It was for Lynn, not for himself, ho
wanted tho farm. 1 saw now why lie
had pitched upon that particular one; lir
was nlso aware tlmt it was side by side
with the Dingle. If anything could pro
mote the union of Lynn Yeanies nnd Miss
Dairy-tuple, It was this propinquity; for
here, he must have reflected, tho youns
man would be urged to do his best, that
mio might see he had tho poo l qualities
the energy, the resolut.on which he pre
tended to possess.
In the evening I went over to the doc
tor house to see If I could pick up any
news, and by a happy chance he was at
home. Ho welcomed me heartily.
"I have seen tho captain's farm. It
will do admirably. I will pet you to ar
range the terms with him as early as
posdble," he said.
I nodded gloomily. My want of enthu
fiiusm now, contrasting with my warmth
in the morning, was too noticeable to "es
cape him. Like all good fellows, he was
keenly alive to the humorous aspect of
things, nnd I saw a twinkle hi his eye
as he turned to poke the fire.
"You don't seem so eager about it as
you were, Keene," ho said, with a smile
"No; I was fool enough to think you
were going to take it for yourself."
"And you have found out that the fu-
ture tenant is to be be Lynn Yeames':
"Well, let me hear what you've got to
say," said I, turning round, with a re
solve to be as impartial In my dealings
with Yeames as if he were unknown to
me.
"I have no rght to any of this money
virtually," he said.
"I won't admit that, to begin with,"' I
replied. "Flexniore willed the money to
you, and signed his will when he was in
health, and had the ability to reason the
matter out; the will he did not sign was
decided upon when he was s.ck and
unable to reason upon it."
"You will admit that in either case
he intended this money to go to the man
Miss Dalrymple should marry."
I assented to this proposition, and he
continued : "It is no longer a question
whether I shall marry her that is set
tletl forever."
"Well, if he will only work heart and
soul for his own sake, it's as much as I
can expect of him. Let him begin with
that ; we shall see about the rest. You
have spoken to him on this subject?'1
"Yes; we went together to look at the
farm this afternoon. He is delighted with
it, is confident of succe.ss, and eager to
begin."
I was not surprised to hear this. Every
one thinks he has the wit to make a farm
pay by just riding about on a cob and
giving orders ; and to be a "gentleman
farmer" is the desire of a good many
lazy young gentlemen especially when
there's good shooting in the neighborhood,
and a comfortable house, with an excel
lent billiard table in it.
"If you are still resolved on parting
with your money, I think 1 see how it
may be done without too much risk,"
said I. "We will start with the idea
tlat when Klexmore House is sold, the
iDiugle Cottage paid for, nnd everything
squared up. you have two thousand a year
to dispose of for nine years from this
date. Half of that must be put away as
a reserve fund. Out of the other half
you must pay Miss Dalrymple's salary
and the expenses of Laure and tho Cot
tage say, roughly, four hundred a
year. That leaves six hundred to meet
the looses on the farm and pay interest
on the capital Invested on going in. If
Yeames makes farming pay, so much the
better for him; he can pocket the profit,
nnd the six hundred run be added to the
reserve fund."
"And what is to be done with the re
serve fund?"
"I'm coming to that. At the end of
nine years, when Miss Dalrymple ceafes
to be Laure's guardian, the reserve sum
filial! be drawn out and paid over in a
lump to Miss Dalrymple if she is single, J
or to her husband if she i married. Here
is an inducement for Yeames lo develop
his fine qualities, to work hard and win
Miss Dalrymple, for then lie will come
In for the whole amount arising from the
bequest. Now. there's an arrangement ad
vantageous enough for Yeame- in all con
science. It does not benefit ymi one
penny piece, and so ought lo be accept
able; aud it carries out Flexmore'n last
vihhes to a tittle."
"That seem h a capital arrangement,"
naid Awdrey cheerfully. "I should think
Yeanies would be pleased with it."
"He ought to le," aid I.
But I was very doubtful whether he
would be; for a greedy man would not
be satisfied with ten thonsan'd a year. If
lie thinks he may by hook or by crook
set twenty.
However, he had the grace to express
entire satisfaction with the arrangement
when Awdrey explained it to him, and the
doctor bade me conclude negotiations with
'.'aptain. Hunger us quicklyas possible.
. CIIAPTKB. XVI.
The following week Miss Dalrymple
moved Into her new home with all her
household ; nnd one morning when I had
, been to settle affairs with Captain Han
ger, I wnlked across tho meadow, climbed
over the fence that soparat.-d It from
the Dingle paddock, nnd made my way
to the Cottage. I found everything in
Its place, and the whole house us neat and
coinfortuble as if the tenants had been
there a year.
It seemed to me tlmt I had never seen
Nurse Gertrude to such ndvuntage. Black
was certainly becoming to her, nnd her
dress was, to my eyes, the perfection of
grace nnd elegance, giving fullness to her
figure which, ns I have said before, was,
In my opinion, a trifio too slight. Her
carriage wan never wanting in dignity,
hut I thought she boro herself with the
air of one conscious of boing mistress of
the house. Yet thero was no stiffness or
formality la her manner j little Laure
herself did not welcome mo with sweeter
undies.
I wtt down by the fire and we fell to
talking about the neighbors. I learned
'hat they had already received visitors
hough It was scarcely time to expect
hem, and I was glad to hoar this, not
only because it would be good for Laure
to find companions of her own age, but
for Miss D.lrymple's sake nlso. Mixing
among people who must appreciate her
excellent qualities, It was ten to one that
some decent young fellow would fall in
love with her, nnd good might come of It
One thing I had made up my mind upon
if Dr. Awdrey wouldn't have her, Mr,
Lynn Yeames shouldn't. Although the
running at present looked favorable for
Lynn, tho race was not won yet by many
a length, and I had a strong belief that
he would be found nowhere when tho mar
riage bell rang. .
"And who else has called upon you
Miss Dalrymple?" 1 asked, when Laure
left the room. "Has Mr. Yeames paid
you another visit since we last met?"
I wondered whether the little frown
with which she replied in tho negative
implied that she was hurt by his neglect,
or vexed at the thought of his calling
upon her again.
"I was told that he intends to redeem
his character before he again presents
himself," said I.
"I am very glad to hear it," she re
plied, taking up her work.
"However, you will bo able to see him,
for ho is to be a near neighbor. I fan
cied that she did not look particularly
pleased at this intimation. "He is go
ing to live in the house over there, and
from this window you will be able to
see him, If you get up early, mowing
his fields, following his team, "throwing
heart and soul and money into the noble
endeavor to become a worthy member of
society and a model farmer."
"But I understood that Mr. eames
was In difficulties."
"What does that matter? He has found
a friend who's a bigger fool than he in
some resiects, willing to pay his debts,
and spend a thousand a year besides to
make a worthy gentleman of him. Do
you think he will succeed?
She did not reply to my question, but
sat absorbed in thought. Watching her
face keenlv, I thought there was an ex
pression of tender sadness in it. Was
she mourning in her heart for the fall of
one whom no effort could raise up? or
was she grieviug to think of that other
friend's disappointment when, he should
find that all he had done was of no
avail?
The friend is Dr. Awdrey?" aid Miss
Dalrymple. after we had sat in silence
for some moments.
'Yes." 1 replied; "that is not difficult
to discover: for I believe there's not an
other man in the whole world who would
beggar himself for others as he will."
She sat with idle hands and musing
eyes, still and silent as one sits at times
awed by the beauty of a starry night.
And I have not told you all that he
will do to make Yeames a gentleman
he will give him two thousand a year
when he wins you. If that does not en
courage him to make himelf a fit subject
for matrimony, I don't know what will."
'He must nave .i rc:i: rwpu?: for Mr.
Yeames." she satd.
A very strong belief in his latent good
ness. undouDteuiy, i saiu. "nr. aw-
irev is as simple and confiding as a
girl. In that category he is not the only
one who has had a great respect for Mr.
Yeames."
'How am I to reply to that thrust?"
nsked, with a smile.
'By telling me that if Dr. Awdrey had
as intimate an acquaintance with Mr.
Yeames as you have, bis respect would
have evaporated."
"But still his faith In latent good
ualities might exist." said she.
"I know his love would remain unal-
ered : and while he thinks Yeames capa
ble of goodness, and you capable of lov-
ng him; he will endeavor to bring about
our marriage.
His love?" she repeated quentioningly,
with a little emphasis.
"Hi- love," I said again; "and greater
love hath no man than this that he lay
down his life for his friend.'"
"Do you think he loves Mr. Yeames to
such an extent as that?"
"I was not thinking of Mr. Yeames,"
said I : "he is not the only friend con
cerned : it Is a frieud better known, more
highly prized in his heart, for whom that
bra ye man would lay down his life."
The malicious smile provoked by our
little passage of arms faded from her
lips, the color left her cheek, her dark
eye deepened as she looked at me with
intense earnestness, to read in my face
what I had yet left untold.
I believe she realized at that moment
for the first time that Dr. Awdrey loved
her with a love that is deeper than
friendship.
"If I have not put a considerable long
spoke in Mr. Lynn's wheel, I'm a Dutch
man," t-ald I to myself, an I went away
fjom Dingle Cottage.

