Guildford Berton staggered slightly, then with his eyes still fixed on Cyril and Norah, who were leaning over the terrace in vain trying to shako the hands eagerly thrust up to them, he backed away, slowly for a time; then, as he got Into the densest part of the crowd, ho turned and forced his way through the people with a desperate haste, even striking at them in a fren- zied, furious fashion, Some shrank back, others struck at him in return and swore at him, but with leis head bent down he made a lana for himself, and reached the edge of the crowd, With the ur!rerlaln staggering steps of a drunken man he went down the ane and entered the cottage, Ile had lett no light In the room; the fire bad died out; all was dark. Before he struck a metal he felt This way to the sideboard, found a brandy decanter, and, with trembling hands, poured out a glassful and drank R. Then, with a cry, as If the spirits had given him power to realize the truth, he flung his hands above this head and cursed Cyril, and even Nevelt herself. As' he was raving, in the very midst of the awful stream of profanity, he slopped short suddenly and listened. What he heard was only the distant sound of Ilhe crowd, but to his ears it took to itself the likeness of a wail, a cry from a woman, and, with a shudder, he cowered against the sideboard, and looked over his shoulder with an ex- pression of sickening tear and dread an his white face, for once again he seemed to see that vague. indefinable shade which bore the faint outlines of the murdered woman, and which had haunted him now and again whenever he was over -tried or excited. For a moment—that might have been a year— he stood cowering, bent almost double; then the expression of his face changed to one of sinister cunning, and, still looking behind him and moving his lips, though no words came, he stole on tip- toe toward the cupboard. Three hours Iater Cyril and 'Jack stood together in the drawing -room. Lady and Norah had gone upstairs, presum- ably to bed, but really to sit and talk of the wonderful events of the day, and Lord Ferndale, declaring that he must have a quiet cigar after alt the excite• ment, had taken Mr. Petherick to the smoking -room. The two friends stood looking at each other for amoment, then Cyril held out his hand. "1 wish I could .tell you how I feel to- night, Jack;" he said; "how happy 1 am, how grateful to you all, to you and the Forndales, and all these good people, with their simple, warm-hearted welcome. Please God, I will be worthy of their love, and keep its But my darl- ing won't find it difficult to do that, will she? Jack, .I ask myself as I stand here tldnking of the great good luck which has fallen to me, why I, of all men, should have been so fortunate and so blessed, and—and, Jack, it almost frightens mel I can only say, from the bottom of my heart, that 1 am grateful— very, very gratefull--and, thank God, can add that I an at peace with all men.' "Even Guildford. Berton?" said Jack, q Cyril started, and a look of pain crossed his face. "Jack, I had forgotten him," the said, simply. "That's only natural," rejoined Jack, "Bet I haven't, and as I have interfered so much in your affairs, you'd better let dee finish up by disposing of that in- genious gentleman," and he began but- toning up his coat. "What are you going to do?" asked Cyrtl, gravely. "I'm going to call upon Mr. Berton. "To -night!

"Yes," said Jack, quietly and grimly, "I only want to ask Mr. Berton ane question, and 1 intend to have the an- swer. Thal question is, 'Where Is Becen South?' If that answer is satisfactory 1 should say ynu had better let Mr. Guild. ford Berton depart in peace." "In Heaven's name, yl;sl" responded Cyril. "1 don't know that Heaven will have nmeh to do with it." rejoined Jack, go- ing into the hall and asking for lila coat and hat, "Bring mine, too," said Cyril, quietly, to the footman. "You mean to go with mc?" asked Jack. "Can you esti me, my dear fellow?" "Then Ferndale and Petllerlak shall go also," said Jack, and Ile went into! the smoking -room and informed ingm I of his. purpose.

A strange, pungent smell came out to meet them, and almost stilled them. Cyril, with a foreboding of something evil, remembered 1L.

