ITTING in a New York hotel one .November evening, carelessly running over the headlines of a newspaper, 1 had my.eyes and wandering thoughts arrested by an article that stirred some pleasant miemories. “Stepping to the table near at hand I was clipping the bit of news when a handsome, athletic voung fellow approached from the opposite side, knife and paper in hand. A moment later each noticed that the other was preserving the same information. Our eyes met, his brown and laughing; mine- blue and aggressive. - *Beg pardon,” he began with g smile that lighted up his dark face- and showed -his strong white teeth to advantdge,. “odd coincidence, isn’t'it?” e I don’t know,” with some constraint. “Up to a short time ago my experiemnce was so entirely along one pleasant line that my thoughts never went-outside of it: -Qf late surprises have come so rapidly that they cease tosurprise. Do you know her?” = - “I'm inclined to think it my privilege to do the interrogating in thisinstance, but you have already satisfied my chief curiosity in the matter. If you were not acquainted with Margie Morell you v.ould séarcely be -putting that flattering criticism away in your po_cketbook.”, “You speak familiarly of her;” and, despite my efforts to imitate his easy manner, there was a challenge in-my

voice. < . . b ) _“Naturally- enough,” and his smile was the more aggravating because the more genial. “I have known her for “vears. Used to carry her bocks, haul her on her little sled, skaté with her, ride with her, advise with her, encourage her when success in musi¢ seemed <o far off, and all that. Held heron my knee a thousand times. = Why, she spoiled the creases in this very.pair of trousers I'm wearing.” - b Now there was an effort at self-con-trol on my part. “Y¥You are a scoundrel and a blackguard,” I whispered as I ‘leaned over the table. “If I ever hear 6f your.repeating such language I'll find a wdy to punish you withoutinvolving the name of the young lady you liave been coward enough to slander.” No change in his smile, but a little more blood in his face as he answered: “Southérner; I should judge?” = ';Yes, southerner,'and one that tries to retain the virtues of chivalry without its faults. I want nothing more to ‘say’to you.” . . ~ “But Ilike you. I insist onpursuing the acquaintance. It makes me happy to chance upon so stout a champion of Margie.” , ‘ : “Mention that name again and I'll—" “Hold hard, my bold southron,” and this time he laughed outright. “Im Fred Morell, .Margié’s brother. Tln fact, I'm the responsible head of -the family. Have you any special right-to fight the battles of my sister?” "‘Only the right of a gentleman who holds her in the highest respect. I met her abroad with her mother. - I was completing my education in medicine and Miss Morell. was cultivating her wonderful voice. In the midst of an acquaintance so delightful to me I received news of my father's sudden “death, and with it the startling information”that disastrous speculation had wiped out the large fortune that I had always been led to expect. I hastened home to Kentucky, spent six months in settling up the affairs of the estate, and have just ¢ome north to see what I can make of talents that have never yet - been called upon to earn anything.” “It might have been worse. ' You are Dr. Tom .Curran. I've heard them speak of you frequently. Why et ‘take a run out with me and rénew the acquaintance ?” e , - It was a temptatipn, and we are prone to compromise with temptation. I ¢ould not go then because T was to ‘spénd a couple of weeks with my own relative, Uncle.Bruff Curran, who lived R 0 miles out of St. Louis: But when Fred and I parted it had been arranged that I should take dinner with the Morell household. a 0 : e At. Uncle Bruff’s I was having a glorious time, though he was a bachelorof 60 and cynical as he was rich. My strange ‘experience there began one afternoon when I was out shooting overas fine a pair of Irish setters as ever'stood & covey of birds. The sport was fast :and furious and I was banging away without any precautions, for the game ‘was in la ‘desolate-preserve and the thought of danger to anyone else never -entered my mind. But my confidence ‘in the faet of my complete isolation "was brought up with a short tarn. I had just let go with both barrels at a flying bunch of quail wf_xen I heard a shout of terror and witnessed a laughable sight. It wasaman literally drepping down a telegraph pole, his eyes big with fright and a false beard shift‘ed to the side of his face. .The fine shot had peppered him harmlessly, but he thought that h hai been fired upon and was beg’inng'ng to plead for mercy when I approached him. ' When 1 went in from my. holiday hunt I found a new guest at the house. He was president of the then leading bank in Bt. Louis, in which uncle was a director and large stockholder. - After ~dinner we smoked together and the two old men told me what had brought the president there. 1 o ~ But a short time before two elegant ‘and distinguished-looking gentlemen -had flashed upon the most exclusive social circle of the city. They dressed ST e AV PR ARG PAVGIRRIILY

