There is at this late date no doubt
that General Young was acting as an
officer of the Confederate army at the
time of the st. Adams raid and that
the raid was an act of war. There is
no doubt that General Young is recog.
nized by the veterans of the Confeder-
ate army themselves as a comrade of
distinction because they have made
him the department commander of the
Confederate Veterans of the State of
Kentucky. He is recognized every
where he is known as a gentleman Of
culture, of exceptional ability as a
lawyer, of some pretensions as local
historian, as an eloquent citizen. All

How Paris Market Gardeners Manufac-
ture a Suitable Climate.
The market gardeners around Paris do
not dream Of waiting for spring before
they raise spring vegetables. AS one man
put it, they move the climate of Monte
Carlo to the suburbs of Paris.
This they do at enormous expense in
money and in time. The gardens when
ever possible are placed on land with a
slope to the south and are well protected
by walls on the north and east, walls
built to reflect light as well as to give
protection from the northeast winds
The ground is practically covered with
glass, not as in a greenhouse but by
glass frames in the open, three light
frames Of uniform size, twelve feet by
four and half; and also by glass bells.
These two, are of a uniform size about
the shape Of a chapel bell, a little less
than IL inches in diameter and from IA
TO 10 inches high. The French call them
cl0ches. You may often see over a thou.
sand frames and over 10000 glass bells
in one two-acre plot in the suburbs Of
Paris.

CHAPTER Confined.

But her spirits tagged again present
She was conscious that she did not
bring to the preparations of her evening
meal much of the brisk cheerfulness
which had attended the getting of her
breakfast in the morning. The absolute
silence of the cottage oppressed her, she
Aboucht: she missed old Hannah's hustle.
Syben all was made absolutely neat and
clean again. and she went into her sit
ting room, taking her usual seat, she
found herself staring at the ring once
more. 1t seemed fetter somehow, a
weight upon her hand. With a sudden
impulsive movement she pulled it off,
and thrust it into drawer in her desk.
She turned to her work, and it soon
absorbed her The gradual darkening
of the room stopped her, and she rose to
light her lamp, only then becoming aware
that heavy rain was beating upon the
small windows. AS she turned to re-
sume her seat she heard the click of her
garden gate and q step upon the path
way.
The color flushed into her face with
sheer surprise, as she stood listening.
There certainly was step upon the
path-heavy, dragging, uncertain, STUN
bling, very odd step. Marcus rose o
his feet with low growl. The step
ceased. Wondering, but not in the least
alarmed, Verona went quickly to the
door and threw it open.
In the little porch, gripping the Intel
as if to support himself, a man stood
facing her.
