Or, A Dark Temptation
CHAPTER, XXXL-(Cout'd)
The world eeemed to whirl around her
and then stand still.
She recognized him instantly as the
keeper of the Morgue,, the man who had
been so useful to her in helping to cheat
Percy Granville into the belief that the
dead girl who so closely resembled his
lost love was indeed Little Gay.
But in that thrilling moment a daring
thought, came to the brain of the deener-
ate, guilty beauty -she would deny that
she was the came person who came to
him on that fatal errand that night.
She looked at him proudly, defiantly.
"You are quite mistaken," the said, cart
ly, "I have never seen you before."
In vain he protested, repeating every
word of the conversation that passed be-
tween them on that eventful night.
She shook her golden head and turned
from him impatiently, and the motion
maddened him.
He made one great stride toward her.
Be seized her delicate wrist in his great,
strong hand.
You hypocrite!" he cried, gazing down
fiercely into her beautiful, defiant face,
you have used me cleverly for your tool,
and now you would deny me. You do not
ohoese to remember how you pleaded with
me to help you in your nefarious scheme,
telling' me I might name my own reward.
You gave me a false name and address,
but that did not daunt me. I have search-
ed all over to find you and tell you what
my reward must be. Listenl you need not
try to take your hand away from me,
for this hand must be mine! That is the
reward I ask for what I have done for
you; refuse, and I swear, before the sun
rete, the whole world shall know that
strange story."
Evelyn. St. Claire's lips grew white and
dry; she recoiled from the man in loath-
ing too deep for words; he saw it, and
it exasperated him.
The effrontery of the man's proposition
almost stunned her.
Looking up into the hard, grim face,
she saw that he meant every word he
had uttered.
Like a flash, remembrance came to her,
too, that Percy might come at any me-
ment and find the man there, and her
very soul within her grew sick with hor-
ror as she thought of the terrible denoue-
ment that would be sure to follow.
"Perhaps my proposition has been too
sudden for you," he said, frightened at
the deathly pallor that was spreading over
her face. "Give me a little encourage-
ment," he went on quickly. "I have no
intention of being harsh with you, for I
love you -I have loved you from the first
moment I looked upon your face. Do
not madden me by attempting to deny
your identity; your every feature is en -
graven too clearly and unmistakably for
that on my heart. I will give you a week
to make up your mind whether you will
marry me, or whether I shall tell the
strange story I have to tell, to the world."
Even while he spoke, a fiendish thought
was flashing through the guilty brain of
Evelyn St. Clair.
"We will walk on through the copse -wood
and talk this matter over, she said, with
a. desperate calmness that surprised even
herself.
i If he had not been so desperately in
love with her the glitter in her steel -blue
eyes would have warned him against her.
Gladly enough he consented, thinking

. It is useless to deny longer all that
you have asserted," she said in a low
voice. "I admit the favor you once
irranted me, and now I ask if there is no
other way in which I ean,,cancel it than
becoming Your -your wifeP'

the very idea of it made the angry blood
leap like fire through her veins; she
longed to 'turn upon him with the fierce-
ness of a tigress and dash him to her feet
for the very audacity of his presump-
tin•
"No, there is no other way," he re-
plied decisively. "You are a beautiful
woman, and rich; why should I not exert
my power over you to make you my
wife?'
I am rich, as you say," she answered
steadily. "I would, and could, make it a
great object for you to go away and leave
me in peace; could gold bribe you?"
"I would rather have your sweet self
than all your gold," he replied; "you
are the first and only woman who has
ever touched my heart. No, no, you can-
not buy me off with a less bribe than your
own sweet self."
The linea around the heiress' mouth
grew harder, and the steel -like glitter
deepened in her oyee.
She had led him by a circuitous path
through the copse -wood to a stretch of
around which joined her own ground in
the rear. It was screened from the stone
house on the hill by tall nodding poplars.
It was a dangerous locality owing to
the fact that a shaft had been sunk there

"How much you care for me, Evelyn,"
he groaned.
The pale, blonde face drooped until it
rested against his shoulder.
The great love 'she lavished, upon him

lie stopped abruptly and looked at her,
Still no gleam of the truth dawned up-
s Evelyn.
Every heart should be mated to the
one for' which Heaven intended it. Is it
lot so? he asked earnestly.
"Yes," rsplied Evelyn, slowly.
"You would not care to keep your pledge
to me to be my bride if you' thought I
slid not love you, would you?" he pur-
sed flushing painfully.
"No," replied Evelyn, little dreaming
that he would say next.

