4 thI: lei GAFF E# S. C., MARCTT 4, 1897. A WOMAN’S HEART. Outsido tlu> ruin putted dismally down on ilu* great trot'rf in the park, whose leafless braiiehrsswayed.-aid bent with every gust of the chilly wind. I3ut the cozy library of Ashhen Houhg pre- sented a striking contract to the dreary scene without. A bright lire blazed cheerily in the wide, old fashioned grate and played on the fact's of the occupants of that delightful room, where high Japanese screens kept out the drafts and warm plush curtains draped the tall, old fashioned windows. It w;is scarcely 4 o’chx'k, but the daylight was waxing very dim outside, helped (hereto by the heavy rain clouds. As Captain Gordon watched the beau tiful face of his companion and hostess bent over her work a sudden, short, im patient sigh escaped him, and he turned his head restlessly amid the cushions of the couch on which he lay, for, although he was more than convalescent, ho liked to indulge in some of the remaining privileges of invalidism which had chained him to that sofa for some time. How lovely was the perfectly chiseled face opposite him, and how serene, how' cold! Would nothing over shake that icy serenity? ho wondered rather bitterly as, shading his face with his hand, he let his <'yes devour every feature. Would she never guess the mad, wild, unreasoning love he bore her? As ho lay watching her his thoughts went back with a leap to the day he had first met her. He had not long rejoined the headquarters of his regiment at Bal- ly-Mahon, as lie had previously been in charge of a detachment elsewhere, and it was at a garden party he had first seen her. He and several of his brother officers laid driven over to Ashlts n to gether, and from the moment he; had tx'on introduced to her—tall, slender, beautiful—at the first glance of her glorious, serene, gray eyes, it seemed to him lie. had worshiped her. They had exchanged the usual commonplaces, he had walked by her side round the grounds, and he had got her an ice. Nothing very romantic, but every detail of that afternoon stood out vividly in his mind. After that day he had met her constantly, as one is bound to meet in a small neighborhood, and he became a frequent guest at her house, where her husband, a cheery, hard riding Irish baronet, always accorded him a hearty welcome. The summer had waned and died, and in that sporting neighborhood every one turned his attention to hunting, (Jordon among the rest, for ho had always licon a keen sportsman up to this. But fre quently he would cut some of the Ix-st moots of the season to spend a few hours of the short, dark afternoons at A>#.loen, where its mistress, who didn’t hunt, al ways greeted him with tranquil cordial ity, and he would sit in the glow of the cheerful firelight with her discussing, the various topics of the day, only too content to watch the play of her lovely face and t he swift movements of her slender fingers as she worked. Then the sp'll would lx> broken when her husband returned, noisy, cheery, bringing a blast of cold outer air with him, and he would rail}’ (Jordon on having missed a bril liant run, while the latter murmured a vague excuse about his horses not being fit or he hud been detained by some regi mental duty. Then had come the day of his acei dent. Lady Lesley had been driving, and, while pottering about th<‘ covert which bounded the roadside, he lingered by her carriage, not earing very much about the chances of a good start while she was there and he could look on the beautiful, proud face, with its expres sion <-f serene indifference to everything, as if nothing ever interested her very much. Tin n the fox was viewed away, and hounds and horsemen started off in hot pursuit, as if the aim and object of each man among them was to break his own lus'k or his horse's, while the carriages made the best of their way along devious short cuts on the chance of picking up the hounds again later. It was on topping a bank into the road that Gordon’s horse fell, and to gether they came with a crash to the ground. For a moment or two ho re membered nothing. Then, as his senses slowly came back to him, he found him self being supported by somebody’s arm, while some one else was holding a