BY o. y Murray. N APPANEE. i > INDIANA. TROUBLE AT SAINTS’ REST. BY PACT, WOW. The group of waiting Idler*, who had fallowed in Itn conree the shade of the |>lg pine in frontof the stage office, wen SSRffi,*ff£3s££ Bummers walked slowly over to tV ff tage road add gazed down Into the valshe comes!” he shouted, ateadwip the middle of-the road; with his right band oxer his eyes. The listeners cgtetfjp their feet end hastened to the A swirl of dost appeased around the bend, and out of it came the noise of the rattUngwf wheels and.the beating a minute later thedriyermade his usual theatrical stop befoke the office. The guard, juidpiWligMly to the ground/hdld open the stage door. Mrs. MiggtaS, ft, fair, and Certainly more than forty, awkwardly descended to the ground, and then appeared Miss Miggins. Miss Miggins was young and Miss Miggins was pretty. Charming glances from her melting blue eyes accompanied her musical voice, while her red cheeks and hair of gold mode the surrender of the hearts of the men of Saints' Best unconditional. The last roll of blankets had found its owner, the homes had been led away, •ad the sleeping stage coach stood to one aide. The major was enthusiastic and the group before him was attentive: “At last tho eye of the world is becoming focused upon the great natural resources of Saints* Best. It is quite evident, suh, even to a supe’floinl observer, that Mrs. Miggins and her lovely daughter have been lured hither by the unparalleled attractions of Saints’ Best to spend their days in rapturous contemplation of the beauties of nature.” “Yer mistaken, major,” said old man Summers, who had been diligently scraping his pipe. “Mrs. Miggins es gain’ to open a boardin’ house.” “Who said so?” demanded the major, Mankly. “That sage-brush pirate who pilots the stage. Mm. Miggins told him.” -On the evening following the day of Miss Miggins’ descent upon the miner in the Lost Horae gulch, from the crest of the ridge to the bed of the wash, found that he had pressing business on the main street of the camp. Among those who took their ingenious ways up and down the uneven paths was Jim Bowloe. Nature bad hot bean niggardly with her mar terials in his building, and Jim was fully aware that hit appearance justified the turning of heads in admiring glances. When 1 be stumbled on the best claim in the gulch, he accepted the fact nonchalantly, realising that it was but the due of a man of his superior gifts, and when black-eyed ’Ceneion joined her mother, who ran the Bonita restaurant, the camp murmuringly recognised his fight to be first in love a# well as in business. But now, with the spell of Miss Miggins over them all, Jim was pained and surprised to note that about every other able-bodied man in the gulch was obtrusively present. Jim Bowloe had a bunk-house partner, Bob Henderson, who, being in stature and ambition rather insignificant in comparison with his partner, was usually referred to os “Bowloe’s partner.” He, too, was with the crowd, wearing a look of conscious innocence, and Jim wasn’t exactly pleased to observe that his hair, which had not heretofore bad an encounter withs brush since he left the states, was now combed as nearly straight as nature would permit. Great changes In the social life of Baints’ Best followed the‘arrival of Miss Miggins. Every day there was that noticeable air of dressed-up stiffness which had before appeareffat firstclass funerals' only. Certain prominent citizens declined to get hilarious except after nightfall, a tribute to the influence of Miss Miggins, which at first excited some unefftinees among the dispenses! of various elixirs, but whan they found that her presence did not prevent the scrupulous ones from remaining under the rule of Bacchus the following day, they accepted the reform with grant good nature. The partners, who lived in a cabin on the hillside, did not become guests of the new boarding house, partly because of pride, party because of an indisposition on the port of either to broach the subject, and largely because of the rery great distance of the Mlggins establishment from their claims. But neither was long in obtaining an introduction to the daughter of the bouse. Since the junto Bum mens was a fiddler whose fame stopped not short of two days’ travel from the camp, there was really no good reason for not having a Thnnkogitying ball. A committee secured for a ballroom the largo Card annex of tits Saints’ Betreat, a resort with a somewhat misleading name, and the camp resolved Itself into acomrnittoe of the whole to see that the ball was a success. Invitations were not issued, for in the perfect democracy of Saints’ Best tbs right of every sober inhabitant to be pi meat was recognized without debate. Old man Summers and Long Jake deceased the sods! situation with interest. “It strikes me,” said Summers, “that the favorite HgbtnkT-rods kyarabouts air Bowloe ami Henderson,” "It do look that way.* 4 admitted Long Jak; “but the bead man at a funeral ain’t always the most joyful- Yon know tot cabin o* tUeire— two rooms and three doom* They any es how since this Mist Miggins arrived the spiders her eehwvbbad tbs door ’tween tho

