"Nancy -is it you -really you,

*fro mhis lips, while such a look of

He gave a quick sigh.

He wastrying to move himself in-
to a sitting position.' He could not
touch anything with his hands;
they were covered with blisters,
and were completely useless.
Nancy saw his difficulty,. and a
lump rose in her throat.
"Let me help you," she mur-
mured; and, owning forward, she
put her white arms round hint.
The man's pale 'face flushed, his
breath -came in quiok' gasps. It
was like a glimpse of heaven to be

from her old friend, rD. Grantley.
Her new relations, Sir John and
aL' dy
Hamilton, had sent her a
oostly present before she left town,
Nanny received it with pleasure,.
for she had a 'kindly thought for
these people, through her sincere
liking for her cousin Darcy.
She little knew wh,at hopeses were
built on that liking by the ambi-
tious mother and father! •
-The inclination to remain alone
and continue her sac!, hopeless
thoughts deepening, Nancy drew
up a chair and sat down in it be -
fere the fire.
The back was turned to the door,
and half -au -hour, perhaps an hour
had passed, when some one entor-
e•ti abruptly and Lord Merellc1d's
voice said, sharply and anxiously,
es Nancy rose with a atart-:
"There, old follow, sit there ;
I'll be back with some brandy in

He pushed, or helped zone. one
to the couch ass ho evoke; and
Nancy, grown very pale, caught a
broken whisper:

The whisper iros so eager., Lord
Morefic:lel could -do nothing less
than obey ; but, as ho turned,
Dalnle,y s' head fell back against
the chair, and he hall fainted dead
away.
In •e second Nancy had moved
hurriedly yforward.
"What is it?" she cried, a.gitcat-
oily. "What has happened?"
"Lord Merefleld unuttered an ex-
planation hurriedly. Ono. of the
wreaths -of evergreens had taken

Dorothy's only answer was a
kiss, and a very tender one.
°'I may argue just as much es I
like, but you will be firm all the
.same ; I know you. Now I must go
back; you will ,00nte, darling,

"In a moment" -Nancy answer-
-ed.
She filled up the cheque she had
written for 13'e.nton, . then, putting-
it, in an envelope to give to the
housekeeper, she rose to marc
t'ay, when an uncontrollable iim
pulse ntacle her turn to the fire and
stand there.
She was very miserable; with all
hoer heard resolutions and bitter
contempt, her love lived as strong-
ly as ever for this mass.
Yes, despite everything,.and the.
long ,year's training she had given
herself, she knew she loved ltiim
ebill, her heart was still thrilling
with the excitement Dern ley' s
presence brought. Even while she
knew him, by his own mother's
word, to be unworthy and dishon-
ored in her sight, she yearned• for
him; his near presence tortured
her.
While she was standing quietly,
Janet came in with some letters iu

He put out 'his right and to- gent-

jured flesh rut/bed her gown, he
uttered a groan, and his eyes
closed again, as in another faint.
Nancy's own eyes were full of
tears.
"Oh, what shall I del -what
shall'I do?" she cried, in anguish.
"Derry -1 Derry I"
• The dark lashes were lifted for
an instant.`
"You are sorry, 'dear?" he ask-
ed, with a look of unutterable ten-
dernesb. 'You are . sorry for me,
Nancy? My darling! -my dar-
ling!'
His head sank forward, and was
pillowed ou the girl's soft, white
throat, as the door opened, and

Merefleld made no sign as he
saw Nancy's arms round the half -

some raw ,brandy and put it to

saw Janet already busy with the
poor, maimed. hands, she gently
disengaged herself and went softly
away -a Broken sorb in her throat
and a mist of tears in her eyes.
' rr * * * 41
An hour later a knock at her
door aroused her. She had flung
herself down in an agony of grief
when rho reached her room. Her
ears rang still with Derry's ten-

thrilled yet with the memory of.

She started to her feet as the
knock came.
"If you please, ma'am, Mr.

would kindly go and speak to

notice her mistress' white face acrd

There was a flush on his face and
a strange look in his eyes.
"This is kind of you, Mrs. Craw-
sham,.'he said, in quick, low
tones,•" I dared scarcely hope yeti
would cone so: soon."
His eyes went to her delicate
throat; was it a dream, or had his

nearer.

