"Eh? Oh- no," returned Elieha, rather
puzzled by her tone; then he laughed and
shook hie head.. "No; it will take day

"We'll tackle her after supper. Mina,"
said Elieha, with all the eetutenese of the
diplomat, when Tibby had departed in the
usual whirlwind.
Mina was left alone in the afternoon;
and she got out her books, and tried to
ooncenerate her attention on them; but
she was still waiting, listening. As the
daylight .began to wane and dusk came,
her heart began to sink. He had not

graph boy camedown the Bente at the
proper pace, a mile an how• and, halting
at the doorway, eyed Tibby with marked
disapproval, and demanded to be inform-
ed if a person by the name of Mina Bur-
rell resided in that house.
Ere, give it 'ere," said Tibby, and she
snatched the telegram from hie hand.
The boy, after Inquiring anxiously where
she usually bought her bats, and adroitly
dodging a box on the ears, slouched off,
and Tibby went up the stairs again. But
hall -way she stopped, pondered for a mo-
ment, then, thrusting the telegram inher

street. When eke bad turned the oorner
she opened the telegram and read it. It
ran: •
"I am unavoidably prevented from com-
ing to you. I will write. I am quite well,
but grieving at not being able to see you.
—Clive."
Tibby read the telegram through, count•
lug the words and estimating the cost,
then, with a savage nod of the head, she
thrust the telegram into her pochet, mut-
tering:
Of course! Suet what might have been
expected of the likes of him and hie clues.

does, he's got me to tackle. Her mind's

got a sensible woman to protect her."
That day Mina angered all the agonies
of the efckness that comes from hope de-
ferred, which precedes actual despair. Of
course, he had been prevented from com•
ing, but—but why had he not written?
Just one line, one little lino, to tell her
why he had not come to assure her that
he had not ehanged his mind, now that
he was well again? In after years Mina
wee never able to look back upon that day
or the two that followed it without a dull
aching pain.
The dark shadow of a vague trouble
seemed to fall not only upon her, but on
the other two. Tibby appeared suddenly
to have lost her capacity for scolding, and
was almost as silent as Mina, at whom
she every now and then glanced with a
strange pity and yearning in hor old.
young eyes; and on the evening of the
third day she said abruptly, and without
any leading up to the ewbjeet;
"What did you say that trip to Margit
would coat, father?"
Mina happened to be out of the room, or
he would have winked at her triumphant-
ly, but with every sign of meekness he
went into detaile with Titeby.
"Well, it's a ridickloue notion," she said
at last, with an air of resignation; "but

Clive reached hie rooms in the state of

I mentioned that you were excited and

Clive drew a long breath, nodded, and
smiled.
You've guessed it at once, Quilton," he
said. "I am in love with her; and, please
God, we are going to be married."

Quite. so. Good old copyabook wheeze.
By the way," he said, as if suddenly re-
collecting, "they aren't her father and sis-
ter, are they? You said as much the

question in the meet casual and indiffer-
ent way.
That's so," replied Clive ae indiffer-

Ho nodded to two or three telegrams in
the pile; and Clive tore them open and
sprang to hie feet.
"My father fa very ill!" he said. "Why
didn't you tell me at first?"
"I was trying to break it to you," said
Quilton; "abut I saw that you would come

Stopping Leaks in the Dairy.
There is no denying the fact that,
too lnany dairymen are parrying on
their business et a loss and occa-
sional instances of a marked .8 teaeol
in the business appear to indicate
that dairying can be put on a pay-
ing basis, writes an experienced
dairyman.
There are many things that com-
mend dairying to the farmer,
among which may be named a cer-
tainly of obtaining good prices fox
the products of the farm, and the
elimination of the speculative ale=
ment which surrounds growing and
marketing other preclude.
To conduct a dairy farm at a pro.
fit we must feed good cows. They
should be good individuals and se-
lected from the breed which is best
adapted to the particular branch of
dairying that is being made olio
specialty and to the conditions of
our farms.
No one breed or type is adapted
to all conditions, else there would
be little need of so much diversity
of size, conformation and quality
of product. For the economical pro-
duction
of butter or creamor of
very rich milk that is suitable for
a fancy trade), it is best to keep
Jerseys or Guernseys, that in pro-
viding, of course, that we will give
them care and treatment they arc
accustomed to in their native Iand,
Jersey and Guernsey cows pro-
duce less milk solids other than fat
thus enabling them to turn target
proportions of their food and en•
ergy into the production of the de.
sired precinct, than cows of breed;
which yield a larger quantity of
milk deficient in butter fat.
On certain farms whore the pas-
ture is scant or where the land is
rough and rolling, and where sum-
mer dairying is practiced' the cow
that is capable of doing the best
work under such conditions would
be the .best adapted to the economy
of the dairy,
For such a farm the man would
best select the Ayrshire, or high
grades of that breed. They have
been bred and developed under
similar environment until they have
become accustomed to that, kind of
treatment more than the refined
and more delicately organized

general market, faces a different
