There were upon the table some rolls of i-ornmorj doth. "Mr. Ogroflf Is apparently a tailor." hazarded Kasion iti a conversational way. "Yes." she answered, with a short laugh, "a very cheap one." "lie j upstair in the cutting-out room." she continued, with a twinkle in her childish eye. "I m1i:i II tell him." Kaston tod looking at the curtained d.tor after she had closed it.

"Well'r" be aid, a.sthniatically, at length. "Not a word," replied I'astou ; "and you 7" The man shrilled his heavy shoulders. "Not a word. I have written to you all that I heard. I wrote on the fifth of My; have you destroyed the letter?" "Yea burned it." "Well!" ejaculated the Russian, mis uinjf the word. "I heard." he continued "never mind how that they all got away, in good health, at the proper time that is, in the early numuier of the year before lar. They were followed, hut they dcHtroyed all the horses ami loaU as they went, and the pursuit was necessarily jriven up." "Since that," inquired Huston; "not a word V" "Not a word." "There has In-en no semi-official ac count of the matter in the newspapers?" "No; it has been hushed up. The of ficial report is that certain exiles and prisoner escaped; that they were pur ttued by Cossacks, and that the chase was only Km'" up when their death by starvation was a moral certainty." "And," unid K.istoii, "are they at ruck out of the list?" "Yes; they are struck out." "I am coins to hxk for them," an nounced Knston, after a pause. Th Ilussian raised his flaxen eye brows. "Ah! I understood that you were con demned by the doctors." "No, not condemned; they merely said. 'If you o, it will kill you.'" "And still," naid the Russian, calmly, "you ico." "Some one must. You cannot you are too fat. I am Koing by land," continued the American. "I leave Petersburg to morrow morning." Ogroff rose from his chair. "You must go now," he said.

These words were spoken by the mere .etnnant of a man to a solitary compan ion while lsth looked out peered through the twilight on death, lie who spoke crouched in a singular way on the hard snow, supporting himself on one fur-chid arm. lie could not stand, for he had but one leg. The other had been cut oft' Just above the knee a recent amputation, rudely tied with rope, was stained a deep, Miiggestive color. Ilis face was u horrid night to look upon, for here and there In the pasty yellow flesh were deep in dentations of half healed sores, the re Hiilt of frost bite. One eye was quite closed by a swelling which deformed the features and drew them all up. He spoke in a mumbling way, as if his tongue were swollen or diseased, and the language was most dramatic of all tongues Russian. His companion, a short, thick-set man, stood beside him; but he stood weakly, and the terribly sunken lines of his cheek told a story only slightly less horrible than thut depicted by the face and form of the cripple. Roth faces alike bore that ctrange dry look which tells unerr ingly of starvation. Witliin a few yard of the two men, and Ccrsulves MERHIMAN it their l.nks. 1 lit.

