R. GREGORY
Gilmour, solici
tor, Wakefield,
in tho County of
York, was be
lieved by a great
?p?
be one of thc
'cutest lawyers in
England. He
was something
more. He was
an astute mau of
the world, who
dearly loved pleasure, but who had far
too hard a head to ever allow the un
ruly jade to ruu away with him. His
wife had died in giving birth to his
only son, Frauk, and he was certainly
ono of the gayest widowors "Wakefield
had ever seen.
He hunted, he kept a liberal table?
and he made love with a reckless
liberality that not a little scandalized
some of the good people of his native
town. At the period of our story he
was fifty years of age, upright as a
dart, tall, slim, with a young, fresh
colored, hairless face. His appear
ance had not altered ?ince he was
thirty years of age, and it appeared
probable that another twenty years
might pass over him without produc
ing any material change.
Ono day his son, -who, without tak
ing the trouble to notify his father,
was about to marry the lady of his
heart, received a letter from his father
ordering him to go to Wakefield upon
business of the utmost importance.
When he reached his home he was sur
prised to learn that Mr. Gilmour had
been called suddenly away to the
North. He had, however, loft a mes
sage to the effect that his son was to
remain in Wakefield until his return.
He stayed in the pleasant, sleepy
little town for s uno ten clays, at the
end of which period the ?jost brought
him two remarkable letters.
One was from lady love. It con
tained three words:
"Goodby for ever."
The other was signed by a Mrs.
Chambers, under whose roof Frank
had first met the woman of his choice.
It implored him to return at once to
Paisley. Some villaiu, she said, had
stolen Rosa's heart from him, aud the
poor, bewitched girl had run away
with her new love.
Frauk read those letters with
amazement. At first ho refused to
belive that Rosa, whom he had loved
with such unselfish devotion, had
tricked aud jilted him. Ho had such
faith in her truth and purity that it
seemed impossible for him to associate
her with aught that was dishonest and
cruel. During his tedious journey to
Paisley he pronrtsstnitmself that Mrs".
Chambers had been mistaken, and that
when he came to thoroughly sift the
matter he would fiud that his darling
Rosa had been wonderfully misjudged.
But wheu he entered the little house
his heart fell within him and nearly
all his hope fled. The good old lady
had so chanced that he scarcely knew
hr-- Her * yes were red with weep
ing and deej purple rings surrounded
them. The kindly face was worn and
haggard and was sadly thin.
He took both her trembling hands
and pressed them gently iu silence.
Then he led her to a chair and said:
"Tell me everything. Do not spare
me one detail. I eau bear the truth
better than doubt."
Ere she could speak Mrs. Chambers's
tears flowed fast.
"My tale is a short one," she said at
last. "Dear, dear! it all seems like a
nasty dream. Sometimes I sit here
and fancy that her bright face will ap
pear before me as it used, and that all
that troubles me is but the waudering
of an idle, foolish brain. I am sorry
"or you, Mr. Gilmour; indeed, indeed
[ am."
"Come, come," be said; "compose
yourself, and let me know the whole
miserable truth."
"Soon after you went away," said
:ho tearful woman, "I noticed a great
diango in Rosa's mauuer. She be
jame absent-minded, dull, and more
man once I saw that she had been
?veeping. I pressed her to tell me
?he cause of her sorrow, but she al
vays maintain 3d that she Avas very
lappy and she had nothing to grieve
1er. She went out more frequently
han sae had been in the habit of do
ng, and often Li iuconvenient hours.
C did not care to chide her, but I con
ess that her frequent absence from
lome perplexed me. Perhaps I ought
o hav? inquired more strictly into her
novements, aud God forgive me if I
lid not take sufficient care of her.
rhinking that she would soou leave
o be your wife I felt that it would be
mgracious of me at such a time to
cold her or to compel her to pay more
Mention to her duties. Ono after
loon a gossiping -woman, who often
onies into ray shop, told me she had
een Rosa walking arm in arm with a
;entleman in a little used thorough
are in the outskirts of ihe town. I
Dst my temper, and I declared that
he woman's statement was untrue;
?evertheless I questioned Rosa on
he subject. She indignantly denied
he accusation, but something in her
launer convinced me that she was
?nil ty. I cannot properly explain to
ou what a cruel shock this discovery
.as to me. I was too upset to pursue
be subject then, but I resolved that
.hen evening came, and after the
hop was closed and we were alone,
x&[ I would strive to bring her to a
?use of her duty to me. But I never
iw her again. Within half an hour
iter I had spoken to her she had
own., aud this was all she left behind
er."
Mrs. Chambers drew ii crumpled let- wo
it from her pocket and gave it to ; co:
rank; then she buried her face in her
and kerchief and appeared to be dis
icliued for further conversation. This j ga:
as the letter Ro~a left for Mrs. Cham- j an
?rs. It was written hastily and there lis
as a certain hardness about the phrase- \ sh
ogy that bespoke a heart numbed by
def:

