CHAPTER XXXVI.—(Cunt'd) "But what a terrible autumn for you 1" exclaimed Frithiof. "And to think that all this should have sprung from that wretched eye - pound note! Our stories have been. curiously woven together, Sigrid," As she thought of the contrast between the two stories her tears broke forth afresh; she walked on silently, hoping that he would not notice them, but a. drop fell right on to his wrist; he stopped sudden- ly, took her face between his hands and looked full into her eyes. "You dear little goose," he said, "what makes you ere'? Was it be- cause I said our stories had been woven together?" "It's because I wish they could have been alike," she sobbed. "But it wasn't to be," he said quietly. "It is an odd thing to say to you to -night, when your new life is beginningbut to -night I also am happy, because now at last my struggle is over—now at last the fire is burned out .. :Isn't want etlifii but just the peace or taA ing fees to the end of niy life. Be- lieve me, I am content. •Her thixrat seemed to have closed -up, she could not say a word just because she felt for him so intense. V. She gave him a little mute caress, and once more they paced eking the garden path. But her whole soul revolted against this uo tion of content. She understood it as little as the soldier marching to his first battle understands the calor indifference of the comrade who lies in hospital. Surely Frithjof wasto have something better in his life than this miserable parr,;dy of love ? This passion, which had been almost all pain, could surely not be the only glimpse voucheafed him of the bliss which had trees - figured the whole word for her 1 There came back to her the thought of the old study at Bergen, and elm seemed to hear her father's voice saying: "1 should like an early marriage for Frithiof, but I will 114 sa,v too much about you, Sigrid, for I don't know hew 1 should ever spare you.,, And she sighed as she remember, ed how his plans had been crossed and his business ruined, and his heart broken ---how beth for him and for Frithimf failure had been de- creed. Yet the Christmas hells rang on in this world of strangely mingled joy and sorrow, tied they brought • her rnueh the same message that had been brought to her by the si- lence on Hjerkinsho "There is a better plan whicl • can't go wrong," she said to her- self.

