The Jews marry early, and had Adolphe continued to live in Frank- fort, it is likely that he would have married long ago some daughter of "le haute finance," but something be- side business bad keit him from it all , these years, the instinct hardly defin- ed, that as his money increased so his ideals would expand, and that the wife who would suit Adolphe Lieb, the son of old Lieb the jeweller. of Frankfort at five and twenty would not suit the multimillionaire at thirty five, He was conscious not only that he could now make a great marriage but that in a sense on marriage de- pended his greatness, that he could not realize his dreams alone. Why even the Gollings had made further progress into the heart of London exclusiveness than he had, and he was certain that it was Mrs. Golling's doing. He liked Mrs. Golling very much, and had not minded when she told him that having brought Azuma to London, having her in the house in Park Lane had done him harm. He had even laughed, probably because he felt so innocent, but he had yet to learn that if the world doesn't care how criminal you are if you don't look it, it also doesn't care how inno- cent you are if you don't look it. And no matter how young or how old, how pretty or how plain, of what race and what color a woman is, no matter what the links that bind them, or if nothing binds them, a man who lives in Park Lane with a woman who is not his wife, must not be surprised if society raises its eye- brows. In matters of worldly knowledge, Adolphe Lieb was a babe, younger if anything than he had been ten years ago at Frankfort, because busi- nese had abvorbed him to the exclu- sion of everything else, and because South Africa and dealings with men outside the pale of cultivated and ad- vanced civilization, had thrown over him something of pristine savagery. Lady Judith was conscious at once of his simplicity of mind and of the rugged savagery, which had become second nature and which lent him a charm he had not possessed as a Young flaneur on the streets of Frankfort. Yes, they had met at the right mo- ment, and when he saw Lady Judith it seemed to him as if he had just found something that was missing from his house in Park Lane, which he had always known was missing, but which he had not known how to give a name to. So a man might see and recognize a picture which he knows has once fitted into a panel over his own chimneypiece. Once during luncheon . without knotting that he did so, he wondered how a beautiful necklace would look round her neck which ich he had had made from the neck, diamonds ofhis mine,a necklace fa lling in dropss in double rows of drops ofwhich one the connecting 'oin could not see n n g ) deof tear rolling clown giving thea a axe g w a cheek one after the other, and which lay at his bank waiting like a guil- lotine for a neck. She pleased ]aim, pleased him as of old Rebecca had pleased Tsaae. This was the woman of his dreams, and the only think that troubled him was wh'ether the idea, the fancy, the de- sires which had outlined themselves during luncheon were destined to end in dreams. Was she always as nice as this to everybody? that was what he wondered. That Lady Ju- dith'Roach should marry him for his money, that never entered his head, his only doubt was whether he should ever see her a ain. And when Mrs. Gelling, with her fine perception of the decorous .and the pleasant, had left them alone, while she went to the schoolroom and nursery, , lie liked wayhe made him It beside het Choa s n the sofa while-they,talked of• • a hundred things whish nterested him 0 telling u Prosentty ho was nor about the mutes, about his anxieties, the fearful disappointments the crowning successes, the charm of the Veldt, He never remembered to have been so drawn out by any woman forget- ting that partly he enjoyed cher con- versation because he so seldom talked to a woman of the world, or a woman at all, except Azuma, while she, it only occurred to her after he had gone, that she had never before fprgotten that she wanted to marry a man, in her interest in the man him- self. Yet it was so. Away from her home, from her mother, from the surroundings which, till the end of time, would each one be an associa- tion with the terrible past, with the sensation as of skimming the ocean close to quicksands, or instead, tak- ing perilous flights, she had been not perhaps so much her real self as she was now. Now she was more what she might have been, and being an intelligent woman, all he told her in- terested hex, while the way he spoke of billions where others talked of thousands, had a strange fascination, such as she had imagined great wealth would bring, without being quite able to picture it. Yet slie knew that he had no wish to dazzle her by what he told her. The descriptive words fell by acci- dent here and there, when he spoke of the new railway he was building, of his plan to build another town in South Africa. When he left, Lady Judith tried to find out within herself why she had been actually happy during that hour's talk, and she unagined that it was because by the feehng that the man was beneath her in position, that there would be no striving to catch hold of him, that she had only to put out her hand, that, as she de- scribed it to herself "it was all go- ing so easily." And at the Gollings' party to which they had persuaded him to come, Judith telling him, chaf- fingly, that if he didn't go she wouldn't, she had seen the quick bright gleam of recognition in his eyes as they met hers again, and they had seemed to resume the conversa- tion where they had . left it. 