Lord Cetraron's first sensation on reading the coquettish little note was not ono of unmitigated pleasure. They had been spending a very hap- py week alone, the earl, the a0unt- ess, and Sir Raoul. They had been watching the 'builders' progress, watching the improvements; and the earl was more pleased than he would have eared to say at seeing once more a smile on the faces around him, Me did not fool quite sure at first that ho cared for the coming in- terruption. Ho gave the letter to Lady Caravon, • "If she conies," he said, "it is pretty certain wo must invite a par- ty to moot her." you wish it," said Mildred, quietly. "Then wo will draw up a list of people to invite while she is here. We must have some eligible 'ten." "What does she want eligible .nen for?" asked ITildred, and the two gentlemen laughed at the question. "Is she a widow?" continued the young countess. "One of the youngest, prettiest, wealthiest widows in England," said the earh Lady Caravon felt a vague dawning of jealous dislike. "I am almost sorry that she is coming now," put in Sir Raoul; "we are so happy — all our quietness will be broken up and destroyed," In his heart Lord Caravon almost re-echoed the wish. "There is another thing, Mildred," said Lord Caraven — "Lady Hamil- ton trust have amusement. You will have to lay aside your work for a time and attend to it. We must have a ball we must have dinner parties and picnics, a regular round of entertainments." "Any my work must stand still," silo interrogated regretfully. "I am sorry for it, because I know that your heart is in it, but rank and position have duties that wo cannot ignore. When a lady like Lady Mamilton volunteers a visit, it is necessary to receive her with cour- tesy: You will be able to do so:ue- thing, but not much. She sighed deeply, and her beauti- ful face became sad. •'I am sorry, dear," he said, kind- ly; "but it cannot be helped." He wondered why her face bright-1cned so suddenly, why she looked up 1 with a sudden, glad light in her eyes. He had called her ,"dear" for' the first time in his life, and he had , done it quite unconsciously. Tho word that meant so much to her was j lees than nothing to him, Ile wondered why she spoke in a tone through which sweetest 'music seemed to vibrate. "I shall .not mind at all naw," site said, with a warm flush on her face, and, having no key to her meaning,. the earl said to hinurlf that women were indeed wonderful creatures. With a light heart site sent out her invitations. SIr Raoul wondered when he heard her singing sweet, snatches of song — wondered with a sense of gratification. She trust e r she t she had been, 0 be happier than 5 c , would not be so light of heart. The invitations were all accepted, and duo preparations were 'made for receiving the beautiful Lady Hamil- ton. The handsomest suite of rooms in the castle was set aside for her; there was an air of expectation, of subdued - excitement, that did not quite please the young mistress of Ravensanere. When the earl had, as he expressed it, time to think the matter over, ho was pleased — his wife perceived it in many ways. lie lingered with Sir Raoul, telling anec- dotes of Lady Ilamilton and of her powers of fascination; and then 1111- dred learned that they had been lov- ers when young. "I must not be jealous of this beautiful Lady Hamilton," she thought -- "but it is almost enough to make mc." Tho lovely widow was to arrive in time for dinner. That was one of Lady Hamilton's practices, She liked to be seen first in the full glory of her dinner dress, in the full blaze of her beauty. She lived sole- ly and entirely for her beauty, and for the homage it brought her If site had been suddenly deprived of it,, if any nceldent had robbed her of it, she would have been without a sin- gle occupation in life; sho lived for it, site studied it. What would suit her, what beeeme her, Whet attitude showed her figure to the greatest ad- vantage, what pose was most favor- able to the display of her graceful neck, what jewels looked best on the golden hair, what 'bowers harmoniz- ed best with the face that was like a flower — this was her only occupa- tion. As for really loving any one, she had never done such. a thing. Perhaps the nearest approach to love she had ever felt was the kindly feeling she had had for the handsome earl, She did not marry him be. cause she did not have money en- ough. n-oug ;. She .Was a dear lover of luxury, this ,lovely Lady Hamilton, In all her gay life of twenty-three summers she had known nothing else. She 'wanted jewels to deck her loveliness, site wanted ma'gnlfieent rooms, plen- ty of servants. She loved light, and perfume, and flowers -- she had all the tastes of a refined woman of the world. She liked good pictures, rich, picturesque dresses, and site chose from her lovers the one who could give the most of these things. That was Sir Gerald IIaunilton, Cer- tainly, the handsome earl was bet- ter looking; but, then, she had been told that he was in embarrassed cir- cumstances. She married Sir Ger- ald, who was about thirty years old- er than herself. A magnificent ap- pointment had been offered to him in India; he had accepted it, and Lady Hamilton, because she knew that she should reign supreme there, went with him. The climate did not suit Sir Gerald; he died, leaving her the whole of his fortune, and Lady Ham- ilton returned to England, more beautiful, more charming, more co- quettish than ever. It was said of her that no man could resist her, and that she never scrupled as to whining a heart or breaking it, if only to pass away the time. The visit brought to tie Countess of Caravon a strange kind of fore- boding. "i wonder," she said to Sir Raoul, "if some people do bring misfortune with them. I have an idea that Lady Hamilton will bring evil to me." Sir Raoul laughed, and told her in his simple, chivalrous fashion that a beautiful woman could