Gracefully effecting her escape, she
rode slowly homeward, with sicken-
ing feeling of disgust. mingled with ex-
ultation.
Day after day passed ON, and while
outwavdly events pursued their usual
course Mabel's plot was progressing rap
idly.
Indeed it required all her skill and
tact to keep Jack Wingrow in proper
subsection.
But she was equal to the task, and
once fairly started in the scheme she
experienced strange, wild pleasure in
dipping the infatuated outlaw.
George had taken his employer into
their confidence and had selected sew
eral others whom he knew to be trust
worthy, and upon whose aid he relied
at the moment of action.
The outlaw chief had at length per-
suaded her, with great apparent diff

According TO their plans. Jack Win
grow was to appoint himself as guard
upon that particular night
Only one man was needed, at any
time, to act as such, for the cabin was
90 strongly built that an entrance could
scarcely be effected by force even if I'M
defended.
But with q half score stout fellows
at hand they could. as they thought,
effectually defy any force that might be
brought against them.
Mabel was TO arrive about midnight
and rap lightly upon the door, Wingrow
would open, and then, mounting their
steeds, they were to leave the cabin TO
care for itself until their flight was dis
covered.
The appointed night came at length,
and all was ready.
Mabel and George, leading their five
companions, fully armed and resolved
to conquer at all risks, rode out from
the settlement and proceeded toward the
outlaw stronghold.
The men crept as close TO the door as
they dared to. crouching low down in
the shade. Then Mabel advanced and
gave the signal.
A low voice called her by name, and
as she replied the door opened and Jack
Wingrow emerged.
Hist, don't make no noise. The men
are all asleep Let me- and he strove
to embrace the maiden, who avoided
him and stepped back.

lie sprang forward.
Without struggle Wingrow was
thrown down and hastily bound and
gagged.
Then the settlers noiselessly entered
the cabin and lighted the lamps until
all within was light as day.
The heavy slab door leading into the
vault was partially closed and secured.
Three men took their stations beside the
entrance with dubbed rifles, while
others stood with ready revolvers com
manding the doorway.
Then George set up loud cry Of
"Firel''
The desperadoes focked to the en-
trance, and one after another fell like
logs, while the young herder continued
his cries.
A wagon was procured, and the pris
oners were taken to the settlement
where the next day they were tried anS
condemned to death.
Mr.. Craythorne was as good as hi
word, and week after Mabel became

RAIN INDICATIONS.


why Cirrus Clouds Tell with Almost Ab
solute Certainty OF Coming storms.
In order TO better understand the role
placed by cirrus clouds as rain indica-
tors, we must first discuss the causes Of
these occurrences A study of the wealth
er indications and barometrical read
ings, as they appear in our daily papers
from the report of our Weather Bu-
reau," shows that areas of high or low
air pressure are constantly passing over
the earth's surface III irregular success
sion. The areas of high atmospheric
pressure-or barometric maxima, me-
teorologically expressed-stay longer in
one locality than the areas of low pres
sure - the depression or barometrical
minima. These last are more or less de-
fined currents of air, which circle in
the form of wind around the region of
the lowest atmospheric pressure, NOV
ing always from north to west or from
south to east-the reverse of the hands
of clock. 1t must not be imagined,
however, that the air simply moves
around this area of depression, but rather
that it is constantly being drawn into
its center and is carried upward in great
whirls or spirals- As the air rises, it ex-
pands and becomes colder. The vapors it
contains condense into clouds and final
" are transformed into rain. The GEN.
ter of the barometrical depression is
therefore marked by cloudy, rainy
weather. The wind which encircles the
depression becomes more active as the
difference of the atmospheric pressure
becomes more Marked or, in other
words, as the barometer falls.
In brief, therefore, barometrical de-
pressions are caused by hinge ascending
spirals, or whirls of air, which are car
ried upward to extreme heights, and
from there are waited in any direction.
In these heights the humidity of the at
mosphere is frozen and is waited away
in closed forms which are composed of
ice crystals These are none other than
cirrus clouds. and they may float SOW
eral hundred miles from the seat of the
depression. 1t will now be seen why
cirrus clouds may be justly regarded as
forerunners of rain, even when they
make their appearance in clear weather.
They tell with absolute certainty of an
approaching atmospheric depression,
and this is subStantiated by gradual
falling of the barometer soon after they
make their appearance. Home and

