Nancy turned to look at her lov-
er.
"Like hind?" she said, slowly, "I
detest him !"
Darnley heaved a sigh of relief,
"Poor fellow 1" he said, with al-
most a feeling of pity for his rival.
"Poor, with all that money
"I wish it were mine," Nancy."
"Do you " she said, gently.
"Why'?"
"That I might lavish it on you,
dear one. Nancy, do you know I
am a poor man?—that I have only
a few hundred pounds that .I can
call my own.'"
"And I—have nothing." ] She
smiled, (then growing grave, she
went on hurriedly. 'Don't!—oh,
don't talk to me like this! Do
you think that all the money in the
world could make you dearer to
me ? No, no. I am glad you are
poor. We shall work together. Sir
Humphrey has told me all about
your wonderful talent. You will
rise ill the days to come. You will
take your rank among the cele-
brated barristers of the day, and I
—I shall be so proud of you !"
Her eyes flashed with imaginary
triumph, : and her cheeks glowed.
The band struck up again at that
instant, and, with a. passionate look
into her eyes Darnley took her in
his arms and they glided away.
Mrs. Darnley had sat very still
and cold as her son left her; her
encounter with Dorothy had awak-
ened into life every particle of the
heavy, revengeful temper she pos-
sessed.
Accustomed to rule with the sway
of a.queen, she resented Miss Lei-
cester's almost arrogant independ-
ence, and,
ndepend-ence,'and, with a strange injustice,
it was on Nancy Hamilton she vent-
ed the most of her anger, 'as being
the immediate cause of the dispute
between her niece and herself.
It, infuriated her to see the suc-
cess that this upstart girl undoubt-
edly made, and she felt inclined to
rise and stalk off with Lord Mere -
field, when he went to get conso-
lation from Nancy. But even this
feeling was as nothing compared
to her disgust and anger as she saw
her son go direct to that corner,
and watched his face change as he
gazed at the piquant, picturesque
one beside him.
Her mother's heart at once took
alarm.
She was indescribably proud of
Derrick; he was, and had been, ev-
erything her son should be; his fu-
ture was the one matter on which
she permitted herself to indulge in
any feminine weakness; and that
he should not only aid Dorothy Lei-
cester in her foolishness, but find
such apparent pleasure in this Ham-
ilton girl's society, was a perplex -
Ing and terrible revelation.
At this moment Sir Humphrey
came up to her.
"Anne," he said, genially, "Mr.
Thomas Moss Crawshaw requests
the pleasure of an introduction."
Mrs. Darnley frowned. She felt
in no mood to submit to the indig-
nity of meeting this parvenu, but
there was no help for it.
Sir Humphrey passed on, and Mr.
Crawshaw was left standiing be-
side her chair, with an expression
on his swarthy face which vaguely
puzzled her.
Perhaps her intuition, that mar-
vellous gift all women possess,
warned her that this man might
serve her in some way ; at any rate,
she moved her dress.
"Will you not sit :down?" she
said, coldly, yet not ungraciously.;
Thomas Crawshaw took the chair
and sat in it uneasily; his new po-
sition had done very little to rub
off the edge of his common ways
and manners.
It was not for mere fancy that
he had commanded rather than ask-
ed his hast to present him to this
lady.
He had noticed her very fixed
stare at Nancy, and his quiet ears
had caught a few words, as Doro-
thy had poured out her vexation
about her aunt's unkind and un-
just remarks into, Lord Merefiold's
ready ears just a few minutes pre-
vious. Sharp and cunning as a
ferret, Crawshaw saw in Mrs.
Darnley a willing end useful work-
er in a little scheme ,which he, had
bean planninz since he had witness-
ed that love scene down by the
lower lake.
"She won't stick at a trifle if I
got her on the right track," he
said to himself, as he glanced at
Mrs. Darnley's haughty, handsome
face.
Derrick's mettles waited for her
now acquaintance to speak first;
and Cirawshaw teas soslow to be-
gin, that she, made a plunge into