* LOVE.
So it ended. She had forgotten to
sign her name.
'Ts there nothing else?" he asked,
in a low tone-"no other clew?"
For. some time Mrs. Chambers re
mained silent. After an effort she
said, though still hiding her face:
"She did leave something else, but
not willingly-not knowingly."
"What did she leave?" he asked
anxiously.
After another pause she placed a key
in his hand, saying;
"That i9 tho key of her bedroom, t
have kept it locked ever since sho left.
On her dress? ug table you will find
something I picked up from the floor; .
She turned from him? for her heart
was so full sh? could scarcely speak.
He pressed her forehead gently with
his lips and left her.
As Frank went up stairs; lightly
holding the key she had given him in
his hand, ho muttered between his
set teeth :
"I will find tho mau who has taken
her from me, and when I find hi1" I
will kill him."
He paused before her door. He
turned the lock with strange reluc
tance, and when he stood upou the
threshold of tho little room, which was
still fragrant with the odor of Bweet
flowers^ he again hesitated;
She had gone and was unworthy of
him; she has proved truthless, and he
of all meu should no respect for her
Still that apartment seemed to him
sacred? and a feeling of guilt took
possession of him as he eutered it. He
walked to the dressing table and-at
first he saw nothing. Then he noticed
that a photograph was o? the centre
of it, lying face downward. He thrust
bis hand out greedily to secure it
the thought running through his brain
that it was the likeness of the man
who robbed him of his loves and that
now'he would not have much trouble
in tracking him.
He picked up tho carte. There were
some words written on tho back of .'it,
ind these ho read with a feverish
ciaste. As he perused them his face
jeeame oven more pallid thau before,
md beads of perspiration stood upon
lis forehead. These words were:
"Yours very dearly. Gregory Gril
iionr. "
He let the thing fail from his hands
\.s it fell it turned, and now it lay upon
;he dr?ssiug table face upward. This
ace was his father's-the face of Oreg
>ry Gilmour, ol Wakefield, solicitor
md esquire.
Mr. Gregory Gilmour, composed,
?loasant looking, and dressed Irre
>roachably, sat in his easy chair, some
imes smiling, more often studying his
Irnoud nails. Before him-white,
?aesionate, A fiery indignation- biasing
n his eyes-stood his son, speaking
loarsely, and trembling as he "poke.
"I swore in my heart," Frauk de
lared, with intense though suudued
arhestuess, "that when I discovered
he man who had stolen her frou me 1
rould kill him. I had scarcely PO
worn before the horrid truth wns
lade manifest to me that the scoun 1
el waa my father, and, being my
ither, his villainy must go unpri
med."
Mr. Gilmour smiled.
"Well done, Frank! Quite melo
ramatic I declare. When I was your
ge I would have done the same thing
?yself; though perhaps not quito so
?ell-not quite BO well."
"Don't mock my misery," .the
oung maa cried, impetuously. " "It
? a hard, a bittier, n wicked feeling
) cherish, but I despise you, I abhor
our name. I wish to God I had died
cfore I knew this shame."
"Sons," said Mr. Gilmour, with a
nge of bitterness iu his tone, "are
ow to pardon their parents' errors,
his is strange, seeing how much
arents have to forgive Even now I
ai doing a great thing-I am pardon
ig your insolence."
Frank turned from the speaker, with
gesture of impatience aud disgust.
"Come, young gentleman"-Mr.
ilmour spoke authoritatively-"I
ant to talk to you. Don't run away;
) far you have had all the conversa
on toyourself. You must now^ listen
1 me. Seeing that Frauk evinced
) disposition to remain in the room,
? cried, sternly:
"Sit down, sir! While you are in
y house you shall obey me."
Sullenly Frank threw himself into a
staut chair, and his father again
ailed.
"I've a little story to tell you,
raul:. It is all about the young
dy you know by the name of Bosa
nyce. Last year, while you 'were
ray in Scotland, I became mixed up
[th a very extraordinary forgery
se. The crime had been committed
Loudon, but one of tho principal
fferers chanced to be my very oldest
ient, and so it came that I was con
lted about the matter. I need not
ither you with the details of the
se. The important facts for you to
tow are simply these: The culprit
is a man named Morris, a heartless,
signing knave, who, unfortunately
r society, had the fascinating man
rof a cultivated man of means. Men
tho world were deceived by his
insible tongue aud his elegant ex
.ior, and he was particularly success
