CHAPTEII XXXVI1I,—(C'olat'd)
The children's faces fell. I
seemed almost as if they instinctive
ly knew of the cloud that hung ore
-their father. They had always
known that he woukl some day -
come to them; but his name ha
been little mentioned. It was dif
• ficult to mention it without running
the risk of the terrible question:;
which as children they were so like-
ly to ask. All the gladness and
spirit seemed to- have left them.
They were lith shy, and the meet-
ing. with this unknown parent was
a terror to them. They clung to
Frithiof as he took thein djwn-
stairs, and, catching sight of Cecil
leaning back in one of the hall -
chairs, they made a rush for her,
and poured out all their childish
fears as she clung to them a:
td
kissed them with all the tendcrneet
of a real mother. - •
"We don't want to go and see fa-
tl_t"'Weei," said Lance, stoutly"'Welead much rather not."
"But you must think that he
wants to see you very much," es:cl
Cecil. •'He remembers yeti quite
well, though you have forgotten
_nine; and now that he has come to
you; you must both snake him very
happy, and love him."
"I don't like him at all," said
Gwen, perversely,
"It is silly and wrong to s
e that,'' said Cecil. "You will lot'
_ him wheat you see him,"
• "1 fore -you,'' said Gwen, with a
vehement ling.
"Have you only room for one per
d son in your heart?"
"I rather love Herr Frithiof,"
said Gwen, glancing up at him
through her eyelashes.
They both smiled, and Cecil, see-
ing that little would be gained by
diseussing the matter, got up arid
heel them toward the drawing -room,
her pale, brave face contrasti•ng
curiously with Gwen's rosy cheeks
and rebellious little air,
Mr. Boniface sat talking to the
new -comer kindly enough, They
both rose as Cecil and the children
entered.
•'This is my daughter," said Mr,
Boniface.
Aad Cecil shook hinds with the
ex -prisoner, and looked a little
anxiettsly into his face,
He was tattier a pleasa'tt-looking
man of fire -and -thirty, and no much
like Lance that she e+niid not help
feeling kindly toward him. She
hoped that the ehildre;i would be-
have well, and glanced at Gwen
nervously.
Bet Gwen, who was a born flirt,
speedily forgot her dislike, and was
quite wwilling to meet the stranger's
advances half -way. In two min-
utes' time she was contentedly sit-
ting on his knee, while Lance stood
shyly by, studying his father With
a gravity which wen., however, in-
clined to he friendly and not criti-
cal. When he had quite satisfied
himself he went s,ftly away, return-
ing before long with a toy pistol
and a boat, wlt ch he put into- his
father's )rands,
"'What is tide?" said Mr. Gral.rt.
ley.
"'It's my favor_to toys," said
OSI "1 .wantedto show client -
yon, Quick, Gwen, - run aasd find
your dull for .father,"
the garden and tell Roy and Sigrid
what had passed.
"How does 'Cecil take it?" asked
Sigrid, anxiously.
"Very quietly," was the reply;
"but I am afraid she feels loafing
them so some,"
Frithjof, with an uncomfortable
recollection of what had passed in
the garden, doubted if Mrs, Boni-
face fully understood the depth of
Cecil's feelings. He left them talk
iug-over the drawbacks and advan-
tages of culonial life, and went in
to his translating; hut though he
forgot the actual cause, he was
conscious all the time of a clisturb-
ing influence, and even While ab-
sorbed in his work, had an irritat-
ing sense that something had gone
wrong, and that trouble was in the
air.
He went to bed and dreamed all
night of Cecil. She haunted him
persistently; sometimes he saw her
leaning back on the garden -seat,
with the narcissus just falling from
her hand, sometimes he saw her
with the children clinging to her
es they hacl done in the hall.
From that time forward a great
change came over his attitude to-
ward her. Hitherto his friendship
with her had, it must be owned,
been chiefly selfish. 1 -Ie had always
heartily liked her, had enjoyed be-
ing at Rowan Tree ,.House, had fal-
len into the habit •of discussing
many things with her and valuing
her opinion, but it was always of
himself that he had thought—of
what she could do for him, of what
he could learn from her, or how
much enjoyment he could get from
her nausio and her frank friendli-
ness, and her easy way of talking.
It was not that he was more selfish
than most men, but that they had
learned really to know each other
at a time when his heart was so
paralyzed by Blanche's faithless-
ness, so crushed by the long aeries
of misfortunes, that giving he d
been out of the question for him;
he could merely take and stake the
meet of whatever she could give
him.
Batt now all this was altered, The
old wounds, though to the end of
his life they must leave a scar, were
really healed. He had lived
through a great deal, and had lived
in, a Ivey that had developed the
best points in his character, He
had now a growingly keen appreci-
ation for all that Was really beau-
tiful—for purity, and strength, and
tenderness, and for that quality
which it is the fashion to call Altru-
ism, but which he with his hatred of
affectation in words, called good-
ness.
As he thought of Cecil during
ay those days he began to see mote
e and more clearly the full force of
her character. Hitherto ho had
quietly taken her for granted ; there
was nothing very striking about
• her, nothing in the least obstrusive.
Perhaps 1111 had not been for that
strange little scent in the garden
he would never have taken the trou-
ble to think of her actual charac-
ter.
Through the week that fullowed
he watched her with keen interest
and sympathy. That she should be
in trouble—at any rate, in trouble
that was patent to all the world—
was something entirely new, Their
positions seemed to be reversed;
and lie found himself spontaneous-
ly doing everything he could think
of •to please and help her. Her
trouble seemed to draw diem to-
gether; and to his mind there was.
something very beautiful in her pas-
sionate devotion to the. children—
for it was devotion that never in
the least bordered on ,sentimental-
ity. She went through everything