only bring sunshine and happiness; but the young countess sighed. The young countess resolved upon being armed at all points. ISer Imaid felt that at length her mis- [tress was doing justice to herself, I Sho was that evening very difficult to please — no dress was pretty en- ough; she chose one at length of purple velvet, long, graceful, and made after a picturesque fashion that ITildred particularly affected— cut square so as to show the beau- tiful neck and shoulders, with wide, hanging sleeves, fastened with a dia- mond knot en the shoulder — a dress that was the triumph of geoa taste; no ribbon, no flowers, no ornaments nor trimmings marred its grand sim- plicity. She wore nothing but dia- monds with it — a small tiara that crowned the queenly bead, 3 neck- lace rotund the white throat, a small cross on the white breast, and a bracelet on one of her beautifully - molded arms. Nothing could have been more magnificent, in better or simpler taste. Sir Raoul looked delighted when he saw her. "Lady Ilam.ilton may be. very fair," ho thought, '`but site will not look like Zfildred." The earl did not notice either her face or her dress; he admired her skiil, her genius, but he was certain- ly not in love with his young wife. It was with some little curiosity that the young countess went to meet her guest, Lady Hamilton had been shown into a pretty little boudoir, where she awaited her host- ess, and these two women, who were so strangely to cross cash other's lives, looked almost eagerly at each other. Lady Caraven saw before her a tall, graceful, lovely blonde, whose sunny eyes and golden hair were bright and beautiful, Whose red lips smiling showed teeth like pearls, Af- ter returning in the most musical of voices the greeting of her hostess, she requested that she might be shown to her room. She was in some measure just what Lally Careyon had expected to see. She appeared in the drawing -room two minutes before tho announce- ment of dinner was made, and then HER 0110ICE, "If youse married a title, Clorinda, would youse redder be a dukess or a oarless ?" "I t'ink I'd redder be a coal baroness." Hildred examined her more critical ly. Her entrance made a sensation among the gentlemen. Hildrod stood watching the scene, watching the pretty manoeuvres of the royally i beautiful caquetto, and how soon 'they took effect. Examined critically there was no defect in the beauty of Lady Hamil- lton; she was 0 queen of blondes. Ilex hair had a golden sheen; it was ;soft, fine, and hung in waving abun- dance. It was such hair as rumor gives to Berengaria, of whose golden tresses a chain was made ter a `sanctuary lamp. Her completion I was as fair as the loaf of a lily, with the daintiest of bloom. It was as though one had taken a rose leaf and laid It upon her cheeks, it was all nature, not art; art could not have produced the lovely clear pink that deepened into rose. Her eyes were large blue, laugbing eyes with sunshine in their depths, , with long, black lashes that gave them a most peculiar ebTect, beautiful and fascinating. The loveliest feature in her face was her mouth: it was tete mouth of a goddess, sweet" and proud, sensitive, haughty, perfect in color and shape. Her dress was as beautiful as herself—satin of such pain hue that it was almost white, trimmed with a profusionof white lace. She had a few sprigs of helio- trope in her dress, of which Clower she was fonder than any other. Sho was a beautiful. smiling, graceful Woman, perfectly well-bred, perfeotly elegant, perfectly lovely. When she smiled it was as though the very spirit of love had found a home in her pretty dimples. Ilildred sighed as she turned away. This was the kind of beauty Unit her husband loved—blonde, tall, and graceful. Later on in the evening Sir Raoul mune to her. •'Ilildred," he said, iaa low voice. "how do you like our new acquisi- tion? :She i; just what T •Itoabt she would te" replied the youuti countr •:9-, •'I;eo,a, hers is k!ml ,.f .`n�a�aty that the earl twos. ]de Juo',etl at the noble inee. "Flow do you know that?" lie ask- ed, •1 have heard hire say no very of- ten. Do you think ho will admire her?" "Yes," said Sir Raoul,' frankly. "Every one must admire her. Site is like u picture by Greuze. Hut if you ask me is she worth any expon- diture of jealousy, I answer just as frankly, No." "I am not jealous," returned I111- dred, quickly. "Why should you imagine such a thing?" "I do not say that I imagine it, HJldred; ,1 merely warn you, against it " answered Sir Raoul, ul t "Jealousy is as bitter as death!" The words haunted Lady Caraven. Was she jealous? She could hardly' tell. Her life seemed to pass in n fever of watching — to be filled with a brooding sense of something wrong, of something hanging over nor, of foreboding she knew not why. She only knew that the presence of the beautiful blonde Lady Hamilton was a source of vague torment to her." She was always apprehensive—she 1 could hardly tell of what. She ens of too noble a disposition wilfully to encourage suspicion of any one, but she was ever thinking' n ing• and sur- mising as to whether her husband admired Lady Iinmifton or not. There were tines when she roused herself, and said to herself that it was unworthy of her — that all jeal- ousy and suspicion was miserable — that she would rise above it, and trample it under foot. Then she would find herself watching her hus- hand's face to sec hots it lightened and brightened as ho talked to Lady Hamilton. Lord Caraven she had married without the least pretense of love, Critic in man's iife The Wonderful Benefit to be Obtained by the Use of Or. Chase's Nerve loot!.' When you meet with polo, weak Women who complain of lack of vigor and vitality and sudor more or less in a feminine way, you can be almost sure that they did not have proper care at that critical period in their lives when the func- tions of womanhood were develop- ing.

