he entered, the light was falling full upon
Were's face, from which all the pride and
haughtiness had gone, leaving it soft aud
tearful. There was a Werner of 1)011 11011)5,
her lips worked unsteadily as she tried to
smile en return for his bright face. For a
moment all were silent, Ashton watching
them without daring to speak.
" It is done," he said gently, noting the
dumbpiteous appeal in Chris's eyes. "Thank
Heaven, you are free at lase"

Soils for Sheep,
It is a common thing to hear farmers say
that they cannot make dairying SlleeeSsfla

enuneutly profitable. 14y this they mean
that they have learned to adapt thew farm
to its proper use, and have found out by ex-
perience what the soil is best suited to
raise. But there is mother step iu this line
which every sheep -owner might ponder with
some profit to himself. All breeds of sheep
will not thrive on the same kind of soil, and
