I'll give yon two hoars. Tbe ideal" Yes, tbe queer, daring Ideal That was at t o'clock. An hoar later, witb tbe chance of my lifetime thrust into my bands, I had reached the eity and was in a train on my Way to Peckbam. Short as was tbe time and thrilling tbe occasion, I meant to cajl home first and tell my young wife what a wonderful thing bad happened.

"Why, it's tbo" There be stopped. If I bad made soma dreadful proposal, be could hardly have turned whiter. "No, I I couldn't think of it," be said, and sat down. For a minnte or so I stood there staring at him, and then be turned round. "All right, have yoar whim, man," be whispered. "Let tbe bouse find it out fcr themselves Go on I Hold hard, Strang!" I had just snatched op the trunk, wUb a hoareo "Thanks tor that, sir I" and was opening tbe door, wben be prang up and blurted oat He had a band to bis forehead.

We stood looking at each other; I could hardly play tbe part Without tbem especially in that last famous duel scene, where tbo unknown kuigbt lifts bis viscr and stands revealed as Karl Angel.

'Why, certainly, Mr. Caffyn; rely on that." , I was out, and making back to tbe railway station in a whirl. Imagine I I seemed to be treading on air; I wanted to give u great shout bat it was the time, if over, to keep desperately cool. I had meant to rnn back borne and see Nance there was something more 1 bad to say to her, bat there would only be jast time enough to purchase one cr two little things I must have, snatch a tea, f rcshon my ' memory by a glance through tbe "ones," and tben aud tben prepare to realize and eclipse tbe wildest dream I ever dreamed. For to night I was Caffyn himself and to night I was to play Karl Angel. By 0 o'clock I bad seen Blake. By half First I bad slipped into a dressing room and locked tbe door. At a mlunte to 8, wbou tbe cellboy's voice sounded above tbe finale of tbe orchestra, I step ped out, ready. One of tbe supers, as I passed close, tooched bis forehead. "Good evening, Mr. Caffyn !"

Yes, at that moment I could un derstand what Caffyn foltevery night what it was to be sn idol of tbe people, if only for au hour. "Caffyn.

But it was Nance I wanted to sea Sbe was there in front, and ber eyes would bo swimming with tbeer pride, I knew welL I was making for tbe dress ing room and tut a I suddenly recol lected what 1 bad promised Caffyn.

Then I recollected, and tbe mere re membrance of that mad, vindictive face Wentworth s face brought oblivion again. It must bave lasted a long time, because wben at last I muttered, "Where's Nance?" the tight pressure of two arms round my neck told me that I need not ask again. Nance was there and I had played Karl Angel that night to a crowded boose and the beginning perhaps of some great end bad come for ma "I'm all right, " tbey say I whis pered. "Let me go to sleep now. Yes, it was a night of miracles a chapter of interweaved coincidences. Not a newspaper bad got at the truth that next morning.

