rather wearied, but they arc most •of
Mein extremely comfortable and cosy;
and "The Woodman" at Car•ysford was
no exception to the rule. Stafford looked
round the low-pitched room, with its
old-fashioned furniture. its white din-
ner cloth gleaming softly in the sunset
area the ,Arelight,, and sighed with a nod
of satisfaction. e.
"This is something 1 g r lis e, eh, old man?"
he eatale and even Floward deigned to
nod-approvingiy.
Yes,he said. "If anything could
eoinpensate one for the miseries of
travel, especially that awful drive, this
should do so. T confess I had leeIced
forward to a. crowning discomfort in
the shape of a, cold and draughty and
smelly room, fried chops or a gory leg
of mutton and a heel of the cheese made
by Noah in the Ark. I fancy that we
are going to have a decent dinner; and:
I trust I may not be disappointed, for it
is about the only 'tiring that will save
rlty life. Are you dry yet? -You looked
as if you had been walking through a
river instead of beside it."
"That's just what I have been doing,"
enid Stafford, with a laugh. °"I've had
an
adventure—"
".I know," interrupted Howard, with' a
sigh. "You are going to tell nue how
you took a trout six foot in length, how
it dragged you a mile and ahalf up the
river, how you got it pp the bank, and
how,: just as you were landing it, it
broke away and was lost. Every man
who has been fishing has that adven-.
lure.
Stafford laughed with his usual ap-
preciation of his friend's atnnsing'cyni-
crsin; but he did not correct him; for
at that moment, the neat maid -servant
brought in the trout, which proved. to
be piping hot and of a golden -brown; and
the two men commenced a dinner which.
as compared with the famous, or infam-
ous one, of the London restaurant, was
Olympian. The landlord himself brought
in a bottle of claret, which actually was
,round, and another of port, in a wicker
cradle, which even- ?reward :,deignetI'to
approve of; and -t1 two .men, after they
.1"-••..lisit13•ltgetgii` over their dinne'r,' got into
eeseechairs . beside the .flre and smoked
their cigars with that sweet content-
ment which only tobacco can produce,
. 'and .only then when it follows a really
kood meal.
• "Do you know bow long you are going
to. stay at -your father's little place?"
Iloward asked, after a Ling and dreary
silence.
Stafford shrugged his shoulders
slightly.
ansti ered my word.
ni like the schoolboy: l'1
don't know nothink,' I suppose I shall
stay as long as the governor does; and,
come to that, I suppose he doesn't know
how long that will be. I've got to re-
gard him as a kind of stormy petrel;
(here to -day and gone t0 -morrow, always
on the wing, and never resting any-
where for any time. I'm never surpris-
ed when I hear that, though his last let-
ter was dated Africa, he has flown back
to Europe or has run over to Australia."
:se -es," said Howard. musingly; "there'
fe an atmosphere, of mystery and ro-
ananec about, your esteemed: parent, Sir
Stephan Cameo. which smack of the 'Ar-
abian -Nights,' my dear Stafford. Sian
of the world as I and I must confess that 1
I regard him- with a kind of wondering
awe; and that I fallow his erratic move -
rents' very ; much as one -wouldfollow:
the celestial progress of a particularly
splendacious comet. He, Dever. ceases to,
be an object 'of- wonderment to me; and
I love to read of his gigantic protects,
his vast wealth, his brilliant successes;
and I. tell you frankly that T am looking
forward to seeing him with a mixture
of fear and curiosity. Do not .be sur-
prised, if, at my introduction, 1 fall on
my knees in Oriental abasement. I have
admired him so 'much and so long at a
distance, that he Lias assumed in my
eyes an almost regal, not to say Imper-
ial, importance."
"I' hope you will like hint," said Staf-
ford, with a touch of that Simplicity
which -all his friends liked.
"lad.' he refgenililes his son, I am sure
f"o .do s'0," said Howard, "Indeed, in any
ease I am pretty sure to do so. ' For how
often have ,I read of his wonderful
charm of manner, his winning smile and
brilliant conversational powers?' When.
do we get to this fairy palace?" '
"Isuppose if we get there before d
.in-
ner, it will be time enough," replied
Stafford. "By the way, I'd better ask-
how far it Is. Don't ring. T want to go
up for some. more eigars."
He went up to his room, and in gettl
them from his bag, saw the little 1
strument case be had thrown into 1
bag when he was changing. He slipp
the wallet fn .his pocket, and when
reached the hall he turned to the 'op
door of, the little room which served •
the landlord's office, or bar -roost.,' T
landlord was enjoying a cigar and
. glass of whisky and water, and he open-
ed the door still wider and gave a re-
spectful smile of welcome.
"You have a very comfortable hotel

of Opening; the conversation. "We have

"Tris as good as the port, if I may say
so."
Stafford accepted, and presented 'his
cigar case. IIe asked the distance to
the new house on the other side•>•of the
Lake, and 'raving been informed, spoke
of the fishing.
"You did very well to -day, sir," said
Mr. Groves, "You were fishing in the
Heron water, ,I suppose?"
This was what Stafford wanted.
"Yes," 'he said. "I was poaching. I
mistook it for the Lesset water. 1 must
go over and apologise to Mr. Heron. By
the way, I was told I" was poaching bY a
young lady who rode down to the stream

