That nili. despite the Ions li'iursin the saddle, tht? youtis officers had bidden their laily friends to an informal d;moe iu the lnl)ro:n. It was just a wi after Xita CJiithri A- a-lvcnlnro. and al ready, except iu the thoughts of two or three men, that etranst? affair was a thing of the past Fin'ils had settled down to a:i accentauce of Lit own ex planation of the cause, not that it was tutirviy satisfactory, bnt lt-ause no nhor seemed plausible. Just why a girl hhouM have been rendered nervous ami niiset liecause she had had a projtosal. Mrs. Vance of course could not uuiler-r-tau.l "esj.ieciaily,"' said sha, a girl who was reputed to have had so many f .ff. rs." It was Lui -hinsly remarked 1 y various miliary liem-dicts that since the moment when Miss Guthrie's scrcaia of i. nor had appall.-d the garrison the tlames and damsels of their several households had shown an unwonted le VTeeof timidity in visiting about lbs post after iikhtfall. and that much mors jU.iii the traditional amount of huntins behiii'l curtains and under bedsteads Wiis now goins on. li-rrien was esjievially jocular, and n.;re than ever dirsed ti tell his cronies in her presence that Berengaria bal said this or Derensaria had done that, tlie this or that Wins something more than usually aljsurd or iinj. ;r 'Val le. But in the conversations held of late in the sanctity of Bereiigaria's boudoir tL major ! rd lieen anything but jocular. Tin-re was one incident of that evening that had caused Lim deep perplexity, lie had ijever for a moment forgotten l:is wife's allusions to Winifred Wini fred, the apple of his eye. The ssi l.ility of her having li-st her voting heart to. or even having cmue to feel inure I hau passing interest in. Cat roll Drew ler was something that troubled hii-i l.ir more than he carel to admit. Like many another father he had gone on faucyinsi his daughter only a chill tine to ioni the idea of falling in love would not present itself for years to come, and then only on irareutal inti mation that it was esjpected of her. Personally and officially he had nothing against Brewster. He liked him quite as well as he did any of the junior of ficers, and he liked most of them very much indeed. It was as soldierly, man ly a lt of young fellows as one conld a.-k to see, but in the close comradeship and intimacy of frontier life men get to know one another so tl'oratjglily and so T'eil that the foibles.8veakiiesses and waywardness of the animal are apt to lt' far more prominently mentioned in garrison chat than his sterling or lovable trails. Suie men, it may 1 said, have to die before their virtues can be in the least appreciated. More than once had the major closely intern gated his wife as to tiie reason of her statement. Had the young fellow dared to sjieak to Winifred without first asking his ermissiou? Had Winifred dared to fall iu love liefore but no, that was impossible, -What makes you think she cares for him':" "How do you kuowr -Why should he care for him anyhow?" were the impati--nt questions that rose t.". his lips. To one and all tdie had simply replied that she knew lie--ause she knew woman's unanswerable rea.-n. No, Winifred had not told her. They had never exchanged a Word upon the subject. Xo, Mr. Brewster had not t-H.kcn, if by that was meant of love or marriage, for Winifred would have told heron the instant. But half a dozeu other people had spoken. The whole garrison could see he vrns deeply in love with her. Every glance, word, gesture, act, told the fctory with unerring cer tainty. -Is there a day, is there an liour. when it is ic-ible for Liu to see her, speak with her. that le is not by her side?" asked Mrs. Berrien. "Yon must realize it, major, and yon must de cide what should lie done. She likes him well, that I know, for she is ever ready to dance with him or ride with Lint, and I can s-e how her eyes brighten snd her color rises when his step or his voire is heard on the veranda." -B'vt, confound it. V which ws lunch nearer madam's prop-r name 'he hasn't tnytiting but his pay." Mrs. lVrrien bug!n-d softly, "Hut. Richard, dear, evi u tii::i !. tn liieiit has iH-cjtMoanliy lx-ea ov-rI Hiked." "Oil. of coarse. Exuclly. I know. Neither liatl'I. Tluit is what Vou ii; ,.u. 1 sujijios.-. But things were diil.-rciit then." -(J ranted agaiu, Uick verv different: so much-bo tliat were things as tiiey lts-d to In; I Would be Utterly oppor-cd to li- r tuarryiiig in tae army:" This U ing ju-,t exactly the view the major had not taken, he could onlv taro at her iu a--toi:ishment. '"Bess, what on caith do you mean?" '.Int what I My, liichard. I like T.bat I've mvu 'f Mr. BrewstT very u.uch. and I d;n"t wonder Winnie fan cies him. He is a gentleman; he is a J:ai?

