those. And what tire these little red

and plenty of milk, and four lamps of
sugar. Isn't this jolly? Like that first
evening at LYthinge, when 1 brought my
tea in ---do you'remember? And wasn't
the supper last night tine? I dreamed
about it. I'm sure 1 should soon grow
to be a lady If 1 always had such nice
things to eat. I don't much like your
friend, though. lie's sort of sarcastlo,
and seems to look right through me with
those queer, bright eyes of his. lie's
very handsome; Isn't he? So tall, and
such 'nIe long hair and' mustache, and
such lovely hands, like the -heroes In
the pictures outside the penny novel-
ettes. But I like your face ever 00
much better, dear, dear Mr. Hervey, with
your beautiful straight nose, though you
haven't got a mustache, and your hair
is cut short. Why are you Laughing?
Mr. Wray was always laughing at me,
too. And he called me a little animal,
which I thought very rude of him; don't
yon,?"
"Lilith," I na1d, "I am going out of

Lilith put clown her knife and fork. A
look of most wobegone disappointment
crept over her face,
[ thought you seemed to be gutting

pathetically, while big tea's began to
gather In her eyes. And now, after all,
YOU want to get rid of line."
It isn't that, dear, and you mustn't
think It for a nmoment. But you want
to be educated:' you said so yesterday."
"Why cat't.I be educated here in,
London, and see you every day? If you
nut me away In the country, I shall on-
. ly run back to you. I hate -school. and
I amreally too old for it I only want

took both the hands of this most
unreasonable child In mine and stroked
them, while I tried to snake her listen
to reason. But she was only too ready
to be consoled, and In moment she had
slipped off her elinin, and was kneeling
by my aide, rubbing her cheek against
my coat -sleeve, smiling, and almost
purring with restored good humor.
And you won't send me away from
you, will you?" she Whispered, with her
arm round my neck. If I may only go
to school in London. near you, and see
you every day, I'll be as good as gold."
And at that identical moment, after
so brief and hurried a knock that neither
of us heard 1t. 11 renshanv, to evident

she asked me,
Before 1 could answer, Lady ?,Onrgar-

and her footman's thundering rat -tat
echoed down the street.
\Crenshaw looked at me and hesi-
tated.
"Well, ]lir, Weenshaw," cried Lilith,
"why don't you answer the door? Is
there any reason why this lady should-
n't 00)110 tt110taI1'e?"
"Show Lady Margaret up at once," I
said, turning to IVOtl1shaw 1n a Peremp-
tory manner; and the elan, with an Odd,
parting look at mc. which seemed some-

I went up to Lilith who was standing
quite still in the middle of the room,
looking unusually pale and serious.

I could hear the door open down-
stairs and a little later Madge's dear,
well -modulated voice in colloquy with
Wrenshaw.
"Nonsense, my dear . child," I satd,
"She will bo Yourfriend, just as I- am
your friend"
For .all that, I do not deny that in nny
secret heart I considerably dreaded the
coming interview between Madge and
Lilith, and was much exercised in mind
as to how: m,y sathloal cousin would
take 1110 young girl's outbursts of de-
monstrative •affection toward me. Still,
it Ives vastly better that they should
sleet openly; and I -could only trust to
Madge's good 502150 and fairness not
to place a wrong construction upon Lil-
rt1Ys unconventional behavior,
Already I could hear footsteps on the
stairs; V1l'eiisha.w was, showing Madge
up, when suddenly Lilith threw my de-
taining hand off her shoulder.
I don't want her friendship! I don't
want to know her! And she cha'n't put
on etre with me!" she sobbed out, a red
spot showing on each cheek.
Tho next -moment she had darted
'across the room,lelaped over' the sofa.
and had oomplotely concealed herself
under the tapestry table -cover which
laid the belongings of Nicholas Wray.

