"Neth, then I'll be well content an Brogan's wheel„ that she' heard uoth-
ex ye no more questions!" said the old ing of voices approaching the cottage,
woman, and it was not until a shadow fell a-
, Sitting by, the kitchen fire, . while
Peggy-Jaue was busy about the house,
- Maggie would gaze into the red embers,
letting her thoughts travel far and
wide, though their centre was always
a gray -fronted house facing the sea
and an old-fashioned terraced garden.
"Yes, 1 shall marry him," she. told
herself. "When his guests are gone
he shall come and ask me. Strange
that 1 should 'care for him, that he .
should have the power of making- me
care when not one of all the others°
ever had the slightest influence in
spite of all the pail* they took to
please"
One after another she recalled them
to her mind—proposals in London,
in Paris, in Vienna, in Rome;_ men of
distinction who had loved her. How
gladly she had dismissed thein and
all they bad to offer! Now she was
sitting in an Irish farmhouse, waiting
for the man she loved and he no more
than an impoverished Irish pearl They
would Smile, her American friends, I
when her engagemtut was ennounced.1
How she would laugh with Michael
over the authoritative manner he had
assumed with her! What an innocent ,
creature he was to take it for granted
that he must stoop to her level! But
it was Just that courteous ' stooping
that had attracted her; that simpltc-
ity of his had won what others by
elaborate- artifice had failed to gain.
He had broken down her foolish pride;
he had too, without a shadow of doubt
proved to her that he loved her, and
loved her for herself alone.
After five days of rain and storm
t)te sky cleared and the sun shone on
a tranquil sea once more, Maggie,
sure that Lord Rossford would be oe-
upied with his aunt and her guests,
set out to visit her neighbors. Mary
McGee was out again on her couch,
eager to show Maggie how well she
could walk round the farmyard and
what an improvement, the new win-
dow had made in the kitchen. Then
there were the Brogans to be called
on, for, in spite of several attempts,
Maggie had not yef succeeded Id
reaching their cottage. She found
Mrs. Brogan spinning wool for a web
of homespun that was to make Patsy
a new suit of clothes. The wheel was
in the kitchen by the fire, and Maggie,
sitting down on a little stool, must be
taught there and then to spin,
Patsy, at his mother's call, came In
from the byre to welcome Maggie and
to fetch more wool from the loft that

cross the open doorway that she rats
ed her eyes and realised what had hap-
pened, Lord Rossford's visitors had
come to call on Mrs, Brogan.
Maggie's heart beat quickly. She
would have given anything not to
have been caught in this way, with no
possibility of escape. She pulled the
blue 'kerchief further over her eyes
and bent once more. over her wool.
Among so many well-known society
people there might easily be one who
would recognise her. She did not
mean to have her secret revealed be-
fore Lord Rossford had proposed.
She was safe for the . present. The
little crowd filled the kitchen, and
were so Hutch occupied with Mrs,
Brogan that Maggie was unnoticed.
She listened with an amused smile
on het' lips to their foolish admira-
tion of the little cottage, They prais-
ed its quaintness, the smoke -black-
ened rafters and the wide 'chimney,
not for one moment considering how
the wind must have driven the peat
smoke down that ill -built chimney, to
the discomfort of all in the house, be-
fore these rafters attained their pic-
turesque appearance. There were at
least a dozen of then—men in tweeds,
women in smart tailor-made frocks,
with natty little hats and veils of ex-
quisite texture and shade. Maggie
soon discovered that the tall woman
in gray, with white hair and kind but
commanding voice, was „Lady Giltyn,
Lord Rossford's aunt. She spoke to
Mrs. Brogan about the crops, the po-
tatoes, the • chances of blight, the
need of spraying. Then she turned
to the corner where Maggie sat,
"I'm delighted to see that you keep
up the old •custom of spinning your
own wool; you can buy nothing in the
shops to equal It," she said.
Maggie rose and curtsied.
"Is this a daughter of yours, Mrs,
Brogan?" asked Lady Giltyn kindly,
Before Mrs. Brogan could speak
Maggie had answered quickly in a
low voice.
"Pe, your ladyship; Pm oriy g
neighbour;" abe replied,'
"Well, I'm glad to see you wear the
pretty peasant dress. Let me ten
you It is much more becoming than
modern fal-tats," said her ladyship.
Maggie bit her lip. She could
have told Lady Gillyn that herself,
She hoped her searching eye would
not discover the incongruity of silk
stocking and French shoe&
"Lord Marswick, come here and be
introduced to a real Irish lassies" Lady
Giltyn called out.
To Maggie's dismay, a man she had
known not a year ago in Rome de-
tached himself from the crowd and
came to her side.
"How do you do?" he said politely,
and held out his hand.
Maggie put a delicate white hand,
with well -manicured nails, in his.. She
was certain that he looked at it
curiously, then he stared at her half -
hidden face. She raised her eyes and,
with well -feigned shyness, glanced at
him furtively under the shadow of her
blue 'kerchief, Lork Marswick turn-
ed away with no sign of recognition.
Then the visitors began to leave the
cottage, and Maggie, with a sign of
relief, heard Lady llllyn tell Mrs.
Brogan that they had left Lord Rossford
at the farm below, where he was ar-
ranging to have some • improvements
iiiade before the harvest began.
"fle is going to do wonders for
for you all --new windows and farm
buildings and every kind of fad,"
went on her ladyship. "1 only hope
you will be properly, grateful, for
it will be money out of 'the poor boy's
pocket that will never be replaced a-

