In her eooler moments Heater Darrel

She expected that plain speaking

Such was, imbed, what the insinua-

Mrs. Darrel stepped. into an adjoining
room to avoid him. He swore at every

left the house.
Then Mrs. Darrel looked out of the

pounced upon by the two men who were
lurking in antbneh for him. Sane Dar-
rel was a big, powerful man, but with
great dox.terity the officers manacled his
wrists in the twinkling of an .eye and

Darrel entered the room where her hus-
band was sitting.
As she entered, he looked up, and see-

" She 803111i strange," he thoegat ;
" perhaps she hai had ,a weak moment

She was, indeed, changed ; the in-
sidious lies of her preeious cousin, and

in Sam's preeeaee, and the events
which had followed, had worked its
worst upon her.

The fever heat to Rhich he had work-

"With pleasure—no," he added,

clear that he di a not exaggerate the

The mournful tones in which these
last words were spoken struck home to
Malleta heart, arid he had to gnaw his
lip to console his emotion.
"Newly married man," said he to
himself, "scarcely over the honey moon
yet; there must be a screw loose Some-
where in his domestic matters."
Dareers impatience burst out again.
"Go nowaltfallet," he exclaimed "at

"To -morrow morning the affair will

There was an air of determination
in the speaker's forced calmness that
told Mallet there was no time to be last.
So off he went.
He had some little difficulty hi find..
out where young Carr Wits staying, and
when he chd gettheaddress, the Man

"Loquacity,,-" said Mallet, "twin;

Carr redd.ened to the roots of his hair

"What the devil do you mean, sir 2"
he said fiercely. "Confound your impu-

Mallet shook his head,:
"Nor to be WHO," he said.

balloon struck against the guy some-
thing had happened to the canvas at
the top, but I soon found, from my
gradual upper progress, that all was
right. After rising some little dieteace
until it was nearly over the centre of
Madison's Square, a sudden jerk was
given, and the balloon stopped in its up-
ward course, the delay being caused, as
I learn to -night, by some Officious
friend fastening the rope around a tree.
As soon as the balloon was released, I
threw out move ballast, and quickly at-
tained an altitude of 2,000 feet, ac-
cording to the measure of the barome-
ter. Here I struck a steady north-east
wind which carried. me steadily towarti

thing was dwei fed to such an extent
that the lakes of the reservior appeared
of the size o. the basin in Madison's
Square, and the trees and carriages on
the various roads dwindled into more
specks, the whole landscape presenting
the appearance of a miniatute map.

The Expense or Harvesting Hay.
Among farmers, if the question is
asked what is the cost of harv'estiug

on the eubject, at least thie is the ettite-a'

of well made hay.
When hay many years ago brought
a low price, it was customatypin letting
to be cut on shares, to give one-half the
hay in the mow for the entire harvest-,
ing of the meadow land, andit has beee
customary among dairymen to allow
two dollars a ton to tenants for all. sur-
plus hay ou hand at the end of the year,
as a ,cerapensadion, for ehierveethig, tap
hay.
It is well known artiong farmers that
there is double the work involved'in the
harvesting of the different fields of hay,
as sonic land is located further from the
barn, as also some land lemon, difficult
of access or has a different surface to
mow over, and when all these consid-
erations are taken into account the ex-
pense of harvesting a tem of hay is from
three to six dollars per acre. This con-
clusion has been arrived at by the act-
ual employment of men, teams and all
the necessary appliances for the her -
vesting of hay.
It will be seen from the above facts
stated, that if a- meadow_is well looated
