobe of
the room where I was imprisoned I
found a suit of men's clothing; I man
aged to alter them so that I could
wear them; and. knotting blankets
and sheets together, finally escaped
from the window, breaking ray arm
in my flight. I had hoped to find
refuge until my twenty-first birthday
with soaie acquaintances at the farther
cud of the city, but when 1 reached
the house it was closed and the family
gone to Europe.
"I was in terrible pain with my
broken arm, and that, 'with the disap
pointment, overcame mc, and I fainted,
and was taken to the hospital. You
know the rest, doctor. Can you ever
forgive my unwomanty conduct?"
Doctor Will took both little hands
in his own, and led her from the
room.
"1 know this." he said, in a low,
tender tone, "that I love you as man
never loved woman before. Will you
be my wife, Leoline?"
Her eyes drooped before his passion

"I have loved you ever since nry
eyes first opened from that swoon in

Feeding Wheat to Anlntal.
There is probably no agricultural
question that comes home so directly
to the farmer to-day as that of feed
ing wheat to stock or poultry. Will
it pay to raise wheat and feed it to
animals or poultry? With wheat at
fifty cents per bushol, it is almost im
possible for many farmers to make a
fair profit from this industry, although
in favored parts of the West and
Northwest the large farmers claim
that even at this price they can
make a profit But this is not true
ot thousands of others scattered
throughout the East and West. Un
doubtedly the last season has been an
exceptional one, and prices are lower
than they will he for many years
again.
But tho present low prices for the
grain are having their beneficial re
sults, says the American Cultivator.
Many farmers are feeding their sur
plus wheat to stock and to poultry,
who at other times could not havo
been induced to attempt this. They
are learning "by actual experience
what nothing else could have taught
them. As an illustration, one farmer
this summer fed his wheat to the
poultry, and he is so well pleased
with the experiment that ho asserts
that not seventy cents a bushel would
induce him to sell it in tho market
another year. Ho would feed it to
his poultry, for by so doing he real
izes at tho lowest estimate $1 per
bushel in the summer time. Ho now
intends to try the same experiment
this winter, and he anticipates mak
ing tho wheat pay him nearly $2 per
bushel.
Another poultry raiser has even
deigned to buy the wheat direct from
his neighbors at the city market
prices simply to feed his poultry and
tho results aro fogoou that he has
now laid in a stock of wheat for
winter feeding instead of his usual
rations. The fact is, there is no bet
ter food for making, the hens lay
than wheat, and this may yet be the
food that we will give to our poultry.
It also answers the purpose better
than the best screened oats.
Then we have other farmers feed
ing their wheat to swine, and here,
too, the results are satisfactory.
Hogs arc high this year, and the
profit is certainly sure to he good.
It will return $1 per bushel to the
owner to-day when fed to hogs, and
this is much better than selling it in
the. market at current prices. It is
estimated that two quarts of wheat
equals in feeding value four quarts
of oats, and the stock, as a-rule, like
the wheat better.
Now, here is an outlet for wheat
that has never been given much at
tention, and one need not fear that
wheat growers will have to go out of
the business. Within a short time
poultry raisers and stock owners are
going to buy more wheat for feed,
and all of the surplus will go in, this
direction, relieving the markets of
the heavy stocks. The market
prices will constantly advance, and
those who must have the reaay cash
for their wheat will be benefited in
the long run also. Farmers should
feed wheat rather than sell it at
to-day's prices.
Cluirnlii" by !;; rower
Outside of creamery localities
there is a vast amount of butter
churned by hand. Taking the coun
try over, forty-live minutes for each
churning is consumed in turning the
crank. The women or children havo
to do this, for the. lord of the house
has other work for the hired man
and dislikes the task himself. The
dairy editor of the Orange Judd
Farmer tells how he relieves the
women folks of churning. He says:
Now I don't want to breed discord in
the family but when the wife or
mother is losing half an hour to an
hour and a quarter every churning
day, something is wrong. If aairy
ing is followed enough to make it
pay, she must churn at least three
times a week. To lequire this is
outrageous. Why should a lazy dog
stretch himself idly in the sun while
a delicate woman wearily drudges at
the churn? A dog power
does not cost much. One hog
will pay for it. The wife
has the time left for wifely duticr-
time saved by making the dog pay
his board. If you churn at home,
have a churning room. The tread
power should stand out side. Con
nect the power and churn by means
of a light shaft. As I write this tho
churn is running as steadily as if
propelled by steam; the flop, flop of
the cream is as regular as a clock
beat. The dog is outside attending
strictly to business. He once learned
to shirk, and when he thought he
ha 1 labored long enough for proper
ly managed cream to be churned he
would hang back and stop tho churn.
He don't do that now. It is not that
his conscience pricks him, but that
something else does if ho attempts
it A dog's conscience is better than
an average policeman's, but it is not
equal to all demands. It sometimes
needs stirring up. A thin wooden
strip with shingle nails drivon '
through, the points projecting, is a
perfect "regulator." Put it across
the power behind the dog so his
heels will touch it should he hang
back and you will find him as "dili
gent in business" there after as the
man whom Solomon considered as
fit. to stand before kings.
Put the cream into the churn.
Then put the dog into the power,
and work commences and goes on
until finished. The dog may dislike
the work, but will do it. and is none
the worse for it. Feed him imme
diately after his work. He accepts
it a a legitimate compensation and
enjoys it. Our experience has been
such that the dog power is strongly
recommended for churning where
creameries are not convenient. There
arc plenty of good creameries here,
and the dairy editor churns, not be
cause he is forced to, but for tho
benefit of his readers who are
obliged to churn and want the best
and most economical way. Luckily
there is no money lost in the work
as I get as much profit from the
milk as the best of the creameries
give their patrons.
Good Vie of Straw.
I have a large yard to the souh of
the barn and into it goes all the
straw from lorty acres of wheat,
stacked just as well as six men can
do it I stable all my stock and bed
them to the knees every- day from
the time frosty nig its begin until
warm weather in spring. Some may
object to this on account of the work;
but I don't After February, if I see
that all the straw can't be got
through the stable by bedding and
feeding, I begin to cut off some aad
spread a layer over the yard as often
as tho stock have trampled the pre
vious one. I turn my cattle out on
nice days and feed fodder in the
yard. In addition to tho straw from
forty acres of wheat, wo cut twenty
to twenty-five acres of corn and all
of it goes into tho barnyard. I sell
no hay but buy four to six tons oach
year. I keep twelve cows, about
eighteen sheep, six hor.-os and two
to twelve hogs, and if these animals
are kept well bedded and if tho
stables are regularly cleaned each day
there will be no straw for mulching
wheat unless a man is a heavier
wheat raiser than I am.
1 make over 200 loads of manuro
per year by this system, and believo
they will average JJ,000 pounds each.
I use all that can be profitably util
ized for top-dressing wheat ground,
harrowing it in as it is spread. We
scatter it off the wagon, nover piling
up in the field. All too rough for
top dressing is taken to the clover
field and spread whero it is most
needed. It is put out tho last thing
after the wheat ground is plowed
generally about tho middle of Au
gust I have followed this system
for sevon years on this farm. A poor
spot due to lack of fertility in the
soil cannot be found. I don't think
there is any uso in spotting fields. By
my system I can keep my land up
without buying commercial fertil
izers, so that I raise fifty to sixty
bushels of corn, and twenty to twenty-five
bushols of wheat per acre and
plenty of clover. Farmer's Record.
Home-Made Corn Cnttln-r Miic!iiib.
A correspondent tells how he
makes a corn cutting machine. He
takes a 2xG scantling twelve feet long,
makes a sled six feet long; makes the
sled narrow enough to go between
the rows; fastens tho knife on tho
right hand side of the sled. Take a
board two inches wide and five feet
long and sharpen ono end; the other
end fasten to tho back end of the
sled. Fasten this board slanting
enough so the sharpened end will
project about fifteen inches from the
side of the front end; this is to catch
up the corn that may bo down, by
taking a small limber pole and
fastening it to this board near the
end that is sharp and then putting a

