THE WEATHER AND
CROP CONDITION

Cool, showery weather prevail
ed during the greater part of the
week. Sunday was the only clear
day. The maximum temperatures
ranged from e to 50 degrees, and
the minimum temperatures from
SO to 6S degrees. Although thun-
der-showers were frequent, they
were mostly light, and the rain
fall for the week was considerably
deficient. The mean temperature
averaged about 5 degrees per
day below the normal, and the
sunshine was deficient.
The weather has been favora-
BILE for crop growth, but unfavora-
BILE for farm work. Cultivation
has been delayed, as well as the
harvesting of clover and some
wheat. Corn is making fine
growth, although the nights have
been little cool. Oats are head
ing well, and are promising.
Wheat and rye is ripening fast,
but needs more sunshine; the ac-
reage is small, but the yield will
be fairly good. Potatoes are do
ing nicely, and gardens are in
very good condition. Meadows
and pastures are making rapid
growth, and stock is in good con-
dition. Millet,. cow peas and buck
wheat are doing well. Apples
continue to fall, and prospects are
for about half crop; peaches will
also make about a half crop.
There are not many pears, and
only a half crop of cherries. Some
damage was done to crops by the
hail of the 30th in some localities.
In Peasants county farm work
is delayed by wet weather; wheat
nearly ready to harvest, with
small crop; potatoes doing nicely,
but need more s,nshine; grass
thickening.
In Tyler county it has been
rainy; too wet to cultivate crops;
grass, some oats and potatoes
look well; apples falling; gardens
fairly good; stock doing well;
wheat light.
In Wetzel it has been too wet
for farm work, but corn, oats,
meadows and pastures are doing
we'll; apples falling badly; gar
den vegetables doing well; wheat
ripening.

TOWN yonder in Kentucky" Clark held
put his hand and added cordially:
"How are you, Jazon, my old friend,
and where upon earth have you come
from?
oncle Jazon pounced upon the hand
and gripped 1t in his own knotted I'm
gers, gazing delightedly up into Clark's
bronzed and laughing face.

Oncle Jazon's story, when presently
he told II, interested Clark deeply.
He and Kenton had, with wise Judg-
ment, separated on escaping from the
Indian camp. Kenton striking out for
Kentucky, while Oncle Jazon went to-
ward Kaskaskia.
The Information that Beverley would
be shot as soon as he was returned to
Hamilton caused Colonel Clark serious
worry of mind. Not only the fact that
Beverley, who had been a charming
friend and a most gallant officer was
now in such imminent danger, but the
impression given by Oncle Jazon's ac-
count that he had broken his parole
was deeply painful to the brave and
scrupulously honorable commander.
still friendship rose above regret, and
Clark resolved to push his little col
umn forward all the more rapidly,
hoping to arrive in time to prevent the
impending execution.
Next morning the march was resum-
ed at the break OF dawn, but a swollen
stream caused some hours of delay,
during which Beverley himself arrived
from the rear, a haggard and welrdly
unkempt apparltion. He had been for
three days following hard on the ar

eyes made no mistake.

Nor did he parley further on the sub
jecr. but set of at rickety trot to
meet and ass.st the tagged and excited
young man.
Clark had given Oncle Jazon his
flask, which contained a few gills OF
whisky. This was the first thing Of
fered to Beverley, who wisely took
but a swallow. Oncle JazOn was so
elated he waved his cap on high and,
uncOnsciously falling into French, yell
ed IN a piercing voice:
"Viye HhOrzh VasintOn! Vive la

Seeing Beverley reminded him OF
Alice and the flag. AS for Beverley,
the sentiment braced him and the be-
loved name brimmed his heart with
sweetness.
Clark went TO meet them as they
came in. He hugged the gaunt lieu
tenant with genuine fervor OF JOY,
while Oncle Jazon ran around them
making series of grotesque capers.
The whole command, hearing Oncle
Jazon's patriotic words, set up a wild
shouting on the spur of a general Inn
preston that Beverley came as a mes
6puger bearing glorious news from
Washingtons army in the east.
1t was a great relief TO Clark when
he found out that his favorite Iieuten-
ant had not broken his parole, but had
instead boldly resurrendered himself
declaring the obligation no longer bind
ing and notifying Hamilton OF his In
tention to so away with the purpose
OF returning and destroying him and
his command. Clark laughed heartily

CHAPTER XVIII.
A DUEL BY MOONLIGHT.


wv WHEN Hamilton, after running
" some distance, saw that he
w was gaining upon Alice and
would soon oYertake her, II
added fresh energy to his limbs. He
had quickly realized the foolishness OF
what he had done In visiting the room
OF his prisoner at so late an hour In
the night. What would his officers and
men think? To let Alice escape would
be extremely embarrassing, and 70 be
seen chasing her would give good
ground for ridicule on the part Of his
entire command Therefore his first
thought, after passing through the pos
tern and realizing fully what sort OF
predicament threatened him, was 10 re-
capture her and return her TO the
prison room in the blockhouse without
attracting attention. This now prom
ised TO be an easier task than he had
at FIRST feared. for In the moonlight,
which on account OF the dispensing
clouds was fast growing stronger, he
saw her seem 10 falter and weaken.
Certainly her flight was checked ana

