When they entered the room Howard
Murpoint introduced Mr. Smythe to the
earl and then oroceeded to businees,
He said that Mr, Smythe had been
anxiaus to see the earl a,s one of tlae
directors of a emtain mining company,
to ask a few catestioes.
The earl admitta I that he Was on the
board of directora %ea answered, the
questions, or rather the captain an-
swered them for him.
Then Mr. Smythe announced les in-
tention of becomhvg a director, andin-
i
eidentally mentioned that he \ramie, f
there was any occasion for it, purchase
the mine.
Ws made the earl stare, as the cap-
tein had inteuded that it should; and
when Mr. Symthe rose to take his leave,
Lackla.nd's adieu was a great deal more
cordial than his greeting.
When the rich Mr, Smythe had gone
the captain eyed his dupe warily.
"A nice young fellow," he said.
"Very," said the earl, aA good bed -
nos man, I have no doubt."
"Immensely rich," said the captain—
"immensely. I wonder if the cauntess
would obliue me by sending him a card
for ber next ball? I should take it as a
personal favor."
"I am sure the countess would only
be too delighted," he mid. "But are you
sure that Mr. Smythe would care to
coins?"
"I am certain. that he would," said
tho captain. "Indeed, he was speaking
of it only this morning. Poor fellow,
he has become infatuated with the
beauty of Lady 13oisdale!"
The earl was almost guilty of a start.
"Indeed!" he said. "I am sure we are
very mueli flattered by Mr. Smythe's
preference. It is a pity we did not know
him. Unfortunately there is no chance
of his wishes being fulfilled. I have
this morning promised the hand of Ethel
to Mr. Fairfax."
"To Mr. Fairfax!" echoed the captain,
with as much polite astonishment and
disgust in bie voice as if the earl had
said "His Satanic Majesty," "To Mr.
Fairfax !"
"Yes," said the earl. "Mr. Fairfax
tailed hem this morning, just befere you
came, and pressed his suit so earnestly
that I yielded and gave my consent—a
very reluctant consent, I must confess,"
"Write a letter to him recalling your
consent."
"impossible," said the earl.
"Why ao?" inquired Mr. Murpoint.
"My word has been given, and if I
were to break it I would bo cut by
every man in London. I dared not show
my fate in a single club."
"Itis very unfortunate," said tae
capain “more unfortunate than
you ea,n imagine, for I have not told you
sivt,
"All?' 'inquired the earl. "What else
is there to tell?"
"Mr. Smythe is a determined man,"
said the captain, quietly, "and he assur-
ed me this morning that if he did not
get your consent to his suit he should
to extremities."
"Extremities! what do you mean?"
"Simply this: that he will buy up
the mortgenes and the numerous bills
which you have given, and come down
on you like a bawk. fie is n most de-
termined young man. He will sell Lack -
land Hall and everything you possess,
as sure as you stand there."
"He cannot," said the earl with a
smile. "I can make arrangements with
my creditors. I can purchase the bills,
raise the money, pay off the debts."
"I am afraid not,"- said the captain.
"Because, you see, the bills are all in my
hands."
"Your hands?" exclaimed Lord Lack -
land.
"Yes, mine," answered the captain soft-
ly, and with the sweetest smile. "It is
very unfortunate! I promised this wor-
thy young man that I would use my
influence with your lordship to gain your
consent. I gave my word of honor, and
if / were to break it I should be cut
by every man in London, and should not
be able to enter a single club."
As he used the owl's own words, and
smiled Ids soft, deadly smile, the earl
Plank into a chair and gasped for
breath.
"Are you a man or a fiend?" he
breathed.
"I am simply a man of business," said
Mr. Murpoint, 'and a man of my word."
"What am I to do? I am in your
power!"
"Write a letter to Mr, Fairfax and
tell him that you eannot consent, that
• you rescind the promise you gave this
morning."
The captain stood over him, quite the
master of the situation and dictated.
• "Dear Sir; I regret that circum-
stances have occurred which compel me,
on consideration, to recall the consent
which I reluctantly gave you this morn-
ing.' 1 must beg of you to believe that
/ am obliged. by the force of cireum-
games to rescind that remise, and
that I am strengthened in arty resolu-
tion to refuse you the hand of my
daughter by the countess, who is strong-
ly opposed to any engagement taking
place between you. If you have already
seen Lady Bloisdale and acquainted her
with your hopes and wishes, I must beg
that you will, by writing, inforrn her
that all engagements between you must
cease, and that yon are compelled in
honor to refrain from prosecuting your
suit. With regret I have arrived at
this decision, and sign myself most sin-
cerely your well-wisher,
Lackland.
"P. S.—It -would be As well, perhaps,
if you could make arrangements to leave
London for a time. If it shiyald be in-
convenient to you to do so, I will re-
move Lady Boisdale to one of my places
in the country."
This letter was written and signed by
the earl,
It was cerried by a tervatit to the
Temple, and it was read by our friend,
Bertie, as we have seen.
Its effect upon hirn was beyond all
description.

