THE DEAREST GIRL
IN THE WORLD
Lord Wedderburn went home deprees-
ed in spirits. Ile felt ill at ease and
eeetless in town. lie could not stay away
irom Castle Royal, yet he did not feel
eontented. there. His mother's face was
elwa.ys full of reproach, though she said
hut lithe
He felt her eilence as if she had spok-
en, but she had recently returned from
is visit to Lady Emily Mitrehmont, and
had heard something that disturbed her
greatly.
They had opened wide the great lib-
ary window, and the cool breezes swept
through the room. Lord Wedderburn
eat just outside the window smoking a
(igar.
Lady Home sat by the window, sew-
ing.
The conversation turned upon the
.inarriage of the Earl of Dunntven. Lady
Alicia had no faith in the ending of Mitt
marriage, She had greatly disliked thei
non, Mrs, llontague Smith, and pitied'
he earl.
"He is greatly to be pitied with suele
a blight on his life as I ana sure that'
woman will be. She fills me with as.
much disgust as the Weston Homes. By•
ilia way, Reginald, what do you suppose'
they said? Lady Emily says the West-
on Homes were at a musicale a short'
time since, and ahe sat near them, and'
that vulgar woman was telling solute
young man what plans her son had whew
lie came heir to this estate. He was go-.
ing to rebuild Lenthill and let it. It!
was a downright shame that you let the
small estates go to raok and ruin. Thati
he a-ould show the world he could. man-•
age them much better than you have,
done. He intended to fill the old places)
with guests, get off the lease of thea
town house and occupy that in seasons.,
The listener turned to Lady Emily',
when they left and said, 'What limpid
ficent prospects the young man has!'"
"I do not understand that he has,
any great prospects. The present heir
is a comparatively young man and will
-perhaps marry. So he bases his pros-
pects on very uncertain things."
Her listener soon moved off and the
conversation put to an end.
"My son! My son! If I could onl:sd
get you to see it all -to understand the'
sehemee and plans that menace you -I
am sure you would believe me. You
have no idea of the life I have led all
these years. I do not think could rest
in my grave and know that the Weston
Homes were in poseession of Castle
Royal."
There was sreal pain in her voice. He'
felt that. he had caused her all this"
grief, and. he had no right to do so. He
loved. hie mother very tenderly. He
saw the shadows on her face.
'Where did Miss MeRay go?" he ask -e
ed. He saw her face kindle with pleas-
ure.
"Up in Ireland." she replied.
She did not tell him that she corres-
ponded regularly with Miss MeRay, and
had never given up the great hope of
her life.
"Why don't you like her, Reginald?"
"I did not say I did not," he said,
rather evasively, but her face was ails
aglow now. •
"But you did not care for her, Regin-
ald, and I am sure she loved you very
dearly. If I could only have her for a

most miserable and lonely life with
that terrible dread sword hanging over
my head."
"It is not as happy as it might be for
us," he said, think ea nassure
you that Weston Home never be
master here."
She looked at him from under her
lashes. There was a peculiar look in
his eyes and a strange tone in his voice.
"I intend going for a short trip on
the continent, and I shall arrange mat-
ters as soon as I return."
He had never before told her this.
She was sure now that she had gained
her point.
"You have made me very happy," was
all she could say, but he saw the effects
of his words, and later he heard her
singing snatches of songs she had. sung
years ago. He felt that he had no right
to visit his punishment on her. He
would do all in his power. Captain
II— had intended going on the con-
tinent for a little trip, and had asked
him to join him.
"You are certainly in a poor state of
health, Wedderburn. I know it can't
be possible that you are in love at your
most mature and respectable time of
life, so, of course, its failing health. Take
a little turn. with, and come home all
right once more."
Captain He-- laughed at the idea of
Lord Wedderburn being in love! He did
not know that he had, in an unthought-
ed moment, correctly diagnosed. Lord
Wedderburn's ease, but Lord \Vedder-
burn had promised, and he intended to
go.
The next day Lord Wedderburn in-
tended joining Captain II— for their
flying trip to the continent.
It was his last evening at Castle Royal
for a short time. He realized how dear-
ly he loved. the old home. The twilight
deepened and phantom shadows fell
weird and flickering through the golden
brown leaves of the trees.
In the solemn eventide, old Lenthill
lay gaunt and grim. before him, and
Lord Wederburn walked. down the path-
way that led to the ruins. He was bur-
ied in thought. His old life had gone
out from him. It seemed that death
had robbed. him of "half his life. He
could never think of Dorothy alive. She
must be numbered with the dead. In
a short time he had promised his moth-
er to marry and save the beatiful old
home, and be muet do so. He must
bnry alt thought of Ms past aod Doro-
thy so deep in oblivion that he could
cloy Old Time to utearth them -and
Dorothy would beeome a memory for a

