reflection that he would not stand It

"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

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

though it presented a certain attraction
in being untruthful, would require a good
deal of bolstering up to support his as
sumption of honesty and generonty. 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

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.

an instant.

been mended, and he had bought a new

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. A large amount of fat In
either case Is apt to Interfere with the
