CHAPTER ITT.—(Cont'd)
Nurse Wortley was delighted to
-see the girl and welcomed her
warmly.
Nancy debated in . her own mind
whether she should speak of the
wonderful offer 'that had been
made to her, and decided not to de
so.
"Perhaps by to.norrow
Dorothy
will have forgotten all about it,"
she thought; "least said soonest
mended," •
There was a long letter from the
doctor to give them. food for con-
versation, and they chatted oh so
long that it'chimed half -past five
before Nancy imagined it was near-
ly so late. .
"Take care of yourself, dearie,"
Nurse Wortley said. "Ah!. Miss
Hamilton, my- dear, you have won
golden laurels for yourself over this
case. •Ripstone does nothing but
talk about you; and as for Sir
Humphrey—well he was riding
past here yesterday and he told me
sou were an angel." .
Nancy laughed, then kissed
Nurse
.Wortley, and took her de-
parture. It was just growing dusk
when.she started on her long walk,
but she did not mind that, she was
afraid of nothing or of no-one'liv-
Ing except Thomas Moss, ' and he
was not likely to trouble her now.
She hurried on through the vil-
lage till she reached a small gate
that aclmitted her into the Hall
grounds, and pushing this open,
passed through. As she did so she
heard two men's voices speaking,
and stopped involuntarily to lis-
ten;
is-ten; the next instant she was tremb-
ling all over and blushing crimson
with shame and mortification.
Just to her right hand were two
men sauntering along slowly, and
smoking.
"The whole thing is preposter-
ous!"
reposter-ous!" one was saying, in a clear,
sharp voice. "Leicester must be
alit of` his senses to entertain it
for a second."
"Or et least` until he has discov-
ered something more about this
nursing girl,". answered the other.
"Put Dolly seems to have set her
mind on it."
"The mind of a child! Why, she
would tiro of this Hamilton woman
in a week, Merefield. But that,
after all, is aside from the question.
The thing is that Leicester must be
maria to see how wrong it would
be to have a person of this stamp
brought into his house as a, daily,
hourly companion for his daugh-
ter. Good gracious! for aught we
know, she may be one of a gang of
thieves, or something worse 1 I
shall be very firm to -night, and—
And the two young men paced
slowly away into the dusk and sha-
dows, and Nancy heard no more.
She was very pale as she roused.
herself and continued her walk to
the Hall.
"Was I not right? ,How well I
know the world!" she said, bitter-
ly. "I am condemned already.
Well, perhaps it is for the hest. It
wonld have broken my heart to
have listened to such words' after
I had agreed to stay l Now my de-
rision is taken. I shall refuse Doro-
thy's offer ; and Mr. Darnley's an-
aoyance and anxiety ,about oto shall
be at rest."
She .found her patient very tired,
and rather 'cross, and Nancy un-
lcrstoocl at once that something
lacy been said to vex her. But Miss
Leicc.sic.1' made no remark, only
liglicd with :relief as she laid her
;olden Hemel os the pillow and drop-
ped into sloop, while Nancy sat in
the twilight by the fire, and tried to
rend her future - in the blazing
.`cols.
She heard the young :snort return
to the house and - go up to their
rooms to dress for dinner; and see-
ing (het the invalid was not likely
to want her for'somo time, she stole
softly away, and went, downstairs
bo find Sir Humphrey.
She know where to look torhim,
In his cosy. "clan," where the tro-
phy ofmany, a splendid run hung
i n the walls, and the dogs slumber-
ed and reigned monarchs of all the
chairs and cushions they could find.
Knocking, nhe 'entered quietly,
`tend. found the genial owner was
not there hilt het mind was mado
ep, and she determined to wait and
,peak to -him without delay.
She moved up to the fire, anti'
neeling down, patted and caressed
.e slogs, who all knew her well,
et-
atearrose to her eyes
as she
led how great was the ifhold •
lir to .her, end the difforenee in
lot she refused from the sone
would call her own. Then,
!the footsteps, she rose to her
it, aunt turned as the door opened
white hair, and white beard, and
his handsome, pleasant face, but a
young man, tall, dark, with a pair
of deep -gray eyes that attraeted
immediate attention.
"I beg your pardon," he said,
drawing bank. Nancy colored .viv-
idly, bowed very faintly, and pre-
pared to go.
"Pray do not let me intrude,"
Derrick Darnley hastened to say.
"I have only sauntered in here from
sheer idleness, while you, no doubt,
have another and better reason for
your presence."
"I wonder who she is," he
thought to himself. "Leicester did
not tell me he hadany guests here."
"I wish to speak to Sir Humph-
rey on business, certainly," Nancy
replied, coldly, after a moment's
pause, "and, therefore,• with your
permission, I will remain."
So saying she turned to the fire
again, leaving Darnleystaring at
her graceful back and the loose coil
of red -brown hair that finished off
her dainty little head. She had not
had time to change into her nurse's
dress, so there was no outward sign
to indicate who she was.
"By Jove!" the young man said
to himself, "it's very odd, but I
could declare I have met her some-
where before; yet she doesn't know
me."
Sir Humphrey bustled in at this
moment.
"Hello, Derry, my boy 1 Ah l
Nancy, child; so you two have made
friends already I see; come, that is
good—very good."
Darnley started as if he had been
shot. This girl was Nurse Hamil-
ton, the nursing girl, the adventur-
ess—it was impossible. She looked
a mere child.
"I have not had the honor of an
introduction to Miss Hamilton,
Leicester," he said, hurriedly,
"and so,•perhaps, you—"
"Itis scarcely needed," broke in
Nancy, clearly, fixing her magnifi-
cent blue eyes on him proudly,
"since it is not likely that Mr.
Darnley and I shall ever renew our
acquaintance; there is nothing in
common between us; for aught he
knows about me, I may be one of
a gang of thieves or, perhaps,
worse."
Darnley . started as if he had
been shot; he recognized his own.
words, and his brows contracted,
but before he could say anything
Nancy had gone quietly on, and in.
gentle and grateful terms had
begged leave to refuse the offer
made to her by Sir Humphrey and
his daughter, Sir Humphrey was
more than disappointed, and urged
the girl in every way he could to
reconsider this decision.
"My. darling will break her
heart," he said, in 0 troubled way;
then, turning to the young inan,
"Derry, won't yen try and persu-
ado Miss Hamilton to do as we
wish I"
Mr. Darnley was silent while his.
uncle did all in .his power to in-
duce the, gixl to throw aside her ob-
jections and gratify; Dorothy and
himself.
"I cannot, Sir Humphrey,"
Nancy" said, . ovea and over: again,
"I cannot. Please let mo thank
yea for the kindness, the generos-
ity which prompts, your offer, but
the suggestion you have both made
to me is an impossible one. I am
not your daughter's equal; Yam
a woman who, must work for her
living, and I do notfearto wart--
indeed, I would rather have to do
it than leach a life of luxurious de.
pendence."
"Well, well, my dear,' you know
best, of course, but we will net de-
cide this to -night; sleep on it;
things always look different after a
good night's sleek. •What is ;t
Chadbrand7"
And. Sir Humphrey went out of
the Croom to speak to the butler.
Left alone with this strange girl,
Mr. Darnley stood staring at her
until she, grew unuolnfortable, and
AS she moved to leave the room he
stopped her.
"Toll' me," hesaid, quietly, "if:
you had not overheard my words
to M:erofielcd, would you have been
inclined to eeeept my uncle's al-'
ler?"
"I do riot recognize yoer right to.

