"You know how we have planned and
talked about It," pursued Elliott gently.
Ralph needs a wife to make him realize
the responsibilities of life. We have
arranged for O quiet wedding-why
girl, don't stand as If I was pronouncing
sentence on you. Speak, can't you!'
cried Elliott, angry at the right OF the
pale face and downcast eyellds.
Ruth rallied with an effort.
"You wish ME to speak, father" she
said, in a strangely constrained voice,
that somehow chilled the eager Prescott
Il want to see some return of affection
and obedience for all my years Of care
and Kindness" replied her father in a
nettled tone. Not many girls can get a
husband that pleases all hands around,
and jump into fortune from fond, in
dulgent grandfather.
Il have always obeyed you, father,
replied Ruth, but in this-it can never
be-"
"How's that?"
Farmer Johns brow grew heavy and
dark.
1T can never be.
You won't marry Ralph?"
Il cannot.
Cannot? Will not, you mean. See
here, girl! If you have any lurking
thought that I will ever consider that
hypocrite jail-bird, Paul Dalton"
"Stop!"
Incisive as a clarion note the word
sounded forth.
"Stop!" repeated Ruth, drawing her
self erect like some affronted queen,
"he is no thief, no convict, and he is
my husband"
1t was out at last! Ralph Prescott
sank back crushed. Farmer John stared
at the girl as if he adjudged her sudden
ly bereft Of her senses.
Your husband" he gasped, incredu-
lousy.
Yes, you drove him away-you and
that wretch yonder. He told me it was
all false, and I believed him. He has
gone to seek the proofs of his innocence.
The night he left met him. We were
hurriedly married at the next town.

I, placed this barrier against your cruel
will, that would otherwise have made OF
marriage a mockery, crime, in linking

despise!"

sessed of the courage to tell it all; but.
lessly.
Farmer John regarded her in silence
for a moment; then, a cultural, choking
cry in his throat, he flashed out:
And this is true?"
Eyes; I am his wife"
The burly form trembled, the great
knotted hands went up in the air in
furious gesture, the lurid eyes glowed
with the pent-up rage Of an unmastered
spirit.
Then go!" he almost yelled. "Go!"
and he flung open the door with crash.
You are no child of mine; you have
chosen the jail-bird, the scoundrel; GO
find him. I pray heaven that my eyes
shall never again rest on the child who
has defied my authority, wrecked my
life, and broken my heart. Girl, I curse
you, I disown you out of my heart and
out of my home. Go! You are no child
of mine!"

ITO BE CONTINUED.
An Unpopular Trip.

Col. McCrOry was once travelling on
a railroad train as a plutocratic occu-
pant of Pullman. In this Car were
two people with whom he was &C
quainted. One was Miss Rachel Sher-
man, daughter of "Tecumseh," and
the other Gen. M. G. Butler, now
Senator from South Carolina. The
Colonel, naturally, with his we'll
known gallantry, did all in his power
to relieve the tedium Of the young
lady's journey, until certain acute
room, where he found his old friend,
Senator Butler, too willing to join
him with cigar. During their con-
versation the Senator asked:
"Colonel, who is that Incorporating
girl with whom you were talking when
first saw you?"
"Why, that young lady," said the
Colonel, "is Miss Rachel Sherman.
ANY relation to the SENATOR"
asked Butler.
mo; daughter Of Gen. William Te-
cumseh Sherman" answered McCrory.
well, I'll be dinged," said Butler,
who had known of Sherman during
the war in a way that was not al
ways agreeable to him, I'D like to
meet her. Will you kindly introduce
me?"
Certainly, with pleasure, answered
the Colonel, and he threw away his
cigar and took the Senator into the
car and introduced him to the young
lady. They began to chat on different
subjects and were very much interest
ed in each others observations. Final
ly Miss Sherman said:
Senator, am much interested in
the South and want to know more
about it than / do. What is the gen.
eral condition Of affairs now and how
are things getting along?"
"Well," said the Senator, with a
comical side glance at McCrory, 1--WE

Garden Hi

enough to make a test at least 100.
Count carefully. Place the seeds be-
tween wooden cloths mOistened With
tepid water. The cloths should be
boiled before they are used, and the
plate or pan in which they are laid
should be scalded to avoid the growth
of fungi or mold. For the same rea'
son, only recently boiled water should
be used for moistening the cloths. At
least two cloths should be laid upon
the plate. Then the seed is dis
trlbuted over them, and covered with
another cloth. If the reader can
cover the plate with glass he should
do so, as this will retard evaporation
and protect the cloths from floating
germs. Under these conditions and q
temperature of 20 to so degrees Fab
rcnheit, good seed will terminate
within ten days. Seeds of little vi
vality may terminate after ten Gays,
but they should not be counted in the
test, as they would probably fail to
terminate under field conditions.
Seed should not be used when more
than 10 per cent. fails to terminate,
if better seed can be produced in time
for testing and sowing. Cincinnati

Carrots for Horses.

Nothing is better for horses in
winter than carrots. They help to
regulate the bowels, make the coat
shiny, and keep the horse in good con-
dition. They seem to possess quail
ties which no other root or vegetable
has. While being a rather expensive
food to grow, yet they pay we'll. Two
or three every day, or every other day,
is all that is necessary to feed. Plant
a quarter or half an acre, or more,
and put the rows wide enough to al
ow of cultivation with horse.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.
To Raise Fine Tomatoes.

The tomato should be closely
watched and all laterals or suckers
that appear above each leaf kept off.
This will induce the plant to set
more fruit which, being we'll fed from
the rich soil, will grow larger and
ripen earlier than if the suckers were
allowed to grow. AS soon as the
plants are ten to twelve inches high
set good stake five or six feet high
by each plant and keep them we'll
tied up. This will keep the fruit
clean and it will not rot so badly as
when left on the ground. Tied to
stakes gives the sun a better chance
to ripen and it is easier to pick when
ripe. Take off all imperfect fruit as
it FORMS This will throw more force
and vigor in the well-shaped fruit,
causing it to grow larger and ripen
sooner. / have tested plants pruned

tage pruning was, says correspond
ent of Farm and Home. Those
pruned had much larger, better
shaped fruit that rotted less and gave
ripe fruit much earlier than those
not pruned. AS soon as the fruit is
grown let the suckers grow. They
will give you fruit then till frost.

Growing Straw berries.

With the thought of the health

fruit, it is surprise that so many
farmers can be found who make
no attempt in the line of cultivation.
1t is largely for the reason that there
exists belief that cultivation is diff
hcult. Where this is the case, we
should recommend the investment of

Asparagus.

Prepare ground for asparagus by
giving it a heavy coat of well rotted
barn yard manure, pillow and harrow
thoroughly, and run burrows about
five feet apart and set in a plant
every eighteen inches to two feet.
Give clean culture and an annual
dressing of manure for two or three
years when you go to cutting, and
the bed is good for lifetime, and, of
all the farm, the asparagus bed will
be the most profitable part. Aspara-
gus is generally in demand until the
middle Of June or 1st of July, after
which if kept clean until heads be-
gin to spread, it will then take care
of itself, and if away from trees or
buildings, the tops and weeds can be
burned off early in the spring without
injury to the roots; after which more
manure and thorough cultivation
should be given. -Prairie Farmer.
