proposes and Providence disposes,
and the hours that stretched between
Norah and him were many, instead
of few.
He did not return to Winchester

that his step was not nearly so lignt

"Well? It's not well, but bad,"
responded Cyril, impatiently 'I

"Here you are instead, That's not
very complimentary to me; but no
matter. And what is the 'matter?"
"It's that confounded old fool,"
said Cyril.
"Meaning my Lord Nowell? How
respectful these aristocrats are to

"No, nor dinner, nor anything, ex-
cept a glass of sherry at Moses',
which has nearly cut short my dis-

"Then sit down, mai, and eat.
There's a chop left—I've kept it

wise stout. A banquet for the gods,
to say nothing of a viscount," and
he produced the chop and a potato
from the patout cooking stove, and
set them before him; and while he

tale.

As the Santleigh carriage drove,
into the avenue, Nurah saw a throng
of People, gentle and simple, peer
and peasant, strolling about the
latus, which were dotted with tense
e.nd marquees, all bright with flow-
ers. A military band discoursed
sweet music, and some of the spurts
were already to progress. The clay,

The moment the carriage stopped,
Lord and Lardy Ferndale calve up,
and Lady Ferndale kissed Norah
a maternal warmth,
"Isn't it delightful—the weather, I

She had as niany invitations to

could well accept, and for the next
two or three days she went to one
place and another, and found herself
the queen an'i heroine.
As Lady Ferndale had said, she
was "a success."

a girl it means being surrounded by

The day wore on most successfully,
and in the latter part of the after•
noon, when the fun had waxed de-
corously furious, Novell missed her
father,
'Mei earl has gone home, 1317

laugh. "I think Ile has behaved

Norah going up to Lady Ferndalo's

room, she felt rather tired, not so I
touch physically as mentally. Thera
is notating that is so exhausting as
hope deferred. All day long she had
been looking and longing for Cyril,
and now the shades of evening had
fallen and he was still absent.
Sho stood looking at the dancers
in an absent, preoccupied fashion,
and so lost in thought that she
started palpably when a voice at
her side said:
"Will you give me this dance, Lady
Norah?"
It was Guildford Burton.
A refusal rose to Norah')) lips, but
she checked it. If she refused him
now he would probably ask her
again, and, thinking that it would
bo best to "get it over," she yielded.
To hen surprise, he danced admir-
ably. With the cool presence of hind
which characterized hive, he steered
her through the large crowd with an
apparently effortless ease, and unlike
most man, found breath to talk as
he danced,
"What a delightful day it has
been!" he said, 'Thanks to Lady
Ferndale—and yourself, Lady Norah"
he added in a lower voice.
"To me?" said Norah, "Why to
me'?"
"Because you have the spirit of
the whole thing," he said, quietly.
She missed Cyril, with his hand -1 am sure," remarked Norab, "How

FALL CARE OF COWS.
We are nearing the time when the
cows will begin to go into the stable
nights writes a correspondent. With
some of us this will be when the
frosts commence, and with others,
who have comfortable sheds, it may
be a little later. There is a tendency
on the part of many who aro other-
wise good farmers to postpone the
flay just as long as possible. We
dread the work of cleaning stables,
and the task of keeping the cowa
clean is more or less burdensome to
us. But more and more we aro coal-
ing to see that the success we make
of the season's work dePonds upon
how the year rounds up. The late
fall milk is the richest of any of the
season, and if we can keep up the
supply we will add considerably to
the profits of our work during the
year.
It is some work to keep a lot of
cows clean in the stable. No one
will deny that. But the farmer who
cares anything for the real comfort
of his herd will willingly do all in
his power to make them as neat as
possible. Here are some of the things
he will do:
First, he will have the platform on
which his cows stand slant backward
slightly. Not too much, for that
would tiro and perhaps pornanentiy
injure the cows that must stand upon
it such a large part of the tine. Hu
will see to it that the long cows
stand where the platform is longest
and the short ones on the shorter
planks, He will do his best to have
the stanchions which keep the cows
from creeping up at tines when they
are apt to foul their sleeping place.
Ile will provide some kind of litter
ou the Boor for the cows to lie on.
This may be straw, if he has it Le
spare, and there is nothing better for
the beddinP than clean straw. Some
have a way of putting the horse
manure under their cows for bedding.
This surely must give the cows rut
pleasant smell and more or less!
taint the milk.
If horse manureis used at all, it
should bo in the gutter behind the
cattle to absorb the liquid Inanutlro.
This is a most essential thing; for 1
the roan who lets this part of his;
barnyard fertilizer 'drip through a
holo bored in the stable floor, in that
way deliberately robs himself. There,
aro not so many of us can alfordto!
do this, aucl yet it would scare us if
we knew what losses we incur every
year through that auger hole in the,
stable Boor.
But bedding and littering the gut-
ter is not all that needs to bo clone
Ito insure neat cattle, There remotest
the most particular work of all.
The man who would keep his cows.
!clean will have a good currycomb?
and brush and keep then in tie'
a
stable within handy reacht nary 1
time, and he will use them, too,
Every day the comb and brush must
be called into play. With me I telco

been out co drink in the forenoon,
1Thou the sides and flanks aro com-;
Iparatively dry, so that everything
may be removed with little effort.
At first sorno of the cotes will not
relish the comb and will step about
uncomfortably, But they soon gee
over this, and in a little while one
may clean off a good sized herd in
a few minutes. I have cows that
will stand about at the work, just
as readily as any horse, and they
seem to enjoy being cleaned off. One