Och, we'll not be waatfit' in grat-

'Wouldn't we be worse than cattle if
we didn't love hint, an' him the first
of his race that ever thought of us
an' our wants?" The genttettess of
her tone forbade any suspicion of
rudeness. But, to Maggie's horror,
Mrs, Brogan went on, "And it was

FEED LAYING PULLETS
i B
They Need Extra Food to Keep
Laying.

Wheat and Conn Preferred by Poul-

(ContributedbyOntario Deportment of
Agriculture, Toronto,)
A pullet requires more feed than
a hen, If it is lutended that the
Pullet +shall produce egge, A bird
to lay well must have a surplus of
feed over. and above body mainten-
ance. The excess of fend above body
maintenance goes either towards
growth, fat, or egg production. 'Why
the nutlet requires more feed than
i
the hen s because her growth is
usually not complete when she be-
gins laying.
Poultry prefer wheat and eoru to
almost any other grain, but a lot
depends on what they were fed when
growing. Certain feeds they never
have seen they do not relish; usual-
ly, when first fed. Hence one per-
son's hens oat oats or barley much
better than their' neighbor's. The
available grain feeds on the farm
are corn, buckwheat, barley, and
oats. Good wheat cannot be used.
The non -milling wheat, such as that
which Is sprouted, or very small, may
be used up to twenty-five per cent.
of the ration.
Poultry feeds are divided into
two classes; one, • whole or cracked
grains, commonly called scratch
feed; and the other, ground grains,
commonly called mash. •
Scratch feeds are generally fed
night and morning, and are scat-
tered in straw in order to induce the
birds to scratch or take exercise. A
mixture of two or more kinds of
grain usually gives better results
than one single grain, largely be-
cause individual birds' appetites vary
frc n day to day. A good mixture for
the winter month might contain as
much as fifty per cent, good corn,
either whole or cracked; if corn
could not be had, and the birds
were accustomed to ,eating buck-
wheat, the buckwheat would answer
nearly as well, or one could use
twenty-ilve per cent. buckwheat and
twenty-five per cent. corn. To the
corn or buckwheat could be added
twenty-five per cent. of barley, ten'
per cent. of wheat screenings, and
fifteen per cent. of good oats. If
one was obliged to do so, almost any
of the grains could bo fed alone
with the exception of oats. There
is too much hull or husk on oats
to use entirely as a single feed.
At present for a mash feed we
are using the standard hog feed. If
the ground grains are to be fed moist
or mixed with cooked household
refuse then -the mixture should be
one that will mix to a crumbly state,
but if Ted dry in an open hopper the
above is not so important.
The mash feed is the one where
the animal meals are generally
given. The.amounts vary from ten
to twenty per cent. of the mixture.
'b animal meals used are com-
monly high grade tankage and beef
q¢rap, ,Via xa pile $ag plenty of
ak nanll or uttermil the other
animal feeds are unnecessary. Some
use green, cut bone;- cooked refuse'
meat, such as livers, lights, beet
heads, etc.
A very good mash can be made
of one part each by measure of
shorts, barley meal, and grouted
oats. Corn meal could be used in
the place of the barley or with it:
If one le short of green food or
roots, it would be well to add one
part of bran. Perhaps the simplest
stash to feed from an open hopper
Is rolled or crushed - oats. We have
used this, when the birds had milk
to drink; for a number of years with/
excellent results.
Laying hens require plenty of
green feed. This green, succulent
feed, is very important. Too much
grain and no green food at times
is very dangerous. Cabbage is one
of the best green feeds. Roots are
very good, but clover leaves should
bo within reach as well as she roots.
Sprouted oats are used to a large
extent on poultry farms. When the
birds gat accustomed to a green and
succulent food it is generally wise to
give them all they will eat. A pen
of fifteen pullets will eat a fair-sized
head of cabbage almost every day,
or one hundred hens will eat a peck
of sprouted oats day after day.
Reap your pen sweet and clean,
but not drafty, Give the hens plenty
to eat and some variety to the feeds.
If you are regular in feeding and
kind in your manner, the hone us-
ually respond with very fair egg
production,
Grit and shell should al -ways be
within easy access.—W. R. Graham,