"I'm Loping to exchange. -You can't, Dick. Nobody will traus . fer with you who or.ee gets into the Twelfth. And tow as to Winifred. You always liked Mr. Brewster. You rather preft rrcd Lim until lately. Yt'Lat Las chaiigel j our view 1 Ixothfng. except why why, IlWs, von must have Keen or heard, for ono thing, this affair with Mrs. .you know." "As utterly one tided an affair as ever was knon u." said Mrs. Bt rrieii stoutly. "I lielieve I can see clear through it. 1 despise the woman, fcha has always made a dead set at some one of the of ficers stationed here, I aui told. She was just as nlisnrd about Mr. Martin, of the Eleventh every Ik k'.v says so in town and she picked out Brewster because he was the LaiiJsouu-st of the new lot iv he a our rcgimcut catac- in. Ask any one you choose, and I think my view will hold good. Ask Captain Roife what he thinks, and he and Mr. Brewster aro not on friendly terms." -I have asked Rolfe; 1 asked him only this evening," replied Berrien, tnruius redder, "anil he begged- to be excused from expressing an opinion." -Why?" -Well, he wouldn't say, but he Lad seen something or other that we hadn't, and he doesn't like Brewster. I can't have a man maki. g love '.o Winnie one minute and that kalsomiued creature the next. I wi.-h there were no dance tonight. I want to bc Rolf e again. Who takes Ler?" -Mr. Brewster, of course, ne asked her two days ago. whea the affair was first projected. He is iu the parlor now, but so are all the others." The major stepped over to the win dow and began thrumming wuh Lis pudgy fingers upon the pane. Ail the joviality and gladness seemed gone from his face". The lights were already be ginning to twinkle in the quarters across the jiarade, and darkuess, "waft ed downward like a feather," was shut ting out the long line ct shadowy bluffs beyond the stream. Down stairs be could Lear the sound of joyous chatter, the deep voices of the men mingling with the rippling, silvery laughter he knew and loved so well. How happy the child seemed! How she loved the regiment and gloried iu Lis profession! How prond she was at school of the pho tographs he had from time to tima sent of Lis brother officers, and how the other girls, her letters declared, envied her liecause she was a soldier's daughter and had lived on the wild frontier. He could Lear the sound of other girlish voices, too, Winifred's friends from town, but he found that Lis ear listened only for hers. How blithe and musical and full of hope and gladness it seeuied. How lovely she looked as she came down dressed for dinner just as he re turned from that odd, constrained talk with Rolfe. IW Rolfe! he was given over to the blue devils now, sure enough. He and Keuyon and "Pills," the doc-tor, formed a triumvirate of symtiathetic souls, for fince Jennie and -tiie kids" Wi.nl gone Holden's life seemed to liave fallen into the sear and yellow leaf. Keuyon, as in duty bound, was mak ing the circuit of the garrison returning calls just now, bnt Rolfe went nowhere except the doctor's. There lie could be found almost every evening, for ever since Nita Guthrie's visit the walls of the old house seemed charmed to him. -Begad,'" said the major, -I'll slip over there tonight myself, while the rest of the folk are dancing. I want to see what it is he is holding back." F.r the life of hiiu lie could not lie re pellant in manner to Brewster when he went down stairs. The three young fellows honored with invitations on this particular evening were Brewster, Ran dolph and Ridgeway. Brewster le cause he was to 1? Wiuif red's escort to the hop, the others lurause they had made the best of matters and invited the other girls, Eidgeway, be it known, not without inward exasperation. He fancied Miss Kitty Penuoyer as a suli stitute for inifred Berrien about as much or as little as one is content with a back seat when he cannot have a box. But it kept him -in touch with the Louse," so to sjieuk. and gave him opportunities at least of occasional