Chapter XXIV., and Last.
The little party left on 'the island
had spent a terrible night and day.
When Lord Lochfinnan had seen his
daughter swept away in the disabled
boat, beyond the reach of help, his
anguish was very great. IIe walked
up and down the small plateau, which
formed the natural landing -stage,
like one distraught.
"Oh, my child, my child!" he cried.
"I shall never see her again !"
Vainly the others strove to comfort
him; but they could not persuade
themselves, much less hien, that there
was much chance of tlh.e little /aeht
ever reaching land in safety. They
knew it was In the highest degree
improbable. Pietro, with the easy
readiness to say the thing he thought
would please, irrespective of it is tru-
th, which characterises the Italian,
assured the distracted father that
.Antonio was possessed of such
skill in seamanship that he ce-
rtainly contrive to keep the boat
float in any weather till they some-
how got to land or were picked up
by some passing craft.
Lord Lochfinnan did not believe
him but the one grain of comfort he
was able to find lay in the fact that
Cecily had for her companion. a pro-
fessional sailor who would do all that
human skill could do to keep the dis-
abled boat from foundering.
Mrs. Mansfield dared not undecei-
ve him. It added poignancy to her
grief to know that Cecily was de-
pendent upon what amateur seaman-
ship could do, though she realised,
on the ocher hand, that Jack's prese-
nce would be felt by the girl herself
as a great mitigation of the honors
of her situation. Of course Jack
knew a good deal about 'the manage-
ment of a sailing -boat, or he could
not have played successfully the
part he had done latterly. She won-
dered if Pietro knew that Jack was
playing a part. Sihe thought it must
have been by bribery that Jack had
procured the means to play his rule.
But she dared not ask Pietro. She
felt that thane was nothing for it
now to leave them all in ignorance;
and all her energies were directod to
calming Lord Lochfinnan.
Haddis, who clearly loved his lister
and was devotedly a'ctached to his
father, made but a poor comforter.
He was so profoundly miserable and
so overcome by the horror. of the
thing that he needed comfort him-
self, and 'turned naturally to his wife
for it; and on Mrs, Mansfield fell the
task of trying to keep up Lord Loc-
hfinnan and save frim from yielding

to absolute despair. Forgetful of
her still weak leg, she walked up and
down beside him for hours, soothing
him, listening to his despairing lam-
ennations, cheering and encouraging
"And I have not been kind to her
lately!" 'che poor father cried. "I
refused her her heart's desire and
parted her from the man she loved—
and she was so good about it. Site
was so honourable. She never once_
tried to see him unknown to 010."
Mrs. Mansfield sighed. What wo-
uld he say if he knew 'chat his dau-
ghter was now tossing about in that
disabled boat with Jack Grandison
for her companion? Truly, it was
by no fault or connivance of Cerily
that it was not at this moment that
he could be told—if indeed it would
be advisable ever to tell him.
In the horror of the 'trouble that
had befallen 'chem it was long before
any of them, felt their own position;
but waren it became dark Mrs. Man-
sfield realised that they would have
to spend the night on the island, and
that it was impossible that she could
any longer walk up and down by
Lord Lochfinnan's side. It was neces-
sary too to persuade him to take some
rest. She therefore called Haddis
and Lilith, who were not far off, and,
when they came, she made Died
Lochfinnan try to' being his mind to
considering their own position by
confessing her extreme fatigue. This
aroused hum, as she intended it to
do, from the exclusve contemplation
of this own sorrow. He was horrified
at what he denounced as his own
selfishness, and was immediately full
of schemes for her comfort.
Forbunately (they had. plenty ,of
food for the present in the remains
of the plentiful luncheon which Ce-
cily had provided, and Mrs. Mansfied
insisted on their all sitting clown and
taking food and wine. Pietro was
given a generous share. It was ce-
rtain that in the morning the hotel
people would send to the island to
fetch them, if the sea had sufficiently
calmed to permit of a boat landing.
1i was not therefore necessary to
husband the food too carefully. After
they were all somewlmt revived by
the meal they held a council as to
what was best to be done,
It was agreed that they must take
shelter in the deserted villa. There
they could sleep on the floor, shield-
ed at least from tate wind; but do case
of the extremely improbable event
of the yacht coining back to the island
it was agreed that the three nen
should take it by turns to watch
throughout the night. Mrs Mansfied
was helped up the hill which, earlier
in the day, she had thought it impos-
sible to mount, and she and her dau-
ghter took possession of one of the
rooms, wjhido }Riddle and his father
tried to sleep in another.
Weary as they were, none of them
slept much. Indeecd Mrs. Mansfield,
when she found herself alone with,
her daughter, felt impelled to confide
to her the truth about Jack. After
the harassing hours she had gone
through with Lord Lochfinnan her
nerves needed the solace of a confi-
dence, and she knew that with Lilith
the confidence would be safe even
from Haddis. Lilith would have too
much sympathy with Cecily to be wil-
ling to expose even her memory to
her brother's wrath.,
Lilith looked at her stepmother in
amazement when the story was told.
"Olt, poor Coolly!" she cried, and
added imanediately, "But, oh, what

