CHAPTER, VL.
"Oh, there you are, Derry—back
already—and what have you done
with Nancy, pray?"
There was a decided tench of
peevishness in Dorothy Leineeter's
pretty voice.
Darnley was silent for a moment ;
he had been etanding staring up
at the broad staircase in a fixed,
almost vexed way, when hie cou-
sin came out of the large drawing -
room and put the above query to
him.
Ile woke from his reverie with a
etart and looked down at Dorothy.
"Miss Hamilton is- in her own
room, I believe," he answered, in
a curiously short eianner,
"In her room; then I expect elle
is tired out, and no wonder, startiog
off to walk to the village in thia
heat. I mean to scold her well.
Are you going in to say 'How d'ye
do' to the great millionaire, Der-
ry 1 You know it is yolla duty to
pay -court to all his wealth."
Dorothy's fa.ee had lost its cloud,
and was as sunny and lovely as
usual; she had been a little vexed
that Derrick shottlal have left her
to go after Nancy; but now he was
back again, and that was all she
asked. Had she been a little less
occupied .with her own feelings on dainty, beautiful, refined, mtelleea
this subject, she must have noticed tual—in. every sense a thoreugh
that Mr. Darnley was in anything lady—what connection can she have
but a pleasant humor.
"Mr. Crawshaw quite prepar-
ed to receive 'any amount of hom-
age, so come along," she laughed,
slipping her dainty hand through
his arm, and trying to pull him to-
ward the drawing -room, whence
issued sounds of a strong, _loud
voice, holding forth with much
consequence and vigor.
Darnley's brows co'ntractecl in
—that in one moment she should
have scattered all prudence and
vorldly wisdom tpathe four winds,
without worrying Myself over every
little thing coacerning her, as 1 have
done, these last two days? Would

He piilleal'a low easy garden ehair
close to him•and flung, himself into
''I'llehave a smoke, it -will clear
brain.; I want to see into this
matter rightly ; won't coademn
her too quickly!"
So saying, he pulled out his sil-
ver ease—a gift from Dorothy—
and, having lit a cigar, he folded
his arms and began to think.
Soothed by the fumes of the fra-
grant weed, his mood softened, and
Nancy's face, with those 'wonderful
eyes and tremulous, sweet red lips,
returned to haaint, fascinate and
torment him.
"Jiang it all I" he mentally de-
clared, -with a sudden determination
born of a variety ef feelings, "I
am a brute to judge the child se
harshly; so much for my great
theory of never going on anything
like circumstantial evidence, when
at the merest, the vaguest eause,

I doubt her about that locket?
What earthly connection ean the
with such creatures as this man
whom she refused to let me follow
and thrash—to-day? And why
should she not treasure a little gold
locket if she likes?"
He took his hat off, flung -it away
and rumpled his .dark, curly locks,
his face growing shadowed and un-
easy again,
"I wish, though, she had net me
a get at that fellow. I would have
given him something -to rememimber

"You have 'only to utter the ma-
gical words, 'Craw -Shaw is here 1'.

for she is as sweet and rare as she
is beautiful i''
Arid here his rhapsodical musings
were broken by the arrival of Lord
Merefield in a very bad temper.
"`You are a nie�:; fellow, Derry'
he eomnaenced, flinging himself on
the grass, viciously, ``I think you
might have given ie a hands"
`"Fou have four such able ones
near in those possessed by Misses
Maude and Ella, that 1 don't think

.Darnley lit another cigarette, and
amiled while the young earl vented
feelings freely on 1iis friend.
""I believe they would have gone
on playing till doomsday if Eairffie;

about to depart, and the cubs, of
course, tied to greet him, I hope
to goodness ha will carry one of
them off—the two together are too

But Lord Merefield was. out o£
earshot, and Darnley laughed soft-
ly to laim;aelf. b,
"What a ease that is; poor boy,
certainly love is not altogether a
paradise to him,"
.And then, left alone in the cool,
soothed by the fragrant scent of
his tobacco,'he gave himself up to
his thoughts of Nazwy and her;fars-
einations; while she, up in'the° se -

standing gazing out of'the window,
wondering in. a. blank, vague sort of
way if her happiness and content-
ment had gone for ever, and what
lay for her in the future, nowv that

Nancy stopped. Warned or no, the
discomfort, the horror of meeting
this man would have been just the
same. She sighed a little, then sat
down and thought it all out in her
tool,' commonsense way. "After
all," she mused,' '`things are so
changed that it may not be so bad.

THE FEEDING LOT.
s good reason w

If a large lot of cattle is to be

WITH THE DAIRY HERD.
The fault of dairymen in gener-
al is not so much the lack of, know-
ledge as the proper application of
the knowledge. they possess.
One :thing that we ought to con-
sider when we start out to buy
breeding "cattle is the fact'that the
knowledge, skill and character. of
the man we buy them of is` about
as important'` as the animals that
we' are buying.
Can a man sow poor seed and'
hope to get a good crop? Will .Na-
ture make any exceptions in one
man's' favor? These are questions
which ought to interest the man
who keeps on year after year breed-
ing his cows to some scrub bull.
Too many farmers lack the push
and energy required to build up a
fine herd of dairy cattle. They are
poor business -men.
The low cannot .turn all of her
energy. into the production of milk
and still have'enough` to buildup
her offspring rightly: To raise
good,' vigorous caves, we must see
to it that the mother has sufficient
of the right kind of food and goes
dry long enough to do the' work
rightly.
