• ■■ —— —— — — CHAPTER XVII. The next day brought the new* of Captain Ilene’a death. and a* she wept in Borrow for her friend** sudd* n laTi’Uvement, Jane eould, without suspicion, indulge her own heart’s grief. The funeral in accordance with the wish that had bon generally express* d. Kook place at Alipore; and Jane, standing at the windoe, watched the procession pass, through a mist of sympathetic ‘ MIS. , Jane bad written a few lines to Airs. Dene, not attempting to condole with her, but only to tell her how she felt for her •otrow; and a few days after the funeral •he received a note begging her to go and see her. The meet inc was naturally a painful one, both MBietnbering how and where they had been last together, but the widow was the more composed of the two, and could but see that something else was grieving Jane In side simple grief for her. “You have 10-en in trouble yourself, Jane; can’t you tell me what it is’/" And only too glad to pour out all her woes into such a sympathetic ear, Jane told the whole story. “But. Jenny," Mrs. Dene said, tenderly, “yon knew of this when we were at .Cawnpore together, yet it did not seem to grieve you then.” “I scarcely realised it," sobbed Jane. “And something since has opened your eyes to what it is you stand committed to?” Jane bowed her head. "May I guess what it is?” whispered Mrs. Dene. “You love some one now. tnd know what you are giving up—am T ight, Jenny?" Again Jane bowed her head—this time to hide the vivid blushes whieh suffused her face. “And does he love you?” “Perhaps; 1 thought so, and yet—yet ” ; She broke down in utter confusion. She could not explain what she thought even to the friend she loved so well. Mrs. Dene remained for awhile in pussled silence: she wanted to help the girl, but could not tell how. “I do not wish to force your confidence,” •he said at length; "but something was told me once, and I was wondering whether I ought to tell it to you.” “Not anything against Jacob Lynn?” sharply. “My dear, how should 1 know anything about him?" with a little gentle scorn that showed Jane perhaps more clearly than anything else could what a gulf .would divide her from all her new friends should she marry the man to whom she was betrothed. “I beg your pardon," she said, humbly. Mrs. Dene went on as though nothing had occurred to interrupt “I certainly should have let it roach you through -through the proper channel, only that now the knowledge of it might Influence your decision, and otherwise it might come too late; 1 don’t know if you are ambitious, Jane, but. if you liked, you might some day be Lady Larroumore!” “Lady Larronmorc!” echoed the girl, surprised, for the name conveyed nothing to her mind. “It is the title to which Major Larron will succeed: and he wishes—l know, for he told me to win you as his wife.” “Me!” said Jane, opened-eyed and breathless. “Yes, you." answered Mrs. Dene, with a faint smile that showed how sad the expression of her lips had been before. “You are quite a heroine of romance, Jenny; surely no woman hnd ever such a choice of positions. You might be a queen of society, or ” She stopped a little awkwardly. “Or a soldier’s wife in barracks,” concluded Jane, quietly. “I have no right to ask you if you care for Major Larron,” went on Mrs. Dene. “I only thought you ought to know he cared for you.” “It has made no difference,” said June; “but I thank you all the same for the Intended kindness. No, I don’t even like Major Larron; and I dare say he has changed his mind, too, since he spoke to you, for he has never said a word 1 could construe into anything of the sort.” To Mrs. Dene it was evident that the girl had spoken the truth, yet who could It be that she loved and was thinking about now, if her blushes were to be believed? Not Valentine Graeme surely—he was too young, too frivolous to inspire such a tender passion; nor Colonel Prinsep—why. how blind she had been; of course, it must be he! Lately her thoughts had been so much with herself and her own affairs, thut she had forgotten the fancy which Jane hnd always so artlessly shown for the eligible bachelor colonel. Now it returned to her in full force, ami she understood that the fancy had become a love ns ardent as it tjfas 111-advised—what she had always feared for her protege hnd unhappilx come to pass, for that Stephen Prinsi* returned the girl's affection she could not credit. "My poor child, it is all very bard on you.” she said, presently, thinking that, now she knew all, she could understand the struggle that was going on in Jane’s mind between a hopeless love and an engagement that promised to be more hopeless still. “It is very hard,” sighed Jane. “My mother is, of course, against my marrying back into the position which she thought we had left behind us forever; and even my father, I think, is disappointed, though he is so good he will not say so. Yet I know I nm right. Ydu think so, too. don't you?” longing for some one to uphold her in her resolution. Mrs. Dene hesitated, afraid of giving her the wrong advice.

