"Ko hope at all?" {'Remember how much aie is spared,,, said the doctor, gently. "He will not suffer, He will .pot Suter at all any more."

The beers Iaass_ed on. At lens little Swanhild, who bad sited drawn on the floor with her head Sigrid's lap, became consciou,e of a sort of stir in the room, ,She looked up and saw that the doctor war, bending over her father. "It is over," he said, in a hushed swim as he stood up and glanced toward the two giris, And cuwazahild, wlso aaeeu Erni" 0110 die,:lautk books of death struggle agonies, was filled wi wonder. "It was so quiet,*, i;.lae said nl terwaard tea her sister. NGI never knew people died like ala«it ; I don't think i shall ever feel afraid about dying again, "Bus ole, Sigrid'!„ and the child broke into a passion of tears, "we have got, to go onliv- ing all dope --all alone:" Sigrid's breast heaved. "1 three must love each dther v much, darling}" she said, folding her arms .about Swanhild. "We musttry and be everything to each other." The words made her think of Fri- thiof, and with as sick longing for his presence she went down -stairs again to speak to her nncle, and to arrange as to bow the news should be sent to England. Herr Gran - veld had never quite appreciated hia brother-in-law, and this had al- ways made a barrier between him and his nephew and nieces. She found him in the sitting -room. He was still pale and agitated. "What must we do about telling Frithiof, uncle 1" she said. "I have thought of that," said Herr Gronvold. "It is impossible that he could be back in time for the funeral. This is Tuesday after- noon, and he could net catch this week's steamer, which leaves Hull at nine o'clock to -night. The only thing is to telegraph the news to him, :peer boy. His best chance now is to stay in England and try to ;find some" opening there, for he has no chance Isere at all." Sigrid caught her breath. "Yoie ,mean that he had better not even come back t" "Indeed, I think England is the only hope for him," said Herr Gran - void. "He is absolutely penniless, and over here feeling will be so strong against the very name of Falck that he would never work his way up. I will gladly provide for you and Swanhild until he is able to make a home for you; but he must stay in England, there is no help for that." She could not dispute the point any further; her uncle's words had shown her only too plainly the true aneaning of the word "bankrupt." Why, the very chair she was sitting on was no longer her own ? A chill passed over her as she glanced round the familiar room. In a sort of dreadful dream she sat watching her uncle as he wrote the message to Frithiof, hesitating long over the wording of the sad tidings, and ever and anon counting the words care- fully with his pen. It would cast a good deal, that telegram to Eng- land. Sigrid knew that her uncle would pay for it, and the knowledge kept her lips sealed. "There, poor fellow," said Herr Gronvold, "that will give him just the facts of the case ; and you must write to him, Sigrid, and I, to, write by the next mail.' "I am afraid he can not get a letter till Monday," said Sigrid. "No, there is no kelp for that," said Herr Gron'vold, "-1 ahall do all that can be done with regard Iss fiap h„s,^, that he will know quite well ince hisA return, hater on would be a mere waste of time and money. He must seek work in Lon- don yvithout' delay, and I have told him so. Do you 'think thea is t cla;, r 9.” ti r a led her the message he she read it had never ad read in tied death through, thongh each word was like a stab, "quite clear," she said, return- ing it to hien., "My dear'," he said, kindly, "it has been a terrible day for you ; you had better go to bed and rest. Leave everything to ane. I promise you aa11 shall be attended to." "You are very kind," she said, yet with all the time a terrible erays ing for something more than this sort e kindness, for something which WAS perhaps beyond Herr Gronvold's power of give. "Would ;Fou like your aunt or one of your cousins, to spend the nighthere'?" he asked "No," she said; "I are better alone. They will coin toraorrow, I --I will rest noise." "Very wen.

And then Herr Askevold knelt by the bedside and prayed.' She could ":never quite remember in af- ter after days what it was that he said, perhaps she never very clearly took in the actual words; but something, either in his tone or manner, brought to her the sense of a pres- ence altogether above all the chang- es that had been or ever could be. As they rose from their knees and the old pastor took her hand in his to wish her good-bye, he glanced a little anxiously into her eyes. But something he saw there comforted him. "G•od bless you, my child," he said. And again as they opened the front door to him and he stepped out into the dark wintery night, he looked back, and said : "God comfort you:" Sigrid stood on the threshold, behind her the lighted Hale, before her the starless gloom of her outer world, her arm was round little Swanhild, and as she bade hien good -night, she smiled, one of those brave, patient smiles that are sad- der than tears. "The light behind her, and the dark before," said the old pastor to himself, as he walked home wear- ily ,enough, "It is like her life, poor child. And yet I am some- how not much afraid for her.