word with the beautiful girl whom be so admired. He knew he was no match for Brew ster so far as physique or reputation was concerned, but then girls Lad been known to prefer patrimonial estate to personal charms, and he meant at least to try the effect of Lis solid qnalitica tions as against those which made Brew ster so attractive to the sex. He knew the major liked him well enough, and he thought he could count on the good oics of Mrs. Berrien, but he was not so eure iiln.ut Winifred. When the jovial major appeared he was iu readi ness to jay Lis respects ai once, and was cordially welcomed by tl:at red faced veteran; so was Randolph; and th.-n there stood Brewster ut WniiiH-'s side, lioth, as it so happened, looking straight at him. -Well, by Jove, they do inak an al most ideal coirile!" he said to himself. Brewster fair, stalwart, straight and HiLiielly. a picture of manliness and vigor. Winifred dark, yet with so rich a glow mantling the soft, creamy skin, with such glorious, deep Lrowu-b!sck eyes, so lovely and slender and graceful a form. Ucr shaely head r-cem.-d ju.-t on a level with his broad shoulder, and something he liad Ix-eu saying to her ia g Jow tone just as the others were greet ing her father had sent the blood surg ing to her cheek. B?rricn thought she had never set wed f.o beautiful, even ia his fond eyes. For the first time he be gan to realize it was a woman, l.ot a child, who stood before Liu. No won der Brewst-. r lovtsl her WVU his whole soul. Why. if he didn't! Pshaw! what was he thinking of? -1 low are you, Brewster, lad? (Had you're hen- sot-ally. Your troop made my eyes dance this afternoon." Oh, surrender iguominiou::! !So ended hi effort to be. rv'peEcut. How could he be. with Winii'rcd's ft eyes lockirg at Lim so wistfully, so 1 m.Ih? And it v.a ' good to ice Brewster's ap preciaiioii ' the veteran's allusio:i to his troop. (i rl.ain, the captain. Lad ln-eu away on leave for some weeks, during which ti::.e the lieutenant had had com mand, and, soldier that he was. had done bis utmost to ii.ipro'.e the drill a:;d ef ficiency i f his men. It was ab .at ti.fr only trc p that did not come ia for a rasping of some kind ct the ban iif ;hj colonel tiiat afternoon, and ljciug in Berrien's battalion reflected credit cf coarse upon the major. Brewster's eyes liad kindled and he Lad lowered Lis sa ber iu glad acknowledgment of the brief words of commendation that fell from Farquhar's bjis as be completed his rigid inspit tion of the equipment of the glos--y blacks, and the major Lad supple mented the worth by a nod ami a glance that spoke volumes. But while all this was a joy to his soul, it was as nothing as compared with U-ing praised by her father in her hearing. At that precise moment Carroll Brewster stood the tiap piest man within the limits of a crowdt d county. And now at ten o'clock the hoprooin was well fillet!. A number of pleasant jHt ple had driven out from town. All the garrison girls were there-, is'k t cf j the t Iders anions the mammas, a'l the j juniors amo.ig the matrons, arid ti.P ihaice went merrily on. D. lihtful mu sic the orchestra of tin Tv.-lftli was rvor ready to play, end iLij si,Lt their loader seemed inspired. The aair wji-t entirely informal. No written invita tions Lad been sent out. OSi.-ers were all in undress uniform, but. with few exceptions, all were there, and tiie broad stripes of bcarlet or yellow or white were to lie seen everywhere throughout the room. Mrs. Berrien, a smile of motherly pride in her Lantlsome dark eyes, was chatting pleasantly with the wife u" a local magnate, who could not fciy enough about Winifred's grace and beauty, and the gaze of both women seemed to follow the child as she ap peared literally to float over the smooth ly j.lished floor, just lightly borne on Brewster's stalwart arm. It was one of the oldest and sweetest of the Strau-w waltzes that was being played at the moment, "Geschichten a us dciu V.'ien erwald," and slowly reversing end