-AI " ' "If yon loved him," she answered at Inst, "I should counsel you to hold to your word at all hazards." “I do not love him," replied Jnno, in a low, ashamed voice, feeling that it wan the saddest confession she could make, for was he not the man that she wu* pledged to marry? “Then do not marry him, Jenny." "You forget that he loves me, and though it must have l>eeu in momentnry madness. I promised of iny own free will. If he hnd Iwen rieh or in a good position, I might not have felt so bound; but hr is poor and almost friendless, lie has nothing but me.” "Perhaps you are right. I only hope it will turn out to bo the best: but I shall not l>e here to see how it ends. lam going away to-morrow." Then they said "good-by,” and Jane was soon on her homeward road, thinking over all that had occurred. Some one overtook her as she walked, and looking up she saw it was Major Larron. She gave her hand to him with a somewhat nervous smile, relapsing at once into unnatural gravity as be clasped it closely in his own. "I am very glad we have met,” he said, earnestly. "I began to think it must be decreed we should never meet again." “That was hardly likely in a small place like Alipore,” she answered, brusquely. She felt it incumbent on her to avoid a silence, which might give him the opportunity of saying what she did not wish to hear. “It is in these small places where one is most likely to miss one's friends. I have been looking for you everywhere for the last week.” “I have not been out much lately. Just now I have been saying good-by to Mrs. Dene.” “She is leaving here?” “Yes. She goes with her father to Hattiabad to-morrow." "What. Mr. Molnet? Is he here?” He looked positively angry when Jane assented. He had not seen Nora Dene's father for more than a year now. and the last time they had met, be had been obliged to listen to plainer truths than he exactly relished; another such meeting was therefore decidedly to be avoided. Jane, stealing a furtive glance into his face, saw that something had disturbed him, and was relieved that bis thoughts were evidently withdrawn from her. Just then he turned and caught her criticising glance. “You have been playing cricket?” she stammered, blushing. "No, tennis. I had the honor of playing with Miss Knollys.” “What is she like?” asked Jane, eagerly, for she. as well as every one in Alipore, was full of curiosity as to the appearance of the commissioner’s daughter, who had only arrived from England two days ago. “I scarcely noticed her; but I believe she is handsome. It is to be hoped so, since, I suppose, she is brought out with the intention of being sold to the highest bidder.” “How can you say such things?” cried Jane, indignantly. “Is it not true —or is it because of its truth you think it ought to be suppressed?” he questioned, cynically. “For neither of those reasons.” "Then why? Don’t all men marry those who ean offer the biggest settlements?” b persisted, looking keenly into her face. CHAPTER XVIII. In spite of the Hon. Barry Larron’s somewhat deprecating description, Diana Knoylls was very handsome, and might have been more so had her manner been less in accordance with her apiwarance. She was a little above the medium woman’s height, and her figure, neither very slim nor girlish, had the graceful languor whieh characterises those of i Southern birth. Her eyes were large, and I of a gray so dark as to be almost black, and all the color in her face seemed centered in her small scarlet-lipped mouth. Iler dark hair was gathered high upon her head in a somewhat uncommon fashion that added to her height, and gave a certain queenliness to her presence. Yet It was her haughty demeanor that robbed her beauty of half its charm. She vas cold as an icicle, and her voice, though musical and clear, had a metallic ring in it that grated on the ear. She was just twenty-five, not too young, she thought herself, and determined, pleasant as was her present position, to obtain as soon as possible a more assured one. Before she came out from England she had studied the nrmy list to see what regiment was stationed at Alipore, and lifter consulting Burke us well, had come to the conclusion that the Hon. Barry Larron was the most eligible bachelor in the station: and that after him came Colonel Prinsep, who, though he had no title, nor any very probable claim to one, hnd a large income and a beautiful estate in Herefordshire. Either of these would be a desirable match. She hnd been there nearly a week, when she decided that to give eclat to her debut, her father should give a dance to introduce her to his friends; and having settled this in her own mind, she went at uuee to consult him upon the subject. Jane