)dor a, ft,'ss days, after learning
that Inez leas ,going to Rome, lie
seemed. rather depressed and absent-
minded; but lis made no comment
regarding her movements, and ex-
erted himself in every way to pro-
vide for her oomfort oft the trip,
and was also most kind and attentive
to Mise Clairemont
When he, with the two ladies, en-
coesiate1'Od Mr..seaver'e party, on the
night of the reception, and he first
caught a glimpse of Florence, a ter-
rible shack had, for an instant, al-
most deprived him of the power to
move or breathe.
Surely that fair flower-like face
was the lace of Monica—surely -the
girt he laved was not dead, as he
had been told, but now stood before
him Ln al her froeh young beauty.
This was his first thought. But love,
such as lttl entertained for hes bene-
faetor',s daughter, is very keen, and
some instinct discerned an unfa-
miliar air and movement on the part
of Florence, although elle was won-
derfully like !!ionic;!„ and convinced
him that she was a stranger.
"Did you sec her ?" gasped Inez,
lasing a trembling !rand upon his
teem, just as they entered the build-
tn1g, while her etartled eyes, in
wllieh there was a terribl eSFar, eag-
erly eearchexl his face.
"Whom, senora?" quietly inquired
August, tease had now completely re-
covered. his self-possession.
"That ,girl just crossed our path—
Mb'zllca," returned. Inez, with tremb-
ling lips.
"I saw the young lady who was
wlth the alneeli.shman—who used to
visit you in Paris; I sats) the re-
semblance, certainly ; but sILu wad
not Senora Monica," August posi-
tively
osetivery responded.
"i, tell you else was," retorted Inez,
rlaesionatoly, ''leer face, eyes, hair,
were the same, and--"
"Phut, eenama, pardon—you have told
rue that the ,senora Monica is—dead ;
that she died in London," the young
man interposed In tones which he
tried err t'liu to 'keep steady; "how,
then, caultl silo appear to you, here,
in Rome?"
"'fes—yes—I know.—that is, she was
euppased to have died in that hos-
pital; but—but—there may, possibly
have been—some mistake," faltered
the ,girl, in name confusion.
She realized, too late, that she had
betrayed what for world site would
not have done, if she had not lost
command of herself.
"Ah, then you did not see her—
dead. :lobi did not attend her bur-
ial?" queetioned August in low, re-
pressed tones, and sweeping her
blanched face with his burning eyes.
"I? Alt, no; papa wouldn't allow
Lt, the doctor would not permit eith-
er of us because—because of the con-
tagion, ,you knows"
"Ah, then, yoe are not euro, from
your own personal knowledge ?"
questioned August ?
"a,:, of course, we are sure," re-
turn -Ed the •girl, impatiently, "only
that young lady, vv,hom we passed
just i ow, was so like her site gave
me a fearful start. Did you get
a full view, of her fare 2"
"Yee', senora, and it is true that

Inez saw her distinctly, and knew
that the girl ties Monica. Then,
with a stifled moan of mingled pat.-
' sloe and terror, nage shrank back out
of sight, her face as white as her
ltaneik.vrah.ef, and a gleam of vin-

She imme:dkl,tely sought I!rr.
Clairemont, who had lingered b' -

A few. moments attar arriving at

if ehe could by any means accom-

That same evening elle attended

more brad been needed to drive her

it was to find herself in a box e:l-

Seavers, and to s'e her recreant ad-

and sat down to await the. coaling
of her visitor with no little impati-
ence.
Ile came about a half an hour be-
fore lunch, and Inez thought she had
never seen hem look so well or so
handsome.
Gradually and sk'llfully Inez turned
the conversation upon the opera of
the provmourt evening, and the cam-
p's neon' she had seen with him. 1
Yes, ha said, they( were the friends
of whom ho }fail told her—:sir. and
Mrs. Seaver, and their ward, Miss
)lic}la.rdeon.
"Xln i -o you kilcm'n this Miss Rich-
ardson long?” she inquired.
"I halve known about her nearly, all
my life ; but lay personal acquaint-
n;nco with her is not of very. long
standing," he replied.