Leieeeter.
"Come far, sir?" he said, opening up
a conversation.

py, who interpreted the sentence, an re-
plied, in brolsen English:
"No, not far; from London."
The he commenced to talk of fine
houses and big fees, and somehowdrew
told off, and without a moment's hesi-
tation they seized the nemesary ropes
and commenced the perilous task.
Leieeeter expected every moment that
he and his comrade in danger woul4 be
blown or buffeted overboard, and so
kept a keen lookout for Stumpy and
grasped a spar upon which he knelt,
with the determination of an already
drowning man.
The result showed hat his fear were
well grounded.
Suddenly he missed from his side the
small but courageous form of hie com-
rade.
Stumpy had succumbed to the last
billow.
With a shout of "A man overboard!"
he hung over the side and peered into
the heaving deep.
Grasping the bar in both hands Lei-
cester rose to his full height, and, amid
a roar of warning and excitement from
the crew, leaped into the sea.
The drowning man was very nearly
finished by Leicester's well meant ef-
fort at rescue, for the spar just missed
his head by a foot.
.As it was, however, he seized it with
a convulsive grip, and the two men
were once more together.
For a few moments the ship was lost
to them.
They were pitched up and down, back-
ward and forward, the2rain cutting their
faces, and the cold numbing their hands.
Then it was that Leicester hit upon a
means of Becurine them to the spar.
The rope wbich had been fastened to
his waist still bung there, and. he man-
aged, by dint of sheer force, to drag, it
up, and drop it over the spar once or
twice, at each turn passing it round the
armpit of Stumpy or himself.
Ily this means they were completely
entangled, and in a rough fashion lashed
to the long piece of wood. in which all
their hopes of life rested.
Dawn broke at last, nnd the storm
subsided: but long before then they
were half unconscious and wholly numb-
ed.
When Leicester came to he found
himself lying on his back, and the
weather-beaten face of Stumpy over
him.
He smiled, and the man groaned back
in reply; but for quite an hour po
words were spoken.
At the end of that time, when they
had almost recovered from the exhaus-
tion, Leicester struggled to his feet and
approached Stumpy, who was sitting,
hugging his knees, at a little distance
on the beach.
"Come," he said. "We are safe,
thank heaven! Cheer upl We must
move on."
The man rose and looked at himebut
although he nodded his head in assent
he made no allusion to their late peril
or made any attempt to thank hie pre-
server.
They scrambled up the beach for
some little distance, then Stumpy stop-
ped.
"It's no use of my going any farther,
sir; I can't, indeed."
Leicester, fully appreciating the "sir"
by which the man addressed him, Astared
in astonishment.
"Why not, man? We must go on!
Why should you be afraid to go on?
This is Ireland, you say. Do you fear
anything from the people on the coast?
Ala. I forgot!" he added, as the remem-
brance ot his companion's. occupation
flashed on him. "You fear the coast-
guard."
"That's it," said Stuamy. "I should
be in good in half an hour.'
"But how should they know you?"
asked Leicester. "You need not pro-
claim yourself."
"No need for that, sir," said Stumpy,
with a grin. "Look here," and he pulled
up the bottom of his trousers and show-
ed Leicester a mark branded upon his
leg.
. "You are a convict!" he said.
"That's it, sir; I am," said Stumpy,
"and, what' more, I haven't served my
time. That's the mark of the chain -
gang, and it will never come out. The
first thing the guard will ask will be
'Show lie your leg, mate,' and then
where am I?"
lLeicester thought for a moment deep -
y.
"All right," he said. "I've hit upon it.
You get into that cave there, and I'll
hasten up and hunt out some people.
I ean get some provisions, and will not
be here until dark. We can creep away
then and gain one of the towns."
So, without waiting for any more ob-
jections or refusals, he hurried up the
beach.
When it grew dark the two stole
along the beach, and entered a village
some miles farther along the coast than
that against which they had been east
Up.
Leicester had a. little money with him
sown in his canvas belt, and Stumpy,
having received his wages on the day
of the storm, was similarly supplied,
By dint of great economy and care-
fulness they reached Paris uninterfered
with, and here Leicester, without loss
of time, commenced to put his plans in-
to execution.
At a broker's shop he purebased a
capital wig of white, or rather iron -gray
hair, investea in a pair of broad rim-
med spectacles at an optician's, and
purchased. at a ready-made tailor's a
eta befitting an elderly foreigner of
modest means.
Stumpy was aecommodated with de-
cent clothes, hie long black locks well
oiled and combed, and a Small pail of

