Frithiof turned and looked at Cecil.�� s • She had taken off het hat that 'i 1 r q he might better enjoy the soft ev- ening breeze which was ruffling up her fair hair; her blue dress was one of those shades which are called "new," but which are not unlike the old blue in which artists have always loved to paint the Ma- donna; her 'face was very quiet and happy; the soft evening light seemed to etherealize her. "You will never know ,how much I owe to you," he said, inmpetiaously.

A sudden happiness he walked on drinking terror seized Frithiof that some one down deep breaths of the fresh would come to their end of the morning air, until coming at length steamer and break the spell that bound him, and then the very fear itself made him realize that this wa's :rvtelssae;4;.. sot a great reality.

Still happy with a korner and enjoyed they stood there—side by side, and her grateful shake of the„hand, .the steamer moved on peacefully once mare, the silvery track still marking the calm fjord till they reached the little beat that was to land them at Naes. When it was no longer possible to prolong that strange, weird calm, he went, like a man half awake, to see after the luggage, and presently, with an odd, dazzled feeling found himself en the shore,where Herr Lossius the landlor, stood to welcome them. "Which is the hotel1” asked Roy. land Herr Lossius replied, in hie quaint, careful English: "It is yon- der, sir—that house just under the moon." But the "house under the moon," though comfortable enough, did not Prove a good sleeping -place. All the night long Fiithiof lay broad awake in his quaint room, and at Length, weary of staring at the pie- ,turo of the stag painted on the win- dow -blind, he drew it up and lay looking out at the dark Romedais- horn, for the bed was placed across the window and commanded a beau- tiful view. He could think of nothing but Cecil; of the strange, new ,insight -that had come to him so suddenly, of the marvel that, having known her 'so long and so intimately, he had only lust realized the beauty of he'r character, with its tender, womanly grace, its quiet strength, its steadfastness, and repose. He fell into great despondency ; but the recollection, of that sweet, bright glance which site had given him in reply to his impetuous burst o£ gratitude, reassured him; and when, later on, he met her at breakfast his ,d•ottbts were held at bay, and his hopes raised, not by anything that she 'did or said, but by her mere presence.

CHAPTER XXXIX.—(Cont'd) When the will was read ib affirmed that Herr Sivertsen, who had no relations living, had indeed left his property to Frithiof. The will was terse and eccentric in the extreme, and seemed like one of the ole] man's own speeches, ending with the familiar words, "for Ito is one of the few honest and hard-working men in a despicable generation," Naturally there was only one way to which Frithiof could think of put- ting his legacy. Every penny of it went straight to his debt -fund, Mr, Horner heard of it and groaned. "What I" he exclaimed, `spay away the principal; hand over thousands of pounds in payment of debts that are not even his own—debts that don't affect his name! He ought to put the money into this business, Boniface; it would only be a fitting way of showing you his gratitude," "He put into the'•eusiness what I value far more," s401 Mr. Boniface.

Ono evening it chanced that the brother and sis- ter were alone for a few minutes during thaintorvels of an amateur concert, which . -Cecil had been asked to get up at Whitechapel, "How do you • think it has gone off 1" Bahl Sigrid, as he sat down beside her in the little inner room. • "Capitally.; Cecil ought bo bo congratulated," he replied, "I am glad she has had it on hand, for it must have taken her thoughts off the children." "Yes," said Sigrid; - ranvthing that does that is worth something." "Yet she seems to me to have plenty•of interests," said Frithiof. "She is never idle; she is a great reader.,, "Do you think hooks would ever satisfy a woman like Cecil 7" ex- claimed Sigrid. He looked at her quickly, struck by • something unusual in her toile. "Oh," he said, teasingly, "you think every one has your ideal of happiness, and can not manage to exist without the equivalent of. Roy and baby,. to say nothing of the house and garden." • "I don't think anything of the. sort," ehe protested. "Norway will be the best thing in the world for her," he said.

Fax after all, though the place remained, his home had gone forever, and though Herr Gronvold stood waiting for them on the landing quay with the heartiest of welcomes, yet he could not but feel a terrible blank. Cecil read his face in a moment, and understood just what he was feeling. "Come and let as look for the luggage," she said to Roy. "Rather different to our last ar- rival hero," said Roy, brightly. They were all to stay for a few days with the Gronvolds, and there was now plenty of room for •them, since Karen and the eklest son were married and settled in homes of their own. Fru Gronvold and Sigrid met with the utmost affec- tion, and all the petty quarrels and vexations of the past were forgot- ten; indeed, the very first evening they had a hearty laugh over the recollection of their difference of opinion about Torvald Lundgren. "And, my dear." said Fru 'Gron- void, "you need not feel at all anxious about him, he is very hap- pily marrieds, and 1' think—yes, cer- tainly I can not help owning, that he manages his, household with a firmer hand than would perhaps have suited you. Ho has a very pretty little wife who' worships the ground he treads en." "Which, you see, l: could never have done," said Sigrid, marrily, "Poor Torvald ! I am very glad he is happily settled, Frithiof must go and see him, How do you think Sw.anhild is looking, auntie?" "Very well and very pretty," said Fru Gronvold, "One would natur- ally suppose that, at her rather awkward' ago, she wield have her good looks, but she is as gree al as ever," "She is a very brave, herd -work- ing little woman," said Sigrid, "f told yeti that she had begged KO hard to stay on with Madame Lechertiei• that we had consented," "By ,and by, when she is grown up, she is going to keep my house,,, said Brit'hiof, "No, no," said Sigrid; "I shall nevea spare her, unless it, is to get married; you two would never get on all by yourselvos, By (ho bye; I am .suSe Cecil is steeping away from 00 on purpose; she wont off on the 'plea of reading let her half -hoar society, but she has been gone quite a long tune- Go and find stet, TmrWno£, duel 'sell her'we very lunch want her," Ile went out and found Cecil Com- Rill—"Why did you break your engagement with that .school tea., cher 7" . yacli--"If I failed to show up at her house every evening she expected me to bring a written ex- cuse signed by soy mother."

There are two ways of engraving characters on a seal—relief and in- taglio. In the one the characters in the impression are shown in color, while in the other they are repre- sented in white on colored ground. The ink used for stamping is called niku.

The drainage of heavy clay hinds deserves much attention, for the yield of crops obtained on such soils is very largely proportional to the degree of draininga. The soil, be- ing naturally retentive of moisture, peddles very easily if worked When wet, thus preventing the entrance of air into the ground. The excess of water also prevents the soil from warming up early in the spring, and thus retards the planting of seed and its germination after be- ing planted. The bacteria and other organisms which prepare the nitrogen of the soil for the use; of the higher plants cannot do their work wall in a wet or peddled soil. They must have air and a eompara- tively high temperature in order to du their best work. The surface water which accumu- lates after heavy rains should nob , be allowed to remain on the ground long. Hence the importance of having a good system of surface 1 drains ul• ditches to carry away this superfluous water. Generally !speaking, on heavy clay good outlets for ditches can be without -ouch trouble or expense. Whatever system is used, it should be planned and carried out in the most effective way. e important' fact to remember is that in order to farm successfully the fiat clay lands I with most crops it is necessary to IspurroLiedee somepractical system of drainage, rhe land t so al,unld he plowed in ; narrow lands leaving dead furrows about 30 feet apart.