flask of whisky to his lips. A little group of the carriage folks surrounded him, among whom was Lady Lexlcy, and his eyes met hers, in whose depths shone an expression of womanly compassion, but he could not speak. “I fear he is very much hurt,” she said, and not u tremor shook her calm, even tones to his strained and disap pointed ear. “He had better betaken straight to Ashlcen. It is the nearest place, and he run have every attention. ” So to Ashlcen he was conveyed with all sixH'd, and a doctor was summoned. His injuries were not so serious as at first supposed—slight, concussion and a couple of broken ribs. After a day or two in bod he was allowed to come down to the library and lie on the sofa. During those days of convalescence and all the restfwl luxury of semi-in validism Lady Lexlcy had been his con stant companion, and u sudden thrill wd his pulses tingling as he dwelt on the heaven of those afternoons—for she was generally busily employed morn ings until lunch—they two sitting alone in the firelight, while all around them the dusk darkened and deepened. But now those days were gone, drop ped into eternity never to return, for only that morning he h.ui received or ders to return to barracks, as the regi ment had to leave Bully-Muhon in the course of the next few days to proceed on a term of foreign service. After to day he might w e her once again, would hid her a conventional g< odhy, jx-rhaps with a T \v courteous s>< ids of thanks, while all the time his h< art would bo riven and rent by the anguish of parting that to him would be like the parting of body and eoui, but that to her would mean mining, cold! “You prison ; low, OY tions, ; with tla on hex- moving Shi was kind, hut sc T be glad to get out of this : n, Captain Gordon,” her : voire broke in on his modita- • • heavy, down drooped lids, r long lashes, casting a shadow ’air check, her white fingers Hv.iftly amid her silks and wools. ‘ ‘ You must be frightfully bored, shut up so long?’ ’ “Prison, do you call it?” he returned rather unsteadily. “It has been more like a paradise. I can never forget your kindness, Lady Lesley.’’ “Have I been kind?” she asked, rais ing her white lids and letting hercalm, gray eyes rest on his face. “.Surely, I have done no more than any woman would have done in my place?” “And not more than you would have done for the veriest stranger,” he added rather bitterly. “At the same time, I should not like you to think me un grateful, especially as I must leave Ash- leen tomorrow. The regiment is under orders for foreign service. We sail im mediately, and after tomorrow it is un likely I shall see you again, except to say goodby.” His voice was harsh and strained, and his eyes fell gloomily on the fire. No answer. And as the silence grew pro longed he turned and looked at hi r. She was quite calm, the tranquillity of her face unmoved. “How cold, how cruelly cold she is!” he thought hopelessly. Yet what could his going ix> to her but a matter of com plete indifference? But, all the same, it seemed bitb rly hard, when every fiber of his being was pulsing with a passion ate, hopeless love for her, she should be so utterly and completely unconscious and unresponsive. “You will like it?” she said at length, a note of calm interrogation in her low tones. “Like it!” he echoed rather wildly. “Do you think a man likes leaving all he holds best and dearest in the world when going means for him dreariest < x- ilo into outer darkness? If you can sup pose such a ll ing to be possible, then I like going, ” with a miserable, jarring laugh. Her eyes gazed straight into his, com pelling and drawing his to meet them by the very intensity of her gaze. Then, swiftly folding her work, she rose and stood with one hand resting on the man telpiece, as if to steady herself, still looking down at him. “What do you mean?” she questioned in a very low voice. “I mean I love you, ” he muttered recklessly. “Scorn me, despise me, I don’t care. I must speak or I shall go mad, I think. I never, God knows, meant to tell you this, but circumstances have been too strong for me. I had Ix-t- ter leave your house at once before you order me out. ” And sinking his face on his hands, he breathed