HIS PLIGHTED TROTH
. ,';v..". ii. y. j
An old schoolfellow and gnat chum
of mine wal one Botwrt Lethbridge, and
bia aodot and example- were) anything
but conducive to application. ' He had
500 a year of till own and waa waiting
for a commission in the army. '
- Nearly every shilling of my fortune,
past, : present and ttt oome, had been
snak in paying the premium and stampj
on ttiy articles with Harstona, Mills
Stammers, and so you may suppose that
the companionship of a gay young scape
grace like Bob waa not the wisest that
a lawyer's clerk on nothing a yearoonld
have choseu. It led me into all aorta of
scrapes and eztravaganees, and when
after 1 8 months of racketing about town
Bob Lethbridge was gazetted f nil ensign
in her majesty's tb regiment and or
dered off; to India I found myself in
difficulties nnder which I mou'iied and
groaned for many a year.
Oh, but he was a right down good
hearted boy, was Bob, and if I bad only
even hinted at my troubles to him tbey
would, very soon have vanished, but 1
was tod proud for that, and Bob bad
troubles of bis own at starting, whlon
prevented his thinking about me. ' There
was a girl down in Cornwall, where bia
family lived a clergyman'a daughter
with whom he bad fallen in love, and
be would have married her straight off
and taken hex to India, bnt her father,
a proud man and a devoted worshiper of
Mammon out of tba pulplh bad otner
views for bar and gave my poor old
friend the cold shoulder.
I never could see auy beauty in Bea
trice Penrose, the damsel in question,
and later on I knew ber far what she
was a white blooded little simpleton,
Without a single good quaIitxto make
herself or any one else happy. Iu Bob's
eves.. however, she was perfection, ana
in one of their stolen interviews by the
Severn sea they vowed eternal love and
constancy, and Bob carried with him to.
liucknow her solemn promise never,
never, never ta marry any one else.
Three years passed. v Oue day I bad
just finished preparing a brief in a great
trustee case we bad for trial and waa
the last in the office for 1 waa late
when in came M Stammers with
oonple of deeds in bis band. . ,
' "Oh. Mr. Needle," he aaw, "i am
sorry to detain ' yoa. bat the stationer
has bean moon behindhand with' the
engrossing of this settlement, and, as it
most go off tonight by the mail train.

while I verify it with the oonveyanoer'i

Now. this was mere clerk's work.
and i offered to. do it myself, but he
was always considerate of others' iron
bis and insisted opoo helping. - 8o he
took the draft and read it. while I folt
lowed him on the parchment to aes that
it waa properly copied. ' It was a mar
riage' settlement,' whereby Lord 6am-
mertorj, a nobleman ef 7a years of age,
and tMsaKwsinff anything bat a reputable
character, Settled r0O,OOOF 'npon bis
bride-elect, and this lady waa no otber

