HAT GOLD CANNOT
BUY Is ono of tho star
stories. It Is rarely that
a better ono la offered.
Its class Is that of tho
home circle, and this
powerful serial Is rec
ommended for Its force
ful delineation of every-day characters
In connection with simple, yet ani
mating, Incidents that form tho his
tory of Interesting lives.
Mrs. Savllle Is a wealthy, self-willed
woman, whose Imperious nature
brooks no opposition. Sho really be
lieves that her money will buy her
not only luxury and ease, but power.
She thinks that power will enable her
to gain and guide those about her to
her own will, but she finds that there
Is something that gold will not buy,
namely, love.
In a most Interesting way the ro
mance tells how her son, Hugh Sa
vllle, marries the girl of his choice
against the wishes of his mother. She
turns him from her home and he Is
sent to war. His wife determines,
during his absence, to win the love of
the selfish mother. Under a false
name she becomes engaged as the
companion of Mrs. Savllle.
The story of her trials, her patience,
her humiliations brings out the nobili
ty of her true nature and perfect
womanhood. Day by day she wins the
love of the lonely old woman, whose
false pride and wasted wealth sink
Into nothingness in the final reconcili
ation with her son, and this charming
romance ends In a happiness that has
been well and worthily won by a most
captivating and worthy heroine.
CHAPTER I.
Mrs. Sayville had stayed unusually
long in town, and, at the moment cho
sen to open this storj vras sitting at
the writing-table In her 'private room,
a rlchly-furnlshed and luxurious apart
ment with yellow brocade curtains and
stained-glass windows. She was a
small, slight woman, with regular, del
icate features, quick, dark eyes, and
hair nearly white, combed back and
surmounted by a tiny cap of exquisite
lace with a tuft of scarlet velvet rib
bon. The Bmall thin hand which held
her pen was loaded with rings that
rQashed and glittered even in the sub
dued sunshine, while the other gently
caressed the head of a small, Bllky.
pearl-colored dog which lay on a chair
beside her.
She was speaking with a fair, large
lady about her own age, who occupied
an arm chair at the other side of the
table, and who was rather gorgeously
attired in out-door dress.
"I am sure I interrupt you. You
are always so busy," said the latter,
with a comfortable smile, but showing
no Inclination to move.
"I do not mind being interrupted
this morning," returned Mrs. Savllle,
not too graciously; "my eyes are very
tiresome. They smart so when I read
or write for any time. I really must
get an amanuensis." ,
"Is It possible?' I should never sus
pect your eyes of being weak. The
seem strong enough and sharp enough
to see through anything."
"Thank you; they have served my
purpose well enough."
"When do you leave town?"
"I am not quite sure. I do not care
to go until Hugh returns. He ought to
be here now. This scare about trouble
with Russia may bring him his ap
pointment to a ship any day, and he
ought to be on the spot He has been
ashore now for nearly a year."
"I wonder he chose the navy," said
the visitor. "I should think the army
must be much the most agreeable pro
fession." "My dear Lady Olivia! who can ac
count for a young man's vagaries? My
son is positively enthusiastic about his
profession. He Is very scientific, y.ou
know, and will, I have no doubt, rise
to great eminence."
"Oh, I dare say he Is very clever,
but he Is not a bit like other young
men. I confess I do not understand
him."
"No," returned Mrs. Savillo, with
much composure, "I don't suppose you
do."
"Plot clever enough myself, eh?"
raid tfldy Olivia, with a good-humored
smile. 'Where Is this bright partlcu
lah star of yours Just now?"
"When he last wrote bo was still
at Nice. He has stayed on there too
long, I think, I trust and hope he
does not visit Monto Carlo too often;
I am not much obliged to Lord Ever
ton for Introducing Hugh fa his gam
bling friends there,"
"I don't fancy poor Everton's frlenda
are generally what would be consid
ered eligible acquaintances for tho
young and Inexperienced, especfally
when they have pretty daughters who
sing like angels or prima donnas,"
she added, with a comfortable laugh,
"Pooh!" cried Mrs. Savllle, with a
flash of anger in her keen black eyes,
"Hugh Is quite Indifferent to all that
nonsense."
"Ia heT What an unnatural mon
terl" said Lady Olivia, rising. "I
VUh I could say the same of my
Qeorge! However, ho has take to
admire married women lately which
Is a great relief."
Mrs. Savllle also stood up, and rang
tho bell. "Whero Is Evorton Just now?
I want him so much to' write to his
cousin, Captain Drydges, on Hugh's
behalf. I don't understand how It was
ho did not do so before on his own ac
count." "Oh, nobody knows whero Evorton is
to be found. Ho Is coming to us in
September nt Herondyke."
"Lady Olivia Lumloy's carriage"
said Mrs. Savillo to tho man vho an
swered tho bell.
"Good morning, then, dear Eliza
beth. Don't try your oyos too much.
Shall we meet you at tho Montgom
ery's to-night?"
"No; I am really sick of society."
"My dear, you must be seriously
ill?" cried Lady Olivia, with another
good-humored but rather silly laugh,
and tho sisters-in-law shook hands', and
parted. .
Mrs. Savllle picked up her little dog
and took a turn up and down the room
with It under her left arm, a look of
extreme annoyance quivering In her
eyes. "What a fool that woman Is!"
she murmured to herself; "not even a
well-bred fool! and to. look at her, who
would lmaglno she was tho daughter
of one earl, the sister of another? yet
there she Is, started by the moro acci
dent of birth In a position which cost
me all my fortune, my aristocratic
marriage, my brains, to achieve. Still,
I do not complain; had these class dis
tinctions not existed, there would have
been nothing to strive for, nothing to
attain. Still, Lady Olivia is a fool;
you are a wiseacre to her, my pre
cious Prince," sho continued, patting
the dog's head; "you are a natural
aristocrat; so Is Hugh, though ho has
some abominably radical Ideas."
Here tho footman opened tho door,
and said, deferentially, "If you please,
'm, Mr. Rawson would like to see you."
"Yes, certainly. Show him up."
In a few minutes the door again
opened, to admit a gentleman, a short,
stout, well-dressed man, slightly
breathless, and apparently well braced
up In his admirably-fitting clothes. His
hair and complexion were of that neu
tral tint which Is termed "pepper and
salt," his eyes light gray and twink
ling with a perception of the ridicu
lous, and his air, though it was po
litely respectful, showed a certain as
sured familiarity Indicative of a con
fidential position.
"Well, Mr. Rawson," said Mrs. Sa
vllle, resuming her seat and placing
her small favorite on the chair beside
her, "what has brought you here to
day?" Her tone was considerably more
amiable than it had been to her pre
vious visitor.
"What will, I hope, give you satis
faction. I fancy we will succeed in
getting that piece of the Everton prop
erty you have been so anxious to pur
chase, for your price, and It will be a
decided bargain. I am to see the
vendor's solicitor finally on Thursday,
when I fancy he will come In to our
terms."
VI am very pleased, Mr. Rawson,
very pleased Indeed. I must say, you
always manage my business most sat
isfactorily. But you say several farms
on tho property are unlet. Now, I
want my money to bring me In a de
cent percentage. What do you pro
pose doing with the land?" Where
upon solicitor and client plunged into
an animated discussion, in which Mrs.
Savllle proved herself to be a shrewd
woman of business.
"Well, Mr. Rawson," she said, after
a short pause, "respecting a smaller
matter, yet not an unimportant one.
Have you made any Inquiries about an
amanuensis or companion for mo?"
"I hardly thought you were serious
in tho wish you expressed "
"I am, exceedingly serious," she In
terrupted. "My maid, who has Just
loft me, was really a very superior
person, and could read aloud very
well; now I have a totally different
woman. I must have some one who Is
fairly educated, who can write, and
keep accounts, and read French I like
French novels; she must be fit to asso
ciate with, yet ready to leave me to
myself at a nod; I cannot be hampered
with any one whose feelings I have to
consider. She must have pleasant man
ners and a sweet voice-, and look fit
to be seen at luncheon and when she
comes out with me."
"My dear madam, you have Indeed
set me a task! You must give me
some time to find out such a treas
ure." "I cannot give you much time. You
must find her as soon as you possibly
can. Advertise In all the papers;
heaps of young women will apply;
pick out one or two, but on no account
let me be worried with an Indiscrimi
nate string of candidates; I know I
shall be disgusted with them. I will
not ask any of my acquaintances; they
always recommend the most unsuita
ble people md are offended If you do
not take thobr proteges. Then they
bore you with pitiful stories. No, my
dear Mr. Rawson, let It be a purely
business matter."
"I shall do my best Suppose I try
an advertisement In a provincial pa
per "
"Do what you like; only rmember

