"This Is n nice room you're got, Wal
tci."
"Yes, you know I am to stay here for
two yearn, and I might as welt be com
fortoble."
"It's a good deal better than my room
twice ns big, to begin with. Then, my
carpet looks as it it had come down
through , several generations. As for a
mirror, I've got a sovcn-by-nlne looking
glass that I have to look into twice be
fore I can nee my whole face. As for the
bedstead, it creaks so when I jump into
it that I expect every uight it'll fall to
pieces and spill me on the floor. Now
your room is splendidly furnished."
"Yes, it is now, but father furnished
It at his own expense. He said he was
willing to spend a little money to make
me comfortable."
"That's more than my father said, lie
told me it wouldn't do me any harm to
rough it."
"Perhaps he's right," said Walter. "Of
course, I don't object to the new carpet
nnd furniture, but I shouldn't consider
it any great hardship if I had to rough
It, as you call it."
"Wouldn't you? Then I'll tell you what
we'll do. Let's change rooms. You can
go roiuid and board at Mrs. Glenn's, and
1 ii come uere. '
"I am not sure what my father would
think of that arrangement," said Walter,
dialling.
"I thought you'd And some way to
crawl out," said Lemuel. "For my part,
I don't believe you'd enjoy roughing it
any better than I."
"f don't know," said Walter; "I've
sometimes thought 1 shouldn't be very
sorry to be a poor boy, and have to work
my own way."
"That's very well to say when you're
the son of a rich man."
"So ore you."
"Yes, but I don't get the benefit of it,
and you do. What would yju do now
If you were a poor boy?
"I can't say, of course, now, but I
Would go to work at something. I am
sure I could earn my own living.
"I suppose I could, too, but I shouldn't
want to. Some people are born lazy, don't
think so?"
"Perhaps you are right," answered
Walter, with a smile. "Now suppose we
open our Cajsnr."
Lemuel Warner was a pleasant looking
boy of fourteen, the son of a prosperous
merchant in Nc?v York. Walter Conrad
was from a small country town, where his
father was the wealthiest and most prom
inent and Influential citizen, having a
handsome mansion house, surrounded by
extensive grounds.
Nobody knew just how rich he was;
but he was generally supposed to be
worth two hundred thousand dollars. Airs,
Conrad had been dead for five years, so
that Walter, who was an only child, had
no Immediate relation except his father.
It was for this reason, perhaps, that he
liad been sent to the Essex Classical In
stitute. Being a boy of talent, and well
giounded in Latin, he was easily able to
take a high rank in his class. Lemuel
Warner had become his intimate friend,
being in the same class, but inferior to
him in scholarship. They usually studied
their Latin lessons together, and it was
owing to this circumstance that Lemuel
made a better figure in his recitations
than before Walter came to the school.
"There, that job's done," said Lemuel,
closing his book with an air of satisfac
tion. "Now we can rest."
"You forget the Latin exercise. You
know the doctor expects each boy to
write a letter in Latin, addressed to his
father, not less than twelve lines in
length."
The boys started on their new task, and
finished by nine o'clock. Lemuel's let
ter was written with ,a brilliant disregard
of grammatical rules, but it was consid
erably revised In accordance with sugges
tions from Walter.
"I've a great mind to send my letter
home, Walter," said Lemuel. "Father
expects me to write home every week, and
this would save mo some trouble. Besides,
he'd think I was getting on famously, to
write home In Latin."
"Yes, if he didn't find out the mis
takes." "That's the rub. He'd show it to the
minister the first time he called, and then
my blunders would be detected. I guess
I'd better wait till it comeH back from
the doctor corrected."
"I expect to hear from home to-mor-rok,"
said Walter. "It is my birthday."
"Let me be the first to congratulate
you. How venerable will you be?"
"As venerable as most boys of fifteen,
Lem."
"You're three months older than I am,
then. Do you expect a present?"
"Father promised to give me a gold
watch chain some time. You know I
htfvo a gold watch already."
"Yes, and a regular little beauty."
"So it wouldn't surprise me much to
gft a chain for a present."
"You're a lucky boy. My watch is sil
ver, und oply cost twenty dollars."
"I dare say I should be just as happy
With a silver wutch, Lem."
"I suppose you wouldn't like to buy,
would you? If so, I'll give you the
chance. A fair exchange is no robbery."
"No, I BupioBe not ; but it wouldn't do
to exchange a gift."
"Perhaps, if my watch were gold and
yours silver, you wouldn't have any ob
jections." "I don't think that would alter the
case with me, A gift is a gift, no matter
about its vulue."
"It's the bard study, I Buppose, that's
done It. I must be getting back to Ma'am
Glenn's. Good-night."
"Good-night, Lem."
Lemuel. Warner gathered up his books,
and left the room. Walter poked the fire,
putting somo ashes on, so that It would
keep till the next morning, and commenc
ed undressing. He was Interrupted by
