Then I heard the curtain fall. I was just going to leave, when Mr. Montgomery came up to me again, dress ed for the street. "I can't find it now, Silas; I will bring It home with me and you can do it jfo rorrow." Vexed and annoyed at this trifling, I ran round to the front of the house. But to re-enter the pit was impossible. The people were crowding out in one dense stream; so I was obliged to stand aside until my companions should ap pear, or until, the passage was suffi ciently cleared for me to go back to seek them. , I had not stood there many seconds before I" saw Mrs. Wilson forcing her self through the crowd, and looking wild ly about her. She caught sight of me in an instant. . "Where is Clara?" she cried, gasping for breath. "I have lost her in the crowd. Some men pushed between us, and separated her from me; and from that moment I have lost sight of her. Look about you. She must be in the street." The audience were now dispersing in all directions. Up and down, in and out the crowd, here, there and everywhere, I eagerly sought for her, but she was nowhere to be seen. Mrs. Wilson, stand ing in a doorway, trembling and wring ing her hands, soon collected a small crowd round her. . "Had they- seen a young lady, in. a black dress,- with long golden hair?" she never ceased asking. At last a man suggested that the po liceman who had been standing about the door during the latter part of the performance was the most likely person to have seen her. "Yes. He had seen a young person an swering the description. She had been one among the first of the crowd to come down the passage. She looked as if she had lost some one. When she got into the street a young man touched her upon the arm and said something, and she walked1 away with him. Then u lost sight of her. ' "What was the man like?". I asked. "Oh, he was a youngish, smooth-faced fellow, with a cap on," was the reply. The very man who had beckoned me out of the pit. It was a plot, then; but by whom originated, and for what purpose? "Take a cab; go to Bow street police station at once, and I will follow you in a few minutes," I said to Mrs. Wilson. Back I rushed to the stage door. Had Mr. Montgomery left the theater? He had followed out at my heels, was the answer. ' Suddenly I bethought me of the public Montgomery. Away I ran thither. No; they had not been there that evening. Then I went down to Bow street, where 1 found Mrs, Wilsou, 1 more dead than alive, giving her deposition. "Are you quite certain that the young lady has not gone off of her own free will? some sweethearting case, per haps only for a little walk met some one she knew, and finding that she had missed you, he has taken her "home?" suggested the functionary who was tak ing down the depositions. "Pray disabuse your mind of such-an idea; the young lady in question has no friends except those you see here r knows no others associates with no others." The solemn earnestness of mjr tones seemed to convince him of his error, for from that time he gave us a more seri ous attention. "A description shall be sent to the dif ferent beats and police stations, and you had better issue bills, and if you care to go to the expense, advertise in the daily papers. If we hear anything, we will let you know. But you can make your mind easy upon one point at least, I think so; wherever she is, she has gone with her own free will. There's no accounting for the vagaries of girls." Both myself and Mrs. Wilson felt very angry at the light and skeptical manner in which a subject so momentous to us was treated; but the officer only smiled at our warmth. Mrs. Wilson expressed her intention of issuing bills early the, next morning, offering a reward for her discovery. There was nothing more to be done in that place, for the cab- was waiting, and I persuaded her to return home im mediately. She implored me to accom pany her. No, I would search the neigh borhood ; I might chance to get some tidings. , Finding that all her entreaties were in vain, the old lady reluctantly depart ed alone. Mr. Jonathan was standing upon the doorstep when the cab drove up. Before the cabman could descend from the box, "Where is she where is Clara?" he asked, seeing Jtmt one person within. Too utterly terrified and bewildered to think of. the oddity of such a question from a sti anger' whom she had never seen before, Mrs. Wilson could only gasp, "She is gone run away with." ' Ten minutes afterwards, Mr. Jona than jumped into the cab that had brought her home, and which he ordered to stay. "To the Bow street police station as fast as you can drive," he cried. 1 , ' ,y. - All that night I wandered about in a frenzied state up and down the streets, down by the river, I know not where. It came on to rain, aud I was soaked to the skin. Still, hour after hour, I lin gered about the same spot; the dawn broke and merged, into broad daylight, - iuiu luc uiuub ui. luq uoy uegaa, yefc sum ' I could not tear myself away; the pass ers-by shrank from me they must have thought me an escaped lunatic At last, I felt that nature could hold out no long er; that I must fall down upon the pavement if I -walked about any lomrer. I can remember dragging myself down to , my lodging,, throwing myself in my wee clothes upon the bed, and then all is a blank. CHAPTKR TYIir.

