I wish the young viscount were here," he a.dded. . gravely. "Can he not be fotutd?" asked Norah, She had heard a great deal of this nephew of the earl, this young man who would be the next earl—perhaps so soot:!—and master of Santleigh Court. "It seems so strange his keepiug in hieing ell this time. Surely he must see the ao- count of papa's illnees ' in the pap - "Yes, he would if he were in Eng- land," said Mr. Pettit:Reek, thought- fully. "But I'm afraid he is not. You see, he is a most extraordiner- fly erratie young. man, and unless he chooses to come forward and declare himself, I'm afraid we shall not and hilll." At this moment Guildford Berton en- tered the room. "You are speaking of the viscount?" he said„h a low voice. "Every effort is being made to find him, Mr. nether - Ida" "Have you advertised in the news- papers?" "Well. no. Not yet. I scarcely—you see, the earl may recover -1 mean suffi- ciently to be conscious of what is going on, and I fancy—Indeed, I am sure— that he would be extremely angry if we Look that step." Mr. Petherick shook his head. ?Besides," said Berton, "1 am certain Lord Santleigh Is not M England, and unless we know to what part of the world he has betaken himself, we can ecarcely advertise." Mr. Petherick was still afraid of the earl, and he shrank from taking the responsibiltly of advertising such a pub- lic hue and cry. "Perhaps we had better wait a little longer. That is an extremely sensible young man," he remarked to Norah as Berton left the room. "1 don't think I ever met a clearer head for business, and he appears to have beerrvery kind and— atten five." "Oh, yes," assented Norah, trying to eut some warmth of gratitude Into her tone, and failing. "Mr. Berton is the elose,st friend papa has, a.nd has done everything since he has been 111." "Very kind, very kind, Indeed," mur- mured Mr. Petherick. Ele went up and touched the thin white hand lying on the coverhd by way of farewell, and the earl looked at him, anddfrom him to Norah. "I—er—ahnost think his lordship is trying to speak to me. I feel certain he knows me. Do you wish to give me any instructions, my lord ?" he asked, anx- iously; but the earl stared at him vacant- ly as before, and Mr. Petherick, who remembered las client, a stahvart young man, coughed, and blew his nose, as is the fashion with men when they are nearly moved to tears. Standing there, looking at the wreck before him, he for- got the many slights and Snubs he had endured at the hands of "the superfine earl," and recalled only the best side of his nature. "A most just and upright man, the earl, your father, my dear," he said, with a suspicious falter in his pipy voice. "IL distresses me more than I can say to see him in this condition." And he went his way, as sadly re- • gretful as if the earl had been the • sweetest -tempered of men and the mild - Iest of clients. When a fortnight had passed Norah noticed a certain vague re,stlessness in the earl's glance. "It is something he wants," she said to the doctor, with tears el her eyes. "And I cannot think what it is, tholigh I try for hours at a time. Do you think he wants to get back to the Court ?" "It is possible," replied Sir Andrew. "At any rate, the change may do him no harm; indeed, it may benefit him. Try, it, Lady Norah—that is, if you wish to." Now, Norah did not wish to get back very much, though she could scarcely have told why- it certainly would seem as if it could matter very little to her whether she sat in a chair beside his bed in Park Lane or Santleigh Court; she would not acknowledge to herself the true reason—that at Santleigh Court she would not have to live in the same house mile Mr. Guildford Berton. •lie had been very kind, as devoted te the earl and herserf as a rnan coelcl be, and yet---! She knew that he never entered the room but that a chill swept over her, that she Could scarcely meet the glance of his dark, sombre eyes with- out showing the repugnance which his presence awoke in her. Lady Ferndale was strongly in favor of the removal to the Court. "London is the worst place in the world to be ill in, dear," she said; "and len thinking of yourself, too. You will be able to get out into the garden, and on the terrace. Oh, yes, let us take him back. Poor, poor Old mant I used to laugh at his proud, haughty, F.:ing George airs; I wish he's let Inc. laugh at him now I" And her eyes filled •with tearS; not, so much for the earl as for her dear girt, as She called Norah, - Mr. Guildford Berton, as Usual took charge of all the arrangements; got the invalid carriage, ordered the special train, bad nother invalid earriage in readinees at Santleigh station, and he. bayed, es Lady Ferndale said, as if he were the earl's son. "Really, dear," eh(' eaid. to Nortile "Guildford Berton has behaved Wonder' fully, and he fins me with shame and fernorse. Not one man in a thousand Would have done it In a better mariner.

