uDon herva sgf'@eg-t 'fee5f 1r5f
THE evening was passed pleasantly
and without restraint. No further alusion
was made to Capt. Holm, and Col. Red
ruth told stories of his Indian lite, charm
ing his hearers into forgetfulness of
Ingnatia's profiigate husband.
At about two O'Clock the next day, Col.
Redruth, 1gnatia and the little Georgia
took their leave of Miss Redruth, and
drove away from the Moor.
They were obliged to wait nearly an
hour for the mail down train.
The gray dusk was falling when they
steamed into the station at Huntingdon.
A porter entered and lighted the ceiling
lamp and went out again.
Suddenly two young men came saunter-
ing along the platform.
One approached the door of the coach
occupied by Col. Redruth's family, and
looked in. A guard came forward and
addressed the young men, and ushered
them into the very carriage occupied by
the returned soldier
Ignatia hurriedly drew her veil over her
face, and sank back upon her seat trem-
bling and panic-stricken. Col. Redruth
noticed that she seemed to cover in the
ouduOWS VI UtT COTICT.
The next instant the train was once
more on its swift way to the southwark.
Col. Redruth looked at the intruders
closely. One of them was an ordinary
looking young man in military uniform,
with loud laugh and pompous manners.
The Colonel did not bestow upon him a
second glance.
His companion was slender, tall and
graceful, and with dashing, spirited air.
His manner was a strange compound of
grace, insolence and gentlemanliness. He
was of fiorid complexion. his forehead
high, his eyes of blueish gray, and pos
sessed of a strange power of attraction
and fascination. His eyes reminded the
Colonel. oddly enough, of the eyes of an
Indian serpent.
? "That man looks like an angel" thought
the Colonel. "And believe he is at
heart devil!'
He withdrew his gaze slowly. At the
same instant Ignatia breathed into his ear:
THAT is he-my husband ~

Directions for Success with Flower
Seeds.

If the following simple rules are at
tended to, success is almost certain in
growing flowers from seeds. But if
neglected, failure is almost equally GER
tain.
LIST. The seed should not be sowed
until about the time of planting cucum-
bers and putting out tomatoes. If sown
too early, the frosts will destroy the
choicest varieties.
I'd. Cover the seed with very fine
dirt; and only about one quartef OF an
inch deep, as general rule. Large
seeds may be covered half inch.
3d. Shade the bed with board, or in
some other way. Sprinkle on water
every day, unless it rains, and keep the
surface of the bed constantly moist
until the plants come up. Then remove
the shade and give them the sun. But,
still, continue to sprinkle the bed every
evening or ealy in the morning, until
the plants get little strength of root.
4th. In very dry weather during the
summer until they blossom, give them
a showering occasionally. This should
be done just before evening, or the sun
will dry out the moisture TOO soon, and
cause the ground to bake hard.
Failure is not because the seed is bad,
as a general thing. But is caused in
most cases, either 10y covering the little
seeds too deep, the germ cannot reach
the surface, or 10y the ground becoming
dried below the point where the seeds
are located; in which case the plant
with its root is destroyed. BY following
the above directions, these difficulties
are avoided and beautiful flowers will
amply compensate for the care and labor
bestowed.-Chas. d. Copeland, Lima,
~ Y.

A Curious Story.