haughtily,
"Because I feel that I was both

"On my honor, I mean no in-

proof of that, I beg to add my

He flinched at her sarcasm.
"Will you not believe me?" he
asked, slowly. s'
"I really cannot see what it mat-
ters whether I believe you or not."
As she spoke she lifted ,her eyes
to his face, and the blaze of the
fire fell on them.
In an instant he hadreeognized
her..
"Stop one moment," he said,
hueriedly. "I own I am a conceit-

I venture to say that your nature
is one that would never forget a

Am I right?"
Nancy nodded her head.

them,"; she said, smiling faintly. .
"And that if it were in your pow-

difficult, ..you would do it3• Once

"Yes," was the 'reply. •
"Then," Darnley said, quickly,
"I want. you to'' do me a kindness

fortunate enough to .render you one
night, some time ago, when a cow-
ardly rascal was endeavoring to—"
Nancy gave a little cry.
"It was you—you who helped
me, then? Ala! how can I ever
thank you!"
Her voice, full of gratitude, rang
in his ears like heavenly music. He
suddenly experienced a curious yet
delightful sensation.
"You can best thank me by show-
ing that you forgive me for the un-
just. suspicions .I. entertained
against .Miss Hamilton in consent-
ing to become Sir Humphrey's
daughter and giving my pretty lit-
tle Cousin Dorothy the dearest
wish of her heart."
He stretched outhis hand as he
spoke, and Nancy put hers into it
sh"ly.
How do you know that you will
not tire of your new acquaintance
in a week?" she said, rather tremu-
lously.
For answer his fingers closed over
hers, and the compact was sealed
in that mutual handclasp.

It .takes more than a homiletical

You can never climb into the

quence.
Many a good sermon has come to
an untimely end by lasting too

THE LIPS IN .GOLD WEATHER
The lips are sensitive in 'cold
weather on account of the extremes
of temperature to which they are
exposed—the warm breath from
within and the frosty air without,`
as well .as on account of the thin
membrane which covers them.
A healing 'lip salve *is made of
sweet oil, one ounce; white wax,
one ounce; spermaceti, one drachm.
Put in a piece of alkanet root to
dolor it while melting. - Strain and
add a few drops of perfume.
When the abrupt and annoying
little eruption 'commonly called
"cold sores" appear, iI touched
frequently at the very beginning
with spirits of camphor or powder-
ed alum they will often dryup and
disappear. Sometimes a mixture
consisting of one teaspoonful of
glycerine, and five drops of carbolic
Lucid is efficacious. They usually re-
sult from some digestive derange-
ment.
VALUE OF DEEP BREATHING.
Deep breathing is, essential to a
full chest. Open the windows for
five minutes at a time night and
morning, and standing erect, draw
deep breaths, using the abdominal
muscles to control breathing, . Hold
as long as you can without strain-
ing the muscles and exhale slowly
and repeat until there is a sense of
fatigue. Be sure you are well
wrapped up.
DOG'S COLLAR, $2,750.
Two thousand seven hundred and

small diamonds, costing about
$1,000, was sold to a society lady
for her pet pug og. It is fashion-
able in France to put gold brace-