CIIAITKB XVII.
Lynn Yeames had the sagacity to leave
Conoyford, and keep out of night, know
ing that he could do nothing to re-establish
his character until he had got into
tho farm where he was to work hucIi
wonders, or finding the bad weather' that
succeeded the frost Intolerable, or sot-ioty
dull, or for somo other reason that may
be clearer later on.
He had made himself very popular at
Conoyford with his charities, his reckless
riding, his agreeable manners, and his as
sumption of bluff, outspoken honesty.
People wore inclined to think oven better
of him In his absence than whon he was
amongst them, remembering the pleasant
side of his character and forgottlng tho
little slips which occasionally nwnkened
suspicion. He was spoken of ns n fine
type of muscular Christianity. Miss Dal
rymple was constantly with these people,
and ns it was generally understood that
a tacit engagement existed between her
nnd Yeames, they thought to please her by
talking about him, aud sounding bis
praises. Then that dear, stupid old doc
tor, whenever ho got a letter from Lynn,
must needs show it to her nnd dilate on
flie fine prospect extending before a young
fellow with such manly feeling nnd high
aim.
It was the end of the second week In
March, and people were speculating on
the day when Lynn Yeanies would make
his appearance, when something occurred
which upset everything; it was nothing
loss than a moral cataclysm altering tho
entire aspect of affairs.
Coming homo that particular afternoon,
I found n visitor in my office who had
been waiting there three parts of nn hour
to see me. Ho was a little pudgy man,
with n short throat, a puffy face, and
eyes as like a pig's ns ever I saw. He
breathed with difficulty, and gasped be
fore each sentence, nnd In the middle nlso
if it was a long one. He had not much
hair; what there was of It had n dirty,
sandy tint; his whiskers were hardly
distinguishable, they were so thinly
planted, and like his complexion. Ho
was dressed in a tightly-buttoned frock
coat that formed deep ridges In his waist,
and seemed to increase the difficulty of
breathing. In one hand he held his hat,
in the other a pair of gloves, and both
rested on his knees, which, by reason of
their shortness nnd pudgiuess, were wide
ly separated.
"Afternoon, Mr. Kcene; nfternoon,
sir," he gasped, turning Ills little blue
eyes In the corner before he couul screw
himself up on hin legs to face me. "Come
to tnlk with you on a matter of busi
ness. My name's Bax Smithson Bax ;"
with this ho sank down on his chair and
gasped again.
"Not the pleasure of knowing you, Mr.
Bax," said I, sitting down in front of
him

