If ' . ,,,, 1 --! BY MISADVENTURE :DY FRANK BARRETT C11AITI2K V. When I got back (o my office I set About drawing up Flexmore's will from the draft he had agreed to, nnd every word of It gave me pleasure, for I saw that It would bring everything right In the end. "While Lynn Yeames Is doubtful ns to the disposition of his uncle's property," said I to myself, "he will refrain from committing himself to an actual promise his mother's cottage when she had bought t), was tlown for everything. lie inter sted himself in local matters, aiding al ways with tbe majority; he became a nemher of tlie County Club, bought a iorse and got ndmlttcd to the hunt; and vlth his good looks, manly benrlng, nd- n.rablc lioisemanship and skillful free- 'ntidedness, made himself generally noiv lar.

And when he does know that his uncle has not left him a stiver, he'll drop Miss Dalrym- ple; then Awdrey will be freed from the quixotic obligation ho was lured into o draw in his horns when he found that le was down in his uncle's will for a tr.fling legacy instead of the fifty thou anu pounds lie was calculatine unon. All tins time he was paying assiduous miik.ng, he will marry rsurse liertrude, mentions to Miss Dalrvmple. He saw. and all will end like a fairy story. ..nough he said nothing about it to me. I was talking to myself in this strain .hat his uncle was thinking of Laure's ns I proceeded to engross the will, when future, and wished to provide for her per- wlio should come into my olhce but the otuai association with Gertrude, and he very person uppermost in my thoughts Lynn Yrames.

"Oh, it is beautiful!" she exclaimed. looking around her. "See how the rime 'till stands on the brake, and look how the drops glisten on the gossamer. And you, know." I twiddled my thumbs, and what lovely tints there are on the beeches, looked at him significantly. "You are his kinsman remotely." I paused. "He is particularly anxious about the future of his little daughter." I coughed. "And though he may have unbounded faith in my Integrity, he would naturally prefer to place her welfare in the keeping of a relative who could devote himself exclu sively to her interest. Up to the present time I have bad the management of your uncles estate, but of course it would be optional on his successor to -employ me agent. "I should not wish to take it out of your hands, Mr. Keene that is," he said quickly, seeing tbe mistake into which be and the brambles down there. 'Yet you would prefer at this moment to be in your Loudon hospital. You feel that you are wasting your time here that's the fact, isn't it?" "I should be sorry to think that." she replied, with quiet gravity "But you are. Here you are saving the life of one child ; there you might be sav ing a dozen." "Thpy will be saved without me." "And little Laure would be lost that is true." "Let us talk about the country," she said, as we walked on. "There is a man worth talking about," yet die did not allow herself to rtiow thtt she saw the pprsonal allusion to her own case, sue was n wonderfully self-pos fies.-aod young woman, and moreover had too much principle to suffer the opinion of others to bins her own estimate of n trusted friend ; Indeed, I believe that her loyal heart became only the more staunch by the defense of those she loved against an accusation In which she herself found ho reason to participate. Of this she gave convincing proof later on, as I shall show. Soon after this a concert was given, In niil of some philanthropic cause. Lynn Yeames wns a steward and figured promi nently in the advertisements. Well, whether It was to please herself, or to please Lynn Yeames, or just to show that she did not value my warning at two straws, 1 don't know; but this In certain, Miss Dalrymple went to that concert un der the protection of Mrs. -Yeames, who. ever since the discovery at the flower show, had sljown herself mighty civil to the young lady. I went also. It charm ed mo to watch Miss Dalrymple. Thu music and gaiety appealed to her feel ings ns It never could to an old lawyer's. Her eyes black as sloes with excitement, her face glowing with healthy animation, she looked prettier than ever I had seen her yet. No, there was not one In the room to compare with her. I wondered how ever 1 could have thought her plain. "If they were nil like you, my dear," said I to myself, "it would be a real pleas ure to come to these affairs." She enjoyed it thoroughly, for she was young nnd henlthy in mind and body. The music, the light nnd brightness of the sur roundings exhilarated her; and then she must have known that she looked well and was admired, and I believe such a be lief as that would set the Lord Chancel lor In a good humor. 1 think It mattered little to her whom she wns with, for she was free from any idea of flirtation, and just as innocent nnd pure nnd sweet mid good ns sho looked. ' I enjoyed watching her until the tlmb came for Lynn Yeames to take her homo ; nnd It stirred up all the bile in my na ture when he took her hand and passed it through his arm. He trod on one old gentlcmnn8 toe, and I wished It had been mine; for In that mood I only wanted an excuse to knock his head off. The fact is I was as jealous as though I had been in love with Miss Dalrymple myself which, of course, I was not ; an old fellow in his sixtieth year sixty-second, in fact.

He was completely taken in; and so overcome with astonishment and delight to find, as he believed, that he was an heir, that for some minutes he could not command his thoughts, but simply an swered yes or no to my remarks without really following what it was I talked about. Ho was thinking what he would do with that money when lie got it. How ever, he recovered his self-possession be fore he left, nnd when we shook hands in parting, that cunning look was iu his eye. I knew well enough what was in his thoughts. "lou old rascal," he wns saying to him S self, "I can see now why you were so precious civil. You want me to let you go on fingering the fortune when it is mine." That was just what I wanted him to believe. In tho evening there came a couple of brace of partridges with his card attach ed.

I do not know whether I am particu larly sharp In penetrating character though I have a decent opinion of my ability in Unit respect or whether other people are particularly obtuso ; but this Is a fact Lynn Yenmes succeeded In de ceiving everybody but, me.

"Why not?" I asked; "he is a man and a fine man, too. The only difficulty Is in getting any one to have him. A man without superficial attractions and without money, what chance has he?" "Do you think all girls are either silly or mercenary?" she askd. "There's a third Miction ; but they don't care for good men." I have mentioned the girl's trick of blushing; and looking sidelong in the ex pectation of seeing this horne-thrust bring the color up to her temples, I was sur prised to we that It produced rather a contrary effect. "I don't mean nn absolutely bad man, but one who thinks he is reformed," said I, "and attributes, or leads It to bo im agined, that he owes his reformation to the girl's Influence." I was morally certain that Lynn Yeames had not ascribed his change to the effects of a country life in his con versation with CSertrude, however he had chosen to rei)reient it to me. "It flatters the girl's vanity to think nlie has redeemed the man," I added. "Is it vanity nnd nothiug else that makes one delight in doing good?" "I can't say, my dear not having had much experience in that way myself; but this I know, that every good girl must be doing good, ought to bo doing good, or think she Is doing good. I sneak of good girls, and no good girl would be coutent to be an idle plaything for a man's leisure moments, -And the wish to save some man from evil courses too often leads tho girl herself Into the evil course of putting faith In appearances, and lend ing a credulous ear to empty protesta tions. That courso may lead to Irrome dlal misfortune and lifelong unhapplness." This whj plain enough In all conscience, Dent O'l.rnrj "VVnlkliiK ItecortI In the Wlliln of Alnakn.

If a llttjo of the milk Im skimmed off 'each time with the cream, this will, of course, settle to the hot toui. There It gets overripe and forms a curd that will be so hard that It will not break up In the churning, but makes white specks In the butter. This can be hindered by a closer skim ming and by not nllowlng the cream to stand as long U'fore churning. Straining the cream Is nlso beneficial In this case. Slmly MnMrr f I'eed.
