There was no dinner party at Fol-
SONS that evening. At two messen-
ger trotted out to the post with a
note for Miss Folsom to apprise her
of the fact, and without a word or
change of color she put it into her
pocket. The garrison girls were bent
on having them spend the afternoon,
but presently Miss Folsom found a
moment in which to signal to Jess,
and at three they were driving home.
"You will surely come out this
evening and hear the music and have

tions, as, with skillful hands, the
young girl took up the reins.

swer. Jess was clinging to her BROTH
.er's hand as he stood by the wheel,
and LOOMS had already clambered in
beside her.
"Please come, Marshall" pleaded
Jessie; but he shook his head.
81 must be at camp this evening,
sister mine. We go to stables in an
hour. You will come back, LOOMS ?"
"As soon as I've seen" and a sig
nifcant nod supplied the ellipsis.
Something ominous was in the wind
and both girls knew it. LOOMS, usual
ly gay and chatty, was oddly silent, as
the light, covered wagon sped swiftly
homeward. Beside the fair charioteer
sat young officer of the infantry who,
vastly rejoicing that Dean could not go,
had laughingly possessed himself of
the vacant place, and to him Miss Fol-
som had to talk. But they parted from
their escorts at the gate and fastened
within doors. Just as Elinor expected,
papa had not come home. It was near
~ six when she saw him striGing slow
ly and thoughtfully up the road and
she met him at the gate.
Tell me what has happened, daddy"
was her quiet greeting, as she linked
her hands over his burly arm, and look
ing into her uplifted, thoughtful eyes,
so full of intelligence and deep atfec-
ton, he bent and kissed her cheek.

Grinding Feed for Cattle.

It most certainly pays to grind feed
for fattenipg cattle. The waste in feed
ing SHIELDED corn or corn in the ear is
hard to- estimate. All corn that, is not
ground by the teeth is practically lost.
A thoughtful feeder will see the advan-
tage and have a mill on his farm or go
to the trouble and expense of getting
his corn ground. II good tight troughs
are used to feed in there will be little
waste. Whether gu feed on a large or
small scale, 1t pays to grind your corn.

hustle among the tents. In front of
the canvas home of the young COM
mander a grave-faced group had gath
cred, two gentle girls among them, one
with tear-dimmed eyes. Old Folsom
stood apart in murmured conference
with Griggs, the sutler. The regi-
mental quartermasterw was deep in con-
sultation with Dean, the two officers
pacing slowly up and down. One or
two young people from the garrison
had spent few minutes earlier in the
evening striving to be interesting to
the girls; but Jessie's fearful eyes and
Miss Folsom's grave manner proved
hint sufficient to induce them to with
draw, each bidding Dean good nj ht,
safe journey and speedy return, and
the hand-clasps were kind and cordial.
The colonel himself had paid brief
visit to camp, his adjutant in attend
ance, and had given Mr.. Dean ten min
utes of talk concerning a country Dean
knew all about, but that "Pecksniff''
had never seen. 1T is responsibility

cerned; but we start at three"
"Oh, ah-yes, of course-well- all
it leaves me practically with no COM
mand, but I'll hope to have you back,
Mr.. Dean. Good-by." Then as he
passed Folsom the colonel whispered:
''That's $4,000 as good as thrown
away"
''Ten thousand dollars!" answered
the trader in reply. What do you
mean?"
"That's what those boys are to run
the gantlet with. .My-ah-protests
are entirely unavailing."
For a moment Folsom stood there

solemn strains of taps sailing down

FcedinE the Fall Pigs,

I think twice a day is enough to
feed pigs after they are four months
old, and then give them what they will
eat up clean: The trough should be
clean and free from snow and ice.
Their slop should not be too cold, but
the chill should be taken off. The Stops
taken from the kitchen and thickened
with ,middlings make good feed. Put
the mid dlings in the pail after the Pigs
are fed, and lot the slop be poured over
it and remain in the house until ready
to feed. This will make it warm
enough, and the pigs will relish it,
