The L
dy of Lancaster ;
Or, Leonora West's Love.
CR1PTEE IV.—Continued).
"I don't believe Clod has anything to clo
with It," cried the old lady, violently. "If
Bedid He would prevent poor folks from
marrying, in the fleet place."
And then as she saw how patiently the
woman endared these taunts, she had the
grace to be aahatued of herself.
s
"Well, there, a there; z re say y you
• don't care to hear• your folks spoken of in
abet way," she t,aid, in a milder tone.
"But then Rit:herd West was no kin to
you, anyway •_only your huebaud's bro-
ther!'
Mee. Weer coulel net forbear a pertinent
little retort,
"And Captain Lancaster is only your
husband'a nephew eny lady, yet you take
a great interest in him,'" elle said,
Lady L' auoaeter gave her a keen little
glance. "Humph! Weet has some spirit
in her." she said to herself; then, aloud,
shereplied:
I can assure you the only interest I
take in him is because he is my Lord
Lam:aster; and as he holds tbe title my
late husband held, I should like far hien
to have money enough to support it pro-
perly. But if he does not marry to please
nee, you shall sea how little I care for the
young popinjay."
etre, West made no reply, and her mis-
trese continued, after . a moment's
thought:
Bust you really take the child, do"you
think, Weett?"
"I couldn't think of refusing poor
Dick's dying request." was the anew-er.
":;hall you make Your home in •Amari -
ca? continued the lady,
"01-1no, no; I should come back to dear
ole] England. 1 couldn't consent to pas
my last dare in a strange country."
Lady Lara aster was silent a moment.
Her eyes were very thoughtful; her thin
ligeworked nervously. Mrs. West wait-
ed patiently, her plump hands folded to-
gether over the letter that had brought
her such strange. unive]come news.
"Where are you going to live when the
child. comes?" Lady Lancaster snapped,
almost rudely:
"I don't know yet. my lady. I have
made no plans. I only received my letter
a' little while ago."
"You don't want my advice, I preeume?"
more enappishly than ever.
"I should be very glad of it," Mrs. Weet
replied. respectfully.
"Why didn't you ask for it, then?"
"I didn't. dare."
"Didn't date, eb? Am I an ogress?
Should I have eaten you if youhad asked
my advice?" demanded the iraecible cid
lady, shortly.
•' Oh, no, Lady Lancaster: but I shouldn't

Mrs. West replied, in her quiet way that
was so -strange a contrast to the others

"Very'well. I've

for you." replied the grim all. lady.
"A plan for me!" Mrs. West echoed,,
vaguely.
Yes. You shall not go away from Lan-
c':aeter Park.. You shall have the child
here:
"Here!" cried the housekeeper, doubtful
the were in her proper senses.
,
Why do you' echo my words so stupid
ly, West?"
"I beg your pardon. I was doubtful if
I .understood your words rightly. I
thought you .disliked children," Mrs.
West enewered, confusedly.
' I did, and do," tartly. "lilt, for all
that, I had sooner have Dick West's child
here than for you to leave me. You could
keep her .in your own rooms, couldn't
you? I needn't be bothered with her so-
ciety?"
'Certainly," faltered 'Mrs. West, in a
tremor of soy. She was very glad that
the was not *.o leave Lancaster Park,
where she had dwelt in peace and com-
fort for sixteen years—ever since her
faithful, hard-workidg John had died and
left ber a lone widow with only fifteen
round,. between her and the world. She
had thought herself a very fortunate wo-
man when she secured this place, and.
her heart bounded with joy at the
thought that she was to stay onin pensee
in spite of the inenmbrauee of her
brother-in-law's orphan child.
"Orr, Lady Lancrster, I don'tknow how
to thank yea!" she cried. "I ehall be
very glad not to go away from the Park.
I will keen Leonora very 'close, indeed 1
will, if you will allow me to bring 'her
here,"