And then I seemed to awake from a long, troubled sleep, and an oeyona my power to uescriDe. nu eu.uri auu Buciecueu iu ; drawing a little apart the curtains at the foot of -the bed. Almost' within my reach stood a table, upon which was a moderator lamp, burning low, a jug, tumbler, and some bottles. The faint rays of the lamp showed me a large, gloomy oak-panelled room; with the ceiling painted to match. The win dows opposite me were covered with heavy curtains, and the furniture was j dark and very old-fashioned. On one side was a huge fireplace, decorated with oak carvings; in the grate burned a cheerful fire, and there, sitting beside it, dozing, with her face' half towards me, was an elderly woman, a stranger to me. '.'-. Having finished my survey, I crawled DacK to my pillow and lay still lor a time, reeling very much exhausted witn my slight exertion. Presently the worn- an woke up, came to the side of the bed, drew the curtains, and looked at me. "You are better," she said, kindly. I am so glad. You have had a long, weary time of it, but the doctor said there would be a change one way or the other to-night. You're with friends, who have taken every care of you." "Tell -me, is Clara found?" I asked, eagerly. . "Oh, yes, she's all right, and will come and see vou as soon as vou crow strone- er, but you mustn't talk, or you' 11 haVe a relapse."

I will ask leave to tell von what T know, which I on BSKre vou is verv little. But if vou make haste and get strong, and get about, you will be able to find out everything for your- I self." That day I got out of bed for the first time, and sat at the window. It looked into an extensive garden, encom passed, as far as I could see, by a high wall, lined within by rows of tall poplar tries. My room was upon the ground floor, and this wall and the trees bound ed my vision. I could see naught beyond them. One afternoon I had fallen asleep over the fare, snddenly I awoke with a jeik; the rays of a red, autumn sun were streaming across me, and falling full i:pou the face of Judith, who was lean ing against the fireplace, looking at me. At -first, I thouzht it was a specter of my sleep. I could not believe my eyes; but I was not long left in doubt as to the reality of the vision. An ironical smile curled her lips at the sight of my dismay. "A visit from your wife is evidently an unexpected pleasure, she said, mocking ly. ' I could not answer her: I could only bury my face in my hands and shudder at her appearance. "Is this my reward for all the tender care t'lat has been given you during your illness? tor bringing you away from those wretched lodgings, where you might have died? Our married Ufe seems likely to be a bright one.' ' "Would to heaven you had left me to die!" I cried. wYou are no wife of mine." - - "You will find - it rather difficult to prove that, or to shake me off." "What pleasure can it be to you to torture me in this manner?" I cried. "Why not leave, me to myself?" "Because 1 hate you. and because I have motives of my own. It gives me pleasure to torture you. .No living being has ever made me feel so deeply the deg radation of my life as you have; you, a miserable, spiritless outcast; you, whom, as a brat, I have beaten with a rod. and always despised; you shudder at my approach, and turn your eyes "from me with loathing; aud you ask me what pleasure it can be to me to torture you! From the hour of my birth, my life has been one torture. I have-ever been, the victim. At last, tne tames are turned you are my victim; and as others, have dealt by me, so will I deal by yon! No mercy was ever shown to me; why, then, should I show it to others? She was still standing against the fire place. I dared not look at her, but I could feel the tigerish ferocity .of her eyes. But I did not come here to rave. First, I came, like a dutiful wife, to congratulate my husband on his conva lescence," she went on, resuming the old ; ironv of voice; "and to : comfort "him with the knowledge that he is in affec tionate hands; and, in the second place, to arrange certain matters of business with him, which, if he will oblige me with -a few moments' attention, I will explain. In- the .course 4qf to-morrow a ' woman will come here in short, . the vf man who committed 70a to my lath- er's charge. I require that 70a shall I unhesitatingly acknowledge me as yturl wife in' her presence. " "- ' 3 "Never!" I exclaimed, firmly.' "You may kill me, but I will never utter such words!" - "I have- the ireans of forcing you to speak them, or any other words that II may choose to dictate to you. 5 At that moment the door was thrown open. I turned my head, and saw Mr. Bodwell standing upon the threshold. CHAPTER XXIV. T .... ,- . .oo v-.i. Z j .u" a u-l m t coo m- timo lthmnw hJ a 8idelone glance. I could' distinctly', see him. He started at the sight of Judith, ag though he had not expected to see her, exclaiming, "You here!" "Pray walk in, and allow me to intro- dure von to mv husband " she said, with the old irony. "Another unexpected pleasure, no doubt!" . Mr. Rodwell advanced into the room, ii- , . . ... . . looking somewhat bewildered; but when ho .w m ho ct.rti , with i,.Hi. . ' - 1 nant surprise. "What is the meaning of this? Who has dared to bring this fellow here?" he cried. "This is too much, Judith. How j came you here? How did you know of iois place t i cannot uuuvrauuu an this!" He spoke in a more modified tone, but still looked vexed and wrathful. It is very easily explained. My hus band, being away from his loving wife," was seized with brain fever in some wretched lodging; the parish doctor, who was attending him, said that it would not be af to remove him anv treat distance. In this dilemma, Mr, Mont- g0inery, who lived a door or two off, pro- p08ed t he should be taken to a t,nnu of ,im nf whih for certain ro- sona of vnnr own nn hB(1 rf-.- him the teys.

