CHAPTER IX. Continued.
W had left the house by thU time.
Bad were walking down the green lane,
but m an opposite direction to that by
which we had come from the churchyard.
A little war down the lane debouched
into a high road, and there my kind
friend stopped to take leave of me. .
"If yon find things turn ont badly, and
yoa are reduced to any great strait,
write to me; but, mind, in that case you
mast tell me all about yourself. There
must be no disguise and ne deceit. I
must cay you're rather a close customer
Cor one m young all the better for that,
perhaps. Here's my address; and now
good-by. and a safe Journey and good
luck."
The next moment he was gone. Mew
(ull of gratitude was my heart for his
kindness! I reached the railway sta
tion seme minutes before the train was
dua. Ignorant as I was of the com
monest transactions of everyday life, I
was obliged to the kind offices of a
friendly porter to procure me a ticket
and pnt me on the right platform. The
train came up and I took my seat
The excitement of steam traveling was
strange one to me, and for a time I
was lost in wonderment at the variety
tof objects we flew past, and at the rap
idly changing landscape. Suddenly I
remembered the address that the old gen
tleman had given me. I drew it cut,
curious to know his name. It was an old
Envelope, directed to "Jonathan Eod
fwell. Woodbine Cottage."
What a bound my heart gave as I road
fchat name! Was it simply by a strange
coincidence, or was he related to that
man who had so tragically Influenced
my Ufa? So' astonished was I at this
lliseovery and so absorbed in specula
tions, and a train of thought which it
suggested, that I became quite uncon
scious mt the progress of the train, of my
fellow nassengers. almost of where I
baa. My thoughts went back to the
marriage day, and every incident passed
! review through my mind. When I
came to the incident of the locket, my
heart gave another leap; it was gone
left behind ia the suit of clones: ui
it was auite safe. But I was
troubled that it had passed out of my
possession. I prized it as the snpersti-
tious would a talisman.
Crowding quickly on the heels of this
' regret, came a startling revelation; that
portrait that had puzzled me at me oia
gentleman's it was her very image, ma
tured to womanhood! .That was the re
semblance that had so powerfully struck
me, and that I could not understand at
the time. 1
I Projected into this new field of
thought, I was still wandering amidst its
mazes when I was warned tnnt my
Journey had come to an end. And, step
ping out of the carriage, I found myself
on the bewildering crowded platform
of a great city terminus. ',
"Only think of that, now! What a
wicked, unnatural creature she must be!"
cried Martha. "But what a mercy it is
that you're out of their clutches; I'm
sure my heart always felt for you.. I
was in a way when I beard you was to
be married. I knew some awful vil
lainy wax going on. But what a pity

out of window, and 1 took yon to thtf
theater? Well, you see, I didn't car
for the printing business much. I had
a soul above scraping rollers and rolling
ink: and, from the first night I went
into the theater I was 'stage struck.'
It seemed such a jolly,' easy life; and
such a glorious thing to see all the
play, and act in them, and get rounds
I of applause, and wear fine clothes, so I
determined to be an actor. I had the
impudence to apply to old Tomkins, the
mnn.iger of Bury, for an engagement.
His answer was to kick me put of the
theater as a presumptuous youug npe.
But, although this hurt my pride, it did
not damp my ardor. I heard of a booth

swered, vaguely.
Martha brightened up. "Well, well.
we must see about something for you;
but there's one thing I can tell you
you shan't want a meal's victuals while
I ve one to share with you."
I pressed her hand warmly, assuring
her, however, that I could not think
of taking anything from her.
Nonsense, nonsense! if yon say that
again, you'll seriously offend me. I shall
never miss whatever I give to you; and
who knows but what you may be rich
some day, and then think what a profit
I shall get out of your gratitude! But
the first thing we must see about is your
dress; yon can't go about like that. The
idea of dressing a young man up that

It was now night, and just as the can
dles were lit Martha's father came in.
He was a porter at a railway station: a
melancholy, wiry looking man, who sat
in a corner without speaking a word.
The next consideration was where I
should sleep. "We haven't an inch

at No. 3, and th door was answered by
Martha herself.

