O 00000000000000000000000000 I had fallen in with Leon Messerve up the Mediterranean, and it was more than eight months before we got back to Paris. lie was a younfc man of 25, educated, well off. a jolly companion and a good friend. We had rooms to gether In Paris, and we had been living together for a month when lie received word from his notary one day that ho was financially ruined. I never did learn the full particulars, but it seem ed that an estate he had fallen heir to had a defective title and after a legal contest passed to another. As Leon's sole Income had been derived from the revenues of this estate, he was left tint. At the time he heard the news he did not have a hundred dollars In cash. Of course I did my best to console him, but he was proud and sensitive aud would be under obligations to no man. After a two hours' talk, in which noth ing was settled except the fact that he ■would not accept a loan from me, great or small, he went out without saying ■when he would return. When three days had passed without Messerve returning or sending word, 1 became so anxious that I went to I WAS LOCKED UP IN THE HOUSE OF DE TENTION. his notary for Information. Nothing could be learned of him there. I ipent two days wandering about In the hope of catching sight of him, aad a private detective In my employ spent three more, but we got no trace. Then, fearing that he had made away with himself and by the advice of the no tary, I went to the police. To my great amazement, uo sooner had my story been related than I was put under ar rest aud our joint apartments were searched from top to bottom. When I Indignantly protested, the Inspector an swered : "He was your friend. You are the last one who saw him. You must pro duce bim or lie under the suspicion of having encouraged him to self mur der. Perhaps you wanted to rid your- Belf of him when you found that h« was ruined." I sent for the notary, but he was noncommittal. He was evidently afraid of the police. lie did say that Leou considered ine his best friend and that I had been very anxious about his disappearance, but there was no hearti ness in his defense of me. All the sat isfaction that I could get from the American minister was that he would watch the case. I was "officially de tained" for being accessory to the mysterious disappearance of Leon Messerve. I was arrested for inter ference with an officer in discharge of his duties, although I had simply pro tested. Further, I was put under sur veillance as a suspicious person. All this meant that I was locked up In the bouse of detention while the police went hunting, not for the missing man, but for evidence to incriminate me. I could have got bail, but as I was not ft. citizen of the country ball was ro lused. I was willing to employ ageuta to make further search for my friend, but this was not allowed. Even the notary was forbidden to make any move In that direction. For seven weeks I was a prisoner, while the police had charge of my apartments and would give me no news whatever. The lawyer 1 employed said that we must let the law take its course—that Is, we must watt until the officials of the law got ready to let me prove my innocence. If I couldn't prove that I was not accessory to the missing man's suicide, then it would go hard with me. There came a day at last when 1 was arraigned in court. It was not on the main charge, but on that of obstructing the law. I had simply asked the inspector what he ex pected to find in my apartments to show whut had become of my missing friend. That was made out to be "ob structing," .md I wus lined a sum equal to about S2(». The ni'Xt day I was brought up on another charge. It was my doty under tlie law to have notified the police ut once of I-eon's disappear ance. but 1 had waited several days be fi * ' - vn. Heing derelict in my > . ' tied *7. There was still I had employed pri- Vi, lv . .i when I should have no tified the regular police. This was holding the law in contempt. It was clearly within the province of the court to line me for that, but as I was a stranger in France and had not been found guilty of any criminal offense this clia 're would lie overlooked.

