Such fHlabby â€" representation â€" as they might make Martha augured little rood of. Herr Zunmermann she deemed trapped, nor likely to esâ€" * cape from the toils for time undeâ€" _ #*finable. They had done all they could. She could suggest nothing more. How a powerful man "like _ Caspar could have been so easily __ _ tricked was beyond Martha‘s comâ€" &prshension, bub that he had been romehowâ€"got into that chest the girl held fixed as that the sun shone in the heavens. What foul play bad led to it? Had he been drugâ€" ged? the time seemed searce to adâ€" }" wmit it. Violence would have arousâ€" e ed the neighbors. It was a cirecumâ€" f stance past comprehension. _ Yet L there stood the fact clear and inâ€" â€" _ dubitable. Von Hompesch and his : men were gone, and Herr Zimmerâ€" 2 mann and the chest gone with them. "It serves you perfectly right: » father. Ib would have been no more than our due, had thero not been one stone left standing of the ‘Golden Eagle.‘ .

Had they shown cbut the promptitude of men and ‘the spirit of a sparrow, the Prusâ€" sians would never have won through the gates. Small help we‘re Jlike to get from shivering hearts like theirs, I ween. They fear this King Friedrich as if he was the foul fierd himself. _ No, Martha, ‘tis ourselves must help ourselves. Caspar‘s safety, nay, life, you said toâ€"day rested on me. It does yet, ‘and I‘ll not fail him. But how to serve him! bhow to serve him?‘ and Gredel once more resumed her temâ€" pestuous pacing up and down the room. 4 That Gredel‘s disposition is by no means mereâ€" milkâ€"andâ€"water, Martha is well aware, but even the chambermaid stands aghast at the bitter tongue her mistress disâ€" covers toâ€"night. Rabbed of her & mate, the doe develops somewhat 'Qf the tigress. ~Martha having so far failed in her designs for the rescue of Cast par Zimmermann, feeling conscious of having been thoroughly outwitâ€" â€"‘ted by the crafty Hoffmann, and all ‘destitute of further advice to suggest that might succor that hapâ€" less carpenter, sits silently spinâ€" ning, and inwardly trusting that Gredel‘s sharp speech may not set her own way. Bold and true of ~heart too, this girl, could she but see possible action to be taken in this matter. But all she could think of has been tried, and the result is Caspar Zimmermann has been kidâ€" napped by these accursed Prussians and that Max Bauer lies in grievous state in the hospital of Zweidorf, mawith warrant out against him for fi(’iting riotb and other tempestuous pheavals ‘ ‘And you," cries Gredel, stopâ€" ping sudaenly in her stormy pacâ€" ing, and confronting the handmaiâ€" den fiereely, ‘"‘what have you to say, now alil your fine schemes are blown to shreds, and have served Caspar no whit?

I did all I could think ofâ€"myself, though, alas without avail. That I was right in my conjecture that Caspar was entrapped into that fatal chest, and so smuggled withâ€" out the city gates, I feel confident. I will stand by you in anything, but, Gredel, I am fain to confess I can see nothing we can do further than put pressure on the council to require strict investigation from King Friedrich of the case." £ may require or . you, Martha G@ood.