for fixing an early date. I assured him

With :that she bent forward, and. lay-
ing her gloved hands on my shoulders,
sho'lcissed me very gently, very tenderly,
on each cheek. Rising the nextminute,
she declared that.h01' mother would be

she exclaimed; "and you Can' P111 me 111

CHAPTER 3CII, '-
It was in September, more than a year
after Lilith's installation as one of the
Morland Douse pupils, that•I made my
second visit 'to Clifton Downs,
During all that petted I had not once
seen her, although from time to time
I had received dutiful little letters. ex-
cellently spelled and worded, reporting
her progress 1)1 the valgus arts and no-
comptislunents she was studying under
Mrs, 1\Iorland's -care, On her sixteenth
and seventeenth birthdays 1 had sent
her little inexpensive trinkets, which
she had cluly acknowledged, but from
the conventional tone of her prim little
letters I felt certain' that they were
supervised by Mrs. Morland, and 1n not
one of them was there mingled with her

spontaneous affection had delighted 111e,
and it had gong to my heart to renre50
it. During all that year of absence I
never once forgot her lovely face, her
bright laughter, and her frank, confiding
chatter. Time blurred all remembrance
of her triiitng•elips in grammar and

HANGED A BLOOD INDIIN.
Duncan J- D. Campbell Was Mc-
Leotl's First Sheriff.
Among the quite distinguished
old-timers in tlhe Canadian West,
Duncan J. D'Urban Campbell, late
sheriff of Macleod Judicial District,
occupies a prominent place.
Born at St, Hilaire, Quebec, an
July 16, 1855, young Casnpbell was
educated at his home schools and alt
Bishop's College, ab Lennoxville.
Ile entered the Bank of Montreal in
1874 and resigned in 1882. When
the Regina settlers came West to
colonize a new land, he was with
them, but shortly afterwards came
an to Macleod at the invitation of
Lieut. -Col. Irvine, commissioner of
Mounted Police, He was under
contract to supply beef to the In-
dians'on the western reserve till the
Canadian Pacific Railwtay reached
Gleichen. During that time he also
supplied the railway dining service
as far' as Morley, Alta.
He was appointed one of tthe five
deputy sheriffs of the territories in
1883, and was also at this time ap-
pointed postmaster at Macleod. He
occupied the position of deputy

Supreme Court was organized in
Alberta, and he was made sheriff
of the South Alberta judicial dis-

organization of the Province, when
he was appointed sheriff of Macleod
Judicial District. Mr. Campbell
had one of the largest judicial dis-
orders in Western Canada, requiring

Power of Many Plants and it linal8
One of Marvels of Nature.
Among the most remarkable of all
nature's phenomena is the marvel-
lous light -giving power of many of
our 0011n1411 plants and animals.
Under certain conditions nastur-
tiums, sunflowers, dahlias, tube-
roses and yellow lilies may be seen
to glow with a soft radiance, vary-
ing in color and intensity, Only
those flowers that have an abun-
dance of yellow -el' orange shades
exhibit this phosphorescence. The
best- time to see the light is after
dark, when the atmosphere is clear
and dry. The light is sometimes
steady, but often intermittent and
flashing.
Often in the early fall the ground
will be illuminated by the glow from
the dead leaves. The Australian
poppy is the most remarkable of all
rho luminous plants, for it has been
found to send out a light of its own
of quite notable brilliancy.
Mushrooms growing on decayed
wood often have a degree of bril-
liancy that, when they are placed
on a newspaper, will enable One to
read the words in their vicinity with
no other light. One species of
mushroom in Ansti'alia, 16 inches in
diameter, was of such brilliancy
that, seen from a distance, its light
frightened the natives.
More interesting than the lumi-
nous plants are' the luminous ani-
mals. The Pacific coast, famous for
its many curious specimens of plant
and animal life, is the home of
many of thein.
Of all these the Aseidians are most
noteworthy. One of them, the Py-
rosama, was seen first as' a blaze as
big as a bucket. When captured it
was found to be a foot long and
open• at one end, at which there
was a faint light. When touched
the light"at once blazed forth into a
vivid silver phosphorescence. One
of the animals kept in a dark room
furnished enough light for the read-
ing of medium-sized print.
The creatures are of almost inde-
scribable beauty, and by their
radiance when moving about under
water near -by fish can be discerned.
Bibra, the British naturalist, uti-
lized the animals for light, .and a
half-dozen of them at one side of a
small room would furnish sufficient
light for the reacting of a news-
paper at the other side.
-Crabs are notable Light -givers,
and the Salpa, of California, is the
most wonderful of all. Bodies of
water 20 miles square have been
seen glowing with them, and in the
Santa Catalina Channel one natnr-
alist reported that as far as the eye
could see the creatures lay gleam-
ing like genas, in the sunlight.
Many luminous frogs have bean
discovered froau time to time, and
any frog may be made lmminons by
inoculating it with certain bacteria
which produce this phenomenon,
Many theories have been brought
forward to expl.ain'the phenomenon
of luminosity, but as yet very little
is known about it. In many in-
stances, otth as the cases of dead
leaves or decayed wood, luminosity
is evidently•duo to fungus growth,
but 'in other cases, where no
growth. can be seen, the riddle re.
Mains- unsolved, along with many
other marvels of nature.

