It showed toe thal. so ft.' from undcrslandlng her completely, a* I hud vainly fopposed to b« the erse I really knew Imle or nothing about | her. There were depths In her mini | lhat I had not fathomed, and In all . probability never should fathom. 1 had taken her fer an open-hearted wo man of great Intellectual capacity that removed her far above ihe every-day level of her sex. and direct'd her am bitions almost entirely toward the goal j of mental triumph. Now I saw that the diagnosis mum be modified. In all her outburst there had not been one single word of pity for my heavy mis fortune*. or one word of sympathy with the self-sac rlflee whbh she must have j known Involved a dreadful struggle between my Inclinations and m.v con- i science. She had looked at ihe matter ; from her own point of view, and the ; standpoint of her own Interest solely Her emotion had for a few moments [ drawn the curtain from her inner self, and the new peraonallty that was thus revealed did not alt of *1 her edify me Still, 1 fell that there was great esruae j for her, and ao put by the matter After this unfortunate occurrence, 1 made up my mind that Fanny would take aome opportunity to throw up her • work and go away and irate us, but ahe did not take fhia com ae Kit her tiecauae ahe waa too fond of my pool boy John, who. as he grew older. Ire- j came more and more attached to her, or because ahe aaw no better opening — not being poaacaaed of Independent i means she evidently made up her | mind to atop on in the bouae and con- 1 tlnue to devote heraelf to the search for i the greal Secret of Life. 1 tblnk m> aelf that It was mainly on account of i the boy, who loved her with an entire!> that at tiroes almost alarmed me. and to whom ahe was undoubtedly devoted. | But from that time a change came over Fanny's mental attitude towards me, which waa aa palpable aa It was indefinable Outwardly there was no j change, but In reality a veil fell be- j tweon ua. through which I could not j see. It fell and covered up her nature; | nor could 1 gueaa what went on be- J hind 1L Only 1 knew that ahe devel oped a strange habit of brooding allent- t ly about matters not connected with our work, and that, of all thla brood ing. nothing ever aeemed to come. Now I know that ahe waa building up far reaching plana for the future, which had for their object her eacape from what she had come to consider waa a hateful and unprofitable condition of •ervltude. Meanwhile our work advanced but slowly. 1 could take anybody who la curioua to the big Arc-proof cheat In the corner of thla very room, and show him two hundred-weight or more paper covered wun aooruve ca.icuia.uon* worked by Fanny, and equally abortive letter-press written by myw-lf during those year* of incesaant labor. In vain we tolled: Nature would not give up her secret to us! We had indeed found the lock, and fashioned key after key to turn it- But. do what we would, and file as we would, they would none of them fit. or, even If they fitted, they would not turn. And then we would begin again again, after months of la bor. to fall miserably. During these dark years I worked with the energy of despair and Fanny followed, doggedly, patiently, and un complainingly in my step* Her work was splendid in it* enduring Impel*** nesa. To begin with, so far as 1 was concerned, though roj disease made but little visible progress I feared that my sand »»» running out. and that none would he able to take up the broken thread* Therefore 1 worked as timer work whose time is abort and who have much to do Then toe, I was haunted by the dread of ultimate failure Had 1. after all. given up my life to a dream* At last, however a ray at light came as It always - yes always win %o timer who are strong and patient and watch ths shy long enough I ana sitting in my arm -chair smok tag one night after Fanny had gunr to next and tell mt<» n arm of done to want up wmh a start and an ins pirn non I saw ii nil no* a* gad nee* working at the wrwag and searching tor the routs among the twig* of tih* greet trees' i think that 1 Was really inspired that nigh: as anger and breathed s» hr » ■> sleep At ae> mt*.