1 in blinding the ladies. Some time
fore his conviction he had won the
nfidence and affection of a young
ly of blameless life and good family.
) induced her to run away from
me to be secretly married to him.
brtly after this union the infatuated
.1 discovered the truo character of
? fellow who had tempted her to for
t her duty to her father. She was
dded to a penniless swindler of the
rat class. What the feelings of a
afiding, stainless girl would be
on making such a discovery you
i perhaps understand. She re
rded her husband with abhorrence, !
d she hated himself for ever having :
tened to him. She resolved that j
B would leave him forever. Taking ! I
thing with her but a small handbag, j Fri
B escaped from her husband's house, j in <
d was never heard of again by her bec
ends. Some thought that she was ! mal
nd-others, that she had gone iug
road. It happened that before her ? As
Triage to thin fellow Morris I had I con
own her and her family, and during j diff
> time we were prosecuting him I ori<
?? thought of the poor deceived | pac
girl. He was sentenced to a long term
of imprisonment. What I have to tell
yon now directly concerns you.
Mechanically the young man did aa
he was told. A change was slowly
passing over his face. His head waa
no longer bent upon his ohest. Ha
looked into his father's eyes eagerly.
"My friend ?t Glasgow^ in whoBa
office I placed you some time back, re
cently wrote to me to the effeot that
you were making an ?s.B of your sell
over som? obscure giri at Paisley.
Mr. Redfern had seen you with her at
Glasgow; arid it had come td his
knowledge that you had taken a ho?s0?
?nd it was pretty evident that you in
tended marrying her almost im
mediately. . Since you had not thought
it worth while to consult me upon the
subject, I determined to see for myself
the woman you contemplated giving
your name to, I wrote to you asking
you to come here, and I journeyed to
Glasgow. Mr. Redfern accompanied
me to Paisley. I was saved the trouble
of calling upon Mrs. Chambers, for in
the street wo met the young lady to
whom you were engaged. To my
amazement I recognized her. She was
Mrs. Morris, the convict's wife."
"I was afraid that was corning," said
Frank, in a low, nerveless tone.
"I had always sympathized with the
girl's unhappy lot, but my sympathy
was not sufficiently strong to closo my
eye? to th? fact that the bigamous
marriage she proposed would irretriev
ably ruin my som I had more than
one interview with her, and at these
interviews ? urged her to abandon
you. She said that sho could never
look you iu the face if she jilted you.
[ advised her to leave Paisley. I pro
dded her with the necessary funds. I
bad, ? thonghtj at least saved my son
aiuch pain and suffering."
"You must forgive me my violence,
Frank pleaded in a scarcely audible
;one; "I am sorry for the words I
ised to you just now. Still-still,"
ie went on wistfully, "perhaps I would
rather have been left in ignorance."
"Wait until you have heard all I
Have to say;" he smiled at Frank as he
?poke; "When T saw Mrs. Morris at
Paisley ? had no idea that her wicked
??sbaud was dead-' '
"Dead," cried Frank, joyfully,
'dead?"
"Yes, dead; The foolish girl did
lot tell ni? so. She imagined that I
?bjected to her marriage with my son
)ecause her husband had been a con
ri?tj and not because I thought he was
itill alive. It appears that he died in
lis cell-"
"Thank God for that!" Frcnk mur
nured, forgetting how indecent his
rratitude was.
"Now that the girl is free," Mr. Gil
noitr went ou, "I confess I am indif
erent whether you marry the young
ady or not. I may, however, mention
hat within the past few days Rosa's
ather has also died and has left her a
?rge sum of money, nearly ?15,000,
nd that Rosa herself is in this house
t this present moment."
Frank started from his chair and
au to the door. Suddenly he paused.
?urning to his father he said:
"On Rosa's table I found a photo
;raph."
"Possibly," Mr. Gilmour returned,
[ryly; "It seems that at one of oui
aterviews I dropped it-pulled it out
.ith my handkerchief, or something of
bat kind,- and she carried it home with
er, intending to give it back to me.
n a few days you'll know who it was
itended for. I am tired of being a
achelor. There, you meroenary
oung rascal, go and comfort your
15.000.
Ere his father had finished speaking
'rank had left the room. In another
loment Rosa was nestling in his arms.
"When I went to Paisley," he
hispered. "I thought that you were
Lyiug Love-"
"And so I was," she said, dropping
er swimming eyes; "but I could not

