CHAPTER XVII.

Without losing for a moment his self
possession, Mr.. Fearne turns and well
comes7his guest with perfect grace, and,
Introducing Mr.. Beltham, adds:
"Miss Weston is the daughter of a very
much loved friend of my mothers"
With most formal bow Ellen acknowl-
edges the Introduction and quietly leaves
the room.
Not another word was said about the
young lady. One gentleman was too
proud and too self-respecting to explain;
and the other too wise to refer even in
directly to the little tableau his incoming
had interrupted; and the short, formal
visit was successfully made, and these
two parted with courteous words and all
the outward semblance of regard. To the
observation of Indifferent lookers-on IN
the street, Mr.. Beltham, clean-shaYed,
well-dressed and cOmplacent had looked
a well-conditiOned and comfortable man!
Even more than thiS-he had looked a
happy one. But the smooth outside only
served to hide the tumult within. Ever
since he had known Charlie to be irreYO-
cably lost to him, and positively engaged
to another man, he had felt, for the first
time in his scheming life, almost ready to
curse his untOWard fate, and resign him.
self to a life of inglOriOus ease-the hus-
band of a rich wife resting from anxious
care if not happy. But single thought
OF CnarlIe. a single look at ler brilliant
beauty, called back all his envy and
strengthened his earlier resolves. He
could not recede now; he had gone much
too far. His wife, the only impedimentin
the way, was dying slowly but most GER
tainly, and even his narrow soul con
fessed that she must not be sacrificed for
naught; then, with this man, to begin an
enterI rise, was to follow 1t to its consum-
nation if it could be secured by any
compromise of character or principle.
He had walked on this bright winter
morning with one fixed purpose. This
was to return Mr.. Fearne's visit, and to
let it appear that he acquiesced heartily
in the plans of his ward, and even found
in them matter for cORgratulation.
This was bitter task. but one thai CIR
cumstances made imperative. This done,
he would 90 quietly back and draw on his
resources for some means to separate
Charlie and her handsome fiance. What
plan he should pursue he knew not: the
first point was to accomplish the visit:
after that, he would devote his inventive
genius to plan of action.
Feeling miseTably bored and jealous he
had reached DR.. Fearne's house. The
door was open when, presto! the remedy
stood full before him; stood graceful and
bewitchng, brave and pretty in the pres
ence of Elaine Verel Here was an easy
tool with which to work his schemes. His
eyes frightened; his heart expanded. He
felt that the whole yexing problem was

BITS OF SCIENCE.

Petroleum, as fuel on the locomotives
of Russian railways, is said to be 80 per
cent. cheaper than coal or wood.
DR.. Vermkon is reported to have dis

Her motive power is steam.
In a paper read recently before the Royal
Society Professor Hughes gives an ac-
count of some experimental researches
made with magnetic balance, from which
he concludes that we can find the electric
cOnductivity of iron or steel from simple
reading of its magnetic capacity. Thus

scented by 81. The electric resistance OF
the same is respectively represented by
1872 and $50.
An apparatus designed to ascertain the
quantity of earbonic acid in the atmos-
phere of room has been devised by a
German. A plain, thin rubber vessel,
shaped Ikea narrOw-necked gOurd, Is
hlled with the atmosphere of the room and
discharged into cylindrical jar filed
with common lime water. This operation
is repeated until a marked change is pro-
duced in the lime water. The degrees OF
such changes being well known, the CON-
parative condition of the air in the room
Is denoted closely enough for ali ordinary
practical purposes.
Brushes or combs used on the heads of
persons afflicted with scaly badness will
communicate the disease to other heads

is spread by hair-dressers who employ

treated. Naseline alone produced no eff

1t has long been a disputed question
whether plants derived nitrogen from the
air or not. The verdict has been in favor
of the nOn-appr0priatiOn of that element
from the atmosphere, despite Boussin-
gault's claim to the contrary. NJ. Vile,
in order to test the matter, calcined pOr-
ton Of earth, to eXpel all nitrogen, and
then grew a good crop of clover in the
same with a fertilizer containing no nj
trOgen, the water used being distilled.
This demonstrates that clover apprOpri-
ates nitrogen from the air, and, cOnse-
quently, when grown and plcwed under,
adds nitrogen to the soil. Wheat derives
no nitrogen from the atmosphere, and
when experiments were made with that
plant the nitrogen was not increased.

On calling on Mr.. Horace n. Hatch, Of
No. los 1 street, dealer in stoves, fur
naces, etc., at No. 100 West Broadway,
South Boston, where he has been for
many years favOrably known, he said to
the reporter that his wife drew the part of

daughter Gertie and l." he said, leach

destruction. A liberal dressing of the
strongest-smelling superphOsphate of
lime, that made from ''slush acid,o the
refuse of the petroleum refineries, spread
about the plants at the last hoeing, deters
the moth from its attacks, invigOrates the
vines and helps them to resist the damage,
or, doubtless, it has both of these effects.
The borer may be hunted in its hiding
places now and killed by splitting the
vines with q sharp knife on one side. The
hiding places may be found by the discol-
Ored appearance of the vines, or by the
holes made by the borers.-Rurdl Sun.

