But she dared not do. this. Were she to tell Derry one quarter ofthetruth of her wretehed exist. epee, who knew 'what he might not Besides this, her honor compelled. Tier to be silent, Whatever hap, petted, she was C'raiwslaaw's wife! She had married him knowing what he was. To utter complaint was therefore out of :the question. And even were this :riot so, she would have shrunk from letting Derrick Darnley, of all people, into the dark truths of her present lire. With a magnificent courage she conquered her longing to cling to hire as the, #first friend she had met for months, to beg him to shield and protect her, to remove her from the horrible surroundings which made up her daily existence. She even forced a, wan, faint smile toher lips, i "Don—dont,„ .she said, thotagh the smile soon went, and a quiver came instead. "1 hwee everything that money can buy—and what wo- man wants mores!” Darnley's dark eyes dwelt on her face tenderly. Then, with a sudden movement, full of chivalry and homage, he stooped and kissed her hand; the next moment be, would have turned teway, but she stopped him. "Derry, tell me—tell me of Doro- thy—my sister, my mor© than friend! She is in trouble, and I an: here—here, so elose, and yet so frac away from her! Ah! in all my trials, there has been none greater to bear than this!" The words seemed to escape her unoonseiously, forced from her overcharged heart by the Fulness of her bitterness, and Darnley was more than answered. He knew then that his fears had been only too well founded ,and that Nancy had more to fight against in her present life than vulgarity and un- congenial surroundings. But as she had been brave and refused to, complain, so he would honor her courage. ' ile saw she did not know how plainly she had given him the knowledge for which he had asked. She had been think- ing of Dorothy, and in the sympa- thy and love she gave to her girl- friend, her sister, her bitter cry of despair had escaped her unnoticed. In a few gentle words he gave her the last hopeful news of Sir Hum- phrey. "Ali!" she breathed, fervently, clasping her hands together, "that at least is a glimpse of sunshine to me! They were so good—so very,. very good to me. Sometimes when I am sitting alone dreaming, it seems as if all that happiness which game to me through their goodness never belonged to me. It was some other creature who lived up at the Hall and basked in the sunshine and flowers, was beloved by dear Dorothy, petted. by Sir 'Humphrey, made much of by every shelter, Nancy bowed her -head to leave you 1" hide her tears. Now her self-re- proaeh, her remorse was .gone, for Derry did not, could not surely hate her if he spoice like this. For an instant they stood quiet- ly, though the pulses of each thril- led with mingled ecstasy and raise ery. "I have frightened you by my sudden appearance, dear," the man said at last, speaking in tones of the deepest tenderness and sad- ness. "1 who would sooner cut off my right hand thee .give you a mo- ment's pain. Can you forgive me, Nancy ?" Her fingers closed rouncl his for an instant.

The sale is conducted in a, peculiar way. The buyers exam- lee xamine the sponges and when the auc- tioneer opens the market and calls for bids they write their offers on slips of papers and hand them in, The auctioneer examines the high- est bid, which may be refused by. the owner, but the same sponges are not offered for sale twice the same day.

I Red )!eatts Not the Only Article of Food to be A.voitled. If there is a disease more than any other that is ocused by im- proper diet, and that eau be Velped most often by a diet properly ad- justed to the Capacity of the pati- ent, it is rheumatism, in almost every one of its forms. There is apopular belief that meat, especially red meat, is the only archfiend thatcarries into the aek stem uric acid and the other mem- bers of the purin group, but it is not correct. Tea, coffee, ehoeolate, cocoa, peas, beasts, asparagus, on-' ions and a few other foods all eon- tsin the purin bodies to sore ex- tent. Animal soups and :malt li- quors are also guilty. All alcoholic liquors are objec- tionable, some, of course, more than others. By many the white meat or chicken or other fowl is considered much less pernicious than red meat, such as beef, mut- ton, lamb, etc.; by others this is contradicted. Excellent authorities, however, state that whatever may be true theoretically the 'so-called red meats seem most objectionable practically. Increasing the easily digested animal foods, allowing milk, eggs, aA small amount of cheese, broiled of roasted eats beef, lam b an 1 chicken in small quantities once a day often brings as happy result. Combine with these farinaceous foods, such as rice, farina, tapioca, wheat bread, etc., and suitable ve- getables and fruits. Such procedure may give just the relief the over- worked machine is Braving; During acute attacks of rheumatism the diet should consist of milk, butter- milk, milk toast, gruels, etc. This should continue so long tt,s there is any fever. All meats and other objectionable articles mentioned above should be excluded until re- covery is assured. Alkaline waters are valuable, and excellent results follow the use of generous quanti- ties (at least three pints daily) of any pure soft water taken between. meals. .Tl When we hear some people talk we wonder how itis possible for them to change their minds. tion, that it _ struck him to the have heard her voice, and ,yet—yet heart.' ` I' do not move a step to help her.

