(Continued.) . The president looked rouud the assem bly, rose In the midst of a profound si lence, stretched out his firm totfnrd the general, who stood cold nnd passionless before him. and, after darting at him a withering glance through tlie holes made In the crape that concealed his face, he raid, in a grave, stern and Impressive voice: "Cnhalleros, remember the words you re about to hear. In the first place, In order to reassure you and restore your freedom of mind, learn that you have ot fallen Into the hands of Indians thirsting for your blood, or of pirates who Intend to plunder you first and assas sinate you afterward. When you have aicted as impartial witnesses you will be ait liberty to continue your journey, with out the forfeiture of a single article. The Jmcn seated on my right and left, although imasked, are brave and honest hunters. The day may perhaps arrive when you will know them : but reasons, whose Im tporrance you will speedily recognize, com pel them to remain unknown for the pres ent." One of the travelers belonging to the second carnvan stepped forward: he was a. young man, with elegant and noble features, tall and well built. "Caballero," he answered. In a dis tinct voice. "I thank you, In the name of my companions, for the reassuring words yon have spoken. I know how implaca ble are the laws of the desert; but per mit me to ask you one question." "Speak, caballero." "Is It an act of vengeance or justice you are about to carry out?" "Neither, senor." "Enough of this," the general paid haughtily ; "and if you are, as you assort, an honorable man, show me your face." "No, Don Sebastian," said the presi dent, "for in that case the game would not be even between us." The general attempted to smile, but In Kplte of himself the smile died away on his lips. The president looked round with flashing eyes and began speaking again in a sharp, cutting voice. "Now, listen, senores," he said, "and Judge this man impartially: but do not odgc him according to prairie law. but rtir hearts. Gen.

