sent for him in such hot haste. He was
treasured almost Immediately by the
sight of her face. She put her arms
around his neck and kissed him cor
daily.
SYou are nice papa to come" she
said, "and I've lots and lots to tell you.

She slipped away and returned with
the magistrate and Mr.. St. Cyril. They
gave the Governor full statement of
affairs, and last of all displayed to him
the confession of John Rudolph.
'Now, papa, for the pardon" cried
Helen. eve can't wait for any long
legal process to set Lynde Graham free
we want it done at once!"
Governor Fulton complied, He wrote
first an order to the jailer, commanding
him to let Lynde Graham go free; and
then he made out the pardon in due
form.
Helen kissed him rapturously; ,and
with the papers in her hand, bounded
away. She found Agnes weeping soft
iy, alone in her chamber.
GIVE got it!' she exclaimed, gleefully,
land you shall carry it to him yourself
you dear old darling!" And she held
up the papers.
Agnes threw her arms around the
girls neck, but Helen shook her off
with pretty petulance.
t1There, don't! You'll muss my collar,
and get my curls all in snarl! Take
the papers and don't let the grass grow

Agnes reached the Jail, and gave to
the old warden the order for the prison
,er's release. He read it over carefully,
his hard old face softening with a smile
of genuine delight.
THANK the Lord!' he calculated.
Else alters thought it would come!
Use never had an idee that that man

Agnes entered the cell softly, her
heart beating almost to suffocation.
Lynde was lying across the foot of his
cot asleep. How very worn and hag-
gard he looked! The tears came into
the eyes Of Agnes as she gazed at him,
aad dropped upon his face. He stirred
uneasily, and muttered:
"Ah, so it is time? Well, am ready"
Agnes touched his cheek lightly. He
sprang up, and on seeing her, smiled
brightly.

said. Il dreamed they came to call
me. But what Is It. Agnes? Your face

Training Grapc Vines.

At the beginning of the third season
the vine consists Of root system three
years old, and of two canes growing
from the upper portion of the stem
each one year old. These canes should
be cut back so that they will not extend
further than one-half the distance to
the next plants in the same row; weak
growing varieties should be cut back
still more, the important point to OBJ
serve being that the amount of wood
shall be reduced to such an extent that
the vine will not overbear. In case
the canes destined to form the arms are
cut so short that they do not extend to
the canes of the adjoining plant, the
shoot springing from the last bud
should, the fourth season, be cut long
enough to fill it's share of the vacant
space between the vines.
The trellis should be put in the vine
yard during the second season, al
though it need not be finished. The
use of the lower wire, which should be
from 20 to- "a inches from the ground,
is desirable, as it allows the shoots
which are to form the permanent arms
to grow in the position they are to re-
tain, and the pruning also can be more
easily done. Two other wires should
be added some time before the begin
ming Of the next, or third, growing sea-
son. The second wire on the trellis
should be about 20 inches above the
first, and the third an equal distance
above the second. These distances
may require some change with varie-
ties which are exceptionally weak or
strong growers. Either number 10 or
number u ungalvanized iron wire will
answer; the former is of special value
when the posts are set far apart and in
positions where an extra strain is put
upon the trellis. All the wires should
be firmly stapled to the swindward side
of the posts, yet the wire should be
allowed to slip in the staples.

wholesome is this drink that the infer
mented 'grape-juice cure" for dyspep-
STA has become popular fad in Ger
many, and there is no doubt of its ben
efcial quality.
Shallow Culture for Plum Trees
Special attention is called to deem cul-
ture of plum trees. The nitrogen feed
ing roots run very near the surface.
Culture deeper than three inches will
spoil the crop of plum orchard. With
our long pointed shoyels few realize
| how deeply the points reach, and how
large proportion Of the roots essential
to the perfection Of the fruit are torn.

CARTRIDGES IN SILK.
A number OF Very Excellent Improve
ments Made IN the
Maxim Gun.

