Guildford Berton staggered slightly, then with • his eyes still fixed on Cyril and North; who were leaning over the terrace in vain trying to sheltie the hands eagerly thrust up to thein, he backed away, slowly fora time; then, as he got into the densest part of the crowd, he turned and torted his way through the people with a desperate haste, even striking at them in a fren- zied, furious fashion. Some shrank back, other's struck at him fn return and swore at him, but with his head bent down he glade a lane for himself, and reached the edge of the crowd. With the uncertain staggering steps of a drunken man he went down the ane and entered the cottage. He had left no light in the room; the fire had died out; all was dark. Before he struck a match he felt his way to the sideboard, Found a brandy decanter, and, with trembling elands, poured out a glassful and drank it. Then, with a cry, as if the spirits had given him power to realize the truth, he flung his bands above his bead and cursed Cyril, and even Norab herself. As he was raving, in the very midst of the awful stream of profanity, he stopped short suddenly and listened. What he heard was only the distant sound of the crowd, but to his ears it took to itself the likeness of a wail, a cry from a woman, and, with a shudder, he cowered against the sideboard, and. looked over his shoulder with an ex- pression of sickening fear and dread on his white face, for once again he seemed to lees that vague, indefinable shade which bore the faint outlines of elle murdered woman, and which had haunted him now and again whenever he was over -tried or excited. For s. moment --that might have been a year— he steed cowering, bent almost double; then the expression of his face changed to one of sinister cunning, and, still looking behind him and moving his Lips, though no words came, he stole on tip- toe toward the cupboard. * * Three hours later Cyril and Jack stood together in the drawing -room. Lady and Norah had gone upstairs, presum- ably to bed, but really to sit and tail. of the wonderful events of the day, and Lord Ferndale, declaring that he must bave a quiet cigar after all the excite- ment, had taken Mr. Petheriek to the smoking -room. The two friends stood looking at each other for a moment, then. Cyril held out his hand. "I wish I could .tell you how I feel to- night, Jack," he said; "how happy I am, how grateful to you all, to you and the Ferndates, and all these good people, with their simple, warm-hearted welcome. Please God, I will be worthy of their love, and keep it! But my darl- ing won't find it difficult to do that, will she? Jack, I ask myself as I stand here thinking of the great good luck which has fallen to me, why 1, of all men, should have been so fortunate and so blessed, and—and, Jack, it almost frightens mal I can only say, from the bottom of my heart, that I ani grateful— wery, very grateful!—and, thank God, can add that 1 am at peace with all .nen. Y "Even GuildfordBerton?" said Jack, quietly. Cyril started, and a look of pain crossed his face. "Jack, I had forgotten him," he said, simply. • "That's only natural," rejoined Jack. "But I haven't, and as I have interfered so much in your affairs, you'd better let me finish up by disposing of that in- genious gentleman," and he began but- -toning up his coat, "What are you going to do?" asked Cyril, gravely. "I'm going to call upon Mr. Berton." "To-nighti" "To -night, for I've a shrewd suspicion that If I wait until the morning I shall not find hila at home." "But—but why not Iet him alone? Why not let him go? Ah, 1 see! I'd almost forgotten." "Yes," said Jack, quietly and grimly, "I orily want to ask Mr. Berton one question, and I intend to have the en - e wer. That question is, `Where is Becca South?' If that answer is satisfactory I r;hould say you had better let Mr. Guild- ford Merton depart in peace.!' "In . Iloaven's name, yes!" responded Cyril. "I don't know that Heaven will have much to do with it,"_ rejoined Tack, go- ing into the hall and asking for his coat and hat. "Bring thine, too," said Cyril, quietly, to the footman. "You mean .to go with' me?" asked Jack. "Cin you ask me, my dear fellow?" "Then Ferndale • apd 1 ether ek shall fro also," said Jack, and he went into the smoking -room and informed them of his purpose. Almost without o word the four then went out. Jack Only made ono remark ss he looked up at the sky. "lf it were not for the bonfire We should want a lantern." Still In silence, or speaking just above et whisper, they went down the lane, aiid eieod before the gate in the walt. "i eekesdt" tlilid licit, and hr toolcad at Cyril.