Crawshaw smiled curiously.
'
"Well, that's perhaps a good
thing, seeing as he's likely to make
a fool of himself in that quarter,"
with a comprehensive nod of the
head at Nancy's figure.
Mrs. Darnley started, her fan
slipped from her fingers and fell to
the ground. She was pale to the
lips as Orawshaw stooped and hand-
ed -her her fan.
"Not but what she is pretty
enough," he went on, quietly; "he
might do worse."
"Sir !" began Mrs. Darnley,
trembling with anger.
Mr. Crenshaw shrugged his
shoulders.
"I beg your pardon, I am sure ,"
he said, with a sneer. "I only
judged by appearance, and if that
doesn't look like a case of lovers—
well, I'm a Dutchman, that is all 1"
Mrs. Darnley closed her hand so
suddenly on her fan that the de-
licate tortoise shell snapped in two.
"You are mistaken, " she said
again, in a choked sort of way.
"I think not," replied the other,
laconically. "Your son is evidently
madly in love with this girl, "who
comes from nowhere, and gives her-
self'the airs of a queen"—there was
an ugly look on' Mr. Crawshaw's
face and his lips twitched nervous-
ly—"but"—he paused, and Mrs.
Darnley's cold gray eyes met his
black ones—"but between being in
love and marrying there is a vast
deal of difference, you know."
Mrs. Darnley moistened her lips;
she felt if she had a dagger in her
hand at that moment that she could
have willingly struck it into poor
Nancy's great, loving heart. She
was maddened to think that this
girl, whom she already allowed hers'
self to hate so' unjustly, should dare
to permit Derrick to so abase him-
self as to love her.
Crawshaw took a long, slow gaze
at Nancy's sweet face blushing be-
neath her lover's eyes ; the sight
made his fierce jealousy . and re-
vengeful passion burn still more
furiously. He had long vowed to
be even with this girl; he had an
old sore to settle up, and 'the bit-
ter anger he had experienced this
afternoon as he had watched Nancy
turn to her lover as the flower turns
to the sun, and heard her soft,
earnest vow of love, had stirred
his mean spirit to its uttermust
depths. And when he had steed
alone by the lake, he had vowed
to himself that he would blot Jut
her happiness and bring her' to alis
feet as surely as he lived.
He drew his eyes suddenly from
that window in. the corner.
"You will never consent to the
marriage1"' he asked, abruptly.
"Never 1" said Mrs. Darnley, for-
getting her dignity in her appre-
hension; "I would sooner die
first l"
"Then they must be separated, if
it is as I suspect."
Crawshaw dropped his voice.
Mrs. Darnley's cheeks flushed.
"If it is as you suspect they shall
be separated. "
"Come with me," he said.
Crawshaw rose suddenly.
Mrs. Darnley, carried away by
his vehemence, rose, too.
"I will give you proof that what
I say is true."
Not until they had passed out of
the hot room did Mrs. Darnley
question him, but as the cool night
breeze met her , she suddenly awoke
to the fact that this strange, ple-
beian man was controlling ' her in
a most decided and unpleasant
fashion, and, moreover, that he was
acting in an altogether unorthodox
manner . which required saint: expla-

"I am. leading you to the terrace
beneath that window, where you

tion with this Nanny Hamilton."
Mrs, Darnley shuddered slightly.
She had no heart, but she had a
sense of honor.
"Do you want to see her your
son's wile?" asked Crawshaw; fix-
ing her with his brilliant black
eyes.
"You know I do not," broke from
the mother's lips.

But, oh ! how tired Tam ! yawned
Dorothy, when the last carriage had
rolled away. "Nancy, you look as
fresh as though you had just got
out of bed."
They were all assembled in the
hall, Sir Humphrey, with old-fash-
ioned gallantry, insistiug on light-
ing the candles himself, and escort-
ing his fair guests to their cham-
ber doors.
Nancy received has good -night

