Would they ever escape ? It was a question they could not answer.

The touch roused him, and he looked into her e'C3 astonished. She touched her lips indicative of silence, and, stepping bock, motioned him to rise. He glanced at Bains. The giant still slpt, and, confident that he would not aw:ike for a while, the young er hunter arose and fcllowei the Apache girl.

Then, after a moment's pause, vttit m to say : "And they cost tne$15Q, sir. Those we i-e war times, however.' His fiiend suggested he must have lien in bad company. "Wel'i 1 don't know,' Says tlii gentle man, 'I tluitghtl was in pretty good com pany nt tho time.

Professor Dana, in the Wetttrn 2cw Yorker, thus talks of it : "A new era has dawi.ed in the culture of the cereals, the golden age of farmers nnd fanners' wives, a day of deliverance from a crowd of hun gry, high-priced laborers iu harvest time. Mr. Daniel McPhcrson, of Caledonia, New York, has invented an attachment to the Idarsh Harvester, which binds securely, with No. It) annealed wiie, the grain as fast as it is cut. A trial of the machine was bekl 011 the farm of the inventor, in the presence of several grain 'farmers and ma chinists. The trial was a perfett success. No better work was ever done in a harvest field. Eveiy spear was bound in Hie sheaves; no rakings were left. This strip, fifteen feet wide, between th standing grain au'd the straight line of b:und sheaves was iei fectly smooth and clean. Tlie line sheaves, arranged with military precision, looked like a battalion of soldiers. The iron fingers of the machine bind thistles as easi ly a gmin, without glocs. The draft is about the same as that of oidinary reapei which do not bind. A team ot medium weight made very easy woik of it. In go ing six times around a five acre field of oats not a failure occumsd wliich could be attri buted to any fault of the binder. The wire, which was of a poor quality and badly reel ed, was broken a Tew times-. One circuit was made with on. t missing a Single sheaf. '"Mr. J. SIcKiinion, a skillful machinist, who has reic-atedly examined the machine, says that itcronot possibly fail to ito its work perfectly, and that, if well made of ffood material, will last a life-time. The machinery is very simple, very strong, and woiks with very Httte noise nd friction". Major II. T. Brooksfhoghtthat'the binder would save the wages and board of five strong men, say fifteen !ol'a:s a day, dur ing harvest time. With it, a man can cut, rake and bind ten acres a day. It can le set to bind a sheaf once in ar.y required elista'icc ; and if the grain is very uneven, the distance p.-.ssed over cm be varied for -ach sheaf by means of a lever worked by the foot. Sheaves m:y be bound libt or loose by varying the tendon ou the wire. All objection to the no of wire bands is obviated by the use at threshing time of a irof nippers which cut the wires aiidh.ld v the one end until it is dropped The wiie bauds can thiisbo i:iwo:ics can be cat.
