I walked up and down the room and
tried to think more calmly. After all I
had no real claim on Miss Bettie. She
had refused me once and never allowed
me to address her again; I could not but
confess th 1t. True, she had let me think
there w . hope, but what woman is
strong enough to refuse to sniff the in-
cense burnt upon the altar of her vanity?
Then Tom, too, was an old and tried
friend. Poor fellow! how he shook and
groomed in his great agony! and if a vici-
ous flirt had cruelly played upon my feel-
ings through him, why should I let that
react upon his head?
No! I would be a Roman! a very
Pythias! I would crush down my own
feelings into my hea1t;I would brave the
mayor 's anger; I would die of smothered
rage, but her feline triumph should be
' cheated of its prey.
Yes, I would do as she had planned for
me. I would see her wed another, would
give her away at the altar, and not one
of the thousand torments that were rend-
ing me should give her _, the expected
pleasure of its evidence.
Twice Tom had raised his head and
moved his lips in a fruitless essay to
speak; twice a torrent of mixed passions
had swept over him:
And then a moment o’er his face
A tablet of unutterable thought was traced,
And then——
he buried it in the pillow again! There
was something in his eyes that made me
shudder with a shapeless, undefined
dread that his reason might give way.
Now he lay quiet. He had ceased to
sob, but his face was still buried in the
pillow, while over and again a quick,
hysteric shudder ran through him.
I laid my hand kindly on his shoulder:
“Tom, old fellow, I was hasty,”
He slipped away from my touch like a
hurt child, and again the shudder, long-
er and more marked than before, thrilled
through him.
I respected his feelings too much to
look upon his suffering; I blew out the
candle.
“My dear old boy!” he muttered hoarse-
ly. The voice was still much broken,
with a hysteric catch in it. I only pressed
his hand for answer, but I felt the bed
shake under me with the effort he made
to control himself.
Then he spoke again.
“We have been friends for years,” he
said. "You know me for a man of honor,
and I pledge you that honor my—my
uncle will be fully and entirely satisfied
when—when he learns—that—that I have
married his daughter!”
Once more his feelings overcame him;
once more he crushed his face into the
pillow while the gust of passion rent and
shook him.
I was more mystified than ever.
Was he deceiving me? No, he was a
man of honor; he would never stoop to
that. But, then, why this terrible emo-
tion he could not control?
A startling thought leaped into my
brain. Great heayens! 1
Had he gotten liquor f1 om Bosley, the
hostler? No, that was too absurd.
I gave it up; I was dead beat.
Still wondering, I threw myself ready
dressed upon the bed. Tom lay quiet
now, but I intended to watch him by
the fitful firelight, lest his intense excite-
ment should make him really ill.
But the narcotic administered by the
ancient spinstei, added to my unwonted
cxe rtions behind those demon horses in
the frosty air, were too much for me.
I slept profoundly.
CHAPTER VI.
THE 11.1111: IIOUR'BEFORE DAY.
“You’ll take Bat,” Tom whispered
homsel'y in my car.
How long I slept I know not, but I
was lying only half awakened when I
‘ heard a very gentle tap at the door.
The moon had risen, and her great
white disk shone clear over the trees,
throwing a broad light into the room.
Tom heard the tap and sprang up On the
instant. By the moonlight I saw that
he was dressed as when he first threw
himself dow,n and could not have been
'to bed. As he opened the door gently:
“Sh—.11, dear Tom!" said a Soft voice
in the hall. "‘The moon is up. and I
heard Bosley take the. sleigh over the
snow about ten minutes since.”
“I'm all ready, Bet dear; we'n’t be a
minute.”
“I couldn’t trust the servants, of
course, and fearing you’d be too late, I
thought I’d call you myself,” Bettie an-
swer'ed; .
Great heavens! what an escape I had
made! How bad I misunderstood that

