Tho next morning every ono was glad to hear that Zavortal's predic- tion had been verified, and that Lord Darranmoro was not much the worse for his faint at the dinner - table. It got to be generally known throughout the ship that the boy's heart was affected and when he came on deck during the peening, looking pale and seedy, ho became the victim of a universal sympathy which didn't best please him. "ft's all rot," was his indignant mel* ly when I met him and remarlced that he would have to "go easy" and take care of himself. 'There's nothing the matter with me --at least, I nevor had anything the mat- ter before. I, expect 1 had too much of that meringue cream," Theweather continued fine and sunny, with just enough breeze to revive the jaded among the pa..'sen- gers without making them .unoom- fortable. Being now clear of the Channel, my presence on the bridge was seldom _required, and I contrived to have several delightful chats with Aline, Mrs. Brinkworth discreetly making opportunities for a portion of then to be tote -a -tete. At the same time I did not allow my love affair to obscure my duties to the other passengers, and I worked hard to add to the general yacht -like life on board. All sorts of amusements in the musical anr• theatrical line were being projected, the doctor showing untiring energy in discover- ing amateur talent whore it might least have been expected. IIe even laid an embargo on General Waldo to give a character recitation from Rip Van Winkle at a variety enter- tainment that he was planning for the succeeding night, Tho Yankee, veteran was discussing Zavortal's en- terprise in a constitutional wo took together before tiflin. "Wonderful puslling fellow, this doctor of yours, Captain," he said, as we paced the deck. "You and he are just cut out for running a mar- ine hydropathic show like this. He's an old partner of yours, I reckon," "On the contrary, I've only known him a week," I replied. "This is my first voyage In the Queen, you must remember." "Ah, but friend Zavertal iasn't always been at this game, I opine," returned Waldo, with ern Impatient gesture and ono of ifs quiyafcal glances, "You can bet he qualified in a wider school than 'kis. I guess- ed you might ]rave pulled together previously." "No, teeneral," I said, wondering a little at his persistence after my first denial. "Tho doctor and I 'aro quite new acquaintances, though I must say that I hope we shall one day bo old ones. Ito is a pleasant companion to sail with, and about the best man for the berth of ship's - surgeon I ever carne across." "A responsible position—that of ship's doctor," remarked Waldo, more thoughtfully than as yet I had heard him speak. "It entails the power of life and death—the porfoet- ly unchecked-. power of life and death," On the top of this conversation I was .rathor. amused when Zavertal on the same afternoon took an oppor- tunity of mentioning •Waldo to me from much the same point of view. "Fine specimen of the globe-trot- ting American, that neighbor of yours at the saloon table," ho said. 'You and he seem to hit it oll to- gether uncommonly well, sir." "Oh, he is all right—up to date," I replied. "Perhaps one might gct bored in Ulna with his everlasting yarns of Western life." "I thought you might have met hint before—you seemed so friendly," Zavertal said in the careless tone of one who really wants to know. "No, I never saw the General ho - fore on sea or land," I said, "Ho is not the sort of man one would forget either. Ile has a peculiarity. Ile strikes me as being a little morn 'twangy' than most Americans of his class nowadays." "You are right," replied the doc- tor, "and it is bound to be genu- ine. That is about the only thing an American wouldn't exaggerate purposely." I had got pretty intimate with Zavertal during the four or five days we spent together before the ship sailed. I had told him of the •Am erican, Kennard, who had called at Nathan's office while I was waiting to be engaged, and I had since dis- cussed with him his strange for- r_.h , To n Fee .s e ers ns AU Who Are in Low Vitality Have Reanon to Dread the Coring Weeks—Fortify Your Systerol by Using OR.