Mak of the transformation which
took place i --one who was so pnssitm-
ately bent on the destruction of the
disciples was now enjoying fellowship
with them,
1. Straightway preaching in the syn-
agogtie (v, 2e.) Saul, like every one
who is really converted, begins to tell
of the newly found Savior. 1Ivery Chris-
tian should be taught that it Is Isis
business as soon as saved to help to
save others. -
2. The people amazed (v. 21). They
knew that the vary one who had been
ringleader in persecuting the Chris-
tians in Jerusalem and hod come to
Damascus for the express purpose of
bringiog them bound to the chief
Priests, was now pitssiuntttely advo-
cating that which he had so vehe-
mently sought to destroy.
8. The Jews confounded (v. 22), Saul
retired into Arabia for three years,
During this time he was inught tho
full truth of his mission (Gal. 1:17,
18). Saul increased in spiritual
strength and -confounded tote Jews,
proving that Jesus was not only the
Son of God, but their Messiah, Ills
proof, no doubt, was by citation from
the Old Testament proirhecies, show -
Ing that the' life, death and resurrec-
tion of Jests exactly paralleled them.
That Christ flied and rose ngafn from
the dead, ;no one then could deny.; the
transformation of Saul frons a hater
to an ardent witness was a proof
which could not be gainsaid.
11. Saul Escapes From the Jews

ITe used the Scriptures with much
shill that the Jews could not answer
him. Finding that the argument was
against theta, the Jews took counsel
how they might destroy Saul. So in-
tent were they upon killing him that
they watched the gates ofthe city day
and night that they mlght-take him.
When this was known to the disciples
they let biro down at night in a bas-
ket by the wall.

TO MEMORY DEAR
From an English Journal is taken the
following' story, the truth of which
there can be no reason to doubt:
Returning home one evening, the
loving husband handed to his wife a
$5,000 life policy, with receipt for the
first year's premium. The good wife
fell upon his neck and kissed him.
Eigliteea months elapsed when the
loving husband departed this life, and
leis good widow comforted by the re-
membrance of the policy, erected a
white tombstone to his memory, end-
ing the inscription with.
Rest in Peace,
Then she called at the insurance and
presented the policy for her money
The manager explained that it had lairs -
.04 six months ago. History does, not
record what words the disillusioned
widow spoke but the next day a
mason added another lime to the tomb-
stone.
