I was right about that man -'le did
not even seem to remember me yes-
terday when Dorothy introduced
him to me, and he never came near
me again.
She gazed out at the lawn, and
watched Orawshaw as he lounged
up and clown beside the Hon.
Maude, indefatigable as ever.
"How he brings back the past!"
she mused. "I seem to "be once
more in that wretched street, see-
ing him come up from the timber
yard. How funny life is! How lit-
tle did either of us dream that our
paths would lie in such a different
world! Money has not improved

as cruel as he always was. I could
have struck him yesterday for his

auris, and kissed her rounded
cheeks.
Once again her mind recalled the
past hours, and smiles and blushes
chased each other across her faee;
then the peaeeful mood was gone,
and she sat gazing out over the
silent garden• with a heart chilled by
presentiment and sudden fear.
"If I could but sec him for one
short minute 1" she whispered to
herself, "Who knows, perhaps to-
morrow—" She stopped short.
What would that morrow bring?
She pressed; her hands to her eyes
with a gesture born ofthisvague,
ineoinprehensible fear, and at this
moment a' tap came to her door,
and a voice called "Nancy

dressing -gown, and her short gol- and for his cowardice when he kick -

"Oh 1 Nancy, you are not in bed.
I am so glad. What do you think?
I have' dropped my horseshoe
bangle somewhere, and. oh! I am so
afraid it will be lost!"
"I. will go and search for it!"
Nancy cried, at oace.
"No -no! you will be frightened,
• and I won't let you tire yourself
like this, I only came to tell you,
because I knew you would be sorry.
Nancy, you shall not go!"
But Nancy had already tossed off
her pretty gown and donned some-
thing more serviceable; despite all
and everything Dorothy could say,
she was determined.
"Well, I will come at least as far
as the stairs with you. 1 almost
think I left it on the piano in the
ball -room."
' With soft steps and lighted
candles, they stole along the corri-
dor and reached the stairs.
. Then Dorothy gave a shriek apd
dropped her candle.
"Oh, Nancy!" she exclaimed, "it
is Derry, I -I can't let him see
me like this!"
And.with that she fled back like
a bird. Derrick Darnley strode for-
ward in haste. •
"What is it?" he asked, sternly.
I, Ho had been smoking in the wide,
open hall entrance, and evidently
_. he imagined burglars. Then, as
his eye caught the trembling figure
in the little cotton gown, he rush-
ed toward' it. "My darling 1" he
murmured, seizing her hand.
Nancy hurriedly explained her
presence there. -
"I have the bracelet safe in my
pocket. I' saw something on the
floor and picked it up. Here it is
-give it to Dorothy with my love.
Uh I must.; you go, my sweetest
one?"
"It -it is almost morning," . she
said, tremulously. "You will see
me then.",
The man .released her "band, then
snatched it again, and drew her
hack.
"Kiss ate good -night," he :whis-
pered. "Cruel child, ,do you know
• .that you never evengave me a look
fiust now. Oli, my darling! my dar-
• ling! for God'g sake do not tor;

Slim .clung to him with a passion-
ate di:operation that arose from the
presentiment that came over her
lue1. now,
"Derry you will love me always
aleays?" she asked, agitatedly.
"Can you doubt me?" was his
answer. given reproachfully.
"While life trans in my veins, :Nan-
cy, I shall love you and none else."
Their lips met; and then she
shrunk away.
"I must go," she said, shyly.
• "hood -night•• -good-bye, my leve 1"

