Jeek •\'V siey laughed cynically.
"Miss Norah wouldn't think so," he
retorted. "My dear boy, don't repine.
We roust all bear our lot cheerfully,
whatever it may be. I sympathize tvith
you deeply, deeply; It must be so trying
to .be an earl with ever so many thou-
sands a year; but you must bear your
heavy trouble like a man, you know,
And here's the hansom at last."
Cyril hurried to the door as if he were
going to catch a train and hadn't a
minute to lose. Then he stopped short
and thrust Ms hand into the breast
pixkat of itis beautifully -fitting truck
coat,
"What's the matter? Palpitation of the
heart?" demanded Jack.
"No," said Cyril, gravely pulling out a
long blue envelope. "I was wondering
whether I had forgotten this," and he
tapped it significantly.
"Oh, that's all right. \Vhat you'll for-
get will be the ring—"
"No, I cha'n't," retorted Cyril, and he
took it out gingerly front his waistcoat
pocket. "Come along, conte alone
"Certainly, but allow me to look the

change her mind?"
The church was atilt standing in its
secluded corner, and Norah had not
changed her mind, for aper Cyril had
been pacing up and down the small ves-
try toe ten minutes, while Jack had been
chatting with the clergyman—a young
curate, who really did seem to enjoy the
fun of this strange marriage—Lord and
Lady Ferndale arrived with the bride.
Cyril—and perhaps Jack, too—drought
she had never looked more lovely than
she dill in her simple dress of quiet
gray, her glorious eyes duwneast, her
lips just parted by the quick breaths of
mingled joy and shyness.
For herself she still felt as If she were
moving in sutue strange, delicious
dream, and it was with a star! she heard
the young curate murmur softly "Are

Then Cyril and ?ark walked up to the
altar. and Lord Ferndale drew her arm

While this peetty little ceremony had
been enacting, tho curate had lean got -

"I have dispensed witlt my clerk's ser-

great fuss with the blotting paper.

Cyril wrote his name,

with the ibollMg paper as he turned to

the title she lutd borne, and, bending
down, wrote her own name.
The curate folded the certificate two or
three times.
"Will you—or--" he snid, addressing
Norah., but looking at Cyril.
"Give it to me," he said, quietly, but
with downcast eyes. "I have some pa-
pers of importance here; I'll pin it with
them. It will be sure not to be lost
the," and he took the envelope from
his pocket, inclosed the certificate, and
fastened the envelope securely.
As he chid so he drew a breath of re-
lief, and glaned at Jack, who smiled
sigrdlicanlly, and softly clapped his
,hands.
Then they went hack lo the carriage,
and wore rattled oft to Grosvenor Square,

groom was given by Lord Ferndale, and,
though he did not slake a speech, the
way in which he spoke Norah's name
and looked at her was worth as Jack
declared, "a dozen set orations," and
Cyril's "Thank you, sir; thank you, dear
Lady Ferndale, and you, Jack!" spoken
with a suspicious moisture in his joy -lit
eyes, was pronounced by the saute critic
just a perfect bit of elocution,
All through the meal Lord Ferndale
kept watch and guard over his tongue,
and it was not until Cyril hnd glaiooed
at his watch and said that the time was
gelling short that he said, with a mis-
chievous twinkle in his eye:
"1 suppose you wont inks a very lone
holiday, Mr. Burne? You'll be wanting
to get back to work, eh?"
And Cyril had, w.,e a marked increase
of color, murmured something inaudible,
and hurried Norah out of the room.
She and Lady Ferndale disappeared to-
gether for half un hour, and then they
came down, Norah attired to a travelling
dress and a set of sables which Lady
Ferndale lead produced at the last mo-
ment, Both women were rather red
about the eyes, and Norah clung to her
friend until rho last moment, when
Cyril standing beside the cab door, held
Jack's and Lord l+erndale's hands and
whispered :
"Eietnember! The Court, Thursday
week,"
'T'hen Norah tore herself away, Cyril
put her gently and tenderly Into the cab,
and Jack and Lord Ferndule having !lung
a handful of rice over their nice clothes,
they drove off, lVoruh leaning forward
and waving her hand until the cab turned
the corner and carried them out of sight,
"Well," said Lord Ferndale, with a
smile and a sigh, `There goes the pretLi-

