• • CHAPTER VII.—(Cont'd.)
"Then, if I were you, I should real-
ize every superfluous bit of land.
There are certain outlying farms
which could be disposed of without
materially disfiguring the estate, so to
speak. I marked the places. I thought
of Tyke Hole, Bonner's Farm, and
Entwhistel. They . would realize, .I
don't doubt,in the 'open market, ten
thousand pounds."
"To be tossed. into Peter Garvock's
maw!" said Alan Rankine, with ex-
treme
streme bitterness.
The old lawyer gravely nodded..
"Then I should let the house and
the shooting for what it would bring,"
he went on, but his listener interrupt-
ed him.
"My sister has to live somewhere!"
"Yes; but she could Iive in a small
house, with a couple of servants. And
from what I know of Miss. Rankine
she wouldconsider that no hardship."
"But it isn't fair to her!" cried'
Alan rebelliously.
"Granted. But at this juncture in
Stair affairs, it is not possible for is
to consider her rights. If the en-
trenchment scheme is only drastic
enough, in a, few years' time things
would mend, and ultimately you would
come back to Stair.".
"But from this letter it is apparent
that my cousin Peter will not wait."
"That is so.. But if you give me
powers, Mr. Rankine, I _think I could
do better for Stair than with *yourl
cousin. I told your father that more
than once, but Mr. Garvock had got
his oar in at Stair, and of cou-

for refusing his help. But the name
is not a good one to do financial busi-
ness with, Mr. `Rankine. Anyone in
Glasgow would tell you that."
Rankine made no response, but.
gloom impenetrable sat upon his bro*.
• "As things seem to have turned out,
since you came home, between your
cousin and you, I suppose you would
not be thinking of going back to Bom-
bay?" said the lawyer inquiringly.
"No. I'm done with the name of
Garvock, Mr, Richardson. And I ean't
settle anything definite to -day. I shall
have to go home and talk it over with
my sister, and write to my brother. I
don't see how he is to continue at
Cambridge,"
"He, must," said the lawyer firmly.
"The money for that must be found,

it might be a suitablearrangement
for Miss Rankine to go to Cambridge

"That was my cousin's suggestion.
I suppose he has been at you about

It only struck me as a feasible sug-

these things happening, what would
you propose to do, Mr. Rankine?"
Alan laughed bitterly.
"Oh, I suppose I should go to the
Klondike or some other equally im-
possible place, and seek niy fortune!
It is a matter of small consequence
what becomes of me! There are very
few to care."
"A good many care,'1 think," put in
the lawyer, quietly. rebuking. "Well,
then—what am T to say to Mr. Gar-
vock's lawyers?"
"Tell them you have placed their
letter before me, and advised me as
to its contents, and I'll go home and
see what my sister has to say about it.

that kind—can he?" inquired Alan, as
he rose from his chair.

to that. By -the -by, I see from the
newspaper this morning that Mr. Gar-
vock's marriage to that Ayr lady will
not take place. Perhaps that is what
has made him so hard. A man crossed
in love is generally pretty difficult to
deal. with."
"That may be," said Rankine, and
it was only after he had gone that
the lawyer paused to wonder in his
soul whether that announcement and
the personal -causes contributing to it
had anything to do with Peter Gar-
vock's sudden and vindictive change of
front towards .Stair.
Alan Rankine passed out into the
pleasant sunshine of a particularly
fine spring morning, feeling almost at
his wits' end. .The debaele of all his
family hopes quenched, for a spell,
the strange wonder of the new force
that had come into his life.
In the poignancy of his regret for
Stair, he forgot the vivid .face of the
woman whose eyes had looked' into his
on the sands of Ayr, while she claim-
ed him as he had claimed her. Almost
that Sunday evening seemed like a
dream. Yet before he had taken many
steps fromthe lawyer's door, he met.
her, walking quietly along the pave-
ment of that dull street of business -
houses, almost as if she had known of
his presence, and had tracked him
there l ,
And when his eyes fell on her face
everything else faded away! •
"Oh, how strange!" she cried with
a little breathless catch in her voice.
"You here! I am going to an Institute
farther up the street to inquire for.
the character of a servant -girl for my
mother. And you?'a
"My business is done," answered
Alan quietly. "I will wait for you."
They turned together, and walked
on in a silence which, though profound,
was neither embarrassing nor diffi-
cult,
"I was going to you to -day, I think
--after' I got back from Ayr. But
this will do instead. ' What have you
to do after this?"
"Nothing."
"Then you will give the rest of the
day to me?" he said, with the author-
ity of a lover' earre.:af his 'ground.
"As you will. ' When I came out of
the station this. morning and saw the
sun shining, I said to myself, 'It is
the first time I have seen the sun on
Glasgow streets!' And it was because

He smiled at that,' and the .look of
strain faded from his face. When

door of the Institute where she had to
transact her business, he suffered her
to enter alone, and'siim ly walked to

The time she was away was actual-
ly about ten or twelve minutes, but it
did not hang heavily, for he had
plenty to occupy his thoughts.
When they turned away frorn the
door together, several people noticed.

