With a passionate gesture she dragged her yell over her face and turned away. Clive looked after her pityingly, and had half a mind to follow. But what could bo do with a woman poeseesed by an ha1}u- cination? --- • "Edith is in her room, I suppose," said Lord Chesterleigh as he looked into the empty drawing -roam, "We'll go sty there , ;the will bo glad to Gee you." They event up the stairs to Lady Edith's i room. She was sitting on a couch with a book in her hand; and she replied 1• leanly enough to her father; but 50 AI a SAW Clive her manner changed, the be.k dropped from her hand, and she rose, her face flushing, "Oh, you are back, kir, Harvey!" elle mad, as she gave hem her hand. "Wo thought you had disappeared for ever. Comeand sit down and tel me aboat your wanderings," Clive seated himself beelde her, and look- ed at hem. He could not be ignorant of the fact that she was glad to see hien. IIe had been travelling for months, alone solitary, roughing it ea mon like to rough it now and then -for a eh..nge. The beautiful room, with its atnefophere of luxury, wealth, refinement, had its offset upon him. Ile noted ---hew con ad he avo''d doing so? -rho coming anis going of the calor in her face, the sudden warmth in her eyes; and her evideut pleteure in his presence moved him more than lis re- ception by the House had done, Lord Chesterleigh wandered about the 000111, ad. dressing a disjointed word or two to one or both of them, then went out, leaving them alone. "Now you meet tell me all your adven- tures," said Lady Edith. -I was going to say that we have missed you.; but that would make you vain. We thought you were never coming back. Where have you been?" Clive told her of some of the places he had visited; her eyes, while he was speak- ing, dwelling l pen him as if she were ab- sorbed 1n his narrative. Every now and then she put in a word which revealed her interest in the emal'est particulars, and led him on to further detail. Pre- sently, after a plume, she said: "Oh, I wantedto tell you about your fiddler protege -that quaint littlo man, you know, for whom we got pupils. When they went out of town they gave bim the money you arranged for to keep him go. Mg until their return; and boseemed very grateful, so they said; but, strange- ly enough, they had a letter from him a few days efterwarde, returnin,g the money and throwing up the lessons. I forget what excuse he made. He had gone into the country, T think; at any rate, wo have ]beard no more of him." Clive's face grew hard; but ho was standing by the 'window, and she did not notice It. "I suppose he got an engagement somewhere, something bettor than teaching," she remarked, "Probably," assented Olive, in a tone that closed the eubjeot. While he had been with Lady Edith, 1f he had not forgotten Hina, the keennere of his toes was for 1110 moment blunted by the proximity, the friendliness, the dent sympathy of title beautiful girl; but this reference to Ilieha woke the old pain which was always on ready to start gnawing at his heart. Mina's faderose before him, he could hear her voice; Lady Edith ceased to interest him, and ho knew that he waseager to get away, to be alone.

Mina was i11 for same days after her fainting fit; and the dcetor declared that he would not answer for the conoequenceo if she were not taken away into the country as soon as she was strong enough to travel. Ho said that she had been overworking herself, that she had some- thing on her mind, and that a change was absolutely necessary, .- Tibby knew what was on Mina's mind; but she did not enlighten Blithe, and as- cribed the trouble to "too much praotie- in' and too many leucons." No one could have been more devoted than Tibby was to Mina; but she eatd nothing of the tele- gram and Clive's returned letter: and, in- deed, ignored hie existence, That Mina ehould be fascinated by this good-looking swell" was to Tibby natural enough; but it seemed equally natural to her that Mina, 1f she saw and heard nothing more of him, would recover from her infatua- tion, forgot him, and become the Game Mina as of old. As soon ae Mina woe strong enough sho went to the soaaide;•but they (lid not go to Margate or Southend; for at the rail- way office BlitheBlithehad heard of a new wa- tering -place which. appeared to hold out all the attractions of the older ones, and to possess the advantage of being much cheaper, So they went down to Lea -on - Sande, ae the new place was called It was new, indeed, painfully new; but the sande were there right enough, and the rows of houses, which the landlord -pro. .h prietor, with the assistance of a speculat- ing builder, had put up, looked .straight over them. There was also a parade, with a bandstand and a Hummel -which the inhabitants and moot of the visitors to Lea -on -Sande pronounced, with uncon- seious irony,. "Curse all." The place was fairly hill, and Elieha, who promenaded the parade and the in- fantile pier with a keen enjoyment and pride, derived much satisfaction from the. fact that lie was actually takine a holi- day by the sec.. But Mina did not atlpenr to recover very quickly, and Tibby die- elayed-in Nine's mb0enoe--some anxiety about her. "We shan't be able to go back to Lon- don for some time," ohs said, "She don't get mtioh stronger," Elieha Shook hia head gravely. "No," he said. I laughed at what the doctor said about her having something on her mind; but 2 begin to believe that he was right. ,She seems to me to be install' about something; though what elle could ace to fret about pnzzleo mo." Tibby was silent for a moment,,then she eaid: I'll Wel yon, father, if you'll roniloe not to let out that T've done so. It's that Mr. Clive." Elioba started, and looked at her incre- dulously and somewhat indignantly, "What do you mean?" he demanded, "What T say. I see it a long time ago, almost the first day ho came to the Rents. He was fair etruok with Mina; and she - well, it'd only to be expected that oho should be Wok with him.

