DIES MONIES. Feb. 91.-That the
fruit crop of the west has been ruined
and the many orchards and VINEYARDS
Of Iowa badly damaged by the recent
severe touch of arctic weather .expe'
rienced by this state, is shown by
reports received by Geo. II. Van
Houten, secretary of the State Agri'
cultural Society. According to these
reports the peach crop has been en-
tirely destroyed, and the trees severely
injured. A few hardy varieties may
bear crop tins season. The pear
crop suffered the same as the peach
crop and is probably entirely destroyed.
The tender varieties of apples have
been destroyed, but the harder ones
will give the usual crop. The grape
crop is also damaged. Many of the
canes of the raspberry and blackberry
bushes have been killed by the cold
wave, and small crop is expected.

Ruby, glancing up from an elaborate
band of crewel-work, destined to trim
a morning-goWn. y,
Il am going over to Meadowcroft to
superintend Bob's donkey-ride. l prom
Used him yesterday would come"
what folly! You know he is never
allowed a donkey-ride unless he has
been particularly good; and when ask
Piper if he has been good enough to
have one, she invariably answers
No."
Shell gives one of those low ripping
laughs of hers, which has in it mock
ing ring.
Piper does not care for running
after Undergraduates she considers
it mira dig. AS she knows that l al
ways do the running business and leave
her free, 1 invariably hear that the
children are deserving Of ride"
"Well, it's a bore any way" grum-
bles Ruby. II wanted you to cut out
my collar and cuffs, as I feel inclined
for a good days work.
THAT won't take five minutes"
laughs Shell, stripping off her wash
leather gloves and good temperedly
setting to the task.
When, some twenty minutes later,
she arrives at MeadowcrolI Farm, she
finds the children established in hay
field near the house, and Piper no.
where visible. 3d.
Where is Piper?" asks Shell, sink
ing down in the fragrant hay.
Busy" answers, Bob, laconically.
Have you bee. good children-good
enough for a donkey-ride?" pursues
Shell, smiling.
Don't know" responds Bob. with
placid ndifference-"s'pose not. Piper
boxed my ears this morning."
"Well, never mind" laughs Shell
"since Piper isn't here we can't ask
her-you shall have your donkey-ride
today, and then you'll be a good boy
tomorrow"
Don't want donkey-ride," re-
spends Bob stolidly; tell us a story
instead" -.H7 G p. ..,. r.s'.
mot want donkey-ride? Why,
what sort of boy do you call your
self" demands Shell, turning the
child round to laugh him out of what
she imaglnes to be a fit of the sulks;
then she becomes aware, that Bob's
generally rosy face is pale and languid
looking-that his bright merry eyes
are dim and misty. Dr.. l.
DO you feel ill.," asks Shell, think
ing that the child must have been al
lowed to eat something unwholesome
"No-no," falters Bob, with all boys
reluctance to give in to physical suf-
faring; "only my head aches rather"
With a strange thrill at her heart
Shell turns to Meg. The little girl is
sound asleep on soft bed of hay, her
attitude betokening thorough lassitude
-one fat little arm shields her eyes
from the light. Removing it gently,
Shell notes that poor Meg is wan as a
white may -blossom-ev the slight
movement sends a conVulsive SILVER
through her little frame. e
Shell Is not one to waste time over
specqlations. STOPPING down, she rails
es the sleeping child in her arms, and,
telling Bob to follow. proceeds to the
