the mad chase.
The steer was turned at midday into
the main street of the town. ALI the
dogs in the place chased the frenzied
animal and barked in chorus horses
broke from their fastenings, and behind
came McCrary and Dilworth shouting
like wild Apaches. The frenzied animal,
with his human burden, followed every

din, shot through street and alley, was
headed into square and plaza, and final
" succeeded in going through the Orion
saloon, breaking up two iourishing poker
games, making his entrance through the
front and his exit at the back. His
Nemeses, McCrary and Dilworth, as
though playing "follow my leader"
spurred their foaming and reluctant
steeds through the same passage; and,
although the proprietor protested with
six shooter, they, too, made their exit
with safety. Up the street, with re-
newed vigor, few the unwilling Mazep-
pa and the wild beast, the latter
running amuck now and endeavoring to
pierce every living thing he encountered
with his long, sharp horns. Suddenly,
when in front Of the Court House, the
steer stumbled and fell. Deputy Sheriff
Charles Smith took advantage of this,
and, with few quick cuts Of his bowie
knife, released the Monaghan Mazeppa
from his perilous perch. The released
Chinaman threw himself under the pro-
S6ction of the officer of the law. The
harried steer, seeing his mounted per-
secutors approaching, struggled to his
feet and darted away.
Tom Dilworth, when he discovered
his prisoner free, loosened his RATA and
shouted to McCrary to catch the steer
and he would capture the Chinaman.

Sheriff to stand aside. The officer of the

the Sherifrs Deputy shouted defantly,
"Touch him at your peril" Without a
seconds hesitation the RATA was thrown,
and encircled the officer and the China
man, but before the line was frightened
by the quick turning horse the crack of
Smiths pistol was heard, and Dilworth
fell dead from his saddle. The horse,
frightened by the falling body, bounded
away, and the two or three turns taken
round the horn held the RATA firmly,
and the brave officer and abused China
man were dragged, bumped and iolted
through the main street. The dogs
made matters worse by their barking,
and the citizens endeavored to intercept
the mad career of the riderless horse.
Finally, alter dragging them a mile. the
RATA broke. They were picked up, but
so badly were they bruised and torn

Folansbee, informed him of the fatal

LII was wonderful now quickly Mrs.
Jack recovered from her sorrow. Hard
ly had the street door closed ere she was
herself again. There was now look of
triumph on her face. Hastily putting
on her street garments, she showed the
despised bonnet into the handbook,
and minute later was on her way to
Plushington's.
It is needless to follow her thither.
Ii you are woman, you know how a
woman disports herself in millinery
shop; if man, the less you know about
such places the better for your peace of
mind.
The next day was Sunday, Easter Sun
day, and as Mrs. Jack walked down the
broad aisle in her new bonnet-the bon
net of her own choice-she was su-
premely happy. And Jack was happy.
too, to see his spouse in so heavenly a
frame Of mind.
"Well, yum p
Thus said Mrs. Jack, as she took her
seat; for right in front of her, in the
Bangupton pew, there sat Mrs. Bangup-
ton-the recognized leader in the fash
ionable world-with a bonnet the very
counterpart of that "horrid thing :"
which Jack had sent home as a surprise
to Mrs. J.
This is what Mrs. J. "vummed )"
about.
There we're the Identical neutral
strings; the nondescript roses, chrysan-
themums, lilies and asters were all
there; the "mean, scrimpy, Aight-cappy
thing" was before her in every particu-
lar.
It is safe to say that Mrs. Jack got
little edifieation from the service that
morning. Mrs. Bangupton's bonnet was
mixed up with the hymns; it was every
where throughout the creed. collects,
prayers; the morning lessons were en-
tirely devoted to millinery; the sermon,
from text to finish, was Bangupton and
bonnet; and the text was made up of tho
same ubiquitous elements.
On her way home Mrs. Jack was not
so cheerful as when she started thence.
On the contrary she was taciturn, sad.
not to say morose. Jack saw that some
thing was wrong, but, being a discreet
husband, and having yesterday episode
fresh in his remembrance, he said
nothing. 1t was, no doubt, the wiser
course.
Upon reaching home, Mrs. Jack flew
up the stairs, but not until she was in
the solitude of her own chamber did her
sorrow find words. Clutching con-
vu)sively at the strings of her new bon
net, she pulled it off and then sank into
chair and burst into tears.
81 don't care, there p
This was her only exclamation. She
continued to weep and sob for five min
ntes, perhaps. Then suddenly she dried
her eyes, took up her bonnet, scanned it
all over, and, with look of satisfaction
rather than of Joy, exclaimed:
"Well, I picked it out myself, at any
rate None of his buying! I'd died
rather than have him buy my bonnet p
And no doubt she would. -Bo8ton

