“Flonke, return to the hotel, Mr. Vnneo,*
•he was enying. “It t« getting Into, nud
pupa will miss me."
The men held the bont in nboynnoo by
backing the oar*.
"It is sneh n delightful night," ho re
plied, “nud tho Inst of ninny delightful
ones."
"Jlut I bnvo yet to Ret ready for tho bont.
Wo lenvo nt midnight."
Her o itup min.i released the oars, while
ho allowed th I out to drift in tho ourrout.
Hie voice was tender as ho lonnod to
ward tho girl. Giudo, wvtohinR thorn nar
rowly, was cortniu that she shrank back in
dismay and girlish terror.
“It is our last night hero,” pursued the
man. "Lot us drift n fow moments longer,
while I tell you something that line been
on my mind for over a week."
Into tiro Riil's fare entne a look of aver
sion, dread, auxietv.
“1 beR of you Mr. Vance, to return to
the hotel. See, tho current is drifting us
vory rapidly, and they sav it is dangerous
to \euluro ns far down the stream ns this."
The man's light Jitugli mrovo to calm her
fears, nud tho boat drifted out of iight ol
the two watchers on tho shore.
A sigh, deep nnd earnest, was breathed
by Ginlio ns the lovely p cturo he had
viewed entranced g idod from liiH vision. ^
“Did you ever seo a more lovely faoo?"
he began to bis companion, but interrupted
himself suddenly. "Why, Marcy, man,
what s the matter with you?"
ITo might woll ask tho qnostion in tonos
of nmnzcmont and concern.
With pallid f ico, fierco, burning oyes,
hate-tilled and gleam ng wddly, Ids hands
clinched, his whole frame convulsed with
emot.on, Howard Marry stood a prey to
the most poiRunnt nnd apparent snll’erlng.
“Vnuce!” ho gasped forth tumultuously.
"It is ho, my oid-timo onemy. After nil
theso years—nftor all these yenrs!”
"Marev, Maroy! Why nro you so ngi
tated? Vou know thnt man—you havo ron-
son to fear and dread him. Toll me ’’
Ho did net veooivcnuanswer to his ques
tion. At that ijiotnont a wild scream from
tho river Htnrtled both men.
A second, utterod in nccenli of terror
and idnrm. in a woman's voice, rovived tc
Giulio's mind tho picturo of loveliness
he had just soon.
In a spring ho was on tho narrow path
lining the shore. Hib eyos scannod tho
surface of (ho stream abend, as he dashed
. beyond the enrvo in its bank.
A startling spectacle mot his vision.
Its quick scope took in at a glaneo both
figuroH, in tho moonlit landscape, ho had
•ecu drifting carelessly with tho current a
few moments previous.
The man ho hod heard nddressod as

The boat, which eviilontly had struck

drifting rapidly down tho stream.
And clinging to it frantically, in tho wild
est terror and distraction, was tho beautiful
girl who had so enchanted tho younR
graduate, fnst boing carried to appnrcut
peril and death townrd tho dashing falls ol
tho stream a fow rode below.
fimra tnrs strnngo sceno or peril love was
born.
CHATTER XL
I/OTE’S YOUNO DKEAM.
At a glance Ginlio realized what bad oc
curred, nnd a thrill of indignat.on and eon-
tompt pervaded his soul as he saw that tho
man Vance, thinking only of his own
safoly, mndo no ellort to bravo tho dnngon
of an attempted roscuo of his former com.
panion in the bont.
The quick eye of the young man scan
ned tho sceno comprehensively. Not un
used to nililniio sports, ho discorncd thal
he might aid the imperilod girl without
delay, Tf he con d gain tho central current
of the river down which tho boat was
dnshing.
The stream was here und there dotted
with half-siibmergod rocks us it neared the
falls, and ono ot theso the boat had evi
dently struck.
While the man called Vance had dropped
tlie nnrs to avow It s love, ns Giulio believed,
for Iris companion, tho little craft, unguided,
hail dashed against u rock nud upset.
Tho woman had clung to tho boat; the
man, more fortunate, reached the rock.
