I BY MISADVENTURE i FRANK BARRETT :: CHAPTER VIII. (Continued.) ' I got to the palings by tiic park, and kept them In touch until nt length 1 reached the carriage drive- gate of Flex more's house. Hy this time, what with one accident and another, It must have been pretty nearly four o'clock. There were lights in the house. Refore the door stood Lynn Yeanies' mare, Flexmore's pardoner holding her head. "Afternoon, sir," said he In an under tone that spoke of calamity. There was foreboding silence, also, on the part of tho maid-servant as she opened the sit ting room door. Miss Dalrymple wns on her knees be fore a big chair drawn near tho lire. In which little Laure sat, her face buried in her hands. They were not aware of my presence. I left them, closlug the door behind me in silence. "Where is Mr. YeAines?" I asked of the maid who waited in the hall. "Upstairs in master's room, sir," she replied lugubriously. Y'eanies was standing by his uncle's bed side; he thrust his hands quickly In his pockets as the door opened and I entered. No one else was there. I went in silence to the bed and looked down. Flexmore's eyes were closed, but his jaw had drop ped. "You're a bit too late with that will," said Yeanies, in a tone and with an ex pression on his face that implied a good deal a tone of subdued jocularity, a cun ning leer that bade me understand he knew why I hadn't come earlier. "Why, what have you been doing?" he asked with surprise. "You're a sight to be seen." "How long has he been gone?" I asked. Indifferent to my appearance. s "Oh, not above a quarter of an hour. Gertrude's just gone down. She did all that was possible to restore vitality. But it's all over this time. He won't come back any more, as the song says." "Have you sent any one for Dr. Aw drey? He ought to be here." "Of course he ought, but I suppose he's got some interesting pauper to look after. I went for him myself. The old boy . was shocking bad when I arrived here after leaving you. I went over to Aw drey at once, but he was out ; came back, end by that time nunky was pretty near the finish." "Was he In a state of consciousness at that time or not?" "Well, he was conscious enough to ask for you, and wonder why you hadn't turned up." It occurred to me that Lynn Yeames, eeing his uncle's precarious condition, had himself stretched that cord for me Instead of going for Dr. Awdrey, in order to prevent my arriving in time to get Flexmore's signature to the will. "Do you know why I did not turn up, as you call it?" I asked sharply. "Not I; but yoifre not sorry, I sup pose, that you did not get here in time." It was on the tip of my tongue to re tort, "Not so sorry as you may have rea son to be, Mr. Yeames;" but I said noth ing, for I wished to see how far this young man's fatuity would carry him, and contented myself with thinking of the bitter punishment in store for him when he should find out how completely he had deceived himself. Certainly no self-deception could be more complete than his. Assured of my venality, led away by his own hopes and over-confidence in the suc cessful issue of his cunning, he apparent ly felt as sure of being possessed of his uncle's fortune as though the thousands were already in his hands. CHAPTER IX. There are some men who have so little self-respect that they do not keep up a decent pretence of virtue when the object Is achieved for which it was first assumed, and Lynn Yeames was one of these. He already took upon himself the airs of mas ter in that house, and with a grand pat ronage bade me come down and have Borne refreshment. I complied, for after the shaking I had received I was in no mood to refuse. We went Into the sitting room. Laure was lying on the couch holding the hand of Miss Dalrymple, who sat on a stool by her side. "Oh, haven't you got all that over yet?" Lynn asked petulnntly, glancing at them. "Sit down, Keene." He touched the bell? "It's absurd nonsense to en courage morbid feeling and mawkish sen timent about a thing that's been forc- neen for weeks an inevitable thing A little refreshment for Mr. Keene." The latter addressed to the servant who came to Uie door. "I say it's nonsense!" "Lynn!" said -Miss Dalrymple, in a tone of mingled surprise, regret and re monstrance. "I say It's nonsense," he repeated harshly, "and you ought to know it, Ger trude, with your experience ; the child lias been petted and pampered till she's un healthy. It's exactly what my mother lias maintained all along. However, I shall niter all that tho girl will bo pack ed off to a good, wholesome boarding school as soon as tho funeral Is over." MifM Dalrymple looked perfectly amaz ed by this extraordinary