As this wits the only house in the
; lane, Cyril concluded thut it must
' bo Mr. Guildford Berton's abode. and
ho was as unfavorably impressed by
it as he hail been by its owner. One
experts a country cottage to l.o
light and cheerful; Mr. Guildford

bidding apptetrance, singularly out

ed a bell handle, which hung high up
in the wall, above the reach of infan-
tile hones.
The bell clanged harshly and quite
in keeping wit h the gloomy appear -
anew of the wall, and, after it few
minutes, the dour was opened by an'

"la Mr. Berton at hotne?" asked
Cyril.
The woman nodded and, opening
the door wide enough fur hint to ell -e
tor, lot it go and it fell to with a'
sharp clang. 'Then, with a slight
gesi.ure, she beckoned Cyril to fol•

low, and, leading the way up a path
which was lined on each side by
thick shrubs and wound so that it
hid the cottage, she stopped before a±
door and motioned to him to enter,'

nouncing hint in the usual way.

Cyril lturno stood looking after
Norah and the earl for some mom-
ents. �, t c (.
mt. then h • weal back to
his easel.
But he could nut work. The beauty
of the scene which ho had so reveled
in a short time ego had mysterious-
ly fled; the sun was still shining, the
trees still in their summer beauty,
but the joyous light had somehow
disappeared at the moment Norah
had passed from sight.
He sat and gazed absently at tho
sketch, hut. he saw not it, but the
lovely Lace, with its expressive cyts
and the wealth of golden -brown hair.
Ile had been smitten by her beauty
on the preceding afternoon, but now
thathe had talked with her. busked
in her smile, watched the thousand
expressions that flashed in the lovely
eyes and seemed to dunce on the
sweet lips, his admiration had grown
into—what? 'That uching in the
heart, a craving to see n►oro of her,
to hear her, to be near her, which
we call love.
His face grew pale in the intensity
of his thoughts, and unconsciously
ho murmured:
"Lord Arrowdale's tl itghter, and
I—tot a poor painter! And it was
she whom I heard last night! I
knew it! Lord Arrowdale's daughter)
Will ho be angry with her for staying
to talk with toe? For letting me,
paint her? Perhaps he will tell her
that she sinned against the fetishes, l
Conventionality and Propriety—will
forbid her to recognize mo when she+
sees mo again. And I must see her!
1 nfbst! I must! Norah! I never yy
thought tho name so beautiful be-
fore! Oh, Jack, Jack, you didn't
call 100 a fool last night, but I de-
served
lo-served that you should! Norah!"
Ino murmured the name as if it
were the sweetest music in his ears;'
then he looked at her figure in the
sketch and, as if it cost him a tre-
mendous effort, he gently and softly
drew the wet brush over it. and ef-
faced it.
"I stole that," ho murmured. "it
was not fair. It was sacrilege! But
some day—
Ile broke off suddenly, becoming
conscious that he was not. alone. At
the right of hie, among the trees
flickered a patch of pink. It was a
wOItlitll'm dress. Ile looked at it with
some surprise, and saw a tall, slim
girl. with black hair and dark, melt-
ing eyes, which were fixed on some-
thing
umo-thing in the distance. She had not

tionless and quiet for her to have
heard hire. Ile wondered vaguely
what she nus looking at until ho
saw a waiting, impatient look.
A lover has no eyes for any other
wotuan than the mistress of his
heart, but. Cyril horns was an artist
and he noticed that the girl was
mono than pretty. and he watched
her as she stood tapping her small
foot on the ground and plucking at
the cheap but neat lace on her dress
—watched her absent-mindedly.
Suddenly she turned her head, as
one instinctively does when ono is
watched, her dark face flushed and
she le a movement ns if to con-
ceal herself behind the trees, but as
Cyril mechanically raised his hat she
stepped forward and stood looking
at him half -shyly, halt -defiantly.
"It. is very warm," said Cyril, for
the sake of saying something, won-
dering whether she was it servant,
and inclined to decide that she was
a farmer's daughter.
Bowen Inclined her head.
"Yes," she said. "What aro you
cluing?" and her dark eyes wandered
curiously to the picture.
"Painting," ho replied, checking a
smile.
She conte up to hint atnl looked at
the sketch, and the thought crossed
Cyril's mind that he had quite a
grand private view that day.
"It's very pretty," she said; then,
as she looked at him again she made
a half curtsey and said, her faro
crimson: "I—I beg your pardon. sir.
Irl didn't know you were a gentler
titan."
"Didn't you? Well, that's a mis-
take other people often make. And,
after all, perhaps I'tn not. But we
won't argue the queettion; you have
(Ione nothing that requires my par-
don. Are you waiting for some ones'
"No," she said in a low voice. "I
was looking at the deer."
ile nodded. Ira was sure that he
had not seen her before, and yet
a •how her voice seemed familiar
to him. Suddenly there flashed upe•n
him the recollection of the fragment
of conversation he had heard by the
horse pond last night, and he looked
nt her with more interest.
"Do you live near here?" ho asked.
"lit the village. sir."