Theuco, with susii.usoful oyes nud pallid
face, lie watched liisluto charge lloat to her
deatli either unnblo or too cowardly to at
tempt to s ivc hi r.
“Cling to ihe boat; I will soon roach and
rescuo yon.
Running along Ihe shore, Giulio, anxious,
excited, shouted those words to the torri-
fie.d victim of ihe accident
Apparently she heard him, yet his heart
bent uneasily, as ho feared that sho
would release her hold of Ihe boat.
lie reached a point ahead of tho boat,
nud with only n grim, fleeting glaneo at tho
falls below, dashed courageously into the
river.
Ho breasted the fierco waves determin
edly. Tho current wus now an eddy, and
it almost swept him into danger.
With intrepid calmness ho met the danc
ing bont ns it was home with irresistible
rapidity to tho spot where ho was.
n n llusli, amid the wild vortex of wa
ters- for it was a vortex' now, seething,
dashing, untiammolcd—two faces met, two
pair ol' eyes reflected into the depths of
each other the emotion tho Boene had
evolved.
In the gleam of the one was terror, do-
Bpaii, in the other, liopo, courage, a thrilling
nnxety that seemed to maku peril sweet
amid such appealing loveliness.
Only for a moment, with death swift nnd
terrible shadowi g them, Giulio felt tho
quick influence of a woman’s glaneo, and
his soul fell enptivo to its witchery.
“Cling to me nudyou are saved!"
As he spoke his hand grasped the bont.
As if his voice had power to subdue her
terror instantly, the frightened girl released
her hold of tho boat.
It shot down tlie stream, a dancing
fenther to the view. Her arms enoirclod
tho neck of her rescuer, his hand olasped
her firmly, und then her form t-wayod
downward, but did not go with the ourrent
any longer;
Supporting her firmly, Giulio’s free hand
had grasped a rock just projecting from
the water,
“Marcy—Howard—quiok, this wny. ”
His voice was ringing and imperative as
he shouted the words, his eyes scanning the
bank anxiously.
Between it and the rocks on either Bide
the current he dared not tmst himself to
enconnter, ran fierce and impassable.
He felt the form in his arms shudder
and tremblo.
•‘Courage!” he whispered confidently.
“We are not in clangor any longer.”
Tho form of his college friend had ap
peared on the bank opposite to them.
“Get a rope as quick as you can,” he
shouted to Maroy.
“Can you hold to the rock?”
“Yes, yes, for a Bhort time, at least. Do
not delay."
If is voice was sharp and anxious. His
eyos rested once more on tlio beautiful
face so near his own. In tho while moon
light, for a moment, soul flashed forth a
quick intelligence to soul mutually, and
A deep confidence and trust seemod to
havo calmed the girl's wild fears, and tho
torror had loft her faco ns a few minutes
later a dozen forms lined the shore of the
river opposito to them.
Mnroy bore a Rtout long rope in his
hands, nnd had aroused tho peoplo from the
hotel.
Painfully, excitedly, thoy watched tho
rope thrown to Giulio. Ho socured it about
the waist of his companion, and seized it
firmly with his hand. |
“Hold stendy on the shore," he cried as
a signal.
Willing hands grasped tho rope, ns he
trusted himself onco more to the wavos.
Tiio g ri dinging to iiim, he drifted ltl
length down the stream, and then heat his
wny shoreward.
“Saved!"
Tho word broko in a grateful, happy as
piration from tho young girl's lips ns ho
lifted hor to tho bank.
Her hands seemod to give a thrilling
pressure to his form, hor eyes shone a
deep tondorncss into his own.
Then thoso on shore surrounded her.
Solicitous friends boro hor dripping form
townid (lie hotel. Amiil tho exoitomout
nnd confusion of the mompnt, Giulio
drew to one Ride, directed two of the men
of tho throng to employ I ho ropo to socuro
tho man Vance, and stnrted away as ho
heard curioue inquiries for tho girl's
rescuer.
“Come,” he Bnid to Mnrcy, who stood by
hiR side, “let us got to the hotol.”
"You do not oven wait for thanks."
