OR, A LOOK INTO THE PAST
CHAPTER XVI.—(Oont'd) ber day when Des:rick Darnley drove
All this flashed through his mind
as he sat gazing at. her from "be-
hind the open newspaper, while the
train flew through the lovely 'come
try and approached the London
smoke,
"She shall love me/' he said to
himself. "I'll knock all thought of
that fellow from her mind before
I'm many days older I I've bought
her—she's mine, body and soul'
and I don't mean to share her with
no one.'
And havingarrived at this deter-
mination, Orawshaw summoned Ms
valet from an inner compartment,
and ordered him to open some
cllarnpagne without further delay.
Lilce most ignorant, vulgar -mind-
ed people, Mr. Crawshaw had an
extraordinary predilection for im-
bibing the most costly champagne
at the strangest hours. In his for-
mer life he had been noted for his
temperance; in fact, he had been
• almost a total abstainer from li-
quor; but with riches and idleness
this good habil soon vanished, and
he found it necessary for his
strength and his dignity to have re-
course to' frequent stimulant, which
unfortunate custom was followed,
as it could not fail to be, with la-
mentable results. Nancy started as
she heard him speaking, and, lift-
ing her head from her hands, leaned
back against the cushions with
closed eyes and pale, wan face.
Her thoughts had wandered, as
she sat motionless and silent, in a
misty, unconscious way, to the rose
garden; she could, feel the . soft,
warm air as on that by -gone sum-
mer day; the scent of the perfumed
flowers seemed to steal into her
very heart. How gentle! how peace-
ful! how happy it was! and then a
sense of deeper happiness still
crept over her. She beard in fancy
that quick. firm step; she felt the
dreamy enthrallment of his pres-
ence; she heard again Ms soft, ten-
der voice, his hands touched hers,
and with a start the mist was scat-
tered and the vision vanished.
She was in the saloon carriage
speeding through the autumn -ting-
ed country; speeding away from
Ripstone Hall, from Dorothy, from
dear, kind, genial Sir Humphrey,
from the sweet, loved gardens, the
affectionate, generous, indescribab-
ly dear atmosphere of home — she
was going from all this to what?
Her eyes opened involuntarily
and rested on the man opposite,
that :creature, with: his common
person, his cruel, swarthy face, his
mean, cowardly nature—that man
was her husband, her companion for
life, through good or ill.
A wave of utter repugnance
rushed into her throat and almost
choked her—the sacrifice of that
moment seemed greater than she
could bear.
Orawshaw's eyes met hers,
strained with pain and horror for
the .time cut of all likeness to their
former i '.uty.

"You look like a ghost with that
white face; take a drink of 'this,
Nancy, and then wake up. I didn't
marry you to let you sit in a cor-
ner all day. von know."
She crouched hack for an in-
stant, then, scarcely knowing what
she clid, she snatched the glass from
his hold and flung it out of the win-
dow.
"Leave me to myself !" she cried,
passionately, madly, "or if you will
not,I will throw myself out of the
carriage as I have just flung away
that ,glass
There was a dangerous earnest-
ness in her intensity of manner that
impressed Crawshaw; he waited a
moment, then, with a short laugh,
he turned and went hack to his
newspaper and his corner.
"She'd do it, t':1,, I do believe!"
he muttered to himself, and then
the li ht seem in his eyes again.
"Never nl:,:d, whatever happens,
I'm her piaster, and she shall know
it soon enough!"
CHAPTER XVII.
It was a dreary, dismal Novem-
oneo more through the well-rememe
bored London streets. He was
bronzed almost beyond recognition,
but the old bright look had died
out of his handsome gray eyes, and
there was a moody, disappointed
expression ever present on his face.
He had come back suddenly and
unexpectedly, and, having deposit-
ed his luggage at his old chambers,
he drove first to his mother's house,
and then on to his several clubs.
It was, perhaps,' a relief to find
that Mrs. Darnley was not in town,
having started already for her usual
winter sojourn at the Riviera. Der-
rick had half shirked a meeting with
his mother. She would remind him
too clearly of that summer time at
Ripstone Hall, when the roses had
reared their beautiful faces to the
sunlight, and shed their perfume on
the soft air. He nad guessed by
some vague way that his mother
had gauged his secret, and he
shrank from the comments her lips
might utter on the girl who had
so cruelly blighted his whole hap-
piness.
Yes, whatever hard or bitter
thoughts he might harbor against
Thomas Crawshaw's wife in the
depths of his heart, he had not ar-
rived at a sufficient degree of
strength or hatred to permit others
to breathe them in his presence.
He dimly felt that his mother
would have nothing pleasant to say
on this subject, and might perhaps
have probed him disagreeably as to
the cause of his sudden disappear-
ance and still stranger silence. So
it was a genuine sigh of relief that
he gave as he learned from the ser -

cheered,
"This is Friday," he mused, "and

hopeful. Poor old uncle and poor
Dolly She must be terribly out up.
I wonder if any one is with her. She
ought not to be alone. I will go

the evening express."
He sat down and wrote out a tele-
gram. His brow was drawn and his
mouth set with grim determine -Eon.
A sudden fear had come into his
mind. What if he should meet
Nancy there! What more likely
than she should be with Dorothy at
such a time?
It was because he loved her still;
because, despite her mercenary,
oruel conduct—despite all hie ef-
forts to crush her out of his mem-
ory—that she grew there stronger
and, stronger each day, that the
man feared, yet longed, to see her
again.
It would be joy to gaze on her
face once more, and pain indescrib-