to hint, just then, that he did not

Jack's fisherman's dress•
Jack motioned to Cecily to let him
porde.
"Thi:e is my affair, he erid. "You
were not in any way to blame for
1t."
Thant he gave Lord Loch finnan u
perferaly straightforward atceount of
the trick he had been playing upon
hint.
For an instant lord Laehfinnttn's
wrath blazed up, and he turned upon
his daughter.
"And you, Cecily, who I could
have sworn would never deceive Inc
--you
permitted this s deeE.''
IG to be
practised on me?"
The girl held her head high and
looked full into her father's angry
eyes.
"I did not permit it," she answered
proudly. "I only suspected bhat your
boatman was Jack Grandison. How
could 1 act on such an improbable
suspicion? It was not till yesterday
that I was sure. I should most cer-
tainly have told you today. Father,"
she went on, with a change of tone,
and the tears began to roll down her
checks, "forgive him! He only did
it to be near 100, After the eerribde

together, when we sat through the
hours of darkness waiting for death,
I cannot let any one part us. I feel
I belong first to him. I have promi-
sed to marry him when he pleases.
Oh, father, don't make me starry
him in defence of your wishes!"
For a moment Lord Lochfinnan was
silent. He was an obstinate anon,
and he felt as if he had been outwit-
ted. But at this critical moment
Mrs. Mansfield came near him and
'couched him on the arm.
You will give them your blessing,
any friend," she said gently. "Your
child has been given back 'co you
from the jaws of death, and she asks
this boon of you. You have not
quite forgotten what love is, I thi-
nk," she added in a tone that only
just reached his ears; " and they
love each other."
The boat from Alassio kept in
sight all the morning. Every hour
the sea was becoming calmer. In-
deed they might have got off had it
not been that the nerves of both
ladies were so shaken that they im-
plored that they should not be asked
to embark until it was easy to do so.
As there seemed to be no fear of the
wind rising again, Lord Lochfinnan
and Iladdis acceded to their regnest,
.and the boat which had approached
was ordered 'co lay by for yet another
hour or two.
Then as they sat, a melancholy
silent group, on the landing platform
there carne into view from the other
side of the island a fishing -boat. On
the fishing -boat there stood out froxn
the Italian crew 'two figures waving
fianderchiefs.
"It is they!" cried Mrs. Mansfield;

