They hurried forward, talking excitedly.
"I heard voices!" said one.
"Yes," I heard them, too," returned
the other, "and a shriek of terror!"
"It was a woman's voice! Ah,
Harold! Harold!"
For at that moment they stumbled
and nearly fell over the prostrate
form of a man who lay, pinned to the
earth, by one of the great trunks of
the scycamore tree, which had fallen
all across him. The pick-ax he had
been using was still in his grasp, and
the spade had been flung to a little
distance.
The face was partly uncovered, and
the wild, wide-open, glassy eyes
stared up at Dolores as she went
down over him.
The same thought had come both
to Dolore? and Moray, and she answered
his now, as if he had spoken
it aloud:
"Yes," she said, "it is hel The
man who called himself Clarence
Stanlev. In some wav he must have
found the clew to the Mendoza treasure,
and he was digging for it when
the earthquake overtook him.
Wretched man! He has paid the
penalty?he is quite dead?and, oh,
Harold, is it not like Fate itself, or
the visible hand of heaven? How
horrible! How awfull"
She covered her face with her hands
and turned away shaken and shuddering.
And, truly, something very strange
and awful had occurred.
The sycamore, in falling, had flung
that part of the trunk on which wa:i
carved the outline of the Indian
woman's figure in such a way, that it
fell with all its force against the head
of her cruel and treacherous descendant;
and, with that treacherous
blow, the point of the arrow-head had
beei? toiven into the center of the
Liiick, heart shaped mole through the
yjs^emple, and crashing into the cunning,

"He is past all lielp or further punishment,"
said Moray, drawing
Dolores gently away from the fatal
spot. "Let me take you home,
dearest; we will send men here at
once to do all that is left to do, now.
But the woman! It must have been
bis wife that was with him; it was
certainly a woman's voice that gave
that terrible cry!"
"Nothing will hurt Olive Gaye!"
said Dolores, bitterly. "Such people
are like cats; they always alight
on their feet. But we will look about
for her, Harold," since she is a
woman."
"I will take yon home first, Dolores."
Bat long before they reached the
house, they were met by Mr. and
Mrs. Travers and a troop of their
work people, who were out in search
of them; and the brief excitement j
following the excitement having al-!
w rea<ly subsided, the men were more
than willing for a new and more legitimate
excitement in extricating the
body of the dead man from the fallen
tree, which had served as an avenging
thunderbolt to the spirit of the
long-forgotten Indian princess.
The brilliant light of a new morning
-*T3S shining on the wreck of the sycamore
trees before the debris of the
earthquake and the body of the dead
hadbee? taken away, and no trace had
h?on found nf thfl fleiul man's wife.
lthough diligent search had been
made in every direction; and -Mrs.
Travers, with Dolores, having been
assured that all signs of the recent
tragedy had been removed, stood beside
the spot where the false Clarence
Stanley and still more false Carlos
Mendoza had met his death.
"What an exquisite morning," said
Dolores. "It is difficult to realize
that it has risen over 6uch a night of
horror. The beautiful sky smiles as
if it looked on a new worlds?just as it
Bmiled on that great man, four hundred
years ago, who gave a new world
to mankind."
"Yes, dear," said Mrs. Travers,
standing by the edge of the great
trench that had been opened, first by
the pick and spade, and afterward
torn asunder by the earthquake;
ana nere at last lies tne great jiendoza
treasure, uncovered in all its
glory, and smiling back with a thou an-i
brilliant, glittering eyes! Lookj
Look! Everybody come here! The
lid has been shaken from the box,
and just see the river of precious
stones that flash back the light from
every corner!*'
"Yes," said Dolores, gravely;
"that must be the treasure. I had i
forgotten it."