"And the best and warmest -hearted

"God bless them bond" said Lady
Ferndale, with a sob, and she ran in and e
up to ler Own room that she might en -

The two men went to 'he smoking -

Norah was puzzled by his manner, but
kept her promise, and refrained from
asking any questions.
"I should like just what you like to
do," she replied, and, of course, he put
his non round her and kissed her.
They reached the Court, and she was
stricken dumb with surprise at the sight
of the Ferndales and Jack. who, with
Mr. Petherick, were grouped in the hall,
evidently anxiously awaiting their ar-
rival,
"Why, what does it all mean?" she ex-
claimed, as she flew to i.ady, Frrndalei

Thera are many other reasons why the
Chatham Incubator and Brooder outclasses
the setting hen.
Tho hen sots when she is ready. Tho Chat-
ham Incubator lo always ready. By planning
to take air a hatch at the right time, you may
have plenty of broilers to sell when broilers
aro soared and prices at the top notch. If yet
depend ou the het, your chicks will grow to
broilers just when every other hen's chioks are
being marketed, and when the prloo is not so
stiff.
Thelma is a careless mother, often loading her
ohloks amongst wet grass, bushes, and In places
whore rats can confiscate her young.
The Chatham Brooder behaves itself, is a
perfect mother and very rarely loses a chick,
and is not infested with tee.
Altogether, there is absolutely no reasonable
reason for continuing the use of a hon as a

thole noses. Death cones to many hogs
because we deprive them of that inborn
desire to root, find his medicine and re-
store himself to health when sick. Tho
hog knows why ho roots, but we do
not. Careful expeelments have shown
that each bushel of corn fed hogs will
produce on the average about ten
pounds pork. When I nal ready to fat-
ten I divide my hogs into lots of 20 or
25 each. Too many hogs together will
most certainly invite, contagion, 1 keep
my hogs at all seasons in good growing
condition, and it never takes me over
40 clays to have my legs round and
plump and ready for the highest mar-
ket.
There, is no trouble, in putting fat of
a well -kept hog. When I am ready to
fatten I hitch any horses to my feed
grinder and crush and grind 50 bushels
porn, cob and all, into coarse steal. I
put this corn and cob meal in th dry
place in barrel. I fill three or four ex-
tra barrels about half full of this corn
and cob meal. I pour boiling water in-
to these barrels until they are about
puree -fourths full, this water may in -
elude litillc and other slops from the
kitchen. I stir this mixture ,and let 1l
stanch IWO or three days till it begins
to ferment. This process will soon fill

a feverish condition of the hogs' bowels,
hastens digestion, gives the hog a good
appetite, pr'oaotes health and puts on
fat and flesh with exceeding rapidity.

n i,
40 days from the lino 1 begin this soci-
etal fooling my hogs ,are ready to sell
and I find I have used eight bushels
corn for each hog, and each hog gained
on an average 100 pounds 111 the 40
days. Now let us count the profit; 50
hogs gabled 5,000 pounds, at 5 cents per
pound is $400; 400 bushels corn 45 cents
per bushel is 5180, leavhig a net gain
of $220. To these figures add 7,000
pounds, the weight before fattening, and
you will have the 10101 valuation.
I make six sales of this kind a year.
With 15 brood sows and ono mato I
cleared last year $2,270 on my hogs and
don't call myself nn extensive hog rais-
er. I did this last year and bought
2,400 bushels of corn to fatten the hogs.
I find that, I fatten in about half tiro time
and with about half the feed of my
neighbors. This Is actual experience and
not theory. 1 always keep on hand
plenty of pigs and sltoles to servo my
purpose. This necessitates the keeping
of About 15 breed sows and a good vig-
orolts male. Whenever I am over-
stocked with pigs I easily dispose of
them at wreaniug time at $1 each, I
never sell en ear of corn; I feed all to
the hogs and other stock. Farm pro-
duce fed to stook increases the not in-
come at least one-fourth. 1' always keep
on friendly herons with my sows and
give 1110011 proper care anci treatment.
As a result, I finch• there the most pro-
fitable investment on the farm.
