CHAPTER XXVIII. (Continued. )

‘I don’t know what you mean by flirting,’ said Adam, ‘but if you mean behaving to a woman as if you loved her, and yet not loving ber all the while, I say that’s not th’ , action of an honest man, and what isn’t, honest does come t’ harm. I’m not a fool, and you're not a fool, and you know better than what you’re saying. You know it couldn’t be made public as you’ve behaved | to Hetty as y’ have done, without her) losing her character, and bringing shame, and trouble on her and her relations. What if you meant nothing by your kissing and your presents? Other folks won't believe as you’ve meant nothing; and don’t tell me about her not deceiving herself. I tell you as you’ve filled her mind so with the thought of you as it'll mayhap poison her life; and she'll never love another man as ud make her a good husband.’

Arthur had felt a sudden relief while Adam was speaking ; he perceived that Adam had ne positive knowledge of the past, and that there was no irrevocable damage done by this evening’s unfortunate rencontre. Adam could still be deceived. The candid Arthur had brought himself into a position in which successful lying was his only hope. The hope allayed his anger a little.

‘Well, Adam,’ he said, in a tone of friendly concession, ‘you’re perhaps right. Perhaps I’ve gone a little too far in taking notice of the pretty thing, and stealing a kiss now and then. You're such a grave, steady fellow, you don’t understand the temptation to such trifling. Pm sure I wouldn’t bring any trouble or annoyance on her and the good Poysers on any account if Icould help it. ButTI think you looka little too seriously at it. You know I’m going away immediately, sol shan’t make any more mistakes of the kind. But let us say good-night’— Arthur here turned round to walk on—‘and talk no more about the The whole thing will soon be for-

matter. gotten.’

‘No, by God! Adam burst out, with rage that could be controlled no longer, throwing down the basket of tools and striding forward until he was right in front of Arthur. All his jealously and sense of personal injury which he had been hitherto trying to keep under, had Jeaped up and mastered him. What man of us, in the first moments of a sharp agony, could ever feel that the fellow-man who has been the medium of inflicting it did not mean to hurt us? In our instinctive re- bellion against pain we are children again, and demand an active will to wreck our vengeance on. Adam at this moment could only feel that he had been robbed of Hetty —robbed treacherously by the man in whom he had trusted; and he stood close in front of Arthur, with fierce eyes glaring at him; with pale lips and clenched hands, the hard tones in which he had hitherto been con- straining himself to expressno more than a just indignation, giving way to a deep agitated voice that seemed to shake him as he spoke.

o, it'll not be soon forgot, as you've come in between her and me, when she might ha’ loved me—it’ll not be soon for- got, as you've robbed me o’ my happiness while I thought you was my best friend, and a noble-minded man, as I was proud to work for. And you've been kissing her, and meaning nothing, have you ! And I never kissed her i? m life, but Id ha’ worked hard for years for the right to kissher. And you make light of it. You think little o’ doing what may damage other folks, so as you get your bit o’ trifling, as means nothing. I throw back your favors, for you’re not the man I took you for. [ll never count you my friend any more. I’d rather you'd act as my enemy, and fight me where | stand— it’s ail the amends you can make me.’

Poor Adam, possessed by rage that could find no other vent, began to throw off his coat and cap, too blind with passion to notice the change that had taken place in Arthur while he was speaking.

Arthur’s lips were now as pale as Adam's; his heart was beating violently. The dis- covery that Adam loved Hetty was a shock which made him for the moment see him- self in the light of Adam’s indignation, and regard Adam’s suffering as not merely a consequence, but an element of his error. The words of hatred and contempt— the first he had ever heard in his life—-seemed like scorching missiles that were making ineffaceable scars on him. All screening self-excuse, which rarely falls quite away while others respect us, forsook him for an instent, and he _ stood face to face with the first great irrevocable evil he had ever committed. He was only twenty-one— and—three months: ago —nay. mucli later—he had thought proudly that no man should ever be able to re- proach him justly. His first impulse, if there had been time for it, would perhaps have been to utter words of propitiation ; but Adam had uo sooner thrown off his coat and cap than he became aware that Arthur was standing pale and motionless, with his hands still thrust in his waistcoat pockets.

‘What he said, ‘won’t you fight me like a man? You know I won't strike you while you stand so.’

‘Go away, Adam,’ said Arthur, ‘I don’t want to fight you.’

