CHAPTER III.
Mr. Rawson found even a warmer
reception than he had anticipated
nwaltlng him when he presented him
self the following day In Stafford
Square. Bitter reproaches were show
ered upon him for his disloyal encour
agement of an ungrateful son, a weak,
cont-mptlble dupe. But Mr. Rawson
defended himself bravely.
No one could do so much with Mrs.
Savllle as the family solicitor. First.
he was a shrewd, far-seeing man, of
great experience and undoubted in
tegrity, In whose judgment she had the
greatest conufidenco. Then, too, he
was a rich man and perfectly Inde
pendent, both In position and In char
acter. So high was her opinion of him
that she deigned to call periodically
on his daughters, and some years be
fore, when she was in the habit of
giving a large ball every season, sent
them Invitations, which were general
ly declined. Hugh Saville had been at
school with the solicitor's only son,
who was also In the navy, and, when
the young fellow evinced a tendency
to drink, stood by him and helped him
at the turning-point where, but for
friendly help, he might have taken the
downward road.
Mr3. Savllle was too clever a woman
to be a snob, though her love of power
and distinction made her over-value
the effect of rank and title upon her
fellow-creatures. She was quite wil
ling that her sons should be on famll
iar terms with Mr. Rawson's famllv;
they were perfectly safe In the society
of his quiet, unpretending daughters;
while the sincere regard entertained
by Mr. Rawson for the family of his
distinguished client, whose dsbts, diffl
culties, and involvements made many
tteps In the ladder by which his fath
cr and himself had climbed to fortune.
lent something of a feudal character
to the tie existing between them
To Mrs. Saville the greatest power
on earth was money; but she was no
miser. She could be lavishly gener
ous at times, especially to any one
who had served or gratified her own
'precious self. She could throw alms,
too, to the needy, as you would a bone
to starving curs; but to her the poor
were not exactly men or brothers. Yet,
Tis her son said, she was not without
heart, only lifelong undisputed com
xnand and unchecked prosperity had
hardened it; no one could do much for
her, or give her anything she had not
already, and amid the splendid sun
shine of her existence one email cloud,
"no bigger than a man's hand," cast
a deep shadow against which her In
ner heart rebelled. She was conscious
that no one loved her, except, indeed,
her son Hugh. This It was that made
her so hard; she did not realize that
her manner, her haughty aspect, re
pelled such sweet free-will offerings as
love and tenderness.
"My dear madam," said Mr. Raw
son when she paused in her reproach
es, "I can quite understand your dis
pleasure, but suffer me to suggest that
I have a right to receive whom I like
In my own house. I do not defend
your son's imprudence; but, though
you renounce him, surely you would
not wish to deprive the poor young
fellow of friends as well as kindred?
To persecute him Is revenge, and to
that I will be no party."
"I do not understand these nice dis
tinctions," cried Mrs. Saville, "but I
think your giving shelter to to thit
disobedient boy Is inconsistent with
loyalty to me."
"Not In my opinion. Your son Is not
the first young man who has left fath
er and mother to cleave unto his wife.
Ho has been singularly Imprudent;
still "
"Imprudent ! A dupe! a fool! an un
grateful idiot! Can't you see the game
of the adventuress all through?"
"I must say, such a construction
might be put on the disastrous story.
If you are right, however," continued
Mr. Rawson, "your Bon is more sinned
against than sinning. If Mr. Hugh
Savllle's wife Is the sort of a woman
you imagine, she will hardly live for
a year and more away from her hus
band, and within reach of the crow
with which her father used to aRso
elate, without getting Into a scrape of
some kind. I propose to havo ber
carefully watched. If she gives us just
reason for action, let her be punished
and your son aaved from her clutches.
If she proved a good woman and true,
why, you must relax something of your
severity," i
"I can safely promise what you will,
If she proveB good and true. How do
you propose to find out?"
"The lady remains near Nice, in the
same rooms occupied by her father.
Mr. Savllle thinks that the owner of
the house Is kind and respectable; his
wife knows little of English wayB, and,
besides. It is cheaper. Now, there Is
a man already employed In similar
work by an eminent firm, and he can
quite well accept a second coinmls
slon; only he must be warned not to
find out what does not exist. We want
facta, not condemnation,"
I want freedom for my son; but
the Idea la a good one, Mr. Rawson
shall never be the same to Hugh, but
I should profer punishing the worn
an."
"It is but natural," remarked Raw-
son.
Kememoer, Mr. Rawson, I must
havo my will to-niorr(ow; I am detor
mined to destroy It. It strikes me
that your coming without' It to-day
iooks very like playing Into Hugh's
nands.