It is successful because it actually forms new, red corpuscles in the blood—increasing the quantity as well as improving the quality of the blood --and creates new nerve force. :Blood and nervous force aro consumed at a tremendous rate during, this trying time, and Dr, Chase's Nerve Food keeps the supply in excess ofthe demand. Mrs, Coates, 88 Morse street, To- ronto, says :—"My daughter has been using .Dr. Chase's Nerve Food for nervousness, paleness, and a ru'.e- dowh system, and I can say that her health has improved very much un- der this treatment" She used to complain of being tired in the MOM - lugs; her appotlto was poor, and she lacked energy and ambition.

Then came the turning point of her life — the time when she felt sorely inclined to leave Ravensinere —the time when the noble advice of a noble men had saved her, had roused her to action, had influenced her so as to completely change her [life, had elevated her, had given her [an almost sublime idea of her duties and rosponsihilities. She had risen to the call; she had devoted herself Ito the welfare of her husband; she had used all her tritest womanly tact, all her rare grace, all her in- tellect and talent, to rouse 11110 from his evil habits, from his self-indul- !gence, from his neglect of every !duty. She had succeeded even be- yond hor hopes; he was above the average „nw, whereas before .lie had been below It. The consequence was i that she loved hint.

She was not the style of woman that he admired. He lilted blonde beauty; and here, under their very roof, was a queen of blondes — a queen of coquettes, She l'would look sometimes at Lady Ham- ilton and think; "How he must wish that our marriage had been delayed) If Lady Hamilton hail returned a little earlier, her money would have done just as well as mine, and he would have loved her." It was a very natural tbought, but ono that made her exceedingly unhappy. To Lord Caraven him- self the idea never occurred. He had his faults—they worn not on • the score of ittunnrality or impropriety. Ile did not love the wife fate had given to him, but ho' respected her; and, in some fashion of his own, he respected the vague kind of tie that there was between them. .At all events, he then had no idea of out- raging her feelings or insulting her by falling in love with any one else. While the earl enjoyed the pre- sence of his beautiful guest — en- joyed ler• coquetries, laughed and was amused at her flirtations, all in sheer idleness and good humor, his dark -eyed, beautiful wife was build- ing up a theory of her own, and it was that her husband loved Lady[ Hamilton.

THE INVENTOR'S JOKE. 'Phomas A. Edison, tho famous In- venter, has a keen sense of humor, and never fails to vete ft when an occasion presents itself.