‘No,’ said Adam, bitterly, ‘you don’t want to fight me ; yoa think I’m a common man, a8 you can injure without answering

love you,’ said

‘Go way, I tell you,’ said Arthur, angrily, ‘or we shall both repent.’

Y | to Chicago and St. Louis.

hand was clenched, and dealt a blow like lightning, which sent Adam staggering backward. His blood was as thoroughly up as Adam's now, and the two men, forget- ting the emotions that had gone before, fought with the instinctive fierceness of panthers in the deepening twilight darken- ed by the trees. The delicate-handed gentleman was a maich for the workman in every thing but strength, and Arthur's skill in sparring enabled him to protract the struggle fur some long moments. But, be- tween unarmed men, the battle is to the strong, where the strong is no hlunderer, and Arthur must sink under a well- -planted blow of Adam’s as a steel rod is broken by an iron bar. The blow soon came and Arthur fell, his head lying concealed in a tuft of fern, so that Adam could only dis. cern his darkly clad body.

He stood still in the dim light, waiting for Arthur to rise. The blow had been ‘given now, toward which he had been straining all the force of nerve and muscle —and what was the good of it? What had he done by fighting! Oniy satisfied his own passion, only wreaked his own vengeance. He had not rescued Hetty; not changed the past—there it was, just as it had been; and he sickened at the vanity of his own rage.

But why did not Arthur rise? He was perfectly motionless, ard the time seemed long to Adam.——Good God! had the blow been too much for him? Adam shuddered at the thought of his own strength, as with the encoming of his dread he knelt down by Arthur's side and lifted his head from among the fern. There was no sign of life: the eyes and teeth were set. The horror that rushed over Adam com- pletely mastered him, and forced upon him his own belief. He could feel nothing but that death was in Arthur's face, and he was helpless before it. He made not a single movement, but knelt like an image of de- spair gazing at an image of death.

Farming in Iowa.

AN INTERESTING SKETCH BY A_ PRINCE

EDWARD ISLANDER.

Sir,—I send you a short sketch of the mode of farming in Iowa. I may say that corn, hogs and cattle are the principal pro- ducts of this State. Farming as a general thing begins about the 15th March, when small grain, oats, flax and wheat are sown. Corn is planted in April and May. It is dropped by a planter 3 feet 8 inches apart, and ranges everyway, like the squares on a checker board. A man and team plants from eight to ten acresa day. As soon as the corn is up a few inches, cultivators are run through the rows. It is cultivated three times. The last time the earth is thrown up against the corn. If the season is good, corn generally turns out from 40 to 60 bushels per acre, although as high as 80-and 100 are sometimes obtained on the bottom lands. Corn can be planted for any length of time on the bottom lands without change of crop. Lowa is in the corn belt, and leads all the other States this season by 2,000,000 bushels. It also Yaisés more hogs than any State in the Union. Asa general thing they are shipped A car contains about 65 hogs. Large quantities are packed in Ceuncil Bluffs and other large towns. It is a common thing to see 400 or 500 steers feeding on some of the farms. Some feeders raise as much as 1500 acres of corn, and buy large quantities besides what they raise. Farmers get about 5} to 6 cents (live weight) for steers. Hogs range this season about 5 cenis (live weight). The favorite breeds are Poland China and Berkshire. As many as 115,000 arrived at the stock yards in Chicago some days this fall. The threshing is done up in quick shape—a machins threshing from 2,000 to 3,000 bushels per day. The straw is burned, Cattle are not housed, and roam over the corn fields after the corn is gathered. It is considered better feed for cattle than hay.

There is quite a number of Island folks farming and stock-raising in this township, four of them being the McKenzie brothers, from Rose Valley. They do alarge farming business, and have been in this section of the country for fifteen years.

Council Bluffs is the county seat of this county. It is quite a smart city. lt has thirteen railways entering the city, and as many as one hundred and twenty trains are daily made up. The Union VPacilic

depot is on the Council Bluils side of the

Missouri River, and trains from the east and west run to this depot.

Island girls that want a soft seaf had bet- ter come out in this directiow. The men do all the milking—and, I may say, wash- ing and scrubbing.

This. is a Prohibjtion State, and it is thought that more beer and ‘forty-rod whiskey iseold than in any other State. There is a mixed population, the Dutch and Germans predominating
