Se it was derided that Daisy should
remain and share the rooms with Mrs.
Jordan for a few days. Nothing could
have suited her better. Mrs. Jordan
hardly understood the intense interet
with which their Iodger listened to
ever." detail of her life. To Daise's dis-
eepaintment she knew nothing of Sir
Clinton Adair. The only thing that she
cnuad tell her was, he had a very large
and magnificent estate in the country;
it was called Eastwold, and was quite
a palace in its way.
"Then you are not going there?" said
Daisy.
"No." she replied, "I axil for the town
•ibruse: these grand people all have two
:or three houses, you know -one in Lon -
"don and others in the country."
"Have they?" asked Daisy. "Is he,
then -,this Sir Clinton Adair -one of the
grand people?"
Mrs. Jordan looked at her with some
tlitile coetempt.
"I should have thought," she said,
"that any one knew that; he is a bar-
,enet, and Is one of the richest sod
'noblest in England."
"Is be married?" asked Daisy.
"No; and I wonder at it. I caw hlin
lone at the Duke of Trevlyn's, and a
handsomer man, to my mind, never
:!was."
"Are you sure he Is not married?"
*eked Daisy.
Mrs. Jordan laughed.
"Yes," she rep1iied. "Mr. Cooper, the
'lawyer, who engaged me, told me there
was no Laxly Adak."
Daisy eat in silence for some msnvtes,
them she said:
"That seems a great pity. Wirth so
niuch, he should have a wife to share it.
Perhepe he will be married"
"I emmenot tell," she replied, captiously.
"Is there any rumor of the kind?"
"None that I have heard" she an
swered.
And the Daisy proceeded to put her
tharough a catechism of a housekeeper's
duties. Already a scheme was forming
Gln her busy brain.
She learned from Mrs. Jordan during
those two days the chief duties of a
housekeeper -what was expected framed
her, what to do, what to avoid.
"Do you see much of the gentlemen?"
she asked. ""Do you take your or•a rs
from thein when there are nO
tresses?"
replied Mrs. Jordan, Franitly,
"to tell you the boneat truth, I do not
think much of men myself; rich or poor,'
gentle or simple. they are Pretty ninth
alike. I lived two years with a husband
-well, I say no more. But, when, they
give an order, they never seemi to know
what to say. The way I manage them
is, I listen to every word, and then do

Daisy sutiied at the notion; she diel
not lose a minute. Airs. Jordan had

"Shall you see Sir Clinton Adair very

vet NEW HOUSEKEEPER.
Nothing emcee'eis like succese. There
had been a time when, strong as Daisy's
resolve was, ii,be had no idea how the
task before her was to be accomplished;
now it seemed as though her path was
made so straight she could not help trip-
ping over it. Airs. Jordan confided to
her that she was no great scholar, and
she therefore offered to assist with the
letter. It was written, sealed and ad-
dressed. Only foe a few minutes had
Daisy a hoirrible pain of suspense -it
was when Ms. Jordan, looking with
some complacency at the letter, said:
"Perhaps, after all, it would be better
to send it by the post."
She dare not show any anxiety, but
replied quite calry:
"Perhaps it would, I are going to the
post with some letters of my own; shell
I take it for you?"
Them, wiitlh she privilege that ought to
be reserved entirely for Iadies, Mrs.
Jordan changed her rabid.
"After all, it will be better for you
to take it," she said; It will save them
the trouble of writing to me, and you
oan tell me what they say."
Daisy started on her errand.
"There is only :me thing in the way,"
she thought; "Ishall have to evade the
truths. I will not tell a Ise, but I can-
not adhere to the strict truth -I mast
evade it. I will go to Thavies Inn and
wait about there until I see Mr. Cooper;
that will help me. If she leaves Eng-
land on Saturday .next, as she says, I
ami safe enough. She will not have
time to think about Sir Clinton.,"
She went to Mavis Inn, and wetted
there until Mr. Cooper came onvt of his
office, then she went back to Meadow
Lane.
"I have been a ling time away," she
sold, ''but I nave had seve,crsl little mat-

"Weil," said Mrs. Jordan, "was he
angry?"
"No, he did not seem to be. I think
they have some one else -•-sol a osie be
Lunars -to go la your place."
"That is all light, then," said lies,
3onian; "`I should have been sorry to in-
eoneventenee them; but if they have some
one else in my place, I shall not give the
matter another thought."
"Now," said Daisy to herself, "the
meet is clear for me."
She made all her arrangements; she
purchased a plain, black silk dress,
white lace taps such as she saw lire,
Jorian wore; she purchased a pair of
spectacles, and laughed at herself when
she was fully equipped.
"I shall be able to look. Sir Clinton
Adair in the face," she said, "and he
will not know me."
On the Thursday morning she affected
to receive a letter; she called her land-

"Anything I can do for you, K1r5, Jor-

that I was to wait upon you."
"That was very kind." said Daisy, un-

Then she became eloquent about her

would be for him if he would marry, he
seemed so sad, so lonely..
"Lonely!"' said Daisy -it was en her

said nothing.
Margerie milled again.
"We live in hopes," she said; "etemle

"How do yon know it?" asked Daisy.

