TJhe Lady of Lancaster ;
Or, Leonora West's Love.
es -CHAPTER XXIII.-(Continued).
When Leonora Want said "please" iu
that coaxing tone these were not many
people who could resist her, Mrs. West
did not. She said to herself that it would
be no harm to walk about the grounds a
bit with her niece. She could not refuse
her a breath of fresh air, certainly.
Sho saw Lady Lancaster sitting in a
Chaim in the ballroom, and she did not
think it likely that she would stir from
her seat for at least an hour.
"So. I'll run the risk," said the kind,
hearted woman. "Come along, Leonora."
They went down ' into the beautiful
grounds 'along the moonlighted paths,
past gleaming groups of statuary. ghost-
like in the weird light, past beds of rarest
flowers Ipagb thickets of roses, walls of
honeysuckles, with the white 'radiance of
the croon shining over everything.
How sweet this is!" the girl whisper-
ed. "When two: were crossing the ocean, I
grew so tired of the water and the sky;
I longed for the green grass and the flow-
ers. How soft and fragrant the air is,
and how 'beautiful the moonlight! I.think
T could stay out here all night." '
Yon would • catch your death of cold."

Mrs. West ed, aghast. Tho dews are
very hoarvy"
"Oh, of ,course, I don't mean to; but it
ie so romantic. It is like an Eastorn
night, so soft and balmy, and --oh, oh!
Aunt West, ie that the nightingale - the
English nightingale papa used to love so
dearly?"
She clapped her little hands: ,It was
the nightingate, indeed, hid in some flow-
ery covert, all alone,
"Pouring his full heart,
In profuee strains of unpremeditated art.
"Yes, it ie the nightingale," said Mrs.
West, delighted that Leonora had found
something .at laet in England to grow en-
thusiastic over. "There' are so nanny of
them here, and it is down by the Magic
Mirror you hear that one singing. It ie
their favorite resatt."
The Magic Mirror•?" echoed Leonora:
"Yes. It is a pretty pond of water a
little :further on all fringed with w.illowe
and roeee,. It is as smooth and clear as
a mirror, and there is an old tradition
that the ,youth or maiden gazing Into the
MaeleXt'ror by moonlight, in the month
of Tune, ••may see there reflected theface
of his or her life companion."
"Olt, Aunt West, let us go there!" cried
the • ir1 eagerly.

And you are tired," said the girl, with
'generous compunction. "I ought to have
remembered that." She pushed Mrs. West
gently into a low rustic seat by the path,
andsaaid, kindly: "Sit heli and rest :while
l g, d ityes The nightingale's
voice shall g isle Inc."
"You wilt, bo long?" said Mrs. West,

p e at at1101< pace,
Following the sound of the nightlinale'
Voice, and repeating under her breath
those exquisite lines to the nightingale
jvritteri by Sir Walter Scott:
"Bcantiful nightingale, who shall portray
A11 the varying turns .of thy flowing lay?
,end whore ie the lyre Whose chards shall
roply
To the notes of thy changeful .melody 'I
We may linger, indeed, and paten to
thee,
But, the linked chain of thy harmony
Is not for Mortal hands to unbind,
Nor the clew of thy mazy music to find.
Thy home ie the wool on :the echoing
bill,
De the vordattt banks of the forest rill;
And eon as thesouth wind the btenches
among.,
Thy plaintive larmout ,goes floating
along:
She went on swiftly through the beauti-
ful night, guided by the nightingale's
voice, and with a faetibeating heart; for,
with all a young girl's folly, she meant
to look into the Magic Mirror to see, per
chance, the face of her future lord and
master.
Louder and nearer grew the notee of
the nightingale as Leonora hastened ou,
She thought ,she had never heard any,
thing so sweet. At first it had only bean
ono bird, but now several had joined
their notes together in a anedley of in-
toxicating music that swelled deliciously
upon the fragrant air of the night. She
walked lightly, .almost holding her breath
ae slie came upon the scene, for fear of
frightening them away.
She massed from the shadow of the
grand oaks that had overhung her path,
out into an open space, and the Magic
Mirror buret upon her sight -a little lim-
pid lake fringedwith willows and sweet.
brier and water -lilies, and so clear that
the full, 'white radiance of the moon and
stars was rnirrored on He tranquil
breast, while, hid in the tbicket of rose
and willow, tho night birds were pour.
ing out their hearts in song.
"Oh, how sweet!" cried the girl. She
clasped her hande in an ecstasy, Her
heart was touched by the peaceful beauty
and enchanting repose of the scene.
Scarce a ripple stirred the bosom of -the
quiet lake, and the water -lilies, drooping
to look at their fait reflections, were
scarcely ruffled by the soft, light breeze
that played around the enchanting spot.
Leonora moved softly forward to the
verge of the Magic Mirror, and bending
forward, with a slightly ' quickened
heartsbeat, gazed down into its cryetel-
elear depths. She :saw her own face gaz-
ing back at her with all its fresh young
beauty, its eager eyee and ,parted lips, the
dark yeil twisted car•elec,sly abopt her
head, and the loose tresses of her- hair '
fiowine beneath it. She earw all this clear-
ly es in a mirror, and. for a moment she
remained intently . gazing at it, wonder-
ing if the old legend were indeed true,'
and if the face of her future husband
would indeed rise from those mysterious
depths by the side of her own.
So absorbed was she in contemplation l
that the did not detect the faint scent of
cigar smoke that suddenly filled the air;
she did not hear the approaching step
that was muffled also, not tofrighten the
birde away. She remained amazing .in.tently into the water, half bentt .forward,

Somethinglike r
a startled ed cry buret
from Leonora'sli1eehe thus beh ld
that fa bceide C b d C
a de her own -that fair,
,
strong, handsome -retie that was as famil-
iar as lior own ---the face of Clive Lord
Lancaster.
She believed for a moment that his fano
had indeed arisen from the depths of the
enchanted tool, and after that one start-.
led cry she was silent, watching it with
dilated ogee and bated breath, expecting
every moment to see it fade into the no-
thingness] frou which it ad
sprung.
.
But, instead or fadingit rew r
, g e
to her sight ib changed iClearer
expression. At,
first it had a h.alf,misehiovoue smile upon
the lips and in the eyes; tshis changed to
gravity tenderness, and paeeiom. It was
the face of a lover on which Leonora now
gazed with 'rapt .interest, npconsoioue
that -
"Itis eyes looked love
To ayee :that snake again,"
it wars a moment of silent, happi.iteee.
The light .wind stirred the .hilt' bud on
'the bosons of the lake that held hose
two fair faces ,mirrored in its .breast;
the uigh,tingale'e song pierced tlheir
hearts with exquisite pleaeure that 'bor.
dere<l on pair..
Leonora, wandering tar one moment In
the Land. of Enchantment, ,was recalled
to the present and to the actual by the
man'[ folly,
------------
He should have stolen away ae he had
come, in silence, leaving her alone with
her beautiful, strange illusion, to bear
its fruit in due season; but -
"Men's hearts crave tangible, close ten-
derness,
Love's presence, warm and near."
He yielded to a tender impulse without
trying, to resist it. He wasclose beside
her; his cheek was near her own; his
eyes looked into her eyes as they gazed
up from the water, and those soft orbs
had a look in them that made him dizzy
witlh delight. He slid his arms around
the graceful bending ,form and whisper.
ed in her ear:
'Leopora, is it fate?"
Alas!
"A touch, a kiss! the charm was snapt!"
Like one startled from a dream, she
looked up and saw him holding her in
that strong clasp, gazing into her face
with a passion that -frightened. her. Sho
tare herself from his arms,
How dared you? oh, how dared you?"
she cried out, indignantly.
Hor angry words, her scornful glance,
chilled the fire that burned within him,
He realized his folly. Wily had the touch-
ed her, frightened her, and so broken the
spell of enchantment 'that held her? She
would never forgive trim, perhaps, for his
temerity.
Did you tlhinic, becauee you were my
Lord Lancaster, forsooth, and I only the
housekeeper's niece, that you could in-
sultme thus?
Her voice .broke cold and sharp on the
stillness. The nightingales had all flown
away at the first sound of her angry
tones.
-Insult you?" cried the culprit,, agita-
tedly; he was too Much shocked at the re.
suit of his hasty act to .speak 'calmly. Be-
lieve me, Miss West, I meant no insult. I
did not think that you would take it so,"
Hie word were unfortunate. They irri-
tated Leonora even more,
"You .did not think so?" she cried, gaz-
ing reproachfully a,t him. And, pray„ air,
what cause had I 'given you to -to think
that your caresses could be agreeable to
me?"
Ile stood gazing at her in silence.
If he told her the real truth -told her
that the face in the 111agic Mirror :had
fooled him with ite soft eyes and tender
lips, and led him on to the commission of
that impulsive act -she would be more
angry than ever. She would .deny that
her own looks bad tempted him, made a
fool of him. He would nbt stoop to ex•
culpate himself from the :aiger oft
ft one
'so .manifestly unjust.
All the Lancaster pride flushed into hie
face as he etood looking down at her
from his haughty Height, his arms folded
over his broad breast.
"What cause had I given you," she re-
peated, stamping :her little foot angrily
on the earth, "to think that, your cares•
see were agreeable :to mei'

but oho turned her fats reeolutcly from

No, she said, folly; "it is quite unne-

She dragged the good woman away, and
left him eta -tiding there in the ,moonlight,
with a settled shadow upon his face.

when 1 came out to -night to smoke tlhat
solitary cigar that I should meet with
suihh an adventure! How angry she was!