Lord Wedderburn walked to the ruins
--he peered through the broken window
of the room where he had first st.ten
Dorothy, There lay the smouldering
aahes on the hearth, and the moonlight
danced fantastieally on the cold, bare
floor, but he heard nothing but the

reach Citetie Royal soon, for he was
beginning to feel faint.
He reached the entrance. when he fell
forward ahnost within the doorway.
His man Marston, hearing foteteps
without, opened the door and beheld the
form of his master lying prone on the
marble floor.
A cry rang out through the great hall
that brought help at once. Lady Home
heard it, and came down at once. Such
Parkins, the houeekeeper, alone re-
mained tool, and calmly ordered the
servants to do her bidding. In a few
moments they had Lord Wedderburn
taken to his apartments where she
bandaged his injured arm tightly and
despatched some one at once for phy-
sicians. Lady Home had fallen insen-
sible beside her son, whom she thought
dead, She had been taken to her rooms
and restaratives applied. Parkins did
not for a moment leave her post beside
the wounded snail. She applied ail her
snnple howe remedies, and restored him
to consciouness.
"Are you hurt save in. the arm?" she
asked.
"No. My arm is hurt, but it ie merely
a, trifle. I must have fainted from the
loss of blood."
"Who could have done you such an
turn, my Lord?"
"I did not see his face. He ran across
my path. The shot was' no doubt meant
for some one else," he said, but Park-
ine saw the bandages were now maturat-
ed with blood and she did not believe it
was a mere trifle. At this moment Lady
Home entered the room. Parkins with-
drew from the room. Lady Home was
almost convulsed with grief.
"My son! my son, who can have done
this evil deed?" she cried.
"It is an aecident, mother, I feel sure.
I could not see the man's face, he ran,
so quickly across zny path, but I feel
sure it was meant for another."
"It is what I have been expeeting my
son. It was instigated by some of those
Weston Homes I am sure. Thank God
the assaiesin was foiled this time!" she
said earnestly.
Lord Wedderburn had so often been
told that he would in some way be in-
jured by the Weston Homes that it
came to him like a revelation; still he
refused to believe it. Re did. not mis-
trust them, as did his mother.
The physicians came and dressed the
wounded arm, and one decided to re-
main at Castle Royal for a short time,
since Lord Wedderburn't wound was
likely to prove more serious than at
first supposed.
Day after aay passed and found the
sufferer violently ill. It seemed. that a
great gloom was about to settle over
castle Royal ,for ite owner lay ill unto
death. The great fear that pursued Lady
Home like a demon all these years had
almost become a reality. Death seemed
waiting at the portal like a hungry ani-
mal 'waiting for its victim, but Lord
Wedderburn did not die. He slowly re-
covered and when spring came it found
him pale and worn with long suffering.
His arm had not grown well, but be
could use it. How thankful all the Cas-
tle household were, when, in tbe early
spring -time, Lord Wedderburn was suf-
ficiently reetored to walk around and
enjoy the brightness and warmth of the
sunny days. The eolor was restored to
his face and the brightness to his eyes,
but there was in them the old sad look
that uncertainty and sorrow had
brought. The time had now grown into
yiriemar.s, and the weary waiting told on
CHAPTER VIII.
The Earl and Countess Dunraven had
not yet returned to England. They lead
spent weeks in eaeh city to enable the
countess to do her shopping, and. the
earl handed out cheques in large num-
bers. He was restless and ill at ease.
He had left his daughter to the care
of friends, and their long stay savored.
of neglect, and she, poor child, was ill.
The earl could not content himself. He
had longed to return at once to England,
but the countess would not for a mo-
ment hear of it. "The child is all right,
love; don't you know we ahould have
heard. if she were not." This answer
always met him at every turn, but it
did not satisfy him. He felt uncom-
fortable when he saw that the countess
only waited to buy beautiful clothing
for herself and daughters. He wished.
her to dress well, and cared little for
the immense BMUS of money she spent,
but his heart ached to be back to Eng-
land and his sick child.
One day the countess had been out
shopping all day, and returned late,
flushed and tired. The earl had remain -
'ed at the hotel -he had sat there
watching the shades of evening creep
over the earth. He had grown sick at
heart, and he could not stand it any
longer, yet he did not like to rebel
against his wife's wishes.
"My dear, why can We not start for
England at once?" he asked.
"I see no reason why we should, You
are morbidly sensitive and imagine all
sorts of things. I am aure your daugh-
ter is quite well or' we should have
heard."
This was the same old story.
"You do not know her. She would
never let any one call me home lest it
would deprive me of an hour's pleasure.
She will suffer in silence."
"I am sure, my dear, yon are very
foolish over the dear child, and do not
understand girls at all. Now, I am
quite sure she would have recalled tts at
once if she were not better." The earl
was not convineed, but felt more re-
assured by these war&
. "When can we return?" he asked.
The earl felt his great age a burden
1 on him. He longed to be home again
!where he might find rest and peace and
quietude. The hotel was One, hum of
voices and one din of noise and confuaion.
People were forever comng and going,
and the earl was so weary of the cease-
less tumult and confusion.
The eountess was delighted; for the
first tinte in her life she could indulge
her taste in buying ;host what she want-
ed, regardlest of price. She liked to
hear herself ealled Ladys, and liked
for people to sey that the Earl and
Countess Dunraveit were guests here.
8he dearly loved the attention $slie ex-
t eited as elle spent money with lavish
! hands.
• "My dear, when ean we start home?"
! asked the earl the seeond time. There
was something plaintive in tho tones of
his voice.
"Tt is simply impossible for a time.
118,VO all our dresses being ma.de, and
so mud' work beixIg done, it ean not
be finithed for a, tune."
"Can, we not have them sent?" aOtecl
the earl,
"Stuff and nonsonee, love. If they
were not right, such mountalus of trou-
Me I would bevel Now, perhaps, it
might be arranged for a week or two.