hurriedly. Silence—dead silence—followed his speech, a silence so intense that he could almost hear the beating of his heart. After a time he raised his head languid ly and rested his haggard eyes on her. She had not stiired, except that one white' hand was tightly clinched on hex bosom, crushing the delicate lace of her gown, while her eyes shone with a strange light as they met his. All at once, with a sudden, tender movement, she fell on her knees hesidi the couch, and her soft fingers twined round ids. Almost mechanically, in ids great astonishment, his heart Ix-ating to suffocation, ids arms closed round hex- tight ly, he drew her close to him. As he did so a long, soft sigh escaped her. “Oh, my love,” ho breathed very low, caressing the soft ripples of her hair that lay against his lips, “is it really? Do you care a little?” “Yes,” she whispered, nestling closer in his arms. “I have, caw'd all along, I think. Yoxx have magnetized me insmne way. I was drawn to you irresistibly. All the sxxmmcr was one long dream ti me because you were there, and I saw you daily. I never even tried to cheat myself with the puerile belief that the feeling I had for yotx was platonic, that mask under which so many try to de ceive themselves and hide their real feel ings. No. I knew I loved you, and I guessed that I was not quite indifferent to you. But you should never have known had you not spoken. I am txx) proud a woman to wear my heart on my sleeve. Do you remember the day of your accident—that fearful day? I saw you fall into the road, and for one awful moment of sickening suspense I thought you were killed. But when I knew you were only badly hurt, not dead, I felt 1 could not bear that you should bo tended anywhere but here, so that I might look after you and be your companion in your convalescence. And I have Lx-cn so hap py during these past weeks!” It seemed to (Jordon his oars must lx 1 playing him false as the sweet voice faltered and paused. His queen, whom he had always thought so cold, so calm, was in his arms, at his feet. Tightening his arms round her, ho bent his face over hers till his lips met and sought hers in a long, delirious kiss. Then a prolonged silence ensued. The firelight had sunk to a dull glow, the room was wrapped in deepest shad ows, when the loud banging of several dooi-s and the sound of a loud, cheery voice announced the return of Sir John Lexlcy from hunting. As ho entered the library the ususal eli<x-rful picture of a brightly blazing fire atid the graceful fonn of his wife presiding at the tea ta ble was missing. Instead, Captain (Jor don was the only occupant of the room, standing with his hack to the dying fire, stroking his short dark mustache thoughtfully. In less than a week the th sailed for Malta, and nothing was »oft Gordon but the memory of the past and a photo graph of a woman.—London Sketch. THE COMPLETE HOTBED. It Is ft Success In It* Heating Powers and Keeps Its Shape. There are hotlx-ds and hotbeds. There is the badly constructed lied that disap points and there is the complete well made bed which, whether set up soon after midwinter or a month later, proves a . ucccss in its heating jxnvers, in kix'p- iug its shape, and in yielding profitable returns to the market or other grower, large in proportion to its cost. The con- 3K-. £ CROSS SECTION—ESI) VIEW, fitruci ion of such a hotbed is the subject cf an illustrated description by Charles A. Lor;j, in American Gardening: The location should be one that will admit of dram age from the excavation that is made to hold the manure. To have a bed that arts as a catch basin for y,Titer in case of n heavy thaw or a rainfall is too risky. If the bed be also sheltered by mi evergreen or other wind break, it means much in retention of heat. First provide sufficient space for the heating material. Referring to the out, b shows a hotbed (1 feet wide, and the space around should not be less than 8 fei t, and in the north even 4 feet would lx!Jio mistake; in depth, 2 feet below the surface is about right. This rail.