It was a. mighty one.
as Tom drunk?
Verge or a runaway walking her love;
herself, urging haste in his movements,
and generally being as cool as a cucum-
bar.
“That’s right,” she added coolly.
“Anna’s all ready, and the old lady
sleeps like William Tell; so hurry, dear.”
I breathed a fraction more freely. At
all events, she was to have another fe-
male in the escapade. That would be
more respectable, perhaps, when the af-
fair came to be talked of. But'how had
she persuaded that little milk-and—water
thing to brave her Argus and the pro-
prieties at such an hour and for such a
purpose? '
I actually pinched myself to see if I
was- really awake. The whole thing
seemed like an ugly dream, and I could
scarcely realize that a single day could
have Crowded into it the overturn of all
my hOpes that had almost grown to cer-
tainties; the. substitution of so unex-
pected a rival; and, more than all, the
unheard of fact of Anna Belton stepping
so far out of her modesty as to make me
a formal declaration of love!
No! I was wide awake. _ The Whole
series was only too real, and there was
Bettie Blythe standing at our door in
the gray dawning. She was really going
to run away with her cousin. Shebad
in very fact driv en me to desperation,
and she had actually persuaded the
White Mouse to rebellion.
It was really remarkable what W011-
derful sway she could exert over all who
came within her influence. And yet
there was no tremor in her voice to show
the slightest agitation. By George, she
was going to clandestine matrimony as
she would to her breakfast!
“He’s ready.
course,” Miss Blythe definitely said.
“You told him I would settle that?” '
An 'irrepressible groan of rage and
despair burst from me. They did not
notice it as Tom answered.
“Oh, yes. But you must be careful to
explain fully as soon as you can.’
“Leave him to me,” was the short an-
swer. “NOW wake him.”
“In one minute; he’s all dressed,” Tom
“But you ought to
know that he thinks”-— He stepped into
the hall and drew the door gently behind
him.
He was only gone a moment. A sound
of whispering and a half smothered sob
came over the transom; a light step
tripped up the hall, and Tom re-entered
with hishands pressed overhis face.
Then I knew he had told her how Ihad
spoken. I felt a thrill of triumph that
she heard I had borne the news socalmly.
“Wake up, old fellow.”
Toni stood by my bedside, andI saw in
the moonlight something of the expres-
sion on his face it.had worn the night :be-
fore. It diedout, however, as I spoke.
“I am awake. I have no dressing to
' do, ” I said, gloomily.
We were soon ready. Walking stealth-
ily as burglars, Jones and I reached the
foot of the broad stairway. The back
door stood wide open, and the moon-
lighe. faintly reflected from the dark
panels, showed two rimmed and veiled
figures awaiting us.
“You’ll take Bet,” Tom whispered
boarsely in my ear. Once more, he
pressed both hands against his face as if
to repress his feelings.
Like an animated statue I advanced
and oifered my arm to the veiled figure
nearest me. For I was resolved! She
should never have one ray of triumph
over me to brighten the blackness of the
wrong she was about to do her' doting
father.
I noticed the little hand she rested on
.my arm trembled slightly._ She had
some feeling, then? It was more than I
had suspected, but I only grew stonier
and stonier. I set my face like a flint.
Tom approached her companion very
quietly, drew her arm through his with
. more deference than I thought necessary
with such a weak, inane little brides-
maid. and led the way out of the hall on
tiptoe. Silentas the grave we followed.
As we stepped out into the moonlight
I felt rather than saw the veiled face by
me turn up to mine. I shivered from
head to foot, but that perhaps was part-
ly owing to the bitter cold of the dawn,
and looked straight ahead. Then once
more I heard that bursting but repressed
sigh; once more the tremor of her frame
was so‘painfully evident that I almost
wavered in my belief of her heartless-
ness. Did she at last repent? Did she
really feel the heavy crime she was com-
mitting toward her father? Or, great
heaven! could there be the barest possi-
bility that she‘had awakened? Could she
feel that even now it was not too late—
that she had 'not' utterly thrown away'a
heart she could never replace? There
was such delirium in the bare idea I al-
most framed the wild hope into words;
but pride as much as honor came to my
rescue. I was pledged to Tom, and I
was Silent. ‘
Softly and swiftly we followed the
other couple over the crisp, crackling
surface of the snow; down the broad
lane, under arching t1 ees that sift ed
the moonlight through them in sil-
ver spangles; through: snowclad hedge-
rows standing like an- army of specters
at present arms. p p
Here we found the sleigh, the impaé
tient horses blowing out great clouds of
mist, and .the‘ more impatient groom,
blowing out greater clouds of smoke
from his black pipe.
“Well, leftenant, we’ s pretty nigh
a—freczed, ” was his Salutation. “All
ready, sir, and un’ 13 in fust rate trim: do
the nineteen miles in two hours sure 1’?
Tom answered never a word. He
almost lifted the ligat form of his brides-
maid into the back sea- 0, and as he t icked
the buffalo around her with most 1m-
necessary care I saw she had pressed her
handkerchief to her .eyes and was sob-
bing bitteily. Poor fragile child! I
thought. To feel thus for the folly of
another, and -- that other— I cast one
glance, my first,’ at the still figure on my
arm. Not a sign was there of any emo-
tion, not a single ray of feeling, not a
spark of repentance.
“I’ll drive,” Tom Said to me shortly.
He looked very grave and pale now as
he bundled his bride into the front seat
with much less ceremony than, he had
used to her bridesmaid. Then. he gath- -
cred up the reins as I stepped in beside
the still weeping blonds.
We were of.