ble, not give me any."
"The labors of Hercules were a trifle
to this," sighed Mr, Rawaon.
"Oh, you will do It as cleverly as you
do everything. Now, tell me, have you
heard anything of my son lately H
"Of which, may I aakTMr?" Sa
vllle ?"
"No; of Hugh."
"Well, no, not for a weak. Ha vm
at Nice I think."
"1 know that, and It makes ma rtry
unoasy. Why doos ho slay there? It
Is not the Benson."
-"Aro'you afraid of Monto Carlo? I
don't think you need bo. Mr, Hugh
Savillo novor was Inclined to.gamble;"
"1 am afraid of Bomothlng. much
worse a designing woman.''
"Indeed!" And Mr. Rawson glanced
curiously at her.
"Yes," continued Mra. Savllle, strok
ing tho little dog's head thoughtfully,
"When he was abroad eomo ttmo ago
he made tho acquaintance of a horrid
old gambling, dlsroputablo .friend of
Lord TUvorton's. This man has ntlnnrh.
tor; and I heard' accidentally that
Hugh was a great deal with her. When
ihy son roturncd I warned him against
such penniless adventurers. He laugh
od In an odd, bitter way, and said,
'Don't trouble yourself, my dear moth
er; Miss Hilton would not look at me.'
I at once saw somo deep Bchomo in
this; don't you?"
"Woll, I can't possibly say; thore
are so many sld03 to human naturo
feminine human naturo especially.
The young lady must bo rather pecu
liar If sho would not look at Mr. Hugh
Savllle. I should say ho was rather a
pleasant object"
"I know you are fond of Hugh, Mr.
Rawson; your regard for him strength
ens the old ties . that your excellent
service has created."
"Humph!" said Rawson to himself,
"does sho think I am her footman?"
"Yes," ho observed, "your son was a
truo friend to my poor wild lad. It's
owing to him that ho is what he la
now, and has a chanco of a respect
ablo life."
"I am very glad he was of use to
your son," returned Mrs. Savllle, with
an air of Infinite superiority. ."But,
Mr. Rawson, do you not think Hugh's
answer evasive?"
"Mr. Hugh Savillo Is never ovaslve.
Ho may havo been a Uttlo huffed with
the young lady."
"Then she was on tho track of some
other prey," said Mrs. Savllle, scorn
fully. "I nave an admirable match for
Hugh, deslrablo In every way; so,
when I found he hnd wandered back
to Nice and was. lingering there, I felt
not a little uneasy."
"Did you say the young lady's name
Is Hilton?" asked Rawson, suddenly.
"Yes; her father Is, or calls himself,
Captain Hilton."
"Thtm I don't think you need dis
tress yourself. I saw tho death of a
Captain Hilton about a fortnight ago
In a newspaper. Ho died somewhere
in France, but not at Nice. I noticed
the name because oh, because 1 have
heard Lord Everton speak of him."
"How can you tell if It bo the
same?" Mrs. Savllle was beginning,
with great animation, when the butler
appeared, carrying on a salver a large
envelope bearing the inscription "On
Her Majesty's Service" and addressed
to Lieutenant Hugh Savllle.
"This is some appointment for my
son," cried Mrs. Savllle. "I knew It
would come in this unexpected way. Is
It not maddening that he should be
absent?" As sho spoke, sho tore the
letter open and glanced at It, and ox
claiming, "Yes, as I thought!" handed
it to her confidential adviser. He took
It, and read as follows:
"Admiralty, Whitehall, July 20.
"Sir I havo the honor to Inform
you that you are appointed to H. M. S.
Vortlgern, Flag-ship of Admiral Ward
iaw, on the West Indian Station.
. "You will proceed by the Mall leav
ing Southampton on the 2Cth Instant
for Port Royal, Jamaica.
"If H. M. S. Vortlgern has lert.Vou