milking directly into tho eamplo bot

and tho lat part of stripping is very
rich in fat, it is self-ovidont Ihnt such
a 8iimplo would yield results of littlo
vnlue so far as determining tho actual
richness of that pirtlcular cow's milk.
Tho milk to bo tested should bo

bo placed in an aiitiyjlit jar and some
preservative ndtlod to kei p It sweet.
Tho Babcock tost bottles aro gradu
ated on the supposition that an 18
gram sample is taken. Milk varies
very little in its specific trravlty and a
p'pette graduated to hold 17.6 cubic
centimeters will deliver approximately
18 grama of milk. When tho t-amplo
is r-'ady for testing, tho jar containing
it ehould be placed in warm uater and
slowly heated to a temperature of nbout
70 degrees Fahrenheit. Mix the sam
ple well; espBclally see that any cream
which may have gathered on the side
of the jar is carefully mixed with tho
other part of the samp'e. The measur
ing p'pette is now filled to tho mark.
This is dono by sucking tho milk up
into the p'pette above tho mark; the
dry forefinger Is immediately placed
over tho top of the plpatto to prevent
tho milk from e'fcsping. By gently
releasing the nressure the milic is al
lowed to flow out until level with the
mark on the stem of tho p petto. The
p'pette now contains tho 18 grains.
The sample is now emptied into the
test bottle. lo do this tho test bottle
should be held in a slanting position,
j the pressuro on the pipette released, al
lowing tho milk to slowly run Into the
bottle in such a way as to allow tho air
to gradually escape from the bottle.
The next step is adding the acid.
Tliis is measured in the acid graduate;
I the exact amount to use will depend
I can produce a witness to largely on the strength of the acid, tho
temperature of the sample to be tested,
etc. If ordinary commercial sulphuric
acid is used, 17 6 cubic centimeters
will be found approximately correct.
With a little Individual experimenting
tho tester will soon notice tho proper
amount to use. To prevent the hi rn
ing or charring of any part of the milk
tho acid is poured slowly down the side
of the bottie until all has been nd led.
Now give tho bottle a gentle rotary
motion, thus giving the acid u chance
to act equally on all parts o' the milk.
Then let it stand three or four minutes,
after which it is given another rotary
movement and then placed in the
tester.
The bottles are placed in the tester
in such a position as to keep the ma
chine balanced. The bottles should
now be whirled for five or six minutes
at such speed an is generally marked on
the machine. The machine is now al
lowed to slow down for the purpose of
adding water to tho bottles. Knough
water is added to bring the contents up
to the neck of the bottle, after which
the machine is again started and run
for two minutes; again stopped urn
sufficient warm water addeI to bring
all the fat contents up into the gradu
ated part of the bottle. After another
whirling of one minute tho samples aro
to be read. It may be well to state
that it is preferable to use soft water
land that the temperature should be
about 120 degress Fahrenheit.
To read the amount of fat, take one
oottle out ut a time, hold it upright,
the graduated part should be on a level
with the eyes. The difference hotweep
tho highest and lowest limits of the
butter fat column is the amount of but