Your preparations were soon made listen attentively, general, for 1 assure you that I have reached tho most Inter esting part of my narrative. "As you fancied, for certain reasons which It is unnecessary to remind you of, that your enemies might try to lay yomo ambush for you, you thought It necessary to take the following precau tions, the inutility of some of which I presume that you have recognized. While, for the purpose of deceiving your enemies, you started in disguise, and only accom panied by a few men, for California, In order to return to Mexico ncross tho Ilccky mountains: while you pave ques tioners the fullest details of the road you intended to follow, with your men your real object was different. The man in whom you placed your confidence, Don Isidro Vargas, who had known you when a child, and whom you had converted into your tool, took the hhortost, and, consequently, most direct route for the capital, having with him not only twelve mules loaded with gold and silver, the fruit of your plunder during the peYiod of your command, but a more precious ar ticle still, the body of your unhappy dn lighter, which you had embalmed, and which the captain had orders to Inter with your ancestors at your Hacienda del Palmar. Your object in noting thus was not only to divert attention from your ill-gotten riches, but also to attract your enemies after yourself. Unfortunately, I am an old hunter so difficult to deceive that my comrades gave me long ago the glorious title of the Trail-hunter, nnd hence, I alone was not deceived." "Still your presence here gives a strik ing denial to the assertion," the general interrupted. "You think so. senor. That proves you are not thoroughly acquainted with me; but patience, I hope that you will, ere long, appreciate me better. Again, you have not reflected on the time that has elapsed since your departure from ller mosillo." "What do you mean?" the general ask ed, with a sudden start of apprehension. "I mean that before attacking you, I resolved to settle matters first with the captain." "Ah !" "Weil, general, It Is my painful duty to Inform you that four days after he left Pitic, our brave friend Don Isidro fell into an ambuscade resembling the one into which you fell to-day, with this ex ception " What exception?" the general asked. with greater interest than he would have liked to display. My men were so imprudent," the hunter continued, "as to leave the captain the means of defending himself. The re sult was that he died, bravely fighting to save the gold you had intrusted to him. and the .coffin containing your daughter's corpse." Well, and I presume you plundered the caravan, and carried off the gold and silver?" he asked, contemptuously. "So, most probably, you would have acted under the circumstances, Don Ile- bastian, the hunter answered, but I thought it my duty to act differently. What could you expect? I, a coarse, un educated hunter, do not know how to plunder, for I did pot learn it when I had the honor to serve my country. This is what I did ; so soon as the captain and tbe peons he commanded were killed for the poor devils, I must do them the jus tice to say, offered a desperate resistance I myself, you understand, fdeM.il- my self conveyed the mon etoiyM r ' Hieien da del Palmar, whereitpBOW'reihTfe- 5o' breathed Is;.nd smiled itCHlltyJtC"lBteadf of "blaming you, Bm0tt")he Mid, I, on the contrary, owe yop -tfejLBkp for tliis chivalrous conduct." "JlRorbe In such a hurry to thank me," the hunter answered ; "I have not told you all. Captain Don Isidro Vargas not only escorted the money, but there was also a coffin. Well, general, why do you not ask me what has become of that coffin?" An electric shock ran through tbe audi ence on hearing the Ironical question so coldly asked by the hunter. "What!" Don Sebastian exclaimed. "The assassin can have no claim to the body of bis victim, and you are morally your daughter's murderer, I have robbed you of this body, which must rest by the bide of him for whom she died." There was a moment's silence. Tho gtneral's face, hitherto pale, assumed a greenish hue. At length he yelled in a hoarse and hissing voice: "It is not true; you have not done this. You cannot have dared to rob a father of his child's body." "I have done It, I tell you," the hunter sale coldly. "I have taken possession of the body of your victim, and now you understand me; never shall you know v here this poor body rests. But this Ih on'r the beginning of my vengeance. What I wish to kill in you is the soul and not the body ; and now begone, nnd remember that you will find me in your path every where and ever." "One last word," the general exclaim ed, affected by tho deepest despair, "re store tne my daughter's body ; she was the only human creature I ever loved." The hunter regarded him for a moment with an undefinable expression, and then In a harsh and coldly mocking voice, "Never J" Then, turning away, he re-entered the grotto, followed by his assistant!. Don Sebastian, who was the inoro over whelmed by the last blow because It was unexpected, stood for a moment like a roan struck by lightning. At Inst a heart rending sob burst from his bosom, two burning tears sprang from IiIh eyes nud he rolled like a corpse on the ground. In the meanwhile the Jester had or dered tho peons to Middle tho horses and load the mules. Tho general was placed by two servanta on a horse, without np pearlng to notice what woa done to him, ( and n few momenta later tho caravan left the fort of the Chlchlmcqucs. When tho Mexicans hud disappeared hi tho 'windings of the road Valentino emerg ed from the grotto, and walked courteous ly up to tho hunters. "Forgive me," ho nald. "not the delay, hut the Involuntary alarm I caused you ; but I was compelled to act as I did, You are going to Mexico, whore 1 shall soon bo myself, and It Is possible that I may require your testimony someday."' "A testimony which will not bo re fused," tho first hunter gracefully answer ed. "What I" tho hunter exclaimed In amazement, "are you French?" "Yes, muI all my companions. Wo hnvo come from San Francisco, where, thanks to Providence, we nmassod n for tune, which wo hopa to double In tho Mexican capital. My name Is Antolno Italller, and these are my brothers. Ed ward and Augustus; tho two ladles who accompany us are my mother and sister." The hunter pressed the hand his coun tryman offered him. "Then." ho said. "I will not let you go alone I These mountains are Infested by dangerous bandits, but with my pro tection you can pass anywhere." "I heartily accept the offer; but why do you not come with us to Mexico?" "That Is Impossible for tho present." Two hours later tho Fort of the Chi chlmeques had returned to Its usual soli tude; white men and Indians had aban doned it forever. CHAPTER IX. We will now leap over about two months, nnd Invite the reader to accom pany us to the heart of Mexico, to tho capital. Half-past nine was striking by the cathedral clock at the moment when a dull sound resembling the rustling of reeds shaken by the wind was audible on the gigantic highway joining the city to mainland. This sound soon become moro distinct, and changed into the trampling of horses, which was deadened by tho damp air and the ground, softened by a lengthened rain. A black mass emerged from the fog, nnd two horsemen wrapped in thick cloaks stood out distinctly in the moonlight. These horsemen seemed to have mado a long journey. They at Inst reached a low roofed house through whose dirty panes a doubtful light issued, which showed that the Inhabitants were still awake. The horsemen stopped before this house, which wns an inn, and without dismounting one of them gave tho door two or three kicks and called tho host In a loud, sharp voice. The latter was In no hurry to answer, nnd would hnve prob ably left the strangers for some time In the cold if the man who had kicked, prob ably tired of waiting, had not thought of an expeditious means of obtaining an an swer. "Ah !" he shouted, as he drew a pistol from his holster and cocked It, "since this dog is resolved not to open, I will send a bullet through his window." This menace had scarce been uttered cn the door opened as if by enchantment nnd the landlord appeared on tho thresh old. "Believe me, senor, that If I had known what a distinguished caballero did me the honor of stopping before my humblo dwelling, I should have hastened to open," he said. "A truce to such impertinent remnrks, and open the door." A glance was sufficient for the travelers to understand the place to which nccl dent had led them, still they did not dis play any of the disgust with which tho sight of this cut-throat den inspired them. They seated themselves ns comfortably as they could at n table, and the one who bad hitherto addressed mine host went on: "Look here, we are dying of hunger, pntron : could vou not serve us up a morsel of food?" "Hum !" said the host, with an em barrassed air, "It is very late, caballero, and I don't believe I hnve even a malzo tortilla left in the whole house." "Nonsense," the traveler replied, "I know all about it, so let us deal frankly with each other; give me some supper, for I am hungry, and we will not squab ble about the price." "Even If you paid me a piastre for ev ery tortilla, excellency, I really could not supply you with two,'" the landlord re plied, with Increased constraint.

