CHAPTER XII.
At their parting the red rose from
her hair became the red roe° at his
heart, Thinking of the Liget to COMO
he slaked far it with a look, and it
Was yielded with swift eubtlety of
eoinprehension that was almost more
- than hall aeticipation. To Hector
the rose was the bringer of on
finituee of unforgettable messages.
Lying beside the silver crucifix, that
Was also bee gift, it whispered to
him in thrills softer than its own
petals: opening its gold heart as
Maddasenees had opened, beating as
• Maddelenees heel beat. It breathed
absolution of his madness: nay, it did
more—it became their sign of part-
nership in the divine folly.
Yet not wren the maiden fragrance
of the rose that lead been bettered by ;
the warin night of her hair, nor the !
siren lerite of his awakened blood,
could drowse remembrance of Asun-
tees laughter, sounding from a lat-
tice above tum and Ms Queen at
farewell. Palm to pelin tell more
than lip to lip, and they were palm
to palm when Asunta, looking down,
saw fresh significance in the unusual
net. For his life Hector could not
desecrate the new understanding by
kiseing• efarldalena's hand as a sub-
ject Minuet fly nature somewhat ol
a poet, he could, when not moved
strongly, memo guises at will, and
at any othet nionient that this he
could bete played the sterna: but
0. certain restraining nettle came of
their equality in love—he Wes mov-
ing now on the same clime as Madda-
lena, together their young feet trod
the clottds, and he was not the one
to debase exaltation by trifling with
irksome subterfuge.
Palm to palm they bade farewell,
and common words drew deeper
meaning front the eimple act, ere -
while ;mused.
"Coodafightl Gooda.ye!" said he.
"Good-nightand good -night!"
said she.
The hope that shone in her deter -
mutation not to say good-bye light-
ened On his eyes, and yet again he
gave goodaeight.
Asunta was no fool. She had an
emotional intelligence keenly appreci-
ative of inflections, intonations, all
differences and changes of voice or
look. And her nerves strung in a.
moment to breaking pitch, recognized
a ne,w not in rector's voice, e. new
note in Maddinena's—in hers Borne -
thing of fuller trust, something of
lineering protection In his, and in
both tbat Indescribable lingering cad-
ence which graces the lover's Meet ut-
terance with the melody of the morn-
ing stars. Resentment fell on her
taut nerves as a knife may tall ou a.
stretched fiddle steing, and the sound
made in her by the living ends was
leughter—laugliter, derisive, ironical,
contemptuous, spiteful, revengeful
She trembled as a woman trembles

passion: With cleaving of the tongue
to the nionth's roof, with parching
thirst, with hurrying ripples of heat
and cold, with joints turning to 'wa-
ter. She clutched tha lattice ledge,
anti lettehed.
Amnia,. had told Hector that she
hated Inin. There she had lied, She !
had, indeed, hoped that nesumption
of hate might win hint where open
love could not, im a hitter may snare

hated him In some degree because he

After tbe land has been thoroughly
prepared, seed , with a drill, using
about it bushels of good, clean seed
to the acre. Rye is a hardy crop,
and it can bc sown quite early, with-
out much danger of serious injury
from frosts. Of course, it Is well
to let the ground become pretty dry
and warm before putting in the seed.
It will then get a good start and
make rapid growth.
For pasture, spring rye is especial-
ly valuable for hogs and cattle. Af-

The divisions are best boarded, and
all racks or feed troughs should ha

TILLAGE FOR ORCHARDS,
As a matter of practice the soil

tillage beelike it up and makes It

"We have come," eaid Professor
Croolees not long age, "to the bor-
derland where force and matter merge
Into each, other."
According to the theory held by
these advanced chemists, it is not
radium itself that causes the strange
phenomena that occur in the presence
of that element, but, these phenomena
are due to what the chemist% cell
the "raello-activity" of the melanin°.
When radium is obtained the element
gives off rapidly a gas, Which, it Is
believed, is argon, or a number of
gases belonging to the argon weep.