ors, and (teem quite naturally went

recovery.
"You aro very kind and I ant very
clumsy," he was saying', with a
laugh, when, as if from the ground,
Guildford Berton and his black horsei
stood before then.
liecca uttered a cry and let drop
the box, and Cyril, looking up, fan-
cied he saw. if not fear, a look of,
recognition in her face, which had
grown suddenly peony -colored:. but
fir. Guildford Berton glanced at her
in a cursory sort of way.
"Ah, Mecca," he said carelessly.
She stood for a minute, her eyes
fixed upon the ground; then putting
the box on the edge of the easel,
turned and disappeared among the
trees.
Cyril expected Guildford Berton
either to ride on or to commence a
verbal, perhaps n physical, attack
upon hint its c(gitiuuation of that of
the morning, but calmly wont on ar-
ranging his painting tools.
But, to his surprise, Guildford Hor-
tou dismounted, and conning up to!
him, said:
"Dir. Burne—for I have learned in
the village that that is your natme-
1 have come to offer you an apology,
for my—discourtesy this morning. I�
was engaged in deep thought when I!
came upon you maidenly, and, being
quite unprepared for your presence, I
—1 candidly admit—lost my temper.
I beg to tender you an apology."
"1 accept it. Mr. Berton," he said.
"I fancy we bot h lost our tempers,
didn't we? At. any rate, I am sure:
I (lid. llut, you see, I disliked being)
disturbed at my work as much as
you did at your thinking. And, at
ter all, it was I who was in the
wrong, thought I ant glad to Mel
that I was not quite such it crin►in.tl
as—well, as I supposed," he said,
good-naturedly, for he was going tot
say, "as you tried to snake ata
out."
'I hear that you are staying at
the rooms at The Chequers?"
"Yes," said Cyril. "and very jolly
little rooms they are."
"Yes. l am living in a small cot-
tage in the halo close by; any one
will show it to you. Perhaps if you
aro not more profitably or pleasant-
ly engaged you will come in mall
smoke a cigar with me this evening?'
ile gave the invitation almost in
the sante tone as that in which hell),
had offered his apology, and ('yril'
would have liked to have declined,
but, thinking it would stein ungra-
cious, he accepted at once.
"I shall he very pleased," he re-
plied.
"Very well, then," said Guildford
Berton.
"I atm going to the Court," he said
slowly, "and shall see the e.u) i
am sure that ho will permit Inc to
convey to you his permission to god
about the estate."
"'Thanks very ntch," said Cyril.
It's t'ery good of yon. But I saw;
the earl this afternoon and he was
kind enough to make me free of the;
place."
"You maw the earl? I'm very glad.
Then—this evening?"
"Ve:s, about nine o'clock, if that's
not too early," and Guildford Ber-
ton rode off slowly in rho direction ,
of t he Court..
Some feeling that he could not ex-
plain caused Cyril to glance neck!
after he had gone a few hundred!
yards, and he did so In time 10 see

afternoon with a keener delight than
he had ever before experienced; fur.
though tie had painted out Norah's
, figure. the picture wail so slosely con- ,
:riveted with her that her presence ac-
tually ste•mrcd to be in t he room as
he painted; and ho paused now and.
again to Icon back and recall the
morning, which she had made so de-
licious ,a time for him. 'Then, when
he had finished his fanner—a 'impel••

