Contrary to (Ju.v's expectations, Ajnes
did not refuse to let Jessie g.i for a ride,
partic.itarl.v ns she had no suspicion
where he intended taking her, and tin
little girl was soon seated by her broth
er's sidi', chatting merrily of the differ
ent things they passed upon the road. Hut
when (iuy told her where they were going,
anil why they were going there, the tears
came at once into her eyes, and hiding
her faee in (Juy's lap, she sobbed bitterly.
"I did like her so much that day," she
Raid, "and she looked so sorry, too. It's
terrible to die !" "
Then she plied (?uy with questions con
cerning Maddy's probable future. "Would
she go to heaven, sure'.'" and when (Juy
answered at random, "Yes," she asked,
"How did he know? Had he heard that
Maddy was that kind of good which lets
folks in heaven? Hecause, Hi-other (iuy,"
and the little preacher nestled closely to
the young man, fingering his coat buttons
fis she talked, "because. Hrother "Guy,
folks can be good that is, not dj naugh
ty things and still God won't love them
unless they I dou't know what, 1 wish
I did."
Guy drew her nearer to him, but to
that childish yearning for knowledge he
could not respond, so he said:
"Who taught you all this, little one?
not your mo! her, surely."
"No, not mamma, but Miriam, the
waiting maid we left in Hoston. She
told me about it, and taught me to pray
different from mamma. Do you prav,
Brother Guy?"
The question startled the young man,
who was glad his coachman spoke to him
just then, asking if he should drive
through Devonshire village, or go direct
to Ilonedale by a shorte rroute.
They would go to the village, Guy said,
hoping that thus the doctor might be per
suaded to accompany them. They found
the doctor at home and willing to go
with them. Indeed, so unnefved had he
become listening for the first stroke of
the bell which was to lie raid the death he
deemed so sure, that he was on the point
of mounting his horse and galloping off
alone, when Guy's invitation came. It
was five miles from Devonshire to Ilone
dale, and when they reached a hill which
lay half way between, they stopped for
a few minutes to rest the tired horses.
Suddenly, as they sat waiting, a sharp,
ringing sound fell on their ears, and
grasping Guy's knee, the doctor said, "I
told you so ; Madeline Clyde is dead."
It was the village bell, and its twice
three strokes betokened that it tolled for
somebody youthful, somebody young, like
Maddy Clyde. Jessie wept silently, but
there were no tears in the eyes of the
young men, as with beating hearts they
eat listening to the slow, solemn sounds
which came echoing up the hill. There
was a pause; the sexton's dirgelike task
was done, and now it only remained for
him to strike the age, and tell how many
years the departed one had numbered.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight, nine, ten." Jessie counted it
aloud, while every stroke fell like a
heavy blow upon the hearts of the young
men, who a few weeks ago knew not that
such as Maddy Clyde had ever had exist
ence. How long it seemed before another
stroke, and Guy was beginning to hope
they'd heard the last, when again the
dull, muffled sound came floating on th
air, and Dr. Holbrook's black, bearded
lip half quivered as he now counted aloud,
"One, two, three, four, five."
' That was all; there it stopped; and
vain were all their listenings to catch an
other note. Fifteen years, and only fif
teen had passed over the form now for
ever still.
"She was fifteen," Guy whispered, re
membering distinctly to have heard that
number from Maddy herself.
"I thought they told me fourteen, but
of course it's she," the doctor rejoined.
''Poor child, I would have given much
to have saved her."
Jessie did not talk ; only once, when
she asked, Guy, if it was very far to
heaven, and if he supposed Maddy had
got thpre by this time.
"We'll go just the same," said Guy. "I
will do what I can for the old man ;"
and so the carriage drove on, down the
hill, across the meadow land, and past a
low-roofed house whose walls inclosed the
stiffened form of him for whom the bell
had tolled, the boy, fifteen years of age,
who had been the patient of another than
Dr. Ilolbrook.
Maddy was not dead, but the paroxysm
of restlessness had passed, and she lay
now in a heavy sleep so nearly resembling
death that they who watched, waited ex
pectantly to see the going out of her last
breath. Never before had a carriage like
that from Aikenside stopped at that hum
ble cottage, but the neighbors thought it
came merely to bring the doctor, whom
they welcomed with a glad smile, making
a way for him to pass to Mad ly's bedside.
Guy preferred waiting in the carriage un
til such time as Grandpa Markham could
sieak with him, but Jessie went with the
doctor into the sick room, startling even
the grandmother, and causing her to won
der who the richly dressed child could
be.
"Dying, doctor." said one of th wom
en affirmatively, not interrogatively ; but
the doctor shook his head, and holding
in one hand his watch, he counted the
