OU want anything?'
in a decidedly tersel
tone, was the greeting
old Joel Gringer gavt
the tall young school
master, who stood
fumbling the latch ol
the front gate.
That wasn't th
right way to encourage
the young man, and shrewd Joel Gringei
knew it." He wanted to make him go
through the torture of telling him plainly
that he had come to see his daughter so
that he could put an end td the thing
then and there.
Hin! I I just wanted to know if
Mis3 inn hrn is at home," and the
young fellow relieved, his nervousness by
digging up the gravel walk with his left
toe.
T thought your business was to teach
the children to speak the .English lan
guage, and hero you can't do anything
but hum ana haw. I'm at home, and so
is the Growler there. Anything elsei"
'No, sir," with a loud ahem ; "I was
just going up tha road to Mr. Mason's,
and I wanted to know if the family were
all well -that's all." And the bashful
young fellow seemed to have found his
wits somewhere, for he turned coolly
away.
The old farmer's eyes were not so sharp
as he prided innself they were, or he
might have seen tup flutter of something
white, three distinct timc3,from the nar
rowest opening ia the bli.ads above, and
have guessed; why the young-man was so
easily satisfied. - ,
lie watched the straight, lithe young
rorm until it seemed only a shadow
against Neighbor Mason's barn.
Gone on to Mason's," was his giutf
answer to his wife's questioning look.
"Only wanted to Inquire after the hoalth
of the family. S'pose h6 thinks the dees- I
trick is assessed to pay him for goiu'
round an' doiu' that ha, ha! We'll see
how his fractions will work in this
Louse. Much good it will do him to
talk it over with John Masou, the old "
'Sh !" hi ssel cautiously luto his
ear, and a warning linger told him to
leave uncomplimentary references to tho
neighbor vriih whom he had been em
broiled in a bitter lawsuit, and betweeu
whose farms a "devil's laue'' prevented
auy 30,-n'art 01 J'ne fences unsaid.
"There's Mason's hired man again.
"Well?"
The old mau sent me oyer to say
them there hogs o' yourh's been into the
back eorntield ag'in an' he won't turn
'em out till doomsday nor let me. They're
there yit an making tho interest on
!?d000 fly like sixty that's what the old
man 'lows the aeld'll fetch him. Better
riot take that there pup along, had yet
Hi! wait till lean get out!"
The last exclamation was caused bv
preparations for unchaining tho huge
S bulldog Growler; and Bea Stone made
one leap over the fence.
"Said my sav out. He'n the do's
witnesses enough, I reckon, tothescrim
magc there'll be. Iaws! but there'll be
smash to pay for to night, sure's my
name's Ben Stone."
In a hollow ia the road, not twenty
rods from Joel Gringer's house, the thick
green turf by tho -wayside served as a
cushion for the feet of two restive steeds
that would stamp at the troublesome
flies. The nervy fellows two of the
most tireless travelers John Mason's sta
ble could boast champed their bits rest
lessly and tossed their heads.
Adown the green, thorny breastwork
that defended Joel Oriager'a possessions
from the wayside grazers flitted a slight
figure, crouching and halting, and then
darting swiftly forward toward the little
dell which seemed to be the rendezvous
sought.
'Is that you, Nannie!" a hoarse, ex
cited whisper met her a few rods distant
from the horses.
"Sh ! Yes; but do let us hurry!
I'm afraid every minute those hogs
haven't done jusUce to the obstinacy ol
their nature, and, father "

