frightened. had sense enough left to
follow and shoot a couple Of times as
they tore down the stairs. One Of them
stumbled and rolled all the way to the
bottom. He was unconscious and
bleeding when reached his side. The
other fellow flew toward the dining
hall, where he was Immediately nabbed
by two white uniformed men and
throttled.
"Other men in white-they were reg
ular police officers-pounced upon me,
and was prisoner. By George, I
was knocked Off my feet the next min

putting and blowing into the hall, red
der and tiercer than ever. Now

utes to convince him Of his error.
Then he and some Of the men went up
to the princess room, while quickly
led the way to the big gate and di-
rected q half dozen officers toward the
ravine. They came up finally with the
two fellows who had been stationed
beneath the window and who were un-
able to find the gate. When got back
to where you were, the room was full
of terrified men and women half dress
ed. I was still dazed over the sudden
appearance of the police, but managed
to tell my story in full to Dangloss
and Count Halfont-that's Uncle Cas-
par-and then the chief told me how he
and his men happened to be there. In
the meantime the castle physician was
attending to you. Dannox had been
carried away.

audience iS my life. There was the
princess at my elbow, and the countess

old gray haired lady. the Countess Hal

with men galore. Dangloss and the

and increasing crowd. The captain of
the guards. a young fellow named
Quinnox. as l heard him called, came
in worried and humiliated. fancy he
was afraid he'd lose his job. You see,
1t was this way: Old Dangloss has had
q man watching US all day. Think of
it-shadowing US like couple Of
thieves. This fellow traced US to the
castle gate and then ran back for re-
endorsements. confident that we were
there to rob. In twenty minutes he
had a squad Of officers at the gate, the
chief trailing along behind. A couple
of guards came charging up to learn
the cause of the commotion, and the
whole crew sailed into the castle, ar
irving just in time.
"Well, just as soon as had told them
the full story Of the plot, old Caspar,
the chief and the captain held short
consultation, the result Of which l can
tell In mighty few words. At 6 o'clock
they took the whole gang Of prisoners
down in the ravine and shot them.
The mounted guards are still looking
for the two Viennese who were left
with the carriage. They escaped.

Water for Poultry.

There is no more important thing in
the poultry yard than pure water, and
whilst duck or a goose must have
enough to swim in, yet the fact is that a
chick will drink as much water as either
though they will not swim for the
pleasure of it as will IN aquatic fowl.
Water should be placed in vessels in
some shady nook protected from the sun.
The cooler the water, the purer and
better will be the results. Chicks, like
any other creature. will contract disease
from filthy water and foul drinking
pans. The best way we have ever found
is to procure earthenware fountains or
have a large fountain made of galvaniz-
ed iron and placed in box with the
north side open for the chicks to drink.
This arrangement will keep the water
cool, and by replenishing each day the
water will keep fresh and sweet. Little
chicks especially should have water be-
fore them all the time, as they are liable
to drink to excess and produce collie if
the water is not where they can get it
when desired. Poultry should have the
same care and attention as the other
stock on the farm and the same human
ity exercised for it's comfort as any
other. AS you know yourself what a
privatioh the lack ofgood water is, think
of the poor dumb brute under your care
and provide for it as well. "a merciful
man is merciful to his beast. Farmer
and Breeder.

Improve The Waste Corners.
FRUIT TREES MAY PRoFITABLY BE PLANT
ED IN MANY PLACES WHERE NOTHING
OF VALUE NOW GROWS.

In many sections of this country, es.
pecially in the Middle and New-England
States, hardly farm but has its waste
corners, strips or hooks which for some
reasons cannot be readily titled. Usual.
ly these remain SO from year to year.
The idle corner remains just as the IA
ther or grandfather left it. But is this
wisdom? Since land has become so much
more valuble and farms correspondingly
smaller, should not all the ground be
made to produce some crop of value?
think the fruit tree will, in many cases,
do this admirably. On this farm of only
forty-four acres there have been found
places for nearly three hundred trees
during the last two years, while more
than that number can still be planted to
advantage. And this farm is not an ex-
ceptional one in this respect.
Along the fences adjoining public roads
good winter apples can be very profita-
bly, grown. Every forty feet of such road
should have its standard apple tree.
One or two summer or fall apples, good
to eat out of hand, would be doing a
little good in an inexpensive way. The
fruit will be appreciated by the tired
pedestrian and the boys. The fruit from
trees having so much space and sunlight
is nearly always of superior quality. 1t
is little more troublesome to gather on
account of being scattered about so
much, but as, aside from a little pruning
and mulching with coarse manure each
year, it is produced without labor, one
can afford to spend little extra time in
the picking.
Cherries, peaches and pears are also
grown on waste ground on a number OF
farms. All seem to do well, especially
the peaches. As rule, peaches do best
when given good cultivation, but there
have been grown many fine ones in the
out of the way hooks. Judgment should
be used in planting trees to have such as
will best suit the market for which they
are designed and the picking of which
will least interfere with other regular
work.-George Enty Templeton, Penn.

Orchards and Poultry.

As orchards are the abode of insect
enemies, the hens will perform inval-
liable service if allowed to wander at
random therein. No orchard is put to
full use without having poultry. 1t will
cost nothing to allow the hens to use the
orchard. II they are turned out in the
morning, no food given them, and close
observation is made, it will be found
that in short time they will have full
crops, and the greater portion Of this
food will be insects, which cost nothing
at all. There is no necessity for feeding
hens when they can secure 1t for them
selves, while they will be more service
able il compelled to search for their food
than when 1t is given to them literally
by their owner.

belt as any Of the mill towns Of

Why the real estate opportunities

than other cities Of like size on
earth? Why the railroads are all So