'thout ever bein’ bothered." Affi Tkanli snlnlnx annsfranhaH tlmag* A BiWigWlßfApproiCnCfl, TIM T 1 citement in .to society circles of Mm gulch increased. Hair that before had found no barber in the wilderness, now made the acquaintance of the shears; clothes which had never before given their owner any anxiety, now became the objects of critical inspection, and boots and bandana handkerchiefs received equally careful attention. And what thrills of delight were experienced by the owners of “ato” clothes of the Sundsy-go-meeUn' style, relies of San Francisco civilization! The parl/nera were among this lucky number, hot neither rested on hie laurels. The express agent had closed his books for the day, sad was balancing them in his usual easy manner, cash book in one hand and report book in the other,, when he was interrupted. Jim Bowloe leaned upon the counter, holding in his hand a noUsd copy ot* San. Francisco newspaper. “I want yah to help me out,” he said, in answer to the agent’s look of inquiry. A low-voieed conference followed* Together they examined the advertising columns of the Alta. “Fo’ty-five dollars, did yeh say?" said Jim. “Forty-five dollam." “’Pears to me that's steep—purty steep, but I ain't the man ter kick about trifles. Hen’s yer money, tilt it started ae soon ns yeh can.” The agent smiled softly, while Boloe trudged away in the.darkness. Strange happenings, like calami ties, often come not singly. It was the very next evening, and the express agent was engaged in a hopeless effort to piv every dollar in the cash drawer balance two in his accounts, when h* glanced up and found Bobby Henderson attentively regarding him over the counter. He, too, was confidential, and he. too, had a copy of a San Francisco paper. There was a whispered conference. “Forty-five dollars,” said Henderson. "Ain’t that rather high?” “Oh, no,” answered the agent, smilinbly; “such things don’t grow on every mesauito bush.” “Well,” said Henderson, “this ain’t a question of 'dobes, so here’s your dust.” The next stage brought two packages to* the camp that were exactly alike, outwardly. One was addressed to Bowloe and the other to Henderson. It was the evening of a day not long before Thanksgiving, and Jlta Bowloe was preparing to take his departure from the Miggins parlor. He hesitated for a moment as he arose, and Miss Miggins smiled encouragingly. “Os course, Miss Miggins, youfflkbe down at the big time Thursday night. An* I’ll feel moat oneommonly obleeged if yon’ll let me have the pleasure of seeln* you down thar an’ back. I*ll fix up so I won’t be any disgrace ter you.” And Bowloe threw back his shoulders and looked down at himself admiringly. To this Miss Miggins, smiling sweetly, and holding open the door, replied: “I’ll be ready to go down not later than eight o’clock.” The next evening Henderson stood on the doorstep, twirling hia hat. Mias Miggins regarded him with a pleasant look of inquiry. “Miss Miggins,” Mid he, “I know I ain't equal to the oocaaion, but neither'* nary other man in the gulch. But I reckon you’ll want to see the dance, an’ if you need a feller to kind o’ p’int out the way, it’ll be great joy ter me to be the favored man. An’ I’ll fix up as much for the oocaaion as Caliiorny will allow.” Miss Miggins was kind-hearted. She looked at the face of the young man before her, and then said simply and sweetly: “I’ll be ready at eight o’clock.” It was supper time in the gulch. The express agent leaned idly against the stump of the big pine that used to mark the bend in the canyon and, with jn expression of tmusemeiW Carting bis Ups, regarded ’Ceneion, who stood him with her black eyes flashing.' “It will be a good joke,” he said, "and that is the reason I spoke of it to you, tor I am of your opinion that Jim needs taking down a little. But you’d better take both outfits, for neither of them knows what the other has dons, and if either lost his lay-out fnd then saw the other arrayed in purple sad fine linen—well, tore would be trouble and a funeral, tosay the least,” "It is well,” said to girl, sod disappeared among the growing shadows. The candles sputtered bravely that night in front of the tin