'ries, !roe -onto folturo of his passage, Zavertal re- marking playfully that perhaps the gentleman with the pistol had met him again and load not been so for- bearing'. I was now on the point of mentioning casually how for half a second on the previous night 1ya1- do's oxprt asion had reminded me of the absent passenger, but some ono hall, t.dle1 n from the bridge and the subject dropped• A little later on the afternoon of that third day out Zavertal propos- ed a game of 'hide-and-seek, and was soon surrounded by a number of younger passohgors eager to join. Several of them olid in turn, and were found in moro or less probable hiding-places—under the companion stairs, behind the piano In the anisic room, while ono adventurous maiden gave a longer chase than usual by stowing herself in the flag -locker be - hied tho aft wheel -house. Then it was Lord Darranmore's turn to hide, and the sear'elhers all retired to the dome over the saloon -stairs while ho concealed himself, Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth,in common with a number of other. non -players, were sitting under the awning watching the game when it chanced on to the upper deck, and chatting to myself and to General Waldo, who by thio time was on speaking terms with every living soul. on the ship. Thus we four were together when Lord Darrenmore came out of the deck -house to hide. The best placeson the upper dealt having already been exhausted by other players, the ladies expressed' the opinion that he would have to go below if he was to show good sport. "With due submission, I guess not, " remarked Waldo. "The young'un has got a best bower to ploy, to judge by. his .manoeuvres." It seemed to me that the General was right. The boy did not hesitate for an instant, as if doubtful where to go. but turned and went forward 011 the port side till he came nearly abreast of the doctor's cabin, op- posite which our steam -launch was slung., -The davits supporting it were turned inwards over the deck to prevent any risk of losing the launch in heavy weather, so that it was ac- cessible without danger of falling overboard. It was covered with a tarpaulin, and to reach it would be necessary to swarm up the davit, but these difficulties were not going to deter an agile Eton boy from availing himself of a hiding -place so likely to be overlooked. Zavertal was standing in tho door of the companion -way ready to give the word to the searchers, and he smil- ed and winked at us as the young Earl began to slain up the davit loand-over-hand. Darrienlnoro soon got a grip on the bulwarks of the launch, and we watched hint raise the edge of the tarpaulin, duck his head beneath it, and slowly wriggle out of sight. As soon as no had disappeared Zaver- tal gave the word to the seekers, acid they came trooping out of the com- panion -way to commence the search. The quest had hardly begun in earnest when Lord Darrannoro's head reappeared trout under the tarpaulin, and it was seen that bis face wore a toluic expression of 010011 and excitement. "I say, thisgame's of," he cried, clambering out of the launch. "There's a chap hiding in there al- ready," "Nonsense, said Zavertal, going up to him as he reached the deck, "You must he mistaken, Lord Dar- ranmoro. There can't by any one there." "I toll you I'm not mistaken." re- torted the lad hotly. "There's a man lying huddled up in the bows. I heard 11in1 breathing first, and then I put my hand out and felt him." "We'll soon settle it," I said, d joining the group with Waldo and a number of other passengers. "Here, Smith," I added to a quar termaaster who was passing, just take a look under that tarpaulin, nein see if you can catch a stow- away.'• But before the order could bo exe- cuted the boy's statement was veri- fied in a different way. Tho tar- paulin over the bows of the launch was raised, and a head coveted with touzled black hair appeared, Pre- senting such a woebegone figure of fun that some of the passengers laughed. Tho apparition looked like a foreigner, and certainly did not be- long to the ship. As for myself, I felt considerable anuoyanee, for a stowaway was a pest against which I had taken no precautions, it not occurring to me that any ono would try to sneak a passage on a ship not known as a regular "liner." "Come down out of that," I said, "We will see if wo caujt find you better quarters in the bold with a brace of anklets to steady you." But the Hereat fell flat, "No spik Ingleeso. Angry," moaned the stow- a01ay, o "Por fellow, he means that he is hungry. Don't bo hard on him," pleaded Aline, who load come up with the rest, and to that sweet inter- vention tiro stranger owed the treat- ment that was mated :out to him. By signs he was at length induced to leave the launch, and on reaching the deck loo stood revealed as a tall, finely -built fellow with features that, despite their extreme swarthiness, Wore by no means ill -looking, 7a vet'tal, who was a master of many languages, tried hien with several, and at last pronounced him to be a Spaniard and a ship's steward by calling, Wllo, failing to find a berth of a 91111) going to Spain. had taken this way of getting hoine, "Very well," I said ; "we will al- low him to work his way, but he shall not get off too easy. IIe must go the round strip with us, and wo will leave hula at Gibraltar or Lis- bon on the homeward voyage, Off with him forwardand give him some recd." ]try verdict shaving been translated to 