with surprise, "is that you? Oh, what a

ter did. 1 '
After a hearty tea I felt better. I then,
proceeded to satisfy Martha s curiosity,
which was all on edge; and while I was
about it I made a clean breast of erery
circumstance, from the time mat I over
heard the first conversation between the
Rev. Mr. Porter and his daughter, sntil
the day of my marriage. Passing over
the month, upon the events of which
I told her my lips were sealed, I related
the particulars of my flight. This k.ng
narrative, of course, was not given with
out repeated interruptions on her pan.
"There! I always said yoa was be
witched. She ought to be burnt. ' The
wicked old hypocrite, he ought to have
six months! Thaf s the reason they gave
me notice, because I shouldn't see too
such; but, you know, a marriage can't
stand good that's brought about by
witchcraft. She can't be your lawful
wife."
"She is no more my wife than yon
are, Martha," I answered; but, the next
moment, for various season's,' I was sor
- ry hat I spoke so openly.
CHAPTER XI.
Until 10 o'clock next morning I slept
a calm, dreamless sleep, and arose more
fresh and invigorated than I had felt
for months. It had been arranged that
I should breakfast at Martha's. So ac
cordingly, as soon as I was washed and
dressed, I adjourned to No. 3. Two
strange men were in the room when I
went in.
The elder of the two was a tall, thin
man, with a sallow complexion, sharp.
aquiline features, hollow cheeks, full
beard and mustache, and dark, grizzled
hair, which he wore very long and parted
in the center. He was dressed in seedy
black; an extremely open waistcoat dis
played a somewhat dilapidated fancy
shirt front, very much soiled and crum
pled. A frayed black satin necktie sur
rounded a very frayed and limp shirt
collar; his boots were old and patched,
but they were the remains of what had
nee keen radiant patent leather. His
hands were white, and carefully tended.
and ornamented with two large brass
rings. He greeted me with great politi
Bess as I entered.
His companion was a young man of
about twenty; full-faced, rather sanguine
complexion, with an expression of oddly
mixed good-nature and self-satisfaction.
His dress was less pretentious than that
of the elder, although there was the
same style of shabby gentility and the
second-hand clothes shop.
Martha introduced the elder as "Pro
fessor Montgomery," and the younger as
Mr. Fitxwalton. The elder acknowledg
ed the introduction with an air of great
politeness; the younger,' with a familiar
nod, and a twinkle of amusement in his
eye at my odd appearance, which slowly
changed to one of doubting recognition;
an expression which was reflected in my
own face; for, in Mr. Adolphus Fitxwal
ton, I believed that I recognized my
whilom bed-fellow, Josiah Cook. We
both came to the same conclusion at the
asms moment.
"Can it be possibl
"It can't be-
scenes, deliver the bills and go on for
small parts. I whs engaged at ouce.
The printing business saw me no more.
So instead of rolling ink, I rolled up
scenes. I was very happy for a tim,
especially when I got a few lines to
speak. By and by I grew ambitious and
soared in imagination from the first offi
cer to Macduff, and even to Macbeth. I
got disgusted with the menial portion of
my work;-and one fine morning, at a
fair, deserted to an opposition show,
next door, where, in a spangled tunic,
and a pair of russet boots. I scowled
ferociously at my old. companions. Then
1 managed to get taken on as super at
one of the big theaters, and knowing
something about the business, got pro
moted to super-master. There I met my
esteemed friend, 'the Professor.' a gen
tleman who can write B. A. after his
name; who has moved in the most dis
tinguished circles, but who, being at
present under a cloud, is compelled to
play General Util at the. Royal Corin
thian Theater."
But what sort of characters doT yon
take?" I inquired, referring back, in
my mind, to my solitary theatrical experience.
"Oh, I veer between the heavy busi
ness and the light comedy," he answered
carelessly.
Yes; between carrying on the chairs
and tables and the candles,".' dryly re
marked his friend, speaking for the Erst
time.
"Oh, hang it, I say, now!" expostulat
ed Josiah. ."Yon know the stage man
ager is very much struck with me. and
intends giving me a small part in the
new piece. Once let me get my nose in.
and I'll show them what I ean do."
You may more correctly say that
the stage manager was struck by you,"
again . remarked the Professor, in the
same sarcastic vein. "I thought you
had broken his nose with that banner
the other night; in his best scene, too
just as he was working up. He ex-
pressed his admiration of you in very
strong terms; it is a wonder you did not
get your nose between his fingers.
Josiah was getting very anzry. To
avert a quarrel, I asked who "General
TJtil" was.
'A person who's supposed to be able
to do everything, and consequently do
nothing, and who's bullied for every
body else's blunders," spitefully replied
Josiah.
After a little more bickering, the two
friends, as I suppose I must style them,
went out for a walk. I felt quite re
lieved at being freed from the strange.
scrutinizing glance of Mr. Montgomery's
eyes, that had scarcely ever been taken
off me the whole time he remained in the
room. After this, Martha came, and
had a little quiet talk.
"I couldn't go to sleep for hours last
night, thinking of what you'd better do,1
she said. "A clerkship is what you
want; hut, you see, you've got no refer
ences, and it is so hard to get a situa-
tion without them and. indeed, with
them, for the matter of that. I think
yon ought to try and find out your
friends; you know the name of the htw-
yers that Mr. Porter drew the money
from. I think yoa ought to go to them.'
"Suppose they were to hand me over
to thnt man again 7 I said, shuddering.
"True! and not being one-and-twen-
ty yet, you are not your own master.
Now, there was a thought came into
my head, . thonph I scarcely think It
worth while to mention it, as I should
hardly like to advise you on such
point" . . i '. :

