She did not re- oognizei hitn after eight mouths, and. she was too oppressed by the. atmos- phere of the sick -room to smile. Look- ing down moon the wan and piteous little visage with the earls brusbed baolt from. the protaberant • arch •of brow and the palm eyes dulled and large and dark, the marquis himself had some ado to recognize the vivid face with its sunny glance and rosy lips that some montha ago had drawn the heart of him as never child had drawn it before. "Norry, don't yotere- member yowl' friend Gramdby, whore you took to see jaeky Molloy's pepper?" he asked, dropping into her father's chair, and taking the white baby hand in his. Norry stared at hien' in an effort of memory. To the healthy eye there is re world of difference between daylight and candlelight, and etaall wonder so little ateat the Stranger struck- a rem- iniscertt chord. She frowned crossly alid turned to her mother for explaua- hon. "You remember the gentleman Mrs. Molloy called the raarskiss, Norry?" whispered her mother. And suddenly Norry remembered. Her Seek snaall face wrinkled and quivered in one of tho old bright wades as faint as the echo of a, inelody. "Oh, yes, Dandby, remember; and stupid Mrs. Molloy says ever since that he's the marskiss." i The moteer's hea,rt overflowed with Eolmesdale was a picturesque spot. The town of Holraesdale stood at the foot of a es-owls:1 bill. The River Dale —a brawl stream. mita deep green. banks—ran tbrough the town; the houses clustered on either side; the great dark masses of the Eolme woois rose on the left, and. on the right lay miles of • green pasture land. The chureh stood halfway no the hill, and was surrounded by tail trees. It was a oburce with arehed windows overhung. with ivy, end with a tall tap- ering spire. The rectory was aunt bill. end was a pretty. quaint old house half hidden by Nowell. There lived Dr. Fabian Brooke. one of th egreatest scho'ars and one of the simplest men in Englande-e, man wise vet simple. learned yet humble. full on "...deep religious faitb„ anti showing it a, good life. He was rector of Holmes - dale. No one ever referred to him as a miracle of eloquenee—he preached no new doetrine. he took no part in the jomewhat acrid discussions of the he startled no one by innovations of any kind: that It was it feet that the people of Holmesdale under his charge. lived gooa lives and. died happy deaths, that they were honest, sober. moral and /charitable.

Fria wife Isabel was a gentle, kindly woman. waose life had but one end -- obedience to her husband. Audrey. his 4aughter and only child, completed the little household, and had far more depth of character than any one else in it. It was a wonderful household and a seneibie one. Religion was not made bideous with either cant or severity; It was made beautiftal. gre,ceful, attrac- tive. Th4a Brookes did not (confound the sin and the sinner; they never gloss- ed over vekkedness, nor made light, of. it nor pretended. that anything could *meet it. They gave to every sin its proper name. Dr. Brooke never stood by calm- ly while the poor man who bad stol- en breati far his starving childrep and the rich swindler whe heel am -lased house entle were classed together. He never listened quietly while the. follies and. faults of a friendless, penniless ;girl were alscussei without mercy and the "fast" follies of a "fine lady" smiled. at and ealled ecceatricitie,s; he called sin • by its right name. But, while has was hard upon sin, he was Imost merci- ful to the sinner. 'Whatever the troubles. sorrows, or sins of, his parish- iorters, they had hut to go to hbn, and be had comfort for all. He could be influenced and persuaded; but no crea- ture living could make him call wrong right, or yield to what he knew was among. - In the malat ef this bousehold.

The beautiful dark eyes opened. brightly. . 'How strange—playing at love! And Your friend Miss Htimlyn does this ;yell?" "She does. indeed," replied the wid- ow. with a quiet laugh. "You will like her; she is full of life and animation. She has a large for- tune. too, and will be sure to marry well." Audrey's eyes opened more brightly still when she saw the beautiful man- sion on the hanks of the Thames which Mrs. Calverne' called borne. Tn her simple life she had seen nothing like it; it see.merl to her a very palace of gratitude for that sweet smile.

