night" had sounded very different teen
ueual, and tie Solt sorry h hard hurt
her.
Ile sat down again at the tab!-, and
began to ‘write to her. At Hest his pen
went slowly, then it fairly fleet over
the taper, and when he had written
four pages and read them over he
laughed and crushed up the sheet in
his hand. A charming tetter! It was
so fatherly, so reasonable; he had
spoken of hs wound, that he had hoped
might be healed by her; had begged
her to have patience with him—but
there was not a word of love. When
she read it she would say: "Yes, but
what does 11 all mean? Confess frank-
ly that you do not lovo me—you can-
not forget Lora. Go; bring her hack,
she is free; and leave mo alone." He
creuld see her lovely eyes full of tears;
nnd he struck his forehead with his
clenched fist. "It would be scoundrel-
ly." he said aloud. "A fine return for
her love! She has my word, and I will
keep IL She shall not he unhappy!'
And again he forced himself to turn to
his work.
In the meantime Katie had been en-
thustically received in the loggia of the
villa opposite. The family, who had
returned from their drive, were sitting
in the beautiful room at dinner; the
commander and his wife, and Major
von Schlieben with his young wife.
who lived on the next floor. They had
just get to the dessert; a dish of straw-
berries was placed on the elegantly
appointed table, and at the side -table
Gussie, the young daughter of the
house, and Herr von \Vegstedt were
making punch.
"What a pity," cried Gussie, "that
you were not there, Katie- Herr von
(\Vegstedt and I rode a race.'
"I thought you drove," sail Katie.
"No. As you Wouldn't go, I left the
carriage to papa, and rode with the
Schliebens. You must learn to ride,
tco, Katie. Is the punch good, llerr
von Wegstedt?"
"Capital!"
"Don't you want to. Katie? Papa
can give you riding lessons."
"And 1, too," cried the little lieuten-
ant.
"Mamma would never allow it," said
Katie, with a sigh, ns he leaned back
in the open archway and dreamily
gazed at the picture before her.
The servants had pit screened cafe jles
c►u the table at which the married peo-
ple were sitting talking: Gussic's state-
ly mother, the colonel, who had unbut-
toned his coat, and was smoking a
short pipe to keep off the moscytitoes,
and the slender major, with his deli-
cate wife, who smiled so charmingly,
and who wore a fascinating house dress
of white flannel.
"Auntie 'Pollen will not allow it?"
asked \Vegstedt. "!tut Auntie Tollen
must! We have a great dearth of
young ladies here; sho hos w right tb

we do for our quadrille. Fraulein Gus-

"A quadrille?" asked Katie.
"Cnpital," cried Gussle. with a manly

round the tilled glasses. "Have you

Ile got up quickly and went to meet
his mother. "You have been se long

"I did not want to disturb you," re+
plied the. old lady, who was carrying
car fully a coffee-pot coveted with a
"Cu ey." "!.overs always have so touch
to talk about—and just see, Katie, what
1 have found." She held up a letter.
"You were going to put it in the box,
1 suppose?'
"Yes, it is to Lora," replied the girl,
with a start.
"What is the matter? Lora i3 not 'tl,