reflectors, tbs lone fiddler played with all to fervor the occasion demanded, Mid the door creaked and groaned under the grand march, hut neither Bowloe nor Henderson ssw the opening of to grand ball. The partners did not arrive at the cabin on the hillside st to same time after supper. Bowloe, with thoughts of neckties of flaming hose, white collars of wonderful heights and stiffness, and shirts upon the fronts of which were pictured all tbs flowers ot the field, arrived home early. It Is not known just what his feelings wars whan be comprehended the situation, hut the opinion prevailed in tbs ramp that hgr not being present It lost to effect of tbs most expressive and artistic burst of profanity ever attend in to mountains. Jealousy fathers distrust, and Bowloe searched hia partner's room, but usekaaly. Then, relying on the natural graces of his person, he arrayed himself os beet be could and started for the Miggins home. If Henderson had—. He shut his teeth hard st tbs thought. “Oh,” said to froekfe-feeed young lady who answered hia rap, “Mtas Miggins went aver* so long ago with another gentleman.” And she milled as only a neglected young lady ran under tool circumstances. Bowloe stared at her for s moment, speechless, and then, M with astonishment and rogr. turned away te tbs darkness toward the seem of the festivities.

Urn night of to bsH. hravd anothcr knock. This time it urns Henderson that the light of the candle shoos upon, and his foes, too, gave evidence of inward trouble. “Mias Mlggtna,” said tbs maid, “has been gone quite awhile. She wont with another gentleman ” Bobby’s face turned to flint. Jim Bowloe did not find Mias Miggins at to dance. He felt relieved, for if she had disappointed him, she had, at least, not favored anyone else. And an, having a gnat regard for the reputation of James Bowloe, esquire, he affected on sir of great enjoyment, and to one or two inquiries regarding Min Miggins, he shrugged his shoulders as much as to say that that waa a subject in which he was not interested. His laugh was the loudest, his jokes the most numerous, and his dancing the liveliest ot all, the company. Bobby Henderson, coming down the street, bad no thought of the pleasures of the ball. He was fully satisfied that Bowloe was a thief and that he was the victim of the robbery. At the door of the Improvised ballroom he paused for a moment, and then, in to whirl of dancing- figures one caught his eye and he saw nothing else. His lip curled scornfully. Bowloe the brave, Bowloe the mighty, had stolen his clothes, but was afraid to wear them! Straight across tbs floor he strode, heedless of the danoers’ rights, and in another moment Bowloe was gazing into the angry eyes of hia partner. Then Henderson spoke. His tones were not loud, but his tense voice caused every dancer to stop and listen, and the scorn sad rage expreseed in every word and gesture held their attention. “A man might jump a widder’s claim and then try to distract her attention by killin’ her six small children, or he might trade all to good words on his mother’s tombstone-for a drink of bad whisky; but that man’s a gentleman ’longeide of a feller that steals his partner’s layout and than is too big a coward to use it.” In the moment of silence that followed every man draw hia breath and turned hia face squarely to where the forms of the partners stood Sfetued In the candle light, and every woman shrank instinctively toward tho door. Bowloe’s red face swelled darkly with rage. “You scoundrel!’’ he shouted, fa he leaped forward. And then the trouble It was well thht it had been Made tits unwritten law of Saints’ Beat that no gentleman should oatTy a Weapon to a social entertainment, for if itjjad not been so, the population of to camp would have been sadly less by sunrise. Aa It was, there wero many private scores to be paid off, many personal grudges to be settled, and the population of Saints’ Bast rose joyfully to to occasion. The major and Superintendent MoAdoo, of the Starlight Stage company, rode side by side in the moonlight, while two officers and a detective loped olose behind. “Hie reports,” mid Superintendent McAdoo, “have not been satisfactory for some time, bat I thought it was the result of incapacity or cafeteaeacasrsthsr than dishonesty, and that is the reason I wrote and asked yon to keep an eya on the young man and find out what kind of hours and company he was keeping. To think that he should fool ns all in that way i But Johnson back here seems to have pretty good evidence that our Saints’ Brat agent is about as clever a villain as ever committed a bank robbery in New York or forgery in Boston.” “I suspected him,” returned