rT HAT UlM Foster1 was different
I from and more cuarmiug man au
-- the rest of her sex might bave
been proved from any of the fifteen
men to whom she bad been engaged In
two yearn since she bad come back
from school, beginning with Cadet
Terrls and eudlng with Cady,
That Captain Foster was exactly like
all the rest of mankind, and Uttlo de
served tbe blessing be bad In bis
daughter, was manifested by bis draw-
lug from his pocket a letter, and say
ing as ho gave It to her, "By the by,
Kitty this came for you yesterday
while you were riding with Cady, and
I forgot to give It to you
Miss Foster looked at the postmark
and at the almost feralnlue chlrogra-
phy, and knew that tbe letter was from
Fort Bowie, and from Glocester. She
laid It beside her plate and Bnlsbed
her breakfast. Afterward she took It
op to her owa room and read It. Then
she sat with folded bauds and looked,
unseeing, at tbe photographs of the
fifteen upon the wall before ber. She
was very white.
Tbe most astute woman will fre
quently stake everything and play all
ber game upon honor In man. When
that chances to fall, ber calculations
are set at naught, and tbe bottom falls
out of ber n ilverse.
And Glocester's honor had tailed. He
wrote Kitty read It again "So you
tell me yoa are engaged to Cady. That
means little to you. But It may mean
much to him. Therefore, to prevent
his being made the fool that I havs
been, I bave taken the liberty of send
ing blm by this mall the letters you
bare written to me within the last
month four In number that be may
know with what manner of woman he
baa to deal."
Now, fourteen times before. Miss
Foster had not been In earnest But
this time she was. Unfortunately, tbe
fact that she cared greatly for Cady
had not prevented ber from writing to
Glocester more affectionately than pru
dently, in order to keep him t'other
dear charmer who was " away upon
ber string, so long as It would bold blm
without snapping. And tbe letters.
sent while she waa actually engaged
.'o Cady, were going to fall Into bis
bauds. It was a desperate situation.
But, for all ber blue eyes, and curls,
and bewildering ways. Miss Foster was
the woman to meet It.
After a time she rose to her feet and
set ber Hps. It la a peculiarity of
Cupld's-bow lips that tbey can set,
upon occasions. She knew that Cady
bad not yet received those letters. And
she determined that be never should.
She would rob the stage.
Guard-mounting was just over, and
tbe stage was not due until noon. Kitty
set s big hat s-ttlting upon ber curls
and walked down to tbe postofflce.
Fate, with ber pa-'tlallty for the brave
and fair, willed that tbe postmaster
should have left his desk. Miss Fos
ter pushed open the gate snd went be
hind the rail. Tbe keys to tbe mall-
bag hung upon their book. She put
them in her pocket When the post
master came back she was placidly
marking bis clean blotter with the let
ter stamp.
'If yon please, Mr. Jones," she said.
"I want this letter registered."
An boar later Miss Foster reigned no
her horse on tbe top of a rise and look
ed across tbe flat stretch of grease
wood, and t ictus, and sage. Far away
a tiny speck waa crawling toward her
along tbe white road. It was the stage.
She bad been born upon tbe plains.
and abe bad an unfailing eye for Its
distances. There would be full half
an hoar to wait She cast about for
some way of killing time, and foand a
deep, wide fissure in the parched earth.
It appealed to ber daring. She pat ber
horse to a run and jumped It time and
again until be was winded. Then she
rode again to tbe crest of the slope.
The stage was near. She dismounted,
felt of the girths, and sat down, bug
ging the tiny noon-day shade of a
mesqulte busb, for the sun was burn
ing down from a bard, blue sky. A
big red ant was carrying a beetle's
wing many times lurger tban Itself.
Kitty watched It until she beard the
rattle of traces as the stage climbed
tbe other aide of the slope. The abe
commended ber soul to heaven and
brought ber qnlrt down . upon the
horse's black flanks.
