Guildford Buten flung himself into the chair lately occupied by Mr. Furlong. and clasped his forehead with his bands. The revelation he had heard was -to stupendous that 'he had scarcely realized it, or its effect upon Ids hopes and am- bitions. How long be sat staring before him, and going over and over the pug- nant words which Furlong had wide- pered, he dld not know; but suddenly he was amused by a sound of hammering at the door in the wall. Ile started to his feet, white with fear, his over-stralned nerves selling him el -raking and trembling. Then he took tho lantern, and with unsteady feet went down to the gate. "Who's there?" he demanded. "Is that you, sir?" came the response. "For God's sake, come up to the Court, Mr. Buten!" Ho opened the door, but not fully. and, holding up the lantern, saw one of the grooms standing outs:de, holding e horse by the bridle. "What is the matter, Marston?" he asked wilt dry lips. "Come al once, sir," replied the groom. "The earl is dying -is dead by this lime, I'm afeard.' Guildford Berton went back for his coat and hat, rnoving like a man in a dream. "Hero, take my horse, sir," said the groom, flurrledly. "111 run on after you." "Who sent for me?" asked Guildford Berton, as he sprang into the saddle. "I don't know -her ladyship, or per haps Mrs. Harmon. I was to tell you te come without loss of a moment." Guildford Berton thruct In the spurs and tore off. A groonwas in waiting. and took the horse, and the butler re- ceived him at the hall -door. "Mtn afraid you're Loo late, sir," he said, in a hushed, awed voice. "The earl was taken worse soon after you went; a kind of fit, from all I can make out, and—" Guildford Berton moved toward the stairs as Harmon came down. Her eyes were red, and she supported herself by the balustrade, and he had no need to ask the momentous question. "Yes, sir," she said, with a sob, "his lordship is dead. A quarter of an hour ago— fle stared up at her. He was not thinking of the earl, but of Norah, . "And -and Lady Norah?" he said, al- most inaudibly. "My poor mistress!" was all she could say. He looked down to hide the sudden flash which shot into his eyes. "llid he -was he sensible?" he asked, in a hushed voice. Harman shook her head. "I can't tell, sir! and yet I think he was at the last.

If this action be- comes irregular the whole body suffers. Poor health follows poor blood; Scott's Emulsion makes the blood pure. One reason why SCOT DS EMULSION is such a great aid is because it passes so quickly into the blood. It is partly di- gested before it enters the stomach ; a double advan- tage in this. Less work for the stomach ; quicker and more direct benefits. To get the greatest amount of good with the least pos- sible effort is the desire of everyone in poor health. Scott's Emulsion does just that. A change for the better takes place even be- fore you expect it.

Guildford Berton drew a breath of re. lief. It passed very well for a sigh of sympathy and sorrow. "If I had only stayed!" he murmured, and he turned away and wiped Ms eyes. Then, a moment afterward, he was cool, self-possessed again. "Will you tell Lady Norah that I am here, Harman?" lut said. "Arm tell her, please, that 1 will see to everything that is necessary. If she would like to see Harman stole upstairs and into the silent room. Norah was kneeling be- side the bed, as she had been so often Lot the last few weeks. Her face, hidden in her hands, her body shaken by her sobs. Harman knell. beside her, and laid , her hand tenderly upon her arm. I "Don't -don't cry, deer mistress!" she: faltered. "And yet -it's Weal" I "If he had only told etc what he want ed to tell me!" dropped from Noma quivering lips. "Oh, what was it?

He will do everything, and tie says 11 you'd like to see littn—" A shudder ran through Norah, and she turned her white face to Harman with a sudden vehemence. "Nol" she panted. "No, nol" and he dropped back into her former attitude and hid her face, as if she could not en - dere even Harman's loving eyes. 1 Harman went downstairs, and found Guildford Berton pacing up and down the libraey. ..e will not see me?" he said, before she could speak. "Yes, yes. I can under. stand! Will you being inc some sealing wax and a candle, please. And tell Marston to go to the station with this telegram for Mr. Petherick. They will semi a before the postoMee people." stit. like a man in a dream, he sealed un the drawers In the bureau and the lock on the deed box, which had been brought from London and placed In iis usual position in the library. lie paused as he did so with a certain hesitation. Should he make a slight alteration In the will? But this hesitation only lasted e moment, and he affixed the seal without even opening the box with the duplicate key he had made. Hushed footsteps sounded in ghostly fashion over the vast place, and suddenly a sound smote Itis ear that made him siert and recoil. It was the big bell, which one of the old servants, in accor- dance with a custom of the house, had set tolling, to announce that the Super- fine Earl had passed away. In all proriaellity, of all the people who hod known him, of all the great world in which he had been so notable a figure, only lam persons shed a tear; the daughter, whose love he had persistently repulsed up to within the last few weeks of his life, and the serving woman, who wept moro for Norah than for him. There was not a laborer on the estate, not a groom In the stable, who would not have had more mourners than the night Honourable the Eurl of Arrowdale, Baron of Skeirig, Viscount Normanton, knight of the Iwo orders, and master at vast lands and gold. No work was done that day In Sant- leigh, and knots of villagers gathered ie High street, talking over the great man, who was wept less than the least of all the living. Before noon two carriages arrived at the Court -one contained Lady Ferndale. who had hastened without, a moment's delay to the side of MK beloved Norma; the other brought tho old lawyer, Mr. Petterick; and the same telegram which had summoned him had informed , the newspapers of the death of the I:nighty peer. nerd for the viscount -for the Earl el "I had Intended inserting an advertise- !