These people that have leesed Stanley
House will have to be bought off, and
we must notify them to have it ready
for our reception on our return. Now,
you might attend. to this matter, and
I will hurry up the work."
The earl was astonished at this pro-
position, but his heart so sorely ached
to go to his daughter that he resolved,
to buy this chance at any price.
Stanley House had been leased for
yeare to some dear old friends of the
earl, and be felt his heart mite him
sorely when he thought of this proposi-
tion. Still he was going to his daughter
at once, at any cost. wrote to his
agents at once, and to do his bidding he
had alienated some dear old life-long
friends, and spent enormous sums of
money. The money ho did not care for.
His Elise was ill and among strangers
alinoet. She would feel that he had ne-
glected her in her hour of need. Hie
heart ached for the time to come to
start homeward. But not so with the
countess. She was delighted and happy.
In this brief time she had forgotten she
had. not always been the Countese of
Dunraven with her immense wealth. The
eager, said face of the earl she had no-
ticed, but ehe did not care. If he chose
to make a fool of himself, grieving over
tleet poor, miserable, sickly daughter,
there was no call for her to make a fool
of herself aleo, and she would not. She
felt that her pleasure had, in a measure
been curtailed on account of this daugh-
ter ,and she resolved to put a stop to
this at once, or else the earl would ex-
pect her to give up another time. The
very idea of such a thing was absurd!
The Countess Dunraven had gained
her point, and that was something. The
agent had shown the earl's letter to the
lessees of Stanley House, and, after pay-
ing a great price, succeeded in getting
the house. It was a matter of slight
moment to the Countess of Dunraven
that the earl had seriously offended old
friends. It was the countess' wish and
that wish was law. A few days later,
the eountess wrote to her daughter Miss
Irene Mary, and the later part Of the
letter read thus:
"The earl had bought out the leeseeas
of Stanley House and ordered it in
readiness for our return. We hope to
reaeh home Wednesday eve, and. you
might invite Captain and. Mos. Forrestee
and Colonel De Courcy and a. few old
friends to come to dinner on Friday
evening. knaw it will be too soon to
invite company in, but I want to show
those people that I have now gained
my proper position in the world."
The truth is, Colonel De Courcy, of
the guard, was one of the most blase
and dashing one of the whole company.
He had paid attention to the countess
as Mrs. Montague Smith for many
years and she had felt piqued and. in-'
suited that he bad never once mentioned
marriage. So oho was now in a position
to make the reckless colonel see that
she could marry earl instead of a
oolonel on miserably short pay.
The truth was, the countess had never
forgiven or forgotten the eolonel, and
sighed now to see him once more.
The Earl and Countess of Dunraven
arrived at home in time for dinner Wed-
nesday night. Her daughters were there
to receive them, and the fine old man-
sion was brilliant in its light and.
warmth.
The earl had notified his daughter
that they would arrive on Wedneaday
evening and had hoped she would join
them for dinner; but he was sorely dis-
appointed as hour after hour passed and
she did not come. He erooke of his
disappointment to the countess; and she
had suggested his being in no hurry as
there might be some arrangements to be
made for her comfort. The earl under.
stood by thie that his daughter's room
might be as yet not properly prepared
for her.
The next morning he had resolved to
set out for her, but the eountese had
ordered the carriage for hereelf and.
daughters, and had gone out.
The earl waited several hours for their
return, but as the day wore on and it
was growing late he called a cab and
went.
To his utter astonishment his frieud
met him and asked him to be careful not
to betray his feelings if he saw that hie
daughter bad failed since his departure,
When the two entered the room the earl
was wholly unprepared for the vision
that he beheld. There, lying in her
great easy chair, with ghastly pale face
and sunken eyee, sat his Elise. The
earl could not bear his sorrow, but he
fell at her knees and clasped the thin
frail form in his arms, His heart ached
that he had so neglected her. She threw
her arms about his neck and. sobbed. It
was a sad meeting.
"I have come zo take you home," he
eald gently, but he feared that she was
not able to go. "The countess intended
coming with me. but eould not wait
for her lest it be too late," he said by
way of explanation, but his excuse
seemed lame and poor. His friend.
noticed it at onee. The sick girl was
wrapped up and tenderly carried in her
father's arms and seated in the cab --
and in a short time they were at home.
The countess and, her daughters had
not returned yet.
The earl summoned the servant, and
ordered the front suite prepared for hie
daughter. The servant at onee replied:
"My lady's daughter, Mies Smith, oc-
cupies the blue suite of rooms."
"Then the other front suite?" saki the
earl.
I"They are occupied by Mii9E3 Vrancea
Smith," promptly responded the home -
keeper.
"There are the sunny, southern
rooms?" asked the earl.
'Those are my lady's ind.vate sitting -
rooms, boudoir, etc."
A frail little body supported itself to
his side, catching at the walls for sup -
Port.
"Father, any of them will do for ine,"
the voice said in tender tome.
There was no anger in the voice. It
wae all that was kind and tender. The
earl did not reply as the housekeeper
said:
"My lady 6aitl to prepare the two
rooms at the back, and 1 did so."
Hopeless was the expression of the
earl's fake, and he seemed brokmaheart-
ed as he supported has ehild again to
her seat.
He sat bud& her and leant hie head
on hie halide to think. He eould. not
think that the countess had done this
thing. wittingly. it must have been an
oversight, and a cruel one it eeerned.
The sick girl hail in a moment realized.
the sittuttion. She could not bear to see
her fether grieved, henee asked to be
taken to her rooms, and they cerried her
up to the email back room, with its
plain furniture and surrotindings.
The earl was almoet erashed with
grief. He could not apeak, but *stood
by the bedside.
- "loather, if I only had Dorothy T might
be so happy, but leto had no one to
hunt her for me) NW she has left me no