faint pulse beats as with his eye he meas
ured off the minute.
"There are too many hre," he naid
"She needs the air you are breathing,"
and in his (singular, authoritative way,
he cleared the crowded room of the mis
taken friends who were unwittingly
breathing up Maddy's very life.
All but the grandparents and Jessie;
these be suffwd to remain, and sitting
down by Maddy, watched till the long
eh-eu ended. Silently and earnestly the
aged couple prayed for their darling, ask
ing tint, if possible, she might be spared,
and Go I heard their prayers, lifting, at
taut, the heavy fog from Maddy's brain,
and waking her to life and partiul con
sciousness. It wn Jessie who first
caught the expression of the opening eyes.
and darting forward, she exclaimed
"She's waked up. Dr. Ilolbrook. She
will live."
Wonderingly Maddy looked at her, and
then as a confused recollection of where
they had met before crossed her mind,
she smiled and said :
"Where am 1 now? Have I never come
home, and is this Dr. Holbrook's otlice?"
"No, no; it's home, your home, and
you are getting well," Jessie cried, bend
ing over the bewildered girl. "Dr. Ilol
brook has cured you, and Guy is here,
and I, and "
"Hush, you disturb her," the doctor
said, gently pulling Jessie away, and him-
eif asking Maddy how she felt.
She did not recognize him. She only
had a vague idea that he might be some
doctor, but not Dr. Ilolbrook, sure; not
the one who had so puzzled and tortured
her on a day which seemed now so far
behind. From the white-haired man
kneeling by the bedside there was a burst
of thanksgiving for the life restored, and
then Grandpa Markham tottered from
the room, out into the open air, which
had never fallen so refreshingly on his
tired frame as it fell now, when he first
knew that Maddy would live. He did not
care for his homestead ; that might go,
and he still be happy with Maddy left.
Hut He who had marked that true dis
ciple's every sigh, had another good in
store, willing it so that both should come
together, even as the two disappointments
had come hand in hand.
From the soft cushions of his carriage,
where he sat reclining, Guy llemington
saw the old man as he came out, and
alighting at once, he accosted him pleas
antly, and then walked with him to the
garden, where, on a rustic bench, built
for Maddy beneath the cherry trees,
Grandpa Markham sat down to rest.
From speaking of Madeline it was easy
to go back to the day when Guy had
first met grandpa, whose application for
money he had refused.
"I have thought better of it since," he
said, "and am sorry I did not accede to
your proposal. One object of my coming
here to-day was to say that my purse is
at your disposal. You can have as much
as you wish, paying me whenever you
like, and the house shall not be sold. Slo
cum, I understand, holds the mortgage. I
will see him to-morrjw and stop the whole
proceedings."
Guy spoke rapidly, determined to make
a clean breast of it, but grandpa under
stood him, and bowing his white head
upon his bosom, the big tears dropped
like rain upon the turf, while his lips
quivered, first with thanks to the Provi
dence who had truly done all things well,
and next with thanks to his benefactor.
"Ulessings on your head, young man,
for making me so happy. You are wor
thy of your father, and he was the best
of men."
"My father did you know him?" Guy
asked in some surprise, and then the story
came out, how, years before, when a city
hotel was on fire, and one of the guests
in imminent danger from the locality of
his room, and his own nervous fear which
made him powerless to act, another guest
braved fearlessly the hissing flame, and
scaling the tottering wall, dragged out to
life and liberty one who, until that hour,
was to him an utter stranger.
Pushing back his snowy hair, Grad
father Markham showed upon his temple
a long, white scar, obtained the night
when he periled his own life to save that
of another. There was a doubly warm
pressure now of the old man's hand, as
Guy replied, "I've heard that story from
father himself, but the nameof his pre
server had escaped nie. Why didn't you
tell me who you were?"
"I thought 'twould look too much like
demanding it as a right too much like
begging, and I s'pose I felt too proud.
Pride is my besetting sin the one I pray
most against."
Guy looked keenly now at the man
whose besetting sin was pride, and as he
marked the cheapness of his attire, his
pantaloons faded and short, his coat worn
threadbare and shabby, his shoes both
patched at the toes, his cotton shirt minus
a bosom, and then thought of the hum
ble cottage, with its few rocky acres, he
wondered of what he could be proud.
Meantime, for Maddy, Dr. Ilolbrook
had prescribed perfect quiet. Even Jes
sie was hot permitted to stay, though
Maddy clung to her as to a dear friend.
In a few whispered words Jessie had told
her name, saying she came from Aiken
side, and that her Hrother Guy was there,
too, outdoors, in the carriage. "He heard
how sick you were at Devonshire, this
morning, and drove right home for me to
come to see you. I told him Of you
