Nettie noticed nothing: her one
great relief and source of gratitude
was that she would not have to go
through the trial of seeing Sir Basi(
again. The doctor had said that
she must go to Mentone as soon as
gytssible. and that in the meantime
she must be kept perfectly free from
all cxcitenent and must see no one.
Sir Bevil and }fettle could never
suspect that their secret was known
to Martin Ray; touch less could they
imagine that it had been revealed to
Leah by her father. Whatever she
did they must believe it to be the
expression of her own feeling. the
result of her own thoughts; they
could not attribute it to any influ-
ence brought to bear upon her. Her
life just then was very quiet. owing
to Hr: tic's illness; there was neither
e isit ing nor the receiving of visi-
tor. Had it been otherwise. the
strain upon her would have been too
great. rind she would have given

most beautiful women In England,
she was, nevertheles-s. one of the
most mieerahle and desolate of
human beings. There were times
when she reflected that she had mad

o the labor of lifting the milk up to

the afterward. I feel free to say that
the majority of farmers will not
undergo the labor to do this work
properly. Where it is so difficult
ander our conditions, I think it
would bo almost in'possible under
the conditions of the ordinary farm,
because there would he too much i work. To lift the milk up, to let it i
run over the cooler, and afterward ,
,wash the cooler, is more than the i
average man will do.
Then
there is the difficulty that by
using such a cooler you expose the
milk largely to the air, and so run
'he same risk as in the use of the
' aerator- Any form of cooler which