outburst; she could not understand the meaning of it. I could well enough. Mr. Yeames had already thought better of his proposal to make the pennijess Miss Dalrymple a partaker in his fortune, and did not care how soon there should be a breach be tween them. It was this rather than any udden fit of dislike to Laure which had led him to make this Bavage onslaught Lauro clung closer than ever to her only friend, and looked In terror at Lynn. Miss Dalrymple held her hand firmly. The servant brought in the tray and I helped myself. Lynn waited till the servant was gone, and then, going to the win dow, said: "I Bhnll go oyer and fetch Awdrey. The certificate must ho seen about at ouce. Go and get my hat from the II brary, Laure. Tho child sprang up and uped from the room to fetch the bully s ht : Miss Dalrymple stood with heaving and clote-prewed llp, and not a particle of color In her face. She could not speak before me. Lynn met her calm gate with bent brows, and turned again to the window, (licking his handkerchief from his side pocket in a manner which by Itself was insolent and offensive. Hut in doing this he flicked a little pellet of paper out. It fell ngalnut my too, and I quickly covered it with my foot. The next moment he thrust his hand sharply in the pocket from which he had flicked out this pellet, then shook his handkerchief and looked nbout the floor at his feet. "What dreadful weather, Miss Dalrym ple." said I, setting down my glass. Lynn Yeames went hastily from the room, snatching his liat out of Loure'i hand as he passed. I picked up tho pellet of paper and slipped It into my waistcoat pocket. "Oh. is this true, dear is It true?" cried little Laure under her breath, as she joined Miss Dalrymple. "Will he send me away from you? Will he part us?" "No, my child," said I, going up to them. "Take this assurance from an old man who loves you for ycjur father's sake, and Nurse Gertrude for her own you shall not be parted. I left them. As I passed through the hall I caught sight of Lynn Yeames on the landing above with a lighted candle, looking about for the pellet of paper I was carrying away In my pocket CHAPTER X. I have in my office what I call my "handy drawer" a good large drawer that slides easily and fastens wJth a patent key, and divided into a score of compartments. In this I put away any thing that I think may come In handy at some future time, and an alphabetical index on a side of paper tells me at a glance in which nest to find what I want. I recommend a drawer of this kind to any one of a practical and methodical turn of mind; he will have recourse to it more frequently than he anticipates, and find it occasionally of inestimable value. Well. Into this drawer. Nest Y, I put that pellet of paper after making a care ful examination of it, and indexed it fhn. "Vp-imes. Pellet of naner jerked out of his pocket, day of Flexmore's death, Dec. 18, 18SS ." 1 .snail nave more to tell about this later on a good deal more. in tVio orpnini? of that dav I saw Dr. Awdrey; he came to me with a face as long as a fiddle. "That's an unfortunate accident that happened to you this afternoon," he said. "It might have been worse," said I, fpolini? mv nose. "I came plump down on it. Wonder I didn't break it." "I'm not speaking of that," said he, put ting down his hat and seating himself, nt, vnnr thlnkinz of your prop erty." The poor old nag had put his shoulder out and had to be killed, and both shafts of the gig were smashed. 'U'oii If vour old horse had not been thrown down, you would have been thou sands out of pocket." "You know what I mean; It Is an un fortunate accident that prevented your arriving in time for Flexmore to sign the new will as be wished. "Tlinre we differ. I do not regard the accident as unfortunate from that point of view." WpII. what Is to be done about it? The old will is virtually revoked." "Hut actually it stands as good as ever it was, and so it shall stand." "nrmn(iln? I refuse to accent the guardianship of Flexmore's child?" "You can t reiuse. common sense win not let you ; humanity will not let you ; I will not let you. Have you seen ynn Yeames since his uncle's death?" 