There was a pause, and then the crip ple Sergius Pa l.kxki sMke again: "Of Miirse." he said, almost unintel ligibly, "we have fail.il; but still our failure may teach others, and we hav kept it sivref. Those who want to know will never know. They will always lu in im.iTtninty as to whether we have escapul and are living hidden in America, in Kurope, perhaps in Russia. We shall ls more terrible, doctor, dend than alive." "I hoe so." "I. at all events, shall be, for you say that I could not live a wvek in a warm climate. This leg of mine Is less painful to-day: perhaps it is healing." "No. Pavloski; I have told you a doz en times it is not healed, it is only frozen. It can never heal. The moment it thaws you will die." A sickly smile passed across his un sightly features, and there was silence for a time the (l-tithly expectant silence of the far Xorth. At length Pavloskl raised his mittened hand and extended i: outward like the needle of a compass. "I wonder," he mumbled, "if Tyars 'a out there. "I wonder," said the doctor, "why you intrusted this to an Knglishtnan." "If I had the whole world to choose from. I should not har selected another man." said Pavloski ; "but there was no choice in the matter." I stipose." said the doctor, with an ill-concealed sneer, "that he has turned br.k." 1 will swear by St. Paul that he has not done that ! 'Then where is he?" 'Iad!" was the answer. "If Claud Tyars had Iweu alive, he would have come. He is not here, therefore he is dead! Ouch'." lb- stopped and fell back fainting with pain. In his excitement he had moved, and allowed some of his weight to rest upon the raw stump of his leg. In a se- ind the doctor was kneeling on the snow be,i,e him, raising his head, touching his lips with snow. It was a poor restora tive, but there was nothing else at hand. One cannot offer to a dvinic man even the temlerest piece of an old sealskin mitten. Without waiting for consciousness to return, he attempted to lift the cripple, intending to carry him witliin the little snow hut, but the movement brought back Pavloski's failing senses, and he shook his head in token that he wished to be ft where he lay. "Xo," he said, after gasping twice for breath; "I would rather die out here." The diM-tor's bare hand crept within the tattered sleeve toward the pulse. He aaid nothing. There was nothing fo say. "I do not want." continued Pavloski brokenly, "to see their faces. I brought them here. It is my fault. I supixwe the good God will know how to revenge all this. If they the Romanoffs the Czar had twenty lives, and we could take them all we might pay the debt; but they hare only one life to take; that would le too short a punishment. Gol will know how to do It will He not, loctur?" Yes," said the sweet, deep voice of do the doctor, "iod will know how to it." "Pray," said the dying man, pray to Him to do it well !" Then his head fell back and he breathed regularly and soft I v. Rut this was nut the end. Presently the blackened lips began to move, and lie spoke in quite lifferent voice so different as to startle his listener. It was soft and even, as if recounting a dream not long dispi-Ui-il. "It is not yet a year ago," he said. There were seven of us four Russians, two Kiiglislimen, iind an American. Four Russians, two Knglishmen and an Auieri- aii what a strong combination ! The Russians to go into action on land, the Knglishmen on the sea, and the sharp witted American to watch and plot and heme. I rememls-r the last time we met as at Kaston's house. Two of us are lead, and I am nearly dead. Tyars and Grace where can they be? They are out there, doctor, in front of us to the north. I I shall go ami meet them." The lips closed with a sudden snap, and the doctor leaned eagerly forward. Ser gins Pavloski was dead. The survivor rose to his feet. It had begun to snow gently and in large flakes a snow that would cover the ground to the depth of twelve inches in half that number of hours. As it fell it gradually covered the lead man, even to his face and eyes, which were already cold. Presently the doctor moved a little, and. turning slowly round, scanned the near horizon, lie could not see the pack Ice now, for tne snow was mowing in rrom the north, wreathing and curling as it a me. Then this lone man moved toward the snow nor, unu eutereu it on ins nanus and knees. He took no notice of the. lead one soon gets accustomed to them but fumbled ill. out among the baggage led up in one corner. In a dull, stupid way he realized the. rcKpon.sihilitiin of his position. He drug ged two of the sledges out of the hut, and witli a hatchet broke them up. Then he look the two strongest pieces of each the cross-bars and bound them securely together, thus forming a rough pole. Thi he erected on a little mound where the snow was thin, building it up with such debris a he could lay hand upon. It stood up gauntly, almost the only object within sight that was not white. It wa a mere pole, the thickness or a mail wrist, and yet it was probably visible ten mile off against it gleaming surround ings. It would be good," ha mumbled, "to be warm once more Just once." And he piled up the wood in a Hubs heap. He crawled into the hut and pres ently returned beurlug a good ched tiu l-och; -I.-.! "Si-iritns." ITe poured th on : nit s .. -! ; he i .1 an.

Si range to say. his eyes finished their Inspection by looking up to heaven. The great snoxv-elonds were rolling south, Itearing in their hug.-, rounded tmsoms the white pall to cover a continent for many months to come. Rut this man seemed to be linking beyond the clouds, seeking to penetrate the dim ether. He was not looking at the sky, but into heaven. At last he gave a contemptuous little shrug of the shoulders, full of a terrible mean ing. The next moment he sought for something in the inner mi ket of his fur tunic. There was a gleam of dull, rusted metal, and he raised his hand toward his open mouth. At the same instant a sharp report broke upon that echoless silence, and a little puff of white smoke was bor southward on the breeze, (To i continued.) EARTHQUAKES IN CARIBBEES.

SlalUlnic Wild (ifoic In n number of counties lying on lsth sides of the Sacramento River, in the central jHiitiou of California, the farm ers are greatly harassed every winter by the depredations of countless Hocks of wild goose, which swarm over the broad grain fields and destroy the young, sprouting grain stalks. Indeed, so serious has this annual Invasion be come that nearly all the large farms have employes who regularly patrol the Holds, and do noticing else but keep the feathered js'sts on the wing. One of the most novel blinds or stalk ers ever used in that section, or any other, for the punsse of destroying the geese, is that of a Colusa fanner who lives on the bank of the Sacramento. He has a big red steer which he linn trained to stalk geese. The steer walks round a Hock of geese In an ever de creasing circle, his master, armed wltii a repeating shotgun, walking Is-slde him, but on the farther side from the (lock. The. geese have become so used to seeing niilmals grazing near that they pay no attention to them; so the fann er Is enabled to get xvlllilu shotgun dis tance and pour a broadside Into the (lock while It is feeding on the ground, and two more shots before the birds are out of range when they rise.

