Alfred Lnking, too startled to conceal

"A very flno atory," said Alfred

how is it that Mr. May no has never
written to inform me of tho allowed
will?" , .' , ,
"Because, in the first plr.co, I doubt
if ho is awaro of the Colonel's death;

"Thou do yo i mean to sny thnt Mr.

impressively.
It win iuipossiblo to Ignore tho in-
ftidiouH purpose of tho man's visit
Evidently bo whs nn unscrupulous
scoundrel, who desired to turn the dis
covery he made to account. Alfred
l.nkihg looked at him with newly
awakened (iiriositv, and was by no
menus favorably Imprcs-od.by his tip
pcMiauci. Tho man had a forbidding
expro-sion, and it suddenly occurred to
Mr. Lnking Hint this was an impudent

teliHcH. "I don't bellovo a word of what you
Ray,", ho cried, suddenly rising from
his scat and confronting tho unwel
come visitor " Your.Htury Is a tissuo

"I was afraid you niie-lit think so,

" What! you have actually stolon UP"

. " Lot mo aeo it," said Alfred I.akiiiL',
in n lioarsi'. voice, sealing himself in his

Mr. ( rumbcr unColilod tho document
and glanced at it, apparently rellcctin
whether it would lie wise to part wit
it. Hut a'tnr a pause ho laid it on Iho

"Yes, yns," said Alfred
T ..!,!,.
BtrctcliiiiL' out his lunid iiniiaticnllv,
Some luomenls elapsed before tho
agitated gentleman could compose him-
self siilliciontlv to tnko in tho contents
of tho will. Ho lir-t turned to the limit
page, which bore tho aignnturo of tho
testator and the atlestinrr witnesses.
So farna ho could Judge the signature
were genuine, ami tlio document liad
ovidcntly been prepnrod several months
ago, tiiocit,"os of tlio jmper being dis
colored and tho ink faded. Jl wiu
dated a few weeks before Colonel I.ak
ing' s dealt), and was, therefore, in all
probability, tlio lust will ho had made.
When ho came to rend It carofully
Alfred I .liking's lingering hopo that tho
document might lie a forgory was quick
ly dispelled. From Internal ovidenco it
wag undoubtedly genuine, tlio ninnB of
various persons nnd places being men
tioned which no stranger could havo
fabricated. The Colonel appeared lo
havo left his property to Home distant
relatives, subject to a few charltnhlo
boiuost. His nephew's namo was not
mentioned and an old military friend
wits appointed executor.
Mr. Alfred Lnking rend tho will ovor
Iwo or threo times, kecnlnir his fneo
concealed from Mr. Crumber, who man
ifosted a good deal of Impatienco. At
length ho roused himself from his un
pleasant rellections, foldod un the fatal

replied Crumber. "If you ndvlBO moto

But Alfred Lnking did not hasten to
advise this atralghttorward oourao. Ho
kept silent for a long time, lidgoting
norvously wllh tho dooumont ho had
in his hand, and at length Crumbor

the money until he was safely on board
ship. Upon hi return to London, feel
ing, in apite of sundry misgivings, more
relieved and light-hearted than he had
done since his uncle's death, his exuber
ant spirits received a sudden check in
consequtneo of tho rocoipt of a letter
from Mr. Mayno, which ran thus:

This communication gave him a great
shock, for it naturally occurred to him
at onco that this mailer of Impor
tance" referred to his unclo'a will. If
the dot timcnt hnd already been missed,
immediato stepa would, of course, bo
taken to recover it, which might lend
to the arreat of CrumLcr, and even re
sult in bis own apprehension on a crimi
nal charge. Tho bare notion of such a
calamity brought beads of perspiration
to liia brow, and his first impulse was to
i!eo tho (onntry.
But upon second thoughts ho aban
doned tho idea. Even supposing
Crumber should bo suspected of having
destroyed the will there was no proof.
Tho man would deny tho charge for his
own Mike, besides wh'ch ho was out of
tho country. I'pon the whole, Alfred
Lak'nir thoueht tho wifest course would
bo lo laco tho matter ou:; and mii' li as
ho would havo preferred lo avoid nn in

to call upon him without nclav.
Accordingly ho presented himself at
Mr. Mayno s ollxo the mornina after re
ceiving tho letter, looking very pale and
nervous, though making every ouort io
appear at case.
"I wrote to you," Mr. I.aking, fnid
tho old lawyer, when they had ex
changed greetings, "becauco I havo
reason to believe mat you iinverecoiveu
a communication from a man named

