The Baby Wa. Dead.


In Woodson county a lot of women
went to an auction sale held by the
widow of a deceased farmer, Joseph
Logue. Mrs. Logue had placed her
three-months-old baby in little box
cradle. The first woman who came in
carelessly threw some sort of wrap
over this cradle. Then all the women
that followed piled their wraps and
bundles in the same place. At last
one woman seated herself on the piled
up cradle while she crooned to her
own baby which had been placed on
a nearby bed. Fifteen minutes later
Mrs. Logue came into the room. as
her eye took in the situation, she
screamed, threw the woman violently
away from the cradle, dug frantically
among the wraps and bundles and
brought up her -dead.-Kansas

In 1888, while passing down the

The place was packed with people
and an enormous banner on the out
side depicted a savage looking wild
man. He was described as having
been captured in the caves of Ken
lucky. I followed my acquaintance
upstairs, and in due time, after q
preliminary lecture, a door was
thrown open, disclosing what looked
like a prison cell, in which, chained to
an iron grating, stood man closely
resembling the one represented in the

CHAPTER X.

Days passed, and save at distance
Brown saw nothing of Alice. Day
after day, when not on duty, he re-
paired with his sketch book to his
usual haunts, but she had either dis
continued her daily rides or had chosen
new field for that healthful recrea-
ton. He could not understand 1t, and
the clinging fear came upon him that
her father had learned of their meet
ings and with a strict eye to military
propriety, had forbidden the contin-
uance of their friendship. The thought
troubled him greatly, and he grew mo-
rose and reserved in his intercourse
with his comrades. II was believed by
his associates that the sting of the dis
grace Of court-martial had left a pain
full wound, and they did all they could
to show him that in their eyes his
honor was unsullied by the act of as
sault and its penalty.
1t is custom at military posts of the
west that after each days service on
guard duty the cavalry soldier, should
he so desire, is given "hunting pass"
and is permitted to take his horse and
go in quest of game. In his perturbed
state of mind sketching had lost its in
terest 30 Brown, and after each guard
service he would secure official permis-
sion, mount his horse and speed away
toward the base of the Magdalena or
San Mateo mountains to hunt ante
lope.
One afternoon while returning from
hunt he rode slowly down n draw or
depression in the plain, his thoughts
busy with Alice Sanford. 1t had be-
come quite apparent to him that her
failure to meet him as Of old was of her
own connivance, else why, in such
lovely weather, had she discontinued
her daily gallops down the river? He
chided himself for ever having had the
assurance TO think that he, private sol
der, might aspire to the love of the
! daughter of the commanding officer OF
| one of the most important military
| posts in the west. lie began to think
| that it would have been better for his
/ peace of mind had he never met her.
Riding from the draw onto the leveI
! of the plain two moving objects caught
| his eye n mile distant, travelling in the
direction of the mountains. Hastily
taking his feld-glass from saddl,
pocket he leveled it upon the objects
and his heart seemed to grow cold ant
a great lump came into his throat whcr
he saw Alice and Lieut.. Nandevei
riding slowly along side by side, ap
parently engaged in deep conversation
Here, he thought, was an explanation
of why the girl had avoided him. Sh,
had become on friendly terms with tn,
lieutenant. OF course he had painted
his assailant in the darkest colors, anl
Alice now looked upon her former sol
der friend as one unworthy of her no
tice. Perhaps she had even been lee
to hate HIM. The thought was MAIDEN
ing, and his breast was rent with pain
full emotions at the reflection thai
ne might never again hear the lovec
tones of her voice or gaze into her soul

Alice threw her arms about her
friends neck, and kissed her fondly.
Then her emotions overcame her, and
burying her face in Mrs. Colby's bosom
she sobbed like a child. Capt. Colby's
step upon the porch aroused her, and
going out at the back door to avoid
meeting him in her aRitated state Of
mind, she sought her home and the
privacy Of her own chamber.

HINTS FOR FARMERS
Pigs ms II Dairy Adjunct.

AS pork products are commanding
better prices than for several years, it
will be for the interest of farmers keep
Ing cows. and especially where there
is supply of milk the year around, TO
pay more attention to keeping of swine,
says a writer in American Agricultur
ist
AS now, more than formerly, light
weight hogs are more In request than
heavy ones, it becomes possible with
good management to raise and fattcn
two broods of pigs in one year, as at G
months old they will be ready for mar
ket and at good prices.
This will allow of a good number Of
pigs being grown and fattened with n
moderate sized dairy.
To make the business most profitable
brood sows should be kept on the farm
and the pigs raised for use, thus saw
ing the cost of buying, besides having
such breeds as are best for the pur-
pose.