Paralysis does not always destroy Met it is sometimes satisteed with kill' s tho b depriving its victim of the use of his limbs and rendering him helples.s and expres- sionless as a ehild. The earl had lived a life of ex- treme quietude and care for some! years past, and it came to his assis- tance a.nd kept death at bay; but he was speechlees end almost helpless, Gradually a slight improvement set In; they were able to prop him ep with pillosve, and it seemed to orah that, thougb be could not speak, he understood what she said to him.. She noticed, with the imprevement In his strength, a certain change tn his manner --if indeed, anything so in - 'expressive could be called manner— toward her. She found that his dim eyes brightened slightly wheu she spoke to him, and often in the night watches, when she thought him asleep, she would find his eyes set on her fixedly, as if he were tryiug to rentembee or say something. She would have loved her father with all a daughter's love from the first moment of her home-cominee in- deed, she had loved him thoug% he had done his best to freeze all „ten- derness within her; but now that ho was thrown upon her care the treas- ures of love and tenderness in her heart welled out toward him, and she loved him as only a woman ems love the being who is dependent upon her. The nurse and 'doctor, who had looked upon her as just a fashionable and perhaps spoiled beauty, were inwardly astonished at her devotion, and the doctor declared that it was not he,, but Lady Borah, who kept life going in tbe feeble, stricken frame. Guildford Berton remaine.d in the house., and, as of old, transacted all business for the earl. 'every now and then ho paili a visit to the sickroom, and stood beside the lied murmuring words of condor te the old man; and at such times the earl fixed his eyes upon him with a strange look whicl: Borah could not interpret; but he miter attempt- ed ta speak, and showed neither plea- sure nor impatience at "his youcte friend's" visits. Mr. Petherick had been sent for slirectly the improvement set he and feed to awaken a gleam. of intelli- el'ence in the old man, but failed. The earl looked at him with the same vacant, fixed stare, but disple.yed no eoectenition. '`Thieeis very sad for you, ray elearee saki the old lawyer to Norah, his eyes blinking behind his glasses, as he looked at the lovely face so Pala and patient, and recalled the young girl who came so brightly in- to the sitting -room of the Devonshire cottage.

As she stood, leaning on the stone rail, and looking sadly and wistfully across the velvety lawns to the woods over which the autumn mist was gathering in a thin, veil-like cloud, GuildfOrd Bee - ton came out and stood beside her. "1 have come to say good -night," tie sa4diou—you aro going hotne?" said Norah. "Will you not remain the night?" she ended as cordially as she could. "Thank you, no. I don't think I shall be needed; indeed, y,pu will not allow me to help you. But If 1 should be, you will send a message to the cottage, will you not?" "Yes, 1 will," responded Norah, •anti her tone was more genial than usual, for she could not help remembering all he had done for the earl and herself'. "1 should like to try and thank you, Mr, Berton." "Please do not. I have done so little." "YOU have done a great deal --every- thing," put in Norah. So little compared with what I should have liked to have done 1" "When my father is well he will be able to thank you better than 1 can, said Norah. " He cannot thank me half so well, even if 1 deserved or desired thanks. One word from you, Lady Norah, out- weighs a world of gratitude, and would repay me for the sacrince of my life." Norah flushed. "1-1 must go back now," he said. "I' should like to say good -night lo the earl," ho said. The earl was sitting up, looking none the worse for his journey, which had been rendered as easy as gold—the great smoother of all things—could make .t. He glanced from Guildford Berton to Norah and back again, and his Ups twitched. "[-le seems no worse," he said. "In- deed, I think the change has improved hirn." "You are better, papa?" The old man looked at her for a mo- ment, then at the pale, sombre face be- side her, and his lips twitched again. "Do you think—sometimes 1 cannot help thinking—that there is something on his mind? Something that he wishes to tell me of you? He looks from one Le the other of us so strangely." Guildford Berton was silent for a Ina- ment. An idea startling in its audacity, flashed into his mind. "Can you guess what it is ?" Norah asked anxiously, forgetting in her eager- ness that it was Guildford Berton she was addressing. Still he remained silent, and Norah, struck by his silence, looked at him. "You have some idea. Please tell me what it is It may be something that, ne wants me to do for him. What Is it?" "Yes, I have an idea," he said. "But" —he paused—" I do not think I can tell yon to -night." "Why not?" asked Norah. "Not to -night,' he said; "to -morrow, perhaps. No, Lady Norah, 1—well, I haye not the courage." "Not the courage 1" repeated ,Norah. "No," he said. `If I told you my in- terpretation you would be angry; and I cannot afford that you should be angry with me." "I do not understand. Why gfioulcl 1 be angry, Mr. Berton" "Will you give me your promise that what I may say to you shall not make you angry with me?" he asked, in a low voice. • "I do not think you would say