veins seemed turned 'to itiotten fire

ibaronet, upon whom she had poured

was in league with these people to ,
reinstate Woolen and rah Iter—Inez
—of be'r ill. -gotten gains.
But she dropped the, subject at this
pounced and which she invited her
companion co share with ]tor.
Sir Walter excused himself, upon
the plea of another engagement, tlut
made an appointment for a drive
with her for that evening.
The young baronet caine almost
every! day, bringing herflowers and
fruits, and showered flattery; upon
her to, her heart's content:
Then he w,ould go directly' from her
to Florence, and play the role of
devoted lover, accompanying her and
Mr, and Mrs. Seaver almost every-
where..
One day, while Inez King was mak-
ing puraltases in the -Via T3abutno
shops, she came face to face with
Monica.
Yes, she was sure now that the
girl was Monica ; for the look of
fear in the girl's eyes as they en-
countered hers, and tete deathly toad-
ies- that swept all the color from
her beautiful face, told her 'that
even before her almost rigid lips
parted to give utterance to her
name.
"Inezi—you here in Rome 1" she
breathed, in scarcely, addible tones.
"Hal Monica!" cried her treacher-
ous cousin, a look of bate sweeping
over her face and vibrating through
her every tone. "Then I have not
been mistaken—it was ;you echos! I
have seen several time,, after all.
Ah!—stop!— I--"
But the startled girl hard recov-
ered herself sufficiently to enable
her to turn quickly and 'sweep out of
the room, thus leaving her astonish-
ed cousin again alone.
Inez dashed after her, Inst Monica
made straight for the ether door,
crossed the Pavement and hq rang in-
to a ravaiting carriage.
When Inez reached the entrance to
the shop she utter a vehicle robing
rapidly down the street, but her
cousin was nowhere iu sight.
CHARTER XX.

The next wee'e would be carni-

ed to devote one evening of it to a
fancy, dress ball. Those invited ',sere
requested to act their :awn 'pleasure

would be obligatory; for every one
to appear in some character.
Inez learned that Sir Walter

necklace that encircla,l her perfect
reek and the crown upon her mid-
night head, tivith i dazzling cres-
cent, and all compo.:id of purr white
stores, were a marvel to every one
who keheld Mem.
Over her face she wore a mask of
black gauze, fringed with hold, while
from her shoulders depended a mag-
nificent train, borne by two pages,
also clad in black and gold, who fol-
lowed her as she slowly and with
haughty neon paced around the great
ball -room; in line with other char-
acters of every description.
It was a brilliant scene, for there
were hundreds of people present, in
every variety of costume and color,
while the display of costly jewels,
rare laces and fabrics, was unpre-
cedented ; but conspicuous among
them all Was the godless of Night
in her dead -black velvet and dia-
monds.

•She followed the llty queen for a
while, occasionally coining very near
to her, and becoming more and attire
convinced that she was correct in
her surmise that she washer cousin.
Deco she p:tusod and beckoned her
pages to her.
"Behold the lily queen," she said,
in a low cautions tone, and 'tvitll a

Again the pages nodded assent, and
there the trio .moved slowly on again.
As the hour drew near for unrnaslc-

tho Goodness of Night gave a Iow
exclamation of satisfaction as that
pearl embroidered face covering was
removed, and she found herself look-
ing directly into the Lace of the
wronged Monica, as she supposed.
She loosened her own mask at the
same moment and bent forward to
attract the girl's attention.
Their eyes met, and a7 flush of anger
went surging up to Inez King's brow
as the calm, beautiful orbs gazed
for an instant' into hers with an ex-
pression of well-bred surprise, but
without the •sii;htest sign of recog-

The treacherous girl drew haught-

"She plays It well," site murmured,
with savage vehemence ; "but—her

She glanced back over her shoul-

"August, look yonder," said Inez,
calling the young man's attention
to the radiant girl opposite them

Ile turned quickly and glanced in
the direction ,she indicated, all the
color receding from iaLs face:
A puzzled expression came into his
eyes as rhes' eagerly swept the
countenance of the lovely lily queen,
who was now conversing with Sir

He studied her closely for a
minute or two, then turned back
to Inez, a look of keen Main in
his glance

he quietly, but positively observed.

POTATO BI t HT AND ROT
The Cause of Serious Loss—
Some Preventive Measures.

