And the hour came when gentle Hazel Ester - brook cursed the mad folly that caused her to leave Little Gay by herseaf that evening. "Oh. how 1 should 'have loved to have gone," sobbed Gay, rising from her ooh and folding up the pretty tarlatan dress With its fluttering ribbons."Hw lovelY this would lasae looked on me.' She slipped on the dress, and the pret- ty slippers that were sent with it, just to see how she would have looked in them. Was it the spirit of girlisli mischief -or fate, that put the next thauglit into her impulsive, thoughtless litle head?

"Gay!" lie exclaime stamrisedly, adding reproachfully, "you refused my escort, yet I find you here after all; surely you did net corae by Yourself?" "Yes, I did; I ran away from Hazel, I only meant to take one peep in. then go home again," she said, with a bewitching rippling laugh. "Now, that you are here, you must come in and have one waltz at least, then I will take you home if you like," Percy pleaded eagerly. Gay hesitated, and in hesitating she was loet. The gay dance-musie seemed to ehrill her very soul. She threat how very an- gry Hazel would be. The music seemed to enrapture her, and the great golden lights she could see through the window -"the sheen of satin and the glitter of diamonds" -to daze and bewilder her. Thoughtlessly enough Gay allowed her- self to become persuaded, and before she could scarcely realize what was happen - ng the same arnae that were around her in the cold dark waters were infold- ed about her once again, and they were whir/bag down the beautiful, gilded, Slow- er-erabowered ballroom to the strains of the dreamy waltz music. A jealous pair of steel -blue eyes watch them. Mies St. Claire, all radiant in &a- blaze satin and diamonds that encircle her white throat like a band of glittering fire, has just entered the ballroom with Harold Tremaine, whose escort she has accepted at the very last moment. Her °lase tightens upon Trenmine's arm, and be clutches nervously at her fan and bouquet. "Who can that exquisite little fairy be whom Percy Granville is waltzing wi,h?" she asks aloud. "Surely it is madness to imagine that it eau be—" They are Dearing her each moment now, and Evelyn Si.

