her lover laid the ntaatuesque beauty
of a. Geek god.
"I never waste one thought on a
men's, face," he replied.
But Violet's quick instinct told
her the awkward baronet was jeal-
ous or the young lawyer.
The quadrille was over, but he
would not leave her. She must go

Piously. Sir Owen had been asked' to play
croquet and had refused. He had
taken a bird's-eye view of the
party—four old motile and a hopeless
school girl. It was not in his line,
ho assured Mrs. Hunter. Re would
rot engage himself in any parti-
cular way ; he would only, linger and
wait, watching for the next...glimpse
of the beautiful face that had set
las heart and brain one fire,
He saw her at last, standing with
Felix watching the playere at lawn
tennis, and the next moment he was
by Iter nide. Lady Rolfe, eyeing bin•,
whispered to Mrs. Hunter :
'Si•r Owen seems to be infatuated
with Violet flaye. Some ono eboukt
tell him she is engaged. Dear lire.
Hunter, would you mind sayings that
I should like to speak to him ?" And
¢1to smiled a well satisfied smile
when she saw the vicar's wite de-
liver her message.
"You wish to speak ter me ?" saki
Sir Owen, approaching Lady Rolfe
with an air of ill -concealed impati-
ence. .
She ,saw that he looked annoyed,
and had recourse to her favorite
weapon—flattery.
"If it is permitted to an elderly
lady like myself to feel. jealous, 1 cer-
tainly am jealous. We are old friends
of nearly' two months' standing, yet
yon have not spent five minutes with
me. Sit down here and give me your
views about the fete."
Ungraciously enough he took a
eeat by her side. She saw him look
with angry eyes at Feiix and Violet ;
but Iiadyn Rolfe was a woman with a
purpose. It took much to daunt her.
"I have no views." be declared ang-
' rily'. "I ani quite tired of people with
views."
"Clever men ate all alike," re-
marked her ladyship, a.nd bis face
softened a little at the words. "At

she sold, "and beautiful music."

preme type of industry, says the
iLondon Chronicle; But even the bee
communities are disturbed by those
of their own kind, who break through

and at this time. of the year the
marauders seem particularly active,
Having gathered no honey, or, at any
rate, an insufficient supply forthem-
selves,• they will descend upon a hive,
kill fes. industrious occupants and
carry oft the golden treasure in an
astonishing short space of time, ,We

Sometimes hive will attack neighbor-
ing hive, In such cases the old straw
skip was better than the Modern
arrangement, for a knife thrust
through the top would break the
comb and set the • honey free, at
which the thieves would instantly
return to seal up their own store.