ILLUSTRATION FARMS.
Those who have followed the work of
Dr, Jaince 'W. Robertson on behalf of
Agriculture are aware of. his confidence
in the value of illustration or demon-
stration hhe teacbing of better meth-
ods of fanning. During his recent tours
of European countries Dr, Robertson
hare become further convinced of the
good influence upon the commonity of
well managed farms, The Committee
on fehnds of the Commission of Con-
servation, of wrhich Dr, Robertson is
Fhairman, has introduced a system of
illustration farms throughout Canada
with a view to demonstrating locally,
the great advantages of a proper sys-
tem,
r.1,111 tvork was undertaken because
the agricultural survey conducted by
the Commission for the past two years
on one hundred average farms in each
of the Provincee, showed unmistakably
that the farmers were not getting from
their land all that they should. The
illustration farms. eituated in every
Province of Canada, are not the pro-
perty of the Commission. The plan is
to select an average farm in a given lo-
cality whose owner agreee to be guided
by the advice of the agricultural ex-
ports provided by the Commission, and
make it an illustratiou centre for the
Ineighbothood where /A e eutsr ounding
farmers ean meet and receive practical
instruetion. In this way it is hoped that
the farmers can be led to see that they
can produce large crops with the means
within their grasp.
During the past session of Parliament
Mr, Robertson laid this matter before
the Select Standing Committee on Ag•
riculture and Colorrization of the House
of Commone. In his address he pointed
out that arrangements are being made
whereby the illustration farms will re-
ceive visite two or three times a year
from two of the best experts on farming

