"As you choose," returned the doctor. spying to himself that he had secured e jewel In finding a gardener so inter- ested in his work. Gilbert Forrester, who had given the name of Allan Seymour, took occasion in avail himself of the privilege two days later. To his intense annoyance, he "did not see Corine about, and determined to h urn all that he wished to know from the loquacious little maid of all work, Madge, whom he could see had taken suite a strong fancy to him since the I:me he had first made his appearance there. Madge was only too pleased to talk with the bonny new gardener, and he was soon in possession of the family history, how many there were In the house, and a full account of the pretty young girl who had been brought to visiit the old doctor and his wife on the nigh of the terrible storm. Ile also learned that it was the young girl's father who had arranged the visit to the lonely old farmhouse, for the young girl was terribly lonesome and homesick. desiring to go home the fol- lowing day, and they would have come for her but for a most unexpected cir- curnstance—two in the household had teen taken with a malignant disease— the father and a young girl cousin; and Linden Hall had been quarantined in consequence. Therefore, whether Miss Corine Bar- low liked it or not, she was thus destin- ed to spend some time at the old Bax- ter farmhouse. "Miss Corine has not learned about it yet," went on the girl. "A gentleman has just conte over from the village near where she lives to acquaint her with the facts. lie went in search of her out through the grounds just a few moments before you came. 1 hope he has found her—under the old apple tree —where i directed hint. And, oh, what a liberal young man he is,"added the girl, shyly, exhibiting a bank note. "He pave me this, and said: 'Look atter Miss t Corine well."' "Did he tell you his name?" asked the gardener, carelessly. "No," returned Madge, "but as he stepped into the grounds 1 heard old Ur. Baxter tell his wife that the gentle- man was Mr. John Rockledge, a law- yer. and she also added that he was one of the noblest young men that the world held; and he further staled that it was the desire of Miss Corine's father that his daughter should marry the lawyer." The girl did not notice the cruel smile that crept up to the lips of the new gardener under the thick. curling. red mustache, nor see his dark eyes, which were at such variance with his com- plexion, gleam with a strange light in their depths. 11. cut short his conversation with the maid, though he could see how grievous- ly disappointed she was at not having as long a chat with hitt as she had set Iter mind on, and strolled on through the grounds. wondering if Rockledge Tail found Corine. and if he could. by any possible means, overhear their in- terview. iew. for he fell sure that before the prove tatting lnwyer left (',urine that day. he would tell her of his love.

The market value of her product must more than coun- terbalance the market value of the food consumed and care bestowed upon her. The cow that does not manifest any dairy tendencies cannot be depended up- on to be profitable to her owner though the best of feed and care be given her. Iter natural tendencies are to produce prime beet. She should not be directed into the dairy channel for which she ii not adapted. The cow for profit in lite dairy, must ttave the ability to convert food into milk and not into beef. She must not lack vigor and constitution and the abil- ity to transmit to her progeny such qualities as she possesses. And if her breeding is unquestionable, the chances are that she will have the sante ten- dencies. But these qualities alone will not make the cow profitable unless the produc- tree capacity of the farm is such as to produce an abundance of chenp and suit- able food for the cow. Tho unproduc- tiveness of almost all land is easily over- come by the application of manure or commercial fertilizers and a proper ob- servance of the principles of tillage. It has been demonstrated by experi- ments again and again that the only reliable criterion to determine the pro- ductive or non productive ability of the ((airy cow is tate scale and Babcock test. The milk of each cow should be weigh- ed and recorded at each milking. At least once in three months a composite and proper sample of six makings of each cow should be tested and the re- sults recorded. ,The annual records will determine the profitable and unprofit- able cows in the herd. The unproflt• nble cows should he discarded. Atter having eliminated the scrubs in the herd where Is the dairyman going to find the cows he wants to take the place of (hose he has discarded? Shall he go to some adjoining state, county et town. or shall he seek them in his awn herd? Dairying should begin at home. He should look into his own herd and see how ninny in the herd come up to the standard of what a dairy cow should be. • The cows having these qualities should be selected. They should have the per- fect dairy figure and constitution. Thick through the middle of their bodies with large udders. These cows should be t,red to the best dairy sire that cnn he found.

DOGS WIIU ll CATCH FISH. They Are Also Used 1* Transportation and Travel. Sakhalin and other islands north of Japan are largely occupied by Ainus, a people that seem to be related to the Eskimos of this continent. They have a race of half-dotnesticated dogs, upon which they are dependent to a greater degree even than their relatives of Greenland. They use these dogs not cnly for transportation and are davel but for catching fish. abund- ant In those waters, and the dogs are trained to take them as described in the rages of "Life with Trans-Siberian Sav- ages." From the time 1 started 1 was puzzled to guess what they could be taking thirty dogs with them for, and my curio• slty now kept me very closely on their track. 1 was soon to be well repaid for my trouble.