did not get an invitation. Indeed, she never expected it, ami would have refused it even had it come. But still she felt the slight. She was so young, nnd her one short glimpse of gayety had been so sweet that she felt it hard to be left out in the cold. And her mother wns indignant. Stephen Prinsep, on the contrary, was glad that Jane was not there. His sole idea was to put away the remembrance of that one sweet hope, which from its very brevity had seemed the dearer. Yet hnd it been her loss only which he had had to deplore, there would have been nothing to rankle so in his mind. Had she refused his love because she could not love him, he was too manly to have wasted his life in vain regrets; even had she died he would not have sorrowed ns one without hope. But to his short dream had

come aneh n Mtter, humiliating awaking that M wonder he fell dlsaatlafled and aad. He loved her so well, perhaps even •ho Io vis I him; yrl neither fact had th« power to prevent her marriage with one Immensely his inferior, who would, if there was anything in the theory propounded by the author of "Ixa-kaley Hall,” drug her down to his level. He was not thinking of that then. He wns watching the commissioner's daughter, and acknowledging her good loaka - was wondering whether he could net by any means full In love with her, and M banish from hla memory the unwise passion he had contracted for Jans Knox. For tho better furtherance of thia plan, he hnd attached himself to Miss Knollys early in the evening, nnd scarcely left her side, while she, nothing loath, only too graciously accepted his attentions. It pleased her that people should notice his apparent devotion nnd draw the inevitable conclusion. Even if she never married him and she would not if a better match offered it was a distinction to have anch a ninn as Colonel Prinsep in her train, such a distinguished soldier, such a declaredly eligible parti. Her eyes grew bright with triumph, and she held her head very proudly, when, though the small hours were approaching, and many of tho guests were gone, he still lingered at her side. Out beneath the quiet stars he could think and almost forgot that he had a companion, but presently a well known name falling upon bis car aroused him from the reverie into whieh he had fallen, and he felt the necessity of returning something more than the mechanical assents which he had given to each of her remarks. "It has been a success, has it not, Colonel Prinsep, in spite of the heat? And only yesterday I was gravely assured that, if I did not ask the quartermaster's daughter, I must expect a failure. They told mo she was quite the station belle, and a tremendous favorite in your regiment.” "A favorite in the regiment—-is she?” ho repeated, awkwardly. “You mean that she is not," she observed. smiling. "Well, for my part. I i think It is quite a mistake to notice people of that sort. It only makes them fi-el uncomfortable and out of place.” A vision rose before his mind’s eye. As plainly as though she were in reality before him, he saw Jane as he had seen her on the night of the ball at Cawnpore. He saw her gauzy garments, all of snowy white save for the fluttering straw-col-ored ribbons that seemed to have fluttered themselves into his brain and wrought there irremediable confusion. He could almost fancy that the scent of the tearoses she had worn then was wafted now across his face, but looking down at his companion, he saw that she, too, wore some in her belt. “Don't you think so?” she persisted, as she met his glance. “I dare say; I am not very well up in these social questions. Have you ever met Miss Knox?" "I? Oh, no! I have never even seen her.” “I think you will like her when you do meet. She is very sweet, and graceful, and womanly—l don’t suppose more than that is required in the very highest circles,” said Stephen Prinsep, with the slightest suspicion of sarcasm. Miss Knollys assented immediately; but to herself decided that Colonel Prinsep was neither so gentlemanly nor so nice as she bad at first supposed. She concluded he was getting bored; and knowing that nothing was more fatal to her chances of success, proposed they should go back to the drawing-room. (To be continued.) A Russian Story. Mr. Barry, in his work on Russia in 1870, tells a story of the time when slavery was an Institution In the coun- I try. A certain ironmaster caused a man who had offended him to be locked up in an Iron cage, and kept him confined In it for a length of time. At last, while he was absent on a Journey, the case of his wretched prisoner came to the knowledge of the governor of the province. The governor causd the man, cage and all, to be brought to the government