rangement. It would spare her from
.what was a great secret pain ---the con-
tinual presence of Sir Jaffrey—and she
xxfiekoned that by the time of their ro

"We 1, I don't understand it, but I'll

She went without waiting to take off
ler hat, thinking there was some mis-
'ike or that the visitor was on some
'begging expedition.
"You wish to see me?" she asked
when the man rose and bowed with the

common enough, and any one could
easily hear it and then forget it again.
Is it not so?"
"I have never heard it," repeated
Beryl, irritated because he dwelt on the
point. "But what is the business you
have come on?"
"Precisely. That is the point. Just
so. What is the business? Well, I have
not come to talk about myself or about
my name. That has nothing whatever
to do with it, nothing whatever." Theo
he added, with another of the smiles
which the girl found so unpleasant:
"That I mentioned it so pointedly at
all is only my vanity. It would have
been with deep, deep pleasure if I had
found that the reputation not of myself,
but of my violin—I am a musician --
had reached to .Leyoester Court, but I
could not expect it, and 1 am rightly
served. To be frank, it is a question I
put everywhere, everywhere I go, bo -
cause my fame is lay life."
Beryl saw that for some reason he
was misleading her and doing it clum-
sily apd laboriously.
"Will you tell mo, please, what it is
you wants" she said sharply.
"you English are so practical, so
pointed, so blunt. Yes, 1 will tell ycu.
I am meditating a work that I believe
will have a prodigious effect on the
musical world. It is a treatise on my
instrument, the violin. I am advocating
nothing less than the addition of a fifth
string to my beloved instrument. That
is a daring thing to do, Miss Leyoester,
is it not?"
"What clo ycu want with me?" she
asked impatiently.
"I arc, troubling you, I see. I am
sorry," he said, lifting his white, thin
hands and shrugging his shoulders;
while out of his blue eyes she caught a
sharp, swift glance that almost startled
her with its keenness and told her he
was acting and wanted to read the ef-
fect upon her. Sho tried to look as stu-
pid and impassive as possible.
"I really don't caro whether the vio-
lin has 4 cr 5 or 50 strings," she an-
swered as if crossly, but really inter-
ested now.
"That seems to me inconceivable, ab-
solutely impossible. If I had a fifth
string"—he began to speak with rapid
energy, as though the subject carried
him away—"I could produce effects by
the side of which the mightiest effort of
the grandest master would be but as
the scraping of a learner. I could—but
what am I doing? I am an enthusiast;
you are uninterested. I apologize. Pray
forgive mo."
Beryl bowed very slightly and looked
wearied and impatient.
"I did not want to talk of my work
or my project either," he said, resum-
ing. "It is only indidental, though I
am so full of 'it that, like a hen that
would lay an egg, I must cackle of it.
But, alas, ,right in the middle of a path
stands a dlifnculty. I am rich in nay art,
wealthy in my love of my iustrument,
but :poor in my pocket. To storm the
world with a musical treatise for a
weajion is impossible to the man with-
out means. 1 am seeking the menus."
"Yes.' What is the cost of adding si
fifth'string to a fiddle?" asked Beryl stu-
pidirq', "I thought they were cheap." ,
sho v ro r a ig—Bing Tate imi�, butt theeccolldd,,
impassive, uninterested expression of
her face reassured him.
"It is not the cost of the string I am
seeking," he said, "but the agents who
will take from me the inspiration and
help me to proclaim my idea to the'
world."
"I am afraid"— began Beryl, but he
stopped her with a wave of the hand.
"You cannot help me, you would .say,
but you can, I think and I hope—not
yourself, not yourself. Please listen. I

