They sat watching this magician as
she told then all that they were
to do "It is not all you should

tain to go on with. You will work
with a freer hand, and with more

that this girl here has no trouble

"Rather !" exclaimed Chris, with
a happy laugh. "We shall be an
right now ; there's nothing we need
trouble about. I begin to under-
stand now," he went on, "why you
said at first that there was nothing
left. I suppose you've been strug-
gling, Aunt Phipps, to get this to-
gether for me—eh 7"
"Struggling hard, Chris," she
said with a smile. "But you
needn't think about that; that's all
over now."
"Arid what aro you going to do,
Aunt Phipps7" asked Lucy.
"Oh—I'ln going abroad, I think;
my plans arc not quite settled yet,"
said Olive. "Don't you trouble
about me. I daresay wo shall nieet
again some day."
`Why, of course we shall!" ex-
claimed Chris, in some surprise.
"You are not going to desert, us,
are you 7"
"My way of life has been rather
a wandering one, Chris, and I shall
fino it hard to settle down any-
where. So that when I go to -night
1 shall say 'good-bye,' just in case
boa do not see me for—for a long
time. I must go back to -night,"
she added.
Despite that new tenderness that
had grown up in her, she was to a
great extent still the old self-re-
liant, unapproachable Olive Var-
ney ; and the)• were still the least
little bit afraid of her. They were
very grateful, and she had taught
them to understand her fine strong
nature, and to admit it; but they
knew that she would take her way
alone, as she had always done.
At the last moment, after sho had
refused to allow Chris to go to the
station with her, she called to Lucy;
and the two women went out to•�
gether into the garden. "Walk
down with me to the gate, Lucy,"
she whispered.
They walked down, with their
arms about each other, and very
silently. It was Olive who spoke,
when they stopped at the gate, and
she told the girl, in her strong,
masterful fashion, to return to the
house.
"One last word, Lucy. You are
ro much younger than I am, that I
can talk to you as I might not talk
tt anyone else. Child,"—sho took
the girl's face between her hands,
and looked at her wistfully --"you
hold a treasure that was never
mine, and never can he. Love has
come to your life beautifully, at the
time when love is best; guard it
more than Chris can guard his for-
tune. There is nothing like it, and
all the treasures of the world aro
as nothing beside it. Good-bye:"
"We shall see you again—soon i"
asked Lucy.
She did not answer ; instead, ,he
caught the girl in her arms, and
held her close, as site had done once
before, murmuring low unintelli-
gible things to her, as she might
have done to a child. Then, thrust-
ing her almost roughly away, shit
went out of the gate, and was lest
in the darkness.
Late that night, Olive Varney sat
down in the lodging in London sh
was to leave the next day and wrote
a letter. It had neither address
nor date upon it. and it began with
characteristic abruptness. It was
addressed to Martin illake.

lips. She folded it hurriedly, and
addressed it to hint, and made her
final preparations.
When on the morrow she posted
the letter, and sent out on some
journey of which she could not know
even the beginning, she dropped
Aunt Phipps resolutely behind, and
steeled herself to face the world
again, and to begin it afresh as
Olive Varney.
CHAPTER XXXI.
This was the second day on which
the woman had been lifted in
strong arms, and carried out into
a warm sunlit garden, and laid
down there; and left to look out
over the wide peaceful valley be-
low, and to think and to dream—
the second day 011 which she had
come back, as it were, to life.
It was difficult even to think; it
seemed sufficient to lie there with
closed eyes, and to sink away back
into dreams—lower and lower —
falling—falling—until she stopped
with a jerk at one point, and carne
to a sudden full remembrance of
what she was, and what had once
happened.
They called her Olive Varney.
Difficult to remember that clearly,
because she had been something
else besides; but deep in her inner
consciousness was the remembrance
that she had been Olive Varney. A
frail and broken Olive Varney now,
with hands so thin and weak that
it was difficult to raise them—with
a body so slight that there seemed
nothing of it as it lay sunk among
the cushions. What had happened1
Where was the old strong, domin-
ant creature that had moulded her
own life and other lives as well?
Here, as she lay in the sunligut,,
Ore tried to get back to that r,ie
she had lost. This was not life;
this was a dream—a little space of
time set apart—until she should bo
able to shake herself clear of
dreams, and begin the struggling
again.
There had been a great road,
dark, roaring place they called
London. It was somewhere far off,
and she had lived there; that was
where the struggling had been.
Miles upon miles of streets to be
trodden by her weary feet ; rows up-
on rows of lights looking down piti•
lessly upon her. She had been hun•
gry there—and friendless; sho re-
membered that she had seen the
lights swim giddily above her, and
then had fallen. as it were from a
great height, with a sea of faces
all about her, and all staring into
hers.
What had happened then ? Only
a long dream—an endless proces-
sion of events she could not under-
stand, and in which she seemed to
have no part. Then a change; and
two faces standing out clearly now
and then, only to bo lost again as
she tried to make out whether aha
!crew thein.
The first face was that of a big
soft -footed, blundering woman
with grey hair ; the second that of
a grave -faced mar, who came: in
sometimes and looked at her, and
nodded and went away again. And
now for two mernings the than had
lifted her in his arms. and had car-
ried her into the sunshine while the
grey-haired blundering woman fel-
towed with cushions. She always
dropped a cushion or two on the
way, and the man always spoke to
her about it, and Olive herself tried
t.p laugh ; and then in the midst of
the )aughter it would all fade away
and she would only be conscious
that the sun was warming her, and
that she was safe --until the pleas-
ant dream should end.
On this second morning she be-
cnnu' awnre that the mon was near
her, and vas busily at work on a
large square of caricas. Someone
else had done that, she remembered

