at the same moment. He was, as DR..
Verify said. a man destined to capti
vate, not only by his noble bearing
and handsome face, but also by such
an indescribable charm Of manner as
opened the door of every heart to him.
Bowling to both girls. he presented
Jane with letter from her friend
Mary Cromwell, and also with small
parcel which contained some beautiful
ribbons. The pretty gift made pleas
ant introduction to conversation full
OF gay inquiries and interesting items
of social information. Matilda watched
the young soldier with eyes full of
interest, and did not refuse his escort
to her carriage; but, as she departed,
she gave Jane one look which left her
with an unhappy question in her heart,
not only for that night, but to be re-
called long after as premonitory and
prophetic.
During the preparations for the even
ing meal, and while Neville was in his
chamber removing his armor and re-
freshing his clothing. Jane also found
time to put on pretty evening gown.
Something had happened to Jane; she
was in a delicious anticipation, and
she could not keep the handsome
stranger out of her consideration.
When she heard Neville's steady, swift
step coming towards her she trembled.
Why? She did not ask herself, and
her soul did not tell her. 1t indeed
warned her, either of JOY or of sorrow,
for surely it's tremor intimated that
the newcome was to be no mere visi-
tor of passage, no neutral guest; that
perhaps, indeed, he might have en-
tered her home as a fate, or at least
as a messenger of destiny. For who
can tell, when a stranger walks into
any life, what his message may be?
1t was a wonderful evening to both
Jane and Mrs Swaffham. Neville told
over again the story of Dunbar, and
told ii in picturesque way that would
have been impossible to Dr. Verify.
It was a magnificent drama, though
there was only one actor to present
1t.
Jane did not speak; she glanced at
the young man, wondering at his rapt
face, its solemn pallor and mystic ex-
altation, and feeling his voice vibrate
through all her senses, though at
the last he had spoken half-audibly,
as people do in extremes of life or feel
Ing.
1t is In moments such as these, that
Love grows--even in moments gaze.
Jane forgot her intention of captivat-
ing, and yet none the less she accom-
plished her purpose. For when they
parted for the night he held her hand
with gentle pressure, and quick
glancing, sweetly smiling, he flashed
into her eyes admiration and interest
not to be misunderstood.
And James heart was crystal rock,
only waiting the touch Of wand. Had
she felt the mystic contact? Her
fine eyes were dropped. but there was
a faint, bewitching smile around her
lovely mouth. and there was some
thing bewildering and something be.

SO bad as reported. He strained him
self in Boston wrestling with big

aggravated matters. Consequently
do not think that Jack will be in shape
by July 4, so we will ask for month s
postponement. We expect the Butte

explain matters and everything will
no doubt be settled. We don't want to
take any chances. This will be Nun

Roots in lioa Feed.

So far as economy is concerned lit
tie can be said about roots in the ra-
ton for the hog But they have a val
ue in addition to the nutriment that is
in them. 1t takes from six to eight
pounds of roots to equal in feeding
value one pound of mixed grain. But
the feeding of roots keeps the animals
in good condition, which in turn helps
them use to advantage the grains they
receive. They prevent young and
growing pigs from getting too fat.
Hogs as well as other animals seem
to want some bulky feed and the roots
supply that need. In fact the snout
of the hog was given him to permit
him to dig into the earth after roots,
and we can well imagine that they
are therefore of unusual value to him.
There is little doubt that roots are
not fed to hogs in America as freely
as they should be-

Money in Good Fruit.

Someone has said that the money in
fruit is in good fruit and not in bad.
This is the exact tlath of the situa-
ton, whether the fruit be apples,
pears, peaches or any other kind.
Large peaches, for instance, always
bring a fancy price. That great peach
grower, R. Morrill, OF Michigan. long
ago realized this truth, and so every
year thinned the peaches in his orch
ard till he had growing only those that
would make large fine peaches. The
result has been that he has sold year
by year peaches in immense quantities
that brought fancy prices. But as vet
few growers are practicirg this SEN
sible act, having either rot the
knowledge of its value or the grit to
do it. II takes some grit to pick off
thousands of peaches at time when
the fruit is small and when it does
not seem to be overloadine the trees.