A’ CHAPTER V. ETWKEN two or three months after wo had alarted on this new course, I iccelved a letter from a Isdy, a dis tant cousin of my own, whom 1 had known slightly many yours before, asking me to do her a service Not v Hhounding what they considered my Insane deviation from the beaten paths that lead or may lead lo wealth and social aiiceess, my relatives still occa sionally wrote to me when they thought 1 could be of any use lo them, In this care the lady, whose name was Mr*. IHde-Tlic.mpeon, had an only son aged twenty-eight, who was already In pos session of verly large i slates and a con siderable fori line In personality. Ills name was or rather Is, Joseph; and as he was an only child. In the event of w hose death all the landed' property would pass lo some distant Thompson without ine mile, tit* existent** more valuable In ihe eyes of a diecern Ittg world than that of moat Josephs. Joseph, It appeared from his moth er's letier, had fallen Into a very had stale of health. He had, It seemed, been a ''little wild." and she was there fore very anxious alrout him The lo cal doctor, for Joseph lived In the prov inces when he was not living In town, In the stronger sense of the word, stat ed that he would do well to put him self under regular medical care for a month or so. Would 1 lake him In? The expense would of course be met She knew I hat I kepi up a warm Inter est In my relations, and was so very r lever, although unfortunately I hail abandoned active practice, Then fol- 1 lowed a couple of sides of note-paper full of the symptom* of the young man's disorders, which did not seem to me to be of a grave nature. I threw thl* letter across the table to Fanny without making any remark, and she read It attentively through. "Well." she said, "what are you going to do?" "I>o," 1 answered, peevishly; "see the people further first! 1 have got other things to attend to." "I think you are wrong," she an swered, In an indifferent voice; "this young man Is your relation, and very rich. I know that be has at least eight thousand a year, and one should alwaya do a good turn to people with so much money. Also, what he would pay would be very useful to us. I as sure you. that 1 hardly know bow to make both ends meet, and there I* twenty-seven pounds to pay the Frenchman who collected those returns for you In the Darts hospitals; he ha* written twice for the money.” 1 reflected. What she said about the twenty-seven pounds was quite true— 1 certainly did not know where to look for It. There wa* a vpare room In the HiHinr, ©ini I'M'iMHny t ur ^-11* tleman was inoffensive. If he was not. he could go, "Very well," I said, “he can come If he like*; but I warn you, you will have to amuse him' 1 shall attend to his treatment, and there will be an end of It." She looked up quickly. "It is not ' much in my line, unless he cares fat | mathematics," she answered. "I have seen five men under fifty here, during the last five years—exactly one a year. ! However, I will try.” A week after this conversation, Mr .Joseph Hide-Thompson arrived, care fully swaddled in costly furs. He was a miserable Utile specimen of humani j ty- thin, freckled, weak-eyed, and with ! straight, sandy hair. But 1 soon found l out that he was sharp sharp as a fer J ret. On his arrival. Just before dinner 1 had some talk with him about hn ailments As 1 bad expected, he had nothing serious the matter with him and was only suffering from indulgence I in a mode of life to w hich his feeble toast Uutian was not adapted. ■'There is no need for you to come J to stay here, you know," i said * All ! you want is to lead a quiet life, and •void wine and late hours If you dc that you will soon get well."

