The vindictive .pleasure of signing her .will, and receiving a stiff acknowl edgment from Mr. Rawson of Its safe receipt, occupied Mrs. Savlllo for a few days, before the expiration of which she received a few polite lines from Miss Rawson saying that, If quite convenient, Miss Desmond would call on Mrs. Savlllo between one and two on the following day. "I am sure I hope she will do. anil not be too silly," thought the lmperl ous little woman, as she penned a brief acceptance of the npolntment. "The generality of women are wonder fully foolish and narrow; though men are Idiotic enough too. occasionally. A whole day of Richard's company Is al most more than I can stand; yei he Is always respectable, and would never commit the culpable folly his there, I will not think any more of that." The morrow came bright and warm, and Mrs. Savllle established herself In the smaller of her two drawing-rooms, a beautiful and gorgeously-furnished room, full of buhl and marble-lnlald tables, luxurious chalr3 and sofas, old china statuettes, flowers, and all the etceteras which wealth can give. It opened on a small conservatory In which a fountain played, and was cool er than her boudoir. SKe was half-recllnlng among the cushions of a lounge, with her pre cious little dog beside her, and trying to give her attention to a newspaper, when the door was opened and "Cap tain Lumley" was announced. "Why, where did you come from?" she exclaimed, not too cordially, and holding out her small-berlnged hand to a tall, slight, well-set-up young man, with light hair and moustaches, laugh Ing eyes, and a certain resemblance to Hugh Savllle, though of a slighter. weaker type. "From Herondyke, my dear aunt,' he returned, drawing a chair beside her. "I have just a day or two In town, and I thought I'd try If you were still here." "Are you on your way to Houns low?" "Yes, Just like my luck! they give me my leave when there's not a thing to do. And that young beggar Mlg nolles, my sub, gets It next week." '7I suppose you are all as usual?" "Yes. Uncle Everton Is at Heron dyke Just now, and In great force. He Is the most amusing old boy I ever met. Are you better, Aunt Savllle? My uncle said he called here on his way through, and you were not well enough to see him." "I was not well; and I rertalnly should not get out of my bed to see Lord Everton." "Wouldn't you? Well, I Oh ah yes, to be sure," said the young man, hesitating. "I am glad to see you look ing so much better, at all events," he went on. "When do you go down to Tnglefleld?" "On Saturday." "I can often ride over and see you,' continued Lumley, with a fascinating smile. He had a nice voice and a pleasant caressing manner; Indeed, he was considered a very Irresistible young man by the women, and "not a bad fellow" by the men. "You are very good," frigidly. "I suppose there Is hardly a soul left In town. Just called at the Mont gomerys', and found the house shut up; so I came on hero to have a chat and a bit of luncheon." "My dear George, I don't mean to give you any luncheon. A. lady 1e coming here; she ought to be here now. I am gohig to test her quallflca tlons for the onerous office of compan ion to myself, and I can't have you here talking nonsense." "Won't she be a bore?" "Do you think I shall allow myself to be bored?" "Well, no, Aunt Savllle," said Lum ley, with a bright smile, "I don't think you will." Here the door was again thrown open, and the butler announced, with much dignity, "Miss Desmond." "There, you may go," said Mrs. Sa vllle, impatiently. "Very well," said the young man, good-humoredly. "I will call again be fore I leave town. My mother sent you her best love." "I am very much obliged. If you want a dinner, come back here." "A thousand thanks, I am already engaged. Au revolr!" Ho shook hands and retreated, pausing at the door to lot a lady pass a tall, slender young woman, In a simple black dress, as straight as It could be at that period of flounces, furbelows, draperies, and Bashes. The newcomer was young, yet youthfully mature; she wore a quiet, becoming bonnet, and was rather pale warmly, healthfully pale with wavy nut-brown hair, a pair of dark gray or blue eyoa, deepened by nearly black brows and lashes, a sweet pa thetic mouth and red dewy Hps; she moved with easy undulating grace suggestive of long, well-formed limbs. Ant girl," wu tlie young dra goon's mental commentary, as he stood aside to let her pass, and, with a slight bow, disappeared from tho room. "Miss Desmond," repeated Mrs. Sa vllle, "come and sit hero beside me." She looked piercingly at her visitor ns she made a slight courtesy and handed her a note before taking a t-e.it, say Ing, In a soft, clear, refined voice, "Mr. Rawson was so good as to give me a few Introductory lines." "Quite right. A lawyer's Instinctive precaution," returned Mrs. Savllle, opening It and glancing at the con tunta. ' I suppose you know tho usual sort of service expected from a companion? reading aloud, writing letters, doing the agreeable when there Is no one else to talk, and, above all, understand Ing when to be silent. It can't bo the most delightful kind of life; but you will have a comfortable home If you stay." Miss Desmond had colored faintly while she listened, and now smiled, a pleasant smile, though her lips quiv ered as If she were a little nervous. "When you want to earn your bread, you do not exDect to be housed and paid merely to amuse yourself. 