CHAPTEIt XV. (Continued.) "Who and what 1b h?" cried Lum ley, fiercely, starting forward from where he had been leaning against the wlndom-frame. "I will tell you so much. He la poor like myself, and we have a long strug gle before us, but There, will say no more. Now that you understand there is no hope, you will be able to put me out of your thoughts. Do tell your father he has nothing to fear, at least from me. It Is cruel to disap point a father, a parent See what suffering Hugh Savllle has caused his mother." "He was right He got what ho wanted. I am disappointed. I thought when you knew what I really meant, you " "It Is useless to argue about what Is Inevitable," Interrupted Hope. "I deep ly regret having caused you annoy ance or disappointment, but neither you nor I would have been happy If we had become man and wife. Why, oh, why did you not understand me? Now I can hear no more. Make haBte to relieve your father's mind, and good-by, Captain Lumley." She half put out her hand, drew It back, and left the room swiftly. The enraged and disappointed lover took a turn to and fro, uttering some half-articulate denunciations of his Infernal 111 luck, then, snatching up his hat, rushed away to pour his troubles into the sympathizing ear of Lord Everton, In whom all Imprudent youngsters found a congenial confidant. As soon as the sound of his steps was heard, the unclosed door of a small Inner room from which there was no other exit was pushed more widely open, and Mrs. Savillo walked in. She wore her out-door dress, and held a note in her hand. "I little thought what I should hear," she said, almost aloud, "when I determined to keep quiet till that booby had gone. Listeners never hear good of themselves. So I am a can-, tankerous, dictatorial, tyrannical old woman? Hope Desmond does not think so; I know she does not'' CHAPTER XVI. To Hope Mrs. Savllle made no sign, and she remained In complete Ignor ance that her acute patroness had been a hearer of Lumley's avowal. There was something Increasingly kind and confidential, however. In her tone and manner. Hope was greatly relieved by having thus disposed of her admirer. That worry was at an end; another, however, still remained. Miss Dacre's feelings and Imagina tion were greatly exercised by the sudden disappearance of George Lum ley from the scene, and she grew quite ravenous for Hope's society, that she might wonder and conjecture and maunder about his mysterious con duct, and cross-examine Hope as to what she thought might, could, would, or should have caused him thus sud denly to throw up the game which Miss Dacre chose to think he was playing so eagerly viz., the pursuit of herself till she made her hearer's life a burden to her. "I don't know what you do to Miss "Desmond when you have her out by '".herself," said Mrs. Savllle to the young heiress one afternoon, when ishe had called to know If dear Mrs. :Saville would spare Hope Desmond to itake a drive with her and stay to af ternoon tea, "but she always comes back looking white and tired, quite exhausted; and I will fiat spare her, Miss Dacre. I want her myself. If you are always taking her away, you had better keep her." "I am sure I shall be delighted. I want a nice lady-like companion a lit tle older than myself, to go about with me and " "A little older than yourself!" laughed Mrs. Savllle. "I suspect she Is two years your Junior. Well, take her, if she will go." "Indeed, Mrs. Savllle, I think you would do better with an older person, some one nearer your own age." "I am much obliged for your kind consideration. Yes, of course Miss Desmond haH rather a dull time with me. Suppose you make her an offer In writing." "Yes, of course I could; that la, if you would not be offended." "No, by no means. I would not stand In her light." "Really, Mrs. Savillo, you are tho most sensible woman I know. Pray, how much do you give her7 what sal ary I mean." "What Mr. Rawson asked for his protege fifty pounds." "Is that all? Ob, I will give her a hundred." "Then of course you will get her, Bald Mrs. Savllle. grimly. "That bo Ing so, pray leave her to me for this afternoon." "Oh, yes, certainly. I can writo to Ker this evening." Her further ut terance was arrested by the announce ment, In loud tones, of Lady Olivia Lumley, whereupon that personage en 111 i . I - tered, wearing a simple travel lng-dresa and a most troubled expression of countenance). "Dear Mlsa Dacro, I had no Idea I should find you here," Bald Lady Oli via, when she had grootod Mrs. Sa vllle. "I am on my Way to Controvo ville, to try and got rid of my gouty rheumatism; so " "How very unfortunate that Captain Lumley should Just have left!" inter rupted Miss Dacre. "He started on Wednesday something regimental, I believe." "Most unfortunate," returned Lady Olivia, omphatlcally. "Where are you staying?" asked Miss Dacre. "At tho Hotel d'Albe." "Well, I shall call late this after noon. Now I am obliged to call on the Comtesso de Suresnes. So good by for the present Mrs. Savillo. Good by, dear Lady Olivia." As 'soon as she was gone, Mrs. Sa vllle, looking very straight at her sister-in-law, asked, "What is the matter with you?" "Matter! Matter enough! If I had not been on route for Contrexevllle I should have come hero on purpose to to tell you what I think." "And pray what may that be, Lady Olivia?" "That you have allowed my unfor tunate boy George to fall Into the same scrape as your own son, Just to make us suffer as you have done. It is too bad, that while we were think ing everything was on the point of be1 ing settled between him and Mary Dacre (such an excellent marriage), there Is he falling Into the trap of that low-born, designing adventuress, your companion! You are not a wom an to be blinded by anything, and you never took the trouble to warn us or save him, and I who always sympa thized with you In your trouble about Hugh! I expected better things from you, Elizabeth. You aro Infatuated about that woman, of whom you really know nothing." For a moment Mrs. Savllle was si lent too amazed to find words. "I don't understand you. Pray ex plain your meaning, If you have any," she said, at last, a bitter little smile curling up the corners of her mouth. "Why, our unfortunate mad boy wrote to his father a few days ago that he was going to make an offer to that dreadful girl, as she was the sort of woman to whom he dared not pro pose a private marriage; that we fear ed