Then. Daisy saw that if she were to
have a few minutes to herself she mast
send the good-natured girt away.
"I wish you wnuld make me a cup of
tea Aiargerie," she said; "I am tired."
Away went the housemaid, and the
young wife was left alone. She fasten-
ed the door, lest, returning suddenly,
Margerie should surprise her; then
Imeeling down, she buried her face in
her hands. She wanted to pray -to ask
Ideo.ven to help her to bless her enter-
prise -but she could not; her heart beet,
leer brain burned; she could not only
pray with parted lips that seemed to
ask for mercy in their faint whispers.
She was under the shelter of her hus-
bands roof at last -here in his house -
in the house where she ought to have
been so eagerly welcomed here indie-
guise-here where she should see him,
speak to him, and be would not know
her. It would be a terrible trial, but
she could beer that, and more, if she
could only find out 'his secret.
After a time site grew calmer. Tone
housemaid returned with the tea; she
drank it, and then was rather startled
at seeing Margezie's large brown eyes
fixed on her face. The girl looked at
her so intently that Daisy grew startled,
and said to her at last:
"What makes you look at me so?"
"I cannot tell," said Margerie. "You
look young, yet you look old; you have
a strange face Mrs. Jordan -they said
you were elderly."
"So I am," said Daisy, sthnrply.
"Your face looks so smooth. I thought
you would be a very different person."
And in some vague way after that Mar
gerrie was much less familiar with the
new house -keeper.
The housekeeper's room was on the
flask floor, and as Daisy went down she
heard the well-known, well -loved voice
of icer husband; he was speaking to one
of the servants, inquiring if she had
comae. 'For one minute Daisy stood quite
still, nand it seemed to her that she must
fail on her face and die -that she had
ne t:bee the strength nor the courage to
meet him. She stood still and silent as
a marble statute, then roused harset!:
she must either go on and meet him, ea
she must run right away. Again she
heard the well -loved voice:
"Yon can tell Mrs. Jordan that I win
see her at once; I am going out and
have not many minutes to spare. I.
shall be in the library,"
A reprieve. She drew a long, deep
breath; she was saved, at least for a
few minutes.
Then Adolphe, the vele, came to her.
He bowed, after use fashion of his los-
tion, polite to every one in woman's
garb.
"Sir Clinton wishes to see Mrs. Jor
dan; he is in the library."
"Which is the library door?" she ask-
ed.
He showed it to her, and, bringing
all herr coua'age to bear, elle: knocked
at at.
"Comae in," said her husband's voice,'
and' Daisy, with trembling hands, open-
ed the door and went in:
He was seated at a table, writing bus-

usIly, He laid down his pea when she
entered, and, turning round to his oliair,
looked at her.
"Good -day, Mrs. Jordan," he said, le a
cheerful voiee; "I am very glad to see
you."
She stood quite still, thanking Heaven
in her heart that she had put on blue
spectacles. still without the least move -
meth Size saw a puzzled expressitan
pass over his face, as though something
liolf bewildered hint, then it passed
away, and he was himself..
"I am afraid," he said, "that you will
find everything in great disorder; my
late housekeeper left me a very hurried
fashion; you must try to manage as
well as you cana ,"
Daisy made courtesy that at alny
other time would have made her state.
She did not answer, indeed she could
not have spoken, a word then to have
saved her life.
"7 am not very much at home, my
serf,e' he continued, ""so that double vigi..

Citizens of Memphis propose putting
up an office building modeled after the
celebrated pyramid. The present plan
is for a pyramid 150 feet high, 150 by
150 feet at the base and running to a
tip. A seating capacity of 15,000 is ex-
pected, and the coat is estimated at
$50,000, The swain floor will be devoted
to such uses as Madison Square Garden,
New York, is now put to, and the re-
maining six stories will be equipped
for offices. The pyramid will probably
be built at some point along the river
front, thus carrying out the Egyptian
idea of the Nile pyramids at Memphis.