Hir i . .
i on ao us ootn injustice, l am re
luctant you should change It, but your
son never mentioned the subject to
me. Indeed, he is too breathlessly
busy, and a good deal harassed by his
by the lady's anxiety to come out as
a public singer, for which she was
trained. He "
"Anything but that! Imagine the
name of Mrs. Hugh Saville In huge let
ters at the top of a play-bill! It would
be monstrous!"
"Oh, she would come out as Slg
flora somebody. I would not oppose it
If I were you. But I think your son
has forbidden the plan."
"Why should I take any further
trouble?" said Mrs. Saville, throwing
herself back in her chair. "Let things
go."
"Very well." Mr. Rawson rose to
take leave. "Lord Everton arrived
yesterday. He makes some short stay
In town, but no doubt he will call on
you."
"Then I shall not see him. I shall
get away, I hope next week; I cannot
stay in town; yet I dread the coun
try. Do not forget to send my will
this afternoon by a special messen
ger."
I shall he sure to do so."
And come the day after to-morrow
to take my instructions for a new one.
I don't wish to die intestate."
"My dear Mrs. Savllle, what a comic
idea!"
"If yotf knew how I felt you would
not think it an unnatural one."
A few weeks 'quiet in the country
will set you up."
The country without companion
ship will not be cheerful; yet I want
to get away from every one. At In-
glefleld, however, I have my gardens."
A delightful resource," said Raw-
son, absently. His attention had begun
to wander, and he hastened to make
his adleux.
A conspiracy of small things, how
ever, seemed to have been formed
against the execution of Mrs. Savllle's
plans.
Rawson faithfully fulfilled his prom
ise, and sent her will, which that very
night she tore up with vicious energy
and burned in the empty grate of her
dressing-room, but the trusty adviser
was immensely engaged for the next
fortnight, and when he offered the ser
vices of his partner they were invari
ably declined. Then, by some mis
take, there had been a delay In begin
ning certain repairs and deroratlons
at Inglefield, and when she drove
down to Inspect them she found the
smell of paint so overpowering that
she at once postponed her removal for
at least ten days. Finally she sent for
her doctor and commanded him to pre
scribe for the bad feverish cold she
declared she had caught, and above
all to order absolute quiet. , All this
time her eldest son was absent. He
was spending a delightful and profita
ble few days, which stretched Into a
fortnight, with a learned antiquarian
vho had a place in Lincolnshire, from
where they enjoyed themselves exam
ining the fine old churches to be found
in that shire, taking rubbings of brass
es, and spending happy mornings in
deciphering half-effaced inscriptions.
These were bitter days to tne proud.
selfish woman, who felt that the love
which had kept her heart from freez
ing, hor nature from growing quite
stony, had been snatched from her
by a stranger, a mere adventuress.
who most likely saw in Hugh only a
useful husband, whose money and po-
sition would make life luxurious and
secure. For the sake of this stranger,
the son she loved bo well In her own
silent, exacting way had cast aside all
sense of duty, all affection, all regard
for rightful authority; and to her it
seemed a moral earthquake,
The feverish cold she feigned at first
became really an attack of low fever,
and her medical attendant grew anxi
ous that she should have change of air.
Ill or well, she never ceased to In
sist on having her new will complet
ed and brought to her for execution. In
vain Mr. Rawson begged for her to
await the return of her eldest son and
consult him first. Mrs. Savllle reject
ed the suggestion with scorn.
"Richard knowa nothing about busi
ness, no nas preposterous unworldly
notions. I have no respect whatever
for his opinion; bo Just bring me my
will, without further maneuvering. I
know you aro working for that un
grateful, worthless son of mine; but
it Ib of no use. If you refuse to do
my bidding I can find plenty who
wllL"
ro$' true, Mrs. Savillo; but I o
, not -deny that I am reluctant to soo
iny young friend cut off without ovon
a shilling. Do not bo in a Hurry. You
cannot toll what tlmo may bring
forth."
"tfo, Mr. Rawson, I will not wait.
Death may como at any moment, and
I could not rest In my gravo if I
thought that designing minx was ro-
veiling In tho enjoyment of my mon
ey."
"Well, then, I will do you bidding.
Tho day after to-morrow I will sond
my head clerk with tho will. Wou can
get one of your own peoplo for a sec
ond witness."
"Then I shall leave town on Thurs
day. Until I havo signed, sealed, and
delivered It Into yoilr hands. I shall
not quit this house. Can I trust it to
you, Mr. Rawson?"
"My dear madam, do you tako me
for a felon?"
Mrs. Savllle smiled a Bwift, bright
smllo, such as at raro very rnro - in
tervals lit up her grave face.