'That was what gave her a feeling of re- pose and certainty when she went in search of him when later he was missing from the bigger rooms, and which gave a note of joyousness to her tones when she exclaimed: "Dear me, what is all this about? Bra-rr. How angry everybody looks. I'm really frightened." Anyone less frightened -looking could hardly be imagined, but the joy- ousness pierced, as her eyes alighted on Adolphe Lieb, arguing . with the Premier's secretary, who seemed real- ly annoyed. "What has Mr. Lieb done?" The way she seemed to protect him from the aggressiveness of her own class, her radiance (for she looked radiant to -night), the way she seem- ed to envelope him with the same camaraderie which she assumed to- wards Mr. Du Canep leased him. He raised his eyes to hers,with an ex- pression cession of ischief, as if he appeal- ed p pp ed to her to come and save him from the rating he was getting and the look pleased her.'If only alis ances- try had not been quite so ancient and more Saxon, he really would have been quite like any other man, she told herself. "Come here and persuade him to listen to me." In Lady Judith's pre- sence the Premier's secretary drop- ped the aggressive tone which was almost a bullying one, in which he had been talking to Adolphe Lieb, It was impossible to withstand Lady Judith's beauty, even when one didn't approve of her morals, and of late she had found herself entering an older clique, a more serious one, per- ' lisps, anyhow one which suited the new ese which had succeeded h et the p , s eof a Jenne fills andwhich hesitations hl 3 , gave samethyn, almost matronly to her appearance. She Was more' like a young married woman now, and she was intelligent enough for men of intellect to enjoy a battle of argu- ment with her. "I don't know whether T shall, per- haps it would be far better if you lis- tened to him," She came nearer, and her look seemed to say to Adolphe:. "Don't mind him; take your own line." "He won't believe that if he per- sists in his Cape to Cairo project that we shall all be plunged in a. second African War," "Perhaps he isn't at all certain that you political people aren't al- ways glad of a war of you can only pull it off properly." Adolphe Lieb laughed, and the sec- retary looked very annoyed. He was one of those men who are so fussy and important about things that no- body can control, that when anything occurred which he might have con.' trolled, nobody paid any attention to him. He was dreadfully serious, and Judith's flippancy annoyed him. He had come here to -night on purpose to meet this man, -and to bring him round to his opinion, he had not wanted to give the meeting the im- portance of an interview -at a club but this opportune party of the Gol- lings, fostered by Lady Glaucourt, had seemed just exactly the thing. Now Lady Judith took off from the solidity of the discussion. Women were always so dreadfully unreliable. To Mr. Du Cane she seemed almost like a traitress to her own country. "After all, I suppose that in time there will be railroads everywhere," she went on, "and if Mr, Lieb likes to take the trouble, why not?" She smiled sweetly at Adolphe Lieb who stood away from the conversa- tion as it were, listening to these two, who belonged to the same world, dealing with the things which he alone understood. "It will mean a rising of the whole • of Egypt against it, and we shall either lose Egypt or—" "Or have to take it" Adolphe Lieb put in the words suddenly with a flash of fire. "Which would mean war with the world," put in the secretary coldly. "War with the world, oh, Mr. Lieb, that you must not allow." "I, what have I to do with it? I merely suggest what I know we shall have to do presently, it is for the Government to accept or refuse," he shrugged his shoulders. At that moment a group of people entered, chatting and laughing. Gol- ling was amongst them and Mr. Du Cane turned towards him with relief. Golling was so much easier to man- age, but then as everyone knew, Gel- ling would have sold his soul to be- long to the Carlton Club. "Come away from such serious topics." Lady Judith could hardly have torn him from the group that was advanc- ing towards them, and from the tire- some secretary, with more outward display, if she had taken him by the coat with her hands and pulled him. It was positively indecent, a woman had said who was of the little party; disgusting. But she and he understood each other. If there was no love, there was at least that complete entente which might lead to it, and as fox him, he could only explain her friend- liness to' him by the sincerity of lik- ing. She had no reason to be so nice to him since she was so beautiful, he thought, since she- held a position which had made the Glaueourts of sufficient importance to be sought outb o G s to run them in Y the llin