CHAPTER IV.
It is a night of nights, destined to
!nark, as with a white .stone, the pro-
gress of at least two life currents that
have until recently flown contentedly
et, each in its own, individual channel.
Valetta, being a city of the Italian
school, makes much ado over the coin -
kg of Lent The people, as if to pre -
Pare for six weeks of fasting, indulge
in all manner of feasting.
Even the tfoh,ammedans, who are
present in no small numbers, join the
festivities. for they, too, have a period
sof fasting, according to the example set
by the prophet, and commanded in the
Koran..
Hence Valetta is very gay when night
conies on;. fancy Chinese lanterns hang
in the streets, music is heard onr every
hard, and laughing,good-natured crowds
jostle elbow* to a war that would hor-
rify

Valetta has long been known a.a the !,
headquarters of the famous Order of
Malta. The representative cemmandee
fees of different nations have their inns,
each called en auberge, on the princi-
pal streets, while the palace of the grand
anaster is three hundred feet on each
side, faring four streets, with a large
equate in front known as the Piazza
St. Giorgio,.
A small tower en tbe top known as
Ole Torretta is used as a station from
:which men-of-war are signaled.
Everywhere can be seen the insignia.
of this ancient order, +he white Mal-
tese cross on a blood -red field, arousing
thoughts of men in armor, the crusades,
and much that is stirring and roman-
tic in the history of the centuries that
are gone.
A student of history would find much
to entrance him in this peculiar hill-
side city on the British Island of Malta.
Supper is served et the hotel dust
was night conies on, and John Craig,
M,D., has managed to eat in an ancon-
terned way, talking with his friends
and trying to appear unconscious of
the fact that two score of curious eyes
are upon him, the incident of the after-
teoon having spread Tike wild -sire among
the rest of the delayed steamer's pass
angers. who Stop at the hotel.
This is the first time the young mas-
ter of medicine has found himself the
:center of observation, and he comes
through the ordeal very fairly. as Lady
,Muth !ln'fornas him laughingly, when
they. by chance, leave the dining -room
together.
Another ordeal awaits, John. In the
Parlor he finds the mother a the boy
whose life he saved, She cannot talk
much English. and John is hardly at
home in Arable, or the mixed language
used by the Maltese.
When two persons are very much.
fn earnest, they manage to get on, and
the poor woman calls down the bless-
ings of Heaven on his head ere she
leaves.
"I wish all this were over," he laughs,
rejoining the English girl.
Wake the most of it, doctor," says
the colonel, sauntering; up with a choice
weed between his teeth: '•such occa-
sions come rarely and had Letter le
appreciated. 'Pane the advice of an old
campaigner, and retake line while the
sun shines.'
"Oh, I mean to, colonel," replies
John. and there is a )lichen meaning
in his words that causes the -cancer to
luolt at him steadily :and mutter:
"Haug the boy! I really believe he
expects to enter the lists against me,

All of which is very tau" and proves
that the colonel of Royal Engineers
ik.es not mean to let the opportunity
pass.
A few minutes later John and Lady
Ruth stand on the piazza of the hotel..
The scene is wed: swarth looking at,
with its many lights. bright colors, and.
constantly changing (Tawas.
She expresses surprise, and seeks an
eanlanation,whieh fortunately the young
doctor is able to give. thanks to certain
information he picked an im scanning
hie guide book.
"In time of peace nrepare for war.

dropping dropping into the chair John
vacates at her l:a•lv.lhil' s side, and his
celerity to tale. advantage of the cir-
cumstance. arouses a littlt suspicion in.
her mind that :after all it may be a
ruse to get ham away, with the 'Bsi-
t&n's gold b.:eking it.
She pays little attention to what the
enlonel is talking about; twice she
turns her head rand looks to where
John and the stranger taulk, while to
herself she says:
"Strange why I am interested in him
and his fortunes. What is this singu-
lar story concerning his mother, whi:.h
some time he means to tell me—when.
the become better friends? And now
conics this man to hold a secret con-
rultation with him! Where have I
seen him before, where heard his voice?
I Gannet remember just now, but there
is something familiar about him- The
doctor appears to be excited—there he
lays his well hand on the other's arm
and speaks quickly. Pshaw! it's none
of my bneiness," and )she resolutely
turns her face toward the bright scene
on the street, only to glance back again
a dozen seconds later.
The doctor comes up; singularly
enough, Lady Ruth has just bethought
herself of her fan, and the military
figure of the stalwart Briton is seen
passing through the door -way upon a
wild-goose ehatse after the much ma-
ligned article of ladies' yarfare, which
has played its part in many a bit of
diplomatcy, and which he will never
find as it is at that moment resting
in the folds of milady's- dressy cleverly
hidden from view..
"I trust you hare had no bad news,
doctor?" says the English girl with a
touch of sympathy in her voice.
"On the contrary. Lady Ruth, I have
heard something that is of intense mo-
ment to me," he replies, showing ono.
den.
"About your mother?" she asks,
quickly.
"It is so. Lady Ituth, you have
heard me speak enough' of my past to
realize that it has be -en a lonely life.
My father loves me atter his own fa-
shion, and I respect him deeply; but
all my life I have longed for the love
of a mother, until it has reached an in-
tensity you can 'hardly comprehend.
Now I leave received certain news that
gives me. a wild hope.
"I, too, lost my mother when young,
and that atircumstanee enables me to
feed for you."
H.er tender eyes thrill bim as he.nev-
er yet has been teethed; the bond et
sympathy is akin to love: ax has never
had a confidant, and human nature
yearns to unbosom itself.
"I promised to tell you the story,
Lady Ruth. If I were sloe we would
not be interrupted, I veer I be inclined