POLITICAL REPARTEE.
Disraeli Awarded the Palm for Re-
partee by, Mr. Gladstone.
In a recent article on the humors
of British elections, Mr. Brian Phil-
lips &dares
hil-lips-declares that Mr, Gladstone al-
ways awarded the palm for political
repartee to his great opponent, Dis-
raeli, because of a retort he maele to
an unfriendly crowd quite early in
his career. The future Lord Bea-
consfield, then scarcely known, was
standing for Parliament against
Colonel Grey, who had the powerful
backing of the great Whig family of
that name: The audience ..was in-
clined to regard the brilliant young
Jew as an alien and au upstart,
"We know all about Colonel
Grey," some one shoultecl, "but,
pray, what do you stand on 1"
"I stand on my head," was the
instantaneous ,reply.

bringing-up, was asked a eimi]ar
question, he scored as swiftly and
even more severely. The heckler
unwisely inquired if he remembered
that his grandfather used to drive
a donkey and cart.
"You will have to forgive me,
ladies and gentlemen," Mr, Lloyd -
George apologized; "the cart had
quite escaped my memory, but I see
the donkey is living yet."
A parallel case in which the young
aristocrat proved as able as the
self-made man to, hold his own when
jeered at, was that of Viscount
Lewisham, a protectionist, or, as
the English say, '`tariff reform"
candidate, who was allspected of a
lack of sympathy for the poor, be-
cause of his too fortunate birth.
"Yah!" cried a ragged listener,
as 1114 began to speak. "You wants
to tax 0111•' food!"
"Be calm, my good man," the
viscount reassured him. "We don't
intend to tax thistles."
A temperance orator, speaking
during the same campaign, was so
frequently interrupted by a rowdy
in the crowd that the rest, even
those 'who had been at first hostile,
turned against the offender, and
there were lusty sellouts of "Turn
him out !"
"No, don't turn him out," sug-
gested the speaker, mildly. "Turn
him upside down, and let the beer
rein out of him."
The suggestion, although it- was
not literally complied with, met the
uproarious favor of the audience,
which remained wholly friendly to
the orator to the end of his address.
Most of the type used by Chinese
printers is made in Japan.
"Madam. do you give any of your
time for self -reflection?" "•Certain-
ly I do. What do you suppose
looking-glasse-s are made for?"
"Our greatest glory," says Con-
fucius, "is not in never falling, but
in rising every time we fall." Some
consider it their greatest glory
tripping other people up.