"Not in this dcplomblo plight,” Intighod
Giulio, lightly, glancing down nt his drip
ping attire. “The girl is safe, and tho mnn
who was coward cnoiiRb to desert hor will
he rescued by tho men yonder."
Ha did not notice tho pallor nnd anxiety
in Morey's face ns thoy penetrated tho tim
ber and made their way toward their hum-
blo hotel.
Ills mind was full of tho event of the
hour; the fnco of tho girl he had saved
haunted him. Ho was strangely silent,
even lifter he had changed hiB attire.
Lost in reverio ovor tho opisodo, the
stngo for tlie steamer landing was an
nounced boforo ho was nwuro of it.
Had ho been alone ho would not linvo
gono with it. An nlmost irresistible im
pulse had como into his mind to delay his
departure until lio had learned tho name of
tho boautiful girl he had so futetully met—
mini no nnii onoo more seen t'nat lovely,
haunting face.
But he felt embarrassed to oxplniu his
motives to his companion to change their
previously formed plnus, nud whou they
reached tho midnight boat ii sigh of regret
escaped his lips as ho thought that lie was
leaving the spot where he hnd met the first
Woman he had ever lovod.
For love had oouie to hist in thoso fleot-
ing moments of peril. It haunted him
now, it mndo him silent and unsociable, it
drove him to utter abstraction, oven amid
the hurry and hustle of the departure of
the boat.
There were a largo number of passen
gers aboard, but ho scarcely uoticod the fnct.
lie paced tho deck absorbed, like a man in
s dream.
Tho sail to the city was like (he continu
atiou of tho feto at the hotel, but to merry
voices and musio and Maroy's occasional
quostionB he was almost insensible.
“The mooulignt seems softer, tho sky
and all earth more serene, siuco I saw that
lovely face," he murmured in rhapsody, as
ho wandered to an unfrequented portion of
tho deok. “I wonder if my unknown
charmor has given oven a fleeting thought
to me sinoo we parted so dramatically?"
lie tried to cheat his longing soul with
light words and a careless smile.
His faoo deepened to surprise nnd
breathless delight a moment later, however.
A fairy form had softly nroused from a
E etisive pose at Iho rail of the steamer as
o enmo to that portiou of the bont.
A blur of doubt, ecstasy, hopefulness
seemed to oloud his vision as a fair young
fuce glanced oagorly Into his own.
He saw its possessor start forward, ra
diant with pleasure at tho meeting, and
then draw back in girlish confusion.
It was Iho girl of the episode at the
river. Evury senso of boing thrilled at tho
hnppy fate that hud thrown them togotlior
again.
“My friend of the river—a friend indoed
amid my poril," murmured the bentitiful
girl, us Giulio lifted his hat iu confused
oonrtesy. “Oh, sir, it wub cruel for you to
disappear before I could thank you—bo
foro my friends could acknowledge tho
debt of gratitude thoy owod you."
There wore actual tears in hor cyoa as
she impulsively extended hor hand. Its
soft olasp unmanned him. It disturbed
every formal expression lie might hove
spoken. Like ono bewitched, ho wnR
mute, ns his eyos wero fixed upon hor
beautiful face.
“Wo trioil to find you; papa sent ovory
whore to loento yon; nnd, amid my torror
nnd uxcitomout, 1 lost sight of you."
He was embnrrnssod at tlio situalion, and
hastened to evade her thauks.
“Was your friend rescued in safety?" he
asked.
Tho fair brow shadowed slightly, tlio
'fair lips curled in womanly scorn.
"Yes, I boliove so. Mr. Vanco has not
been visible siuco Ilia accident except to
papa, tie Knows he wns reckless In ven
turing so near tho fnlls. What a dreadful
adventure!" and sho shuddered in pretty
dismay at the memory of it. “I appear to
hu fated to thrilling escapes, for once before,
ill a runaway, I seemod doomed to death,
whou a stranger savod mv lif» "
Giulio looked curious at the allusion
Tho word “otrouger" reminded him that
they wore mutually ignorant as to tlio iden
tity of tlio other.
