Her mind was. thisy oviewing the meeting with her father. Could Eileen have overheard them? She looked up anxiously. But Elleen's facie WaS a mask. "Yes—if you had wished me to do se," she murmured. "I should not have rushed off by myself at all events, in case—in case YOU felt, lonely." She etammered somewhat., for the weeds the spoke shtick her as being rideculthe from her to Eileen. Conn - non, however, had lamed her tongue, and made her say what at any other time she would have held back. But Eileen was in a gentle mood, and therefore 'Weaned nom showing her eabitual disdain. She smiled, and turn- ing towardthe terrace, exclaimed brightly.— "That MIS Mee of you, Sunbeam. For we are not, the best of friends as a rule. And I do not deserve much consideration from you. aut, we will forget all disa- greeables and •be !enrols, that is if you are willing." Sunbeam flushed hotly. Her generous heart expanded to the touch of sympa- thy; in that 'element she forgot all Eileen's past unkinthesses and was reaey to forgive at once. "Of °purse I am she ejaculated. "I always wanted that from the first, I think, because--" She paused, intimidated by Eileen's leughnet, questioning eyes. "Because what, Sunbeam?" "Benuee—you belong to Mr. Sinclair —and he hes always been so good to me I owe him more than I can tell." "fleetly 7' el:defined Eileen, her Moe growing grave, "I don't think he has done Aimee for you than any one could hew done—more than he would do for any girl he found in trouble.

Sunbeam colored Vividly. Eileen's tone immInded her of their past encoun- ters. Besidn, she had certainly not said enough to justify such an elaborate re- ply. "No one had ever been angry with Inc before—except once," she faltered, "and I could not understand your being $o. You ere so beautiful that I wanted you le like me, more for that than for any other mason, I think." Eileen laughed. "Thank you, Sunbeam I You are a graceful flatterer! 13u7 has it not oc- curred M you that your own prettiness iu en make other girls dislike you?" ',Oh, Miss Riviera not you, at all estels. I cannot believe that 1" "And you are right. Nor will we fry ti solve the mystery of the sudden wave of dislike that surged between us. For we arc going to be friends," repealed Eileen, laying her hand on Sunbeam's arm and leading her into the house. "Now I am going back to my room to rest," she eontinued, "but we shall net at dinner thee. I feel that the worst of . nw attack is over and shall be able te resume my chilies as hostess to-reght, thanks to the walk and your cheering compeny," • Still wondering et her changed man- • ner, Sunbeam left her at the top of the shine end went to her own room. She was glad to be alone. Foy she wanted • to think over the meeting with her father and Eileen's words. 13011 had behaved so differently to what she had expected. She was pleased emit Eilmn had offer- ed to be friends, but she could not under - stilled why she had done so. As for her father, his behaviour was evea more in- explicable. Why had he changed Ids mind and called her back to tell her so? ,And did he mean to leave her alone after al!? Or, now ho had discovered her hid- ing -place, would he try to get her to go back to him? Besides, now his anger Against her had vanished, and he no longer wished her to marry Gentleman Dan—wasn't it her duty ea go to Jilin and Aunt flinty? She paced the room with a mikes step, What could she do? Sim did not eeeint to go back.

She dressed for tim evening in the sim- ple dinner gown Lady Cruse had given her, and looked at !tenni thoughtfully in the long glass.

The color flooded her sweet face as she [bought of Lim, and she caught her hands to her breast, murmuring— ."And I love Ithn I !leaven, how I lave him 1" Then, shocked at the words, slie cover- ed her lips with her lingers, and turned away froin her blushing reflection. Movements ea 'the landing without made her conclude that the pleasure - Makers had returned earlier than they iuMnded, and she opened her door in- tent on seeking Lady Cruse.

Receiving no 'Answer, she turned the handle and entered, No one was there. Sho walked throes the room timidly and knocked at the dressing -room door, which stood open. Then drew back with a low cry of horror. For her ryes had fallen on the crouching figure of her father. He had lied to hey and entered the house after all 7' For a second or so terror kept her then her anger broke the spell, and la a low voice Sha exclaimed— "Father, you promised not 10, you said you would go away, and—" He sprang towards her, his face full of warning.

When potatoes are be- ing fed instead of roots they should be cautiously introduced and every care token that no introduced animal gels more than twelve or wourteen pounds a day, but this quantity may be gradu- ally inereased up to six or eight pounds in fan, the liters may be used almost as freely aS swedes or mangle when the cattle have become quite accustom - M them. l'Im extensive grower, rt course, provides for the conthuntion of bis unsaleable potatoes, but what of the man who lois a plethora 01 11111008 who keeps reither pigs nor Cows, and, per- clianc,e has only 't horso or two? May they be given to horses with safety or advantage? Certainly. Potatoes are not an ideal food for horses that have to work hard or at a fast pace, but ju- diciously fed they are very useful and should by no means be wasted. In considering potatoes as an ,mlicle of food for horses, Prof. Low saysthat fifteen .pounds of potatoes yield as 1110011 nourishment as four and pile:hell pounds of eats; Von Thayer asserts that three bushels of potatoes are equal to one hundred and twelve pounds of hay; Mr. Curwen, who tried potatoes extensively in the Menet* of horses, says that an acre gees as lev as four acres of hay.

NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR CRAIN. The worst fen:eve about them is that raw potatoes in any quantity nlax the bowels too much, the horse coming perilously neaci to scouring, end that unlese speciai convenience exists or the quantity to be dealt win is large, it does not pay to cook them.
