gone insane, and wheth.'r th'? attack
would prove to be n permanent soften
ins; of the brain or merely a temporary

A number of passpiisers had left the
train. They wen gathering en uiiisnl'
nround the portion of the level cross
lug which intersc' ted tin- lane.
"Now, then, here copies Orpelms nnd
Ills lady!" cr'.d u voice In the crowd.
For a moment the ynun man stared
about liliu with ever Increasing fears
for his own mental condition. Little
by little a light broke In upon bis
brain.
A few ynrdi only of line lay between
the engine nnd the level cross track
At the crosslnis stood the obstruction
In full view. It was a sum 11, aniiquat
ed poll phaeton, drawn by or, rather,
attnehed to n rotund 'white mare
The nuiuial was neither standing In
the usual and approved Httitude of her
kind, nor prostrate, as will sometimes
bsppen by accident. She was sitting
!.on lier glossy haunches, a calm
most blase, expression In ber brown-
.jreeti eyes,
The carriage was occupied by two
women. One of them, a stout, elderly,
niaideii-nuiit-loekiug person was en
enged In making voluble explanations
i a delighted crowd. The other, a
rl In white, who leaned back among
p cushions and laughed, In evident
..ljoyment of the situation.
At the sight of the girl Iteynolds
drew back, witli a little cry of aston
ishment, under big breath. Then be
ran forward, lifting his bnt.
"Why, Miss Terry! I'm tremendous
ly sorry to find yonahem delayed In
thl way. What is the trouble? Can
1 be of any assistance?"
The pleasure which exuded from flic
young man'a face wn not reflected In
that of the girl's.
"How do you do, Mr. neynohls!" she
aid. "I'd no Idea you were In this
part of the country. No, so far n I
tin concerned you can be of no assist
ance, I think. If the train people
want to try any experiments, of course,
they are welcome to do It for the ake
of getting tho train In motion. Aunt
Mllly," she added, turning to her com
lianion, "you have beard me speak of
Mr. Iteynolds? My aunt. Miss Withe
Mr. Beynoldn."
Miss Milly grasped bis bond with
warmth -which wna in striking con
trast to the chilly demeanor of ber
niece.
"So glad to make your acquaintance,
Mr. Iteynolds, though I must aay the
circumstances are not those I would
generally like to meet people under.
E'jcli an embarrassing position! J
wouldn't bare bad It happen for tbe
world. I never thought of Eliza be
having thla way on a railway, or I
should have been afraid to drive her.