Ile seemed touched and plaaeed;
and indeed they were sneh wel1-
trainen children that any parent
must have been proud of them, To
this ex -convict, who for years had
been est off from all child -life, the
mere sight of them was refreshing.
ITe seeniccl anile inclined to sit
there and play with them for the
rest of the evening. And Cecil sat
by ih a 51rt of dream, hearing of.
the new home thet wits to be made
for the children in British. Colum-
bia ---where land was to be had for
a penny an «ere, and where one
could live on grapes and perches,
and all tho most delicious fruits.
Theta,. presently, w'ithotnany expres-
sions of gratitude for that pati'
been clone for the chilci•'c 1, MY,
Grantley took leave, and •tie • led
the little 000b tap to bed ;Wog

very naturally, having a good cry,
now and then, bit taking etre not
to make the childrein unhappy at
the proepect of the parting, and ar
ranging everything that they could
possibly want, not only on the voy-
age" but for some time to _come in
their new home;
"Slee is so plucky 1" tltonght Fri-
thiof to himself witha thrill of ad
:Mention. For lie was not all the
sort of man to adtniro helplessness,
or languor, or cowardice; they
seemed to hint es unlovely in a wo-
man AB in a liana,
At last the actual parting came.
Cecil would have liked to go down
to the steamer and see the children
start, but on thinking it over she
,deckled that it would be better not.
"They will feel saying good-bye,"
she said, "and it had better be here.
Then they will have the long drive
with you to the docks, and by that
time they will be all right again,
and will he able to enjoy the steam-
er and all the novelty."
gr. Boniface was obliged to own
that there was sound common sense
in this plan ; so in their own nur-
sery, where for nearly five years
she had taken .such care of them,
Cecil dressed the two little ones
for the last time, brushed out
Gwen's bright curls, coaxed Lance
into his reefer, and then, no longer
able to keep back her tears, clung
to them in the last terrible part-
ing,
"Oh, Cecil, dear, ,darling Cecil,"
subbed Lance, "I don't want to go
away; I don't care for the steamer
one bit.'
She was on the hearth -rug, with
both children nestled close to her,
the thought of the unknown world
that they were going out into, and
the clifrrenit future awaiting them,
came sweeping over her ; just as
they were then, innocent, and un-
conscious, and happy, she could
never see them again.
"Be good, Lance," she said,
through Iter tears. "Promise me
always to -try to be good.''
"I promise," said the Iittle fel-
low, ]nagging her with all his might.
"And we shall c•omo back as soon
as ever we're grown up—we shall
both come back.''
"Yes, yes," said Cecil, "you
must come back."
But in her heart she knew that
however pleasant the meeting in
future years might be, it could not
be like tate present; as children, and
as her own special charge, she was
parting with them forever.
The carriage drove up to the
door, there came sounds of hurry-
ing feet and ,fetching and carrying
of luggage Cecil took then (Iowa -
stairs, and then, with a last long
embrace from Lance, and kisses in-
terspersed with sobs from Gwen,
she gave them up to their father and
turned to take leave of their nurse.
"I will take great care of them,
miss," said the maid, herself cry-
ing, "and you shall hear from hie
regularly."°
In another minute the carriage
had driven way. and Cecil was left
to make the best she might of what
she could not but feel, at first, a
desolate life..
CHAPTER MIX.
Hardly had the bustle of depar-
ture quieted down at Rowan Tree
House when a fresh, anxiety arose.
Herr Sivertsen, who had .for some.
time been out of health, was seized
with a fatal illness, and for three
days and nights Frithiof was un-
able to leave him; on the third
night the old Norseman passed
quietly away, conscious to the last
minute, and with his latest breath
inveighing against the elegem:raey
of the age.