"Oh, my," he sneered insolently, rais- ing his voice to a pitch lowl enough for all about them to plainly hear, "how high we do fly. What raighty aire we put on for a beggar faotory girl, who runs one of the looms in the Pa,ssaie Cotton Mills at six dollars per week!" Oh, how the lights and. the glittering throng whirled about poor, hapless Little Gay! The music seemed to fall on her ears with a horrible crash. She could, see those around them gazhig at her with scorn and withering con- tempt. She could hear the haughty exela- , mations of: "Only a factory-girll Dear me! What in the world possessed ber to get herself up like a lady and come here?" Poor Gay! Peer, hapless Little Gay. She elneenk eoweringly baek from her cruel enemy, and from the scornful,. angry eyea . turned upon hall sides, from acle like a wounded, fluttering bird ie the agonies of death. She put out her hands groping- ly, with a little, piteous cry. Ob, why had she come? If she were onlyback in her humble little attiara roa again, and oould sob away the pain of her bursting heart on Hazel's breast! Why had she come among this grand throng of beautiful young girls to be laughed at, to be scoffed and jeered at beca,use Heaven had willed it that she must earn her own honest bread in the Passaic, Cotton Mille? Oh, why had the eome to the grand ball? Little Gay cowered away from her cruel, triumphant enemy, great tears gathered in her dark eyes, and fell like .rain down her white fae,e from which all the jay and brightness had been stricken -as a cruel holt of lightning blasts a tender lit- tle bleesora. At that moment Percy. Granville re- turned with the ice. Gay crept Ms to him -he was her only friend among all that tlaroug of cold, proud faces. "What Is the matter?" he asked, look- ing from one to the other In the greatest amazement, hurriedly setting down the ice. Tremaine laughed, and the flaming, inso- lent lignrin his eyes deepened. "Pease*/ I simply asked our beautiful fury here to have a danoe with me," he ejaculated, "and she flew into a high and mighty temper. Just think of it -a miser- ehle litle loom -girl flying into a raga at me -what right have such people with tem- pera anyway? They've nobody -confound "Stop! -not another word!" commanded Percy Granville, in a voice of thunder. "Neither I nor any other honest man will stand by and hear aught that is in- sulting spoken of a pure young girl whose honest toil wins for her her daily bread. My respect and admiration for a working - girl is profound; every true gentleman will veice my sentiments." He tuxned tenderly toward Little Gay, but not an instant too soon, for the slen- der figure was swayiag to and fro, and would have fallen in a dead faint to the ball -room floor if he had not put out his strong arm!, and caught her. "I would advise you to band. that girl over to the attendants," sneered Tremaine, "unless you wish to give color to the story that is circulating about you two. By the eternal! I believe now that it is quite true. He leaned over and whispered a few words in his cousin's ear -words that made the blood run cold in Percy Graa villa's breast and made the veins stand out like whipcords on his forehead. "leilla,int scoundrel/ liar!" he retorted in a low, intense 'voice. "By Heaven, Tre- maine, you shall answer to Ine before the sun rises, for daring to speak as You have of Little Gay. I will prawn her boaor with my heart's blood. I will take her home, then I shall return and we will settle this matter.' "We have been goad friende until now," said Harold Tremaine, turning white; "do you mean that this factory -girl is to come between us?" . "We are bitter secretes now," cried Perey Granville, hotly. "Well, as you have taken It upon your- self to be her champion, I suppose you intati that we are to lia,ve a duel to set- tle this affair?" "That Is precisely what I mean," re- plied Percy, haughelly; "a duel it is to be. will avenge the honor of beautiful, spotless Little Gay before the sun rises- er I will. die," •oor•••.:i,,N...o. CHAPTER /V. Percy Granville bore the alight tlgure quickly from the ballroom to the cool, green conservatory beyond, where, with the aid of the attendant, who was dis- patched for her wrape, and who quickly reeurned with restoratives also, Little Gay was soon brought to consziousness. She clung to Pere- like a laystasical child, hiding her pretty, tear -stained face on his arm, gobbing piteoitaIee "Oh, take me home eake me home, Mr. Granville.

It would be so nice te have a handsome young husband to love and protect her. If she married him she would not have to go to the mill any more in the sum- mer's heat and winter'ssnows. And then -she loved him so well -she owed her very' life to him; yes, she loved him with all her heart. The peachy bloom on her cheeks deepen- ed. "Is it to be 'yes' or 'no,' Gay?" he while pered eagerly. "res." she murmured. shyly, and in the prettiest eonfusion. He forget the terrible anger of the sterii old uncle, who never forgot or forgave, which was sure to follow. He thought only of Little Gay. He caught her to his heart in a rapeure of delight. We will be married at once -to -night - Little Gay," he said. "Delays are en- tities dangerous; from this hour we be- long to esaai other. We will be made one in name as well as in heart." Half an hour later they were standing at the tatar in the little graystene elnixeh -Gay shrinking, tixaid and dazed, like elm in a, dream; Percy fearless and reso- lute. The fatal ceremony that followed seem- ed like a confused dream, too, to peer little Gay. At length Percy turned to her with a smile and a kiss, calling her his bride, his own lovely litele wile It was done; nothing but death could ever undo it. Whether it was to bring happiness, or bring the cruellest woe, only Heaven alone could have foretold. "Are we really married, Percy?" she whispered, clinging tightly to bis arm :le they left the church. "It seems so strange that 1 eannot realize it." "It is quite true you are my own now, to love and proteet while life lasts, he answered reassuringly. Then it came to him with a !Wien shock; how long, after all, was he in live to protect her? In the ercitement of woo- ing and winning. Gay, he had quite for- gotten the duel that was to be fought, to avenge the insult to her. Liana, Gay's honor was doubly dear tt him now. He caught her passionately in his atrong arms, and held her tightly for one brief instant against his throbbing 'heart, his handsome face paling to the very lips. Ile must tear 'himself away from hie pret:y little bride at once, if be would have the courage th go at all and leave her; then he put her from him gently. "Would you mind accepting the rector's hospitality -to come Jute the pareunage and rest awhile? I am obliged to return te the Highland House, but 1 will not re- main away from you one moment longer than necessity compels." And, leaving her in care of the rector and his wife, he kissed the rosy, treniu- thus mouth, turned quiekly, and walked hurriedly away, swiftly retracing his steps through the inonlit path that led through the tangled brushwood over which he had so lately passed with Gay by his side - his heart in a tumultuous whirl. The grand ball was at Le 'height when he entered. Pew knew of the incident which had so lately transpired in their midst, and which was about to lead to a tragedy. He saw Harold Tremaine standirg at the further end of the ballroom, leaning care - lively against a marble vase of lare otice, .Tremaine was evidently watching the entrance -door .for his return.