He went back to Lady Adele and his
guests after awhile. The earl's daughter
chided hint because ho had left them for
that odious cigar.
"It was most ungallant!" she declared.
"louied, are mistaken,. I went to consult
that oracle, the Magic Mirror," he re -
Lady Adele had heard the old legend.
She smiled and bridled,
"Did you see your fate?" she asked him,
and he answered, in a strange tone:
"I saw the woman I love in the Magic
MI rror,"
The earl's daugghteu was a little puzzled
by hie reply. She wondered if here was
the face he had Been in the wetter, but
.she dared not put the thought into words.
CHAPTER XXV.
Several days passed away very quietly
after Leonora's first day and night at
Lancaster Park. The ,girl est -eyed in the
small rooms to which she was restricted
quite ae closely as the housekeeper could
have desired. She dill not even offer to
go out seeing to have tacitly resigned
herself to the eituation.
Sho unpacked one 'of her trunks and
showed Mrs. West the sketches she had
'premised to show her; sitetook out all
her pretty, simple -black dresses, and
Slung :them on their pegs in the little
dressing -closet her aunt assigned her.
When she had nothing e'.se, to do she
read or embroidered, Her aunt noted with
pleasure that she was seldom idle.
She did not know of the long hours Leo-
nora spent, when alone, curled up in a
big easy chair, with her milk -white hands
folded in her lap, her eyes half shut, with
the dark lashes drooping •against the
pink cheeks, and a thoughtful, puzzled
expression an the fair -face.
If she had seen her, Mrs. West would
have wondered much what her niece was
thinking about.
In the meantime, the gay life of the
great folks at Lancaster went on from
day to day.
Leonora saw no more of it, steadily de-
clining the well -meant offers of her aunt
to provide her with surreptitious peope
at it.
"I do not care about it," Leonora would
say, with an eloquent glance at her black
dress. "Gayety only jars upon me,
auntie, dear. I should like to go out in
the fresh air re .little; but if I can not do
tlhat, T have no desire for ,the rest.'
But 'Mrs. West, however willing she wait
did not dare advise her niece to go out
into the grounds where the guests might
be encountered at any time, or even old
Lady Lancaster herself,
She knew that Leonora's pretty face,
once seen by the guests, would .excite re•
mark. It had already won the .admira-
tion of the house -maids.
These latter person, having caught oc-
casional glimpses of Leonora in their er.
rands to the housekeeper's room, were
disposed to be very sociable with the fair
American girl; but Mrs. West put au end
to their well -meant cordialities by say'
ing, :gegtdy:
' MLy niece would rather not. be disturb-
ed; she .is in great trouble; she has re-
centloshh.'
Afterly thatt 'theerfatmaiders 014 not court Leo-
nora's society any more. Tbey accepted
her aunt's excuse good-naturedly and
sympathetically, and contented them
selves 11 talking•about her among them-
selves. and praising her beauty, which
they declared to each other was even
greater than that of the young ladies
who 'were sojourning at Lancaster -•great-
er even than that of Lady A;dela East.

Officers Who Started :Heir Military

I.D, .
Career as Privates.
That it is quite possible for a
private
to rise,
step b Y step,
through the British Army, to the
rank of General, we are reminded
by the news of the reoent death of
Sir Luke O'Connor, who was one
of the esarliest rankers to do this.
He enlisted in one of the Welsh
regiments when a young mean, went
through the Crimean War, was
given a 'commission for signal bra-
very and ability, anode a great
name for himself when he was
awarded the newly -created V.G.
for saving bhe colors in action, and
then rose, until. at length his career
was crowned by thiis• being made a
full general and a knight.
But Luke O'Connor was not actu-
ally the first of these noted rankers
who rose to be celebrated generals.
Probably Sir John Eliley could
claim that distinction.
John klley entered the Army by
enlisting as a privates in, the Horse
Guards, and the so won the oanfi-
denoe and commendation of 'his su-
periors that he was given a com-
mission, In the end he became a
"Sir," and a .full general.
The Duke of Wellington looked
on 11 ,
l; e a
S 1
one of his cleverest and
�
most reliable men. Indeed, at
Waterloo few of our leaders were
so much trusted and consulted by
Wellington as was General Eltlsey.
Then we might mention Joseph
Biome, who came into the Army
as a little drumnner-boy. He fought
so well in battle, and displayed
such early evidenoe of precocity as
a soldier and leader, that he was
given a lieutenancy, rose quickly to
higher pasts, and ended his inilitary
career by becoming a lieutenant -
general.