I hated him for his cruelty I"
There was a hot flush on either
cheek, but after a few moments it
died away, and smiles came again
as Darnley's loved image pushed
all thought of the detestable mil-
lionaire from her mind. She was
quick to see he was nowhere in the
garden, and her heart beat with
mingled excitement and tenderness.
"He is waiting for me down-
stairs," was her happy thought,
and at that very moment Dorothy's
maid entered the room, carrying a
bunch of lovely roses in her hand..
"Mr. Darnley asked me to give
you these, miss," she said, pleas-
antly; • Nanny was a great favorite
with all the Hall servants.
Nancy turned away to hide her
blushing face. ,
"Put them down, Baines," she
said; "and thank you very much."
"Mr. Darnley said as I was to
be sure and bring them early, and
I was to tell you that he has writ
down the names of 'em on the piece
of paper stuck in the middle of the
bunch, miss."
Nancy parsed; she did not quite
understand' this, but she made no.
remark except to thank the maid
once again.
The instant' she was alone, she
took up the flowers and kissed them,
then drew out the little note.
"My own dearest one," she read.
"As ill luck will have it, my mo-
ther has suddenly received the most
urgent business summons from her
agent in Lincolnshire, which neces-
sitates either her presence or mine
without delay; and as she is, un-
fortunately, far from well this

went slowly downstairs and out in-
to the hot noonday,
CHAPTER X,
A whole long day had gone, twen-
ty-four of the forty-eight hours
which must expire before Derrick
Darnley's beloved could hope to see
him again. It was a very long day,
and so Nancy hats confessed to her-
self as she came slowly downstairs
the morning after,
Every one seemed to be unsettled
and out of sorta, except Mrs. Darn-
ley, who, despite she illness which
she professed had prevented her
from attending to her business, still
managed to enjoy the summer sun-
shine in her own peculiar chilly,
way.
Dorothy Leicester was undoubted-
ly out of temper, and poor Lord
Merefield was almost worn to the
verge of exasperation by Ella
Chester's attention.
To Naney's intense' delight, Mr,
Orawshaw had taken himself off to
his own house before she had left
her room, and, following Mr. Darn-
ley's example, it was given out he
would be away two days.
"I seem to breathe more freely
when he is not here," Nancy said
to herself, on this second morning,
"although he has forgotten me;
and treats me, fortunately, with
such undisguised contempt.''
She . was seized upon at once by
Maude Chester.
"Come and play tennis, do, Miss
Hamilton."
But Dorothy happened to pass at
that moment, and rescued her
friend.
"Nancy, I want you," she said.
"What is it, deer?"
Nancy put her arm affectionately
round the slender form.
"I am tired and cross."
Dorothy dung herself into a low
garden chair.
"I wish," she said, with a peev-
ish frown, "that Aunt Anne would
take her departure, she upsets me;
look 'at her sitting there with her
cold smile; she was no more ill yes-
terday than I was, and yet she must
needs send Derry off when every-
body wants him."
Nancy colored vividly, and then
her heart sank suddenly. Not •i: til
this moment did the memory of
Dorothy's undoubted predilection
for Darnley retell, t, her; his ab-
sence was the cause' of all this sulky
depression. It was he who made
thesunshine of Dorothy's life as
he made the sunshine of hers. She
felt a choking sensation creep into
her thoughts, and, rising abruptly,
she moved away.
"Where are you going, Nancy?"
cried_ Dorothy, languidly.
"To the rose garden," was her
terse reply. As a matter of fact,
she did not know where she was
going.
A horrible problem had rushed
into her mind -was, she robbing
Dorothy Leicester of the man she
loved? She who owed all she pos-
sessed to Dorothy, was she taking
from this girl, her friend, her bene-
factress, the one thing she trea-
sured above all the world? If so

was ever face to face with.
Here, in the very spot where Der-
ry had first spoken his love, she
must fight it out -she would fight it
out.
* .10'
An hour had passed, and still she
sat there, ignorant that a pair of
brilliant black eves were fixed on
her like a serpent watching its
p7ey.
Though after thought c,'o sed her
mind, yet no solution would come,
and though it all was the try