HOW A CO-OPERATIVE iCE HOUSE
MAY -BE consrsucrsc.
Ice..No Longer a Luxury, but a Necessity.
Even to the Farmer—Half a Dozen
Persons May Club Together to Build
an Ice House—Ice Pond.
We must be permitted to urge on
cremnerymen, dairymen and farmers
the necessity of plenty of ice or ice cold
waterun summer. It is a good time of
year now to think of this matter. The
following suggestions will be- useful:
The last summer’s experience with the
ice~companies will serve as a warning to
manyrinwthe country who have all the
convenience and chances for keeping
theirwown ice. There is no reason why
asmall ice house should not be attached
terevery farm house of any reasonable .
size. Theneed. of ice for-general farm
purposes-in the summer is- so greatnow
thabone-cannot well afford-to buy all of
thedcemecessary for use. Ice houses can
easily-be—constructed and at very little
cost,and where much ice is consumed
for«dairy=-purposes thesaving ' fromsucb
a-convenience will soon pay for thecost.
Ice houses have been looked upon too
much in the light of luxuries, but'the
day-is coming when they will be con-
sidered necessaries. The best plan of
constructing'ice houses is onsthe co-oper-
ative scheme. «Half a dozen. farmers of.
one locality should construct one on
' shares,.and then fill it with ice in-the
same “way. The outlay of money and
time will then be very small, and the
real-cost of ice in the summer months
practically nothing.
Anzice house built on the cooperative
plan would have the-advantage-of those
built-zby single individuals in being ibet—
ter~constructed and a better‘ice preserv-
ative for a less amount of money. _ Like
all other co-operative enterprises of this
nature, the individual would receive
larger dividends for his invested capital
thaniflput in an enterprise all by‘itself.
Where iceis a. necessarycommoditydn
the summer time itxwould-pay arsmall
cooperative company offarmers to .go to
the-extrazexpense-of digging a pondsfor
this1purpose if nosheet of fresh water 'is
in- the locality. The outlaybere will'be
somewhat heavy at first, butsuch apond
could be made to pay by utilizing the
water in the summer time for irrigation
purposes and in the winter for gather-
ing ice.
The ice house should have double
walls, packed with sawdust, and the
outside wall should be light, and the
building banked so-that the air cannot
have access to the ice from below.
Good drainage should also be had. The
final covering should not be put on after
the house is filled until a vei y cold day
arrives. The more cold that can be shut
up in the ice house the better will the
ice:keep. The. best covering for ice is
the ghost sion-conductor, .andfleecy wool-
lenblankets, if not-so expensive, would
.be-the best covering that could .be-ob-
tained. Sawdust, however, is nearly as
good, and much cheaper, andthisshou’ld

saturated with water, and thus'becomcs

Notes.
If you find'oat bulls in the mill feed
you buy for your cows yOu want to
look out. The rascally dealers in mill
feed are getting a habit of procuring
oat hulls from the cat meal factories
and mixing them with the mill feed,
to delude purchasers into the belief
that the stuff they are buying contains
oats. Substance does not always go
with shuck.
The Creamery Journal is opposed 'to
the plan of taking milk every other day
at the creamery in winter. It says the
extra expense of gathering every day
would be more than compensated by the
gain. The cream can, when left over
night. at the farmer’s, has sometimes
,a way of leaking to the amount of
thirty or forty cents? Worth. This is a
very shocking insinuation. -
You must 110’ longer Speak of sour
cream for churning? You must say
“ripened cream.’

