"Were you reduced to the lowest es-
tate of poverty, so long az your gen.
erous, pure soul was free l should
only be the more anxious to lift you
up. Oh, my love knows only the
heart whereon it is secured, and for
nv future of Joy l ask only the
truth of my husbands love-"
"Bless you, dearest!" Ruric mur-
INJURED, clasping the fair being to
his bosom. And for a long while
Rosalind's head lay pillowed upon
the shoulder of the man she so tru-
ly, fondly loved.
That was not the time for bring
ing forward doubts and fears. Ru-
ric had many questions in his mind
concerning the impediments that
stood in the way of their union, but
he kept them to himself now. At
length he arose to take his depar-
ture, and he simply said as he drew
the maiden to his side:
"You will not allow the duke to
give your hand away~
"Never, Ruric."
eff he asks you for your hand to
bestow upon any of his friends, you
will tell him.
"That my heart is not mine to
give and that my hand cannot go
without it.
"Oh, bless you, Rosalind, bless
you! God keep and guard you
ever"
There was one warm, ardent pres
sure of lip to lip, and then Ruric
Nevel turned away and was soon in
the open court. Here he entered his
sledge and then drove to the bar
racks in the Khitagorod, where he
inquired for Alaric Orsa, a lieuten-
ant of the guard. The officer was
quickly found, and as he met Ruric
his salutation was warm and cordial.
He was a young man, not over five
and twenty, and one of the finest
looking soldiers in the guard.
"Alaric," said the gunmaker after
the first friendly salutations had
passed, 'G may have meeting with
Conrad, Count Damonoff. He has
sought quarrel-insulted me most
gossly-aimed a blow at my head
and knocked him down. You can
Judge as we'll as I what the result
must be-"
'Most assuredly he will challenge
you!" cried the officer excitedly.
$50 1 Think" resumed Ruric
calmly. "And, now, will you serve
me in the event?"
"With pleasure"
"1 may refer his messenger to
you%
eyes, surely. And how shall !
act? What will you do?"
"Knock him down again under
the same proVocatlon.
T understand. You wish to re-
tract nothing?"
"No. Listen; I will tell you all
since seek your aid"
And thereupon Ruric related all
that had occurred at the time of the
counts visit to his shop.
"Good," uttered Alaric as the
gunmaker finished. ''He must chal-
lenge you, and then you'll punish
him. He's too proud now. He can
handle some of his lilytops who as
sociate with him, and perhaps ne
thinks he can do the same when he
comes out among the harder men:
But never mind, I will be punctual
and faithful"
Ruric reached home just as his
mother was placing the board for
dinner. He often went away on
business, and she thought not OF
asking him any questions.

THE SUPPLY OF HOGS.
1t II Somewhat Below Demand nj
Present and Prospects for the
Future Are Promising.

The man who raises plenty of corn
and then raises plenty of hogs to con-
sumo it, is putting his product where
it. will do the most good, says Drov-
crs' journal. Hogs are relatively
high now and according to the best
information obtainable the supply in
the country is somewhat below the
normal ut the present time. How
ever, the best posted men on the hog
situation have been mistaken On fore
casts of this kind and one is bound
to admit that the country is large and
that it is impossible to get accurate
statistics on the growing crop. There
are many who believe that the light
average weight is an indication that
the later supply will be short, basing
their judgment on the theory that no
heavy hogs are available, because if
they were the premium that they are
commanding would force them in.
Without question the marketing Of SO
many young hogs now means less to
come later on, whether the shortage
will be serious or not remains to be
seen. So far this winter the eastern
supply has been quite large, at least
large enough to keep shipments down
to a comparatively low figure. 1t is
generally believed that this supply has
been pretty we'll marketed and so the
coast is clearer for a better demand
from this source later on. Perhaps
the high price of corn has discouraged
many farmers from feeding as many
hogs as usual, but even with corn at
present prices there could he no bet
ter investment than converting it in to
pork.

Higher Standard for Horses.