paid tbe hard old lady, who lead never
had any children herself, and who waw
an old maid at heart. 'That ie all I ark
of you. Don't have her around under my
feet, and 1 shall never remember that she
is here."
"Thanks, m-- lady. And when aur I to
go and fetch my niece?" inquired the
honeekeeper, timidly..
"Youre not to fetch her at all. 1
thought I had told you that already,"
tartly.
etre. West's eyes grew large and round
with dismay.
Indeed, I thought you said I. should
have ber here," ishe exclaimed.
"tin I did. I ,=aid elle should be brought
here, but I didn't say you should go to
New York and fetch her heme!"
"But Dick wished me to go," perplexed -
lye "and how in ,ale to come if I do not
go?"
"She may come with Lord Lancaeter, the
first of June. I dare say ho can go :and
get her all, right."
"But at seems as if I ought to go my-
self,

like it indeed," whimpered poo airs.
West.
"F iddleet eke,! T do not care 'whether be
likes it or not," declared the octogenar-
ian, snapping her fingers. "II -e shall do
as I bid him. Aren't you willing to trust
the child with him ?"
"Oh, yee, my lady." declared the house-
keeper, with a eigh of relief.

'Yee. Look here, De Vere. I wonder if

De Vere, emphatically. -
"I used to like Aunt Lydia—rather—be-

flectively. "Slee was always tai t and

Harry De Vere, lazily.
"It is something I have to carry home

victim, dropping his head back among'

station one . Jersey cow produced ,
three times as much milk and but-

other cow that was her half-sister.
The• difference in the cost of feed

and both received the sante good

tested the herds of eighteen, farmers
and found the same conditions to
'prevail. The best ten cow's aver-

While the poorest the cows aver-
aged 109 pounds.They found at
least one-third o f. the cows in the
ordinary herds to be unprofitable.
Many ,herds in other localities have
been tested with the 'same results.
It is the rule rather than the ex-
ception for cows in the same herd
to differ widely in the -milk pro-

ly and decided disapprobation.
For she was much too pretty to be a.
nurse, he said to himeelf—too pretty and
too young. ,She had an air' of refinement
quite above her position. She had an
aa'ch, pretty face, with beautiful blue -gray
eyes that were almost black when the full
white fide and dark lashes !trooped over
them. The dazzling fairness of her com-
plexion was heightened by the unrelieved
blackness of her dress, and her pouting
lipe,by contrast'•looked like rosebuds. Two
long, thick braids of lovely chestnut
brown hair hung down hes back, .and
some soft, fluffy rings of the eame color
wca'ced over the low, broad forehea<l with
its slender, dark brows. She was not only
beautiful, she looked bright and Intelli-
gent, and the half smile, that parted her
red lips now made her wonderfully lively.
But pretty as she was, she was aware
that Captain Lancaeter was regarding
her with knit brows and a general air of
entire disapprobation, Perhaps it was a
novel experience.. It seemed to amuse her,
The dimplee deepened around the ;sweet,
arch mouth. She looked down at tbe card
in her hand, and began to read it aloud
in a soft, hesitating, inquiring voice:
"Cap-tain Lancaster?"
"Yes," he replied, and was on the point
of making hie moot elegant bow when he
suddenly remembered that it was not at
all necessary to be so ceremonious with
the nurse of his housekeeper's niece, So
he straightened himself up again and
said, almost tartly:
"You are the baby's nurse, I presume?"
The long fringe of the eirl'a lashes lift-
ed Is moment, and she flashed a dazzling
glance into hie face,
"The—baby?" she inquired.
"Yee—the little Miss Weet-the child
that is to v'o to En.glend under my care.
Aren't you her nurse?"
The young lady had piit a very small,
white hand up to her face -and coughed
very hard for a moment. She looked at
him the next moment, very red in the
face from the exertion.
yes, certainly; I'm the nurse,"
she replied, demurely.
And then ensued a. moment's silence,
broken at last by the girl, who paid, quiet-
ly and politely
"Won't you be seated, Captain Lancas-
ter?"
Ile dropped mechanically into a chair
near Dian, but the pretty nursemaid re•
mained standing meekly in the centre +,f
the room, her small hands folded before
her. a demure look on her fair' faee.
The seller cleated ]iia throat and be-
gan, rather nervously:
