T. was unheard of. She did not give
,yE,t to her anger by any loud outburst
of emotion. She did not pace up ana
down the room, clinching her hands;
but she stood silent, her face pale as
death, her eyes filled with angry hre.
That he should dare to be unkind TO
her! That he should ave listened with
that satirical smile on his face, perhaps
laughing at her in his heart! She
shrank from herself.
Heaven help me" she said, but l
am afraid that l hate him"
Her hands trembled slightly.
81 am in a passion" she said to her
self-"and no wonder. Was ever wife
refused such a trifie?"
While she stood trying to stem the
wild current of anger and to cool the
fire that seemed to burn in her heart
and brain, a servant, her own maid, en-
tered.
my lady," she said, "the earl Is
seeking you. Shall tell him that you
are here?"
IF you please, she replied.
She neither moved nor stirred when
the earl came in. She neither turned
her beautiful head nor raised her proud
eyes. He looked at the tall slender fig-
ure, so unbending, so defiant
"Hildred," he said sharply, Il wish
to speak to you"
She did not even raise her white eye
lids or give the faintest sign that she
had heard him.
81 wish to speak to you," he repeat
ed, more sharply.
Il can hear" said Lady Caraven.
Speak on"
But / do not choose to speak, mad
anne, unless you give me your atten-
ton.
Never did empress of old turn
laughter face to her foe than she
turned now to him-proud, defiant, I'M
bending.
Il would not submit to him now"
she thought, "if l must die for it."
She might have stood as a statue for
Pride.
Listen to me-" said the earl. II
have been thinking over what you said,
and | do not like it. Do you hear? I
do not like it.
She answered him never word.
do not irritate me-" he said. Il am
always master of myself. II have
good temper generally, but when | am
angry l forget myself Do not irritate
me-"
81 have no wish to irritate you" she
replied, with quiet dignity. Say what
you have to say that may go quick
ly."
81 have to say this, Lady Caraven,
that you must not speak to me again
as you have done today-never; can
not permit it. The wealth Of Ravens
mere is yours, not mine; but the right
to manage my tenants is mine, and l
will allow no one to dictate to me-"
"The right to manage them most GER
tainly is yours, but l contend that they
are cruelty mismanaged, and that the
wrongs done to the poor on your estate
will recoil on your own head, as will
the waste. the extravaganza, and the
folly"
81 am willing that they should. Still,
I will take anything but advice, and
that least of all from you, Lady Cara
ven, although you may think that you
have the best right to give it. have
no wish to repeat any angry words, but
YOU must understand once and for all
that / brook no dictation."
She bowed to him.
as that all you wished to say, My
lord?"
He looked at the beautiful, white
proud face, so still, so full of repressee
feeling.

Raven, the town which belonged al
most entirely to the Ravensmere es-
tates. He did not return until late III
the evening, and she did not see him.
On the day following she determined
to make an opportunity. AS 1t nap
pened, the earl was at the breakfast
table.
at will be easy enough, she
though now. when breakfast is
over, 1 will ask him to spare few
minutes for me-"
But, when breakfast was over, the
earl went off with some gentlemen 10
the stables. There was a fear that
his favorite horse was ILL., so 1t was no
time then to plead the widows cause
She tried again at luncheon-t was
equally in vain; and the young coun-
tess smiled to think that there should
be SO much difficulty in the way OF
speaking a word to her own husband.
AS a last resource she went to the hed
room.
"Raoul." she said, Lord Caraven al
ways comes when you want him. VIII
YOU make some excuse for sending 1or
him? | want to speak to him very
particularly, and can not find an OPP
portunity."
Sir Raoul was only too pleased; ne
thought that the fact of her wishing 10
sneak to him at all was good sign.
He sent for him, and in few minutes
the earl arrived, pleased, as he always
was. to be of use to Sir Raoul.
The soldier talked to him for a few
minutes about an imaginary want, and
Lord Caraven was deeply Interested
He had bowed to his wife on entering
the room. but had not spoken to her;
now she came up to him.
w,ord Caraven," she said, "can you
snare me ten minutes? / will not de-
tain you longer"
An expression of Impotence came
over his face; she saw it, and her own
blanched with anger.
Have no fear" she said, sarcastic
ally: at is not of myself that wish to
speak"
81 was just going out" he told her,
hastily.
Her first impulse was to sweep dis
dainfully from the room, and never to
sneak to him again. For one half min
ute she felt that she hated him; and
then she remembered that she had
promised to plead the widows cause

"I will follow" he said to his wife
and she led the way to her boudoir. II
was a pretty octagon shaped room; the
ceiling was painted, the walls were
beautifully decorated, the hangings
were of rich rose silk and lace, pro-
fusion of flowers perfumed the room.
What a lady's bower!" said the
earl-"flowers and lace and perfume
What a dainty little nest!
Then it struck him that this was the
first time since their marriage that hi
had entered any room belonging to hi'
wife.
Lord Caraven," she said. Il have
favor to ask from you-a great favor
VIII you grant it,"

piled.

colorado's superior Fruits.

EEtln EAtin
A Kansas City dealer in apples
contributes the following interesting
bit of gossip to New York paper:
"The new element in the apple line
is the Colorado stock. 1t is an un-
deniable fact that the climate of Col
orado, combined with the superior
opportunities for cultivation found
in the valleys of that state, give a
better color, more frmness of tenure,
and more flavor to most apples than
are found in the fruit of the middle
states. The Colorado Ben Davis, for
instance, is really fine apple, and
while it still possesses some of the
mealiness, which is the great defect
of this variety, this is TO large ex
tent corrected, the apple being much
tirmer and juicier than the Missouri
product, the latter quality, probably,
due somewhat to irrigation. The
bulk OF the apples this season in the
west are Ben Davis. This hardy
stock, apparently, endures the drouth
better than the more delicate and
palatable kinds. Following along in
about the order named, are Winesap,
Willow Twig, Geneton, Grimes Gold
On, Mammoth Black Twig, Arkansas
Black, etc. Quite few Jonathans
were put in storage the early part of
the season, and were sold out readily
at from 81 to So barrel. Tie Ben
Davis are now bringing 50, aud the
various kinds of stock, Willow Twigs,
Winesaps, etc, are bringing $3.50
to $3.50"

A Market for All.

From the Msnzauola Nows,
Some are afraid that the canta.
loupe business will be oyerdone and
the supply will be far greater than
the demand in few years. Did
you ever stop to think what wide
reputation the Arkansas valley has
obtained in this line and the real
cause? When the superior quality
is taken into consideration the prob
lem is comparatively easy. When a
superior article is placed on the mar
ket the people are not long in find
ing it out. and of course they will
not be persuaded into purchasing an
inferior product The little insig
niiicant looking cantaloupe grown in
the valley has obtained foothold
upon the market and will be handled
in the principal cities OF the United
States next season if the supply holds
out. Considering the small amount
of territory producing such a variety
of cantaloupe and the large market
already established, which is rapidly
widening, extending already TO the
eastern countries, it looks as though
it were folly for anyone to place the
supply greater than the demand.

The Arkansas Valley Leads.

The reports being made by the ag
ricultural department at Washington
on the samples of sugar beets, beip g
sent in by farmers from all sections
of the country, show the Arkansas
valley to be the best adapted to the
profitable culture of the sugar beet
of any locality tested, A large num-
ber of tests have been made and all
show a heavy yield, but the banner
returns were from Pueblo and Prov
ers counties, the former shows the
highest per cent Of sugar, and the
latter the biggest yield. We publish
below clipping from the Field and
Farm on these tests:

