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

tions, ;

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.

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.

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.

It is about three days later than the
earliest smooth peas. Exoniuu and Sta

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.

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.
