ateee for an indefinite amount of iter

Miss I.o Merchant to marry you ?"
Byng brings his eyes, which have
been lifted In a sort of Trance to the coil
ing, down to the prosaic level of hf
mentor's severe and lighhilpped face,
"V1'hen you put it In That way," .lie
says, in on awed half -whisper, ' it does
seem an inconcelvabte audacity on my
part that 1, who but a fete days ago eves
crawling at her feet, should dare to
reach up to the heaven of her love,"
Burgoyne had known perfectly well
That It was coming; but yet, how touch
worse is it than he had expected?"
"Then you did ask her 1.0 ma'ry you?"
But Byng has apparently fled back on
the wings of fantasy into the ,Cl. woods
of Vallomblosa, for he makes no 00rleal
all0we0.
"She said yes?" asks Burgoyne, raM3-
ing his voice, as if rte, were addressing
some one deaf. "Am I to, understand
that she said yes?"
At the sound of that hard nnked query
the dreamer comes out of his enchanted
forest again.
I do not know what she said ; Ido
not think she said anything," he alis -
wets, murmuring the words laggingly;
while, as he goes on, the fire of his mad-
ness spires high In his flashing eyes.
"\Ve have got beyond speech, she and 1 1
\\'e have reached that region where
hearts and Intelligences meet without the
need of those vulgar go-betwoens-
words,"
There is a moment's pcuse, broken
only by the common -piece sound of an
electric bell rung by some Inmate Of the
hotel.
"And has errs. Le- Merchant reached
that region, too?" inquires Jim present-
ly with an irony he cannot restrain.
"Does she too understand without words,
oc have you been obliged, in her case,
1) employ those vulgar go-betweens?"
he mild, understand -she does -un-
doubtedly she does 1" cries Byng, whose
arllnkellnes5 shares with the 1n0re ordi-
nary' .kind the peculiarity of believing
whatever ile wishes to be not only probe-.
lee but inevitable. "Who could see tis
together and be in uncertainly for a
moment? And her mother has some' of
her fine instincts, her delicate intuitions;
not, of course, to the miraculous extent
that she possesses them. In her they
amount to genius 1"
"'No doubt, no doubt; but did you trust
entirely to Mrs. Le Merchant's instincts,
or did you broach the subject to her at
all? You must have had 11111e, plenty of
time, during that long delve home,"
"'Well, no," answers Byng slowly, and
with a slight diminution of radiance.
[ meant to have appronchett It ; I tried
le do so once or twice; but I thought I
fancied -probably it was only fancy -
that she wished to avoid it."
"To avoid it?"
"011, not in any offensive, obvious
way ; it was probably only in my iine-
ginalion that ,she shirked Il at all -and
1 did not make any great efforts. It was

Burgoyne has all the time hod his
Mashes in his hand, the brushes with
which he had been preparing himself for
his solitary dinner. He bangs them down
novo on the table. How can he pal a
period to the ravings of this maniac?
And yet not so maniac either. Whet
gives the sharpest point, to his present
suffering Is 1110 consciousness that he
would have made guile as good a loan -

'fills eonsIlousness instills a few drops
of angry patience Into his voice, as, dis-

chant yet?"
But the smile that Ilse memory -so
fresh, only halt an hour 010-01 Ellen -

lips still lingers There; and makes his
response drearily and vague,

a man who is saying what he himself
does not believe, "a part of your mother's
dislike to the idea.mny be In the fact of

he realizes that to him this Is almost as
incredible as to the young madman
whom he Is so pitilessly snubbing.
"But, however that may be, I think you
had better make up your mind to meet-
ing the most resolved opposition on the
part of your mother,"
"I believe you are right," replies Byng,
out of whose voice Ills kind mentor has
at last succeeded in momentarily con-
juring the exaltation. "Her prejudice
against them, against Iter, always filled
me with stupefaction. I never dared
trust myself to discuss it frith her; I
was afraid that II I did f might be led

"I never heard her give any reason

Coking on again its Inflection of confi-
dent, soaring triumph: "But it cannot
last -i1 is absolutely beyond the wildest
bounds of possibility that it can last!

As Burgoyne is conscious of not being
in a position to answer this question
with much satisfaction to himself, he
leaves 1t unanswered.