The atage-drlver drew on his stock.
and tbe one passenger pat oat bis beao
and shouldera and gazed at tbe slender
gray figure rising alone In tbe midst of
the prairie.
"What ever. Mlsa Kitty " the
driver stopped short. He saw tbe
horse grazing off a buncb of stumpy
grass, a Hundred yarda away. Kitty
went a step nearer and laid ber band
on tbe wheel. She bad seen that there
was no woman In the stage. A woman
would bave rpset all her calculations.
She raised ber big blue" eyes. The men
who could have resisted tbem were
few. Those In the stage listened now
to a tale calculated to melt a heart of
stone.
I was Just oat for a little ride," aatd
Kitty, "and .my glrtbs were loose, so I
dismounted tc clncb up, and that borrld
Dandy got away. If yoa bad not come,
I don't know whatever I should have
done."
Mls Foster would not bave been tbe
woman she was if tears tbe genii of
the lamp of fair femininity bad not
risen at her will. The driver looked
again at the horse and back at Mlsa
Foster. He had known ber from the
day of her blrtb. When be was In tils
first enlistment long before be bad re
turned to civil life, be bad been ber
father's striker.- He had beld ber upon
burro and taught ber to ride before
she could walk. Therefore, be was
Justly annoyed. For the cleverest con.
vplrator Is apt to overlook a dotal!, and
Kitty bad forgotten that the horse of
a good rider, which has broken away,
should hare the bridle over Its head.
"I'm anre, Mf Kitty." he ssltj, "that
It wereu't me learned you to leave tbe
reins booked over the pommel when
you dismounted and I should have
thought yoa could have mounted alone
anywheres."
Kitty flushed. Of all things, she was
proudest of her horsemanship.
"Do you think, O'Kourke, that yoa
could catch Dandy for mer" -
"I dunno," said O'Roiirke, "'taint so
easy to catcb a horse when tha reins Is
over the pommel."
But be wound tbe lines around the
brake and jumped down. The passen
ger was not to be outdone, lis Jumped
down, too, and together they went
trotting across the plain.
Kitty had seen others try to catcb
Dandy. Sh climbed leisurely Into the
stage, and dragged the mall-pouch
from under the seat She waa fright
ened now, and cold and trembling, and
abe threw quick glances to where
O'Roiirke and the passenger were ad
vancing, and retreating, and deploy
ingnever within arm's reach of
Dandy. When abe had stowed away In
tbe crown of ber cap a small package
postmarked Bowte and addressed to
Cady In a pointed, sprawling, almost
femlulno band, she snapped the lock.
She had left the keys In the bag. For
she knew that the postmaster bad du
plicates. Then she steadied herself
with a long-drawn breath, and, gather
ing her riding-skirts about her, walked
toward Dandy, holding out her hand.
Dandy had been brought np to believe
that this meant augar or nutmegs, ne
came, with neck outstretched, and
nozxled In the little gloved palm.
"He Is sorry be waa naughty," said
Miss Foster, scratching the back of bla
ear, "and he la going to be good, and
never, never run away from bis mis
tress again."
And then she rewarded O'Rourke by
putting her booted foot In bis great
palm and springing to ber seat In
manner that did his training credit
She smiled on tbe passenger and thank
ed him sweetly.
I bope the postmaster will not be
angry with me for delaying tbe trans
portation of tbe government malls.
and she cantered away.
Cady sat himself upon the stop step
of the porch of Captain Foster's quar
ters. Mlsa Foster did the same. Cady':
face was stern and set Miss Foster'
was white and scared. There waa
silence. Then Cady drew from his
pocket a package of letters. Tbey were
In Kitty's writing. Kitty drew from
her pocket another package. They
were In Cady's band. Cady spoke first
"Here," be said, "Is a bundle of let
tersfour in number. They came to
me In to-day's man. They were accom
panied by this note from Glocester. I
need not assure you that I have not
read them, bat I gather from what he
saya that they are of an exceedingly
personal nature, and of very recent
date, l'ou may guess my opinion of
Glocester. But,", he bent npon her a
look of withering scorn, "you cannot
guess my opinion of you."
