Alir,OAD," eke, CHAPTER X. -(Continued) The constable and Waddle pushed off the other sail -boat, and headed her to- wards Middleport. There was certain- ly a lively prospect of an excitinn• chase, both upon the land and the water. I had just taken the helin of the Belle, in order to permit Toni to adjust the sails -with the nicest care, when Colonel Wimpleton appeared upon the shore. "Hold on, Wolf," shouted he. "1 want you." " Botheration !" exclaimed Tom. "I shall never get off." " gitle of toreeta.... at viiat noat," rep a, pont mg to the Raven. "I want you to get up steam on th Ruoara and chase her," added the col "1 suppose I must go ashore, Tom,' I continued to the skipper, as I ran the Belle up to the wharf again. "All right; I will fight it out alone if I get near enough to the rascal," an- swered Tom, who always made the best of everything, however unfavorable the circumstance. I leaped ashore, and pushed off the bow of the boat so that the skipper was detained hardly a moment. Setting the helm, he adjusted his sheets, gave a pull at the jib -halyards, and the Belle •went off like a rocket, With the fresh breeze on the quarter. "This is very awkward business for me, Wolf," said Colonel Wimpleton, as we started from the steamboat wharf. "It is awkward for all, 1 supposewho have money in the bank," I replied. "It is particularly so to me. I have to pay twenty thousand dollars to -day, and all the cash balance has been swept away," he added. "I must pay this money to -day, or be dishonored. In- deed, I would rather lose twice the amount than fail to do so." "Very likely you can get the amount from the Middleport Bank," I suggest- ed. "Perhaps I can ; but twenty thous- and dollars is a large sum to obtain without any notice whatever. I sold some bonds the other day to pro- vide for this payment, and now those villians have cleaned out tho bank." "They may be caught before night," I added. "I think their chances( of escaping are very small." I don't know about that," replied the magnate, shaking his head, "If that fellow in the boat is hard pressed, he oval run ashore, and take to the woods, and, having the start, he 'will make good use of his time," "Tom will BOO where he leads, and he will follow him to the end of the world," " Probably the other robber has a fast horse on the other side of the lake, and Captain• Spiders is a clumsy fel- lew." "But Waddie is with him." " Waddie has not had much experi- ence in chasing robbers. I hope he willl not expose himself, for these vil- Jiang are probably well provided with pistols." " Waddle bee one of hie revolvers, and Tem has the other." 4'4 It is dangerous intsiness to deal with theee desperate fellows, and /melt a etroog finale te make the thing sure, tient immediately for the engineer of the 1tuoara, but foond he had gone to Gulfport, and would not retinal till it WAS imto make his flret trip.

I saw the grett man of Centreport on the wharf, 0.8 approached, and I knew him we enough to understand at once that something had gone wrong with him He was walking, at a hurried pace back and forth across the end of th wharf. He frequently compressed his lips and pursed urehis mouth. Yet the worst I feared was that he had not been eble to find Major Toppleton, in order to make his application for Resistance, The boat ran up to the pier, and still the colonel rushed back and forth across the wharf, apparently making mouths at the evilTdestiny which con- fronted him. 'He did not seem to be in any h.urry to pursue the thief who had stolen his money, or even to tiike any notice of the steinner which was ready to do his bidding. I had not seen him in such a, frame of mind for tworaonths, and it really gave me much anxietg. If the great man was angry, he was liable to do something which would endanger the pleasant relations which now hap- pily subsisted between the two sides of the lake. I left the piloahouse as soon as the forward hawser was made fast, and took position of the huiricane deck, in plain sight of him, in readiness to receive his commands, whatever they might be. I looked up the lake to see how Tom Wal- ton progressed with the chase; but both of the sail -boats had disappeared in the haze of the morning, or had gone behind the point at Gulfport. did not think the steamer and the posse on board of her would be likely to render much assistance iu Cittehillg the bauk robber, unless she started very soon ; but tne colonel still paced the wharf. I observed that he cast an occasional glance up the pier, but his actions were all it mystery to me. At last he halted near the gangway of the boat, and, after gazing atteutively towards the head of the wharf for a moniont, he melted on board of the steamer. "I can't wait any longer, Wolf; east off," said he. 5 1874. to make excuiee, toldime he had, 14astoup4 Jtomo ta PAY a alo 'Of thirty thousand dollars for raileoad irou, which became due tatdaYi arid the aaernioPt would ttse up his entire balance AU- tho bank," It gemmed to 410 that this was a tol- •eralile:.., good •excuse though I did net venture to say so While the great inaa was so excited.