/ ] “ b : and one of them had placed $20,000 in the president’s bank, just to meet the expenses of the brief visit. He had been introduced at the president’s home and made such. an inroad upon the daughter’s affections that their engagement wwas currently reported.. This depositor ‘had unexceptional letters and each one guaranteed him-entitled to unlimited credit. e

One afternoon he rushed hurriedly into the bank. He just had a letter from one of his best and wealthiest friends in Boston. He was to have met a Denver lawyer in St. Louis that very ‘day to pay a balance of $750,000 on a ‘contract for mining lands in Colorado. Business involving an enormous- sum kept this Boston man at home, and, despite his wealth, he did not have the ready money to meet the engagement. W'l?hld his old friend, known in St. Louis ‘as Lawrence Bochart, draw on his own funds and look after the matter? There was ‘an assured profit of a million, and they would share it. : “Is it all right?” asked the president, who was dazzled with Bochart and his apparently fabulous riches. T would like to help my friend, for it/is my disposition. But let me insist lt.hatfyou first telegraph my bank in F.\'-ew York to see whether it will honor a |draft for the amount required. For your kindness in the matter I want you to accept half the gain which my friend would make through the deal.” ' “I. ecannot think of it,” replied the president. N ; ““Then, sir, let me make it'a wedging present to your daughter. I have not asked her hand, but, with your permission, I will do so 0.”

(T sent the telegram at once,” said | the president to my unele and myself. { “Inside of half an hour I had an an- | swer, signed by both the president and | eashier, informing ~me that Mr. | Bochart’s account was far more than i -equal to the demand made upon it. I may have been blinded somewhat by the impression the young man had made upon me and the prospect of having | him for a son-in-law, but I took the } usual precautions,. though the large—} ness of the amount at stake might have | demanded more. . | ? “We went to the hotel and paid the ‘Denver lawyer’ in currency, as exacted | by the terms of’the contract. He'said | that he would have preferred a ce.rti-“ fled check, but he would be a.roundi before the close of banking hours to deposit the sum with us. Ithad no sgoner returned to the bank than I received a telegram from the New York bank saying that Lawrence Bochart had no ' account there and never had. ‘Then it,i came upon me with the force of a terrible blow that the wire must have 1 been tapped, that we were swindled and that the bank was crippled beyond hope of recovery. For myself, I was ruined. “Of course,” continued the president, ‘“the-rascal who cut such a wide swath in society, did not distribute his photographs, but my daughter is something of an artist and she sketched the fellow from memory. Here he is, and we'd gladly give $lOO,OOO to recover the amount of the robbery.” ; The two older gentlemen took a look at the picture and then passed it to me. An exclamation of surprise had almost passed my lips, but I was a/for- | tune-seeker myself and here was an un- [ expected opening. The picture was that of Fred Morell. Why should I not win the reward offered for the recovery of this stolen money? Ihad seen the wiretapper and I knew.the man who had se successfully played his part in the aristoeratic .set of St. Louis. : Two days later I was on -my way to join in the Christmas festivitiés to which young Morell had invited me. I had no idea that he would be there to ‘receive me, but then he was not the ,chief attraction. I had said nothing to the two old gentlemen of whatl knew or what I had in mind, but I had decided, to play the novel part of a detective and lay the foundation for some such fortune as I had always expected to inherit. . ' Fred Morell met me at the door of his ‘home and a welcome could not have | been more hearty. His mother was one | ot the most gracious of the old-school | ladiés, and her daughter was even more fascinating in her wondrous beautyi than when she had won my love beyond the ocean. I could not enjoy such hospitality and then bring a sorrow worse ‘than death upon those who offered it. I asked a private talk with Fred, and frankly told him what I had learned ‘and, how I had started out to recover 1 ithe stolen’ money. There was mingled anger and contémpt in his face as he answered me. : @ 1 | “You have taken me for a scoundrel again,” he said, “but T must admit the : force of the evidence. Cousin Bob has ‘bro’an loose once more. Seen apartwe | havé always been. taken omne for ihe! other. He is a wonderful man and his talents, properly directed, would win him almost any position. But his inlclination is to go wrong and he does«.} mnot restrain it. Your mission is to bring him to book. If you like, I will igo this far with you. Heisrich through : iinheritance and fraud. Together we will run him down and secure a-return’ of the mopey lost by the bank. We will make him leave the country for 'good, but without such.an arrangement I will lend you no assistance. He is ‘the first to bring disgrace on the fam'ily name and I care more for it than for his punishment.” | | A loa_g was lifted from my heart, and 'never was there a more delightful day spent than in that old homestead. 'There I was convinced that Margie's hand was ming when I should eclaim it, and time justifies the blissful confii dence, ... o 3 , In New York we found the man whom I had surprised in hunting. Through fear he was induced to discover the whereabouts of “Cousin Bob.” With the suavity of a diplomat and a running fire of wit, he accepted our terms. He assured us with unblushing raillery that the president’s daughter had pierced his heart, that he:had voluntarily decided upon a residence abroad and that | it afforded him inexpressible pleasure to comply with our wishes. i 1 p'u‘t the bank on its feet again, made the old president the happiest man in the country, tickled Uncle Bruff so that, he named me as his sole heir, and made | Margie Moreil my wife.