in answer to his wife's shrill cries,
now stooped ami picked up some
pieces of dull, yellowish stone ami
earth, with here ami there bright
specks that flashed like yellow light.
"Yos," he said, musingly, "the
Mendoza treasure, indeed. This
opens a vein that will lead to the discovery
of the great lost mine of the
Santiago Canjon. A. myth it has
been thought l>y mining men, but a
fact, as this will prove; and this bit of
land, 'or several acres round about,
belongs to the Senorita Mendoza, the
last and only remaining portion of all
lliat once belonged to her father.
Mrs. Travers caught Dolores in a
close embrace aud hugged her tiU she
begged for mercy.
"Oil, you darling girl! You great
bonanza! You will have jewels outrivaling
the revenue of an emperor!"
"Give me the hearts of those I
love!" exclaimed , Dolores, Biniling
through happy tears. "They are the
jewels that gold can never buy, and
their luster is brightest in clouds and
darkness."
.CHAPTER XXXIII.
OKANCJfi BLOSSOMS.
i The beauty of a bride is proverbial,
ao i c-unr-.j
y f.oxext bosnia's lexi.) '
but even among bride3 it is rare tc
see such beauty as that of Dolores oe
her wedding day.
Lord Moray had entreated for an
early date for the marriage; for he
desired to return at once to England,
that he might be present,
with the only comfort of love
and sympathy, when his sister learned
of her lover's death; and Dolores
could find no word of refusal.
She did not wish, indeed, to fiird
any; their love was perfect; a flower
of Paradise which could neither wither
nor improve. There was no cause for
delaying the marriage, and it was Mrs.
Travers who asked for a reasonable
time to elapse.
A bride could not be married without
a trousseau, she declared, and
such a bride? Dolores should nave a
trousseau worthy of her beauty and of
the Mendoza treasure. And suoh a
trousseau, it was easy to see, could
not be procured in a day.
And Mrs. Travers had her way, as
ner nusoana remaruea sae geaerany
did, since she took it if it wasn't given
to her.
But Dolores found happiness even
in this delay; for Polly Hamilton had
speedily followed her letter, as she
had promised to do; and, as Mrs.
Travers declared, any lover less perfect
than Lord Harold would have
been jealous, even though his rival
was only a girl. For herself, she announced
that Bhe was furiously jealous,
or should have been if she hadn't
almost fallen in love with Polly Hamilton
also. For Polly was once more
the gay, sweet, ardent, hopeful girl
she had been of old; perhaps more
gentle, more subdued than formerly,
I but with the renose of a fine nature
that has learned its own strength
through suffering, and with the
humility of gratitude for a most for- |
tunate escape from great danger and j
sorrow.
The days and weeks passed as in a
delightful dream; a happiness so deep,
and tranquil that even its excess did
not alarm.
"The chief bridemaid is almost as
lovely as the bride," said Mr. Travers
on the wedding day.
Polly and Dolores, a little apart
itom all others, not admitting even
the bridegroom at this farewell communion,
were clinging to each other
in the embrace of parting love; each
feeling this to be the only painful
moment they had known since their
reunion.
"You must stop admiring Polly
Hamilton," Mrs. Travers said, laughing,
"or I shall be jealous. I never
knew you so enthusiastic about any
girl since?since "
"Sinoe I courted you, my detfr,"re
turned her husband, "les, Nell, 1,
think her delightful; much too good,
and lovely to be wearing the willow
for that atrocious ruffian who jilted
her and met with such a fitting end td
al> His treacherous villainy."
'Oh, she isn't!" exclaimed his wife.
"Don't suppose it. Polly Hamilton
is heart-whole, though she may have
been shaken a little, but not enough
to harm her. She is just the kind of
woman to profit by an experience such
as she has had, and few girls fall in
love with the right man the first time.
All women are not so fortunate, sir,
as your wife has been."
And Mrs. Travers would have been
confirmed in her opinion could she
have heard the words Polly was then
saying to Dolores.
"You are the angel of my life,
Rita," said Polly, "and never more so
than when you were the means of saving
me from a fate worse than death i
had I learned too late the awful truth !
about that man
"Let us not speak of liim, dear,"
said Dolores. "Let his memory die,
as an ugly dream scared away by the
joy of waking."
*
"And she will be the Countess of
"Windermere!" said Mrs. Hamilton to
ber husband. "Well, since it was not
to be Polly, I don't know but it is
next best to have the title borne to
Dolores. She will grace it and honor
it."
"She will grace and honoj anything,"
said Mr. Hamilton. "But you
must not be too sure that she will ever
wear the Windermere coronet."
"What do you mean?" exclaimed
his wife.
"Just this, my dear: My latest letters
from England mention, incident*
ally, that the old earl is about to marry
again. There will soon be a new
Countess of Windermere; and, for a
time, at least, Dolores may be barred
out."
"The old earl?he must be in his
dotage!" said Mrs. Hamilton.
"Very likely, was tlio amused re- J
ply; "but that makes things only !
more easy for Olive Gaye,"
"Olive Gaye! That girl! After all j

