"I have loved you from the first
moment I saw your face. I pray
Heaven that I may see it last in
this world."
The words fell softly over the rip-
pling waters, softly as the sigh of a
summer breeze: and when they ended
Sir Basil kissed her, speechless with
emotion.
'Three days afterwards Sir Basil
and Leah stood looking again at
the marble Undine. Tho i:parkling
waters were rising now in the sun-
light, and as they fell into the great
marble basin, thoy glistened live
drops of gold.
"I shall always love the Undine."
said Leah. "The duchess has prom-
ised to let 1110 have it photographed
and I shall keep the little picture
where I can always sen it. Undiuo's

"What.?" he asked, gently, seeing
that she paused. •
"You have given me life," she said.
There was no misgiving in her
mind, not the faintest doubt. She
believed implicitly that he loved her
as she loved him.
She puzzled him greatly on one oc-
casion. They had wandered through
the woofs clown to the sea. They
sot under the shelter of the cliffs;
and Leah turned from the rippling
waves to look at. her lover's face.
"Basil," she said, "I have often
wished to ask you—did you recog-
nize me on the morning that you
tact me first?"
"On the morning when you stood
like a beautiful statue, draped in

once went to a fan''y-ball at Naples,
where each lady was dressed to rep-
resent a flower. It was the pretti-
est picture imaginable. Instead of
Mario Stuarts, La Vallieres, -loans

route full of lmpersouutlons of beau-
tiful flowers. I remember the
'lleartsease'—a tell girl, dark, pale,

the color of a purple pansy, with
heartseeesse in her hair anti all over
her dress. The 'White Lily' was an-
other great success. There was a
wend.eltil variety of rosea. I wish
you could have seen the 'Geranium'
—it was a most charming costume.
Now I have two ideas for you, Miss
Hatton—that you represent either
the passion -flower or primrose."
"I will not represent the passion-
flower," she said. "I was very fond
of it—T am now—but it has strange

She could not forget that it was

For the farm dairy 1 suggest the
following as a simple, inexpensive
and satisfactory method of ripening.
The day before the cream is to be set
to ripen, take tho milk from a fresh
cow and run it through the separator
first. 'Then put a q'tart of such skim
milk in a glass fruit jar. Heat it in
a hot water bath to 00 deg' ccs,

this should be a nice "lobbur."
Remove an inch from the top and

there are no lumps left, stir about a

when heating it up to ripen, say.
65 to 70 degrees, according to the
season. Now use buttermilk for a
starter. If there is anything not
just right with the churning, it is
carried to the next, and so tho trou-
ble will grow.
Put the cream utter heating in the
ripening vat or can with the cover
on. 1f held nt a temperature not
below 55 or 60 degrees at the end of
24 hours it should be just right to

Cream may be too acid as well as
not acid enough to get a satisfactory
churning. It should look like satin.
When it is stirred and dropped from
the paddle it should make a slight
indent as it falls on the mass."
If the cream is too worn' to churn,
it should be cooled and held at the
breed on earth. Second, liner

they make a butter of much lliner hour before churning. Unless this is
texture that will handle under ordin- done if the weather be warm, the
ary conditions much. better than that butter will soften in the works, for
from other breeds with a smaller fat
globule.
Unquestionably, good butter has
been and can be made from the old
shallow pans, as by any other me-
thod, but it is much more difficult,
both to get all the fat and control
conditions. I believe it is poor econ-
omy to attempt to make butter to-
day except with a good c,•nt rif.lgal
separator, but a au -called "dilution"
affair is no more a separator than is
the shallow pan.
The inedible should be well and
simply constructed, durable, he able
to skim clean, and deliver a croon
not lass than 40 p.c. fat, and be as
easy of operation as is consistent
with the above. Such will not only
get all the fat but shorten the time
between milking and churning at
least 24 hours. I find with a heavy
create (say 40 p.c.) there will be less
volume to handle, It can bo churned
at a lower temperature and still give
and exhaustive churning in a reas-

It is important that the cream
from the separator should be cooled
thoroughly before it is put to ripen.
But I found that unless one wishes
to churn within 24 hours after separ-
ation. it is not essential that it

TFMP1:ICATURE FOR CHURNING.
'I'Ite temperature at which cream
should be churned will depend on the
breed of the cows, the length of bine
they have been milked, their feed, the
any the cream has been separated,
and the season of the year. Each
t determine this for himself. A
good general rule is, churn at the
lowest possible tetnperuture, so as
to got all the butter, in a reasonable
time. say 30 to 45 minutes. When
than granules are like wheat grains,
stop the churn, and if the buttermilk
is not wanted for human consump-
tion. a dipper or two of cold brine
will help clear off the buttermilk
from the butter.
Another general rule: Wash with
water at as high a temperature as
possible and have the butter retrain
hard. Too cold water tends to chill
the granules. and so the salt will
not dissolve, causing mottled butter. .
In tho winter '1t is Wise to warm the
salt before putting it in the butter.
Usually two washings is sufficient.
Always use cnotgh`water to float
the butter. Too much washing will
injure the flavor. in any event the
buttermilk must be washed out.
I prefer to salt in the churn, as tho
temperature there is more uniform
than it is on the open worker. When