'And are you sure the preacher un
derstands?
'Sure, darling, he's to be at Brother
Stillwell's -to-night, on his way to the
Kildeer appointment. Now, old . fel
lows, do your best."
Patter, patter! click, click! Neck to
neck and nostril to nostril skimmed the
two fleet coursers, like two well mated
birds of flight.
Away back on the last ridge, a mile
or more away, the moonlight glistens on
something bright a silver plated buckle
or saddle decoration and then-triers.
comes a clear, ringing sound, as when
steel strikes flint.
As the clatter of the hoofs rang down
the road past John Mason's two unusual
night incidents might have been wit
nessed, the glearn of ft light across th;
fields svraying and flickering as though
carried by an excited, unsteady hand, and
a man leaning against the door of John
Mason's stables, whittling a stick and
musing over something which evidently
Dleaseu him much. "lie. uei i never
helped take them out of here. Can'l
prove it by me who's takin to stealin';
h'ain't I been behind the haystack tryin'
to hammer the bung in that barrel?
There's one : consolation ; if them there
horses have to go fur, the've been well
fed an' every shoe is as sound 33 a trigger
ha, ha!"
"He's coming! Oh, hurry, Dick! W
cannot reach Mr. Stilwell's in time;
it's"
Three miles yet, and "
'You, know Fleetwood's gait; Mr.
Mason never had a horse that could out
run him. What shall we do? Oh, ii
only1 we were "
"Married, and I could call you mi
own ; then I would not run a step, but
could defend my right to you in the eye
of the law. - Listen ! what's that ahead?
The Corners ure just down there, yo
kuow, and some one may be coming oi
the cross-road."
That is the direction from which tin
preacher comes. What if it should b;
But no; he's going straight ahead
of us. Yes, there he turns! Whip ur
and let's overtake bun."
A quarter of a mile; half a mile; three
quarters. The sound of hoofs in both
directions are growing distinct.
"Call him, Richard! He any stop.
Oh, if it only is!"
"But your father will hear, too, and
hasten! Hello, there? Wait!"
In a moment the overtaken party was
eeeu, sure enough, to be the very preacher
Ihey were riding hard and fast to find.
But while the situation , was being ex
plained, the footsteps of the pursuing
horse were heard close by, and in a min
ute another Hello!" rang on their ears,
hoarse and infuriated: "Stop! stop, I
command you! Young man, 1 11 horse
whip you on the spot if you don't irive
me my daughter?"
The two looked at each other in de
spair. But tho preacher, backwoods
man that he was, was a man of wit and
resources, and of heart as well.
"Keep on," said be quietly, "and ride
as fast as you can. Join your hands and
sit firm in yoursaddle when I tell you.
I have it all on the top of my tongue."
Clatter, clatter clink, clink 1 rang the
sharp hoof beats! Nearer and nearei
they came together; but the word's rolled
oil the preacher's lips, as he rose and
sauk in his stirrups, faster than the speed
of the racers.
Nearer and nearer sped Fleetwood
until his hoarse panting almost drowned
the preacher's words. But a few rods
"separated them.
"Join your right hands," came the
sharo command.
Halt, I command you, in the name
of"
"Put spurs. Foreasmuch as Ilichard
W. Anderson and Annie Gringer have
consented to ".
Hold up there ! I'm an officer o f the
lawl" demanded another voice, droa
ing the rest, of the preacbW's foras
much. V S
But the wild wedding party dashed
forward, and the preacher's lips worked
fast.
In the name of the Father ''
4Halt, or you suffer the penel '
"And of the Sonvand "
Give me my daughter, you villian.
"And of the Holy Ghost, I pronounce
that they are husband and wife. Amen."
There was a halt then, and explana
tions that disarmed the man of the law
and sent old Joel Gringer back to his
belated supper with vain cursings cf his
luck.
The suoper at Stilwell's was flavored
with ploasanter reflections, and Bon
Stone had many an opportunity to won
der aloud in his sly way :
Uow under the sun them hogs ever
did git into old man Mason's cornfield

Making Wigs. r
The most curious thing about wigs 19
the lace made of human hair, which is
used as a basis for certain parts of tho
finer sort of wigs. Thi3 lace is made oa
a cushion by hand and is very expensive.
The material employed in St3 manufac-.
ture is always white hair. The hairs
composing the wig are crocheted into
the lace, so as to be knotted in the
meshes and held secure. In the case of
a "toupee," which is intended to cover
a bald spot on the head, being fastened
with bits of wax to the scalp, the entire
groundwork of the article is composed
of this lace; in a full wig there is only a
strip of it to cover the parting. It hai
the advantage over any other kind of
laco that it does not show when stretched
over the skin of the scalp, and it never
becomes discolored. Formerly the hair
for wigs was mostly imported from
Europe ready sorted into colors and
lengths, but at present nearly al( of It
comes over in a crude state. Washing

The Wren.
"The wren," says an observer
"hatches a remarkably large number of
eggs, sometimes as many as seventeen.
The building of the nest shows a dfesiro
for ample house room. It is usually so
long and narrow that a small child can
scarcely get in its two lingers together,
and then they will not reach one-third
of the distance to the end. Now,, how
are the little ones fed? The bird must
nake several trips for food at every
meal, feeding one or two of her nutner
ous brood at a time. How does she rec
ognize those which have received their
portion and those which have not? Tha
little ones always stretch their necks,
open then beaks, and, like Oliver Twist,
persistently calls for more; but their
nother carefully avoids giving anything
beyond the quantity which will not
interfere with the digestion of her off
spring. The question is one which I
have never been able to answer. It is
me upon which the scientists of tha
keen observation of Darwiu or Itichar 1
letTries could throw an interesting light."

