A REAL DAUGHTER OF THE REVOLUTION

SYNOPSIS.
Bx CAROLINE GEBHARDT.

CHAPTER I.-Story opens on Ellery plantation in South Carolina in time of American revolution. Col. Bessemer and British dragoons arrive and ask accom- nnodation of Miss Jane Ellery in the ab- disturbed by firing, and an AmericGn of deer dashes through the lines and disap- pears in the woods.
 CHAPTER II.-Storm delays departure of British soldiers, and Col. Bessemers quite willing to remain in the company of Miss Ellery. During dinner a strange figure with black face and covered with long coat, enters dtntng-room and gives a4isS Ellery 8 note.
 CHAPTER III.-British officers startled recognize in him Capt. Worthington, who they much wished te capture. He was a patriot lover of Miss Ellery. That night the British were attacked at the Ellery plantation, and many Of them killed and wounded.

vAGARIES OF WATCHES.
Vital Energies of Timepieces Like
 Those of Human Beings at Low Ebb at Night.

You know that the vital energies are at lower ebb at night than in the daytime" said an old watchmaker. Would you believe that some watches especially the cheaper ones--are sim ilarly affected? s -e~z E'~
 You know a good watchmaker all ways wants several days in which to regulate a timepiece. That is because the only way to regulate it properly is to compare it with chronomster at tho same hour every day. Otherwise the variations in the speed of the watch will baff1e his efforts.
 "The man to whom was appren- ticed told me this, and I thought the idea absurd. We were working late one night, and he called my attention to a lot of watches we had regulated and ready to deliver. It was near mid night and every watch was slow. The better watches had Jagged be- hind some seconds. The cheaper watches were minute or more out of the way. Next morning every one of the lot was exactly right.
 The fact is, you can regulate a watch to make exactly A hours day, but you can't persuade it to make just 60 minutes in each of the 24 hours. Why this is no one can tell"

elderly guests, while the tarpauliI was gay with dancers moving in tht stately measures of the minuet oI revelling in the sprightlier move ments of livelier dances.
 There were beautiful women ir plenty; southern women with bright eyes, animated faces and rich voices dressed in the beautiful costumes o1 the day, the low-cut bodices, the flowing skirts, the hair waving over ears and caught by high, jewelleo combs at the back, the pointed-toeo slippers with flashing buckles, the Ihirtatious fans and cobwebbed hand. kerchiefs.
 And as for the men, they were as gallant lot as one would wish to see; the British officers smothered in red coats and gold lace; the civilians in e-breeches, ruffled shirts and silk-lined coats.
 We'll pleased, Bessemer moved among his guests, dropping a pleas ant word here, a merry jest there, but never quite losing sight of the younger hostess. He was aware that beneath the smiling graciousness

SALT AS A FERTILIZER.
Has Curious Quality of Promoting Growth of Some Plants and Him
 derinE Others.

The action Of salt, or chloride of sodium, as fertilizer is sometimes very peculiar by reason of it's apparently in- consistent influences. It has the effect of checking vegetable growth and at the same time increasing the yield of wheat and other crops to which 1t is suited. says the Southern Farm Nigga zine. F > s....
 Mangel wurzel, beans, cabbages and onions flourish with liberal supplies of salt. It is also highly advantageous to the growth of asparagus. It is found in every cultivated plant, and, there fore. may be considered, in small quan- titles, as generally desirable for all crops. Lands which are near the sea- coast are always literally supplied with this ingredient by winds. which carry 1t from the sea.
 According to Henry Tanner, of the royal agricultural college in England, one of the most important influences that salt exerts on vegetation is due to it's power to check plant growth, possibly arising from the action of the chlorine which it contains. This is a very inn portant factor in agriculture. and when fully understood will be more generally utilized. In the case, for instance, of a wheat crop upon land that has been too highly manured the tendency is to pro- duce straw rather than grain, the grassy character of the plant being unduly en couraged

OUR WONDERFUL AGE.
Steam and Electricity Have Com. bfned to Turn Us Into n Race of GIOb@-Tr0tterS.

The human race, they tell us, has been on earth at least 390,000 years Until within the last 100 practically no gain was made as to the ease or rapidity with which one might journey from one place to another Abraham could travel as fast as Arthur Young. Indeed, the modernness of our pres ent methods comes over me with great impressiveness when I recall the fact that can remember the days of the Pony Express ....,.
 But steam and electricity have rev olutionized the world. Combined with human curiosity. and the love of ad- venture, they have turned us into a race of globe-tTotters. It is interest ing to notice how soon the most startling changes and the most won derful inventions become common place to us. The son of the man who contentedly took week to get from Boston to Washington now finds him. self perhaps profanely impatient if a train is an hour late, or he has to wait five minutes to get the use of a tele- phone.-From The Influence oi Travel" by Minot J. Savage, in Four Track News for November.

love your brother Edward trebly-- once for himself and twice for his likeness to you? When he rides by my side, can almost delude myself into the belief that it is you I have with me. An. Jane, if you could but know what a sweet comfort 1t is to have upon long marches and hot pur- suit of flying enemies; but-what's that?''
 During their stroll they had en- tered the orchard, whose rear ended in the woodland. Bessemer had caused lanterns to be strung for some distance in this orchard. and many lovers had taken advantage of it's picturesque paths to saunter through it's rnazes, but none of them had wandered quite as far as their host and hostess. Indeed, the two were at the end of the fringe of lanterns.
 Both he and Jane turned their faces towards the shadows. The sounds came closer; the tramp of horses feet, the clanldng of spurs. the cracking of twigs. and smothered talk. At length there emerged into the rim of light the lanterns cast a small party of men. Two were on horseback, each leading 8 second horse that was riderless. Behind them, walking, came two other men with third between them,. evi- dently a prisoner. His dark garb showed in sombre contrast beside the red coats of the British soldiers who held him. As they came closer and Jane caught sight of the captive's face she gave cry of recognition. "Godfrey Worthington," she gasped./ .&sl. .. . (To Be Continued)

