Her ebild was linable and lovely; her husband was all kindness alai at- tention; she was Lady Adair of East- 'wold; she had all tear wornan`s hear': trouId wish or desire—was she happy? Perhaps this was the answer, that one day when she stood watching the sea set, the whole raw of the bright bee veus covered with erimara and gold, see elesped her hands, raising them after the manner of one who prays— "I would rather, far rather, he there than here," said Lady Adair. Iler husband never mentioned Lady alny'S name; he was kiadnees itself to her; but often in the early =ruble dawn, when she heard him murmur in Ids sleep, the name upon Itis Lips was May. "He will always love her," thoUght Daisy; "he cannot help it—it was his fate.

She talked, laugh- ed—she was always bright and theerfel; people spoke of her as one of the most pirprant characters they ever met. She was wonderfully lamest and straight- forward; she was quick at repartee; every day her husband saw in her some- thing more worthy of admiration. Bo had perhaps known no greater surpriert than when this simple Daisy of his turn eel out to be what ske really wa.s--a height, clever woman, "I shall not leave Daly until 1 have oeen Rome, Caro," said Daisy. "When we do get to England, we shell not be in a hurry to leave it again. Perhaps we may not travel again. Let us see Rome, Caro, while we are here," One or two English friends to whom they eoafided their intentionof going en to Rome warned them. It was not a gond time for visiting the Imperial City. Strangers going just at that time were liable to take the fever—better seit; but Daisy only laughed. "1 Oath not take the malady, Care,' she said; "let us go—we want to go to England in the spring." They went and Lady Adair enjoyed the visit very nowle She seemed to grow better end stronger; perhaps the net that she was hotter made her im- prudent. 'While lingering on the Cam- pagna, she caught some breath of fatal air, and how it was no one quite knew, alit she (-aught the fever aboat whieh she had been se often warned. At first the attar Is was slights and no ne felt either anxiety or fear.

"le a. few deys. and then they would begin to think about returning home." But the days grew longer and she grew worse. It was the serlden rota& of delirium that first frightened Sir Clinton. Once, when he went into her room, she fancied herself beck at Seville, and was crying loudly to Bedina that the house eras burning. He calmed her, and was shocked to see how much woree she was. "I have been dreaming." she said, to him. was a faint smile. "I thought Bedina was here." He talked to her for a few minutes, then was startled again at finding that she had wandered into the shadowland of delirium. From that time she grew steadily orse—it became certain that she would not reamer. Sir Clinton was like one aistracted; he went about in search of the most clever physicians—he would leve moved heaven and earth to save her, but she was not to be saved. The Oat had gone forth—Daisy was to die. Sir Clinton would not believe it at first He said the doctors must be mistaken, their verdicts were all nonsense; she must recover. No one, could call him cold mid careless now; his indifferenee had all vanished; his .wife was in danger; for the time being he forgot that there was any other woman in the world. The day came when Daisy, faint and feeble, whispered to him - "Caro, I am going to die. I thought I should; it was the only way for the story to end." "Poe Heaven's sake, Daisy, do not say such terrible words," he replied. But she, bending over lam, said: "Caro, will you send for Lady May, want to see her before I die?" ettetee, CHAPTER INIT..

She entered a beautiful room, with a large window boking to the west; the sun was setting, and its last isaniis lingered on the wine -wreathed window. There were giutures aul statues, hooks and flowers, grand old furniture, a maesive bed with carved posts and velvet hangings. On the white pillow she saw the white face of Daisy Adair. Dying! AI, would to Heaven it had berm otherwise: The shadow, but not the horror, of death cvas there. The bine eyes, so largo and bright, were looking eagerly for bar; the sweet lips, still erimson as coral, were slightly parted; the fair hair hung over her neck and shoulders—sweet, simple Datey, with her woman's soul looking out ot her eyes. She held out both her thin, white bands in silent greeting to Lady Dealt. There was a mutate of silence, that seemed like a great heart-beat; then Lady May knelt down by Daisy's side, and hiding her face in the white hands, wept passionate tears. "Are you weeping for me?" asked Daisy, faintly. 'Po not; believe me; I am happy; I would rather die than live. Caro, come here." IXe kuelt down by Lady May's side, aid, taking a hand of each in her faint; feeble grasp, Daisy kissed them. "I know you both love me now." "That WA do," said Lady May, sob- bing as though her heart would break. "Do not think I am sorry to die," she said, in her faint low voice. "I have Dever talked mueh about religion; it was too deep down in my heart for me to talk of; but I hare loved God," she said, with her old child -like simplicity.