"No," replied Katie.
"1 was studied because it Ls aJoress•

"She is going to be a nurse," ex-
plained her sister in a low tone.
"Olt! It is a hard life. God's bless-
ing nn talose who take such a burden
siren therm unci feel energy enough to
carry it through," said sho old lady.
Thera was a touch of emotion in her
voice. She had had a sister who had
been a deaconess, and had died of ty-
phus caught in nursing.
Kate poured out the coffee. "Ah! i
couldn't do it," sho said energetically.
The Frau Pastorin went in and out
tr, the course of the afternoon; she was
not surprised at the quietness of the
young people.
When the twilight came on the doc-
tor offered Katie his arm, and they
walked silently up and down the gar-
den paths. The house in front of them
!coked pleasantly out from under the
tall elms. Katie knew every window
in it; she !mew the weather -cock on the
roof and the big dog at the door of his
kennel, and she knew the yellow hen
which was clucking her brood honie to
roost. Yonder was the laundry, in
which in future she would direct the
great autumn wash, with her big apron
cn and her bu:_:ch of keys at her girdle.
She stopped as if frail a sudden shock,
snd withdrew her arm from that of the
man beside her.
It was as if a rose-colored glass had
suddenly been withdrawn from her
eyes. so dull and gray now seemed to
her this deeply -Longed -for happiness.
"Whit are you thinking about? he in-
quired.
"Olt, nothing," she replied in a dull
tone.
She ;misted upon going home im-
me•liateafter tea. "I must excuse my-
self to lussie for leaving thein in the
lurch about the drive."
"And won't to -morrow be time enough
for that?" asked the Frau Pastorin, who
had brought out an oil jewel -box. "You
have always wanted to see the brooch
1h{tt. Queen Louisa gave my mother."
"I ani very sorry, but I promised Gus-
sie. when 1 sent word i could not go.'
"Well, well. Good -night, then?
In the hall, where Katie always threw
her arms round f•.rnest's neck, she now
only put her hand for a moment into
his; and when he held her fast to say
w inething kind, with a feeling that per-
haps he had himself been a little -want-
ing in fervor toward his young be-
trothed, he could find nothing to 'say,
and only the old Black .Forest clock
ticked on the wall, for Katie. too, was
silent. She stool witti eyes cast down,
and an expression of pride and perver-
sity about her mouth. Ile put her hand
lc his lips as if to beg for forgiveness.
She laughed shortly. She was think-
ing of that kiss he had given her out-

She refused his escort to -day, also,

"Are you thinking of any one in par-

her heart beat rapidly.
"Te be sure. 1 have been engaged

not consent, and had the poor fellow

Itut Katie put her hands over her

her as if sparks of tiro were dancing
Before her eyes.
"Very well," said Gussie.
They walked on in silence.
On the road on the other side of the
hedge a bay was going by with a con-
certina, and a couple of girls were
tsinging the words of lbe sad soldier's
song, that is a favorite among the pe+o-
ptc in that part of the world:
"Roses ore blooming in the vale,

"And this is ♦what happens

Was the mournful refrain of the last
verse. Katie cast a frowning glance
ncross the hedge, and her head, which
resto.i on Gussie's arra. trembled slight-
ly. "It is too horrible," sho said play-
fully. "for him to kill her en the srot."
"What would you haver" asked Gus-

"Ile would despise me as I should

Katie said no more. After a long
while they went back to the company.
"I really must go house," she said.
She looked very pale.
"I will go with you," cried the little
officer, going out to get his sword and
cap.
Gussie went with them as far as the
gale, anti pressed Katie's arm in tee
dark. "The good fellow," she whisper-

Tho young officer at first walked sil-
ently along beside Katie. "Why will
you not ride?" he asked at length.
"1t would he foolish in me," she re-
plied. and her tone was bitter.
"Why?"
"To learn to ride. I should have no
horse."
"No horse? il'm!"
"Well?"
"Rut It would lee pleasant to know

"Perhaps," she said mockingly. "Pray

"No, t want you to learn to ride. and

"You wish IL?" askem Katie, breath-

"Yes, you will not always stay with

mother—and Auntie Tollen has alnealy
promised that you should—then — then
11 would be a pity 1f you had to sal at

While ho had been speaking, they

Dr. Baez, the historian of Paragiay, says
that the tyranny of Lopez was the most
l.arbarous that history records. The only
excuse ever made fur him is that he, was

Paris to be ready for the coronation just
as soon as he could declare himself King
et more than half of South America. His
idea was to build up a great kingdom,
not by developing its resources but by
k unsling a military despotism.
Ile became a despot wholly unre-
strained by law. All his countrymen
who opposed lura were shot or imprison-

his sisters publicly flogged in the street.