It turned out aftei ! ward that he had twen under (ha lm preMlnn that Ml** Denelly waa an el ■lerly housekeeper. At dinner, howev er, he recovered hla equilibrium an began to chatter away about all sort of thing*, with a sort of low elevernes which wa* rather amusing, though confess that being old-fashioned, could not keep pace with It. Fanny however, entered Into hi* talk In i manner which astonished me. I ha no Idea that her mini) waa at> versatile or that »he knew anything about hll Hard* and hone-raring, or even Frencl novel*. At ten o'clock I told Mr. Joseph hi had better begin hi* cure by going ti lied, and this he did reluctantly enough When he had gone. I naked Fanny wha she thought of him! ' Think of him!" she answered, look Ing up, for she waa plunged In one o : her reverie* "Oh! I think that ho li n mixture between u fox and a foil and the ugliest little man I ever saw!' I laughed at this rompilinentarj I summary, and we set to work. After the first evening I neither saw nor heard much of Mr. Joseph, excep at meals. Fanny looked after him, an. ; when she w as at work he amused him self by silting In an arm-chair ant! ! reading French novel* In a i ranslatlon for preference. Once he asked permis sion to come In and sen u* work, and after about half an hour of It he went saying II wa* awfully clever, but "all rot, you know,” and that he hail much better devote our talents to mAklng books on the Derby. Il| HU . I* Ulill fti'U r a u »i„t , in n of withering contempt, when the door had closed on him; and that w»« the only opinion I heard her express with reference to him till the catastrophe came. One morning, when Joseph had l>een with tie about a fortnight, having been at werk very late on the previous night, and feeling tired and not tot) well, I did not come down to breakfast till ten o'clock. I'sually, wo breakfasted <*t half-part eight. To my surprise, I found that the tea v.as not made, and that Fanny had apparently not yet had her hreakfaat. This was a most unu sual occurrence, and while 1 was still wondering what it could mean, she came Into the room with her bonnet and cloak on. "Why, my dear Fanny!” I said, "where on earth have you been?" "To church." she answered, coolly, with a dark little smile. "What have you been doing there?" I ask' I again. "Getting married," was the reply. 1 gasped for breath, and the room seemed to swim round me. "Surely, you are Joking,” 1 said faintly. "Oh! not sit nil. Here Is my wed ding ring." and she held up her hand "1 am Mrs. Hlde-Thompson!" "What!'' 1 almost shrieked. "Do yot mean to tell me that you have marrtef [that little wretch? Why, he has onlj i t>een in the house ten days.” "Sixteen days" she corrected, "am ; I have been engaged to him for ten and weary work It has been. 1 can tel . /d As.lVeoi) I*’ "Then 1 suppose you are goini away?” I Jerked out.

T. B. • Terry. In Practical Farmer. Me and hi. .on. lived on It and had a line home and were prosper 1 Ing .lowly. But they got It In their head, that they eould live easier and do better by moving to town and going Into some bnalnes.. And they wout. renting the farm. They borrowed money on it, and put that with what they had and atnrted it gro cery store. Me is a man of more than average ability. They all worked ear ly and lata for success. Last year, however, was too much for them '1 bey had to trust out too much, and the laboring people had »o little money, and there wa. so much competition among the dealer, to get that, that, the weakest had to go down. The sheriff has Mid the farm, and everything el»* I* gone. They have nothing. As they are particular friends of ours, we feel doubly sorry for them, Now, my good friends, don’t you oft#n min* '»ai farming I* a poor business, and wish you were out of It and at something else? And don't you know that the usual result would be about as describ ed abort? You cannot sell your farm and put your money Into any business today that la honorable and legitimate and safe that will pay you as well. Let us look this matter squarely In the face, and take courage and go ahead and make the best of our business. There Is no chance to do any better, as a rule, nor as well, all things consid ered, with the capital invested. 1 was talking the other day with a shrewd old gentleman, who has considerable property. He remarked: 'T keep enough money In farm land to support myself and family well if everything else went to the dog*. 