The fishing -boat came up alongside

minutes while he explained the situ- Then Mrs. Mansfield said to the
ation to anis friends. The skipper, young man—
*knowing he was sure of a good re-
ward for his day's work, was willing
to wait as long as he pleased. Se the
fishing -smack joined the boat from
the hotel, and the crews of ohs two
craft gave each other a good deal of
information concerning the adven'cu-
res which had happened to the
Signori Inglesi.
The moment she set foot on shore
Cecily ran to her father and fell into
his arms. For a moment, Lord Loc-
hfinnan was too absorbed in his dau-
ghter and in the effort 'co control his
emotion to notice anything unexpe-
cted about her companion. Nor did
Haddis either; he stood by, waiting
his turn to take their recovered near
one Into his arms, and did not look
et the suppoeed Antonbo.
It was left for the two ladies to
welcome Min, which they did with
great warmth but, despite their
kindly assurances and the joy of the
moment, Jack could not feel at his
ease till the oxplanbion with Lord
Lochfinnan had taken place,
He was not kept hong in suspense.
When Lord Lochfnnan turned to
speak a word of thanks and congrat-
ulation 'co his daughter's companion,
and his glance fell on the fair -Haired
young mean who stepped forward to
meet him he uttered an exclamation
of bewilderment.
Cecily hurried to her father's .side.
"gather," she said timdly, with
her hand on his arm, "I—I--have an
explanation to matte to you.'
"Did Mr. Grandison pick you up!"
tusked her father, magnanimously
prepared to forgive this obnoxious
young matt for saving his daughter's
"As to what you are going to live
upon, I have a little surprise in ,(tore
for you. You don't seem to be aware
of it, but any late husband was your
nearest relative, though only a cousin.
When he died and left Inc his .fortune,
he loft it to me only for any life, or
till I should marry again. But, with
his usual eccentricity, he decreed
that you should not know of your
possible heritage. So for the present
perhaps you may starve; but you
will have my fortune when I die ui
marry again."' She glaneed at Lord
Lochfinnan and added demurely,
"Perhaps it would be better for me
to massy again,"
Half an hour later Haddis hailed
the fishing -smack and the boat to
take them off. Lord Lochfinnan and
Mrs. Mansfield had to be hunted for
in one direction and Cecily and Jack
in another. But they were found
at length, and, lest the captain of the
fisfning-smack should feel hurt, Cecily
and Jack decided to be taken hack

before. When they now landed they
found all the Hnglsh colony assembled'
to greet them, nonclole with them, and
express joy at 'their safe deliverance

News of Cecily's adventure had
not yet reached them, and, as it was
advisable that Jack's esacptade should
not be known, he stayed on board
the fishing -smack until the crowd had

THE APPLICATION OF LIME
COMPOUNDS.
(Experimental Farms Note.)
The more commonly used forms of
lime for application to the soil are
ground limestone, marl quick lime
and slaked lima. These materials
may be applied in either spring or
fall; probably the best time is in the
fall making the distribution to the
ploughed land and incorporating
with the surface soil by harrowing.
They should no'c be ploughed under
since the tendency is for all lime
compounds to be washed down throu-
gh the soil by the ram.
The methods of application of
lime bearing materials should be
such as to ensure as even a distri-
bution as possible. The best method
is by the use 'of a lime speeder a
very satisfactory type of machine
is one designed to fit on the end
of a wagon box the mechanism being
driven from a drive sprocket attac-
hed 'co the hub of the wagon wheel
Fairly satisfactory distribution may
also be made with a shovel from a
wagon box.
•Ground limestone and marl are the
materials most widely used in supply-
ing lime to the soil and may be readi-
ly applied by 'che above methods.
Is very considerable at present and
that Ford will 'cake advantage of it.
The Cork Ford works are at present
engaged in the making or parts for
the new Ford car,and these have to
pay a duty going into England. When
the Cork plant was established, this
was net the case, and for four years

What Makes -, Town ?
A prosperous rural population which demands a community
centre where may be established business, educational, relig-
ious and entertainment facilities. Where those flourish and
are active it is safe to surmise that the people of that section
realize and appreciate the value to them of such a centre.
What Maintains it ?
The towns are largely maintained by the surrounding districts.
But the organization, the direction, and to a great measure the
ap-keep. of the institutions in such towns are in the hands
of the business interests, together with those directly and in-
directly connected therewith, Without the active business and
professional men to supervise and govern these public institu-
tions and undertakings no Lown could thrive.
Who is mainly Affected?
Every citizen either in or about a town should be concerned
in ening to it that they do their part in carrying on any good
cause which may be promoted, either by financial or active
support. Only in this way will any town prosper and develop
as it should.
Publicity is Required
In promotion work your local paper takes the leading part.
It is ever the champion of worthy causes and philanthropic
and patriotic (undertakings. But to function properly, and
fully 'carry out its natural prerogatives, it must io turn have the
financial support of the community it serves. When needing
adverti ting or printed matter always first think of
