CHAPTER TX.

The weather, which rad been mild and
clear since the storm. nov changed with
the s~uddenness Of an American climate.
Toward evening the cold blasts poured
down from the mountains. and aurries
OF snow plainly indicated that the month
OF November had arrived. Frances had
stood at the window OF her own apart
n1ent, watching the slow progress Of the
Birch funeral procession. with a medlan-
clioly that was too deep to be excited by
The spectacle. There was something in
the sad Office that was in unison with
her feelings. A few Of the southern
dra goons. who were patrollin- the passes
which led to the encafnpment OF the
corps, could be distinguished at . dis
lance on the heights. bending to their
poinmels ns they faced the keen air.
Frances witnessed the disappearance
Of the wooden tenement of the deceased.
as it was slowly lowered from the light OF
day and the sight added TO the chilling
WEAKNESS OF the view. Captain Single
ton was sleeping under the care of his
own man, while his sister had been per-
sunded TO take possession Of her W
room, for the purpose Of obtaining the re-
pose OF which her last nights journeying
had robbed her. The apartment of Miss
Singleton communicated with the room
occupied by the sisters, through q private
door. and the surprised girl saw her
whom she bad thought to be sleeping. not
only awake, but employed in a manner
that banished oil probability of present
repose. The black tresses were loosencd,
and fell in profusion over her shoulders
and bosom. imparting a slight degree OF
wildness to her c~ountenance; the chilling
white of her complexion was strongly con-
trasted with eyes of the deepest black.
that were fixed in rooted attention on q
picture she held in her hand. Frances
hardly breathed, as she was enabled to see
that it was the figure of a man in the
well-known dress of the Southern horse !;
but she instinctively laid her hand on her
heart to quell its throbbinss. as she
thought she recognized the lineaments
Frances felt she was improperly pryins
into the sacred privacy Of another; but
her emotions were too powerful TO permit
her 10 speak. Isabella was too much
engrossed by her own feelings to discover
the trembling figure OF the witness to her
actions. aud she pressed the inanimate i'm
age to her lips with enthusiasm
The fury of the wind whistled round
the angles of the building. and she rose
aud moved to . window. Her figure was
now hid from the view Of Frances, who
was about to rise and approach her guest,
when tones of a thrilling melody chained
her ia breathless silence TO the spot.

A bulletin Of the South Carolina
Station calls attention TO the fact
that, while sweet potatoes may be pro-
duced in abundance in the South at
small cost, and furnish a cheap and
wholesome food that Is nutritious and
palatable, not only for a but for
domestic animals, they have fallen far
short Of the measure Of success as a
market crop. because ~ they are too
bulky to pay for extended Transports
tion. and (2) they annot stand rough
handling and exposure to freezing
weather.
The station. therefore, undertook to
fnd a method by which the potatoes
might be dried, with an improvement
Of the keeping quality and no loss Of
edible quality. After numerous ex-
periInents 1t believes that these results
mey be obtained by boiling the pota-
toes In an open kettle and drying in q
fruit evaporation. The method follow

cannery- several bushels Of green pota-
toes were lowered in an iron basket

one to two pounds required one hour

Treatment OF Domestic Animals.
Few things about the farm need
reformation Sc much as the treatment
given the faithful, helpless farm ami
mails. Until steam and electricity
come into common use the farm horse
will ever be an Indispensable factor in
agricultural production. The farmer
with n pillow without the horse would
be In as bad a fix as to have the horse
without the pillow. Aud when we con-
slider the treatment of the faithful and
Indispensable farm horse receives from
20 large a number that are absolutely
dependent upon his work-how he Is
overworked and underfed-it is enough
to make humanity weep.
The Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals has accomplished
a great good In many of the large cit
les by protecting the lame and the
halt" and the half-starved and unmer-
cifully overwhelmed beasts Of burden
that are being cruelty imposed upon;
but this great work of humanity
should not be permitted to stop at
what has been done, but extended to
every nook and corner Of the CONT
nent where work animals of any kind
are employed. Every State Legisla-
ture and town and city council should
enact stringent laws with severe pen
alties and have officers promptly en-
force them in every instance. where
violated. OF overworking, undertaking
and oy%ertaxing any horse, mule or OK
In the land.
1t should be the duty of every State,
county and municipal officer to enforce
these laws under heavy penalty for ne
glecting the same. Any man who
works an animal without giving 1t
proper feed and humane treatment de-
serves punishment commensurate with
the offense. The law should give am
pie protection TO all dumb animals
from inhuman treatment Of brutal
owners.

Believe it or not" wrote Ruskin
In his Arrangement of the Age,
there has not been so low a level

since they grew to be male and

have been made from"
Ruskin was writing of the fol-

See this woman's picture. She

She has pointed skewer through

els and human teeth, and she has
dyned her finger nails black.
Overdrawn, you say. Nobody
does such things.