Nanoy picked up the letter with
a trembling hand. It was a very
long one. Mrs. Darnley -hod writ-
ten it many days ago, and, accord,
ing to his cabled orders, it had
been forwarded to .him' with . his
other .correspondence to Ripstone
from his chub.

simple, of her share in the fraud

• Nancy's lips quivered as she put
the letter clown. A flood of sea-
reproach and remorse rushed into
her heart. She •moved forward.
"Derry," she whispered,
"Derry-." - _
As she lifted his dark eyes, she
flung herself at his feet.
"That I should have been so eas-
•ily deceived! That I should have
wronged you so, my own -my best
beloved!"
.Heedless of onjuring them fur-
ther, he stretched out his maimed
hands to help her to rise and, see-
ing this, site got up quickly: and
clung to him.

As he kissed Cr brow, her wet

SIIII\T'GLI'I S,
A person of an etymological turn
of mind, seeing a Case of well -
marked .shingles, with 'rho little
blisters SO clued;' 'set as almost to
overlap one another, night think-
the affection well named from the
shingle, of a roof, but the word
is really a asrriiption of the Latin
eingulumf meaning a girdle,' The
herrn wasapplied because of the
arrangement of the eruption, whith
eiecirele the body, or ono lateral
half ,,f it, like a belt. The 'soien-
tific'term is zoster, or zo:ra, from
the Greek words for girdle or belt,
Shingles, or zoster, is a skin
eruptiiln due to disease of one of
th•e cutaneous. nerves whioh run
from the hpinal cord round the
hart' tci the middle line in front.
The eruption always follows the
course of rite affected nerve, ceas-
ing abruptly at the front, unless
the nerves on bothsides are of
feete,d, when in encircles the body
jest like a girdle.' This complete
forts is fortunately rare.
The eruption consistsof a suc-
oession of hard blisters like. those
of a gold -sore or -fever-buster, so
ooeasnon on the lips. It begins in
the form of 'reddish patches, upon
which pimples and then small blis-
ters form. Tbese. blisters are ar-
ranged in groups along the course
of the affected nerve, or they may,
in severe cases, run together,
forming an almost unbroken line
round one-h'alf elf the body or faoe
For the -first three or four days
the contents of the blisters are
watery; th•en they become cloudy
the patches turn brown, and final
lydry and forts yellowish crusts
Poo n few days or a week preceding
the eruption neuralgic pains are
felt in the part to be affected, and
during the eruption the pain is of
ten very acute. In children, curd
ously enough, the pain may be ab
sent.
The attack is usually ushered in
'by fever, sometimes slight chills
and a feeling of general illness
The 'eruption may appear all a
Moe, or may occur in several sue'
oessive crops,' taking a week or
more for its full development.
The most serious form is that o
the face, for it often results in se
vere.aearring, and may even atitaek
the eyeball. The pain usually sub
sides when the eruption appears
There is -no treatment which wil
certainly cut short the attack;'and
the most that can be done usually
is to protedt :the blisters fruit irri-
Itatien of the clothing or other in-
rjury. This is done by applying
'soothing powders of starch or oxid
?of zinc, painting the blisters with
'collodion, or applying court-plas-
'ter. Afte,r'the attack the patient
mtay need tonic treatment for a
'while.
There is generally only one
tack,. Where there are repeated
recurrences there is usually some
underlying fault of constitution
which calls for careful, systeniritic
medical treatment. -Youth's C'um-

No Need to. Tura Elsewhere for
Trude iu bulks Products. -
The old fable about the dog with
the piece of meat in his month,
jumping into the water atter.,a
shadow, and in tate end losing the
good morsel he had at first, may be
applied very aptly to the country,
which has splendid markets at
home, but becomes discontented,
and although not half realizing the
importance of its natifral heritage,
looks: abroad for trade it knows not
of, Such, is the position in which
soma people weuld place Canada
in her present relations with the
United States. I3tit the facts do not
warrant Canada looking away from
her home market.
The home market is, taking, eigh-
ty per cent. of' the produce of the
Canadian farms at good prices.
The demand of this market is in-
ereasi?ig and it -will continue to in-
crease as the cafin:dry -grows.
It has the advantage of nearness,
stability, cheapness of transports-
tion and quickness of returns.
The Canadian farmer is familiar
with its conditions anti require-
ments.
And . yet, withal, the Canadian
farmer is inclined to look beyond
this market with longing eyes to
the market of the United States,
forgetting, perhaps, that the Unit-
ed States farmer is looking with
just as longing eyes at the C'ana-
dian market.
There are at least twelve farm-
ers iu the United States looking
longingly at the Canadian market
to one farmer in Canada looking
at the United States Bracket.
Let us remember that there are
at• least twelve tines as many
farmers' in the United States as
there are in Canada, and so, while
one Canadian farther will get en-
trance into the .markets of the
United States, twelve American
farmers will get entrahcc into our
home markets. They have already
sueeecded in selling immense quan-
tities of farm products in Canada,
in spite of the duty. They have
sold twice as lnuelt in Canada as
Canadian farmers have sold in the
United States.
With reciprocity in farm products
the twelve American farmers will
ero.wd the one Canadian farmer
pretty closely in his own home
inerket,
The surplus production of the
United States farmer would be li-
able any time to demoralize the
home market of the Canadian far-
mer.
It will cost the American farmer
no more to bring his farm products
to Canadian tow»s and cities thee
it will cost the Canadian farmer to
carry his to the United States,
These American products are
pretty well kept out now by the
tariff wall. With this removed
they will enter twelve; to one.
We must remember, too, that -the
Americans have the earlier season,
a5sd that their products will there-
fore be upon our markets before
our products are salable and get
the early price, -