onnte kisses smothered her words.

The toposcope is a machine that ex

0 arranged horizontally and verti

e telescope sideways or up and

It is obvious, the stability of the
paratnses being assured by their

Amaza Barrow has a chicken ranch
not far from Nogales, Arizona, on
jrhich he has divided matters between
Conscience and thrift with true Yan
kee ingenuity, says the Now York Sun.
Barrow's local nick name is Old Hon
esty, ?nd those who know him best do
not hesitate to declare that he wouldn't
take an advantage even in a horse
trade. He is a survival of the severe
Did Puritan morality which held that
to take a pin was as bad as to take a
pooket-book, and he governs his daily
life by ito principles. But that does
not hinder him from being as anxious
is the next man to get hold of a good
thing. So when he decidod to start a
?hicken ranch near Nogales he saw at
inoe the big advantage it would give
liim to'grow his chickens across the
ine in Old Mexico. But he wanted
io supply .the Arizona trade, and to
pay duties would eat up his profits.
But to Yankee ingenuity tbs thing
?.as easy enough. Barrow just built
in international henhouse. American
noney changed into Mexican means
iearly $2 for ?1, while the cheap prices
jf labor and products increase the ad
vantage of the buyer. But his chickens
ind eggs would command far higher
?rices~on the Arizona side of the line,
[f he bought his grain and other feed
br his chickens in Mexico ho would
ret it for about half what it would cost
lim i? Arizona. , But Amasa Barrow
vould not smuggle chicken feed across
he boundary. That would be steal
ng. So he built a long coop or pen
lalf on the Arizona side and half ex
ending down into Mexico. He buys
.11 his supplies on the other sido and
tores thom there in sheds. Never a
rrain of his chicken feed is carried
.cross the border. When he wants to
oed his chickens he opens the gate
?etween the two parts of the pen and
hives the flock into Mexico, where
hey faed on Mexican grain. When
hey have eaten their fill he shoos
hem back to tho other ead, where,

AGRICULTURAL
Blue Grass Pasture.
There is no better pasture grass
than the blue grass, which in some
parts of the country is known as June
grass. Its roots run near the surface,
and the pasture is therefore sweet and
good so soon as the grass ?tarts. In
midsummer th??? shallow roots have
another great ?dvant?g?; They are
benefited by the light rains which only

will not reach down to tho clovers,
whose roots ruu more deeply. The
clover roots strike down into the sub
soil in time of drought, and the clover
grown then is best. With June grass
the best pasture is in June, as later it
will probably berried dut tdo much.