the woman who had let hint in; but
the winding path, with its thick
shrubs, effectually hid everything
from view, and, not liking to shout
out "Mr. Ilerton, where aro you?" ho
returned to the hall and gently open- I
ed the door of the room at which
ho had knocked.
It was a sitting room, as he had'
suspected, but so dimly lighted by a i
small petroleum lamp that at Inst
ho could scarcely distinguish any-.
thing distinctly. Then suddenly, am
he grew accustomed to the light, he
wits startled to see Guildford lter-
ton's figure lying back in an firm -
chair. 1t was placed with its bank
to tho window. and Cyril, thinking
that he had fallen asleep, wondered
whether he had not better return as
quietly as possible and refrain from
waking his host, who had apparently
sn completely forgotten his visitor.
But as he turned to go, with a sense
of relief, something in the attitude of
the figtire struck hint, and he noise-
lessly drew n little nearer.
Guildford Berton. if he e'en)
asleep. had fallen into slumber very
suddenly and in a very uncomforta-
ble position; his head lay all one
side of the choir and his Ills were
stretched out with it peculiarly help-
less expression about them.
As Cyril looked he experienced a
sudden shock, for the thought nestl-
e! 1,1)011 bite that the mutt was
dead! 'Ilio stillness of the place hung
over it like a pall, and, for the first
time, he noticed n faint and peculiar,

half open, the lips lightly compress-'

ored breathing that Guildford Ilerton
was not dead.
Considerably alarmed, he looked
round fora bin, hut, not meeting any
sign of one. he went to the door and

eyes and heaved a long sigh; then a

into his fare and, making an effort
to sit up, he said, staring at 1 is

''7 he feeding for quantity and qua-•
lily of milk needs great skill and at-
tention, although there i:; nothing
more written upon in our live stock
and agricultural papers than the ra-
tions for daily cows, and nothing
more variable than their formula.
'!here is a difficulty to bo met at
this time of year that seems to have
escaped attention, that is the dif-
ficulty of obtaining suitable green
food at our suntlmer shows for cows
that have beets allowed to grass
previous to their being cxbibited. 'l'ho
green food found by the societies
varies from lucerne and )sainfoin to
)nixed clover and grasses, often so
moth fermented by being cut too
long that the cattle will not eat it.
The safest course to ensure. success is
not to feed on green food at all,
but to depend only on such foods as
can be taken with yo'i, thereby
avoiding the pos'ibility of your cow
or cows being thrown off their feed
just when you want then at their
beat.
"As regards cake and meals, there
is probably nothing to equal or sur -
{:ass one part of best linseed cake
to three parts of decorticated cotton
cake, with good hay and water ad
libitum. Commence with four
pounds of the mixed cakes per day,
increasing to eight or twelve pounds
per (lay, according to the sire and
appetite of your cow, keeping a
watchful eye so as not to sicken or
purge; the cakes being rather hard,
requires good mastication, and being
greatly relished, causes a free flow of
saliva, renderinv, digestion easy and
assimilation perfect. Be sure to ob-
tain your cake from a reliable
source, with a guarantee of purity.
Many competitors feed with (noshes
and other slops, with the result of a
large quantity of milk of poor qua-
lity, and this is attributed to tho
food being swallowed. too rapidly and
not being properly digested: in fact,
to overload the stomach defeats your
object of obtaining the best results.
"The treatment of cows having to
travel any distance to shows requires
attention. They should be led spar-
ingly the day •previous to the jour-
ney, and should only get a little hay
and anter on rho morning before
they start. '1'o truck cattle with
loud((! stomachs upsets their whole
systems, and causes the attendant a
lot of unnecessary work; but if light-
ly fed the animals will stand their
journey much Letter and commence
feeding as soon as they reach their
destination. A careful herdsman will
see that his charge is not disturbed
by every carious passerby. Quietude
is essential to (fairy cows.
"'The Milking is it most important
sten•., and upon which success h
depends. The cow and her milker
should be on the best of terms, in
fact, they should Le positively fond
of each other. The milking should be
done so carefully that the cow looks
forward to the operation us n relief
and comfort, the pace at which the
milk should be drawn must be regu-
lated by the cow and not the milker;
it is all very well for men to talk
aboutfast or slow milking, but it
must la dorso in accordance with the
construction of the udder and teats,
if the litter are large and the outlet
the same, free milking may take
place, but if the teats are small and
the passage somewhat constricted, It
is impoesilele to force out the milk
rapidly without causing the animal
pain, lheri•fore, slow milking :►t
be resorted to. Ile sure and get the
lust drop out, that is often what
wino."