that day in the office, and that's why he
brought me, I guess. You'll like Guy.
I know all the girls do he's so good."
fticit ano weary as sne was, and un
able as yet to comprehend the entire
meaning of all she heard, Maddy was con
scious of a thrill of pride in knowing that
Guy Remington, from Aikenside, was in
terested in her, and had brought his sis
ter to see h-r. Winding her feeble arms
around Jessie's neck, she kissed the soft,
warm cheek, and said, "You'll come
again, I hope."
"Yes, every day, if mamma will let me.
I don't mind it a bit, if you are poor."
"Tut, tut, little tattler V and Dr. Ilol
brook took Jessie by the arm. "What
makes you think them poor?"
In the closely shaded room Maddy
could s-e nothing distinctly, but. she
heard Jessie's reply: "Hecause the plas
tering comes down so low, and Mad. ly's
pillows are so teenty, not much bigger
than my dolly's. Hut I love her; don't
you, detor.'
Through the darkness the doctor caught
the sudden flash of Maddy's eyes, and
something impelled him to lay hi cool,
broad band on her forehead, as he replied.
I love all my patients;" then, taking
Jessie's arm. be led her out to where Guy
was waiting for ber.
CHAPTER VII.
Had it not been for the presence of
Dr. Ilolbrook, who, accepting Guy's In-
vitntlon io tra, rode back with him to
Aikenside, Mrs. Agnes would have gone
off into n passion when told that Jessie
had been "exposed to fever and mercy
ktuws what."
"There's no telling what one will catch
among the very poor," she said to Dr.
Ilolbrook, as she clasped and unclasped
the heavy gold bracelets flashing on her
white, round arm.
"I'll be answerable for any disease
Jessie caught ut Mr, Markham's," the
doctor replied.
"At Mr. Who's? What did you call
him?" Agnes nsked, the bright color on
her cheek fading as the doctor replied:
"Markham an old man who lives in
Ilonedale. You never knew him, of
course."
Involuntarily Agnes glanced At Guy, in
whose eye there was, as she fancied, a
peculiar expression. Could it be he knew
the secret she guarded so carefully? Im
possible, she said to herself ; but still
the white fingers trembled as she handled
the china and silver, and for once she
was glad when the doctor took his leave,
and she was alone with Jessie.
"What was that girl's uame?" she ask
ed ; "the one you went to see?"
"Maddy, mother Madeline Clyde. She's
so pretty. I'm going to see her again.
May I?"
Agnes did not reply directly, but con
tinued to question the child with regard
to the cottage which Jessie thought so
funny, slanting away back, she said, so
that the roof on one side almost touched
the ground. The window panes, too,
were so very tiny, and the room where
Maddy lay sick was small and low.
"Yes, yes, I know," Agnes said at last,
impatiently, weary of hearing of the cot
tage whose humble exterior and interior
she knew so much better than Jessie her
self. But this was not to be divulged ; for
surely the haughty Agnes Remington,
who, in Boston, aspired to lead in society
into which, as the wife of Dr. Reming
ton, she had been admitted, and who,
in Aikenside, was looked upon with envy,
could have nothing in common with the
red cottage or its inmates. So when
Jessie asked again if she could not visit
Maddy on the morrow, she answered de
cidedly : "No, daughter, no. I do not
wish you to associate with such people,"
and when Jessie insisted on knowing why
she must not associate with such people
as Maddy Clyde, the answer was : "Be
cause you are a Remington." It was all
u vain that Jessie, and even Guy him
self, tried to revoke the decision. Jes
sie should not be permitted to come in
contact with that kind of people, she
said, or incur the risk of catching that
dreadful fever.
So day after day, while life and health
were slowly throbbing through her veins,
Maddy waited and longed for the little
girl whose one visit to her sick room
seemed so much like a dream. From her
grandfather she had heard the good news
of Guy Remington's generosity, and that,
quite as much as Dr. Holbrook's medi
cines, helped to bring the color back to
the pallid cheek and the brightness to her
eyes.
She was asleep the first time the doc
tor came after the occasion of Jessie's
visit, and he did not awaken her ; but
for a long time, as it seemed to Grandma
Markham, who stood very little in awe of
the Boston doctor, he watched her as
she slept, now clasping the blue-veined
wrist as he felt for the pulse, and now
wiping from her forehead the drops of
sweat, or pushing back her soft, damp
hair. It would be three days before he
could see her again, for a sick father in
Cambridge needed his attention, and af
ter numerous directions as to the admin
istering of sundry powders and pills, he
left her, feeling that the next three days !
would be long ones to him. When, at .
last, he was about starting to visit Mad
dy aga'i, he puzzled his brains until they
fairly ached with wondering what he
could do to give her a pleasant surprise
and show that he was not as formidable
a personage as her past experience might
lead her to think.

