CHAPTER XXXIX.—(Cont'd) Whether Sigrid at all guessed at the state of affairs and arranged accordingly, or whether it was a mere Chance, it so happened that for the greater part of that day as they traveled through the beauti- ful Rumsdal, Frithiof and. Cecil were together. They dined merrily en salmon, wild strawberries, and cream, and then a walk was proposed. Cecil, however, excused herself, saying that she had letters to write home, and so it chanced that Frithiof and Sigrid had what did not often fall •to their lot in those days, the thence of a quiet talk. "What is wrong with you, dear old boy the said; for since they had left Horgheim she conk! not but n'ttee that he had grown grave tied absorbed. "Nothing," he said, with rather a forced laugh. "Let us rest here in the shade," she said, settling herself c'unirort- ably under a :diver birch. "Roy and Swanhilcl walk at such a paee that I think we will let them have the first view of the Mongefus." • He threw himself down on the gruss beside her, and fur a time there was silence. "You did not sleep last night," she said, presently, "How do you know that V' he said, his color rising a little. "Oh, I know it by your fueehead, You were worrying over something.

"Good-bye, I am go- ing to meet the others at the 11•Ion gefos, and you—you are going back to Horgheim. Adjo." Presently he got up and began to retrace his steps along the valley. CHAPTER XL. ---Tflirerfeeesn,oten was net so clear as the morning llit Abeen, yet it had a beauty of its own which appealed to Frithiof very strongly. 5'uildeny he perceived a little further along' the road a slime figure leaning against the fence, the folds of a blue • dress, the gleam of light -brown hair Ceder a sealskin traveling -cap. His heart began tu beat fast, he strode on more quielcly, and Cecil, hearing footsteps, looked up. "I had finished my • letter and thought 1 would come out to ex iilore a little," she said, as he • joined her. ''You have come back°1" • "Yes.," he said.- "I have c"me •back to you, {'eeil, Do you remem- ber what you said years ago about mien who worked Bard to make their fortune and their retired and were miserable because they had nothing to do ?"