That Gredel was in no way deficient in spirit she had known for some time past; but that this girl, who had at the first discovery of her lover‘s danger apâ€" peared so broken down and helpâ€" less, bad required the rousing of her own sharp tongue to urge her to do what in Martha‘s eyes seoemâ€" ed to offer the sole chance of resâ€" cuing Caspar from the trap into which he had fallen, should now with high resolve project what the chambermaid viewed as a very desâ€" perate undertaking indoed, filled ber with amazement.. She saw clearly enough, that fraught with difficulty and somerâ€"danger as it inâ€" dubitably was, it afforded far more probability of procuring Caspar‘s liberty than any other scheme that could be devised. If speech could but be had of the, Prussian monâ€" arch, and he was just the man reâ€" port said he was, then assuredly Herr Zimmermann‘s release was procured. â€"But Martha deemed that by ‘no means easy to accomplish. She could searce refrain from a slight laugh at the change of situaâ€" tion between herself and her migâ€"> tress. _A few hours back, and it was for: her to think, to counsel ; row they had shifted this relationâ€" ship, and it was Gredel who plotted out and decided on their aet‘i(ms.‘ The girl â€"was transformed into a‘ shrewdâ€"witted, resolute woman; a woman too, robbed of her lover and ‘ keer to reseue him, or revenge him, as cirecumstances might dictate. Ofedel, meanwhile, stood frontâ€" ing the fire and lost in thought, gazing into the embers as if seeking further inspiration therein.. At last } she raissd her head and said slowâ€" | ly, "‘We must start to night; you. will come with me or I â€"must go. alone.""‘ 1 ‘"Gredel !‘‘ cried Martha reâ€" proachfully, "do you deem I could let you start on this errand withâ€" out me? I thought you knew me better,"" and \ the â€" chambermaid‘s disturbed face showed how much she feltâ€"aggrieved at the bare sugâ€" gestion.. ‘"Come weal, come woe,"‘ she exclaimed. vehemently, ‘"my place is by your side in this busiâ€" ness. Try me, my dear, and see if I flinch or fail you. Deceived have I been like the rest of us, but you go not on this journey. without ez "I can trust you, Eâ€"know," reâ€" plied Gredel, with a smile, "and forgive me if bitter words ‘scaped my lips to you awhile back, but my heart is sore wrung ; â€"and we are not masters of our tongues at such times.. But quick, Martha, let‘s be d4loing. See to it there is cart and horse for us as soon s "I don‘t. know ;« time enough to think of that when we réach Mulich. But _ when one lovess Martha, and the fulflment of that love depends upon our own exerâ€" tions, there is nothing impossible. Had you told me yesterday,‘"‘ conâ€" tinued Gredel, with a faint smile, ‘"that I could dare facse the burgoâ€" master and council as. I did but a few hours since, I had said you nay. Yet my heart failed me not this afternoon." ‘"But how do you expect to win your way to the king‘s presence. Gredel?‘ inquired the chamberâ€" maid. ‘These kings are not . so easily come at as our councillors here in Zweidorf. â€"Plain folks like you and I will find it hard, I trow> to get speech with him." Martha listened to her mistress‘s speech in mute astonishment. Gredel spoke in quiet resolute tones, very different from the fierce splenetic talk she had waged preâ€" vious to arriving at this determinaâ€" tion. "His great camp is but ten leagues or so distant, and men say he is there commanding in person. Martha, I mean going to this camp of Mulich. I mean to ask Caspar‘s liberty from his Majesty‘s own self. His own lips should. deal out reprimand to these villains who break the laws in his name and trepan honest citizens from their lawful callings. If he be just, as men say, he will right Caspar‘s wrongs ; if he be not, God help me and Caspar, for we shall need it sorely." Martha said nothing, but gazed with deep curiosity into her misâ€" tress‘s face. tively, with quick glance of her blue eyes. _. ‘"‘Listen," said Gredel. "I have heard that this Prussian king, if he be a hard man, is a just man. I intend to make a trial of whether rumor speaks truth in this matâ€" ter:" ‘‘That you may,‘"‘ replied the chambermaid _ earnestly. "‘Show me but how I can serve you and Caspar, and trust ms to do my best. ‘Tis my wit, not my will fails me. I can think of nothing that may help him.‘"‘ | _The imperfections of. travel in those early days of the last century are hardly to be understanded by the presented generation,â€"times in which roads might have been more preperly designated tracks. _ When ’fords, often rendered impracticable by a sudden freshet, were the subâ€" ‘stitute â€"for bridges; when those with long. purses even, dragged along in cumbersome carriages with aix horses struggling at the tracesi sinking often to the very axle, and feeling content with an average progress of some halfâ€"dozen miles in the bour. Things were no differâ€" ent in England than they were in other countries; and, in George the Second‘s days, the grandees of our land went through much triâ€" bulation aâ€".o. Natashup in thers journeyings to. and fro. We of the rineteenth century think little of distance, but a seore or two miles & hundred and . fifty years ago took some compassing. Our predeâ€" cessors felt an anxiety about the moon of which we are comparatively oblivious. They. had a knowledge of quagmires, ditches, broken gear, losing their way, impassable fords knights of the road, and utterly knockedâ€"up horses, of which we have been brought up in happy ignorance. The: country . round _ Zweidort offered no immunity from the woes of other districts at that epoch denominated civilized. The main road which ran through the town was fair enough, but when you diâ€" verged into any of the numerous byeâ€"ways, they presented the usual characteristics Iâ€" have mentioned. The way to Mulich wasâ€"one of these crossâ€"country tracks. Anâ€"hour from that time, and such was Martha‘s diligence that Officer Haggermann had bid them God speed on their journey, and was left pondering as to whether he had not once more committed grievous error in allowing a cart to pass the gate. Some idea indeed had posâ€" ‘ sessed his much perplexed brains of |â€"detaining them till sunrise, but Martha‘s shrill tongue had comâ€" pletely paralyzed that worthy. A | platoon of musketeers indeed would hbave shrunk from such encounter I.zmd Cfficer Haggermann was comâ€" pletely cowed by the vituperative ldem-and, ‘‘whether, after conniving at the escape of Prussian kidnapâ€" pers, he thought stopping honest women on their lawful business was to put him straight with the lads of Zweirdorf!‘ Officer Haggermann, by this time aware of the uproar in the city, and no stranger to Marâ€" Itha’s late maenadic gifts, thought h best at all events to offer no Iprovocation to one whom he deem> ‘e-d had the ear of the mob ; someâ€" what conscious by this time, too, !that' it was possible he might be stormily accused of lack of vigilâ€" ‘ance on his post. Much reverence for the democracy in their wrath had Officer Haggermann. J The sun was high in the heavens, and Albert Klopstock (a cousin this of the ne‘erâ€"toâ€"doâ€"weel Hans, and a devoted admirer of Martha‘s), tlzlvelâ€"stamed and weary, &sS the little Cart pamiully gamed a niliâ€" top, and the trio looked down upon the camp of King Friedrich. _ The white tents stretched far away in the valley beneath them, and dark quickly stops coughs, cures colds, heals | the throat end lusgs. + s s 25 centgs Tflw_mé@ to Suffering erRzuvons CGuro may be.