"Caro," she had whispered, an hoar before she duel, "will you bury me in that pretty cemetery at Seville, near the grave of that man who died of love —you remember?" "I remember," said Sir Clinton. And, true to his promise, he buried Daisy there. CHAPTER LVIIL • AFTER FIVE 'remise Five years have passed sineDaisy was buried and one line evening in Silly there was a very pretty picture to be seen on the lawn at Eastwold. Sir Clinton Adair was giving his little deughter her first lesson fro walking.

Down went baby On the soft, green grass. Lady May laughed; Miss Lack - wood cried out; Sir Clinton hastened to raise her. "No one can learn to walk straight," said Lady May, "without many falls." ' The words seemed to impress Sir Cline tone He gave the laughing, rosy baby to Mise Lockwood, and sat down by his wife's side. "Where is Clifton?!' he asked "I caa hear him," sthe replied. "He ire practicing with the bow and arrow that I bought him, and he has a grand idea of shooting. Here he is." A beautiful by came running toe-eard her. "My darting, mamma," he cried, "see how well I can elm." Lady May laiti down her book and took the liveliest interest in his ettempts at archery. She was so kind, so gentle, so patient, that after a time' he flung his arms round her neck and kissed her with a kind of rapture. "You are so good to nee," he said. And she, looking up at the sweet summer sky, murmurs: "I hope Daisy knows how dearly I lore her boy." The boy himself has not forgotten his mother; he -bas some memory of a pure, sweet face, and dying arms that clasp- ed him—of a passionate ery that was followed by terrible silence; he has a vague memory of love that WM, deeper and sweeter that any he has known since. He dimly remembees hew some one used to kiss him and weep pas- sionate tears over him. He has been to the cemetery et Seville, and they told him that hes mother lay there. He glanced, with puzzled eyes, at the beau- tiful( fate of Lady May. "You are my mamma now," he said; and she replied that, Heaven blessing ber, she would be a good mother to him, Three yens elapsed between Daisy's dearth and Sir Clinton's second mar- riege. The ceremony hed been a very quiet one, and they had gone straight home to Eastwold. Then they Ied a tnoet useful, happy life. Sir Clinton be- came a man off notut and fame. They had but one little daughter. As Daisy had said, there was some jusbice in it— Lady May bad Sk. Mato; but her sou was heir. • They talk ot her in iow. tones, and dwell lovingly pit her aleatory. Onee the boy go:meted a simple white 'field -daisy, end lareuglit it to his ,father. He won - dived much why Sir .Clinton kissed it with tears he his eyes, telliag hint that he must never again gather a daisy, for, when they were gathered, they faded and ;tied.

Poultry Pointe For Farmers. For a general purpose fowl we be- lieve the Plymouth Rock is unsur- passed. An intelligent study of the poultry business, details in regard to buildings, care, feed, diseases, preparing for mar- ket and kindred subjects, such as may be found in a progressive poultry jour- nal, is requisite to success. It Is most profitable to sell to regu- lar customers, gaining and holding their confidence by quality and fresh- ness of poultry products and attract- iveness of packages delivered. The best time to sell is in June or July. Plymouth Rocks at 2 years of age, a good selling age, will often weigh six, eight and even ten pounds, 8,nd from select customers will bring 10 to 14 cents per pound. Early chick- ens are harder to raise than late ones; they are also more profitable. We have realized greater profits from the. sale of eggs than from that of chickens, but believe a combination of the two is desirable. - The exercise of intelligence, indus- try, common sense, patience, perse- verance and eternal vigilance will in- sure successful poultry raising on the earne—Farm, Field and Fireside.