"Frithiof is a rare exception,"
he said, turning his dim eyes to-
ward Sigrid, who stood by the bed-
side, "And to him I leave all that
I have, As fo ,.the general run of

His voice died away, lie sighed
deeply, caught Frithiof's hand in

BRITAIN'S NAVY AND ARiMY.
Butt arc Strong. Says First Lord
of the Admiralty.
In a recent speech at Dundee
Winston Churchill, the First Lord
of the Admiralty, spoke with great
cenfidenee of the British. naval and
military forces. He said :—"When
1 have an opportunity of addressing
the Ho'nse of Commons in March,
I shall be Balled upon to do so on
the nava] estimates for the year.
I am confident I shall be able to
show that the nayy is not only
strong, but is getting stronger ac-
tually and .relatively, and that
there is no danger whatever to the
great position we have acgttired,
and which we have set ourselves to
maintain from being diminished or
undermined by the progress of time
or by the changes in naval science.
We have also to co-operate with our
sister service by land, and during
the par.sago of the last few years
the Admiralty have been working in
ever closer accord with the War
Office to cccm•e the defence of these
islands from all possible danger or
menace. The furtherance of Bri-
tish policy, necessarily world-wide
in its responsibilities, the guar-
dianship of our empire, spread over
the surface of the globe, require
the joint action both of the land and
tea forces of the Crown. The Army
does not play so large a part in our
forces, offensive or defensive, as
the navy; does not compare with
the standard of other Powers its
anything like the same immense
proportion of power; but I believe
it to be perfectly true to say that
the British army, although a small
army—very small, indeed, compel,
eel to the furees of Continental na-
tions—yet nourishes a military
science, a knowledge and an origi-
nality of professional experience
which place its ablest olieers on a
level with those even of the greatest
armies on the Continent of Eu-
rope." -

for Heating Water,
A tank may bo built cheaply of
planks for the sides and ends, tt'itht
galvanized iron for tiro bottom, so
titan when the tank is set on the
brick foundation a fire can be built
under it, and it will take but littlo-
heat to keep the water froth freez-
ing.
The stovepipe must have an el -
how that goes through the briolc
nearly up to the bottom of the
tank, so that the pipe won't touch
the plank. The stook drink more
water in winter when it is heated,
When ice-cold they will go for days
without drinking at all; and as
plenty of water is necessary to their
well being, the impor'tattce of hav-
ing it at a comfortable temperature
is readily seen.
Also, the milking cow will give
more milk, and the young stock
stand the cold better when the
water is saved the freezing mark.
Live Stock Means Success.
On nearly every farm live stock
raising is merely a side lino, when
i.t should he the main thing. Therm
is no place. where the farmer can
market his corn and roughage so
profitably as feecling it to good live
stock. The market is right at home
in the feed lot, and no Long -hauls
to town aro necessary. If •a fur-
nier can feed his 0O -cent corn to
good hogs which will pay him 8(1
cents .for it, does he not snake an
advance on the price of his turn and
a profit in the fertility returned to
the soil, as well as a saving of ex-
pense in hauling? Breeding pure-
bred live stock is a business which
should he entered gradually and.
retired from reluctantly. Improv-
ing the common stock a little each
year will lead up to the pure-bred
business. 'There can exist no per-
manent system of agriculture with-
out live stock and, un high priced
land, pure-bred stock is the only
kind to have.
Notes of -the Sheep Fold.
Musty hay causes cough and
throws the sheep and lambs off
their feed for a day or more, then,
being hungry, they eat too much,
causing stomach and intestinal de-
rangements; then they drink too
much water.
Oil,.meal is greatly relished by
lambs and helps greatly in the fine
finish obtained in feeding.
In shipping lambs, keep the calls
at home or sell to local buyers.
Fancy and well conditioned lambs
aro the ones that bring ]tome the
money from any market.
Oats and peas sown together
make a great forage crop for sheep.
Many a failure in the sheep
business has resulted from the -own-
er neglecting to give the business
thought and study.
Avoid an excessive amount of for-
age that has been more or less af-
fected by frost.
For tine Swine Breeder.
Unsanitary conditions about the
hog pens cause an unwarranted loss
of pigs in infancy.
Corn breeders claim that it '.is
possible to double their crops by
improved methods, Is it not pos-
sible for tis to double our pig crop
without keeping more sows?
The size of the pig crop depends
upon the care and feed given the
sows more than it clots upon how
many sows we keep. The fewer
SOWS we keep, the better are the
chances of saving a large number
of Pigs per sow.
Overfeeding and .uuclee-exercising
will ruin the best of breed sows.
When outdoor exercise and sun-
shine are lacking, the. pigs should
have a wide variety of feeds. -
Clean Milk is Nigh -class Milk.
The city milk consumer wants
clean milk and should have .it, City
Boards of Health are working over-
time in formulating regulations and
'restrictions for the Producer of
milk, Sometimes their restrictions
are not wise, most times they are:
Sometimes they ,remember that to
conform to their rule requires an
increased outlay watt a higher pre -
clueing oust, most Iimestehey do not.
When the city is ready to pay for
clean, high-class milk it will be fur •
-
nished. .130t the cheap milk' nod
the clean rich milk nvhich angst cit-
ies demand is an impossible corn
bination. It is not fair to the.
dairyman to ask that he furnish a
euptrior i roelttct tet an inferior
price.. The real solution for less
bacteria is more cents per quart”
