The dust and dirt had absolutely vanished; it might have boon the home of any ordinary wealthy and refined people. And ail Lady Littlmor's rags and patches had disappeared, She was dressed in somewhat old-fashioned style, but handsomely and well. She sat beside Littimer with a smile on her fano, But the cloud seemed to have rolled from her mind; her eyes were cies;, if a little frightened. From the glance that passed be- tween Littimor and herself it was easy to see that the misunderstand- ing was no more. You are surprised to see me here?" said Littimer. Hermon stammered something and shrank towards the door. Littimer ordered him back again. He caro, with a slinking, dogged air) he avoided the smiling contempt in Enid's eyes. "Siv presence appears to be super- fluous,'= he said, bitterly. "And mine appears to be a sur - prism". Littimer replied. "Como, are you not glad to see me, my heir and successor? What has biome of the old fawning, cringing smile? Why, if some of your future consti- tuents could see you now they might be justified in imagining that you had done something wrong. Look at yourself," Littimer indicated a long gilt mir- ror on the opposite wall. Henson glanced at it involuntarily and dropped his oyes. Could that abject, white-faced sneak be himself? Was that tho man whose fine presence and tender smile had charmed thou- sands? It seemed impossible. "What have I done?" he asked. ."What have you not done?" Litti- mer thundered. "In the first place you did your best to ruin Hatherley Bell's life. You robbed me of a pic- ture to do so, and your friend Mer- ritt tried to rob inc again. But I have both those pictures now. You did that because you were afraid of Deli -afraid lest Inc should see through your base motives. 'And you succeeded for a time, for the coast was clear. And then you pro- ceeded to rob loo of my son by one of the most contemptable tricks ever plasma by one man en another. It was you who stolethe money and the ring; you who brought about all that sorrow and trouble by means of a forgery. 13ut there are other peo- ple on your track as well as myself. You were at your last gasp. You were coming' to see me to sell the ring for a large sum to take you out of the country, and then you discovered that you hadn't really got the ring.'s "What -what are you talking about?" Reason asked. feebly. "Scoundrel!" Littimer cried. "In- noceut and puro to the last, I know all about Van Sneck and those for- geries of Prince Rupert's ring. And I know how Van Sneck was nearly done to death in Mr. Steel's house; and I know why -good heavens! It seems impossible that I could have been deceived all these years by such a slimy, treacherous scoundrel. And I might have gone on still but for a woman—"• "A lady detoctivet" Hanson sneer- ed. "Miss Lee." Littimer smiled. It was goocl, af- ter ell, to defeat and hookwink the rascal. "Miss Chris Henson," he said. "It never occurred to you that Miss Chris and Miss Lee were one and the same person. You never guessed. And she played with you as if you had been a child. How beautifully she exposed you over those pictures. Ali, you should have seen your face when you saw the stolen Rembrandt back again in its place. And after that you were mad enough to think that I trusted you, My dear,' what shall we do with this pretty fel- low?'' Lady Littimer shook her head doubtfully, It was plain that the presence of Benson disturbed her. There was just a suggestion of the old madness in her eyes. "Send him away," she said, "Let him go." Send him away by all means,'. Littimer wont on. "But letting him go is another matter. I1 we do the police will pick him up on other charges. 'There is a certain consola- tion in knowing that his evil career is likely to be shortened by some years. But I shall have no mercy. Scotland Yard shall know every- thing;" - There Was a cold ring 10 Littimcr's voice that told .Henson Of his deter- mination to carry out his threat, The other troubles he might wriggle out 01,.but this ono tva5 torr b y real. It was time to try couci la - tion. "It will be a terrible scandal or the family, my lord," he whined. Littimor rose to his feet. A sud- den anger flared into his eyes. Ho was a smaller man than Menson, but the latter cowed before him. "You dog!" 'Inc cried, "What greater emended than that of the past few years? Does not all the world know that there is, or has been, some heavy cloud over the family honor? Lord and Lady Lit - timer have parted, and her ladyship has gone away. That is only part of what the gossips have said. And in these domestics differences it is alwe ys the woman who suffers. Everybody always says that the woman has done some- thing wrong: Por years my wire has been under this 'stigma. If sho had chose to keep before the world after she left the most people would have ignored her. And you talk to mo of a family scandal!". "You will only make bad worse, my lord." "No," Littimer cried, "I am go- ing to make bad infinitely better. We come together again, but we say nothing of the past. And the world sneers and says the past is ignored for politic considerations. And so the public is going to know the truth, you dog. The whole facts of the case have gone to my solici- tor, and by this time to -morrow a warrant will bo issued against you. And I shall stand in open court and toll the whole world my story." "In fairness to Lady Littimer," said Enid, speaking for the first time, "you could do no less." "You were always against inc," Reason snarled. "'Because I always knew you," said Enid. "And the more I know of you the greater was my contempt. And you calve here ever on the same errand -money, money, money. From first to last you have robbed my aunt of something like 1170,000, And always by threats or the promise that you would some day restore the ring to the family.". ".As to the ring," Monson protest- ed, "1 swear—" "1 suppose •a lie more or less makes no difference to an expert like yourself," Enid went on, with cold contempt. "You took advantage of my aunt's misfortunes. Ah, she is a different woman since Lord Litti- mer came here. But her sorrow has crushed her down, and Chat forgery of the ring you dangled before her eyes deceived her." 'I never showed her the ring, Henson said, brazenly, "Anel you can look me in the face and say that? One night Lady Litti- mer snatched it from you and ran into the garden. You followed and struggled for the ring. And Mr. David Steel, who stood close by, felled you to the earth with a blow on the side of your hoacl. 1 wonder he didn't kill you. I should have clone so in his place. And yet ie would be a pity to hang anyone for your death. Seo lime!" Enid produced tho ring from her pocket. Lord Littimor looked at it intently. "Harve you seen this before, my dear?" ho asked his wife. "Many a time," Lady Littimer said, sadly, "Take it away, it re- minds mo of too many bitter mem- ories. Take it out of my sight." "An excellent forgery," Littimer murmured, "A forgery calculated to deceive many experts even. T will compare it with the original by-and- by.' Benson listened with a sinking feeling at Itis heart. Was it possible, he wondered, that Lord Littimer had really recovered the original? Ile had had hopes of getting it back even now, and making It the basis Of terms of surrender. Lady Litti- mcr snatched the ring from Litti- mer's grasp and threw it through the open window into the garden,. She stood up facing Henson, her head thrown back, her eyes flaming with a new resolution. It seemed hardly possible to believe that this fine, handsome woman with tiro white hair could be the poor dement- ed creature that the others once had known. "Reginald Henson, lieten to me," she cried, "Icor your own purpose you cruelly and deliberately set out to wreck the happiness of several lives For mare money you did this; for sheer love of dissipation you committed this crime. You nearly deprived Inc of my reason, 1 say nothing about the money, because thee is nothing' by comparison. But the years that are lost can never come back to me again. When I think of my past, the past of my poor, unhappy boy I feel that I have n0 forgiveness for you, If you. —Oh, go away; don't stay here- go. If I had known you were com- ing I should have forbidden you the house, Your mere presence unnerves me. Littimor; send him away." Littimer rose to his feet and rang the boll, ?'You will be good enough to rid me of your hateful presence,"- he said, "at once; now, go, Iiut Henson still stood irresolute, lie fidgeted from ono foot to the other, Ile seemed to have some trouble that he could find no ex- pression for. '1 want to go away!- he murmur- ed. ."I want to leave tho country, ll,ut at the present molnent I am practically penniless.