It was yon wbo saved me from ruin in my 011.1 .life -will you he my helper now?" "Do you think I really could help ?" she said, wistfully. "I do not know," he said gravely. 'It depends on whether you could love me—whether you will let lee speak of my love for you." "There must never be any sec- rets between us," she said, speak- ing quite simply and directly. "I have laved you ever slice you first _.-ale to us—years ago." - It was nothing to Frithiof that they were standing at the side of the king's highway --he had lost all sense of time and place—the world only contained fur him the woman who loved him—the woman who let him clasp her in his strong arms— let him press her sweet face to his. "With you I shall have courage to begin life afresh," he said, after a time. "To have the fight to love yon ---to be always with you -that willbe everything to nie." And then, as he thought cif her true -hearted confession, he tried to understand a little better the un- seen ordering of his life. and he I loved to think that these weary I years had been wasted neither on! him nor on Cecil herself. "I shalt have a postscript to add to any letter." said Cecil, presently, "What a very feminine one it will be! We say, you know, in England, that a woman's postscript is the must important part of her letter." "Will your father and mother ever spare you to me?" said Frith - "They will certainly welcome you as their son," she replied. "And Mr, and Mrs. Horner?" suggested Frithiof, ntischievonsly. "Never mind," she said, "they) have always disapproved of me as much as they have of you; they will perhaps srty that it is, atter all, a highly suitable arrangement :" "I wonder whether Swanhild will, say the same !" said Frithiof, with I a smile; "here she comes, hurry -I ing home alone. Will you wait by the river and let nee just tell her my gond stews f" • "Why .are you all alone?" he said. "Oh, there is no fun," said Swan- hild. "When Roy and Sigrid are out on a holiday they are just like lover's, so I came back to you." • "What will you say when 1 tell you that I am betrothed?" he said teasi!Igly. "You are only making fun of nie," she protested. "On the contrary, I ani stating the most serious of fats. Conte, I' want your congratulations." "But who are you betrothed to?", asked Swanhild, bewildered, "Can it he to Madale 1 And, oh, dear, what a horrid time to cheese for it --you will be just no good at all, I `'sally• do think you might have waited 011 the end of the tour." ."'It ,.might possibly have been nianaged'"if'vou had spoken soon- er," said Frithinf,'yv1G11,inoels gra- vity, "but you come too late—eife deed is dune." • "Well, 1 shall have Cecil to talk to, so after all it doesn't much `nat- ter," said Swanhild, graciously. "But, unfortunately, she also has become hetrsthed," said Frithjof. Swanhild caught his hand in hers. ''You don't mean—" elle began. "Oh, yes," said Frithiof, : `but I de mean it very mush indeed, Ul ne,'" and he hurried her down the grassy slope to the river. "f shall tell Cecil every wren you have been saying. ' These, as •she rose to meet them, he said, with a, laugh, "This selfish child thinks we might have put it off. till the enol of the tour for her special benefit," - "i' o, no," cried Swanhild, ilyin��r toward Cecil with outstretched arras. "I never knew it was to you he was betrothed --.Ind yon could. never be that horrid, moony kind who are always sitting aline tu- gether in corners. Ah, well, there is clearly nothing for me but, as they say in Italy, to stay home and nurse the eat. It will be really. `cry' convenient. We shall not lose Frithi',f at all ; he will only have tu move aeress to _Rowena Tree :Reuse," • And ultimately that was how matters arranged thenieelves, so that the house which had sheltered Frithiof in his 'time of trouble be- rme his !tome in- this time of his prosperity, As Swanhild bad prophesied, they were by no means selfish lovers, and, far from spoiling the tour, their happiness slid much to add to its success. 5 m it ie "Cecil," said Frithiof, looking again into her sweet, -grave eyes "who would have thought that the Linnaea gathered all those years ago should prove the first link in. the chain that was to bind us to- gether forever ? "It was strange," she replied, with a smile, as she gathered one of the long trails"growing clues by and looked at the lovely little white bells with their pink veins. He took it from her, and began to twine it in her hair. "I didn't expect- to find it here," he said, "and brought a fine plant of it from Nord fjord. We must take it home with us that you may have some for your bridal wreath." She =imide a little exclamation of doubt. "Why, Frithiof ? How long do you think it will go on flowering?" "Fere another month," he said, taking her glowing face between his hands and stooping to kiss hes': ' "Only a month!" she faltered. "Surely that will be long enough to read the bans?" he said with a senile, "And you really ought not to keep the Linnaea waiting a day longer." • THE IND. w MOVED ROUST IN PARTS. Large Three -Storey Dwelling •.So Transported a Mile. One of the most singular ideas ever involved in the moving of houses was recently put into prac- tice in West Somerville, Mass., whon a large three-storey dwelling was cut in two and moved from an eminence ten feet above the street level and set up a mile distant from its former resting place. It was found impossible to move the house in its entirety. The cut was made squarely through the 'centre, and as the house was built in a cry sym- metrical manner each half was an exact counterpart of the other. After bracing the house, first one section and then another was moved to the new location with jackscrews and rollers. On bringing the two re -united• divorced portions to- gether they dovetailed in such a perfect fit that it was impossible to discern the separating cut. As each of the sections was 35 by ,20 feet at the base and almost 40 feet in height, they were apt to topple over during the process of moving. This was prevented by tearing down the chimney's and foundations and loading the first floor of each section to a considerable depth with brick. The brick acted as bal- last and the sections were moved without any damage. LEAD ABSORBED BY TEE'i`11. Extracted Teeth of One Workman Contained Quantity of Lead.