"It must be near leach time,": said
Alinas he"„
drew out his watch. "Ten
minutes to one. Where shall we go?"
"To a bun shop," she Answered un-
expectedly, "We can't afford a good
luncheon,”
"Queer thing if I ean't, on this day
of days!" he tinswei"ed,, "We'll go
down to the Windsor, I daresay we
shall have it quiet there,"
"But don't let us stop long indoors,"
she pleaded. "Couldn't we get onthe
car and ride Out into the country
somewhere?"
"I have no ncguaintaiice with The
geography of Glasgow suburbs; but
we :could go doven.by the two -fifteen
train and get out at Troon, instead of
at Ayr."
Carlotta shook her head.
"Don't let us do that. I Want to
keep away from Ayr,. I should be glad
to leave it forever!"
"Youmust not say that, Carlotta;
though heaven alone knows how soon
I may have to leave itl"
Carlotta cast a little startled glance
at hila, but he did not enlighten her
at that moment as to his meaning.

WHEN WILL ..TEA
PRICES DROP?
•A shortage in the world's . tea supply,
in the face of an enormous demand, is
forcing prices up to very high levels.
Tea merchants realize, however, that
tea at a dollar a pound only brings ,the
day of a drop in price so much x}eai'er.
Tea growers are making such tiee-
mendous profits that over -production
is bound to come at any tune.

AIRR AND YOUR PLANTS.
Wilting of plants .in winter • is
avoided by increasing the amount of
moisture in the air. It is not neees-
sary to keep the plant roots in water.
or to soak the soil continuously. To
keep the air damp,, nothing has hr -en
found which equals a pan of water
set on or near the stove, register, or
radiator, says Nature Magazine. The
water in the pan is evaporated and
distributed through the air, reducing
the transpiration from the plants.
Spraying the leaves with water every
clear day also increases themoisture
general as acts
content and g al tonic
to the plants. Watering the plants two
or three times a day is not good prac-
tice.
For winter .plants a good general
rule to follow is, to watch the soil at
the top of the pot. When it is thor-
oughly dried out, water the plant.
When 'watering, add enough to satur-
ate the entire mass of soil. Do not
just wet the top and trust to luck
that the ,soil in the bottom will get;.
wet enough:. One cans usua le be as-
sured that .the entire mass or soil is
soaked when water runs out of• the

Here's the secret: Most of these

FICTION
We are ail familiar wiili' the phrase
"feuded on fact," and know that,
again and again, the novelist has
taken real bapnenings aa the basis of
his tale. But What of the other cases
in which foot repeats fiction?

A Real Life Jean Valjean.
Fact has followed fiction in other
fields besides science. Metz beasts a:"
realiife Jean 'Valjean in Mr. Jean; Ha-
teau, who 'escaped' some • years .ago
fro mthe coevict settlement of -French
Guiono, won one little fortune by his
own work .in the NeweVorld, and then
spent it all in order to get back to
France.
..He immediately set to work again.
and soon replaced the capital which he
had lost. In Metz, where he settled,
he became quite.a prominent business
man, wlth'a reputation for scrupulous.
honesty. •
In some way,'however, his real iden-
tity became known, and he was arrest-
ed aa an escaped convict. The arrest
caused a sensation, and strong- ap-
peals were made on his behalf. Final-
ly, after he had spent some nine'
months in prison, Hateau was .pardon
ed.
The strongpian who
suffers s ere in sil-
ence imprisonment or social ostracism
in order to save a woman is a familiar
figure in fiction,
From Boy Scouts to•Bandits.
A famous case of this kind in actual
fact. was recalled by the . tragic death
of Major Cecil Aylmer Cameron, , at
Hillsborough Military Barracks, Eng-
land, recently. Some : thirteen years
ago Lieutenant Cameron, as he then
was, and his wife, Ruby, were to-
gether
ogether charged with attempting to ob-
tain by fraud 432,500 insurance on a
pearl necklace, alleged to have been
stolen from 'Mrs. Cameron.
At the trial Cameron refused to give
evidence. He was innocent, but fear-
ed that if he went into the witness -box
h9 inight prejudice the case against
his wife. Both were sentenced to
three years' imprisonment.
Two years later Mrs. Cameron made
a full: confession, and her husband re-
celved the King's pardon and was re-
instated in the Army. He served with
great distinction during the War, be-
ing four tines mentioned in dispatches
and receeving many honors.
There was a 'strong comedy note'in
a. recent news item from 'one of the
Balkan States. It appeared that a
troop„ of. Boy Scouts had been formed
in one district, but bad found scouting
dull. In search of greater excitement
they exchanged their scouts' staves
for more lethal weapons, and set up in
business as bandits. Before their ar-
rest_they had carried out quite a num-
ber of daring' robberies.
Human Ears by Pest.
The idea seems novel, but 3t has
been anticipated by the novelist. In
Disraeli's "Contrarini -Fleming" we
make the acquaintance of youths who
are similarly avid of excitement, and
who form themselves into a robber
hand in order to get it.
Brigands are usually more Pictur-
esque in fiction than in fact, but now
and again their methods recall the
thrillers We read in our boyhood. A
month or.so ago a sorter in the Post
Office at. Canton brought his stamp
down on a small parcel that seemed •
to contain a fragment of leather .lie
was rather curi`oiis as to what tlils'
might be, and decided to deliver the
package himself. He: watched *hue'
the addre'ssee opebed it. It c ditalhed
a human ear. The son of the niai'to
whom this grim token was sent had
just been kidnapped by brigands, who
had posted: on the ear asa sign that
they meant business.
Little tokens of this nature are fre-
quent in .novels dealing with ,kidnap—. '
'ping and brigandage. But surely, how-
ever strong Western influences 'have
become in the Orient during the- last
few years, the brigands of China don't.