Clialenseerevaetaaireeteseweveeetiteceei On the Fars eleeeeieetaleeveavaveveeetala TIME FOR COW TO FRESHEN... Winter dairin hass been advo- cated cated for many years on the ground that it is mare profitable. In the first place, there is not as 'much work on the farm in the whiter time to claim the attention of the owner as there is in the summer. During the summer months the fields must be tended, the erop gathered, repairs made on build ng; etc,, while in the winter the da iry- man has an opportunity to devote the greater portion of his time to his cows.. When proper methods .are used in preparing a ration for cow, is very doubtful whether it costs any more to feed her in the summer than in the winter,, especially when we take auto consideration that a drought is apt to come during the mouth of July and. August and force the dairyman to feed ,,grain and hay. Moreover the price of land has been steadily advancing, making pasturage more and more expensive. With the use of the silo the growing of clover or alfalfa makes it possible for the dairyman not only to prepare aa, very good, ration, but a very eco, xtomical one. Further, cows that calve in the fall will produce more milk in a year, as a rule, than those that drop their calves in the spring, If a herd is properly fed during the winter season the milk yield will he sustained throughout the winter and wizen they are turned to grass in the spring the stimulating ef- fect of the grass will usually in- crease their milk flow and there will be no heavy shrinkage in milk flow until the cows are ready to go dry. ,Another reason for having the cows calve in the fall is that it gives the calf a better opportunity te de- velop. When calves aro 'born in the spring they are apt to be trou- bled considerably by files to whose ravages they aro very susceptible. Fall born calves receive closer at- tention from the feeder than if born in the spring, as there are not so many things claiming his atten- tion. For the first few months of the calf's existence, it can make but little or no attention, which is no drawback, as the fields are demand- ing all the time that a farmer can give. In many respects we consider fly time the hardest and at least the moat aggravating time to produce milk and the more caws that are dry at this season of the year,*the better, so far as the milker is con- cerned. We recognize, of eourse, there are circumstances and condi- tions which make it more profitable for men to have their herds calve in the spring, and dairymen supply- ing cities with milk must have their herds calve at all .seasons of the year, but as a general thing we be- lieve it is more profitable and moxa: satisfactory to have the herd calve: in the fall,—Hoard's Dairyman. STOCK IN SUMMER. Nothing contributes more to tha: thrift of live stock than persistent. attention to its needs. The spas- modie enthusiast whose devotion to his charges is in proportion to the immediate impulse is never a real, stockman. Fhysical well being can- not, be administered in bulk. The. animal Which is comfortable, with- out hunger or thirst from day to day, and not subjected to disease, maintains a. healthy, steady advance, in growth, flesh or milk production. Everyperiod of hardship„ however short, is accompanied and followed by stagnation of nutritive processes and the possible loss of progress al- ready made. The pasture season is hailed as a, relief from daily ministration to the comfort of stock, but that idea. is generally overworked, The , na- tural advantages of grazing and hospitable weather are easily dissi- pated by carelessness, Short pas- ture, a stale water supply, insuffi- cient shade and protection from, ties, vie with the ravages of disease,. parasites and preventable accidents. in °annoying the stock and robbing the stockman, As the summer advances there is.. a strong temptation to allow ani-, seals to fare as best they May while; the entire attention of the farm, help is given over to the crops.; This eourse .cannon be safely follow -- ed, When Attention lapses aech° dents seem most prone to come. Even if complete} arrangemcnta are made for carrying stock past theharvest rush of work with the minimum of attention, responsibil- ity cannot be laid aside. A few years ago a farmer busy cutting wheat did not see his flock of sheep from one Sunday until the next.°Izx the meantime several. Lambs were killed by dogs, alai a. fat ewe, un- able to get up after rolling over, on her back, had perished after an evi- dent struggle' of a, day or two. Ponds and streams sometimes go dry ry with amazing suddenness in harvest time, with consequent suf- fering to animals.: Blackleg may get. in deadly workamong the calves of; a herd when frequent- inspection. and timely vaccination would haver nipped the epidemic at its incep- tion. In e hundred ways the revenue' from summer pastures may be lost: by the man who is too busy heret and there to attend to all of his. interests. The stockman can neverr, shake off :responsibility.
