" Go as far as the church," be

this beautiful morning, Ask the

.Ho had not tire time- to spare;
but the moaning'was fine, and
•some strange instinct that ltee could
coulee not account for hurried him
on.
`'Why are you ringing this 'merry
chime to -day ?" he asked one of
the ringers, a walte-headed old man,
whose arms were wearied, and who
sat resting on one of the green
.graves.
"Why ? Because the great Sir
Owen is married to -day, Master
Lonsdale."
"Married!" cried Felix. "Married
to Whoth ?"
The chiming ceased end the wind
fen a.s the old man answered
"Married to Violet Kaye."
CHAPTER. XXVI.
There are no finer woods in Eng-
land than the woods that surround
Sramber Towers. Braintree is a glor-
• taus estate, and the woods extend
to Lifford. Time; ratan the massive
background of trees which helps to
render the old church so picturesque
and artistic.
The Earl of Arlington, the master:
of the Towels, had but one fault
an the eyes of the county —he was
too fond of travelling. It was no un-
usual thing for the Towers to be
closed for two or three years, while
the earl, with leis wife and daughter,
delighted in fair continental cities.
Lt ;was the one drawback to a noble
character ; for Lord Arlington was
one of those fortunate men, who was
born with a keen sexise .of duty. He
was a model land -owner, a model
landlord, a model country; gentle-
man. Wiien he was at the Towers,
eeerytliing was sure to go well; he
had a keen sense of justice —be gave
himself the trouble to examine
thoroughly into everything. He was
never away, in:pnticut, or unjust. IIs

ret.
The countess was a beauti-
ft:a quiet, reread woman. One of
her great characteristics was her
sympathetic manners. She possessed
that keen insight into the hearts and
feeling, of others which creates sym-
pathy. It was natural to her to feel
intensely the sorrows and joys of
others. There were two children --
The young heir, Lord Bramber, who
was still at O:ford, and Lady Maude
Dramber, a lovely. young girl about
two yeitrs elder than her prother.
Lady Maude inherited her ruather'd
peeullar13- sympathetic nature. She
was as gifted as elm was beautiful,
and the one thing in which she ex-
celled was art. eihe would have made
•enc of the fittest painters of the day,
,tad she not •beer) an earl's daughter ;
as it was her pictures were far sup-
erior to those of many well-known
artists. It was at her solicitation,
that Lord Arlington returned home
that autumn. She hail seen the fin-
est parts of Europe—the most a11C.-
turesquo, the most beautiful —but
there was nothing she liked better
than the fine old woods round T,iram-
ber ; and she loved them best in au-
tumn, wl.ten the leavos were falling
and tee glorious tints on the foliage

So site Went alone into the 13rant- ti
bel' Woods. She Wadded li tele
sketches of Englieb, trees in their. t
ruby -tinted autumn dress, and some
of titre finest in England grew- amidthee fern and bracken in the Bran,-
ber Woods. She had no fear. Why
Could she have any ? The sky was
blue, tl.e sun bright and warm, the
air full of music and song. As site
entered the woods she fancied that
she heard a faint chiming of distant
bells.
" nay are the old church
bells of Lilford," she said to
herself ; "what a mellow, richsound ! I shalt not hoar it present-
ly."
It died &..way as she entered the
green glades; the wound could not
penetrate the' thick masses of foli-
age.
"I want oak, ash, and elm," she
thought, "tend here I shall find allthree-"
There was a broad open space,
and, a majestic oak spread out its
groat branches there. It was like to
little kingdom in ,tself, this won-
derful oak—a great .green kingdom
with a life alt its own. Near it
stood a. very fine elm, and in the
distance she saw, the branches of a
fine ash -tree. Not far from there
was a pretty little brook, so clear
that lone could see the pebbles at
the bottom of it; it ram with a
sweet, musical ripple that was a
song In itselrt. The birds were hav-
ing an entertainment of some kind
in the green kingdom of leaves, and
the 'noise they made over it was
continuous.
As she beea.me absorbed in the keen
delight of her 'sketching ,sem forgot
her feathered neighbor's. They no
longer disturbed leer. Tele wind
sounded like an Aeolian harp among
the trees, bat that was music she
liked ; the merry rabbits hopped
among the bracken and fern, the
(squire; 1s it1 iye.i among the spreading
boughs. It was all so still, so peaces
frit, ,so beautiful, that elle thought
a =ho cattle sit there ek'tiehing forever.
Once she was- <:esturbed ; site fancied
time from the long western glade on
the other u 11m of her there came the
sound ex reckless running .footsteps,and then of a heavy fall, but after
a moment or two etc concluded that
it wails only the rabbits.
"They are havpag a 'steeplechase,"oho said, and 1a'tghed at the idea ;