and forgotten. She would sleep,

won away the tickle lover.
Masa took an egg and painted
upon it the face of a woman, which
sho lettered "Iame" in scrawling
ideographs. Then by the light of
the moon Masa went out that night
and buried the egg beneath a stone
near the lotus pond in the teahouse
garden. Each night after that for
twenty-one consecutive nights Masa
slipped out of the house at mid-
teght, dug up the painted egg face
of her rival and pricked it a dozen
times with a pin.
On the twentieth night Masa's
illP
curse began to work. Iatne was
singing and playing the koto. Her
lover, Kishida, sat on the balcony
of the tea house over the pond of
the gold fishes, listening enraptur-
ed to the notes of his sweetheart's
love song. Suddenly Iame scream-
ed and threw her hands to her fore-
head. The manna -sun rushed in tc
find the girl in a fever and deliri•

They put Iame to bed, and the
next morning they found that her
face was pocked with little burning
red spots. Physicians wore called,
they worked over Iante in vain to
save her beauty. After several
weeks of tossing on her mats with
e raging fever the girl recovered,
but her beauty was gone. Her face
was pocked, just as the egg face
was mottled with tho pricks of the
pin.
Then it was that Masa's triumph
was nipped short. Yaye-sakura,
the little maid who had spied for
her, had watched her go to the
stone near the lotus pond and prick
the face on the egg. Yayc-sakura
slipped over to the geisha house
where Iame was convalescing and
for a consideration told all she knew
about tho affair. . 4

eo lately struggled. She tried hard
to get back to the garden and to
the man who worked ; but sho only
came back fitfully, as it wore, and
at last gave up the attempt alto-
gether.
Then followed a week in which the
struggle, begun with each bright
day, grew less and less hard; with
each day new life was waking in
her veins; the heavy head was
growing less and less heavy, and
definite thoughts were taking the
place of the shadowy dreams that
had so long filled her hind. Olive
Varney was coming back into the
world out of which she had so near-
ly faded altogether.
So there came a day when she
knew with certainty that the grey-
haired, soft -footed, blundering wo-
man bore the lianio of Odley, and
had once lived is a place in far-
away London known as Greenways'
Gardens; and that the man who
painted, and who carried her out
into the sunlight every morning,
was a certain Martin Make who
had had a studio not far from
Groenways' Gardens. That was
sufficient for the moment ; perhaps
/the would learn something more
presently.
It was quite near the close of the
day, when the sun was setting over
the broad valley below thou, that
Martin drew his easel nearer, and
sat down, and looked round at
Olive with s smile. "We're quite
strong to -day," ho said ---"and I
want to talk to you. You won't
mind my snaking the moat of the
light—will you? I want to have a
dash at that sunset."
He started to work at a great
rate, and went on speaking, never
taking his eyes from 1►is work or
from the valley.
"We've been down here quite a
long time," said Martin, frowning
at his work, and painting busily.
"You won't mind if I go back a lit-!
tle ; I don't suppose you will re-
member anything.
"No," she said weakly. ''1 want
to hear all about it.''
"When you wrote me that letter,
I inade a desperate effort to find
you. I hunted about; I advertise, ;
I did everything. But you had dis-
appeared utterly, and I aliniist gave
up hope of ever seeing you again.
I was sorry, because I knew that
you were facing the world with no
experience, and with no one to help
you.
"Yes; I remember," said Olive
slowly. "i tried desperately hard
t..• get some work to do; they only
laughed at toe, and had nothing to
a•ffer roe. I tramped the streets—"
"And yet would not come to a
friend who would gladly have help-
ed you 1" asked Martin, with a
quick glance at her.
"I couldn't do that ; 1 had done
with all that," site said. "I re-

