had a brief talk. as result Of which
Mrs. Rayner refused to speak to Mrs.
Waldron at the evening party given by
Mrs. Stannard in honor of her and her
sister. 1t was this that brought on the
crisis. Whatever was said between the
men was not told. Maj. Waldron am!
Capt. Rayner had long consultation,
and they took no one into their conf
dence: but Mrs. Rayner obeyed her hus-
band. went to Mrs. Waldron and apollo
gized for her rudeness, and then went
with her sister and returned the call Of
the colonel's wife; but she chose bright
afternoon, when she knew well tho lady
was not at home.
She retired from the contest, appar-
emily, as has been said, and took much
Christian consolation to herself from tie
fact that at so great sacrifice she was
obeyhlg her husband and doing the duty
she owed to him. In very truth, how
ever, the contest was withdrawn from
her by the fact that for o week OF moro
after his evening at the Waldrons' Mr..
Hayne did not reappear in garrison, and
she had no cause to talk about him.
Officers visiting the house avoided men-
ton of his name. Ladies Of the cavalry
regiment calling upon Mrs. RayneI anil
Miss Travers occasionally spoke of him
and his devotion to the men and his
bravery at the fire, but rather rs though
they meant in a general way to compf-
ment the Riflers, not Mr.. Hayne; and 80
she heard little Of the man whose exist
ence was SO sore trial to he:. What
she would have said, what she would
have thought, had she known of she
meeting between him and her guarded
Nellie, is beyond us to describes but she
never dreamed of such thing. and
Miss Travers never dreamed of falling
hsr-for the present, at least. Fortu-
nately, or unfortunately, for the latter,
it was not 80 much Of her relations with
Mr.. Hayne as Of her relations with half
a dozen young bachelors that Mrs. Ray
ner speedily felt herself compelled to
complain. 1t was blessed relief to the
elder sister. Her surcharged spirit was
in sore need of an escape valve. She
was ready to boa over in the mental
ebullition consequent upon Dir. Haynes
reception at the post, and with all the
pent up irritability which that episode
had generated she could not have con-
tanned herself and slept.

CHAPTER VIII.

March had conle-the month Of gale
and buster, sleet and storm, in almost
every section Of our broad domain-and
March at Warrener was to the full as
clustering and constituencies as i'll New
England. There were few days Of sun
shine during the first week; then came a
fortnight Of raging snow storms. The
cavalry troops, officers and men, went
about>their stable duties as usual, but,
except for roll call on the porch OF the
barracks and for guard mounting over
at the guard house, ali military exercise
seemed suspended. This meant livelier
times for the ladies, however, as the Off
GERS were enabled to devote just so many
more hours day to their entertainment.
There were two or three hops a week
over in the big assembly room, and there
was some talk of getting up german in
honor Of Miss Travers, but the strained
relations existing between Mrs. Rayner
and the ladies of other families at tire
post made the matter difficult Of accom-
plishment.
There were bright little luncheon, din.
ner and tea parties, where the young
officers and the younger ladies met every
day; and. besides all this, despite the
fact that Mrs. Rayner had at first shown
a fixed determination to discuss the rights
and wrongs of "the Hayne affair" Us it
was now beginning to be termed, with
all corners who belonged to the Riflers,
it had grown to be very. general thing
for the youngsters to drop in at her
house at all hours of the day: but that
was because there were attractions there
which outweighed her combativeness.
Then Rayner himself overheard some
comments ON the mistake SHE was MAX
ing, and forbade her discussing the sub
ject with the officers even of her own
regiment She was indignant, and de-
handed reason. He would name no

Owls Are Better Than Cats.

The barn owl, when she has young.
brings to her nest mouse about every
twelve minutes, and, as she is actively
employed both at evening and at dawn,
and us male and female hunt, forty
mice day is the lowest computation
we can make. How soft is the plum
age of the owl, and how noiseless her
flight! Watch her as she floats past
the ivy tod, down by the ricks, and sill
emily over the old wood; then away
over the meadows, through the open
door, and out of the loophole of the
barn, round the lichened tower and
along the course of the brook. Pres
emily she returns to her four downy
young, with a mouse in one claw and
vole in the other, soon to be ripped
up, torn and eaten by the greedy,
swapping imps. The young and eggs
are found in the same nest. If you
would see the midday siesta of these
birds, climb up into some haymow.
There in an angle of the beam yon will
see their owlships snoring and blinking
wide their great round eyes; their duet
is the most unearthly. ridiculous, grave
noise conceivable, like nothing else
you ever heard. Here they will stay
all day, digesting the mice with which
they have gorged themselves, until
twilight, when they again issue forth
upon their madcap revels. This clever
mouser, then, has strong claim to our
projections; SO let not idle superstition