rank flavor to dairy products as ? rule
and should be excluded from the ra- !
tion of the milch cow. Thousands of
acres of pasture land that would other
wise be in the host of condition, are
practically spoiled by being overrun
with noxious weeds and bushes'.
In the West, alfalfa imparts its
peculiar though not unpleasant flavor
to milk, while in the great dairy dis
triots of tho East, every one is now
familiar with the taste of ensilage milk
and butter. Valuable forage crops
which are now the very foundation of
modern dairying, cannot be discarded
because they transmit their strong
vegetable flavor to milk, but by thor
ough aeration of the fresh milk much
pf this unpleasant foreign flavor can
be eliminated, and at the same time
the keeping quality of the milk be as
sirred.
Whore noxious vegetation abounds
as in neglected pastures, the remedy
is not to palliate tho evil, but to re
move it. The milch cattle and dairy
methods may be improved, but not
until the cows grazes iii a p?sttire con
taining only sweet nutritious grasses
are dairv methods correct or profita
ble.
It is not a hobby to dote on fine
flavor for dairy products. H you wish
to have your dairy goods sought after
in the market and command best
prices make flavor a specialty. Of
course while feed primarily affeots milk
flavors, it is in constant danger of con
tamination from outside causes, but
will not bo injured by taints or stable
filth.-American Agriculturist.
Toulrry Notes.
For scalding poultry have the watei
as near tho boiling point as possible,
but do not have it boil.
Lanterns in tho poultry house ir
winter will raise the temperature per
jeptibly. Hang from the roof.
When chicks do well under your
system of feediug, do not bother your
self about other systems.
When tho fowls are restless and con
stantly picking tbeir feathers, they are
nfested with vermin.
It is not too lato to hatch out young
micks, especially, if they aro Leg
?orns, Hamburgs or Miuorcas.
Bisulphide of carbon as a vapor bath
br the fowls and as a fumigator for
ho house, is death to lice.
Charred corn on cobs is a good way
o feed charcoal to fowls and nc thing
s better for bowel troubles.
Do not allow strange dogs in yonr
)onltry yard-and do not allow your
iwn dogs to chase the fowls.
Guineas are among the most prolific
if layers, but not so well adapted to
he uso of those who have small range
Where turkeys-art; kept growing con
tantly, as they should be, a very lit
le extra feeding will fit them for mar
:et.
Select all the nice eggs for sittings,
ion't use small or ill-shaped eggs
bey rarely hatch and never give sat
ifaction.
When the fowls are busy scratching,
be hens laying and singiug and the
ocks crowing these aro signs of good
ealth.
That hen that is always soratching,
xceptwhenon the roost or on the
est is likely a first-class layer. Lazy
ens are no good.
A hen is a hen, in these United States,
ut some hons are worth ?20, and some
tventy cents, and generally the twenty
enter eats the most.
Young chicks should have dry feed
nd plenty of water to drink. It is a
listakt some make not to give them
lenty of water.
Sloppy food means death to young
hicks. Supply thom with proper
>od, fresh water, grit, and sunshine,
nd they will grow like weeds.
Do not allow your fowls to roost in
ie stable. Provide, a suitable house
>r them alone.
It is claimed that a pen of pullets,
ithout roosters, will produce eggs ai
ne-third less cost.
It will cost some small amount of
ish and a little time to make all brood
.s aud coops for chicks vermin-proof,
nt it will pay in the end.
There are plenty of people who can
ake 825 per year off of twenty-five
?ns, but they are scarce who can
ake $500 per year off of 500 hens.
A hen should be at her best at four
jars of age, and if not too fat the eggs
om her then will produce stronger
licks than those from pulWs.
While digging your potata crop s?p
ate the small ones and keep them
r your fowls. The morning mash
ill be much better if it contains po
toes .