"Wait --a light," be said, in a voice that trembled slightly. Lord Ferndale struelc < a light, and they entered the room. A strange, pungent smell came out to meet them., and almost stifled them Cyril, with a foreboding of something evil, remembered it. Jack lit a candle and held it up, and as its rays fell upon Guildford Berton's figure, lying half in the chair and half on the floor, Cyril uttered a cry. They raised him, find Jack tore open itis collar, and laid a band upon his heart. Thenhe looked around at the rest, and spoke the one dread word : "Dead)" For a moment or two they stood speechless and awestruck; then, with compressed lips, Jack opened the dead man's coat, and took from the pocket some letters. Cyril bent forward. "They are mine," he said, almost in- audibly. Tack handed them to him, and as he took them something fell ore the floor. Jack picked it up, and Cyril with a shud- der, exclaimed: "My ring! the. ring I gave Becca! And —my God. Jackl—and here is the letter I wrote that night et the fete and gave to her!" and he covered his lace with his hands. Jack rose. "I shall get my answer after all," he said. ";Light that lantern, Ferndale." In awestruck silence, but with a fever- ish eagerness and dread, they searched the grim place from room to room; then, after a moment's thought, Jack led the way to the garden, followed by the trembling old woman uttering inarticu- late cries of terror.• Jack stepped before the heap of leaves and stooped down. "Get me a shade, some one!" he said, hoarsely. • Lord Ferndale brought one, and they stood round while Jack worked. A suspense of a few minutes that seemed ages, and then they heard his voice, solemn as a knell: "I have found the answer; it is here!" . . . Two years later the artistic world was thrown into a state of excitement by a pertain picture in the Academy exhibi- tion of that season. It was a landscape—a small one, bue with two figures; a lady and a child. The lady was seated under an apple tree in a most delightful orchard, and the child was lying on its back, vainly endeavoring to bite an apple at least three timeh the size of its mouth. It was so fresh in treatment, so deli- cately painted, that the connoisseurs were unanimous in their approbations and praise, but the general public, who know little and care less for composi- tions were quite content with being charmed by the ,exquisite beauty of the mother and the delightfully lifelike youngster. It was the picture of the year, and it was found necessary to place before it the protecting rail and policemen which only appear before the great event of the exhibition. Critics praised it, the papers .rhapsodized it, the public crowded to see it, and for that after o winch ex- hibition daysn w h y hibition o ened everybody was asking who and what he painter was, for th name in .the catalogue was evidently an a.scurned one, and told nothing. The mystery only heightened the pub- lic and artistic curiosity and interest, and at dinner parties and in the pauses of the dance one heard people saying to each other: "Have you seen the mother and . child in the apple orchard ? Splendid, isn't it? Wonder who on .earth the man. is?" The secret was very well kept—for nearly a month. At -the end of that time, however, the veru was lifted for a famous critic, ' who was sharper than his fellows, happened to visit the gal- lery .one afternoon, and found the popu- lar Countess of .Arrowdale standing be- fore it. As he looked first at the picture and. then at her she\ happened to smile. Now, the mother was not a portrait of Norah, but Cyril had perhaps uncon- sciously bestowed upon the painted face a reflection., a hint of the smile which was one of the charms with which Norah worked her spells, and the critic divined the truth. "Lady Arrowdale," he said, growing red with the excitement of his discov- ery, "your husband painted that pic- ture." ic- ture" "Ole, please don't tell. It was to he a secret, and—and we ,have kept, it so well t" "Yes,. you have," returned the critic, who, of course, meant to rush off as soon as he could and proclaim his im- portant find. "Yes, indeed, you have. I know Lord Arrowdale's pictures pretty ell, I think, bu,t, though they are good, as I've said very often, they are nothing compared with this.