to aceustom themselves to their disguis-

Leicester toe& ticket, eeeoed class,

They arrived at night, andboldly de-
termined to put their disguises to the
test.
Leicester marched sleatqy down to the
"Blue Lion," Stumpy walking at his
aide and tarrying a small valise.
"Can we have something to eat and
to drink?". asked Stumpy, in broken
English.
Martha nodded irritably and waved
her hand toward the parlor.
The two entered.
Leicester looked round the room and
seated himself in A distant corns

ily enough for Leicester, who hoped day
by day for opportunity for tamp.
In spite of all efforts to keep the
veeeel from goieg coaetward the schoon-
er gradually but surely drifted toward
line of reefs, aud the strain was so
from Job the story of the murder of
Starling and the fact that most of the
people concerned in the tragedy had
gone away.

"No," said the man shaking his hesal.

After a few words with Leicester, who
was known its Signor Edgard°, Stumpy
asked if they could have a bed.
Martha anlrwered ithortly and decis-
ively:
"Not I haven't got Wry beds to
Sparc."
Stumpy inquired where he could get
one. •
"Here, Will," said the talkative fish-
erman, shaking Willie Sanderson who
had been asleep, "Can's you let this
gentleman and, hut Man have a couple of
bede?"
Willie rubbed hih eyes and nodded.
"I dare say," he said, staring about
him.
Then the signor rose, bowed all round,
and took his leave, followed by Stumpy,
with Willie Sanderson to lead the way.
Slowly they tramped down to the
Sanderson's cottage,
Willie opened the door and beckoned
to the visitors to enter.

CHAPTER XXV.
For the first two moments Bertie's
sensations on reading Lord Lad:Ian-Ws
letter were anything but distinct, then
gradually, as he realized the blow which
the earl's letter had dealt him, indigna-
tion predominated.
He had been basely deceived and be-
trayed, and Ills betrayal was rendered
all the more bitter by the foretaste
which he hd.d bon allowed to have of
his happiness.
He wandered listlessly down to his
club.
In the emokineberoorn, to which he re-
paired, he fonndFitz extended at full
length, sippirg a brandy and oda.
Ifa determined on the spur of the mo-
ment to confide in him.
He told Fitz of his acceptance by his
father, and then, of the refusal which
he had just received. Fitz, indignant at
the treetment received by his otd churn,
advised an elopement, not on)' KIDC•
tioning it, but offering to act as aid in
the affair.
• •
That night Ethel was taken to
Coombe Lodge, and Bertie, who had
called at Grosvenor aquare, was told
that the family bad left town.
Meanwhile Fitz remained and the cnn-
vereation lie had with Bettie had nerv-
ed him to courage.
They Gay that one marriage makes
nine by example, and Fitz, cecina that
Bertie had been brave enough Co de-
clare his love, determined to do so also.
That night there was another conver-
sazione at Lady Merivale's, and Fitz
knew that the Mildmays would be
guests.
He had an invitation, and he deter-
mined to go, though such things were
not in his way: hoping to find an op-
portunity of declaring, his long love for
Violet.
The night was hot, and Fitz felt burn-
ing uneasiness and fear, for he feared
Violet as much as he loved her,
He knew whin his heart of hearta
that she was too good for bim, yet he
could not deny himself the .pleasure or
painst. of putting the matter to the
t e
Lady Merivalc'e rooms were not too
crowded. Her ladyship had mercifully
asked no more than her rooms would
hold, and Fitz, as he entered rather
early in the evening, could 6C0 that the
Mildma,yee party had not arrived.
"Just my ,luck," he murmured. "Of
course, now I've plucked up courage, she
won't come. Serve ane right. I know
ehe'e far too precious for me."
He sauntered to a corner and sat
down beside an Italian, who had a aer-
ies of sketches to ehow and tried to
get poor Fitz to speak to him.
But the Italian only knew "Yes," mad
"No," in English, and Fitz only knew
"Macaroni" in Italian, so thus the con-
versation did not afford rnueh amuse-
ment to either party.
Presently. as the rooms grew fuller,
a tall gentleman -with white hair and
wearing spectacles approached the two,
and bowing to the Italian, asked permis-
sion to see the sketcbes.
Be spOke in Spanish, a language ass
strange to Fitz as Italian, se after a
few minutes, Fitz rose and left the It -