we might be vexed at first, but If we attempted to prevent It he would go straight to the dogs. Oh, It is too too bad! I little thought, when I was so horrified at Hugh's conduct last summer, that before a year was over I should be afflicted in the same way." "When you gloated over my disap pointment, you mean," cried Mi's. Sa vllle, her keen black eyes flashing. "I have no doubt you thought to yourself that your son would never be false to the Instincts of his race, which Is aris tocratic on both sides, but that mine was Impelled by the plebeian vigor In herited from his mother's people. I know the amount of gratitude you all feel towards me for conferring wealth for which he never toiled, on your brother and his sons. But the blood In my veins has been strong enough to keep you all In your places. Yes! as the world we live in chooses to attach Importance to rank and to worship a title, I bought what was necessary of the valuable article; but I know your estimate of me and the veiled con tempt of your commiseration when the blow fell upon me. Now I am go ing to return good for evil, and re lieve your mjnd. Your precious son Is perfectly safe. That low-born, design ing adventuress, my companion, has defiantly and utterly rejected him." "Impossible! Are you Hure? May this not be some deep-laid scheme? How do you know?" "It is quite possible, I am perfectly sure; It Is no deep-laid scheme, I know, because I was in that room there, unsuspected, and heard every word of tho proposal and of the dis tinct, decided rejection. Miss DeB mond reproached your son with his perseverance in spite of her discour agement, and informed him she wan engaged to another evidently some humble, struggling man, from whom your charming, distinguished son was powerless to attract her. Miss Des mond acted like a young woman of senBO and honor, and in my opinion she is a great deal too good evon for so high and mighty a gentleman as Captain George Lumley." "Thank God!" cried Lady Olivia, too much relieved to resent the undisguis ed scorn and anger of her slstor-ln-law. "But aro you quite sure there Is no danger of this young person changing her mind?" "Be under no apprehension. Your son Is safe enough bo far as my young friend Miss Desmond 1b concerned." "I am sure I am very glad; but real ly, Elizabeth, I am amazed at the r7 extraordinary attack you have H upon me." "Or, rather, you aro amazed that 1 know you bo well. I saw tho onooi that lurked undor your assumed con passion for my disappointment, and 1 am amazed you ventured to speak in the tone you did to mo. Now you may go, and wrlto to your husband and aa euro htm his son is safe for tho pres ent Boforo wo meet again, you must apologize to mo for the llborty you havo taken." "I think an apology is also due to mo," cried Lady, Olivia. While she spoko, Mrs. Savillo had rung tho bell, and, on tho waltor's ap pearanco, said, In a commanding tone, "Lady Olivia's carriage," whereupon that lady confessed defeat by rotlrlna rapidly. CHAPTER XVII. Mrs. Savillo walked to her special arm-chair, and, taking Prince into her lap, Btrokod him mechanically, as was nor wont when she was thinking. "So that was tho fool's attraction 7" sho mused. "I ought to havo suspect ed It, but I did not, or I should have sent him about his business. It Is nat ural enough that uie father and moth or should be annoyed; but she la too good for him a great deal too good. But sho Is silly, too, with her high flown notions. Wo cannot defy tho Judgment and prejudices of the world wo live In; obscurity and Insignifi cance aro abhorrent to most sane peo ple. Yet It 1b ImpoBslblo to doubt her sincerity; and sue Is common-sensioal enough. Can It bo that she is wise and I am unwise?'" Hero Mrs. Sa vllle put her little favorite on the car pet and again rang, the bell. This time sho desired that Hiss Desmond should be sent to her.. "I think I shall go out and do some shopping," she Bald, when Hope ap peared. "I do not walk enough. 1 have had a tiresome morning. First Miss Dacre camo begging that you might be lent to her for tho day. This I refused. Then came Lady Olivia, in a bad temper, and wo quarreled, oho Is going away to-morrow or next day. At all events, sho shall not trouble me any more. I think we have had enough of Paris. Richard !s coming over next week. As soon as he leaves, I shall go away to a quaint little place on the coast of Normandy, and recruit It will be very dull; but you are used to that" "I rarely feel dull," returned Hope, who secretly wondered why Mrs. Sa vllle had quarreled with her sister-in-law. She was too decided, too peremp tory a woman to be quarrelsome. Could it be for any reason connected with herself? Lumley aald he had communicated his intention to propose for her (Hope) to his father. This, no doubt, would have enraged his fam ily; but she could not ask any ques tions. Indeed, she was thankful to "let sleeping dos He." She had many anxieties pressing on her young heart A very cloudy and uncertain future lay before her. "It Is hard," she thought, "that however good and true and loving a woman may be, If not rich she is thought unworthy o be tho helpmate of a wealthy, well-placed man; any poor, struggling nobody la good enough for her. Yet It is among the struggling nobodies that the finest fellows are often found; so things equalize themselves." (To be continued.) A Womu'i War. Believing, it may be, that It is nec ossary, now and then, to provo that women are not inferior to men in tho management of practical affairs, a con tributor to the New York Globe tells of a young woman who recently bought and retired to a small suburban farm, and was busy all the spring personal ly directing the modernization of the house. The other day. she ordered a tele phone Installed, and the company's workmen started in. Presently the "boss" called her out to tho lawn. "We can't run the wire in without damaging that tree,", he said, pointing to a fine old elm near the piazza. "It can't be done." "Very well," replied the young wom an, smilingly. "Then you needn't put in the phone;" and she re-ontered .ue house. "Did the electricians go away?" asks the correspondent, who assuredly be lieves that a man should think twice before insisting upon his boasted men tal superiority to the other sex. "No, sir. They put in the phone and without harming the tree. "A man, now," he concludes, "would have argued a half-hour over tho mat ter."