Hu was nbout to spank, whon tlio girl’s
fnco brightened vivaciously, und lookod
beyond him at a new comer on tho scono.
“Oh, papa! tips is the gentleman who
saved my life at the river!" sho cried, tu
multuously.
Giulio flushed with a quick conscious
ness of modesty, nud drew aside.
Ho started wildly as the now comor
spoke, in tones of tho piofoundost amaze-
mont and wonder:
"Giulio!"
“Mr. Elliott!"
A cry of surprise broke from tho lips of
tho young girl.
For a moment she stared fixedly, ndmir
iugly at her rescuer, memories of tho past
fixing his iden ity in her mind, nnd then
she blushed confusedly.
“Oh, papa!” hIio murmured, shrinking to
his side timidly, “it is the—tho boy who
saved my lifo whou tho ourringo runaway
occurred.”
“Yes, my darling, and a pretty big boy
now," laughed tho banker. "Giulio. Ma
bel, is it possible that it has only tnkon
four years for yon to forget each other?"
He led them to some camp stools at a re
tired portion of tho deck. A moment Inter
ho overwhelmed him with questrons, nud
expressed his gratitude warmly for his
noblo heroism in bebnlf of the imperilod
Mabel.
“Twice you have saved my daughter’s
life," he said, in tones thrilling with the
doepest emotion. “How shall I ovor repay
your devotion to the child I love?"
Aud then the conversation drifted into
new channels. It had been four years
siuco Giulio had made a brief visit to the
banker’s city mansion during vaontion.
Then Mabel had seemed a more child to
him; now bIio was a beautiful, accom
plished woman.
How her soft, winning ways, and merry,
melodious voioo thrilled him! How tender
wns tho moonlight, how gently quivered
the waves of the lake! "What a night of
nights was that!
It seemod as if all tho world was re
vealed in a now guise of beauty undor the
witching influence of Mabel Elliott’s mag
netic glance.
She listened pensively as her father told
of how they had been at the summer re
sort for a week, and as Giulio explained
iho strange circumstances of his coming to
the place thnt evening.
Then the banker’s talk drifted to busi
ness, and he discussed the future ho had
planned out for his joung JJrotege.
-it ib a new nope tn my rife, » glad Satis-
faction, to see how you hnvo improved the
years at college," bo said, warmly, to
Giulio. “Mv boy, lifo is all boforo you,
nnd friendship and gratitude shall opon its
most fnvorablo benefits to you. A day or
two of rest at tho old mansion to got used
to its ways, and then wo must face tho
enren and responsibilities of husinoss to*
gother, which reminds mo, Mabel, thnt I
must see Mr. Vance about somo buBinoss
boforo ho retires. ”
The fair face fell.
“Is he on tho boat?" ihe asked, in a con
strained tone of voice. “I thought he in
tended remaining behind?"
“Overwhelmed with grief nnd confusion
st Rotting yon into troublo nt the river, he
did not dare to enter into your angry pros-
euoe,” laughed Mr. Elliott. "Poor Vnncol
ho feels very badly out up over the nfl'nir, ”
“And he woll may," ropllod Mabel, sharp-
ly, "for I warned him not to venture where
a boatman's skill nnd a swimmer's courage
might show his deficiency in thoso accom
plishments."
She flashed ft dnzziing glance of min.
oliicvous admiration nt tho bewitched Giulio
ns she spoke.
"Giulio will tnko you to tho oftbin, denr,
when you tire of the moonlight nnd the
water," said Mr. Elliott, ns he left them.
“No, papa, Ginlio—I mean Mr. Elliott,’
she corrected, blushing deeply, “will get mj
shawl if ho will, nnd not bo cruel enough
(o make me lenve this boautiful sceno jusl
yet."

A Kentucky Solomon.
Tho most ludicrous ease ever tried in
a Kentucky court was decided in Hop
kins county tho other dny. In Novum
her Inst Ed Allcndcr tried to clmstiso bis
son Joseph, who was 18 years old.