your gun and bring me in an antelope

not hunger. Runs-Sideways will go,
t~o, and who brings me in meat the
first, he shall be my son.
The sons of the prairie and forest
were busily engaged in agricultural
pursuits, for it is entirely a popular
error to suppose that an Indian will
not work. A casual observer, for in
stance, might have supposed that Ma
jaoka's retiring brow was unaccus-
toned to the honest dew of labor, but
Majaoka's squaw was plying her primi-
tive hoe, fashioned from the shoulder
blade of Il buffalo under her lords d.
rect and personal supervision, though
he was now stretched supine under the
big cottonwood that cast it's shade be-
fore his door. Intelligent supervision
was Majaoka's forte, and he proposed
to hold it.
1t requires some eXertion, too. to roll
a cigarette, but Majaoka rolled his with
his own hands and leaned forward with
a grunt to poke among the dying en-
bers of the fire for a coal to light it
with. This arduous operation accom-
plished he leaned back and allowed the
smoke to stream luXuriously through
his thin lips and expansive nostrils.
Presently with another grunt, for
here was more toll, he lifted up his
heavy, bass voice, and his obedient wife,
instantly dropping her wild westward
hoe, hurried to the tepee.
"Eevah, the belly god possesses
you" she grumbled, land, behold, there
is nothing for the pot
Majaoka did not so far forget his dig
nifty as to answer at once, but presently
he remarked: "My son has sought the
hills. He followed Runs-Sideways. He
will return with meat"
Much meat will he bring" observed
Voice-of-the-Pines, wrinkling her
brown nose sarcastically, "he could not
hit the big soldier lodge ten steps
away"
That is true" asserted her spouse,
but Runs-Sideways can put a ball in
the eye of a deer at three bolvshots.
Daciya, they come! And Little Porcu-
pine has meat. Did l not speak truth,
worthless and ill-favored one!''
The first rider was badly handicapped
by an antelope thrown across his pony
in front of him, and the other was over
hauling him rapidly. He seemed anx-
ious to do so before reaching the spot
where MaiaOka stood hIlt in This effort
he was unsuccessful, for the antelope
was thrown from the reeking, quivering
little pony at the old mans feet as he
drew rein and leaped to the ground.

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
LEAGUE OF AMERICAN
WHEELMEN'S REPORT.


"a copy of the resolutions of the
League of American Wheelmen, to-
gether with a separately typewriter
letter, were sent to each one of upwards
of 1,100 different persons, comprising
manufacturers, dealers, etc, within
the United States, and each of these let
ters, after setting forth the work and
objects of the league, invited a subscrip-
ton of any sum which might be afford
ed to aid this general work in which the
league was engaged. The maxi
mum limit of any subscription was
placed at 800, and notice was given
with each letter that no greater sum
would be received from any person,
firm or corporation. But one subscrip-
ton was received. 1t came from Col.
Albert A. Pope, of Boston, whose mu-
nificent and open-handed work for
road improvement has placed him con-
spicuously alone among the manufac-
turers of the world, and whose con-
slant and consistent efforts for bet
ter roads have not only marked his
generous and broad-minded disposition,
but have proved him to be a coadjutor
to whom and to whose work wheelmen
of the United States must ever yield

hand disappeared and CROPPED in the
gaping wound. She pulled it out again.
Whose bullet is that?" she asked,
throwing blood-clottsd fiattened piece
of lead at her husbands feet.
Maiaoka picked it up, examined it
and then passed it to ns-Sideways,
whose face thereupon assumed an ex-
preston of disgust.

They all stood and looked after him
as he disappeared over the ridge and
then aiaoka turned and walked up to
the carcass of the antelope, which he
regarded contemplatively for several
minutes. Voice-of-the-Pines turned 10
her son. She did not smile, but as their
eyes met faint quivering spasm af-
fected one of hers. At last Majaoka
gave utterance to a grunt and turned
the animal over. There, in the neck,
was another big, bloody hole. 1t was
the hole of egress.

1t is not unusual at the Aquarium to
see in a tank the fishes all together side
by side and heads in line like platoon
or section of men. They remain thus
for considerable time. Most fishes are
gregarious, they keep together in
schools in the water, and here they
seem to keep together for company's
sake. Sometimes all the fishes in a
tank but one will be lined up in this
way side by side and headed in one di-
rection, while the single fish will be
back of the others, and headed the
other way. Then the suggestion. Of
soldiers conveyed to the mind by the
fishes in line is strengthened. For the
single fish seems to be a rear guard.