Albania, whose future is now in question, has been compared to the highlands of Scotland in the Six- teenth century, when all the clans were in constant feud with one an- other, "Many a time," says Foster Fraser;, "I have thought of similari- ties between Albania and Scotland. There are parts of the country re- miniscent of the highlands. The passionate love, of country- is char- acteristic of Moth peoples. The alertness of trio Scotch highlander to resent insult is only equalled by the quicicriess of the Albanian to shoot any ono who may disagree with him. The quilted petticoat of the Albanian is similar to the high- ]antler's kilt, And if yon hear the wail of Albanian music in the hills you can without muck stretch of imagination fancy you are listening to the skirl of the bagpipes." The blood feud is the best known of Albanian institutions, but there are fraternities as well in which blood also figures. Two young Al- banians will take a vow to stand-by each other through life, and the re- lation established is so sacred that the children of the two niay not marry. Among the Mirdites young men who take this vow first receive the communion together and then drink wine with which a few drops of the blood of both have been min- gled, Two such vowed friends, the story goes, once discovered that they were in love with the same woman, a Turk. Their solution of the diffi- culty was peaceful -from their own point of view. For they drove their daggers together into her heart.

ABROAD statement—Yet literally true: The aim of man from the beginning has been to make his building materials as nearly like nat- ural ora! stone as possible. . The•great labor required to quarry stone led him to seek various manufactured substitutes. The only reason he ever used wood was that11was easiest to get and most convenient to use, Wood is no longer easy to get. Like most building material, its cost is in- creasing at an alarming rate: The cost of concrete is decreasing. So, from the standpoint of either ser- vice or economy, Concrete is the best building material, Canada's farmers are using more concrete, in proportion to their numbers, than the farmers of any other country. Why ? Because they are being supplied with �t and oda Cement a cement of the highest possible quality, which in. 1311800 the success of their concrete work.

Trees one year old from bud or graft are usually the proper age to plant, but so -me slow growing sorts may be two years old before plant- ing. Under no circumstances should trees over two years old be planted, for they receive a greater check in transplanting than younger trees and do not make as good growth. They - are more likely to be broken in digging and packing and the cost of transportation is greater. Young trees can be pruned and trained to suit the ideals of the grower better than older trees, for they will not have large branches on them. Treating Scours in Calves. Two kinds of scours affect young calves, common scours, which are caused by indigestion, and white scours, or calf cholera. Calf cholera is contagious, but it a calf gets the disease, it will oc- cur a few days after birth. If the pens are kept clean there is not much danger from this disease, usually. Stalls used for calving purposes should he carefully (Hein fected after a calf is born. . Common scours, which are caused by indigestion, are much more common. The indigestion may bo traced to fault" methods of feed- ing, the most txnnmon of which are: overfeeding, cold milk, sour ntilk, irregular feeding, dirty pails and dirty, stables. When .a calf shows signs of the scours, the milk supply should be reduced to one-half, and the amount gradually increased as the calf shows signs of improve- ment. This usually will cure them, but if it does not, feed about a tablespoonful of soluble dried blood, and stir in well with the milk. Dried blood not only acts as a tonic, but it has .some food value, and is often fed even when the calves do not have the scours. If the calves have the SCOUTS very bad, the formalin treatment is good. Aad one-half ounce of for- malin to fifteen ounces of distilled water to make the solution. Then add one teaspoonful of this mixture to each pint of the inilIk that is fed. This method is -very effective. The Rye Pield. 13ye which is 'sown in the fall for green feed daring cold weather may be economically used at least three vvays the next spring and the early summer.- - One of these ways is to use it for pasture. Another way is to use it for a summer soiling crop for milleecows. An acre or two on rich land will produce a large - amount of early green feed and te' crop can be used for nearly three months, To use rye as a soiling ,crop, keep the stock off it in the spring and when it is tall enough to cut take the mower to the patch. and cut enough for two -days, feed- ing, Rake this and store in the barn and feed out, Then mow enough more for another two clays, fending and continue the same me thod till the patch is all mown, By this time the rye of the first mow- ing will have grown up enough for a second cutting and in succession it may be cut several times during the early spr-ing and eumnter. In this way a great member of cowv may be kept .on a limited area of . pastltre. Stu'I'y I'Iiglit: .
