AS the national crusade against the
house fly is now in progress. supplant-
ing temporarily the international issue
against mosquitoes and rats, Prof.
Underwood of Massachusetts declares
that one fly killed this month may pre-
vent the existence of 100000 by
midsummer. Such is the prolific ma
ture of the common fly. Such, too,
is the ignorance of the past that when
n Roman emperor was found killing
flies as habit he was not hailed as
a benefactor. but was finally dethroned
as too trivial to be tolerable as a
Roman despot Still it appears in the
light of history as whole that this
is a good time to invest as much as
ten cents in first installment of fly
paper.

CHAPTER XIX.
The Escape.

The little county seat awoke in the
morning to a strange sight. The
storm had not abated. The wind was
stih blowing at blizzard rate OFF the
northwest hills, and fine, icy snow was
swirling SO thickly through the cold
air that vision was INSTRUCTED. Build
ing were distinguishable only as shad-
ows showing family through heavy
white veil. The thermometer had gone
many degrees below the zero mark. 1t
was steadily growing colder. The old
err inhabitants said it would surely
break the record the coming night.
An immense fire had been built in
the sitting-room. Thither Mary and
Louise repaired. Here they were
joined by Dale. Langford and Gordon.
You should be out at the ranch
looking after your poor cattle, Mr..
Langford," said Mary, smilingly. She
could be light-hearted now-since lit
tie secret had been whispered to her
last night at tea party where no
tea had been drunk. Langford had
gravitated toward her as naturally
as steel to a magnet. He shrugged his
big shoulders and laughed little.
THE Scribe will do everything that
can be done. Honest, now, did you
without me?"
But there can be no trial to-day
why not?"

wind But Louise held the little tin
kettle firmly.
Men knew of Richard Gordon that
secret workings OF secret clan had
him on their prescription list. Some
one had at last found this unwearied
and doggedly persistent young fellow
in the way. In the way, he was a
menace, a danger. He must be re-
moved from out the way. He could
not be bought from 1.-THE should be
warned from it. So now his home

friends and cronies like Langford-
was burning that he might be warned.
Could any one say. Jesse Black has
done this thing?" Would he not bring
down proof of guilt by retaliation
struck too soon? 1t would seem as II
he were anticipating an unfavorable
verdict. So men reasoned. And even
then they did not arise to stamp out
the evil that had endured and Rugged
itself and spit out corruption in the
cattle country. That was reserved for
another.
They talked of match thrown
down at the courthouse by tramp,
likely-when 1t was past midnight,
when the fire broke out with the wind
a piercing gale, and when no vagrant

home with the exception of the people
from across the river. There were
enough staying in the town to fill the
room to its utmost limits. Standing
room was at a premium. The entry
was crowded. Men not able to get in

Some varieties seem to be very little
subject to this damage, although
sprayed at the same time, with the
same materials, and in the same way
as the more tender kinds: but Bald
win and Ben Davis are both very sus-
ceptible to russeting. If such heavy
spraying can be recommended as de-
sirable. 1t is quite possible that bet
ter results will be secured by omit
ting the Bordeaux from the first
spraying after bloom. using only the
arsenate of lead and milk of lime at
that time. This adjustment would
probably nccessltate an application OF
bordeaux before blooming as well as
its addition to the mixtures for the
second and third treatments after
blooming,

There is one division of the United

The object of this Office is to show
the people how to construct roads in
the proper way. and to this end OBJ

the people learn how to spend road

Point d'alencon lace is returning to
favor for sheer hangings in boudoirs.
1t is very light and delicate and in
good patterns and quality it is very
charming indeed. The difficulty with
lace curtains of every sort seems to be
that they appeal so directly to the
vulgar sense of the luxurious that
they are. very sure to be copied in
exceedingly coarse material. This
makes even the finer qualities very
undesirable, and so the fine muslin
curtains which seem not to appeal at
AL to coarser taste have an advantage
over those of lace.