Two years away and his s!;ip paid oft today! It would not be many hours be fore her lover's burse pounded along its famous course. I*"or famous it was. Trafalgar was yet to be fought, and few days closed without u detachment of soldiers swinging past, coaches flashing by crowded In and out with men whose trade was war. returned marines with a cargo of prize money and Intoxicants pursuing their Jovial way or a success ful press gang hurrying to the sea. Millie Ankerdlne's eyes danced as she leaned over the bridge in an eager as pect of listening. There was a quick tearing, a slight thud, an arrested cry, and broken fragments of ice and wood work floated upon the dark water over her head. "What the devil's all this noiso about?" muttered Mr. Ankerdiue tes tily as an unaccustomed clamor pene trated to his study and attracted him forth to seek its import. Before the great hall fire, the once breezy drapery of a dinner dress oozing dark pools and steaming lazily, lay his daughter. A stranger, rills of moisture trickling from each fold of his cloth ing. was chafing her hands and vocif erating for assistance, lie ceased sud denly as her father appeared, with servants at his heels, anil stood back beyond the play of the tirelight. Mr. AnkerdUie knelt down beside her as she showed signs of recovery. "1 have to thank you for rescuing my daughter, I suppose, sir," he said to the stranger. "The best kind of gratitude Is the practical. You must be made comfortable Orst, and 1 can din you with words after." The man had no time to answer. A post chaise dashed up to the porch with a groaning of leather and jingling of harness, a broad shouldered young fel low completely enveloped in a huge wrap precipitated himself rather than got out of the vehicle and gripped the old man by both hands, exclaiming: "How's the gout, sir? And where is Millie—not here to welcome me?" "At the bottom of the pond but for this gentleumii," said Mr. Ankerdine. "I must Introduce you when I— Ilello!" he gasped In a species of stupefaction, for the gallant stranger had slipped out Into the night, aud Lieutenant lilgden, his daughter's prospective husband, had started In pursuit. The first man, stimulated by the slow diffusion of warmth as his limbs coursed with blood again, held his own at first, but was soon captured. "You must come back with me, M. de Frontignac," said the young sailor. "It is the fortune of war." "Again the fortune of war?" replied the Frenchman. "A cold fortune at present, mon ami." He fell Into step beside his companion without resist ance. "Millie has asked for you," Mr. An kerdine obsorved dryly as the pair reached the house. "She appeared sur prised that you should prefer scouring the country at midnight to greeting her. However, each to his taste." The sailor deferred apologies aud led the way to the drawing room at once, locking the door and placing the key in bis pocket—a maueuver which did not escape the young lady's notice and add ed a spice of alarm to the shy affection with which she returned her lover's caress. "Why did you do that, Edward?" sho whispered anxiously In his ear. "Is there danger outside, or is that a bad man? I fell Into the pond, and he jumped in, too, on this freezing night and saved my life, dear!" "Thank God It was saved, little girl," he replied. "But that this gentleman should have been the agent rather com plicates matters. We must at any rate thank him, Millie. So first let me intro duce In form the Count de Froutlgnac, captain in the navy of republican France. Monsieur. 1 have the honor to present my fiancee." The French man now advanced and bent over the slim fingers extended. "My good luck lias not been entirely dead, then, that I could render even so small a service to so gracious a demoi selle," ho said. "Why, you are soaking, sir!" exclaim ed the girl. "How wicked you are! 110 will die!" "One moment, Millie!" exclaimed Rlgdcn. "There are more important Questions than those of etiquette nnd raiment to be discussed. That this gen tleman Is brave, you will know from what he lias done tonight more than brave, for he risked almost certain death by discovering himself to save you. But he will lie as dangerous to succor. His frigate was captured re cently by a Hrltish squadron, and he was to be sent, along with the prison ers, to London under escort. I as sume he lias escaped and is attempting to reach the coast. Millie, this man preserved to me all I hold dear, blit he Is one of my country's most active enemies." "Perhaps you are mistaken," said Millie, with a woman's readiness to es cape wide questions by a side Issue. "No mistake <>ere," said Kigden, with a short laugh. "1 was oue of his cap- 1 tors, aud the last time we met was upon his quarter deck." Millie drew her lover aside and * placed her hands on his shoulders. The ; Frenchman was staring into the lire, -j "Lidward, you must let him go and help him too. Is this mau's honor or woman's gratitude to drag him back to a dungeon? If so. noble deeds were better unacted and will be If they are j to be repaid as we would repay this." "Listen, Millie," said the young man In a very low voice. "This gentleman i Is an Important capture to lose, and by j restoring him to the authorities I am '■ certain of recognition, which means a ' ship and—a—wife." "This Is what I had begun to fear," j she said breathlessly. "You must not let it scale one featherweight in the balance. We owe him my life, and not the broad pennant of an admiral would cover the blot on your honor if yop give him up. Edward, can you?" lie hesitated only for a minute, then turned around and said curtly: "Venus luls triumphed, monsieur. I will search you to see that no papers are concealed.

For three months In the winter Arch angel, the great western port of Rus sia. scarcely sees the sun and for three months iu the summer seldom loses sight of it. Yet there Is uo city Iu the whole of Europe which lies for so many mouths—for the greater part of the year, in fact—uuder a mantle of snow, and because of this the Russian fondly calls it "The White City." White, too. is it lu other ways. All the chief buildings glare with white paint and blink with white blinds. The churches—and lu a Russian city they are not few—are also of pure white; only the cupolas are greeu and the crosses ou their summits gold. And white are the private houses of the better sort, except where Norwe gians and Germans live, for buff and blue and red then streak and diaper the plue walls and edge of the gablo ends; but street posts, gates, pillars, walls, fences—these are all white. And lu summer for every official you see In a blue or a gray tunic you see ten In white caps and white uniforms. Bright color alone Is left to the wom en and children—pink blouses, green skirts, scarlet petticoats, orange aprons and blue kerchiefs are common enough, while a group of children will always look like a cluster of old English flow, ers.

