Brian looked round the room once
more; were the flowers and tho feminine
irines wnicu adorned it the evidence of
Miss Lavbourno'R
"Your daughter, Is she In tho next
room i May l not bo introduced to her?"
- "Oli, she has gone to bed ages -ago,"
replied the naturalist, an answer which
fully confirmed Brian in his conviction
that the young lady in question was ten
years old.
"Janle will tnke her," he thought to
himself. "She is a good, motherly crea
turo; wo can have her educated with
little Lorrie; ono governess will do for
the two, and I daresay by and by Janle
will find her a husband, and I shall not
have much trouble about the child."
CHAPTER III:
"Do you belong, may I ask, to tho
genus ape, bird or piile?" said Brian
Desmond, as he stood looking up into the
branches of the cherry tree.
It was 7 o'clock in the morning, a
creditable hour for him to be abroad.
perambulating the garden. The birds-
were shouting their morning paeans to
gether, in a glorious chorus of confused
sweetness. The dew lay fresh and heavy
upon the grass under his feet, tho flow
ers opened wide their starry cups to
greet their lord the sun, and Brian Des
mond stared aip into tho cherry tree,
where, among the crimson drops of ruddy
fruit, was perched a small, elf-like crea-
ture, with yellow hair, white garments
of indistinct formation, and preternatur
elly largo blue eyes that gazed down
gravely into his.
"Neither," answered the creature seri
ously. "Genus man sex feminine. I
am a woman."
"Indeed?" dotting his hat with mock
politeness! "I am glad to have been in
formed of so important a fact; had you
not told me, I should never have divined
It. Why did you not say a 'baby? " ,
"Because I am a woman," she repeat
ed seriously.
Brian laughed. This, of course, must
be Miss Laybourne, his future charge,
aged 10.
Indeed, seen from this lower level,
crumpled up over his head, into a small
twisted form between the arms of two
branches of tho tree, she might certainly
have passed for 10 years old.
"What is your name, you odd little
girl?"
"Upon my tombstone I shall be de
scribed as Catherine Elizabeth Lay
bourne. As I am not yet placed -beneath
It I have been hitherto called Kitten."
"You are a very amusing kitten, at
any rate," he said laughingly. "Come
down and talk to me."
"Why should I? You get up her and
talk to me."
"Good gracious! Do you know my
age?"
"Thirty-eight," replied Kitten prompt
ly, being well informed upon thia par
ticular point.
"Why, you seem to know everything,"
answered Desmond, in surprise.
"Things are not what they seem, then.
There is something I don't know yet.
If you come up here I will tell you."
"Upon my life " he began', but
nlmultaneously he began to climb also.
He swung himself lightly up on to the
branch, and landed himself by Kitten's
side.
"What is it you don't know?" he asked
her, noting that on nearer inspection
ahe certainly must be over ten.
"I don't know whether you like cherry
tatf or not." ne foreboro with wonder
ful self-command to express his disap
pointment at this apparently irrelevant
remark.
"Hum that depends," he said medita
tively. "On the cherries to begin with;
" they must be ripe. On the crust, which
must ba flaky. And upou tho condi
ment served with it, which must be
' cream,"
'Then you bad it all last night!" she
cried triumphantly. "Did you like it;
' was it nice?"
So it was not an irrelevant catechism,
but a trap to catch him, 'after all. He
owned with confusion that he had not
tasted any of the cherry tart in ques
tion. "Oh, what a shame! and I had thought
of It so much. Why didn't you eat it?"
"I really don't know."
"It .must certainly be as I said to
Daddy," she remarked, surveying him
reflectively with those gravo" Infantine
blue eyes; "it must be because you are
too old."
"As you are on the subject or age,
perhaps you will kindly favor me with
yours?" he said.
"Certainly. I am sixteen."
"Sixteen 1" lie pried in amazement.
"Why, I thought you were only ten."
"Then you were very stupid to think
bo," sue replied, in a perfectly tran
quil voice, ..... ,
lie looked at her attentively. He be
gan to perceive that she was no child,
but a lovely girl" of the most fairy-liko
type, a flower bud just emerging Into
womanhood. Her gold crowned head,
Iter pure delicate-hued profile turned
Bligktly from him, the transparent taper
Sagers that played with a cluster of
crimson cherries all were thoso of a
W0K1an, aad not of a child. He had
been Mnpld, uo doubt!
And then lie fH to wondering what
0R Wrth be should do, should this
strange.. elf-Hke, woman-child ever bo left
fl" U hands. Brlaa began to think
that he had undertaken rather niOro than
be bargained for,
'I am going to gt down now, please."
"Pray ajlow to assist you?" said
BrUu iu his bt society uwuaor.