' "1 '''thiek you wrong him, Colonel WimliPele-tI°Pd4o"n't Isn't there fifty thou- sand dollars in the Middleport Bank 2" continued he, warmly. Isn't there en- ough to pay his note and mine ?" I know nothing about it; bat I think you and Major Toppleton need a couple of bears between you." 'A couple et what 2" demanded the eolonel. "A couple of bears," I replied, laugh - lag. "Bears?"• "Yes, sir." What do you mean by that, Wolf ?" i" One is bear, and the other is for- baer." " I don't want any moral lesson, Wolf, from you." "Excuse me, sii; but 1 meant no offence." "You need not presume to lecture me on my duties." "Captain Portman presented a black bear to me yesterday. and thatbear was indirectly the cause of my being here last night, when these robbers crossed the lake. Bears have been upeamost in my mind since that event." "Without any fault on my part, I am put in a tight place. I have no claim upon Toppleton, it is true; but, if we were the friend he pretends to be, he would help me to bear my burden to- day. That is the only bear I -want to know anything about at the present time. I am mortified and. disgusted. to think I said anything to him about the matter." 'But you did not even wait to hear what he would. do, or what he could "I waited fifteen minutes, and he knew I was in a hurry. In my opinion he did not mean to see me again. I call it shabby treatment, and Toppleton won't make anything Dy it. No, he won't 1" continued the colonel, working himself up into it passion. "I'll tell wTasl'aalijea; or that he could be anything different from that he has been for the last dozen or fifteen years. The union line won't last much longer, Wolf." Turning his' heel he walked aft, shaking his head in the fury of his wrath. Certainly the relations between the two magnates were again in it very perilous condition, and my heart rose to my throat, so much did I dread the consequences of the colonel's wrath. "Wolf, I shall put more money into Toppleton's pocket in one year by giv- ing him the through passengers on the railroad, than I asked him to lend me," mid the colonel, as he again came up to where I sat. "Ithink it is necessary to know what Major Toppleton intends to do before you condemn him," I said. , "1 don't care what he intend e to do so long, as he did not cora° up to the mark. I shall not take money out of my pocket, and put in his, after this." He walked off again leaving me to consider how small it spark could kindle a great fire. By this time the boat was ttpproaching Gulfport, and 'hoped soon to ' see the Belle; and the sight of her veould be likely to change the subject. I concluded to go on the hurricane deck; but as I passed the colonel, he stopped "Wolf, I must be at Middleport afi nine o'clock to take the train for Ucay- ga," iiaid he. "I must raise tho nioney though I cannot be en time. ' "We have an hour to 'spare, sir, and Within that time we shall know what is to bo done," I replied. "1 have no doubt Toni Walton has given thefellow in ale Raven a hard run." k'ift The Belle rs'houtea the captain of A the boat, as we came up with the point below Gulfport. , "There they aro 1 Tont is crowding him herd, and the fellow is making for the slier° 1" I added. In A Short time the steamer, came within hailing distance of the 1.3elle ; but the water was too shallow for her to run in tOWAI'dfi *ILO shore. It was de- cided. that I should join Tom in the Belle, while it party was landed above and below to sivround the robber if he took to the shore, as he plainly iotend.- ed to do. I emiltetisrt epeated the or- der- he had given me to the captain of the boat, who was on board, and in another moment we were headed up the lake. I ought to say that these ferry boat were a part of my charge, and their commanders looked to me for directious. The colonel re - remained on the forward deck, resum- ing his walk there with as much zeal as he had manifested on the wharf. I am sorry to say that he looked decidedly ugly, and I began to fear that he had had a falling out with Major Toppleton, and that there was more work for the young peaeemakers to do. I wanted to know what the matter was with the colonel, yet I had not the assurance to ask him. But I hoped he would tell me, and, as there was no one elee boardto whom ho would be like- ly to speakI expected him to do so. I waited a while onthe hurricane &ea for his wrath to subside, and then I went below, where be 'could see me, end where, if he wished to do so, he could mention what is was that troubled him. I passed him on the forward deck and seated myself on the rail near the bow, on the look -out for the Belle and the RBA7011 Wilieh I hoped to see again. "Wolf," said the colonel, after he had gradually worked forward till, he came to the place where I was seated. I turned toad looked at him. It did not appear to me that his wrath had sensibly subsided, for his