Most milk battles aro graduated up to
10 per cent, each hirgo division indi
cates one per cent und each email divis

fat. To illustrate tho method of read
ing lot It ho supposed that tho top of
the fat column is at 8.(3, and tho bot
tom at 4 G, then the readings 8.5-4.5
equals 4 per cent fat. This, means that
in 100 pounds of Jhis kind of milk
there would bo exactly 4 pounds of fat.
If tho testing has beon properly done
tho butter fat column should bo per

the line sopurating it from tho acid

Ht ruction unit management of hotbeds
is a vory timely topic for tho prospec
tive gatdo'ior to consider.
First of all, a hotbed may bo doflncd
ns an Inclosuto covered with snsh and
furnished with artificial hent so that
tho plants ate kept in an actively grow
ing condition. Common stable inanuro
constitutes tho mln sourco for securing
this best. Thero nre several require
ments that should be noted regarding
tho kind and quality of manuro ued
for hotbeds. It should be practloally
the same age throughout, and It should
bo of such texture that when packed it
will nfither be fluffy nor will it bi
Boggy. On tiio other hand, it should
respond with springy elasticity be
neath tho weight of a man, without
fluffing up when tho pressuro Is re
moved, llorso manure which has from
one-third to ono-half straw composing
its total bulk will usually bo found to
provide this requisite texture. More
over, this manure should be fresh, in
order that fermentation may proceed
rapldlly.
The process of fermentation la started
before tho manure is placed in tho hot
bed. To accomplish this the manure
is usually piled in long, shallow,
square-topped piles; If dry when piled,
It is moistened throughout, and if it Is
npt to becomo water-soaked, as is th
case in rainy climates, it should bo
piled under shelter, for wheie so much
moisture is present manure will re
main cold. Tho 11 ret fermentation la
alumst sure to bo Irregular, so it is ne
ccsnary to fork over tho pile, distribut
ing the hot manure throughout the
mass, in order to get the hent uniform
ly distributed. When it Is noticed
that t tea in is coming from tho pilo
again unlformy, it may Ik? takon ns evi
dence that the manure Is rcudy to place
In the hotbed.
After ono thoroughly understands tho
Important details of preparing tho
manure for the purpose of heating, at
tention should ho culled to the location
and construction of tho pit and frame.
Pits nre usually dug frotn 24 to 30
inches deep and of sufficient elm to nil
in it the frames being placid insido
their walls. BjcIi pits should bu lo
cated near some much-tiequenlod pnth,
in order that they are sure to receive
the requisite amount of attention. Al
ways ha vo the hotbed facing the south
and If such a slto is avnilab'u, put it on
tho south sldo of somo building or tight
board fence or hill. Protection should
also be sought from tho prevailing
winds, for winds have a decided offtct
in carrying away tho heat. A well
drainid location is aluo un iseontial ro
uirement. i
Hotbed euHh are .'Jxfl fcot In bIjso and
cost about 3 each. Frames for theso
BUfh aro made witli tho back 12 Inches
higher than tho front, the lattor being
10 inches. Tho number of rash and
the size of tho fiamo will depend upon
tho ntols of the family. Usually ono
frame 3x0 feet will afford sufficient
hotbed area for a family of hIx.
Hefore the framo Is placed upon tho
pit the fermenting manuro Is placed In
tho pit and thoroughly compneted,
bringing the lovol of tho manure to
within three inches of tho eurfiuo of
the soil. From throi to six Indus of
good loamy garden soil nro distributed
evenly over the surfaco of tho inanuro
in order to urnish a seed bed. Tho

heat cf the fiist fow days has begun to
