AGRICULTURAL NOTES.

Potatoes, corn wax beans and Gu
cumber seeds have been furnished by
the agricultural department at Wash
ington for the gardens of Boston's I'M
employed who will cultivate vacant
lots in the city and suburbs.
An important improvement has been
made to the system of gathering gov
eminent crop reports. crop cores
pondent is to be secured in, each town
ship in every state, instead of four 70
a county, as at present. This will give
a corps of about $4,000 township cor
respondents. Twenty states have been
selected in which to make trial OF
the new system. In these states about
nine-tenths of the wheat and corn of
the country are raised.
The Illinois state grange proposes to
have each live grange in the state
send a committee into adjacent fields
least one new grange before the close
to work up the preliminaries for at
OF the present grange year. Ii the
plan is fully carried out it will mean
that the number of oranges in Illinois
will be doubled or nearly so in 1895.
The science of feeding is yet in its
primary stages and will not make very
rapid progress until the actual feeders
become accurate observers and are
willing to report results.
We regret to say that the present in
dications are that there will be an in
crease of land tenancy. The prospects
OF increasing values for country es-
tates will aid this tendency

Valuable as ensilage is, it is not
within the reach of the farmer who
keeps only one or two COWS. The en-
silage pit for so small a number can
not be used to keep fodder economical
Iy A good supply of carrots and par
ships is not only substitute for en-
silage, but even better than it, as
these roots have greater nutritive val
ue than corn fodder enlisage, and there
is no difficulty in keeping them. They
are both half-hardy plants and should
be sown early so as to get we'll rooted
before the hot, dry weather comes.

and in that thought-bitter it was

after three years absence, I return to
Garth to find you still Alicia Penrith.
Oh, my little child, my sweet love-"
cried poor Herman, softly, why did
you creep into my heart unaware, and
rob me so utterly of my old content?"
Alicia was crying; she could not
help it. Was it possible, she found
herself wondering, to taste such hap
piness and live?
you should have spoken before,
Herman" she wept, turning upon him
her wistful, wet eyes; we've might
have been happy sooner. Have you
never guessed that I loved you-love
you still? The world was nothing to
me when I had once seen you, Her.
man. If you had never spoken,
should have died Alicia Penrith."
"Alicia!'
Was he dreaming? Had his ears
played him false?
How could l help loving you?" she
cried, passionately, when you have
been so good and true to me?"
The strains of the voluptrous music
still filled the perfumed air, but al
ready out -of-doors the black night
was rolling away, and the gray dawn
streaking the ebcn clouds that lay
piled in the eastern sky.
think, Alicia" Merryweather said,
unsteadily, shrinking from over-eager-
ness in taking advantage of her sweet
consent. "You may live to repent
your rashness of this night in the
years to come Remember, my dar
ling, my age is nearly twice your
own"
Were it three times as much, or
even more" she whispered, with glis-
tening eyes, woman-like reckless on
her dizzy pinnacle of happiness, sit
would make no difference, Herman.
Time and eternity to come shall alone
try my love for you, and Heaven
knows that it will not be found want
ing.
She felt his strong embrace about
her, nesting close within those faith
full arms. And then he bowed his own
face until it rested lovingly upon that
sweet, pale, girlish one which was pill
lowed upon his breast-the one dear
face in all the world for him, whose
dark, pathetic eyes, he vowed, should
never weep again.

near opens slowly, and a venerable
dame, in high white cap and wide
white apron, is seen under the crumb-
ling gray archway. In her withered
old hands she holds out basket of
fruit
Look, my darlings," exclaimed
Alicia, blithely. There is Mrs.
Ounce; she has something for you
Run"
They are off in a trice. the vexed
question forgotten, and, the moment
afterward, with cries of shrillest de-
light, they are jumping round and
clambering up the good old soul, who
clutches the ivied gate-posts for sup
port.
Alicia smiles at the onslaught; and
then, still smiling, turns her head to
see her husband coming over the grass
toward her garden chair, a gun on his
shoulder and dogs at his heels. She is
speedily with him, clinging to his
brown velvet sleeve and lifting her
head for kiss. 1t is given again and
again. for are they not lovers still?
And although the dreadful shadow
has long since been banished from old
Oldfriars, and the sunshine of love
reigns there dominant and supreme,
there is yet a legend treasured up in
the archives of Garth-a legend that
will never die.
On cold and bitter nights, in the
dead of winter-time, when the winds
sweeps wildly up the village street
fraught with wailing cries, and bursts
of demoniac laughter, rocking the
wood and plaster walls of its quaint
old glabled dwelling houses, and occa-
sionally hurting a tile or two to the
stones in the road below-when the
rush of the dismal river is heard
even above the blast, the strange,
witch-like sounds of lamentations are
borne high into the murky air, caught
up, it would seem, from the windy
darkness which enshrouds those
treacherous banks; then it is that the
palsied cronies, in the wide, black
chimneycorners love to gather their
chubby, open-eyed, open-mouthed
grandchildren round about their knees
to relate to them, by the light of
blazing fagot, the story of Alicia Leigh
how she lived how she suffered,
and how it came to pass thai she was
never really murdered, but died in her
bed, after all!