 HEIR COSTUME.
 with which she was assisting him there lurked certain constraint, and he could well guess the cause.
 One lady, rather exceeding the age when it was fashionable to be found still unmarried in those days, tapped the colonel on the arm with her fan as he was passing the bench where she sat.
 ''Tell me, dear colonel, how many prisoners did you take to-day? A marvellous number, from all I hear, and they do say you have a most mysterious one whom you have hid in Mrs. Ellery's garret. Nay, they go farther and state that it is Jane's lover, Godfrey Worthington. Poor Jane! It would go hard with her if ill were to Ibefall Godfrey; they have been devoted to each other for so many years, though they do say her stepmother will not hear to the match. Tell me"-she dropped her voice to a confidential whisper Sis it really he you have::''
 Madam" Bessemer answered. gathering himself together, "I know naught of this Worthington of whom you speak, but I should say that the gentleman whom I hold as prisoner were more suited to be Miss Ellery's father than her lover, since he is a man fully 50 years of age, white headed and gray-bearded. His name is Pierce"
 Pierce? Gen. Pierce? That horrid old rebel? Oh, how delightful that you have caught him. He is the very one who hung the tories this sum- mer." .->.
 'The very one, madam, and he shall pay for it.''
 He left her with courteous bow, but his heart was not as light as when she had aecosted him. What was this silly woman's chatter about lover of Jane's? A Godfrey Worth ington, forsooth? Of course, there was nothing in it; and yet he must be sure.

CHAPTER VII.
A REVELATION.

Once on the road, Bessemer and his men put spurs to their horses and galloped at lively rate. Scouts had reported that the enemy was resting not far off. Bessemer, riding at the head of his mounted dragons, the precipitation streaming down his red face, his eyes sparkling with an ticipa&ion of victory, his well-knit figure held erect in the saddle with British military stiffness, looked what he was-a combination of force and fire.
 A turn in the road brought them in sight of stream. The troopers gave a shout of triumph, broken by Bessemer's ringing command. In the water were nude men, bathing and swimming and sporting; along it's edge, on the opposite side, were others, stripped to their waists, doing their family" washing; while farther up the bank, under such shade as the sparse cottonwood trees gave, were yet more. smoking or mapping Z or eating. Mos% of them had their rifles beside them and their horses Glose by, but it availed them little.
 Their cry of astonishment, chagrin and terror beat the hot air ere that of Bessemer's men died away. The naked wretches in the water were cut down before they could escape. Across the stream with eager haste, yet with perfect order, went the British, carrying all before them. In vain did Sumter start from his nap pnder one of his baggage-wagons, seize the nearest horse by it's mane, saddleless and bridleless as it was. and try to rally his soldiers. The day was lost, and though the Eng fish colopel did not capture the 'Hbri- gand,'' as ne had boasted he would, he failed in little else he set out to aD; and, indeed, few save Sumter himself escaped: not enough to war rant pursuit in that appalling heat.
 The British returned the way they had come, exulting. Ever thoughtful of his troops, though he was himself most anxious to get back to the FL lery plantation and make that his stopping place for the night, Besse- mer perceived that the heat and the sharp, hard ride since dawn had put
 
 Noting a large, comfortab table-looking house setting some distance off the road, surrounded by fine grove of trees, he asked, Gan you tell me, Edward, who lives wonder? Methin11s It is a good place for an afternoon rest. Be they rebels or tories, we shall become their uninvited guests, but I should like to learn which they are, that I may know whether to re- quest or command"
 "They are tories,' the boy an swered eagerly, ''as loyal to our king as my own family; and they will make you a gladly welcome. am sure, as my people have" Bessemer perceived that under the summer flush which already covered his cheek fhere rose richer wave pf crimson:

CHAPTER VIII.
AS THE DANCE WENT ON

He drew aside pretty Peggy Win- ston. who was the occasion of the, dance. ''Do you know aught," he, asked, "of a person by the name of Godfrey Worthington?
 Godfrey Worthington? Oh, yes, I, have known him all my life. Why,j he and Jane are sweethearts. Havej been for years, though they do say, her mother does not approve the match, and was most glad when heI espoused the rebel cause that she might have excuse for forbidding his coming here. Did you not know that you nearly captured him once? It was last May, when you stopped at Jane's for breakfast. He was conn., ing to see her then, knowing, sup pose, that her father and mother were from home and thinking it a good opportunity to press his suit. He was almost up to the house be- fore he discovered your soldiers" Bessemer's brow grew black. So given him such a turn that fine spring morning?
 "'Twas just like Godfrey" the g1rllSh VOlce went on. "' lie IS ever doing daring things. It is for that Jane loves him most I think; though he is handsome too-oh, so hand some! I have heard it whispered l often that Jane is no less a rebel at heart than he, but that she keeps it concealed to maintain peace with her stepmother and Edward"
 'In truth, dear lady" Bessemer an i swered, ''methinks report doth most grossly wrong Mistress Jane. None, I am sure, could be more loyal tha n she" But he tore himself away with
 some troublous thoughts running l through his brain.
