though that time elapsed, arid many
nihantios took piece, for better or
'for worse, in all circles of society,
, there had not beetl inuelt change in
;the relative positions of the actors
in oer tale.
One bright meriting in tho spring
!time of the year, a youth, with the
soft down of early manhond on his
'
; lips and cheeks, paced slowly to and
; fro ilear the margin of the pond in

Presently a female figure appeared

added q112.ekly,---

"Quite well," replied Enema. enel
then, turning somewitat abruptly to
Willie, said, with a, slight look of

"None ih the world, Willie," said
Frank With some haste, "but • you
tell me you aro not thinking Of that
just now; so pray lot's hear what
you've got to say."
"Oh it's all very well for you,
old Blazes, to ehange the subjectin
that way, but I'm nettled et your
implied objection to my getting mar-
ried if I choose. However, we won't
quarrel over it, so here goes for the
point. There aro two points which
trouble me just now, Frank, and I
wain your opinion in regard to
theta. Thefirstis, laiss Tippet.
She is a small point, no doubt,
Wh01.1101` NVO regard her physically or
mentally, but she is by no means a
mean point if we •regard her Fenian
ly„ for the good that that little
woman does in a quiet unobetrusive
way is almost incredible. Well, Miss
Tippet has been much out of sorts
of late, mentally; and Mr. Tippet,
who is the kindest man alive, has
been very anxious about her, and has
begged of roe to try to counsel and
comfort her. Now, it is not an
easy matter to comply with this re-
quest, • because, in the first place,
Miss Tippet does not want inc to
counsel or comfort her, so far as I
know; and, in the second place, my
rootives for attempting to do so
might be misunderstood."
"How so ?" exclaimed Frank quick-
ly. •
"Well, you know, Miss Ward lives
with her„ said Willie, with a modest
look.
There was again something' pecu-
liar about Frank's expression and
manner, as he said, "Well, it would
not signify much I dare say, if peo-
ple were to make rentarks about you
and Miss Ward, for you know it
would net be misconstruction atter
"What meaa you 7" asked Willie in
etesprise.
"You remember what you once said
to me about e our bosom being on
fire," pursued Frank, "I suppose.:
the fire has not been got under yet,
has it ?"
Willie burst bine a loud laugh.
"Why Binges, do you not know—?
But no matter; we came here to talk
of business; after that is done we
can diverge to love. You moist know
Frank„ that the cane of Miss Tip-
pet's disturbance jast now is 'the
strange conduct of her landlord,

"I don't know whatto think,"
said 'Ermineafter a pause. "Either
the matt must be mad, or he wishes
to rob Miss Tippet's house in ber
ebsence."
Willie 'admitted' that the first sop -
position might be true, but he held
stoutly that the second was impos-
sibly, for Boone was too honest for
that. Willie, moreover, said he
would go and consult Ins friend
Barret. about it.
"You know Barret, Prank ?"
"No; bute nave beard of him."
"An, hen: a firsI, rate fellow—in
one Of the insurance offices,' forget

nest went to Mr. Tippet's. - He and
I became graat friends when lie lived
under our workshop. He got mar-
ried two years ago, and I have not
seen »moll of him since, but he's a
sharp fellow, fold keows a good deal

aware of. I'll go and eee if he can s
throw any light on this eubject. The e
next point," poreuded Willie, "is

Frank said he had not.
"Wen, 3 ani greatly troubled about

Frank laughed, but said eagerly—

long ago that there was a, fire in
Y000 bosom lit up by a certain
young friemi of Miss Tippot's—"
"Oh," interrupted Willie, "Emma,

placed her long ago. No, no, Fronk,

Frank, what an absent frame of

"What do you think I should do?
that is the question."
"You can offer to assist them,"
sugg.ested Frank.
"I've done so," said the other,

t.iniza, won't accept of assist -
"Could we not manage to get her
a situation of some sort with light
work and good pay ?"
"Alt 1 a fireman's, for instance,"
cried :Willie with a sarcastic laugh;
"did you over hear of a situation
with light work and good pay ex-
cept under Government? 3 never
did; but we might perhaps find ste-
dy work and good pay. It would
only be requited for a time, because
I mean to—ah, well, no matter—but
how and where is it to be got?
Good lir. Tippet is of no use, be-
cause he is mad."
"fad,, WiJlie ?"
"Ay, mad as a March hare. For
years back I have suspected it, but
now 1 am sure of it; in fact, I feel
that I 3ia.V0 gradually come to be his
keeper—but more of that anon.
Meanwhile, what is to be done for
th,e.oCatriatcitleiyi-os?th'i"ng
be done with Mr.
Auberly ?"
Willie shook his head.
"No, I fear not. ITo was in a soft
state 031C4), long ago—six or seven
years now I think—when the dear
fairy was ill, and he seemed as if be
were going to become a man; but his
daughter Leo had just begun to be
ill at that time. Site's been so long
ill now that he has got used to it,
and has relapsed again into an oys-
ter."
"Ire might be remitted through Loo
yet," said Frank.
"Perhaps," replied Willie, "but
doubt it, for he's a blunt old fellow
in his feelings, however sharp he
may be in his business; besides, Loo
is so weak now that very few are
allowed to see her except Ziza, and
Miss Tippet, and Emma Ward.
The brothers remained silent after
this for some time, for neither of
them could see his way out of their
difficulties; at last Frank euggested
that Willie should go home and con-
sult his mother.
"She is wise, Willie, end has never
given us bad advico yet."
"I know what her first advice will
be," said Willie.
"What ?" asked Frank.
"To go and pray about it," an-
swered Willie.
"Well, she might give worse ad-
vice than that," mid Frank with
much earnestness. 'lln fact, doubt
if sive could give better."
"True," assented Willie, "caid now,
old fellow, I'm off. Mr. Tippet likes
punctuality, 111 look in at the sta-
tion in passing if anything turns up
to clear my mind on those matters,
meanwhile good -by."

RAISINGIXEThEI CALVBIS,
In raising heifer calves for use
the dairy, X prefer to lot them sta
with the mothers for 24 hours an
then turn the mothers in to them
three times a day for four or five
days, in order that they may have
three meals a day by natural meth-
od until they got a fair start writes
Mr. Thos, Heins, I usually spriak
Et little salt upon the- calf as soon a
it is dropped, in order that th
mother may lap it dry and be th
readier for her warm drink a. litt
later. If the weather is cold,
take the calf to warmer quarters im
mediately, and rub ber dry with
cloth, beginning at once to feed b
hand, A quart of the mother'
milk three times a day is enough fo
the first week. All milk fed for th
first three moths ia warmed t
blood heat, or given fresh from tit
cow, It is a little harder to teac
the calf to drink from a pail if no
taken from the mother at once, but
firmly believe she grows better, i
allowed to -feed in the natural Wa
for a few days. In the ease of Jer
says Or Guernseys there may be onc
in a while a cow whose milk is to
rich for her calf, wider which cir
cumstence it is probably better t
change to diluted milk as soon a
the bowels of the calf show tha
there is trouble.
At the end of the first week toe
calves are taking, from galvanized
Pails, _
THREE FEEDS A DAY,

tant. X feed skinunilk for six months

are tethered upon a grass plot as

first summer. They have bran and
oats in addition to the grass.

TO PREVENT HORNS GROWING.

of agriculture gives the following
directions. for the use of caustic po-
