The twelfth of April, the date
vet for 411isonrs wedding, was mild
and beautiful—an ideal April day.
At an early hour the florists ,and
decorators took possesslea of her
stately home, and before evening it
was turned into a magnificent tem-
ple of floral beauty.
The ehuiell, also, where Allison
had •been in the habit of attending
was tastefully adorned, and redo-
lent with perfumes, which was like
a fragrant benediction upon the
consummation of her happiness.
Nothing had been omitted to make
the occasion one befitting the mar-
riago of the petted darling of Ad-
am Brewster, the late wealthy ban-
ker,
After the discoveries of two even-
ings previous, a little change was
made in the programme of ehe'ser-
viee. Mr. Charles Manning had
"'been asked to give the bride away;
he had been considered the one
best calculated to officiate in this
,capacity, for Allison had always
regarded him as a relative, .and
had been particularly fond of him
and hie family,.
• But, after learning that the sweet
little bride -elect was her daugh-
ter, Lady Bromley begged thatshe
might be allowed to usurp this pri-
vilege,
"Gerald, she iv mine—I am fond
of you both, and I want to give her
to you," she had pleaded.
Mr. Manning, therefore, cheerful-
ly resigned in her favor ; Allison
was greatly pleased with the ar-
rangement, and everybody regard-
ed it as most appropriate.
There were no bridesmaids.
Gladys Manning had been chosen
to act as a floral page, and, pre-
ceded by the ushers, walked before
those two beautiful women down
the broad aisle to the altar, seat-
tering a profusion of flowers in
their path as she went.
Lady Bromley's jewel -casket was
again opened for thie-occasion, for
surely, she thought, she could not
withhold anything that would add
luster to this important event, end
thus the ' magnificent diamonds
which adorned her person, to-
gether with her stately' bearing and
proud, beautiful face, attracted al-
most as much attention and admir-
ation as the bride herself.
Allison's wedding -gown was both
rieb and elegant, yet ebaracteriz-
ed by an airiness the effect of its
trimmiugs of lace -that was just
suited to her youth and style of
beauty.
She was veiled from bead to foot

As Mr. Lyttieton had prophesied,
therewas very little difficulty or
delay in settling the Br -valley es-
tate after the appearance of Alla
son upon the scene, with the many
indisputable proofs that she was the
sehild of Sir Cbarles and Lady
Bromley, and thus the only legiti-
mete heir to tate property.
At first there was an attempt to
make it appear that she was a pre-
teuder, but when all the facts were
disclosed, Mrs. Bryant having
joined her friends in London a few
weeks after their arrival there, to
give, her testimony regarding her
gonnection with the case --it was
found useless to prolong the suit,
and the other claimants were oblig-
ed to withdraw all pretensions to
the estate.
After the rendering of the deals -
fen of the court, the whole party
spent re couple of months in travel-
ing and sightseeing, visiting im-
portant points in Prance, Switzer -
once remarked, As she suddenly

Gerald continued his connection
with Mr. Lyttleton as a student, as
previously arranger -di and, aflar two
years of diligent study, was admit-
ted to the bar, where he became'
an ornament to his profession, and
eventually an authority upon legal
questions of a eomplicated nature.
His aim was not so 'much for pc-
auniary emolument as to achieve a
rigid administration of equity!, anis
he never spared himself in his ef-
forts to win the victory for those
olielits who had fallen victims of
the trickery of unprincipled sharp-
ers and rogues.
Be and Allison, with their inter-
esting family, always spent a -por-
tion of each year at Lakeview—the

TILLING TEE SILO,
The silo is no louger an experi-

silage properly will agree. The
round silo, whether the same is
made of wood, metal, concrete or
brick, has ovsrcotue many of the
difficulties which were enoounber"
ed in keeping silage in tite els-fash-
ioned or square silo. The present
form of the site is probably as Per-
fect a formas will ever be devised.

point at issue is the east.
There i$ now no longer any
doubt as to the right . method of
filling the silo. With tine perfee

If a long spout is hung from the

i•ta large pile and the surface of the
silage next the wall of the situ is
kept tramped, and water added as
ueoessary, there will be no danger
of the acme spoiling. The question
as to how mature corn should be
before using for silage is much less
in dispute than it used to bo.
Now it is generally accepted that
the beat silage is made from corn
that is quite mature. If a dent va-
riety, the dent itt the kernel abould
commence to show. A good many
of the unsatisfactory results in
storing silage in the past have un-
doubtedly been due to the use- of
corn that was too green. An ar-

FARM NOTES.
In the eighth century the Saxon
Ring Inc built and endowed a
monastery at Glastonbury and him-
self became a monk. Here Dun -
The best waytoStan labored and became abbot;
and hese were the sepulchers of
Kings Edmund and Edgar and Ed-
mund Ironsides,
Henry II., in the twelfth century,
built a new abbey and church of
superb proportions, the ruins of
which cover some sixty acres.
In 1039, cit the refusal of the ab-
bot to surrender Glastonbury and
its ,treasures to the crown, Henry
VIII. dismantled the abbey, and
hanged and beheaded and quarter-
ed the last abbot. The property
fell into ruins and passed into pri-
rate hands. Now again it has
happily conic back into the posses-
sion of the C'htu'ch of England.

finer they are ground, the sooner
they become available to the plant.
If they are treated with sulphuric
acid they are almost immediately
usable by the plant as food.
A good deal is said about cover
crops just now, and many kinds
are recommended, but most writ-
ers make the same mistake farm-

i,c., thinking plants will grow large
on poor soil, It does not pay to
buy high-prieed cow peas, erimsoti
clover, Canada peas or red elover,
to sow on land se poor that it will
not yield a load 1.0 the acre,
An essential feature in plowing
is that the broken connectins of
the inverted furrow-slire with the
subsoil will soon be repaired. It
is well known that the moisture in
tate soil comes to the surface by
means of a natural law called capil-
lary, attraction. The same preeees archeologist opened up a much