"Heaven has little to do v ith such ,
people," returned her husband, grim- j
I ly. "But Fate or tho Devil or some
I thing of that sort is very favorable to j
the Becky Sharps of this world." j
"O?h!" exclaimed Mrs. Hamilton,
with a long-drawn sigh of indignation
too deep for words. "Well, at least
she will prove the worst punishment
the old man can ever meet for his
folly."
"Yes, that is where the justice of
Heaven comee in. Bat, look dear;

Increaainc the farm's Value.
The value of a farm is sometimes Increased
twofold by giving it an attractive
appearaqce. Any person desiring
to purchase a farm will pay
more for one that has been well kept
than for even a better one on which
the owner has given but little attention
to neatness. Every traveler
along a highway will give a second
glance at a farm with a nicely mowed
lawn and whitewashed trees, while
paint on the buildings will give them
me appearance of being new. A home I

makes it attractive in appearauce.

SuKBextionR For Plowing.
When the plow is hard to hold it is
safe to say that it is hard work for
the teams to draw it. This may be because
of roots or stones. In which case
the cause is obvious, but if not something
else is wrong, and the cause
should be found and the trohble remedied.
Is the point of the plow dull or
I the cutter that is used in front of it
in sward land? It would be cheaper
to get a new plow than to wear out
plowman and team with a plow in
I poor eouumou. r>iu qunu as uneii we
| have found the trouble to arise from
I the line of draught not being right.
It would seem that any farmer should
know if his plow "run her nose into
the ground," so that he found he had
to hear his weight on the handles, or
pulled out so he had to lift on it to
keep it in, or whether it took too wide
a furrow or too narrow a one, and
should know how to remedy it, yet we
have known a farm hand to work all
day with a plow when he was putting
out more strength every hour than he
would have used in a day's work with
the same plow after he had hitched
the team properly. And the team was
as tired as he was.?The Cultivator.
Bntter Cultures.
One of the acknowledged experts in
this qountry .on the subject of rlpenj
ing cream is Professor H. W. Conn,
of Connecticut, who is the introducer
j of the system of artificial butter cultures
and the discovered of the famous
bacteria which produces the June butter
flavor. Iu his new bulletin No.
21 he discusses various methods of
compelling cream ripening by use of
starters and butter cultures. The
Danish method is to pasteurize the
cream and then add a pure culture
of the right kind of bacteria. This
produces a mild-flavored butter, wliicb,
however, is not so well liked in this
country as that produced by natural
starters. To make a natural starter
take the milk from a perfectly healthy
cow. The first few jets of milk are
rejected and the rest drawn into a
sterilized vessel, which is immediately
covered, heated to a proper temperature
and the inilk passed through a
separator. The skim milk thus obtained
is set aside in a covered sterilized
vessel to sour. When well
soured it serves as a starter for the
cream-opening process. Iu conclusiou,
the professor observes that the use
nf nnv lriml nf etnrtov will nnt
good butter out uf poor cream.
Llioe and Soil Mlcro-OrcanUmo.
Lime in the soil favors tlie decomposition
of organic matter and the
caibonic acid thus produced acts upon
the- soil in such a way as to render the
narural plant food easy of assimilatir
. It also plays an important part
in changing the ammonia into nitric
acid, or in other words, placing at
the disposal oft the plants the nitrogen
which has been stored up.
(.'lover, beans and all other leguminous
plants which draw their ni:rogen
chiefly from the air are unible
to make satisfactory growth if the
ioil exceeds a certain degree of acidty.
It seems that the minute organsins
which dwell in the nodules oil the
roots of legumes cannot thrive in an
icid atmosphere. By the application
5f lime, this acid is neutralized and
the iejruines grow readily, producing
zn-at quantities of nitrogen, which if
(Hirchased in the form of fertilizer
would cost about thirteen cents per

