ADA OAEFIT.
Ada Caifit was dccidi'dly tlio belle
of Sliarboroiipli : and as that small but
bustling Midland town had a reputa
tion among its neighbors for lovely
lasses, the distinction was a great one,
In figure, the girl was somewhat
small and slight ; but in feature she
had.attaincd almost to perfection, both
of outline and tint.
She- had a lofty, well propoitioncd
bro,r, around which rippled rich waves
of auburn hair.
She had eyes of dreamy blue, checks
just Bufliciutilly- tinged with delicate
carmine to throw into relief
tlio pearly whiteness of her teeth.
Tho worst of it was, she know that
she was beautiful, and the knowledge
spoiled hcr-
Ada was the only child of a wealthy
Sharboroiigh manufacturer, and added
to her other charms that of being an
heiress.
Naturally she had suitors not a
few.
But ladies Clara Vero do Vero can
exist, in much lower circles than that of
tho poet's faulty heroine, and Ada
Carfit had caught tho vice of a pro .id
coquetry.
Sho relished her power over suscep
tible hearts and hIio did her best to ex
tend it.
Tho breath of homage was a life to
her.
She led her wooers gently on till the
toils wcro all around them, and then,
of a sudden, they found an impalpable,
impassable barrier erected, and Ada's
smiles were for new comers.
It was an amusement, half tho zest
of being, to her ; sho nover wasted an
anxious thought on what it might
mean to her victims.
Men were strong and must protect
themselves.
The last to enter the charmed circlo
had boon a youth from tho North, who
iu appearance and manners was cer
tainly at a disadvantage with those
whom ho quickly came to consider his
rivals.
Roger Herlestonc was two-and-twen-ty
; but his thick-oet, burly figure, and
his abundance of beard, made him look
years older.
He was heavy in feature, uncertain
in movements and awkward iu ad
drcs? As the nephew of Mr. Marston, of
Marston ifc Marsh, cotton-niill owners,
his prospects were very good.
But the knowledgo of this fact some
how failed to give liim the needed self
confidence. Roger's many blundeis made him to
tt large extent tlio butt of his male ac
quaintance, and it was probably this
that caused Ada Carfit, out of sheer
opposition, to treat him with marked
Javor.
I'hiliii Dare, tho lawyer, had likened
Rogers to the proverbial "hull in a
eliina shop :" and Philip Dare should
bo mado to bite his lip with vexation
at her defcreiico to the despised one.
But onco again she was kind only to
bo cruel.
"I cannot tell whether sho cares for
me, or whether sho does not," said
Roger) Ilerlestono to his younger broth
er, lUaruti. "ooineuines i inniK ono
thing aud sometimes another. But
this I am sure of, sho is all tho world
to me."
"Then I d ask hor, old fellow."
"But but she lias always so many
around her. Ada Cm litis tho queen
of a largo circle, and 1 ."
JIavo been tno best ot sons, tlio best
of brothers, nnd 1 havo no doubt,
would make tho best of liuibamls.
"And I," said Roger, rustiming
slowly, and paying no heed to this en-
tliusiastio praise, "am a rougu aim
homely man, whq has almost as good a
right to (Ircain ot becoming- I'tuno
Minister as ot winning such a wife.
"Nonsense, Roger I JJoif t bo so un
necessarily modest. You are just as
good as she, nnd tho girl muut know
it"
"Then," and tho elder's tono changed
suddenly s "I'll nut it to tho ti'St and
rco. If Ada refuses me, it "will bo just
another dream dispelled, and I shall face
tlifl worst.
Tlio opportunity soon came.
Tho two were thrown much together
nt a summer piomu party, ami soiuo
malign genius mailo Ada mor than over
gracious.
It seined to her that sho had suc
