'Yes, I do.'

so shameful, so humiliating, so de•

was not faithful, that some other
women had power to make him al-

be able to nay nothing about that

'But surely you have forgotten

in the town weeks before. No, Wiry
child, I'm afraid it is no good your
trying to shield the lady. She did
the deed sure enough, and if they
can catch her she willhave to suffer
for it,'
For a minute or two Mrs. Dennis
did not speak. She had slipped her,
bonds free frcm the warm clasp of
lite and instead of standing beside
him, ebe { ad sank back in an atti-

'Why ? I can't tell you—I-- I—
don't know --only to please me,
Jack—for my sake, let the police
find out what they will, but don't
tell them about that woman, dear
Jack, please don't-'
Her tone was so urgont, her whole
face and manner so full of entreaty
that be had practioally no choice 1n
the matter. 'Of course We not my
business to say anything one way or
the other,' he said unwillingly. 'I
am only an outsider and will pro-
bably have nothing to say about the
affair. Then shall 1 speak to Judge
for you 2'
'If you will,' in a very meek tone.
'And on your side, Ethel, you'll
promise me one thing,' he, began.
'I will promise nothing -nothing,'
the cried wildly—'not to'•night Jack,
don't day it, I'm so filled with the
horror of it all—I oau't even think

'But I must ask you one thing,'
he persisted—'Don't be afraid ; I
am not going to ask anything re•

you must put a watch on your own
tongue—you meat be careful what
you say ; and for Heaven's sake,
my child, for your own sake, for
mine, let no excitement, no feeling
of distress at your terrible situation,
tempt you into giving utterance
again to the words which you said
to me just now, that you were afraid
of yourself.'
'I will try,' she said humbly.
The meekness of her tone melted
his heart instantly—for the epaoe
of a few seconds be had felt a shade
hurt that she should so evidently
imagine that he was going to speak
of their own future, ho had even
felt a thrill of indignation that she
•should, even in her grief or at least
her distress, think him capable of
even hinting at their feeling for one
another while her dead husband was
lying close at hand—but her crush•
ed tone .conquered all that.

Early Lanibs for Market.
In the rearing of early lambs the
greatest difficulty that meets the
shepherd is the trouble that arises
over weakly lambs. If, however,
the ewes have been given proper
care, and have kept in good thriving
condition, there is seldom much
trouble with the lambs: The lamb•
ing folds must he comfortable, diy
and moderately warm. Unless the
fold is so protected that the rigors
of late February or early March fail
to affect the lambs, there is but
little hope in having them on the
market in such condition as to cora-
mated the best prices. In attending
weals lambs it is beet to nater take
the lamb away from the ewe, as
great diffienity will oftentimes arise
ii persuading her to own 11 again.
The ewes should be fed well and
given every care. Itis advisable to,
shear them its early in the season
as possible. A mailed improve•
meat in the growth of the lambs
is sure to result if the ewes are shorn
in April or early in May. The sus-
tenance which they had to give to a