"Poor old Bob," thought I, is I
walked borne. "What an awfal blow t
Hew ant i to btwak to ym this raptors
of all your hopes?
And any dlfflcuHy was no
wbens a day or two afterward, I teceiv-
sd a letter from him stating that bia
regiment was ordered home and bidding
St with bia Joy npon bis prospect of
again beholding bis darling, constant
Beatrioel- - " -
Well, sis months passed, and I beard
do mora of Bob; nor indeed bad I moon
time to think a boat him, for poor old
Bones' illness ended In bis death, and I
was appointed, provisionally, managing
4erk in bis stead. The assises wore on
and ws bad several heavy oases for trial
in different parts of the country One
of ' these tbs great eaas -of Oopping
verso Hlggs was- entered for trial at
Exeter, and thither I went by tba Sly
log Dotofaman, with say briefs and wit-
retained Mr. Hugo octng
as my counsel ; -
for want of something better to do
ss I dared not leave tbe place altogether
I trotted Into the crown court, where
tbe priaoners were tried. There sal tbs
(jodge ta his soarle robes. srUb the high
soerur of toe eonnry oy nts sme, ana
befats him three prisoners atandlag la
tba dock a pes their trial for burglary.
I began to chat with some young bar
rhiterswbom 1 knew and waa paying
no attention to the proceedings, when,
ails, a sodden, I beard tbe name of
Lord gozaoserton mmtiraierl by Iks
who was ooodocting the pross-
fannaediately pricked op my
ears and began to listea to tbe eaea.
It appeared that a week before the
burglary Lord Sonitncfcton'hed Rtarned
with hat bride trots their eonUneotaJ
loar aad had taken ee bis abode at bis
roan try seat near Staweroas; that ha aav
Uc1psdpai of tbe festivities which wars
to foUow the wools of tit graod facnlly
plata and her ladyahip's Jewels had aaaBB
broogbt doersj rraca bis Lcavdoo bankers;
that one erf tba priaoaien was a dlaeaud
ed servant, who knew where taoas val
aablss ware krpt; that tbe hooas bad
beaai broken iota aad the whole ti the
silver swept away, and that another of
tbeaocaard waa caagbt in the sot of
climbing down by the trellis work
tbe wall, eksst to the place where aa
selected. Taa
against this fellow, who was indicted
under tbe name of ueorge Mason, seem
ad to be clear enough i that against hia
companions rested npon olrcumatautiai
evidence.
; One of them, named Barker, bad been
seen in company with Mason tbe .day
before the burglary, prowling about tba
park, close to the house, in a suspicions
manner, and tbe landlord of the intr a!
which Mason bad been staying aware
that a man, whom be afterward recog'
nlsed as Baker, called for tbe prisoner.
George Mason, the following night, and
tbey walked oat together in the direc
tion of Lord Summer ton's park. 'Tbe
name of the discarded servant was Ca
re w,. and he bad been taken into custody
in the house of a noted receiver of stolen
goods at Plymouth,. where, oonoealed
under the clothes, in the . copper, that
were apparently waiting to be boiled.
waa found a masa of silver plate, broken
np and partially melted, bat not sum-
cientlyeo as to obliterate the marks
whereby it waa identified as Lord Suin
merton's property. Baker and Oarew
wero defended by coansel, and every
dodge that experlonco" and ingonnity
could devise was made nss of to get
them off and to throw all tbe blame on
Mason.-";!--"rvTr "t! 7""T
,i The dock in the Exeter assize court is
paneled in at the sides and raised a good
height from the ground. I was standing
(n a sort of gangway there is to the
right of it and could only see tbe back
of tbe prisoners' beads, so when I beard
tbe above remark I began to- press for
ward out ot cariosity to see what sort
of looking man this George Mason was.
bar my attention waa diverted by a
rustling of silks, and the next moment
Beatrice, ooontess of Summer ton, es
corted by ber noble spouse, appeared on
tbe bencb and was politely handed into
a seat on the left of tbe judge by tbe
high sheriff. ''-""-. K.t---y y-.s
There she sat, proud and oold hearted
as ever, while tbe judge piboeeded to
sen ten oe on George Mason, who
waa now" alone iu tbe dock, leaning over
the front rail with bia faoe buried In
bis bands In an attitude of despair. He
had stood up bravely during the trial
and while bis companions were receiv
ing sentence, but now be seemed to
have broken down. ' His lordship briefly
recapitulated tbe evidence and observed
thai it was Impossible for any man of
sense to-doubt that be (the prisoner)
was guilty, 'and I should be strangely
wanting in my duty," said tbs Judge,
"If I did not pass upon yob a severe sen
tenoe, and tbe sentence of tbe court is
that yoa be transported over tbe seas
for the term of 80 years. " .
Then tbe convict Mason raised bia
bead and turned, to quit tbe dock, and,
as be turned, bi4eatnres were revealed
to me. Tbey were those of Robert Leth
bridge I
. I. started back In amase and honor,
and a voice betide me exclaimed:
. "Oh, dear, dear, look! That charm'
lug Lady Summerton has fainted. What
a shame it is that there Is not better
Ventilation in these courts I Tbey are
really stifling.
I was coming front the offloe of tbe
governor of the jail, where I had been
to get leave to see my friend, and be
was being escorted from .the place of
detention under tbe dock, when we mot
again under snob awfully changed oir
enmstanoea. ' He reoognlzed me in
moment, turned aside and sprang light-l
ly past me not supposing that I knew
bim into bia cell, wbtch waa close at