val Officer, from whom you will get
directions where to Join your ship.
"I have the honor to bo, sir, your
obedient servant,
"ROBERT BROWN,
"Secretary to the Admiralty.
"To Lieutenant Hugh Savillo,
"Stafford Square, S. W."
"There, that Is Just the opening
Hugh has wished for lieutenant of
the flag-ship on the West Indian Sta
tion. Why, If this threatened rupture
with Russia comes to anything, the
West Indian Bquadron would most
probably be ordered to the Black Sea
nothing Is moro probable; then ho
might havo a chance of distinguishing
himself. I want to seo my son an ad
miral! How infinitely pnnoklng that
he should be absent!"
"You must telegraph to him without
a moment's loss of time," said Mr.
Rawson. "If he starts to-morrow, or
to-night, why. he'll be hero in thirty
six hours. Very little tlmo need be
lost. Shall I wire for you?"
"Oh, yes, please; and reply to this,
too. Let them know he la corning."
"Well, there Is little danger of your
son being caught now, Mrs. Savllle.
If Venus herself had her hand on him
he must break away, when such a aunv
mons may mean fighting. Good morn
ing. Leave the telegraph to me, and
accept my best congratulations." Mr.
Rawson bowed himself out.
Mrs. Savillo mechanically rose and
rang the bell. Then she stood In
thought for a minute, and rang again.
This time the butler presented him
self. "Atkins," said his mistress, "I ex
pect Mr. Hugh on Wednesday or
Thursday, He will only stay to col
lect his 'luggage, and goeB on to Join
the ship to which he has Just been ap
pointed. I want you to look out his

whatever you can see is wanting, and
order the carriage Immediately aftor

think I might as well go to the Mont

"I feel 80 relieved.

Hero's a good method of ventilating
an ordinary stable. Intako flues are
constructed In the side walls. Tho ven
tilation flues will take up considerable
spaco but are more efficient than a
single flue. Openings aro at or near
the floor level and tho tops several feet
above tho ridge of the root. Caps or
cowls may be placed over them to keep
out rain and snow.

them to hunt,, and while thus employ
ed thoy will find bugs and worms that
will quicken thp production of eggs. It
Is well to follow this plan as soon as
the spado will turn tho ground, for It
adds vigor and strength to tho hons
and Insures strong, healthy chicks. Tho

about, eat and grow fat. If sho will

rest assured that tho Indolent hen Is
