CHAPTER XII.

All, I was very happy. I lid not
stop a moment and reflect on the ans
wer that I would send him and very
soon after I had finished reading the
long letter, Friedel trotted off toward
the city with a note from me, contain
ing the IacOnic Yes. The good fellow
looked searchingly into my face as
put the note in his rough hand.
must have looked very happy, for he
gave a quick spring into the saddle,
CHECKED with his tongue, and, half
turning to me, cried out: Now get
along old fellow, for the Herr Lieu
tenant is waiting as impatiently as a
child for the Christmas tree!'
Then in a moment he disappeared
round the the next corner.
Il went into the house, took the
child into my arms, and kissed it.
told him a long story about a mamma
who would be very fond of him. Kath-
arine said nothing, but she put out
her withered hands, and a couple Of
tears hEng on the gray lashes, the
first l had ever seen in those eyes.
What did I care for the baron or for
what the world said-he needed me,
and that was enough All other con-
siderations faded away before this
bIissfuI consciousness.
And then the next day he came,
and I rested in his arms for the sec
COnd time as his betrothed, and we
knew our love was deeper, stronger,
and more lasting than ever.
The hours were so beautiful-too
beautiful for me to describe. If ii had
been possible to deepen my happi-
ness a letter from hannah, which
Wilhelm brought me, would have &C
complished it. I opened it with a beat
ing heart; it was the answer to my
lester in which I had announced TO
her that 1 was to be Eberhardt's wife
though against her parents willard
this was distressing to me-but
could not do otherwise for loved him
so with all my heart and soul:
Dear, good Hannah; she wrote Sc
tenderly, so cordially, and sent me
her own and her husbands warmest
con gratulatiOns. She comforted me
for the anger of her parents, and
hoped that in time everything would
come right.
Do your DUTY she wrote, finally

for two and three year ODDS and as
soon as a horse begins carrying
weight for age his chances for a
grand killing are pretty we'll over.
But suppose by new method of
feeding colt could be made to gain
year and while in reality only three
years old have the growth and
strength of four? With this idea of
rapid development in view, the colt
Azote was bought.
he was taken from his mother
When he was twenty-six days old, and
started upon dry milk. He received
| one-hat pound Of powder mixed
win TWO quarts of water every two
hours and half, or eight times a
DAY, Just like baby. He drank it
from pail in about a minute and
that was all there was to his feeding
he was weighed every morning at
eight O'Clock and as he grew the
quantity of food was Increased IN
proportion to his increase in weight.
After time it was found advisable
! TO give him a certain amount of bav
not for any purpose OF nutrition but
IN order to give bulk to the highly
: concentrated food upon which he sub
sisted. He was given about ooe-haIf
as much hay as other horses receive
This is all he has ever eaten little
hay and the milk powder mixed with
/ water; never any oats or corn and
in this lies the novelty of the exneri-
ment Yet when we consider that one
pound of dry, separated milk CON
tains as much muscle-making mater-
lal as five pounds of oats or con ana
as twelve pounds of hay, it was not
so daring after all. And besides. drv
milk is digested to the extent of 9S
per cent, oats and corn to Go per
! cent and hay only 35 per cent. The
advantages of this last fact are oh
Vious, for besides receiving more
nourishment in proportion to the
| bulk it requires only twenty-six hours
for dry milk to pass through the in
testines, whereas ordinary food takes
three to four days, so that there is
much less material and horse dur
ing race carries over the course
much less dead weight. 1t is Just as

A NEW BIRD FOR COLORADO.

! Denver Positive strange birds
arrived in Denver Saturday, having
journeyed all the way from Sweden.
Now they are domiciled in Enclosure
70, at the City park. If the plans OF
their owner, w. F. Kendrick, succeed,
they will be the progenitors of new
race of birds in the Colorado noun
tains.
They are the capercailzie, pro
.nounced Caper-kel-zie, and are the
size of a small turkey. In habit they
are much like grouse and ptarmigan
They thrive best at timber line, and
subsist on pine, spruce and hemlock
and mountain berries.
Mr.. Kendrick, who is tremendously
interested in birds and animals, mas
had an ambition for some time 10
start the breeding of these bros III
Colorado because of their rare beauty.
He has already bred and -. Ated
thousands of pheasants but tn' -aper-
caiIize were hard to get. For months
he had had a commission in sweden
for two perfect birds. AS the result
of this order, the two arrived Satur-
day.
The capercailzie is almost as large
arc similar in habits to the American
wild turkey. with the advantage that
it can endure much more severe
hardships and cold weather, and VIII
live on fool such as is obtainable from
the tree tops, if necessary, when the
ground is deeply covered with snow,
Mr. Kendrick will keep the birds at
The uark until they breed, his plan
being 10 take the young to the most
suitable places in the mountains and
liberate them.