' -I followed, and then be turned round
upon me, almost savagely,, demanding
What 1 meant by Intruding upon him.
."Don't yoa think 1 am sufficiently

tone, without Having tne meruit

"Bob, yoa are not guilty. Vou

A faint imlle crossed bis face as I
spoke, but it quickly vanished, and be
answered gravely t
"None of as can tell what we may
become. , You see me as I am.
I bad rushed to bis tide to give bim
my sympathy, to be indignant with him
sgalnsl the conspiracy of whloh I ap
posed him to be the victim, and to see
bim thus standing Dei ore me eooiiy,
without one word of thanks or greeting

' And here bis forced reserve gave

burled bis face in his hands and sobbed
like a little child.
'; Six months afterward, when be bad
tasted some of tbe horrors of his situa
tion, I tried again, and again utterly
failed to make any impression on bim.
v At last the time arrived when, under
regulations of tbe prison, he should be
shipped off to some penal Settlement,
snd, In despair of saving him by other
means, I resolved to see Lady Bummer
ton and appeal to ber humanity, if she
bad any, and implore ber to save my
friend from himself. ' ' -
- 8be had left England shortly after
the trial, having evinced a preference
for foreign life, and waa living In Paris,
not upon, the boat of terms so scandal
said -with ber. lord, ' (And serve him
right, thought 1)
I sought for ber In Paris and found
that in one of bis jealous fits be had
hurried ber off to Lisbon. I followed
on there, but found tbat tbey bad left
in bis yacht for a two years' cruise, and
no' pno knew whore they bad gone.
When I returned to London, I discover
ed tbat the oonviot ship, with Bob Loth-
bridge on board, had tailed two days
before for South Australia. . Bo far all
my efforts had been fruitless.
One day, about two years after his
exile, I was rery busy writing, when
lady in deep mourning was asbered into
my private room, and the first wordt
she said were: . , ; .
' "Oh, sir, something must be done-
do pray tell me what to do for Bo for
Captain Lethbridge."
"Captain Lethbridge, " I replied
verely, for after tbe first moment
of
surprise at being thus abruptly appealed
to I reoogniaed my visitor. "Captain
Lethbridge," I said, "baa been treated
as a felon for nearly three years. It Is
somewhat late now, I think, to inquire
what can be done for bim. "
"Ob, yee,,yea,"jihe cried, "it is so
it is so but you do not know the life
I have been led. I would have changed
place with bim willingly. Look here,
and here, " and she turned up ber sleeve
snd drew back her hair, disclosing two
deep scars, one on ber arm and tba oth
er on ber temple.
"He struck me there for no cause at
all," she said bitterly. "He has often
struck me. If he bsd known about poor
Bob, be would have killed me."
Then sbe told us ber miserable story.
It appeared that, lacking courage to tell
poor Bob of ber falsehood and the ap
proaching marriage into which sbe bad
been lured by the dasals of a coronet,
she bad written to him up to the time
of bis departure from India; that, hav
ing landed at Plymouth, be bad gone
straight to ber father's bouse and there
learned the truth; that, actuated try a
mad desire to see ber once more, he had
betaken himself to Summerton park
that, having seen her In tbe grounds
and not daring for ber own saks to ap
proach her, he wrote a wild, deepen ts
letter. Imploring ber to see him
more, if only to toll bim that aba waa
happy, and if sbe were not so as bs
knew something of ber husband to fly
with him ; tbat by ill lock bs intrusted
this letter for delivery to tbe man Bar
ker, wbo waa prowling about- for bis
own purposes: tbat be received from
him ber answer, in whloh sbe accorded
bim a last interview on the balcony of
her boudoir; tbat sbe bsd parted with
him there about I o'olook ; tbat tbe
alarm of robbers was Dot given until
nearly' I, and tbat, up to tbe moment
when the beard bim sentenced as one of
tbe burglars, the never suspected but
tbat- bs had departed and returned to
his borne. Tbe fact was as I afterward
found that while pressing her to fly
with bim she bad torn herself from bis
side and retired without blddlngblm
farewell and tbat he bad waited, hop
ing against hops that sbe would return,
till the alarm was given, and ha was
captured as before described.
Well, to make a long story snort, 1
took bar straight to the offloe of the
boms secretary, snd after a good deal
ot bother a free pardon was granted to
Georgs Maaou that is to say, her
majesty was graciously phased to par
don an innocent man for having been
wrongfully convicted as a felon.
And the result waa thai Bobert Leth
bridge came home, was reinstated in
hia regiment snd snd married Lady
Vnmmertoo. Tyrone Cotuutailcn.

