| Have you been into the village, Hou-

Blanche looked at the dog.

you wish. Comet"
Tie shouldered his gun and held forth
| his arm. Blanche laid her hand on it, and
the two walked away together.
They soon reached the chateau. Their
arrival was opportune, for the servants,
alarmed at the protracted absence of their
mistress, had armed themselves with
torches, and, headed by old Hubert, who
was trembling with fear, were preparing
to set out in search of Blanche. With
low bow to his mistress and conteml,tu-
Gus look of the quaking figure of the old
butler, Houzel turned from the chateau to
retrace his steps through the forest, when
the voice of his mistress arrested him.
"Houzel, she said, very gently, you
are very rash and headstrong. Promise
me that you will not rush heedlessly into
danger"
But must go and bury your dog, made
moiselle"
BE it so; but come to me when you re-
turn, that ! may know you are safe.
Flushed and elated, Houzel retraced his
steps along the road which he and Blanche
had trodden. All was quiet now and the
moon was shining brightly. The hound
lay where he had fallen; and Houzel saw
now, what he had not noticed before,
white tilmy substance lying near to the
hound
Trembling with emotion, he kissed the
precious token and thrust it into his
breast then, lifting the dog, he made his
way again to the chateau. He reached it
unmolested. But instead of entering, he
carried his burden straight to the garden
and buried it near the sun dial as Blanche
dad directed Then he went to the house,
and was shown straight to the drawing

TIE DAIRY.
The Jersey rs "a Family Cow.

Except by those who have had ex-
perience in the rich ilk-giying quail
ties of the Jersey as a family COW, and
her gentle, easygoing habits and doclie
and affectionate disposition, that seem
almost insepaa,bly associated with the
race, but little idea can be formed of the
real luxury and solid comfort to be de-
rived from this source of necessary sup
ply to the family needs. Every family
requires milk and cream, and III cities
and towns III almost every section of
the country the universal cry goes up
eondemning the quality of these articles
as furnished by the average dalryman;
hence, those whose surroundings and
circumstances are favorable adopt the
more satisfactory plan of obtaining the
supply from their own family COW.
There is no animal so we'll and so
thoroughly adapted for this purpose as
the Jersey. She is pre- eminently con
stituted and, it might almost be SAID,
specially bred for it. In her natlye
island all the cows are III a manner
family cows, and by the daily customs
under which she grows up, her associa-
tions with the members of the family,
especially of the women, are most lnu-
mate.

4 Utterly terrified, Blanche remained il
her hiding place, watching what followed
in trembling fascination. As the dos
/ darted out, showing his teeth, one of the
horsemen wheeled swift as lightning anG
! covered him with a pistol. There was a
| fash, report and the poor animal lay
/ dead upon the ground.
| The man who had fired the shot was a
| sinister looking, middle aged soldier, with
| a ferocious black mustache; he was short
and somewhat stout and crouched low IN
the saddle. His companion, who had rid
den on past the spot, but who now came
| quickly back, was many years younger and
| very tall; his beard and mustache We're
| golden yellow, and the expression OF his
face, though stern, not at all forbiddlng.
refining in his horse he spoke rapidly in
/ German. The other replied with a gruff
laugh and pointed his spear at the dead
hound.
Clouching in the bushes, Blanche felt
her heart swell with mingled hate and
hcrr5r. To her simple mind the men
seemed scarcely human, resembling rather
the savage monsters of popular magma
ton.
She perceived now that the man who
had fired the shot carried on his saddle
bow some straw, n bunch of vegetables and
a couple of dead geese.
They spoke together for some moments;
then, to her terror she saw the younger
soldier pointing eagerly to the place where
she lay hidden, and saying something
which was received by his companion with
an incredulous shrug of the shoulders.
Then she beard he sharp click of pistol
lock, and simultaneously saw the elder
man ride close up to the bushes, pistol i'll
hand.
Something clearly attracked his atten-
ton, for he uttered loud expression in
German, atthe same moment pointing the
weapon straight toward the hlding-place
of the unlucky girl
The other called to him impatientlv, as
if requesting him to leave the spot, but he
was determined.
For moment her fate hung in the bal
ance; his finger was upon the trigger, and
ne was III the act to fine. But suddenly his
companion uttered cry of warning, and,
riding quickly to his side, placed hand
upon his arm.
Take care, Vo3el!" he said, still in Ger
man. 1T is only a woman"

THE FARM.
Keeping SurperHuous Horses.


1t is comparatively few farmers who
can accomplish all that they expect.
They lay out plans that requires more
men and team help than they can com
mand. OF late years it is Increasingly
difficult to hire reliable farm help; but
horses are always to be had for the
money, if the farmer wants to purchase
them. 1t is in this way that many over
stock themselves with horses. The evil
is the worst for the feet that an idle
horse in the stable is a temptation to The
owner or to his family to drive around
the country instead of attending strictly
to their business. We believe that
farmers do we'll to visit each other and
learn different and improved methods of
farming; but the season for this is mainly
in Writer, when farm work is not press
ing. 1t is hardly possible for farmer
to leave work for anything in the grow
ing season without loss.

CHICAGO, H., July 6.-Judge Tuley re-

court based his refusal to issue the
writ on the ground that the petit

release from jail, and did not ask for
the alternative relief of admission to

was entitled to. The Judge directed
therefore, that the petition be amended

THE STOCk-RANCH.
Rye as Food for Swine.


We are strong in the belief that few
farmers know the true value of rye for
this purpose, says J. NJ. Jamison. in
SlrjRe Breeders journal. Rye may be
sown in corn the last time it is cult
waited, with reasonable assurance that it
VIII make n good catch, and If the
weather is at all favorable will make a
large growth and furnish a great amount
OF forage for swine and other farm stock
in the fall. For a fresh bite in winter
when the weather is open, we know of
no green food that is more acceptable to
the hogs. They thrive remarkably we'll
on tit brightens up their coats and
tones up the system. Its great value to
them as a forage plant comes in the
spring before the grasses have made
sufficient growth for grazing. If the
grasses have tendency when young to
produce too much action of the bowels,
this charge cannot be laid to rye. 1t APP
pears to meet the demands of the sys-
tenn as a succulent food completely.
Many men on poor lands would grow
hogs if their land would stand corn
cropping, for under a system of corn
growing it is hard to keep up the land.
With the aid of rye this can be very
much remedied if not overcome alto
gether. Rye does not shade young
clover as badly as wheat, and if all IS
left on the land it acts as a mulch to the
clover the first winter. When rye is
grown to hog down, a bushel to a bushel
and peck is sufficient amount to seed
to the acre. 1t can he sown much later
than wheat. We have known it sown
about the 1st of November and n good
stand secured. To make profit by hog
glng it, certain conditions must be OBJ
served. After the rye is ripe it should
fall and be softened by contact with the
SOIL Our experience is that the hog de-
rives but little benefit from eating the
grains when dry and hard. They do not
mastHate them properly and they are
voided without the appearance of having
been swelled, a condition they should
show after soaking it water twenty four
hours