LITTLE HINTS.
lurnitere Polish. -The best and
cheapest furniture polish is cedar
It can be purchased from any
good furnO4osee house. Take a yard
of cheese cloth, vlivicle it in half.
Now wet one piece in'coid water
and ring dry ; then pour en es -much
oil as you have water; now rub the
furniture lightly; fellow with dry
cloth. This may be used on the
.finest ftu'nitnre, and also on polish-
ed floors. It requires very little
rubbing.
Caviar Sandwiches. -A dainty
sandwich to serve with iced tea: is
made of caviar. Take a slice of
bread and cut from corner to eor-
ner, thus making four little :dia-
mond shape pieces. Spread the
caviar oa two opp cite pieces of
bread, and on the other two p'e^e:
place a small piece of lemon. This
makes a cool tench for hot after-
noons,
Nut Balls. -One cupful of cold
chopped' veal, twelve chopped
blanched almonds, one-half tca-
spoo>nfal of salt, one egg, pepper

ri4LVES AND SKIM MILL .
Contrary to ' vi''+•at noose ' pool'

raise calves successfully on skim-
nilk, says it correspondent, The
say to do is to put the youngster

ed the mother for two or throe
lays, end let it get hungry. Then
take some of the mother's milk and
teach it to drink, which should he •

trials, Feed it three times a day,
and at first do not give it more
than a gallon of milk'oach day in
the three feeds. If the calf does
not seem to be very strong, give
it a fourth feeding at bed time.
Always give it milk warm from the
cow until it has a good start and
is drinking well, Continue this
practice for a fortnight.
Then begin to feed in skimmillc.
Mix a teaspoonful of flaxseed meal
with a teacup of warm water and
set it on the back of the stove for .
a few minutes. This mix with ono
quart of skimmilk and one of new
milkand feed it three times a day,
always at a temperature to blood
heat,
Next, gradually reduce the new
milk.,and iocrea .e the .skimmilktos
til at the age of one month the,
ealf is getting three quarts of
skin -milk and one teaspoonful of
flaxseed meal three times a day.
See to it that the milk is always
sweet. This is a point of the ut-
most importance. Furthermore,
never overfeed. Overfeeding our%

and gi-v-lex • next- tint•- until it
has an appetite for three quarts
three times a day, seldom any
more, and as no two calves are

each its own ration according to its
age.
When the calf is a month old •
begin to feed it a little hay and a
few oats or a little meal, so as to
keep it growi:Ig thriftily. Though

ADOPT GRADING SYSTEM.
Thequestion of grading cream is
attraetiag the attention of cream-
ery operators more than it has in
Past years. It is a subject of vital
importance to the creasoery inter-

fortunately no scientist has been
able to evolve a process for the
manufacture of good butter from
.poor cream. If we are to have a
good uniform grade of butter, the
farmer must deliver a uniform,
good grade of cream. Uniformity
in dairy pre duets is one of the most
essential things in their manufac-
ture. People acquire tastes, and
in -order to be satisfied, the acquir-
ed tastes must be satisfied. Joel
J. Winkler, State Dairy and Food
C ummissiuner of .Minnesota, assist --
ed in opening a new Creamery in
Ivlinnesota where the management
intends to buy and pay- for cream
according to its quality. It is the
first'ereamet'y nt the state to take
this step; it is a co-operative
creamery, and if the patrous will
work together there is no reason
why this method will not prove
successful Several other cream-
el•ies in the crate have adopted the
foil,wine standard:
All milk or cream containing 1.5

PAINTING 1?AR11T M1C+HINERY.
Iron or steel surfaces should be
carefully cleaned, by means of a
steel wire brush anti emery paper,

affording better protection. Tho
rusting of farm machinery is no

it is pitintecl by the dipping pro -
