The cattle kept in the South are inferi-
or to those kept in the Northern States,
and considerable difficulty is expert
enccd in improving them, as many ami
mails recently imported or brought from
the North die before they become accli-
mated
Give fattcning cattle as much as they
will cat, and often-ivc times a day.
Never give rapid changes Of food, but
change often. A good guide for safe
quantity Of grain per day to maturing
cattle is one pound to every hundred Of
their weight; thus an animal weighing
one thousand may receive ten pounds of
grain.
A COW that has milked only since May
should now be giving at least two-thirds
Of her first quantity. But the season has
been dry and the grass is hard and of
poor quality, SO that {, considerable
falling off is not surprising,
unless some extra food is given. No ex-
planation beyond this is given. Itmight
be well to try a little extra feed, as a
quart or two Of wheat bran and corn
meal. Ifthis does not help the cow she
is not worth keeping.

er, says: ''The heaviest milking cattle

thinks there can be hardly doubt that
hogs are to rule high another year.
Farmers all through the country have
been selling close and short since early
fall when it became cer,ain that the
corn crop would he short. The number
Of hogs wintered was less ti1an usual,
ewing TO hi%h-pricel corn, and the pros
ptrt Of Il light corn crop again this year
has caused the marketing of thousands
upon thousands early this summer. The
supply Of hogs is unusually short, and
high prices must prevail.

\ New York Railroad Horror.


BY what is reported to be gross misn,an-
agement and reckless disregard for life limb
and property, a Harlem local ran into and
tclescoped the Mount Vernon train on the
New Haven railroad in the Fourth Avenue
Tunnel, New York. Five passengers were
killed and nineteen were wounded. The
wrecked train was filled with women and
girls belonging to the Noun
Vernon Normal school, and the
scene created by the collision was sad one
Tn, victims, dead and dying were pulled
out Of the wreck by policemen aud fremen
but in the dense darkness that prevailed it
was difficult to find the victin.s except those
who were able to make their presence known
The list of dead is as follows:

though a trihe dusty, was, nevertheless, a
pleasant gallop.
After getting well out into the country,
the party broke up i'm couples, some going
ahead and some falling behind.
Miss rockingham was lively rider, and
soon Tom found himself well in advance of
the main party and at part of the road but
a mile and half from a series of steep de-
scents, into what was called the DEVILS
Gorge, deep cut between the hills through
which ran fOaming torrent
Suddenly upon the hearing of the two
smote a series of frightened screams and the
hoarse halloo of excited men.
Then the next moment behind them came
the thunder of hoofs and, ere they could
realize the nature of the trouble there
leaped past them with f-ightful speed the
white-faced bay thoroughbred of Minnie
Stockwell, the broken bits dangling from
his lower jaw, while upon his back, with
fearfully pallid face, sat the peerless beauty
of Fairview, clinging resolutely yet despair
ingly TO the saddle.
As she swept past Tom her face was turned
upon him, and in its wild terror there was
an expression of pleading and faith which
seemed to say to him:
You are a man-you can save me-"
With groan of horror and terrible reso-
luton uppermost in his breast, Tom Hatha-
way dug both spurs deep into his thorough
bred's TANKS.
Like an arrow the noble animal responded
and shot forward in pursuit
1t was terrible race for life or death, and
Tom, well realizing it, rode as he never
rode before.
Nearer he drew, gaining momentarily
such was was the superior speed of his OWL
horse.
Out of sight of the rest of the party they
swept.
Now the black is alongside Of the little
bay.
A rise in the stirrups and Tom extends
his powerful arm, encircling the waist Of
the proud capitalists daughter; she j:
plucked skillfully clear of the saddle and
landed safe upon the wethers of the black
who now beneath the double weight slack
ened his speed.
The naughty beauty was saved, and by
the very man whom she in secret loveC
above all others.
10 What was the result?
Her naughty spirit broke down, and sh'
lay limp upon his broad bosom, while the
choking tears flowed in torrents.
We will not depict the scene which fol
lowed on the verge of DEVILS Gorge before
the rest of the party came up, but suffice il
to say in brief that from that moment ther,
existed between the two a perfect under
standing.
And this is why our hero dreaded the de
movement of the disgracefnl duel int
which he had been unwisely drawn, no
from its criminal consequences so usual, a;
the reproach he knew he would merit anC
receive from the one girl whom be loved on
all the wide earth

CHAPTER II.
THE LOVERS.

