Madge, who had proceeded to station Il was with a heavy heart that Job QocI,ledge took his leave from Baste arm--a sense o1 evil which he coul sot shake off seemed to weigh heavil &pun his heart. Ile knew that Corine's father would be 'anxiously awaiting a few lines from Iw to Inform hits of the result of h trip to the farm. He could not worr aim .with the knowledge of the recen accident, especially as sho was doing - nicely toward mending; nor could h write him how coldly she had refused aim -utterly refusing to give him on ray of hope that he might ever win her for his bride. "1 must not lose hope," he soliloquiz ed, "for then there would be nothin worth living for. Corine will realize my tlevotion In time, and if it la true that a great love must win love in return, she will care for me sometime." But that sometime seemed so indefi- nite, It was little wonder that his heart telt heavy and sad In his bosom. Gilbert Forrester saw his rival come end go -and the brevity of his call showed him that his mission had been fruitless, If he had asked Corine a second time to wed him, even it his sad face had not betokened it. "Worth doesn't count with girls now- " -days," ruminated Forrester, as he looked atter the tall figure disappearing down the dusty country road. Il takes Hash and a flattering tongue every time." He wrote Corina a longer letter than ever that afternoon, spreading on the love Thicker than ever, as he told him - Self. with a boisterous laugh, as he lanced It over to see how it read, ad- ding a postscript sending her any amount of the sweetest of kisses and fissuring her that he would not endure the suspense of not seeing her much longer. That letter had the effect of bringing Corine out into the grounds the very next morning. She had lived and Malt - El so upon the tender missives that she was ready almost to throw herself In her lover's arms, braving and defying everybody to part them. When she had signified her Intention to be carried in- to the grounds, the doctor looked at her for a moment slightly puzzled, thinking what a bundle of contradictions young girls were. Yesterday she had looked upon the idea with something very like horror, apparently, when John Rock- ledge had volunteered to carry her down -now she was just as determined to go down -when John was not there to humor her whim. "You are no light load, my dear," said the doctor, bluntly. "You must not lake the notion to be carried up and down very often, or the servants might .obje:•t." "What have the servants to do with II, pray, Dr. Baxter?" Inquired the girl n , herself on the green grass at her feet. "There is no need for you to remain d with me, my good girl," she said. "You y may go back to the house -and to your work. f will call you If 1 need you." "My work, until late in the afternoon, Is all finished, miss," said Madge, r•e- j, renely. "1 do not mind sitting here with y you at all; Indeed it is a great pleasure s for me to do so. 1 promise not to dis- turb you. 1 have my crocheting in my e apron pocket, and 1 can work away on that." e "You would tire me to death to look at you dropping and picking up stitch- es If there Is anything that makes me . wish to fairly Ay with nervousness it 's seeing people do fancy work," cried Co- nine, pettishly. "Then 1 will leave It until another time," declared Madge, quietly. "1 would not annoy you for the whole world, my lady." Gilbert Forrester had turned away with a decided frown on his face, and Corine was fairly desperate as to how le get rid of the girl who seemed de- termined not to get Md of. "i should like a hook of anecdotes to read," she said. "Will you get the ono 1 was reading yesterday for me?" "She will not be able to find that in a hurry, I think." she said to herself, "for John Rockledge, of course, put !t In his pocket to get the rest of the set which 1 asked him to send out to me." To her consternation, Madge produced the book in question from her capaci- ous pocket, remarking, demurely: "Mr. Rockledge meant to take this with him yesterday, but forgot it, i am quite sure. 1 discovered it lying on the hatrack this morning, and i put it In my pocket to bring it up to you." Corine bit her lips fiercely, and with the keenest vexation. She had made the greatest of efforts to get out of tho house In order to have a few words with her adoring lover -and now -was a glri like Madge, one of the serving maids, go- ing to balk her upon what she had set her very heart? Another thought struck her. "You may bring mo a pencil and a paver that 1 may make extracts from it," she said, with a haughty ring of im- patience In her voice. These articles Madge also produced from her pocket with a serenity that made Corine fairly laugh in spite of her growing anger. Gilbert Forrester came to her rescue. With a knowing look, he snid to Co - rine: "if you have no further use ter me miss, 1 will be moving on." "Certainly," murmured Conine. grow- ing crimson and very uncomfortable. This conniving to secure a secret inter- view was beyond her resources. As Gilbert Forrester turned sway, he i mannged to whisper to Madge without being noticed: "Ah, how unkind of you not to think of spending some of your leisure time with me -having all of the afternoon with me. Try and break away fn ten or fifteen minutes, it you can possibly do so, and wall for me down dothe mea - w . I swill come to you Iat the far nhere asaquick- ly as 1 can. Be sure and wait for me there." "i will manage 1t," whispered Madge, her face beaming with smiles as she welched him turning away. Alt this had occurred In such n short srare of time that Corino scarcely had noticed that he was speaking with Madge. She was nonplused to see him saun- tering off, and was et her wits' end to know what to do to recall him. A to her glimmering mh nMadosoon f eafter began truth to melee excuses for leaving her. Madge was no sooner out of sight than Gilbert Forrester hurriedly retraced his steps, and in a moment he had re- gained her Aldo. end she was in his arms. while he covered her We. hair and lips with passionate kisses that quite took the girl's heart from her as well as her breath. g "'very much. ▪ my child," returned the (doctor: "one will have to perform the ;Service for you until ho grows weary cf it, and, then the services of another 'one must be enlisted." "What about the new gardener?" queried Corine, and despite her efforts to look unconcerned as she asked the uustIon. sho could not help blushing a ery real, which the doctor, old as he 'was, was not slow to note, and he wondered what brought the heightened color to the fair, young face thus. "1 should not think of asking him to aindertake anything of that kind. It's only family servants of long standing that I would call upon to-" "Ridiculous?' cut in Conine, without giving him time to complete the sen- tence, adding, impatiently: "Ile looks stronger than any of the rest. I should Leel safer with hien." "As you will my dear child," re- plied the doctor. thinking that if ever n will needed curbing it was that of the willful young daughter of his friend.