1 think I know what my duties would be." "Add to this knowledge that I am 'a very exacting person, without a tinge of sentiment. I have no notion of treating any one who does me certain service for certain remuneration as a daughter. That Is all nonsense." "I think It Is," said Miss Desmond, calmly. Mrs. Savllle looked at her sharply, and met a pair of very steadfast eyes In which something like a smile lurk ed. "How old are you?" she asked abruptly. "I shall be two-and-twentv In Sep tember next." "Hum! you look at once more and less than that. Can you read aloud?' "Yes. Whether I can read well Is for you to Judge." "Can you play or sing? "I can play a little " "I know what that means. Now suppose you read me this speech of Lord Hartlngton's," handing her the paper, Miss Desmond took It, and im mediately began. After about ten mln utes Mrs. Savllle said, not unkindly "That will do. You read fairly well. You do not pronounce some names properly." "For names there Is no rule, and sometimes opinions respecting them differ. I shall, of course, pronounce them In the way you prefer. ' Mrs. Savllle was silent for a mo ment. "If you are Inclined to try a couple of months with me, I am will Ing to try you." "That is be3t. Trial only can prove If we suit each other." "Have you settled about terms with Mr. Rawson?" "Yes; they are most satisfactory." "Very well. I shall go to the coun try In a day or two, and then I hope you will Join me. You have been on the Continent, I believe; then you can read French?" "Yes, fairly well." "There Is the bell. Pray join me at luncheon." "Thank you, I shall be very happy.' "Takes things coolly," thought Mrs. Savllle; "knows her own value, proba bly. So much tho better. I could not stand a gushing girl." At luncheon the hostess started var lous topics In an easy, unstudied way, and found that her young guest, though far from talkative, was quite equal to discussing them Intelligently. As soon as they rose from the table, Miss Desmond took leave of her new lady patroness, promising to obey her summons whenever It came. "Really," thought Mrs. Savllle, as she dressed for an afternoon airing, "I believe that girl may do. If sho does not, why, It Is no great matter. She certainly has the air and manner of a gentlewoman." CHAPTER V. Mrs. Savllle was far too much pre occupied by her bitter reflections and vengeful projects to bestow many thoughts upon the new member of her household. But Miss Desmond re ceived tho expected summons In due course, and Journeyed punctually by the appointed train towarda her now home. Inglefleld, Mrs. Savlllo's place, had an air of seclusion not to be found at double the distance in other direc tions. The picturesque country round Egham was comparatively free from the eruption of villa residences which crowd other localities. Mrs. Savllle, who felt the quiet of her country home rather oppressive, began to wish for some one to break the painful monotony of her thoughts eomo one whose face and voice were quite unconnected with the past "the past," to her, meaning the ever-present Image of her offending son. She had a certain sense of relief In the pros- peel ef companionship, for In truth she was, and always had boen, n vorj lonely Woman. When, therefore, short ly beforo dinner, Miss Desmond ar rived, sho was received with compara tlvo cordiality. "I told them to soucl down tho omnl bus, ns It would bo more crnvenlcnt for your luggage," said Mrs. Savlllo, after they had exchanged greetings. "My lnggngo consisted of ono dross basket," said Miss Desmond, smiling "Considering that my slay ni bo out short, 1 did not like to bring more' "That wns prudent. Now I am go Ing to dlno early that Is ,at six In order to take a drive afterwards; the evenings nro tho best part "of tho day. That first evening wns trying. Mrs Savlllo was very silent, but so long as they moved smoothly and rapidly through cool dewy woods, fragrant fields, and gently-winding lanes with rustic fences nnd picturesquely-broken mums, mo silence was noi oppressive Miss Desmond had plenty to think of the struggles nnd difficulties of youth spent In genteel poverty; the loss of her nearest and dearest; the vanishing of many a dream that oven a twenty-two life had'taugh' her must be resigned; and, through all, tho en during hopo which In such strango na tures. Is too 'deeply rooted to bo scorch ed by tho noontide heat or wlthcrod by the midnight blast tho instinctive consciousness of her own tenderness and loyally, which gavo vitality to her belief In tho possibility of happiness. The quiet beauty of tho country, the soothing tranquillity of the hour, gave her an exquisite sense of rest which she thankfully accepted. Returned, however, nnd shut up In tho lamp-lit drawing-room, silence did become oppressive, nnd Miss Desmond, remembering her employer's bint, felt reluctant to break It. "I suppose you do needlework? Girls like you generally have something of that kind In their hands." "I do a good deal, and I have some that can appear In a drawing-room." "I used to do fancy-work myself," said Mrs. Savllle, "for It Is Intolerable to sit Idle; but I find I dare not trifle with my eyes, which I have nlways tried too much. However, I must do something. I cannot sit with my hands before me whllo you read." "Knitting Is not bad for the eyes," suggested Miss Desmond. "I have always despised It as pure ly mechanical, but now I shall be obliged to adopt it. Do you know how to knit? can you teach me?" "Yes; I did a good deal of knitting when I was In Germany." "Oh! do you understand German?" "I could make my. way In Germany; but I cannot read German aloud as I do French." "And I do not understand a word of the language. I was only taught French and Italian. Ah, what a po tent