rushed on. not seeing that as Alice
swerved a man intervened. Indeed.
he was within a few strides Of laying
his hand on her when he saw her make
the strange movement. II was as II,
springing suddenly aside, she had be-
come two persons instead of one. But
instantly the figures coincided again,
and In becoming taller faced about and
confronted him.
Hamilton stopped short In his tracks.
The dark figure was about ave PAGES
from him. 1t was not Alice, and a
sword flashed dimly but unmistakably
in a ray OF the moon. The motion Wis
ible was that OF an expert swordsman
placing himself firmly on his legs, with
his weapon at guard.
Alice saw the man in her path just
In time to avoid running against him.
Lightly as flying bird when II whisks
itself In a short semicircle past a tree
or a bough she sprang aside and
swung around to the rear OF him,
where she could continue her course
toward the town. But In passing she
recognized him. It was Father Beret,
and how grim he lookedl The dlscov-
cry was made In the twinlIling OF an
eye, and It's effect was instantaneous,
not only checking the force Of her
flight, but stopping her and turning
her about to gaze before she had gone
Eve PAGES farther.
Hamilton's nerve held, startled aa he
was. when he realized that an armed
man stood before him. Changing the
rapier, which he held in his right
hand, over into his left. he drew 9
small pistol from the breast of his
coat and fired. The report was sharp
and loud, but II caused no uneasinesS
or inquiry In the fort owing to the
fact that Indians invariably emptied
their guns when coming into the town.
Hamilton's aim, although hasty, was
not bad. The bullet from his weapon
cut through Father Beret's clothes be-
tween his left arm and his body, slight
ly creasing the flesh on rib. Beyond
him II struck heavily and audibly.
Alice fell limp and motionless to the
soft, wet ground, where cold puddles OF
water were splintered over with ice.
She lay pitifully crumpled, one arm
outstretched In the moonlight. Father
Beret heard the bullet hit her and
turned in time to see her stagger back

over her heart. Her face, slightly up

Father Beret uttered a short. thin
cry and moved as II to 60 TO the fallen
girl, but Just then he saw Hamllton's
sword pass over again into his right
hand and knew that there was no time
for anything but death or fight. The
good priest did not shirk what might
have made the readiest of soldiers
nervous. Hamilton was known to be a

SIGNS OF EARLY SPRING.
Some Seen by Prof. Won Joggleby from His Study Window
 Backyard Scenes,

q know when spring is at hand,' said Prof. von Joggleby, according to the New York Sun, "by the things l see in the range of backwards in view from my study window.
 "In the sheltered corner of some of these yards, where it is pro- tected from the cold winds and where it gets not only the direcr, but from the sheltering fences, the reflected rays of the advanc- ing seasons warmer sun, the grass begins to grow green while yet there may be in other parts of the yard patches of snow and ice. The eager grass responds to the first call of spring.
 And so do the dwellers in the housesto which these yards are at tached. On that same day in some of these yards there were people out raking up the winters debris; the scraps and pieces of paper, and the twigs and the sticks, left on the ground after the melting away of it's winter covering. They had sensed the approach of spring and they were cleaning up; and on the first occasion, anyway, they were moved no doubt not so much by a desire for neatness and trim ness in their several yards as by an inward prompting to get back to them once more; to mother earth.
 Git doesn't matter to me what the ground hog may say, or how many other indications may point, I always know when spring is at hand by these two signs, by the coming green of the tufts of grass in the sheltered corners of my back yard, and by the appear ance of my neighbors at work cleaning up."

AN ODD OLD CHARACTER.
Kate, the Bumboat Woman, Who Has Haunted Washington's Navy
 yard for Forty Years.


 Kate, the bumboat woman, is the title applied to an odd crea- ture who has been haunting the Washington navy yard for the past 70 years, says the Washing. ton Post. Her name is Kate Royal, and as far back and further than the oldest man connected with the yard can remember, Kate has been making her daily trips with her basket of candy, fruit and notions to sell to the sailors who visit Washington on Uncle Sam's boats. Kate has speaking acquaintance with all the great men of the army and navy. She has letters and presents from most of them, including Amirals Dewey, Sampson and Schley.
 Kate made her first visit to the yard during the civil war. She was a young woman in those days, and her bright Irish ways made her a great favorite. In later years, when age began to creep upon her, she began to form an opinion that she was an active and indispensable part of the navy. She considered herself an enlisted person and became as de- voted to the cause as the most loyal man. It is just 40 years since Kate began to consider herself a sailor.
 She has had ten red enlistment stripes, representing four years each, placed upon field of blue cloth, and this she wore to cele- brate the anniversary.
 Kate is a picturesque charac- ter. Her form is bowed beneath the weight of 70 years, and her face Is scanned with the marks of time. Only her eyes still retain the brilliancy of youth, and they sparkle with the same Irish hu. nor and good nature that gleamed from them 40 years ago.
 Kate has no regular hours of business. She is on hand with the rising sun, and the late hours of the evening find her still on duty. She gathers her little stock of trade around her under the fore castle of one of the United States boats lying up at the yard, and with the sailor boys lying around her on the floor she will tell them tales of her youth or crone Irish melodies for them until the signal for lights out is passed around. and the sailors seek their swing. ing hammocks, and Kate shoul. ders her basket of goods and wan ders home.