THE FARMING WORLD.

HORSES IN WINTER.

Feeding Too Liberally Is as Bad as ) Starving Them.

There is a golden mean in feeding animals which should be observed. There is a tendency where one takes pride in horses to feed too much. The liberal feeder should take especial pains to provide abundant exercise. In the case of a team reduced in flesh by hard labor during summer and autumn feeding up to recruit in winter is essential. Feeding alone, however, without moderate work leaves the creatures- in softened flesh, which vanishes before the heavy work of spring. ‘ If it is the intention to sell horses in early spring they should by all means be fed up to a plump condition and‘the muscles should be hardened by moderate work. The careful buyer inspects more than the outside appearance. He expects constitution and endurance as well as clear sight and sound limbs. Toc often the gait of the colt is neglected, to the detriment of its sale. Too often striking, interfering and forging will permanently impair the limbs or feet, when by attention in time these defects might have been permanently cured by use of proper devices. The expense. of shoeing in the course of years might also be much reduced where the policy of prevention is adopted in the early stages. Colts as well as children may be corrected in faults of carriage and gait, as well as other hab‘its, ‘and such training adds largely to their value. P : :

The teams intended for the regular work of the coming season, if in fair condition at this time, may be fed moderately in proportion to the exercise or work performed in winter, and will be in better condition for spring labor than if overfattened. Winter grazing, or, in lieu of this, ensilage, roots, vegetables, bran and other cooling rations should be afforded every alternate day; at least it is desirable to prevent any feverish condition of the organs of digestion. The ocecasional irritation found in the disposition of the older horses arises from a neglect of proper cooling diet in winter.—Farm and Fireside. :

BARN VENTILATION

How to Provide Fresh Air for Live . Stoeck at All Times.

My barn is built with wooden studding. The walls are double. On the boé’om, at the outside, I cut a board, and on the inside, near the ceiling, another, and put in an air shaft éA'i'A) six by sixteen inches in' hollow walls, air entering at sill on outside, and passing inside overhead near ceiling at E L, where arc shutters to close if necessary, according to the severity of the weather. The fresh air thus becomes

RN €ll o s T ] l. R S R . PRACTICAL VENTILATION. warmed and enters overhead. Warm air will not go down, but cold air will come in from the outside. The -exit shaft (B)-is 16 by 20 inches, extending from floor to outside of roof. The door (C) has hinges at the top, to be opened or closed at will, to control exit of air. Some mornings the air is a little muggy and heavy and the ventilation is not, so good; I then hang a lighted lantern in a small door (D), and in two minutes the draft is going again. Don’t cut holes to let the warm air out, for it is the air on the floor to be got rid of. The shafts (A A) are at onme end of the stable, one in each corner, and the-exit shaft (B) isat the opposite end. Omne ventilator is required for. every 20 cows. Don’t make them too large; smaller ones work better.—John Gould, to New Jersey Board of Agriculture. ]

Great Waste in Pasturing.

