They were all blinded, or they mus
have seen the deadly peril that threat
ened her. The glamour OF love was
upon her, and it made her so wondr'
ously happy. From morn to deWy eve
she was --Ae bright, blithe, singing
bird-drawing all hearts and all eyes
kinder than she had ever been
kinder. above all, to Sir Rupert; hel
own heart overfowed with happiness
and she scattered it lavishly all rounc
her.
They thought she was happier be
cause she was learning, at last, to love
Rupert Dacre, and he shared the be
lief. She never looked tired OF
wearied now, or longed for change as
she had been wont to do. She ap
peared most perfectly content.
The squire was so well pleased that
when Lady Marche invited Sybil and
Miss Ruthers to spend three days at
Ling, he made no demur. Sir Rupert
was going-Irene refused to leave him
and he saw no reason for deprlvlng
his darling of pleasure she antici-
pated so eagerly.
Ling was often called Liberty Hall;
people professed to enjoy themselves
there more than at any other place.
Lady Marche, they said, understood
perfectly the art of entertaining.
Squire Jocelyn went little into the
world, or he would have heard many
strange stories Of firtations begun
there with various endings-som
happy-others the reverse.
At Ling, every one pleased them
selves in what they did and what
hours they kept. Lady Marche never
made plans for them-they suited
themselves.
The house was quite a modern build
ing, with large, lofty splendidly fur
nfshed rooms, full of light. fresh air,
fragrance, sunshine, and flowers; a
house full of pretty little hooks and
quaint corners that took one by sur
prise. 1t contained, besides, large
billiard-room, a smoking-roOm that
might have rivaIed a Turkish divan, a
lofty ballroom, and a large apart
ment, set aside by common consent for
a theater; and it was here that Lady
Marche had decided upon having the
tableaus.
They had all been arranged, and Sir
Rupert had grown interested in them.
He persuaded the squire to go over for
that one evening to Ling.
Sybil and Miss Ruthers drove over
in the pleasant noon of a clear sum-
mers day, Violet wondering how it
would all end, Sybil full of excitement
and pleasure. The fair, willful child
forgot everything save that she was
going for three whole days to be with
him, under the same roof, at the same
table. She did not know she loved
him-she only felt unutterably happy.
Sir Rupert looked at her bright. face
and thought earth had never seen any
thing SO fair.

there were in the state over 5000
farms of 1000 acres each, while the
average farm comprised over 400
acres. Ranches of 10000 or 10000
acres are still common. Big farms
suggested big implements. California
invented and contributed to the farm
ing business of the world the multi
tiple gang pillow and the combined har-
vester and thresher, which subse-
uuently aided the Dakotas and other
northwestern states in the great pro-
duction of wheat by which St. Paul
and Minneapolis, and afterward the
phenomenal city of Duluth, were made
thrifty and notable.
''To the amazement of all who ex-
perrin ented, or to those who looked on
with the sheer of the cynic at the ex-
perimenters, the farming proved as
fruitful as the mining. By merely
scratching the surface the wheat
growers obtained yield of seventy
to one hundred bushels to the acre,
and at an expense in cultivation,
through the use of the gang plow, as
light as forty cents per acre. Vege-
tables grew the year round, fat and
happy, running their weight and size
to such unusual figures as fifty pounds
for cabbage and 200 pounds for a
squash. Muscatel grapes produced
five to sixteen tons to the acre. The
wool clip averaged seven pounds per
pounds.
'"This exceptional agricultural rich
ness was made known abroad onlyless
rapidly than the publication of the
states mineral richness. Thus Cali

begun her mining an unusual way,

in the mines, and was traded in as

forts were made to promote immigra-
ton, and a habit of se1f-advertising in
a manner BETTING the states prolific
resources fixed itself upon the people,
This habit developed in 1886 into the
phenomenal boom in Los Angeles and
southern California.
Possibly because no one loves so
well or knows so well as happy cler-
ic of the old type what good wine is,
the padres of the Spanish missions
had surrounded themselves with vine

found them to contain the same pos

for wheat. and of the rocks when
they were washed for gold Shrewd
men foresaw occupation and wealth in
wineries and entered at once upon the
study and practice of wine culture. In
the thirty or forty years which have
since elapsed California has advanced
to the position of one of the greatest
wine and brandy producing countries
in the world. Since 1867 the total

When the international boundary
commission resurveyed the lines be.
tween the United States and Mexico,
there were naturalists ln the party.
DR.. Mearns, who, with his assistants,
collected many specimens OF birds and
mammals, tells Of fight In the air be-
tween O California vulture and a rat
tleeneke which he saw while exploring
the Cocopah mountains Of Lower Cal
ifornia.
II was In the early morning. The big
bird had seized tho snake behind the
head and was struggling upward with
its wrlthtng, deadly burden. The
snakes cnptor appeared aware that its
victim was dangerous. The burden
wa heavy. as the reptile was nearly
I've feet long.
The grip Of the bird on the snakes
body was not Of the best. The snake
seemed to be squirmlng from its cap
tors talons, at least sufficiently to en-
able II TO strike. Its triangular head
was seen to recoil and dart at the mass
of feathers.
II did this once or twice, and then,
with a shrek, the vulture dropped its
prey. The bird was probably 800 feet
or so above the observers. The aston
ished men were then treated to n spec
tacle seldom seen. Few birds but
vulturc could accomplish such feat.
The instant the snake escaped from
the birds clutches 1t dropped earth
ward like a shot, and, like q shot the
bird dropped after 1t, catching it In
midair with a grip that caused death.
At any rate, the snake ceased to wrig-
gle, and the vulture scared away to q
mountain peak to devour Its hard earn
ed meal.-Youth's Companion.