The band was playing, and Tilleha, presently lifting hie bowed head, saw ahmt the conductor was his old friend, the old man who had given singing lessons to Mina. Elisha waited until the programme load been got through and the audience had diepereed, then he sought the conductor, whose mane was Robinson; but who was known at Lea -on -Sands as Chevalier Sordelll. Rob- iuson, alias Chevalier Sordelli, received him warmly, By Jingo!" he exoladmed; "the very man S want! Are you staying bore, and ane you disengaged?

Elieha olosed at ones, hurried back to tell Tibby and Mina of the good fortune that had befallen ,him, and next morning took his place In the -band, in which his presence 'twee promptly welcomed and his talent promptly appreciated, After a time Mina grew strong enough to go down to the Kurenal and hear the hand -that lo, Elisha--playing; and one day the Chevalier said to Elisba: 'Didn't I see you daughter', Miss Mina, amongst the audience? I thought so. Looked rather pale and lac1adaieieal, She's 'got a voice; and I've taught her to use lt• why shouldn't she use it here? I'll give her a trial on the programme if ehc likes. Shelia went home to their modest lodg- ings, an old-fashioned cottage away from the front, and informed Mina of the Che- valier's offer, Her pale fano flushed, and a light stole into her eyes, of late so dim and listless, and she began to tremble; for though the heart may seem full ort lore, thwarted love, there is still room for art, I'll try." oho said in a low voice; "if you think it 1s any good. Yes, 2'11 try." She began to practice that name day, and a date was fixed for her appearance, The Chevalier attached So much import- ance to .her debut that he "billed" her all over the place in huge letters; and on the night appointed Mina appeared -as Miso Veronica Vernon: the Ohovalier chose this high-falutin name befero a fairly large aud, fortunately, good•natured andicuco.

(To be continued.) ri The Sahara, according to• corn- ! mon opinion, is a land entirely without water. This is far from the truth; in all pasts of the region k that are inhabited 'there is plenty of water. The only trouble is to e find it, as it lies at, an unknown a depth below the surface. To discover and make available a this hidden water supply is the rats- .; sion of a eorps of artesian well dig - no gers which is operating in the south ie. ; of Algeria. 9 In February one of these engin- ' eers opened a well for which is Put to the Test.

Not all r•egetltblea require the same treatment, and i•t must be un- ; - dcrewod that the kind 'storage i that i$ good for one would be fatal to another. • Cabbages, parsnips, 1 salsify and carrots are not injured by freezing, Irish potatoes, celery and apples will stand a light freeze, while sweet potatoes will be ruined even by a frost, 1 have not often kept a great att1<snnt of vegetables fn a cellar, and prefer the outdoor pits, espa. dally for apples, celery and the vegetables that are not iniured by freezing, writes Mr. C. fS, Miller, 1 dig a shallow trench wide enough for two rows of heads, pull the cab- be.ge by the root, bury in the trench and cover with dirt, and ft does not matter whether they are Dowered deep enough for keeping out frost, as cabbage will thaw out and not be injured, provided the thawing is while in ocn'tact with the dirt, It should not be stored until quite severe weather, but if it turns cold suddenly so as to freeze the heads solid it should be buried at once so that it may thaw out in the ground. Carrots, salsify and par- snips are benefited by freezing in the ground and .turnips are not in- jured. All these are stored similar to the cabbage, being piled in a conical heap and covered with dirt. In order that they may be con- venient to get at during the winter, cover the dirt with straw or fodder so that the ground will not freeze more than a few inches. Irish potatoes should be buried in a slight depression, having straw placed under and on top, then cov- ered with dirt, or stored in the cel- lar they may be piled down in one corner as moisture does not hurt them, and they should be kept as cold as possible without freezing. Apples are kept the same way as potatoes and it adds to convenience in handling if the pit is kept dry by a movable shed or short boards. Apples are much better kept in this way and only a few should be ]sept in the cellar for immediate use. Celery must be stored in moist earth -whether in the cellar or pit. Sweet potatoes must be dug be- fore there is any treat if they are to be kept long. If the vines are bitten by, frost cut them off imme- diately and dig the potatoes in a few days. It is necessary that they be kept above the frost point, about as de- grees being the ideal temperature, It is also essential that they be kept dry with a free circulation of air and possibly the best building for keeping large quantities would be of brick or stone, heated by a furnace. Where a few are wanted for beam use, a box or barrel of dry sand or meld dust is a good place to keep them, and this should be kept in a room where the temperature is not allowed to get below 40 do- grees, or it may be in the cellar if kept up from the floor and where there -is good circulation of air. Permanent pits walled with boards and dovered with an open shed are excellent storage places for nearly all kinds of winter vege- tables. I prefer those to the cel- lar for best results, especially with apples, celery and root crops. The Poultry Louse. The body -louse crawls rapidly around the body of the fowl, irri- tating the skin with its very rough, file -like claws and is, consequently, very annoying to the fowl, and very expensive to the poultryman, for the energy that the fowl expende in fighting line uses up feed that should be used for growth, the ac- cumulation of fat, aud for egg pro- duction. When a Merl has access tora bed *1 road dust, fine dry loam, sand or sifted coal ashes, she 'will rid her- self of many body lice, bub she can, not get rid of all of them without the aid of some destroying • .agent applied regularly at intervals of a few weeks. These lice breathe through very small tubes or pores, and by cover- ing thovo with oil or filling them - with very Ciao powder, breathing is prevented and the lice are smother - .ed, .Cn account of the hens' long feathers, it is easier to dust with Dalmatian or Persian iuseeb pow- der, tobacco, sulphur or alrslaoked- lime, than to try to .'each the louse, with oil or grease.