- for a largo stork of manure, but the manure not only gives a complete and paying bed, but it is afterward on hand for enriching the garden. The foundation is a matter of impor tant o, that the bed may retain an exact position without reference to the set tling of the manure. In the ease illus trated the foundation consists of oak stakes 8*4 feet in length, driven into the ground to a depth of about 2 feet. For a four sash Ix'd use 12 stakes (a in the sketch). Those are driven homo and capped by a plank ripped into three pin es, 5 or C inches wido and as long as the bed is to Ixi. The frame is set upon these planks us shown. Within this frame is a Ixittom made of 1 inch rough hoards which rest on the strips, and on this is placed the soil. Thus is the bed linn and will last for at least ten years. To prevent heaving of the stakes previous to making up time in winter, f eme manure may be piled around the base of each. In making the Ix-d, remove the sash and tlie board bottom, then fill in the manure evenly over the entire excava tion <’, tramping it uniformly and firm ly. Under the frame itself the manure is to be brought up to tl)<' top of the strips that rest on the stakes. Indeed, it may be brought several inches higher, counting on the boards and the soil to press it down to its proper place. Out side the friiino the manure is to lx> piled to make a slope from the sash to the grout’d level. The slo]x> of the hotbed itself should always Ixj toward the south —that is, the sash exposed to the sun. In ox-der to preserve as much heat as jxissible no Ix'ttcr means can be employ ed than shutters covering the manure as shown in the engraving. These are made of three-fourths inch stuff secured with clinch nails to cross slats. They should be made of a size convenient to handle. If, after the heat be somewhat spent, any difficulty be found in keeping up the tcinixTutux-o desired, the shutters may Ixi removed, some of the lining thrown out and freslx manure put in its place.' Protection against cold must be given in the sbuix’ of sash covers Straw mats are much used, but !x*st gardeners prefer wooden shutters. The main reliance as heating material for a hotbed is strawy horse manure or a mixture of this and olher fresh manure. Forest leaves are excellent to mix with the manure, as they decay slowly, tending to prolong fermentation and also tomakethe heat ing more uniform. JHuvable Fence. A piece of fence that one can moY'e about to inclose small areas for short periods of time is wonderfully conven ient on u farm. The annexed cut from | The Farm Journal shows how to make the posts for such a fence. Put up in a ALFALFA OR LUCERN. Facto About Alfalfa That Are of V/lda* npreud Interest. Alfalfa has been grown with more or less success in every state and territory ti the Union, from Maine to Washing ton, and from California to Florida, ac cording to Jared G. Smith, agrostologist, who gives tin; following information in one of the fanner’s bulletins issued by the United States department of agri culture: Screen alfalfa before seeding to insure .'lean seed. Sow alone, without any nurse crop. The latter is often as harm ful ns the wised. Alfalfa seed weighs CO pounds to the bushel. For a hay crop, sow 20 to 80 pounds of seed per acre. For a erop of seed, sow 14 to 18 pounds per acre. Do not cover the seed too deep. North of the latitude of Washington row alfalfa in the spring, as soon us the ground is YV.crm—from the middle of April to the middle of May. Sow’ in drills or broadcast. In the south and southwest and in California sow alfalfa in spring or au tumn. Sow in drills. In the south sow in drills 1G to 20 inches apart and cul tivate the first season. In the arid regions, Yvhcro irrigation is practiced, put water on the field be fore sowing the seed and immediately after rutting each crop of hay. Alfalfa is a deep feeder. Plow the land thoroughly, the deeper the better. ML W A CautiouH Doctor. “Doctor, something is the matter with me. Sometimes my mind is a per fect blank, and my memory constantly fails me. I wish you would treat me.” “I will. But, in view of the peculiar nature of your case, I shall want my foe in advance.”—Harper's Bazar. posts fob movable fence. small rectangle, the comers will brace each side of the fence endwise, or, if px-eterred. the crosspiece imd braces at the bottom of every other post cun run lengthwise of the fence.

