He sat quietly gazing out of the window across the The smile was still on my face as 1 suggested: "This 'peculiar case' certainly has its heroine." "It has a heroine, yes."

It eeeded but one glance at the painted oval to make me exclaim impetuously: "You love her. No one could doubt that an instant." ' Such a picture! A dainty little head covered with short, curling hair: a deli- cate, loving, teasing face; dark, full, bewitching eyes. The tliroat was bare, and an indistinct mass of white gauze ended the portrait. "You must love her." I spoke with conviction. "I do," returned Alyn—"most sincere - Still his expression puzzled rne. inscrutable snfflo played over his face, but he delayed beginning the story he baci volunteered to tell. "And she?"

I stretched out nay hand and Alyn grasped it warmly. "1 do believe," he said earnestly, "that if ever a man was fortunate that man is I. Will you care to listen? I used to tell you things when 1 was a boy," he added apologetically. I picked up my sewing,. always lying ready against such tinies as this, and* leaned back in my rocker. Alyn reached for the picture. He /caned his bead on one band and hie elbow on, the table. In the other baud Pc held the case where his eyes could rest on the face. His own face be- came grave.

So says The Sheep Ilreedeio When on a large pasture, a flock will wander ab1 over it, eating' here aud there and soil- ing the uneaten parts, and then refuse to feed longer, but spend their time in seeking some way of escape from it and generally finding one before long. Then the usefulnesa of the floet is - gone, for once restless, sheep are al- ways so, and a, t•estless, sheep is a bad sheep. For a 20 acre field and 100 Sheep We would divide, the field into five parts and keep the flock on each part until it is eaten pretty clase, then tvoulcl feed $01110 grain feed for a few days, after which the flock should be turned on to the new ground.

They are equal- lyeworks of art, and what they are oth- ers may be under the same conditions. • Live Stock Statistics. Some instructive statistics as to the numbers of cattle and eheep in the United Kingdom and in other countries have been collected by Major Craigie and are commented upon by him in his _introduction to the agricultural re- turns. sags the London Live Stock Journal. They are of a nature thalais calculated to encourage aud strengthen the inclusti•y. While a certain increase has been recently occurring in the cat- tle of the United Kingdom, this has been accompanied by a fuetlaer de-. crease 111 the United States, bringing their total herds 9,000.000 under the to-, tat of 1893.