The establishment of creameries has done much to put the dairy business on a stable and protlt.ihlc basis, as well as to provide consumers with a uni form quality of good butter. The in troductloii of the hand separator, by enabling the farmer to feed skim tnllk In prime condition and minimizing transportation exHusc, has also d ne much for the business. This has not Ims-u without a drawback, however. In that the separated cream Is not always kept under projier conditions, nnd that delivered to the creameries differs greatly In quality. When all are paid the same rate for butter fat there Is no Incentive to careful preservation of the cream. At the experiment station, Manhattan, Kan., a system of grading cream was adopted aliout two years ago. the prices paid varying with the quality of the cream. This has resulted In great Improvement In the cream de livered and' enables the butter maker to do his part better. RuIIetln No. 1 ."..".

One of the achievements of modern jsitiltry keeping Is that of forcing a hen to doff her old coat, and grow h new one before the time when she would do so naturally. Many liens shed their feathers so late In the season, natural ly, that cold weather overtakes them before they get new stilts, consequently they seldom begin laying before spring. If the moult can 1m? hastened, so that n new coat of feathers Is grown and tile laying can be started before cold weather, the prospect Is good for a supply of eggs during fall and winter. The result Is usually accomplished by cutting off ull meat and mash foods, putting the hens on short rations of grain for a week or so to stop the lay ing, then allow more liberty and feed a full ration high In protein. This loosens the old feathers, which drop off quickly and starts a rapid growth of the new. A liberal allowance of beef scrap Is essential, and linseed meal Is an advan tage. Sunflower seeds are also good during the moult Tape 'Worm In Turkey. The presence of the tapeworm may he recognized through the Indolent, drowsy spirits of turkeys Infested by if, a careful examination of voldlngs will rveal its presence, as those in fested will pass small portions of the worm. Powdered male fern Is an ef fective remedy, and may be adminis tered In doses of from thirty groins to one dram of the powder; or of the liquid extract, fifteen to thirty drops. This should be administered morning and evening before feeding; the mini mum dose to the younger, Increasing the dose as they grow older. Oil of turpentine Is an excellent remedy against worms of all kinds which In habit the digestive organs of poultry. A coiiiinou remedy for the removal of worms from fowls Is one drop of kero sene oil night and morning. This should not be administered to the very young, but may be used with Impuni ty after they art) a few weeks old. lit iir iAAi r A is&W jj1 Ilniiuffoti lorii Test. The cornslalk borer has Infested vo rlons parts cf the county for many years, but has not done great damage In most purls of the corn Isdl. It has begun to appear In Iowa and Kansas In the last two or three years. It Is a large, white, brown spoiled caterpillar which bores Into a stalk of young com. When fully grown It bur rows down Into the taproot, and In the spring transforms to a pupa, from which the adult soon emerges and lays Its eggs on the young corn near the Mi lls. The young larvae hatching from them bore Into the stalk and upward through the pith. When fully grown they Ix.re outwards to the surface, making a hole, from which the moth escapes and trans forms to pupa In the bufroxv. This In sect Is two-broodtil, the second brood feeding on the old stalks, generally be tween the second Joint and the ground, and becoming full grown about harvest time, when they go into winter quar ters. When corn was seriously Infested hist year and the stalks left standing a second Infestation may be oxoctc. this year unless the farmer has raked and burmil. a method which we have always suggested when the cornstalks were known to harbor any kind of In sect ists.

Denaturled alcohol will probably be come another great product of the southern states. It Is claimed that cot toiiscnl oil machinery Is orfeetly adapted to making Industrial alcohol from the is.tato. If this Is successfully proven, the many mttoiisced oil mllla of the south, which are Idle each sum mer season for lin k of material, will be able to operate all the time and keep their employes together. Furthermore, being already equipped with the ma chinery, they will, no doubt, be able to manufacture the alcohol very cheaply. Farmers would also be bcuctllcd by the Immense demand for potatoes that would result. In Cuba alcohol Is pro duced and sold from twelve to fifteen cents a gallon, and it Is said to make an excellent fuel for running engines. It produces no soot or disagreeable odors. When the law recently passed by congress to dctiaturlze alcohol In the I'nlted States becomes (qsTatlve It is cXM'cted greatly to Increase the use of the article both for fuel and other purjsises.

The right way In cutting asparagus stalks, sifys an expert In answer to a question, Is to cut everything clean ur, to the end of the asparagus season, or up to about the time that green peat are Mt to gather. After that we let all the stalks grow, but if we were to cut any, we would remove the little one rather than the big ones. This clean cutting Is also the best remedy for the asparagus beetle, which gives us, some trouble here. As long ns all the stalki are cut, the Insect Is given no chance to bmnl, ami later on. when we stop cut ting, we can spray the plants with the Rordeaux mixture and arsenate of lead combination which makes an end to the beetle attacks for a while, and also checks the rust If that gives trouble, For ridding the stalks of slugs alone, dusting with freshly slaked lime while I the plants are still wet with dew will answer.