Electrically -Produced "Cold."
The ordinary method of freezing ire-
eream by ice and salt is a striking ex-
ample of eeonomie \mete. eays the Scien-
tific Amerimin. Every one hundred gal-
lons of ice eream require it tun and a
half of ice and. 800 pounds of salt, and
the salt is not recovered and the ice
melts very rapidly. Electricity is now
conserving these nutteriele by producing
artificial refrigeration and applying it to
the Marna facture of iee cream. Electric
motor drive is used to turn the freezers.
Statistics show that in five years from
NM to 1910 the vonsumption Of ice
cream in the United States advanced
from 55,000,t00 gallone to 100.000.000 gal-
lons. Last yeae about 120,000,000 O•al-

ONE OF LIPTON'S TEA TALES.
Sir Thoxnae Lipton, having made his
fortune out of tea, tells some good
stories about the beverage. One of them,
illustrating the "canniness" of tne
Scotch, Kays the Popular Magazine, is
asaiAfonlloordet:
farmer of numriesshire was
the guest of a fine lady in that country,
When the afternoon tea was served the
hosteas observed that the old man gulped
down his before she could. serve the other
-guests. Again and &giant the farmer
passed his cup to be refilled. At the
ninth cup the lady, becoming uneasy as
to the supply on hand, ventured to ask:
"How many cups of tea do you take,
John?"

