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

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

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

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

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."
"And if I don t. tioadea. what then*"
he answered, in hit thin, high pitched
voice 'Hang II all' You talk ai

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

At ten o'clock I told Mr. Joseph hi

' Think of him!" she answered, look

: 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

after about half an hour of It he went

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

"Sixteen days" she corrected, "am

PI Irk to Ilia Farm.
1 FRIEND of our.
1 owned a good farm
a few year, ago,
1 about two mllea
from a Ihrlvlng
city, write. 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.

The following observations anent
the procuring of a quick-curing
cheese are made In a bulletin Issued
by the Ontario agricultural college
The bulletin. It may be explained,
web Issued for the benefit of factery
authorities.
X. Accept nothing hut pure, sweet
milk
2. Ht>at to 86 degrees and then
make a rennet teat.
3. Het the milk when the rennet
test Is about 18 seconds, or at suffic
ient ripeness so that the curd will
*'dlp” In about two and a half hours.
4. 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. Heat slowly to 06 degrees nol
above this temperature, as It is desir
able to retain moisture.
7. Dip at the first appearance of
scld. If the add does not show on ths
hot iron, use the alkali test. 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. Hand-stir sumotentiy to impr»v«
flavor, but not enough to lose all tb*
moisture.
10. Malt at the rate of about two
pounds to 1,000 pounds of milk, and
leforo the grease runs too freely. Al
ow the turds to stand longer In (h*
salt. You will thus save butter fat,
ind will not he troubled with "greasy"
-Urdu. 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.

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

Wittier Protection.
! have not had a great deal of suc
cess in the culttvatton of flowers and
roses, but 1 have a very simple plan of
protecting them 1 lay down the rose
and rover it with leaves, and when I
uncover It in the spring I nnd ttat it
la quite fresh. In eotue Instance, the
buds have begun to shape before the
leaves are tabes off One season a keen
frost ratne and they were eel back and
w* had no ruses that year. | now adopt
the plan of driving n stick down along
aids the bush I then gather the
branches together, tie them with
a string and put a hoop around
the bottom 1 put ordinary rye straw
around the inside of that hoop and
then put all fauA>|) ill*

prised and prided themselves upon ini»

In praise of the grace which lies ut tho

The heart with love to God Inspired*
with love to man will glow.
Teach ns to love each other, l»rd, a®
we are loved by thee,
None who are truly born of God can live
In enmity.
Heirs of the same immortal bliss, our
hopes and fears the same.
With bom Is of love our hearts unite, with
mutual love Inflame.

Hints to the Teacher.
T. Christian Love. An ocean etcamer
pressing In the face of wind and wavo
Is an Inspiring sight. Where Is the pow
er than Impels It? We find It far below
the decks, in the throbbing engine Ho
Christian has his Impelling power within,.
In Christian love. Love is the ret of
Christianity, the Inspiration of ehuracter,
the motive that leads to the sacrifices, tho
trials, and the triumphs of the Gospel,
11. The Comparison of l»ve Verse*
1-3. Paul puls love In the halm »• with
other traits and endowments manifest in
tho Christian Church. Home of ih . • an
cd uit gifts have passed away, but they ^
have left their modern representatives. ■
"The gift of tongues” Is continued In #do- |
queues of speech; but the ablest sermon p*
without love In the preacher's heart l»J^
the clatter of sound. "Prophecy" Is In
sight Into spiritual truth: hut udiat 1*
that without love of souls? "FaJth that
moves mountains” has Its counterpart In'
seal ami activity In behalf of a cause
(for example, the determination of a Co
lumbus, seeking a new world; < f (\ W.
Field, In laying the Atlantic cable); hut
of what avail are obstacles overco
without love? There muy be liberal giv
ing, or even endurance of persecution, but (
unless they are for the sake of Christ,
und from love, they count but little for j
his cause.
HI. The Results of Love. What will
follow If love he In the heart is shown A
in verses 4-7. 1. Patience. 2. Gentleness. V
3 Contentment. 4 Humility. f>. Courtesy. ™
6. 1'nselftshnesH. 7. Self-control. X Char
itableness in Judgment. 0. Liberality of
opinion. 10. Trustfulness. 11. Hopeful
ness. Let the teacher briefly show how
love In the heart will inspire all these
cnargcxermuca.
IV'. The Greatness of Love. Verses fc-13. I
1. It !s the enduring grace; other gift* I
may pass away, as some of these have, 1
passed from the Church, hut love abides.* ^
i. It is the consummate grace; It belong* i
to the highest type of Christian experi
ence. Our knowledge Is limited and our |
Insight into truth Is incomplete; but, lov#
may be entire. 3. It is th»- divine grace, I
belonging to heaven as well as to earth. (
Other gifts may cease when we put off
the body, but love shall not be supersed
ed even in heaven. I