g London. Andbreezy the bwhich she Y wa Y in had dealt with the Premier's secre- tary had given him an insight into the immense potency of a woman of the world in assisting a man's career. Somehow to -night he could imagine them both sitting ogether on the ter- race of the house in Park Lane screened from the eyes of the crows{ by panels of green leaf, or driving together, and discussing the great schemes which his brain thought out which he was equipped now to deal with, and which, for all Azuma's in- telligences had been restrained, limit- ed in their vastness by her savagery and want of tuition. Judith had led him to a little room, within another of medium size, which gave from the large room on the ground floor. It led into a coriserva. tory where a fountain reaalied, andd tall plants gavean illusion of sum merr, summ&and country seen through is and foga, .er a mists n h a through tears, but she was too en- grossed with theese forthe lash of water tremind her f e past, the small room, the low divan on which he threw himself' by her. side, "seemed to hese them in from the world beyond Far away the votee of a prima -donna engaged to sang for the night at.an increased fee of a hundred pounds, if she agreed not to insist on being listened to, sound-, ed like a cry from someone perishing in a distant sea, while occasionally through the open doors one could hear a laugh, or the sound of a Mao's or a woman's voice, as thoY came or went up and down the stairs. "Wes it tireaonye of me to bring you away, did You want to go on dui - aiming Grape to Cairo, or whatever the thing is?" "No, I was very glad, I couldn't understand him' he'seemed' to want the railway, and yet not to want it." "1 suppose that he wants the rail- way but not the war." "Ah they are always ready for war, 'You were quite right, Lady Ju- dith, onlyI know that they would like me to do it, and then if anything goes wrong to put it on to me." Lady Judith laughed. "You mustn't let them frighten you into anything," she eaid demurely, and he laughed. He wasn't the kind to be frightened, yet he took what she said as she meant it. She seem- ed to say clearly: "Because you are not one of us, they will, of course, try and get everything out of you, wring you dry lilts an orange, and throw you away." "I want someone to take care of me," he said laughing. "(Yes, I really think you do." "I shall always consult you first," "You are laughing at me," "No, indeed I am not, I think that you would always advise a man very wisely. She half closed her eyes as, she ut- tered the next words, as if she were alarmed at her own audacity, fearful of how he might take it. "They say that you are very well advised." "Oh Golling, I never take his ad- vice," "I didn't mean Golling. I meant well, are you going to be very angry if I tell you what I meant?" "Do I look angry?" His manner, his words, his voice were almost caressing, they seemed to say: "Could I ever be angry with you?" And she thought that hie blue eyes, "so unjewish," she said to herself, forgetting that some of the most beautiful eyes in the world have be- longed to Jews, were very, very pleasant to look into. "Well you know everyone says that you have an adviser a woman ad- viser too, a dark lady you brought from South Africa." There was a moment's silence. It had never seemed to matter so much whether he had or not, as to -night with Lady Judith beside him. He wondered why she had men- tioned this, whether it was in order to warn him of the attitude of Lon- don, or whether it was the barrier which would come between him and her, whether she was trying to break .it down, whether she was asking for, an explanation, and in the face of her friendliness, it seemed as if she had a right to know. Fora few seconds as he told her the story of Azuma, his loyalty swerved ever so slightly. Rather than lose this woman, Lady Judith Roach, he would part with Azuma, he thought; then as he talked, his strength came back, he would never, never part with Azuma, never. It would kill her, it would bring him ill -luck, it would be infamous. Ile loved her loved her as he might have loved a dear, sister, whom some ab- normal phenomena iiad produced with a dark skin, but he would never turn her away. The Jews are more moral than other men' when they are not, they invariably ;look after their mistresses. An Abraham casting out a Hagar and an Ishmael, with nothing but a cup of water, would not be tolerated by modern Judaism but Azuma was not his mistress. Delicately he told Lady Judith this, and she thought it was the most wonderful story she had ever heard. It fascinated her, I feel somehow that all my good fortune is connected with her, that if I were ever to treat her badly, to send her away I should lose my money, my luck." He laughed a lit- tle nervously. There was no know- ing what effect his story would have on this beautiful girl, with the Ma- donna's face. "No it would be very wrong of you. You must never never part with her, not even if—if you married, don't you know. After all a woman who really likes you would not wish you to do so. Why she is evidently your mascotte, and one day you really must lot me see her." He breathed a sigh of relief. (To be continued.)