Stranger's Appetite.
A waiter who always endeavored to
give the best iossible service for his
customers supplemented an order to
the kitchen attendants with the re
quest for "a little extra in each dish."
"They didn't ask me for an extra al
lowance," he said, "in fact, they didn't
know enough to ask for It, but I could
see that their appetites would be equal
to the supply. That Is because they
are titransrers here. Newcomers in
any restaurant or boarding-house al
ways eat more than the old-timers.
Everything has a new flavor and
whets their appetites. It is nothing
new for customers ivho are Just get
ting acquainted with a place to eat
as If they had been starved for a
month. As a matter of fact, they
have fared quite well ; It's the change
that makes them so voracious." Clil

Italaino- Pigeon.
It Is not only In congregations of
quadrupeds, such ns hogs, cattle, horses,
etc., that we often find particularly
vicious sieclineii9 ; we also come across
them In flocks of poultry, among hens,
turkeys and even pigeons. There are
bullies and brutes In the pigeon as
well as human family. A male pigeon
that is disposed to make himself a
nuisance In fighting other old birds and
killing squabs might as well be re
moved from the loft. If this is not
practical, clip his wings and provide n
nest for the pair on the floor.
For a mating pen get a box and put
perpendicular slats on the front and
through the middle. It should be large
enough to make each apartment 12 or
15 Inches square, and one of the slats
or dowels In the partition should be
movable. The food and water vessels
may be hung on the partition so that
both birds may use them in common,
If out of sight of their old mates it will
not take more than two or three days
for them to unite. The movable slat
can then be taken away, and if the
mating is permanent they may be turn
ed into the loft to find a nest
Feeds for Pigeons We like whole
wheat best of all grains for pigeons.
I Hut there are many other grains which
pigeons like and thrive on, among them
common peas, .barley, buckwheat, cow
peas, soy beans, English horse beans,
the various kinds of vetch, broom corn,
sorghum seed, millet and many others.
A variety Is, of course, always relish
ed. Corn Is n good feed when given In
moderate quantities, especially during
summer, and not as an exclusive diet.
Pigeons also learn to eat boiled pota
toes and other vegetables, soft mash,
such as we give to the hens, etc. For
really fine, plump, fat squabs, wheat
Is hard to beat.