It is an advantage to‘a certain class of overeconomical farmers when winter’s mantle of smow finally covers the frost-bitten grass which was left from summer pasturing. In most cases this grass while fresh and green was unpalatable, but after it was frost-bitten ‘there is very little nutrition left inlit. The cheapest place to keep a cow at any season of the year is in the stable, cutting and bringing food to her. Pasturing at its- best in summer does not make as cheap food as cut clover or corn does. If continued after the ground is frozen either the cow loses Ilesh and fails in her milk or she has to be fed so much corn that the frost-bit-ten herbage does not count, and the cow becomes too fat to be a profitable milker.—American Cultivator. .

v To Tell a Cow’s Age. The way to tell a cow’s age is by an inspection of her horns. Up to the age of two, the horn is uniformly smooth, from-the root to the tip. At the age of two, a ring. or thick material grows at the base of each horn, forming a sort of notch, and an additional ring or notch is added every year afterwards, To find the age, therefore, count the rings and add two. In the case of a bull, the first ring does not appear until he is five years old, but one annual ring appears- after %that. Though néw and again irregularities oceur, yét, on the whole, this rule is reliable.” Fraudulent dealers occasionally file down these notches or rings, but close inspection is sufficient to expose the fraud.—Golden Days. ’ : ;

Charcoal Good for Hogs.

Hogs that are fattening will often®eat charcoal quite greedily. That from corn on the cob is probably the best, as the cob contains a very considerable. amount of potash, which corrects the acidity, of the stomach. Corn is a very Leavy and rich grain and hard of digestion for any animal. In the quantities that fattening hogs eat of corn it is no wonder that the stomachs are cloyed. A little charcoal will greatly improve their appetite. Even hogs that are not fattening will eat some charcoal. It has some nutrition and they are in no danger of eating too much.—' Prairie Farmer. / |

CORN CRIB AND SHED.

- A cheap -corn-orib-and shed can be built on one end of barn-as shown in cut. Corn crib 6x28 feet, leaving shed room 16x24 feet, and should be built in the following manner: . First set up eightinch sewer pipe on end by digging down cne foot and filling in with cement. Set pipe, rim end down, into the cement so that rim end will be covered. Sills {0 be made of 2x6 joist -doubled and spiked together. Cut cross-pieces out

This will be very handy in getting corn out of crib. Next cut studding to length, using 2x6 stuff, cut so as to flare out one foot six inches at top end from plumb line. Then frame rafters, using 14 feet 2x4 stuff placed two feet on centers. Put on roofing strips, Ix 6 stuff; place two feet on center. Then you are ready for sheet steel rboﬁng, which will be found cheaper for this kind of building. Any farmer can build it with the following materials: ot

Ten pieces eight-inch sewer pipe; one barrel Akron cement; one load sand; eight pieces 2x6—14 feet; four pieces 2 X6—l6 feet; 14 pieces 2x16—12 feet; 27 pieces 2x4—14 feet; 30 pieces 1x6—14 feet, S 1 S; 140 pieces 1x4—14 feet, S2BS; 30 feet flooring, matched; 16 pieces Ixl2 —l4 feet; 50 pounds ten-penny wire nails; 20 pounds 20-penny wire nails; two eight-inch T hinges; one hasp and staples for door; seven squares steel sheet roofing.—Ohio Farmer.

The Selection of Sheep.

"At shearing time and during the lambing period observations can be made for a wise culling of your flock that will steadily improve its grade. Defects in weight and quality of qlip should be noted—age, condition of udder, color and general condition—in short, everything that affects value for wool protection, breeding of the mutton market. When these observations are made the sheep at all objectionable for any reason may be marked in such a way as the owner or manager will understand—and when sales are made let these go. By this means you preserve the animals most valuable for all the purposes of the owner, and by discarding' all the inferior animals you bred up to a far higher grade the average of your flock.—Wool Record.

The Crossing, of Grains.

Great things are promised from the didcovery of the English scientist, Gaston, of a new method of crossing grasses, grains and clovers, by which new and surprising species are claimed to have been produced. The cross between barley and oats, for instance, results. in a new and peculiar grain of ‘permanent type; while comparatively useless plants are, by judicious crossing, made to produce valpable food substances. Probably the value of the discoveries has beer overestimated by the enthusiasts bringing them forward. As'a rule, hybrids are more remarkable as ‘curiosities than valuable as staple crops.—Rural World. = : A Time-Honored Folly. The time-honored practice of leaving an egg always in the nest of laying hens is a time-honored folly. The‘hen knows how to make an egg without shaving a model before her—and we can éonceive of no other reason for having a nest egg. The writer abolished that nest egg years ago, and the hens took no offense. Perhaps the hen will lay more without the nest egg, for seeing the' emptiness of the nest she may be led to exert herself to supply the deficiency. Perhaps, also, this is nonsense; but it certainly is ‘hot more rionsensical than a great deal we see in the poultry departments. — Texas Farm and Ranch. ;

Strike a Happy Medium.