His unswer appeared to eauso Mr.

taclea for a second or two, and then

unpleasantly siL'nilicant manner. "Tlio

Alfred Lnking, with a ataro of genuino

Large Crops of Corn.
The yield of corn per aore, according
to the roports of the National Departs
ment of Agrioulturo, is very small the
prosont year. Slrango as it may appear,
the largest yield is credited to Maine,
where the orop averagos 33.5 btishou
per aero. Kansas comes next with an
average yield of 82.5 bushels por aoro.
In Florida, the land of flowers and por
potual sunshino, the yield is vory small,
being only 10.3 bushels. Tho yield in
Michigan, Wisoonsin and Minnesota is
larger than in the throo States that Ho
south of them. In all the States where
cotton is tho loading crop, tho average
yield of corn is very small. The entire
South appears to bo very poorly adapt
ed to tho production of corn. '1 ho
seasons are long, tho sunshino bright,
the temperature all that can be desired,
and thoro is no loss on account of late
or early frosti. Stilly corn is not a
profitable crop. Much of the soil is
vory poor, and protracted droughts are
.ikoly to occur In placo' whore thoro
is a rich soil, vory largo crops of corn
stalks and loavo can bo raised. The
former havo no market value, however,
and tlio cost of gathoring the latter by
the usual mothod of plucking them from
thn stalks is vorv crcat. Whero corn
stalks shoot up to a very groat height,
as they uo lo sonio portions oi uiu
South, It I necessary io jocaio mo uiui
a long distance apart, and, as a conse
quence, there aro but fow of tliora on an
aero. Tito amount of grain on a stalk
of corn which is sixteen feet high is no
largor thnn on ono that is but eight,
and tho valuo of tho forBgo is less. Tlio
corn grown in thn South is more valua
ble for making uroau man matraiseu
in tho North, as it is softer and swootor.
This accounts in part for tho proforenco
of the Uouthorn people for bread inado
of oorn.
The avorago yield on corn In what
aro Known as "tho great corn-prod. .3-
Ing States" is small, owing to tho inree
amount nlantod on inverted sod. The
sod is turned with a view of preparing
the soil for some cultivated crop, and
corn is preferred to any other. As the
planting is done lato in tho season the
sod is not sulliciontly decomposed to
furnish much material for plant growth,
and its condition is such that cultivators
can not bo used botweon tho rows.
Still tho yiold of corn raised in this
mannor Is reckoned in with that pro
duced on well-prepared soil, which is
oflou manured and always cultivated.
A bad showing is accordingly mado of
tho productiveness of our finost Wostorn
lands, (in thn other hand, a remarka
bly good allowing is mado for tho natu
rally poor or worn out lands in somo of
tho Eastern States. Tho averago yield
is reported.probablytrnthfully, as largo,
or at least as larger tban that of tho
Wcstorn States. 'J'ho aggregate amount
produced, however, is vory small.
Possibly it is produced at a loss
if all tho expense of fertilizers and
labor wero estimated. Nearly every
farmer has a "mall portion of
land in corn, nnd on this ho puts
a very largo amount of manure nnd ex
pends a vast amount of labor. Tho land
appropriated to this crop is tho best on
the entire farm, (uito likoly it has been
'in training" for somo years before it
was planted for this crop. It has pro
duced a crop of clover which was turned
under. Perhaps coarso manure was
also plowod undor and lino manure
scattered broadcast before tho harrow
was used. Compost or aomo excellent
fertilizer was placed in tho hills in order
to give tho young plants a start. A top
dressing of ashes or plaster is applied
aftor tho plants havo appeared. Tho
ground is worked with a hand-hoo as
wull as with tho cultivator and plow. A
largo crop is tho result.
Farmers in the more fertile portions
of tho Wcstorn States can hardly bo ex
pected to tako so much pains with a
crop of corn, especially whero land is
cheiip and labor is comparatively high.
They find it more proiitablo to plant
more acres and to expend loss in labor
and fertilizers. Still it is likely that
Western furmors would ba tho galuors
by following tho example of Eastern
farmers more closely than they do. Not
