and put her straightway in charge of the
maid, that in no case of misadventure
may scandal ever wag its venomous
tongue against her good name"

ture can happen. Isn't Hetty with me,
and won't we be married tomorrow"

John rather sheepishly admitted that
Fate had given him no such security,
though he deemed there was not much
room for question in the premises. But
he was sensible enough to see that the
landlords advice was good and accepted
it gracefully, even gratefully. Hetty,
too, who had kept very quiet notwith-
standing a keen sense of disappointment
and anxiety, looked much relieved. The
woman's bug-bear, being talked about"
had doomed up in terrible proportions be-
fore her when the old landlords few
words had set her thinking what people
might say, even after John and she were
married.
Busy as her mind had been with the
future the night before leaving home,
certain contingencies, which now seemed
the most naturally -to-be-expected things,
had not occurred to her; first and most
serious among them, that she and John
might not get married that day, and she
felt that had this seemed probable she
would hardly have had the courage to
run away with him.
At her husbands call of "Motherr'

they would be married early in the fore
noon and go straight to Johns mothers
house, where they would live until ne nao
fixed up the old Duncan homestead
which was Johns by inheritance-for
their own home. 1t would need new
roof, new spring-house would be re-
quired, and a good deal would have TO
be done to the barn; all of which could
be completed by time for starting the
garden in the spring. They had settled
what stock would have I'd be bought and
had under discussion enlargement of the
orchard-when the clock struck ten.

John, tenderIy, rising and putting his big
arm about her waist. Haven't we been
busy planning a home for Love himself?'
But, before l leave you and run up to
Mrs. Robinson, you might, just once, tell
me how much you love me-"
II couldn't tell you that, Hetty, if l

me the rest of my life to show you how

They were standing near the door. He
pressed her close to his breast, kissing
her passionately, again and again. whis-
pering reluctantly between the kisses:
"Good night, love; good night"
AS he relaxed his hold upon her and
Strengthened himself up, she suddenly
flung her arm about his neck, drew his
head down so that her lips touched one
of his ears, and whispered:
Il love you. john"
Then, with a celebrity that dazed him,
she bit his ear kissed his lips, sprang out
of his arms. darted through the door and
vanished. The bite was sharp, and the
kiss sweet; and which came first he
could not have told for the life of him.

Corn in Pork.

One of the great problems in profita-
bly, carrying on the hog industry is to
secure the large gains from a busheI of
corn that at one time it was thought
impossible, but is now being proved al
most daily. While ordinary good feed
ing is eight to ten pounds gain, superb
or feeding brings fifteen pounds. We
find the report recently made by G. G.
Neff, of Ohio, that by careful feeding
he made an average on bunch of 500
hogs of fifteen pounds eight ounces
gain for bushel of corn, and after the
second period a gain of fifteen and
three-quarter pounds per bushel was
made.-American Swineherd.

The lovers knew nothing of the tragic

A Curious MaIadY.

Among the peasants of Southern
Italy, Sicily and Aardinia, a curious
malady has been noticed by physicians
which is caused by eating beans. One
of the most remarkable effects of the
malady is a species of intoxieation re-
sembling that produced by alcoholic
drink. In some cases persons predis-
posed to the malady are seized with
the symptoms of intoxcation If they
