"But it's not of much consequence what .I think. If any one knows where she is, 'depend upon it that person is Guildford Berton." They were all very silent, thinking this over, but presently Jack broke in ;upon their reverie.. Any way, it's nd use making your- selves unhappy over the question to- night. I really think you deserve a little felicity, So, young people, let us have another small bottle of Pommery and— be merry." Cyril and Norah were only too ready to dismiss all unpleasant subjectsfrom their minds; they felt that they had been living under clouds so long that they were entitled, as Jack said, to a little sunshine. After dinnerthey went out for a walk, and, leaning. on her lover's. arm, Norah saw .for the first time something of the humors of that lively thoroughfare, the Strand. It was nearly midnight when the two young men escorted her to the hotel, and Jack considerately ,crossed the road ' and left them' to bid each other good- night unobserved. "I'm the happiest man .in this great city!" exclaimed Cyril, when he and Jack were alone in Jack's chambers. "The very, happiest! Jack, did you ever !mow anything so extraordinary as this meet- ing and—and-reconciliation? There is only one thing I want to complete my satisfaction, and that is to meet Mr.. Guildford Berton and give him a piece of my mind—" "Meanwhile," said Jack, • thoughtfully, !s Miss Norah to go on Iiving by herself 'n an hotel off the Strand, eh?" Cyril pondered this question. "No harm can come to her—" "No one will run away with her, icer- tainly," said Jack, "but it's scarcely within the strict Iines of propriety. She 'must have some friend upon whom she could rely—I mean some lady friend---" "Of course!" said Cyril, promptly. "Lady Ferndale!" "Exactly," said Jack, who had been thinking of her all the evening. "I will. tell you what will happen: Lady Fern- dale will be one of the first to hear of Miss Norah's flight, turd you may depend' upon it that the first thing she will do will be to come posthaste to London, thinking that Miss Norah may chance to go to the Ferndale's town house. -Now, 1ny lad, here is the plan of campaign. To -morrow we will go to the old law- yer's, Mr. Petherick's, and if he should have returned, you can tell him Miss Norah's story, and she can formally give up all claim to the old earl's money. That will leave her free, and absolutely her own mistress, to do as she likes, and if I were in your place, I should take care that she liked to marry me in -well, as soon as you can get the license. Of course, you'll have to take Lady Fern- dale into your confidence, and perhaps, the aid too; but I'd keep the lawyer in the •dark if I could. Hell be sure to put some .spoke in your wheel; Lawyers love delay as mice love cheese, and if ho learns that you are the Earl of Arrowdale, he'll stand out for all sorts of legal forms and ceremonies." The two men sat far into the morning talking and planning, and after break- fast,•yell, „was .:over . et;�the hotel con - !erring with :.Norah. She agreed, it once; to ;tlie whole plan of campaign as elabo- rated by Jack.; whom she regarded as a. perfect ,Solomon of wisdom, exeepting the •Item of the speedy marriage: Covered with`, bit:sites, she 'assured Cyril that .if was impossible. "Why, . dear," she murmured, hiding her face upon his broad chest, "no one would be,ano one ever has been, married so—so suddenly!" "Oh,.haven't they?" said Cyril..

I've always found myself in trouble when I've disregarded !t, and I've always come out all right When I've taken It. And, to tell you the truth, Jack is apt to cut up rough when ,you ask him for his advice and don't fake it---" • "It seems to me," said Norah, almost inaudibly, and smiling, "that Jack -1 mean Mr. Wesley—treats us like a couple sof children." "So ' you are," said that gentleman,. entering at that moment. "I've engaged a perambulator -1 mean, hansom—by the hour, and I think the sooner you see. Mr. Petheiok and Lady Ferndale, the : better. I'd offer to accompany, you," he added, with a faint smile, "but the cab only holds two, and it Is a case where de- cidedly two are company and throe none." It was the first time Norah had ridden In a hansom, and the journey to Mr. Petherick's office:': seenied • all too Short.

He was considerably startled at sight of Norah, and more than startled when he. heard till that she had to tell. "Bless my soul!" he exclaimed, staring from Norah to Cyril, in a kind of amaze- ment. "Catherine Hayes married, and you --•you her daughter! Let me see those papers! 1 don't believe a -word of ft! Strange! ;I've' alteriy5' had my doubts about Mr. Berton—always.

