ing to pay any price for the sake Of the
adventure.
It is New Years day, ant; q soft,
feathery snow fills the air, busy Feet are
hurrying hither and thither, bright,
CHEEKY faces look out from wooden
hoods or rich seal-skins, men muffled up
in great coats, and happy children al

How joyful is the world! At least
Grace Tremaine thought so, with sick
feeling at her heart, i'll and almost
hopeless, as she made her way among
the throng, hardly knowing where she
was going or why she was there. An
elegantly dressed lady, impatient at her
slow pace, and eager to pass. pushed
her rudely aside, and she would have
fallen had not gentleman hurried for
ward, and with gentle hand restored
her to her equilibrium.
Leaning against a lighted showcase,
Grace soon became lost in admiration
of the beautiful sights before her. The
gentleman standing near her watched
with intense interest and admiration
the beautiful, sad-faced girl who seemed
to have forgotten her sorrows in the en-
joyment of the beautiful things dis
played in the window; then he started
forward to render her such assistance
as he could, for surely she must be ill.
Her gaze was fixed as though it would
consume something before her, the
tears started to her eyes, and. placing
her hand to her head, she reeled as
though stunned.
Are you ill?" he asked, compassion
ately, and Grace, recognizing in him
the gentleman who had so kindly as
sisted her but few moments before.

added: And there is handsome sum

could say no more, for ker voice was
choked with sobs, aud she buried her
face in her hands.
Yes, sum of money" he answered,
puzzled at this demonstration of grief.

you in need Of money!"
YES" she answered. brokenly, every

Need the rest be told? A few years
later two women are obliged to meet
occasionally in society; one is unmar-
ried, the other is the gifted and famous
wife of Walter Fletcher, the wealthy
publisher.

continued Frank Rand, with look OF
genuine compassion in his eyes, and a,
the same time extending his hand with
frank sincerity. "You have been Civ.

clasp of Walter Fletcher's hand spoke
more than his lips could utter.
Walter Fletcher decided to profit by
his friends advice, and he was pro.

a lighter, when his eyes became fixed,
as though fascinated, on the delicate

ORCHARD MANAGEMENT,
Young Trees Need Both Manure an,
Mellow Cultivation.

Young Trees Need Both Manure and
Mellow Cultivation.
A common mistake in years past,
which the planters of orchards fell into,
was in supposing that orchards did not
require as much care and enriching as
any other crop on the farm. Many set
out young trees and gave them little
more attention. They enormously sup
posed that in time these trees would
bear abundantly Of fine fruit, and bring
them in plenty Of money The trees
were expected to take full care of them
selves. The result was that some died
the first year, good many the second
and in few years but few remained.
A neighbor set outa hundred fine peach
trees. They were transpianted into a
clover meadow, and allowed such chance
as the place afforded them. In two
years only three remained. Success,

planters who have the means avoid this
superficial practice, they will continue
to set the unwholesome example to
others, and perpetuate to a great degree
the slipshod style of orcharding. 1t is
we'll therefore for the planter to de-
termine beforehand what special atten-
ton can be given to the trees, and fix
on the size of the orchard accordingly.
Cultivation alone, keeping the soil
clean and mellow for several years,
may answer while the trees are young;
but when they come into heavy bearing,
this large annual draft can be supplied
by an annual or at least biennial top

fortunes, voted the remains of small
fortune to his education of the
only child; but expenses and bad
management soon exhausted his meager
bank account, and ruin was close
ly followed by the death of the
old Colonel. Grace was thus left en-
tirely alone in the world dependent
upon her own labor for her sustenance,
and with talents, as yet, crude and I'M
developed.
Hardships and privations soon left
their mark, and one clear frosty Christ
mas night found the girl wan with suf-
fering, in humble lodgings, and almost
without the necessities of life. Her sem
sitive nature had been stung by the m any
rebuffs and insults to which she had
Ieen subjected in her search for employ
ment. and she had financially become
reduced to the hardest and most poorly
paid of all female labor, plain sewing.
1t was a hard trial for poor Grace who
had no love for sewing, and a dumb tale
of misery was told by the thin, tired
fingers. A cruel stab by the hated
needle caused her to throw herself face
downward across the hard bed and give
way to uncomfortable emotion.
She had been working steadily all
day upon a dainty linen skirt for belle
on Fifth avenue, and it was with the
proceeds of her labor that she hoped to
buy her evening meal. Grace was ro-
mantle girl and dreamer; and as she
stitched she said to herself that per-
haps. as it was Christmas. and they were
all accordingly happy, they would for

In her has te to finish the tedious task,
in an unguarded moment the envious
needle, as though jealous of her am
bilious thoughts, buried itself deep in
her delicate finger, and the blood spurt-
ing from the ugly wound defaced the
snowy whiteness of the skirt she was
finishing.
What was she to do? The stain was
slight--to wash it would only tend to
increase the blemish-she could not
hope that the work would be accepted

FATTENlNG FOR MARKET.

Ono of the Most Important branches of
the Poultry Indu-try.
Vary the manner of cooking the food
as much as possible to induce the birds
to eat as much as they can. One day
boil the corn, another day mako mush
and another day boil in some vegeta-
bles or roots. Keep the board clean and
have fresh water or milk in dishes for
them; Slated bottom to the coop with
cut straw or chaff makes it more COM
Portable; move the coop every few days
to clean spot, then scrape the floor and
put fresh earth on and air slaked lime.
Feed three times a day. making sure to
give full meal each time. In three
weeks they will be fat if they were in
good condition when cooped.
Sometimes cooped birds begin to lose
their appetites after week or two. In
such cases the food must be varied and
prepared to induce them to eat. Corn
and barley mixed, ground corn, oats and
barley mixed, may be fed some days,
but the slaughter house pieces, with
meal mixed with the soup and shreds of
meat is the most appetizing food one
can give them. The old hens should be
fatted in the same way. 1t is best, too,
when putting up birds for fattening, to
have them about the same age and size.
They look and sell better in even lots.
AS much, if not more, depends on tie
manner of killing poultry as in the
dressing to have it look fit for market.
Too much caution can not be used in
this branch of the business. One mode
of killing fowls tinstead of wringing
the necks, which we deprecate) is to
cut their heads off with single blow
of sharp axe, hang them up by the
legs and allow them to bleed freely,
while warm. The French mode. which
is highly commended, we think far The
best, as it causes instant death without
pain or Disagreement, and is simply
done by opening the beak of the fowl