any- thing that would make me angry, Mr. Berton," she said, quietly. "Then I will tell you. I have your promise, remember, Lady Norah 1 You ask me if I can interpret tee expression which the earl's face wears when he looks from you to me. The answer bears reference—close reference to you." "To me?" said Norah, mechanically. "Yes,/' he said, looking at her from under his eyes. "Will you carry your mind back to the night of the earl's seizure?" ' Noma inclined her head slightly. •"You will remember that I came In late, and went to the earl in the library. I went to consult him about some best- ness matter, but,. I found him strangely averse to discussing it. He seemed to have something on his mind. I have no doubt that the presentiment of his dom- ing illness was upon him, and it was only natural that he should be dwelling upon the subject nearest his heart--your- self." orah's hand went forth, and found the earl's and held it. " He spoke of you, Lady Norah, of the joy and comfort your presence brought him, and then"—he paused and hesi- tatedbut if, was too late to draw back,' and with a covert glance at her he went on, smoothly, sof tly—"and then he spoke of myself." He waited to see if she would speak, but Norah remained silent. "The earl and I have been such close friends for so long, Lady Norah, and he was so quick to notice any change in the demeanor of those abotit him, that it was not surprising he should remark an alteration in my manner, though 1 , have tried to hide it from him, from all. That night lie asked me what it was that weighed upon my mind. 1 tried to evade the qu.ostion, but ho had discovered the truth, and he frankly charged me with it. Can you not guess its nature, Lady Norah?" ' Norah shook her head. ' " Ho had been watching Me it seems, axle had caught a glimpse of 'iny heart, though I thought that I had secceeded in hiding it.

' It was 1 who shrank with unfeigned humility from confessing my love; it was he, the noble father, who, consenting to forget the difference in our rank, bade me hope." Norales ga^ grew more full of horror, "Even more than that," he wera on after a pause; "he was good -enough to tell me, with all the frankness of a father, that he had seen my love for you, and that he would not only give his con- sent to my suit, but his couraerianee and generous approval ! Lady Norah, it is with the sanction of your father, with the knowledge that I have his best wishes, that I kneel at your feet and avow my love 1" and he dropped on one knee and held out his hand to her al- most in the attitude of worship. "1-1 have surprised you, alarmed you 1 I should have prepared you, and yet—ah, .Lady North, surely you 'can- not have been blind to the love I bear you. During all these menthe you naist have seen trow completely and entirely I have been your slave. There is no hour in which I have apt thought of eau; no moment in which I have not striven to end some way of proving my- self less unworthy of you. Yes, thougb I have tried to gush the love out of my heart, and have told myself that there could be no hope, no gleam of hope for me, I could not succeed. Such love as 1 bear for you cannot be crushed; it is the life of a man's life; it abides with hen unto death. I could no more belp loving you than I could help breathing. Think, then, with what joy I heard that noble - hearted man tell me that I might plead with you, might lay my love and my life at your feet, and, if 1 could, win you for my wife! Lady Norah, it is not only I who speak and implore you to say 'Yes,' but the father who loves you and whom you love." Norah woke from the nightmaee thai eeerned to hold her in its grip, and her eyes flashed. "It—it is false 1" broke from her lips. "You doubt me You .disbelieve r he murmured, sorrowfully. , "You say that—that my fdther sanc- tioned, consented—" "More than sanctioned," he said, soft- ly, pleadingly. "Must I tell you all? You force me. Lady Norah, it has long been els wish that you should be my wife!" Heaven, aboveknows whether the stricken man, whose presence Guildford Berton had disregarded as completely as if he had been already dead, heard and understood; but at that moment a sound like a faint moan broke from his shrivelled lips, and, as Norah sprang up and turned to him with a cry, a shudder ranethrough Guildford Berton and his face blanched. But in a moment he had shaken off the dread which had seized upon him. "You see, you hear 1 Ali, if he could speak—and would to Heaven he could! —he *mild bear me witneee." It was a fiendish stroke, and its very audacity made it successful. Norah looked into the earl's face, working with a piteous effort to regain the Power of speech, and she accepted Guildford Berton's interpretation. With anew cry of despair and horror she flung herself down, and hid her face •upon the old man's hands, for he looked across her at Berton, his face still werMn,g,. Out with ve,cant, expres- sionless eyes. "Norah, for tleaven's sake, for his sake do not—do not treat me like this 1 What have I done—what am 1—that you should shrink from me?" He stopped sudclethly and started, for a voice, audi- ble to his own ears only, seemed to whis- per in ghastly tones, "Mutterer I" "Norah speak to rae. Tell nme that you forgive me, at least. Is it such an unpardonable crime to have loved you? Alm, how could I help it? I who lived in the sunshine of your presence----" "Go—go 1" dropped from her lips.