but it is a mistake to suppose that
animal food, except such as fowls
running at large will pick up, is
necessary to produce them. The

this is main'y nitrogenous. Hut only

it is not more so than is the whole

the lime required for the egs shell.
Peas are excellent food for making
eggs and so, too. would beans be if
fowls could be induced to eat them.
Thc?c grains may be supplemented
with chopped clover, which contains
much eg:; material and is excellent
for keeping fowls in good health.
Horticultural Hints.
Straw is cheap and makes a good
protection for the young trees against
rabbits.
Trees should not be planted any
deeper than they grew in the
nursery.
Spring is tho best time to plant
outdoor roses. It is also the time to
prune roses.
By gathering up and burning all
primings a great many insects will
be destroyed.
All branches infested with cater
pillars should be cut off and biirnol
during the winter.
Horticulture is a good field for the
1 poor man, tor it noes not tiiKu as
many acres as for farming.
It is a poor kind of business to set
out young trees and then through
neglect allow the rabbits to ruin
them.
Do not water huiiac plants too
often. When the pot is dry thor
oughly saturate the soil and water
in the morning.
Growing the white bean is usually
profitable. The quantity of heans
used in this country is very large
and constantly growing.
The Concord grape, to name no
ether, is so easily grown that every
farmer should grow his own graces.
Set a few vines next spring
Flowers have a softening and re
fining influence, and children should
be allowed to come in conta t with
them much as possible in the home.
If you have a good quality of fruit
and also inferior stuff, nevet mix
them for sale. Sell the No. 1 and
No. '2 separately. The inferior lot
will look larger and nicer by not be

The most delicate way to boil an

and allow it to remain, without
boiling, for ten minut.'s. It will b.j

If it is necessary to bathe in hard

a jug of molasses, and went down to
the kitchen. Pretty soon she heard the

"Why is it, Grctchcn, that you bring

Why have you brought me no pan

A Barled Perfume.
A box was recently found amidst the
ruins of 1'ompeii. The box was of
marble or alabaster, about two inches
square, and closely sealed. When
opened it was found to be full of a sort
of pomatum or grease, hard, but very
fragrant The smell resembled that of
roses, l)Ut Was milCll more fragrant.
What the perfume was made of cannot
be conjectured now, but it is singular

of the house of representatives who

years that Jaffa oranges have obtained
a world-wide reputation, for but some
eighteen years since they were scarcely
known save at lJcyrout, Alexandria
and Constantinople. A special feature
of the Jaffa orange is that it will keep
thirty- or forty days, and if properly
packed for two and sometimes even
three months. The port of Jaffa issur
rounded on the land side by orange
groves, covering an area of 1.TS0 acres,
New orange groves are constantly be
itur planted, and there are now double
as many as there were fifteen years
ago. Kach orange garden contains
about 0 in square feet of planted area,
equal to alout 1.3)1) trees to two and
one-half acres. The trees begin to
bear the fourth year after planting,
but it is estimated that it takes seven
and sometimes eight years before an
orange orchard yields a paying crop.

continually, and this irrigation is tho