FARM A NO HOUSEHOLD.'
DETASSKLINO CROT.
The process of detassohng corn con
sists ia removing the upper portion of
the stalk to which tho spray of male or
pollen-bearing flcwers fs attached. Sev
eral experiments have shown that it in
creases the crop to remove the tassel from
fally one-half of the stalks before the
pollen is shed. The results of soma ex
tensive tests made by the Nebraska Ex
periment Station, show the pposito
effect. There was a uniformly lessened
yield upon the plats when one-half of
the stalks were detasseled Similar re
sults obtained when the vessels were re
moved after the pollen had been matured
and scattered. In view of these results,
it does not seem wise to interfere with
nature for profit's eake. American Ag
riculturist. PEA FOWLS.
In reply to queries regarding pea
fowls, we canuot do better than .to quote
Richardson: The cock does not attain
the full splendor of his plumage until ho
is three ycare old, and the hen does not
lay until the same age. She lays from
five to seven eggs, and sits twenty-nine
days. If the first batch of eggs be taken
away she will lay a second, so that by
having a hen turkey foster nurse you
may manage to have two broods in one
summer. The peahen generally chooses
a very retired spot out of the way of the
peaccck, who is often a cruel, unnatural
father. "
The youog must be hatched , like
Guinea fowls and youug turkeys. Un-.
less they are fed amply and regularly they
are apt to wander. When fat and hung
long enough they make a delicious and
splendid roast. They should be larded
with slices of fat bacon, tho head and
neck, irith the feathers on, carefully
wrapped in paper and tucked under tho
wing away from the fire, and when ready
set up in purple glory to match the tail,
adorned with feathers neatly stuck in at
the last moment. If you wish peaf owls
to agree with other poultry they must be
reared with them, otherwise they are not
unfrequentlv murderous assassins of
chicks. New York World.
TKANSPLAJiTIN'i ONIONS.
According to results octained at the
experiment station of Ouio last year, in
the matter of growing onions from seed,
in the greenhouse and afterwards trans
planting the young plants in tho open
ground, the results were decidedly in
favor of the transplanted ones. A month
was gained in the time of ripening of tho
crop, all the troublesome detail of keep
ing the young onions from being
smothered by weeds was overcome.whilo
a v i i .i r i . i i . i
iue yient oi mose iranspiantea was in
most cases about double that of the oth
ers. The common market sorts.showod
524 bushels to the acre of the trans
planted against 39S bushels from seed of
the Yellow l)anvers, while the Weath-
ersheld showed 77 against 70 respec
tively. Other kinds wera even more fa
vorable. The transplanting of onions is
au old process among gardeners, in fill
ing in gaps and loss from seed by one
party, who obtiuied a supply from thosa
more fortunate even when tho seed
was sown iti the ordinary wy out of
doors. The writer has known of some
growers who always transplanted from
teed beds, to avoid various troubles' con
sequent from the slow grow th at first of
onions grown from teed. The extra
expense of transplanting is partly com
pensated for by Icas hand weeding being
required, as the hoe can bo- made to do
nearly all the weeding ia the. trans
planted crops. New York Witness.

Why Bears Are Plentiful.
Old settlers say that there arc more
bears ia Sullivan County, New York, to
day than there were a generation ago. A
.number of fucts make this statement ono
!easy to be believed. Long ago the forests
'thronged with a race of brawny hunters
'who shouldered deadly rifles and wero
jkecn-eyed for the chase. The hills were
idotted with the little hooies and clear
ings of woodsmen who made their living
,with axes, were iron -nerved and clear
eyed, and could shoot true. Tanneries
and sawmillc giving employment to man)
men sat by the sides of all tho streams.
The woods were full of the sounds of
axe-blows and the creaking of ox
chains. Youths grew up with a desire
for fame and they took rifles and went
to seek in the woods. A hardy race of
"huntsmen made terrible war on the game.
With the vanishing of the great forest
these men disappeared from the face of
the earth. Not all men now are hunttra.
There are those surrounded by the best
cover for game who never taste partridge
or veasion the vear round. c
When Sullivan County was covered
with a growth of heavy forest-trees hun
ters walking through tho woods had
good traveling, and could sec far, for th
bruh, under the shade of the great trees,
was not thick. Now the huge forest
monarch have gone their ways to th
river-raft and the awmiih, and after