Oil the Farm
WILL FERTILIZERS PAY 9'
The aim usually in the use of ar-
tificial fertilizers is to supplement
soil 'supplies of plant food as to
obtain a profit, and the profits for
the different crops will, to some ex-
tent, be in proportion to their eco-
nomical use of the constituents ap-
plied. Still one should not be de-
terred from the use of fertilizing
materials, even if the conditions
should render the application ap-
parently wasteful or a small re-
covery of the constituents applied,
provided the increase in yield will
more than pay the cost of the ap
plication. The farmer should cal-
culate what increase in crop it is
necessary for him to obtain in or-
der to make the use of fertilizers
profitable, and if only this is ob-
,tained he should not condemn
their use. Many persons seem to
have got the impression that there
is some mystery connected with
fertilizers, and that their use is a
gamble at beat, and are not satis-
fied unless the returns from the in-
vestment in them are disproportion-
ately large. We very often hear
the statement that by the use of
certain 'fertilizers the crop is
doubled or tripled, as if this were a
remarkable occurrence and par-
took of the nature of a mystery.
Such results are not mysterious—
they can be explained; they are in
accordance with the principles in-
volved.
In an experiment ou celery it
was shown that the weight of cel-
ery from an application of four
hundred pounds an acre of nitrate
of soda was two and one-half times
greater than that obtained on the
land upon which no nitrate of
soda was greater than that obtained
on the land upon which no nitrate
was used, and that very great pro-
fit followed its use. This result,
while remarkable in a . way, was
not mysterious; if all the nitrogen
applied hacl been used by the crop
there would have been a still
greater increase. It simply showed
that where no extra nitrogen had
been applied the plant was not able
to obtain enough to make the crop
that the conditions of the season
and soil in other respects permit-
ted. In other words, the soil did
not contain a complete -food. and
the nitrogen was necessary to sup-
ply the deficiency. Favorable con-
ditions are, however, not uniform,

return of $50 an acre from the use
ef.$5 worth on nitrate of soda on
crops of high values, as, for ex-
ample, early tomatoes, beets, cab-
bage, etc. This is an extraordin-
ary return for the money invested
and labor involved; still, if the
value of the increased crop from
its use was $10, or"liven $8, it
should be regarded as a profitable
investment, since no more land
and but little more capital was re-
quired in order to obtain the extra
$5 or $3 an acre. .It is the accu-
mulation of these little extras that
oftentimes changes an unprofitable
into a profitable practice.—Prof.
Voorhees, New Jersey Experiment
Station.
POULTRY POINTERS.
Barley is between corn and wheat
infeeding value.
The early laying pullets are the
most prolific egg producers.
The ideal art of feeding is to give
enough without completely satisfy-
ing the appetite.
Any old hen will lay in early
spring and summer, but it is the
profitable hen that will lay from
now 00, while eggs are high.
Curtain front houses permit ven-
tilation without a draft and keep
the fowls dry and healthy.
If you have a special city trade
for your poultry products, attrac-
tively, neatly delivered goods holds
and wins the trade and brings the
fancy prices.
Don't close up everything tight
just because cold weather is here;
fresh air and sunshine aro two ne-
cessities for the perfect health of
fowls, and to get the best results.
When the ground is cold, damp,
and frozen, biddy wants her dust
bath. This can be provided by
placing road dust that has been
stored away for this purpose or by
sifted soft or hard coal ashes placed
in a box near the window where the
sun rays will strike it.
The droppings should be cleaned
from the houses at least once a
week, and where there are many.
birds twice and three times is none-
too
onetoo often. A dry placeshould be
provided to store them until want-
ed for fertilizer. Hen manure is
very valuable as a fertilizer, and
Should be considered as a part of
the income from poultry. If the
by-products of many large manu-
facturing plants were wasted, there
would be no dividends paid. Tho
manure is one of the by-products
of the poultry yard.
Thinking of Building a Silo ?
Better Build it
of Concrete
THE1 construction of a Silo affords
an excellent -example of what the
farmer can do with Concrete—
and ofthe superiority of Concrete over
all other material for various structural
work about the farm.
Tha usual wooden silo, besides being expensive, is far
from satisfactory, In the first place, it does not endure;
and, more important still—being far from weather-proof
.—its contents become water-logged•—produeine an unsan-
itary condition,
A Silo built of Concrete, on the other' hand, is
practically everlasting —it is proof against heat, cold
and moisture—and It has the merit of comparative
economy.
