Won MOltke's Wife.

When Won Moltke returned to Holstien,
after recognizing the Turkish army, he
found living there with his sister-who
had married Mr.. Butte, an Englishman,
"a young girl between Is and 16, a
daughter Of MIR. Butte's first marriage.
The pretty little girl loved already, before
seeing him, the soldier who had sent from
the Orient such interesting letters to his
sister. As for Won Moltke, he had until
then seen in woman only being con-
stantly interfering with the methodical
life of worker. But when man more
than 40 years old is loved by bewitch-
ing girl of Is, he ends by returning her
affections. From that time there was
but one woman in tn world to him, as
there was but one work. He married
sweet Mary Butte, and when she died in
'98 the gteat field marshal could say that
his life as social being was also ended;
only the soldier remained. The countess
was buried in his butifnl park in Silesia,
and on the marble above her is written,
'"Love is the fulfilling of the law" Mary
Moltke was very bright, very charming,
very merry, and it is told as a pathetic
truth that since her death the field mar
shall has not been seen to laugh.

The squire's voice was little tremu
lous now, but it detracted nothing from
its deep stcrnness. He stepped in front
of the door, as he spoke, as he OWNED an
intention on the part of Kate to glide
| from the room.
"A moment if you please-I will not
detain you long," he said, inclining his
head toward her. II believe you are too
true and generous, Miss Weston, to think
me guilty of such meanness as you have
just ascribed to me. am sure that for

He stepped aside from the door to al
low Kate to pass out, but she stood before
him without moving to 60, while the
willful tears still broke up from the
depths Of her beautiful eyes and fell up
on her cheeks
Il will not detain you longer he re-
peated, hesitatingly, seeing that she stood
immovable and silent.
She drew up her naughty head as he
spoke and dashed the burning tears from
her cheeks; then she started forward with
out looking up into his face. For mo-
ment she tottered upon the threshold,
pressing her slender fingers over her wet
eyes, and then turned back again to the
the squire. who stood, with his head bent
toward her.
"I-I-do not want to go!" she cried,
springing back to him, and holding out
both white hands to meet his eager, pas
sionate grasp. Internationally Squire
Waters is too aristocratic a parsonage for

he photographed was the prisoner at the
bar. @,,..,,-p. %
Immediately there was a general buzz
in the court ROOM The prisoners pale
face flushed, and he gazed upon Dan with
Iaas look Of joyful gratitude.
But there was still an important question
to be settled. CAT what fine exactly was
that photograph taken!''
Dan took the picture ana looked at it
closely.
There's the clock on St. Luke's church,
up there in that corner" said he, pointing
to the place, and handing the picture back
to the Judge.
The Judge looked again, holding the pa
per up to the light, and turning it carefully
round.
By the dial here, he said, it was Just
o'clork at the instant when the picture
was taken"
The jury and the counsel now examined
the photograph infinitely. 1t could not
be disputed. There was the identical
man, and there he was not in the bank at
the moment when the forged check was
passed. ,~ ~ rr:r'. 49,
The teller was once more placed upon
the stand.-He was confused by the evil
dence he had heard, and wasby no means
as positive as he was before. At last he
reluctantly admitted that he, might be
labOring under mistake. And upon that
he retired into the crowd with an appear
ance Of great chagrin.
Dams triumph was complete. He was
hero. People forgot his strange dress
and his wild-looking head, and actually
:" lionized" him. The prisoner was dis
charged. He instantly went to Dan and
Selling both of his hands, exclaimed:
-. you have saved me. You shall have
anything you want. cannot do enough
to show you my gratitude"
From that moment Dams star began to
rise. He had money to continue his cx-
periments, and he eventually discovered
a process by which he succeeded in OBJ
tanning the richest and most durable
photographs that are now taken in Wex-
ford. He still keeps the old camera that
made Ifs fortune.

In the course of his experiments out of

ing up and looking down; making ges-
lures or sitting still; he took them as
they stood in windows, and as they walked
below him, or rode past in carriages.
Many OF the photographs were clear and
good, but still the subtle finish was want
ing. Dan could not realize his dream.
Finally his mother begged him to stop
to a store, or some business where he
might support himself.
Dan shook his head.

Florida's Orange Trade.

For the last few years the
desire for Floaida oranges has
been so great that it was impos-
>ible to supply the steadily in
creasing demand at anything
ike reasonable prices. In all
northern and western markets
good and even fabulous prices
have been obtained for this
golden fruit Of Florida, while
other oranges have sold at fair
nominal prices. This heavy de-
mand and good sale of the
Florida orange have created
considerable enthusiasm and q
spirit of speculation in the
minds of a host of fruit mer-
chants, who this year have spec
ulated extensively, and to their
sorrow, on account Of the dry
frost, which has deprecated the
value Of their contracted crops
to an unknown extent, making
their ventures subject to a heavy
loss, as frozen fruit is spongy,
unstable, unfit both to eat and
to ship, and it easily rots.
While these facts are no great
drawback to future orange Gull
ture, yet this years prices will
inevitable effect prices of sue
cecding crops. - Savannah

A Drunken Farm


Often and often, while riding
through the country have we
passed farms whose history we
could read at a glance. The door,
yard fence had disappeared
burnt up in the shiftlessness born
OF drink. The houses were un-
painted and battered; broken panes
OF glass were stopped with rags
or old hats; the chimney stood in
a toitering attitude; the doors
swung in a creaky condition on
one hinge; the steps were I'M
steady, like its owner /; everything
was dilapilated, decaying, un-
steady, cherries. A single lCok
showed that lis owner traded too
much at the shop-the rum shop.

for the home-all bad gone down
the farmers throat. Outside mat
tiers were the same. The barn
yards wretched stays; the gates
down, the carts crazy, the tools
broken, the fodder scarce. and
the stock poor and wretched.
Neglect, cruelty, wastelulness,
ruin-all had come from drink.
The farm showed the trail of the
same serpent. The struggling
and tumbled sto: ewall, the rick

the sparse AID hall headed crops,
the dying orchard, all said to the