They raised him, and Jaok lore open his cellar, and laid a hand upon Itis heart, Then he halted around at the rest, and spoke lire one dread word : "Dead!" For a moment or two they stood speechless and awestrnk; Then, with compressed lips, .lack opened the dead man's coat, and took from the pocitet some letters. Cyril bent forward. "They are nine," he said, almost tl- audibly. Jack handed them to him, and as he took them something fell on the floor. Tack picked It up, and Cyril with a shud- der, exolalmed: "My ring! the ring I gave Recce! And —my God, Jackl—and here is the letter I wrote that night at Ella fete and gat'e to her!" and he covered his face with his hands. Jack rose. "1 shall get my answer after all," he said. ";Light that lantern, Ferndale." In awestruck silence, but with a fever- ish eagerness and dread, they searched the grim plane from room to room; then, after a mon-tears thought, Jack led the way to the garden, followed by the trembling old woman uttering inarticu- late cries of terror. Tack stepped before the heap of leaves and stooped down. "Get me a spade, some one!" he said, hoarsely. Lord Ferndale brought 000, and they stood, round while Jack worked. A suspense of a few minutes that seemed ages, and then they heard his voice, solemn as a knell: "I have found the answer; it is herot" Two years later the artistic world was thrown into a state of excitement by a certain picture in the Academy exhibi- tion of that season. It was a landscape—a small one, but with two figures, a lady and a child. The lady was seated under an apple tree in a most delightful orchard, and the child was lying on lis back, vainly endeavoring to bite an apple at least three Limes .the size of its mouth. It was so fresh In treatment, so deli- cately painted, that the connoisseurs were unanimous In their approbatfons and praise, but the general public, who know little and care less for compost Lions were quite content with being charmed by the exquisite beauty of the mother and the delightfully lifelike youngster. It was tate picture of the year, and it was found necessary le place before it the protecting rail and policemen which only appear before the great event of the exhibition. Critics praised it, the papers rhapsodized it, the public crowded to see it, and for some days atter that on which tato ex- hibition opened everybody wan asking who and what the painter was, for the name In the catalogue was evidently an assumed one, and told netting. The mystery only heightened the pub- lic and artistic curiosity and interest, and at dinner parties and In the pauses of the dance one heard people saylrtg to each other: "Have you seen the mother and child In the appleorchard ? Splendid, Isn't it? Wonder who on earth the man is?" The secret was very well kept --for nearly e. month. At 1110 end of that lime, however, the veil was lifted, for a famous critic, who was sharper tllau his fellows, happened to vls11 the gal- lery one afternoon, and found Ute popu- lar Countess of Arrowdale standing be- fore it. As he looked flint at the picture and then at her she happened to smile. Now. the mother was not a portrait of Norab, but Cyril had perhaps uncon- sciously bestowed upon the painted face a reflection, a hint of the smile which was one of the charms with which Norah worked her spells, and the critic, divined the truth. "Lady Arrowdale," he snld, growing red with the excitement of his discov- ery, "your husband painted that pie - Lure." "Oh, please don't tell. It was to be a secret., and -and we have kept it so well 1" "Yes, you have," returned the elite, who, of course, meant to rush off as soon as he could and proclaim his im- portant find. "Yes, Indeed, you have. I know Lord Arrowdele's pictures pretty well, 1 think, but., though they are good, as I've said very often. they ere nothing compared with this. It is such a sad- den jump. How do you account for it, Lndy Arrowdale?" Norah smiled, and looked at Iiia pit,• tore in silence, but some one spoke tot FIJIAN SAW HIS MAJESTY ISLAND CHEF'S DESCRIPTION OF PARLIAMENT OPENING. After Ceremony Ile lies a Sumptuous Feast at a Restaurant in the City. A Milan who witnessed the opening of the British Parliament by the King wrote a most interesting account of his expert - (ewes for his native paper, Na ivlate, a translalion of which is given in the London Spectator. First he deals evilh tire causes which gave rise to the state opening. "Parliament had been considering fur a long time and divided councils had arisen," he writes, "and it seemed to the Icing that its reports to him were wav- ering, and that what it desired was not the desire of the people of Lite land. do he decided that it should be dismissed." 'Clhen he discourses upon the "chlaflike bey, who is very good-natured to us Fijians, the one who fed us with crabs and gave Eta pipes,"'rills "bay" got a "must useful dotter" from the -Police, which "preventers the people of the land from crowding us, so that wo might well Inc the King."