town, and invited the tyrannical Ironmaster to dinner. After the dinner was over, the governor sent for a quail in a wooden cage, and offered to sell it to his guest for ten thousand roubles. The offer being treated as a joke, the governor said he had a more valuable bird to sell, and told his servants to bring It In. Folding doors flew open, and the iron cage with its miserable captive was set down before the astonished guest. "Now," said the governor, “what do you think of that for a quail? But this is a very expensive bird; I want 20.000 roubles for him.” “All right," said the alarmed proprietor, "I will buy this one; send him down to my works without the cage, and your messenger shall bring back the amount.” The matter was thus pleasantly settled, and the company adjourned In undisturbed harmony to their paplrosses and coffee. A Book Warning. Bo careful what you write in your books, if you do not want your heirs or administrators to make unkind remarks about you. An old book chaser. Just home from Chicago, relates an Instance In which trouble was created by a man who thoughtlessly marked his collection of books in a peculiar manner. He owned a large library, and. as he had probably suffered from borrowers and purlolners, he stamped with indelible Ink on the one hundredth page of every volume on his shelves: “Stolen from George E. Hord." In due lime death and the mutations of fortune brought this library to the hammer and the second-hand shops; but, owing to the accusatory phrase on the one hundredth page of each book, they were sold with difficulty, and brought almost no price whatever.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Language of Insects. Another learned man has been studying the “language” of insects. He says he has discovered satisfactory evidence of telepathy among them. Telepathy Is described as a sixth sense, by which the Insects are able to communicate ideas to one another at a great distance. The Baptists had their name from John the Baptist, they claiming to perform the rite of baptism in the manner . that he did.

FACTS FOR FARMERS. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FOR THE AGRICULTURISTS. Plan fora Frame Farmhouse Witch 1« a Model In Pointe of Con venlsncu • The Htruwberry Guava—The llouac Cellar. Modern Farmhouse Plan. The coat of this frame farmhouse will range anywhere from 11,500 to $3,000, according to location, the kind of Interior decoration or finish, and the amount of work the farmer cuti per•onally perform in Its construction. In tills cane all the lime, atone for cellar wall, ami some of the lumber, were procured on the farm. The excavating for cellar, building of wall anil chlm- - exterior or modern farmhouse. neyn. all the plumbing, laying of sewer anil water pipe*, roofing, painting and laying of stone walks, were all done by myself and sons, hiring skilled labor to frame and inclose the building and to plaster the interior. The house stands on a knoll about 300 yards from the river; the natural drainage is perfect, the ground sloping away from I the front and both sides, the rear being nearly level. It is not necessary to rely on natural drainage, as there Is a system of underground sewerage whieh takes all the waste from the roof, laundry. kitchen, bath tub, water closet anil washstands to a safe distance from tho house, where It Is carried away by a small water course. The kitchen, laundry, bath room and lavatory in the lobby at foot of back stairs are all supplied with hot and cold water. The kitchen range is set In a recess of the chimney, the smoke pipe going into one flue, while a second acts as a ve.ntllator for the vegetable cellar. A 1 third central flue is directly over the i range, and serves as ventilator to the kitchen, carrying all the cooking odors, r Mitchin iQ'iib' 4 k I J J * l I * OININC ’Hoom J | v’ns- J | 1 | Hali PaniOß J - J I *' | d | L i ait aRy ——-I ■■■■■■■, ■— FIRST FLOOR PLAN. steam, and In summer the heat from the house away alwve the roof. In cold weather this flue can be closed by a sheet Iron trap door, controlled by means of a small brass chain and pulley. The sink issupplied with an abundance of hot and cold water, perfect drainage and traps. The door leading from the kitchen to the pantry is hung on a double hinge, which allows It to swing either way. The pantry Is fitted with shelves which are closed In with j light panel doors, thus keeping canned fruits, etc., in a cool, dark place. Below are bins and drawers for flour and | groceries. The parlor is connected with the hall by large, folding doors, which ean be thrown open, thus forming a large or double parlor. The windows throughout are fitted with weights and pulleys.