"Lady," cried ton guard, elbowing
up, "we are ten minutes late now."
"Ten minutes lalcV How sorry I nm.
It is most unfortunate that Eliza
should relapse .iust now, w hen idle has
not sat down in years. It's Just like
her, n iiien.berlni; about sitting down
this morning when I am on my way
to the station to take lli'J train to Lon
don to see in y old friend Amelia Lewes,
intending to let my niece drive the
phaeton home. lint now 1 shall be
afraid to let Barbara return alone, nnd
Amelia leaves London for Liverpool at
one, and I would give the world to
see her, ns I may never see her again
for years."
"I am only going nround the curve
to the station," Iteynolds suggested;
"I urn en route for the Potter. It
would give me great pleasure to see
your nioce safely home."
"There Is no need In the world of
nliyone accompanying me!" said the
young lady with great decision. "Kliaa
would not hurt a fly. I really prefer
driving nlone."
"That is like you, F.arbara. Yon nre
nlwnys so brave," cried Miss Milly.
"But rcnicnilier, love, that I nm older
and more nervous mid since Mr. Key
nolds so kindly offers I accept for you,
Barbarii, mid I insist on you availing
yourself of hi kindness."
"You are perfectly right, Miss Blithe.
It would not be safe, to say tbe least,
for Miss Perry to attempt to return
bonis alone, and far from Inconvenienc
ing me, it would be a great pleasure,"
urged the young man.
He seated himself upon a fallen tree
trunk nnd slipped the cover from his
banjo, keeping his eyes fixed upon a
portion of the landscape where it was
Impossible for them to encounter the
eyes of Miss Milly's ulece.
A moment later a particularly viva
cious "Kule, Britannia," entered the
somnolent country atmosphere. Some
thing In the exultant strains of the
melody caused Miss Barbara to gather
ber pretty brows.
Elista, however, was unfelgnedly
pleased. At the first notes her ears
twitched, assuming an vprlght atti
tude -Hiiggestiro of earnest attention.
At "Britons, never, never," she turned
lier head nnd regarded the player with
what appeared to be unqualified ap
proval. Slowly gathering her forces
togothoT, she rose iu a dignified manner
at the first chorus, and drew the pha
etlon from the track.
The spectators cheered. The guard
shouted a warning, a general scramble
for seats ensued, and Miss Milly had
just time enough to ensconce the new
protector in the phaeton, while she
tools the vacant place In the train
When the last carriage had rounded
the curve and become lost to view with
Mis Milly's handkerchief fluttering
like a white moth from one of the rear
windows, Miss Perry gathered up the
reins.
"Do you mean," she snld, addressing
the empty air directly in front of the
phaeton, "that you will continue to
force yourself upon me the entire dis
tance home?"
"I promised Miss Blithe to take you
home in sufety, and, nf course, I mean
to ful til my promise."
Hut my aunt la gone now with a
perfectly easy mind. A child of two
mild drive Kliza, and I really prefer
going alone."
"I couldn't reconcile It with my con
science. un might met with gome
accident, nnd then how could I face
Miss Blithe? One never knows what
will happen especially in driving ex-
circus horses."
'If you nre determined to be so hor
rid, the best thing I can do la to get
home as soon as posuble," remarked
the young lady.
For some moments they drove on In
silence. When the voice came again
from the left-band of the phaeton it
bad undergone a change. It waa poal
lively humble.
"Please don't be ao hard on me," it
pleaded. "The temptation waa really
too much a whole ride with you wheu
I'd been trying for weeks to aee you
and couldn't."
As the whip band aide had nothing
apparently to add, the left hand re-
sumcd.
"you uon t know how sorry I wna
about that affair at tho seaside, and
bow I suffered after I cooled down, 1
admit It waa all my fault, and I wrote
to you begging you to forgive me. But
you eent tbq letter bnck unopened,
Isn t there anything I can do to win
hark your good opinion? I'd do any
thing yon aay, no nintter what."
You might get out of the carriage
ana allow me to go on alone. I should
really appreciate that," said the whip
nana with instant readiness.
Whatever the left baud Intended to
aay In reply waa left unsaid, for at
tbla point the phaeton stopped sudden
ly. Eliza waa alttlng down again.
Bey nolds fell back upon tbe aeat and
bowled. Tbe altuatlon soon proved
too much for bla companion alao. They
laughed together until Eliza cocked
ber eara In astonishment.
- "Obod old Eliza!" cried tbe yonng
man when be bad partially recovered
"She knows a thing or two. She won't
budge a atep until I play 'Hulo, Brit
annia.' and 1 will never play a note of
It until you Invite ma to accompany
you tne rest or the way,"
"Ton won't take t mean advantage
like that, turelyr
"Won't I, tbougb?'
'But this Is most unfair."
"AH la fair in war and "
Tlease play," she Interrupted,
quickly.
"Not a note. Are you going to Invite
me?"
"I nm not. I abnll start Eliza with
out you."
The nttempt .o set Eliza In motion
by alternate kindness and discipline
was a failure.
At the end of fifteen minutes Mlsa
Barbara returned to the seat, ex
hausted. "I aupnosp I must accede to your
demands," she said, "or I shall be here
permanently."
"Do you Invite me of your own free
will t ) accompany you home?" .
"Yes, I suppose so."
"Cordially?"
"You never said It mti3t be cordial.'
"It must certainly bo cordlaL"
"Well, cordially, then."
'I nm entirely nt your service," lit
nswered, opening the banjo case.
Five minutes afterward a rotund
bite mare Jogged easily along a
iiiriuing country lane drawing a pha-
ton which contained a man who
iiighod nnd n girl who protested, al
beit not wrathfully. that something
or oISkh- was n mean advantage and de-
stably unfair.