The location should also he, as far removed from these, sources 08 convenience will permit, writes Mr. R. W. Trullinger. Properly to safeguard wells against outside contamination, first, all sources of contamination should be removed as far as possible. If local conditions and prices will permit, it is a good idea to provide impervious floors with watertight drains for farm buildings and stock pens, Un- der the same conditions concrete man- ure pits might well be provided not only to prevent the liquid manure, from polluting the neighboring soil, but to save the manure. No garbage, manure or rubbish should be dumped into sinks or basins in the immediate neighborhood and these should be fenced off and kept free from pollut- ing matter. The house should be provided with some method of sew- age disposal, while slops and garbage from the kitchen should be put into tightly covered garbage cans and dis- posed of by burying in the fields, burning or feeding to pigs. The use of privy vaults and leaching or over- flowing cesspools should be absolute- ly avoided, since they are likely to be sources of the worst contamination. Every farmer should become ac- quainted with the various types of wells and the best methods of protection, and the well should be so protected as to exclude filth from all those sources of contamination which it has been impossible to re- move • or emove•or have been overlooked. In the selection, location and sink- ing of a well, it is 'always a good idea to consider permanence in addition to safety. This will depend on the kind of well used, and one should be ac- quainted with all types and methods of sinking. The well should penetrate to levels below that of the ground- water surface in the dryest seasons. Dug wells are generally circular ex- cavations three to. six feet in diame- ter. They are adapted to localities where the water is near the surface, especially where it occurs in clayey material and requires extensive space for its conservation. Bored wells are wells bored with various types of augurs from two inches to three feet in diameter, rota- ted or lifted by hand or horsepower. They are usually lined with cement or tile sections with cemented joints and often with iron tubing. They are adapted to localities where the water is at medium depths and to materials similar to those in which open wells are - sunk. Punched wells are small holes usually less than six inches in diameter sunk by hand or horsepower by dropping a steel cylin- der slit at the side so as to haul and lift material by its spring. They are adapted to soils in which water oc- curs within 50 feet of the surface, but not at much greater depths. These wells should he lined with tile, iron tubing or sheetiron casing. Driv- en wells are sunk by driving down- ward small iron tubes, usually 1Y., to 4 inches in diameter and provided with point and screen. They are especially adapted for use in sand and similar porous materials carry- ing considerable water at slight depths and are particularly desirable. where the upper soil is likely to be polluted. - 5' Police licences are issued to women cab -drivers in Paris. immireasemin More than half a Century of Quality is behind every package of ENSON'S • Corn L r. etlucry & co,'a PREPARED CORN itirdwarAil ww.

National Banner of Our Ally Since 1830. -The French have always favored the colors of red, white and blue, and throughout their history red banners, white plumes, and blue scarves have been largely used in connection with royalty and the army. The French national flag, the tricolor, however, which combines the three popular colors of France, is comparatively modern. The flag was first adopted about 17,94. A decree was issued which gave to all flags a knot of tri- color ribbons at the top of the staff, and later the red, white, and blue design waschosen for the national flag. Some years after it was abol- ished for the white flag of France Henryade ,for byV , r I and it was not until 1830 that the tricolor came into its own again. Since then° the flag has been the national ban- ner of France. The divisions on the tricolor are not all the same size. The red occupies the largest space, the blue is slightly smaller than the red, and the white is the narrowest stripe of the three. The space occu- pied by the colors has been scientific- ally worked out in order to make, the flag visible at long distances, a ne- cessary asset for naval purposes. France had numerous national flags before it adopted the tricolor. Al- though its present banner is not par- ticularly artistic, its predecessors ranked amongst the most beautiful sin the he world. 'The first French flag was extremely quaint. rnt, It ` con- sisted oa bluhood hung on a cross bar and represented the cloak of St. Martin, a saint greatly revered by the French, and years ago his helmet was carried by our allies in their wars to inspire the soldiers. The second French ' flag was . a beautiful banner of red, with its loose end cut into three tongues, resemlr ling flames, between each of which was a green tassel. Some picturesque bamlers were at one time carried by the French war- riots before the tricolor waved over the French battlefields. There was the sky-blue cavalry standard with, the golden sun of Louis XIV., the white end gold banner of Joan 4 Arc, magnifieently embroidered with and lilies and the Madonna angels, banner of the city of theamens oldh r ftY Iris with ship 1 ice white on a blood- ied red field Tho tricolor forms the base of nearly every flag connected with the army, navy, and merchant ser. vice of France.