The huge gold clock with the little white face pointed to the hour of eight, the golden pigs still climbed the gol- den hill, the golden swineherd still leaned meditatively on his golden staff. Mrs. Horner, arrayed in peacock -blue satin, glanced from her husband to the clock and back again to her husband. 'News 7" she said, in a distinctly discouraging tone. "Is ib that which makes you so late? However, it's of no consequence to me if the dinner is spoiled, quite the con- trary, I am not particular. But I beg you won't grumble if the meat is done to a cinder." ' "Never mind the dinner," re- plied Mr. Horner, captiously. "I have other things to think of than overdone joints. That fool Boni- face has taken me at my word, and actually doesn't intend to renew the partnership." "What 1" cried his wife, "not now that all this affair is cleared up, and ;;nu have apologized so handsomely to young .c .a1z2„ "No it's perfectly drs0sreeful said James Horner, looking like an angry- turkey -cock as he paced to and fro. I shook hands with Feick and told him I was sorry to have misjudged him, and even owned to Boniface that I had spoken hastily, but would you be- lieve it, he won't reconsider the matter, He not only gives me the sack, but he takes in my place that scheming Norwegian." •'But the fellow has no capital," cried Mrs. Horner, in great agita- tion. "He is as pool' as a rook! He hasn't a single peony to put into the concern." "Precisely. But Boniface is moll a fool, that he overlooks that and docs nothing but talk of his great business capacities, his industry, his good address, and a lot of other rubbish of that sort. Why, without, money a fellow is worth nothing— absolutely nothing." "From the first I detested him," said Mrs, Horner. "I knew that the Bonifaces were deceived in him. l.t's my belief that although his character is cleared as to this five - pound note business, yet he is real- ly a mere adventurer. Depend up- on it, he'll manage to get every- thing into his own hands, and will be ousting Roy one of these days." "Well, he's hardly likely to do that, for it seems the sister has been keeping her eyes open and that idiot of a Roy is going to marry herY " "To marry Sigrid Feick?" -ex- claimed Mrs. Horner, starting to her feet. "Actually to bring into the family a girl who plays at danc- ing classes and parties ---a girl who sweeps her own house and ea,oks her own dinner !" "I don't know that she is any • the worse for doing that," said ;James Horner. "It's not the girl herself that 1 object to, for she's pretty and pleasant enough, but the e5,nnectiun, the l,ein, related by marriage to that odious Feick, who has treated me se insufferably, who looke down un me and is as stand- off-ish as if he were an emperor." 'If there is one thing I do de- test," said Mrs. Horner, "it is pushing people—a sure sign of vul- garity. But itis partly Loveday's fault. If I had to deal with the Falake they would have been tal;ght. their proper • place, and all this would not, have• Happened," At this moment dinner was an noun(Pd, The, ovetxiope meat did not improve Mr, L1or'ner'e teirl,itee, and when the servants had loft the room he broke out into fresh in- vectives again the Boldfaces. "When is the wedding to be?" asked his wife. "Sonic time in February, I be- lieve. They are house -furnishing already." Mrs. Horner gave an ejaculation of annoyance. "Well, the sooner we leave Lon- don the better," she said. "I'm not going to be mixed up with all this, we'll avoid any open breach with the family of course, but for goodness' sake do let the house and let us settle down elsewhere. There's that house at Croydon I was very partial to, and you could go up and down easy enough from there." "We'll think of it," said Mr. Hor- ner, reflectively. "And, by the bye, we must, I suppose, get them some sort of wedding present." "By geed luck," said Mrs. Hor- ner, "I won a softs -cushion last week in a raffle at the bazaar for the chapel organ fund, It's quite good enough for them, I'm sure. I did half think of sending it to the youngest Miss Smith who is to be married on New -year's -day, but they are such rich people that I suppose I thrust send them some- thing a little more showy and ex- pensive. This will do very well for Sigrid Feick." Luckily the opinion of outsiders did not at all mar the happiness of the two lovers. They were charm- ed to hear that the Homers were leaving London, and when, in due time, the sofa -cushion arrived, sur- mounted by Mrs. Horner's card, Sigrid, who had been in tho blessed condition of expecting nothing, was able to write a charming little note of thanks, which by its straightfor- ward simplicity, made the donor blush with an uncomfortable sense of guilt. ' "And, after all," remarked Sig- rid to Cecil, "we really owe a great deal to Mrs. Horner, for if site had not asked me to that children's fancy -ball I should never have met Madame Lechertier, and hew could we ever have lived all together if it had not been for that?" "In those days I think Mrs. Hor- ner rather liked you, but somehow you have offended her." "Why, of course it was by earn- ing my living and setti ng up in model lodgings; I utterly shocked all her ideas of propriety, and, when once you do that, good-bye to all hopes of remaining in Mrs. Horner's good books. It would have grieved me to displease any of your relations if you yourselves cared for them, but the Horners— wel1, I eau not pretend to care the least about them." The two girls were in the little sitting -room of the model lodgings putting the finishing tenches to the white cashmere wedd:'i -dress which Sigrid had cut mut and made for herself during elle quiet days t ne had spent at Rowan Tree House a ve1-v one entered most heartily into all the, basenrepara tions, and Sigrid could not help thinking to herself that the best Proof that trouble had not spoiled or soured the lives either of Cecil er I'rithiof lay in their keen enjoy- ment of other people's happiness. Tho wedding was to be extremely quiet. Early In the morning, when Cecil went to see if she could he of any use, she found the bride -elect in her usual dress and her house- keeping apron,•of brown hollirld, busily packing Frithiofs portmaar- tcau- "Oh, let me do it for you," she said, "The idea of sour toiling away to -day as if you were not go- ing tb be married ! Sigrid laughed merrily. "Must brides sit down and do nothing until the ceremony 7" she asked. "if so, I ate sorry for them ; I couldn't sit still if I were to try. How glad I am to think Frithiof and Swanhild will be at Rowan Tree House while we are away; I should' never have had a moment'a ze peace if 1 left them here, for Swan- hild is after all only a child, It is so geed of Mrs. Boniface to 'have asked them!" "Since you are taking Roy away from us, I think it is the least you could do," said Cecil; laughing, "It will be such a help to have them this evening, for otherwise we should all he feeling very fiat, I know." "Anel we shall be on our way to the Riviera," said Sigrid, pausing for a few minutes in her busy pre- parations; a dreamy look carne into her clear, practical eyes, and she let her head rest against the side of the bed. "Sometimes, do yen lcnow," sho exclaimed, "1 can't believe this is all real. I think I am just imagin- ing it all, and that 1 shall wake up presently and find myself playing the Myosotio waltz at the academy —it was always such a good tune to dream to." "Wait," said Cecil, "does this make it feel more real?" and hast- ily going into the outer room she returned, bearing the lovely wed- ding bouquet which. Roy had sent. "Lilies of the valley 1" exclaimed Sigrid. "Oh, how exquisite! And myrtle and eucharis lilies—it is the most beautiful bouquet I ever caw." "Don't you think it is time you were dressing," said Cecil, "Come sit down and let me do your hair for you while you enjoy your flow- ers." "But •Swanhild's packing, I don't think it is quite finished," "Never mind, I will come back this afternoon with her and finish everything, you must let us help you a little just for once." And then as she brushed out the long golden hair she thought how few brides showed Sigrid's wonder- f111'usefulness and care for others, and somehow wished that Roy could have seen her just as she was in her working -day apron, too full of household arrangements to spend much time over her own toilet, (To be continued.) d• Torpedo Boat of 35 Knots.

