She always steadily adheres to the con- venient fietion that she knows no- thing whatever of the amorous fila- ments which bind her guests to- gether in pairs, as turtle doves might be tied together by blue rib- bon:3.

They are really only speak- ing of recent French poets, but these who look at them eannot di- vine that. "He is not my cousin, and he does not solicit my assistance," says Dorothy Usk, seeing the fig- ures in her garden with some dig - pleasure. "Je ne fais pas la police pour les mitres; but if he asks me -what you ask me I should give him the same answer that I give to you.'' "Ile is probably independent of my assistance," says Gervase, with irritable irony. "Probably, says his hostess, who is very skilful at fanning faint flame, "he is not a man whom I like myself, but many women, most women, I believe, think him irresis- tible." Thereon she leaves him without any more sympathy or solace, to go and receive some county people who have come to call, and who converse principally about prize poultry. CHAPTER X. Lord Gervase- was eight years younger when he wrote .those let- ters than he is now, and he has un- pleasant recollections of unpleasant passages in them which would compromise him in his career, or at least get him horribly talked about, ;not inclined to break off lus visit were they ever made sport of in the 'abruptly and go to Sc,otlanal, Ger- world Where are his letters1 Has many, or Norway, as might be Mine.

But he baps elicited no response, She has evaded without directly avoiding grim. She is no longer the impres- eionable, shy girl whom he knew in Russia, weighted with an unhappy fate, mid rather alarmed by the very suecesses of her own beauty than flattered by them. She is a woman of the world, who knows hex own value and her +sea power to charm, and has acconreal the 'talent which the vandal teaches, of .reading the minds of others with - cot revealing her own; Saute ple- later the Petersbarg court ladies had used to call her in those early times when the tears started to her eyes so quickly, but no one ever etres tears in her eyes now. Gervase is profoundly troubled to find how mueh genuine emotion the presence of a woman whose exist- ence he has long forgotten has pow- er to cxeite in him, Ile does not like, emotion of any kind; and in all his affairs of the heart; he is accus- tomed to make others stiffer., not himself. Vanity and wounded vae- ity enter so largely into the influ- ences molding human life that it is very possible, if the .sight of hire had had power to disturb her, the renewal of association with liev would have left him imnioved. But es it is, bo has been piqued, morti- fied, eisciteal and attracted • and the admiration which Blenforti and Lawrenee Hamilton and other men plainly show of her is the sharpest spur to memory and to desire.

Everything is pos- sible in Russia she sa.ys, and has a way of saying this which seggests unfathoura.ble abysses of license and name. No one has the slightest idea what she means, but no one will be behind any other in conjecturing; and there rises about the unconsci- ous figure of Xenia Sabareff ahaze of vague, suggested, indistinct iius- picion, like the smoke of the blue fires which hide the forrn of the Evil One on the stage in. operas. Btanford ,perceives it and is deeply irritated. "What is it to mei" he says to himself, but says so in vain. Fragments of these ingenious conjectures and imaginary recollec- tions come to his ear and annoy hire intensely; annoy hire the more because his swift intuitions and un- erring perceptions have told hire from his own observation tbat Xenia Samoa:off does not see in Gervase altogether a stranger, though she has greeted him as such. Certain things are said which he woold' ince to resent, but he is pow- erless to do so. COIPPLED BY, IIN{UMATISM Suffered Tortures -Until "Isruitsiatires" Took Away Tito Pida.

POTASH 115E5 UP LIME. When potash salts are applied to a soil the potash enters into cent- bination with the soil lime, and is converted into a form in which it is available for the erop, but it is also a form sin which a portion of both that potash and th,e lime is apt to be lost in the drains. Hence it has been said that potash uses up lime, and lime uses up potash. It is for this reason that farmers who are in the Labit of applying potash salts in liberal quantities to their crops, such as regular grow- ers of - potatoes and mangolds should be careful every few years to give a dressing of lime, other- wise the crop may buffer from a deficiency of this eonstituent. , In addition to being a necessary plant food, lime also" exercises an important ameliorating' influence on the physical condition of the soil, breaks up stiff clay soil, and helps to bind tight open soil. It neetrelizes the motion of acidity of soils, and helps the disintegration of organic substances, Lime dis- (deltas' employed, is orle of the most useful friends of the farmer. 174689 quickly woos coadhe, owe tee throat endlenee 'that has been accomplished sedative itsed in Florence and s Languedoc, where you meet few persons not hav- ing a pot thereof."
