Whet had happened to eetenbes
g?
The old streets ware quite a different
aspect. it wits not only the fresh coat
of paint which the houses had put on
that had made the ulterallon, but the
slaty merry girls' faces that looked
out of lite windows, the stroet-boys
who, in a state of perfect delight, clat-
tered over the pavement in their wood-
en shoes, nuking noise enough to over-
power the sound of the tosses' feet, and
rho gay, bright music which already
ecunded through the streets from a
distenco, drawing men and worsen out
to their doors.
Hurrah! The • Uhlnnc were coming
back from the parade ground.
Tho gulden morning sun sparkled on
tho Ups of the lances; the block and
white banner wave4 in the warns sum-
mer wind; in front Ute staff trumeeter
with the band, all on bay horses; then
the oonunander with the adjutant, and
behind them the long lino of riders,
dusty from their warns ride. But how
magnilioently the animals caught the
tie of the waltz; hots strnight the young
fellows sat ill their saddles; how the
Lright eyes sparkled through the win-
dows, and how the young girls blushed
when an officer gawdl up too Loldly.
Now the (rain turned round the cor-
ner of the old gymnasium, and In the
house of the Frau lllajorin von Totten
o wuatow was !lung open. and a brown
face looked out with a pair of magnifl-
cent brown eyes on. the glittering (rain
that wound beneath her like a serpent
with shining scales.
Katie's foot kept time to the waltz,
her hair waved in the wind over tho
narrow forehead, and her delicate, nos-
triLs quivered with pleasure.
The officers all looked up and greet-
ed her, lowering their swords; and sho
returned the gr.k ling, smiling and
blushing, tilt her white teeth gleamed
out 'eon the rosy lips. In fact the whole
regiment looked up and admired the
charming picture. At the corner of the
street the band went one way, the
squodreets separated and rode off to
their various stables, and two officers
carte hick at n gallop, and stopped
before illatie's window.
"Fraulefn von 'Pollen," cried the d-
eer. the commander, "we are going to
drive to Ihrchenhagen this afternoon.
You will come with us, v1Il you not?
tussle will be very much hurt if you
keep to your refusal of yesterday."
"Oh, i should like to go so much,"
replied tho young girl, "but 1 cannot:
really i can't, for mamma will never
lel roe."
"i will speak to Auntie Totten," de -
dared the young officer. who had
sprung off his horse and given It to n
seklter. •vho hurried out of the 'Pollens'
he:u;,•. "Only leave it to no, Fraulein
leathern:e." Ile smiled tot the girl with
hie good-natured eyes as he spoke.
"Ah, yes, do, Herr von \Vegrstedt.
Mamma is in the garden," cried Katie.
'Titts minute," was the reply. The
lieutenant saluted his superior officer
and clattered into the house.
'lite elder officer saluted Katie, called
out "Ant wiedersehen," and turned
away.
Katie clapped the whitlow to, without
perceiving that Doctor Schonberg was
coming down tho street, and hail been
looking up for a long time as he ap-
proached her house.
Katie, who was hurrying toward lit
garden. met hint in the hall, close by
the new door which von Totten had
got made lo give the upper and lower
apartments n more tsepnrale aspect.
"Coot -morning,' saki she, returning
hie greeting; 'just go upstairs, Ernest.
1 want to ask mamma something."
"Can't 1 conte et.itr you?"
"No. Herr von Weir lath is with her."
"i don't Fete that that need prevent

lan in a i'lue apron was trying to pick
up the fragments of a little plaster eta -

lox from which lie Irnd taken them.
Ernest Schimberg could have laughed,
if he had felt disposed to mirth. at the
expression of the culprit; he looked so
stupidly at the dainty arm of an An -
Leine, by Dannecher.
1 He felt worn out, weary of the con -
!slant struggle with linnet:If which be
was carrying on. The luubs which had
carried him to the house of his be-
t frothed the day after thetr engagement
had seemed heavy as lead; and when ne
had made his proposal to her mother,
;lie had actually heaved a sigh of relief
:when she refused her unconditional
0 consent. Katie was still too young, and
It would Le better that site shouui be