This 10 yearly a very necessary eerieto be attended to, if the best results are to bo sought after or expected, And In attending to this matter it might be well first to say that there should be 00 more stock kept than there is suitable accommodation for, and can be well fed and sheltered. To undertake more than this . will usually result in discouragement and lose, And in the selection, of the animals to be kept great caro should be exorcised, A farmer .must have an ideal herd of cows, for instance, if 'there aro not some that fall considerably be- hind the others in production and value. These last are not profitable animals to keep and should bo dis- posodof even if at small prices, and their place filled with those that will give much better satisfnction. Besides, there 1s always a liability of failure of some animate front num- erous causes, oven in tho••best herds, These will Beed to be replaced, 'The best of cows, too, grow old and out- live their teem of usefulness, hence there should be 'youstger-animals coming along that can take their places.. Dairymen in general should make a practice of raising enough heifers to replenish their herds as occasion may require, Indeed, It is better to have some animals to soll at remun- erative erative figures than to be under the. necessity of buying. But every far- mer should bo careful and not dis- pose of the animals that should be kept on the farm, EVEN AT TEMPTING, PRICES, as this might result in serious de- tcria•ation of rho herd, and that should ever be most vigilantly guarded against, It should be the aim to keep the herd so well up in point of excellence that the average individual will be wanted, and at good prices, it will sometimes happen that a farmer may from unavoidable causes, as during the most unfavorable sea- son, be deficient it ,feeding material for all that he wishes to keep, and in such cases it might bo better• to purchase fodder rather than dispose of animals needed on the farm. Dut even this may be done in such a way as to keep the herd iu good con- dition at a reasonable outlay. The keeping of a large number of animals for the sake of the name, good, bad and indifferent, without mueli regard to their quality or con- dition,. is not advisable under any circumstances, and for real profit should never be undertaken. A really good animal of any kind is worth twice that of an ordinary one, hence the necessity and reason- ableness of making selections, and then carefully caring for them. The rule applies with great force to the dairy, where we can so easily dis- tinguish the effects of good or bad management. But it will be just as truly visible in that of other kinds of stock, as horses, sheep or swine. These can all be greatly improved by proper selection, 'breeding and care.' And this work must be continuous, and not intermittent or spasmodic. Fewer and hotter animals will be perfcrable and far more profitable than a large number indiitorently car -j ed for. Real excellence should bo the I aim of every farmer in all of his 1 business, and with this always in view there can hardly fail of being the most satisfactory results, plUM. even When inticis b' those who could and did snake choice butter While the sows wore BULKED OUT OF' 7100115, What is best is a cement floor for ail au'oals that Will seve all the liciuid uu+,llure and carry it to o, shod outsid 1, in which the solids should bo put every day or oftener in . the winter, and which could be So ar- ranged tltttt the odors from it should not go back into the :table.

Straw is much more valuable than may bo supposed, it does not pay to haul it to market, as the labor would detract from the profit, but outside of its 'use as food for stock straw is an excellent absorbent of liquid manure. To derive the best results from straw :,when it is used for bedding and manure it should bo cut fine , with an onsiiagg cutter. While the whole straw in the stalls answers the purpose well, yot it does not possess the power of absorbing the liquids until it is broken up. When passed through the cutter, it made fine instantly, and is then al- most equal to dry dirt. The same maybe -said of shredded corn stalks, it is of more advantage to pass thein through the shredder than to throw them out to be trampled, as they can be also used with the cut straw in the stalls. When the fine.. materials and manure are thrown on the heap there will bo no coarse pieces to rot. The whole mass will quickly decompose, and wltn less loss of the valuable constituents than when the straw and stalks are uncut, while the labor of handling and spreading such manure will bo reduced to a minimum cost. .A SCHOOLBOY WARWICK. Row Prince Arthur Induced His Cousin to Become Duke, People who lament tho artificiality which hedges boys of royal blood might take heart front the behavior of Prince Arthur of Connaught et the time when the Saxe -Coburg sec - , cession was in question. The story 'does not seem very true or very probable, but it is given on the au- thority of the London Chronicle, which received it front a schoolfel- low of the prince. On the death of his uncle, the Duke of Saxe -Coburg, in 1900, his father, the Duke of Connaught, was the rightful heir. But neither the Duke nor young Price Arthur desired the succession. Prince Arthur in par- ticular had other plans, and his rough-and-ready way of securing an- other ruler elect for the duchy shows hint something of a bully, perhaps, but with a healthy, democratic fond- ness for his native country. The story is that while the matter was in abeyance Prince Arthur met his ,.ousin, the fluke of Albany, one day, and said to him: Look. herol You have heard, I suppose, that they want sue to go off to Germany and be Duke of Co- burg?" "Yes," said Albany. • "Well," continued Price Arthur, "I am going into the 131•itish army, and I am not going to turn Car- man. So that's all about it. You can go and be Duke of Coburg. It will j suit jus you. "But,". said Albany, "1 do not want to go to Germany, and I do not avant to leave Eton." "Look hero, young chap,'' said his coualn, who is a year the older , of tiro two — he was then seventeen "you've got to 11e Duke of Coburg, and it is no use talking rot. Next Sunday you aro going up to Windsor to lunch with grandmantma, and, mind you, you tell her it's all right, and that you agree. 11 you, don't, look out for squalls, and take caro I don't kick you jolly well all round the scboolyard." In conclusion, the ,young Etonian who maths public flus conversation explained that although "Albany was a jolly, docent chap, and much more popular than Prince Arthur, he had to giro in because he wee delicate, and his cousin could have easily kicked him round if he had wished, which would have been no joke." CEMENT FLOORS. Probably the worst feature in a dairy farm is a wooden floor through which the liquid manure can soak, to remain below and decompose tainting and practicu..l; 1lursonhng the air above it, beside wasting thej most valuable of the fertilizing ele- ments in the excrements.

But little better Is the cellar under the cow stables, although they may save the liquids to a greater extent if there is sufficient absorbent used in thein.