"I knew the stearner would stop a

since we landed. I have learned seve-

"You saw a man come in and draw

I may piek up on my visit to Male

"Indeed, I am more than interested
in your story, and anxious to learn how
you succeed. Would you know your
mother if you should meet her to -day?"
she asks, mentally wondering why; he
has taken her into his confidence.
"I believe so, A son's ' loving eyes

"But your memory of her must be

"That ds true, but I have another

maging through some old papers In an
antique secretary which I found in the
attic, when I ran across an ivory min-
iature that had been overbooked.
"Upon it was painted a girl's face;
my heart told me who itt was, and un-
derneath I found the words 'Blanche
Austin at eighteen.'
"I have treasured thaaat ever since;

"Most assuredly," she replies, warm-

"It wads plain when I found 1t; with

TRIAL AND TRIUMPH.
Story of a Temerance ;Hero wet. 'would
Not Break Iiia k'rotuise.
The days of heroism are never past,
and the history of temperament the
days where it was everywhere denounc-
ed would afford some noble specimens.
I have often spoken of Willie Bartlett,
and it will interest those of your read-
ers who admire pluck wherever it is
found to read of his trial and, triumph,
Willie's father waft a noble father, ane
Of the multitude whom the drink sweeps
away who are said to be "nobody's en-
emies but their own"—a saying terribly
false, as Willie's mother and the feather-
less children soon felt. Burdened with
debt and with si:t small children to sup•
la ort, her prospects were very dark indeed.
Early in life. however, she had become
a true Christian, and though her hus-
band, who had once walked with her in
the narrow path, had been led away by
the ah'iuk fiend, she remained faithful,
and now that the day of trouble had
come she knew where to go for support
and guidance,
,After awhile Willie's mother deter
mined to apprentice him to his father's
trade, and after some negotiations the
master agreed to take him, having a
high regard for the father, the master
took hive into the works and gave him
in charge of his principal foreman. .As
soon as the master had left the foreman.
said:
"Well, Willie, we'll make a pian of
thee here for thy father's sake, and we
must have a footing to drink thy suc-
cess, and as I know money is not very
plentiful at home. I will pay for it my-
self," and immediately one of the other
lads was sent for a quart of boor.
Poor Willie was bewildered with this
arrangement, for his mother had trained
him up a strict abstainer and had taught
him to hate his father's murderer—the
drink. The beer was soon brought, and
the men gathered round. and each drank
to Willie's success, Then the foreman
poured out a glass and offered it to
Willie:
"Now, my lad, drink success to all."
Willie quietly replied, "I am a teeto-
taler and never touch the drink."
Irritated at the boy's reply, the fore-
man said: "None of that nonsense, We'll
have no teetotalism here. Take the drink
at once."
Willie said, "I promised mother I
would never touch the drink, and I never
will."
"Look here," said the man, "we are
not going to have two masters here, so
drink it up."
"I cannot, and I willnot," said Willie.
Mad with the boy's rebellion against
his orders,the foreman said: "This is all
nonsense! You will have it in you or
over you!"
"Well," said. Willie, "I can't help it.
I will never drink. You can throw it
over me if you like. I have brought
here a clean jacket and a good character.
You may spoil my jacket if you will,
but you shall never spoil my character."
Struck with the boy's earnest look,
the man's better nature prevailed, and
turning away he said to his mates:
"He's a rum one, but I believe he'll
make a man."
The prophecy Was right, for to -day
Willie is a promint temperance worker
and is at the head of a large establish-
ment noted for their intelligence and
high principle.—Pacific.
Intemperance Worse Than Slavery.
The total number of slaves in the
United States when the emancipation
proclamation was issued is reckoned as
4,000,000. The total number
f drunk-
ards in the United States alone is about
2,600,000, and there are probably 10,000-
000 other persons bound to these by
fancily ties and sharing in the burden of
their curse. As a result of the slave
system millions were transferred from
realms of savagery to a realm of civiliza-
tion, with more advantages on the whole
even under slavery than they had in
their native land. The slave was nonan
economic loss ; the drunkard is. African
slavery was limited to a comparatively
small field, liquor invades all civiliza-
tion. Slaverywas a wrong on the lower
races; intemperance afflicts the highest.
From any point of view liquor has. done
incalculably more harm than African
slavery. -Voice.

