made dllgent inquiry to discover II

glad when no one could be found to own
her.
One day-tlve years later-a big. dark.
bushy bearded man, whom Mary fancied
she had seen pass the shop on several
occasions. went in and asked for a
couple OF cheese-cakes. These he ate,
and then asked for another and another
until he had eaten a dozen. Mary felt
inclined to refuse him more for fear he
should do himself harm.
But while he was lingering the thlr-
teenth Elsie bounded into the shop, and
the man turned round with a start and
let the cheese-cake fall He stopped to
pick 1t up, and al he did so he beckoned
TO the little girl, at the same time hold
ing out the confection as bribe.
Slowly Elsie approached him. Then,
turning to Mary, he asked II he might
give her the cake.
Yes" she replied. there is nothing
in II to hurt her"
The man watched the little one eat 1t,
bending on one knee the while. Then he
rose and said:
She's n little beauty. ma'am, and I've
no doubt as intelligent as she is pretty"
About n week later Mary saw the
same man hanging about just after
dusk, When he perceived that he was
observed, he walked away. This hap
pened again week or two later. and she
feared the man intended TO carry on
her darling. Wherefore she had Elsie

Mary did not see the man again. and
was in hourly dread lest he should find
cut where the child was and manage Ia
kidnap her. At length she received a
letter bearing a Hull address, asking her
il she would give up Elsie to her father
on payment of the charges to which she
had been put for her keep. The letter
was signed Thomas Walker"
Mary wrote to Walker" asking him
to call and see her II he were really the
father OF Elsie.
A few days later she received visit
from the man who had eaten the dozen
cheese-cakes, Seated together in her lit
tie sitting-room, Mary questioned the
man as TO his reasons for leaving Elsie
as he did.

1t might likewise have been added that

a decidedly comely woman-tall as wo-

lar oval face, blue eyes and kindly
well-shaped mouth. At the time OF our
story her hair was almost white, al
though she was barely forty years or
age. But trouble makes more gray hairs
than age.
Mary's trouble had been the death of
all her relatives one after another,
leaving her at last without a single blood

wide world One OF her friends, an old
maid like herself, used to say she must
have relatives somewhere, II she could

The asouizcd father neither ate nor

Minutes that seemed like days passed

Then to the anxious watchers came re-

doctor bade them hope, and with 4

For some days Elsie was very weak

Effect Of Previous Maturing on
Yield OF Corn.

Since 1883 On experiment tss been 10
progress to determine how 'ong, aftel
using. applications Of fertilizers and M.
nure will continue to increase the yieldl
of corn. In 1883 and 1884 fresh horse
manure, gas lime and superphosphate
were applied separately 10 certain platl
coro continuously since 1879. In the
two years above named the applicatlons
OF horse manure amounted to 50 two
horse loads per acre the two applications
Of gas lime and superphosphats each
amounted to 500 pounds per acre. The
above usmed years are the only ones Ia
which any manure or fertilizer has been
used. Ten crops of corn have been
grown since the 6rst application Of for.
tilixers and manure. The crop Of 1857 10
not considered, however, ia calcu lating
the results, % II was slmost . total fail
ure owing to severe drought.
Both the gas lime and superphosphate
have been practically without edeot on
the yields OF corn. The horse manure
has caused . considerable increase il
yield Of corn every year. Tho average
increase for the horse manure 10 . tribe
over IL bushels per acre. This gives .
total increase Of little more than lo8
bushels per acre for nine crops. The
increase in yield Of corn was nearly
seven bushels per acre in 1899, and this
was the tenth crop grown since the hrst
application Of the manure. The results
Of this experiment strongly smphasizs