BLACK LIST OF WOMEN.
"Women. now provide a dispropot-
tionate large part of the habitual drunk-
ards," says the head constable of Liver-
pool, England. Thus, during 1010, in the
eines of three or more convictions within
tevelvo months there were 133 men and
184 WOMell, and. in the class of six
to sixty convietions (all told) there
were 733 men and 774 women. For two
years the "black list" in Liverpool has
consisted solely of women. --From Tem-

BRIGHT, RUDDi-CHEEKS
FOR PALE GIRLS
NO LONGER ANY NEED TO BE
PALE, WEAK OR ANAEMIC.
By Following the Advice of Miss Mc-
Ewen You Can Quickly Become
Strong Again.
The pallid girl always lattice appetite.
What little she eata is badly digested.
At night ehe is restless, she dozes,
but doesn't sleep eoundly.
Vital force must be increased, new
blood must be supplied and a general
rebuilding take place before she will feel
like she ought.
Dr. Hamilton has invaluable exper-
ience in these eases and found nothing
so prompt in building up young women
as his vegetable pills. of Mandrake and
Butternut.
Dr. Hamilton's Pills begin by cleans-
ing the syetem and purifying the blood;
they also improve digestion and render
food ready for absorption. Additional
nourishment is quickly supplied and the
patient is fa8t strengthened and invig-
orated,
Full of spirit, ruddy and strong is the
girl that assists her system by the use
of Dr. Hamilton's Pills.
The following recent letter from Mies
Etta MeEsveu, of Haliburton, speaks for
itself:
"In using Dr. Hamilton's Pills I find
my system is wonderfully built up. It
is certainly the isiost effective remedy
I ever used. I have now a good ap-
petite, Bleep more soundly and awaken
in the morning feeling quite refreehed.
"Formerly I felt tired and depressed.
I looked as if a severe illness were
hanging' over my head.
"Nothing could give quicker results
than Dr. Hamilton'e Pills, and I strong-
ly advise every young woman to use
them."

OUTTERMAKING,
It is a recognized fact thet tin) price
rceeived for butter is very largely in-
fluenccd by its quality, and this is in
great measure dotermined by the care
given the cream, from which it is made.
Tide matter in recognized by the De-
partment of Agrieult Ure at Malaya as
being of vital importance to the eream-
ery petrone. and buttermakere of Can- -
atilt; consequently there lies been pre-
pared by the ehief of the dairy division
under the direction of the dairy cam-
mieeioner. bulletia on "The Care of
Cream for Buttermaking." it eommencee
with the health and feeding of the cows,
and follows the subject through the vari-
ous etages of milking, eeparating, 'stor-
ing and delivering the cream, mesh sec-
tion being dealt with from the stand-
point of the men on the job rather shan
of the official in Tin office. The results
of experimente condueted on fa.rms alld
in creameries are given to shop the ad-
vantagess of ;separating a. rich ermine
properly cooling and storing it, as well
as of making frequent deliveries. The
bulletin says: "Keeping the cream for
longer than two days at the farms luta,
no doubt, inuell to do with the old cream
flavor eo common in gathered cream

have this, defeat remedied eo long (us

RUBBER MADE OF FISH.
A factory to produce artificial rubber
has been eetabliehed in Ymulden, the
eort at the mouth of the North Sea
1
eanal. It is said that the company in-
stituting this factory lute succeeded in
produeing a substanee heving the quail -
tied of rubber and aleo certain special
advantages over genuine rubber. The
proeets is a seeret, -bet the prineipal in-
gredient of the product is said to be
fresh sea fled', whieh are brought to
Ynntiden in vaet quantitiee by the Duteh
fishing fleets. Aecording to report 15 to
16 per cent, of natural rubber is added
to the fish, and the result is an sub-
stanee as flexible and elastic as rubber,
but much cheapea---about as 1.23 to 8 in
priee, compared with real rubber.
The low price of this product will
caused partly by the by-produets which
are possible, for it is said that muelt
albmnin will 'be made from the fish
and that half of the factory is arranged
for the manufactnre of guano. It is
stated that thie artifieial rubber Oen be
vulcanized in a short time; that it is
benzine -proof and can ieeist the effeet of
heat. At first sight the eubstanee much
resembles real rubber. A (slightly fishy
smell betrays the (-thief ingredient, but it
is explained that tide will be prevented.