rinse and dry thoroughly. If they be-
come rusty paint the spots with
quicklime and sweet oil, let stand a
week, then wash and dry Well. 1t is
a good plan TO keep a sheet Of fine
emery paper fastened to a board, and
whenever the irons get rusty or rough,
scrub them thoroughly. They must
be kept clean by frequent washing
and be stored in a dry place in order
to get good results. Irons grow
smoother with age.
Most stains will yield to simple
treatments. If they do not, soak them
in javellewater, then rinse. Javelle
water is the most effective of all
cleanig fluids, and is cheap-a gallon
costs only a few cents. Dissolve one
pound OF sal-soda in a quart of hot
water and add it to the clear liquid
left after dissolving half a pound of
chloride of lime in two quarts of wa
ter. This must be tightly corked and
kept in dark place. Never use it
on anything but white clothes, for it
will take out color from a fabric. To
whiten clothing, put two or three
tablespoonful of the liquid into the
water in which the garments are to
be boiled.
There is one woman in Boston who
has recently celebrated her golden
anniversary as cook, and owns TO
the proud record of $4,000 pies baked
in forty years at one restaurant, be
sides scores of other dainties. If all
her pies were laid out in row they
would reach seventy miles. She has
also made 100000 doughnuts in
twenty-seVen years, and 7S8,4c0 pud-
dings.

stove, however, will make the coffee
in an ordinary coffee pot and also
heat one or two small irons.
1t is often difficult to keep plants
in the windows watered properly
without making white spots on the
window sill. If one will keep the pots
standing in small saucers, and water
them with a lOng-necked bottle, the
trouble will be obviated. A bottle of

than the little watering pots with

IN preparing bread for toast and for

A plumbing hint is to never put rock

Through the kindness of Mrs. Henry
Onderdonk of Ringgold Manor, we
have a famous old recipe from Mount
Vernon for Rich Black Cake. This
recipe was an inheritance to Mrs.
Onderdonk from her great grand
mother, Mrs. Hazelhurst, of Philadel-
phia, to whom it was given by Mrs.
Washington herself. Mrs. Washing
ton and Mrs. Hazelhurst were de-
voted friends, and, after the death of
General and Mrs. Washington, Mrs
Lawrence Lewis gave to Mrs. Hazel
grandmother, a china sugarbowl which
had been used daily at Mount Vernon
by General and Mrs. Washington
And not less precious to her is the
little recipe from Mount Vernon.
This recipe is said to have been used
at the wedding of Mrs. Washington S
granddaughter, Nellie Custis, to Major
Lawrence Lewis, at Mount Vernon on
February %, 1899. Here is the re-
cipe:
To Make Rich Black Cake
Take twenty eggs; divide the whites
from the yolks, and beat the whites
to froth; then work two pounds of
butter to a cream, put the whites of
eggs to it, a spoonful at a time, until
we'll mixed. Then put two pounds of
sugar, finely powdered, in it in the
same manner Then add the yolks
of eggs, well beaten, two and One-half
pounds of -four, and five pounds of
fruit. Add to this one-fourth ounce
of mace, a nutmeg, one-half pint of
wine, and some French brandy. Five
and One-quarter hours will bake it.
Mrs. Washington.
Mount Vernon.
Dreamed chicken is another recipe:
One pound cold chicken or turkey,
cut as for salad; two hard boiled eggs,
two ounces butter rubbed in two
Tablespoonful of flour. Cover the
chicken with milk, say, one pint,
and let it get hot. Stir in the butter
and flour, salt, red and black pep
per, and one glass of sherry. When
ready to serve stir in the eggs chopped
fine and serve at once, very hot.
The proper starching of clothes
adds much to their good appearance
when irOned. Starch which is not
properly cooked sticks to the irons
and makes brown marks on your
clothes, whatever you do. The best
plan IS to mix common lump starch
with small quantity of cold water
until it arrives at a creamy consist
ency, and is thoroughly sOftened and
smooth Then pour on boiling water
until it is sufficiently thicened, and
if a little oil or wax is added the
clothes will iron easily, for it prevents
sticking. Some housekeepers use
kerosene. The proportions for cooked
starch are one part of starch to eight
of boiling water if much stiffness is
required, and for thin starch, one
part to sixteen. After the starch is
cooked, rub it thoroughly into the
garment.
No matter how perfect the starch
is your irons must be in good condi-
ton. Once in a while rub them with
sweet oil and let them stand a few
days to allow the grease to strike in.
Afterward wash them in soapsuds,

Men are thy flock. o Lord am thy sheep,
And all thy ways for me are right and wise,
Worthy thy name of Shepherd good and true.
No fear of want, with thee my steps to guide.
Welcome the days long hours, as here and

Trustful follow thee; or soon or late

Or by the quiet spring. refreshed and glad.
No dread of darkness while thou leadest on.
Thy heavy rod can put to fight my foes;
Thy staff with friendly touch controls my
way.
Let me but know thee near, and hear thy
voice,
And thou my comfort art whate'er the night.
Yet more than this 4-fain would be, my Lord;
For sheep are dumb, and cannot talk with
thee
But little can they know, but little love.
Thou art my Host O Lord and l thy est
feast thou dost prepare. while still watch
The strength that holds my enemies at bay,
The goodness that provides the oil and wine
The grace that welcomes to the glad repast
How strange thy grace to me, so poor and

My love is thine as long as thou dost live;
