| After that event Andrew had taken n
upon himself to convey all that he saw
and heard In reference to Miss Carol to
Roger Darrell. He did not act in mean
manner, but, believing that his object
was good, and that the end justified the
means, he was continually on the look
out for something Ringing on the case.
Thus the young master Of Darrell Chace
was aware Of all Things of importance
that were Transporting at the Terrace.
He learned. with great surprise and an
ger, of the plans that were being rer-
fected for the speedy marriage Of Carol
Both the Captain and Lawrence Rich
mond would have been amazed could
they have learned how much Of their
mutual understanding was known. Roger
was quite well aware of the fact that the
soldier duelist possessed a secret which
he held over the head Of Carols father,
and that this same secret was TO be the
open sesame to the old gentlemans
treasures
He knew that Carol hated this Cap
tain Grant, whoever he might be, aud
he became firmly resolved that, IL it
must be the last act of his life. he would
prevent the unholy marriage. Since
words would be of no avail, he was ready
to proceed to still stronger measures.
He remembered the story Of young
Lochinvar. who carried off his bride Just
when she was about to be married to an
other. and yet the cases were far from
being parallel. for in this instance there
was a barrier between them. and. even
though he saved Carol from such a fate,
1t would not bring them any closer to-
getheF.
Meanwhile preparations were going on
at the Terrace for the wedding of Cap
tain Grant and Carol. The young cir.
had not spirit enough just then to resist.
Her faith in Roger was not gone. but 1t
had received a terrible shock, aad this
rendered her quieseent with the numb
pain that filed her heart.
The preparations were not Of magnifi-
cent lture, for it was the Captains wish
that the ceremony should be quiet What
was IFS object in this, he, the man so
full # display and love of ostentation,
they could not comprehend: but Law
renee Richmond suspected that be was
afraid some one who had known him in
the past might learn of his whereabouts.
Filled with this idea. the Virginian
made haste to have an announcement OF
the coming marriage In several different
papers of Washington and Richmond.
With rare cunning he also contrived to
have a little item go the rounds Of the
press in reference to a vow the soldier
had made years before, to always wear
his left hand covered by a black kid
glove.
IL that doesn't bring the Philistines
down upon him. then all is lost"
So said the master of the Terrace to
himself as he read some Of the notices
that were in the papers, and then caro-
fully hid the sheets away for fear the
Captain should aiight upon them.

Circular Form of silo.

The consensus Of opinion OF those
who have studied the silo problem in
Gieates that the circular form is pref
erable There are however, many
square and rectangular silos in success
full operation Especially is this the
case with those having rounded corners.
Where great strength and large capac,
ity are demanded the frame circular
silo will best meet the requirements,
This form of silo can be made quite
durable By plastering the inside with
cement. The circular stave silo, owing
to its simplicity and economical con-
struction, seems to fully meet the re-
quirements of the farmer. With the
form of silo properly erected the waste
of silage is reduced to the minimum.
Hoops for the silo ca be made of
any suitable material, such as half
inch. seyen-sixteenths inch or five
eighths inch round iron, one-eighth
inch fiat iron two inches wide or wire.
The woven wire fence hoop is often
used since 1t is regarded as being very
economical. Doors may be simply
sawed out, or made continuous from
the bottom to the top of the silo. The

made no moan: but 'stiIl waters run
deep" ard her quiet manner was only
evidence of the great pain within.
Nora Warner had met her one day in
the woods, had told her the story of the
perfdy of Roger Darrell" and the story
had almost killed her SO long as she
simply believed that there had been .
great mistake in his past life-that he
had welded u woman who had gone mad
she could still love him. After hearing
what a horrible narrative Nora Warner
had to tell, however. it seemed as though
all the dreams of her young life were
shattered.
She could not believe Roger guilty of
such inhuman cruelties toward one who
had been such good angel toward him,
and who had given him such trusting
love. and yet Nora Warner had been
ready TO stake her very soul upon it.
She had borne none of the looks such as
an insane person would be supposed to
possess, and had, in fact, seemed singu-
larry calm, except for the excitement
caused by the telling of her story.
Conflicting doubts arose in the mind of
the young girl, aud she suffered quite as
much from the uncertainty of knowing
the truth as from the facts themselves.
She was not to be allowed to remain
long in this state, however. Events were
clustering about her own home that
were destined to have much concern with
her future.
Meanwhile Lawrence Richmond was
like tiger at bay. He was in the tolls
of the oppressor, and. although he squirm-
ed under the yoke, he could do nothing
but what the Captain wished.
The Captain knew full well how he was
hated, but he was too bold and reckless
to heed it much, and let events shape
themselves.
The situation had not been very pleas
ant one menaced by those two women
Of the dead past as it had been: but he
was man who believed firmly in luck
and fate. and someth' : seemed to tell
him that all would come out well.
So far as Barbara Merriles was con
cerned this had come true. for she would
trouble him no more, unless her spirit
could come back to haunt the man who
had been the curse of her life, a thing
that the Captain had 20 fear Of.
| Thus affairs were allowed to drift along
in their own way, and the fatal nour

can be used where it might not be well
to use the sulphuric acid gas, as in

II is really surprising how frequent
" farmers are taken in by tree sharps.
one would suppose that the inform 4
ton concerning tree growth and soils
possessed by all farmers would be suf-
Ecient to make them suspicious of big
stories, but it is evident. from the way
in which the rogues thrive. that they
find easy Victims in the farming com
munities. 0ne of the latest schemes
is for the tree agent to offer to plant an
acre with trees for $100 and to care
for the trees for five years. In addi-
ton he agrees that the firm he repre-
sents will buy all the fruit from the
trees at an advance of from 10 to . per
cent over the ruling market price. 1t
would hardly seem as If any man of in
telligence would be taken in by such a
proposition. yet hundreds of dollars
are being put in the pockets of these
rogues by unsuspeCting farmers. There
are many nurserymen I'm the country
who sell their products entirely
through agents, and such men are re
liable, but they do not tell improbable
stories or exhibit wax fruit and claim
it 10 be genuine; neither do they make
offers such as the one above stated. As
a rule. it is entirely safe to refuse TO
sign any paper offered by stranger
for even simple receipt may turn up
Il note, which must be paid.

All chickens seem to thoroughly en-
joy dust bath, and its use undoubted-
ly is benefit to their plumage, besides
Kidding them of lice. If the plumage
is to be kept clean and bright, especial
~ on birds intended for exhibition pur-
poses or of white varieties, it is essen
tial that the busting place be kept abb
solutely dry, as otherwise it will soil
the plumage and the fine bird on which
you may pride yourself will look very

allow their fowls the liberty of the
sheds where the farm machinery is
housed and here they get a fine busting
in all sorts of weather, but if the birds
roost on them 1t does not improve their
looks nor the working of the farm Inn