and then stuck them together on a
chld's hat, and told Jack it was the lat
est style! And he believed them, the
ninny! It's just like him! Well, he
may wear it if he wants to, I shan't."
Jack arrived at this juncture, his face
beaming like bran-new tin pan in the
MONDAY sunshine. Seeing the millinery
in the hands Of his helpmate, he ex-
claimed gleefully:
$50 you've got it, Mary! A little
surprise, you know. It's a sumner,
amt it?"
81 should say it was, Mr.. Jack"
1t was the tone Of these words rather
than their intrinsic intelligence that
caused Jacks face to elongate so sud-
denly.
"Why, what's the matter, Mary 2"
he exclaimed in alarm.
Matter, Mr.. Jack |" returned Mary,
holding the bonnet out at arms length,
as if it had been a recent occupant of
the smallpox hospital. Matter, Mr..
Jack !" she repeated CT should think
you'd ask Just look at it l'
"Why," said Jack, beginning to lose
confidence in his ideas on taste, &c isn't
it pretty"
"Pretty I" screeched Mrs. J.
With that she let the millinery fall
from her grasp, and then dropped all in
heap on the nearest chair, and fell to
weeping like force pump.
1t was hard on poor Jack. He had
promised himself no end of pleasure as
the result of his little surprise. "Mary
will be so happy !" he had said to him
self. {" 1t will come so unexpected, too !!
And how she will admire my taste p
Instead of this, that beautiful bonnet lay
neglected on the floor, and his wife was
on the verge of Mysteries
What was he to do under these dis

"Oh, well, Mary" he said, coaxingly,

a man isn't fitted to pick out bonnet.
There, dear, don't cry any more; but

Plushington's and pick one out yourself.
Now don't cry, dear. I've got to go to
the office; but you'll go to Pushing
tons right away, won't you, dear ??
Mrs. Jacks tears gradually dried,
though great sob every now and then
showed the terrible anguish which still
rent her bosom. She deigned no answer
to her lords entreaties, excepting some
thing or other about that "horTid
thing" and was about to break out
again into fresh weeping, when Jack
begged her again to go to the milliner's
right off, kissed her hastily and discreet,

the door was safely shut behind him
the truth must be told-he did say some

Harvesting Onions.

In a favorable season, with proper
culture and good seed, the onion crop
will mature evenly and the time of har-
vest be indicated by the dropping over
of the greater part or all of the tops
As soon as the crop is ready to HARVEST
it is best to pull at once, for theeonions
will be brighter and keep better thar if
permitted to remain in the ground afer
they have attained their growth and tae
tops have lost their lively green colo.
Under adverse circumstances onions
sometimes incline to run to scallions
and many of the tops refuse to drop
down and dry up. A common practice,
when this state of affairs exists, is to
roll an empty barrel over the bed, to
break the tops down a few days previ-
GUS to pulling the crop.
When the main crop is ripe harvest
it and sort out what is unfit for market
or table use. Pull the onions by hand
or rake them out with an ordinary hand
rake. One mode is to throw them into
heaps containing two or three bushels,
there to remain until the tops are cured
and the bulbs are hard and solid If a
rain occurs, these heaps must be opened
on fair day and replied, so as to rid
them of the moisture that would other
wise blacken and injure the onions.
The usual plan is to cart the crop
away when the tops have become
+. thoroughly dry and store in some cool,
dry place where there is free circula-
ton of air. There are cultivators,
however, who leave the onions in the
field after pulling until freezing weather
or until they are sold, believing that
early housing induces sweating and
sprouting.
The tops ought not to be removed
until they are dead throughout their
entire length. Many farmers DELAY
topping their onions until they are
marketed. When the onions are to be
keptthrough the winter tits advisable To
store that crop where the frost will not
affect it and where no loss will be sus.
tanned from heating or growing. The
cellar is not good place unless il
chances to be dry, cool one. A lat
tiee-work bin affords an admirable
storage, provided it is raised little
from the floor in some well-ventilated
building. Onions receive little or no
injury from freezing, provided always
they are thawed out gradually, but as
this cannot be insured the safe plan is
to protect them. When freezing weather
approaches some farmers spread LAYER
of straw about twelve inches deep up-
on the barn or garnet floor; on this they
place layer of onions, say five or six
inches deep, and cover with layer Of
straw about two feet deep, held in
place by boards or rails.
If by any chance onions become
frozen they should remain undisturbed
and covered until thawed.-N Y.

Love Survival.


Cases of the survival of love are now
and then being cited that lead us to be-
'ieve the human heart is substantial
trust after all, and that caprice or
counter attractions cannot ALWAYS move
the settled fondness from its keep. AT
one of the summer resorts there is a
man of many years, but tall and fine
looking, with a charming little wife who
is prematurely gray. The two have
turned fifty, but are yet young in spirit.
They are tenderly devoted to each other
and are the envy of many younger
couple. Their life is aromance. They
loved when young. but cruel parents
drove them asunder They parted and
afterward contracted unwilling mar
riages with less-loyed objects of their
circumstantial choice. After twenty
i've years the woman became widow.
A year ago the man became w1dower.
Neither had children. They met again