Tho nearest approach to a laugh that
Kitten ever Indulged in fluttered softly
from her rosy lips. In less time than it
takes to describes sho had swung herself
ngntiy on to the dewy grass, and stood
looking up at him with grave blue eves
in which there lurked now a suspicion of
ucmuro roguery.
"Can I assist you?" sho said, gravely.
Brlnn laughed. "What an elf you are.
I fear my descent will neither be so
swift nor so graceful as yours, Miss Lay
bemrne;" nevertheless he accomplished it,
although In a blundering fashion.
They wandered along the garden paths
together. Tho dew brushed against their
garments, the flower dust from tho gold
en hearts of the marigolds, and tho nas
turtiums was shnken by their passing
footsteps. The flickering sunlight came
shaft-like down through tho ovcr-archlng
boughs above their heads.
The professor' standing between the
muslin draperies of the open breakfast
room window, wntched them as they
came slowly along. Desmond's tall head
stooped toward ills companion, his hand;
somo red bronze face burnt by the suri
of foreign lands, was bent with friendly
kindness toward the upturned flower
llko face by his side; his eyes that were
somewhat grave with the shadow of a
past grief, and somewhat tender, too,
with the reflex of a kindly nature, were
fixed with a pleased admiration upon the
girl's youth and beauty.
Kitten tripped lightly by his side, shy
ness was not in her; she chattered freely
about the cows, and tho dogs, and her
pet starling in his cage, saying anything
that came into her head; sometimes with
the playful foolishness of a child, some
times with that gleam Of world-wise
shrewdness which crossed her more friv
olous moods with strange unexpected
suddenness.
The naturalist looked at them both as
they came nearer. His child was fair
and sweet and lovely. Brian was stilt
young, he was a good fellow, a brave
man and a gentleman. Through the old
man's mind there darted a suddeu
thought.
"Why not?" And then he added to'
himself, "That would be better for her,"
and a smile softened his eyes as the
thought grew and grew upon him more
and more.
"Are vou coming in to breakfast, Miss
Laybourne?" inquired Desmond, as they
drew near the house.
"Breakfast! I have breakfasted al
ready!"
"On what,. Queen of the Fairies?"
Dewdrops, I imagine."
"No. upon cherries and milk; it was
my breakfast hour you broke in upon
when you interrupted mo just how. You
startled me so that I had not time to
finish."
"I am very sorry, but you see I have
no acquaintance with the habits of tree
elves; no doubt you1 dislike mo extreme
ly for my blunder."
"No, I don't dislike you," she answer
ed musingly; "in fact, I like you; yea,
I think I like you better than I do
Roy. Grantlcy."
"And who, pray, is Bpy Grantley'
"Well, he's a boy. I have known
him for years."
"And yet you like me as well 7 Is not
that rather ungrateful, Miss Kitten, to
this did friend of yours? He would be
angry if he heard you."
"No." she answered simply, "because
he does not mind Ingratitude boys don't
when they are infatuated."
"And is Mr. Roy infatuated then?"
asked Brian, looking intensely amused.
"Frightfully; he worships me, you
'know. It is tiresome."
"And how are you prepared to regard
me, as a worshiper or as an object fit
for worship?"
He looked at her playfully, the grave
blue eyes met his, then dropped swiftly
a slow flush mounted to her brow.
Something in the electric glance of his
eyes caused her to tremble before him
with a sweet shyness that was something
new to her. And Brian Desmond saw
that ho had awakened the woman in
the child's heart
All that day he wandered with her
about the wo'ods and the fields, with
stated intervals, of course of Berlous
conversation with her father. He picked
wild flowers for her, dog-roses and
honeysuckles from the hedges, long trails
of briony to wind round her hat, or
meadowsweet and waving rushes from
the tangled fringe of the stream that ran
lazily through the meadows below the
house.
Kitten soon recovered herself, and
chattered freely to him of her simple life
and its pleasures. Now and then she
stole a side glance up at him, and said
to herself: "He is far better than Roy,
though he is so old."
And Boy was away; he was paying a
visit to his uncle. There was no sun
burnt, shock-headed boy to come clam
bering over the fence to disturb her
tcte-a-tetes with her new friend.
"I am glad he is away," said Kitten
to herself, with the Ingratitude of her
sex. "Roy is not amusing like Mr. Des
mond; ho cannot talk and understand
things one is thinkiug about; he only
looks foolish and says silly things, and
he would be horribly in the way, poor
bo1"
IVo three days passed away with
lightning quickness; on tho fourth Brian
was to go. KIttetf counted tho lessen
ing hours as they speeded by, with ever
increasing sadness.