RECORD I'OR 1910.
1810 a Year of Steady Progress and
Expansion.
The past year's business of the
Standard Bank as disclosed in the
38th annual statement show this
Institution to be making continued
and steady progress. During the
year eight new branches were
opened in Ontario and a corre-
sponding number in the Western
Provinces, making a total of 98 of-
fices in the Dominion. The net pro-
fits amounted to $373,208.25 after
allowing for all charges, which'
figures out on the basis of 18.66
per cent. on the paid up capital,
and which added to the balance
carried over from 1909, .makes a
total of $427,282.48, which was dis-
posed of as follows:— Dividend's,
$240,000 (12 per Dent.); Officers'
Pension Fund, $7,500; Written -off
Premiums, $25,000; added to Re-
serve Fund, $100,000; to Profit and
Loss Account, $54,782.48.
The general statement shows :
could she have been so foolish, now
that she was separated from him
and a long night stretched be-
tween. their next meeting ; her heart
suddenly yearned for him; she felt.
that she had not half expressed
her love, that she had not half told
him how happy, how indescribably°
happy he had made her.
Her heart thrilled with a thou-
sand tender impulses—pride—gra-
titude—amazement—all melted in-
to an'ectasy of passionate love.
Alone with that quiet night, the
silent stars, the great blue realm
that stretched above her, the girl
suddenly realized the fulness of this
joy that had come to her—her eyes
were opened, and she knew how
sweet a thing life was when love
overshadowed it.
Now, so much was explained, her
interest—her eagerness to hear his
name on other's lips, the indescrib-
ablepleasure his presence brought,
the vague sensation his frank, man-
ly tones had awakened in her
breast; she knew them all now—
the veil had fallen, she saw into
her very heart of hearts, and knew
that Derrick Darnley had not grown
suddenly her king, but had crept
slowly and surely into her life, there
to remain and be treasured for
ever.
Still and more silent grew the
hour.
Away in the far distance came
the misty dawn; the moon's pale
rays sank slowly before it; her sum-
mer reign is ever short.
"t'i,. sense of heavy harmonies
Grows on the growth of patient
night,
More sweet than shapen music is."
This unfathomable melody touch
ed the girl's full heart.
"I cannot sleep," she murmured
to herself, and, throwing a shawl
over her shoulders, she went out
onto her balcony to watch the birth
of the coming day,
"Will it be as beautiful as yes-
terday?" she thought, wistfully, to
herself. Already the canker of fear
was creepinginto her paradise, it
could eat last,this sudden happi-
ness, she told herself; no, it was
too wonderful—boo beautiful.

PROVIDE THE DUST BATH.
The setting hen should be provid-

she can dust herself each day when
she comassoff the nest.- If provid-
ed with a proper place' and right
material shewill generally keep
herself free from lice, but if she
does not do so, she ought to be
dusted at least once a week with
insect powder. After all the chicks
are out of the shells, the hen should
be dusted again for fear of lice up-
on the chicks. The dust left on the
hen's feathers will cause the lice
on the chicks to die or move. away.

Here's a Horns Y

Can Use.
Nla'laN.es4's>wesYH~ NOME DYEING has
FROM COW TO CALF.
In order to make a good dairy
cow wemust start with the calf of
some good dairy type. The care
that the calf or any farm animal for
that matter gets for the first few
months will largely determinethe
quality of the adult animal. Giving
the calf a good, strong, healthy
start is one of the prime essenti-
als of success in growing it, writes
Mr. H. H. Shephard.
The calf need not be kept rolling
fat, but it should be kept thriftily
growing from start to finish.
Except for beet production with
tmhefik. beef type, it is best to raise
the calf by hand method. When it
is a day or two old take it away
from its dam and teach it to drink
For the first feed take some warm
milk fresh from the cow and place
some with the hand on the calf's
mouth. It will lick this with its
tongue and, of course, find thatit
is good. Then place the pail to its
mouth so that the warm milk will
touch its lips.
Be patient for the first time. It
will require several minutes and
possibly' nearly an hour,but when
once it learns what is in the pail
and how to take the food there will
be no further trouble in urging it to
eat. '
It may be necessary the first two
times for you to wet two fingers
with milk and allow the calf to suck
up the milk with the hand partly
immersed an the liquid.
Feed wholemilk warm from the
cow for t two weeks, and then
graduallyiilstitute skim milk for
the•:'whole till at the end of the
Kurth week nothing but skim milk
ik given.
Always warm the milk, as it is
most natural for the young animal
and demands less energy from the
digestive organs.
After the third month the calf will
begin to want extra water, and
some may be mixed with the milk.
The calf at this age should be al-
lowed access to drinking water
every day. At the end of four
months milk may be withheld and
other feeds substituted, as the .calf
will then begin to nibble on hay and
other feeds.
From this . stage on place some
fine well cured and preserved . hay
where it can reach it. When iiris
six weeks old give it a handful of
shelled corn, or plane cornmeal in
the milk feed.
Skim milk contains all the neces-
sary elements for animal growth,
the removed steam furnishing only
material for fat and heat. Since
the cream has been removed it is
well to supply, the equivalent ma-
terial in a cheaper form.