LESSON OF THE ARMY WORM.
(Guelph Herald)
The resoureefulnesa of the army worms
Is interesting, even if it is not appreciated
by those who are trying to exterminate
tne pest, In order to proceed straight in
the direction they are going it Is said the
army worm will crawl up the sides of
a house, but if this is impossible he will
execute .a flank movement In order to
get around. This he appears to be do-
ing at the College. The worms are now
found further southward. The, deep fur -
Tors have evldentally dismayed thorn, and
so now they execute a slight flank man-
oeuvre, which they, no doubt, hope to
make so as to accomplish the purpuse
they have in view.
There's a leason In persistency and
perseverance for you. It may be a low-
ly illustratien, but man may well learn in
his migration through life that keeping
steadily, but steadfastedly to a firm pur-
pose often meets with its reward. We
may. fail Into the ditch, but many either
get over or around them, and so on to
the goal whither we have set our faces.

Home -Made Barometer.
Those who love experimetttation
may try the following method of Mak-
ing a cheap barometer practised in
France: Take eight grams of pulver-
ized nitrate of potassium, two grams
of pulverized nitrate of ammonia and
dissolve in sixty grams of alcohol. Put
the whole in a long, slender bottle
closed at the top with a piece of blad-
der containing aa. Pinhole to admit the
air. When ram is coming the gelid
partieles will tend gradually to mount,
little star crystals forming in the liq-
uid, 'which otherwise remains clear, If
high winds are approaching the liquid
will become thick, ate if fermentint
while a film of solid particles forms
on the surface. During fair weather the
liquid will retaain clear and the solid
particles will rest at the bottom.
The Department el EutoMologY of
the Ontario Agricultural College,
Quelph, hoe sent out the following
cireular on the beat control, measures
to take:
The army worm is a stout, so:Moth-
bodied caterpillar, blackish or brown-
ish in color, with two Yellowish
Stripes, tinged 'with red, along eaeb
eide. When full grown it is aboat 1.%
inches long, The adult is a moth
which lays her eggs chiefly on grass
in low land. The caterpillars them-
selves never lay eggs Pr produce liv-
ing young. The favorite food plants
are grasses, timothy, oats, corn and
millet. When food becomes scarce the
worms MOTO in enormous numbers in
search of new feeding grounes.
As the pest is being reported from
numerous counties, every firmer
should examine his fields from time
to time to see if they are being at-
tacked. If the insects have become
distributed all over the field before be-
ing noticed, the wisest course will be
to cut the crop at once if it is UM-
ottly or grain and cure for hay, but if
It is corn, scatter lightly through the
field a poison mixture, made of one
pound of Faris green mixed thorough-
ly in 25 pounds of bran, and then
moisten with water sweetened with
molasses. Make the mixture just
moist enough to fall through tho fing-
ers like sawdust—not sloppy.
If the crop is threatened or attacked
only in part, dig a trench immediate-
ly in front of where the worms are.
In the case where the crop is attack-
ed, it will be found advisable to cut
a swath through the grain, and rake
this off before the trench is dug. The
trench is often unsatisfactory, eepeci-
ally in clay soil, if it is not properly
made. It should be at least 18 inches
deep, in clay soil, with a straight clean
side towards the crop to be protected.
Post -holes at least a foot in depth
must be sunk every 15 feet in the bot-
tom of the trench. In sandy soil the
trench works excellently, but in clty
soil it is often advisable as an extra
precaution to heap up the loose earth
on the crop side right along the
trench. The small particles of earth
loosen and cause the climbing worms
to drop. Hence in slay or much soil
It may be advisable to scratch the
face of the wall with a garden rake.
Do this also after rain. When the
worms are unable to climb the wall
they will pass lengthwise through the
trench, and collect in the post -boles,
where they may be killed by crushing
or other means. In digging the trench
plows may be used, but the balance
of the work should be done with
spades to insure a clean deep trench.
Wherever the worms aro found,
prompt actien is very important.