"Only ono day more',' she said to her
self when It came to tho last. "Ono
more ramble in the garden. One more
lunch with Daddy sitting by, talking to
him of things 1 don't understand. Then
ono more afternoon together in the woods
and the fields, then the eyening and the
dinner hour, and tho stroll In the moon
light for the last time. Then night, and
in the early morning ho will go," She
reckoned up the precious moments as a
miser counts his gold, and after all the
day was a failure, as so muny "last j
days" are apt to be to which we have
looked forward with a trembling eager-
"It rained all the morning. Mr. Des
mond remained closeted in the profes
sor's stud for all the long hours between
breakfast and lunch. Kitten was told by
her father .that sho might "run away."
She pouted a little bit, and resented for
the first time being treated like a child.
After a long time she heard tho study
door open and a step across tho flagged
hall outside.
"Kitten! Kitten! Whero aro you?"
called a voice outside. A curious spnso
of happy shyness kept her silent. Sho
crouched closer under tho shelter of tho
old faded morono curtains nad was still,
though her heart was beating strangely.
She heard him go out Into tho porch,
then come In again and' go to the kitchen
door, Kcziah would surely tell him whom
sho was. The step came back quickly,
the handle of tho door turned.
"Kitten, are you hero?"
Sho stooped her yellow head low over
her book, there was a reason why sho
did not want to look up or to answer.
But ho saw her in her corner, a llttlo
mlto all in white, with n bent, sunny
head against a framework of faded red.
"Little witch! where havo you hlddon
yourself? Why did you not answer?
Why, Kitten, Kitten, what is tho mat
ter? Why, you aro crying!"
She tried to turn away her tear-laden
eyos and to forco her Hps Into a smile,
but the heavy drops tumbled over on to
her small hands, and the rosy Hps could
only tremble.
"It is your last day," sho said plto
ously; "and and It is half gone al
ready." He sat down beside her on the ground
and took the small frail hands in his
own. It went througa his mind to ask
himself who, for many a long year, had
shed tears for him, beqauso he was go
ing away. A great tenderness filled his
heart; It was not love, It was nothing
like lovo even, It was only such a pity
as might fill the heart of a strong man
toward a child who is hurt. Ho wanted
to be kind to her, to console her, to do
her good, to wipe away those tears which
sorrow for him had conjured up, to coax
those trembling rosebud lips Into n smile.
"Poor little child," ho said to himself;
"what can I say or do to comfort her?
Kitten, would you like to live with mo
nlways?" he asked of her suddenly, "to
be never parted from me?"
Sho looked up at him swiftly, a great
gush of joy flashed over her face, a
smile of heaven-born happiness parted
her Hps.
"To live with you!" she repeated won
dcringly. Then her face dropped into
her hands, a crimson flush rushed sud
denly over her whole face and throat and
the small white fingers flew up to hide
the child eyes where the woman's lovo
had been quickened Into sudden life.
He saw then what ho had done and
what she fancied he had meant. Ho
rose quickly and looked out of the win
dow. .
"It would be nice, wouldn't it, llttlo
woman? You and I would become great
friends, but, of course, it is nonsense,
for you havo your father;" he could not
tell her how that father was likely to
die and leave her to his care, which was
what had been in his mind when ho had
talked of her living with him.
A silence then as ho still turned
away his face, she .said gently: "Non
sense, of course! as you say, I have my
Daddy."
He was relieved; her voice was so still
and quiet, there was no harm done then,
he turned round and looked at her. She
had risen to her feet and stood facing
him with her fingers slipped into tho
page of her book. There were no tears
now in her grave, sweet .eyes, nor any
burning blushes on her cheeks, sho was
much as usual, only, perhaps, a little
paler. Already the child was learning
the woman's lesson, to hide the wounds
of her heart from the eyes of the man
who makes her suffer.
"But I am coming back again to see
you very soon, Kitten; wo shall have
many more good hours together in the
garden and the fields."
"Yes, that will be nice."
"Now run and get your hat; see, tho
rain is nearly over and the sun is com
ing out behind that bank of cloud; by tho
time you have wrapped yourself up well
we shall be able to get out and have a
walk yet before lunch."
She turned to obey him in silence.

Some years ago the Chief Justice of
the United States was driving in n gig
and found that the tire of one of his
wheels wns loose and kept slipping off.
He didn't know a grent deal about
common affairs, for he had not lived
much with the common affairs of life;
but he did know that wnter would
tighten a tire on" a wheel. Coming to
a little stream ho drove into It nnd
got one little section of the wheel wet;
then drove out and bncked his horse,
and the same part of the wheel went
Into the water again, and ho pulled
buck and kept seesawing backward
and forward, all the time getting the
same part of the wheel wet.
A negro came along, and seeing iho
situation tohl the Justice to back into
the water again. He did so, and tho
negro took hold of the spokes of tho
wheel nnd, turning It around, directly
had it wet all around. The Chief Jus
tice said:
"Well, I never thought of that."