Hiram Maxim recently informed a
Daily Mail representative that the
British government had given his firm
on order for their new guns, which have
a greatly increased firing speed and
80 per cent. more penetrating power
than those hitherto constructed.
The United States had already or
dered from Messrs. Viclers' Sons g.
Maxim large number of these Pinch
guns, aud In reference 60 this Mr.. Maxim
said: "This last order Is being sup
piled entirely by our factories in Amer
ica, on account of the neutrality laws,
which would prevent the weapons being
shipped IL made at the firms works In
Sheffield.
Eve have made" said Mr.. Maxim, "a
good many 6-inch and 12-inch guns for
the British government, but these were
made from government specifications,
using government mechanism, but upon
showing the government officials some
thing better we have been given large
orders for guns made with our improved
mechanism, and this work Is being
executed at the present moment.
"The statement that our 12-inch gun
fires at the rate of three shots a min
ute" he continued, rs substantially
true This, however, does not mean the
that It can be steadily fred at that
rate. 1t might be done for the first
minute, commencing with the gun
loaded. One thing you can rely upon,
and that Is that our 12-inch and G-inch
guns are superior TO any guns that have
yet been invented, both in power and In
rate of firing. Any nation using our new
high-power 0-inch and 12-inch guns
can rest secure that they will never
encounter anything that will shoot
faster or with any greater penetrating
power.
The chief features in the new gun
are an improved breech-block and the
substitution of an asbestos case for the
metal cartridge formerly used. The
usual breech-blocl1 requires several
turns TO hold it safely in position after
the charge has been inserted. This loss
Of time Is obviated by mechanical al
teration that gives the same solidity
with but q single twist Of the block. The
cordite and projectiles are held together
in a silk lining, incased in asbestos, thus
saving weight and magazine room.
"The day the new 6-inch gun was
tried at Portsmouth the perforation i'm
piled, according 10 Tresidder's formula,
was 22.7 inches firon, the greatest per-
foration laid down in the service table
for 6-inch gun being 15.o Of iron. The
rate of fire maintained by this gum at a
subsequent trial, at Shoeburyness, was
60 rounds in four minutes AZ seconds,
which was equal TO shot every eight
seconds, or, allowing for cooling, 100
shots in Is minutes. s."-Chicago Journal

wHAT EsrRANGEp THEM.

Everybody In town knows Joseph L.
Cavender. He is one OF the Wayfarer's
earliest recollections, and there are few
persons in New Castle and Kent coun-
ties who do not know him personally
or by name. He is full OF good nature,
brimming over with egotism, and pos
sessed OF his full share OF vanity.
Andy Selak and Mr.. Cavender do not
speak-have not done so for years, and
the story OF their falling out is so
amusing that the Wayfarer must tell
II. no matter whether the subjects Of
the sketch like it, or not.
It was at a function given by the
Young Mems Democratic Club. Mr..
Selak was there and so was Mr.. Caven-
der. but they had never met.
Mr.. Cavender sought an introduction
and Mr.. Selak was not averse to meet
ing him.

Mr.. Selak, who always has something
up his sleeve for a friend Of old or re-
cent acquaintance.
Mr.. Cavender, permit me to intro
duce Mr.. Earle to YOU" said the mu-
tual friend.
They shook hands and engaged in
conversation. Mr.. Selak had heard OF
Mr.. Cavender's vanity and decided to
play upon it.

said, you know that pair Of diamond
earrings you were in looking at some
time ago?"
Yes" said Mr. Cavender not in the

bogus jeweler, "and II you are still in

to talk business and TO place a more
reasonable figure on them"

around at the small knot OF men who
were listening to the conversation.

AN INTELLIGENT HORSE.

There is a calico horse in town which
is possessed OF such unusual intelli-
gence that its owner should prize it
very highly Ii hauls a soft drinks de-
livery wagon. Day before yesterday
the WayfArer saw It standing in front
OF a saloon on Tenth street near Or
ange. Two Delaware avenue cars were
coming on the narrow street and they
could not pass until the horse and
wagon were out OF the way. The horse,
without a word from anyone, walked
on to the other side OF the street, far
ther up, where there was room for both
cars to pass, waited until they got by
and then slowly and deliberately turn
ed around and walked back to his old
stand.
The Wayfarer is informed that the
animal invariably gets out Of the way,
of its own volition, when 1t sees that
II is in the way of an approaching car
and does it and returns with a nicely

FRANCOIS coppEE's YOUTH.
necOlIectiOns OF the Great Author
Recalled by the Accidental
Finding of a Hook.

Francois Coppee, one Of the most
charming modern French authors, has
lately published some recollections of
his early youth, recalled by the acci-
dental finding Of the old thumbworn
book from which his mother taught him
his letters. Like the strains Of his
Cremona violin, IL Is another touching
evidence of the lasting impression upon
great minds of the lessons impaired by
d loving gentlewoman. He says:
This old primer, from which my
mother taught me my letters, the very
one which she had preserved from the
time when she herself was taught, re-
minds me that once she also was lit
tie girl. But il Is impossible for me to
imagine her games or frolics, her youth
full loves and maiden pleasures, or even
her early joyous married life. For me
she viii ever be my mother-my dear
old mother.
How many trials and anxieties
caused this dear parent, not that she
ever had reason to doubt my love for
her even for an instant, but when one
is young, full of life, hattered by praise
and hope, he IS prone to forget that
there IS seated by the freside at the
home which he neglocts for worldly
pleasures an odd mother, who hardly
dares TO utter a timid reproach to hel
fast-growing son, but who is alarmed
at the dangers through which he is
passing; who suffers to see him lose the
purity and candor OF his childhood and
who weeps in silence.
III these lines should meet the eye oil
some young man about to commit an
indiscretion let him pause moment
and reflect that, without being Grim
inal, II will be a sad day for him, wher
he is an old man, to recollect that he
made his mother weep.

recollection in my heart, for on that da!