THE BALLARAT COLD FIELDS.
Miners Kicked the Sand About and Picked
Up Fortunes.
The Alaska gold fields are not tho
richest in the world for virgin gold;
nor are the "finds" there more sensa
tional than those in the famous Aus
tralian fields In Victoria. The fevered
exclteffieht afid mad rush to tho Klon
dike gold fields recall th? scenes and
Human pictures of the Ballarat and
Bendig? (sandhurst) gold fields of Aus
tralia. Ballarat and Bendigo proved
to be the richest finds, and the" richest
auriferous bed the world has ever geed.
For mor? than three years after the
first d?sc?very bi gold on the field,
"toe-pick" miners balked the valleys
and the ravines hunting for fi?ggets
on the surface; p?rhaps on no hundred
fields in the World were so many and
valuabl? nuggets ?ver found than on
those neighboring fields of Ballarat
and Bendigo; in the colony of Victoria.
"Toe-pick miners" were those with
out tool or pan, who ?lmply walked
about the field and picked up the yel
low "pebbles" as they could find them
among the sand and stones which they
scattered with the toes of their shoes.
They kicked for gold, strange t? Say;
they were highly rewarded for their
silly effort-silly from a miner's stand
point. A singular example of the luck
of these "toe-picks" was a young lover
who had heard the marvellous stories
of gold at Ballarat. He was a "now
chum," but he had a sweetheart. 6nd I
morning he bade her tearful face good
bye, picked up a big lemonade bottle,
and left Geelong for the fields, sixty
miles up the Black Hills, promising
her that he would return find marry
her as soon as he had picked up the
lemonade bottle full of nuggets, which,
he assured her, wouldn't be much
.longer than it Would take him to walk
there and back.
Reaching Ballarat, the yoting ?fl*
thusiast began kicking the stones and
dirt about in search of his treasure.
No more earnest or persistent miner
"dished" under the rod of Mo?nt Bun
ingyongj where thc rich find was first
made. He had do tent, so he slept in
the open, with his bottle in his clutch.
Weeks passed in and out On the sixth
Sunday he walked into the home of hid
sweetheart and handed her a yellow
lemonade bottle. The virgin nuggets
made lt yellow. It Was full of gold,
$15,000 worth. The couple married,
and upon this foundation built their
fortunes in Geelong, where they now
live, unless the old "home yearning"
has driven them back to their native
heath In England. Facts like these set
the public mind mad.
In less than eighteen months from
the sensational find at Buningyong,
50,000 people tennted on the Ballarat
field, picking, dishing or kicking for
gold. From that day, in 1854, until
now there have never been less than I
40,000 miners on the field. There are I
how nearly 100,000 people in the city
of Ballarat living on the hundreds of
miles of drives beneath it, the Band
and Albion claim alono having nearly
100 miles of drives, and shafts nearly
5,000 feet deep. So mad was the rush
and so eager the crowd that no one
thought of taking time to build a
house. For years-until the alluvial
country was immeasurably turned over
or pegged into fixed claims and the
Bendigc "rush" diverted the stream
:he city ^f Ballarat was a city of white
:ents. The first brick chimney was a
mriosity. It still stands.
The gold escorts which brought the
araous treasure Into Melbourne gave
.hat 100 miles of country the aspect of
i military patrol. Every tongue told
jf the new Eldorado, but no one told
)f the suffering and chagrin of the un
ucky ones, and no one found his head
:ool enough to figure out the loss an
illuvial field was to the country. Men
oolishl; :.old their farms, stock,stores,
)oats, jewels or whatever, and rushed
)ell-mell to this excited canvas city,
?alf prepared, and either ate and
rampled out their gold in search of
nore gold or had it mercilessly take"
rom them..
Crow Puts Out a Locomotive Headlight.
A peculiar accident happened thia
norning to the engine on passenger

rere startled by a crash in front and
hen the headlight went out. They
hought at first that a stone had b-?en

bowed that a big crow had flown

A few Facts About Carlie.
About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is Imported from
Italy. It comes in hampers containing
about 110 pounds each. Garlic is raised
in tLls country' in Connecticut, in .
Louisiana, in Texas and in New Mex
ico. All garlic, both imported and
American, is put up in strings or
bunches, something like the bunches tn
which onions were once commonly
sold in this country, but much longer.
American garlic is shipped in crates
and barrels; some from the far South
west comes in long cylindrical basket^
Garlic is sold by the pound, or by tho
single bulb, which is'-sold for a penny.
In its commercial form, whole or dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous. In a whole
sale produce establishment, where gar
lic was stacked up in quanti .ies, there
was no noticeable odor from it. But
if one of the several smaller bulbs of
which each root is composed, and
which are called cloves of garlic, DO
broken oft* and broken in two, the pow
erful odor becomes perceptible.
The aggregate consumption of garlic
in this country is large, and our ex
ports of it to South American coun
tries, which include American garlic
and imported garlic reshipped, amount
to enough to be reckoned in tons.
