He never walks for exercise,

Father Beret was not only well nigh
drowned, but seriously hurt. He lay
for a week on a bed in NJ. Roussillon's
house before he could sit up. Alice
hung over him night and day. scarcely
sleeping or eating until he was past all
danger. AS for Beverley, he shook on
all the effects of his struggle in a little
while. Next day he was out, as well
and strong as ever, busy with the
affairs Of his Office. Nor was he less
happy on account of what the little ad-
venture had cast into his experience.
1t is good to feel that one has done an
unselfish deed, and no young mans
heart repels the freshness of what
comes to him when beautiful girl
first enters his life.
Naturally enough, Alice had some
thoughts Of Beverley while she was so
attentively caring for Father Beret.
She had never before seen man like
him. nor had she read Of one. Beverley

Value of The Apple Crop.

Apples are among the Important agr-
cultural products of the United States.
The average annual yield in this country
is about 176, 600, 900 bushels. OF course
the total varies from time to time. The
value of the apple crop has come to be
recognized of late and especial care has
been directed to the raising of the best
varieties. The average yearly output OF
New York state is 24,l1l 900 bushels.
Pennsylvania comes next with "a, ,oeo, 600
bushels, while Ohio and other Middle
Western states are large growers. The
expectation of apples has also become a
considerable trade. In good years we
sell abroad not less than 100000 bush
els. The foreign appetite for American
apples is growing, as they are recogniz-
ed as most healthful and appetizlng
articles of food. They have a quality
and relish not found in any product OF
foreign lands. There was time when
apples for the use of the household OF
Queen Victoria were imported directly
from the farm of an American producer.

At the blockhouse, awaiting the mo-
ment when the symbol of freedom
should rise like a star over old VIM
cennes, the crowd had picturesquely
broken into scattered groups. Alice en-
tered through rent in the stockade, as
that happened to be shorter route
than through the gate, and appeared
suddenly almost in their midst.
1t was happy surprise, pretty and
catching spectacular apparition OF Il
sort to be thoroughly appreciated by
the lively French fancy of the audi
ence. The men caught the girls spirit,
or It caught them. and they made haste
to be noisy.

the expression of his countenance was
absolutely repulsive-cold, hard, beast

He did not speak again. but turned
quickly and. STOPPING low, disappeared
like great brownish red serpent In
the high grass, which scarcely stirred
as he moved through 1t.
Somehow that day made itself
strangely memorable to Alice. She had
been accustomed to stirring scenes and
sudden changes of conditions, but this
was the first time that she had ever

picturesque and rudely dramatic reap
pearance affected her Imagination with
an indescribable force. Moreover, the
pathetic situation in the love affair be-
tween Rene and Adrienne had taken
hold of her conscience with disturbing
grip. But the shadowy sense of i'm
pending events, of which she could
form no idea, was behind 1t all. She
had not heard of Brandywine or Bun
ker Hill or Lexington or Concord, but
something like watt Of their signifi-

great change was coming into her idyl-

"a good suggestion" assented Father
Gibault. "Let us organize at once"
Immediately the word was passed
that there would be meeting at the
fort that evening for the purpose OF
choosing u garrison and commander.
Everybody went promptly at the hour
set. NJ. Roussillon was elected captain
by acclamation, with Rene de Ronville
as his lieutenant. 1t was observed that
Oncle Jazon had resumed his dignity

was welcomed by the villagers and at

NJ. Roussillon was absent when Cap

de Ronville, nominally in command OF
the fort, but actually enjoying some ex

prairie, could not be present to deliver
up the post, and as there was no garri'