. “The cattle trade in America is rapidly
changing hands,” said..a.southern man-the
other day. “Thecowboy of the prairieis
giving way to thestable boy of the farm,
and the wild cattloof the south and West
are being handled, fed, stabled and curried
into-domesticity, and are being bredmore
to milk than horns. The cowboy and
herdsman came in with ranch life, and
. were preceded bythe cattlemen or cowmen,
who let their cattle run wild, rounding
them up once a year. They were shipped
to Cuba from the southern territory in
thousands fifty years ago, for then America
supplied the Cuban beef market almost ex-
clusively.
“There are plenty of small cattle owners
yet in the south who have herds of from .
100 110800 head, but thewire fence-of the

THE COWBOY.
“Arnold cowman can do things in- his
ownline little short of the marvelous. To
saythathe can looka young steer in the
face-at branding time, and be able to tell
where he can find it when it is old enough
for-beef, is misleading‘inas far as hismode
of ascertaining where it is is concerned, .but
it is not any more surprising than what
he really does.
“Texas cattle are as Wild as deer. Corral
one,.lasso, brand and turn him loose, and
he cuts the wind open, his tail stands out
stiff,.his neck and head are thrown aloft.
.and he bounds forth—away and away,
across the prairie, through the woods,
swamps, underbrush, everything—till he
has. left his tormentors far behind and has
wearied himself with running. He thinks
he' is free, but as the old cowman leans on
the pine rails of the inclosure he thinks to
himself.
“ ‘He’ll be fit for beef in the fall,’ and
feels no misgivings about his hasty depart-
ure. It was my business once to buy cat-
tle from these men for big ranchmen who
were situated farther north and our cow-
boys 'Were always mystified by the peculiar
instincts of these men. To a cowboy a
cow is a cow. He knows nothing of its,
modes of thought, but treats it as a ma.-
chine, belaboring it in one direction or
another. He has noidea, Whata cow or a.
herd Will do, so he rides about it, cuts off
its progress in one direction and stimulates.
it in another.
“On the open plain he' is all right, but in
the woods or alone he is helpless. I re—
member one old cowmanturning to four
of my boys who had succeeded in dispers-

COW SENSE.
“ ‘Look a hyar,” he said, “a caow ain’t a.
beef; it’s acritter. You jes go home. I’ll
bring in the caows about the shank of the
evenin’ myself.’ And he did it.
“It would take a book to tell all that
that these men understand of cow sense,
Their skill is based upon the theory'that
cow mind acts in the same way under'vsim-
ilar circumstances. For instance cattle
have a fear of being ‘bogged’ in mud,
therefore, early in. the day when the herd
is rested if it is driven into a hog hole the
animals will all come out on the other side
without the herdsman having to follow
and chase them through. If they are hun-
gry and an attempt is made to drive them
across good pasturage they Will scatter and
wander. If it is musquito time you can
drive them intoa wood and they will come
out on the-other side, but if'itiis hot'weath-
er- and about .midday they will scatter and
stray in the woods.
“A bull will not let his herd walk. after

and cows and the young calves form the
nucleus around which the gregarious in-
stincts of the animals attract them. If,
therefore. a few young heifers or lively
steers break from the herd and go. gallop-
ing back to the prairie, to pursue-them: is
folly. They will come back if let alone
and bring their tails+behind them.
“This love is almost interminable. An

grounds that suit his declining appetite
and failing teeth. A young bull Will
choose-coarser pastures, where the grass is
luxuriant, but not so tender,.and an-old
