CHAPTER `.CI.
It was strange but a very charming ex•
perience for Enid to wake the next morn-
ing and look about her. The window was
widely open. and the early morning sun-
shine was flooding the room.
It was a dainty little room, all white
paint and pretty flowered chintz --the sort
of room she had vaguely longed for.
0n the trans were hung some'ealer col.
ors;the nearest one has a view of the
Doge'e Palate and the Piazza San Barco.
Enid did not look at it twice. She turn-
ed. round on her pillow instead, resting
herself on her elbow, and she looked at
the garden.
Prom this eorner of the house she hod
an uninterrupted view of the country be-
yond the Rectory grounds; mod her eyes
filled •lvith tears as she watched the sun-
light .glinting the trees, and felt the warm
soft air fragrant with sowers steal

her up to her room the night before; in

Gresham, with a faint smile, "we are very
quiet here, especially on sundaye. I'm
afraid that is why Desmond does not come
to me as often as I should like,"
Enid had promised to rest and have her
breakfast sent up, but the morning sum
ehine tempted her, and she felt eo much
better that ehe got up, took her bath, and
dressed, and +then finding that she could
reach the garden by some iron steps from
the terrace outside her window, she des-
cended them.
Her unhappiness and her oppression
clipped sway from her .almost entirely fie
she wandered through the old-faehioned
Rectory garden.
The silence, the freedom, the profusion
of flattens, took her back to early (memo --

Colonel Downey saw that almost fright-

He was looking at Enid with undisguised
admiration in hie eyes He had never
seen her as she was this enornistg, She
was wearing one of her pretty frocks of
the year before, just a white cambric with
some embroidery on it. Her hair was
coiled loceely about -her head. She looked
young, a mere girl. The expre:'sion in
Hammond's eyes brought tale color rush-
ing to her fete.
Do you know, I really ,think we ought
to have a shot at q ourselves," she said,
"•I'm awfully strong. You take one and

'FROM IRELAND -TO BELGIUM,
Lieut. -General Mneready Preserved
Peace in Ulster.
Six months ago he was the most -
talked -of man in the British army.
The annoying thing about him and
what made him so tremendously un-
popular with the press at any rate
was that he refused to talk back.
This was at the time "King" Car-
son was installed in his place at
Craigavon and when battleships
cruised off Arran; when Larne was
regarded as being (much more inter-
esting than Calais, and a siege of
Belfast infinitely more probable
than a siege of Antwerp; Ulster
volunteers in their tens of thou-
sands were drilling, marching and
counter -marching and "spoiling for
a fight," This all seems so long,
so very long, ago, that there is no
harm in recalling it, more especial-
ly as we now better realize what a
hideous, unspeakable thing warfare
is, and it has become certain that
never again will anyone dream of
conniving at that most criminal
form of warfare, namely, Civil war,
Only a few months ago we seemed
on the brink of it, Gun -running
went merrily on, and the flower
and pride of Ulster's manhood were
preparing themselves with burning
zeal for battle. In the midst of it
all Macready very quietly and un-
ostentatiously arrived in Belfast.
No one knew exactly why he had
come or what position he hell ex-
cept that he Willi a resident magis-
trate. Some said that he was the
but gave no hint as to why they
were being moved. Interviewers
innumerable tried to draw him,
but the only information which they
got from him was that he considered
that both sides were showing self-
restraint. Nevertheless the Ulster-
men undoubtedly came to the con-
clusion that he was nut on their
side, but what reason had they for
saying so, goodness only knows. On
one occasion be and two of his staff
officers visited "King" Carson.
They were duly stopped by guards
at the entrance and eventually were
permitted to enter the royal pre-
sence. What happened at the audi-
ence, who knows? Macready cer-
tainly never told anybody. Very
possibly snipe -shooting was the
only kind of shooting that was des'
cussed.
Now, this quiet, unostentatious
manner one would have thought
would have made this well -set-up,
soldierly -looking man, with clear
but rather cold eyes, liked, but it
did not, because during the whole
time that he was in Ulster no one
had the slightest idea as to what he
was thinking or what be proposed

doing. He absolutely refused to be
a conspirator of a theatrical type,
and this is rather to be wondered at
because he was the eon of "William
Charles Macready (by his second
wife, Miss Spencer), who was one
of the mosttfamous actors the Eng-
lish stage has ever known and whose
representations of Macbeth, King
Lear, King John, and I'ago, are
still remembered for their extreme
bril]iance. Macready, the actor,
though a man devoted to his fiamily
and children, as his wonderful
diary shows, was a stern discipli-
narian, so very lfl:sly in his early
childhood General Macready had
the seeds of obedience and disci-
pline strongly implanted in him.
Still it Young lion.
He was born in May, 1882, so it
will bo seen that for his present
position he is a young man. He was
educated at Marlborough and Chel-
tenham, afterwards going to the
Royal Military College. In 1881 he
became a lieutenant in the Gordon.
Highlanders. Before he had been
a year with the regiment he made
the famous night march across the
Egyptian rebels' lines at Tel-el-Ke-
bir,

at Laing's Nek, Belfast and Ly-

services he received the brevet of

dal with six clasps, and the King's
medal with two sloops, and after the

Seeding Meadows and Pastures.
There is probably no agricultural
practice regarding which there io
greater difference of opinion among
formers than that of the methods of
seeding meadows and pastures. Thin
in largely due to the fact that a
stand of either clover of grass is do -
pendent upon many factors, such
as we athe t' conditions, soil and
quality of seed.
The most common meadow mix-
ture is that of red clover and timn-
thy. Where these arc sown to-
gether it is customary to sow the
timothy in the fait and the clover
the following spring, although fre-
quently they are both sown to-
gether in the spring, and occasion-
ally, in the fall.
The term nurse crop is applied 10
the small crop with which clovers
and grasses are frequently sown.
ltye, wheat and oats are cottimonly
used for this purpose, and are rank•
d for their efficiency in the order
given. Tho function of the nurse
crop is not directly to aid the clov•
urs and grasses as may be supposed,
but rather to keep down the growth
of wild grasses and weeds which
may crowd out and destroy the
,Young plants, Where weeds du not
bother, the clover and grass will
always make a better growth alone
than where they must compete with
the grain crop. Linder favorable
conditions, however, one can usual-
ly get a good stand with the nurse
crop and some returns may bo had
from the land while the meadow is
getting started.
Where timothy and clover are
sown with a nurse crop the first
crop of hay is usually obtained the
year following the harvesting of tit
nurse crop, although on the best
ands tt fair crop of clover may
sometimes be cut the same year
they are seeded. The first crop is
usually almost pure clover, the sec -
and about an equal mixture of clo-
ver and timothy and if left a third
year, the crop will be almost pure
timothy. Where sown alone, whe-
,her in fall or spring. a fair crop ,f
nay, although frequently more ,r
less weedy may be obtained tit•'
first year.
A stand of timothy may be main
rained for several year,, but r•'1
•.,ver is a biennial and most plc's'-
die at the end of the srcoud ycai,