CABBAGE CULTURE. Vow Cabbage la Best Grown by the Av erage Farmer Karlr Varieties. "The oabbago is a vegetable which is almost ss important to the average farmer in some of the more closely set tled portions of the country as it is to tho market gardoner. It- is grown by both, bat with tbe difference that now tbat cabbages are grown and sold so cheaply it is farmers who mainly sap- ply tho lute market, while early cab bages are started nndor glass and are sometimes grown . altogether in hot houses where tbey are planted in early winter and made ready by forcing for the spring market . "Only those who bave hothouses can profitably grow the very early cab bagea But there are some early varie ties that can be started in tbo opou ground or in tbe simplest constructed hotbeds and be teady for transplanting where tbey are to grow during some wet weather in Mayor Juuo. " In add! tion to tbe foregoing, Tbe American Cultivator says: - Among these varieties we have found the Early Wakefield and tbe Early Winnlngstadt superior. The Wiuulug- stadt is a good cabbage for both early and late use. Since tbe oabbago worm has been prevalent we know farmers who do not care to grow ouy other va riety than this. It has a conical bead, so bard and its outer leaves so tightly bound together tbat tbo white butterfly which lays tbe eggs ot tbe cabbage worm cannot easily penetrate beneath the leaves, and therefore passos this variety by when there are other cabbages on wniob her eggs may be laid. Bat it is far better to grow several kinds of cab bage and rely on keeping tho cahbago worms in check either by trapping tho white millers tbat lay the eggs, or by depositing fine wheat flour on tbo beads after the worms are batched. Tbe miller is very active, but witb a scoop not, such as naturalists use for catching in sects, a good many millers may be caught in the early morning or wben dew begins to fall at night. With tbe proviso tbat the cabbage worm and its parent are to bo killod or caught, we would adviso always to grow some of tbe Savoy varieties of cabbage. These are all enrly loavod, but thoy ore extremely tender wben cooked and enough better in flavor to amply justify tbe extra troablo it require to grow them. A Substantial Feed Trough. A very strong trough may bo made of sawed lumber, as shown in tbo aooom panying out from Tbo Prairie Farmer. For every three feet length of trough use a plank support 3 feet or feet long, 13 Inches wide and 3 incbos thick. Saw out from tbe middle of each piece NEW JERSEY ROAD LAWS a rr.Kh though. a right anglod, triangular piece witb tbe sides forming a sqaars of the same length. Use boards an Inch thick for tbe sides and nail tbe trough together as usual with tbe triangles sawed oat of the two lncb stuff for cuds. Now sot tbe trough ia tbe angles sawed out, but far enough away from the end piece to nail from the inside of tbe trough into the supports, and put tbe triangle sawed from tbe support fur tbe center, and nail that after cutting enough from the bottom corner to let water run through. Farmers Pleased With tbe Workings of tbe State Aid Law. Ma E. G. Harrison, special agent and road expert of tbe United States office of road inquiry, delivered an address before the recent assembly of tbe League of American Wheelmen on the subject, "What the Now Jersey Farm ers Think of State Aid." His address follows: "The. 1,300 mile of free turnpikes, or permanent roads, as tbey are now called iu tbe, New Jersey state aid act, peak' for .tnemselvek and aro lasting monuments of tbe New Jersey farmers' effort to advnuce their material inter ests aud progress in civilization. The state pay one-third of tbe cost; tbe pe titioners, beiug owners of one-third of i tbe lineal feet fronting on tbe road, pay 10 per cent, and the county in which tbo road to bo improved is located the balance The first annual appropriation by tbe stato was 1 20, 000 and then $75, 000. This was followed by 9100,000, and tbis year thoy aro asking for $300, 000. If this 1 granted, being supple mented by two-thirds more from tbe couutios and local districts, it will make tbo sum to be oipeuded next year $900, -000, which will givo New Jersoy 800 miles of road iu the year. ' This shows what thn New Jersey farmers think of tbe state aid act "Let mo give yon eomoof the benefits derived from good roads constructed un der tbis act: "First. Tho increased loads hauled to market Before tba construction of good roads tho truck market wagons j carried from 40 to 60 baskets drawn by two borses. Tbcse are uow substituted by wagons carrying from 100 to 180 i baskets drawn by tbo same number of homes. Formerly a ton was considered a full load for two borses; now three and four tons are down by two horses on these improved roads. "Second.- Tbo case and comfort in carriage ridiug for business a well as pleasure on theso road. This make a demand for real estate for suburban res idences. "Third. More regular attendance at schools, making it practice bio tooonsol idate smaller schools witb largor ones and establishing higher graded schools in tbe rural distriots.- "Fourth. Churches, lectures, con certs and entertainments in tliooountry, which will sustain and increase tba so cial advantages. "Fifth. Increase of mail facilities and rural free delivery rendered practicable 'Sixth. Tbo freo distribution and colloctiou of book of tbe stato library by wagon servico in rural districts as recommended by the governor. "Seventh.