ceeded lu thawing tlio ico of her ndmir
er's awkwardness, and tho studied coin
plimeuts ho paid her awoke tho gleam
01 a Hiiiiuy, Hausucu smile.
She little suspected tho commotion
that was was working beneath tho aur
face.
They had wandered out of sliiht and
J Hearing ot tlio rest, o.n nreteuco or cx
nmining somo curiously shaped rocks.
"How still tho nlr is, tinder tho sun 1"
said Ada stooping at a low fenco that
crossed the hillside.
For a moment her companion did
not answer, and sho ea9t a casual
glanco upwards at his face.
What Ada saw tlioro mado her start
and slightly shiver.
"Yes,' ho said with a hoarso and
mighty effort, "this is just tho turn 'of
the seasons, and this hush is very fro-
qucnt and suggestive then. You and I
havo como to a turning point, too, Miss
Car lit, and I must break tho stillness
by n very important question. Can
you not guess what this is tho story
I havo to tell, Miss Carfit Ada 1"
"No, no. Wo had better return, I
think. Wo shall bo lost, Mr. Ilcrlo
stone."
Ada was keening her coniposuro
wonderfully, and sho hoped by this
coldly spoken hint tho confession sho
teared might be averted.
oho did not know tho speaker.
"Wait an instant, Ada, ' Roger cried,
abandoning the last shelter of reserve j
"I have this to tell, that you aro moro
to mo than anyone else iu the wide
world can ever be. I lovo you, Ada
surely you must havo divined it 1 Can
you love mo back again, however I it.
tlo 1 Will you somo day bo my
wife?"
His words wero coming Bwiftly
enough now, aud his beseeching eyes
emphasized their truth.
1 ho man was transformed and a
faint response of admiration was raised
iu the girl's heart.
JJut he was could be no more
than others she had rejected.
This triumph she was used to, and
gloried in ; though usually sho had
been better on her guard, and had
stopped tho deluded one before this
stage was reached.
"I am sorry, Mr. Ilerlestono, you
havo said such things," she replied ; "I
thought you were above romance.
That is partly why I trusted you. You
seemed so so sensible."
"It must surely bo a sitrn of that to
admire and to love."
"Pray don't, Mr. Ilerlcstone. It is
all a mistake, I assure you."
A mistake that you can ever care
for mo?"
"Yes, certainly."
There was a lovity about tho assur-
aneo that stung the young man well
nigh into madness.
Jle had heard ot tho girls heartless-
ness, and had paid no hoed, treating
them as idle scandal born of envy.
jnow ho could believe.
Tho very reality of his own love re
vealed the hollowness of this maiden's
smiles.
'Is it also an error that encouraired
me to think differently ?" ho asked :
'that you accept my advances !''
"Jit was your own lault j you did as
you pleased. But you aro forgetting
yourself now, Mr. Ilerlestono.''
"1 admit it, and i apologize, Miss
Carfit," ho replied, bitterly. "It was
truly my own fault that I did not un
derstand. 1 do now. You will let me
see you hack to the party V
ino return walk was whucd
away by a very constrained conversa
tion and both wcro glad when it was
over.
A etrango silence descended upon
da Carfit for tho rest of the after
noon.
Even tho mirth of hor other courtiers
failed to do more than calvanize her
into an outward semblance of interest
aud good-humor.
II.
It was manv months later, and the
storms of, perhaps,, tho wildest winter
within living memory bad dcRcended
upon these Northern Midlands:
i'or day alter day and week alter
week, thero was scarcely a break in
the clouds or a pause in" tho gale.
AViud and rain, wind and rain was
the dreary record, until tho lakes wero
swollen, tho streums impassable, end