Fowls For Market.
While the main consideration to the
consumer is that the fowl should be
reasonably plump and properly picked,
the large city merchants demand cer
tain things In the way of packing
which the poultry raiser must carry
out if be would be successful in such
markets. One of the things is. that
the fowls be "shaped" before they are
packed, and while this process makes
a form that is not particularly pleas
ing, it is, perhaps, better than the mis
shapen fowls which would result if
they were placed in boxes or barrels
without any sign of packing. To
make a shaper, first build a frame and
then in this frame construct two
troughs, each ten feet long. These
troughs are constructed by nailing to
gether two boards, seven-eighths of an
inch thick and six inches wide, at right
angles.
After plucking the fowls, lay the
carcasses in the trough, with the beads
hanging down.- the legs alongside the
breast and the breast downward. By
gentle pressure force the carcass down
into- the angle of the trough. Cover
each carcass with oiled paper; then
have an inch board' six inches wide to
lay on the carcasses, and weight this
board down with a brick or heavy
stone at either end. As the carcass of
the bird Is slipped under the board,
move the lower brick or stone to ob
tain the weight The carcasses should
be kept in this position for six or
seven hours, and they will then be
shaped' and ready for packing in crates.
The illustration shows the construction
of this shaper in detail, and, as will
be- seen, any handy man can construct
it readily. Indianapolis News.

Measuring- Corn in Crib.
The common practice is to call two
bnshels of corn on the cob a bushel of
shelled corn. This is not strictly cor
rect and in some States the legal bush
el of ears is seventy pounds. But as
suming that two bushels make but
one, it will be easy to multiply the
length, breadth and height of the crib
in inches and thus get the number of
cubic inches It contains. Then divide
this by 2,150, the number of cubic
inches in a bushel, and you have the
number of bushels of ears. This di
vided by two will give you the ap
proximate shelled corn. Another rule
is that two cubic feet of dry corn on
the cob will make a bushel of shelled
corn. Then measure the length.
breadth and height of the crib and
divide these cubic feet by two to get
bushels of shelled corn. These two
methods will give a wide difference,
for in a crib measuring twenty feet
long, ten feet high and ten feet wide
tnere snoum be by the first method a
little over 800 bushels, while by the
last method there would be 1,000 bush
els. We do not believe that either
method is perfectly accurate, and that
the true measure lies between the two,
the first being too small and the last
too large. St Louis Republic.

It has been found at the Ontario
Experiment Station that the smallest
necessary loss in curing occurs when
the corn is fairly well matured and
well eared, and contains not less than
SO to 35 per cent of dry matter. For
clover the results indicate that 28 to
32 per cent of dry matter is better than
a lower or higher per cent Corn well

English Wheat.
The wheat crop of England is the
smallest on record, surpassing even the
previous lowest record of 1895. The
trouble is not wholly due to an unfa

the land being used for other crops.

count where they are to live, whether
a suburban villa or a tiny apartment
in some of the human honeycombs is
suited best to the future income of the
happy pair. It,ls a great idea this, and
it helps out the furnishing immensely.
No shame is felt by the fiances In thus
having their housekeeping made. easy,
and It was a matter for note that an
English girl of high degree, who mar
ried the heir of a noble house the oth
er day, had lovely artistic furniture
sent her instead of jewels and curios.
There were tables, chairs, corner cup
boards and sofas, inlaid and carved,
or in satin wood, quite enough to fur
nish a drawing-room and other places
besides. It was deemed a decided im