turning, with the eyes of more than half the stiectators and wall flow ers upon them, Brewster and Winifred : were now gliding across the r.nier.; ud ' ..f hall within a few feet of t!e smiling row of lookers on. ahiurt with in touch of the mother's hand. His face wore a look no woman could for an in stant mistake. His eyes, full of pas- bionato tendenie:, were fixed at the iu stant upon her lovely face. His lips were moving. Something was being said. There is one couple at least that is utterly lost to the rest of the world. naid Mrs. Vance, for of a sudden the lovely upturned face was bowed almost upon Lis arm, aud the deep, dark eyes were veiled, aud the soft flush seemed to l-n ihrou.-h the creamy skin to her 1 s, verv temples. -Oh, has that fellow Ridgeway no sense whatever?" she continued, with all a woman's horror of au interrupted love scene, for at the instant Ridgeway had darted forth, watch in hand, with a tri umphant shout: -Time! My half!" And without a word, with one swift upward glance into Brewster's longing eyes a glance fairly brimmiug over with meaning Winifred released her self from the half encircling arm and ulaced her hand on Ridgeway's sleeve. Another moment and she was being whirled away under the guidance of verv different partner. "Miss Berrien's fan," said Brewster, bowing a moment later before her mother. "I was charged to place it iu vour hands." His heart was beating high. The music seemed thrilling throbbing through his veins. He longed to hold forth both hands and say: -Read mv secret. Know my heart! I love Ler! oh, I love her!" But there sat Mrs. Van Ness, the banker s wife, with broad syur pathy and approval glowing in her good liatured face. "Ah, Mr. Brewster, it wasn't easy to give up half that dance was it, now? Why do you do such things in tho army?" There were only four waltzes, Mrs. Van Ness," smiled Mrs. Berrien. "Mr, Brewster had had one and had claimed this, and Mr. Ridgeway had had none at all, and Winifred aud I both thought he ought not to be denied entirely. It Is the only round dance he knows." Saying no word, Brewster had dropped behind Mrs. Berrien's chair, -He doesn't know that any too well," said Mr?. Van Ness to herself. Where could he Lave learned to dance?" The floor was crowded at the moment nud unusually slippery, so that reversing or avoidance of coliisiou was rendered the more difficult even for exjx-rts. Twice had Ridgeway bumped into somebody or other without grievous disaster, but now. as luck would have it, came catastrophe. Iu the effort to check himself sudden ly just as lie seemed sliooting into con tact with a slender light battery man whom he coald nt have touched had he tried, the young fellow's feet flew from under Lim, Left to herself, Winifred would do more have fallen than a bird. Drowning men clutch at straws and poor, rich Eidgeway 's instant impulse on feeling himself going was to clasp L-r the tighter, dragging her with him in his ignominious crash. His tumble was 1-ad enough, though he was unhurt, but hers was worse. With violent shock her head struck the iiolished floor and the rooin swaia arouml. A dozen men flew to aid her, but Brewster seemed to have seen it coming. He leaped through the air and. be tiding over the prostrate Ridgeway, had her up in his strong amis and over at the window befvre another Laud euuhl touch her. "Quick, Hunt, some water!" be or dercd, bis teeth tirmly set. Then Low his eves softened as he looked down into her pallid face! -Oh, my darling, hit jarling!" he murmured in tliat little, shell iike ear; and then, with wild anx ietj iu her eves, Mrs. Berrien burst through the syuiiatbetie circle, It was all over in a moment. The music never ceased. She was stunned only for an instant, aud then, though Mrs. Berrien would have interposed, like the little heroine she was, Winifred was on Ler feet and Lolding out Ler Land to oor, bewildered, miserable Ridge v.'av. -But come, we must finish tbe dance," she said, and in so sayijiif