I have no inclination to endow chari- ties. My own blood shall reap the benefit of my millions," "But Rebekah is young, In a year or two she will forget me. There are plenty of men who would make more suitable husbands. She may find one that can give her the love she deserves." Harecastle spoke simply but with great feeling, Joel Listened with a whimsical smile. "But here we have a marriage, at .hand that is in every way a fit and proper one. What is there to prevent it? She loves you; you never loved her, but' still you agreed,", Joel said with a sneer, "She did not then know that I cared for Miss Fotherston." "That is unfortunate, but it will. not be the first marriage where the love is all on one side. But I am getting very sick of this talk. Bring your father to the scratch en the morning, and I warrant that Rebekah will give in gracefully. Good night, and pleasant dreams," Harecastle walked moodily up- stairs. The Earl was not yet asleep and he looked up eagerly when his son entered. "Is he still obstinate?" he asked quiekly. "As the pig, to which his race ob- jects,'' Harecastle said with a sneer, of whichhe was immediate- ly ashamed. "I am afraid that he will do what he says," "But I may be able to persuade Rebekah," the Earl said eagerly. Harecastle shook his head grave- ly. "I rave-ly"I don't think we ought to ask her. Sleep on it father, we will come to it decision in the morn- ing." "I dread the night, Cyril. I am frightened. 1 can't think, the Earl said brokenly. Harecastle watched him for a mo- ment, "Quick!" the Earl gasped. "An- other attack." Sareoastlo hastened for the medi- cine and rushed ,to his father's• side, "Send for a doctor immediately. The Earl is ill," he ordered per- emptorily. "Perhaps this will be a solution," the Earl managed to. whisper, and lapsed into unconsciousness. The Earl was evidently in great pain, but the medicine quiekly re- Lieved him, and in a few minutes .his face resumed its ordinary, e.'- pression, save Joe the dull pain in hie eyes. "Oen 1 see Miss Josephs to- n ight 7 he aeked at last, "The morning will do. She is in bed," Joel replied triumphant- ly. "I think 1 too will retire," the Earl said se he struggled. "Cyril, will you help me upstairs?" "Yes, father," he answered as he took him by the arm, "It is • early yet, Mr,- Josephs, -Can't you spare me a few 'minutes? I will come down at once, "Certainly," "Joel replied, "I ani in no hurry for bed." Harecastle tenderly led his fa- ther to hie room, • "Don't worry," he said Booth- 10gly. "Perhaps ,we shall find a solution. "You do forgive me, Cyril? I have brought you this terrible trouble," he asked appealingly. "1 forgive you, father," Hare- eastle said gravely. "Try your best to sleep. I will do my best to -persuade Joel to forgo his inten- tion, I will look in nn my way to bed to see if you are asleep," "I don't deserve such kindness, my lad," the Earl said huskily, Then Harecastle did a thing that he had not done for years. He bent down and kissed his 'father's forehead. A convulsive sob broke from the Earl, and he silently pressed his ion's hand. Harecastle felt that the coming interview was a forlorn hope, het he' could not miss • the faintest •chance of moving the Jew. Joel was pacing to •and fro, and be :smiled genially when Ilarecastie made his appearance. - "I am glad t, seethat the Real is inclined to view things sensibly," he remarked pleasantly, "Take a •cigar, and a whisky and soda,'' "No thank you, sir," Harecastle replied coldly. "1 am here to make ono last endeavor to save my fa- ther. . Be generous, Mr. Joseph' He is an old man, and very frail. He cannot live very long, and I pray you not to embitter his last days." "You have said all that before," .fool said quickly, "and if that is ali,'you 'may as well be silent." "I cannot. I must try to pee- -suede you. I am sure that my fa- ther will not succeed in persuading your daughter. I can do nothietg to help him; she had suffered enough an my account.

At last R,ebekah's hell rang, ail Mrs, Goldberg Hastened to lies room, "What is the matter, aunt? Why was I not galled 7" she asked. "The Earl is ill, and your mar- riage has been postponed," she answered hurriedly. "Poor old man!" she'said sadly, "Is he dangerously *ill?" "Yes,' my dear. Cyril has sent to town for Sir Francis.