aceous matter, similar in .eompani-
son to that of cream, asd there is
no feed that a calf likes so -well as
shelled corn or cornmeal.
Cream is worth twenty- to thirty
•
cents a pound, while corn is worth
only about a cent a pound, hence
the economy of its use. If corn-
meal is fed with the milk it should
not be stirred much, but allowed to
settle at the bottom of the pail so
that it will have to be eaten rather
than swallowed with he milk.
We have found by experience that
whole shelled corn is as good as the
meal and that the calf can and will
eat it very readily. One value of the
whole corn over the meal is that it
develops the chewing power of the
young animal, which is of great be-
nefit to any animal, since the finer
the food can be chewed the finer it
can be digested. -
Corn will give all the elements for
fat and heat to meetthe young
growing needs.
-While milk is being fed there is
no need of furnishing the calf any
nitrogenous feeds, but- after the
milk is no longer given wheat, bran
and oats will furnish elements for
flesh and other nitrogenous growth.
Clean clover hay or alfalfa are
excellent at this time to form a
well balanced ration, but, of course,
a variety should be given ata
times.
The calf, too, likes salt as wet
'as older cows, although a. smal
amount is necessary.
Tho. hand fed calf intended for
dairy purposes can be made a mus
better animal than the one allow
ed to feed from the cow in the na
tural way.
The main reason for this is that
through eating heavier and coarse
food its 'digestive organs are en
larged and strengthened.
Other things being equal, the ca
pacify for digestion of a dairy cow
represents her milk producing pow-
er. With' large, strong'digestiv
organs she is liable to assimilat
much food and transform it in
more valuable food, milk and but
ter fat.

A soldier of the Fore'ign L'sg ea
learns to know the meaning,of sev-
ere discipline, declptos Edwin Boss -
en, who served ad a member of
that order for several years. It is
always being drummed lnto•tbay, leg-
ionary that ha is intended fan' no-
thing else in this world except for
marching. His task in life is to
march. The greatest crime he can
commit is to fail on the march, re
"Being practical" was the ad-
ing principle of the whole training.
Each man knew the length of hie
required
steps, and knew that he iequ ii
one hundred and seventeen or one
hundred and twenty as' one hundred
and twenty-fiyo steps to walk one
hundred meters, One had the feel-
ing of working for a sporting com-
petition.
Marching always begins in the
early hours after midnight. It then
goes on uninterruptedly, with the
hourly halts for rest of five min-
utes until the task has been sons -
plated. Be the distance ever so
great, it is covered in one march.
The legionary carries a rifle and
a bayonet, two hundred to four
hundred cartridges, cartridge -
pouch and knapsack, and the
sac." This knapsack is made of
black varnished canvas, with a
unique system of straps, and has
hardly any weight of its own. On
the march it oontains two complete
uniforms, the legionary's linen and
polishing cloths, partly in the in-
side and partly . in "ballots," in,
carefully prescribed bundles. Tent
canvas and blanket encircle the
knapsack in a long roll. Tho col-
lapsible tent sticks are stuck in at
the side. On the top is fastened
the "gamelle" and fuel for the
bivouac fire. In addition, each man
also carries one of the saucepans
of the company or pioneers' im-
plements. Knapsack, rifle and
equipment altogether weigh almost
fifty kilograms; no soldier of aay
other army carries such a load.
The marches. are regulated by the
one principle: march . as you like,
with brooked back or toes turned
in, if you think that better, but
march.
If the pangs of hunger are know
ing at his stomach or thirst parches
his tongue, that is so much the
worse for the soldier, but it is no
sorb of a reason for his not march-
ing on. He may be tired, dead
tired, completely exhausted, hut
he must not stop marching. If his
feet are' bleeding and the soles
burning like fire, that is very sad,
but the marching pace must not
be slackened. The sun may arra
till his senses are all awhirl; he
must go on.
There is no such thing as an im-
possible marching performan a for
the regiment of foreigners. Feels
is inoculated with the
one idea—that he has to march as
long as he can control his legs, and
when he can no longer rostral
them he must at.least try to crawl.

TILE DIERRY MUMMY.
People Are Concerned Over Gift
to British Museum.
Believers in the supernatural are
rather 'concerned in their minds at
the moment regarding a mummy
which' is included in the Assyrian
and Egyptian antiquities bequeath-
ed to the British Museum by Lady
Meux, The mummy is that of :Neo-
Alnsu, who died about 2,260 years
ago but does not seem to be able to
rest comfortably unless he is doing
somebody a had turn. Neo first
came into the possession of the late
Mr. Walter Ingram, who bought it
