sYou make me happy, Dick. True as steel always, but always-always- | wish, old fellow, I.might find the missing note in your life.
 Satisfy my ambition, Frank. end you have found it. My people were of the army and navy. You remem- Der Somers in Tripoli, and-but this is idle. When that damnable villain Holbin tempted me to embroil myself with the authorities in an act of in- subordination the world was rose ate-'
 "Holbn-Raymond Holbin?"
 s.Why, yes. Had you forgotten the circumstances? I used to rage over it enough in Paris, God knows. Pass the matches, please" Brodnar passed them and moved quickly to the rear of the speaker, lifting his right hand in excitement, his features working convulsively. Ut did not help mat ters that they cashiered him for ras- caity and pusillanimity, for they had E let me resign, and my application for reinstatement lies unacted upon still. Frank, there is the open grave in my life, and the missing note is silent within it'' He wheeled his chair about and looked up into his friends face "You would help it if you could, I know; and bless you, my boy, for your sympathy. What was it you wanted me to do? Oh, yes, the mar riage. Let us get back to that. Am to make toilet? But of course" You will do as you are It will be in the dark. But, Dick, at this mo- ment, for the first time, the full ex- tent of your friendship dawns upon me and l see the generous heart beat ing away so faithfully in my behalf. Dick, there was a woman in the af- fair between you and Holbin; you have never told me of her and I don't ask you now, but if there is a sacrifice in this for you it is not too late-'
 Sacrifice? Lead on! I am in the | hands of my friends I am not the | first to leap blindfolded into the sea of matrimony, nor shall 1 be the last. Life is cycle and fools beget fools. Besides, I have in my religion some | of the fatalism of the east: That l which comes to us without our seekin 2 and seemeth right to do, is generally the right thing to do. The falling cocoanut that breaks the sleepin g 1 robbers head feeds the starving pill grim.'
 "Well said And in this adventure, my friend, I take it that you are l the cocoanut. l am old-fashioned enough to believe in God, and with His help you may break villain s head indeed
 But l shall be satisfied if my own isn't broken. By the way, my wife should understand that if this ugly rupture between the south and north involves blows, she may hear of her husband bearing arms against her"
 ''Fiddlesticks! There has been more blood shed in my back office than you will see spilled between the north and south. The people on the streets and up wonder in the capitol are temporarily insane. It will end in wind-~my name for oratory." Cheers in the street below, followed by the discharge of cannon, shook the windows. A boy rushed past, crying an extra.
 What does he say?" asked Somers as Brodnar, who stood near the win. dow, lifted his face.
 Fort Sumter has surrendered"

Then upon his hearing fell clear, musical voice, hawless as the note of a dove, plaintive as the wind-harp of the pines:
 'Yes,'' it said, "to honor him at all times and in all hours while life shall last, whether in the days to come we meet again or we meet no more" He lifted his head quickly, his hand closed impulsively over hers, and cry trem- bled upon his lips.
 That voice!" he said, deeply affected. "I have heard-but no!"-his chin sank upon his breast; ''it cannot be" He caught the words of the unknown speaker beginning the invocation.
 "No! mol" he cried, almost fercely, 'it is sacrilege!"
 "Then," said the speaker, "it is sui fcient to say that under authority vested in me by the state of Virginia pronounce you man and wife," Som CTS stood silent and depressed. There was a whispered consultation; the inner door opened softly and some one passed out. .~--' ------

 emotion shook the little hand. Inetant~ ly his own hand closed above hers.
 'Be not afraid, my child" he said; ''all will be we'll" His voice, low and sympathetic, was the first to break the silence of that room. The girl ceased crying and her hand lay quiet within his own. Then the doctor spoke in whisper:
 'We arc ready" he said to a third person; make the ceremony as brief as possible" The other began:

 There was silence, and then Richard Somers said gravely: 'I take this wom- an to be my lawful welded wife; and I shall comfort her, honor and keep her in sickness and in health, to the best of my ability, as long as I shall continue to be her welded husband.

THE FIRST PRUNING.
II Determines the shape Of Apple
Trees and should Therefore lie
Made Subject of study.