Alfalfa Cow Feeding. ' '' "'"
A dairyman keeping twenty-five
cows aays that while corn meal helps
to give the cow more flesh when fed
with alfalfa, he bas found alfalfa a
perfect food for milk cows, and for
most of the year be is able to keep bis
cows in fine condition and in full flow
of milk witli-nlfiilfa alone. He thinks
It Is the best food he ever law for
dairy cows, nnd feeds a little corn
meal only In late fall and winter and
till alfalfa comes on In the spring. He
soil feeds his summer alfalfa, but pas
tures It some In spring nnd fall. He
has found that bis alfalfa is a great
saver of expense in cow feedlug. In

Gains Fer Bushel,
It la well to keep in mind tbe facts
ascertained In feeding tests at the In
diana Experiment Station, and to be
sure that the pigs nre purely bred.
One of these facts of tbe test show
that thirteen and one-third pounds of
weight was secured In feeding one
bushel of corn when the pigs were six
to seve'ii month old, nnd when eight
months old a bushel made 12.G pounds.
The factors Involved were pure breed
ing and young shoats. ys pigs grow

weight to the bushel of corn fed. This

The English Sparrow Nnlsance,
There nre thousands of farmer
troubled with sparrows. In England
and Germany they hire boys to drive
tbe sparrows away, or trap and kill
them. A man in this city makes a
business of trapping them to sell to
sportsmen. He sells thousands of
them, but they do not seem to be
thinned out much. There seems no
way of getting rid of tbeni effectually.
Wherever there is food for them, as
In the harvest field or around the eb
vators, they will go and multiply.

The llest Hens.
No one should be satisfied with e.s

says a poultry writer, "there is no way
of knowing which of the hens are the
best unless theare closely observed.
Every ben that has a good record
should be marked and retained, not
only for laying, but for breeding pur
poses. The egg record would be mtii li
higher, nnd the flocks Improved every
year, if tbe farmer would keep only
the best hens from which to produce
the layers for another year. Vnfortu:

4?be writer recently observed a novel
manger for cattle, used in this case for
milch cows; it seems to have been an
original plan with the owner. The
drawing is a better explanation than
could be written. Either a chain or
halter can be used, but this device is
net adapted for cattle that have not
been dehorned. Hay and grain can not
easily be wasted from this manger,
while extra straw or sawdust bedding
may be shoved forward under tbe man
ger to be used In emergency. Stall!
are not necessary, but may be used if
desired, aa Is the case also with parti

The Mew Henhouse,
If a new bouse la to be built, we
should prefer a one-story building, al
ways facing tbe south. We would
build long and narrow, dividing the
Interior Into rooms twelve by aixteen
feet, with one large south window In
each room, aa near tbe centre of the
front as possible, and eighteen Inches
from the Door. This window should
be so arranged as to drop at tbe top,
to afford proper ventilation. Houses
should always be provided with floors,
unless tbe ground Is uncommonly bard
and dry, a dampness Is a sure breeder
of roup and canker. Each room, twelve
by aixteen feet, would accommodate
twenty fowls, which la our Ideal flock.
Whenever large flocks are raised, there
are always different grades and aizea
among tbe chicks, and If divided Into
twentiea, each grade can be placed by
Itself and much better results ob

Vnys to Trent Tlinn Well.
The writer is a persistent advocate
of cow grooming aud would as soon
tl.i'.ik of letting tbe cows gj without
a dully cleaning ns the holies. Dur
ing the Hummer only brushing is done,
and this work is performed directly
nt'ter the milking; the cows are nil tbe
better for It in every way. During the
winter the currycomb ns well as the
brush is used on tbe cows.
We have found that tha brushing re
moves soil from the animal and ren
ders her less liable to the attacks of
tiles. Then, we use one of the com
mercial compounds to keep the flies
olT, In addition to the brushing. The
result 1 that with plenty of good pas
ture, a stream of clear water, a grove
of trees for shade and freedom from
flies the milk supply Is all that could
be desired, the cows nre healthy and
happy and the dairy Is proCtnble,
It certainly pays to treat the cow
well and make them ns comfortable as
possible. Another point In the breed
ing of cows during the summer which
we discovered paid well. Every day
a few raw npples, vegetable tops and,
in season, n few potatoes that were
partially rotted or in some other way
unsalable nre tnkeu into the pasture
nnd each cow hns a portion; not much,
but just enough to give her a spice of
variety. Indianapolis News.
Teaching the Colt to Ilaclc,
The colt, like the boy, only know
what he Is taught, and tbe time to
teach both Is to begin when they are
young. Horse sense gives the follow
ing suggestions about teaching the
colt to "buck." It says, nmong other
things, that after it understands the
use of the halter In leading, it Is a
good time to teach It to back, by press
ing the extended fingers ot one hand
between the point of the shoulder and
the breastbone and using the other
hnnd at the halter strap to simply
keep the colt straight in line, to back
In tiny desired direction.
Don't try to force tbe colt backward
by yanking at the halter or bit, but
