Mrs. Anson's daughter possessed a face

Mrs. Anson sal opposite me, chatted
pleasantly during the meal, and now

and join in our conversation. That

suspect that she was an actress.
Mrs, Anson, however, dispelled (bis
notion by expressing her disapproval of
,the stage as a profession for women, an
cpin.lon with which her daughter at
once agreed. No, she could not be an
:actress, 1 felt assured- Both mother
and daughter bine the munistekable
ball -nark of gentlewomen.
I sat hesute Mabel Anson in rapt ad-
miration. Never before in all my life
had niy eyes fallen upon so perfect an
'incarnation of faminlns grace and nnar-
vellous beauty; never before until that
moment had a woman's face held me
in such enchantment,
Presently the conversation turned, as
it so often doe at dinner -tables, upon
•certain engagements recen5ly announc-
ed, whereupon the Colonel, In the mer-
ry careless manner habitual to him,
•advanced the theory that most girls
.married with a view to improve their
-social position.
"As to n husband's fortune," remote,
ed his wIe, with that stiff formality
~which was her peculiar characteristic,
'It really isn't so hureortant to a wo-
man. as the qualities which lead to for-

thrift—and position .such a man may
attain for himself."
"And itt eduoat'on?" inquired Mrs.
Anson, softly, eppa'entiy interested In
the argument.
"In education a mon certainly should
ho his wife's equal," answered Mrs,
Clnannin , speaking wiLh that high-
pitched jerkiness ot (Ane which made
it appear us though ter words snapi.ed
off short. "Undoubtedly (here is some

"You speak as though from experi-
ence," she laughed without, however,
attempting to combat my argument,
Another outburst of laughter greeted
This bantering remark of hers.
"No," observed Nellie, on my other
hand, "Mr. Heaton Is the most con-
firmed bachelor I know• 1 believe hos
a woman-hater—it' the truth were told.'
"Oh, really, MLss Channing!" 1 pro-
tested. "That's certainly too bad of
you, • f assure you Pm no hater of the
sex, but an admirer,"
"Heaton's about to make a pretty
speech," observed the jovial, red-faced
Colonel, "Go on, Wilford, my dear fol
low, we're alt attention:'
"No,' I said, laughing, "I've been
drawn quite unfairly into this contro-
versy. Therefore MI preserve a master-
ly silence"
"Mr. Heaton Is, I think, diplomatic,"
laughed the dark, handsome girl next
to me. "He has cleared his character
of the aspersion cast upon it, and pre-
serves a dignified attitude," And she
turned and smiled gaily upon me in
triumph,
She was exquisitely charming, i sat
at her aide gossiping merrily, while to
my dazzled gaze she .presented a beau-
tiful picture of youthful a'ry delicacy—
feminine sweetness combined with pat-
rician grace. For the first time in all
my life that pettiooal.ed paradox, wo-
man, conveyed to me the impress(on of
perfect beauty, of timidity and grace,
combined with a natural, inborn dig-
nity. There was nothing forced or un-
natural in her manner as with other
women I had met; none of that affected
mannishness of deportment and slangy
embellishments of conversation which
are so characteristic of girls of to -day,
be they daughters of tradesmen or of
peers. The qualities which imparted to
Mabel her distinct individuality were the
beautiful conhbtnalon of the dainty deli-
cacy with the elegance—of simplicity
with elevation—of spirit with sweetness.
The artless manner in which her innate
nobility of soul and natural loftiness of
spirit shone forth through her patrician
disguise was apparent from her con-
versalion when, an hour later, we re-
sume h
d our chat into dr g
uwin -room.
She showed In that short and pleasant
gossip that she possessed that upright
simplicity of mind which disdained all
crooked and Indirect means, which
would not stoop for an Instant to dis-
semblance, and was mingled with a
noble confidence in the power of good
in the world,
She gave me the Impression—why, I
cannot. tel] --.of one who itad passed un-
der the ennobling discipline of suffer-
ing and self-denial. A melancholy
charm tempered the natural vigor of
her mind; her spirit seemed to stand
upon an eminence and Wok down upon
me as one inferior to her in intellect,
in moral principle—in feet, in every-
thing. From the very first moment
when. I had bowed to her on our intro-
J'u,iLion she held me spell -bound in
faseina tion,
When the ladies had left, and I sat
alone with the Colonel, smoking over
a liqueur, I Inquired about her.
"hits. Anson is the widow of old Gen-
eral Anson,' Inc said. "fie died about
twelve years ago, and 'they've since
lived a great deal abroad."
"Well off? I enquired, with affected
ca re:essness,
"Very comfortably, I should say, Mrs.
Anson has a fortune of her own, I be-
lieve. They have a hoose at present
In The Battens,"
"Mabel is extremely good-looking," I
remuiked.
"01 coarse, my dear boy," laughed
the Colonel, with his liqueur -glass pole-
& in his hand, a twinkle in his eye.
°Ilelween us, she's the prettiest girl in
London. She creates a sensation wher-
ever she goes,for beauty like hers isn't
met with twie

