Growth in Dairy Cattle.

A great many people wonder at the
great difference in growth, starting rs
nearly equal as possible. as in the case
of two steers, one making u third more
growth on the same food than tho
other; or in the case of two COWS. one
yielding double the butter that another
does on the same food. If the kernels
of an ear of corn be carefully planted.
it will be noticed that here and there
are kernels that make double the
growth of their kindred. There is no
explanation of this except on the thco-
ry of individual power. This dispro-
portion of accomplishment pervades
all life. In men we call it genius.
In animals and vegetables we strive to
make this development of individual
excellence and power the basis of flu
turc perpetuation of excellence. From
this and climatic influences. springs
the varying qualities and potcncies OF
breeds. -Hoard's Dairuman.

CHAPTER XXXIII.


It was, indeed, the Vampa. Clumsily and
slowly that huge, black, unwieldy craft
forged ahead, cleaving her way through the
CLASSY waters, and, when darkness fell,
came to anchor about q quarter of mile
from land.
There was no moon: but the stars gave q
feeble glimmer, enough to enable one
family to distinguish objects at moderate
distance.
BY and by lights were seen flashing over
the water and the dip Of hasty oars grew
louder. Then came the sound as Of boat 8
keel grating over the pebbles, and soon, in
the darkness, black mass. moving as one
man, came tramping solidly up the slope
with measured step toward the tower, which
doomed up high and clear against the starlit
dome of heaven.
Fairfax began counting the men as they
approached nearer.
Twenty, twenty-one, twenty-five, trenty.
three. TwENTY-rorR, TWENTY-FIVE!
''Great heavens! And all powerful fel.
lows, armed to the teeth, too. Boys, this is
fight for life, and the .Namovna's' crew
thirty miles away! Win you risk it!"
"What l begin that l tinish." quoth
Nebbitt, grimly.
As no other man said anything they all
lay quiet, watching the turn Of events.
Up it marched, that solid phalank of des-
perate men; shoulder to shoulder, four
ranks deep; six men in a line; their case
knives and guns and pistols cleaning and
glittering in the starlight; silent and grim
and led on by man Of gigantic stature,
who strobe i'm seriously before them.
That's Matteo." whispered Fairfax, as
he glanced mournfully at his own broken
arm and then at the tremendous frame of
the man.
At a word from their leader, the men,
with one accord, paused and stood motion
less, like statues in the night. Stepping
out before them, he remained silent q mo-
ment. Every voice was hushed, save that
Of the breeze murmuring through the tow
er and the wave tapping the strand.

We know how we have all risked our lives
like brave men. But, like brave men, now
have We come to our sewardl The Vampa

The Nubian's garments were all torn and
shred 80 that they scarcely hung together.
But Fairfax found small scrap Of parch-
ment-evidently that from which the main
portion had been rent in Ais struggle with
the murderers-pinned tightly to the fan
mel over his chest.
That was all!
But in that little scrap lay the fate Of
Arthur Fairfax-countless millions or moth
ing! For it afforded the only clue by which
he could ever hope to find the treasure
trove.
His fingers trembling with excitement
and his face as pale as that Of ghost, he
fambled at the pin, seeking to remove it.
then, with mighty effort, nerved himself
to meet fortune-or defeat!

to be reinforced from the Vampa or by

moment, recover strength sufficient to rejoiD

Suddenly Matteo shouted:

three; and the fewer we are, in the end, the

Doubtless the ruffians, long ere this, had
rifled Haydee's '.strong-box'' and learned
the secret Of the hiding-place Of her treas
ure. Their vessel was slow and their coal
supply probably short. II he could only
reach England and Nebbitt in eight days!

HANGERS before them.
ssTorer FL Baba"-he clearly recalled the
ruined tower, as it looked on that sweet
winters day, when q merry party from the
house OF the Greek merchant picnicked be-
meath its crumbling walls on the shores Of
the billowy Atlantic. The ''Namovna'' could
easily land her crew opposite to it and await
the coming Of the villains.
Aye! But time was short. And what he
did, that he must do quickly!
Taking her ring, her locket and that
u.atchless necklace of pearls, he stood by
Haydee's PROSTATE form, and raising them
high in his hand to heaven, swore q mighty
oath:
..Above thy body. dead girl-O Haydee
whose love passeth the love Of all women
/ swear that thy wealth shall be used only
Jas thy noble heart itself would have die
tated. / swear that forever and forever
shall this the long kept secret Of thy love for
me be buried and hidden from man. And,
once again, / swear that on the finger,
Throat or bosom Of woman shall never again
rest this ring, this locket or this necklace
until Natalie, the Hohenzollern, give me
her heart and hand!''
So saying, he found followed spot
among the rocks, wherein he reverently
laid the twain, mistress and slave, and be-
side them the faithful bird, and, over all
that was left Of the household Of the dead
Greek merchant prince, heaped pile Of
.stonos high in air, committing their bodies
ito earth, from whence they sprung, and
their souls to God who gave them.

corroborate the story.
The impression is gaining ground here
that the story is correct in every particular.
but that Blaine's friends are using efforts

LAST NIGHTS CONCERT.

Certainly the Ladies' Literary Club, and
more particularly Mrs. Cora Bliss Wenham
and Miss Kate BonneIl. have reason to feel
proud of their concert last evening. The
dainty club house was well filled. notwith-
standing the somewhat torrid weather, and
the applause Was as well timed as il was
well msnIed. A lady, prominent in
musical circles. spoke OF the slightly
marked absence of piano teachers and their
pupils. and she had good reason for COM
meuting thereon. for Cora Wenhsm and
Kate Bonnell, IN their performances on two
pianos. were both remarkable and instruc-
tive. These ladies are especially pleasing
in their execution. and are both
excellent sololsts. but their playing
on two pianos was something quite re-
marksble and should have been heard by
every piano student in the city. IL proved
what constant practice may accomplish.
They played in perfect time, some
difficult selections ana the variations on
one of Beethoven's themes by Saint t-Saens
Was most sxquisitely interpreted. Mrs.
Breeze Was the vocalist and Mr.. Wilbur
from q hoarseness which was alixhtly
noticeable IL the Angels Serenade" which
vas sung with . violin obiigrto by Mr..
Force and accom- panied on ths piano by
Miss Bonneli. Mrs. Breeze was recalled
but did not respond with song until next
to the last number when she sang Daddy,
dainty little dramatic song by Behrend,
which shs sang with much effect
and which was enthusiastically
spplauded. For The encore she sang Down
Shadowy Lane" very pretty little song,
which was well received. Beethoven
SONATA for violln and piano. played by Cora
Bliss Wenham and Mr.. Force, was one OF
the most pleasing. ~ IL was most classical
numbers on the programme.
The evening was really an ENJOYABLE one
and although Ars- Breeze had. unfortu-
nattly. severe cold, she was the recipient
Of most enthusiastic applause. and the re-
msrkabls playing Of the young ladies on
two pianos was most highly com fimented
Mrs. Cora Bliss Wenham and Miss Kate