How high tho waters were, and still

Many houses in tho valloy wcro ah

change look place of which, alas I
thero was no symptom tho result

Tho wind lulled for an hour or two
whilo Roger transacted his business.
But it nroso in redoubled fury as ho
commenced his return journoy.
Darkness added to tho ditllculiy and
tho danger of the route.
Turning Blinrply round a corner into
Baysditch Valley, Roger was hailed
by a terror-stricken voico behind him.
Ho pulled hastily up.
"What's wrong t" no nsked.
Pant, pant, pant 1 nnd then a white
face with awed, dilated eyes gleamed
upon him in tho mist.
"Porley Dam bo imrsten 1"
"No 1 sure 1"
Roger comprehended in nn instant
what that messago meant, and his ac
cents wero as hoarse as tho straugsr's,
"Ay ; certain. 'Tis tearing through
t' embankment like a cataract, Gettin'
bigger every minute, and noano can't
stop it."
"Then Baysditch must bo flooded t"
"Yes. I bo goin' to warn 't."
"Jump on here."
And Roger drove as if for his own
life instead of other people's.
Tlio alarm soon spread, and a scene
of terror aud confusion ensued .tthich
might havo appalled tho strongest.
Water was swiftly rising in tho single
village street, and tho mutter of the
onsweeping torrent grew louder every
minute. Homeless, and sadly deficient
in both food and clothing, dozens ot
families fled to tho hill side while there
was yet time.
Whero wns Ada Carfit lodging !
Milton Villa, old Lnko Carfit's home,
was somo distance beyond the cluster
ing villago roofs, nnd Roger experien
ced somo delay in reaching it. The
inmates only three in number besides
tho two maid-servants, wero just alarm
ed, and their retreat was cut off before
oven Roger was aware of it. Ada was as
palcasdeath,biit strangely calm and self
possessed. Roger remembered after
wards how, at lea3t onco in that hour
of awful peril, her eyes were fixed on
his ns if they would read his very soul.
It was a timo for action and not senti
ment. From tho edgo of tho lawn now
tho bed of a roaring stream the
ground trended gently away to tlio up
lands, and thero tho only " hope lay.
It was moro than probable that tho
house would give way under tho ava
lanche of water which had still to
descend. "Porloy Dam" was tho cur
rent designation of tho reservoir that
supplied all Sharboroiigh.
Roger Ilerlestono swam across with
his horso and turned tho animal loose.
Then, estimating as best ho could tho
distance and his own powers, ho re
turned nnd briefly explained his plan.
Thero was no boat within reach. Each
member of tho household must trust to
him ; and ho would return for each. It
was proposed Ada should go first ; hut
sho refused, and time was too precious
to bo spent in haggling. Mrs. Carfit
and her husband and tho maids wero
all saved thus ; and nearly exhausted,
Roger went back to tho obstinate girl
who still lingered.
"Whether I die or live, this shall
bo ray revenge," ho muttered to him
self. Ada was iu his arms now and the
cross-current running heavily against
him. It was a desperate struggle, and
growing overy instant moro dangerous
by reason of uprooted trees and other
wreckage, that came swiftly down the
valley.
Would ho succeed? How tlio spec
tators held their breath and trembled!
At last with a faint "Hurrah " ho made
terra firma with his burden. But then
ho fainted, and for the first timo tho
rescued household observed that he
was wounded. A tree-trunk had struck
him, and inflicted a ghastly wound on
tho head. But for the present all'they
could do was to griove, and tend him
as ho lay . They wero outcasts, like
dozens of others.
That flood will bo lone remembered.

tho girl ho saved.

Troy Kansas Chief, Jan. 19, 1883.
Most of our older citizens well re
member Moso Kito (who lived iu Pe
tersburg Bottom) tho hero of our state's
early political history, who was of stal
wart build and powerful physiquo ;
who in 1858 led a colony of our poo
plo to Pike's Peak; who fought the
Indians on tho plains nnd wns shot
through tho body i who on his return
hero nftcr the rebellion was converted
nnd baptized by Elder Ilenshall, of tho
Christian church nt Petersburg Bottom,
nnd became a revival preacher of co
lebrity all throuuh this section. They
will also recall tho fact that, attacked
wan consumption and reduced to a
skeleton, lie was obliged to rcniovo to
tho Rockies in the hope of saving his
ino. Mono thought ho would succeed.
Last fall, however, the editor of this
paper met him nt the head of the Re
publican river, bigger and more robust
than over, " Why I thought you had

"MoT" I never had consumption,

self. But tho doctors had sent me on
a wild-goose chase after a dozen other

wildest one ot all.

that was ever getting mo moro com

by an Indian in a fight on the plains,
but tho wound healed rapidly and gave
me but little trouble. After I returned
to Kansas and commenced preaching, I
urst began lo givo away.Kl had a dull
feeling. Dr. Butler, our family physi
cian, said my liver was out of order,
caused by tho malaria of the bottoms.
I had always had an appetite like an
ostrich, but my digestion became seri
ously impaired. While on tho circuit
preaching, 1 consulted a doctor, who
said I had dyspepsia. After that, dis
tressing palpitation of the heart follow
ed, and the physician said this was
caused by my indigestion and diseased
liver which would" probably terminate
fatally. Sometimes I had a ravenous
appetite, at others nono at all. I was
feverish and chilly. My food seemed
to do mo no good. A specialist told
me I had a tape, worm ! Then 1 was
troubled with unusual quantities of
water and a frequent desire to urinate,
which was dono with groat difiiculty
and great pain. The specialist said I
had a touch of tho gravel, caused by
use of the alkaline water of the plains.
I then began to suffer severe pains iu
the loins and the small of tho back, ac
companied with sudden attacks of diz
ziness, during which I had to sit or ho
down, to avoid falling. I was forced to