We know Elle future only by what the past has been. The (hollers are that in the iocalities whel'e there has been two or three seasons of excessive moisture that 11 will get buck to normal, or even the opposite extreme. Except, cu farms where the soil is very reten- tive and not properly trailed, It is al- ways safe to save moisture for font that it will be short next, surmner. When the snow melts and spring rain seems to soak tine ground many feel deep it is almost Impossible to got some farmers to see that there ever will be a time in July or August, when the crops will wither and the ground crack open. The way to check out moisture from the lank next summer is to chock it getting out when spring coshes. Plow early and keep the Melds worked mellow and mots - Lure cannot evaporate as fust as when left unplowed. It has beers estimated That an oat crop uses 522 tons or 6.10 inches of water In produce one Ion of dry matter, corn uses 30e tons or 2.64 inches, potatoes uses 422 tons or 3.73 inches and red clover 452 tons or 4 inches of wider to pro- duce one ton of dry matter, Tent Is to say that so much water goes into the ;dams to grow teem or is lost from the soil by evaporation or percolation while (he plants are making that growth. The greatest amount a plant needs is during the warm weather when, too, the great- est evaporation takes place—and `that usually is the time when rain fall 16 the least. So it stands to reason that totter crops can be grown If the far- mer can prevent a waste of moisture: to a time when tt seems superabund- ant. Late fall plowing has a tendency to save moisture because it loosens the sur- face soil so that the snow and spring rains can soak down into rho earth in- stead of running off. Prof. King 'state,s that he has found that fall plowed lend held nearly 2.5 per cent more water tuan unplowed land adjacent, the test being taken in the spring. Neither field had received any cultivation up to May 14th. 'Phis means that about six pounds of water per square foot had silently and unnoticeably left the un - rimed fiord. In this case 13.5 tons of water per acre were lost. If the fall plowed field had been dlscod early in the aprtng and cultivation continued until May 14th, the difference would have been a great deal more than 13 tons of water per acre between the fall plowed and the unplowed fields. When early spring plowing is com- pared with lata plowing a similar dif- ference is seen In the water content of the soil. So then, to order to have a supply of moisture in the dry spell of summer 1t must be saved early in the spring. Plow en early as you can without spoiling the texture of the soil. It will not pay to work in the mud for the injury to the soil is greater than rho benefit. Then keep the surface diseed or harrowed after each heavy rain and you will score away tons of wafer for future use that will surely evaporate unless checked In this manner. POULTRY NOTES. Eggs for hatching should be fresh — fr'esller the better. Nov is the time to get the incubator. Get the order off to -day. liens should receive plenty of exer- cise when laying the eggs you intend to set. Long feeding period is safer than short with too rapid Increase in feed amounts. Don't he afraid of getting hens leo fat as long as they have plenty of exer- cise. If a chick is allowed to stop grow- ing it will take a long Limo to get it slatted again. o Don't put all your eggs In your bas- net"—put most of them in an incubator at this. time of the year. . Put fresh straw m the nest boxes every week. This helps to keep mites from becoming numerous. A bob -tailed pullet on a rickety hen most is a sura indication that there is no money in poultry. The eggs for latching should be only those from well-developed, full grown pullets or from vigorous hens. Feed the hens' roosters well on a va- riety of nitrogenous foods during mat- ing so as to secure strong fertile eggs. Eggs for hatching should not be chill- ed. Keep In a cool, even temperature and turn daily if they must be kept a few days. Mate the hens with a fail -blooded cock et merit. A trap -nested bird is tato most valuable. Be sure he has no phy- steal deformities. Early -hatched ohlcks will got a good start before hot weather and be better able to combat lice. The incubator is the thing for early hatches. Mate your best stock a few days be- fore selecting eggs for selling and you will be more safe of getting fertile eggs, and of the desired elating. Are the chicks doing as well and the hens laying as many eggs as you rea- sonably expect they should. If not, examine them for lice and the roosting places for Mlles, Chances are that yoga will find some.