RESCUED 3Â¥ " FRUITâ€"Aâ€"TIVES" CHAPTER XIV In seventyâ€"five per cent. of the great producers in my breéd, we find a certain rugged, angularity of form. ‘The lgrget paunchâ€"a big basketâ€"almost! always, accompanâ€" ies the power to produce heavily. And yet the large paunch and the Delicacy of outline means too ofâ€" ten lack of ability to endure the strain of large production. ; We hear a great deal said about the straight back‘‘ when if we look at the great cows in any breed that have given name fame to their breed, the straight back rarely preâ€" vails. Why is it that breeders and judges are so unwilling to be guidâ€" ed by nature‘ in her effort to fashâ€" ion a cow that shall be a large proâ€" ducer 2 But among the Jerseys and Guernseys serious danger exists toâ€" day of being led away from the final goal in a vain pursuit after beauty of form. Hence the showâ€"ring and its attendant ideas of outline keep crowding in upon us in every effort to breed large producing animals with strong, enduring constitution. Fortunately â€" for the Holstein breed," and considerably so among the Ayrshires these notions of atâ€" tenuated refinement do not exist to any great degree. . Consequently the breeders of these cattle, especiâ€" ally the Holsteins, have followed the teachings of nature, with only one dominating idea,â€"since they got rid of the dualâ€"purpose notion, â€"that of breeding for large proâ€" ducing animal alone. ‘‘Say near to Caspar‘s rescue,‘"‘ whispered Gredel, her blue eyes flashing with excitement. ‘‘Which is the king‘s tent of all those, think vou p> \ "It were hard to tell at this disâ€" tance, but I doubt not we. shall easily discover it when we are once within the camp.‘‘ (To be continued.) g On the Farm §210%%8%08%%0084%00%% 0 masses of troops could be described going through various evolutions their bayonets glittering in the sunâ€" licht. ~ ‘"The camp!_ Gredel,"" exclaimed Martha, as she pointed to_ the canvasâ€"built town at their feet. ‘‘We are near our journey‘s end Trow.." "In our efforts to promote the dairy quality in our cows we must not lose sight of beauty."‘ It is the candid opinion of Hoard‘s Dairyman that no one thing has hindered so much the progress of »making large , proâ€" ducing cows as this vain struggle after soâ€"called beauty. We say ‘"‘soâ€"called"" for the reason that no two men will agreeâ€" on what they mean by "‘beauty." Some think delicacy of form, a certain reffnement of head, body and legs, constitute ‘"beauty."‘ Others look for impressiveness, that something that goes with size, amâ€" plitude of form, making what they would call a "grand looking cow."‘ A large number of prominent men in all four of the dairy breeds are very fond of saying something like this : ; But the majority consider beauty to be a certain refined feminity of form, which we see more in the Isâ€" land bred. type of Jerseys and Guernseys. %*%%°%%2064%8%0008 008062 BEAUTY AND UTILITY. _FZEMER \ (caX po wirr.

If we inject artifice of the main noâ€" tions of outline, of beauty or of fancy of any kind, we will do so at the sacrifice of the main purpose we are after. Consider, first that the animal body is a mechanical contrivance. Everywhere in meâ€" chanies the machine must have a form suited to its function. The great ruling idea of nature is funcâ€" tion. With the sewing machine it is sewing, with the mowing machine it is mowing. Each machine must have form suited to its purpose, its function. We believe breeders _ should look after two things in their breeding : a constantly increasing power to produce well and strong, enduring constitution. Now, the latter too frequently does not accompany the refined beauty type. 3 We must study more the phyâ€" siology of dairy breeding. That will teach us that certain things do not harmonize well, such, for in: stance, as beauty of form and conâ€" stitution ; beauty of form and large capacity for production. rugged outline do not suit the pre vailing notions of beauty. Let the chief aim and end of breeding be the production of bulls of strong constitution and prepotâ€" ency and cows of a vigorous, ample type of body. â€"To this end we must study well the limitations of form as nature prescribes them in the best specimens of the breed. We must remember always that we,cannot go beyond the nature of anything. All there is to breedâ€" ing improved animals of any kind is to amplify or increase the funcâ€" tion we so much desire.