Now that the temperature of milk as it cones from the cow at 102 degrees until it guts chilled to 00 dor pious, is right to propagate (breed and grow) these "little foxes" that rapidly spoil the "grapes," or, ra- ther, the fruit of the dairyman's ef- forts. 11 the milker could milk on to an iced cope and receive the milk in the pail at 85 or 40 degrees, an e£ keep it so until sold, there would be no great grudge against the bacteria that fall into the pail under ordin- try ooudittons. The little scamps could not multiply. .But this is impossible. Wo milk in a contfortoble temperature of 60 to 90 degrees, and, unless great care is taken, (lustloaded with this ver- min, or drip from hands (if we milk wet handed), will fall into warm milk, and then the "yreast is in the dough," The temperature is right, and ton minutes, twenty minutes half an hour,, means generation upon gen- eration. And what of milk that is slowly cooling, for hours in some half -warm room or stable! Ugh! Wolf, what are we going to do? Are we not going to live up to the: light we have'? Our grnn¢hnttthers of blessed memory clic this. "Plies)"Plies)knew nothing of "gentle." but prac- tised scrubbing, scalding and sun- ning their pails, pans and churns. It was a day of clear consciences and hard muscles, Can modern 1miners and dairymen live without the ap- proval of conscience? Then what :hall we do but adopt every, cleanly method? In milking two must be prompt,' careful in straining time milk, and quick in cooling it over iced cones or other cold surfaces or in cold water, stirring both the milk and water until the milk is "dead cold." Mr. Atkinson thinks so much or his family that he keeps his own cow midi sees that the milk con- sumed is right. First., he is very careful to have the milk drawl). from the cow in a cleanly manner. ,lack Robinson curries her, washes her udder, teats and flank, wiping them bre with a clean cloth; then he scrubs his hands, cleaning his finger nails with soap and brush; next Inc leads the cow into a separate room. where dust cannot penetrate; no hay and e'traw, and a Moist flim'; well ventilated, with good light.