Caro Which is Taken to Safeguard the Treasure. The captain of one of the big Irani - Atlantic • liners which carries in its strong room millions of gold a year, while recently discussing the subject with a reporter, said : "After the gold, worth perhaps half a million or a million, and which Is pack- ed in solid wood boxes, strengthened with enormous bands of iron, has been placed in the bullion room, access :0 which 1s only obtained through the flooring of the saloon, I sign the receipt, and then become responsible for its safely.

OLD ACE PENSIONS. • i1 m for Provision for Old Age Scheme e 0 Made by Great Firm. So little is heerd to -day in England of Mr. Chamberlain's proposals on the subject of old age pensions (bat it is doubly relreshtng to shear that Cadbury Bros., Limited, in Connection with their cocoa works at Bournvillo, near Bir- mingham, have now made definite ar- rangements for the eslablishmont of a pension fund for the benefll of uncle male employes, The fund will be supported by contri- butions by the employes varying from 21js' to 5 per cent. of their wages, and the company will pay .10 the fund eontrtbw lions of an equal amount, Pensions ore to become 'payable at the ago of sixty, except In cases where arrangements are hnade for an employe to remain 10 the service of the company atter penslon age.

The company propose 10 inaugurate the fund by undertaking to pay over to it the stun of £90,000. IL Is believed that this capital sum will be sufficient do entitle all the exisling scale employes to pension bandits fn respeot of half of their period of service with the company up to the present time, without dirty pay- ment from employes for such periods of servlco. If an employe leaves the company's service before attaining pension ago the will have returned to him all his own contributions, with compound interest at 2ee par cent. Similarly, if a pensioner Wes before receiving in pensions an amount equal to his own contributions with 2 e pee cent. compound interest, the balance wilt be paid to his repre- sentatives.

Malnutrition in children, which, rt (curse, is to be considered a condition tallage than u disease, may usually he traced to one of three causes, Occasion. ally, although rarely, It is an inherited tendency. The children of feeble par- ents may Inherit a general weakness of constitution, and exhibit that weaknose chiefly in thele digestive processes. But sometimes this inheritance is only ap- parent, since a nervous and unstable mother may road on her children for ill, oven If they do not inherit her ten- dencies, by excesses and uncertainty Ith her system of bringing up. Another and very frequent cause of mainulriton in the young is improper feeding. In babies it often results from some orror In siarldug the diet, especially le a'Liflolatly fed Intents.

An overfed child will suffer from poor nour- ishment quite as much and often more than an underfed one. The danger is not so much from an occasional overhearty meal, although that is a great mistake. An indiereetton that results in an acute attain of indi- gention mods with the punishment that fits the crime; the offending matters are curried off from the system, and the transaction Is closed, to say nothing of the fact that a salutary lesson has been given, which the parents may rrenlenh• bar next green -apple -season if the boy forgets. But the clanger of malnutri- (tion lies In the constant giving of a 1,1- 1'' more food than the system needs, causing fermentation, restlessness and clisconlort, and insulting in such low- ering of the general condition that ac- tual slow starvation may result, because the child is unable to digest enough food to teed it. A third cause of malnutrition in chil- dren, and one which is to be Looked for chiefly among the poorer people and in tenements, is u want of proper ventila- tion. Rooms aro too hot and too crowd- ed, or loo cool and loo crowded, win- dows are seldom or never opened, and plumbing is often detective.
