and he did not return. I was becoming
uneasy at my absence from my compan
ions. 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,

I felt that nature could hold out no long

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.

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 get strong, and get about, you will

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.

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-

the old irony. "Another unexpected
pleasure, no doubt!" .
Mr. Rodwell advanced into the room,

"What is the meaning of this? Who

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-

p08ed t he should be taken to a

Smear and Tobacco.
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

of Ohio Farmer. The tongue should

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

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-;

Good Income from Hens.
In a prize article in a Philadelphia
paper, B." F. 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.

In a bulletin of the Connecticut
Storrs station W. A. Stocking, Jr., re -
ports the results of comparative stud -
ies of the sanitary

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

Garden Hints.
Study the seed catalogues.
Sow peas as soon as the ground can
be worked.
Now will you be good and test your
seeds?
Cherries and plums should