One thing the breeders and owners
of horses should not fail @ remember
is the change that has taken place in
the matter of grading horses. a good
horse twenty or even ten years ago,
in most classes, would not rank as
high now as he did then. 1t takes Il
better horse to be IL top-notcher now
than it did then, and it takes L bet

USES or THE SILO.
1t Helps tn Make the farm Richer

Qnd Saves Feed BILLS.

Yes, build a silo. You are in farming
Us business. Why not act according
ly? 1t will fit into the whole operation
of your farming, and if you make
dairying specially it will, without
hint of doubt, fit into your cow
keeping.
1t does not matter what fellows
who never had silos say. Nor does
the experience of the man who had a
bad silq and consequently bad silage
count against the good silo and the
good silage. Those fellows don't
know. Better take evidence from u
competent witness. Go ask some one
who docs know and who can reinforce
his knowledge with increased live
stock, better kept and more profit
able-the man who has proven the pud'
ding by having eaten of it. There has
been no plant discovered from which
we American farmers can produce as
much good food for our COWS as from
our corn, and up to this time no way
has been found by which so much of

is no other feed that have found more
relished by my COWS than silage. a
great deal of the starch that goes in
with the corn comes out sugar in the
silage, and when it has gone into the
mouth of good COW it comes out milk
in the bucket.
In corn we produce food value more
cheaply than in any other growth and
in the silo we preserve it more cheaply
than by any other method.
The silo is not olnnipotent; it does
not hold the balance of power between
success and failure for the careless,
lazy farmer. But it is like Il good wife,
it can assist nightly. 1t is like reli-
gion, one must have it to know what a
good thing it is and only the good
kind is worth having. Not only arc the
corns and the clovers and the beans
put into the silo, but tn: sweet green

and the winter dairy tastes the corn

1t helps the dairy, and the young stock.
1t helps you make your farm richer

Ithas long been we Il established fact
that pigs narrowed in winter are much
more profitable than those narrowed
in summer. Many farmers claim that
one winter pig is worth two summer
ones. With many this could not be true,
for the winter pig would usually be
dead one. It may be that for lack
of proper preparation some of our
readers are just now passing through
disastrous experiences in winter pig
raising and that they would welcome
some suggestions in regard to prep
aration for another season.
With proper preparation and care,
pigs narrowed in midwinter can be
raised with as little mortality as those
narrowed in summer. In addition to
proper feed, the great requisite is COM

HINT TO COUNTRY MERCHANTS.
The Local Weekly His Defense Against
Mail Order Houses.

The Local weekly HIS Defense Against
Mall order Houses.
The country merchant is making
great talk about the mail order houses
in the big cities who are getting trade
away from him, but with all his out
cry he is really making no serious ef-
fort to prevent it, says the Advertising
World. You can't stop people from
buying where they think they can buy
the cheapest, simply by the use Of in
vective. The only way the country
merchant can hope to compete with
the mail order houses is by meeting
them on their own ground-by adver-
tising.
There is absolutely no hope for the
business of the country merchant un-
til he cOrrects a few of his time worn
views about advertising Advertising
is simply telling what you have to sell
and the price. 1t makes no difference
If your ads. are not written by an eX-
pert or illustrated by a high-priced art
ist, you can make them effective and
result producing If you bear in mind
the one point that an ad. should tell
about what you have to sell and not
simply about yourself.
The advertising done by the average
country merchant is usually something
frightful. He does not consider adver-
tlsing a force by which he is to di-
rectly increase his business, but as a
kind Of leg-pulling proposition on the
part Of the local newspaper. Amy old
thing will do him in the way of an an
nouncement and the smaller the space
the editor will let him down with the
better the bargain he imagines he has
made. Some merchants carry nothing
but a stereOtyped card, year in and
year out, yet If they stopped to think,
they find that they have dozens Of
things they could sell at less than reg
ular prices and which, if made known,
would attract many buyers who would
otherwise send to the big cities for
them. The secret of the success of
the mail order firms is simply because
their advertisements tell something.
Any kind of advertising is of course
better than none. All advertising
pays in some way or another, but the
merchant who does no advertising at
all, because he is not able to afford
big pages, makes one large mistake.
If you can't do the best advertising,
do the best you can. What the best
is that you can do may seem very
small, but advertising is something
that pays for itself and it increases
right along.