Those who have raised Iveets for mi gar know tho value of the two vnrl ties shown In the Illustration. Tho one on tho right Is tho famous Klein Wnenz.olbon sugar beet; tlie other tho Imperial. Tim llrst nnnied Is largely planted for sugar making, nnd they are rich lu sugar. The !tnierlnl Ih also a good sugar beet for sugar mnk Ing. In this Item, however, attention Is cnlled to these two sorts as being especially valuablo to raise for the win ter feeding of stock and especially of the cow. Being rich In sugar, they will mip ply much fowl matter, and nt the same time give the needed amount of green or succulent food so much needed by cows during the winter. Neither va riety Is especially new, but they have ooon marr vauities. not been ho freely planted ns they should Ik?. The seed Is low In price, and It will pay any one with stock to plant a small Held. Both varieties are exceedingly productive, nnd they will grow In any good soil. Itoir to I'liul Sonic Insect. Prof. Troop of thu Indiana Exiwrl mental Station gives tho following di rections lu n recent bulletin: In look ing for the scale Insect most iktsoiih will pass It by unnoticed on nccount cf Its very small size. Tho female scale Is only one-twenty-flfth of an Inch In diameter, while the male Is only about half that size. The shape of the fe male Is nearly circular, while tho male Is moro elongated. The femnle Is sharp ly convex or conical In the center. This Inst characteristic will help to distin guish It from many of the other more common species. Its color Is nearly like the bark on which It Is found. An other distinguishing character Is found In the reddish discoloration of the bark Immediately surrounding the scale, ex tending through both the outer nud In ner bark. These characters will enable one with an ordinary pocket magnify ing glass to readily detect the presence of the Insect. Covriirn fin Orclmrd Cover. Growers of lynches are using cow peas as cover crops lu the orchard. The vines shade the laud, and may be turn ed under when the ods are nenrly ripe, or may remain ns n mulch lu winter. It Is more profitable to use the vines for food for cattle, but, at the same time, If a mulch Is required, It Is well to grow the mulch, esjec!n!ly when a leguminous plnnt nnswers so well. One advantage In growing the cowpen Is that It Is almost n sure crop, and lime or wood ashes may be used ns a fer tilizer' with It. The ieach orchard will In no manner lie Injured by growing the cowpea as long as the land Is given the benefit of the crop by plowing the plants under. Unmix I'ViioliiK Device. A very handy device to be used In handling barbed wire Is shown here with. Take two strips '2Vj Inches wide nnd oO inches long and bore holes through each end. Through these, says Farm nnd Home, put old broom han dles or nny round stick, and fasten by driving a nail through the square tim ber. Leave one loose so that It can bo put through the reel of wire ns shown In the cut Tho sjwol of wire may be enrolled by drawing It over the ground with this simple device. Corn Cultivation. When cultivating young corn It must bo dona In a ijianner to destroy all weeds; hence shnllow cultivation may not answer, as the weeds must lie de stroyed by any method jMisslble, rather than to permit them In tho cornfield. But nfter tho corn Is well advanced it may provo detrimental to run the cul tivator dtfep, as It then cuts many roots. Hoot cutting has been tested nnd found Injurious. After the weeds are killed tho only work required Is to keep about nn Inch or two of tho mirfaco soil loose, In order to conserve moisture, oh well ns to put an end to any young weeds that may bo ready to start Two ftnllona In (Inn Ktflf.

Folks are snllsllod now that tin packers will send out only good, pure meat, anil they will use It freely. Homo one must grow the cattle to make this meat. We might as well all have a hand In It. Not that all Nltould drop everything else and put the eggs all Into the meat-growing basket ; If we did that there would Ik a big crash, but we can keep more stock and make It pay. And this Is a sensible view to tako of the matter. It will menu better times for farmers all over tlie country. llfttrr Ciiltlvnllon.

There Is no Implement more use ful than the disc harrow In some lines, but Its place Is to cut up the sod and render the soil lino nfter tho land has been plowed though farmers frequent ly use the disc" harrow for preparing stubble laud, leaving out plowing al together.

Sinn .Vol Horn to Itrnil, Many of the commonest physlcnl do feetH of civilized man are due to an imperfect adaptation of his body to new conditions of life. Nearsighted ness Is an example. C W. Saleeby, tho English writer on scientific subjects, says that all the talk about the degeneration of the humnn eye Is "undiluted nonsense," The truth Is that "man was not born to read." An Instrument made for see ing long distances Is forced to accom modate Itself to little marks and signs on n piece of paper. Hays Dr. Saleeby: "Tho eye which wo have Inherited from our ancestors Is one that Is usisl without effort at long range, merely containing within It an apparatus en abling It at tho cost of nervous ami muscular effort to ho used at short range." The general need of glosses arises from tho necessity In modern life of tho uho of the eyes nt short distances. If the eye were naturally focused uioii near objects tho advantage, as Dr. Saleeby admits, would tie great. How ever, ho continues, "If one started to make a list of tho Isnllly elm meters of ninn which tho amazing dovoloji inent of his Intelligence has rendered moro or less npproprlato to his needs than originally one would require a volume."
