"Of course, I'm glad to seo you," sho begun. "Frank, my brother, was telling 1110 all about ycu this morning, How nauilsoum ana nice you wero, and nil that, you know," sho added hastily, fearing that ho might, with tbo cunning of tho insane, guess tho purport of hor brothor'e communica tion. Tho gentleman stood gravely re garding hor; ho did not look danger ous, and tho great wuvo of pity Unit swopt over tho girl's heart sont Ilia tears to her heart. If sho could but seen 10 him in sonio way not for the reward, 110 such unworlhv motlro movod hor, but to aavo him from aim legs, helpless wandering, perlinp from douth, and to rcstoro him to his friends.

"I shouldn't tlilnk such steep stair rery couvoiiloiit," said tho goutlomui. Oh! dear, no, you are right, Thoy are not convenient," replied Mlsi Chapin quickly.

Sho began to feel a sense of relief, almost of exhilaration. Then tliu fuce of her prisoner appeared bohlnd the seroen in tliu small squaro ventilator in the wall near tho door. Ho watched her a moment or two beforo attracting her attention. 'I have put tho jar whero you told me to," ho said, "now ui iy 1 0111110 out?" "Oh! do stay a littlo longer, plcaso.

"Why, May," ho began, ''whoro Is Harry?

"1 I'm afraid I have, Frank," sho stammcrod. "He ho is shut down cellar with tho vegetables. 1 thought it was tho insane mini." And without another word, but with nil ril-gct-ovon-with-you look at her brother, sho run up Iho stairs, followed by Frank's shouts of laughter, and shut herself into hor room. Half uu hour later Curllo tupped at tho door. 'Come down, now, May," sho said. "Frank has snioothod tliu way for you and has left Mr. llriston In tho parlor nlono. Come, you must apol ogl.o beforo, " with a spiuo of nils, chief In her tono "you go to Cousin Mason's." May wont down, and, as Frank aftorwards said, mado her apologies liko a man.

At botween the two common methods of preserving hay and grain from damage after they liavo been harvested and properly cured, storing under tho shelter of a good barn will unquestionably result lit the loast loss. It It, however, quite ofton necessary to slack at least a portion of ono ot both from tho want of enough barn room. In such ensoa it Is highly Im portant that the stacks should 4 be properly constructed, lloro the safety of tho grain or hay depends largely on the expertness of the man who builds tho stack. Any farm hand cau pitch hay or sheaves of grain from a wagom but unless tho stacker Is a"inuuof somo experience In tho busineM.and with a good eyo for proportions ntid outlines, the stack is qulto ccrtnin to bo faulty in shape, and probably to lopsided that one-half of It will ofl'or but littlo resistance to rain. Whllo tho shapo of a slnclc Is very Important, tho manner of laying on the liny or sheaves whilo building it Is equally so. In all cases tho centre of tho slack should be kept tho highest, so that tho Inclinoof tho sheaves or forkfuls of hay at they nro' laid on shall bo outward. Again, liny should not bo trumped down on tho stuck In wads mid rolls, but should fall flat from Iho fork so ns to muko ns com pact nud water resisting a body as possible. When a slack lins oeen properly topped oil and presents no rough or jagged outlines from top to bottom, it allords quito a tafo method for pro tecting cither hay or grain that cannot bo cared for in a burn Clover is more liable to uumngo and harder lo bo protected from wet in stacks than aro tho liner-stemmed liny grasses, and whoro thcro Is only room for one variety of hay in the barn it is best to put Iho clover Into tho mow.
