Notes.

The Cooperstown Farmer, August
1, says Hops are coming into view
very quiet the past week, no sales
being reported. The growing crop
has been damaged TO a considerable
extent by the high winds prevailing
since Thursday last. II has been re-
ported that the vines are infested
with lice, but we are informed that
the report is false.
The Schoharle Republican, August
1, says: Hope are coming into view
in the early yards and will soon ap-
pear In the late ones. The cool
nights which have been in evidence
lately do not favor their rapid
growth. Growers are cultlvatlng
their yards with care in the belief
that the price will yield fair re-
turn this year.
The growing crop has improved
with the fine weather we have been
having. The wind storm last week
did considerable damage. A care
full estimate places the crop fully
one-third short Of last year. The
yield promises to be of good quality,
and II present indications and re-
ports OF the crop continue. the price
will probably start for new hops
around 90 cents.

Worcester-Continuo sunshine

ly improved the outlook, and there
Is promise of very satisfactory
crop. The fly is very limited
quantity, and very little washing has
been necessary. The plantations are
in an exceptionally good state of cul-
tivation, and the only drawback has
been the retardlng of the growth by
the bad weather OF the early part OF
the season, a disadvantage which the
present conditions have done much
to mitigate.
Messrs. Manger 6 Henley, London,

appearance almost every day, and
the increase in vermin is very mark

and everything points to only a me-
dunn crop. Market continues very

Messrs. w. II. & II. lie May, Lon
ion, report: The market remains ex-
-remely firm, stocks being in such
small compass. The reports from

In spite of the mans condition. they
seemed to have cut him to the quick.
An expression of anguish. pitiful to

body trembled. After a moment he
said slowly with the same wonderful
self-control:

His ideas were so thoroughly In ac-

was now anxious to carry them out at
once as he requested, lest another op:
portunity might never occur. 1t took
but short time to arrange the details
of the will and then it and the power

CHAPTER III.
John Carney.


As Mr.. Carney was ushered into
my private Office | rose to greet him,
and stepped from behind my desk with
outstretched hand; but as he raised
his face to mine drew back in amaze
ment and disgust and motioned him
to chair with scant ceremony.
''Orunk the beast!" l muttered to
myself. as he shambled drowsily to
the seat l had indicated and dropped
into it with thickly uttered Thank
you"
He seemed to fall asleep for a mo-
ment, and | eyed him steadily for some
time before | could bring myself to
speak. And so the handsome. straight
forward, manly fellow of three years
ago had sunk to this! A sodden, de-
graded wretch, unfit to associate with
pigs in a sty, and yet the heir to a
vast estate and the sole legitimate
protector of the sweet-faced orphan at
Carney-Croft who awaited his coming
with the Impotence born of love and
hope and confiding trust! God help
the poor girl now, and God help the
accursed wreck that sat opposite me!
His heavy breathing wheeling in
and out of his throat; his listless.
stupid face flushed and notified from
the effects of his excuses; his body,
dripping with perspiration which stood
out in beads on his forehead and
glistened on his hand as it lay in the
sunlight; and his dropping. blood-shot