a heavy step on the stairs, and directly
afterward a knock resounded upon his
oor.
Wondering who his late visitor could
bt, Walter stepped te the door aad opened
It. Ho was still more surprised to rccog
nlze in the visitor Dr. Porter, tho prin
clpal of the Institute-
"Good-evening, Conrad." said the doc
tor. "I am rather a late visitor. I was
not sure but you might be in bed. Havo
you heard from home, lately, Conrad?'
aoked the doctor.
"Yes, sir, I received a letter a few
unys since."
"Did your father speak of being un
well?" "N,o, sir," said Walter, taking Instant
alarm. "Have have you heard any
thing?" "Yes, my boy; and that Is my reason
fot calling upon you at this unusual hour.
I received this telegram twenty minutes
since,,"
Walter took the telegram, with trera
Diing hngers, and read the following raes
sage:
"Dr. Porter Please send Walter Con
rad homo by the first train." nis father
is very sick. NANCY FORBES."
"Do you think there is any danger,
Dr. Porter?" asked Walter, with a pale
tacc
"I cannot tell, my boy; this telegram
iiiruisnes an tue information I possess
Who is Nancy Forbes?"
"She is the housekeeper. I can't real
ize that father is so sick. He did not say
anytning about it when he wrote."
"Let us hope it Is only a brief sick
ness. I think you had better go home by
tne tirst train to-morrow morning."
The principal shook hands with Walter
and withdrew. When his tall form had
vanished, Walter sat down and tried to
realize the fact of his father's sickness :
but this he found difficult. It was a long
time before he got to sleep, but at length
he did sleep, waking in time only for a
hasty preparation for the homeward jour
ney.
He "was so occupied with thoughts of
his father that it was not till he was well
on the way home that It occurred to him
that this was his fifteenth birthday, to
which he had been looking forward for
some time.
The seat in front of Walter was for
some time vacant; but at the Woodvilie
station two gentlemen got in and entered
upon an animated conversation. Walter
did not at first pay any attention to It.
lie was looking out of the window list
lessly, unable to fix his mind upon any
thing except his father's sickness. But
at length his attention was caught by
some remarks made by one of the gentle
men in front, and from this point he list-
ene dlanguidly.
I suspected him to be a swindler when
he first came to me," Baid the gentleman
sitting next the window. "He hadn't an
honest look, and I was determined not
to, have anything to do with his scheme.
Mining companies are risky things al
ways. I once got taken in to the tune
of five thousand dollars, but It taught me
a lesson. So I was not particularly im
pressed with the brilliant prospectus of
the Great Metropolitan Mining Company,
in spite of its high-sounding name, and
its promised dividend ot thirty per cent.
Depend upon it, James Wall and his con
federates will pocket all the dividends
that are made."
Very likely you are right. But It may
bi that Wall really believed there was a
good chance of making money."
Of course he din, but he was deter
mined to make the money for himself,
and not for the stockholders."
"I might have been tempted to invest.
but all my money was locked up at the
time, and I could not have done bo with
out borrowing the money, and that I was
resolved not to do."
"It was fortunate for you that you
didn't, for the bubble has already burst.
There will be many losers. By the way,
I hear that Mr. Conrad of Willoughby
was largely interested. He is a rich man,
but for all that he may have gone in be
yond hia means."
"I am sorry for him, but that was reck
less."
Yes, he was completely taken in by
Wall. He's a smooth fellow."
When the gentlemen left the cars Wal
ter saw one of them bad left a morning
paper lying In the Beat He picked it up
and examined the columns until his eyes
fell upon the following paragraph:
"The failure of the Great Metropolitan
Mining Company proves to be a disas
trous one. The assets will not bo suffi
cient to pay more than five per cent of
the amount of the sums Invested by the
tockholders, possibly not that. There
must have been gross mismanagement
somewhere, or such a result could hardly
have been reached. We understand that
the affairs of the company are In tho
bands of assignees who are empowered to
wind them up. The stockholders In this
Icinity will await the result with anx
iety."
"That looks rather discouraging, to be
Bure," thought Walter. "I suppose father
will lose a good deal. But I'll tell him
he needn't worry about me. I shan't mind
being poor, even if it comes to that. As
long as be is left to me, I won't com
plain."
The time passed until the cars stopped
Willouchbv station. Walter jumped
over a fence and took his way across the
fields to his father's house. By the road
It would have been a mile, but It wao
scarcely more than half a miie by the foot
path.
He went up the pathway to the front
door and rang the bell. The door was
nened bv Nancy Forbes, the housekeeper,
whose name was appended to the tele
gram.
"So It'a you, Master waiter," fine aaiu.
I am clad you are home, but Its a sail