Cyril, who hastened to 'Corro- borate "We don't want a penny, (assure you, Lady Ferndale," he said. "The earl may keep it all for what we care; eh, Norah? All I want is Norah." Lady Ferndale smiled. "ile seems a very bold young matt, dear," she whispered tc Norah. "And we have come to ask you if you think we could be married in four days? Lady Ferndale clmost jumped. "it is impossible!" murmured Norah. "Tell him :so!" "Good gracious me, why do you want to get married so quickly?" exclaimed Lady Ferndale, "He will not give me the reason," said Norah,: blushing. "Because I can't," said, Cyril, almost bluntly.' "But ['11 tell you what I will do. 1 will tell Lady Ferndale, and if she agrees with me that the reason Is good by the loss of her wealth, and even Mr. .enough,, will you consent?" "As I'm sure she will not—yes," said Norah. "Very well, then," said Lady Fern- dale, very much amused and puzzled. "Now, you go upstairs—of course you'll remain with us. I'm going to send to that hotel for your luggage directly—and Mr. Burne shall persuade me, if he can, that there is any rhyme or reason in his absurd proposal." Norah left the room, and Cyril sprang the truth upon Lady Ferndale as 1f 't had been a bombshell. "You see; Lady Ferndale," lie said, with a half smile, "I'm Lord Arrowdale, and I naturallywant to marry Norah before she knows who I am.", Lady Ferndale did jump this time. Cyril Burne showed very few signs of grief and regret. [ suppose you have found the young earl, sir?" said Cyril, demurely, Mr. Petherick shook his:. head with a frown of annoyance. ".No, I have not. I thought I had got a clew to him, and followed it up as far as Paris, but it turned out to be another Mian altogether. I—I can't understand why he keeps in hiding unless he is dead." "Even his death would not restore this money to Miss Norah," said Cyril: "Oh, as to, restore," said the lawyer, pugnaciously, "she hasn't lost it yet. We shall make a fight of it, of course;. and we are just as likely to win as lose." "But—but I don't want to fight; said "you you are—" Then she burst Norah, In a low voice. "I wish to give out laughing. "Well, of all the stupid people, 1 have been the stupidest. I told. Norah the first time I saw you—you re- nieniber the day she and 1 were driving together?—I told her that I was certain I had seen your face before; and so,I had, or something very like it, in Lhe portrait gallery at. the . Court! And so you are thenew earl! And you have been hiding it from her, and from all of us, all this lime! And it's to you all this money of the poor girl's will gol" "Just for a day or two;" he said, with a smile.. "I am going to make it over as a deed of gift to her, of course." "Of course!" said Lady Ferndale.. "And what you are afraid of is—" "That Norah's pride, if she learns who and what I am, will be aroused, and she may put all sorts of obstacles in the way of our marriage: And I can't run even the slightest risk of that, Lady Fern- dale," he said, with a shake of the head. "So, if you'll please to regard me us Cyril Burne, the not altogether unsuc- cessful artist, and let her continue to so regard me, I think she will marry: me° out of hand." "Well, I ;think she will,"•admitted Lady Ferndale, with a naive smile. "But," she said, with sudden 'gravity, ': "have you thought of what the world will say when ithears that you and she have married so soon after the death o1 the late earl, your uncle, and her supposed lather ? Have you thought of that, Mr. Burne?" "No, I haven't," he said, quietly and coolly. "You see, since we met, yester- day, and—and were reconciled, 1 have not had time to think of anything or anybody, but herself; but if you'll stand by me and get her le consent, I don't care one brass farthing what the world says," and as he confronted Lady Fern- dale, his face lit up with a smile which won that lady's heart over to his side in a moment. "You shall have her, Mr. Burne—Lord Arrowdale—oh, dear!" "Mr. Burne, pieasel" ,a he said, laugh- ing warningly. So it happened that when Norah came in, and going up to Lady Ferndale, said, with downcast face: "Well, dear, . have you explained to him how impossible it is?" Lady Ferndale replied demurely: "Mr. Burne has convinced me that the marriage should take place within the week, dear, and I've promised him It shall!" and to Norah's little cry of dis- may she vouchsafed nothing but a laugh. It was useless for Norah to attempt •toargue or protest; : She was one=agairist three, for .Jack, • to whom -sheappealed to help her fight • against Lady Ferndale and Cyril,:basclydeserted her and went ovt r to, the •enemy, and at: last Nerah gave in, only stipulating•:that the.: wed up all claim to IL."