CEMENT IN STABLES,
Floors and Cutters Suitable Psr the
Comfort of Cows.
There is no need of employing an es-
pert to put down cement floors or
straight walks, says Waldo F. Brown,
for if the directions here given are fol-
lowed the farmer can make as good a
floor as to pay a man g3 a day, whioh
is what is charged. I laid all of nay
floors and straight walks. but was
obliged to hire an expert to wake a cir-
cular walk and a porch floor, on which
we made a projection. There are a few
paints which must be observed to make
good work, and these are. first, to start
with a good foundation, and this means
that an excavation be made to hardpan
and filled with either small stoneor
gravel to where the concrete is to be
put on.
For outdoor work we usually dig
about a foot" but this depends on the
nature of the soil, as all that is neces-
sary is to dig to where it is solid. If
this ie filled with stone, it should be
pouneleri down so as to level and settle'?
it ;agel then covered with gravel. and a
level should be used and the grade es-
tal?liehed before the concrete is applied,

make it dripping wet. If finely crushed
stone can be had, yon may use six
barrels of it, two of coarse sand and
four of gravel to one of cantent.
"How deep should the concrete be
pat in?" That depends on what the
floor is to be used for. In the horse sta-
ble we put in five inches of it after it
is tamped solid, for outside walks four
inches, and for a hoghouse, poultry
house, cow stable or cellar three inches.
We pat this in about two inches at a
time and pound it down solid and then
put on the liquid stone. This is mixed
two parts of sharp, coarse sand to one
of cement and spread on the concrete.
We lay it in sections of three or four
feet wide, putting up a two inch joist
for the edge and staking it firmly in
place, and take up the stake carefully
and shove the edge piece to another sec-
tion as soon as one 'is finished. This
topping of the liquid stone is put on an
inch thick fur a horse stable and a half
inch for other floors.
Make all the floors level both ways
except the cow stable, which should
slope one inch to the five feet from the
manger to the manure ditch.
In the horse stable you should always
use enough bedding to take up all of
the liquid, but the cow stable should be
so arranged that the urine will fall in
the ditch, and if a cow should, as is
sometimes the case, urinate on the floor
we want enough elope to cause it to run
into the ditch.
After the floor is laid protect it from
dogs, chickens or any other animals till
it hardens, and if the weather is dry

What Is Cow Manure Worth?
If all the liquid and solid excrement
of cows is saved, it will make with
enough straw to absorb it about a two
horse load per month, such as farmers
usually draw from etables and barn-
yards to the fields. This manure is al-
ready on the farm, and it ought there-
fore to be worth more than in a city or
village stable, where it has to be drawn
several miles before it can be applied
to the land. On the other hand, the
farmer who draws manure from a city
fixes up a wagon box that will hold
fully twice as much as any load of
produce that he takes from the farm to
market. A dollar a load is the usual
price for these large loads when con-
tracted for by the year. In the sum-
mer, when manure piles in cities are a
nuisance, manure from cow stables
will be sold mach less than this. We
have known it offered at 50 cents a
load, and in extreme cases have seen it
given free of cost to whoever will take
it away. -Boston Cultivator.

WHAT IT COSTS.
Neither figures or word s
can form any adequate ex-
pression of what intemperance
costs its victims and those to
whom they are related To
it are sacrificed all earthly
joys and eternal hopes. For,
love of drink men will plun-
der and abuse and allow to
starve helpless and innocent
babes and loving and devoted
wives. They see and own,and
often realize keenly, the folly
and wickedness of their reck-
less brutality, but they are in
the grasp of a tyrant that they
feel helpless to resist. It is an
evil, of appalling magnitude.
There is no other agency
known to humanity which
works such destruction of
eharacter, manhood, self: re-
spect, virtue and all that is
commendable and good. Sol-
enie could undertake /IQ no.
bier work than that of re-
straining this terrible vice and.
furnishing some effective aid
to those who are struggling
against its influence and
paw er,
Samaria Prescription, which
has restored hundreds of con-
firmed. drunkards to rehabili-
tated character, health .and
strength, is a scientific pre-
paration of well -tested and
well -endorsed merit, and of a
p3wer so potent that its anti --
d ata! effects on alcoholism,and
its recuperative effects on the
mental and physical health, of
those who use it, are noticed
after the first few doses,
It is almost free from every
trace of taste or odor, and can
be takers or given in water, tea,
coffee, or any other beverage,
and in any kind of food, with-
out any trace of anything to
suggest its presence. The least
bit of moisture dissolves it
at once. Its chief and pri-
mary action is the expulsion of
every trace of liquor from the
system, and it accomplishes
this by its wholesome and im-
mediate action on the stomach,
heart, liver and kidneys. It
impregnates the blood, and the
antidote thus passes through
the entire system.
The first dose of Samaria.
Prescription begins the cleans-
ing process for the cure and
guards against all further ab-
sorption of alcoholics. After
the second dose the desire for
liquor is gone and the smell of
liquor then becomes as offen-
sive to the toper as it is to those
who hate it. ' Bar -rooms to
him seem permeated with the
odors of the morgue, and he
shuns them. Then the healthy
symptoms of the change begin
to manifest themselves. A
healthy appetite for food takes
the place of the former craving
for a drink. His nerves are
steadier, his eyes are brighter,
his head is clearer, and his
whole being grows responsive
to his better self.
Samaria Prescription accom.
plishes this transformation in
every case where it is faithfully
used until the cure is complete,
and relapses to former habits
are impossible after that. Let..
ters testifying to the wondrous
efficacy of this remedy come
to hand from grateful men and
women everywhere.
