them going edgewise, as the entire

To gauge the depth, use a straight

Earthquakes Didn't Disturb Him,

In the winter of 1890 Marion Craw-
ford was In San Francisco on lecture
tour under Major Pond Of New York,
who related the following incident: 1t
was during his sojourn In the city that
San Francisco was visited by rather
severe earthquake The novelist was
stopping at the Palace hotel. Many of
the guests had never experienced such
a tremOr. II was shortly before mid
night. and many were In their rooms
asleep. In few seconds there were
the greatest Consideration and terror.
The halls were filed with excited men
and women, and for awhile n panic
was imminent. After quiet had been
restored Mr.. Crawford was discovered
In the cafe by nm excited friend. He
was sitting Mt n table eating and read-
ing paper. His friend rushed up TO
him and IN breathless excitement ex-
claimed. did you feel itT

"The earthquake"
why. bless me, no! But, since you
mention II, ! thought the cream that |
poured In my coffee seemed TO have
been stirred round, and you notice my
spoon lies here beside my cup"
Mr.. Crawford afterward explained
that he had become no accustomed to
earthquakes in Italy that he seldom
paid any attention to them and that
not infrequently they would occur
without his notice.

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

1t is a mistake to rake up the leaves
in the wood lot or any other place
where they may be allowed to remain.
Besides being of valne as winter pro-

to the fertility of the ground.
Blackberries and raspberries grow
from shoots formed just below ground.
When transplantinS them the mistake
of setting them too deep, practically
killing them, is not uncommon. The
roots should be but just below the
surface.
In California they have late ripen.
ing navel orange called navelencia,
which, on account of it's lateness OF
ripening, prolongs the season con-
siderably. The navel itself owes it's
introduction to the late William
Saunders.
The Snyder blackberry is a popular
sort in the northwest, because of its
extreme hardness and it's productive.

fruit, but it is hardly as hardy as
the others, but quite hardy enough for
the middle states.
Many common cvergreens can be
transplanted from the woods with or.
binary care if not too large a size be
taken. A plant of three feet, with good
roots, will be more satisfactory than
a six-foot one. Eacly spring is good

and her long lashes fell before his

as if the question had been a shot
which reached the very citadel of her
most sacred convictions.

THE DUTY OF MOTHERS,

What suffering frequently results
from a mothers ignorance or more
frequently from mothers neglect to
properly instruct her daughter!
Tradition says woman must SUI
fer" and young women are so taught.
There is a little truth and a great deal
of exaggeration in this. If a young
woman suffers severely she needs
treatment. and her mother should see
that she gets it.
Many mothers hesitate to take their
daughters to physician for examina-
ton but no mother need hesitate TO
write freely about her daughter or
herself to Mrs. Pinkham and secure
the most efficient advice without
charge. Mrs. Pinkham's address is

CHAPTER II.

Maj. Goddard spent all the next day
in the city busy over some legal mat
ters connected with his recent losses.
He missed his usual train and was
forced to take one an hour later. In
consequence of this delay it was dark
when he arrived home The drawing
room was lighted, and through the
window he saw Blanche and his pri-
vate secretary, Mr.. Hubert Talley, at
the piano, but he did not enter. All
day he had been worrying over his
Wife's recent moroseness, and he did
not want to lose moment before
seeing her. He fancied she must be
in her own apartment, so he went up
stairs to her door. It was closed. He
raped gently, but received no re.
spouse from within. He raped again,
but with no better result; then he
tried the latch and found the door
locked. For moment he stood mas
tered by thoughts which both contra
dicted and confirmed each other.
Then he remembered that the door
was the only outlet from the room to
the main stairway, and as there was
no light to be seen through the key
hole he half persuaded himself that
Jeanne had dressed and gone down.
He turned quickly into his own
on the electric light. His first thought
was that he would change his dress
before joining the others, but his i'm
patience to see his wife defeated this
idea and he hurried downstairs.
He looked into the library, large,
coy apartment opposite the drawing
room. A coal fire was burning warm
and red in the crate, but the room
was empty. Just then the butler,
Wilkins, opened the folding doors and
a view of the archaeological dining
hail in it's vast splendor of white
cloth, silver and cut-glass met God
dard's rowing eye.

SIR
Returned! from where? '''
From. the city, sir. She went in
this afternoon
ITO the city! at what time?''
'She caught the lao train;" It was
Blanche's voice behind him. and it
contained a note of startled concern.
"She said. she would go direct to your
Office and return with YOU
II have not seen her; my God! what
can have happened to her?"
Blanche motioned the butler to re-
tire, and he did SO, discreetly closing
the door.
