For he had never before seen that side of hie flancee's cluusacter, and, menlike, 00 little believed In female pettiness, that, at its appearance, he was more Lilian horrified. T.herefore he showed Ms displeasure Mainly the whole evening, and Eileen, heart -sore and somewhat ashamed of 'herself, took refuge In a silence loom which no one could rouse her but Lord SI. Aubia, who was one of the party. But if she thought site aroused Jealousy in Duncan's heart by her open flirtation with Ms rival she was indeed misieleen, foe, instead of jealousy, a strange wild hope possessed him, as her high laugh and flippant tones fell on his ear --hope Unit eventually eho would really make up her mind to nocept this faithful admirer and nee him for good end all. lag Eileen was not really a bad-tem- pered girl, and see $oon became herself again, and had so, much nced of Duncan during the following days thal, he had very HUM- timo free, and drifted quietly inert the role of a devoted lover.

Walking; in Bond Street one morning, he met Lady Ceuee with Sunbeam. The gfrl looked radiantly happy, and was telking gaily to her companion, whose face hall lost its look of pathetic long- ing. "Why, Daman, whet a stranger you are 1" exclaimed the older woman, slopping and holding out her hand. "I wanted to soo you to thank you for find- ing Sunbeanz—her name is appropriate. She has warmed my heart. And I owo you eternal thanks." "1 ant delighted to Wive rendered you a sexylce," he replied, glancing from one to the other and smiling, "I am glad also that you saw Sunbeam before any ono else wanted her. Experience has taught me the value of your friendship - Sunbeam is indeed lucky to have secured it " "1 te'il myself that from morning to night," interrupted the girl. "I am afraid everybody is spoiling me," "Nonsense," interposed Lady Cruse, her taco growing tender. "1 do not think anyorto could do that, my eltild. Noe could I ever repay you suincientle for the edy you already are to me. Had my child remained mine, Duncan, I would have chosen her just like Sun- brain—in aprearance and character. Thorofare she is my (bugger now. We beta quite settled that." "Oh, Lady Cruse 1 I fold you that sonie day I Must go—my duly will be to do time" began Sunbeam in a quivezing voice, leo eyes turning Inquiringly to Duncan's. Lady Cruse laughed. '"rhere's some mistake there, my Mlle friend. I shall not part with you oagly, end you will riot want to leavo us." "No; perhaps not. But ono cannot al- ways choose to do what one prefers," murmured the girl, her oyes filling with teens. Then, tenting to Duncan, she con- tinued in a voice broken with anxiety, eliztvreyon heard enything of Aunt lietty —oteeemy father?"

"Though I do not see why any one nece know that he is not all ono imagines her," she explained to her hus- band. "Theretope I alutil enlighten no one myself.

More they certainly need not know." Therefore, when Sunbeam joined the house -party o1 Breckley Paric, she was reeeived by the other guests as ono of th.ernselves. Nor did Eileen enlighten tttern as to her true position, though she herself was 'extremely cold and stiff with her, according her scant notice. Nevertheless Su abeam, who had dreaded tho visit tebove all things, was surprised bo find herself enjoying it, and grew lighter hearted every day; though she. avoided Duncan, banOmIng shy and silent in his presence. Once he asked her if he had offended her, and though her answer was incobeeently evasive, he understood that sornothing had coma be- tween them, something that transformed Ilte happy, laughing giri Into a blushing, embarrussed woman in his presenoo. Had be known that her changed man- ner was due to 'her sudden knowledge of her Insure he would have related, but, unforthaately, he put 11 down to other causes. , and suffered accordingly. fvfeanwithe, the days flew by in quick succession, and Fate hovered above both, watchful and menacing. The first shadow fell across Sun- beam's path one glorious evening as she thole a solitary walk n the grounds. The others had gone to a garden party at some large house a few miles off, leaving Iter behind with Eileen, who was suf. tering front neurelgia, and had remained in her room nearly all day. Therefore Sunbeam had her tea alone, and, after a quiet row on the lake, turned into the wilderness—a tangled mass of greenery behind the hotme. Here she loved to roam; it was cool, silent, full of Natincis beauties and un- touched by man. In parLs the branches or the trees grew so close together that the sky WAS barely visible between their foliage, whilst below bushes and bram- bles smothered the paths. Suddenly before her Sunbeam saw a man. Though his hack was turned to iter, she knew him at once and slopped, para- lyzed with fear, not knowing whether io advance or retreat. But he had evident- ly some inkling of her Presence, for just es she was about to turn back he faced bar, starting forward with a surprise as gpeat as her own. "Gavel I" he exclairnod, "You, Sun- beam - So I've round you at last 1 Who'd 'avc thought of your bein' here.

She remembered the last drne she htut seen him, livid with bestial anger, and road the undisguised affection 10 his smiling race with a deep reeling 01 thankfulness.

Coiwe require a different kind of feed- ing in some respects to tag of beef animals, and Dr. Roberts, the Wiscon- sin State veterinarian, says the daily feed for a one-taousand pound cow is forty ;pounds of silage, seven pounds clover hay, eight pounds of grain. The cows that, are soon Go calve should be fed on succulent feed such as silage or roots, bran, linseed meal with a little oats. Keep tho bowels open and do not feed very heavy on grains just before or after calving. After caving give bran mash and warm the iirtnking water for a few days. Allow the calf to suet( foe tom days and then feed Ids mother's milk tem a pall for about Iwo weeks shout three, genets twice a day; after that reduce it with skimmilk or warm water an thra althe end of tom% week Um calf will be. getting all skim milk or half whole intik and half warm water with 'some reliable stock tonic to aid digestion.
