The next day Lady Cruse called and
took Sunbeam away with hese

donee whispered that it was just. as well
tbal, Fate had interywied for the preeent,
and he consoled himself wIl h Lho know-
ledge ihnt Lady Cruse and her protege
were due at Black* Park very shortly,
iheugh, after the manner in which Eileen
had spoken to 8unbeazu in his hearing,
he wondered how Sunbeam would Ouse
es bee guest.
fie felt displeased with Eileen for her
attitude towards a'unbeani, and also dis-
gusted. 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. But his
thoughts were nevertheless with Sun-
beam, and the strange ide.a that had
coept Into his mind during his conversa-
tion witn her.
If only he knew where eletty had gone
to i But he had not an Jading, of her
whereabouts, and, with a thousand ques-
thole awaiting the answeis she alone
mad give, he, In leis few spare mo-
ments from Pelee:as side, paced the un-
feshionable streets of the metropolis in
the hope ot suddenly meeting her.
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

.exclaimed La"And Cense. And now good-

"Yee; 1 ani goieg there with Adele, eo
we shall meet ere long. 'Good-bye, Sun-
beam. If I do find out where Mlas Green.

"How good you are I" she nimmered,
loking gratefully at him.

"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. If any man showed signs
or falling in love with leer, th.en wilt /e0
the time to speak—meanwhile, wo can
keep our own counsel. • Eileen has in-
cluded Izer In the invitation, and tho
Larkins havo received her in their home
circle; all that is sufficient for outsiders.
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.
Crickey 1 it's luck that brought mo
down 1"
The tenser that bad possessed her hied
away, and a look of relief sprang to her
eyes.
"Father 1" she murmured, going up to
him, and holding out both hands plead-
ingly. "SO you are glad be see me then,
you—you—e
She paused, choking wale emotion.
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. So ho still loved her, end
had missed her 1 She need no longer
fear hem, after all.
"yes," he answered gruffly, "I'm de-
lighted to see you, though maybe 1
oughter be angry wi' you for your un-
doollful behavior, but I 'eve no time nor
lildre to talk or that, I'm 'artily glad to
see that you still ceoe for your old
tether. And may I ask what you're
doin' 'ere. It'engslmul I want to know."
"I'm slaying item father, with the
lady who has taken me as her conman-
lore and—"
"Her what owns this place?"
"Oh, no. Lady Ceuso."
He started, his eyes daging.
"What? Lady. Cruse 1" be ejaculated.
"You're her companion?"
"Yes—" elle faltered, ularmed at his
evident excitement. "For Lady Cruse

fre swore heavily under Ms breath, his
threatenine, eyes on her.
"You won't?" he growled, seizing 1100
aim roughly.
Sho winced at the touch. All her old
fear revived. Then with a feeling of
relief she heard a crackling of boughs on
tho other side of the brarnble-bouna
hedge.
Iler father dropped her arm, and
Sprang quickly aseee. Alarm for Wm
kilted her dread of him.
"Go," sho whispered. "Go, some ono

He smiled.
"An honest man may walk etre without

moving away nevertheless; "and re-
member, if you don't help, lei send
Gentleman Dan to retch you. Like Old

"I can't, I can't I" site reiterated in a
Mw whisper, clasping her hands to-
gether Lightly and turning back to the
house as he crept behind a nee with a
warning look on his ugly face.
But Sunbeam had not gone far when
her father's voice souncled in her ear.
"Listen, Sunbeam—we get a scare for
nothing. IL was a bird, no doubt, in the

THE COW AND CALF.
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