'n. h lmd left thp. house five minutes before I arrived. I hear he called at my house, but I came by the other road. Since then I have been unable to find him anywhere." "Timt'u n nitv. I should have liked you to sec him as I saw him. He is so confident of being his uncle's heir that he has thrown off all restraint, every pre tense of decency, and shows himself the hectoring bully, the heartless rascal I have always believed him. to be." "imrwvsKlhle " he exclaimed. looking In credulously at me, whom alone of all men hp doubted and looked upon as misguid ed by prejudice. "I tell you It a fact, lie was Drutal to little Laure, and he insulted Miss Dal- -.,n..l before mv face. Why Uecause. now tiiat he believes himself master of his uncle's fortune, he wishes to break off his engagement with her. lie has no more intention of marrying her now than he had tho first day he came to Coney ford." "I can't understand you a man so clear in Judgment on most things " "Get that nonsense out of your head, doctor. I tell you that I am no more prejudiced against him tlian I am In favor of you. He Is a belfish, heartless scoundrel." "You will never make me believe that of Lynn Yeanies." , "He shall make you believe It of him self. Abstain from letting him know how Flexmore's money is to be disposed of, and watch him between now and the read ing of the will. He already talks of send ing the child away to a boarding school, and, as I tell you, reproved Miss IMl rymple before me for being too sympa thetic and kind to her." "Rut why should he hellevo himself to be his uncle's heir?" "Hecause ho fell Into a trap, and was led to believe so by me. And I'll tell you something else, doctor. He believed that this now will was to revoke nn existing will In Ills favor; and I am convinced that ho stretched the cord that threw tho gig over and delayed me, that this will might not be signed; and nicely he has defeated his own ends by It. I'd forgive him for tliat If my nose had been broken." "I think I can upset that theory, at l-t," said Awdrey. "What time was it when yon were thrown from tho glgf "About two o'clock, as nearly as I can reckon," said I. "Good. Ho left Flexmore's houso to fetch mo at one o'clock; ho was at my houso at half-past, and ho waited thoro for me until ten minutes past two." Ho had proved an nllbl for Lynn, and I had to admit 1 must ho in the wrong on this point. "And so you are, I am sure, on other points resecting him," said the doctor. "Wo shall see that. Keep your mind unprejudiced, and watch that young man during tho next four or llvo days," said I, as I opened the door to let him out Unfortunately, this chanco of clearing his mind was denied to us. Tho noxt morning, when I called at Flexmore House, I heard that he had not been seen since ho left, shortly after my departure, to fetch Dr. Awdrey; nnd in tho courso of the day I learned that he had gone to London. This did not surprise mo. "lie's gone to see a London solicitor about this affair," I thought; "and may bo bled pretty freely by my learned f riends 1" Retimes on Thursday I called again at tho house, for I had made up my mind to visit tho inmates there every day, knowing how long and dreary the days must be for them in tho darkened house, and that the child, at least, looked upon me as a protecting friend. Miss Dalrym ple wns bending over her work with a worn and anxious look upon her sweet face. Little Iiurc started up with a terrified expression In her eyes, as though she expected to see Lynn Ywimes with a rope in his hand to haul her off to board ing school, as 1 opened the sitting room door. Roth of their poor faces lit up with pleasure when I said : "It's only I the old lawyer come to bother ,you for some papers." Laure ran up, threw her arms around my neck, and kissed me; nnd, still hug ging me, she whispered : "Ycjii don't forget what you promised?" "No," I whispered back. "No one shall take you away from Nurse Gertrude." "You are a nice old dear!" she said, giving me another kiss ; and then she ran away laughing, to whisper to Miss Dal rymple all about her secret at once a woman and a child. I gossiped for the best part of an hour, raking up all the news of tho village, for there's nothing like trifling chat for peo ple in trouble; and then, when Laure went out of the room, I said: "Well, my dear, have you had many visitors since I saw you last?" "A few acquaintances-ami Dr. Awdrey that is all. "Have you seen him or heard anything about Mr. Yeames?" I asked. "No; he has not come back from Lon don. I am anxious about him. I fear he is ill." It seemed to me that if he were 111, the first thing he would do, being n selfish hrntP. would be to write and tell his sweetheart of his suffering. The moment a man of this kind feels not up to uio hi.iirinrr nnlnt. hp whines for sympathy. I considered it much more probable that T.vnn h.nl trone to London to spend pomo of his fortune in ndvnncc, and escape from the lugubrious condition of tilings nt nomo whilst his uncle lay dead at Flexmore House. Of course, I kept this belief to m-Hpf nml. nromisinc to drop in again during the day, I left the house, and went directly to Mrs. Yeames villa. (To