Electricity is never absolutely safe. You may use the common fix- ture many millions of times, and yet some hidden defect or break- down of the distributing system may eventually cost you your life or property. From investigation by fire fight- ers and insuranee experts, certain conflagrations have been shown to be due to incandescent and arc lamps, or to wires laid bare by var- ious Causes. Cotton, velvet, plush, flannel, which has a fussy cotton nap, is apt to take fire from electric fixtures. A large plush theatre curtain which had been considered absolutely safe when exposed to sixteen candle- power incandescents, ignited when in contact with a thirty-two candle bulb and was destroyed, although fortunately discovered in time to save the theatre. An incandescent lamp wrapped in a wet cotton towel fired the towel and burned part of it to a coal. Another left lying on a cheap mattress ignited the cot- ton covering and excelsior and caused a eerious fire in the store. Sparks from stn are light in a de- partment store set fire to a line of cotton and shoddy cloaks on one of the tables. An electric flatiron left with the current turned on set fire to the covering and table, and the fire spread, causing much damage, Uncovered wire:, left touching a leaden gas pipe have often melted an eporture in the pipe and ignited the escaping gas, • Mien and rats may gnaw the cov- ering off a wire and aeeident may "shorte circuit" the current to do damage to property and even per- sons. Supporting a bulb a little above any inflammable matter by a Silk or rubber fastening will pre- vent actual danger from the current or bulb, 4, "Grace," said the father from the head of the stairs, "is that sweetheart of yours an auction- eer?"

As much depends upon the con- dition c•f the liens themselves as anything else, if yea are expecting the winter eggs, You c-,iould have seen to it that your Ilene were nob running wild during the late Fall, getting too much corn about the fields or hog pens, or that they are nut starving when you think they are picking up a good living for themselves after the grain has all been put away fur the winter. For many years I kept only a small !lock of hens and paid little attention to bhem except during the winter, writes Mr. B. M. Chand- ler. I got, of course, very few eggs and found that if I wished this hutch sought winter supply I must look closer to business. I tried strutting my hens in a large park during the month of No- vember and feediug them Booked vegetables, milk, a little of every- thing in the shape of grain, instead of letting them run to the corn houses; that is, all but those I wished to market, and those I con- fined in a large coop with a floor in it, so they could not do too much scratching, and fed them more grain and loss milk, plenty of clean water and usually two weeks would find them in -good condition for the market. This, I find, pays better than al- lowing the hens you wish to keep over remain with those you are go- ing tv sell, s111C0 the feeding me- thods differ. A lien should not be fat when the cold wca!lrer sets in any more than she should he starved. She should be fed according to the egg-produo- ' ing method, and with Inc that me- thud is regular meals, plenty of va- 'ricty in food and a good chance to scratch fur her living.

Soft food for breakfast, fed at six o'clock, milk and a little wheat or rye for dinuer, and sup- per at four o'clock of cern, two quarts to 40 hens. This may seem a small ration, but where three meals are given you will find that it is enough and if more is allowed them there will be fewer eggs. Sarco think it hotter to feed all small grain and no corn, but in the enol weather I find that corn satis- fies the fowls much better and it should be fed as !tut as they can Stand 11.

Deep the house clean, Every morning while the flock are at their breakfast take ' a. shovel and scrape up the drop- pings under the perches. Take care that they do not use the nests as roosting pieces, and always change the straw in the nests and get fresh straw or, better still, clover hay scatterings for litter at least as often as once a week. If you have a small coop and wish to keep, rather more hens than the room allows, you can make a nine se, etching place outside by putting up posts and snaking a straw shed enclosed with boards at the sides, Have this shed where they can reach it without getting into the snow, and allow them fe eat their meals there, keeping them busy scratching so that they will nob feel the chill. This will afford them suf- ficient exercise, A very large flock of hens can be kept profitably in a very small House in this manner.