In hungry hens—that is, hens that are always kept hungry-—there is no money; but between a well-fed hen and one that is overfed there is a vast difference, A hen that is made to scratch for everything she eats is in little danger of eating too much. Were it not that fowls do not do well on an exclusive diet of grain, nothing should be given but grain in the sheaf or among s:raw or chaff; asitis, however, a hen should have, in winter especially, vegetables and bran. These must be given in the form of soft feed; always ic the morning rather than at night, and then not too liberal an allowance. —Rural World. = i

Bad Digestion, Bad Heart.

Poor digestion often causes irregularityof the heart’s action. This’irregulasggy'may‘ be mistaken for real,.organic heart disease. The symptoms are much the same. There is, however, a vast difference between the two: organic heart disease is often incur: able; apparent heart disease is curable if good digestion be restored. : A case in point is ,tiuoted from the New Era, of Greensbutg, nd. Mrs. Ellen Colsom, Newpoint, Ind., a woman forty-three years old, had suffered for four years with distressing stomach trouble: The gases generated by the indigestion pressed on the heart, and causedanirregularity of itsaction. She had much pain in her stomachand heart, and was subi"]ect to frequent and severe choking spells which were most severe at night. Doctors were tried in vain; the patient became worse, despondent, and feared impending death, 0 S . | | 7S ¢ =] = = (e ?, ﬂ ’ e . ~ '\ N ; "h ; = - . A CASE OF HEART FAILURE. She was much frightened but noticed that in intervals in which her stomach did not annoy her, her leart’s action became normal. Reasoning correctly that her digestion was alone at fault she procured the proper medicine to treat that trouble and with immediate good results. Her apretite came back the choking spells became less frequent and ﬁnallf' ceased. Her weight, which had been “‘greatly reduced was restored and she now weighs more than for years. Her blood soon became pure'and her cheeks rosy. The case is of general interest because the disease is a very common one.

Soon after Singleton’s first baby was born Mrs. Singleton went upstairs one evening and entered the ‘room where her darling lay asleep. There she found her husban standing by the side of the crib and gazing earnestly at the child. As she stood still for a moment touched by the sight, the tears filled her eyesand she thought: ; -1 “Oh, how dearly Charles loves that boy.” ./ Her arms stole softly around his neck, as she rubbed her cheek caressingly against his shoulder. Singleton started slightly at the touch. “Dar]ing,” he said dreamil{, voicing his thoughts, “it is incomgrehensib e to me how the,y can get up such acrib as that for $2.50.””—N. Y. Journal.

“THAT TERROR of MOTHERS.” - How it was overcome by a - Nova Scotian mother Who is well known as an author.

Of all the evils that attack children scarcely any other|is more dreaded than croug. It so often comes inn the night. ° _The danger is so great. The climax is so sudden. It is no wonder that Mrs. W. J. Dickson (better known under her pen name of * Stanford Eveteth,”) calls it “the terror of mothers.” Nor is it .any wonder that she writes in terms of praise and fratitude for the relief which she has ound both from her own anxieties, and for her children’s ailments, in Dr. J. C. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral. It would be impossible to better state the value of this ¢ remedy than is dome in Mrs. Dickson’s letter, which is as follows: ) “ Memory does not recall the time when Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral was not used in ~our family, for throat and lung troubles, and the number of empty Cherry Pectoral bottles collected during the season, told where relief had been sought. This medicine was in such: constant use in my father’s family, that when.l had.a home of my own, and had childish ailments to attend to, it‘ still proved efficacious. That terror of mothers—the startlm%, croup, cou_‘gh-——never alarmed . me, so long as I had a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectgaél in the house to supplement ti'e hot-water bath. When suffering with whooping cough, in its worst form, and articulation was impossible on account of the choking, my children would point .and gesticulate toward the bottle; for experience had taught them that relief

“One of my children had cro?. One night I was startled by the child’s hard breathing, and on going to it found it strangling. It had nearly ceased to breathe. ‘Having a part of a bottle of Dr. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral in the house, I gave the child three doses, at short intervals, and anxiously waited results.. From the mo--ment the Pectoral was given the child’s breathing grew easier, and in a short time it wa's sleeping quiet!ldr and breathing naturally. The child is alive and well to-day. and f do not hesitate to say that Ayer’s Cherry. Pectoral saved its life.”—C. L. WOOLDRIDGE, Wortham, Tex. These statements make argument is favor of this rfmedy unnecessary. It is a family medicine that no home should be withouf. - It is just as efficacious in bron<hitis, asthma, whooping cough, and all .other varieties of coughs, as it 1s in croup.