The entire house Is heated by a hot water heater, located in the cellar, with radiator In all rooms, but open gra>.<w are used In the library and dining room, on Recount of the cheerfulness. The reservoir which supplies the house, barn and garden witli water Is situated on a liill about 1.000 feet to the rear, giving a fall of (50 feet, and is fed by two springs, water being carried to the house in two-inch iron pipes.—Orange Judd Farmer Canada Thistles. The argument that the Canada thistle helps to keep the land fertile la not

The House Cellar, Whether you conclude to build a large or small cellar, the advice of a contributor to tho Country Gentleman Is to dig It shallow, and then mnko the depth ' by tilling up to tho walls. If I were | building tt house, now, on level laud, I where It would take a long drain to take the water from the cellar, I would 1 only dig two «r three feet deep, nnd I would then plow mid scrape and fill up to the wall until I had a uniform grade J from a point not more than !'M» feet ills- I tnnt, which I would make low enough ■ I for an outlet to a drain, up to the boose. | I doubt If this would cost any moreprobably not as much on many soils than to dig a deep collar, ami it would give the house mid yard a much better appearance. It would l>e best not to fill to the top of the wall, but have two or three stops to got down from the level of the house to the ground, except at the rear, where tho coal, wish! and water are to be carried in. and here the fill eould be made higher, so as to have but one step. lam quite sure tlmt by thus digging shallow and grading a cellar could be secured against water entering possibly without a drain at all. and if a drain was required, a short and inexpensive one would answer. The Strawberry Guava. This fruit is one of the best of tho guavas and is readily cultivated in Florida, Arizona, New Mexico and

California. The tree or shrub attains a maximum . growth of 15 to I 2o feet, is of comSpact form, with r dense, glossy, evergreen foliage, which makes it a very ornamental tree, especially when loaded with its rich-colored

J Ut’AVA FRUIT.

.fruit. Produces early, bearing when a year old and au abundance at 2 to 3 years. It is considered hardy in England, but requires protection in the northern United States, where It is gaining in favor as an ornamental greenhouse plant. The fruit is of a dark red or purplish ruby red color in the common variety, one to two inches in diameter, of firm texture, will stand transportation well ami always meets with a ready sale as a fresh fruit or for jelly making. Protecting Rosebushen. While the hardy perpetual roses usually endure our winters pretty well, they do not always do so, especially when the wood is not ripened. It is a good plan, says the Philadelphia Press, to prune the new wood rather severely at this time of the year, and to shelter the bushes by sticking evergreen boughs into the ground around them, , so as to shelter them from tlie wind and sun; this is better titan trying to cover with earth, which is not easily done when the bushes are stiff. The same I sort of covering is also well adapted to rhodondendrons and other halfhardy shrubs that are sometimes injured bj’ our winters. Hints on Stock Feeding. Buckwheat should not be fed alone to hogs, but mixed with other foods. Bean vines are rich in nitrogenous substances, says the Massachusetts Ploughman. They are especially valuable for idteep. There is no better way to economize food than to make the quarters of the farm animals comfortable. Don't get discouraged, and quit raising stock or grain because they sometimes get low. Profits come to those who stick. It requires just as much care and more feed to make the same weight with I*ools stock that it does with pure-breds, and the price is never as high for the first as for the last. Soft Corn for Cows. A great deal of soft corn Is given to hogs which might much more profitably be given to cows that are giving milk. There is considerable nutrition in the succulent cob of soft corn, and this is lost when the pig gets It. Hogs get too much coni on most farms. They will fatten lietter on a more varied ration. Cows rechew all their food, and will waste very little if they are fed soft corn. It la an excellent food to make rich milk, though of course care must be taken not to food enough to fatten the