THE BLAGK TERROR. A Romance of Russia. ¢ By JOHN K. LEYS. GTETETETITITICUUSECTELELD, CHAPTER XVII. (Continued.) It wasmew necessary to use the ut- most caution, for the room I was now in was supposed to be empty, and the slightest sound might be overheard by the sentry and lead him to ask what had caused it. With the utmost care I raised the sash of the little window, bent down my ear and’ listened. The regular tramp of the sentry sounded nearer and nearer, as he approached the cor- ner of the house. His footsteps paused an instant and then recommenced, the sound this time gradually decreasing as he drew near the main entrance to the villa. I saw that I must take the opportunity to lower myself to the ground when he was at the other end of his beat. Outside the window’ there w a scroll of ornamental iron work, for holding a box of flowers in position on the sill. I passed my cord around one of the leaves of this ironwork, and drew it through until the iron leaf held } the.cord by the middle. I did not dare -ten it, as it would be necessary ry the cord away with me. If 1 hanging there, it would infalli- et attention as soon as anyone : ed round that end of the villa, or opened a window on that side. Be- sides I might need it in sealing the k wall. As soon as the sentry’s footsteps be- gan once more to recede, I got through the window, pushed down the sash as } gently as I could, and grasping the cord tightly with both han: I let my- self over the ledge and began to slide down the hope. I s, perhaps, half-way down, when T felt something give; a sickening fear shot through my mind, and the next moment I was falling through sp: Even in the act of falling, to remember that the sentry must be ; bout the other end of this short bea ul that it was possible that the noise of the fall might not be heard. The fall shook me considerably, but no bones were broken, and I sprang to my feet. In picking up the cord, my hand came in contact with a rough. just cold object close to it, and I recognized | it as the metal leaf to which I had in- ; trusted my weight. It vy foolish of me to do such a thing, for it was a wonder I cid not break my leg or my neck But I was in such a hurry to escape that I took the first opportunity | that offered. The sentry was now returning, and his steps sounded unpleasantly near. I felt as if I could have touched him by | stretching out my hand. But again the footsteps receded, and I stole cau- rtiously away, taking a slanting direc- tion so that the sentry could not see ‘me on his return journey. As soon as I had got a fair distance from the house I quickened my ps a run, and very soon [ found mj the bottom of a sunk fence wh had not noticed in the harm was done, however. and ran on. In a little while I heard the noise of running, water—not the sound of the ordinary stream, but much more full and harmonious; and on emerging from the shrubs I had been pa me a great white sheet, as it wer sloping upwards; and the water rolling down this slope and ma the most majestic music I ever heat. Then I remewbered that this must De the famous marble stairway—surely the noblest water course in the world. But I had no time to stay and watch the rushing waters. For the moment I wished it had been a moonlight might, that I might see the waterfall in all its beauty; but it was lucky for me that there was no moon, and that the clonds were thick in the sky. Judging that the most unfrequented parts of the park must be at a distance from the marble stairway and remote from the sea, I turned to the south (as mearly as I could judge) and went on past silent avenues ornamented with gleaming statues, along which the leaves were whirling, driven by the rain-laden wind. Keeping the same direction as carefully as I could, I ‘reached at length the high wali that shuts in the park on every side, and in- wures the almost absolute privacy of tthe Czar and his family when they are at Feterhof. The wall was very bigh—at that part I thought about twelve feet—and, to my dismay, I found no trees growing within soine yards of it. It seemed as though they had been removed on pur- pose, so that no one could enter or Jeave the park by the means I had in my mind. What was I todo? There was a cop- ing on the top of the wall, but I had wo hook on the end of my rope, or any- thing whick I could use as a grapnel. got ont, Turnirg to the east, 1 ran parallel to | the wall for a long way, in the hope that I might come to a tree with brancles overhanging the wall, or pos- sibly a srall door which I might force open. But I found neither, though I ‘went so far that I knew I must be get- tirg near the villa again. There was nothing for it but to go back and try in the opposite direction. This I did, and went a long way to the westward, but without seeing any away of escape. When I reached the corner, where ‘the wall turned and ran back towards | athe sea—that is, to the north, I was in ‘despair. Already the dawn was begin- uing to show in the east; in another hour it would be broad daylight, and then what should I do? I might as well walk up to the sentry at the great gate and give myself up. As I stood there, likely to drop with ‘fatigue, means of getting out of the park, th rain came down in torrents, and i sstinctively, though I was nearly as wet as I could be, I crept under the wes ern wall for shelter. Then, thinking T would be better protected at the cor- mor where the two walls—that running I had time | 4 and unable to think of any} north and south and that running east and west, joined each other, I crept | along until I reached the corner. And then I begah to ask myself whether J could ‘not make some use of the anglé formed ‘by the two walls. I had heard of ‘prisoners escaping from | /a prison yard by putting the knees against Ohe wall‘and the back against the other, ‘and gradually working | themselves up. But for me this - was quite ‘impracticable. ‘The angle was ; too obtuse; and; even if it had been an acute one, I-had--not the gymnastic skill for a feat of that kind. 1 did | make the attempt, but soon saw that it was ithpossible. Still, I looked wpon the lofty walls where the coping of the ‘one met the. coping of the other, far above my head, with a dim feeling that here, if IL could only grasp. it, lay to my mind! I had done it! So certain was I that the plan would succeed that I could, have laughed aloud. The rain was still pouring down in bucketfuls, but I did not mind that now. I searched around’ the open ; ground until I found a stone as big as my fist, and then, with a good deal of trouble, I made it fast in the center of my rone. Then tanding a few yards back from the 1, I threw the stone, with the repe attached to it, right over, actly at the point where the two w: met. I then tied one end of the cord to a bush that stood near, and carried the j other end along’ the south wall some | s and fastened it in the same way. 1 to the end I had left at the | urried it along the western i some distance, and tfed it to i or bush. I then returned to the enc the wesie. m wall, and hauled it | down about a yard and tied it. Tt was | | | a slow plan 1f a sure one, and I had to v e in unsuccessful ef- no time forts. By thus hb: | end of the rope. | the other, side of the wall, till, weight- | the stone, it caught on ner of the copestoue, | Where the coping of the west wall met that of the seut: one. All I had to do was to bring the two ends of the repe | carefully togetuer, and I managed to do this without disturbing that part of the rope which Lung on the other side of the wall. In another minute I had scrambled to the top by the help of the rope; and then I had only to let my- iufg alternately at either ed as it was the outside self drop to the ground, taking the cord with me. I was free! CHAPTER XXVIII. A Prince's Gratitude. My first thought, naturally, was to get as far away from Peterhof as I possibly could. tield in which I had landed, and burst- | side, I found myself in a lane leading outhwards. I kept on at the top of i my speed until I came to a village, and then I took to the fields again thought it very likely that there might be a policeman patrolling the streets, who might ask me who I was on where I had come from. By the time I get into the road again at the other side of the little town, it was broad daylight. I had intended to find some wood in which I could hide; for some time at least. It was not yet 6 o'clock, and it was not likely that Czar until after 8. It would be at | least an hour after that, probably much more—before the search for the missing monarch was carried beyond the park gates. In any case, not likely that a man, who presented ehanic, would attract the attention of | the police. My real danger would aris> reported to the chief of the secret po- lice. When that happened, De Noileff an extraordinary likeness to His Maj- esty, and he would be certain to come to the conclusion that I had fooled him. Then I would be safe nowhere within the bounds of the Russian empire. But for some hours, at all events, I would not be suspected. tion, I took a train to a good-sized town a hurdred miles away. There I changed {my name and my nationality. I be- eame Carl Baumgartner, a working carpenter from Germany, because L could speak German with tolerable fiu- ency and had an amateur knowledge of carpentry. In short, I became fa- yvorably known to several inhabitants of the town, and considered myself fairly safe from pursuit. One of the first things I did on the a newspaper. I was anxious to see what the press and the public thought ‘of the mysterious disappearance of the | know whether any guesses had been wade in the right direction. ‘To my amazement, there was not & word that referred to the subject. 1 bought another paper, thinking that, pessibly, the journal had been set up in type before the all-absorbing news reached the editor’s room. Again, com- plete silence, Tt was then that I realized, more ful- ly than I had yet done, what it must be to live in Russia. The fact that the ' Czar had either absconded or been kid- ‘rapped must have been known to sev- eral persons: it was a state event of the solution of this maddening difficul- , ty. And as I gazed, an idea flashed in- | I raised the bight at | I crossed at a run the | ing through the hedge at the farther ; but, on thinking the matter over, I de- | cided that it would be safe to push on | anyone would think of rousing the | it was | the appearance of a broken-down ine- | ; when the Czar’s disappearance was | ‘would be sure to recollect that I bore | So I walked on, and at the first town | I came to that boasted a railway sta- | second day after my escape was to buy | | Emperer, and especially I was eager to | | the first Importance, yet it was kept a profound ‘secret. No editor heard a [wae sper of what .had happened, or, if he heard, ‘he did not dare to hint at {what he knew. The town [was now | living in pwas in constant communica- tion with*the capital, being connected with it by-both rail and telegraph; yet no one except inyself, and possibly’ the heads of the military and the police, so much as dreamed that anything was wrong. And not once, up to the day when t finally left Russia, did I’ hear ‘or read a word that led meé”to suppdse that the secret had become known. Rumors, no doubt, there must have been. A se- cret like that could not be confined to the breasts of those who were in the inner circle at ‘Court. But such ru- | mors as got about were distorted, no doubt, and ‘ineredible. At..any rate, | none of the correspondents of foreign journals then residing in St. Peters- ‘burg thought they amounted to more than silly court gossip:..for, so far as I ever heard,, none, thought it, worth while to reproduce them for the benefit of their French, German or English readers. Sometimes it was reported ‘that His Majesty had a slight cold, or ; Was otherwise indisposed; soinetimes it lwa id that he was too busy’ with af- fairs of state to haye timé ‘for court functions, and seldom left lis apart- ments, But the truth never leaked out “t that speaks well for the fidel- it r the iron discipline, that rules the lives of those Who ‘stand nearest the pervon of the Czar. Of course, my Sole reason for remain- ing in Russia was that I- might go to Loyna and ascertain whether. Prince Kropenski bad been released, and whether he meant to keep the promise he had made me at the instance of Paul von Mitschka. But I knew well that the danger of going there was im- mense, I was certain that De Noillett would expect that I would turn, up there sooner or later, and that he would cause a strict watch to be kept at the village and at the castle itself. Sometimes I wished that I had bh rage to go straight to Loyna escape from Peterhof; but in my calmer moments I recognized the fact that to haye gone there before the Prince had returned and I could count oa his powerful protection would have been little short of madness. At length I could bear t and the suspense no longer. E set out on foot, and making a long circuit, 1 approached Loyna from the so uth. 1 had decided that if I were stopped and questioned by the police I would say that I heard that repairs were going on at the castle, and was going there in rch of work. I had taken care to y since I left Peterhof, and this alone made a considerable ‘Change in my appearance; so that, in my workman's clothes, and carrying a bundle and a basket of tools, I flat- tered myself that I would not be rec- ognized, even if I met anyone who had | known me when T lived at the castle 'T took care that my hands were not ' white or my clothes too clean; Is only at the humbler class of inns, I avoided towns and villages as much ‘as possible. It was nearly a month after the ab- duction of the Czar that I reached a town called Vironorsk, about twelve miles from the castle. I took care to | time my arvival so that I entered the | wretched inn after sundown, Some | men were drinking vodka around the | stove in a room which, in an English inn, would be a kitchen, and as T sat | there trying to warm myself while I | waited for the simple meal T had asked for, I heard someone mention Loy H and then my ear caught the word “fu- neral.” | “Who is dead at Lovna?” I man nearest me. “Who is dead? sure.” é | For the moment my “The Princess!” I € “Yes.