"Excuse me if I say this is nothing

paused, "It is a subject I can take ne

Lola Crawshay,"
"This was what ho wanted," thought
Beryl, with rapid intuition, "and he
has wandered through the maze of his
silly story to get at this,"
elhe did not even let her visitor see
that she was surprised.
"1 have a wend of that name," sho
said, as with caution. "What then?"
There was no mistaking the gleam of
quick, interested delight which passed
over the foreigner's face et this, though
lie Hastened to hide it under the mask
of overdone gestures.
"Thal is good news for my violin!"
he cxclaimecl.
"But it can't be the same," said
Beryl, with her former air of stolid stu-
pidity. "She doesn't play tho fiddle at
all."
"No, no; that is right. Her instru-
ment is tho piano, but her soul is the
soul of the heaven made musioian. She
lives somewhere here?" he said, with a
gesture of interrogation, in which hands
and arms and shoulders and eyebrows
all went up together.
"She is the wife of Sir Jaffray Wal-
cote and is now in America with her
husband," answered Beryl in a com-
monplace, level tone, without a trace of
animation in her face.
But she watched with astonishment
the effect of the words.
Tho reran started back in his cbair,
all the light air which lie had assumed
dying instantly away, while in place of
the mask which he bad been wearing
astonishment, disbelief, triumph and
white rage played over his face and
gleamed iu the eyes which stared fixed-
ly at her. For the instant the man's
true character showed itself unmistaka-
bly to the calm eyes which looked at
him from the expressionless, wearied,
disinterested face. -
Tho moment afterward he was again
the actor, cursing himself for having
lest his self control and speculating an-
grily whether this dull, stupid, conceit-.
ed English girl had noticed anything.
So quickly did his expression change
that there seemed to be scarcely a pause
before he answered, though in a voice
which vibrated with the shock of 'the
surprise:
"I should think you may be right,
and that this is not the same ,,Miss
erawshay. It could not bo, of course.
Tho enthusiast that I knew was living
abroad with her father, not thinking of
marrying one of your English noble-
men.
""Then it must be the same," said
Beryl in the same level tone in which
she had struck her first blow. "Lady
Walcote came from the continent only
about two years ago."
But he was not to be caught off his
guard twice.
"Well, if so I am more than for-
tunate. It is great news, grand news.
If I can start my mission with the wife
of a nobleman at tiro head of it in Eng-
land,
ntland, my cause is already more than
half won." -
"Her husband"is a great lover of
music," said Beryl, and sho saw that
some change in the tone of her voice
made hien flash ono of those keen
glances of his right into her eyes. Sho
parried it by assuming a look of lan-
guor. "Have you anything more to
ask?" And she rose.
Her visi+or rose at the same time.
"I thank you very much for the
courtesy and kindness with which you
have received me and for the time you
have given me." And he bowed with the
exaggerated politeness which had irri-
tated Beryl.
"Montreux, I think you said?"'she
asked as he reached the door and his
hand was on the handle.
Ho turned quickly at the question,
which he seemed in some way to resent.
"Montreux is my birthplace, Miss
Leyoester. I am Pierre Turrian of
Montreux, the violin player. That is all
of my connection with Moutreux. My
teaching has been elsewhere."
"Oh, I thought you meant you had
had Lally Walcoto as a pupil there,"
else replied, as though the point were
unimportant.
cola, no, no, not at all; not there! It
was in Paris, Queen Paris, that I had
the pleasure. Oh, no, eel That would
be ridiculous. Paris is where I have
made nay fame, etch fame as 1 possees,
not Montreux. That is not of tho world
at all,"
Ho laughed as he said this With tho
air of ono who would laugh out of ex-
istence the cobwebs of an absurdity,
and the echo of his laugh had not died
away when the door closed behind him.
Beryl went to another room, the win-
dow of which commanded a view of the
drive, and, herself unseen, watched him
as ho walked away slowly like one ha
thought. Once or twice he turned
stealthily andslyly to look back tit the
house, and the .girl imagined that even
when he was a long way from the house
sho could see on his face the sharp, for-
bidding, evil, menacing look which had
more than once distortedhis handsome,
cruel features.

every word that fine could remember of
the interview and added her comments
and the impressions which bad been
caused, and she locked the whole away
in her roost secret and secure hiding
place.
Tho points which stood out most
clearly in her mind were that the for-
eigner, Pierre Turrian, had some very
strong motive for finding Lola; that the
tale he told about his musical mission

Dairy Notes,
Watch the cow which gradually
declines in yield while her matesr
under the same management, do not.
Pedigree counts for nothing when a.
cow will net respond to good feed:
with a fair yield of milk.
In butter making everything is
being sifted down to a business pro.
position. Dairymen make more
money now than in the days whea
butter was higher because of more
scientific methods, more creameries,
more summer crops raised and bet-
ter cows kept.
Failure will be certain to the
dairyman who has not the gift of
punctuality, and he would better
quit. No employment requires more
method. Every part of the work
must be performed every day, and
almost the same hour in the day.
Any variation is actual loss,
If all the buttermilk has not been•
washed out of the butter, it is cer-
tain that the attempt 10 work i; out
will result in breaking the grain of
the butter ; and if one does not un-
derstand the grantslar system of
churning it will pay him to look into
the matter at once.
IIe runs a dairy with most profit
who gives most attention to leaking
the farm produce large crops 'of
grain and grass to be fed to the
cows ; there is not so much profit
when feed is bought outside. The
business of the dairyman does not
begin and end with the care of the
cows, but reaches into every detail
of farm management.
It has been again and again demon-
strated that the less the butter is
worked the better. If the granular
system of a:tinting is practised, incl.
ample time given for the water to
drain out, no working will be needed,;
or only enough to bring the butter
to a solid condition. If the butter -
has all beefs w sited ant them
left, t t
be none kf to r ork out.