"In the early evening," writes an
Englishman, "Hamel took me up in
his monoplane for a little fling upside
down. .1 was duly strapped in the
machine just behind the pilot. We
rose to about 500 feet and made one
or two very steeply banked turns.
Hamel turned round and inquired if I
was ready. Then he dipped the head
of the macnine, but not at an angle
In the least unusual.
"Almost immediately, however, he
headed upward, and in a thrice 1
found myself looking over his shoulder
at midheaven. It was then that a
curious and unpleasant, but only mom-
entary, feeling of being stifled was
experienced. I do not know the cause.
It went away when the machine—
atilt upside clown—had passed the
top of the loop, and I could see mother
earth again. There was not at any
point the slightest straining at the
shoulder straps.
"Looking at the map -like country
below the aerodrome, with its thous-

liberately, enjoyable. No doubt, as
soon as the novelty passed one would

ordinary flying. To me it was enjoy-

the end of the loop the engine stops,

At the end of each loop the aeroplane
plunged down almoet vertically, and
this, but for perfect confidence in. the

a feeling of regret when the machine
is broguht to a level keel again."—

pint of water until it spins a thread
when allowed to drip from a fork. Add
juice of any small fruit in proportion
be one quart of juice to one pint of
syrup. Boil together seven minues,
bottle and seat.
Cherries must first be pitted. Then
allow to steed ten hours in cool place,
add to simple syrup in proportions
given, heat and seal.
Mix currants with twice as many
raspberries, crush, allow to stane four

ractory Returns fillow Wit Dif-
ferences in Their Value,
During April and May .ts, great many
poor cows have been milking, giving,
in sorne eases, only SOO pounds ot milk
awl 17 peumis et fat In the MOist11;
wine have contented themselves with
prodtkring eyen, less than this.
One wonders if the owners of Bach
cows are contented with records like
that, and if the owners of the various
factories concerned aro content to
Ict their plants be run With such, poor
support.
It is a coramon occurrence to find
groups of 50 and 100 cows at a fac-
tory giving on. the average 300 pounds
of milk more than similar groups sup-
plying the same factory.
Sainsesing a factory is supported by
only 200 eows, it should thus be com-
paratively easy to bave an extra $3•600
flowing through it in six months to
the patrons if they bad better COWS.
Teat is a good "six months' hoist."
The factory management is there-
fore directly interested in recommend-
ing cow testing to the patrons, and in
providing for its operatien. Some of
the good records received at the Dairy
Division, Ottawa, (where full informa-
tion may be obtained about cow taet-
ing) for April and May, are:, 90 cows
at Ayer's Cliff, Que., with an average
of 25 pounds of fat, 85 cows at At-
wood, Ont., with 30 pounds of fat, 53
at Wallace, Ont., giving 1,005 pounds
of milk and 32 pounds of fat. Three
grade cows at Cornwall, Ont., averag-
ed 40 pounds of fat, and a five-year-
old grade at Peterboro, Ont., gave 1,-
690 pounds of milk and 62 pounds of
fat. This cow gave more than four
'times as much fat as many poor cows