"These rich young girls think they can ljleve everything their own way." she Soliloquized. "but Ihls Corine Barrow !will find her match In me.

"How have you amused yourself, my dear?" she asked, bending over Corine and raising the lovely dimpled chin In her hand that she might look into the liquid depths of those azure blue eyes, which to her were so beautiful and In- nocent. Corine held up the book demurely which lay in her lap -not trusting her- self to answer -feeling that an evasion was better than an untruth. Meanwhile !sledge had grown Mired of waiting at the trysling place for tho coming of the swain, who was evidently in no hurry to keep his anointment.

She did n show how pleased she was at his cot ing, but hent her head the closer ov the bit of fancy work which helped t► to while away the idle moments. "Y9it are coming at last, Mr. Garde er?"Thhe said, when the footsteps length ceased close by her side. "Yo ten minutes have lapsed into three tim ten, or more," she added, without re ing her Eyes from her crocheting. "T next time you ask nm to come here a wall for you i think I will give you ha an hour the start." She was considerably miffed, but she looked up with a very coquettish smile, which Instantly faded from her lips es she beheld -not the new gardener stand- ing by her side -but Bob Gray, one of the farm hands. who had long loved Madge, and had loved her in vain. "So!" he cried huskily. "You were cit. ting here waiting for the dandy garden- er)" he cried, an angry fire leaping in- to his dull eyes. "i suspected that much. Madge Harvey; but let me tell you, the gardener is not wasting his timo thinking of you. and worrying whether you will be waiting or not. As 1 just told old misses up at the house, he's enjoying himself like a lordly gen- tlemen, stretched under the trees, look- ing up into the pretty face of the little heiress who is slopping at the farm - and for all the world like a lover, I can assure you. i saw him reach and take her hand in his and hold it." "What a falsehood!" riled Madge. "as 1f you could expect any one to believe such an untruth. Why, man alive, he Is a stranger to Miss Corine Barlow, the heiress of Linwood Hall." "Whet my eyes saw i must believe." declared Bob Gray, stolidly. "Ile was making love to her as sure as fate -be- lieve it or not, as you like." Madge got un angrily and flrnrne,'d MAY from him, answering never a word. "1 shall see for myself," she mutter- ed, under her breath, as she est across the meadow in the direction of the apple orehard. Before she reached it. she came across the object of her solicitude 1n the gar- dens. She stepped before him making a taw. mocking courtesy. exclaiming: 'I should hate to hang until you came to perform that service, d •spite Cnrine's vigorous protests that she would feel safe with no one save the young man who had brought her out from the house. "The new gardener is very busy just now," responded Mrs. Baxter. "1 will be responsible that you do not corse to grief through the carelessness of Bob Gray. Ile is as brave as a general, and a'{ strong as a lion." After what she had been told, the old lady determined if the willful little heir- ess was Inclined to get up anything like a flirtation with th new gardener, r would nip It at once in the bud.

