As I came near• or to him X could see that he was a tranger, and from his dusty clothes and dilapidated appearauoe he ;seemed to have come from a distance, He had a great Unlash of bread on his knee and a ()leap knife in hie hand, but he lead apparently. just finished his breakfast, for he brushed the crumbs off his lull and ruse to his. feet when he perceived me. Noticing the great height of the fellow, and that lie still held his weapon, I kept well to the other side of the road, fol I knew that destitution makes leen desperate aitd that the ohaiu thatglittered on my waistcoat might be too great a temptation to hiul upon true lonely highway. I was con firmed in my feaie when I saw him step out Auto the center of the IOLId and bar my progress. "Well, my Ind," I said, affecting an ease which I by no means felt, "what can I do for you this morniug?" 'Ili fellow's face .was the color of mahogany with ex- posure to the weather; and he hada deep scar from the corner of Itis mouth to bio ear, which by no means improved his appearance, His hair wast grizzled, but his figure was stalwart, and his fur cap was cocked on one side se as to give him a rakish, semi -military appearauoe. Al- together. lie gave ale the impression of being one bfthe most daugerous types of tramp that I had over fallen in with. Instead of replying to my question he eyed me for • sonic time in silence with sullen, yellow-shot•eyes, and then closed' his knife with a loud c nick. `You're not a beak," he said: "too young for that, I guess, They had me in chokey at Pais- ley and they had. me iu eholcey at Wig- town, but by the living thunder if ,all - other ofthem lays a hand an me I'll make him remember Corporal Rufus Smith! It's a darned fine country this, where they won't give a man work, and then lay }aim by the heels ter having no visible means of subsistence." ^'I and sorry to see an old soldier so re- duced," said I. "What corps did you serve in?" "II Battery, Royal Howe .Artillery. Bad. cess to the service and every one in it! Here I am nigh sixty years of age, with a beggarly pension of thirty-eight pound teu-not enough to keep me in beer and bas y." "I should have thought thirty-eight pound ten a year would leave been a nine help to you in your old age," I remarked. "Would you, though?" he answered with a sueer, pushing his weather-beaten faee forward until, it was within a foot of my own. "How much d'ye think that slash with a tuevai is worth? .And my foot with all the bones rattling about like a bagful of dice? What's that worth, eh? And a liver like a sponge, and ague when- ever the wind cofhes round to the east- wbat's the market value of that? Would yon take the lot for a dirty forty pound a yen -would you now?" "We are poor folk in this part of the country," I auswered. "You would pass for a rich man down here." "They are simple fulls and they have simple tastee," said he, drawing a black Pipe from his pocket and stuffing it with tobacco. "I know what good living is, and while I have a shilling in my pocket I like to spend it as a shilling should he spent, I've fought for my country and my country has done darned little for lee. 1'11 go to the Rooehiars, so help me!

Thus ended this extraordinary inter- view, in which this strange man had bes gun by pointing a loaded pistol at my breast and had ended by partially ac- knowledging the posaibility of my becom- ing his future son•in-law. I hardly knew whether to be cast down or elated over it. On the one hand' he was likely, by keeping a closer watch over his daugh- ter,, to prevent usfrom communicating, as freely as we had, done hitherto. Against. this there was the advantage of having obtained an implied consent to the re- newal of any suit at some future date. On the whole, I carne to the conelusion as I walked throughteully home that I had improved my position by the incident. But this danger -this shadowy, unspeak- able danger-whieb appeered to rise up at every turn, and to bang day and night over the towers of Claomber!

How- strange and bizarre must the fear be which can scarce be expressed in intelligible language. I held up my band in the darkness before X turned to sleep that night, and I swore that no power of man or devil should ever weaken my love for the woman whore pure heart I had had the good fortune to win.

My geed father had received a letter from the laird, dated from Naples, which told us that he bad derived much beneSt from the change, and that he had no in- tention of returning to Scotland for some time. This was satisfactory to all of us, for my father had found Branksome such an excellent place for study that it would have been a sore trial to him to return to the noise and tumult of a city.

The calf may be left with the cow for three or four days or until the milk is fit for use. The calf should then be taken away and placed in a separate : stable, if it is possible, as the cow will give less trouble if she cannot see her calf, writer Mr, S. O. McNutt. By missing one feed, the calf -will usually be hungry enough to -start to drink readily and will usually give little trouble when it finds the bucket contains milk. Four pounds of milk per feed three times a day for the first ten days will give the calf a good -start when a small amount of skim milk may be substi- tuted for a part' of the whole milk, the amount of the skim milk being increased, so that when the calf is a month old it is getting skim entirely. When the calf is two weeks old the feeds may be changed to two per day with the amount of milk increased, as the calf shows ability to handle it, ' After three weeks the calf will begin to -eat a little grain. An excellent grain mixture for calves is made of corn- meal, oats and wheat bran in equal parts, with a little -linseed meal .ad- ded. To grow calves . well they should have just what they will clean , up readily at each •feed. Plenty of green grass is good for them, but in very hot or very cold weather a fine en ality of clover hay will pro- duce excellent results. Calves should have milk until they are five or six months old, for best results. If they are, forced to subsist on coarse feeds and grain too young they will be stunted,. ,as their . digestive system is not de- veloped enough -to, handle such food exclusively at an early, age. Cotton seed meal should never be fed to calves under twelve months of age. It always proves detrimen- tal to development of the :young' calf. This being true, it is better to feed such feeds as oats, bran and corn, which are known to be satis factory. To secure good size the animal. should continue to gro.wt. steadily until mature. What to Peed the Poultry. The following is an excellent ra; tion ..for fattening poultry One part cornmeal, one part oat,, flour, one part barley meal, one. part beef scrap, eight parts butter - milk or skim milk. 1 This makes what is called slop feed, as it is thin enough to pour. The best feeding results are had with crate feeding, The birds, five` • r six in number, are placed in a', shut coop. The bottom is of lattice' work, and that makes it self -clean -i ing. There is plenty of room in the' coop, but the idea is to prevent exercise. ' . The crate should be. put in a pro- tected place, but not in a house, Under a tree or at the side of .a building is a good place, if it is! where other fowls cannot molest# them. They are given no food for; 24 hours previous to the feeding' period, which should last from two, to three weeks. The milk will be, sufficient to allay their thirst. Feed-' ing in this way has brought gains, of from 25 to 85 per cent. It costsi from five to seven cents' worth of grain to put on a pound of gain,. But if it did not pay from a feeding viewpoint it would in other ways, ' . for the flesh of a, bird fattened in this way is far better, being much,, whiter in appearance and more juicy and much more palatable.
