Found Out.

When Lieut.. Markham returned
after long cruise to claim his
! bride, and found a rival had won
her. love, he songht to console
himself by plunging into dissipa.
ton.
1T was late in the morning that
he stumbled into his rooms and
found his brother George there
waiting for him.
Partly to explain his condition,
Harry told his brother how he had
returned to find the girl he loved
engaged to marry young man
named Pollard from Texas.
George Markham seemed to
recognize the name and descrip-
ton of the man, and then said:
"Harry. if you will promise
never to drink again, l will prom
ise to break off this engagement
and restore Miss Danforth to you.''
ssBut if she still loves him?"
IL will undertake to cure that
love-" said the brother decidedly.
They clasped hands in silence
and both knew the compact would
never be broken.
The next day was Sunday, and
Mr.. Danforth remained with his
family. They were seated in their
private parlor, and Ralph Pollard
was there talking with Lucy, when
George Markham knocked at the
door.
On his entrance Pollard changed
color, and slipping a ring off his
finger, put it in his pocket. The
action was only noticed by Mark
ham.
After a few words of hearty
welcome had been spoken, Mr..
Danforth turned to introduce Pol
lard to the newcomer.
+. s'No Introduction is necessary"
said George, quietly. II know
Mr.. Pollard well.'
The younger man seemed con-
fused, but advanced, holding out
his hand, of which Markham took
no notice.

randi" said George, speaking slow
ly and distinctly. SIT is to re-
quest Mr.. Pollard to withdraw his
suit for your daughters hand. and
to tell her that he is unworthy of
her love-"

COUNTRY AND CITY LUNGS.

A few days ago a New York;
specialist in pathology showed tlle'
writer two bottles. One contained
a section of a healthy lung of a,
man who had lived in the countryo
and the other the lung of a. NAM
who had lived and died in New
York. The country lung showed
a clear pink color; the city lung:
was almost black, and it was. i'm
possible to trace the veins through
the smut and dirt. The expert
ment proved, of course, that the.
air in New York is so impregnatedl
with dust and dirt that the lungs
become in as much need of bath
as if they were laid in a bed Of

George.
"Will you do this, sir?' he con-
tinued speaking to Pollard. who
llhad grown white.
Lucy spoke up Indignantly:
"Mr. Markham, this is outrage
GUS. Ralph, tell him he is wrong
He has made some terrible mis-
take"
For she knew George Markham
to be an honorable man, and ever
at such moment thought he must
be mistaken.
Thus melted, Pollard said:
"You are certainly mad to talk
SO, sir. L will not do any such
thing"
''Then take the consequences

ring which you have in your pock
ct, and which you stole from my
room, together with my purse.

silent for the sake of your father,
who was my valued friend. But
regretted my leniency afterward,
when l learned of some other vii
liany which you will hardly care
to have me disclose."
s'It is falseH' said Pollard.
But as he looked arourd he saw
in the faces of those around him
that his bluster was useless. Even
Lucy shrank from his side.
"Very well then, I will go On
with the recital" said George.
"Shall I?''
"No. It's no use. Here's your
ring. And l suppose you want
your money back?' said Pollard,
with curse, throwing down the
ring and pulling out his pocket
book.
II do. / want twelve hundred
dollars, with interest for four
years. said George, quietly.
Pollard counted out the money,
and started to leave the room.
Before he went, George said:
81 will take no further steps in
this matter unless some fresh vii
liany come to my knowledge. But
remember that there is a woman
who is entitled to your name, al
though she was deceived by a
mock marriage. See that a genu-
inc marriage is performed or you
may hear from me again."
The villain, thoroughly con-
quered, answered only with bow,
and was gone.
II am sorry to have been OBJ
liged to do this" George began;
but Mr.. Danforth interrupted him:
ssDon't think Of being sorry.
You have done US an estimableI
service.'
Lucy had left the room and
George soon made his exit; and
seeking Harry, again told him
Whai he had done. i
And in the fullness Of time he
had the pleasure Of dancing at his
brothers. wedding and OF being as
sured by that brother that Lucy
declared her love for Pollard to
have been nothing but a fancy,
which was entirely destroyed
when she learned his true char !

1t is difficult to lay down rules re-
garding quantity, for some fowls will
consume more food than do others.
One must use his own judgment, and
feed while they show eagerness and
good appetite, then quit. 1t is better
for health slightly TO uuderfeed than to
overteed. IL is folly to surfeit fowls,
with the idea that n fatty condition Of
the body is essential 10 reproduction
and vigorous offspring. Eggs laid bv
overfat hens are usually thin-shelled,
and if the male is also fat they are apt
to be nfertile; if fertile, the embryo
dies in the shell, too weak to liberia to
itself when developed, or is puny ard
delicate while growing.
During winter bestow comfort
proper care and food on your stock.
Many a poultryman has quit .he BUSH
ness in disgust because he did not rea ize
expectations after Uampered course
Of feeding or from net properly at
tending to the wants of his fowls.
Comfortable shelter, variety Of food,
cleanliness, pure air, Hight, agreeable
exercise, aud regularity Of feeding
and watering go great way toward
inducing fowls TO lay, even in winter,
while they are the main essentials
which beautify, develop and perfect
the organism Of all animal life.

American ex-shepherd realizes all this,

Aim to keep the hens always az

should be dug up with hoe or spaded.
If at any time odor comes up from the

it. This may be done by adding a gill
of carboic acid (crude) to four gallons
o. water and spriukling the yard with
an ordinary watering-pot. The poul-

The governor went upstairs to his
