or set her regret down as one wholly
mercenary.
As she turned, she picked a brown
leaf --as dead as her past --and pushed
it gently inside the bosom of her dress;
then went on her way.
She had formed the vaguest of vague
plans only. First cane the idea of going
straight to Mr. Peiherick, and telling
hint all that she had learned from Guild-
ford Merton. After that—well, all was
dark and unfathomable.
Perhaps the old lawyer, who had al-
wa,;s been kind to he:, and especially
kind and gentle of late, would show her
some way of gaining a living. She
thought of Lady Ferndale, as she had
thought of her many times since the
revelation, but she shrank from going

Norah Woodfern, to do now with earls
and countesses. She must put all her
past life away from her completely.
No, she would not go to Lady Ferndale,
much as stie loved her, and knew she
was loved by her.
When she reached the high road she
looked round rather fearfully, Lhough
she felt That there yeas no tits° for fear.
If Guildford Berton had ch:nhed t0 come
upon her, she decided nett she would
not be daunted. if necessary, she would
call for help to the first passerby, and
would proclaim the truth to the whole
village.
But Guildford Berton was pacing up
and down his room, wrapped in an
ecstatic sense of triumph and self -satin»
faction at that moment, and she saw no
one but a few children on her way
through the village.
She found that she had to watt nearly

Noreles heart beat fiercely with IN
longing, the almost irrepressible long-

"Seoundiell"—anything to express her
indignation and teething. But she did
repress the desire, wonderful to say.
At that moment she felt the truth of
some of his words. She was alone and
helpless; she must not oven indulge in
the craving of her soul to denounce him.

PIG NOTES,
It Is better to raise eight gond pigs
than twelve inferior cries. There will he
more money in the former than in the
latter, though they outnumber them.
Quality is more important than quantity.
All troughs and feeding pens should
be kept scrupulously clean. Don't let
any food remain after they get through
with food in the trough. It sours,
moulds, and is unhealthy.
Be sure that pigs have a trough for
themselves that cannot be reached by
the mother or the other hogs. Il teceltea

classed. That's the business of the
Chatham Incubator and Brooder, and
they do it perfectly and successfully.

business for the amount of Clue and