Plenty of Fodder.


do not think too much can be said in
the way of encouragement to farmers to
make and save more fodder. There is not
one farmer in ten who saves enough of it;
who saves as much as he ought. Blade
fodder costs the farmer every cent that it
Is worth, and few Southern farmers can
save enough of it to supply their stock
abundantly until another crop unless
they have very little stock. A farmer is
generally apt to over-estimate the guam
tity that he has on hand or in prospect,
and it rarely holds out to the time that he
hoped it would. His guessing as to the
amount that he will have is above the
mark every time, and before the winter is
half over he finds that his stock of fodder
or hay has run very low.
We have such a number of fine hay or
fodder plants and our opportunities so
good for securing it in abundance, we
have less excuse tor not having it than
the farmers of the North, who have long
winters and short summers to contend
with, and yet we have to buy their hay at
two prices to the our poor stock over the
winter or through the spring anyway. l
think we ought to put a stop to buying
hay that is raised thousand miles to the
North or West of us, paying as much
freight on it as it is intrinsically worth.
Instead of raising less than we need we
ought to grow more than we can possibly
use.
Besides our various spontaneous
growths of crab and crOwfoOt, Bermuda
and Lespedeza, look what a list of fodder
plants we have to choose from and out
of which we can SOW som ething every
month in the year. Some are annual
while others are perennial. Some of them
may be sOWn with oats or wheat in the
fall and occupy the land after the grain is
cut off in May or June. Let us write them
in small capitals:
LUCERNE.
ORCHARD GRASS.
JOHNSON GRASS.
MEADOW-OAT GRASS.
RED CLOVER.
BURR CLOVER.
INDIAN CORN.
TEOSINTE.
FIELD PEAS.
IVORY WHEAT.
AMBER SORGHUM.
PEARL MILLE1.
GERMAN NILLET.
OATS.
RYE.
TIMOTHY.
HERDS GRASS.
Not one Of them that we cannot grow to
perfection if we will only accord proper
treatment. A common mistake made in
growing Indian corn, sorghum and the
like for fodder is in not sowing thick
enough, SO as to produce very small stalks
that can be cured easily and will not be
too coarse for stock to relish. Generally
the fodder corn is allowed to get too large
and coarse, and cannot be cured well.
On good land the rows should not be more
than , or ~ feet apart and to bushels
of seed used per acre. The land, of course,
must be rich to grow such Il crop. On
poorer land less seed should be used.
The amber sorghum, sOwn thickly on
rich land, makes superior fodder for
mich cows and hogs
The practice of sowing clover with oats
or rye is one that should be increased in
the South, but it is labor thrown away to
sow it on poor land without manure.
Stock farming is being gradually but
surely increased in all OF the Southern
States, and it is but a matter of time
when we will have as fine meadows as
can be found anywhere, but at the present
time the great bulk of our farmers are
neglectful Of this great desideratUm-

tire change will do for her.
81 have Just told you that | would take
her away at the earliest practicable mo-
ment," he replies, with severe GOODNESS,
as he opens the door and walks off to
his wife's room.
Here he finds absolute silence. Annie
is lying on lounge still dressed, but in a
deep sleep-sO deep, indeed, that a little
startled, he steps softly to her side and
lays two fingers on her pulse. The throb
is very weak, and sometimes intermits a
beat or two. She is altogether too feeble
to suit his present purposes. Very gently
he leans over her and kisses her closed
lips to waken her. But she has suffered ter
ribly and the reaction is eXhausting. The
deep sleep into which she has fallen is
not so easily broken. With even slight
look of alarm he shakes her arm and calls
two or three times. At last the blue eyes
open, and seeing her husband leaning
over her she clasps TWO thin arms about
his neck, and smiling ever so family
says:
us it you, Albert? 1 thought mother
was calling me from down stairs"
Yes, it is L, Annie. Mother tells me
you have had sick turn, darling, whilst
| was gone, and | am full of remorse at
the thought of being away when you need
ed me-"
"Ohl you couldn't know that l should
be ill or you wouldn't have left me.

going@

Every well; but you needn't 90 down.
1t is there on the table. Mother had it
this morning."
He poured out little in a glass and
gave her. The effect was apparent al
most Immediately. Her eyes frightened
and the color came back to her pale lips.
''YOu are better already, ANNIE" he
said, reassuringly.
Eyes, | am better now; but, darling, l
want to tell you something which you
don't know, and which will break your
heart"
"What can that be, dearT