How much pleasanter this world

we did not yield so often to small
worries. It is our fault as a ma
tion, in so far as women are con-
cerned. If statistics on the sub
ject could be collected we should
be astonished to a degree; nay,
shocked, to learn the number to
whom constant worrying over tri-
files brings invalidism and untime-
ly death. 1t may be, doubtless
often is, tempera,nental, but there
are few peculiarites of tempera-
ment that cannot be lessened, if
not wholly eradicated, if one only
has the radical amount of patience.
endurance, and courage. Some
worrying women are to be. pitied
Others to be dispised. Women
who worry over their children;
over the dispensation of their hos
pitalities, till life is scarce worth
living. There is the woman who
worries if Fido's eyes look dull,

The other proposition .announ-

equally sound. An honest man
cannot favor dishonesty in cleo

think otherwise. They may ima-
CINE that they can tolerate fraud

rates and taxes of his country,
whereas the married man has to
pay for both bis own privileges
and those of the single man. This,
to say the least, is unfair. Why
then not revert to an ancient US
age and subject the bachelor to
pecuniary penalties for his self
appointed immunities from the
cares of domestic life.
When a proposal was made not
20 long ago to tax the bachelors OF
France as they were taxed in the
days of the first republic, the fact
was recalled that republics gener-
ally have been hard upon the cell
| The wise Plato condemned the
single men to fine, and in Spar
ia they were driven at stated times
into the temple of Hercules by the
women, who there drilled and cas-
tigated them in true military
style.
The ancient Romans, too, were
severe with their bachelors, who
were made to pay heavy fines, and
worse than. that, for, after the
seige of Veri, Canilus is recorded
to have compelled them to marry
the widows Of the soldiers who
we're killed in the war.
Again, in the time of Augustus,
the married mon, all other things
being equal, were preferred to the
single men for pub,ic Office. Then
the Roman who had three child
rem was exempt. from personal
taxes, and the bachelor not only
had to pay them, but was preven-
tod from inheriting' the property
of any one not a Roman citizen.
Coming TO more recent times,
No have several instances ofs like
kind recorded for us by a writer
on the subject. In the French
: settlement of Canada, for instance,
> women were sent over, after the
men, and the single men, that they
might be forced to marry, were
subjected to a heavy tax and in q
restriction ony their trade and
J movements generally.
On the other hand those who
married were dealt with a gener-
|our spirit. Not, only were they
provided with a good wife and a
comfortable home, but were re-
wsrded according to rthe number
of their outspring. The father Of
} ten children, for instance, was

"What Will the Harvest Be-"
Undoubtedly, there is no query
that enters the minds of the peo-
pie of Buffalo county oftener or
with more force than the above,
and especially is this true just at
this time, because of the recent
failures of crops, and at this time
of the year people have more
lie isure to consider such questions,

course to pursue iu the future.
There are a large number OF us
in this county who have invested
all we have here, and under the
existing circumstances it is almost
impossible for us to realize much
Of anything from what we have,
and the question a~raises again,
"What will the harvest be?" and
what are we going to do9
Nearly all who have ever lived

Of one mind-that they would
rather live here than any place
they ever were, if they could only

a lack of moisture. 1t is a con-
coded fact that the soil is very
hard to beat, beng rich and very

In teaching a calf to drink l never
allow the calf to suckle, but remove it
as soon as dropped to a roomy pen,
with the floor well Uttered with straw,
letting the little fellow remain until
six, eight or even twelve hours old,
then put freshly drawn milk from the
mother in a ten-quart pail, get the calf
into a corner of the pen, straddle his
neck with my legs and put his head
into the pail. Frequently a calf will
drink directly. without ever sucking:
If he refuses put a finger in his mouth
and induce him to suck the milk in that
manner.
If he is obstinate and will not suckle
the finger, try a little coaxing, and if
this does not work leave him a little
| while longer. Hunger will at length
conquer, although it seems severe to
| resort to such q measure. After the
fourth or fifth trial the finger can be
| gradually removed, and the calf will
| drink without further trouble. For a
week let the calf have the milk direct
from the cow. then feed sweet skim
milk, with a little bran or middlings
| sifted in. The milk is warmed until
the calf is a month old, and then grad
ually weaned to cold our milk. From
the time they are a month old keep
fresh hay before them, and you will be
surprised to see how quickly they will
learn to eat. Cor. American Agricult