CHAPTER TX.
THE One Face in All the World for
Him"

Nearly three years had run their
course since Lady Penrith on that
TRANQUIL May night at Genoa, had laid
down the burden of life. 1t was the
month of February now, and the
spring would soon be around again.
Garth country houses had been unusu-
ally gay that winter, and the Stilbor-
ough shopkeepers in consequence had
had a good time of it as well. In the
last week of February there was
brilliant ball given by the Hon. Mrs.
Darlington, the wife Of the chief Still
borough magistrate, whose house was
in the neighborhood of Garth. 1t was
to be the last rout of the season, it
was said, because everybody who was
ANYBODY would be migrating to town
the next month.
Round one of the doors in the ball
room a knot of men stood talking
young dandIts, for the most part, with
eyeglasses and choice "button-holes,"
and sleek, fair hair parted faultlessly
down the middle. The first two
dances were over, a third was about to
commence, when a slight stir was oc-
casioned at the further end of the
room by the entrance of late arrivals
"By Jove!" suddenly exclaimed one
of the ioungers, a stranger to Garth,
| his gaze riveted upon the younger Of
! the two late guests, what truly mag
| nifcent woman! Who is she? Pray
enlighten me, some of you
| Young Darlington, who was just
I sauntering up to these friends OF his,
| joined the group in time to answer
! the question.
THAT lady" said he, halls pettishly,
half in banter, lis Miss Penrith. of
| Oldfriars The invincible, the cold
hearted Miss Penrith some men call
her: and, by Heaven, they are not FAR
OUT
Darlington, like many another fell
low, has tried it On there, perhaps, and
found it no CO. lisped third.
Darlington ignored the observation
merely struggling his shoulders as he
continued.
IF you are eager for more informa-
ton, you can have it," he said, in the
same, light, sarcastic way; "and then
!. should you be anxious to go in and
; try your luck, doubt not that [ can
get you an introduction. Yes? Miss
Penrith, you must know then, is as
: rich as she is beautiful. It is heI
whim to live at Oldfriars aione-that
is, with a very privileged old house,
keeper and other servants, all OF
whom, believe. adore her, and nc
wonder. When she appears in society
: which is not often-Mrs. Septimus

over the gate as he comes up the roat
| in the cleaning"
Imprinting a kiss on the pale brow
Alicia went out into the sweet-scenteC
garden. She felt unutterably sad
she hardly knew why. 1t was wronS
! to feel so melancholy, she told herself
on the night of Herman's arrival
Listlessly she leaned over the gardeI
gate and looked down the steep white
road, dewy tendril from the vine or
the trellis near just touching her soft
dark hair.
Stars were in the heavens, stars il
the sleeping, shimmering sea; light:
were already cleaning through the
purple shadows in The wonderful city,
below; voices, laughter, and the tinkle
| of mandolin came up to her dis
! tinctly as she stood there waiting al
| the gate.
| Presently she heard the well-beloved
step, and saw the well-known, stall
wart form coming tiredly up the twi,
! light road. How her whole heart went
| out to him then-how glad she was to
see him!
He joined her, and took her hand
How cold it felt, how delicate and
small, when clasped and hidden
within his own, he was thinking in
sensibly in his great, tender, plying,
passionate love-how pale and beauti-
full she looked, in the dusky, mysteri-
Gus, evening light!
Were you watching for me?" he
asked, involuntarily.
YES" she said, simply.
He was silent. He would not trust
himself to speak again just yet.
Come" Alicia went on softly, clos
ing the gate as she spoke; my grand
mother is waiting for you, too. She
has done little save talk of you, watch
for you through the live long day"
So they went indoors together, and
in silence entered the cool salon. 1t
was all very still there. The moon
light lay upon the floor.
Grandmother" said Alicia, lightly
touching her shoulder, ''Mr Merry
weather is here See, he is standing
by your side"
But there was no reply; and, to-
gether, bending down and peerlng
through the gloom, they saw in an in
slant that her trouble had ceased for
ever-that she had passed away with a
smile on her face
''To where beyond these voices there
is peace"
They buried her in the beautiful
cemetery at Genoa, and marked her
grave with a fine white marble cross.
On it they inscribed her name and
age, and underneath, the penitent's
passionate prayer:
Deus miserere mel"
This done, Herman Merryweather.
in that kind, protecting guardian-like
fashion which Alicia Penrith had
grown to know so we'll in him, set
about making the necessary prepara-
ton for their Immediate return to
England. Never would she forget his
wonderful goodness, Alicia told her
self emphatically-th tact, the fore
thought, the rare consideration, by
which she felt heself surrounded at
every turn during this dark, calami-
tous hour which had overtaken her so
far from home.
Had he been her father, or she his
ward in reality, he could not have been
kinder or more solicitous of her well
fare. Never, never, she cried out
desolately, could she repay him for all
that he had done! In her somber
robes of mourning he brought her back
to Garth, sole mistress of Oldfriars-
to reign there alone.