"Now, what should put such a notion as that Into your head in the face c.f what 1 have just explained to you?" he retorted, In apparently high dudgeon, and looking exceedingly offended. "A little bird that was up in the apple Tree told me so, perhaps," she retorted, saucily. "Then you tell that bird for mo that he Is a falsifier, and that his object seems to be to attempt to make discord between the nicest little girl in the world and me." Madge blushed at the well -directed compliment. "Meaning me, i suppose?" she said, demurely. "Of course," he retorted. "Who else could 1 mean, my pretty Madge?" "isn't the . heiress nicer than i am?" she queried, looking hien keenly in the eye. "Not to my mind." he returned, promptly. mach to Madge's relief. Ile wondered If she suspected any- thing.

ADVANTAGES OF CHAFFING. Tho advantages of chamng (cutting) hay in establishments where large num- bers of animals are fed aro apparent upon a little reflection. In such places the hay, if long, occupies too much s; ace, litters up the building, and the attendants aro not readily able to sup- ply each animal its proper allowance. where tray is chaffed, the addition of a small amount of water lays the dust, and the helper can readily and accur- ately measure the quantity ordered fir each animal. These advantages do not hold with the same force ori stock farms, where the feeder personally supervises the supply or provides to a compara- tively limited number of animals. Again when hay and straw are chaffed, then moiste.Aed. and meal added, the mixture is in condition to be readily masticated and swallowed so that the nutriment has a longer time to remain in the stom- ach for digestion than Is possible where long, dry hay is fed. This an item of importance with herd worked horses which are in the stable only at night. Horses not hard worked, fattening cat- tle, and farm stock generally have ample time for mastication and digestion, and with these there Is less necessity or none for chaffing hay and straw." cf r 4 MAGNETIC KNIVES.

The Registrar -General of Great Bri- tain, in his annual report for England and Wales, again records a teeing birth rate. But this is aecompanieeby an appreciable drop in the death rale, and at the same time marriages, taking the country generally, were enure nu- merous In 1905 than in 1901, though this particular London still shows a Te -,- cline. In the following table the numbers of marriages, births and deaths, with the rates per 1,000 of the population, and the changes as compared with 1904, both as regards England and Wales and London alone, are duly set forth : England and Wales - Number. Rate. Change.

The birth rate was 1.8 below and• the death rate 2 lower than the average, both these being, in fact, the lowest of anrecorded year. 1n.y London lire decline of marriages was equal to 1 per 1,000 on the decen- nial average. In this case, too, the birth rate, which was 2.2 below the average, was the lowest on re ord, and so was the death rate, which tell to 2.7 below the decennial average. The density of the popula:ion of the County of London in 1905 is returned at 40,075 persons to the square mile. The quarterly return for the first three months of 1906 continues the tale of de- cline in births. In England and \Vales they numbered 237,396, or at the rate of 27.9 annually per 1,000 of the popula- tion, which again is the lowest on re- cord for any first quarter of the year. The deaths numbered 140,462, or at the rate of 16.5 annually per 1,000, as com- pared with 18.7 for the ten preceding first quarters. in the United Kingdom 296,741 births and 181,635 deaths occurred in the quar- ter. Tho natural increase in the popu- lation, therefore, was 115,106. +-- GAMBLING IN RUSSIA. St. Petersburg Governor's Decree Pro- hibits All Hazard Games. The 8t. Petersburg gambling clubs, which have ruined many a promising young life, have been in their turn threatened with ruin by the civil govt'- nor's decree prohibiting all hazard games. { Until now, it was only certain spec!- ; fled games that were not allowed to I e played, because it was not considered advisable to antagonize the entiro police force by cutting off a sure source of their Income, as they received, one and all, handsome lips from the gaming house keepers. Tho consequence was that when one game was stopped, an- other name was promptly invented for lit. and provided the necessnry paten o11 I was distributed, it was merrily continu- ed until atter a time the same process was gone through again. Thus, for in- stance, when "macao" was prohibited, it was continued under the name of "trilby." Nothing, however, will stop a Rus- sian from gambling, and nt the clubs play Is now carried on 'for chnritable purposes," part of the revenue being de- voted to the snpport of such institutions as are under "distinguished" patronage, which requires a nice discrimination on the part of the donors. Card games used to be the only ones played for stakes in the Russian cape. tet, but of late "petite chevaux" had become quite the rage. K to *:R AS RIFLE Citi I IC. Creeps Behind a Soldier and Reproves ilia► for Negligence. Many fishing vessels have bee wrecked in recent times because of In explicable errors of the compass. Thl fact leas induced the, underwriters ,o fishing vessels sailing from Grimsby England, to make an investigation which has led to the discovery that th knives commonly used by fishermen ar a fosilive danger to navigation.