Most people take it for granted that
because musk is sold in what is called
a pod, therefore it is a vegetable pro-
duct. But the truth is, says the San
Francisco Argonaut. that it is an en-
tirely animal product, being sub
stance found in two or three inch sac
in the body of the little musk deer OF
Asia. The sac, when tied up and dried,
goes by the name of a pod among the
hunters who bring it into market.
Probably there are few things sub
iect to such adulteration, as one part
of pure musk will scent thousands OF
parts of some other powder mingled
with it, and as the pods sell from $l5
to &2O apiece the adulteration has its
profits, 1t is indeed SO pungent that
when Just fresh it has been known to
produce violent bleeding of the nose,
and many people are so susceptible to
It as to have sad headaches brought
about bv contact with the pure article;
and while suspicion of it is very
agreeable to many persons one atom
becomes offensive, as the case is with
patchouli and many other odorous SUBJ
stances.
It was formerly largely used In
therapeutics, especially in the Orient,
having become disused as much from
the difficulty of obtaining it in Q pure
state as from anything else, and it is
now seldom given except in hysteria
and hiccough.

The American Lion,

The mountain lion of North Amer
ica is one of the most dangerous of
the wild animals of the Far West.
Although called lion, yet this ami
NAL bears no resemblance to the
African lion except so far as its
fierceness is concerned. 1t really
belongs to the same family as the
wild cat or catamount, but is of
much greater size, generally being
about as large in body and limb as
a full-grown sheep dog. It,is rarely
seen in the vicinity of settlements,
except driven .thither by hunger,
when it will attack cattle, sheep,
horses or poultry, and at times hu-
man beings. But, as a general
thing, if not molested, it will not
attack human beings, though, if
wounded, there is no animal which
will make more desperate fght,
regardless of consequences.
1t cannot be driven off from an
attack as long as life lasts; it must
be killed to be beaten. Its chief pc
culiarity is its cry, which the most
experienced hunter has at times
mistaken for the wall of child in
distress. This feature makes the
beast more dangerous, especially if
he should establish bis lair in the
vicinity of settlement, because,
unless a person is an old-timer, he
will be deceived by that cry when
ever be hears it. 1t is the most
perfect imitation of a child's wall
of lament / ever heard, more per-
feet than the cleverest minnie could
utter -Chamhers Journal.

A PATRIOTIC DOG.
The Story Of "Budge," . Follower Of th
Army Of the Potomac.

Speaking of dogs" said Gen. 10.
Bartlett few evenings ago to Gen
McF eely, as he refectively sent thu
smoke of his cigar curling up to th<
ceiling. "do you remember that big
three-lcgged yellow dog called Bulge
that followed the army of the Potomac
during the early years of the war!
Well, Bulge was character, if may
be pardoned the expression. He wa!
a patriotic dog, too, for he was one O.

as they rolled along or plowed up the

cheerful pastime that Bulge lost hi

sir, some of the boys who witnessed tn,

and loyalty of that dumb brute. A
surgeon of the Twenty-seventh New

course of time it healed. Bulge was
all through the Pennsylvania campaign
and during the advance and retreat b,
hobbled along. and during engage

to Washington, took part in the second
battle of Bull Run, the battle O.

lifeless body of old Bulge, and by his
side was the wounded member of the
brigade who had been in the habit OF

with him when the rebels swept through

charges made. Bulge defended him

An Indian Specific for Snake Bitea

Hereafter, says the Los Angeles
correspondent of the New York Tri-
bune, when camping out parties are
formed the demUohn full of snake
bite cure will have to be replaced by
bundle of weeds, for I. K. Fisher,
an old citizen of Santa Barbara,
who is familiar with the habits of
the California Indians, claims to
have found out their remedy for
rattlesnake bites, which is species
of the plant Euphorbia. DR.. S.
Weir Mitchell of Philadelphia, re-
Gently stated in an article, which
has been copied by the California
press, that no specific was known
for the virous of the rattlesnake.
Mr.. Fisher saw this statement and
contradicted it, saying that the
plant referred to was a sure cure,
he even goes so far as to state that
the snakes themselves, when bitten
will make use of the remedy. THIS
receives corroboration from Frank
Smith, who lives at Whitewater, in
San Bernardino county, on the edge
Of the desert. He speaks most of
the Indian dialects. The weed, he
says, is a euphorbia, and is COM
mon through California and Arizo-
ma. It is a vine-like plant, radiat-
ing from center, growing close to
the earth; the leaf resembles the
clover, but is less than half as large.
When a stem is broken a milky ex-
udation follows, similar to that of
the "milkweed" of the East. Mr..
Smith gives this as the method of
application: The green weed should
be macerated in water, the skin
about the bite scarified and the
pulpy mass of the plant placed on
it and rubbed well inte it; this
should be repeated at intervals for
fifteen or twenty minutes, and then
a poultice of the same plant should
be bound on and left. Mr.. smith
holds that within forty-eight hours
all symptoms of poison will dlsap-
pear. So confident is he shat IN
the Banning Herald he offefS to
settle the discussion with DR.. Nit
chell in western style by offering tc
bet $500 or $1,000 that with the eu
phorbia he can cure any case Of
rattlesnake bite, and he will allow
DR.. Weir to pick out his own snake.
The Mexicans know the weed and
call it golondrino.