she wouki gladly give her consent, if
they were bath in Ihe same mind at the
end of the year. So Ire roust have pati-
ence tilt then. This was tho substance
of her words; and, deeply touched, he
kissed her hand, and had gone away
without seeing Katie.
But that very evening Kahle had come
re. see his mother. She looked tit him
wistfully with largo tears In her splen-
did eyes, and when ho stroked her hair
a: parting and pressed her hand in n
fatherly manner, such as was natural
t. hint under the circumstances, he
impetuously threw her arms emend his
neck, and declared with great agitation
that she considered herself engngod to
Itim, and should always do so, even
though snanuna did set her face against
it; and mamma had no right to for•
NJ her to Ides hi►n, and she wouldn't

He stood in the street after he had
left her, and lifted his hat from hire
burning brow, he folt so downcast and
oppressed.

ed, as he burned into a shady side
street; and as he walked slowly on.
with his hat in his hand, the last few
weeks passed in review before trim.
The change In the louse of his future
mother-in-law had been great. Down-
stairs the blond Lieutenant von Weg-
stodt was now living; the doctor was
not quite clear whether he disliked this
feet or was indifferent to it. Ile was a
modest young fellow, this young offi-
cer, not at all likely ever to become
very prnrnit►ent. He had only one ad-
vantage, n powerful one in these days,

VALUE OF SKIM MILK.
It has been conclusively proven that

we mean feeding it to nnuuaLs of the

An editorial in Hoard's i)airy-man
slate.; that fresh skits milk when feel
to calves until six or seven months old
has been proven by their records to
have an actual stoney value of 63 cents
per hundred pouni s, Considering that
the average cow's milk will not pro-
duce more than live or six pounds of
butter per hundred pounds, which sold
at say 25 cents per ,pound, and in this
way bringing 81.60 per hundred of milk
at the most, it is easily seen that fresh
skim milk as it ornnes from the separa-
tor with a money value of G3 cents per
hundred for feeding 1)111- -ses repre-
s(nee nearly one -hall the milk profits.
If you are not using a separator place
your order for one at once tend get all
that Ls coiling to you from your cows.
The editorial mentioned is al fol-
low•,:
"A pretty accurate account hes been
kept by us for years as to Ihe relative
value of fresh skim milk when fed to
grade Guernsey heifer calves or to
pigs. We speak of grade cielves ,for
that is what any fanner can have by
keeping a registered sire. We have fed
throe calves and sc:d them when six
er seven months old; alxtut the sant
ago at which the pigs are sold.
"Our calves have brought us from
820 to 825 apiece. They would consume
•ti that time about 3,000 pounds of skim
milk and $3 worth of oats, blood meal
and alfalfa !hay.
"Allowing* 33 for tin careass and
$;I for the hay and grain we have left
if the calf sold for $25, 819 for 3,000
pcunds of skim milk or over 63 cants
a hundred for tho milk.
"With pigs our rule is that the skim
milk is worth 25 cent; a hundred ;f
pork sells ter '31.50 per hundred on
tool. Of course, the higher the price
of hogs thc;lrnore do wo receive for the
skint milk. But this return is always
contingent upon feeding the mile to
young pigs front fifty up to one hun-
dred and seventy-five pounds in weight.
The heavier the pig gels the less tioes
he return for his food. It costs about
four times as much feed to produce a
pound of weight on a pig weighing
300 pounds as it does on ono weighing
50 to 100 hounds. This difference toe
caused by the amount of food that .s
taken out every day to support the
weight already acquired. So the morn
weight the more is taken for support,
and the levo gain in weight. There is
n great (demand all over the country
for well bred and well developed dairy
