The Breath of BOreaS.

The present spell of weather is
the coldest experienced in this
State since the memorable Janu-
sry Of 1856, when for a period of
FIVE or six days the mercury re-
gistered Is degrees above zero,
and the whole State was covered
with ice and sleet. In that year
the ice formed in this ci,y to the
depth of one and half inches;
and there was great suffering
among the poorer classes of the
people, and much destruction of
fruit orchards. Last night, how
ever, or during the early hours
this morning, the mercury fell to
about 26 degrees and the reports
received by telegraph to-day show
that the freeze has been keenly
felt all over the State. In many
parishes the standing cane in the
/ fields was killed to the ground
while much of the stubble was al
so destroyed. All the reports agree
that the freeze came at a time to
cause much loss to the planters
but it is quite probable that the
fruit growers are the greatest suf.
ferers and that hundreds of oran'
ge trees have been killed by ths
freeze coming on them when the
sap was in the upper branches
The planters and fruit growers II
the southern portion of the Stat'
were fortunate enough, however
to escape the full force of tn
blizzard which came down from
North Dakota and froze the who'll
country as tight as bees wax.-

q suggestion women have only obeycd

a wcll-made gown.
The second pocket of Importance is
located in the skirts front and placed
at the angle md depth Of the right
hand pocket in Il mans trousers. Tho
top OF this buttons over or not, Just as
the Gust omer prefers, and it is made

silk pockets the sharp points and
weights of these little ncccssarics
would quickly bore disastrous hole,
whereas the cotton goods can easily
stand the years hard wear in all
safety.

CHAPTER XIX.

IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH
Once inside his tent Colonel Maynard
said:
Corporal, want you to get mo tho
an1form of private soldier. You must
DO so without exciting suspicionn
'Ol don't know how Oill do it, colo
mel, without goin back to mo own
camp
81 fear that will take too long. Can't
you steal ono from one Of tho tents noal
by?"
"Oi moight be able to do it, and O.

81 would take your jacket, but
want your assistance. There's no Other
way but for you to 60 to your camp"
"Colonel, Oi'll ride hard
'Rido, and remomber that every no.
ment is worth years at any other limo. "
Ratigan lost no tims in mounting and
was soon galloping OH his way. Once
out Of the camp from which no started
ho found no guards to pass and was ablo
to drive his horse to tho utmost. The
night before no had chased tho woman
whom ho had then known as Betsy
Baggs in q mad raco to capture her. Now
he was tearing along in a mad raco to
save her from tho consequences Of his
capture Past woods and waters flew
tho corporal, ovor bridges and hills,
through hollows and rivulets, till he
camo to his own camp. There he at
once sought tho quarters Of Private Elan
agan.
"Flanagan, he cried, shaking tho
private, Eyer wantedl"
"What is it, corporal?'
Let mo take yer clothes and ask
no questions. "
'"Tako 'om. And divil n question
will Oi ask except what 20 do be wantin
'cm for. -
Ratigan soizod tho bundle, and, with
an injunction to Flanagan to keep his
mouth shut if no wanted to savo him
self from future trials, mounted his
horse and was again flying ovor tho
ground back to Colonel Maynard $ head.
quarters
1t was now tho small hours Of tho
night. The corporal cast his oye to tho
oast and saw faint streak Of whito
light there. Digging his spurs into his
boasts fianks and urging him with his
yoico at tho samo timo, rider and horse
sped OH IN q race between life and death.
"Go on, yo bcastp' cried tho corpo.
raj. "Go on, mo darlin. Stretch yer

loifo compared with hers? On with 80,

that is nhowin his light there, and
Oi'll worship yo forever"
With such contradictory and incohe-
rent phrases Ratigan urged his horse
till ho could go no faster. Again did
hills, wales, woods, waters, fence fly
by till at last tho corporal dismountcd
at tho camp no rodo for, and in u mo-
mcnt was in Colonel Maynard's tent.
Tho corporal started back. a man
