Mrs. Morland I had "found very like • her portrait, and looking not a day old- er. A little overplump, a little over- dressed, but sweet -voiced, agreeable, and good-natured of aspect. I had left Lil- ith' with her, confident that they would soon 'be friends, and had returned to town a little pained and regretful, but convinced that I had done the best that lay, in me for the child I loved. Up to the very moment of parting she had been quiet and sorrowful and more Or less indifferent in manner, which was the nearest approach to sulkiness which she could compass; but as I was leaving Morland House, she darted into the hall atter ]lie; and, clinging to me, besought tato- in a .passion of tears to take her back with me and not leave her among strangers, 'I hate school, I hate learning, I hate all these strange women!' she had sob- bed; •. "I don't want to be a lady, or any- thing but just your servant; and I am sure. you can't care for that Lady Madge as you would for mel' Mrs. Morland, sailing into the hall 1n Lilith's rear, had taken her from me, and -endeavored to assist me in paclfY- ing her, while she listened very sym- pathetically to my explanation •that, .elnoe her father's death, I had been Lil- ith', only friend, But when, on my return to town, I wrote' to Mrs. Morland, begging her to let•'me know whether her new charge was becoming r'econofied to her changed surroundings, that lady hastened to as- eure me that Lilith was making friends With every one, and was already both contented and popular. And you must pardon me for saying, dear Mr, Hervey," Mrs. Morland con - bells, and Tndoe(ian clubs, as well as "such \\ toilets as befitted a gentlewoman," that I was constrained to admit the profit must be small, especially as there web no holidays to mitigate the expenditure, and t0 supplement the amount with the sum of twenty -flue pounds a year of pri- vate pocket money for my little. protege, Not for very much longer could I deny myself the pleasure of seeing her. I told myself this as I smelted 1n the moonlight that night at Cowes. In just seven months Madge and I were to be married, The church, the bridesmaids, the material for the bride's gown, all these things were already chosen, Madge's sympathy with and interest in my work were wonderful; but only on that one point did we deem to touch. I of was vexed, without caring sufficiently d- to be jealous, when she flirted to excess, as she invariably did under my eyes. he Her hitter speeches hurt me, her powder and perfumes, her Pinched -in palet, en elaborate toilets, and cynical tall;, all jarred upon ale. It was clear to me that she oared for me very little, 1f at all. Her transient gleams of tenderness to- anent ward me grew leas and less frequent, her flirtations with other men more marked every day. And yet paragraphs were constantly appearing in the papers anent our forthcoming marriage in the spring; and, should nothing intervene y to prevent it, on the second of March, in the following year, Madge Lorimer and I should become man and wife. Before that date, 1 had resolved that she should know all about Lilith, as was only right, and her clever brain might solve the enigma of Llllth'a future, But up to now the child's name had never once passed my lips in speaking to my fiance; even if she were induced to be - ]leve the real faints of the case she would sneer, and I could not tolerate o her sneers at the expense of Lilith Sax on. Suddenly, as I lay on a deck -chair, 1- pondering over theme things, I heard the yacht hailed from the shore. Lady Marga'et, ahoy!" The call was answered, and a little later the soft splash of oars and the sound of 'voices close under the boat - side told of an arritial at the yacht. n A moment later I heard Madge'a voice and my uncle's, old started up from my chair to greet them. Lord Carchester was at this time shout fifty -flue years of age, and looked older. A alight, dignified, quiet -manner- ed man, of rather less than medium height, worm, handsome face, and silver- gray hair and moustache, year by year he seemed to become more bent, mora thin, and more silent. Only when ;le was alone with Madge and me did he unbend to show the gentle, kindly humor that underlay his ordinary re- serve. Between him and lite etep- daughter there existed a deep and genu- ine affection and sympathy, Both were, as I was secretly convinced, in awe of the little old "Diamond Queen;' Sledge's mother, who possessed 10 perfection the art of malting herself disagreeable and everyone about her uncomfortable. Lady Carchester never forgot and never omitted to remind her 080ond husband that she had been the widow of an earl and a millionaire When she stooped t0 marry him, and that aha was, more - 000r, possessed of twenty -flue thousand a year from her father. .TaokeOn's mind- les and Lorime•'s beer were things of recent consumption, oertalnly, while the T•lervey's went hack to Plantagenet times, and had fought and been en- nobled to the Wars of the Roses. nut for old descent, Lady Carchester, as she tersely expresb0d it, cared not a brass farthing," what a pack of nonsense. it le,' she would say, to fano oc a family holing �lent, as thouglhl ]Ilio cheese an wine, N..t1t4 »Aller €9r kve.elnsl e all d. e back Adam n 1, Ada and lgve 3 sU o o' 4 pp nU ! w7' if' o # t 11a tie men at tali e Y la �orai s' t q d O� cto fin4 o t flea Edr us WO Could all ]lave 11;14143.'1)g/1: amily out a mile tri NV' ht.

