others homed acquiescence, and even
the old man was bound to join in the
sport. Louise and her brother knew all
the hiding places within the enclosure,
anil the former pulled Iouis aside, and
whispered merrily with bim.
"Now, none of that," said Goupart
"none of that! It is not fair for you to
conspire against me. If you two put
your heads together I'll go and charter
old Tony to come and help me. Now
mind!"
But the only answer he received was a
Joyous laugh as Louise ran away to dress
herself for the out-door sport.
The moon rode high In the heavens,
and her face was but slightly turned
away from earth. In the wide courtyard
the merry voices rang tunefully out upon
the calm night air, and the glad notes
were caught up and flung back by the
distant forejit.
Away over the brow of a gentle bill,
where a copce of beautiful acacia trees

begged that I might see you once more
nn earth. And. at .times, my soul has
been wild enough in its flights of hope
to picture that one most holy thought of
all life-union with the dearly loved one.
When my feet first touched theso shores,
I dreamed not that I was near to thee.
But I found you, and here I sat me down
to pray with more of hope, and to hope
with more of promise. And now, Louise,
let me ask you, as I have asked you a
hundred times before, will you be my
wife?"
"Goupart, I have a father whose every
earthly wish Is for the good of his chil

they gathered together and conversed in
a strange tongue, and then they moved
slowly up the hillside, and crept down
towards the corn field. On they moved,
like specters in the moonlight, until they
neared the high barricade, and then set
tled lower down and crept on 'like huge
cats approaching their prey. Straight
they moved towards the postern, and
there they lay, beneath the wooden wall,
and listened to the merry voices from
within. Soon one of them arose to his
feet. He was In the shade of the wall,
but yet the many colored paint upon his
dark skin could be seen, and the dusky
browed warrior was no more concealed.
They were all a score of them painted
In tie same fantastic manner, and the
same dusky hue marked the brow of
each. He who bad arisen to his feet pro-
assured that I would not ask, ever for Queej something from his pouch, and

towards the house, they spoke not of the -. ftl. iA,.n turns th

It was already dusk when they reach
ed the hall, and whllo Louise went to re
move her moccasins, St. Denis went to
aeek Brlon St. Julien. He found him ra
bis library.
"How now, Goupart?" cried the old
man, as his young friend took a seat.
"What has happened? Any more In
.dlans? What on earth makes you look
, so sober?"
Carefully the Indian turns the key In
the lock, but the gate Is fastened within.
The heavy bolt has been surely thrown
back, and yet the gate opens not. But
there Is no time to be lost. The red men
whispered together a moment, and then
ram of them bends upon his knees, and
when a second has mounted upon hla
shoulders, he arises. They are both tall
men. but he who stands upon his com

They then went into the house, but
neither was there.
"Why, It's funny isn't It, Goupart?"
"It U, purely."
"I'll start up some of the boys,"
And accordingly, half a dozen of the
men were sent out in different parts of
the enclosure to inform the biders that
the game was up. But they returned
bootless. It was old Tony who announc
ed that they couldn't be found. The
marquis gazed upon Goupart, and Gou
part gazed upon the marquis, and thus
they stood for some moments.
"Do you think any danger can have
befallen them?" whispered the youth.
with a trembling Hp.
"I don't think there could," returned
the old man, nervously. "But we must
search."
In a very few moments the whole
household was in alarm. The startling
adventure with the Indians some time
before had prepared the minds of the
people for an easy access of fear, and as
soon as it was known that Louis and
Louise were not to be found, consterna
tion was depicted upon every face. Huge
bundles of pitch-wood were always kept
in readiness to ba used in case of alarm
at night, and some of these were lighted,
and soon the whole household were in the
wide court. They divided at the barn.
and in fifteen minutes they all met there
again. But they had found nothing.
Pale and trembling, the old man turn
ed to the gate. It was locked, but the
bolts were not shot. He called for the
key. Tony had It, and the postern was
soon flung open, Mid the torches flashed
out upon the broad hillside back, of the
buildings. Suddenly a sharp, quick cry
from old Tony startled the party, and
quick as thought, Goupart waa by his
aide.
"What is It?" the latter asked.
"See that foot!" the black man gasp
ed, trembling like an aspen.
"What of It?"
"It hod no heel! It is the print of n
moccasin!"
While the people were crowding about
the spot, one of the women found an
arrow, and In a moment more a mocca
sin was picked up.
"The Chlckasaws!" exclaimed lony,
as soon as he saw the moccasin.
"O heavens!" gasped Brion St. Ju
Hen. And with a deep groan he stag
gered back. But he quickly revived, for
the thought of pursuit came to him. Gon-
part hastened the men to pursuit In wiia,
frnntic tones.
Just as the great old clock in the hall
told the hour of four in the morning, the
nartv returned to the house, pale and fa.
tlmied. The first gray streaks of dawn
were pencilling the eastern horizon as the
marqnis and Goupart stood In the sitting
room. One of the women Drougnt in a

Farming by Steam.
1 Pearson's Is an interesting article
D. A. Willey, "Farming by Steam,"
in which Is described some of the re
markable machinery used in modern
farming. One of the most useful ma
chines Is the great traction engine,
used in the place of horse-power. In
California the new steam "tractors,"
as the engines are called, are finding
high favor.
Of course, small steam engines have
long been in use all the world over to
haul farm machinery along the coun
try highways, to operate threshing
machines and now and again for
ploughing purposes, when the engine
winds in a cable attached to the
plough, and so draws the . plough
across the field. But the Western trac
tor does far more Important work, and
Is quite a different type. In the first
place, note its hugeness. The machin
ery la supported on three great wheels,
having tires five or six feet In width,
so that they appear like enormous bar
rels of steel. On either side a huge
sprocket chain encircles the wheels,
with links made of steel a foot long
and an inch thick, each tested to with
stand a pull of 250 tons. Every detail
Is on a similar scale of hugeness and
strength.
In its wide tires lies one of the se
crets of the tractor's strength. They
gain such a grip on the surface, no
matter how sandy or how soft the
field or road may be, that they exert
an enormous tractive force, and the
wheels cannot slip under the heaviest
load. ,

In transplanting trees all the roots

upward and outward direction.
Much working, and especially a sec
ond working, is injurious, destroying
as It does the natural grain of the
butter, giving it a green, Balvy con
sistency. The aim in packing Is to
exclude air and light Covering with
brine Is the only sure method of ex
cluding air. Store In a sweet, cool
place, where an even temperature can
be maintained somewhat below GO degrees.
Milk absorbs odor from the moment
it Is drawn from the cow until the
time It is churned. Whenever milk
reaches the temperature of one hun
dred it Is claimed to be In an active
state of decomposition. But while
milk is easily affected by outside In
fluences, the adherence to strict rules
of cleanliness will greatly aid the
dairyman to avoid the changes that
often occur. Cooling the milk renders
the germs Inactive and prevents de
composition for a while, but It should
not be overlooked that milk absorbs
odors very rapidly when cool. Ex
nosure to odors, gases or volatile mat
ter of any kind should, therefore, be
avoided and every utensil used In the
dairy should be scalded with bolllug
water and thoroughly scoured.
