different face than at the first moment
of gratihed revenge. What had he
gained by 1t? Florence was forever
lost to him, for she knew as well as
Roland himself who had been guilty
of this deed of treachery. Her father
was no longer able to exert any con-
troll over her or make any bequest
in favor of his nephew who, with his
daughters hand, was to receive all the
rights of heirship and now possessed
no legal claims. Nothing was left
save vengeance on the hated rival,

CHAPTER VII.

A horseman, who was evidently a
stranger to the road, was trotting to-
ward Springfield. He scanned every
object very closely, and sometimes
even seemed doubtful concerning the
direction to pursue. He wore civil
lian's dress, gray summer suit suit
ed to the climate. Now, at point
where the road branched in two dEec-
tions, he checked his horse irresolute-
'ly, pondered few minutes and then
waited for carriage approaching him
from behind, 1t was light open We
ihicle, occupied by two gentlemen. The
stranger, bowlng, said:
Pardon me. I am on my way to
Springfield, and don't know whether
TO turn to the right or the left. Per-

"You must take the right-hand one,

Young boars not wanted for breed
ing should be castrated as early as Is
convenient, says Farmers bulletin 100
Of the Department OF Agriculture. This
may be done at any time after the pigs
are a month old, and II done at from
four to six weeks they will have fully
recovered before they are weaned. II
not done then II Is better to wait until
a month after weanlng, so that they
will have become thoroughly accus-
toned to eating solid food. Spaylng
young sows is no more difficult or
dangerous than castratlng young
boars, and should be more generally
practlced 1t can be done best when
they are between and 4 months OK
age, and, as the young sows are liable
to get with pig at any time after they
are months old, the spaying should
not be delayed too long. BY the time
the pigs weigh from rs to 100 pounds
each they will be developed sufficient
ly to show which should be kept for
breeding animals, and the sooner the
others are spayed the better. spayed
animals are always more quiet and
better feeders than open sows, make
better pork, and sell for better prices.
A spayed SOW weighing 200 pounds
will dress from 10 to 20 pounds heavier
than an open SOW of the same live
weight; she will have heavier leaf and
inside lard, and there will be no dan
ger OF loss from finding her in pig.
Packers and butchers will always pay
top prices for spayed sows, because
such animals are sure to be as good as
they look, while they will often refuse
to purchase open sows at any price,
or will take them only with heavy
allowance for shrinkage.

In several of the city churches on
Sunday the pastors in response to a
request Of the g. Al. K. preached SER
mons appropriate to the Decoration

Spanish war as well as the civil war
were eulogized and their memories

tended in a body, meeting at the
court house and marching down to-
gether. A large crowd was in attend
anee and the church was embellished
with national colors. The sermon of
the occasion was delivered by Rev.
A. G. Kaye of the Congregational
church and was a touching address.
He assumed the grounds that war is
justified by the Christian man and
proved it conclusively. Despite the
sacred surroundings and the day his
audience could not refrain from en-
coring his sentiments, and three or
four times they interrupted him with
hand clapping and other demonstra-
tions of approval.
Rev. Scott w. Smith was chairman
of the occasion and music was furn-

church. The invocation was pro-

have set the fire by sparks from a

There is only one way to cur deafness,

Deafness is caused by an iniamed con-

chan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed,
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
hammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh.