with medicines and electricity also, but

The SUito College
nKPOUT Of TUB COMMITTF.K I1ASKI) UPON
CAKKPUt. lNO.tm.
One hundred and forty students now
attend the State Agricultural college in
Centre county. Quito n number aro
ladies. The institution has not been a
success since its establishment and in.or-
er to nscertain the cause of failuro.and
also to investigate certain alleged abu
ses, the legislature two years ago ap-
lointcd n special committeo to cxamino
to tho charges. Un this committeo
arc Msvsrs. Mylin, Newiueycr, Colburn,
Noma and Alexander senators and
ex-senators, and ex representatives Mil-
ham, Byerly, McClurc, Mapes, Findlay,
Judc.'o and Roberts, with Representa
tive Hall. Tho report has been brought
before both branches of the legislature.
As it covers only 1,122 pages it is not
likely to bo read. Tho special commit
tee have signed tho same with tho ex
ception of Mr. Byerly, late of William
spoit. IIo did not sign because ho is
now in Texas, interested in cattle
droves and not in colleges in Pennsyl
vania. Tho committee reports that they find
all tlie vouchers of the trustees correct.
This is tho usual preliminary to a
hite-wash. Yet they do not use this
purifying political compound any fur
ther. They censure the old board of
ustees for neglecting to givo proper
attention to the college's concerns, and
state in the report that neglect nipped
the college s best interests in the bud.
They censure the agricultural societies
of the State for never selecting or elect
ing one of the thirteen trustees to which
they are entitled Action of that sort
throw the government back upon the
local management and General Beaver,
the report says, was compelled to take
entire charge. Aluch credit is given
him for his action in the premises. One
of the recommendations calls for tho
abolition of the State experimental
farm? in Cluster aud Indiana counties,
and the establishment of a central sta
tion similar to the 127 stations in Ger
many, which have been patterned after
ith much success in Ohio.
The committee makes the repot t a
otnpleto history of tho college. It
gives the protest ot tno atate (Grangers,
which protest was made on me grounds
that tho neglect was in teaching the
classics to tho detriment of farming.
Hon. Victor iu 1'iollet specially reterrcd
to that exception in his testimony.
Another abuse referred to at length is
io Westgrovo farm, in Chester county,
where a State appropriation of $5,000
made the total amount of inaugurating
tho experiment 818,000. This farm,
tho report says, has been a great drain
on the college nnd much help to the
farmers of Chester when they wanted
blooded cattle. Tho Chanceford Farm
ers' Club, of Chester county, havo re
ferred to this farm largely in their dis
cussions.
The committee, in closing its report,
expresses tho opinion that tho trustees
made honest mistakes ot judgment, but
the statement is made that the failure is
largely duo to the lack of interest
taken by tho agricultural classes iu tho
State.
Banqueting General Lee.
Tho banquet to Gen. Fitzhui'h Leo
and the other visiting Virginians in tho
Mansion House in Brooklyn last Friday
night was attended by a large number
of military guests in unifoim. The
dining hall was hung with flags, in
cluding banners from tho Virginia
National Guard stores. An orchestra
played Southern tunes, and when tho
strains swelled into Dixie
there was a loud applause. When the
smoke of cigars began to curl, Col.
Austen rapped for order and said that
n the gathering ot old soldiers who
tad met on tho field of Battle as foes,
thero were new emotions which be
tokened iu this, country a fraternity and
spirit of reconciliation thathad come to
remain.
When General Fitzhugh Leo was
called upon tho musicians struck up
"Olo Virginity," and Gen. Leo could
not continue until ho was cheered three
times and was onco moro treated to thu
regiment's " Fizz boom nh cheer."
Gen. Leo in tho absence of Gen. Rogor
A. Pryor, who was to speak to tho toast
of Virginia, spoke to tho combined toast
of "Virginia and Our Guests." lie
said ho felt like Col. Vauco at tho bat
tle of Malvern Hill, in trying to storm
battery, who on seeing a haro run
down tho hillside pointed his sword in
the lino ot duty and, looking toward
the retreating "rabbit, said, " Go it,
Molly Cottontail, If I didn't havo n
reputation at staku I'd bo with you."
Virginia felt now that it was ono of tho
great sisterhood of States, determined
that tho Union should nnd must bo
maintained. This wns now a great
country, bounded on tho north by ico
mid on tho south by bananas, and if
any ono tried to enter it ho was apt to
slip up. There were loyal hearts now
beneath a boutherii sun, and they
wanted to maintain the era of reconcil
iation and good feeling. It could not
bo dono by calling the Southerners
"rebels," or by calling Northerners
" cantnnkerous Yankees." Somo timo
ago, when two New York Senators re
signed from tho Senate, peoplo down
in Virginia began to look up their rusty
swords, in the suspicion that New York
was going to try on secession.
" Wo havo a Notional Guard down
in Virginia," said Gen. Loo, " that is
watching this Union."
Why ho disagreed: "Disagree,"
said the juryman, "of couiuo I did.