and motionless, looking Into the

The

"Coma In, Master Walter, come In ami
havo a cup of hot tea. It'll mnko you
feel better."
"Tell mo about It, Nancy; I I can't
think It's true. It's so sudden. When
was he first taken sick?'
"I dlda't notice nothing till last night
just after supper. Richard wont to tho
postofiice and got your father's letters.
When they came ho took 'em Into tlvs li
brary, and began to read 'cm. There was
three, I remember. It was about an hour
before I went Into the room to tell him
the carpenter had called about repairing
the carrlago house. When I canio in,
there was your poor father lying on tho
carpet, senseless. He held a letter tlgnt
In his hand. I screamed for help. Mr.
Brier, the carpenter, and Richard cam
In and helped me to lift up your poor
father, and we sent right off for the doc
tor." "What did the doctor say?"
''He said It was. a paralytic stroka a
very bad one and ordered him to bo put
to bed directly? But It was of no use.
He never recovered, hut breathed his last
this morning at eight o'clock."
"Nancy, have you got that letter which
my father was reading?"
"Yes, Master Walter, I put It In mj
pocket without reading. 1 think thero
must have been bad news in it."
She drew from her pocket a letter,
which she placed in Walter's hands. IIo
read it hastily, and it confirmed his sus
picions. It was from a lawyer Mr. Con
rad had asked to make Inquiries respect
ing tho Great Metropolitan Mining Com
pany, and was as follows
"William Courad, Esq.:
"Dear Sir I have, at your request,
taken pains to inform myself of the pres
ent management and condition of tho
Great Metropolitan Mining Coiupanyl
The task has been less difficult than 1
anticipated, since the failure of the com
pany has just been made public. Tho
management has been In the hands of dis
honest and unscrupulous men, auil It Is
doubtful whether the stockholders will be
able to recover anything.
"ANDREW HOLMES."
Walter folded up the letter, and put it
into his pocket He felt that this letter
had cost his father his life, and In the
midst of his grief he had very bitter
thoughts about the unscrupulous man who
had led his father to ruin. Had It b;en
merely the loss of property, he could
have forgiven him, but he had been de
prived of tho kindest and most indulgent
of fathers.
"I should like to see my father,' he
said.
An hour later he came out of the death
chamber, pale but composed. He seemed
older and more thoughtful than when ho
entered. A great and sudden Borrow often
has this effect upon the young.
"Nancy," he said, "have any arrange
menta been made about the funeral?"
"No, Walter, we waited till you came."
"My father had no near relatives.
There is a cousin, Jacob Drumraond, who
lives in Stapleton. It will be necessary
to let him know. It will be best to telegraph."
Jacob Drummond kept a dry good
store in the village of Stapleton. ne had
the reputation of being a very mean man.
He carried his meanness not only Into
his business, but Into his household, and
there was not a poor mechanic In Sta
pleton who did not live better than Mr.
Drummond, who was the rich man ot the
place.

The Colony l'lnn.
If you want vigorous chickens and
liens that lay do not overcrowd them.
Forty or fifty In one tlock are suffi
cient. If you(havc more than this num
ber by all means make a change, for
your chickens are probably costing you
more than they are worth. If you do
not care to sell any of your birds then
start Into the chicken business on the
colony plan. Divide your Hook into
colonies of about forty fowls each' nnd
build houses for them In different parts
of the farm. For Instance, if you have
one hen house on the east Bide of the
barn, put another liouse on the west
side. Then If you have enough birds
put anotlier house down by the calf lot
und another to the farther end of the
barn yard. A dozen different places will
suggest themselves If you look for lo
cations on your farm. If you have
made a failure In raising chickens or
your hens "don't amount to much,"
try this method. It will surprise and
please you. Your hens will be healthier,
will lay letter nnd will require less
feed. The reason for this will be easily
seen when you have once tried It.
Chickens, or anything else for that mnt
ter, cannot stand crowding. Also the
colony plan gives the fowls wider range
nnd encourages tho birds to hunt for
their living. Exchange.

Tho Rtieccus attending tho ub. or
silage In the dairy business has created
much Interest nniong beef cattlo men.
Sllago furnishes n succulent food,
which Is qulto essential to tho dairy
sow In keeping her digestive system In
good condition. Tho same will bo found
true for the beef nnlmnl. Twenty
pounds of sllago wr day will supply
nil tho bulk and water needed In a
fattening ration. The other roughngo
may consist of either long fodder or
mixed hay. The economy of using
silage for fattening purposes Is well
brought out by Prof. A. M. Houlo of
the Virginia station, who has stated tho
following conclusions:
"Theio was n difference of from .3
to .r of n pound of grain per head per
day In favor of the alia go-fed cattle.
They also finished out better nnd In
nny discriminating market would cer
tainly bring n better price than tho
dry-fed cattle.
"Of the three forms of roughago fed,
the silage was eaten with the greatest
relish, nnd there wnH absolutely no
loss, whereas with the Htovcr tho loss
amounted to 13.fi per cent nnd with liny
1.1(1 per cent. Where n largo number
of animals are fed this would mnku a
considerable difference In tho cost of
ration, except that the shredded stover
can bo utilized' to advantage for bed
ding." Sllago as It Is put up today Is bet
ter than when the practice wns first
started. Good sllago of corn Is made
when tho grain has passed tho milk
stage and has commenced to glaze a lit
