A Prehistoric Cemetery.

Workmen terracing King hill, an old
landmark of northwestern Missouri,
which is to be converted into a resi-
dence suburb Of st. Joseph, have I'M
earthed a prehistoric cemetery. The
remains Of race of dwarfs, not allied
with any tribe known to have inhab-
tied this territory, and unaccounted for
by Indian legendary, repose on the
summit of King hill. A feature re-
markable in itself and especially
marked in connection with the dwarf
ish remnants of prehistoric man found
in this summit is the discovery of
human bones, evidently those of a
giant, probably more than seven feet
tall and big boned. Low, fiat heads,
with small intelligence and marked
animal propensities, characterized this
people. Heavy jaws and strong, we'll
preserved teeth carry the records of
their lives forward. Brutes, human
but inhumane, self-reliant, they are
savages of lower order than any we
know today. Yet they honored their
dead. Shells such as are found on the
banks of many inland streams, plen-
tiful on the sandbars of the Missouri,
overlooked by King hill, and stones Of
unusual hues, worthless in the COM
mercial marts of today, the playthings
Of children, were deposited in the
graves-Chicago Record.

CHAPTER III.
An Unexpected Visitor.

AL OueApcCLcu VlSILOl.
It was the afternoon OF the same
day. The sun was lower in the west,
but the heat had not yet lessened, and
all the blinds in the spacious mansion
of Springfield were closed. The ex-
tensive estate had, as yet, been spared
the devastation of war. It was in the
immediate vicinity of one of the prin-
cipal neutrality-suspicious. in the South
and owed it to this circumstance alone
that, for the present at least, it could
afford it's inmates absolute safety.
A pleasant dusk pervaded the sit
ting-room, whose doors opened upon
the wide terrace. The glazing sunlight
in the garden outside could not find
it's way into the apartment, whose
doorways were protected by blinds and
curtains; and a little fountain, whose
jet rose amid a circle of tropical
plants, diffused it's cool, glittering
drops through the sultry atmosphere.
A young girl Of perhaps eighteen
was half reclining in a rocking chair
Her little head with it's wealth of dark
hair was flung YEARLY back, her eyes
were closed, and the long black lashes
formed a sharp contrast to the pretty
but somewhat pallid face. Her. thin

Sub.Earth Ducts and Frost.

The Ontario Agricultural College
has been having trouble with it's sub
earth duct. This was laid six feet
below the surface of the ground, and.
because OF the depth, was supposed
to be well protected from frost. The
duct itself consisted of six six-inch
rows of drain tiles. AS the duct failed
to work during the latter part of the
past winter it was dug IN tn see
what was the matter. It was found
that most of the tile was intact. but
that few lengths near the inlet had
been pulverized by the frost. Sewer
pipe was placed in the oriflce instead
of the drain tile and the sub.earth
duct Is now again in working order
For the ventilation of stables, Profess
sor Dean advises the use of sewer
pipe instead of drain pipe. The sub-
earth duct at the college referred to
is for the control of the temperature

ings is becoming quite popular in
Canada and some parts of the United
States. The, depth of six feet below
the surface. however, would appear tn
be too small to get the best results. "a

perature is seldom found nearer the
surface than fifteen to eighteen feet
But even six feet will give tempera-

rich lace, harmonized with the costly
furniture of the room. In the dreamy
twilight, the dainty white-robed figure
was as charming as one of the fragrant
blossoms nodding over the edge of the
fountain.
One of the doors leading into the in
terror of the house was softly opened,
and an old negro appeared on the
threshold.
Noiselessly closing it again, he eau
tiously approached his young mistress.
but she started from her light slumber
and sat erect.
What is it, Ralph? Does my father
want me-"
mo, miss, master is still asleep; but
Mr.. Harrison has come back and asks
if he can see Miss Florence"
"Edward?" The young lady hesi-
tated moment, then, sinking into her
former attitude, she said family: LET
him come"
Ralph withdrew; and directly after,
young man, f1ne-looking, but with
an arrogant, self-conscious manner,
entered the room.
"How is my uncle?" he asked quick
ly What I heard from the servants
outside did not sound very consoling.
! Is he worse?"
II fear so,' replied Florence, softly.
HE had bad night, and the in
creased weakness is alarming He fell
asleep an hour ago, and used the op-
portunity to get little rest.''
Edward Harrison drew up a. chair
and sat down.
Excuse me if disturb you. I have
just come from the city, My friend,
Captain Wilson, accompanied me; and
the justice of the peace, with the other
witnesses, will arrive at the appointed
time. All the preparations are made,
so that the wedding can take place this
evening""
A slight tremor ran through the
young girls frame, and there was a
tone of fear in her voice as she asked:

I'VE will hope so; but another and
graver peril threatens you there: If
you are still regarded as the son of

William started as if an insult had
been hurled in his face
Colonel, l am an honorable man"

are young and passionately in love.

A POTATO BUD Army,

From the Farmers Review: On the
first week in August there was met
with in the road an army of potato
bugs as thick as grasshoppers. The
road was full for ten rods so that they
just covered the ground. We do not
know where they were going, but they
were travelling south. There were
thousands Of them in the draw. They
have never been heard of since, and
no unusual damage to potatoes has
been reported.-A. S. Neff, Rlchland

BYE WERNER

CHAPTER II.
The young officer seemed to have
expected this refusal. He advanced a
step nearer and dropped the strictly
formal tone used heretofore
Colonel the interview I seek at
Springfield is of infinite Importance to
me. l will be perfectly frank with
you. I suppose you know the relation
in which I stand to Mr.. Iarrison's
family"
The wealthy owner of the neighbour
ing plantation, our most bitter enemy.
Yes, I have heard of it. 1t was said
that you were engaged to his daugh-
ter, and at the outbreak of the war
made a sacrifice for your convictions -
Il did not make it; it was forced
upon me- Mr.. Harrison broke my en-
gagement to his daughter, without per-
hitting me even an explanation. The
outbreak of hostilities prevented my
fastening to my fiancee. I was forced
to join my regiment. The letters I
sent remained unanswered. I do not
even know whether they reached her
hands. For months I suffered the tor
lures of uncertainty. This morning an
accident revealed that Miss Harrison,
who, I supposed, had long since fed
to some place of safety, was still in
Springfield. 1t is the last, the only pos
sibility of obtaining any certainty I
beseech you to grant it,
The colonel's eyes rested with evil
dent sympathy on the young man, who
was indeed his favorite, and whose
1n-repressed emotion showed how
keenly he suffered from this state Of
uncertainty: but he shook his head
Even should I grant you the leave
of absence, and you reach the planta-
ton unharmed, who will guarantee
that Harrison, after what has occurred,
will not see in you merely an officer in
the enemy's service and deliver you
up?"
Deliver me up?" cried William,