He held the bundle out to ber. Sbe
poshed it away. Then she held np
before his eyea a package of much tbe
same size. He reached ont for tbem
qalckly. '
Not yetr said Kitty. "Here," she
continued, "Is a bunole of letters six
In number. Tbey came In to-day's mall.
They were accompanied by a note from
Miss Fowler, of Bowie. I need not as
sure you that I bave read tbem. They
are of an exceedingly personal I may
say affectionate nature and of very
recent date. They were written by
you to MIks Fowler. I rend, too, tbe
note wltb whlcb sbe returned them.
Here It Is. You may find it of Interest
-I did."
Cady took the package she held out
to him. Miss Foster took the one Cady
beld oat to ber. And again there was
silence.
Then . the lieutenant spoke. "To
whom, may I ask, were the letters from
Miss Fowler addressed?"
"To you,"
"And may I also ask bow. In that
event tbey came into your posses
sion?'
Miss Foster considered. "No."
Cady put his package In his pocket
and fastened his blouse over tbem
Then be sat looking over the parade
ground. After a time he put bis bands
on bis knees and turned and faced Miss
Foster.
"Welir he said Kitty's eyes had
been cast down, so that her long lashes
lay npon her cheeks. She raised them.
He looked down steadily Into tbelr
blue and twinkling depths.
Welir echoed Kitty. And then he
am lied. . .
Mlsa Foster gave a huge sigh of re
lief. "Isn't It curious," ahe said, "how
exactly alike Mist Fowler and Mr.
Glocester write? Any one might bave
been deceived.
Which was not very revelant; but
Cady did not ask wbat she meant Ir

Th Country's April Crop.
In connection with demand In the
East and in Kurope for our fruit, we
quote from the Urango J mid Farmer In
tegard to tbe extent of the apple crop:
'ibis crop in the United Htates la smal
ler than it has been since reliable sta
tistics have been collected. Tha tntfti
supply from the 1898 crop of the Unit-
ni States is 17,000,000 barrels, as com
pared with something over 40,000,000
barrels last year and 70,000,000 In th
reoonl-broaking crop of 181)8. The fall
Ore ia widespread, reaching from tin
Paoifio coast to Maine, and in none of
tho states does the output of fruit ap
proach an average. (This is not true,
however, where the crop la not a fail
ure). In the great apple states of the
Central West the crop is almost a tola
failure, although the situation In Midi
igan ia better than elesewhere, bavin
about two-thlrda of the bumper otopa
of 1898. New York has only one-fifth
of a full crop. The failure ia attributed
to the faot that during the blooming
leason there was an excessive rainfall
which washed oat the pollen and pre
vented proper fertilisation by insants,
while a cold wave added to the injury,
inti subsequent moist, humid weather
waa very favorable to the development
of fungus diseases, The Ontario orop
is decidedly short. The orop of Europe
is reported below the normal, - s

To prevent the engines of a vessel
from "racing" whan the screw rises of Charles Klngsley and the moat fara
above the water, Signor K. Putulo bas'ous modem woman explorer, is said to
invented an electrical regulator. The , be contemplating another trip tbiongh
con tii vance consists of two vessels of
mercury, connectod at the bottom by a
tub and mounted fore and aft In the
ship. The vessels are about half full
at normal depth. When the ship
pushes forward so aa to raise the sorow
the rods connected with the resistance
are submerged one after the other, so
that an electro-magnet ia brought into
play, the whole resistance being short
circuited wben the screw ia entirely ont
of the water. The electro-magnet
operates a throttle valve in the main
steam pipe, which la thiown open by
another magnet By this arrange
ment the steam is turned off and on.
From experiments it has' been shown
tbat the meroury vessels need not be
more than 84 inches apart on ship
800 feet long.