conversation with her, but I did not
learn her name, She was a young lady•
with dark hair, rode a big horse, and
had a couple of dogs with her -a collie
and a fox -terrier,".
The landlord had nodded assentingly
at each item of the description.
"That must have been Miss Tea. -Miss
Heron, the squire's daughter, sir," . he
said -
Stafford's brows went up.
"No wonder she stared at me," he
saki, almost to "But are you
gure? • lrize ycrutng lady Issaw was not

and she was looking after some sheep
ike-like a farmer's girl."
The landlord nodded again.
that was Miss Ida, right enough,
sir," he said, with a touch of respect,
and something like pride in ,itis tone.
'Indeed, it couldn't be anyone else. No
doubt Miss Ida had come down to look
iter the sheep in the valley; and
here's no farmer's daughter hi the vale

s she. There isn't a girl in the coun-

im poorly dressed -well, there's a reas-
n fo• that, sir. The family's poor -

"Yet the dale seems to be called after
hems?" Stafford remarked.
"It Is, sir," assented the landlord. "At,
ne time they owned more land than
nv other of the big families here; miles
nd miles of it, with some of the best
arms. But that was before my time,
hough I've heard my father tell of it
here's not very much left now beyond
he dale and the home meadows." He
ighed. as he spoke and looped sadly at
le costly cigar which he was smoking.
'he feudal spirit still exists in the
earts of the men who were born in
hese remote dales and towering hills,
nd the landlord of the little inn was as
roud of the antiquity of the Heron,
family. and as sorry for its broken foi'-
tines as any vilein of. the' middle ages

Heron Hall used to be a fine plea°.
t one time, sir. I can remember my fa -
her describing what it was in his and
is father's days; how there used to be
cores of servants, and as many as fifty
ooses in the stables, with the great
ace filled with guests summer and win-
a spring and autumn, The Squire
eron of that time never rode behind

mendous drain going en; for it was

Yes, it's a wonder, when you come to
think of it, that she can smile and laugh
and be as cheerful as she is. I often
hear her .singing when,: she's riding
through the dale or along the road here.
Miss Ida's wonderfully liked by all the
people, sir; in fact, you might say that
they worship her',"
I can understand it," said Stafford;
almost to himself.
"It must have been great change to
her," continued the landlord,' "coming
down here from London to such a wild,
out-of-the-way place; many young ladies
would have lost heart and Dined and i
fretted; but she's a true Heron, is' Miss
Ida, and she faced the thing fairly and
buckled to, as you may say. She took
the whole tiring on her shoulders,,.., and
though she couldn't coax the squire out
of his shell, she takes care of him and
runs the whole place as if she- were a

frights her."
- At this juncture Howard sauntered
out of the sitting -room, and he and
Stafford went to the open door and look-
ed out on the exquisite view which was
now bathed in the soft light of a newly
risen moon,
It stili has it smack of Drury Lane,

the way of a landscape we at once com-
pare it with a stage `set.' The fact of, i't
is, my dear Stafford, we have become .1
absolutely artificial; We pretend to ad- I
mire Nature, but. we are thinking ' of • t
a theatre all the time; we throw up our
'eyes ecstatically when we hear a night-
ingale, but we much prefer . a comic t
singer at the Tivoli. We talk sentiment, t
at least, some of us, but we. have ceased d
to feel it; we don't really know what it
means. I believe some of the minor poets
still write about what they call Love e

what it means; and if you do, you're far

such'art uncomfortable emotion.
Stafford "smiled rather Absently; ho
was' scarcely listening; he was so ac
eustoned- to Howard's cynical diatribes
that more often than not they made no
more impression on Iran than water. on
a ducks back. Besides, he was thinking
of Ida Heron, the girl whose strange
history he ha,d just been listening to.
There was silence for a minute or two,
and while they stood Jeanine against
the doorway two mon came out of an-
other door in the. inn and stood talking.
They were commercial :travellers, and'
they were enjoying their pipes -of ex-
tremely strong tobacco -after' a hard
clay's work. Presently one of them
said:
"Seen • that place of Sir Stephen
Orme's on the hill? Splendacious, isn't
it? Must have cost a small fortune. I
wonder what the,' old man's game is."
.The other roan "shook his head, and
laughed, .
"Of course 'he's up to some game. He

The use of this succulent fe
for sheep has attracted the ate

feeds, such as roots, farmers al
constantly raising theuestian r
archq
yarding the feeding of "silage
sheep. A great deal has: been sal
of its bad effects upon sheep, b.
these have arisen either because a
inferior quality of ,silage was fed
on account of carelessness,Ori th
part of the feeder in not feding
properly.
A good quality of silage 'is e_
tremely palatable and can be fed t
all classes of sheep with good r
sults. It must be borne in min
however, that silage which is eithe
very sour, moldy or frozen .shoul
not he'fed. •
The amount of 'silage reported 1
feeding trials varies from one t
five pounds per head per'day, Th
amount to feed depends upon th
class of 'sheep and..the character o
the other feeds comprising the r
tion. As ageneral rule, from tw
to four pounds per head per day i
considered as much as should b
fed.