Not until the visitor to England mounts to the top of a coacli does he have any conception of the glories hid den behind those brick battlements which make every Englishman's home veritably a castle. What a revelation of beauty they are! Now it is seen that the reverse side of the vine clad wall forms the most effective of back grounds for the gay flowers In the har dy border. Hollyhocks stand up like sentinels against the ivy, huge oriental popples splash their wonderful color among the shrubbery, roses Tairly in toxicate the senses where they climb over the half timbered Elizabethan houses and tangle themselves with the clematis in wild profusion over the arches that span the trim garden paths. During a day's ride on top of a coach one will see hundreds of enchanting gardens. During quite a long walk along the same road one would not even suspect their presence because of the universal wall were not an occa sional gate left ajar, thereby offering a surreptitious peep.

Annul Josun WoonnLtir THE LEAF ROLLER Tnjarlonii to Itnwberrjr Plant. When nml How to Trent It. There are a mmilter of species of small caterpillars that feed upon the foliage of strawlierries and a number that fold or web up the leaves Iu whole or In part, but there Is only one that oe- j cms In such numbers as to be really I Injurious. This Is the larva of the lit- j tie moth pictured, many times Its nat- | ural size. In the cut. I>r. J. B. Smith of New Jersey pre- 1 sents this original sketch of the moth - FOLDED LEAFLETS—LEAP HOLLER MOTH. and that of leaflets folded by single larva; In a recent report in which he says: The moths make their appearance In the strawberry field during the first half of May. In au ordinary season they may be looked for almost any time after May 1. The eggs are pale green In color, almost exactly like the underside of the strawberry leaf, and are almost Invisible to any but most careful examination. When the young caterpillar hatches, It must make a Journey from the underside of the leaf on which It was born to the upper side of the same or another leaf, and It feeds for a day or two at least, prac tically exposed upon an open surface. Moths may be found on the vines until late in May or even in early June. Then they disappear, and during the first days of June the presence of the larva* becomes noticeable. Increasingly so as the month advances. As soon as It is hatched the little cat erpillar makes its way to the upper side of a half grown leaf where the sepa rate leaflets are not yet fully expanded and stretches Itself along the midrib. It eats Into the midrib or along the side close to It, and very soon the up per faces of the leaflet or lobe are brought together and held iu place by numerous silken cords, while the Insect spins a partial tube or lining inside, in which it lives for the balance o£ its life. It has been shown that Just after It Is hatched and while the larva is yet very small It wanders from Its place of birth to the upper side of the leaf, feeding here a. d there, before settling down. It must be the object of the grower to poison the foliage so early In the season that when the young caterpillar starts feeding it can find no foliage that It can safely cat Therefore as soon as moths are found flying lu fair numbers spray with parls green or some other arsenlte. As the plants grow rapidly and new leaves are being constantly added, spray again a week later and a third time the week thereafter. This will catch the great bulk of the caterpillars that would become Injurious In June. A single spraying will do compara tively little good, because the moths extend the egg laying period over so long a time. The first larvie are al most full grown before the last eggs are hatched. The actual date of spray ing depends upon the season and the time of appearance of the moths. When the fruit Is well advanced, all poisons must be of necessity kept off. The New Pen Peat. The new pest, the destructive pea aphis, has in the last two years Inflict ed enormous losses In various regions where peas are grown for canneries, as Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut Michigan and Wisconsin also have suffered from it Some of the scientists claim that it Is naturally more an enemy of clover than TOT DESTRUCTIVE PBA LOUSE. of peas. An encouraging feature noted In Canada Is that wherever the aphla •ccurred it was attacked by parasitic enemies, the most vigorous of these be ing the small orange larvee of a species of diplosls minute maggots which suck the Juice out of the body of the aphis. The "brush and cultivator" method of lighting the pea louse is accepted as the most generally effective. For this it Is necessary that the peas be planted In rows, and when the Insects are notic ed the tines are brushed backward and forward wlfh a good pine switch In front of a cultivator drawn by a slnglo horse. In this manner the plant lice **e covered up ns soon as they fall to the ground, and a largo proportion of them are destroyed. Peas sown late or on poor ground sustain most damage. The pea aphis Is sketched, many times enlarged. USEFUL FERTILIZERS. Hew Jeraer Statlen Formula* Fo* Various Common Crop*.

Time of Sowing; Tobaeeo Iced. There seems to be a general rule for sowing tobacco seed in each state with reference to the frosts which are likely to occur in the spring. Seed beds should be planted from six weeks to two months, according to the variety of the seed, before the latest date at which killing frost has occurred In the locality. This is for domestic seed. Imported Cuban seed should be planted a month later and Imported Sumatra six weeks later than acclimated seed. Very vigorous varieties of tobacco will grow large enough to transplant In six weeks. Other varieties will take from eight to ten weeks from the time of sowing the seed.—Butterweck.