Felix had intended to take
up his burden bravely. and
carry it nobly; but human lore and
human passion were too strong for
lam—he coulee not face the world
,just yet. He stayed all night in
the shelter of the 13ramber Woods,
Suing hard battle wlth his despair.
He watched the sun set and the moon
rise; he watched the golden stars
come out one by. one ; be watched
the cheek'red shadows that the ino:)11
threw upon the grass; he listened to
the wind as it sunt; its sweet song;
lie thought of 1111 the moonlit nights
en which lie had met 'Violet. He
fell asleep for a few short moments,
and dreamed that he stood under the
wet lilac bushes with her ; Iter arms
were clasped around his neck, her
beautiful face was raised to his, and
she was wattling hila even in a dream
he could not believe her false. He
woke with a cry of rapture. There
lay the cola moonlight,. there stood
the giant trees, unci Violet had rnar-
ried Sir Oven.
All night he stayer' there. It was
the one terrible battle of his life.
He was not asbamxcl to impart all
his sorr:,w to the listening stars.
They had listened to Oenoue's wail-
ing when beautiful Paris left his
love. This story ,of man's love and
woman's folly, of man's trust and
woman's treachery, of love forsaken,
and forsworn, was nothing new to
then'. There were times that. night
when he almost went made, when
he cried aloud for death. But Hea-

pale, weak and exhausted; but
that one fierce paroxysm had taken
the sting of his sorrow away. It was

hausted Item. When it had passed he
was too weak and too tired to suffer

pened. She had not spoken of his ab-
sence, but site looked anxeonsly at
his face when he came in. He bent
down and kissed her.
"It Is all over, niadre," he said.
"Now I shall live down my pain."
Bate looked sadly at the wound
on lies broad white brow.
"How did you crit yourself so ter-
ribly, Felix?" she asked ;and ixe told
her. It was one of his great merits
that be never spoke a false or eva-

The following is the report of 11Sr.
A. W. Grindley, Agent of the De-
partment of Agriculture in Great
Britain, regarding an important
branch of the Canadian export trade
in food products.
•
The Canadian egg trade is ina
good way, best brands selling as
high as fresh or Daniell selected,.
The eggs are clrieflya shipped in the
Canadian box, witrx fillers holding.
thirty dozen. The style of package Is
popular, and being of good quality',
gives general satisfaction. A limit-
ed number of eggs are shipped in the
foreign bux, which holds twelve long
hundreds (1,110 eggs). The eggs in
these large case& are packed in straw,
or excelsior, and are put up in this
style at the request or the [import -
ems. Continental and Irish eggs are,
packed in dile style of package.
13otlt fresh and glyeelines have
come forward late in tete year fen
large quantities; the quality) was
good, but the total shipments have
odnot 'been co large, owing to scarcity]
eggs in Canada.
According to a 'book recently pub-
lished in Russia, that country, boasts
et having left Denmark behind as
regards export eggs. R esian com-
petition in butter, eggs and poultry
is .becoming veryj serioue by reason
of adopting up-to-date methods, and
these products are becom'eng much
more popular on the British mark-
ets, owing to the improved quality,.
Russia, Denmark and other foreign,
countries are now taking greater
care in selecting, grading and pack-
ing eggs, as well as getting them
marketed as fresh as possible.
These foreign eggs now, arrive reg-
ularly several days every week, as
well as regularly every week of the
S'ea.r-
Thtr bulk of these eggs are per-
fectly clean, and are graded into as
many as six sizes,• se that to -day.
the L'rttisl] imparter is not inclined'
to speculate as in former years, and!
will have little. if anything to do'
with Stocks which have been• in cold
storage^.
As Cana:diet exporters have to
meet thus oempetitlon, great care
must be taken in selecting and send-
ing forward only eggs which are
perfectly fresh, clean and graded in -
During
During 1903, tete United Kingdom
imported 19,518,897 great hundreds
(120) of egge, veined at £6,017,019.
Cariada'S share of this large trade
amounted to only 1157,080 great hun-
dreds, valued at £313,:71. The im-
ports from Russia, amounted to
£1,800,421, and from Denmark, to
£1,04S,3G7. Germany, Belgium and
France are the other leading ex-
porters of eggs to Britain, each Of
these countries sending from throe
to four times as many as Canada.
Bacon and Iiaani Trade, 1903.
Mr. Grindley! also reports as role
lawn concerning the bacon and ham
trade.
Canadian mild -cured bacon and
name are beeemiug very) popular la
Great Britain, and are preferred to
those imported from the United