11131, he was taken in charge by the quartermaster, bowing and scraping ]his thanks. Tho excitement lasted tiro passeegol's the rest of the afternoon, ;Lord 1)arrannor'o Creating 1110011 amusement by taking all the credit of the capture. I heard Waldo drittying him on the subject of his discovery, "1 guess you were never smart enough to think of the launch to hide in ,yourself ?" said the General, "Well, not quite," admitted the boy reluotautly, And who might have been respon- sible for that bright idea '1" caked the old gentleman, It was the doctor who.. put me up to it," said Dalmanmore. Waldo did not pursue the ,natter furtlher, but walked away with a queer shrug of hIs shoulders. That night at dinner the swarthy Spaniard, washed and brushed up, took his place among the assistant stewards who waited at Zavertal's table, CHAPTER VIII, The run acmes the clay Of Biscay was accomplished in fine weather, and on tho morning of the fifth day out, when the passengers came on deck, Gibraltar was its sight right ahead. By the time breakfast was over we had threaded our way through the coal -hulks, and the Queen of Night lay at anchor a quarter of a mils from the New Mole, In a twinkling silo was sur- rounded by the usual medley of shore -boats, manned by the jabber- ing.hucksters of water -melons and grapes, Away, on the hock the bugles were soundipg merrily for. morning parade, and even from our anchorage the great grey 111008, with the straggling town at foot, Was soon to bo as gay as a geranium bed with the blaze of British scar- let, My instructions from tole owners were to allow a clear twenty-four hours at this port. to enable the passengers to go ashore and explore it thoroughly. Numerous parties had already been !OO11Led for the purpose, and our boats were soon busily engaged in transporting sight- seers to the landing -place. Among the first to start was a boat -load g personally conducted by Zavertal, comprising Lord Darramnore and his c tutor, Mr. Orlenar being also with the party. The latter had been e drinking heavily ever since he carne s on board, and 1 heard the doctor h trying to induce 'lira to remain quietly on the ship snider the pre- text that the excitement of a day's outing would be injurious to hint. But this representation only had the effect of increasing lois determina- tion to go, and Zavertal yielded— somewhat too readily, I thought. Aline and Mrs. Brinkworth had a ar- range(' to join a party which was e, going under the escort of General t Waldo, and at the last moment, finding that there was nothing to s• keep nie on board, I decided to ac- a company them. On landing we e strolled through the main gate and u up the steep street t0 the post office for letters and telegrams. On en- tering the building we were met by the doctor's party just leaving after making a similar call. His convoy were mostly busy with their corres- pondence, but 'Gametal himself le crammed a cablegram ho was read- ing into his pocket, and calve up to me, loolcing worried and anxious. "That infernal fellow, Orlobar, has given as the slip," he said. "Per- haps I ought to have been more careful, but as ho gets all he wants on the ship and I didn't think that he would seize upon the chance of a shore racket. I expect he's soaking himself in some wino -shop by this time." "I shouldn't trouble about it," I replied. "The man is a free agent, and so long as he doesn't mako him- self personally offensive to others we can't very well control hini." `uaiZ'V,a�ilalmlyWr ii -1 ON THEFAR1 OZOG 141:6111 wQxtfi: en TIM FARM.

SHAPE IN PRUNING, The normal shape or a well trained apple tree Is that of a vase. Three or four lead branches start from the trunk, as low us possible. This is convoliient in gathering the fruit, when the wagon may be driven between the trees, and the bulk of the fruit gathered oy hand without a bruise, and placed direct- ly into the barrels. It is a bar- barous way to beat the three with poles, and bruise the fruit this way, and thus lessen its selling value one-half or two-thirds. In- deed, the fruit may be picked and wrapped in soft paper, and put in the barrels or the boxes once for all, and the selection thus made at the first handling, lessons the cost of this work ono -half on the start. This inay be clone if the trees aro headed low at the planting, and the pruning is done to complete the work year by year. It is thus seen how valuable may be the tvorlc of shaping the trees at the right time in several ways. And the right bine is just now. When the well pruned tree is viewed from a short distance it will appear as a gracefully foam- ed spreading vase through branches of which the light conies freely and evenly, The trunk will be clean and smooth, and the limbs free from cross branches and long slender twigs. , IMIGII GRADE POULTRY. Producers of high-grade poultry neat must learn to improve its at- tractiveness by shaping. Shaping troughs and boards can bo used by anybody after an'cxperimont or two. High-grade poultry in France and England is always shaped artificial- ly. At the Canadian stations when tho chickens have been picked, the shaping -board or trough. is used. That may be a board six inches wide, placed against a wall at an BONE FOR POULTRY, Wo may obtain some eggs for win- ter use without feeding cut bone, but by its use we can materially in- crease the number. The owner of 100 hens is losing the price of a good cutter every winter by de- priving them of the material which Ile would bo able to furnish at a very small cost. We have discovered that for early hatched chicks it is indispensable. 