They were walking along Picadil- ly, each of them turning over in his mind how he could best get away from the other, yet with an uneasy feeling that they were in some way linked together by that summer ho- liday, and that if they parted now they would speedily regret it. Roy, with the increasing consciousness of his companion's trouble, only grew more perplexed and ill at ease. "Do you know many people in London 1" he asked, willing to shift his responsibility if possible. "No," said Frithiof, "I do not know a soul." "Then you will of course dine with me," he said, "since you have no other engagement." And Frithiof thanked hien and ac- cepted the invitation. The ice once broken, they got on rather better. "What next," he said, as they found themselves once more inthe street. `Since you go back soon we ought to make the most of the time. Shall we come to the Savoy 1 You must hear a Gilbert` and Sulli- van opera before you leave." "I am not in the mood for it to- night," said Frithiof. "And it has just struck pie that possibly nay fa- ther may telegraph instructions to me—he: would have got Morgan's telegram this .:morning. I will go bank to the Arundel and sec." (To be continued.)

STRABTLINQ CONTRAST with their brown skin. Most of them are in a recumbent position, some even lying face downwards, which does not seem to worry them at all; the more fortunate ones are able to sit up, roll about in bed, and have a good time while all are revelling in their warm sunbath. ..A few are not yet fully exposed, it is true, for they are newcomers and have not completed the necessary training which endows them with this extraordinary power of endur- ance. Tho latter bave still the pale, weary faces which sickness gives, and it is easy to see that their so- journ at, Leysin has been but a short one. The children—those who are well enough—have morning lessons, as the doctor believes mental occupa-1 tion absolutely necessary.

A rural postmaster tells this story of one of the patrons of his office, a boy of thrifty, not to say penurious, stock. When the lad comes into the post -office, he will thrust his wizened face up close to the win- dow and, in his slow, drawl, inquire most earnestly : "Hev ye got any postal cards 2". "Yes," the postmaster replies. "Haow much be they t'day i". "A cent a eieee. Then the boy, screwing up his eyes', in the intensity cf his thought over the question he has to deside, always stops for a. while to weigh the consequences. Finally, he will reply.: solemnly "Wal, I'll take one." ilk cl ined heat 33. asted every ye this were made mitt butternnilk cheese, it would fur, nsiah a barge supply cif palatable food, equal hi food valine, pound for pound, to lean beefsteak. It can ho sold profitably at half the price meat is. To make buttermilk cheese : the buttermilk is curdled by heating to 80 degrees, and lett undisturbed for an hour. It is then heated to 130 degrees and after standing quiet for about an hour, the clear whey is drawn, off the curd, and the latter is placed an a draining rack, which is covered with eheeseeloth.Hese it remains half a day or over night, until as dry as desired, when it is salted with 13 pounds of salt per 100 pounds of curd, and is ready for use. Buttermilk cheeses can be made from buttermilk, from creaaus which was pasteurized before ripen- enieg, or the buttermilk may bo pasteurized during the process of claeeaemak'ug, in either case insur ing the absence of disease germs. Packing and selling the cheese requires special attention since the public is not familiar with the pro- duct, and it roust be thoroughly a d- vertised to secure a market. It may be shipped in butter tubs and re- tail i re- tailed na rpails or eters P Pe r small' packages. It -will keep for a week or ten days at 50 to 60 degrees, but can be kept longer if stored at. 32 degrees er lower. It may be sold for three to five cents a pound at the factory and retailed at seven to 12X eents per pound, and prove a profitable product for both the creamery and the retailer. If high color is desired, it may be secured by adding cheese color, the same as used by Cheddar, cheesemakers. Where only a few pounds of but- termilk cheese are made at a time, as on a farm or for home use, the buttermilk can be heated in a pail or in a clean new wash boiler on the stove. After the second heat- ing,"i.e., to 130 degrees, if the curd has settled, the whey can be mostly poured off by tipping the pail, and the curd poured into a small cheese- cloth bag to drain.

There are many brick and stone walls, as well as wooden outbuild- ings, fonees and the like, about a. suburban place which, lacking paint, detract much from the gen- eral appearance of the home. But paint is somewhat a •pousive and cannot be applied with too lavish a hand by the average citizen. There is, however, whitewash, which, is easily made and applied, is inex- pensive and which for most outdoor work will answer quite as well as oil paint. For chicken -houses, brick walls and the like it is excellent.' To make the whitewash, slake half a bushel of fresh lime with boiling water, keeping ib covered during n g the process. The lime should not, of course, be confined, but merely,µ covered, as confined it possesses considerable explosive force. Strain it and add a peck of salt dissolved in warm 'water, three pounds of ground' rice put in boiling water and boiled to a thin paste, half a pound of powdered Spanish "whit- ing. and a pound of clear glue dis- solved in warm water. Mix these well together and let the mixture. stand for seven days in a reasonably cool and shaded place, Keep the wash thus prepared in a kettle, and when it is being used put it on as hot as possible, using a painter's or an ordinary whitewash brush. Always use magnesian lime for whitewash.