The proposal being made to secure the reduction of the duty on Philippine sugar and tobacco promises to bring on another fight similar to the sugar W&T over CubsLJi reciprocity. It is pro- Posed now to lower the tariff on sugar and. tobacco coming from the Philip pines' 25 per cent, although it is un- derstood that Secretary Taft proposes to continue a fight from session to ses- SKm r ingress until tree i'nuippine sugar and tobacco are secured. In this connection It is Interesting to know -the treat and varied develon- ment which is going on in beet sugar affairs. In fact, a strong argument , . . . , which the beet sugar people advance why Philippine sugar production snoum not De unduly stimulated is that if the beet sugar industry is giv- I en a reasonable period, say of ten years, the industry will be upon such a basis where it can stand alone. . Xo less an authority than Secretary Wil- son himself is credited with this be- lief and the statement that it will be posible to produce beet sugar in this country at 2 cents a pound. Uaefnl Potato Coverer. When we plant potatoes we furrow with a plow drawn by two horses. When the furrows are made there are ridges In half of the spaces and the other half are level (Fig. 7). When covering we use what we call a scrap er. ( See Fig 2). It is made of a plank, tongue, bandies and several ! 1 " K-ooo. K1fo Th. lnn.h -ho UlaVCD (1 1111 UVllOi t .UC 117 11, 111 11 1 LUC plank should be about twice the dis tance between the rows. The plank should have a strap of iron at the bottom in front for a cutting edge and POTATO pOVEREB. to prevent wear, says a correspondent of Ohio Farmer. The tongue should k fastened to the plank at right an- gle8 and geCurely braced. The ban- 1 . - . 1. 11 . . 111 I ales, wmcn may De tasen irom an oia plow or walking cultivator, should also be fastened and braced to the plank. We let each horse walk in a furrow, but it is better to use a long doubletree and neckyoke or shafts and but one horse, so the potatoes do not get moved and tramped. The scraper carries some ground ahead of it, which it pulverizes. It may be used to scrape the barnyard if the ground is I smooth. I The Sitting Hen, Eggs intended . for early sitting should be gathered at least twice a day and kept where there will .be no danger of shilling. Hens that want to sit early In the spring areapt to be rather unreliable and should be al- lowed to become thoroughly started over a nest of china eggs before he-; lrig intrusted with a valuable sitting. wnen a 11 en reaiiy meniia uunmcaa, her Bkin feels hot and feverish, and sue mnaiiy sneus a iew iraui uviii the breast Early sittings snoum not t be more than the hen can very easily COVer' eleven r v T v? . than a larger number for hens of average size.

Lake, of West Virginia, tells how he makes $1,000 a year from 400 bens. The houses are simple, the climate not being severe. - They are 10x40 feet, facing the south, divided into four compartments, two roosting rooms and two scratching rooms, after the usual plan, each house being used for fifty to sixty-five fowls. Each house is expected to pay a profit above cost of food ,of $100. The food is wheat, oats, bran, cut clover and drv blood or beef meal, with plenty of sharp grit, plenty of water, and the lice kept In check. The stock is kept up by incubators and setting hens are also used, In short, the success of this establishment seems to be the re sult of adopting the thorough-going Northern methods in an especially fa vorable climate. Hilla for Apple Orchards. - Where there are hllis and a clay soil the conditions are suitable for the raising of apples. In the southern part of Illinois and Indiana the land is admirably adapted to the raising of apples, and as yet is but little used yurpuae. aiie appie tree seems to want air drainage.

The apple tree is never a swamp loving tree. It prerers the dry land, where its roots can eet air as well as water. St iiuis Republic. 0 . Wholesome Milk. In a bulletin of the Connecticut Storrs station W. A. Stocking, Jr., re - ports the results of comparative stud - ies of the sanitary condition of milk drawn in open and covered pails. Two palls were used in these experiments. One was a regular open pall; the oth er -wras a pail with a- cover of special design. x An illus tration of the lat- covered mllk pah, ter is here given.
