CHAPTER XVI.
CONCLUSIOS.

Meantime, while the events were pro
ceeding at the chateau, Houzel, the for
ester, had conducted himself more like a
mailman than a rational being. \ name
less rage, tempered with dread, pursued
him. During the loag nights he watched
the windows of the chateau, where he
knew the wounded officer was lying; then,
when day came, he wandered through the
woods and by the saa, a prey TO his own
stormy thoughts.
AS the enemy came nearer, overrunning
the district, Houzel was among the fore
most in resistance until, on the very day
of the Chevalier's return, he was ought
lurking in the woods near the village, after
having just fired from the bushes at some
officers Of the enemy. Dragged from las
hiding place, struggling like Wild beast,
and loudly proclaimlug his treacherouS
deed, he was given a shoft shrift. He died
fearlessly and defiantly, and as he fell the
last word on his lips was the name of his
mistress.
Two years had passed away, when, on
the first day of the new year, a little party
was gathered together in the Chateau of
Grandpre At the head of the table sat
the Chevalier de Gavrolles, still partly
crippled by his wounds, but otherwise
we'll and strong. Facing him was his
daughter Blanche, little paler and sadder
than of old, but as beautiful as ever
On his left sat worthy DR.. Huet and t! G
little cure, and on his right with eyes ever
fixed on Blanche in tender respect and
affection, the German officer of Uhlans, in
plain civilian dinner costume, like any
ordinary gentleman.
The Chevalier had his glass charged,
and was in the act of giving a toast.
The old year has gone ont in peace;
may the new year bring further forgive
ness and reconciliation. Peace for France!
Peace for the world"
Amen to that" said Hartmann.
The old landmarks change, proceeded
the Chevalier smiling. Who would ever
have prophesied that n savage Teuton
would ever be welcome in the Chateau of
Grandpre? Yet Blanche will have it so,
it seems"
No, father, cried Blanche, blushing;
1T was you yourself that wrote TO Ger

Huet. "Corbleu! l did not want to have
another funeral; and as mademoiselle was
so delicate, | prescribed the only remedy"
A merry peal Of laughter went round the
table

the German. 4 find my nationality where

my darling nurse; and if ever the nations

cried the Chevalier.
And all drank the toast again together.

POULTRY culture is one of the most
healthy employments that any one can
be engaged in. If you want exercise and

fowls.
DON'T forget TO keep your poultry
house well whitewashed. 1t can be done

you respect the health of your f1ocks,
their houses must be kept clean.
CHARCOAL is a wonderfully useful
article to feed to poultry. 1t acts on the
blood, and tones it up, the results of
which are readily noticeable in the
bright color of the comb and wattles,
and activity displayed by the chicken
itself
THE Langshan fowl is one of our very
best table ornaments; the epicure can
testify to this. 1t has delicious, tender
flesh, grain short and flavor very deli

this useful breed.

There isn't man in England, except
perhaps Gladstone, says Wilder IN nus
book. whose opinions are oftener quoted
yet Labouchere is continually enter
tanning. He has glorious place for the
purpose. too; it is Pope's historic villa
at T gickenham, on the Thames, only
little way from the heart of London.
Besides entertaining bis friends and ac-
quaintances, he allows the general pup
lie the liberty of his beautiful GROUNDS
great deal of he time. He has an odd
way of intimating when he wants the
general crowd to depart, but 1t never
falls to work; on top of his house is a
clock, visible from ell parts OF the
grounds, and when the proprietor
wishes to give notice to quit he simply
sets the hands forward an hour or two. /

met Mr.. Labouchere. l wrote him

with an invitation to his villa.
When / sent up my card l was ushered
into the presence of two men, one OF
HON was short, with whiskers about
his face, his clothes rather unkempt and
bis shoes down at the heei-a man who
was very quiet in his manner. The 9TH

q good deal TO say, and moved around
and talked in SO authoritative manner
that ! Immediately assumed he was La

discovered my mistake aud felt Ike
pinching myself. Mr.. Labouchere and
Mr.. Blaine resemble each other greatly
in one respect; each can talk with you
by the hour and make you tell every
thing you know, while he gives you lit
tie or nothing. They give you the i'm
preston right away that they listen TO
everything yon say, which is highly
tiattering, yet often, after you leave
them. you want to kick yourself for say

