that ltosanrond was better -so much be

with her if he chose.
Only once since the tearful night when
he found her moaning in her bridal
dress had he stood by her bedside -for,
though he longed to be there, ho could
toot endure to see her turn away from
him, whispering as she did so, "It was
cruel -oh, so cruel to deceive me so.
Neither had he been near Marie Porter;
consequently ho knew nothing of the
/Deans by which she had unposed upon
Lim the story of her death. But Rosa-
mond knew -Rosamond could tell him,
and from no other lips would he hear
lit. So, when he learned that she was
Letter he asked to see her alone, and
Mrs. ('eters, to whom he had necessar-
ily confided the story of his marriage,
carried his message to Rosamond.
For a moment Rosamond did not seem
tie hear, but when the message was re-
reated the great tears forced themselves
from beneath her long eyelashes, and
rolling down her cheeks dropped upon
the pillow.
"He might have spared me this," ho
said; "but if it Is his wish, 1 can see
him."
With a mighty effort she stilled the
violent throbbings of her heart, forced
an unnatural calm upon her face and
whispered, "Let him come now; I am
ready."
Ile was standing without the door, ro
ncor that he heard the words, and in a
moment he was at her side. Failing
upon his knees before her he clasped
her hands in his, Imploring her forgive-
ness for tho greet wrong he had done
her in not telling her the truth at first.
"But i am innocent of the last," ho said;
"believe me, Rosamond, 1 thought her
dead, or I had never asked you to De
my wife. i know now how she deceived
me so terribly; but you know, and I have
sought this interview to hear the story
from your own lips. Will you tell it
to ane, darling -Miss Leyton, I mean,"
he added hastily, as he sow a shadow
of pain flit over her fnco.
"1 will it I can," she faintly answered,
and sumrnoning all her strength she re-
pealed to him what Miss Porter had
told her, except, the parts with which
she knew he was familiar.
"The plot was worthy of her who
/ funned it," he said bitterly. Then, as
Rosamond made no reply, he continued:
"She told ycu, I suppose, of our mar-
ried life, and painted mo the blackest
villiun that, ever trod the earth. This
may in part bo true, but Rosamond,
though 1 nlfly never know the bliss of

While on the other hand, if a ewe of
good milking qualities is not allowed
to drop her lamb until after being turn-

supply of milk to begin with, more than

same principle, of a cow with which the
calf is allowed to run, or Is being milk-
ed by a careless milker, she will readily
accommodate the flow of milk to the

lamb needs more nourishment her milk
flow is partinlly dried up.
it is n decided advantage to have n

so constructed as to forth small pens in

And It is a gond practice, when it is
known that this period is about at hand,
to 'dace the ewe in one of these pens,

it is also n gond practice to separate

It is an unnatural action and there is

Sows fed on corn never have as gond

"There scenes to be dilliculty some.

"Perhaps you'll be se po'ile as In show
us how to capsize that beast," spoke up
a burly. grimy giant. "If it nine too

"Oh. certninly. with pleasure," ur-
banely answered Jack.
Then to every ode's nnutzemenl he
vaulted over the fcnee and epproarhed
the bull. Down went the beast's head,
up went his tail, and he charged fltr-
tousle,. Jack dodged, and the bull
crashed against lee fence. Again and
again he made his rush, and again end
again Jack leaped lightly out of the way.
The men about the enclosure tvafchelt
breathlessly, now and Then entreating
the young fellow to come out of dnngel•.
Jack only nodded carelessly and saun-
tered about.
Finally the bull stood stork -still, eying
Jack with sullen bellows. Ile wns tise it
of charging, and a bit uncertain 1+hal
to do. Jack walked to within an inch
of his nose; then, as the brute prepared
for one more rush, he sprung full et
hire. Ile seized one of the horns wit,'t
bath hinds, and placed one foot on ilk,

wrestle. and Jack whirled through fMet
air, lauding on the soft ground ten feet
away. But the bull lay rolling on his
bflek; that twist of rho head had upset

The men sprang over the fence, and
in an instant the creature was tied.
Jack coolly sal on the helpless body,
brushing the dust and dirt off its
clothes. The giant regarded hhn with
blank astonishment. Jack laughed.
"Look here, old fellow," the said, inzt-
y "You don't understand what n bull
is. I'll tell you. It's a thing some people
look at from the safe side of the fence,
and other people Lake by the horns."
