CHAPTER III.

1t was n beautiful day. which was so
much in fskor Of Mrs. Frank Armour
in relation to her husbands people.
General A!mour and his wife had come
down from London by the latest train
possible thit their suspense at Liver
pool might be short They said little
to each other, but when they did speak
it was Of tlings very different from the
skeleton which they expected to put
into the family cupboard presently.
Each was tying to spare the other. 1t
was very touching. They naturally
looked upoh the matter in its most un-
promising light because an Indian was

Agnes Marlling. Not that the Armours
were Jealous for mere money and title,
but the thihg itself was altogether apro-
DOS. as Mrk Armour had more naive
" than correctly put it. The general,
whose noJledge Of character and the
circumstances of life was considerable,
had worked out the thing with much
accuracy. HE had declared to Richard
in their quiet talk upon the subject that

called il q bolicy Of retaliation, so that
now he wal very near the truth. When
they arrivetl at the dock at Liverpool,

harbor.

himself, "Sevastopol was easier than

Such spots can never be 10 IL home free.
Home freedom means thrill 10 every nerve,
And peace, and calm, that surges seek In vain
He who hath known such JOY without reserve
Can never know Its loss without pain.
Loved spots and scenes that we hold dear
Are here howe 'er so lowly Il the place
Where we have lived, and labored year by year
And struggled with misfortune to keep pacel

And grace the cherished scenes we are to

And heart ne'er knows home comforts as they

Looks not outside the pale OF home To roam
For any JOY or happiness; his sky
Holds naught but silver stars OF homei

her what General Armour had said. She
nodded now, n flash Of pleasure light
ing up her face, and she slid ont her
beautiful hand To him. The general took
it and pressed it mechanically. his hps

harder than he meant, for his feelings
were at tension She WINGED slightly
and involuntarily thrust out her other
hand, as if to relieve his pressure. As
she did so the blanket fell away from
her head and shoulders. Lambert. with
excellent intuition, caught it and threw
it across bis arm. Yhen, quickly and
without embarrassment, he and Mrs.
Townlcy greeted General Armour, who
returned the greetings gravely, but IN a
singular confidential tone. which showed
his gratitude. Then he raised his hat
again to Lali and said, Come and let
me introduce you-to your husbands 5

which carried off the bizarre event.
There was timidity Ill her face, and yet
a kind Of pride, too, though she was only
a savage. The ease, even at this critical
moment, did not seem quite hopeless.
When they came to Mrs. Armour, Lab
shrank away timidly from the look IN
the mother eyes, and shivering slightly
looked round for her blanket. But Lam
bert had deity passed it on TO the foot
man. Presently Mrs. Armour took both
the girls hands i'll hers-perhaps she
did it because the eyes of the public
were on her. but that is neither here
nor there, she did h-and kissed her Oh

And that was the second act in Frank

the Armours had a compartment to

girl as comfortable as possible, without
self consciousness, without any artificial
politeness. So far what they had done
was u matter Of duty, not OF will, but
they had done their duty naturally all

now. They had no personal feelings to-

GRANTS EYES WERE WET.

The rumored engagement Of Nellie
Grant Sartoris and General kyd Doug
las. recalls, SAYS Eugene Field in the
Chicago Record, TO the public mind the
beautifully tender attachment which
General Grant manifested for his daugh-
ter.
The union OF Sartoris was opposed to
the limit bv the Young lady's parents !;
subsequent events proved too clearly
that the old folks estimate OF Sartoris'
character had been correct.
Sartoris was drunkard, and there Ia
no language probably adequate 10 por-
tray the misery and the humiliation TO
which he subjected his wife. To add to
the wretchedness OF her life the family
OF the drunken husband utterly declined
10 receive the young wife or To accord
her that recognition TO which, as the
daughter OF General Grant, she had
been accustomed and was entitled.
Mrs. Sartoris may have kept silent; !;
her womsnly pride kept her from telling
her parents of the dreadful mistake she
had made. But rumors OF her misery
came from over the sea, and they caused
General Grant constant solicitude.
One time Hugh Hastings went down
to Long Branch to visit with the Grants.
He was told that the general was sitting
on the rocks overlooking the sea. and
surely enough, he presently discovered
Grant perched on rock and gazing, In
apparent abstraction, over the waters.
Hastings stole softly up and put his
hands over Grants eyes, saying, Now
guess who il is
But Hastings drew his hands back al
most Immediately; they were wet with
tears. Grant was weeping.
Hastings was too surprised to say
anything. Grant looked up.
"Hello, Hughey." said Grant, kindly.
"You are CRYING, General. What has
happenedg What Is the matterg' de-
manded Hastings.
Grant came pretty near breaking down
but by heroic effort he pulled him
self together. Ave get bad news from

BOARD BULLETIN FOR JULY.

AUGUSTA, July IL, 1885.
In the July Bulletin, besides treating
of the silo as special subject we have
endeavored 70 carry along the observa-
tions in relation TO our growing crops
and present such statements as NAV
seem 10 be Of value in determining their
condition as compared with former
wears. Replies 10 the questions have
been received from mere than two hun
dred correspondents, and as they are
averaged by counties they will present a
very fair statement of the condition and
prospects of our Maine crops. We are
pleased to note that there is tendancy
toward fuller appreciation Of the value
OF such crops as can be successfully
grown in Maine, both for use in the
home aud In the stables, aud look 70 see
the cost Of producing manv OF our mar
ket crops materially reduced thereby.
The questions for this Bulletin are as
follows:
/. What is the condition of the hay
crop?
,. What is the condition of the pas
lures:
;. Has there been any efforts toward
the Improvement of pastures In your
vicinity:
4. IL YOU have prsctised rotating
your pastures with your crops, please
give results.
:. What is the amount. condition
and kinds OF grain, as compared with
last year:

Of hoed crops as compared with last
year:
:. State any new methods or efforts
for improving your roads, which you
NAV have noticed.
The averages by counties are as fol-
lows:
