The trio who eat at the table and also the ,emU who waited upon them betrayad ' mnrtomB of, at all events, uneasiness when r L these nnfamUiar and unaccountable HJMi forced themselves more especially upon their notice. .^ ^, Nellie's anxiety extended to another who fM not present, and each morsel that she rttempted to swallow for appearance sake Kerned as though it would choke her, so ilutstbatshewaafainto drop her knife Bid fork and sink back in her chair. »Come, Nellie, there is nothing to be frightened at. We are quite safe at all eiruits, Nothing like having a friend at court, eh? Why, Nell, you may indirectly bethe means of saving your parents' lives ind those of oar entire household as well, for every living soul at Mount Carmel is flsbraoed hi the war minister's invitation, ud sach a thonght should make you glad." "I (hall never know what it is to feel glad any more," sobbed Nellie. "I have a preaectiinent which amounts to a conviction tint my fuiore will be darker than death." As she otters the words an eager and im- patient voice was heard without, apparently iiiiiting on admittance, which was being feebly denied, but an instant later both voices ceased and were succeeded by hurri- td ttrides and the musical ring of spurs along the uncarpeted corridor that was floor- ed with perfumed chunam wood, and then tiie room door was opened violently and Frank Donelly broke into the apartment with a flashed and excited face and blood trickling down his cheek, "Mr. Trezarr, you would not listen to my warning this morning, but for the sake of those you love, I beseech you to give good heed unto me now. The fanatic Mos- lem population of Cairo is up in arms, and the aantons and derv:Bhes are in every di- rection nrging them to a general massacre gf Europeans. Isolated acts of murder bive already been perpetrated, whilst as- aalts and beatings can be counted by the â- cote, hisults and Indignities by the hundred. A poor Christian wonuui has been stoned to death hi the £ibekiah, with a thousand ni£ans standing by and applauding the ut 'lis said that thirty thousand starving Egyptians, all too feeble to move, are prep- py ap naked in thirty tboustuid doorways. With labels attached to their almost fleshless bonea, and written on esMsh in Arabic 'Tbe result of Feringhee competition Get them back the bread that the unbeliever bai stolen from them, and if the breibd can- not be got, then give them blood to drink,' ud yon may depsnd on it the very gutters willmn blood in another hour, aye, perhaps in even less." TbeyouBg uffioer oaased, more apparently becaase he was out of breath than by reason tbst he had no furt ler horrors to relate. Palling out a handkerchief, he began to ipe the thin trickle of blood from off his cbeek, the next inatant answering Nellie's terrified glance with "A mere prick, that l all; but the fellow who gave it to me is put doing any further mischief. I returned bim more than a Roland for his Oliver, at »11 events." "What b to be done?" ejaculated Mrs. Uezarr, for a moment losing confidenee Ten h the war minister, and she looked udonaly at her husband as she put tiie qneation. "What you decide on doing should be deoe at once," broke in Frank, without al- j;!â„¢8 Mr. Irezarr time to make reply. xou flight should be immediate, and not ^nili for tbe station is already crowded t? tefugeeB who can't get away by reason jMt there are not half snffiaient carriages "hold them or engines to draw them.

'Tor heavea'a sake,.Nelliak grant me five minutes in the garden before we are parted, perhaps for ever." said Frank, purposely using such words as should allay any suspi- cions on Mrs. Trezarr's part shonld she hap- pen to hear what he was saying. But the buxom dame was too exdted to. either hear er heed. "Nellie, follow me at once to ohange your dress and look out what we are to take with us," she said, rising to her feet and sailing majestically out of the room, and Mr. Tre- zarr at once scurried after her to ascertain if the war minister had sent an cffiaer in com- mand of the esoort sufiBcientiy high in rank as to necessitate his being asked indoors and shown a certain degree of civility and polite- ness. Directly both father and mother had dis- appeared, the young Irish dragoon whiq)er- ed hurriedly in Nellie's ear: "This has happened opportunely. Come into the gar- den the window is open we have but to raise the Venetians and step ont.^ The lovely girl followed him swiftly and eagerly. The servants, of course, did not venture to oppose her exit, and a minute later the lawn was reached, when Frank turned round, folded her in his arms and olaspsd be: to his heart, at the saoie time exclaiming "Oh, my darling, if we part now I feel as- sured not only that we shall never pieet agaii but that your future will be a living grave in that grim pasha's harem. Shonld once its wall enolose you he will never per- mit you to leave them more." "Frank, I feel so, too,* but, oh, what h to be done " responded Nellie, piteously. "Exactly that which we planned to do some three hourj later, with trifling varia- tions, such as altered ciroumstanoes render necessary. But this is a time for action and not for explanation, for every moment's start that we can obtain may be of the ut- most value to us. Just outside that little door in the garden wall Is my man, Pat Monaghaa, with two horses as fre^ as daisies and lively with their supper of oats. Yon must mount ane and I the other, Pat will follow us in whatever he can beg, bor- row or steal, and in an hour we shall have left Ca'ro and its bloodthirsty population for behind us." "But my parents, ' Frank t How oan I de ert them at such a time 7" '-Under Arabi Pasha's pmteotion no pos- sible danger cam menace t^m." "I believe that. Button this dress. How oan I monnta horse dad thus T" And. the lovely girl glanoed deprecatingly at the snow white neok, shoulders and aims that were so liberally revealed by her' rich dinner robe. For goodness sake regard not such trifles at a moment like the present. The Egyp- tian night is so warm that there will be no fear of your catching cold, and did yon re- enter the hoDse to change your apparel yon would never suoceed in leaving it again. Oh, do not lose the one and only opportunity that has been afforded us by Providence. Hark, they are calling to us already." It was her father's voice, and speaking in stem, peremptory tones. That decided her. Soe spoke no word, but started across the lawn, like a timid fawn, in the direotieh of the door in tbe wall. ' S3 great was her speed that her compan- ion could hardly overtake her. But when the wall was reached she reel- ed up against with both bands pressed against her throbbing heart, owing to her breatlilessifess and her exdtement. The dragoon unfastened the door, plaoed an arm around her waist, half swung her out into the roai^n^y, and then said to a fig- ure that loomed dimly out of the gloom "Offwithyon, Pat, and lift this young lady into your saddle like lightning." No sooner aaid than done. It was a side saddle, and as Nellie involuntarily kicked her foot into the stirrup and gathered up the reins she felt a retain of courage and confid- ence. "Pat, yoahave as m^ny Mves as a cat and as many resources as a fox. Tve no fear tor you. Nevertheless, get a mount as fast Ki you can and come after ns like ' team. We shall cross the bridge and journey down en the lelt bank of the Nile.

"Bedad, yer honor, and 111 have a bone between my legs in five minntee H ye'U only be setting away with the L.dy lastead of BDeechlfytng," and with these words Pat ifonaghaalarted away toward «» m^ en- trance to Mount Carmel, whilst Fnmk wheeled Nellie's steed round In an oppodte direction.

"Or aboard some Eaglish vessel fa the harbor almost as soon as they arrive." They had by this time turned off into the road that led unto the bridge, and fa about fivemmutes they were crossing its resound fag planks, to the aooompan.ment of the hoarse murmur of the Nile, as it. n^id cur- rent swept on towards the distuit sea the same current which fa past ag's has borne successively to conquest the Eshiopian, the Assyrian, the Persfan, the Roman and the Sar- acen, for eaoh fa turn wielded the destinies of Eityyt, and the young dragoon may be forgiven whibt these evente reoorred to his mfad for wimderfag If the soarlet uniformed soldiers of Great Britafa were destined to next tread that Ustorio soU fa the character of oonqnorors. His sUence oppressed his oompanion with a sense of danger, and she exclaimed "Of what are you thinking, Frank T Have any new perils presented themselves to you T" "No, darling," and he forthwith told her of what he had been pondering. Nellie made no answer, iudeed her horse required no littie care and attention. The spiiited animal seemed disposed to shy and rear, for the slightly swayfag and heaving planks of the pontoon bridge were not at all to his likmg and the shimmering of the water and of the stars that were reflectr^d therefa added to his uneasiness for a horse is at one and the same time the bravest and most cowardly of animals brave when op- posed to a danger that he fully oompre- hends, cowardly when brouebt in contact with anything imusual thathe fails to ex actiy understand. m m they had jaat kit behind mm Bf ^_^ it Waan atteadynmsMd.

In an fastent. however, Frank's hand and voice had restored bim to promise obedieno tiiough he still treihbled, uorted, pricked bis ears sharply forward and gazed nerv- ously at something la the river Nellie's btautlful eyes being riveted with horror on apparentiy the same spot, the yoimg dragoon turned to look fa the same direction, when he beheld floating dose to the bridge amidst a tacgled maze of snowy lotus flowers tbe dead body of a Ean peMi. It had evidentiy been partially stripped of ite clothing before befag consigned to the river, which revealed the fact that not only was the throat cut across, but that tiie chest was riddled with knife stabs, and it was the phosphorescent gtow given forth from tbe putrefying body that revealed ita presence and that of the fliwers amongst whioh it floated. "Nellie, if the sight is so temble, ^riiy not look another way. I fear that such victims will be counted by the hundred this night fa yonder dty. Hark, I oan hear ories of terror or of anguish from that direc- tion even now, darling. Let us press on There ie-.v time to be lort."

"Nellie, we are porausd," added Frank, taming to his girl companion, "for my brave but blundering follower ha. contrived to set tbe sleuth hounds of the war minis- ter upon the right scent. Have not the slightest fear that they will overtake us, however." "Nor will I have such a fear," reqpond- ed Nellie, valoroualy, and she was the first to inert a«e the speed of her horse, sitting tbe fine animal Uka an Amazon. (TO B. coNTitnrxD.) TKB FABM.

Henoe when and how to apffly It fa tiiemort eoonomlcal manner, 1. a natter ef no littie faiportanoe. The wfater or early sprfag when the grotud Is frozen Is for several rea- sons, a very favorable time for hauling out manure. Ev. ry fanner sl|onld endeavor to keep his help and teams is industriously employed as is reaMmable dnfag the whole year, aad all jib. whioh eaii a. wellbedone during wfater, should be attinded to at that time. Hauling out Lteble manore Mem. to be one of these jobs, which oan not only be done as well, but muoh better, fa wfater, when the ground is frozen, if know is not deepi as atany othe« time-il tbe.year. Of course this implies that the Darn cel- lar or other plaoe where the manure is sufficiently protected to avoid muoh f rott fa th«maaui«, and provided -with doors that can be opened or dosed at any time. If drawn out during wfater it not- only fur- nishes work for help and teams which other- wise might not b« employed, but the ground being frozen solid, and the teams fa good heart, they will often haul with ease loads of double the size they could i^tor the frost Is out of tbe ground in epring, and especial- ly oveir land which, after the frost is out, would be so wet andaof t as to be almost im- passable. Weoan not afford to handle manure more than is abBolately necessary, aad when we draw it to the field we shonld put it where it is to stay, either by spreadfag it directly from tbe cart, or by putting it fa small heaps to be spread before they are soaked by ram or frozen so they cannot be «pread with ease. We cannot aff jrd fa ordinary farm practice, to pile manure fa the field and then load it agafa. Bat leavfag manure fa small heaps on the fields dnrlog wfater I consider one of tbe least conveuient ways of managfag it, and thongh it is often done by good f Aimers, yet it I loks to me like a very shiftiest prac- tice. «A mnoh bfltt«r way is to spread it from tbe oart. This is not tbe best but the easioat way of handling it. When spread fa this way the sola ible pa te will be soak- by the rains evenly into the soil just where they are n«ieded ani not fa spots, as they would be if left long in small heaj^s. Many fear, that if manure is left spread on the sarface for any length of time it will waste by evaporation, bat I am satisfied, by a careful study of the kc'.entifio aspect of the case, as well as by my own observation, that there is no appreciable loss fa this way by tbe exposure of unfermentod manure, and that the only possible loss of say amount is by washing off from very hilly land, when tht ground is frozen, aad that this loss is seldom great. 8u:iiiac; the Farm Away.