A correspondent of Notes and Queries
writes: In the churchyard of levin,
Herts, is II remarkable ash tree growing
out of the tomb Of Lady Anne Grim
stone, nee Tuition, daughter of Lady
Thanet, who died in 1913. The tradi-
ton is that, being doubtful of future
state, she expressed a wish or prayer
that if there was future state, tree
might grow out of her heart. What
foundation is there for this tradition
The editor adds: Oddly enough, the
following paragraph, extracted from the
Spiritual Times, December %, 1865, bear
ing on the same subject, reached us
simultaneously with the above. To use
the words of our correspondent, Mr..
AXon, Can any one elucioate this mar
velous legend p No reference to it is
made in Clutterbuclt's " History and
Antiquities of the County of Hertford."
An Atheists Prophecy Fulfilled: The
churchyard of levin, in Hertfordshire,
is spot of some interest to the curious,
from the fact of its being the resting
place of the mortal remains of Lady
Anne Grimstone. The "old wife's tale"
Of the neighborhood is TO the effect that
ist, without shadow of belief in the
Deity, and that so firm was her belief in
the non-eXistence of God. that at her
death-bed her last words were to the
effect that, if God existed, seven elm
trees would grow out of her tombstone.
Whether such words were used, and in
such a manner, it is impossible to deter
mine but, whether the tale be correct
or not, seven elm trees have sprung up
through the solid tomb, and have
broken away the solid masonry in all
directions, making the reading of the
inscription a difficult and almost impos-
siDle feat. The iron ratings that sur
rounded the monument are in many
places firmly imbedded in the trunks of
the trees. The numerous names carved
in all the available parts of the trunks
attest the number of visitors curiosity
has drawn to the spot. The trees are
each distinct and separate, and notwith-
standing the strangeness of the locality,
appear to thrive well. Many suppose
tons to account for this growth have
been started, but some are of so i'm
probable a nature that the country peo-
pie still cling to their favorite old story
of Lady Anne's atheism.

Chatted, Rugged and Kissed

The Newburg Telegraph, a spicy and
entertaining sheet, gets off the following:
Two gents, whom we christen, for short,
B. and r., both being rival and Wanting
aspirants for the alabaster eXtremities of
two loving arms, unexpectedly and sur.
prisingly met at the residence of their
charmer one evening recently. Both

very loquacious; but on this occasion
dress was not particuiarized, nor was
the conversation very extensive between
b. and r., for. upon the sudden appear

not sooner, "smelt large sized mice"
All this occurred about o'clock in the
evening. After b. had Invested him
self of his overcOat and became seated
uncovered, the usual play of sweetness
(honey nowhere) and nuptial felicities
OF the couple took place, decidedly UNI
pleasant, agonizing and disgusting, to r.,
whose only consolation was to peek
through the key-hole in the closet door,
witness the whole thing, and remain in
that prejudicial predicament until the
FINS. b., as we said before, entered
about eight o'clock, "smelt a mouse"

adversary a stay Tin the closet; and
accordingly he chatted, Rugged, kissed,

The Trick OF q Yankee Blacksmith.

A Connecticut paper has this story
Some time ago a gawky.looking individ-
ual entered a blacksmith shop in a
country town in this State and applied
for job in voice in perfect keeping
with the stupidity of his physiognomy.
His awkward, ungainly and uncouth
personal appearance impressed the
smithies with the idea that they saw
before them an object of prospective
merriment. So they quizzingly asked
him if he could do all sorts of forging.
Upon his answering atiirmatvely, the
BOSS winking at the workmen, hand
ed him a bar of cast-iron, and told him
to try his hand at forging some horse
shoes. The greeny, in his persevering
efforts to make the treacherous metal
stick, afforded much amusement to the
other smiths.
When dinnertime came, the green
horn had not made much Roadway to-
wards constructing shoe, but he kept
at work until the last man had gone To
dinner, then suddenly dropping the bar
of cast-iron, he made directly for one Of
the other FORCES and selected the best
pair Of tongs he could find, and in an
incredibly short space of time, he had
converted the jaws of the tongs into a
perfect horse shoe. Then he slipped
along to the next forge and repeated
the trick, and thus he left his compli-
ments to the three FORCES. When the
blacksmith and his "jours' returned
from dinner, they found the verdant
looking fellow astride of an anvil, with
mournful, disconsolate, woe BECOME
countenance comical to behold. He
was greeted with boisterous shout Of
laughter, coupled with the inquiry:
How do you get along making horse
shoes Amt sorry you learnt the trade,
are you ~
The object of their jest replied
I've got along purity well I've
knocked out three shoes, all 'cept cut
ting off the spurs" Then he held the
tongs. or, rather, what were once tongs,
before their astonished gaze. As the
idea dawned on the minds of the dis
ciples of Vulcan their heightened and
ludicrous visages were interesting to be-
hold Like the profane man, who,
when the "hind- board" Of his cart came
out as he was driving up hill with load
of apples and scattered his cargo along
the road, so it was with them-swearing
couldn't do justice to their feelings. 1t
turned out that the verdant looking
chap was boss blacksmith in a New
Haven shop, and was considered one of
the best worlmen in the country.