HIGHEST AWARD, ST, LOUIS, 1904. 4- ++++++++4+44+++++4++++ LAMBS OR WETHEBS FOB FAT- TENING, Men who have spent long years in fattening sheep are net agreed as to whether the fattening of sheep oe lambs NViil prove the more profitable. Thie difierence of view arises from the die [event results obtained from feeding under different conditions. The infle- ences that ,affect the outcome should be well understood by those who engage in the work. Some of the more iind prrtant of those influences will now 1..)e discussed, ,writes Prof. Thomas Shaw. Quality as used here has reference to the capacity of the sheep to maim good gains. It will be influenced t,y breed. Some breeds will make more steins in proportion to the food titan others. The lower the quality of the animals purchased, therefore, tha more costly will it be to purchase we tilers, since they will cost Moro rela. lid en' to feed in proportion to the weight purchased. There is less risk tecrefore, ' in purchasing low grade I‘a,ntlest.han in purchasing low grade ‘ers The coriciltion of the animals at the tune of purchase is important if pur- chased by weight. It is more profitable relatively to purchase a lean lame than to purchase a lean wether for feeding, other things being equal. rba. lamb will make flesh more readily on' a given amount of food. This, how- eer, presuposes that neither the lame ror the wether has been checked m possible future development, because ,if its leen eenclition. it is usually more profitable to purchase both we - timers arid lambs by weight, when both me to. be fed, as the chance is then present for making greater gains than would be possible if. both were pur- chased when in a high condition of flesh. Wethers not only take more food to maintain them than Iambs, but they use more food in making a pound ef gain. This is owing to that law of ani- mal nutrition which -calls for more food relatively in proportion to tdie 'gam made the older the anirnel is. This has been proved by numerous experi- ments, including one conducted, by the writer at the Minnesota station. The dtflerence is conceivable and alwaysin favor of the lamps. But under some conditions it may be possible to Net coarser and cheaper food to wethers, and this will exercise some influence in tlie comparison in some instances. lt is plain, therefore, that, viewed froin Lee standpoint of possible gains from feeding, Iambs are a safer venture thrum wethers. It follows that the younger the lambs are, providing they can reanm tee requisite weights When markets, 1, the more profitable relatively will the feeding be. INFLUENCE OF MARGIN IN PRICES. As everyone one knows, the margin on the selling price over the buyeg price exercises ae far-reaching influence on preilts. Now suppose a eether is bcught at a certain rate which •'weiges 8e pound; and e Iamb is bought at a cm Win* rate that Weighs 50 pounds. The two animals are fed and sold at a price which is I centper pound above tre ,,priee paid. flow suppose the two animals had consumed the same amount ot food and made the Rune increase in weight then the fattening of the welter would have been attended with the greater profit. The weight of the wether was 80 pounds and the lamb 50 pounds, consequently the original weight of the wallet. Increased 80 cents during the period of feeding and that of the lamb 50 cents. The influence of the weight nt the animals at the thno cif purehase on- profits is thus shown, and this fact alone- has made the feeding of wethe's more profitable than the feeding of Imnalartbkmetb than wether meat, and usually meat sells more readily in the at a price considerably higher. Be- cause of this the margin bettveerl the buying " price and selling price c f lainbe is considerably more 10 'he ease of lambs than of wethers. When it is, the profits are ,greater from feed- ing lambs. But reeently lambs com- mand a better price. when bought, rind this change may go on until a point is reached when the feeding of wethers may become more profitable generally. It does happen sometimes that more profit comes from feeding old ewes. In such instances; however, the ewes have been 'purchased Very cheaply. A very great change has been made during recent years in the number of wethers and lambs relatively that have been fed. The fattening of lambs has Moportionately increased, and there 1m8 beendecrease in the fattening of wetbers.

The business of a hen is—to lay eggs. As a hatcher and brooder she is out- classed. That's the business of the Chatham Incubator and Brooder, and they do it perfectly and successfully. The poultry business, properly con- ducted, pays far better than any other business for the amount of time and money invested.