GERMANS TO RIVAL ISRITAIN?
hey are Jubilant Over Increase in
the Merchant Marine.
Lerman shipping and commercial Cir-
cles are in a fever of delight at the ex-
traordinary peogress which their ovar-
sea stripping has been recently making.
A few years more of such progress, they
say, and tint inia'ilim,0 supremacy of
telltale will begin to be called in ques-
tion,
Undoubledly the figures which are be-
ing published, it not alarming, afford
al any rate, food for serious reflection.
Take, for example, the Suez Canal. :n
1881 British shipping through the canal
was over 4,000,000 tons; in 1000 It had
risen to 8,500,000, or a. trine over 100
per cent. increase. In. 1882 German
shipping was 117,000 tons; in 1000, .2,-
141,000, an 11101'ease of about 1,700 per
cent ht 1802 England owned 81 per
cent. of all shipping passing through the
canal; to 1000 the percentage lied sunk
10 (13. In 1882, Germany owned only
2)4 Per cent, but in 10110 this had risen
to over 18 per cent.

Dairying is everywhere becoming more
popular and more profitable as we adopt
the improved methods and the improved
dairy machinery. The dairy progress
and improvement is greater than any

periment stations and extensive farm
dairies are developing remarkable in -

A sore teat (111e sore may be inside),
will cause a cow to kick, but if handled
gently she will be quiet and kind when

The best cure for a kicking eine is to
find why she kicks, then find tate remedy.
A cow will kick from a hart or a sud-

to succeed requires business brains.
Upon every farm where animals ere
kept for profit there should be a place
provided for sick animals.

pay Ilte cost of such a building.
Do not let the cows get hungry and
uneasy. Give them their ensilage and
grain and plenty of hay.

BiRISTLES.
The sows should be well fed up to the
time of farrowing on nitrogenous foods,
as wheat bran, middlings end oats.
At about Ilse time of farrowlug not so
much food should be given, and care
should be taken that each 5001' lois warm
q, ,dens and a good bed of short straw
or chaff.
c>
The food should be increased very
gradually to meet the needs of the suck -
lung pigs.
If 1110 sow eats her pigs give her some
omen(, and 5110 won't touch her pigs.
Reduce the grain. Feed her 0003, lightly
for several days.
A &rink of worm water, or a thin slop
on the 110y of farrowing, will be relished
by the sow.
rSmall oe weak pigs ran be nourished
on the Witte, containing warm cow's
nulls with a little sugar added.
Pigs showing signs of plumps should.
be stirred out of the nest.
Roots and vegetables, t0g
eliar w
ith
scraps from the house,should be given
to the hogs,
Clover stay and ensilage will be found
to be valuable as food given with the
grain to furnish bulk, and will tend to a
thrifty. condition.
Spring pigs must be kept growing.
Dont let them get off their feed, or
growth will be relor..ed. The experiment
stations are proving that pigs five to six,
months old can be made to weigh a
pound for every day of thelr lite.
Pigs intended for fattening should be
forced for growth early, and later given
foods rich in carbonaceous elements,
that will produce fat and fit them for
early ineriet.
When thoroughbred hogs are kept for
braiding purposes they should be given
every chance for growth rather than the
production of fat.
This can be realized by getting them
in the yard and pastures as early as
possible, unci by giving tine sows and
pigs succulent food and food of a nitro-
genous nature.
POULTRY NOTES.
A dust balls is to a hen what a shower
bath is to a man.
The successful poultrymen is the one
who profits by Its mistakes.
Put up the doors to the chicken coops
every night, to keep away rats and
other enemies.

the coops and keep them clean.
\\'hen you set a lien, sprinkle Some
fresh real ashes in 111e nest, They will
kill the lice ; old ashes will not.
Early hatched chicks will get a good
start before hot weather, and so be bet-
ter able to combat lice and disease.
For bowel trouble in young chicks
change their feed from meal to Moiled
rice for a few days, and give charcoal,
13y carefully selecting the early layers,

Do not sel hens in a cold place and ex-
pect the eggs 10 hatch. If they once be-
come chilled, it is "all day with them,"
CONDIMENTS FOR 11005.
Condiments must he provided for the
Wigs at all times. These are not costly.
They consist of wood ashes, soft coal
broken into small bits, mortar, rotten
wood or anything of that character.
hogs eat these readily end they are
greet aids in keeping them in 11001111
and consequently in growing rapidly and
fattening quickly. The menials must
have some stilt the same as other live
stock on the farm. Of course, every* bit
of swill, refuse, vegetables used in the
kitchen, etc., should be fed to the hogs,