Joseph fled to the house of J. 11. Dame,
nnd thero fell in lovo with Dame’s
daughter Old mnn Allcndcr tried to
get possession of his son, who refused to
return to him, by suing out n writ of
linbcns corpus. In the meantime young
Allender nnd the girl went to Spring-
field, Tenn, und wero married. Tho
boy’s father hnd n writ served on tho
girl’s fnthcr, and tho enso was taken
into court. Allcndcr wanted tho mnr-
riago annulled nnd tho custody of tho
boy given to him. The court room wns
crowded, and tho evidence wns intensely
amusing. Tlio Judge's decision road:
"Ihe young man Joseph is found
guilty of matrimony, nnd sentenced to
livo with his new wife until separated
by death. Ed Allender, the plaintiff,
is sentenced to lose the work of tho boy
from this time und forevermore."
Hotting out Strawberry Plants.
When the fame can he properly done,
August is a very good time to set out a
good strawberry bed. Of course, gener
ally, the conditions for growing arc
against the plants, but by taking pains
in the work there need he but. little if
any loss. Tlie worst item ngninst set
ting out plants nt this timo is lack of
moisture. The soil is generaUy dry,
which with the hot, dry weather, in
creases the risk. Bo, to insure a sure nnd
good growth, considerable pains must be
taken to do the work in tlio l ight man
ner. My plan is to thoroughly prepare
the bed by ploughing deep nnd
thoroughly. If the soil is DAturnlly rich,
no manure will lie necessary; if not, a
good dressing of well-rotten manure
thoroughly worked into tlie soil will be
found very beneficial. Harrow the soil
until in a good condition. Make long
rows; better five or six long rows than
three or four times ns ninny short ones.
It will pay every mnn that can spare the
space to plant a good large plot. On tho
farm or in the village there is scarcely a
fruit that will be better appreciated than
a good strawberry bed, ana to rniso nnd
cultivate them to the best, ndvnntnge, as
well ns economically, they should bo
planted in long rows. Mark off about
three foot apart. I like to make shnllow
furrows in which to set tho plants, ns it
expedites tlio work. Do not mark off
too many furrows nt once, a;
tho soil should be ns moist ns pos
silile. Of course when tho soil
is moist nnd in the best condition to in
sure a good start, no wntcritig is neces
sary : but if not, nnd tho soil is dry, I
prefer water. In setting out or rather
transplanting any kind of plants, either
iu the spring or fall, I prefer to take up a
few plants at a time, have n shallow pan
or dish, mix In it good rich soil and
water to tho consistency of thick cream,
and into this dip the roots, working to
get as much of the soil to adhero to tho
roots as possible. Take pains not to
allow the stem or foliage of tlio plants to
get covered with it, ns it will bake and
harden in the hot sun and injure the
plants. Snrcnd out tlio roots cnrofully
and then cover with soil, taking pains to
press the soil firmly about the roots. This
is a very important part of the work nnd
neglecting to do this properly is the most
frequent cause of failure. If the weather
is very hot nnd dry, I prefer to water for
three or four days afterwards. If well or
cistern water is used, it should be drawn
up in tho morning nnd bo allowed to
stand in tho sun all dny. I prefer to
water at evening. If tlio soil is moist
and tho weather showery, no water is
necessary. The advantage of setting
out t.iic plants in August is that the
plants make u better, stronger growtli
before cold weather sets in,nnd nrc better
able to stand the winter, and on thnt ac
count will produce a partial crop the
first year after setting out—Fruit Re

Judgo It—, of Alabama, who hnd lie-
longed to every political party known
in litis Slate, and who nevertheless re
tained tho good-will of his fellow towns
men, did so by the exercise of consider
able mother-wit. Ono day after giving
some unpalatable political advice to ids
neighbors, a gentleman said to him:
“ Judge I can place no confidence in
your advice. I remember at the begin
ning of tho war how confidentially you
assured us tlint tlie Yankees would lie
whipped in two months. Wily I heard
you say that we could whip them witli
pop guns!"
“I did make that assertion, replied
the Judge, with dignity, “and I main
tain it still. We could have whipped
them with pop guns, but they icoulxn't

Farm anil Garden Notes.