"That's all very well, my dear young lady," he said, severely, abut perhaps this gentleman," and he looked at Cyril, "niay have something to say to that;. and _ ahem t —you should study the N ashes of your—er—future husband; eh, Mr. Burne?" . ' • • "Her • wishes aro mine," said Cyril, quietly. "If Miss . Norah Is bent on re- signing all claim to this money, 'I am more than willing to let it go without a struggle." • The old lawyer stared at them gravely. • "Dear, dear!" he said. "Tut, tut! Doi you mean to say that you are going to resign half a million of money without a fight for It? You'll forgive me, sir; but I think if you were, say, twenty years older, you'd adopt a different course." • "No, I shouldn't," said Cyril, with some. difficulty suppressing a smile. "I am quite willing that the earl should have this money. We shall get on very well. I—I don't know whether you can tell ma how soon I ,can get a special. license." They talked for some little time long-.' er, and Mr. Petherick's -last words, as they rose to ' gomass Lady Ferndale's, were: "I think you are two very foolish—and happy-youngpersons, anti Inn going to do the best I can for you,'in spite of yourselves. The least the earl. can do,. If we relinquish all this money without a fight, is to hand back a portion of it; he can very well spare it, confound him! What do you think, Mr. Burne?" "I don't know, sir," said Cyril, shak- ing his head. gravely. "Front my short experience, I'm inclined to think that men are not so ready 'to: hand back any coin; but we'll hope for the best. You will -let us know, Mr. Petherick, directly the earl turns up?" "Yes, I will," said the old gentleman, with a kind of grunt; he was getting rather tired of the hunt for the young peer, and rather inclined to consider that a man who kept out of reach of an earldom did not deserve to be sought for. But all the same, he meant finding him, and one of the first pieces of busi- ness he transacted with the young earl,. he resolved, should be to gain the best terms he could for the beautiful girl who was no longer an earl's daughter and the mistress 'of half a million. • CHAPTER XXXVII. ,There ...was. another •delicious drive to Lady ,Ferndale house • during which the. two "foolish—but happy—young-per- Sons"- discussed the situation in alt its .bearings. • If anything.' could have increased Nor alt's love ,for Cyril,' his .indifference to ding:should be as'qulet as it could Iegally the -loss of her fortune, and his cheerful assent to the surrender el it without a struggle, would have done so. To her he seemed the very type of all that was noble in man, and Cyril felt extremely uncomfortable as she nestled against him and whispered her . praises in his ears. "What on earth will she say When she learns the truth?" he thought. They reached the Ferndale's house and were shown into the drawing -room, ara. in a minute or two Norah was in her friend's arms. "My. dear Norah! Why, what has brought you up to London so unexpec- tedly? And Mr. Berne, tool" - Then she smiled and held out her hand to Cyril. "I ' suppose I've got to congratulate you, Mr. Burne?" "Yes, . Lady Ferndale, Norah has con- sented to make me the happiest of men." "And you've nom to tell I}ty," she said. "Now, that is what I call really good and Bind, ‘Cprrle and sit down—what is the matter?" she broke off, for Norah clung to her and began to cry quietly. "You tell iter," she said to Cyril. • It was comparatively easy to tell Mr. Petherick, but Lady Ferndale was quite another person. "Or - rather there was," said Norah. "it has all gone nowt" Cyril unfolded the strange ,story, and Lady Ferndale listened with scarcely an interruption; then she. drew Norah's head down to her own bosom and stroked the soft, bronze hair. "If I. were to say that :1'tn not sur- prised, Mr. Burne, would you believe me?" she saki at last. "But it is true.

"And now, Mr. Burne, fes Norah and I will have to work really hardier the next few days, I shall be glad if: you will go down to your club, and -stay there as much as you can.