riveted fLe caaius of Lis serfdom. -I wouldn't dance with Lim again f-'i 1 Mrs. auce, wuo had en opinion to express on every subject. "Why, Le almost broke her Lead. -If she didn't she'd break his heart, Mrs. Vance," was old Keuyon's reply, as Le watched rhe scene. "That girl's a lady." "Am I not to be honored tonight, Mr. Brewster?" said a low voice iu his ear .'is be stood silent, anxious, preoccupied by Mrs. Berrien's side. Lis eyes follow ing Winifred about the room. The very intonation made him turn cold. -I beg your pard'., Mrs. Knowles; 1 saw only a moment ago that you were here." She was leaning on her husband's arm. "Not half a bad fellow if he is a blind fool." said those of Lis own scs who knew him. Years her senior, Le wt yet her slave. Witness Lis coming out from town this late NovciitU-r night solely at her liehest to attend a dance to which lieith'.r was bidden. "Ah, I wonder yon s.-nv at all, my friend, with tiiat vision l-fore your f yes; and I presume that was why you tad no time to come in person with your invitation." "No invitations are sent out for these little dances, Mrs. Knowles." There, there, I'm not ,01:15 to up braid you here. Mr. Knowles, would you get 1110 a glass of watt 1? Mr. Brew ster, will you nut present me to Mrs. B-rrien? We have exchanged calls, but I Lave not yet Lad tho pleasure." What could Le tio? The request w:is as audible to Mrs. Berrien as to him, and, eveu as she i-i-oke. Mrs. Knowles iKissed around in front cf him so us nl la'ist to face the major's wife, taking the introduction as a matter of course, lie glanced apjiealingly at Mrs. Berrien as he murmured tho name. lie blessed Ler iu Lis Leart of hearts for the calm courtesy with which she giveted the local celebrity.

She, dariug to speak of one so pure, so innocent, s:o utterly beyond Ler! Turning impatiently away, Le en countered Major Berritti's eyes fixed upon Lim with a look tnat was not gotd to s-ee. He stepped forward, hoping to explain, but Berrien, who had jnst en tered the room after au al-seuce of ever Lalf au Lour, whirled sharply aliotit, plainly indicating that he did not wish to sjK-ak. This was bad enough. lie Lad lieeu mar the seventh heaven of bliss. He had almost touched the gates of jiearL Now they were receding through clouds and darkness, fading iu the distance. But worse was to come. Mrs Knowles had seated herself by Mrs, Berricu's side, pouring forth rapid compliment and coulideuce. The uiusu; Lad ceased. Ridgeway, with WinifreJ on Lis arm, was approaching slowly, checked every moment by man or woman, who begged to Lear that she was not shocked or seriously hurt. It was not until she was within a few yards that Winifred caught sight of her mother's companion caught sight of the faint gesture and the warning in Ler mother's eyes. Then she pressed Ler escort's arm and turned Liui away. "Oh, do call Miss Winifred here. 1 so long to meet Ler, Mrs. Berrien," cried Mrs. Knowles; ami what could Mrs. Berrien do? The flush died out of Win ifred's cheeks, the soft luster from her eyes. Obedient to her mother's il will ing summons, she stood before the lady from town, but she stood erect, and there was not the faintest cordiality in her maimer. The long lashed lids droop ed over her eyes as she bowed to tho elder woman, but her hand, to Ridge way's delight, refused to withdraw from his arm. No one saw more plainly than did Mrs. Knowles that nothing could be more unwelcome than that introduction; and it stung her to the quick. Chocking the fulsome flatteries that were ready on her tongue, she said: -I could not go. Miss Berrien, without saying how frightened I was for yon and how glad to see yon were not hnrt." Tlien, turning languidly, "And now, Carroll, will you take me to the car riage? Somebody can call Mr. Knowles". Good night, Mrs. Berrien. Do come and see me." And, taking Mr. Brewster's nnoffered arm, she led him down the brightly lighted and observant room. Vonttnuctl Xcjrt Wak.) A Kich If an' 1 Amusement.

