which was to turn them out of house
and home! Dorothy's breath came
thick at the thought, but she was a
brave girl, and she FASTENED home to
do what she might before it should be
to late.
She found her father in the stable
putting the harness on one of the
horses. There was stern determination
written in every line of the fine old face.
"Where are you going, father?" she
asked.
''To town, to swear out warrant
against Loudon for trespass," was the
curt reply. "He has sent his man over
to move that line fence"
"Oh, father, 1 wish you wouldn't!
And on Memorial day, too! Surely we
can afford to be generous on this day
of all Others"
"It isn't question of generosity;
I'd give him the land willingly if he
needed it, but won't let him take it
when it doesn't belong to him."
"But, father, just think how kind
they've all been to us since we came
here, strangers in a strange land. Have
you forgotten how Kate used to come
over and sit up night after night with
mother in that awful time two years
ago? And how the major used to come
twice a day to ask if there wasn't
something he could do for us?"
The hard lines in her fathers face
melted ever so little, but he went on
Harvesting the horse.

as much for him and his this minute.
I'm not angry, child, but it's matter
of principle. In justice to you and
Tom, and to your mother, [ am bound
to defend my legal rights"
"Please don't go to-day, father.
Won't you wait just a little while? AS
it stands now the major is the ag-
gressor, and I'm sure he'll be sorry if
you'll only give him a little time to
think about it."
For a moment she thought she had
won. He paused with the bride on his
arm, grasping the horses forelock.
Then he shook his head and slipped the
bride into place.
Its no use, Dorothy, girl. It's got

rather have it done and over with"
She let him go at that, but when he
climbed to his seat in the sulky she
gave him parting word.
Remember the day, father-we
used to call it our 'forgiving day at
home. Think of the good things the
major has done for US, and try to for
give him.
When he was gone she did not know
what to do with herself. With the
burden of the dreadful secret weighing
upon her-the secret which she had not
shared with her father for fear she
should tempt him to forbear from I'M
worthy motives-she dared not face
her mother; and Toms CHEEKY whistle
warned her off from the workshop.
She went to the gate and watched her
father driving down the winding road.
He was letting the horse walk, and as
| long as she could see him she fancied
that his determination was wavering.
! When the sulky disappeared over the
final hill she opened the gate and
walked aimlessly in the opposite DR.
rection.
Her walk was a long one, and it led
her far up the slopes of the great
mountain which walls in the sheltered
| valley on the west. Near the cliff line

How Coal Resembles Ice.

Coal, petroleum and illuminating
gas are related to one another much
as are ice, water and steam. For
this reason perfect combustion of
liquid fuel is already advanced as a
long step toward vaporization, just
as ice is advanced toward steam
when turned into water. The vola-
tile elements of coal are locked up in
solid form, or virtually frozen solid.
Prof. Dewar has demonstrated how
great an amount of heat must be
taken from the so-called permanent
gases to make them liquid, and how
much more to make them solid. Yet
nature has solicited gas into the
form of coal, and solid coal, like solid
ice, will only dissolve into vapor
through the expenditure of heat

she had stumbled upon dell thickly
starred with sweet-scented white
azaleas; and remembering in the
midst of her troubled musings her
mothers fondness for this particular
wild flower, she had filed her arms
with the fragrant blooms.
She came out of the forest at the
foot of the mountain into an open
space which appeared to be an old field
long uncultivated. 1t was in the little
depression between the knoll and the
mountain, and the Loudon orchard ran
down to it's farther edge. She could see
the roof of the great house above the
trees in the orchard, and thinking to
save time she cut across the old field
toward the road.
In mid-passage she came upon low,
curving mound, grass-grown and half
hidden in a thicket of old-field pines.
1t was the remains of an old breast
work, and between the horns of the
curve were seven graves. Only one OF
them was marked, and she knelt to
read the inscription on the plain white
headstone:
CAPTAIN ROBERT PERCY GORDON,
who, with six members of
his command, gave up his
life on this spot,
September 6, 1863
while resisting the
advance of the Federal
Army of Invasion.
Dorothy's eyes were swimming when
she finished. She was altogether of
the other side; two uncles and her
grandfather were of this same "Fed-
eral Army of Invasion" and these three
slept among the heroes in the national
cemetery at Chattanooga; but true
heroism knows no political creed, and
the tears came quickly when she pic
tured this little band of seven men ly
ing behind the rude breastwork and
yielding up their lives freely in the
cause which they believed to be right.
''Poor fellows" she said, softly. 'All
these years you've been lying here for
gotten in this lonely spot, and it is
left for the daughter of those who
fought against you to do you honor!"
Swiftly and with deft fingers she
twined the starry azaleas into seven
wreaths and laid them reverently upon
the sunken mounds, leaving the

vnriabIeness In Cow Peas.

The most marked variation in the
character of the cow pea is to be
found in the color of the seed, which
may be of any of the shades of black,
white, red, brown, yellow, gray, green
and purple, or they may be speckled
with two or more of these colors. In
shape they may be round fat or
broad kidney shaped or fattened at
the ends. The period of ripening re-
quired by different varieties varies
from go to more than 200 days, and
the same variety will ripen seed in
less time from late than from early
planting and in less time in dry sea-
sons than in seasons of an abundance
of rain, while an excess of nitrogen
in the soil retards both fruiting
and maturity, increasing the yield
Of vine and not infrequently decreas-
ing the yield of peas, as compared
with less fertile soils.

the wood above and below the girdled
spot. Press one of the sharpened
ends of the twig into the lower cut,
and, bending the twig, spring the
other end into the incision above.
These twigs should be placed along
the wound about an inch apart. If
just the right length they will be
firm, and no tying is required. Put
small hit of wax at the points where
the twigs enter the tree. 1t is not
thought desirable to do this bridge
grating on any but strong, vigorous
trees. Girdled trees only a year or
two old would better be removed and
others put in their place.-Rural New

If you have nothing but poor soil
on your farm do not try to raise sugar
beets, no matter how many other ia
vorable conditions you may possess.
The better the soil, the larger the
crop. 1t should be at least two years
under cultivation. Never put beets on
exposed slopes where the soil is liable
to blow or wash. The beet grows on
almost any soil except pure sand or
gravel. The soil best suited to the
normal development of beets is rich
sandy loan with porous clay subsoil.
4 soil excessively rich in heterogeneous
matter is not the best and shallow
soil with d hard subsoil (hard PAM is
to be avoided entirely.