In the southern and central parts of the coun- try- more use is made of pasture and forage crops for fail and winter grazing than is possible in northern England, where feeding must be one under cov- er. Sheep, either as a specllty or as en important adjunct of the regular 'farm- ing ' operations, are raised In all parts o; Scotland. n the farming country where therent values are from five doti- lers-per acre sheep are considered in- dispensable, as theynot only generailY give hansom.' returns In mutton and wool for the feed consumed and the labor expended, but they also increase the • fer- tility of the soil. The Scotch farmer values sheep very highly as a soil: im- prover. Although use of commercial fertilizers is very general in all parts of the country, the farmer who -'takes possession of a wornout farm invariably resorts to sheep feeding as the surest and quickest method of enriching his land, On the hill and mountain land sheep are grown in -large numbers. With high and well drainedland the conditions in Scotland aro well suited to the production of sheep, as many parasitic troubles which so often cause Navy losses among the flocks of Eng- land are almost unknown in Scotland. The climatic conditions are favorable to this growing of roots, especially tur- nips which form the basis of practical... le al sheep feeding. The fall. and win. ter months are generally open and per - mil 'the grazing of the turnip crop, eli- minating a great deal of labor in har- vesting and saving the labor of hand- ling the manure. Sheepfolded on turnips are always fed from one-half to ane and a quarter pounds each day of grain and cake, this feeding being relied upon to enrich the manure. The influence of sheep hus- bandry on the fertility of the soil Is gen- erally recognized as of sufficient value to compensate for the labor expended and forone-third of the total. cost of the grain and calve fed. • In some sections o' the country the terms of the lease en- title a farmer who is giving up a farm to reimbursement for one-third of the total cost of all' cake fed on turnip groundduring the year. The influence of :sheep feeding on the soil is so great that many' farmers claim that they can- not afford tobe.without sheep, even if they were to lose -money on the mutton and wool prop -iced. Two or three old wethers are considered . the most valu- able and in lambs ewes the least valu- able to improved soil fertility. • The tendency now is to use younger sheep in feeding than in former years. The lambs grown on the arable farms are nearly all marketed under one year of age, while in former years they were fattened as yearlings and two year olds. The hill and• mountain sheep are also finding an easier market. The change in the age of feeding sheep was brought about by the demand of the retail deal- ers for smaller carcasses to supply smaller cuts. Furthermore, mutton from young sheep can be sold at once, ae it does not require 'several weeks to ripen, as in the case of that from two and three year old wethers. .

The prevailing custom is for each farmer to rear enough pigs to uti- lize the waste of the farm, but where dairy farming ie followed asthe chief ocupationpigs are reared and fed in considerable numbers as an auxiliary industry. The two industries go hand In hand, and to all apearatnces neither one: can be so successfully oonducted alone as the two conlbned, especially in those countries which rank high in the production of high class bacon. The real secret of success in European feed- ing for prime bacon is due to the large amount of skim milk' and buttermilk fed with grain and meal. JUDGING BEEF CATTLE. - Each of the seemingly useles points considered by an expert In judging cat-. tie, means something of importance to breeder, feeder or butcher. Here are sane of them: The eye proclaims the disposition— whether too nervous and restless to fat- ten well, or sluggish and e. poor feed- er, or dull from poor digestion or bad circulation; or kindly dispose end mor- ally alert, and still quiet. The nose tells much regarding the breathing machinery and the conse- quent vigor. The carriage of the head and ears also adds its story to the disposition, stam- ina_and health. The bone is judged largely by the bead, hoofs, horns, legs and tail;• and to animal's bone determines the quality of the meat it carries, ' as well as several other things. The chest is"very Important as show- ing how i n the lung It also!hes the spring of the shuldrs and fore ribs and' the space allotted to the vital organs.

Touch elastic and mellow; an 'Indica- tion of the quality of meat. Hair and skin tell much as to texture; also as to health of animal. Crest, breadth and oarriage of head ' are valuable indications of the mascu- line vigor of the bull. Full thighs, loins and crops are na- turally favored by the butcher as the points where high-priced meats lie_ Thede are a few of the points noted in the judging of beef cattle, and the reason for their being counted import- ant. Of course the dairy breeds have additional characteristics of their own. MAKING MONEY. Nearly, or quite nine -tenths of those who essay to rear thorough bred fowls, do so witha expectation of making it profitable. This is a natural desire, but it does not always result that way. Nearly all our prominent fanciers breed for pleasure, of course, they do, for they cannot but help feel a real pleasure as well as a gratification in having fine fowl about them, and in ministering ,o their wants, yet the idea of profit is not left entirely in the shade. Fowls are pets which are abundantly able to pay their own way, if properly treated and those owners of fowls who fail to . make them self-sustaining, ,who failed Fat is of great . aoc o int that is why a baby; babies:. are fat.

To be en- abled to do this, requires a close at- tention to details in the management of the birds, which -works a double ad- vantage as it ensures the best of care in every department. Wo take a sound, practical and common-sense view of the matter and wish to present it In the same way to beginners. Viewing it in the light of a speculation has caused great discouragement and loss to the begin- ners who annotated the golden gains they so signally failed to realize. CATCHING TURTLES. A curious mode of catching turtles is practised in the West Indies, It consists in attaching a rung and a line to the tali of a species of sucker�ftsh, which is then thrown overboard, and immediately makes for the first turtle he can Spy, to " which he attaches himself very firmly, by moans of a sucking apparatus arranged' on the top of his head.