under lip was projected beyond. the upper one, and I had learned to interpret this as it bad sign. • "Wolf, I have been trying fox -two taionth.s to believe that Toppleton was it good friend of mine," he added after one of his ominous pauses. "1 have been able to believe it with- out trying very hard," I ventured to re- ply. "Ib is not so. For dinner parties, and drumming through the streets, with all the wade of friendship, ho's all right ; but when you come to the real, substantial thing, it is all a humbug With him." ' "1 am sorry you think so," I replied, deeply grieved. ' / should not think so, if coold help it," he added, biting his lip. "1 went to •Toppleton and told him what had happened, and thati had to pay twenty thousand dollars, to -day." "Of course he was willing to ticcointo date you," I suggested, in order to draw him out. "Not at all. Instead of that, he be- te) hem and ha, and make apo o- s," replied the wiener, with illtense disgust. 41 am very, Intel' ,surprised." $o wes I, added the eolouel, dry- , But he nmst have, e geed rea- a' I intimated.

Lees than half a mile from the shore of the lake there was a road which led from Gulfport to Port Gunga, whieh was to be the lhie of attack lor the pur- suers. About tattitY of them had vol. unteerea for the servne, and they were to be scattered along the road, so that it would he impossible for the robber to pass this line. Ifthie one had the mon- ey, or any considerable portion of it, with him the chances were decidedly in favor of obtaining it in season to pay the colonel's note. The Belle was about half a mile from tho shore when I went on board of her, and the Raven WAS about half way be- tween her and the land. Above Gulf- port the lake was bordered for some cLifitaxice by eporpendioularteiliftaf raektO from twenty to fifty feet high; but be- low it there wee some places a kind of sheff or beach, formed by'the crumb- ling of the rock and earth above it. There were not many places where a boat could land when the wind was flesh as on the present occasion • and these were hardly available to a person not acquainted with the oast. The cliff, which extended for several miles along the lake could be climbed only in a few places. The robber's chance of getting away from us, therefore, were not first rate. And then, if he succeeded in climbing the cliff, he was sure to be confronted by theforce along the road. The Belle was doing her prettiest, and from the beginning had been gain- ing upon the Raven, for the wind was too fresh for the latter, though the ras- cal on board. of her handled her exceed- ingly well. Tom Walton was cool en- ough to work the boat to the best ad- vantage, and his whole soul was in the business he had in hand. • "You have been beating him, Tom," said I, as a splash of spray ducked both of us. "I have gained half a mile on him since we started," replied Tom. "The fellow sees it, and understands the situation. Probably be will smash the Raven in making a landing." "He won't unless he wads to do so. Let that alone. He knows what he is about, and there isn't a better boatman on thealte, or in the State than he is. He's as cool as a cucumber, and when he sees the right place to land, he'll go' ashore," added Tom, who could not help admiring the robber's skill,,in spite of his crime. The villain certainly compelled the Raven to do her best, and if the breeze had not been too heavy for ber to;carry sail, he would have run away from his pursuer. As it was, he was obliged to touch liar up, e,m1. let out the sheet when tho fresh flows came, which materially retarded. her progress. Both boats dashed furiously_ on thoi• +.#,Tro210.6 me snore. We saw the robber stand up in the stern -sheets of the Rav- en, as she came within hailing distance of the lend, evidently for the purpose of examining the prospects ahead. The rocks did. not appear to suit his fancy for he let out sheet, aud stbod farther up the lake. "Do you see that, Wolf ?" exclaimed Tom, as the fellow put his helm up. "1 was in hopes the fellow would try to land there, for the cliff is fifty feet bigh," I replied. "And he couldn't get ashore without smashing the Raven." "Didn't I tell you he knew what he was about? Wolf, in my opinion, we are no match tor that fellovv, and he will get away from us," added Tom. "If he gets away from us, he WOU'i escape the twenty men on the look -out for him in tne road." "I'm not so sur3 of that. A fellow who is smart enough to make his way through a ample of iron doors, and sail the Raven as that chap does, can do almost anything." ' "Don't give it up yet, Tom." "Give it up I've no notion of giv- ing it up. I'll follow him from Dan to Beersheba, till the sun goes down on the other side of the Cape of Good Hope. But he's smart, if he is a vil- lien ; that's what I say." "There's no doubt of that, Tom; and we must he smart, too," I replied.

