"Then why don't farming pay?" "I'll tell you," said I; "It's becnusb your farmer is too genteel to work, nnd has to pay nnother for doing what ho ought to do himself that's one reason." "If a man wore not too genteel to work, It he put his heart and soul Into it, if he went into it as a man goes into bat tle, setting his heart nnd soul on win ning, how then?" "lie would make it pay I'd stake my reputation on It," I exclaimed. "You know nothing nbout farming, doctor j but with your dogged perseverance and a cer tain amount of intelligence that you would bring to bear on It, even you might make It pay; and I'll guarantee that you would make more by it than by your med ical practice." mmlllr of flrnsn Heed.

How- with Awdrey," In a manner so devoid of feeling, or even comomn courtesy, that it must at once have destroyed any faith in his sincerity that poor Gertrude cherished. Poor Gertrude ! it was some time after the door closed upon Mr. Lynn Yeames ever, he had bungled so disastrously in before she came from the room where he his own attempt, that he saw no escape rom his dilemma but by acting now on tAwdrey's suggestion. "The fact is," said he, changing his tone with a slash at his leg,1 "I was pur iwsely brutal to little Lnure and you. I wished- you to take offense and relieve me from the engagement." "That Is what I thought It was the only construction I could put upon your behavior," said she. "I dare say you wonder what my rea son was. I will tell you. I can't conceal the truth, and I know well enough that there's nothing a loving woman will not forgive, except duplicity." A. new warmth glowed in Gertrude's heart. She liked those words ; they were good and true it never struck her that they might be Dr. Awdrey's. "I knew that through Keene's delay I was ruined that I had nothing whatever to expect from my uncle's will. I knew left her, and then, despite the cheerful air she assumed, I perceived that Bhe had been crying. ' Here, again, I have wondered what she cried for. Had she not every reason to be pleased that she had found out the man's real character before marriage rath er than after it? Was not scorn of such a base fellow enough to dry in Its source the regretful tears that would have sprung in losing a lover? I should have thought so. But nothing puts on so many unlooked for aspects as human nature. One cannot reason upon the movement of human hearts as If they were made of wheels, mathematically arranged, to pro duce from a given impulse a certain and undeviating result. So I say again, poor Gertrude ! for she was weak as well as strong. Had she really loved Lynn? or was bhe only interested in him from a belief that her Influence had ennobled him?

Oh, that was generous !" exclaimed Nurse Gertrude, carried away by her own irapul sive and generous recognition of an un eelfish nay, a chivalrous motive on his part. All my warning was forgotten In an instant. "I did not want to tell you this," he said, in a tone that seemed to disclaim uny merit to gratitude "But you wronged me, Lynn," she said gently you wronged me, to Uiink I might wish to break the engagoment be cause you were less ncn tnan you ex pected to be when you made me an offer." She held out her hand to him frankly, of wheels In the Ice of the gutter, and, glancing through the blind, I caught sight of Dr. Awdrey. The old gig had been mended, and he had bought a new nag of Che same sober sort as the last. "Ha, ha!" thought I; "he's come to set tle about the two thousand a yeur that Nurse Gertrude Is to receive." It must be remembered that the par ticulars of the interview between Lynn Yeames aud Mis Dalrymple which I have set down in the last chapter, had not then come to rny knowledge.

In either case the percentage of moisture Is sel dom less than 70 per cent. In lean beef the amount of fat Is much the same as In a not too well-fed turkey, but It must be pointed out that the llesh of poultry differs from that of beef nnd mutton In not having Its muscular fibers permeated by fat, and, moreover, the fibers In the flesh of the fowl are short and rarely yield to the disintegrating action of the digestive processes.