"Yes," 1 said reflectively, and then

tle, or purposely affected ignorance—
which, 1 was unable to determine. He
had knouvn her lather intimately, hav-

That was about all 1 learnt further,
So we tossed away our cigars, drain-
ed our 'glasses, and rejoinetd the four
ladies wino were awaiting us In the
drnwing-room, where later, at Mls.

and in' a saved, clear contralto sang

CHAPTER XI.
Long and deeply 1 pondered over the
Colonel's words, That be had some
underlying motive to thus werning me
against the woman by whom 1 had be-
come so fascinated was vividly appar-
ent, yet to all my demands he remained
dumb. On the afternoon following 1
fund him In the St. James's Club —
that club of diplomatists—and reverted
to the subject. But all the response he
vouchsafed wits—
"l've merely warned you, my dear
fellow. I shall say ne more. 1, of
course, don't blame you for admiring
her, 1 only tell you to pull yourself
up short."
h
"But why?"
Y
"Because if you go further then ad-
miration you'll be treading dangerous
ground—devilish dangerous, 1 can as-
sure you,"
Your mean that she has a jealous
lover?" I suggested.
"She has no lover, as tar as I am
aware," he answered,
"'Then, speaking candidly, Channing,"
[ said, "I don't see why you should
turn prophet like this without giving
me any reason."
"My reason is briefly told,' he said
with unusual gravity. "I don't wish
to sec you upset and unhappy, now that
you've recovered your sight,"
His words seemed: very lump ones.
" Why should I be unhappy?"
"Because Mahe! Anson con never be
more to you than an acquaintance; she
can never reciprocate your love. I tell
you plainly that if you allow yourself
to become en(ranoed and all that sort
of thing, you'll only make a confound-
ed ass of yourself."
'You certainly speak very plainly,' I
observed, annoyed that he alnould in -
torten so prematurely in a matter which
was assuredly my u(fair alone.
"I speak because I have your welfare
at heart, Wilford," he answered, In a
kindly tone. "I only regret now that
I asked you to any table to meet her.
It is my fault, entirely my fault."
"You talk as though she were some
genius of evil," I laughed. "Let me act
as I think nt, my dear Channing."
"Let you go headlong to the devil,
eh?" he snapped.
"But to love 'her is not to go ort the
downward path, surely?" I cried incre-
dulously.
"1 warn you, once and for all, to have
nothing whatever to do with her," ho
said. I know her—you donot."
But I laughed him to scorn His
words seemed utterly absurd, as though
hie mind were filled by some strong
prejudice which he -dared not to utter
for fear of laying himself open to an
action for slander. If her acquaint-
ance wore so extremely undesirable,
why and he invite her and her mother
to his table] His words were not borne
cut by his own actions.
So I bade him farewell rather coo11y,
and left the club abruptly, in anger
with myself at having sought Min, or
bestowed a single thought upon his ex•
trao'dtnary warning.

