lay in the fact that his aunt had so cave,

De Vere, emphatically.

quite above her pneition. She had an
arch, pretty face, with beautiful blue -gray
eyes that were almost black when the full
white lids and dark lashes drooped over
them. The dazzling fairnees of her 001u-
plexion was heightened by tho unrelieved
blackness of her dress, and her pontine
lips by contrast looked like roeebude. Two
long, thick braids of lovely chestnut
brawn hair hung down her back, and
some soft, fluffy rings of the same color
waved over the low, broad forehead with
its slender, dark brows. She was not only
beautiful, he looked bright, and intelli-
gent, and the half smile that paxted her
red lips now made her wonderfully lively.
But pretty as she was, she was aware
that Captain Lancaster was regarding
her with knit brows and a general air of
entire disapprobation. Perhaps it was a
novel experience. It seemed to amuse he,.
The dimples deepened around the e'weet,
arch mouth. She looked down at the card
in her hand, and began to read it aloud
in a soft, hesitating, inquiring voice:
"Cap-tain Lan -caster?"
"Yes," he replied, and was on the point
of making hie most elegant bow when he
suddenly remembered that it was not at r
all necessary to -be so ceremonious wittl
the nuree of hie housekeeper's niece. So
he straightened himself up again and
said, almost tartly:
"You are the baby's nurse, I presume?"
The long fringe of the glrl's lashes lift-
ed a moment, and she flashed a dazzling
glance into his face.
"The—baby?" she inquired.
"Yee—the little Mies West.—the child
that is to.ro to England under my care.
Aren't you her nurse?"
The young lady had put a very small,
white hand up to her face and coughed
very bard for a moanent. She looked at
him the next moment, very red in the
face from the exertion.
"I—ah, yee, certainly; I'm the nurse,"
she replied, demaurely.
And then ensued a 'moment's silence,
broken at last by the girl, who said, quiet-
ly and politely:
-Won't you be eeated, Captain Lancas-
ter?"
He dropped mechanically into a chair
near him, but the pretty nurse -maid re-
mained standing meekly in the centre c.f
the room, her small hands folded before
her, a. demure look on her fair face.
The caller cleared his throat and be
gall, rather nervously:
"It isn't possible that you expected to
go to England as that child's nurse?" he
said.
I had hoped to do so," answered the
girl, with a rudder air of chagrin.,
"But—ah--really, you know. you're too
young, aren't you?" stammered Lancas-
ter, feeling abashed, as he knew not why,
but maintaining a, grave judioial air.
"Too young? I should hope not. I 'was
eighteen last. week," meeting a small head
with an air of great dignity.
He could hardly rep'^ss a smile, but be
Put

eyes.
And do you think you can really take
good care of Mies West?" he said. —Re+
member, le is a long trip across the
ocean.'
She flashed me of her swift, bright
glances.
"Indeed?" she said. "But that does not
matter at all, cit', I consider myself quite
competent to take care of Miss West any-
where."
Does sbee mean to be impertinent?" he
thbuglit; but a glance- ah the demure,
downeaet face reassnt•ed him. It was only
the high &elf•confdence of ignorant, inno-
cent youth,
"Yon must exense IDA; I don't know ilow
they do mice things on this side of the
water," he said, feeling mean within hien-
self, yet not at all understanding 'why
it 'wags so. "But, you see, it is all different
in England. There ono chooses a woman
of age an

I remember my own nurse was at least
fifty years old."
"In -deed 1" replied the girl, dropping
him a demure little courtesy that some-
how again filed him with an uneasy
pens( that, under all her pretty humility,
she meant to he impertinent. Ills face
felt hot and burning, He did not know
how to pureue the convereatlon.
Seeing that he made het' no answer, she
looked up with a pretty, appealing air,
"Do I understand that you object -to take
inti me to I<ngland? that toy youth counts
against me?" she inquired,
"Oh, no, not not at, all, If you ere sure
,you can take good care of the btuby," he
replied hastily. "You see, the v<ltole

keeping 1i('cords of 1)tt11'y Cows.
It is well known that there is a.
vast .indifference in. the amount of
milk different cows will ,produce..

Clearly it is desirable to keep

must be kept. No guesswork will

three times as much milk and but'

other cow that WAS her half-sister.
The difference in the cost of feed
eaten by the two Cows was not great

rrhe Illinois experiment Fitatti011
tested the'herds cif eighteen fanners
and found the same 'conditions to
prevail. The best ten cows aver-
aged 3.59 pounds of 'butter in a year
w!ltile the poorest the cows aver-
aged 109 puuti•cls. They found at
least one-third of the cows in the
ordinary herds ito be unprofitable.
_Nally herds in other localities have
been tested with the same results.
It is the rule rather than the ex-
ception for cows in the same herd
to differ widely in the milk pro•
duced. What the cow owner needs
to know is, first of all, how much
milk each cow produces, and, sec-_
ond, how much butter fat it con-
tains.
A good spring balance scale, a
supply of milk records, and a milk
testing outfit are all that are essen-
tial when keeping inilk and fat- re-
cord. A gold spring scale is the
best .for ordinary farm vise. (,)ne