"Well, I shall leavo It In your
hands." There was a short pause, and
she resumed: "Among all this worry,
I suppose you have not had tlmo to
find me a lady companion?"
"Yes, I have made some Inquiries,
and find It is no oasy matter. The
fact Is, I enlisted my oldest daughter
In your service. She is a sensible
thoughtful young woman, and very
anxious to select the right nrtlcle. She
was speaking to mo only this morn
ing, and was rather depressed about it.
There are shoals of women seeking
such an appointment, but Very few
that are suitable."
"One that did not suit would be
worso than none."
"Exactly. Now, my daughter sug
gested something that might suit, if
you do not mind waiting a week."
"I fear, Mr. Rawson, I shall havo to
wait considerably longer."
"Well, the lady I was going to men
tion is tho niece of our rector down
in Wales, my native place. He -has
been dead many years, but this girl
lived on with his widow, who died a
few months ago. She Is un orphan,
very slenderly provided for, and is
coming to stay with my girls for a
few weeks. She is a gentlewoman, and
well educated. I have not seen her
since sho was very young, so I will
take a look at her before I say any
more. If I think It worth while trou
bling you, she might call, and you
could form your own Judgment, or
take her on trial for a couple of
months."
Thank you, Mr. Rawson. I am
very much obliged, i snouid uko to
see her; for. I cannot have a fright or
dowdy before my eyes every day
When do you expect this girl?"
"I am not quite sure. Soon, certain
h.M
"I should like to see her before I
leave."
'I will ask my daughter to write
this evening and ask her to come a
little sooner."
"Yes,. pray do. If-she Ib at all rea
sonabie and Intelligent, she may be of
great use to me. Imagine, Mr. Raw-
son, Lady Olivia proposing to give me
her 'dear Sophia' for six months, to
be my daughter and to cheer me up!
Why, the girl is as great an idiot as
her mother!'
"Indeed! The offer was well meant."
"I hate well-meaning people."
Mr. Rawson laughed. "I suppose I
may tell you I bad a few lines from
Mr. Hugh " he began, when he was
swiftly silenced by an Imperative, "No,
you may not, I will not allow that
name to be mentioned before me, un
less, indeed, we can succeed in break
ing this unfortunate marriage."
wr. uawson, looking very grave,
bent his head.
"By the way, what is the name of
the lady you mentioned?"
"Oh! Miss Desmond."
"I will see her," said Mr. Savillo,
with decision. "I can tell at a glance
whether she will do or not,''
"Then I shall wish you a very good
morning, and my daughter will let
you Know wnen miss Desmond can
wait upon you."
Mra. Saville thanked him again, and
bade him a gracious good-by.

A Michigan farmer gives thcso in
structions for killing quack grass:
Plow five or six Inches deep in tho
growing season, say April, May and
June. 'Give it a good digging, then
cultivate with a cultivator that has
teeth close enough bo thoy will cut
tho roots two or two and one-half
Inches under tho ground. Tho secrot
la to keep it from getting to tho sur
face. It wants holding down six
weeks. It does not tako expensive
tools. I use an old-fashioned culti
vator that waa bought fifty years ago.
It hao seven teeth, threo in front, four
In rear; each tooth cuts six inches
wide. It Ib good to drag It over after
three or four days. I cultivate onco
a week for six weeks; It has nover
failed mo yet. Tho roots will bo dead
as bay. It is good for Canada thistles.
If one is doubtful, tako a rod or more
square and keep It down for Blx
weeks and see how It works. This was
done with a hoe on two acres, and 100
bushels of smutnosa corn were raised
to the acre, planted in drills ono foot
apart and boed to kill.
Fat In 3111k.
It can not bo that tho butter fat In
milk Is obtained from tho fat stored
In the tissues of the cow, otherwise the
animal would Boon become emaciated.
Cows obtain the butter fat in milk
from the food they eat and digest, and
not from the reserve or accumulation
of fat In their bodies. Reason as well
aa observation teaches that cows ex
tract butter fat from the food they
consume and digest, and to produce a
large percentage of cream the rations
of the cow should bo rich in tho ele
ments of nitrogen and carbohydratos,
which are found in linseed meal, mid
dlings, oran, corn meal and ground
oats. At the Cornoll University cowh
that yielded 200 pounds of butter fat
annually under ordinary feeding yield
ed 310 pounds when given liberal
rations of feed rich In nitrogen and
varbohydrates. Cream will not mako
butter unless It contains fat, and
profitable fatH will not bo produced
unless cows are fed on rations rich in
the elements that produce cream.
