And Philip loved 011 rla He had told ber so and she bad lis tened Willi pleasure ami made him hap py by ber answer. It had leaked out in the usual way, and people' bad talk d and commented on It.

Next morning early she went down town and Wit busy ail day, but she came home in the evening wilh a ra!l a.nt face am! a sprightly step in spite of the long day's work, for there was a great jny in her heart. Ir was nearly a week before she saw Philip again, and meanwhile things had gone very badly with him. iier heart smote her as she beheld his worn and troubled countenance. All the life ami hope had gone out of it. She rose to meet him as he walked unsteadily across the floor. "Olivia," he said. "I have come to tell you something something that it al most kills me to say. May God grant that it may not cause yon the pain to bear that it does me to speak It" He paused a moment and bowed his bead in bis hands. There were tears In bis eyes. "I have loved .sou well." he went on, "and heaven knows that I have tried to Io all In my iiower to make myself worthy of you, but either unwisdom or misfortune has undone me and I am going to give you back your freedom. I have no right to ask you to wait lon ger upon me and 1 cannot marry you now, for, unless there Is a change by to-morrow night. 1 shall have to make an assignment." "I aiu so thankful, Philip, that It is nothing worse than that. I don't want uiy freedom back. Your success or fail ure can neither kill nor affect mv lore." "But I will not sacrifice you, my dar ling." "And you need not" She pressed something into bis band and he flushed crimson as ne iookcu at It. It was money, in large bills and small; enough to put him on bis feet again ami give him a start But he held it out to her. "Take it back. Olivia!" he cried. "I will not consent to use your money!" "It Is not my money. It Is money procured upon the stock of 'Robinson & Co., milliners. " He looked up in surprise. "Oh, Philip, can you forgive my de celt?" she cried. "My heart was so set on that store that I bought it In moth er's maiden name; and it has prosper ed. I know It was wrong, after prom ising you, but can't you let the good it will do atone for the wrong?" "Don't talk that way about It, Oli via: I was a blind bigot and you have just shown me how blind I was. I will accept your loan If you can tmst It In to the hands of such a blind blunderer as I am." "I shall be only too glad to trust you If you can trust me after my deceit," said Ollvla.Chlcago News. The Kiddle of the (Id.

To restore Blenheim the new duchess paid f "iKi.iifiO.-or, rather, she got luto debt for that sum.

Women with florid complexions look their ts-st In plum ami heliotrope, also In those grays which contain a tinge of pink and In red browns.

Smith, Iu American Agricultur ist Sweet Potato I'lanta. The bedding of seed sweet polatis's In spring Is quite a simple affair, yet It is highly Important, in order to get the tiest results, that It be done right and well done tit that. Make an ordi nary hotbed with any rapidly ferment ing manure, directs Farm News, level it down, raking the top even; pile down your potatM in center 'if bod, then place them carefully, one potato at a time, as close as possible without them actually touching one another. Then put above them six Inches of loose. dry earth, woods-mould preferred. Tin. larger potatoes may be spilt In two, lengthwise, aud laid cut side down, among the others. Water the beds every week (washing dayl with good strong soapsjds, the stronger and dirt ier they are the better for the potatoes. If a crust forms or bakes ou the sur face, keep It well fined (broken up) by band. Dou't have less than six Inches of mellow earth above them, or your slips may ls too short to set out well. Never set out the slips In very wet weather, puddling the roots or water lug them. If you water them, pour a little water In the hole with the slips, then fill in on top with dry earth. Let tsnheniling (jo Down Deep. The deeper we can penetrate down Into the soli with the plow the more plant food we can draw up, .md the greater quantity of water we can store (here. Every rain storm now avails us very little, If the bard pan Is formed a ftsit below the surface. It soon ruus off, and dlsnpiM-nr. The plant food that Is buried up In the hard pan can not be ntilized by the roots of the crops, and a great deal of bss Is experienced Iu Ibis way. The question of Invent. ng a plow that will penetrate from two li three feet below the surface and stir tho S'iII up thoroughly every spring Is very Important, and one that will have a direct bearing upon the future of our agriculture. Meanwhile, we must break up the bard pan beneath our plowed fields the best wo can. Our present subsoil plows partly solve the diffi culty, am! many of them run so hard that it almost requires ateam to hntil them across a field of ordinary com pactness. Crows nd Growing Corn.

Many old races, w hen kept pu -e, are really fine In appearance and valuable in productive qualities; but often when two pure old races are -rossed, the product of the union of the two seems, after the first cross, not so productive as either of the parent breeds, and the spjiearance of the cross Is coarse, never to be depended on for any spe cially desired points. The Illustrations that accompany this article present por traits of two old races of geese- tha F.mbden, the famous giw.se of the Ger mans, and the Toulouse, the splendid French breed, both grifturnoes when kept true. In the third s,';Ja.re la shown a sjus'lmeu which suggati coarsely put together, the points of? both, and probably the result of cross ing both races. It falls to show Ihe characteristics of the breed, and we should Judge would make it farmer jioor, though it might win mony for fanciers. Kettinif Kernes In Spring. Spring is the best time to make fences of any kind. The ground Is soft for digging the holes In which to set posts, ami after they are set there Is tlma for the soli to compact before winter. If posts are set in the fall It Is very bard to keep the fence straight during the first winter, as the posts will be lifted by freezing or bliwu over by heavy winds in early spring. When frost Is out of the soil the best made fall fence will need more or less earu. It Is better to leave the making of the fence until spring. It can be done lie fore the soil is fit to be plowed or work ed In any way, and when other work Is not pressing. A Double l!orrahoe. The accompanying cut lllnstrates a shoe that Is specially adapted to horsea for training and racing. It Is mada In two sections, one light the other heavier. The light section is perma nently nailed to the hoof, rind the heavy section is put on while the horse is In training. It not only gives the weight desired In training, but preserves tha mi noriif.a iioKsksnoK. sharp edge of the light section, which is needed to prevent slipping. It ia claimed that this Invention will also lessen the expense of shoeing, rendering It unnecessary to change as often as Is done with the old style shoe. Ihe Illustration Is taken from the Scientific American. Arkultnr a Sclnicr. The science of agriculture Is in a great degree founded ou experience.