I have had very young girls of the same impressionable tem- perament under my care before, and have invariably found that regular hours of study, plenty- of open-air exer- cise, xe cise, a Well -occupied mind, and the con- stant, cheerful companionship of mem- bers of their own sex, have in a few months' time sufficed to dissipate any silly fancies of being 1n love, which may -have been previously formed in their untutored brains." This was a pretty strong hint to keep out of the way of Morland House, but it was one which I did not need, having already determined, for my own sake, as well as Lilith's, to give Clifton wide berth for at least a year. Mean- time, as two hundred a year made a hole In a thousand, it behooved me to work hard, the more so as I was resolved up- on accumulating a marriage portion, a that my pretty Lilith, on leaving school, should not find herself penniless upon the world, To speak the plain truth, I had.consic ere0 Mrs. Mot'land's request for a hun- dred and seventy-five pounds a year ra- ther unnecessarily high at first; but that lady was as plausible as she was plump, and she had so minutely explain- ed. to me the items of expenditure, from the services of the French, the Germs the Latin, the drawing, the music, the fencing, and the dancing and deportment masters, to such items as tennis -shoes and rackets, swimming costumes, dumb TO submit to a headache Is to waste energy, time and comfort.

It cannot be dented that Uncle Car - chaster, whose princely generosity and art -loving disposition had led him to more than live up to his moderate for- tune, had married Ietadge's mother, Lord Sandling'a widow, chiefly on ac- count of her wealth A lady with an in- come of something under two thousand a week is a temptation to a widower in the forties, with a position tokeep up on a few thousand a year But 1'f he had married for money, he had most cer- tainly been made to regret it, and, but It for istprobable thatbore the same stepdaughter, ould very seldom have sheltered at one and the same time my uncle and the 'Dia- mond Queen;' . On this particular night, Madge and he had, returned from dining with friends at Cowes, and had renounced the ball they had intended going to, on account of my uncle's health. Early that evening he had complained of fatigue, and Madge, who was all. that an affectionate daughter could be in her care of him, insisted on -coming back to • the 'yacht at ten 'o'clock. "You must be good and lie down," site said to him now, taking his arm and drawing him toward thesaloon door. And you ought to be taking your heart - tonic all this time. If you neglect my instructions, sir, in this disobedient Way, shall I tell you what I shall, dol" "What then?" She frowned and shook her finger, threateningly. Then sloe said, inan awe- inspiring whisper: I shall telegraph for manta." We both burst out laughing, but my uncle petitioned for a cigar on deck be- fore he turned in, and -Madge hastened to 1111 a deck -chair with cushions, and to bring him a little table, with his cigar -box and ash -tray upon it. And now I'll mix you a delicious iced whisky -and -soda, with a slice of lemon, just as you like it," she said, and rustled off, In search of the materials, in her trained silk evening gown, Lord Carchester loolted after her af- fectionately, 'It is astonishing that a girl like that should he—" he began, half -mus- ingly, thinking aloud, and then checked himself, and flushed slightly, Her mother's daughter—I know what you mean," I said quietly, But you must remember you only see the sweet- est side of her, Madge is a splendid girl, but she can make herself very dis- agreeable if she likea.e "I suppose you are too young, or too much absorbed in your work, really to. understand or appreciate her," he said, sighing, "This evening, for instance, she was the life and soul of tho dinner - party; only I knew what a bitter disap- pointment your abasenoe was to her,' My absence? She hardly asked me to come," - "Simply because she cannot bearmnak- ing you do anything distasteful to you. Adrian, how is ft that, with all your intelligence, you so entirely fall to un- derstand Madge? If I didn't know to the contrary, on my soul,'0 should think nothfng 0ould blind you t0 her fascin- ations but some unfortunate attachment lbr another woman." Re looked at me curiously as he spolce, and then pause as though to invite my confidence, But T smoked On In silence. In truth, there Was nothing to tell, for how could a romantic fond- ness for a girl S had only known a week —a little, unformed creature eleven. years rel Surlier—affect 1113' relations with Lady Madge? "Well," Lord