Kerosene emulsion has long been used for certain insects, but since the ixltro- duction or machines for mixing oil and water in definite proportions, •it has waned in popularity because of its ex- pense in time and material. The propor- tions are a half pound hard or. soft soap, one gallon water, rain water pre - revved, and two gallons kerosene. The soap is dissolved in hot water, the kero- sene added and mixture churned with a pump until creamy. It will soon be- come semi-solid when let stand and will then keep indefinitely. When used it is diluted with ten to twelve tithes its quantity with water. Tobacco is often used as a powder, in solution or as smoke. In the former case it has some fertilizer value and is. often used around fruit trees where root lice are numerous, a few inches of the surface soil being removed and 1% to pounds spread around and covered. It is often dusted upon plants where aphis are prevalent. Tho domineers is generally made from stems and leaves by boiling and sprayed on the plants when cool. The smoke is used only where the plants are in greenhouses cr other inelousure. Hellebore as a powder or decoction le applied to currant and gooseberry bush- es in eery spring as a remedy for worms. It is too expensive for large trees. As a powder it is mixed with five to ten parts flour; as a decoction, one ounce to a gallon. Insect powder or buhach is used most on house plants. As a powder it is dusted either pure or mixed with flour. Sometimes it is burnl in small inebosures like totem - co or decocted for 24 hours at the rate of an ounce to 12 gallons. Sulphur is. used as a powder dusted on plants which have mites and red spider. It IS also evaporated from hot water or steam pipes en greenhouses or in an'evaporat- ing evaporat-ing dish in a sand bath, but it must nev- e) be allowed to burn as sulphur fumes are destructive to plant life. Ammoniacal solution of copper car- bonate is occassionally usedon fruit ape preaching maturity and. on plants which would be rendered unsightly by bor- deaux mixture. It is made by dissolv- ing five ounces coppercarbonate in just enough ammonia water to—aocomplish this and then adding to 40 gallons wa- ter. It is advisable to dilute the am- monia with about eight times its volume before adding the copper carbonate. The quantity of ammonia needed is not of equal strength; about -three pints is usu- al. Copper sulphate is used as a simple =o- lutfon on dormant wood at the rate of three pounds to 50 gallons. It does not stick as well as bordeaux mixture. Iran sulphate is similarly used. one to four pounds to the gallon. Liver of sulphur, four ounces dissolved in four to sixteen gallons water, is employed on foliage, principally upon powdery mil- dews. Sulphur, as already mentioned, is similarly employed. The season usually opens in the or- chard with the clear solutions of cop- per or iron sulphate before the buds commence to swell and when growth starts with bordeaux mixture. Asfruit- ing time approaches, particularly with strawberries, and other small fruits, the clear ammoniacal solution is applied. REARING CALVES SUCCESSI+ULLY. The proper handling of calves is not the least in importance in building up a good dairy herd, says Mr. S. M. King. Many farmers have had their calves Impoveriske Soll Impoverished soil, like impov- erished mpoverished blood, needs a proper fertilizer. A chemist by analyz- ing the soil can tell you what. fertilizer to use for different products. If your blood is impoverished your doctor will tell you what you need to fertilize it and give it the rich, red corpuscles that are lacking in it. It. may be you need a tonic, but more Likely you need a concentrated fat food, and fat is the element lacking in your system. There is no fat food that is so easily digested and assimi- lated as Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil It will. nourish and strengthen the body when,,,nlilk and cream fail to do it Scott's Emulsion is always the same; always s palatable and always beneficial where the body is wasting any cause, either in children` or adults.

Get a pail of earth and dry it. Draw the first' milk. Then let the calf suck once and give a teaspoon- ful of earth three times a day. Open the mouth so as to put it well down in the throat.

We keep our faces turned to- ward the ground, digging away as if life depended upon it, until we forget that there is. such a thing as a star overhead or bright sunshine all about us. Milk -is a product of variable composi- tion, and the constituent varying most from natural or unnatural causes is fat. This constituent happens to have a much larger market value than any other, and it is a reasonable fair index of the food value of normal milk. , Therefore, the price at which milk is sold on the mar- ket should depend upon its fat con- tents. It is unjust to the producer to pay the same price for five per cent. milk as for four per cent. or three per cent. when the milk is to be. used for buttermaking. It is equally_ unjust when it is to be used for market milk, Deal- ers are beginning to realize this fact and to pay a larger price for a richer milk. LIVE STOCK NOTES.