It is very necessary that we re- cognize hog cholera, and swine plague in the very early stages in order to prevent them from spread- ing. In some outbreake the symp- toms are not typical and we -cannot diagnose the disease by he symp- toms alone. In such cases we should destroy 4 sick hog and make at care- ful post-mortem exaraination, says Prof. R. A. Craig. If the disease proves to be hog cholera or swine plague, and it is practical under the eonditions the herd should he divided into small bunches. The sick animals should be separated from the well ones and all possible precautions taken against the spread of the disease. Do not move the hogs to different parts of the farm, nor scatter the disease over the farm. If the yards and hog houses are in such a condi- tion that they cannot be properly cleaned and disinfected we should move the herd to some convenient place and build temporary quar- ters. When the weather is warm the only protection needed is shade. In cold weather it is necessary to pro- vide quarters warm enough to pre- vent the hogs from piling up and catching oold. Portable hog houses are very useful for this purpose. The yards, Seeding floors, troughs and hog houses must be kept clean. All litter must be removed daily, and the frequentd spraying of the hogs, feeding floors and sleeping quarters with a water solution (two per eent. or more, of a tar disinfect, ant is a, necessary part of the care. Both the sick and well hogs should he fed a, light diet of sloppy food, shorts, bran and the like. Water or slops must not be left in the trough for the hogs to wallow in. Copper sulphate dissolved in the water and slop in the proportion of four or five ounces to the, barrel may lessen the chance of infection. As soon as a hog comes down with the disease it ehould be removed to the pens set aside for the sick ani- mals. These pens should not com- municate in any way with the pens where thewell hogs are kept. The dead hogs should be burned. This is not a difficult task if the body is placod on top of a pile of wood that will burn quickly and make a hot fire. dispose,c1 of by burying is should be well done and the body covered with lime. How- ever, this is not as satisfactory as burning. The length of time that the beg houses and their surroundings will remain infected will depend on the care taken in eleaning them. In filth the germs may live for five months. All litter about the yards must be burned or removed to a place where the hogs canuot eome in contact with it. Whitewaeh and disinfectants ro.ust be used freely about the hog house and yards. If the cleaning and die - infecting is carefully done we may be able to stock up again within a few weeks after the hogs have stop- ped dying and suffer no further loss, but it is usually best to wait two or three months before we do this, or depend on the hogs that have survived for a fresh start. Where it is plactical we should move the hogs to some other part of the farm and build new and bet- ter yards. The pure-bred hog will matinee and eonse into money more quickly than a serub, and bring more money for the sante weight at that. H Sows are closely -watched et farrowing time and the pigs im- mediately be placed in a position to suck they ave not so apt to devour them.

The ranger at this station has di- rect charge of some two hundred and thirty square miles of highly valuable, young, second -growth spruce and poplar forest, and his central object and 'work will be to sadeguard it from fire by every pos- sible means, so that in two or three 'decades it may yield welcome and abundant supplies of fuel and lum- ber to the dwellers on the prairies.

"FIRST cost of an ordinary dirt or macadam road is usually only a "starter." The cost of upkeep soon equals that first cost and there is always an ever-increasing annual expense for repairs.

And the remaining payments are as certain as taxes. The upkeep cost of concrete roads is practically nothing.