THE •WINTER DREAMER/ BULLETIN ISSUD BY THE ONTARIO AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. - Of Special, Inteiest to the Dairymen of Dias Country—Very Vainablellints and Notes on Winter Dairying Which Should be Bead and Considered. • The winter creamery offers matey ad- vantages to didrymene with few or many eows milkin'g during the winter. The chief of these are a better average quality of butter, which is sure to bring a higher priee, end the extra yield of butter per 100 lbs. of milk which is got by using the creara sep- arator. Either of these advantages will pay the cost of manufacturing the butter, • which ought not to exceed. three and one-half cents. per pound. where the milk is d.elivered at the creamery-. Again, the labor is very anuth less for tee farmer's wife, where the milk is sent to the winter cream- ery. In additien, the farmer and his wife feel muoh better when going to town to buy household aecessaries, if they have five to ten dollars in apook- et as a result of the sale of creamery butter, than if they have twenty to fifty pounds of butter hi a basket. WHERE TO LOCATE THE WINTER CREAMERY. Tee *emery may be located in ite summer cream -gathering creamery, a summer separator creamery, in e summer. cheese factory. or in a place where there are no eof these. If an where there are none of these. If an average of 15,000 lbs, of milk per week can be relied upea: during the winter season, it will pay to purchase winter creamery apparatus and hire a butter - maker. There ie no reason why our cream, gathering creameries and obeese factories stould bang out this sign about October 15th eacb. year—Gone out of Busin-ess until May the first. Pat- rons must make Dairy Butter and trade it at the Corner Grocery lentil we open up again, or else manage a " dry " Dairy for the winter. This ought not to be. The money lost through "dairy" butter, dry cows and ignorance of the first principles of economic dailwing, would pay the municipal taxes in every dairy town- ship of the Province. • THE MACHINERY AND BUILDING. The building should be made as Warra as passible with paper and dead -air spaces, and should, where practicable, be heated with "hive" steaen or with "exhaust," steam from the engine. A room 20x30 to 30x30 is required for making the butter, also an office, boil- er and engine roma, a refrigerator and an ice-house—say 600 square feet of ground space for these latter. The cost of the building will be from $1,000 to $2,000. The machinery to han- del 15,000 to 25,000 lbs. of milk weekly will cost about 01,000. The le ding Makes of separators used in Canacian oreamerie.s are: Alpha de Laval, eold by The Canadian Dairy Supply Co., Montreal. Alexandra., sold by J. S. retiree & Co., London, Ont.

The higher temperature virill increase the capacity of your sepaeator and enable it to skim more closely. It will also give smoother cream with some separators SPeed the separator to its full rate and maintain it at full speed during the weole skimming. It is economy to use the exhaust steatra for heating the weole milk or the skine-milk. Use hot water for heating, rather than "dry" steam, and the milk will not cesle on your heater so much. To removiral'ook- ed milk from heater or vat, add some washing soda to warm water and allow it to stand in the heater some time before washing.

To insure a uniform flavor of good quality, we recommend the system known as Pasteurizing. Either Pas- teurize the whole milk before separat- ing, or heat tbe cream arid skirannilk after separating. Far heating the tvliole milk it ohaunel heater about eight or ten incee,s deep with six or seven channels, about four feet long mad three to four inches wide would answer the purpose after a portion of the heating has been done in the re- ceiving vat.

"Gassy Perceval, we used. to call him," sain one officer. "He joined our drill elass on Maine 251881, when he was twenty-five years old and had itist married a very young woman, who will now, if living, be the new Countess. Perceval was it lively char- acter, and had, lea a roving life from the first, as we could tell by his yarns. He was born in Panama, near Canter. bury ba New Zealand, ion june 4tlip 1856, and was educated as a naval cadet on board the 'Worcester' train- ing ship at Greenithe, in the Thames. The discipline there was too etlinte perhaps, to suit his roving nature, sod he SHIPPED BEFORE THE MA,ST and when he came to us be had a sec- ond mate's papers, and was e.ccepted by Capt, Sir Eyre Massey Slaaw as a drill - class candidate. "He duly passed into the brigade on May 13, 1881, and took duty under the late Superintendent Hutchings, at Southwark headquarters." "The neer earl," said another. officer, "was a ratting good fellow, but he never had any chance of doing good work in saving lives. That, of course, is always a matter oi luck in our work, to a great exteut. He was stationed at banithwark far about a year, and then was: shifted, in the or- dinary routine, to Kennington.
