fruit trees the best. They are the most
hardy aud prolific bearers. Mr.. Eastman
carefully prunes his orchard, and sprays
the trees two or three times during the
season, and the crop more than pays for
this extra work in q larger, more perfect

Had James valney, we'll dressed and
intelligent appearing tramp, not been so
conscientious be probably would not have
been in states prison at Windsor to serve
an eight months sentence at hard labor.
Nalney was sentenced to not more than a
year or less than six months for destroy
ing by fire large barn on the Loren
Mattison farm in Arlington. The fire oc-
Cured on the night Of Nov. % and the
people living in the vicinity had not the
slightest mixing as to the origin. The

The young pastor OF the Methodist
church in Bennington, Rev. William w.
Brunk, has accomplished q feat Of debt
lifting rarely equaled in Vermont. Mr..

Hedding Methodist church Of Troy, N.
Y, was assigned last April to lift the So
ciety out OF financial difficulties and to
complete the unfinished structure, which
Is the finest edifice in Vermont Of the
Methodist denomination. When Mr..
Brunk took charge, the society was strug-
Cling with $780, 900 debt, and, rs there
had been a large amount OF money raised
previously, there seemed no way to raise
more. Mr.. Brunk had not been in BEN
ninRton tour days before he raised $1,000.
The debt has now all been paid and the
edihce has been completed. Bishop JOS
eph Berry OF Buffalo, N. Y, has conferred
the honorary degree OF d. D., upon Mr..
Brunk for his zeal and money raising
ability. II il said that several churches
now heavily in debt are reaching for him
as prospective pastor.

A Poultry Food Of Genuine Merit.

The manufacturer OF any stock food
must be attentive to all the details of its
preparation, being certain that only first
class materials enter into It's composition.
1t is claimed for "Page's Perfected Poul-
try Foodn that there doesn't enter into
its composition a single particle Of the
ordinary meat meal which lie the basis Of
so many poultry foods. The nearest APP
proach to 1t is what is known as tallow
scraps or cracklings, and every grand
mother who has lived on the farm and
taken care OF chickens knows there is
nothing better to make hens lay than
tallow scraps, and "Page's Perfected
Poultry Food" contains a considerable
percentage Of this ingredient.
II you want to know more about this
food and the best ways Of using it write
to c. s. Page, Hyde Park, VT, for his
booklet, profitable Poultry" It will
be sent free, postpaid, to anyone mention
ing this paper.

CHAPTER XIV.
Fate Opens q New Account With
Quaintance-At the Night and

Day Bank.
On a crisp winters afternoon
the gardens of Madison square
were all bedecked in white, as IL
for a bridal. Frost and snow
and sunshine together had turn
ed the drah park into fairyland,
or so thought Quaintance, at any
rate, as he stepped out into the
pillared porch of the Fifth ave-
nue. hotel, his wife on his arm.
They paused for a moment to
look thankfully out at the scene
there, and then, crossing Broad
way carefully, turned up Fifth
avenue, in haste because of the
cold.
Only an hour ago they had
stepped ashore from the steamer
which had brought them over
from France, and, even on the
voyage across they had not, some
how. succeeded in shaking off the
remembrance of all they had un-
dergone there. But now, at last,
they could realize that their trou-
bles were at an end, could turn
their backs on that nightmare
past.
The murder of the Due des
Reeves had made a nine days SEN
sation in Paris. The trial, on that
capital charge, of Seager and Ar
endsen, provided the papers with
scare-headlines for a full month,
but, when all the formalities of
the law had ben fulfilled and the
two sent to the galleys to expiate
there the crime they had not
contemplated, the public drew