"I will gent . up; will sorely need some one to comfort hem in a few hours Sir Francis Lock - yet., the specialist, arrived, ,and he bore out the local doctor's opin- ion. • "He is evidently troubled about something, and itis vital that he should be kept as quint as possible. It` is the only chance of saving his life," he said with ominous- grav- ity. Rebekah sat down by the Earl's side, and he brightened up at her presence. "Child, I have sent for you. I want you to do me a favor. Will you marry Cyril?" "Don't trouble yourself. Cyril and I are agreed," she said quiet- ly. . "But uietly"But your father—his threat?" he whispered hoarsely. She was stricken with horror. Her father, then, was the cause of this seizure. He must have told the Earl of his intention of destroy- ing him, She haste.ed to comfort him, "Don't fear. He will not do it. I promise you that if he still threat- ens, I will marry Cyril. Do you understand? Don't tell father that I have said this, I will bring him to you," she said, with the idea that Joel's presence would tend to ease his mind. She found her father in the lib- rary. "1 'hope you are satisfied with your work," she said scornfully. "It was not my doing," he lied obstinately. "I won't discuss that, but the harm has been done, and you must do your but to make things right. The Earl is worrying dreadfully. Come to him and tell him that you consent to the marriage being broken off. It is only right," she said passionately. "You hesitate," she cried scorn- fully. "Are you a man or a fiend? 1 shall hate you bitterly if you do not come at once." 0 n1 Y r ed rt, s e 9, n 0 0 r t d STOMACH INDiGESTION. i°c-r -m Sfriker of lko Roo( of M m Trendies MR. 9. J. MASSEY. Mr. S. J, Massey, formerly a re- sident of Toronto, and a well-known business man, writes from 247 Guy street, Montreal, Quebec,. "I wish to testify to .the good results 1 have derived from the use er Femme. "Having been troubled for sev- eral years with catarrh of the head, I decided to give Peruna a fair trial and I can truly say I have received great benefit from its use. Ie evidently strikes at the very root of the trouble and good re- sults are soon noticeable. "I have also found Peruna a very valuable remedy for stomach trou- ble and indigestion. "I have no hesitancy whatever in recommending Peruna as a reli- able catarrh remedy:" There are several kinds of indi- gestion. - The trouble • may bedue to slug- gishness of the liver, derangements of the bowels, enlargement of the pancreas, or it may be due to the.,, stomach itself. In nearly all cases of stomach in- digestion catarrh of the stomach is the cause. The only permanent re- lief is to remove the catarrh. Peruna has become well-known the world over as a remedy in such_ oases. She was now the dominating spirit, for she was upheld by a feeling of right. He -obediently fol- lowed her upstaise, and stood by the Earl's side. "He is here, Lord Wolverholme," she said brightly. "Tell him that he has nothing to fear," she cried, turning to her father. "Lord Wolverholme," Joel be- gan slowly. "Forget what I said last night. I did not mean it. I should never have done what 1 threatened to do. I was merely tryipg to get my own way, I am beaten and I give in." It was wonderful to see the ex- pression of relief the words brought to the Earl's face. Rebekah sought out Harecastle, 'who was in the smoking -room moodily looking out of the window, but he quickly brightened at her approach, • "How is my father?" he asked. "I think he is a little better. I have just taken my father to see him.. I discovered what must have p taken 'place last night. It was ti contemptible and cowardly of my father. If the Earl dies, his death lies at his door, but he has done whoa he can to relieve your fa- thcr•'a anxiety, He has told hienr that be need not fear'," "Thank God 1" Harecastitt breathed fervently, "Isbell never be ebic to thank you for your god Peso, Rebekah," She looked wistfully at hitn; and she longed to have •the right to comfort him. in hie trouble. Joel, too,'ivas booming more re. canceled to the situation, The Earl had been ill for e fort. night, and enc day Joel sought out his daughter, and he found her in the act of repacking cue of the wedding presents. "Read this," he cried' curtly as he handed' her a sheet of paper. It was a formal announcement to the ,effect that .lies extgsgemant was broken off. "Will it please you if I send this to the papers?" he .asked impati- ently, "Yee, fates r. It is only right that it should be Bane at Once," she replied, and her thoughts turn- ed to Ethel Fethereton, The days passed, and still .Ethel made no move. Rebekah deter= mined to write, and oho did so at great length. "Do write to him," die wound up, "He is sorely in, need of com- fort, . and who but you should, be near him in his trouble," The answer she received was cold in the extreme, and it caused ,her great distress One day she broached the matter to Lord Harecastle. "Why do you not run up to'town and see Ethel? It is only a mis- understanding, and a few words would put an end to it," she said wistfully, "But I 'cannot say those words. You do not understand her. She is rigid in her sense of right an l wrong. Her love is based, on self. respect. She thinks that I have behaved badly. I cannot disabuse her mind unless I tell my father s secret. That I shall never do," he said firmly. "Why cannot she trust you;" Rebekah asked wonderingly, "It is a gift of the gods, the po v- er to trust, and it cannot be as gnired. Besides, everything is against Inc." "I cannot, understand 'love with. out faith," she said softly, "ro me it is impossible." • But this conversation caused her to think, and when she heard that the Earl was a little better she de- termined to try to bring this ua' satisfactory state of affairs to an.. end He was .sitting up in bed, sup ported by pillows, and he gave her a cheerful smile. m "Lagoing to speak about un - Pleasant 'things ; will you forgive me?" she began softly. "I could forgive you anything, my child." "It is about Cyril and Ethel Feth- erston, I want to bring them to- gether," "But they love one another, don't they? You don't mean to say that there is a hitch?" he said excitedly. "She does not understand what has happened, and she has lost faith in him. You know that they were engaged. Harecastle broke ib off and •became engaged to Inc. You mu understand that this must have hart' her terribly ; she imag- ines that he did it for the sake of my money," I see," the Earl said reflective-. ly. Of course it has been quite iso ossible for Cyril to tell her the uth, and----" "I see.