But he had scarcely got through
half a page of the first letter he

she wrote, "whether this letter will Darnleyhave fallen beneath love's

that he was so weak as to let the

sweep away all that hitherto made

Derrick Darnley sprang from his

with mingled amusement fed curio-

dreary as it was, he was not coward
enough to dream of ending.
"Dear, though the days have di

er by the sense of desolation, of de-
spair, that surrounded her image.
It was a curious fancy, but Darn-
ley had grown to think sometimes
of the Nancy of those summer hours
as of a fair, dead creature—some-
thing to mourn and to worship;
something that, though she was

man's thought to himself, as he
learned backin his corner with

His dark eyes were fixed on the
gloom of night outside. There was
a dissatisfied, uneomfortable ' ex-
pression in them.

CHEAP TELEPHONE SERVICE.
British Post Office Takes Over the
Country's System.
By the end of the year the Brit-
ish Post ()Moe will take over the
management of the country's tele-
phone system from the private com-
pany which has hitherto controlled
it, and the British public does not
regard this particular nationaliz-
ation project entirely without mis-
givings especially in view of the
fact that the direct control by the
State of the country's telegraphs
has resulted in a loss of $50,000,-
000 in the last fory years and that
the present annual loss is well ov-
er $5,000,0x0. Business men are
afraid that red tape will hamper
the .quick and cheap telephone ser-
vice that everyone wants.
"Almost every European count-
ry has secured a cheaper and bet-
ter telephone service in the last
few years than England bas done,"
said G. Dalzell head a telephone
authority, who is in Read,
after
having inspected the German, Dan-
ish and Swedish systems.
"A telephone at $10 a year is not
an impossible dream, but it is a
perfectly sopnd business proposal
if the systems continue to expand
at the present rate. In Denmark,
already, outside Copenhagen, the
annual subseriptlon for small ex-
changes is $11 and additional calls
may be obtained at the' rate of
$5.50 per 1,000 calls.
"Sweden, too, has a most ef-
ficient and moderate priced tele.

A MANURE SPREADER.
The modern manure spreader is
built so as to give sufficient caps•
city for a largo load and unless the
ground is dry and level three or
four horses should be attached so
that wie may facilitate the work,
Owning a manure spreader sti
muletes us to get the manure out
as fast as it is made, preventing all
loss from heating and washing. It
spreads the manure more evouly
than it could be done by hand, ho
that it covers mora acmes with the
same good effect to the land covered
that it would have if 'a, large amouut
were d by hand
We have
appliefound during the recent
years that there is a loss of forth
ity when manure is spread in too
large quantities. The manure
spreader is a great economizer of
labor, which is a very important
item .to be considered at the pre-
sent time.
In buying a manure spreader we
should note very carefully taw
strongly it is built at the places
where the wear and tear will be the
greatest when the maoniae it in
operation. 'It should distribute all
kinds, of manure -evenly. There
should be the eame quantities
spread on the outside as in the cen-
ter of the space being covered.
This is a very important point to
be considered in selecting a ma-
chine. With any make of spread-
er care should•be exercised in load-
ing if the machine is to do its best
field work. It: will pay every man
to investigate these points before
he buys a machine. On the average
stock farm tho ,machine is a good
investment..
POINTS OF A DAIRY COW.
The five points to be observed in.
selecting a good dairy cow was the •
subject of a recent address made
by 0, 0. Gregg at the Saint Johns
Farmers' Institute.
First—Large bogy and especially
middle piece, indicating a capacity.'
for eating and digesting a lot of
ifood.
Second—Thinly fleshed backbone
and especially back of shoulders.
This indicates that the food is not
made into flesh,
Third—Large udder, as it is hero
that the milk is made.
Fourth—Large milk wells. It is
through .these that the blood re-
turns to the heart from the udder.
If they are large it indicates that
a largo amount of blood passes
through the udder.
Fifth—Large clear eyes. This -in-
dicates good nerves, and they drive
the organs of digestion and milk
making.
He said that a sixth point could
be added—the scales and the Bab-
cock test. _ 1/4
NOTES 01? HOG RAISING.
If you are quite sure that alfalfa
will not grow on your land, try Es-
sex rape. It mak...s fine hog pas-
ture—some farmers even going as
far as to say that it beats -clover,
which, of course, it does not.
A lousy pig is a eure sign of a
poor farmer. Once thoroughly. in,
fasted, the only way to get rid of
the vermin is to dip the pig with
some good disenfectant.
In dipping pigs groat caro .must
be exercised to saver every part of
his body from tail to snout. If a
patch as big as a thumbnail is left
untouched it may contain the nue
leus of a new crop.
Many farmers use a boar of dif-
ferent breed of that of their sows to
produce a cross. Sometimes this is
good practice for the first cross, but
the sows from: such a Dross should
cover be bred. •