Poultry raising with a Chatham
Incubator is a very profitable and
easily managed occupation. Unless
you want to go into it extensively it
need take but very little of your time.
Government reports show that the
demand for chickens in Canada is
greatly in excess of tiro supply and
Great Britain is always clamoring
for more. That means a steady
market and good prices for chickens.
You cannot raise chickens success-
fully with a setting hen. She is wast-
ing time setting when she should be
laying. While she is hatching and
brooding a few chickens she could be
laying five or six dozen eggs. The
percentage of' chickens she hatches is
much less than that produced by the
Chatham incubator.
It will pay you to own a Chatham
Incubator.
Chatham Incubators contain every
improvement of importance in Incu-
bator construction that has been pro-
duced. They are made of thoroughly
seasoned wood, with two walls, case
within case. Between these walls
mineral wool is packed forming the
very best insulation. Each piece of
the Case is mortise and.}g,ronved and
screwed, making the whole as solid
as a rock. Chatham Incubators are
equipped with scientifically perfect
regulators which are an infallible
means of regulating the temperature.
No cash to pay until
October, 1905.
THE CZAR'S MURDERLAND
PLACE WHERE CUT-THROATS
RULE THE POLICE.
Two Thousand Murders Cons.-nitted
In the Caucasus Every
Year.
Murder and outrage, luckily, are
seldom associated with humor. But
the Caucasus, the giant range which
towers hetecen the ''lack and Cap -
Oat' Seas, has a unique record for
combining ruthless ferocity antlt� un-
exampled rapine with a wit and lev-
ity unexperienced in England since
the good old days when highwaymen
were noted for their gallant manners
and graceful speech, says Pearson's
11'ee'kly,
The Caucasus Provinces belmtg to
Russia. But the Czar, though ho
conquered them finally nearly half a
century ago, has never been able to
pacify the mttinrs. The braver spir-
its took to the hill taS11106S0.9, trans-
formed themselves into brigands, and
today hold in abject terror a coun-
try ns lar;_o as Fnglaad.
h'or murder the Caucasus hold a
record. Two thousand odd are com-
mitted every year. llandlts raid
the valleys, carry off rich merchants,
and hold then' to ransom, or engage
in ]:itched battles with the Czar's
Coss act 6.
As no less than 800 dialects are
spoken by the 8,000,000 natives, It
may be iutagiled that the police
have a difficult tine.
THE OUTLAWS ARE wI'rS,
anti sometimes highly cultivated
encu. Ono of the rest notorious,
Murad Kigilun, was educated at Mos-
cow University, and was known at
the age of twenty-one as author of
a dissertation on the sub)ect: "Tho
Moral Attributes in their Relation to
Religion." lie once entered the big
town of VladikavkaZ for the pur-
pose of plotting a murder. A de -a
toctive, skilled in eavesaroppla), lie-
tened. and noted down every Aar('
he said. But Kiyilun es -aped the
trap, and a 'seek later caught the
tective. Winn he had hanged hit
n3 was his practice, he cut oft his
ears, and sent then' with a polite
note to the chief of police, saying,
"1 hope these ears will continue to
be useful to you."
One of the worst bandits, a Geor-
gian woman, known as "Lisa," has
never been caught. Sho can boast
over thirty rolrberies, most accom-
panied by violence or murder. Lisa's
pretty face is uow known everywhere
but formerly she used to enter the
towns, and under the pretext of sell-
ing fruit, pick up useful information
about intending travellers.
Such was her strength of charac-
ter that her own father was a sub-
ordinatte member of her gang. Lisa's
lust exploit was to meet the police
iN PI'TCHED BATTLE.
She killed two, and captured two
more. releasing them a few days lat-
er with the word "spy" brandied on
their cheeks.
An outlaw, named Akhmetoff, at -
ter capturing and torturing about a
score of men and women, coolly
wrote to the authorities declaring
that he would "restune a lawful and
peaceful life 1f he were given a free
pardon for past offences."
Making a policeman dance until he
fainted, by threatening him with a •
dagger, was one of Akhuletort's re-
cent "Jokes," When the victim came
to, he extracted, under threat of
torture. a complete revelation of eh
the police plans against hintae•lf and
his fellow outlaw!). A Cossack raid,
it appeared, was proposed next (lay.
Having obtained full diOails, Akh-
metoff posted his mer7.10 ambush
along a defile which the Cossacks
must traverse, and shot thusn dow1T
like ratzbits, Five Cossacks were
killed and wounded.
The lust Governor of the Caucasus,
Prince Jolitsin, declared to the ('ear
that "it would need two soldiers for
every native, one to watch him by
night. and the other by day. to
nu,inhtin any eenfilance of order and
civilizalion in the Caucas,w"
That this 19 no exaggeration is
shown by the fact that a recent trial
proved that ninny native ta,licenlen,
fowl about ten per cent, of the town
popnlntiun, were in league with the
bandits.
Some policemen received a percent-
age of the plunder, others.
