CHAPTER VIII.

Joyce gave way altogether after her
hnal interview with Alan. She had a
long hiness, which almost terminated
always been strong. In the end her
youth triumphed, although she made
no efforts to get better. Life was ter
rib,y hard. She loved Alan with every
fibre of hfr being. She had known the
Joy of being his wife. and now he was
an outcast from home. miserable
wretched. dragging on a joyless exist
ence: and she had not even the priv
ilege of consnling him. She knew him
to be as unh Apply as she was, and she
was suffering all the rest Of their lives,
and Joyce had to learn patience from
that hardest Of taskmasters-sorrow.
Her father took her abroad or
course her story was nine days talk
but she was much beloved, and was
generally pitied and condoled with.
Alan and She had been SO happy, and
had borne themselves so we'll and
modestly, that there was no one VINO
did not feel for the young couple
whose happiness had been so suddenly
destroyed.
But poor Veronica. she went back to
her lodgings that night broken-heart-
cd. 1t was not only that she had lost
the hope of life with Alan, but she
could see that she had given him his
death-blow. And he loved another
woman! She was intensely human,
was poor Veronica, and the knowledge
that another woman had all his heart
hurt her immeasurably. He did not
love her! He had never loved her!
But she had the boy. 1t was some
thing that she could press his curly
head against her aching heart. and
drop her tears upon 1t. Poor little
soul! The only bitter resentment she
had felt against Alan was that he had
failed to notice the boy. But still she
had him-he was her own. She walt
ed patiently until she should hear
from Alan. She had waited so long
that little more or less waiting did
not matter. And he had said he would
write-he was certainly a man to be
trusted.
And on the third day a letter came.
Veronica could not guess what 1t had
cost Alan to write 1t. He did not want
to be harsh and cruel towards the af-
fectionate creature, whose only fault
had been that she had not been drown
ed in the shipwreck, and yet he felt 1t
difficult to be kind to her who had
spoilt his life. He wrote that hence
forth she and the boy would be his
care. that he wished to allow her and
her boy enough to live in comfort: but
that he could not bring himself to
come and see her. He told her that
he was parted from Joyce, who was
now lowering between life and death,
and that he would not burden her with
the sight Of his unhappiness. He
would always be glad II she wrote to
him in any time Of trouble or diffl-
Guilty, to give his advice and help: but
that most probably he should leave
England. He told her that II she fol-
lowed his advice she would remain in
England. which was e safe place for
her to live in. Besides. he would
rather that the boy was brought up as
nm Englishman. There was a lot of

L. A. Goodman. Secretary of the
Missouri State Horticultural society
has been gathering reports ON the con-

state. He has compiled answers from
500 correspondents in 81 counties.
Under date of August 10, he says: l

usual SO as to get as late q report as
possible. Rains have been abundant
in most localities and the apples have
made fine growth. many apples being
as large now as they were at gath

Ing the fruit is in good condition;
much better than usual. The crop of
the state will average about one-half
and that will mean a good many ap-
pies. Orchards have been injured In
some localities by canker worms, by
grasshoppers. by drouth, or from the
effects of the cold February of 1899.
We can safely count on only one-half
of the crop to be merchantable ap-
Pies. and hence we may expect fair
prices for them.

y.ri.t,s. Of wheat.

The comparison Of new and standai
varieties of wheat begun by the Penn
sylvnnia experiment station in 1887
has been continued through the pres
ent season. All the varieties were
badly injured by winter killing and
the Hessian fly. The yield was there
fore very low In comparison with other
years. The five varieties giving the
highest yield were:
NeilaDie $50 - w.
Dawson's Golden Chaff. f........1764
Dietz Longberry Red........--16.s2
Fulcaster .................. 1851
Early Genesee Giant. -16.iA
The poorest variety. "Fultz Medi-
terranean." produced only 5.94 bu. The
average OF II bearded chan varieties
was 14.41 bu.. and Of II smooth chan
varieties. l2.47 bu., which accords
with the general belief that smooth
char varieties are affected more by
the Hessian fly than bearded chan
varieties. The late sown wheat was
less affected by the fly than the early
sown. Four plots sown Aug. 81 and
four sown Sept % gave an average
yield OF 1886 bu. and 20.13 bu., respac-
lively. The season was very unfavdr-
able throughout in this locality. the

NO TRANSFER MADE YET
But the Transaction Will Eventually
 Be Carried Through.

Portland, Ore, Oct 26.-The Oregon ian to-day says: Negotiations for the transfer of the Southern Pacific lines in Oregon to the Northern Pacific Rail- way Co has been on for some time. They were interrupted by the death of President C. F. Huntington of the Southern Pacific and affairs are now ln such condition that no immediate le- suits are looked for. As one well in- formed man put it, the present sltua- tion of the Southern Pacific is such that no transfer of the Oregon lines could be made, DO matter how much the company might want to sell or how much other companies might want to break in. It is thought by some that the deal has practically been abandoned as impossible of consumma= ton under present circumstances. There is reason to believe, however, that the transaction will eventually be carried through.
 The Northern Pacifics desire to Se- cure the Oregon lines of the Southern Pacific is believed to be based in the fact that 1t has great faith fn the Pa ctfc northwest and wishes to get as much of the business as possible.
 The Southern Pacific lines in Oregon comprise about $50 miles or railroad.

 Thousand Dollars - Methodist
 Church Also Burned-A Number of
 Families Removed Their Belongings
 to Places of Safety. 5-. ,. Falls Village, Conn. Get 2G.-One of the most disastrous fires that ever wis tied this section broke out this morn ing in the grocery store Of G. ". Hall auu before help could arrive the town hali, the Methodist church and the Falls Village Savings bank were all in
 flames. It is estimated that the total loss will amount to about S4O,O00.
 The town hall is four-story build ing. on the ground floor of which is
 the grocery store of G.. w. Hall. and the dry goods store of Hornbeck Bros. How the fire started is not known as yet. but a paSserby about 5 o'clock
 saw smoke ill the grocery store and aroused several people in the immedi- are vicinity. The men. however. were unable to cope with the flames, and
 as there is no fire department in Falls Village they were obliged to teie- phone to Lyme Rock for assistance. Long before help could arrive from ti'e latter town, however. the flames had spread into Hornbcck'S store. and ] from there all over the entire build ing. It vas soon evident that the ! flames could not be confined to the
 town hall, and in less than half all
 hour the flames had spread to the Methodist church. and from there to the bank and postof1ice. When help arrived a bucket brigade was formed, and men passed water from tue river
 along the line to the fire. Water was also carried in wagons. There was
 rather a high wind blowing at the 1 time. and the efforts of the volunteer fremen seemed to be of little avail, as they could not get near enough to the | flames.
 There was great excitement, and a number of families in the vicinity of the Ire removed all moveable furni- ture from their houses.
 | Everything possible was done to prevent the flames reaching the post office and the savings bank, but de
 spite their efforts the tiremen were unable to check the flames. The bank officials removed most of the furniture from the bank. and all books and pa pers were put in the fire proof safe. The total losses are estimated as fol lows: Citizens hall. loss S12,O0O; insurance
