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. I
was <hen given my liberty, with f
warnl'.ig to lie more circumspect in tii
fut ire. My attorney had not opene
hL'i mouth In my defense, but I had to
pay him n f< e of $25.
T'jKin being turned out of the court
room I made my way to my apartments
to find that Messerve had been home
for three (lays, but that the |Millce had
prevented liini from notifying me. He
had left the rooms fully Intending to
make an end of himself, but had en
countered friends, drunk with ' hem
and finally brought up In a gambling
house and won something like s'3j,tMNj.
This his friemls had taken care of for
him until he was once more himself.
He had scarcely related his adventures
and listened to mine when the police
came and arrested 'dra, and two days
later he was tried an<l convlc-Uid of the
charge of "raising a false and unneces
sary alarm and causing the otflcers of
the law unusual and unnecessary trou
ble." This was based upon the fact
that he had not committed suicide, and
he was fined S2O. I do not know that
the police would have brought further
charges, but 1 did not wait to give them
a chance. Bidding my companion adieu,
I packed up and crossed the channel
and left them to work It out on those
remaining behind. A few weeks later
I heard that the notary was in trouble,
but whether because he had notified
Messerve of his misfortune or for
breaking some other article of the code
I could not learn.

"Now," said the big buck deer to hU
eldest born. "I will show you a sight
that you never saw before and 1 am so
proud of that I feel like walking
around on my hind legs all the rest of
my life."
"Why," said the fawn, "It U a man,

"Yes," said the fawn's proud parent,
dragging out the carcass from behind a
tree, "and now, like a good little deer,

traveling in ICngiand with his cousin.
Bishop Richard Wilmer, when an Inci
dent occurred which shows Bishop Jo

The two bishops were being entertain

wife had all the musical talent and ac
complishment that any human being
tan possess. He Insisted upon a speci

apostolic cousins stood near l< ' plan*
Bishop Richard, recognlWqg »u.it a
compliment would be necessary and
difficult to make, quietly stepped back,
as most men do on such occasions,
leaving the position of honor to Bishop
Joseph, wondering what the end would
be after "the assault upon the Ivory
keys" might suddenly terminate In an
awkward selah. Bishop Joseph, like a
self possessed woman, with dignity
and sweetness of thought, spoke to tha
hungry soul of the adoring husband:
"Is that touch of your wife natural or
acquired?"
"Oh, It is perfectly natural," replied
the delighted spouse.
"1 thought It was," said the bishop,
"for I don't think such a touch could b«
acquired."--Living Church.

Tlie Dilemma of a Lover. T
BY E. BECICFORD. I
Framed iu the oaken porch <>f the old
Ankordlne inausiou a gill stood with
a thick wrap across her shoulders,
planclng to right and left with a alight
shiver and hesitating on the threshold.
"You're confoundedly mix ions, mad
am." snarled her father's voice behind
her. "I opine au ardent lover's Journey
will not l>e itcc-eU rated by your tramp

Miss Anlc.Ti'.ine made no reply, but
daintily with me small hand
a mass or skin that would have puz
fcbd a m ■:i tii g:a-p in Iwj large ohm,
threaded a way v. < ::ui tl iwcr ds ami

skinii< d liiinly ovt r and reth cling the
stars like a mirror. It w;is apauaed by
a rustic bridge, fragile ami worm l.itten.
I-'rom It ou a line day miles of open
country could l.e Heiinm-.l aero. - the

truuimeltHl iti> boiiiuhny. bill only at
rare interval* befoie it plunged into a
dip and disappeared.
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. Pardon me, there shall
be no Indignity, and duty, which has
come out something hardily In this en
counter. renders it necessary. Also
sotrie clothes are required aud food.
I will then do myself the pleasure of
putting you upon the safest route."—

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.

see In a blue or a gray tunic you see

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,

winter, this old city of Archangel is

Ilelilnd Enßlldh Wall*.
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. Everybody's

The Opnl Superstition.
There Is one superstition of wide
range and Influence that Is directed
against one of the most beautiful ob
jects In nature, the opal. A man in my
town failed in business, and what do
you think he did? Took his opal ring
into the yard and smashed It to pieces
with a hammer! He ascribed his bank
ruptcy to that opal, and he Intended
neither to suffer such misfortune again
nor to allow any other one to do so by
Inheriting or buying that HI starred
property.
One of the most amt'slng Instances of
a trust fti wrong things Is reported
from New York, where a man took an
opal to a Jeweler and asked him to sell
It, as he had had nothing but bad luck
since he owned It, his business ven
tures having failed, his chlldreu having
suffered Illness and the old scratch
having been to pay generally. The
Jeweler found the gem to have been an
Imitation. Its falsity must have been
obvious to everybody except the vic
tim, because the opal Is the stone that
has never been even passably Imitated.

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.

Practical Device For Distributing"
Food For Ho*a.
A method of setting a hog trough so*
a? to keep It clean Is shown In the at**
companytng cut from the Ohio Farm

inside of the pen or feeding lot. The
trough Is set just outside the lncloaure,
From 18 inches to 2 feet of the bottom
of the partition or fence, as the case
may be, is made to swing, being fas
tened by strong hinges to the parallel
boards above. When feed Is being
placed In the trough, this is allowed to

cured there by the lever whose lower
end catches on the Inside of the trough,
as shown iu the upper figure.
After th<# feed Is ready the lever 18
pushed to one side until Its lower end
clears the Inside of the trough, and the
partition Is then swung out and se-'
cured to the outer edge of the trough
by the lever again being pushed In po
sition. The lever Is attached to the
swinging partition by a single bolt.
This arrangement keeps the hogs away
from the trough until the feed is dis
tributed ready for them and also keeps
them from getting their feet In the
trough while eating.
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.
CnttlnK AiJHOgU,
The question of the propriety of cut
ting all or certain asparagus shoots as
rapidly as they appear and for a con
tinued time often arises, for It Is well
known that the continued cutting away
of all a plant's growth has a weaken
ing tendency at least, says Meehan'a
Monthly. As recently stated, most
gardeners cut all growth during the
first half of the season. But a corre
spondent of the London Gardening IU
lustrated recommends leaving all the
very light growth, that It may strength
en the plants for the following season,
and only cutting that which is strong.