EXPERIMENTS IN THE FleF.DING OF

The resells of the experiments in the
feeding of hogs that have been con-
ducted at the Central Experimental
Farm, Ottawa, were described recently
t.;, the members of the Standing Com•

Commons, by Mr. J. H. Grisdale, Do

phastzed strongly the value of roots for
pigs, flogs, when turned into a Goa -

mange's first, next sugar beets, theft
carrots, and, lastly, turnips. There
was, he said, objection to this method
of feeding. The pigs were apt to de-
velop too much paunch, and not to
make as rapid gains as when. the
amount of roots fed. was controlled,
Therefore, Whilst one saved he the coat

in Inctwintering of brood sows, in
one bunch there were 20 breed sows.

They were fed 37,100 pounds of roots,

$2,e, a ton, 4.151 pounds of shorts at $25

a lob, During the !hist seven weeks,
that is about 50 days, those sows cost
just 2% cents a day to feed. This
shows that it is possible to carry brood
saws through very cheaply, even un-
der such adverse conditions as are to
bt had at the farm, The last seven
weeks, or 50 days, it cost a lltllc more,
because the sates were getting near the
limo for farrowing, and they had to be

Mr-. Crisdale in reply to questions,
said that purnptelns were. an cxcelkgt
feed for pigs, in fact he did not plink
thea anything would ;surpass them as
a cheap fattening ration. Artichokes
were a capital feed for fattening pigs
and brood sows for about a month in
the fall and two weeks in the spring.
CHLOROSIS.
Tits is a peculiar form of anaemia
which occurs l0 young women, goner
ally between the ages of fifteen and
twenty. 11 it is found after the age of
Washy -five it is a relapse; from a form-
er attack. It is characterized by a yel-
1cwLlh green l::nt of the skin, and tom
lb's i1 receives Its name. In any case
of anaem(a where there is a doubt of
the diagnosis, an examination of the
iJlowl Itself will :Joon settle the gees -
.on.
The blood of the chlorot'c patient will
invariably be deficient in hemoglobin,
which is the coloring -matter of the red
c •.Muscles and Isle carrier at oxygen to
the system. While in other forms 01
anaemia the red corpuscles may be
found greatly decreased in quantity, in
Mileposts they will 'bo found in suffici-
ent number, but poor (n quality.
As it is the hemoglobin in the blood
wheel eatables one to breathe, it fol-
lows, as a matter of course that any de-
ficiency in it will affect the breathing
pewee, and therefore. the supply el nec-
essary oxygen which comes to the sys-
tem. The chlorotic patient therefore
lives in continual bad air wherever she
is and her whole system suffers ac-
cordingly.
The whole muscular system of course
suffers, because muscular tome is in
direct ratio to the amount of oxygen
taken In. The heart muscle will be weak
and irritable, and there will be a satose
et breathlessness acid probably palpi-
tation following any exertion. As the
entire system of muscles is affected,

ague and lassitude, with

FAMOUS "RING" OF 13YO,ONE DAYS,
where for many generations feshionabii
ladies .and gentlemen came to walk,

dainties of their times.

and then gave it IA his people as a
place for races and athletic sports-
Stern old Cromwell seems to have
loved to walk about the •pat+k, and it
was he who Conceived the idea of en-
closing a great stretch of grass with
a driveway about it inside iron rail-
ings, as a sort of recreation ground.
Aller the' Restoration the real popularity
of this grassy lawn was established and
It became a regular resort for fashion-
able men and women every afternoon
through the spring and summer. Even
the ICfng and Queen visited the "Ring;'
as it was called, and sometimes linger.

IN QUEEN ANNE'S TIME
the gayeties in i•Iyde Parlc flourished
well. May day was high festival for Lht
lords and ladies of the court. Mal
poles wore sot up and dancers stepped

sirines and boles. Upon the nevi
grown grass collations were serve'1
from Price's Lodge, With William and
Mary's reign came a diminution of ray -

and Melia evidently continued, es one
chronicler, Tom Browne, describes it
thus in 1700:
Scores ot gallant ladies in cea0'ses,
some singing, some laughing and Acre
tickling one another, toy in the Ding
and devout' cheesecakes, ntax'chepane
and China oranges."
Then camp n limo when Lhe troops
Were encamped in Hyde Park and the

This does not seem to have disconcert.

they still continue to visit their favor-
ite recreation ground in the afternoons,
peep into the tents, joke with their oc-
cupants and finish up with "hot dishes
of tea and swept drams of ratifies."