IjlsI year, before tiie dcpai'ent of agriculture wa organized upou its present hnsi, and i only a state hoard, with Mr. Kdge ns it secretary, the ex pense of the work undertaken by it az uregated Jlt;,.Vio; $.i,.Vk) of this amount wa used for farmer' institute-. The annual appropriation for expenses of members of the board is according to the pres ent membership, this gives a per capita rate of f?J7., niuch below the former ap propriation of tho lioanl, when tho amount often reached fT per member. This decrease per capita i due to the in creased membership iu tho Ixiard with out a corresxinding increase of appro priation. Under the authority of the 1 mart I six regular agent wcreappointcd toexamine fertilizers. The fee for the analyse were determined by the executive committee and in 110 case exceeded seventy-five per cent, of the usual price paid for stieli ser vices. Ijtst year these agents returned to the board l,7i" samples; 1.2il were of complete fertilizers, 'M were of ground Umeaiid were of South Carolina rock. A these samples were taken at complete random it is probable that of the fertiliz er on sale in Pennsylvania seventy-three per cent. U-long to the class called "com plete," while fourteen per cent, are ground bone and thirteen per cent. South Carolina rock. Iist year there were li censed and recorded for sale in this state Htl distinct brands of fertilizers, of which . were "complete," 1(15 were ground bone, !)'! were South Carolina r.n-k, -ft I were alkaline bono. The work of this analysis has been performed by IT. Wil liam 1'rear, of the Pennsylvania state ex perimental station. l4tclt analysis was made in duplicate to avoid all error. Thirty-two tliotiaqnd copies of thi result of these analyst's have lieeu sent out to farmcis anil tltose using fertilizers for their U-iitl-tati I protection. One of the most tliili.-uU problems en countered by tiie lmard i tho prevention of tho re:id of contagion tliseuseamong animals. Many of the farmer whose animals are aillicled with some epidemic are comparatively jKr ajid strenuously protest against the kii'iutr of tho cmvs, horse or sheep. T oo iate this ilillicnl ty the Imard was authorized in 1-!I to pay for tiie aiiiinttls tint killed. U i Mated that "A a rule cattle are far too crowded. In only three farm out of twelve especial ly examine! wa any aitempt made at ventilation, ami even in those three; it was more in name than in fact. In not a single tiarn visited was there any provision made for the admission of fresh air." The reort also gives tho results of some important experiments tried at the State collcgo agricultural experiment station. From these it appears that w hen theaver agep;i.t cf tl; foed consumed per cow each day was l i 'J cent an increase of i.j cents in tho otisj of their rations produced an initroaso iu the vaiucof the butter pro duct of .Vlor a net tfaiu of 11 cent per cow, amounting to J5. cents per day for a herd of i"i cow or 7i'iH per year. A further increase of i7 ceiil per day in tho food, making the total f.md cost cents, gave no further increase in the butter product and was therefore fed at a hiss. Last year fifty-nine glandered horr-. were c.Hidciniied and killed. Nineteen of these case were in Wiikesbarre and the value of them was F-xpt-rimcnt s enis to pro", c that in com petent hands ;:tuii-LHtir' is a sans and tire diai:iotit: a-jciit for tu'ir-: -1 :sis.

A regards the' forests of this state, we find that l' year ago there were i'.lli'., I ) ai-rcs of t:nil-r land. This amount had lieen reduced by best year to less than 7.U I, ami of that amount not more than 1,i5I,ik acres are valuable.
