CHAPTER YIII,--(Coet'd)
"You had better send for your
brother at once," he said, "I sup-
pose he will be at the officer
"Qh, eel!" she said, trembling,
"Frithiof is ii England, But we
will telegraph to him to sone
home."
"My poor child," said the el<,1
doctor, kindly, "if he is in England
it would be of no possible use;; be
could not be in time."
"Oh: is there no hope " she, sola-
lxd. "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."
Aird e zt proved ; for while many
went: and carie, and while the bad
news of the benkruptcy; e aused Herr
taronvold to pace the Teems like one

Herr Fateh: lay ie painless quiet,
his face so cilias that, had it not
been for an occasional tremor pass -
bag through the paralyzed limbs,
they would; almost have thought he
waas already dead.
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,

"It was so quiet,*, i;.lae said nl

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

"You are very kind," she said,
yet with all the time a terrible erays

sort e kindness, for something

down quietly as she looked 'once
more on the 'calm, peaceful face,

of late grown so familiar to her.
And then Herr Askevold knelt

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. It is
for Frithiof I am afraid."

if it had not been spoken by any
one else, but from the lips of such
a fellow as Frithiof Feick, it start-
led hini.
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."

"I think I 'can safely say," the,
writer says, "that few people have 1,
seen classes of sick children? doing
their lessons perfectly naked in mid-
winter out' of doors, all gay and

healthier than many children who
have no ailments whatever." The!,

AN IMPORTANT ORDER.
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."

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

tailed na rpails or eters

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. If the curd is

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.