epitome of mankind's opinion, the rage for that uncouth tongue as soon as the race that speaks It succeeded! Success Is the measure of everything." "I cannot think so. We have no plumb-line with which to fathom the depth where future triumph lies hid den under present failure." "That Is no argument," returned Mrs. Savllle. "Now, Miss Desmond, I am going to my room, and I dare say you will bo glad to do the same. I breakfast in summer at eight. Good night." The next few days enabled Mrs. Sa vllle and her newly-established com panlon to fit Into their places. "She Is less formidable than I expected," thought the latter. "I must keep con stantly before my mind that she is on her trial with me, as I am with her. I am not bound to spend my life here, nor have I given up my freedom. She Interests me; for, hard as she seems. I believe she Is not without heart Shall I ever be ablo to find It?" "That girl is not so tiresome, after all. She Is not a bit afraid of me,' mused Mrs. Savllle. "How I hate nnd despise folly and cowardice! they gen erally go' together. There's a great deal of style about her, yet she must have boen always steeped to the Hps In poverty. If I had a daughter like her, I shojild want the first htatosman in England for hor husband. Bah! what folly! If I had had a daughter she would have been as Indifferent to me as tho rest, and would probably have married a groom to spite me. As no one cares for me, I had better con centrate my affections on myself. Peo ple may bo Indifferent to love, they are never Indifferent to power; and money Is power, especially If backed by com mon Bense," So tho knitting and reading went on successfully, and Mrs. Savllle was sometimes surprised by tho light-hearted enjoyment which hor companion showed In any drolleries which crop ped up In the course of their readings. Mrs. Savllle herself was not without a certain grim sense of humor, but she wag sometimes surprised, and not too well pleased, at the quick perception of tho ridiculous which so often glearned In Miss Desmond's expressive eyes.

A form of combined stanchion and mangor for calf feeding Is illustrated In a bullotin published by tho Mlchl gnn Experiment Station nnd is recom mended as being vory convenient. Tho prlnclplo on which tho stanchion Is built Is not claimed to be now; tho uso dates hack a numbor of decados, but tho especial application and ad justment of tho ono hereafter describ ed presents somo now features. Thla partlculnr model Is produced ns tho rosult of three years' trial, having un dergone sovernl changes slnco tho first ono was Installed. This appllanco can bo adjusted so as to accommodato tho calf from birth up to twolvo months of nge. Tho calves nro confined lu tho stanchions nt feeding tlmo only. Aftor tho calf has been secured tho milk bucket Is placed In tho mangor; whon tho milk Is consumed tho buckot Is removed nnd ensllngo and menl sup pllod, followed by liny. By using this stanchion mothod of feeding tho maxi mum number of calves can bo kept in a minimum amount of space In n clenn, healthy, thrifty condition, pro viding they are given access to out door yardnge. Tho avorago slzo of tho four calf pens in tho dairy barn, including mnnger space Is 15 feet thrco Inches by 12 foot thrco Inches. Each pen nccommodates eight calves up to flvo or six months of nge. Tho avorago size of two pens In tho grndo hord barn accommodating six calves each, Is 9 feet 9 Inches by 14 foot 10 Inches, nnd three occupied by flvo each nro 10 Vj feet by 11 foot 9 Inches. Of course. In all cases except one the calves have access to yardngo at will. Referring to tho Illustration for de tailed description, tho bottom of tho VIEW 8IIOWI.N0 MASQEB. manger, 18 inches wide, consisting of 2-inch hemlock, Is C Inches abovo the floor. As the front of the manger Is built on rather than against tho bot tom it leaves the Inside bottom meas urement of the mnnger 1C Inches. The side of the manger over which the calf's neck Is placed In feeding is 8 inches abovo the bottom, one-half of this distance being taken up by a 2x4, the balance by tho bottom frame-work MitlurliiU (or Hie .Silo. Ensilage Is being used moro and more for general farm Btock, being fed to some extent to the calves, tho market steors and tho horses. It probably requires a llttlo higher grado of skill to manage a farm with tho silo system. There Is room for Judg ment In putting up tho silo, In han dling the crop and filling tho silo, to say nothing of Its management win ter and summer and tho right plan of feeding. There Is consldorablo to loarn for tho farmer who has always practiced the hay, grain and roots sys toih. Yot tho oxperlenco of those who have made the change seems to Indi cate that thoro is no need of making sorlous inlstakos even tho first year, while tho now system nearly always gives satisfaction under tho circum stances mentioned. Perhaps not ov ery dairy farmer needs a bIIo, but it can not bo denied that a great many moro silos are needed than havo yet been put up. Till! Tolka of I'.KK.

A change In color of butter Is often noticeable In tho same way when cows aro turned to pasture after dry feed. Ituliltt-r Covered Honda.

Tho mangor partitions extend upward as far as tho curved lino shown In tho Ulustrntlon, but thin is tho most faulty featuro of tho fixture, as It Is possible for ono calf to roach over and suck another oiio's cars If tho monl and onsllngo In not promptly supplied nftor tho milk Is consumed, though this rarely Imp pons.

Clearly such a costly process can not bo used for agricultural purposos In a heavily timbered country.
