said, atter a moment's silence. .find
then he glanced up at the girl's files,
and there was something in its moist-

"Suppose you do read to me for a

deuly. "Look here, you may try
this article ; but sit down, Letty,
sit down," he exclaimed quickly ;
for in her humility, after be had
given her the paper, she showed no
intention 00 taking a chair;
So she sat down and began to
read. He had expected her perform-
auco to he a very poor and bungling
one, but to his surprise it was not ;
she read in a low, sweet voice, ac-
curately and intelligently.
"That is very good—very gObd in-

had finished the article he had point -Everyone

chiefly to the evidence 01 nervous

have never yet seen a good dairy
cow that did not give evidence' of vi-�
tality and nerve and 'physical force

will be correspondingly inclined to

udder and well developed mammary
veins and a good circulatory system,
Any' developed tow that produces
well is certain to give evidence of it
in these chief cheractoristics. A. num-
bee of other features enter in for
minor consideration only.
In the ring which was the subject
of the most controversy,it was the
cow with distinct and pronounced
type that won This cow was
a little under size, but criticism
practically ended there and the un-
der size was more apparent than real
owing to her standing. on remarkablykinds
strong legs. Slro had decidedly the
best udder and the most clean cut
dairy type of any colo in the ring,
It was said that she was beefy, but
she was not. On the contrary, she
was freer from a totldexu, toward
coarseness and surplus flesh than any
of her rivals. Tito cola that won
first in 11)0 two-year-old ring, and
was subsequently awarded the
championship ,aver all ages, more
nearly approached this type than
any other animal in the show. I
believe that both decisions were cor-
rect, although it is unusual to place
a heifer over a mature cow. The
heifer was placed at the head of her
class by a unanimous verdict of the
judges. She was awarded champion -
ship by the vote of two members of
a committee of three, the other vote
being cast for the cow that won first
in the aged ring.' T am inclined to
think that there ryas more centro-
vet'sy •about the first Prize cow to
aged class than was fully justi-
nod by her variation from the ac-
opted type. It true that there
were a number of cows highly prized
by some of the critics that were of
quite a radicallyu

tylion the first gleam of hope came
basic after this.
Mr. Trolawney was a prisoner
his room for six weeks, and then
that blessed April day arrived when,
with a stick 1n one hand, and with
the other banes leaning on the nurse's
shoulder, the thin worn mart at last
recrossed the threshold of his sick-
chamber, ,mid retuitied to the little
world where a few kind people had
missed him, and whore his absence
had made one poor foolish heart al-
most bleed to death. As the slow,
little procession came along the
passage, the nurse and Mr. Tre-
lawney in front, Mrs. Markham,
laden with shawls and pillows, fol-
lowing, Letty watched it through
half-closed door with eyes that
could hardly look for gladness. So
was not going to die, but to live
For a glad fortnight past this
thought had been with her night and
'day, like a great fountain of joy—
"like the shadow of a rock in

which she had gone to bed at night
and risen in the morning—that had
beau meat and drink and life to her.
They could not take Alr. Trelawney
to his study, for that room was on
the ground floor, and he was too
weak to go downstairs, but they had
converted another bedroom on the
same landing as his awn intoe. tern-

loving hands had gathered on

He sat fora long time in a half-
dreamy idleness, too weak as yet
almost to enjoy his return to life,
but still glad. in a kind of faint
way, to see the outer world again—
contented to feel that death had
passed by him, It had troubled him
while his illness had been at its
worst, to think that he might die
and leave his book unfinished he
had wanted to recover, that he
Wright return to it, and get at least
a portion of his life's labor mom-
pleted, so that (even if he should die
after that) something at least might
be given to the world ; but now the
thought of his book pressed very
little upon him. Ho should return
to it presently, he hoped—but mean-
time the hold it had had of hint
seemed to have got loosened • the
power both of thought. and of long-
ing had become weak,
He had been sitting doing nothing
for a good while, when Mrs. Mark-
ham came back into the room.

asked him.'You've not been able
to make much of your reading, I
am afraid,"
..Well, no, not much, My eyes are

"Ah t you mustn't try them, sir.

aluct then there was a little pause,
till he said suddenly—

SEVERAL LIES NAILED,
Dr, Willgansz was asked about the
detention or reeoneontrado camps
which have been the cause of many
bitter attacks upon the. British by
Boor sympathizers.
"It has been stated that :the women
and children in those camps aro in-
sufficiently fed," said he. "That is
simply not true. I was in those
camps—lots of them— and I saw for
myself day after day. The people in
t11em are well fed, better than they
over were before iu their lives. If
they don't like the Iife there, it's be-
cause they have to keep clean. Some
of the Boers that aro brought in
there haven't had a bath in' five
years. But the British make them
keep clean and as healthy as possi-
ble. There are doctors in attend
Ince, and the people get medicines
when they need them. I don't say
that all the Boers aro uneducated
and don't wash. but most of them
live like heathen. There aro a few
C them'educated and civillaed, but
the majority stand in the light of
I in every possible way.
"Of course, the leaders are intelli-
gent• men, and their forces are hard -
more than slaves. They believe
ust what their leaders toll them. I

coast for a few days and the Doers
up there all thought that Cape Town

and, in fact, all the towns and coun-
try on the seacoast were in the hands
o1 the Boers. That is a fact. The
eadore have told them such is the
ase and they believe it. They aro
told that all they have to do is to
drive the//8511811 out of their own
Pastre as the rest of the country has
been cleared of them.
"The Boer's who are brought down
o the coast to be sent away took
vitt amazement at the peaceful life
here, and are vastly surprised to see
he British in charge. They all
link the coast is in the hands of