"Well," replied tho darky, "some

others, anyhow."

Feed Ins: Uoga.
A hog fed at fair profit until It
reaches 200 pounds will give less profit
with each additional pound, and a
point can be reached at which further
feeding can be done only at a loss. A
reliable authority says that a certain
amount of food being required to
make a gain on a hog of 35 pounds,
it will require 4 per cent more food
with a hog of 70 pounds to make the
same gain, 14 per cent more with
one of 125 pounds, 22 per cent more
on hogs of 225 pounds, nnd TO per
cent more on thoso weighing 325
pounds. The tests upon which these
figures are based were not official, but
It Is a well-known fact that with In
crease of ngc more feed Is required to
effect a gain than at earlier age. But
tho light weights, those under 200
pounds, cannot be so well handled at
packerles, and hence thoso who are
feeding for market should bring them
to that weight smooth and well finish
ed. At Jess weight or In bad condi
tion, it will be found that the discrim
ination against them Is strong, so tha1.
It will always be best economy to
bring them to the most rigid require

Fitting the Collar. .
The horse collar Is mndo over a
form while wet and suits tho tasto of
the maker. Then why not make tho
collar fit the form of tho neck that Is
to wear It? To do this, select a col
lar that will fit as nearly as possible
the horso it la iutended for, On nn
evening thoroughly wet cloths enough
to wrap It up, loavlng the collar in
that condition nil night. It need not
be a new one, nn old one may be
treated the same way. In the morn
ing, and while wet and soft, put the
collar on the horse, adjust It propor
Iyj also the names and hame tugs,
and work the homo modorately dur
ing tho day, when tho collar will dry
and adjust exactly to the form of the
neck of the horse whose collar lb must
be right alone;. If by getting fatter
or leaner the shape of the neck Is 1
changed, a reshaping of the collar ia
advisable, which can he done aa in
the first plnce.
Treating Winter Wheat for Seed
In ench of six yours, experiments
havo been conducted at tho Ontario
Experiment farms in treating winter
wheat In different ways to kill the
'stinking smut, nnd the results have
been very satisfactory. Untreated
seed produced nn nvtrngo of 0.0 per
cent of smut lu the crop of last year
and 0.3 per cent of smut In the crop
of thlB season. Seed wheat which
was lmmorsud for twenty minutes in
n solution mndo by nddlng ono pint
of formnldedydo (formalin) to forty
two gallons of wnter producod nn
avcrngo yield of grain per acre of
fifty bushels In 1004 and 50.8 bushels
In 1005, and that which wns untreat
ed produced only 40.0 bushels, and
forty-thrco bushclB per ncro for the
corresponding two years, thus making
an avcrago saving of nearly six
bushols per ncro. Tho treatment horo
mentioned was easily porfornicd, com
paratively cheap, effectual In killing
tho Btnut spores, and Instrumental In
furnishing tho largest avcrago yield
of wheat per ncro of all tho treat
ments used.
Cleaning Up for Winter.
Gather tho crops clean. Such as
aro gathered for sale can bo proper
ly stored away and then go over tho
field again; gathering up the odds nnd
ends which often mako more than
ono wngon loail and representing sev
eral good feeds for some of tho stock.
If ono can turn awlno or sheep Into
tho field to clean up it can generally
be done with profit Any plants with
tops like asparagus may be mowed
and thousands of weeds thus destroy
ed if the tops aro burned. Then tho
fields nro In better condition for tho
manure when It Is time to supply It.
The weakening meadow may be
braced up by' the top dressing of
munuro put on late, the corners can
bo cleaned out; tho tools bo tnketi
under cover and cleaned, preparatory
to being painted Inter on. Breaks in

After tho fruiting season is over
Is n good time to cut out the old wood
and leave nothing but this year's
growth of canes. The canes that bear;
fruit this year will not benr fruit
another year, consequently they
should be removed, and tho sooner
this Is done after the fruit has been
picked tho better. If they are cut out
at that time, tho plant food taken up !
by the roots, all goes Into tho young 1
growth. Tills method Is not to bo
recommended, however, for sections
where there Is much danger of winter-killing.
Straining the Milk,
Milk should alwuys be strained and
cooled by dipping, stirring and sur
rounding by cold water Immediately
after milking. It should ulwaya bo
aired whero tho air Is pure, at least
fifty, feet (or more If posslnlc) from
any bwJII barrel, hogpen, hog yard
feed trough, barnyard, milking yard
or dusty road. Two or threo thick
nesses of cheesecloth make a good
strainer. Cloth strainers should al
ways bo thoroughly washed, then boil
ed and hung In a pure atmosphere to
dry. ,
