Danvers was on the ter. race. whispering in the moonlight to Judith, and be bad no other course open than to sit and talk to Lady Glaucourt, who, because she knew who he was, found it very difficult to talk to him, not knowing whether it was better to conciliate him, or to treat Trim with rudeneee. It wee dreadfully unfortun- ate that Frawley should have happened upon just this man of all .otbere to bring to evlaycourt et such a moment. It was es like a man. In old days she had often besought him to bring men down, end he never did; now to -night, waren they had purposely asked no one, ae they ue. wally did all through the month of Ate gust, when they had, so to epeak kept Danvers under leek and key, away froth everyone, Prewley brought tete very man he sbouldn't.

Lord Glaucourt had tnoieted on Joining the women. ., "It ie Danvers' last night, and I think we had better be all together," he said. And immediately the difficulty had be- gun. Judith had a horror of any wit- nesses to her 00urtehiip.

Presently the men, all four, wandered out on to the terrace to smoke, and Ju- dith, simply in despair, sat down to the piano. She had an exquisite touch, and bad been beautifully taught, but lately, she had hardly touched her music, It gave her too mu0h pain. The sound of the music seemed an invitation to her lov. erand he returned. "Play that again;' he said, leaning over the end of the piano, and Judith let her fingers wander over the keys. How perple:0d she was, how perplexed. And while the played, Denver: murmured something now and again. Thee day three weeks, Judith, do you know . , Suddenly she stopped playing. Glover was standing in the window watching them, a cigarette between hie finers. "How extraordinarily shy she tee " Dan. vers :said to himself. Danvers had tak- en rather a fancy to Glover, as people did at first, till they knew him. Ire walked 00 to him, making a oaeual remark, Glover stewed book on to the e terrace and Danvcre stepped out on to w it.

She would give him the last bour, bot w11y the dickens hadn't Frew - ley asked that fellow Glover intend of him? It was past midnight when they finish- ed their game, and Frawley had forgot- ten all about his Meter. So had Danvers, now and then, only to remember her 4n flashes when he lifted his eyes to the- elcc'ic on the mantelpiece. Every mo- ment 110 expected her to come into -the b111fard room and fetch him. He wad visibly annoyed, and Prewley wondered what on earth she was saying to Glover, what all the Suss was about.

When the game 'wee finished, the two men wandered into the dvawiag-room again. It was deserted. Lord Gleveourt had gone to the library to write letters. and Lady Glaueourt had gone to bed, thankful that Frewloy was there to chaperone his sister. And apparently Ju- dith had gone to bed too, Danvsns thought it very odd of her on his last night. Had he offended her that after- noon? No, itseemed to him that they had never got on better. Judith had been very much more affectionate the Met two dare, and 'brighter, more full of fun, and verticui-a.rly bright at dinner. But ho had seen Glover lean forward and whisper to her, and like all :len who are in love, his jenlouey was easily aroused, and hie perception quickened, on the Mem. Both men were „silent as they Pt cigars on the terrace. Frawley felt quite certain that she hadn't gone to bed and Danvers was annoyed because he thought she hod done so.

"At what time do you go in the morn- ing?" Frawley asked presently; tho ques- tion. had beenrompted by a thought very like ons wphieh wee :passing through Danven3' 'brain.

If Judith was still there. it was better 'that Danvers shouldn't know it, He always had a'feet- ing of doubt as to what Judith was do. tae. Then a man's voice rang out clear on the stillness: "You'll have to marry .me, my lady, when that fellow Danvers knows," Timely Spraying. Especial pains should be taken to destroy the eggs as well as the winter flies of the pear psylla, as effective work greatly reduces the number of eggs deposited on the trees. In early spring while the insects are able to crawl they are very sluggish in their movements. This habit makes them very vulnerable to treatment and Mlle grower should take full advantage of it by so spraying tlhat none of the insects be allowed to escape. It is etwsen-, tial to wet thoroughly all portions of the trees and especial care should be taken to force the liquid under the Loose bark and into all the cracks and crevices in the bark. One tree should be thoroughly sprayed before proceeding to an- other, for in balmy weather the flies may dodge quickly to the opo°- site side of the tree. In planning this work, be sure ko select days when there is no danger of the spraying mixture freezing on the trees. The eggs about to hatch and the young nymphs suecumlb easily to an application of lime -sulphur mix- ture. In this lies a very important hint to the fruit'grower. The eggs of the psylla are laid principally during April and commence to hatch early in May or when the blossom cluster-ibuds are beginning to separate ab the tips. Mostgrow- ere spray mush earlier than this for the San Jose scale, :but by post- poning the treatment of pear orch- ards until the blossom clusters are well advanced one may deal an ef- fective blow against the psylla and with the same treatment success- fully eomba the steals. The spray should be used in liberal quantities and pains should be exercised to wet all portions of the tree, espe- cially the fruit spurs and the under sides of the young wood where most of the eggs are laid.—H. Hodgkins, New York. Proper Distance for Planting. Standard apples, 30 feet apart each way. .Standard pear and strong grow- ing cherries, twenty feet apart each way. Duke and Morcello cherries, eighteen feet apart. Prunes, plums, apricots, peaches, nectarines, siwteen to twenty feet apart. Dwarf pears, ten to .twelve feet each way. Dwarf apples, ten to twelve feet each way. Grapes, rows ten to fifteen feet apart, seven to sixteen feet an rows. Good Horse Sense. - A horse should not be watered immediately _after being fed grain. Idle horses should'nat be fed too much grain. Have the horses' teeth examined once a year. Do not continually dose your horse; keep him well by proper care. Horses cannot be kept in a thriving condition If they are com- pel1•ed to get all their living from the straw stack. Do not ohan,ge the grain ration abruptly. Age of Brood Sows. A good brood sow may :be kept until seven or eight years old with profitable results. They need a great variety of food while oarry'ng their young and a good deal of nourishing food with some milk while the pigs suck. Sows that have not hada balanced ration are quite apt to eat their pigs when they come aiong. The growing of the pigs has robbed the sow s sys- tem and she has a craving appetite. Give a nourishing diet with son; Silver°loss LAUNDRY STARCU means perfect starching, whether used for sheer ' Laces, dainty Dimities,deli- cate fabrics, Lace Curtains or Table Linens.

To a "T." "That fits to s 'T' " is a well- known saying, although its origin may be a little obscure, it is assert- ed by graphologists that at person's character can be read not only from their handwriting, but from the manna' in which they foam the let- ter "T" alone. It is claimed that the vertical line represents the fatality of life, while the horizontal bar across it is the influence whish the human will exercise over that fantaulity, It is, moreover, asserted that the higher or the lower that any writer erasses his "t" is an infallible guide to the amount of ideality which exists in his nature. The lower portion of the letter corresponds to the pnac- tical and material part of one's oharacte'r, while the higher tibe horizontal bar is made—and some- times it is even above the vertical line the more artistic is the tem- perament. The optimist crosses his "t's" with a line sloping up- ward, as it were, from the earth to the sky ; but the poet is often above the line—in other words, his thoughts are in the heavens. Whether there is anything in this —who knows? Examine your own writing and see.