SomeUp-to-Date Hints About Cul- tivation of the Soll and Yields Thereof—Horticulture, Viticalture and Floriculture. Plowing in Oats. I have tried the above method of covering them, says a contributor to Wallace’s Farmer, but did not find it very satisfactory for several reasons. First—It is quite difficult at times, in early spring, when oats should be sown, to get the plow to scour among the heavy stalks that will be found upon the corn fields of a careful and painstaking farmer without plowing the oats under too deeply for best re- sults, Second—The seed will be thrown to- gether somewhat in the furrows and is not scattered as evenly as it should be for best results, Third—If plowed only about three inches deep, as I think it should: be, the harrow will bring many of the stalks to the surface and partly defeat the plan. * * * T think it will be found that more lodged oats are caused by putting the seed in too well than’ by not putting it in well enough. It is quite an objection to have the seed thrown together in the furrows, for it has been my experience and ob- servation that the more evenly oats are scattered the better the results. They should occupy the whole sur- face of the ground evenly, thus giving each plant its share of warmth, light and air. This is the chief objection, I think, to drilling oats. It crowds the plants too much together in the drills. I do not consider it impracticable to plow a stalk field deep enough and thorough enough to cover up all the litter and put the ground in good shape for a meadow, and plow the oats in at the same time. I would prefer to break, rake and burn the stalks, then cultivate the oats and grass seed in, going across the ridges and har- rowing thoroughly afterward. If I used the plow at all would plow and then sow afterward ang harrow down smooth and firm. An objection to plowing at all in my mind is that it leaves the ground too loose and unless the soil is rather heavy, it will dry out too much later in the season. But if the soil is dry enough, and the sea- son permits, this can be avoided by plenty of harrowing or perhaps the use of the roller, and the whole plan will work better. On the contrary if it is rainy and_the soil wet and sticky, and the stalks too tough for the roll- ing cutter to handle, causing the plow to choke, it will be found a very slow and tedious way to put in oats, and vaost likely be abandoned. Some Cheesemaking Methods. The first thing which I observe in the manufacture of cheese is cleanli- ness, not only in the factory, but as well among the different cows and their keepers, writes W. L. McLain in American Cheesemaker. All the ani- mal heat should pass from the morn- ing milk before it is mixed with the evening’s milk and then it is trans- ported without being jarred or jostled very much. In the factory I receive no milk that is in cans which are not daily cleansed and steamed. It must be sweet and pure. Add enough col- oring to give a rich color and then heat the milk slowly to 85 deg. and add diluted rennet. I dilute it to prevent curd before the rennet is thoroughly mixed. It takes about five minutes to mix. I require from 25 to 35 minutes for a good curd. if ever I have a floating curd, I draw off the greater part of the whey and add some moderately warm water. This is to weaken the lactic acid and reduce the acid to the proper amount. Then heat as before, not heating above 95 deg. in cooking. In cooking the maker has the curd under his con- trol, if he has not added too much ren- net. Rennet does not aid in ripening cheese and I use as little as I can. It simply changes the milk into a gela- tinous mass. When the whey is drawn off the curd should be soft and retain moisture, thus being under the com- plete control.of the maker, and it must then cool slowly to 85 degs.; then add salt, but not too heavy. It should be in proportion to the amount of rennet. Then the curd is in its normal state to commence curing. It should be en- tirely free from all taints and odors. Should remain in the press from four to six hours, then be removed | and dressed and placed in press again un- til next morning. The curing room should always be darkened and the samme moderate tem- perature kept, with good ventilation, not allowing gases and foreign sub- stances to enter the room. The cheese should be greased well and turned at six in the morning and again at six in the evening and again at six in the morning of each day. Ten to twelve days are required for my cheese to cure. Milk test—A room especially for that purpose, with milk, acids, and a tem- perature the same. I take a certain amount of acid of a certain known strength to a certain amount of milk at the same temperature. No man can test correctly without knowing first how to test the strength of his acid : used in testing. In no two rooms will 1 the test be the same, as in making cheese. A person must be his own guide, and commander of the situa- tion. In no two days are the results of making cheese the same. Or in no two factories are the results the same. Man, under different circumstances and conditions, must be master of the situation. The Chinese tael is a coin which has never existed. It is simply a unit for convenience. Clover “Hay ‘Worm. - A correspondent, of the Homestead writes that while. putting in hay from a stack the last loads were found fair- ly alive witha small worm about half, an inch long ‘and of dark color, whieh ; appeared to be quite lively. The hay was stacked-on rail bottoms. He de- sires to know what they are, whether , they will work in hay in the mow ; that has been put in directly from the , swath and whether it is the same lit- tle customer in another dress works in cloyer. seed and is called the midge. The Homestead replies: If, as we are inclined to believe from the letter, the hay is clover hay, the worm is probably the clover hay worm, which was. very prevalent in many parts of the West in the spring of 1893. The color of the worm is dark brown and the lower parts of stacks and mows are, in February and March, fairly alive with them. They also work on’ha¥ later in the season. They are the larvae of a purple moth that has a silken luster and two. bright spots on the wings. It is not entirely settled whether the moth lays the eggs that produce the worm exclusively af- ter the hay is put up, or whether eggs are not also laid while the clover 1s yet in the field. The clover hay worm works in mows as well as in stacked hay, and while hay so affected may | be fed out to the cattle if fed early enough, the worms then being con- sumed.along with the hay, if deferred until later the work of the larvae so fills the hay with webs that the cattle will refuse to touch it. From another part of our correspondent’s letter we find that he is putting this hay into a new barn that he has just built. We would advise him not to do this, as | he will be thereby preparing for a big- | ger crop than ever of the hay worm for | the next year. Hay in stacks is gen- erally worked on from the bottom up for about two feet, and the only way ; we know of combating the insect is to take off and feed all the good and burn that that is seriously affected. If it gets into the hay mow the best thing to do isto, clean out the mow thor- oughly and burn that part of the hay | that seems to be affected, and then turn in the chickens. Prof. Webster, in Ohio, in 1891, however, found that the majority of the larvae can be killed by re-stacking the hay and dusting it | with two pounds of powdered pyreth- | rum mixed with ten pounds of flour, te each ten of hay. We would suggest to all our regders who have any consider- | able quantity of clover hay, either in the stack or in the mow, that now is the time, to examine thoroughly, par- ticularly the bottom of the mass, and | see whether it is affected. If it is, and that part of the hay that is being worked: upon can be got at, it should . be destroyed during this month and next, as/later on some moths will be developed early, ready to lay eggs for the following season.” & Early Vegetables. From.Farmers’ Review: Caulifiow- er should be in as general use as is cabbage, Its good qualities merit its general use. Would you be without cabbage’from year to year? Then why be without cauliflower? Do you grow \ and use salsify, the oyster plant? Try it. If you have good success and are as fond of it as some are, you will not let a spring pass without planting it. If you like celery try to grow it. For raising early vegetables now is the! time to begin work. Make a hot bed and have good-sized hardy plants ready for the open ground as soon as_ the weather will admit of their being put | out. Place several loads of horse ma- nure in a flat topped pile and give it a good wetting. After several days it will be steaming vigorously and should be forked over into a similar pile and wet again. After this process has been repeated two or three times, make the manure into a solid bed two feet deep, place a frame on the bed and fill in with four inches of good soil well pul- verized. Sow your seeds, cover light- ly and keep the soil moist. Cover! the frames during nights and cold ‘days with glass, sashes if you have them, but if not, use the best covering iyou have, such as old carpet or | wagon sheet. With this little care you may have an early supply of vegetables. They grow better during early sum- mer before it gets hot and dry, and tomatoes will continue to bear till frost if irrigated, or if the drouth is not severe, Winter Forcing of Rhubarb. When at W. W. Rawson’s place, at Arlington, I made inquiries about forced rhubarb, writes a contributor to Rural New Yorker. Their plan is to put a glass roof over the entire crop. This sounds more troublesome than it really is. The process is sim- ply that of erecting a roughly-con- structed house over the bed. A board wall is set up, about five feet high in the back, and another wall about four feet high in the front. Sashes, sup- ported by scantlings, roof’ the space, and the ends are boarded up. This covering is put over the rhubarb in February, or the beginning of March, according to the season. No heat is given artificially, but the structure conserves the sun’s rays, and the in- creased temperature soon causes the rhubarb to start. Beds treated in this. way should not be under three years old, to get the best results, would not be wise to use the glass covering over the bed two seasons in succession. The plan is much. . less wasteful, as far as plant vitality is concerned, than the lifting of the roots.