The Germantown 7elegraph commends the following way of preventing the ra- vages of mice among young trees in the orchard. There was it great deal said last sprbig of the injury done young apple trees during last winter by mice, and the only remedy that we have yet seen suggested is to stamp the snow firmly around the trees. This is, however not beleived to be a remedy at all and we doubt if it is of much advantage. But our method is a remedy and we have tried to impress the fact upon our co - temporaries for the past twenty years, but we, should say, judging from their ignorance in answering imploring cor- respondents what they must do to save treir trees, that it has received but lit- tle attention froze many quarters, It is simply to bandage up the stems of the trees with any cotton or woolen cloths, if of old muslin with two or three wrapping,letting the bandage go into the ground an inch or two, and six or eight inches above ground, and tie up. This ehould be renewed every autumn if necbasary, until the; trees are large enough not to Is injured. Those who aro in earnest for a remedy will try this and save their trees; but it will be too much trouble for others to devote a couple of hours to this labor annually, and they will rather rim the risk with the mice. . This method.will keep out the borer, also, as we have Stated on several ocea- siene, Rabbits ean gnaw, when the steins are small enough, two feet from the ground, and would require the ban. daga to be ,much higher.

Land that-containsalt is ndt liable to produce smutty wheat.' Ap- plying lime and salt directly to the soil seems to aperate to prevent rust, but it is better to treat the grein than the soil. Sulphate of copper, commoagy known as blue vitriol or bluestone, is now generally used, instead of salt, to prevent smut. An ounce and a quar- ter of this salt, dissolved in as much n water as will cover the wheat, is re- garded by many persons as it sufficient quantity for a bushel. The wheat may remain in an hour. For convenience in sowing, many afterwards sprinkle the grain with dry lime. agriculture in Ireland. An English journal exclaims: Ire- land is fast going to grass. The pro- portion of tillage is every year becom- ing less, and the land passing into the hands of graziers. The flower of the population are steadily leaving our shores, and those who remain are not inchned to work. How strangely ideas change with the lapse of year's 1 Two centuries ago the English people were most anxious to divert the thoughts of the Irish from theix old nomadic habits of pasturing stock, and. to induce,thera to turn their attention to tillage. Ed- mund Spencer, writing of the Irish, said, "The cattle man is no better than a thief," and the English governorg o the day fully indorsed that statement, and did much to encourage tillage far- raing in the country. All this now changed. Local proprietors do little or nothing towards encouraging small holders. Storing Ice. Many of our readers will no doubt be glad to get a recipe for curing bacon hams, which we give below: Rub the hams thoroughly with a mixture of molasses and saltpeter. The saltpeter may be pulverized and applied with the hand to the flesh sides. Then pack in a trough cask, and let it re- main three days, then add 'water suffi- cient to cover the whole. The quantity of salt to be added may be determined by the length of time the meat is to re- main in the brine, and the quantity of meat. A single handful is enough for it common sized pig's ham to remain in brine two weeks. The smoke should be from green hard wood and it should be smoked until the meat is the color of copper. Then the hams may be kept the year round by enclosing them in a paper or cloth bag and hangieg in it cold place. 1111•• Storing Ice, A cellar under ground, with a stone wall two feet thick, rafter be filled with ice by turning water from a spring into it, a thin layer at a time, and allowing it to freeze. If only half the cellar is to be occupied, it will be necessary to put a double partition across it, leaving it space of eight inches or it foot to be filled with sawdust, A lining similarly filled sbould be made around the part in which the ice is to be stored, The bottom of the cellar will need to be well drained, and a heavy layer of sawdust will be needed upon the top of the ice. But the difficulty which will occur in cutting out tlte ice for use, and which will arise from want of drainage will otiose more trouble than the labor of matting the ice and paekingit ill the usual way. The cellar wouldmake an eacellent storehouse for ice pu top ie the customary; manner; but theplan May be worth a trial.