Traveller's Terrible Experience in

tors of one night when the pests
invaded his house,
I heard voicee calling, "Get up
-the ants are on us 1" Sitting bolt
upright, I found the room appar-
ently in darkness. In reality, the
lantern on the floor ab the foot of
the bed was' still burning, but as
I threw my hand out and felt the
heavy weight of the mosquito -net,
I suddenly realised that it was coat-
ed with ants so thickly that it kept
the light out as effectively as a vel-
vet curtain.
Two bounds took me out of that
mosquito -net and the hut, but it was
an uncanny feeling when my feet
crunched through the living carpet
of ants. Hitting the side of the
doorway in my hasty exit, I brought
down a shower cif the little pests on
my head and a.oulders from x
af-
er,
wall and roof, and then the
full began.
Some people say that the ant
buries Isis head in you and leaves
it there, others that he drives some
other part of his body into you, I
didn't worry about examining which
theory was correct -it did not affect
the torture of the result. For the
next ten reissues I was standing in
a state of nature in the open, the
rain beating down, and the boys,
hastily roused, picking ants off my
body by the light of torches.
I was so engrossed in this new
sport that I quite forgot abort
Lees; then I suddenly realized that
he was not there. I won, a moral
V. C. by going into that infernal
place and hauling him out. He was
a pitiable sight in the torchlight,
his hair waving as if in a breeze,
as the ants crawled through it, his
body black with them.
To pick them off was too slaw a
job. I. seized a, tin of kerosene oil
and poured it over him, sweeping
the enemy off in thousands. One of
my hammock boys rushed .up with
a flaming torch, meaning, in the
kindness of his heart, to give master
more light. I. yelled to him to keep
away, and he, thinking he was be-
ing urged on, dashed toward us
quicker than ever. Luckily, Lees'
000k stopped him in time, and a
tragedy was averted.
We spent the remainder of the
night under a tree. In spite of the
discomfort of it all, -the persistent
rain, the mist, the smarting pain of
the, ant bites, -we could not help
laughing at the idea of our help -
lameness against the little brutes
that were occupying_ our comfort-
able hut. However, the only thing
to do was to wait patiently till they
cleared out.
THE WORLD EVANGELIZED.

When all mankind shall turn to

Thou art in triumph leading.
And where Thy servants swiftly

Thy kingdom is expanded;;
And soon by them there will be

That which Thou least command-

Help us to yield to Thy control
And march with ranks unbroken
'Until to every human soul
The message shall be spoken.
May this wo'rld's kingdoms yielded

Themselves before Thee casting,
And thus become as ruled by Thee
A kingdom everlasting.

While at Thy call they seek to give

EWE AND LAMBS.
Much of the difficulty at lambing
time will be avoided if the ewes have
been given proper care.c luring the
few months covering the period of
pregnancy. Ewes that have been
handled and taught to yield to kind
treatment aro easy to handle during
the lambing period.
There are various problems at
lambing time that are puzzling to
the experienced shepherd, yet I am
safe in saying that most of these
problems are the result of negli-
gence or the wane of the care and
shelter, Thousands; of lambs are
annually lost that might have•beee
saved if the shepherd had bad the
patience to see that they received
their first nourishment.
So long as the ewe is doing well
it is prudent to allow Nature to
take its course, but in case she is
experiencing difficulty it is often-
times very beneficial to assist her
in bringing forth her young. Many
times the lamb is abnormally de-
veloped with a large head and a
little assistance will prove very
beneficial and conserve the strength
of the ewe. Any assistance should
be very gentle and administered in
a manner that will not excite the
ewe. Show the ewe her lamb at
once, for many shepherds believe
she is more apt to disown her if
she does not see it soon afted it
has dropped.
Ewes that are heavy with lamb
should be handled very carefully
and all openings where they pass
through should be wide enough to
prevent crowding. .Many dead
lambs are born when the ewes are
compelled to pass through small
openings and kept in a crowded
place. The ewes should not be
sheared before the lambing season,
for many times the handling will
cause them to bring forth dead
lambs.
Garget is the worst complaint to
contend with and' is very common.
It may attack and destroy half the
value of the udder without any ap-
parent outer manifestations. It is
often caused by exposure of the
ewes lying down in a damp place.
Taken in time it can often be cured

things women find useful.
