, Or "The A dverifures of Ledgard."
By the Author Of "What He Cost Her."
CHAPTER XIX.
Ernestine founcl a letter on her
plate a few mornings afterwards
which rather puzzled her, It was
from a firm of solicitors in Lincoln's
Inn—the Eastchester family solicit-
ors—requesting her to call that morn-
ing. to see them on import tent business.
There was not a hint as to the nature
of it, merely a eceinal line or two
and a signature. Ernestine, who had
written insulting letters to all her re-
latives during the last few days; smil-
, ed as she laid it down. Perhaps the
I family had called upon Mr. Cuthbert
to undertake their defehee and bring
her eound to a reasonable view of
things. The idea was amueing
• enough, but her first itnpulse was not
to go. Nothing but the combination
of an idle morning. and a certain meas-
ure of curiosity, induced her to keep
the appointment.
- She was evidently expected, for she
was phown at once ieto the private of-
fice of the senior partner. The clerk
who ushered her in pronounced her
name indistinctly, and the elderly man
who rose from his chair at her en-
trance looked at her inquiringly.
"I am Miss Wendermott," she sale,
coming forward. .Yr had a letter from
you this morning.; you wished to see
me, I believe."
Mr. Cuthbert dropped at once his
eyeglass aud his inquiring gaze, and
held out his hand.
"My dear Miss Wendermott," he
said,. "you must pardon the failing
eyesight of an old man. To be sure
you are, to be sure. Sit down, Miss
Weriderznott, if you please. Dear me,
what a' likeness!" '
"You mean to my father?" she
asked quietly.
"To your father, certainly, poor,
dear old boy! You must excuse me,
Miss Wendermott. Your father and
I were at Eton, together, and I think
I may say that we were always
something more than lawyer and
elient—a good deal more a good deal
more! Ile was a fine fellow. Mess e
me, to think that you are his daugh-
ter!"
"It's very nice to hear you speak of
him so, Mr. Cuthbert," she said. "My

STONEHENGE AT AUCTION.
Author Refers to It as the Second
Wonder of England.
• Stonehenge, the most remarkable
prehistoric monument of England, is
included in the Amesbury Abbey
estate in Wiltshire, vehich is to be
sold at auction this fall. The first
British author to make unmistakable
mention of Stonehenge is Henry of
Huntingdon, who wrote in the twelfth
century. He refers to it as the sec-
ond wonder of England, and calls it
Stanenfges, or "hanging stones."
Geoffrey of Monmouth wrote of it
about the same time, and so did the
Welsh historian, Giraldus Cambeensis.
The outer circle of thirty upright
stones, which formerly stood fourteen
feet above the ground, has a diameter
of about one hundred feet, and within
it, in a horseshoe curve, there origin-
ally were five, or, as some think,
seven huge trilithoes—a trilithon is
two stone uprights carrying a lintel --
that from northeast to southwest rose
progressively in height until they
reached twenty-five feet above the
ground. About one-half of the up-
rights have fallen. While raising one
of them in 1901, the workmen found
numerous flint axe heads and large
stone hammers at a depth of from
two to three and one-half feet under-
ground—a discovery that goes to
prove the great antiquity of the
monument. Sir Norman Lockyer,
who studied the orientation of Stone-
henge, on the assumption that it has
been set up as a solar temple, con-
cluded that the date of its foundation
was 1680 B.C.
HOW SANDSTONES DIFFER.
Unlike in Composition Are Our Sands
of Which They Are Composed.
Decomposed rock can be solidified
again either by applying great pees -
sure or by injecting cement, or by
doing both. Thu e sands are formed
nto sandstones, clays become shales,
and calcareous deposits yield lime-
stone. Aside from their cementing
matei•ials, sandstones differ in compo-
sition exactly as did the sands of
which they are composed. • Sandstone
may be nearly pure quartz, or mime?,
and feldspai, or quartz, feldspar, and
mica, and it may vary in texture feign
he fine to the coarse. Some sancl-
tone ie se coarse that it will hold
ix quarts of water to the cubic foot,
nd underground deposits of such
andetone form excellent reservoirs,
vhich ntay yield a never -failing sup-
ly of water. An arkose sandstone

omnia, made up of granite detritus,
'vas found to contain quartz, ortho-
lase, obligoelase, biotite, muscovite,

ine and apatite. In short, all the
oek-forming ininerals that can in any
way survive the destruetion or grincl-
ng up of a _rock may be found in
ands, and therelore, in sandstones.

"The Earl," he said, "was a very
proud man—a very proud man." T
"You -may call it pride," she ex-
claimed. "I call it rank and brutal
selfishness! They had no right to
force such a sacrifice upon him. He `a'
would have been content, I am sure, t
to have lived quietly in England—to