HORN FLY TRAP
Device to Starve tie- Pests: to
Death.
Horn flies carte early and in force
this season and, so tormented onr cows
and bnlls that humanity as well as a
due regard for pocket interest demand-
ed that something should be done, says
P. S. ,Lewis & Son in The Breeder's
Gazette. Having previously tried with
poor results to keep off the flies by put-
ting nasty stuff on the cows and not
having forgotten the trap, we concluded
to try to build one.
The size and proportions are a guess
on our part and can be altered to suit.
This one is 20 feet long, 6 feet high and
4 feet wide, made of inch oak boards:
It has a door at each end nearly full
size and is lined inside with tar paper, !,
which is pelt outside on the top to keep
out the rain, Every ray of light is ex-
cluded except what comes down through
the trap, and. of course, it is fly tight.
Midway a six inch board is set on edge
aeress the bottom, and to it the sides
arid top are tae) ed bunches of evergreen.

opened to let the cow out. This is the
most difficult part of the performance,
the flies being very loath to leave their

by trying to drive them off a cow when.
out of doors. This screen stakes two
rooms, eachten feet in length, one very
dark and the other lighted from above
through the trap. We used two cast off
screen doors to make sides and ends of
trap and covered with wire screen. end
it is probably larger than necessary,
but have found that no objection, It is
5 feet long, 8 feet wide and8 feet high,
and an opening three feet long and a
foot wide lets the light down and the
flies up into the trap. Once in the trap
they rarely try to go back, but spend
their time trying to get outthrough the
top and in from one to two days are
starved to death.
On onr first use of the trap we were
surprised to find many got out by forc-
ing themselves through the screen.. Wo
then covered it with light cheesecloth
and have lost none since. Usually we
lead or drive the cow into the first
room, closing the door behind it. As it
passes on into the dark room the brush
and curtains sweep off the flies, and
they follow the light into the trap.
Give a few minutes then with both
doors closed to secure all of the flies,
but we have passed through several,
one at the heels of the other, with good
results. After the first time it is little
trouble to get a sensible cow to go
through. They seem to realize it is do-
ing them good.
Care of Covr Stables.
At least twice a year we like to thor-
oughly overhaul the stable and all its
furniture, a general house cleaning as
it were, writes L. W. Lighty in The
National Stockman. We prefer rather
a windy day and open up all windows
and doors and completely sweep and
brush out all nooks and corners. Re-
move everything that is movable. Clean
out manure, straw, hayseed, etc., and
flush the gutters completely. Now dis-
infect the stable thoroughly. Sulphate
of copper or chloride of lime Is what we
generally lase, though some of the com-
mercial disinfectants are sometimes
preferable. Common whitewash or
quicklime is very good to use for some
parts of the stable. If there is any sus-
picion that any disease is lurking in the
stable, such as abortion or any other,
this disinfection should be particularly
thorough. Close the stable quite tight
and burn sulphur or, still better, gen-
erate chlorine gas, by pouring hydro-
chloric acid or some chloride of lime.
This forms a deadly gas, and you want
to use it with caution, but it will do
thorough work. All the mangers or
troughs should be scoured with boiling
water. By this semiannual cleaning up
we have thus far escaped all the trou-
bles that oftenn
ca se serious loss to many
dairymen, such as calf scours, abortion,
etc., and at the same time it helps to
produce the best and cleanest milk from
which to make first class batter.
Benefits ot Dairying.
Mr. R. G. Welford in an address be-
fore the Illinois Dairymen's association
made the following observation upon
the beneficial effects of dairying on any
community in which it exists. He said
"In my experience of 80 years in Illi-
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri I
have noticed that wherever the dairy
cow is there is prosperity, whether the
climate be good or bad. Dairying has
also greatly increased the sociability
and contact of farmers with one an-
other, for they meet when they come to
the creamery or factory., While they
are waiting they discuss how to get and
keep good cows, This has done won-
ders
onders forsuch farmers. It has also called
out more intelligent farming, and we
find that the papers that cater to their
ideals axe sought for and eagerly read."
HOW DRUNKARDS All
MADE,
No man ever started out tte
make himself a drunkard. No
man expects to become a
drunkard till he finds that the
work is done. In joy and gaiety,
in good -fellowship and gene-
rosity of heart the start is
rnade. The boat glides out Oil
the calm surface of the cur-
rent, whose speed, and force
are undreamed of, while
swiftly hears the unthinking
voyager on to the vsril.d swirl
of rushing rapids that no tun-
aided human arm can stern..
Oh, that some friendly warn-
ing voice could thunder in the
ear of every drinker "" Stop,

firm, a hold strong drink has
upon him until he attempts to
give it up. When there is any
desire for drink, there is crying
need for immediate energetic.

Those who have tried to quit

No resolutions or restraints

"I procured your Samaria Prescription
last spring while I happened to make a
chance purchase of another article in a
drug store in your city, and I carried the
package in my vest pocket for a couple of
months, right through several periodical
blow -outs before I happened to feel just
ugly enough to give it a trial. It worked
like a charm. Before the tablets were all
taken the desire for liquor was gone, and
I have had no inclination fox anything in
that line ever since, and I do not think I
ever will. I consider it the greatest bless-
ing ever handed to a man or woman who
would be free from the habit which seems a.
born into so many. I am headstrong and
have determination to carry out anything ,
I undertake, but I know that I could never
have quit drinking without your Samaria