be continued.) Tennrn'i CynlcUm. Sir Vere de Vere was the eldest son of Sir Aubrey de Vere, the sonneteer nnd friend of Wordsworth. Ills broth er, Aubrey de Vere, Was a more than well known, a famous poet, and to him In his youth Walter Savage Landor addressed the exhortritlon: Make thy proud name still prouder for thy sons. He had no sons, however, never hav ing married. Neither hnd his brothers, Vere nnd Stephen. Thus the name, as n family name, disappears. The De Veres were early friends of Tennyson's, and It wns from them that the poet took the name which he made proverbial nnd symbol leal of a class "the caste of Vere de Vere." Lady de Vere, the only Lady de Vere of fact then living, wns Inclined to complain that her nnme should be bestowed upon the black hearted Lady Clura of fiction. Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but wns not master of dainty manners. He growled: "Why should you enre? But of course you don't. I didn't make your namesake ugly, and I didn't mnke her stupid. I only maue uer wiceu. t Capld'a Slide. "I would like to get a sofa for our parlor," suld the pretty girl in tho furniture emporium. "Erexcuse me, miss," responded the clerk with n low bow, "but but have you a beau?" The pretty girl blushed redder than nn autumn apple and nodded In the af firmative. "And is he bashful, miss?" "Exceedingly. Why why, he sits at the extreme end of the sofa." "Ah, Indeed! Then here Is the very sofa you wish." "That? Why, It looks like the letter V." "Yes, It is called the 'Cupid Slide' sofa. No one can sit on it without slid ing to the center." ' Mure I'rensleil Kl nil nee. Mrs. Old wed I Biippose you keep b. household expense account? Mrs. Newed' Yes; and I use the double-entry system.

This may seem to be absurd, hut the facts supiKirt such n statement. There Is no question but that many Hocks are rendered unhealthy nnd therefore less productive by reason of too close housing. In few sections do sheep need moro than a windbreak and rain shed. Soino of our best shepherds have kept their llocka for decades with only such sheds as would prevent tlte flock being cxiwsed to direct winds, rain and snow storms. The cut shows the typo of sheep barn found on the farm of a success ful shepherd, which might be copied with success. In this Instance the sheep are kept upon forage crops grown In four adjacent lots. The tlock may be turned Into nny lot nt pleasure. It Is well to have this building equipped with a Inrge ventilating win dow In the end near the gable or two small windows. such as shown In the sketch. These, however, should he BOIUNO 8HEF.r FOLD. equipped with n sash that may be closed In severe weather. Many farms where sheep aro kept are equipped with n barn cellar in which tho Hock has been kept with 'varying success. The barn cellar Is an excellent place for sheep If rightly j arranged. There should be plenty of openings to the south, allowing sun to reach all parts of the stable so as to keep 'it thoroughly dry. Thorough drainage Is essential. I There must be ventilation nt the rear of the stable. A bad practice Is to keep the sheep In stables on stable manure, says Farm and Home. The fermenting manure destroys the color and texture of wool. A hint which has been worth many dollars to me is to use only long straw, hay or weeds for bedding sheep. If short straw or saw dust Is used It gets Into the lleeco nnd Is an everlasting nuisance. Proninlile Cnlllo IVnlliiK. The Missouri Experiment Station at Columbia has Issued a very elaborate and handsomely Illustrated bulletin on the most successful methods of fatten ing cattle, by Dean H. J. Waters. I This bulletin summarizes the expe rience and conclusions of about 1,000 I of the most experienced nnd successful 'cattle feeders of Missouri, Illinois and I Iowa, and contains also a summitry of the results of a largo number of tests I with different kinds of feed, different ages of cattle, etc., conducted by the I Experiment Station of Columbia. It considers such practical questions nstlie most profitable age to fatten cat tle, the proper weight, the best season : of the year, the best method pre ' pnrlng feed, the best of shelter, the ' market demands,' the best sort of roughness, etc. It Is Illustrated with cuts of the different types of beef cattle, Including excellent illustrations of the fat steer herd exhibited by the college this season at the Interstate Fair, Kansas City, tho Missouri State Fair, Sedalla, the American Royal, Kansas City, nnd the International Live Stock Exposition, Chicago. These steers won nine championship prizes, seventeen first prizes, sixteen second prizes, seven third prizes nnd two fourth prizes.