At least one poultry ration a dny—-In
the morning—should he soft food—
ground grain mixed with water or milk.
The views of experts—scientists, phy
sicians, etc.—are decidedly ngalnst the
use of fermented slops as food for cows.
A farmer in Kentucky keeps tho worms
oil cabbage by sprinkling with two gal
lons water mixed with one gallon butter
milk.
The droppings of sheep are an excel
lent fertilizer for apple trees, their use
greatly stimulating Mia production of
l'ruit.
Carrots are among the, best vegetables
that can be raised for cow feed, increas
ing the milk flow and enriching its
quality.
Keep the, hens that moult their feathors
early, as thoy will begin to lay before
winter. It requires about three months
for hens to moult.
The market, grower is liable to make a
great mistake who overlooks tho neigh
boring homo market, trusting to the
largo towns only.
Blunts may be grown in comparatively
small pots if watered occasionally with a
weak solution of guano, hen’s droppings,
or sulphate of nmmonia,
Sulphur and tobacco leaves burned in
tlie poultry house, the housebeing closed
perfectly tight, will clean out the red
lice, says a contcmyorary.
A fine cow, if treated with indifference
nnd neglect, will yield less profit than a
common cow which is well fed and well
cared for in every respect.
Salt is certain deatli to slugs, which
arc sometimes so troublesome on the open
grounds and in the green-house. A very
slight sprinkling if sufficient.
Fruit to bring good prices nowadays
must be fair and large, while small, in
ferior fruit of any kind is not worth tlie
trouble of sending to market.
A contemporary advises to give tlie
sheep all the clover hay they will eat
after lambing, with meal fa quarter lin
seed), and benefit them greatly.
Ducks are not subject to many diseases
and usually thrive well if they can have
plenty to cat, nnd a clean place to stay in
nights, with n little water for bathing.
Somebody warns against expensive
poultry bouses. They ought, however,
to he warm and sunny in winter, and
kept cleau and well ventilated in sum
mer.
Where young trees are not kept well
mulched, it will pay to keep the surface
of the soil stitred, making it fine and
mellow. This applies especially to tlie
next two months.
Ouc of tlie most potent factors in the
winter-killing of grain is too much hot
water on or iu the surface of the soil.
This fact should be borne iu mind the
coming autumn.
Some of tlie best fruit-growers always
carry pruniugrknives when working
Sandpaper will whiten ivory knife han
dles that may linvo become yellow with
uso or age.
Keep bops tightly pneked in a dry,
close place. By exposure to the air they
lose their flavor.
Some one says that baked ripe, sound
quinces are very nice. Simply wash
them nnd remove tlio blossom. Bake
them in nn earthen dish, with water
enough to cover the bottom of the dish,
adding sugar, and, if desired, spices.
Serve hot with cream.
Two ounces of soda dissolved in a
quart of hot water will make a ready
and useful solution for cleaning old
painted work preparatory to repainting.
This mixture, in the above proportion,
should hu applied whon warm, and tlio
woodwork afterward washed with water
to remove all trucei) of soda.
There is a qualitative test for butter so
simple that any housewife can put it
into successful practice, A clean piece
of white paper is smeared withu little of
the suspected butter. Thu paper is then
rolled up and set on fire. If tho butter
is pure the smell of tlio burning, paper is
rather pleasant; but tlie odor is dis
tinctly tallowy if the butter is made up
wholly or in part of animal fat.
Farmers’ families nlmost universally
during the hot weather in summer use
moro or less salted fish. Freshening
salmon and mackerel in sour milk makes
it very much nicer than when soaked out
in wntcr; also dried fish and salted
trout. Soaked in enough milk to cover
the fish, let it stand twenty-four hours
in tlie milk, then wash in pure water till
the milk is nil out, aud it is n great im
provement, and can lie broiled, fiic.l or
hoik'd to suit the taste, and it pays well
for the trouble in freshening it. Also
salt pork, when desired to fry for break
fast, is much hotter if soaked over night
in sour milk and washed in clear water
before frying in the morning. It is hut
a trifle more work,'und is enough bettor
to pay for the trouble.