Carchester said, at last Impatiently, "10 there another woman?". Yen know there is novo, sir," I re- turned, "but my cousin Madge. And hell she, Heinen." After waiting on her stepfather, site drew a their up beelde mine, , She Wad dreseed in biaolk satin, mode In the shape called 'Prineess,"aetyle T halo always admired on a good figure; end of the beauty of Madge's Agure there ooutd be no doubt, 'rile smooth) Arm Ivory -white slain of her baro deck and /shoulders showed through the nlnly w11to wrap she laud thrown Ioust, y about her; in her eat•a, .hair, and on her breast,- dttunund flrellles gleamed .1)171 sparkled, She Was a little tired, h,v a day of intense heat and un uninterrupt- ed series of festivities and flirtations, and nor dark eyes looked softer aid less ]hell than usual.

"I should think you must get heartily sick of compliments," I said, ignoring her 1'elllarlt, No woman ever gets sick of being told she 1s beautiful, Even 1f she knows it isn't true, she likes it. You thlnit I am very vain, Adrian; but, In real, sober earnest, there's only one man in the world whose admiration.. I should care for, and—and I am not in h15 style" She spoke bitterly, and there was a sound of tears in her voice. Before I could respond, she Went on again. "Adrian," she said, "when you have fully achieved tho brilllant success for which you have worked so well, and which I long for as much as you do, I wonder whether you will become a little less devoted to your art, and a little more devoted to me?" , I drew my chair closer to Hers, and took her soft, strong hands in mine, "Why, Madge," I said, "you are not in the least yourself to -night, You are quite soft and sentimental. I hope, dear, I shall be devoted to you and to my work together. Icertainly could never have accomplished even what I have without your help and encourage- ment. This yacht, with the chance it gave me of making those Mediterranean studies, has been invaluable to me, and Your belief 1n me has been still more." "Then I have really been of some use?" Of some use? lily dearest Madge, you have been invaluable to 111e." She Ieaned toward me s0 that her shoulder touched mite, and looked up in 111y eyes in a wistful, eager WaY quite new to her. "I ant so glad to hear you say that," she murmured; "for during the past years, on the few occasions when I have seen you between your sea trips, I have fancied--' "What?" "Fancied that something more 'than your absorption in your art had come between us, and made you more coldly ]rind than ever." How could you think such a thing?" I asked, the more Warmly as my con- science secretly confirmed her accusa- tion. "You Must Indeed suppose me un- feeling and ungrateful—" But at that unlucky word she started up, all softness gone from her face and manner, and, with a little hard laugh, moved away from me. Ungrateful," she repeated. "OH, no, the idea never occurred to me. I had not expected gratitude. It Is not a quality usually offered to me. I have admira- tion. affection, even love—or what is called love—offered me every day by more impressionable and less art -loving persons than yourself, Adrian. No doubt it is for my money, What else And with that she swept scornfully should they see in mo? So YOU would •say, at least, as I am not your style. But gratitude is an. offering' I don't ex- pect even Orem so well regulated a per- son as you]" away, and, a good deal to my surprise, my uncle Carchester opened his eyes, sat up In his chair, stretched himself, and rose, tatting Madge's wrap carefully Oil Isis arm, "I must say, Adrian," he observed, as he passed me, "that you're a bad hand at matting love. Also, you don't In the least understand your Cousin Madge," CHAPTER XIII, A month later I took the train for Bristol, resolved upon paying a -surprise Visit to the Morland I-Iouse establish- ment for "finishing" young, ladies of neglected education. In six months I should be married to Madge, and I knew her well enough to be quite sure she would brook no rival, and that, however fanciful and platonic my attachment to Lilith might be, it must be banished to the limbo of a bachelor's dead loves, never to be re- suscitated. After our wedding it had been settled that we should, go for three ]months' cruise in northern fiords, so that ourretarn to London would precede by only a few weeks the termination of Lilith's two years at Morland House. After that date the girl's future would be my wife's care and not mine, as I knew well; for, although I had so far never given Madge the slightest cause for jealousy, I was pretty certain that she could be transferred into a veritable Cynlsca if confronted with a rival.