Pine mills is only honest inilk, and it is not honest unless pure. 011, the couutlese thousands in cities Who never know freedom, broad Ilcbds, height skins, glorious sunsets! They have a right to pure milk, and to the butter, cream and cheese made from it, Lastly, the paY for a sweet, gond atticle is better. And part of this extra compensation is the complac- ency of a0 honest heart. CURING PORK. There is no excuse for any fanner being without the very best of bacon and hare, as tho proems of curing it is neither expensive nor complex, says Tho Homestead, To begin with, tie trams should be cut tap and trimmed so that no looso pieces or meat will remain attached.

Have you not had enough - aro you never satisfied? Williams, will you see Mr. Ronson off the premises?' The smiling Williams bowed low. "With the greatest possible pleas- ure, my lord," he said, "Any furth- er orders, my lord?". "And ho is not to comp hero again, you uderstancl." Williams seemed to understand per- fectly. With ono backward sullen glance Monson quitted the room and passed into the night with his com- panion. Williams was whistling Cheerfully, with his 110065 thrust' deep into his pockets. "Is that how you treat a gentle- man?" Henson demanded. "1 ain't a gentiernah," Williams said. "Never sot up to bo, And 1 ain't a dirty reseal who ha,s just been kicked out of a nobleman's house. Here, stop that. Try that game on again and I'll call the dogs.' And don't show any of your airs, please. I'm only a servant, but 1 am an honest man."' Monson stifled his anger as best he could, He was too miserable and downcast to think of much besides himself at present, Once the lodge- ga.toe were. open Williams stood aside for hint to pass. The temptation Was irresistible. And 1tenson's back WAS turned. With a kick of cotton- tested contempt aid fury Williams. shot Benson into the road, where ho landed furi on his face, 7lis cup of humiliation was eoinplbto, ,(To, be Continued.) . reason for this will be obvious when It Is pointed 0111 that limo linins usu- ally require a longer ti nte fu this pickle to cure than the sides and shoulder's, Put a layer of *wilt in tho barrel and rub each piece well With stilt on the flesh side and at the slain, them pack closely in a barrel and let alone for time days, when it is lifted and again resulted In new, clean stilt, The first salting will have removed all the blood at- techt'd to tho meat, which if left 011 will induce a little taint.

Have be- come cured sufficiently to keep in 110 weather. If in doubt about this, however, it would be a good plan to cut into the centre of one ham. and try theist by frying a mess of moat. It should have sufficient salt to keep in. waren weather ant] should not be so salted as to necessitate parboiling to snake it palatable. Par- boiling removes all the gond taste from meal. When removed from. tlio brine it should be hung and allowed to drip a day or two, when it can be treated with a coating of black popper and then it is ready for !smoking and putting away for the summer. Tlfe best way to pack pieces for curing is to 'roll them into rolls and pack them in a cask, standing the rolls on end. When such pieces are 'treated to sugar -cure fickle they make what is known as breakfast bacon. All barrels anal caaki should be made clean and sweet or the meat will have a rusty lade. They should also be watched closely about leak- age. Sour meat is caused by leak- age And when the meat has liecome exposed to stir. When pieces aro smoked they can be wrapped in paper and each piece put ina mus- lin sack anti lunig in a a'aric, cool place. Iiri't``$.

England is the only country in which the public have not to pay for their members, for, although the members of the German Reichstag are not salaried,. yet they can travel free on all tho State railways. The French deputies cost the most, for each of them re- ceives $1,800 a year, besides .a free pass on the railways. In Belgium the deputies got $800, in Holland $865, and In Greece 5400, Swiss dopiities are paid $4 a day while Parliament is sitting, and the Nor- wegians get about 53,87 all the year round. r_ "MARRIAGE, MONI')Y."

No Cash to Pay Until Call, 1905, are the Best Months to Make Money Raising Chickens Chicks hatched then grow more rapidly and require less care than at any time of year, and the knack of running the business successfully is acquired under the most favorable ciroumstances. One good May or June hatching will bring out a brood of chicles that sell about October lst for enough to pay for an Incubator and another batoh eau then be started that will eeet the chicks out in time for the Christmas market, The next batch will be ready for the 14Iarch and April market, "broilers" commanding tho very highest market prices. A good Incubator is the foundation of real: succuss in poultry raising, bringing the whole matber from guess- work to cute lily. We furnish you with a on easy terms. No cash to pay until November, 1905. By that tiine it sllonld have paid for itself. Nothing else raised on a farm pays like this, and the beauty of it all is that the women folks or children can easily attend to the very small amount of work there is to be done. Half an hour or so a day is all the time required. Getting the.right Incubator is pretty nearly the whole thing. The Chatham is the safest and surest Incubator made. It does the trick ; 100 per cent. hatches every time if the eggs are fertile.