"So Mr. Davenant told inee" she
said. "I can't quite forgive yon, Mr. h

be so shamefully imposed upon, but f„
of course I don't blame you as I do
the others. I am only thankful that e
I have made myself independent of
my relations. I think, after the let-
ters which I wrote to them last night
they will be quite content to let me
remain where they put my father --
outside their lives."
"I had heard," M7'. Cuthbert said
hesitatingly, "that you were following
some occupation. Something literary,
is it not?"
"I am aejournaliste" Ernestine an-
swered promptly, "and I'm proud to
say that I am earning my own living."
He loolted her with a fine and
wonderful curiosity. In his way he
was quite as much one of the old
school as the Earl of Eastchester, and
the idea of a lady—a Wendermott, too
—calling herself a journalist and
proud of making a few hundreds a
year was amazing enough to him. He
scarcely knew how to answer her.
"Yes, yes," he said, "you have some an
st
of your father's spirit, some of his
pluck too. And that reminds me—
we wrote to you to call."
"Mr. Davenant has told you that
your father was engaged in some en-
terprise with this wonderful Mr. Sear -
lett Trent, when he died."
"Yes! He told me that!"
"Well, I have had visit just,. re-
cently from that gentleman, It seems
that your father when he was dying
spolce of his daughter in England,
and Mrs. Trent is very anxious now to
(ind you out, and speaks of a large
sum of money which he wishes to in-
vest in your name."
"He has been a long time thinking
about it," Ernestine remarked.
He explained that,' Mr. Cuthbert
continued; "in this way. Your father
gave him our address when he was
dying, but the envelope on whieh it
was written got mislaid, and he only
came across it a day or two ago. He
came to see me at once, and he seems
prepared to act very handsomely. He
pressed very hard indeed for your
name and address, but I did not feel
at liberty to disclose them before see- '
ing you.
"You were quite right, Mr. Cath- ,
beet," she answered. "I suppose this '
is the reason why Mr. Davenant has
just told me the •whole miserable
story."
"It is one reason," he admitted,
"but in any case I think that Mr. Day- '
enant had made up his mind that you
should know," •
"Mr. Trent suppose, talks of this
money as:a present to me?"
"He did not speak. of it in that
why," Mr. Cuthbert answered, "but in
a sense that is; of course, what it
amounts to. At the same time I
should like to say that under the pet
cellar circumstances of the case I
should consider you altogether justi-
fied in accepting it."
Ernestine drew herself up. Once
more in her finely flashing eyes and
resolute air the lawyer was renainded
o o friend.
"I will tell you what I should call
it, Mr. Cuthbert," she said, "I will tell
you what I believe it is! It is blood.

She walked through the crowde
streets homewards, her nerves ting
ling and her pulses throbbing wit
excitement. She was conscious o
having somehow ridded herself of
load of uncertainty and anxiety. Sh
was committed now at any rate to
definite course. There had been mo
ents of indecision—moments in Wind
she had been inclined to revert t
her first -impressions of the man

CHAPTER XX.
Ernestine walked from Lincoln's
Inn to the office of the Hour, where
she stayed until nearly four. Then,
having finished her day's) work, she
made her way homeward. Davenant
was tvaiting for her in her rooms. She
greeted him with some surprise.
You told me that I might come to
tea," he reminded her. "If you're ex-
pecting any one else, or I'm in the
way, don't mind saying so, please!"
She shook her head.
"I'm certainly not expecting any
one," she said. "To tell you the truth
my vieiting-list is a very small one;
scarcely any one knows where I live.
Sit down, and I will ring for tea."
He looked at ber curiously. "What
a color you have, Ernestine!" he re-
marked. "Have you been walking
fast?"
She laughed softly, and took off
her hat,. straightening the wavy
brown hair, which had escaped bounds
a little, in front, of the mirror. She
looked at herself long and thought-
fully at the delicately cut but strohg
features, the clear, grey eyes and
finely arched eyebrows, the curving,
humorous mouth and dainty chin,
Davenant regarded her in amaze-
.
"Why, Ernestine," he exclaimed,
"are you taking stock of your good
looks?"
"Precisely what I am doing," she
anewered laughing. "At that moment
was wondering whether I possessed
'If you will allow me," he said, "to
take the place of the rnirror, I think
that 1 could give you any assurances
you required."
She shook her head.
You might be more flattering,"
she said, but you would be less faith-
ful."
Ho remained standing upon the
hearthrug. tlimetine returned to the
mirror.
"May I ask," he asked, "for whose
sake is this sudden anxiety about
your appearstnee?",
She turned away and sat in a low
chair, her hands clasped, behind her
head, her eyes fixed on vacancy,
"I have been wondering," she said,
AN INGENIOUS WATER COOLER.
Butter and Other Things Kept Cool
In ,Summer.
Pierre Lord has discovered that an
ordinary flowerpot can be utilized to
keep butter, water, and other things
cool during the hottest of summer
days.
• An ordivary flowerpot will serve
the purpose well, in fact any clay jar,
or common unglazed earthenware pot,
will answer. All that is necessary is
to moisten a cloth with strong salt
water ancl keep it over the top of the
flowerpot. The ends should drop
down into a soup dish or basin in
which the flowerpot should stand.
This draining dish must be kept full
of water all the time, A dark, cool
pantry is a good place in which to
keep the clay pot or jar.
Another way is to wrap a layer of
burlap round a porous jar. The wa-
ter is placed in the jar and exposed
to a current of air on a dark window
sill, with the windows open and the
shutters closed. The water inside the
porous receptacle percolates in a mi-
croscopic moisture to the outer sur-
face. The burlap wrapping maintains
such a slow rate of evaporation that
the pot is kept cold, ancl that cools
the contents.
Funeral Under Fire.
Brigadier McKenzie, of the Salva-
tion Amy, who is `one of the chap-
lains with the Australian forces at
the Dardanelles, has frequently been
under fire. He conducted the burial
service at the interment of Colonel
Onslow Thefnson's remains. "It was
very gratifying to find our colonel's
body," he writes. "We buried it at
nine o'clock, after dark, as it lay in
an exposed position. I had to kneel
temen and keep my head and body in
a crouching position while reading the
burial service. Hundreds of bullets
swept over us while this was going
on."