Back from the main street of lovely
Fairview stood substantial stone MANSION,
whose style of architecture would proclaim
1t dwelling of some age-more after the
old Elizabethan pattern.
The storms of many years had howled
about its ancient gables and chimneys,
yet it was apparently able to stand the
weather another century ere succumbing.
1t was surrounded by noble growth of
oaks and cedars, and from this latter fact
derived its name, Cedarcroft.
Its demesnes extended far back from the
street or avenue upon which it STOOD en-
bracing in all some hundred acres of
woodland, merging finally upon a lower
country road upon the shores of Crystal
Lake.
The proprietor of this lordly estate was
rich New York speculator in Wall street, by
name Howard Stockwell The family CON
sisted of two children, the mother having
died five years previous TO the opening
of this story
The children were a boy and girl, both
now pretty well matured, especially the for
mer, Ralph StOckweIl. who was a tall,
splendidly proportioned young man, gener-
ally beloved by all knew him, and who held
the by no means unimportant position OF
President of the Crystal Wave Boat Club.
But of all the fair girls ia Fairview, and
there we're not few, to tell the truth, pretty
Minnie Stockwell was fairer and gentler
than ali, and the acknowledged belle of the
town.
She was in figure about the average height
but graceful in her movements, which lent
additional charms to her fair person. Her

And that afternoon no happier man
pulled an oar to the starting line on Crystal

The first person on whom Toms eyes
rested as he turned away, and with but one
thought, that of leaving the room to make
his way home, was slender-built youth OF
some eighteen summers
He was the youngest member of the
Crystal Lake Club, by name Herbert Sin
clair. and particularly attached TO Tom; for
in younger days Tom had rescued him from
drowning in the lake.
Sinclair worshlped the very ground upon
which Tom Hathaway walked and when
Toms eyes fell upon him he felt instinct
lively that he had friend whom he could
trust.

riend's in look of sympathy, must you

fact of his being in the same race need not
debar you. All the interest of the day will
be lost, for nearly all the village folk will
go to see you row."
Tom did not reply, but stood for a few
moments gazing down upon the floor in
dreamy meditation. Then he raised his
head AID suddenly grasped Sinclairs hand.
The other knew what was coming
''Sinclair, you are a friend of mine-will
you stand by me now in my hour of need?'
III will, Tom"
Il will not forget the favor, and will
stand your friend forever
III will be your friend, Tom"
Enough! L hope you may never be sorry
for it,"
When the meeting of the Club was dis
missed that night Tom Hathaway made his
way homeward in not comfortable frame
of mind.
There were other reasons besides those Of
mere reputation and an unenviable nOtori-
ETY. which led him to dread the coming
duel.

TOMS RESOLUTION.

Brandon has i'll Brandon has it!' yelled
the excited crowd on the shore, as the con-
testants drew nearer home.
Minnie, from her position in the family
carriage of the Stockwells heard it. but still
the confidence in her champion did not abate
one whit.
1t seemed to her as though Tom, who was
in her mind so vastly superior to Hartley
Brandon, must win.
There suddenly became a lull in the
cheering; for enc moment silence reigned.
Then deafening cheers rent the air.
Hathaway has iti' now became the cry.
as Tom, with long, sweeping, nonchalant
thirty-four, glided over the line a full hall
length the best.
Grand was the ovation which he received
upon his return to the boathouse, the ex-
cited crowd selling him and conveying
HIM down the street upon their shoulders.
A second time had Tom Hathaway won
the Club cup in two succeeding seasons, a
record never before achieved on the Crystal
Lake course.
AS for Hartley Brandon, Inundated by
bis signal defeat, and burning with rage, he
pulled slowly down TO his quarters. He was
not little surprised at the wonderful pow
er of Tom Hathaway, who was not so heavy
by many pounds, and apparently not SO
strong as himself.
But in this supposition he had been mis-
taken. He had miscalculated his adver.
sary's powers. Never had he felt more GER
tain of anything in his life than he had of
winning the cup and championship of
the Club, when he had started out that
morning.
He had even staked considerable sum of
money upon the result-a matter of FIVE
hundred dollars; but this loss did not
affect him nearly as much as the humilia-
ton of getting defeated.
All the black venom of his nature was
now aroused against Tom Hathaway, and
from that moment he became instinctively
his sworn enemy to the death.
You have crossed my path" he mutter-
ed, land, Tom Hathaway, l swear by all the
powers OF evil you shall rue it,"
And it would not seem a difficult under
taking for the rich bankers son, blessed
with wealth uncounted, to crush the penni-
less cooper's son.
Gayly, and with a kind of reckless desper-
alton, Tom plunged into the festivities of
the ball that evening. Indeed, an unusual
ly hilarious spirit seemed to have come over
him, and though at all times most agree
able, none remembered ever seeing him so
mirthful before.
Many attributed this very naturally to his
very different motive.
Tom was, in fact, upon the eve of taking
his first lesson in self-denial.
For Tom, as have several times before
remarked, was poor, nay penniless, and I'M
like his associates, had not handsome rev.
enue of a few thousands coming into his
Golfers monthly.
Even the very dress suit which he wore
upon the present evening had served in that
capacity nearly two years. and was sadly
frayed and almost threadbare.
And he had no immediate prospect of OBJ
tanning another, for his funds were exceed
ingly low, and unless some interposition Of
a special Providence replenished them he
would be compelled to go to the wall.