FILLING THE 8ILO.
Derives Pov SeaHerlnar Bnallasrs In
- - Plaee af Korklnsr and Tramping, u
' Mr. John Gould ot Oblo has been
studying tbe matter of dispensing large
ly with the labor generally . given to
icatterleg and tramping the ensilage in
the pits. - He quiokly oame to tbe con
clusion from practice that both were
largely unnecessary, if the ensilage
wben it went iuto the silo could be
made to fall pretty nearly level upon
tbe surface. The weight of each ton of
A BLOCK KNMLAOB DlSTRIDDTClk
entllage was quite as great a settling
force as a man wbo weighed only about
one-fourteenth as much. As related by
himself in an illustrated article in Ra
mi New Yorker, Mr. Gould's experience
in the matter was as follows: i
-Our first attempt to solve this self
distribution . was a fair success and
pretty nearly dispensed with the labor
of scattering the ensilage. A pyramid
made of light boards 4 feet on a aide at
tbe base and 4 feet 6 inches high was
set on two scantlings placed across tbe
top of the -silo. Over the pyramid a
hopper bos Was placed so tbat the en
silsge must fall upon the apex of the
pyramid, and the slant of it gave tbe
ensilage a shunt wbich sent II to tbe
walls of tbe silo. By partially turning
it tbe corners of ths silo would be
pretty nearly filled, so nearly tbat bat
little fork work was required. Nearly
over tbe hopper a header board was set,
so tbat tbe ensilage, as ft was thrown
from tbs end of tbe carrier, was arrest
ed in its flight snd made to drop iuto
the hopper. . By this means tbs out ears
were not thrown all on one side of tbe
pit, but, dropping upon the apes with
ths lighter stalks, were pretty well
mixed. . ,
Tbs labor of keeping the ensilage dis
tributed was greatly lessened until, tbe
alio was pretty nearly filled, wben tbe
slant would only partially acoomplith
Its mission, and then mors band work
bsd to bs done. By ref erenoe to the first
figure, it will bs seen tbat A is tbe
header board to be plaood in front of
the carrier to make the ensilage fall
into tbe hopper B; , O is the pyramid
resting oa ths two scantlings EE, and
D is tbs silo pit. '
Tbe next dovioe to aooompllsb tbs
work was to take tbe same hopper and
header board, but iu stead of the pyra
mid a "hose" mads of five or six phos
phate sacks with bottoms cat through
and ends sewed together, was fastened
to the underside of tbe hopper. On tbe
lower end of this baggy boss a oord
was attached, and as tbs ensilage came
down tbe shoot a boy leads tbs end of
tbs bag around here and there in silo,
keeping tbe surface level, or sides tbe
highest at tbe walls if so desired, and
tbe grain is left exaotly where it falls.
Aa tbe pit fills a sack it taken off now
and then, and tbe filling proceeds. By
this plan, there Is no lifting or forking
until ths silo is so full tbat there can
bao purrtnBtrrni roe sua
be bo farther fait in the hose. In tb
second figure A Is tbe end of tbe carrier
discharging tbs eat ensilage, I tbe
Beeder board, O tbe hopper and J tbs