three feet high. The front and bottom
are removed. Two strips are nailed
perpendicular on the front corner, pro
jecting a foot below the bottom of the
box. This raises the front and gives
the roof the necessary pitch when fac
ing a downhill iosition. Two strips
; nailed on each side form a support for
porches which are fastened together
by crosspleces so all 'may be removed
at one operation to be sprayed.
We move this coop twice a week, and
It Is always clean and fresh. The
open front and bottom seem a little
riskv. considering the possibility of
wandering cats, rats or weasels. Hut
we are willing to run some risks If we
can fill our own and customers' pens

Thorough and frequent cultivation Is
regarded by many as the best mulch
for spring, summer and fall, which In
duces the roots to seek food In every
direction, thereby becoming more num
erous and deeply lmledded, as well as
going further beyond the penetration
of cold in winter. In this condition
it Is only In climates where the cold
is severe that a covering of straw or
other bulky material Is required. Such
coverings should be removed as early
In spring ns the season will permit,

Is such as to permit of Its use. Even
In the fall a thorough stirring of the

PrFaervinir Mrnli,
A method of preserving meat has
been brought out In France by IT. do
Lapparent, which seems to have met
with considerable success. It can be
also applied on a small scale for
household purposes, says the Scientific
American. Thojirinclple consists in
exposing the meat to sulphurous acid
fumes. By burning a small amount
of sulphur In a receptacle containing
the meat hung up In place it can be
preserved for several days, even In
summer. There is no taste left from
the sulphur fumes, and there seems
to be no danger to health. Such n
method can be used also on a largo
scale for preserving meat for army
use, as It Is quite simple and easy to
"PPly In practice. From experiments
made on a large scale it appears that
the meat fumigated with sulphur did
not contain more than 22 grams (340
grains) of sulphurous acid gas per 100
kilograms (220 pounds) of meat, which
Is on the order of ten thousandths.
The meat should be fumigated as soon
as possible after killing, and prefer
ably on parts which have no cut bones.
Lean meat Is found to keep best. To
preserve It for several months meat
can be Inclosed In vessels full of car
bonic acid gas. It has the appearance
of fresh meat, nnd its taste Is not
changed after cooking. In England Mr.
i-aseanes Scott proposed a method
which consists In immersing the meat
In a solution of bisulphite of lime.
Color of EsK-a.
At the California Agricultural Ex.
perlment Station, the chief object in
making a chemical examination of
brown-shelled and white-shelled eggs
was to determine whether there Is any
superiority of one over the other as
to quality. The test shows that the
shells and their color have but slight
effect on the food value of the eggs.
It has been said by some that the
brown eggs are richer than the white
ones, but this statement is not borne
out by a chemical analysis, and the
physical examination proves that the
main points of superiority, though
slight, are possessed by the white eggs.
The minute differences that are found
between the two groups are exceeded
by variation between varieties within
the same group. It may be stated that
there are practically no differences so
far as the food value Is concerned be
tween white-shelled and brown-sheJ ed
eggs.

The most frequent troubles with
ducks and geese Is vertigo. They drop
down on their feet or fall on one side
suddenly, at times recovering as sud
denly or dying Immediately. This hap
pens only when ducks or geese are fed
too much grain. The best prevention is
to make their feeding ground a pas
ture, where the grass is short but abun
dant, and let them get more of their
subsistence for themselves. They will
require but little food after warm
weather comes, as they are then well
over the laying period, becoming non
producers. The nonprodticers should
have no grain. There Is n saving In
expense and there will be fewer losses
occurring from diseases. Poultry

A Chicken Village.
On the road from East Auburn to
Turner there Is a novel sight, a chicken
village, it may be termed, for at the
side of a well-kept farmhouse there is
a village of perhaps a dozen little white
peak-roofed houses, and the hotm
nearest to the road Is built to repre
sent a church. The steeple Is as per.
feet as if the tiny building were renlly
intended for a place of worship. These
miniature houses are nothing more or
"less than chicken coons, yet so per
fectly is everything arranged that the
passer-by might, at a first glance, think
it a "play town" belonging to some

What will appear very interesting lo
many people here is the article taken
from a New York daily paper, giving a
simple prescription, as formulated by a
noted au hority, who claims that lie
has found a positive remedy to cure
almost any ease of backache or kidney
or blplder derangement, in the follow
ing Bimple prescription, if taken before
the stage of Bright's disease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound ryrup iSareaparilla, three
ounces. Shake well in a bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
A well known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, Etated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cott from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixtuie would be put up if acked to do
so. He further stated that while this
prescription is often prescribed in rheu
matic afflictions with splendid Jesuits,
he could see no reason why it would
not be a splendid lemedy for kidney
and urinary troubles and backache, as
it has a peculiar action upon the kid
ney structure, cleansing these most im
portant organs and helping them lo sift
and filter from the blool the foul acids
and waste matter which caune sickness
and suffering. Those who Buffer can
make no mistake in giving it a trial.