Apple trees. as usually set in orchard,
are TWO or three years old. Sometimes
very strong one-ye9r-old trees can be
secured. and these are best of all for
planting / prefer whips 10 formed
trees; that is. trees consisting OF a
main stem. with few or no branches,
and the branches to- be pruned of when
the trees are planted. Such trees
If cut back go a length OF CD inches Will
push into vigorous growth. and by
midsummer Wi be ready for their first
pruning.
During the first week I'm August the
apple trees on the University fruit
farm. planted last April were careful
~ STUDIED, preparatory TO pruning.
There are ten trees Of each variety. and
after carefully measuring the growth
and determining the direction of each
limb, find that each tree presents a
separate and distinct prob'em-no two
trees grow alike. The Jonathans as a
whole are the most spreading IN habit.
but each of the ten Jonathan trees diff
fers widely FROM its fellows. so no two
can be treated the same at the first
pruning.
What can be done? The grower
should bear constantly in mind during
the first year of his orchard the shape
of the tree is determined and all the
subsequent growth emphasizes the
work of the first season. So the first
pruning Of all must have for its pur-
pose the removal of limbs that are
growing in the wrong place. and the
encouragement of shoots where they
are needed to give symmetry to the
tree. The removal is easily accom-
plished by cutting out with a pocket
knife, leaving not the least stump be-
hind. New shoots will be made to start
from dormant buds if the more vigor-
Gus growths are pinched at their ends;
indeed the very best pruning machines
ever made are the thumb and fingers,
when judiciously used.
In this first pruning see that
branches retained have a good strong
union with the main stem, avoiding
forks, and also that they are well
spaced along the stem rather than
grouped closely together. l prefer an
apple tree with a center stem from root
to top bud, and hence in the first prun-
ing / endeavor to make the topmost
shoot a leader. But many very sue
cessful growers train their trees to
open heads from the first. Both sys-
tens are good if well cared for, and no
system of pruning is good if it is not
given continuous attention.-Charles

less, as the first two smaller segments
are partly withdrawn in the much
larger third segment. The caterpillar
varies in color from pale straw color
TO reddish brown, the color growing
darker and deep brown towards the
under side. When this caterpillar is
ready to transform TO a pupa il
changes to beautiful pink or Grim
son color. The young larya is green,
with a long and slender horn rising
from the eleventh segment and curv-
ing over the back. IL the older and
fully-grown specimens this long horn
has disappeared, and in its place is
found a highly polished lenticular tub
circle.
The fne-looking moth is brownish
gray, variegated with light brown, and
with deep brown spots. The hind
wings are pink. with a dark shade
across the middle, still darker spots
below this shade and a broad gray
band behind. This snowy insect is

THE ACHEMON SPHINX.
In the Caterpillar Stage This Insect
Very often Strips Entire Canes
of the Grape.

Scientifically this is called Philam-
pelus achemon. The caterpillar Of this
moth frequently devours all the TO-
liage of the Virginia creepers, and
strips whole canes Of the grape. In
nurseries the damage is frequently
very great, as one Of the large cater
pillars can kill numerous young vines
in a short time. Hand picking is in
II eases the most satisfactory and
simple remedy. The full-grown cater
pillar Of this insect is usually found
towards the latter part of August and
early in September. 1t is large larva,
measuring about four inches when
crawling; at rest it measures much

SHIP THOUGHT TO BIZ LOST.
JOHN MCDONALD LONG OVERDUE
IN FRISCO.
She is out 205 Days From Baltimore.
Was Last Reported December 9Th
Near Cape Horn.

Water Frontiers are beginning to give
up all hope of ever again seeing the
American ship John Mcdonald or Cap
tain Seymour Watts her master. The
vessel is practically given up as lost
and it is very doubtful If any trace of
her will ever be had. She is now 205
days out from Baltimore to San Fran
cisco; according to last reports from the
Coast reinsurance in the sum of 80 per
cent was quoted against her. This was
quoted some weeks ago however, when
the vessel was out month or so less
than she is now reported.
While the vessel is not bound for this
port both she and her captain are well
known in Honolulu as the vessel was
here last summer and went around the
Horn with sugar.
A very peculiar fact connected with
the John Mcdonald is that she was last
spoken by her former commander, Cap
tain Watts who is a brother to Seymour
Watts. Both of the brothers were here
last season. Seymour Watts was then
in command of the bark Pactolus while
his brother was in command of the
John Mcdonald The vessels left here
about the same time. After reaching
Baltimore the brothers exchanged ships
Seymour Watts going to the John Nc
Donald and the other Brother to the
Pactolus.
1t was December 9Th last, when the
brothers sighted each other near Cape
Horn. There was nothing wrong with
the John Mcdonald then but the Pac-
tolus beat her time to San Francisco
reaching there the latter part of Feb
ruary or the early part of March. The
Pactolus experienced a rough trip be-
ing partially dismasted. She sailed for
the north from San Francisco weeks
ago. Since then nothing has oeen heard
from the Mcdonald Inasmuch as the
Pactolus experienced such rough wea-
Their it is feared that the other vessel
may have Jared even worse and gone
to the bottom. The John Mcdonald
might have come here this year after
she reached San Francisco.