Till. NEW YEA It' FLOCK.
Though it was decided last spring
e hat breed of hens was going to be
kept for next year's laying the time
will soon be hero to decide again
what birds will represent that
breed. This latter decision is of
much more importance that the
matter settled in the spring.
In selecting the breed, what was
wanted was one that we liked, one
that would give eggs the year
round, one that laid most in :nun -
tiler and one that gave eggs and
meat, etc. The color that suited
eur fancy, the one that didn't crow
too much or too early in the morn-
ing, the one that was easiest to
keep out of the garden, or the one
that was bust able to forage. Tak-
ing some or all of these questions
anco than ttie individuals. Li se-
lecting the individuals that aro to
compose the flock there are a few
specimens that are not wanted.—
Old birds are not wanted.
Old birds are not profitable. Don't
keep an old hen simply because she
has some peculiarity you like. Sen-
timent is all right in its place, but
in the poultry yard it doesn't al-
ways pay. The second season as a
rule is long enough for the best hen
to live.
Don't have immature pullets in
the flock. Have them well develop-
ed before cold weather conies. Have
no cripples or deformed birds; none
that are or have boon sick.
If you want to breed true to the
heed cull out all that are off in
color and shape. Cull out the lazy
birds, have no loafers. Like begets
like.
Have no male that is not vigorous
and full of life. Tho one that is
never heard crow had better be
eaten. Give the Grower the prefer-
ence. Have the flock made up of
individuals that aro good represen-
tation of the breed, a fair size ra-
ther than over or under. Have
thein well matured and from a good
healthy parent stock of good laying
stock.
CLIMBING THE LADDER.
Denmark formerly occupied the
lowest rung of the agricultural lad-
der. This little European commu-
nity has risen from the bottom rung
to the big firm platform surmount-
ing the agricultural ladder, and
Denmark started early and did it
in the right way. In 1844 this small
European community established
high schools where real agriculture
and horticulture was taught. There
are now seventy-eight. of these with
an attendance of some six thou•
sand. Its marked su,;aess is the re-
sult children in these
snit of educating
schools. As soon as the pupils take
up their work on the farts and mar-
ket garden they throw away the old
farmer's nlnutnacs and wipe off the
slate the time-honored custom of
planting lima beans after flair
o'clock in the afternoon of May 29,
hence in thirty years they jumped
this toy kingdcrrn to the very top,
and the result is that Denmark's
butter. bacon, eggs and all other
cgrieultural products that Den-
mark ships, brings the top
notch returns in the markets of the
world against all the other inhabi-
tants thereof. —

Seven or eight sheep will pasture

Hero is one roan's secret for mak-
ing hens lay in winter : About Sep-
tember he shuts them tip and gives
a very poor diet for a week or two.
Then he lets them out and feeds
all they can possibly eat. This
fc rces the molting period, and be-
fore cold weather comes on they
all have their new coat of feathers.
Then they aro ready for business,
and keep at it throng} • t the win-

Give the growing pig; plenty of
chance to exercise while they arc
growing. While they aro young,
health and vigor are more to he de-
sired than fat. We may bo able to
secure a more rapid growth, both
in size and flesh, by keeping con-
fined and feeding concentrated
food, but such a course is sure to
have a debilitating effect, and un-
less extra care is given, a less
growth in the end will be secured
than if plenty of exercise is given
during the sunnier.
Wintering a flock of turkeys is
not so expensive as one would at
first imagine. During the very cold
weather, when we expect them to
he perfectly ravenous, they scarcely
