Maud explained as soon as sho could speak that a desperate looking man—a burglar, she yvas certain, and a convict as well by the cut of lii3 hair—had feloniously entered her house a moment before she come ojid, walking boldly into her library, had been locked safely therein by herself. “Tiie windows are nailed down. 1 have been waiting for Perry to open them, so he cannot escape that way,” she concluded. “I expected Arnos on the last train. I don’t ace what is keeping him,” said Mrs.%mead, <f but he has not come yet.” “Neither has Perry, bat perhaps they will come together. Isn’t it dreadful? I daren’t go back with that man in the house. I know by his looks he is a murderer. Our rl hasn’t come, and I’m all alone, h, if Mr. Smead were only here!” “I guess I’ll do just as well,” said Mrs. Smead coldly. “I will take our revolver, and you can bring the stove, lifter, and we will interview him through the door.” “But what good will that do ?

Now, ladies, stand aside,” and Perry made a valiant rush for the library door, which he unlocked and threw open, at the same time presenting arms according to the best manual practice. “Don’t shoot!” cried a familiar voice that trembled, not with fear, but merriment, as Mr..Smead step ped smiiingiv forward and bowed low to Maud. “I am Mrs. Thome’s captive,” he said. . “What does this meanF cned Perrv, his face flaming. “Yes, what does it mean?” de manded Mrs. Smead in the measur ed syllables ox the divorce court -It means,” explained Mr. Smead, •Hpat my wife has not yet learned w box the compass.

Late In the fall, when the weeds have f matured, there is probably no great ad vantage in turning them under. In faot, there may be an advantage in leaving the land unplowed during the winter, since the stubble and we^ds will catch the snow and thus increase the supply of moisture In the soil. But with a wet spring this factor may work to disadvantage. As a rule, fall plowed land gets into workable condi tion earlier than spring plowed land and may be planted earlier in the spring; also it is usually possible to plow the land late in the fall, when It Is In better condition for plowing than tt may be early in the spring. like to “I ex- Who is the GRANT AND PETERSBURG. Where the Confederate Forces Lost u Great Opportunity. Grant determined to cross the James at Wilcox’s Landing, u-u miles below City Point and entirely out of Lee s observation, and to move thence di rectly upon Petersburg with his whole army. He would thus pass in rear of Butler and attack the extreme richt flank of the Confederate tine, which it' was certain would now be field by only a stnaii -force. It inve-'.t-d the perform;!nee of a r-’nt in Uon which had r.c- c- l ,n oe *w;«nied .ml’ might well ho considered hnpossi Me without days of delay.

Cold Har bor, for. while the intronrhmcr.ts at Cold Harbor were the poorest and slightest in which we over fought, the Petersburg lines had been built a year before and were of the best character, with some guns of position mounted and all the forest in front cleared away to give range to the artillery. This, then, was really tho nearest approach to “a crisis” wbich occurred during the war Instead of “success elsewhere.” Giant here escaped a sec ond defeat more bloody and more over whelming than any preceding. Thus the last and perhaps the best chances of Confederate success were not lost In the repulse of Gettysburg uor in any combat of arms. They ware lost dor ing three days of lying in camp, be lievlng that Grant was hemmed to by the broad part of the James below City Point and had nowhere to go but to come and attack us. The entire credit for the strategy belongs, I be lieve to Grant, though possibly it may be shared by his chief of staff, Hum phreys, whose modest narrative makes no reference to the subjeet.-GenersI El P.