family of great .soildiers, for since
his dearth both his son and his
grandson have become generals.
In our own 'days we 'had General
Hector Macdonald, whose tragic
career is too well known to need
revision. Enough to mention here
that IVIacdonald entered a. High-
land regiment, showed hims'e'lf so
brave and able in battle that, when
offered the choice of a V.0. or a
commission, he chose the latter,
and then rose quickly to the
heights he attained during the
South African campaign.
A1:so we must not forget William
McBean, perhaps the greatest rival
"Micky” O'Leary has had samsongst
soldiers of past days as the "one-
man attacker" of an army. At
Lucknow McBean, with his own
hand, killed eleven of the mutineers
in single combat. After receiving a
commission in due course he was
promoted toll he at last 'found him-
self General W. MoRean.
It is characteristic of the cool
way he had of looking at things
that, in response to the congratu-
lations of his captain .at his feat
just described he answered:

was the first Canadian granulated sugar, in
1880, and the first Sugar Cartons in 1912.

Early spring

of ground. An old feed l-ot'rit;h.
'plant food, and very likely in dis-
ease germs, too, can be made a pro
fitable !pasture, and the ibrenkingo
f
blue ground preparing of the seed
bed, and the growing crops may be
a valuable sanitary 'measure.
Of course a good seed bed is an
important factor and when this
made drill in one and a half bush-
els of early oats and barley mixed
half and half. Beardless barley
should be used as some will likely
mature and ripe barley beards are
not good for hog feed. Then follow
illmix-
ture
grass seeder ' ii�:
a cl z sow ng a 1n
ture of four pounds . i)wa1'f Essex
i ape seed, three ,pounds timothy
andeight h pounds oflegume g t p t ds eg seed
per acre.
I have (been using alsike medium
anal .mammoth :clovers but this
spring shall include alfalfa. The
more kinds of legumes suitable for
early sowing the better.
I cover the seed with a " weeder
going crosswise. A light spike
tooth harrow will answer also,.
When the rape is about six inches
high which will be in six to eight
weeks depending on the season and
the time of sowing the hogs may be
turned in. The rape, barley, and
oats will furnish abundant pasture
for about twenty-five shoats per
acre.
Last linin Late Fall.
In the meantime the timothy.
and clovers are growing to sup-
plant the maturing barley and oats
and with the rape will furnish a
well balanced ration, until covered
with snow.
The economy of this plan is only
realized when one finds, as I have
found in every trial, that the' next
year it furnishes the hest meadow
r pasture on the farm.
o
I also found it paid big to divide
this pasture into equal parts so as
to pasture each alternately, at in-
tervals of one or two weeks, and
this can be done cheaply by stretch-
ing 28 inch woven wire, this will.
turn pigs, and with two barbed
wires above will turn all kinds of
stock.
Last year I supplemented such a,
hog pasture with Canada field peas
on an adjoining lot, sowed just as
soon as the frost was out of , the
ground (which was plowed the pre-
vious falI). the hogs having free
access to both lots after the 'bulk of
the peas were ripe.
This lot, enriched by pea vines
and hog voidings, was plowed the
latter part of July, rolled and har-
rowed twice, and the 3rd of Aug-
ust I sowed alfalfa thickly in a seed
bed that suited the factidious tastes
and exclusiveness of this legume.
Alfalfa regards every 'other plant
as an intruder and weed and hence
the necessity for thick seeding is
rich, well prepared ground.
Doable Seeding of Alfalfa.
In this case I used a hand seeder
for sawing the alfalfa, going over
the ground twice to get e mare
even distribution of the seed., using
twelve pounds each time,
I covered it by going over the
ground with a weeder, then cross-
ing, and the thick even stand and
luxuriant growth made last fall
proves the extra seed and work a
good investment,
A good yearly rotation to make
cheap pork from spring pigs in six
to seven months is as follows: A
hug pasture as I have above de-
scribed, a suitable sized patch of
Canada peas which are best suited
for southern sections; .for southern
sections soy' beans and cow peas
can be substituted, and a patch of
sweet corn, an early and a. late
variety separated by a hob fence
when the early variety. is ready to.
pasture, thus prolonging the feed-
ing season and avoiding waste.
I am perfectly confident that.
those who try the above mentioned
plans of making hog pastures will
ibe• entirely pleased with the re-
sults.