might prove injurious to these plants,

A Cow's Food and Her Milk., , v/
I have known wild onions to spoil
-completely the milk of cows which
had eaton of them; that turnipS fed
to cows have a similar effect; that even
when stored on the feeding floor In
the stable they have had a bad effect on
milk and butter and even cheese. Every
dairy man or woman knows how the
white clover improves the character
of the milk in quality and flavor,
while cottonseed meal does the same,
but not favorably for all tastes. The
same applies to the gluten meals,
which effect both flavor and color of
the buttc- while pumpkins do the
snine. inueeu, xue wuoie oouu oi
witnesses to these facts might completely
demolish the suggestion that
dairy experts assure us, that "odors or
flavors do not come through the cow." i
If they do not, what then causes the
great variation in flavor of milk,
cheese and butter?
But there is sure proof that th?
food not only affects the quality and
flavor of milk products, but distinctly
affects the chemical reactions of the
fat of the milk of cows. I have
tested cottonseed oil and the butter
made from it and tli? butter adulterated
with it. Tlie Washington Department
of Agriculture did the same,
and Dr. Taylor, then the chemist of
the department, showed by colored
illustrations that the reactions of butter
so adulterated, either by actual
addition of the oil to the cream in the
churning or by feeding the cottonseed
meal, were precisely the same.?II.

DrlvJnjr Fenco Post.
It undoubtedly saves a good deal of
hard work when building fences
where posts are required to sharpen
the end of the post and with a huge
wooden beetle drive it deeply into
the moist soil in spring as far as possible.
But the plan has also its disadvantages,
which are developed after
a year or two, when frost lifts
up the post every winter, so that if
the top of the fences be heavy the
post is soon in a tumble-down condition.
The failure of the driving down
plan of setting the post comes from the
fact that usually the post is only
driven down to the depth of the annual
freezing in winter. When it
comes to the "hard pan," where frost
has not penetrated before, the post
cannot be driven farther. Its point
turns up or the top of uie post will
be split by the severe pounding it
will receive. Yet unless the post is
set deeper than the frost will penetrate
it is very difficult to make it stand
erect until decay has done its work.
In a soil where there is a deep underdrain
posts may be set nearly to
its depth by driving, and remain Arm
so long as the post lasts. The plan
is to either build n pile of earth around
the post so as to turn the water away
from it, or to bore a hole through the
post somewhere near the bottom, and
drive a wooden peg the size of the
hole through it and sticking out on
either side o far as the post will
allow. On this peg set a three-cornered
block that can be nailed both
to the peg and the post. 'Jhis makes

turned away from the post, and can
get off through the underdrains, the
fence will remain firm as long as the
post does not rot. When it does rot
it will most likely he at the surface,
for there the changes of temperature
and from wet to dry are more frequent
than they are deeper in the soil. In j
most post fences the part above
ground is much longer tnan that helow.
It sometimes pays to take up
post and hoard fences that have been
long in the ground, and after putting j
some (lumen earnone jicki on parrs
that have decayed to prevent further
progress, set them with the top part
in tli<> soil. If this top is well dried j
it should he immersed in diluted carbolic
acid before being placed in tiie
ground. It will then be much, less
likely to decay quickly.?American

measures considerably less, about half
at the top from what it. measures at
the bottom hem. The tucks are run
lip aud down for abour half the depth
of the ounce. They occur at the top;1
and end half way down. Tin* tucks j
are introduced as a means of disposing j

that, the fullness may be released below
the waist and made a graceful

adopted for the flounce. You would

should lie cut with a low. square neck
that may be edged with hire or tilled
in entirely, as preferred. The sleeves
should lie loose puffs, reaching only io
the elbow. A gown of this description
made of Mack India silk can be worn
all summer without becoming shabby,
and no woman who has ever had one
will allow a summer to pass without
providing it.