EVILS OF. OVERFEEDING.
a ef the Oreataet Danger ef . rooltry
Aside from tbe lice pest, there Is no
greater hindrance to poultry raising
than overfeeding adult fowls, My
friend who raises Leghorns may take
exceptions to- this, and I am willing to
grant them, for there Is but little dan
gor with that variety. They eat, like
wild birds, a few kernels and then take
plenty of exercise. There is about as
muob danger of overfeeding a robin as
tbe wily active Leghorns Tbe big
phlegmatic Cochin, the Brahma and
tbe Plymouth Rock, whloh find plenty
to eat without effort, settle back like
fat aldermen and decline to make any
effort to eatcb worms or bugs, but grow
fat Inside and tumble off the perch with
apoplexy, which tbe poultry keeper
calls cholera, v.
Perhaps , tbe corn crib door ia left
open, and they have a cbauoe to gorge
themselves, and a . packed crop follows,
or t bore may not be a sharp -gravel
stone on tho place, if the poultry ran
bas been picked over hy preceding gen
erations of fowls and they cannot dl
gctt their food, and a vile smelling
bowel disease follows" .This is sure to
be called cholera unless long experience
has made the poultryman wiss or bs is
observing by nature.
Plenty of sharp grit, plenty of clean
oold water, green food and animal food
in the form of bugs and worms, but
not a kernel of grain will bs the bill of
fare for tbe Rocks not sitting or con
fined until late, when a little extra
attention will enable them to pass ths
molting period safely and bs ready for
business when eggs are high. Once a
month in summer will be none too often
to apply Insect powder to adult fowls,
and tbe egg supply will be moreased
thereby. Kerosene on tbe perches twice
a week woll poured Into every crsok
and crevice will belp to banish mites.
The entire lower portion of the fowl's
body should" be well rubbed with powder,-
as the lower tide sometimes fur
nisbes harbor for en arm on nests of lice
while tbe upper portion is comparative
ly free. An examination Is troublesome,
but It is the only effective way to get
rid of the peats. In what condition are
tbe bodies of your bens Take a good
look before you sleep snd yon may
know If tbey are rolling in fat or cover
ed with lice if tbey bsve yellow oombs
instead of red and are not lousy, that
enlarged liver may be present resulting
from heavy feeding or lack of grit and
exercise. It is a good tims to look ths
flock over before tbe cry of cholera
pomes, as summer often brings ait epi
demic of that disease. Ohio Farmer.
. ' Pallet a Layers. -
There is no doubt tbat pullets are
much mors profitable ss layers than old
fowls. It is often wtss to keep out hens
because of their good qualities as breed
ing stock, wben tbey art line In color.
shape, size, etc., but tbey are hardly
ever profitable from tbe standpoint of
the egg baskot for market purposes. It
is often Well also to keep soms matronly
old "biddies" that are reliable aa moth'
era for cbioks, for ths pullets are apt to
be "young and though ties" and will
bars a disposition to neglect maternal
duties, buf as layers simply a pen ot
pullets is not very far from twioe
productive ss the same number ef eld
hen, and on tbe farm where egg pro
duction is sought for no ben ibooid be
kept longer than two years unless for
some other reason than ber egg produc
tion. Another point in connection with
egg production should also be bome la
mind, and that ia tbat only winter pro
duction pars. The time may come, as
it appears to be coming in dairying,
when tbe prices for winter and rammer
will be more nearly equalised, but. just
now It is tbe winter egg that brings a
price, wbils tbs summer egg does not
repay tbe cost of prod action, ev
though the east of production in sum
mer bs smalL Observance of these two
points pullets as Isyers, snd more at
tention to winter produotion will go
far to make egg production profitable.

INSURANCE. 1
. I wish to cull the attention of insurers in Alamance count
to tho fact that-tho Burlington Insurance Agency, established in
1803 by the Into firm of Tate & Albright, Is still In the ring. . .
There is no insuranco ngoncy in North Carolina with bettor
facilities, for placing largo lines of insurance, that can give, low
er rates or better indemnity. Only flint-class companies, in every
branch of the business, find a lodgcmont in my .'office. With i
a practical experience of more
in soliciting a share of tho local patronage,
satisfaction in every instance. Correspondence
all matters portaining to insurance. ' :
I am making a specialty of Life "Insurance and will make
-H to the interest of all who desire protection for their tmilies
or their estates, or who wish to make absolutely safe and profit
