The idea of the Ile child wandering about the streets, ble homeless and penniless, filled him with a supreme pity. He had meant to have spoken to Jasper about it but he felt half ashamed; besides, he rath- er dreaded to see Vermont's cynical nd smile at the idea of his turning philan- thropist to street -waifs. is He had just finished his breakfast vas when a servant appeared, with a i to dainty little note marked "immediate." re The envelope ,bore no crest; for I Lady Merivale used none in her corre- ofspondence with Adrien Leroy, from p ch prudential motives.

(To be continued), THE STOCKING BANK. Gold Kept at Home, Ridden In Stocking. There are still a few people even now, after all the public appeals, evho are hoarding up gold, says the Lon- don Chronicle. A speaker at a war savings meeting in Bloxwich (Staffs.) said he knew of ono person .who had £1,000 banked in a stocking. Apert from patriotic motives, he added, one would have thought that the oppor- tunity of an additional £50 as interest would have been sufficient to make the owner invest the money. Another instance comes from a moorland district of Devonshire, where the purchaser of a small hold - ng paid over 8800 in sovereigns and 5100 in silver, this sum having been marded in the hbuse for many years. The other side of the picture is rovidcd by the fact that 747 new Nar savings associations were formed recently, bringing the total to 12,827.

"I understand, guv'nor," lie said; "but what of the gal?"" "All you've got to do is to wait till she comes back; or if you find her about, let me know," replied Jasper. "Now,.be off, and remember I can lay my hands on you—and so can the police—any minute .1 like, so don't play me ahy tricks. Good -night." With that, Mr. Vermont turned on his heel and strode swiftly and silently away. Wilfer looked after him with a scowl. He's a clever devil," he said, as he, too, went on his way. . Clever, Mr. Vermont most undoubt- edly was. His worst enemies would not have denied him that virtue; but in this case his cleverness had over- reached itself. It had so amused him to torment his victim, that he had never questioned Wilfer's statement that the girl, Jessica, was his niece. Ilsd he known her identity, subse- quent events might have proved far different; but man, witet all his gifts, is blind as to the future; he sees as in a glass darkly, trusting and believing in his own feeble powers, as if he were omnipotent. Meanwhile, • Jasper trudged gaily along. "Strange;" he murmured, "how things work round for me.

TRE ,McINTOSH APPLE, Experimental Farm Gives the Result Of Twenty-eight Years' Test. Ever since the first orchard was planted at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, in 1888, the McIntosh apple has been under test by the Ex- perimental • Farms System and during that time much useful information, has been obtained In regard to this fine variety. In very severe winters when the Fameuse apple was injured, the McIntosh remained unharmed, thus proving that it is hardier than that old variety from which it is sup- posed to have sprung. For a long time the Melntosh apple had the -Re- putation of being a shy bearer, but in nearly thirty years' experience with it at Ottawa, it has been found to be one of tho most productive varieties under test: The tree does not often bear heavily, or overbear in any one year and then fail to bear the follow- ing year, but his an annual bearer, as a rule, giving a good_ and medium crop alternately, the number of small crops being few. Following are . the yields of one McIntosh tree plante<d_at Ottawe in 1890, the first yield being recorded in 1898, the 8th year after planting. Some trees of this variety will begin to bear in the 6th or even in the 6th year after planting. • The yields are recorded in gallons, but if it is desired to reduce them ,to bar- rels there are 24 gallons in a standard barrel. Yield of one McIntosh apple tree from the 8th year after planting, in gallons: 17%, 26, 87, 0%, 71%, 94, 12, 109, 8, 109, 411,x, 184, 60, 166, 66, 146, 112, 44, 149%, a total of 1432% gallons for 19 seasons, or an average of a little over 8 barrels per year, from one tree. It has been found by experiment that in Ontario, at least, the McIntosh is self -sterile, or, at least, practically so and to ensure a good set of fruit there .should be another variety or varieties, blooming at the same time, growing near it, The McIntosh apple is subject the Apple Scale' -Fungus, and in son eeasons if the trees are not spraye the proportion of No. 1 fruit will b very small. This year, at Ottawa, 00 was found necessary to spray th m- trees six tines with lime-aulphu rs, wash to ensure clean fruit, but th he reward was a large proportion of No td I1 fruit in a year when there was, 1 In many quarters, a very small poopor tion of No. 1 grade on unsprayed o poorly sprayed trees.