Exoniuu and Sta tion arc among the earliest taller wrin kled peas. ALFALFA SEEDLING SIX WEEKS OLD. Alfalfa dix's not attain maturity until the third or fourth year. Therefore do not sow it expecting to get the best results in less than that time. It grows best on a deep, sandy loam, un derlaid by a loose and permeable subsoil. It will not grow if there* is an excess of water in the soil. The land mast be well drained. Alfalfa thrives best ia soils containing lime, potash and mag nesium. It does m-i grow well in soils containing an exctC of iron or where lime is wholly absent. Cut for hay when the first flowers appear. If cut in full bloom, the hay will he woody and less nutritious. Cut for seed when the middle clusters of seed jxxls are dark brown. To make alfalfa hay, cut in the fore noon and let it wilt, then rake into windrows. It should be cured ixr wind rows and cooks and stacked or put in barns with a* little handling as possi ble. Great care is required in order to get it in stack Ixjfore the leaves become too dry and brittle. The leaves are the most palatable and nutritious part of the hay. Cover the stacks with caps. This will prevent loss by molding when it rains. It is not safe to pasture either cattle or sheep on alfalfa, as they are liable to bloat when it is fed green. Feed them the hay or practice soiling. There is no lx tier or cheaper way of growing hogs than to pasture them on alfalfa. One acre will furnish pasturage for from 10 to 20 hogs per season. Horses can be pastured on alfalfa. There is no better hay for work animals or for young, growing stock. Artificial Comb. It is but a few years since the ex tractor was invented, artificial founda tion contrived and the movable frame discovered. Now the world is set agog by a German, Otto Schulz of Buekow, in the construction of artificial comb, all ready for the bee to fill with honey. Both wooden and metallic ooinKs have been used for breeding purposes prior to this, but never for the reception of honey. The artificial comb is made of wax, and, according to The Farm Jour nal’s description of it, the only obji-c- tiouable feature is its heaviness. Tho cell constructed by the bees is iu thick ness from two one-thousandths to four one-thousandths of an inch, but th* Schulz is twenty-two one-thousandths This would make it too expensive for practical purposes. This objectionable feature will doubtless be overcome, and the combs, fully drawn out into cells, will be given to boos as artificial foun dation is now given. The insects will then be confined to the business of prop agating their species and gathering the nectar from tho opening flowers. Agricultural New* ami Mote*. The feeding of mill byproducts is on Nho increase. American Agriculturist says “the out look for live stock interests is more hopeful. ” Enlightened cultivators of the soil agree that whatever can lx; done without irrigation can lx* far surpassed with it. It is believed that in the near future artificial irrigation will spread over the fast and south. ,Sir NVjtlf i Rah igh is the name of n new main crop ]xjtuto.

Queer Kzperlence of h Traveler on a Taka Steamer. “Speaking r# nk-jadging people,” remaiked the young man who has money and ewx take pleasure trips whenever ho feels like it, “I had a pe culiar experience when I took the steam er trip up the lakes. I was little late in applying for a Ivrth, and the clerk in formed me that every stateroom was oc cupied, and lie would have to give mo a berth in the same sta'eroom with an other person. I didn’t particularly like the idea, but it was the best I could do, and, being very tired, I turned in. I saw nothing of my roommate, and, he having first choice of berths, and pre suming that he would choose the lower one, I climbed up above. “I wondered what sort of a man ho would prove to lie, and to be on th<' safe side I tixjk my gold watch and poeket- txxik and placid them carefully under my pillow. I tried to stay awake until he came in, but the motion of the boat lulled me to sleep in spite of myself, and I didn’t wake up until morning. The other p'-rs' ii had turned in without disturbing me. I heard him stirring around in the lower berth. Cautiously I slippi d my hand under the pillow. Both my pi eki (book and watch were gone. Tin re was no denying it. I searched tho berth carefully and quietly. There could be no mistake. My handsome timepiece and several hundred dollars in bills were gone. I lay still for a long time, wondi ring what I would do. Per haps he had hurled the plunder into the hands of a confederate. I felt pretty blue. Anyway, I would report tb.e mat ter to the captain. I sat up in my berth with sudden resolve. A ple asant faced young man was sitting, fully dressed, on the lower berth. “ ‘I’ve been waiting for you to wake up,’ he said. ‘Do these things belong to you?’ lie was holding up my purse and watch. “ ‘Yes, sir, they do,’ I answered se verely. “‘Well, the blame things plumped down on me this morning about an hour before I wanted to wake up. The wallet struck me blim on the end of the nose and the watch nearly knocked my front teeth out. I was never so startled in my life.’ “I looked sheepish. I suppose; I cer tainly felt so, for, turning the pillow down, I found that the springs were of woven wire and lacked several inches of filling in the space at the head of the berth. My property had simply slid through and dropped upon tho face of my startled stmteroom companion. He took matt* rs very good natxxredly, and we got to be good friends before we got to Duluth. Ho was a wealthy young Englishman taking his first trip through our wi stem country, looking for invest ments, and I found him a very compajv- tollable follow.”—New York Tritinne.