The word in connection with Madge aroused in me no enthusiasm, and for more than a year something like a dull regret. On every land I received con- gratulations. A beauty, an heiress, a brilliant, fascinating, and gifted woman, the daughter of an earl,., and the well- beloved adopted child of the head of 111y house—the thought of winning such a bride should have made my heart leap in anticipative joy; yet it seemed to be irreaponsive as lead within me, As Madge had said herself, with bitter truth, she was not my style." I ad- mired' her, laked her,. esteemed- her; but I cherished deep in my mind the me- mory of my little martin -fatty's kisses, and valuedthem a thousand times more highly than all Lady Madge's generosity and discriminating encouragement.

When ]logs aro 'handled in large numbers or where twenty or more brood Sows are ]kept, a hoghouse large enough to accommodate the majority of the stock is .often found. This system has the advantage of enabling the breeder to handle his hogs with less expenditure of labor and time than is possible if they are scattered over a larger area. When such a house seems desir- able, it may be cheap and simple in construction, but should be conveni- ent. It should run east and west, and is most easily arranged with a row of pens on each side of an alley - Way which extends the entire length of the building. The walls may be of one -inch matched siding, but sho]]]d fit very close in order to pre- vent draughts. The roof should be moderately high, to provide suf- ficient ventilation. Quite a num- ber of windows should be installed in order to provide sufficient sun- light to keep the pens dry and free from disease. The pens should bo 7x8 or, for large sows, 8x10 feet, There are many things to be said in favor of individual houses. First of all, the hogs can be scattered more, thus lessening the ehanees of disease spreading through .the en- tire herd. Secondly. fields and pas- tures may be utilized regardless of their location or proximity to other farm buildings. Third, such build- ings are quite inexpensive, and the number can be increased as the herd increases in size. There are many types of these houses. For a single sow the A type is usually built Gx8 by G feet high. The rectangular type is built 7x8 for one sow, or 9x12 and divid- ed into two compartments. Those with the higher roof and with pro- visions for opening either the sides or the roof have so far proved the most satisfactory. Let Dairy heifer Mature. A step toward success in build- ing up your dairy herd is in not breeding any heifer until she is nearly or quite two years old. Let the heifer grow and make her body as large and her constitution as strong as she can before the de- mands of motherhood and of a milk producer are placed on her. We realize that there are those who willtellus that the dairy quali- ties will be lost or injured by ill's delay, Nonsense! You have only to see the injury that has been done by breeding too young, You have only to notice the weak, frail, und- der-sized creatures on the average dairy farm that they call cows and realize how easily these are subject to tuberculosis and every other ill that bovine flesh is heir tb when the full importance of our claim will appear. The leading cause of all this trouble is breeding the heifers too young and the balance can be charg- ed ,to inbreeding. We need not make either mistake. Which ever dairy breed you select do not in- breed and do not breed any heifer under two years of ago, Roots. Roots are excellent feed for dairy cows and are especially de- sirable far the fall and early winter as they are palatable, easy to di- gest and stimulate Ithe flow of milk, They are especially effective' ` with cows that freshened in the spring and whose flow of milk has been depressed during the sumnher be- cause of annoyance by flies and mosquitoes and unfavorable pas- ture conditions. If such are given a liberal supply of roots when brought to stall feeding, the flow of milk is often materially increased. Less grain is required while roots are being fed. The change from roots to more grain should be made gradually, adding ,grain at the rate of one pound for sten pounds of roots withdrawn. PEARLS OF TRUTH.