10 raise strong, healthy, vigorous chicks_ a sub- stitute most be found to take the place of the bugs, worms, etc., on which they thrive so well later in the season. A mineral substance is also necessary for hardening the frame of the growing chick and ex- poriments have proved that chicks fed nn green cut bone aro never subject to leg weakness. But it is as a winterfeed for laying hens that we derive tho greatest profit from it. BABY BEEP. If the farmer will produce baby beef, he can fill his pasture to the b full limit with cows producing calves, and he will realize on the calves 12 months from the date of ' their birth. Capital is turned an-' e mucky instead of once in every three t years. The farmer's grain will pro- duce from 50 to 100 per cent. moro ,n pounds of baby beef than it will of beef from a nature steer, and for h the past three years the baby beef w animal has sold for as high prices;e per hundred as has the average! steer. In producing baby beef, the 1 w farmer can market his heifer calves p at the 801/10 price as his steers, and s Will usually got more for the 12-: f months old, heifer than he would for the same animal if kept until ma- turity. )OJII PUVJETY KILL LOVE? TUE WIFE FINDS 7:132 STETTG. GLE TSE g'AI1AER•, No Womac Qan W- ithstand tho Trial When Her Children Suffer, The old story of love in a cottage sounds No romantic, so sweat in courtship dayg, but when once the cottage becorjr ,agf"actual fact and all its accessories' art; in keeping with its dimensions, thein the quos, tion : Does'poverty kill love ? ase sumes a serious aspect. As a rule, be it acid, with a man poverty does not materially atleot his affections, but than it is 'seldom, that the stress of strained circum- stances falls upon the husband, From a business point of view, his clothes roust be fairly smart and up-to- date ; his food must be of a fairly substantial order or his health would suffer, and tho home be worse off than ever, Noisy or crying children are not permitted to disturb ]tis rest lest he be unfitted for his work. and, though perhaps oho may not have as much money to spend in frivolity or luxury, as in the bygone days of wealth, nevertheless he is not harassed to any groat degree With the wife, however, things are very different. From . a financial point of view it is not necessary, that she should dress in the latest fads of fashion, so she appears sea- son after season in the same gar- ments, and misses the prime joy of a woman's life—bargain hunting, and rushing after milliners and dress- makers. The question of diet, too. resolves itself into how much she can do without, while holidays and outings are items unrecorded in the programme of her life. Tho problem of making both ends meet Is sorely trying, for the mere plan, be he rich or poor, having handed his better half THE ALLOWANCE he can afford for the maintenance of his home, does not worry as to how. it is expended, so long as nothing further is demanded from him finan- cially. And the girl who leaves a rich home for the love that is pro- mised her in a cottage, seldom if ever, realizes all that will be de- manded of her in the way of self- abnegation and sacrifice. For mar- riage and courtship aro estates as widely apart as the poles themselves and when the commonplaces of the former overshadow the illusions of the latter, love is apt to fly at the chilling touch of realism. Friends, too, do not flock to the new home as they did to her father's house, and, feeling lonely and deserted, she is then apt to blame the man for whose salve she has given up every- thing. Unfortunately, men do not see things in the same light, so with the first word of grumbling or re- crimination all the lover vanishes, and a husband aggressive and un- sympathetic, much after the typo of other women's husbands, is left in his stead. Cupid looks on awhile, then departs to pastures now, where love promises to develop greater excitement than that afforded by the tiffs of his erstwhile lovers. Where sudden change of circum- stances makes domestic retrenchment necessary, the case is even sadder than that of the young wife, for. where thele are baby lives to suffer, the iron strikes very deep into the mother's soul, and it is here that poverty kills love with one fatal blow from the sword of Fate, for unless the father's affection be very strong, VERY TENDER IN AFFLICTION, no woman can withstand the trial that is so peculiarly hers where It touches her children. But at the same time it must bo remembered that love alter all, is but a human emotion, subject, like all other feelings, to fluctuate with the environment of circumstances: Love, however, differs from other emotions in one respect, and that, is, it is capable to a great extent of Bing controlled by the being loved, Thus the man on whom Fortune has frowned, may defy poverty to 1ci11 or even mar his wife's love, provid- d his owl affection will stand the est of trial. His must be the strong man's arm to fight her weak wo- man's battles, for though his bo merely the task of sympathizing in er difficulties that very sympathy ill go half -way towards over- oming them. Isis love roust also be sealed in patience, for a tired eary woman, fretted with the ever' resent worries attendant upon traitened means, is apt to be very ractious andeven trying at times.
