But how much elle could see now, the

been right when he said to her net to

if they were the' halting places of an

Ile had never, he told himself, feet quite

hell had told her, that ehe could defy
the decrees of life and death, that she
would succeed, that the .justice which ehe
disbelieved in wee yet somewhere, and
that she would one day 'wield it to her

What good could it 'do, her mother agile
ed herself, coming to London, reviving,
the 1011010 story? She had ;toped, Lady
Glaucourt, that now ehe would really go
in for art seriously. Rhe even suggested
that .till things had quieteddown. she
should go eem0Where for a few months

offered to go with her. Ile was sorry for

on wl'ich she had appealed to him, Itad
brought out what w110 best in flim, and
since he bad taken himself to took for
not having looked after her better. There
had even been a touching episode between
them .in ,vMch ehe had said:

It seamed to Frawley as if something had
been missing that would have helped her
not to go the pace 8o much. But even,he
111d not know quite how fast -the pace had
-been at one time. For she had told him
an untreth that night, and although he
knew that it was an untruth, he thought
that le, under the

But Lady Judith had. no intention of
going abroad, nor of. disappearing, On
the contrary, thin time she was going to
manage her affairs a great deal better.
With grim humor, ehe ,told herself that
she had had enough experience to do so..
That awful night had %been one of the
revelations which the fates offered her as
nn education. Instead of showering her
with gil'te, they had .taught her flow to

Officers Who Started Their Military

That it is quite possible for a.
private to rise, step by • step,
through the- British Army, to the
rank of General, we are reminded
by the news of the recent death of
Sir Luke O'Connor, who was 'one.
of the earliest rankers to do this.
He enlisted in one of the Welsh
regiments when a young man, went
through the Crimean War, was
given a commission for signal bra,-

was crowned by his being made a
full general and a•knigllt.
But Luke O'Connor 11'as not actu-
ally the first of these noted rankers
who rose to be celebrated generals.
Probably Sir John Falley could
claim that distinction.
John Elley entered the Army by
enlisting as a private in the Horse
Guards, :and he so won the confi-
dence and commendation of 'hie su-
periors that he was given a'coin:-

On the Farm
Profitable /fog Pastures.
W, H, Underwood in ]harm Life
• While there are several ways of
ranking hog,pa'sture's, I have 1011114
the following Very satisfactory.
Early in spring prepare to rich piece
of ground, Ail old feed lot rich in
plant food, and very likely in dis-
ease germs, too, oars be made apro-
fitable pasture, and the breakingof
the ground .preparing of the •'.seed
bed, and the grouting crops "may be
a valuable sanitary measure,
• Of course .a.good -seed bed is an
important factor and •when. this iq
made drill in one and 'a half bush-
els of early Data and barley mixed
half and half. " Beardless barley
should 1?e used as some' will likely
mature ,and ripe barley beards are
-not good for hog feed; Then follow
with a glass seeder sowing a mix -
tare of four pounds Dwarf Essex
rape" seed, ,three pounds timoUhy
and eight pounds of. legume seed
pear sore.
I have been using alsike medium
and mammoth clovers but this
spring shall include alfalfa. The
more kinds of -legumes suitable for
rashly sowing the 'better,
1 cover the seed with a weeder
going crosswise. A light spike
tooth harrow will 'answer also.
When the rape is about six inches
high which will be in six to eight
weeks depending on the season .and
the time of sowing ,the hogs inlay' bo
turned in. The rape, ba,r'ley,and
oats will "furnish abundant pasture
for about' twenty-five shoats per
acre.
Last Until Late Fall.
In the meantime the ,timothy
and clovers are growing to sup-
plant the maturing barley .and oats
and with the rape will furnish a
well balanced ration until covered -
with Snow.
The economy of this plan is only
realized when one finds, as I have
found in every trial, that the next
year it furnishes the best meadow
or pasture on the farm.

ing 28 inch woven wire, this will
turn pigs, and with two herbed
wires above t1+il1 turn all kinds of
stock.
Last year I supplemented such a
hog pasture with Canada field peas
on an adjoining lot, sowed just as
soon as the frost was out of the
ground (which was plowed the pre-
vious fall). the hogs. having free
access to both lots after the bulk of
the peas were ripe.
This lot, enriched by pea vines
.and hog voidings, was plowed the
latter past of July, rolled and, har-
rowed twice, and the 3i'd of Aug-
use I'sowed alfalfa 'thickly in a seed
bed that suited the factidious tastes
and exclusiveness of this legume.
Alfalfa regards every other plant
as an intruder and weed and hence
the necessity for thick seeding la
rich, well prepared ground.
Double Seeding of Alfalfa.
In this case I used a !land seeder
for sowing the alfalfa, going 'Over
the ground twice' to `get a more
even distribution o€ the seed, using
twelve pounds each timet:
I covered it by going over': tib
ground with a weeder, then cross-
ing, and the thick even stand and
luxuriant growth made last fall
proves the extra seed and work a
good investment.
A good yea'r'ly rotation tti"inake
cheap pork from spring pigs in six
to seven months is as follows: A
hog pasture as I have above de-
scribed, a suitable sized patch of
Canada peas which are best suited
for'so'uthern sections ;'.,for southern
sections soybeans and cow peas
can be substituted, and a patch of
sweet Coin, an early and a, late
variety separated by a• hob fence
when the early variety is ready to
pasture, thus prolonging the feed-
ing season and avoiding waste.
1 am' perfectly confident that
those who try the above mentioned
plans of malting ;log pastures will
be entirely pleased with . rho- 'lre-
:slllts,