1 risk the rest In buslnes*." There Is nothing safer than good farm land. We have got enough, too, to support us well, no mat ter what comes. People must cat, and farmers can always live, on the aver age. A family out of debt, owning a good farm, reasonably improved, ure well fixed In this world's goods. When to Water 1'lanta. Should plsnu be watered during sun shine? Why not, If they need It? The watering of the plant should be gov erned by Its condition and surround ings. The whole thing, In a nutshell, is, water a plant when It does require 1 It, says a writer In American Garden ing. From my own experience 1 have 1 never had any bad results from water ing flowers during sunshine, any more : than In dull weather. During sunshine 1 and bright weather the evaporation from most plant* Is more excessive r than In dull weather; consequently : plants call for more nourishment In r the form of water, ami If the plants are a growing fast, and the pots are full of roots, 1 often find it necessary to water them three or four times a day. Air, -on and light are Important factors In building up the plant, and one Is not i much use without the other. Water e containing soluble matter is absorbed j by the roots and travels through the plant as crude sap. passing upwards to t the leaves; there It forms a comblna jj tion with carbonic acid gas, derived 0 from the air, then by the action of sun :K and light is refined and digested. As the sun plays such an important part ( in the disintegration (as it were) of the food of the plant, I cannot see how It would have any Injurious effect to 1 water plants during sunshine; but 11 would look st It as a thing essential If the plants needed it. I always aim to * have watering done early In the tnorn “ lug or about three or four o'clock in * the afternoon, for the simple reason I * that it facilitates the work, as well as * economizes the water, hut as I said be * for*. 1 would not scruple to water a * batch of plants during sunshine If they r needed It, and would consider I was >. helping nature by doing so. s -— * t urreul# a«it tioMuvbrrrt##. i* Take cuttings of currant* In iJeptetn * b*r after the new wood ha* ripened, j i a* may be seen by having turned - brown, says Vick's Magazine Make e bem about sis inch** >n length from d the new wood, removing th* leaves u plant theta hi that only on* bud Is *ft above tb* surface and they will ah* rout IB th* tall and be ready to nab* growth promptly tn th* spring tune lent** or Miter should b* laid r tround them when cold weather mnw '' i to prevent them from heaving 1 1 c he a the frost tome* wit of th* 1 round Cutting# of th* gooseberry nr* * ; tutf itlffrslt to rest, but I rented tn * i h* name way a portion uf those made i ti, *wf American ven*tie» wti rvast * ■ tut the betted »#r to ret** guueebwr * | ** m by layering TV# ran be don* >* »# early a# the Utter part of inly '* I (ififi 111* Mill H|P 4 Il4 H| ® j I Imp® |MlftI) 4**411 4|l**# II K4 ^ [ i,t%| |i« mH! ufr ***** III*Ml I I fpsSS SrtlH Ilk* *>vh - ftk wl * #* ‘ .j.

Use sufficient rennet to coagulate the milk In about twenty mtnuteii. This will require from three to four ounces of standard rennet. (Ue surf that your rennet Is all right.) 5. Do no cut more than three tlmeu unless the milk I* over ripe. Itctalu plenty of moisture In spring curds foi an early market. Our spring cheeaci are usually too dry and harsh. 6.

Do not leave the curd In the wliey more than three hours, even If the hot Iron Indi cates "no add.” If you test with ths ulkall you will find plenty of add at the end of three hours, provided ths temperature Is kept up to 98 degrees. The hot Iron Is not always reliable al this point. 8. Mill early-as soon as the curd becomes mealy and shows about one Inch on the hot Iron. a.

Many are sacrificing a good leal of butler fat for the sake of get ;lng a "close” cheese. 11. Keep the temperature of ths ■urlng room at about 70 degrees, and :1ms hasten the curing. 12. Do not allow a cheese to go Into the curing room which Is not alcely finished, nor one to leave It un Lil It Is at least two weeks old. Not i few are ruining their reputation by shipping curd to their customers. Ths writer heard of a case this spring where cheese was made on Saturday and shipped the following Tuesday. Such a practice cannot be too strongly condemned. 13. To sum up: In order to obtain fat, meaty, quick-curing cheese which will be tit to eat In about a month after making, use plenty of good ren net; leave sulflclent moisture In the curd; salt lightly; keep the tempera ture of the curing room up to 70 de grees, night and day; and keep the cheese In the curing room for at least two weeks. The I'armer's t reed. Prof. Irby of North Carolina State College, furnishes the following to the Progressive farmer: We believe In small well-tilled farm::; that the soil must be fed as well as the owner, so that the crops shall make the farm and the farmer rich. We believe In thorough drainage, in deep plowing, and In labor saving im plements. We believe in good fences, barns conveniently arranged, good orchards and ir&rdens and nlentv of home raised bog and hominy. We believe in raising pure bred stock or in grading up the best to be gotten; they equal the thoroughbreds. We believe In growing the best va rieties of farm crops aud saving the choicest for seed. We believe In fertilizing the brain with phosphorus as well as applying it to the soil. We believe in the proper rare and application of barn-yard manure. We believe that the best fertilizers are of little value unless accompanied by industry, enterprise aud intelli gence. We believe in rotation, diversifica tion and thorough cultivation of crops. We believe that every farm should own a good farmer and that every good farmer will eventually own a good farm.