Reports from many districts indicate
that potato blight and rot are again this
season eau.- lac; eerions lout to the farm-
er's of (liu(!a. '.ii(s disease has been
quite ltrevatlent in many !,arts of Onta-
rio and Quebec, and although a good
preventative is known in Bordeaux mix-
ture, few grower's seem to have spray-
ed their potatoes. Sir. 1,. 11. _New'luan,
of the Seed .l)iyisem, who visited nearly
every county ie Onterio during the sum-
mer, confirms tills statement and 1.: -
ports that in merry eases he found, that
growers were sadly wanting in knowlrge
of the disease and methods of preventing
it,
There ere two known blights while

is why you m st attack the trouble

Pink rails. Ala blotches, boils, ulcers,
pimples and paleness are the direet, un-
mistakable sasult of weak blood loaded
with impurities. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills conquer ,the poison; they drive out
0,11 the Impurities; they aetuadly make
new, rich, red blood; they strike right
at the root of all eemplexion troubles;
they are a positive and permanent cure
for e11 virulent skin • diseases like ec-
zema., scrofula, pimples and erysipelas.
They give you a clear, clean, soft skin,
free from all blemish and full of rosy
health. Mr. Matthew Cook, Lamenbon,
N, W. T., tells flow Dr. Williams' Fink
Pills cured ;!lint rof erysipelas after other
medicines lead failed. Ile says: "My
skin tries inflamed, my flesh tender and
some; my head ached; my tongue was
coated; I had chills and thought I was
taking fever. I tried several medicines,
but nothing helped nie until I began
using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and drove
the trouble from my system, and I am
now in tthe best of health. I think these
pills the best medicine in the world for

It is an every day record of cures like

Medicine Co., Brockvilla, Ont.
it is not nearly as injurious as the oth-
er. If the leaves are punctured by the
beetles or from some other cause the
disease gets a foothold easier.
The late blight is the one which
causes by far the greater loss, both by
lessening the crop ana by causing rot.
According to Mr. W. T. Macoun, korti-
culturist of the Central Experimental
Farm, this disease passes the winter in
the tubers, and in the spring when the
vines begin to grow it starts to develop,
growing up through the tissues of the
potato stem. During the latter part of
July it produces on the undersides of the
leaves myriads of tiny spores, which in
the mass lmve a frost -like apearanee.
These spores make the rust stage, which
is caused by the leaf tissues drying up
where the spores have been feeding on
them and causing dark brown spots. It
is from this stage that future infection
takes place. as the spores are carried ra-
pidly by the -wind and alight on the
foliage. They are also washed below
the surface of the ground and reach the
young tubers, and in titer. cause no
'rot. The potato rot itself is a dry rot;
the wet rot comes through decay of the
tubers. It is when the tubers begin to
form that the blight b:'gins to appear.
This is just after the potato has pass-
ed the most vigorous stage, the stege
when in a wild state it would be blos-
soming and nrodnring seed. At this
stage the constitution of the plant is
weakened, whiell probably slakes it
more subject to disease at this time. in
the Province of Ontario potato vines
usually dry up during the latter part of
August. 1Vhy should they die so soon
when they do not produce seed 1 If
the season is fairly favorable even the
earliest varieties may be kept growing
right on into September by thorough
cultivation and spraying. Tlie import-
ant points to get them past the per-
iod when they are in a weakened con-
dition, without injury from fungous dis-
eases or insects.
Experiments conducted at the 'Ver-
mont
er-
mont Experiment Station proved that
over half the crop of marketable pota-
toes was produced after August 22nd.
In Ontario the potato vines are usually
dead shortly after that date. The great
gain in keeping potatoes growing until
late in September is here very apparent,
Very marked results in spraying with
I3ordeaux mixture for blight have been
obtained by the Vermont Station, the
Irish Department of Agriculture, and
the Dominion and Provincial Experi•
mental farms. In 1001 experiments by
MMIr, Maeeun with eight varieties show•
ed an average difference in favor of
spraying of 100 bushels' of marketable
potatoes, and in 1902 with eleven carie -
ties the average difference was 124
bushels per acre. With the Empire State
variety there was a difference of 103
bushels per acre. In 1902 the vises were
sprayed four times, on July 10th, July
22nd, ,July 30th and August 13th, the
formula used being 0 lbs. bluestone, 9
lbs. lisle, 40 gallons welter. While the
Colorado beetles were active sighi
ounces of Paris green were added tq
each forty gallons of the mixture. For
large areas the expense for bluestone
would be in the neighborhood of $0 per
acre, and the total expense probably
not more titan $S or $9. Even at $l0
per neve the result of the above cxperl•
meat for 3902 would show a profit di
$38 per acre, potatoes selling at 40
cents a bushel.
These results should convince pot',
to ;:•rowers of the importance of spray.
ing their potatoes for the prevention 01
blight and rot. The work mast be thor,
ouglily done. Spraying should be began
by flee -mid111e of July and the vines kepi
'covered with ilte mixtin e !until 'the
close of the season,
It is generally recognised that some
varieties of potatoes have greater pow•
or than others to resist Ibis disease,
and it is safer to cultivate only varix•
firs which are superior in this respect;