the major, “just as soon m ho refused to snap up some of those bargains in the 50foot lots on Hermoea boulevard, which we are going to build, for I know be was bright enough to know what a good thing toy era at to figures i am liking. I felt certain be was getting ready to skip out—" A chords of yells interrupted the major. For a moment toy slackened pace and listened. They were at the outskirts of the camp, and as they realized that the noises that to evening breeze brought to tkom were not sounds of joyous revelry, with one impulse toy started forward. Down tbs street toy galloped and drew up clattering before to dance hall, from which issued all that ecbo-awakening clamor. - - - - The participants were almost exhausted, and to officers, armed and experienced in to handling of men, with to vigorous aid of to major and tho superintendent, succeeded in restoring order. But, though they searched long and carefully end inquired of all who were in a condition to answer, no trace could be found of to stage-agent, Jos McLCsry. The next morning brought no better success. Indeed, it is a difficult matter to get fnformatnon out of a man who has bed his bead bandaged in s towel or carries a newly-lamed arm in a sting, or who is perchance, like Henderson or Bowloe, confined to hie bed with aches and sprats* and braises. So sore a subject was to Thsoksgi ring ball that strangers for months afterward found it unprofitable to introdura ft wa topic of discussion.’ The next imp at noon old mss Summars dismounted from his burro is front of to Bsints* Retreat and ambled inside. He smUsd grimly as be Hsfeoed to Long Jake’s history of to Thanksgiving ball. Then he laid down Wo pips and took off bis old felt bst. Tho crowd gathered arooad him, for they j knew he hod some important news. “I was cornin’ down to Elk Flat trail when I met these parties last night.

Lime is a much used, and very often st to earn* time, a much abused material on to farm. It has s very Important role to piny, and. If handled lit the proper manner, in a valuable aid to the farmer. Thera are many who nsn this material again and again withs mistaken notion as to Its true functions in the soil. In time, however, their experience teaches them the true place of lime In agriculture, but often their lends have beau almost exhausted before they gala their wisdom. While lime has a value as a plant food, yet its greatest worth on to farm is due to lta physical effect on the soil itself. It la very eeldom that a soil does not contain a sufficient quantity of lime to furnish this Ingredient as plant food pure end simple. Briefly described, the actions of lime are as follows: If applied on a sandy soil it fills up to openings, mokes to particles adhere cloaer, causes them to retain moisture totter, to absorb loos heat during the day and to retain more at night. On stay soils it separates the pertlelee, making to eoil more porous, thus easier or the passage of water end air, and therefore makea the soli warmer and easier to work. Lime also heatena the decay of vegetable matter In the eoil, which of course renders the nitrogen more available. If a soil la sour, aa application of lime will eweeten it If a green crop Is plowed under, an application of lime will prevent the eoil from becoming aoid. There la one effect of lime that has no doubt frequently been noticed, although wrong conclusions have been drawn from it. It ban often been experienced tot an application of time proves very tonefioiel to clovers of U kinds. It waa formerly thought tot the lime itself wee the only tertlllser needed for to clover; it to now known, however, tot the beneficial action of to lime upon eiover in due to the feet tot to lime liberates other plant food in the noli, notably potash, which Is of so much importance In aueeesaful clover culture. It will be seen, however, tot the aontlnued application of lima along would soon causa the eoil to become exhausted of Its natural supply, not only of potash, but alto of phosphoric sold, end in time the lend would beaome eiover sieh, which is e condition often met with,—Farmers’ Review.

The Austrian owned extensive vineyards situated on the southern elopes of the mountains, la e locality often visited by destructive hailstorm*. At first he tried galvanised wire, end he decided to Install e battery and test the plan ot causing explosions to drive off tbs hailstorms.

Tbs practical test is thus described; Threatening black clouds made their appearance on to summit# of the Bnobsr mountain*. At n given signal nit the mortars were fired off end the continuous detonations in n few moments caused n sudden reaction In the movements of the oioude.