nerves un(1 nerve -ganglia associated with
those organs, which in itself is a delicate
piece of surgicnl work. All the removed
parts he laid aside in a vessel of isotonic
sodium chloride solution.
Those parts, naturally, were then dead.
They were absolutely away from any
connection with living tiseue or other
life-giving material. iL is, to the lay
mind, ono of the marvels of the experi-
ment that they should afterward receive
life again.
In the meantime while these parts were
laid aside, the body of the other nnirnal—
called "the host," in the technical de-
scription—was prepared. Similar parts
were cut out, but flaps and long ends of
flesh and arteries were carefully left, so
that the organs of No. 1 might be
sutured or grafted in their proper places
in the body of "the host."
This was done. Within n few hours, in
every experiment, the organs adapted
themselves to their usual functions in the
new body.
CATS TiiE BEST SUBJECTS.
Dr. Carrel later discovered that cats
w;ero better subjects for such experilnen-
Intiun. and his later tests were made
with thcns. More•than n score of cats
had new kidneys installed. and in his
su►nnling; up. Ur. Carrel says,:
"We may conclude from these results
that the functions of the kidneys re-es-
tablish themselves atter transplanta-
tion."
It is considered no drawback to the
success of the experiments that most of
the animals subsequently died. They
Iiwed for various periods—one eat for
thirty-six days—and then died from
causes not directly allied with the trans-
plantation. Peritonitis killed most. ilut
during their lives after the operations
the action of the transferred organs was
normal.
Dr. Carrel makes no mention in his
report of possibilities of transplantation
from animais to humans. But it Ls along
that lino that his experiments are
directed.
Last Bummer, in Chicago. in conjunc-
tion with Dr. C. C. Guthrie, he succeeded

The length of railway in operation
to British India was appreciably ex.
tended during the decade ending welt
1906. inclusive, the length of line in
working nt the close of 1906 being 20,-
(107 and the progress innde during the
ten years being 7,980 nidles. The chief
extension was in State lines, which ex-
panded during the ten }•curs to the ex-
tent of 5,01G miles. The length of State
lines now in operation amounts to a
mileage of 21,719. Of the original guar-
nntec+d systems the Madras itaiiwny is
now the only one lett; it comprised

DRY FEED FOR COWS.
Cows take kindly to dry fee:1 ,and.
,is a rule, prefer it to that in a sloppy
cond,t:on. 13ecuuSe of the thorough ad-
mixture of the conten'ls of the rumen
where there is abundance of moisture
there seems to be no occas'on for con-
verting meal into slop before feeding.
By supplying the feed .dry the hangers
can be kept more wholesome with less
labor in administering it.
LiVE STOCK NOTES.
After the first four weeks of a lamb's
age, until it is four or five months old,
't should gain in weight at least three-
fourths of a pound daily on an average.
Lambs that are kept for store sheep
should have it fresh piece of grass in
readiness for them on being parted from
their dams. Their feed should be good
always'.
It is a rule which has no exceptions,
we beleleve, that if we feed wisely, the
first 100 pounds weight on n pig or 500
cin a calf or colt, cost considerably leas
than the second and the second less
than the third. This 1•eingti true, the

A criminal association resembling the
Camorra of Whet, and known 03 the
"Crusade" has recently been diecovered
in Rome, Italy. Cases of stabbing and
murder have been very frequent there,
and the criminals not only escape, but
the motives of the crime remain a mys-
tery. A typical case was the murder of
tail old shoemaker, who was blabbed
c::Iring broad daylight. There wns no
clue to the murderer and no clue wail
vassible till the police discovered that
the: old man had been on the friendlies%
terms with n young mnn who, it few
years ago, was one of the worst charac-
ters in itome, but wain is now married
and living% honestly. Investigation 1;1N►wv-
e t that his reformation was due to the

work and continually watched over hien
and kept him straight.
1t seeme that the young man had tleen

Oceming him a traitor, had notified him
that, unless he rejoinei with the band.

maker, and then, it he still refused. Frse .
