walls had been torn oown all the length of the new castle and replaced by the walls of the castle itself.
 The pavement of the inner court the Court of Charles the Bold. as the old guidebooks of the country call IL stilI- was a little higher than that of the outer court. One could penetrate into the old castle only designated by Fi by . little door. K. The old in- habitants of the country never spoke of it except as the square tower. to distinguish it from the round tower. or the Tower of Charles the Bold, as they sometimes called the latter. A parapet similar to the one which closed in the outer court was built be tween the towers B~. F and l.. closing the inner court as firmly as the outer.
 We have seen that the round tower had been in years past torn down to half it's former height.
 This tower had a number of tiny chambers above and an immense octa- gon chamber below. One descended into this chamber by a steep and mar row stairway. The ceiling of the oc- tagon room was supported by four great cylindrical pillars. and from its walls opened three enormous embra- sures for three enormous cannons. It was of this room that Mime. Edith had wished to make dining room The great windows had been enlarged and made square. although they were stiu guarded by barriers of iron- This tower lshown on the map at LI was l, the spot chosen by Mime.

He generally returned from these expedi- lions with 6 respectable collection of tibias and femurs and also with . rich display of skins of wild beasts. which showed that the old sa-ant knew how to use more modern arms than the stone ax and bow and arrow.
 All these details were given me later by Arthur Rance himself. He had been one of "Oid Bob's" pupils. but had not seer him in many years until he made the acquaintance of Miss Edith.
 Miss Edith. upon the occasion when Arthur Rance had been presented to her. had seemed somewhat more mel ancholy than she usually was. because she had received disquieting news of her uncle. The latter for four years back had been absent in Patagonia- Tn his last letter he had told his niece that he was i'll and that he feared that he should not live to see her again. Three months later. however. having received another Ietter. she suddenly resolved to go all alone to South Amer ica and join her uncle. During those three months important events had stranspired. Miss Edith had been touched by the remorse of Arthur Rance. and when Miss Prescott de- parted for Patagonia no one was as- tonished to find that '-Oid Bob's" old pupil was going to accompany her. If the engagement was not officially an- nounced, 1t was because the pair pre- ferred to wait for the consent of the geologist. Miss Edith and Arthur Rance were met at St. Louis by the young woman's uncle. Rance. who had not seen him in years. declared to him that he had grown younger. When his niece informed him of her engage meut the uncle manifested great de- light. The three returned. to Philadel- phia for the wedding.

 The gong had sounded for dinner. and Arthur Rance was coming to look for us. so we repaired to "la Louve. in the lower hall of which we were to dine. When we were all assembled Mime. Edith asked whether any 1of gS had noticed a little boat which had made the circle of the fortress and In which man was standing erect. The mans strange attitude had struck her. she said. then added:

ANOTHER FINE COW
IN MARIETTA
Gives Five Gallons of Milk
Per Day, of Rich
Quality.

We have had occasion to mention the
fine Jersey cows of Mr.. J. d Northcutt
and Mr.. j. W. Petty, giving five gallons
of milk per day each. This has devel-
oped the fact that several of our citi-
zens are fortunate owners of COWS of
equal capacity as milk producers. We
met Mrs. D. &. Cole at the post-office
Thursday, and she incidentally re-
marked: II see in the Journal where
you speak of fiDe cows, have Jersey
cow that gives five gallons of milk per
day, which yielded nine pounds of but
ter in six days" The editor remarked,
"Such a splendid COW as that is worthy
of mention in the Journal" Mrs.
Cole naturally feels proud of the owner
ship of such fine mixer and butter
producer, and 80 would we, if we owned
her.
Mr.. Frank Lumpkin says he has q
cow that gives four gallons of milk per
day, which yields pa pounds Of butter
per day. For richness and quantity of
butter, Mr.. Lumpkin's COW takes the
blue ribbon.

BEES AND SQUIRRELS
DWELL TOGETHER
Peacefully and Happily i'm
the Same Tree i'm
Marietta.

Mr.. B. A. Osborn, night policeman,
told us the other day of a discovery he
made at his home place. on Powder
Springs street, in this city. He has q
beautiful grove of trees about his resi-
dence and property, and he says that in
the top of one of the trees is a squir-
rel's nest, and several young squirrels
have been born there this spring, which,
together with the parent squirrels, can
be seen playing about on the limbs of
the trees, while further down the tree
is knot hole that gives entrance to
the hollow tree. A swarm of bees have
taken up their abode inside the tree
and are indust-iously at work. Thus
| the same tree furnishes home for the
frisky squirrels and the busy bees, all
peacefully disposed.
Mr.. Osborn says in the northeast cor
ner of the Confederate cemetery there
is post oak tree, and at the bottom OF
the tree is rabbit hole, and for three
years bees have occupied the interior
OF that tree, going in and out the rab.
bit hole. There is no telling of the
amount of honey stored in that tree.

One Topeka man has a complaint
against the street car facilities Of To-
peka- This gentleman who travels con-
siderably over the Santa Fe, fire.
quently finds it necessary to arrive
in Topeka on Santa Fe train No. II,
which reaches Topeka at 11:45 p. m.
He finds it the invariable rule that he
is not able to reach his home by
street car line. There is sometimes one
car reaching the depot after this time,
but the car merely takes him to the
barn. It is impossible to make q
transfer after this train comes in.
Oftentimes there are no hacks or 9TH
er methods of conveyance on hand.
Sometimes he reaches Topeka On San
ia Fe train No. lis which reaches To-
peka shortly after midnight. This
train frequently brings 80 or 40 late
arrivals from Kansas City. and many
are compelled to walk to their homes.
This gentleman is in favor of addi-4
tional late hour service by which the
late corners can reach the different
parts of the city.