"Evelyn," he went on huskily, "what
should you say if I were to tell you frank -
and honestly that if I were to lead you
to the altar, it would be as an unloved
bride? I would save you from this before
it is too late. I throw myself upon your
mercy to save yourself and to save me.
I will live up o my engagement if you
hold cue to it,"he said slowly, "but I
cannot deceive you. I must tell you the
truth -my heart has gone out to another,
and yet my word is pledged to you. You
hold your fate and mine in your own
slender white hands, Evelyn, my dear
airs," he whispered hoarsely, "and I leave
it with you to decide what our future is
to be."
How little he knew there would be lit-
tle hope for him if the decision rested
in the hands of her who was deaf to all
else save her deep and desperate love for
himself,
She had sinned so terribly for his love
-was Heaven intending to wreak this
bitter vengeance upon her for spoiling
the life of Little Gay?
But no -she would marry him in spite
of all -she would hold him to his promise
though he hated her. She would never
give him up.

abyss Evelyn paused, casting a quit
nervous glance about her.
"Nothing must come between me and
my hope of being Percy's bide," she mut-

panying noticeable earthquakes,
and the name "gouffre" is applied
to both.
Its noise extends sometimes over
periods of weeks and the vicar of
Croix des Bouquets, fifteen miles
north of the mountain range, gives
the following description of it:
"During the day the sound was
heard from the south-east and
seemed to come front a great depth.
It was like a deep roaring and then
at times like the howling of a dog.
From time- to time it stopped with a
hollow boom which might be taken
for a distant cannon shot.
"During the night it was differ-
ent, although the sound came from
a different direction ; there was a
perfect tumult, rumbling of thun-
der, howling and a wound like the
rushing of a strong wind. There
was no wind, however. Sometimes
one heard all the noises at once.
Generally and above all, from 7 to
10 o'clock at night, the sound ended
with a loud detonation much
stronger than in. the day, followed
by a long echo. Then again would
be heard an outburst that cannot
beaimaigined. It was as,if -a moun-
tain of glass were shattered and the
noise echoed in. all directions. At
tiiltes it seemed as if one could hest'

thud of objects falling, such as

The Value of the Milk Shed, '
Every farmer should build a small

in whish to stand the co*s at milk-
ing time. The nearer the barn the
better.
It should be well ventilated in the
summer and made warm during the
winter months by setting up fodder
around it oe lining it with building

arranged on the wall for hanging
milk pails in places of safety while
the cows are being led to and from
the shed.
If there are any sore teats, caked
udders or other ailments to be
treated, the milk shed offers a safe
place in which to do it quick and
any trouble with the animals in
hand will cause no disturbance
among the other members of the
herd. Spraying solution is also
easier applied in the shed than any-
where else.

ing' time the milk shed removes the
difficulty of feeding the cow that is.
being milked in sight of the other
animals. Some cows will fret and
worry away a large portion of their
milk if another cow is being fed in
sight or hearing of them. Then,
feeding the cow in the milk shed
makes it unnecessary to use so many
feed troughs.
By keeping it well cleaned out
and properly drained the milk shed
is always ready to lead the cow into
and milk under agreeable and sani-
tary conditions. If it be in the sum-
mer time the shed may be darkened
and the pesky flies thus got rid of,
which means a lot of solid comfort
to both the cow and the milker, as
well as a greater amount of milk.
With proper ventilation such a shed
is also much cooler than the swel-
tering dairy barn where the ani-
mals' breath combined with the
heat of their bodies contribute lib-
erally toward the maintenance of a
high temperature•
- Danger from Rotten Apples.
'One of the first things to be done
is to pick up and burn or bury all
refuse fruit _ in the orchard 'Which..
is decaying or entirely rotten These,
form a veritable hotbed for the mile- •
evens orchard pests -to hibernate
duringnthe winter- months, being al-
so ideal places in which the same
pests deposit their eggs for season's
hatching, and by shaking off all 'the
apples that are still clinging to the
branches of the trees and packing
up all that are under them, next
year's crop of orchard pests will
be considerably cut down.
Do Nat Feed Moldy Corer.
Moldy corn will produce blind
staggers in horses, and it should
never be fed to them. Every year
there is considerable trouble with
this disease in the West, and in al-
most every ease the cause is moldy
corn. If this corn does not produce
blind staggers, it will tend to in-
jure the physical condition of the
animal. So don't feed it, and be
careful about pasturing the horses
in stalk fields where there is moldy
corn.