Good breeding ie essential; and Should go hand in hand with good feeding and seasonable housing. ik wholesome bed is what is required, and although a big supply of bed- ding is not required in summer, what is supplied then should be composed of sound straw, , Foul, dusty straw has •a very irritating effect with the pig inwardly as well ea outwardly, in that the pig noses its way into its bed, and conse- quently inhales a considerable por- tion of the dust and fungus con- tained in the filthy bed, and eon- tinuaily laying in such bedding has a very irritating effect on the skin of the animal, robbing it ofsthe ful- lest repose, so essential to the pig that is expected to lay on flesh,. Itis little matters of this descrip- tion that often lead to eventual loss, for the profit on the pig, rear- ed forutilitypurposes, is not large on the outlay necessary, it copse- quently follows that it does not take much neglect of minor details in proper management to take the primeness off the pig, which prime- ness is the profit, Ib is far from economy on the part of the farmer —with whom pig -keeping is iE branch of the undertaking—to sell all his best straw and keep nothing but the rough, inferior stuff for the actual bedding for his pigs. It is true in summer the general condition of the pig department should be of a more rural nature than in winter, but in allottiug to the pig the bedding, so essential to its welfare in summer, the cares of the winter must not he over- looked, but a supply of the sound- est straw stored for actual bedding in winter. Filth can he made to produce a profit if trodden into manure, but this is not enhanced {by first supplying this to the pigs for actual bedding. It is not policy t sell to allhe best straw off the farm for other people's purposes, for if the best is essential to the welfare of other people's stock at least a reasonable portion isgood for the grower's own stock. A good bed of sound wheat straw for pigs in winter is more econo- mical than any other straw, be- cause its lasting qualities and cleanly conditions more than make up for the difference in the price of it and other straws. Oat straw it. very absorbent, it quickly takes up the slightest dampness and re- tains it, and this makes it very necessary to be continually lookiug aver the bed to get away such por- tion. Barley straw gets short and dusty very quickly, and pigs Iaying in a foul bed of this soon get lousy, and lice do not contribute to com- fort; and repose of their hosts, and comfort and repose mean a lot to the fattng tin impressionenipig. is soon made on the mind of the observant, when comparing the condition and state of the well -bedded pig with that of the one struggling for repose and comfort, in a musty, fusty, dusty accumulation of filth, and the impression is that the former condition is .made up of details that tend to an eventful profit. The pig with the clean bed has a bright,. shining skin, is warm and comfort- able, and at peace with itself and the world. The sleeping time of this pig is devoted to real sleep, and a tap on the teen h at feeding time arouses him re reslied, and he is immediately prepared to take his fill in quick time ; but in the case of the pig to whom a comfort- able bed is not considered an essen- tial, just watch him in his bed of short, rotten, stinking straw and dust, and see hien wriggle about from irritation and shiver from cold because he is unable to get into a coil, as is his wont, and this when he ought to be asleep and laying on flesh, and see in what a half-hearted way he drags himself out of the heap of filth to partake al the food supplied to him, It takes a long while for him to get to the trough, so mach time having to be spent in rubbing and scratching against every available projection on the journey thereto, and even while lie is in the act of eating, lie is far from being at peace, An eye should be given to the pig's bed daily, and if there are any damp portions, these should be removed. A peaceable pig is a pro- fltabie ane, and a elea.n, ciry bed of scund straie is a condition in the general management that contri- butes considerably to this peace- nbleness, After all that has ben said as to the advisability of keeping the pig furnished with a sweet, dry bed, there is yet another paint to be touched upon in regard to the cont• fortable repose of the pig, and that is the condition of the floor of the sleeping quarters.