That evening DR.. Huet stood by
Blanche's bedside, watching her as she
slept under the influence of narcotic adj
minis tered in the afternoon. Suddenly'she
stirred, moaned family and opened her
ewes. The wild look of delirium had faded
from her face and DR.. Huet saw that she
recognized him.
Then. in moment, came memory,
flashed before her like a mirror. All her
brain was clear and he saw that she re-
membered With wild cry she covered
her face with her hands and uttered her
fathers name.

back the dead.
Who was that stirring the shadow of
the door and listening? Blanche could
not see, for her eyes were blind with tears.

"Madenoiselle, do not weep. 1 have

\ Dakota Heroine.

Miss Lizzie Dufiield, who has spent
the past six years in South Dakota. was
among tie first young ladies to brave
the hardships of claim life and take up
land in Dakota. and she is now the for
tunate owner Of 800 acres OF excellent
farm land, half of which is a short dis
lance from Harold, Hyde County. The
other quarter section is near the thriv-
ing town of Aulkton, and all Of which

time. All the adventures Of life far out
upon the prairie, with the nearest
neighbor q mile and a half distant, the
perils in storm and flood sud the dang
er of living alone for weeks at time,
have been undergone. She was one OF
those brave and resolute Dakota school
teachers who, with a few pupils under
her ctre, encountered the awful storm
of January, 1855. During the long n ght
which followed the dreadful blizzard,
with scant fuel, she kept herself and the
children from freezing only by the ut
most exertion until all were rescued
from their fearful situation at O'clock
TIE next morning. Miss Dutlield has
gained an enviaDle reputation as d
teacher.

THE STOCK-RANCH.
Iu-brcedinC and Inter-brcedinE.

These terms have often been used by
writer's on breeding domestic animals,
as synonymous; but they are really of
quite different significance. inbred
ing means the mating of animals which
are more or less closely related; while
inter breeding, says American Aaricut-
tUriSt, is the mating of cross bred ami
mails that have no relationship with each
other. For example, suppose n Short
horn and a Hereford are bred together,
the offspring possesses half the blood OF
each. Next, suppose the same of a Sus-
sex and Devon, then the offspring of
these two crosses bred together. This
would he inter- breeding, their parents
having no consanguinity of blood be-
tween them. 1t is safe course to pur-
sue; and for the attainment of special
ends may ut times prove quite an advan-
tage to the cattle breeder. In breeding
or breeding in-and-in, as it is more
generally termed, is dangerous unless
to person of great experience, ana who
is a perfect judge of the PROJECTIONS and
imperfections of animals; then it NAV
be advantageous. 1t is frequently fol
lowed by the unskillful with a loss of
size, thrift, and constitution; and,
finally, by barrenness. Fatal diseases
are also to he dreaded; for suppose one
parent is touched with a disease, in con-
sequence then of its consanguinitv to
the other. this viii be likely to be inten-
sitied in the off spring; and if both par
cnts have the same disease, it Will prob
ably be doubled or quadrupled in viru-
lence,

Robert Healey, an old and well-known
citizen, with a romantic history, died
on the Sth at his home in Anamosa, la,
aged 50 years. Deceased was a native
OF County Waterford, Ireland. He re-
celyed classical education in the old
country, entered the Catholic priest
hood on obtaining his majority, and
DON after joined the Order of Trap
lists. In lS45 be came to America in
company with the monks who estab-
llshed the famous monastery at New
Mellary, Ia. I1ealey was one of the
leaders of this sturdy band and main
tanned his connection with it until 1859,
when he fell violently in love with a
beautiful young lady VINO lived near the
monastery and whom he was IN the
habit OF meeting clandestinely from
time TO time. The two became so deep
ly enamored with each other that
Healey finally broke the vows of life
long celibacy he had taken by marrying
the young lady, for which act he was
expelled from the order and
accommodated from the Catholic
church. Disowned by his brother
monks and denied the benefits of the
church, he became morose and hypo-
chondriacal, which resulted in partial
dementia before his death. During the
civil war he entered the service on the
Union side and was one of the bravest