cow. This rarely happens when the eow is a good milker. The Buff Leghorn. The buff Leghorn Is a comparatively new breed, so new. Indeed, that n really good specimen is a rara avis. But you just wait a few years until the breed becomes accustomed to its characteristics, and it will be one of the most profitable, and. consequently, popular fowls named in the standard. Buff Leghorn breeders, like others of the fraternity, claim untold excellence for the new buffs. We rather like them. Lettuce Under Glass. As briefly stated by Prof. L. H. Bailey, the requisites for growing celery under glass are a low temperature, i solid beds, or at least, no bottom heat, a soil free of silt and clay, but liberally supplied with sand, and careful attention to watering. Rot and leaf burn j are prevented by a proper soil and , temperature and care in watering and ventilation. I Inferior Trees. Where the tree stands so thick as to 1 exclude air and sunshine, the Inferior trees shi>uld be dug or cut down. <

When all were in place and perfectly smooth they were firmly caught in the underside with stitches, which were not allowed to pass through. Each strip was turned under to form a point, and was finished with a small silk tassel of the exact shade. Finally white violets were painted in a group or cluster in each of the four ends, ami, that done, the cover was complete. In the room for which it was designed it is charming in the extn-me; with only a change of color it ean be made equally appropriate to any you may have in mind.

Dull olive groen. with gold tinsel braid. Is rich and durable. Almost any combination that is harmonious can be trusted mid only the special needs of the special room can determine what Is best.. Potato Soon. To one part of mashed potatoes allow ' two parts of chopped bread, both well | soaked and thoroughly stirred together. l's(> sufficient salt ami pepper to taste, and flavor with onions fried to a light brown. Another good recipe for potato soup says: Put two good-sized potatoes in a saucepan in a pint of water, one bay leaf, celery seed, a slice of onion j mid a sprig of parsley. Cook until ' thoroughly done, then press through a very fine sieve, using the water in which they were boiled. Put a pint of milk In a double boiler. Rub together one ounce of butter mid an even tablespoonful of flour; stir into the hot milk, and stir continually until it thickens; add the potatoes to tills, season with salt and pepper and serve. To Koohcii a Glass Stopper* The safest way to loosen a glass stopper is to wrap tightly around tho neck of the bottle a long strip of rag, over whieh a stream of boiling water should lie gently poured. The rag ean be taken off in the space of two or three minutes, when probably tlie neck of tlie bottle will have sufficiently expanded to allow the stopper to be withdrawn. Sometimes it is necessary to r<-peat he operation, which, except in very >ad eases, Is almost invariably successful. Testing Coffee. An expert tester gives the following directions for detecting adulterated coffee; Rub a handful of coffee between the lingers. If it hardens or cakes it is adulterated, probably with chicory. Another test Is to place a samplo of the coffee on tlie top of a glassful of water. If part of it flouts and part sinks It is undoubtedly adulterated. Pure coffee contains an oily enveloping substance that keeps out the water, or, at least, does not quickly absorb IL Uinta. Wilted roses can be restored by placing the stems In hot water for a minute. Coffee stains on white goods should be washed in warm water before placing in suds. Don't clean brass articles with acids. Use putty powder with sweet oil. Wash off with soapsuds, mid then dry. Thia will Insure brightness. I’kik and blue ginghams of a washaide make can lie kept from fading by washing in a weak solution of vinegar and water. Rinse in tile same way and dry in the shade. Ink stains on white goods can be removed by soaking in water and then covering spot with pounded salts of lemon. Bleach in sun for half hour, wash in suds, rinse and dry. Here is a remedy for burns, particularly valuable for those who luive <<harge of children. The Intrned part la to l>c bathed with common essence of peppermint, such ns one may procure at any druggist’s for a few cents. Relief is almost Immediate, but the bathing should be cuutmued HU the pa Lu ia over.