They were very unhappy -poor woman, poor woman! I see you have sealed up everything, Mr. Berton. You aro always thoughtful." "I thought it best," said Guildford Bele ton, gitavely. "I suppose you have the will?" • "No," replied Mr. PotherIck, shakin his heed. "No,I have not. I -I don't even know thatthere is a will; do you?"

Lady Ferndale had hastened to Noralas side, expecting to find her prostrated, but she found het calm and self-pos- sessed, looking as white as a Lilly, and worn out with weariness; but there was no passionate outburst of grief. That had spent itself beside the dead man, and her tears flowed quietly es she hid tier face on Lady Ferndale's bosom. "My poor darling!" murmured the elderewoman. "You must come to us directly after—" she could not bring herself to say the word "funeral," but Norah shook her head. "No, I must stay here till Lord Sant- leigh comes," she said. "There must be some one here Lo receive him, and tell him-leil him everything. Why does he nol come, Lady Ferndale?" "1-1 don't know," was all Lady Fern- dale could answer. "But he will be sure to arrive in a day or two; he must hear of it, and then he will come at once." Everybody said this when the strange delay in the apearance.of the new earl was discussed, but it was the topic of conversation throughout the country; but still the young man who had inheri- ted the title and lands of Arrowciale did not arrive to claim his birthright. No English newspaper reached the wild coast of Brittany where Cyril Burne, the artist, was at work painting drearily, and no tidings of the death of his uncle reached him. If Jack Wesley had been in London Ito would have known what had happened, and inform- ed Cyril, but Jaelc was in Brittany with his friend, and as he Look care that no letters or papers should bo permitted Itt mar his one holiday in the year, he was as ignorant as Cyril himself.

Ile had adverlisal for the missing viscount, and without any result, and he found himself In the position 01 00 executor acting In tater ignorance whether the heir were alive or dead. "Perhaps he is dead!" said -Guildford Berton, grimly, and Mr. Pealed° groaned. "No," he said. "t don't believe it. We should have heard of it. But to think that the funeral will have to take place without the new earl as chief mourner--" His feelings were too strong to permit him to finish the sen- tence. The day arrived, however, and the heir was still absent,. There was a vast crowd eit the funeral, and the salon was filled with distant connections and Mende, who came with varied expecta- tions to hear the will read. If she could have done so, Noralt would have shrunk trout this ordeal, but Lady Ferndale gently pointed out to her that, it must be endured, and. amid it dead silence, site led. her !Mc the crowd- ed room.

Then he proceeded to read the will. Many glances of curiosity and envy and suspicion had been cast at Guildford Berion's tall figure as he stood just be. hind Novell and Lady Ferndale, and when, after reading out the small be- queses, Ma Paltered( slowly recited the clause in which the earl bestowed his watch and chain -and nothing else -to his closest friend, Guildford Berton, a suppressed murmur of surprise and re- lief ran round the room.

There are many methods of curing farm meals, some very muclabotter lhatt others. According to the directions of the bureau of animal industry when tho Mad.

The meat will bo sweet and the flavor will he good. Pickled and cured meats are smoked to aid In their preservation and to give flavor and palatability. The creo- sote fumed by the combustion of the woad closes lite pores, to some extent excluding the air and Is objectionable 'a insects. Meal that is to be smoked should bo removed from the brine two or three days before being put, In the smoke- house. If it has been cured in a strong brine It will -be best to sonic the pieces In cold water over night to prevent crust of salt from forming on the opt - side when (teethed. Washing the meat in tepid water and scrubbing clean with a brush is a good practice. The pieces should then bo hung up to drain for a day or two. When drained they may id hung in the house. Ali should be sus- pended below the ventilators and should hang so that no two pieces conte in con- tact, es this would prevent unifyem smoking. A slaw fire may then he started, warm- ing up the meal gradually.