looking enough, but I don't care
for his ways." Maris—"Never

Are Your Cows Robbers?
The value of a dairy tem depends
upon the amount of milk and butter
fat she produces and tjh,e quality of
calves she raises as compared with
the oast of her keep, Judges of '
dairy cattle can in the majority of
cases select vary good cows from
very poor ones, but in the inter-
mediate grades even men most fa-
miliar with the so-called dairy type
make grave mistakes, If . there
was no other means of judging the
value of dairy cows except by ex-
ternal appearances,profits in dairy-
ing would he more a matter of
chance than is now the ease. Tho
only accurate way \0e have of de-
termining the value of dairy cows
is by the use of the milk scales and
the Babcock test, With this clean,'
accurate and convenient method of
finding the fat oontent of milk, no
dairyman can afford not to know
just what his cows are doing.
The desirability of testing .cow
has been urged for many yams.?
Soares of examples could be cited
where testing has meant increased;
profits. It is genierally - accepted'-- '
that many dairy cows yield Mule -
quote returns and that their re-
moval £rom the herd would be a
profit. The easy means of detect-
ing the s'obbe rs (t11e Baboaek tedit.
and scales) are well known, and yet -.
some dairymen go right on letting
the old cow pay what she wishes
for her feed. It is not enough that
the herd pays a profit. Each cow
in the herd should be contributing
her share towards the total profit.
Until dairymen come to recognize
that adequate business methods are
necessary 'they need not hope for
success. ,
Separating Milk. -
The three systems of separating
milk in most common use are! The
ehadidw pan, deep setting, and cen-
trifugal.
The setting of milk in pans or
crocks, letting the milk stand for
from twelve to twenty-four . hours,
depending upon the temperature,
and then skimming the crease, is
known as the shallow pan system.
This is the oldest method of sepa-
rating cream from milk, and varies
greatly in efficiency, depending 100017
largely on how quickly the milk is
cooled after coming from the cow
and how low a temperature is . se-
cured during the creaming process.
The deep setting, system is used
almost as much as the shallow Pan.
The essentials of this system ase
Gans six to eight in,ehes in diameter
and about two feet long, which are
placed in cold water. Often e
trench is dug in a spring house in
which the water stands at the pro-
per height, and is continually run-
ning
unning through the trench.
This is an effective and economi-
cal method, botch as to labor and
expense o8 construction. As in the
ease of the shallow pan systern,`the
real efficiency of this system of sepa-
ration clepemde upon the tempera-
ture of the milk.
The best method of separating
milk yet devised is the oentrifugal
maehane, This machine involves a
considerable outlay of money, rind
the farmer expects better results
f1•om it than any other method, na-
turally—and he gets their, • foo.
Whethea a man makes or 1os•e,s mo-
ney on his milk is usually dater;•
mi'n'ed by his method of separating
it. A machine is expensive et she
start, but it is worth having.
Sheep Sorel.
Sheep aorel grows most abun-
dantly in thin or worn-out mea-
dows, Breaking the meadow and
raising corn or some other culti-
vated crop will usually subdue the
weed. The laid should be enriched
with barnyard manure before re-
seeding to grass, and an effort
should be made to secure a thick
stand. On meadows or pasture theft
cannot be plowed, top dressing with
manure and sowing additional glass
seed will be beneficial. The adcli.
tion of lime to the soil is also said
to aid in thickening the grass and
crowding out the sorrel. -
Notes of the Hog Lot. '
Mistakes in pig feeding are costly;,
In the shoat life of the pig there
is little time to correct misitakes.
Because the hog has the ability
to utilize grailnlocals so efficiently
and economically is a poor excuse
for feeding, grain exolosivply , end
neglecting tin reduce the oast of po"r•k
growing by the use of supplemental
forage and pasture trope.
The object o8 sanit,al)ion in the hog
yards, and house: is to ,s 11111'O tlio
grelutest degree of bodily health and
vigor, because the anlnlal wadi' de-
velop better and be less susceptible