Silos havo becocno ono of tho flxod appointments of successful dairy and stock farms whoro economy In feed la necessary to achiovo profitable results. The cxponso of a silo often prevents Its uso by farmers who fool that they cannot sparo tho money for such an equlpmont. Tho Intelligent feeder who has carefully Investigated the ad vantages of a silo is tho man loudest In its praiso. It has become recog nized that high class results in feed ing live stock cannot bo consummated without foedlng sllago. Deleterious results Beldom follow feeding callage. If Buch results do follow It comes from olthor overfeod Ing or' from spoiled sllago. Sllago Is recognized as of great economic value In feeding dairy cows. Whoro dairy farming Is mado a spoclalty but few dairies aro oporated without tho ubo of silage. It Is equally valuablo as a ration for young cattle and has docld cd merits when fed to steors being fattened for market Sheep and swine thrive on sllago. As a part of tho ra tion of roughage It could bo generally utilized for all classes of live stock. The dairy cow could bo fed forty pounds of Bllago dally, whllo thirty pounds would bo a ration for a boef animal. A silo enables the farmer to econ omize In space In tho storago of feed. It requires double tho space to store tho Bame feed nutriments In dry roughago as In sllngo. Tho silo can be constructed of re-enforced cement and becoino a permanent Improvement that will cost nothing for maintenance. A silo enables tho farmer to savo his feed with tho minimum loss of nutri ents. Feed cured in tho open air suf fers a losfi of about 25 per cent of nu triments, whllo ensilage loses about 10 per cent of nutriment. Sllago has been comprehensively tested at nearly all tho agricultural experiment stations with uniform fa vorablo results. It Insures to the dairyman succulent feed at all times an Important condition in milk produc tion, as Bucculent feed Is beat for dairy cows. Goodall's Farmer. Farming1 aa n llnalneaa. Science has shown that whero thero Is a farm that does not pay, the fault lies not In the land, but In tho man who Is In charge. Good or bad farm ing results from definite reasons. Suc cess results from painstaking, reason able , operations; tho application of practical knowledgo wnicn nas uecii gained by studying tho requirements which aro known will bring success. Lack of ambition results In Indif ferent work on the farm. Taking full advantago of the resources of any farm, and following Intelligent, up-to-date methods of farming will In duo time mean steady and often very tapld Improvement In yield of crops. In a sense, the resources of a farm vary with locality; but In tho main tnorn aro many Identical conditions on very manv farms. The farmer who works to establish a well-set meadow, alms tn tret the hilly, washable, waste lands set In grass; utilizes the rocky rough lands by setting out rrult trees; ditches tho low lands and reclaims the swamps; Improves the stony fields by picking off tho surfaco stones bo that crops will take the places the stonos Decupled, uses some of the ways of taking advantago of tho resources of a farm. The farmer who owns a big farm In very many Instances docs not secure crops that average as well as tho farm er whose farm rarely exceeds sixty or seventy acres. The reason Is the large farmor cannot, with the force ho usually keens, oronorly look after everything, seeing that seasonable work is done and that each farming operation is well attended to. Each of :hese Is a great success factor In farm ing. Hasty work means, Invariably, some neglect or worn inaiaorently done. Corn Ilreeillnr, The Illinois experiment station has Just published tho results of its ef forts to breed corn for high and low protein content and for high and low oil content. Ten generations of corn havo been bred for these different pur poses by selection of seed having tho desired qualities. In tho offort to in crease the protein content the average has been changed from 10.02 per cent to 14.20 per cent In tho effort to do crease It from 10.02 per cent to 8.64 per cent Individual ears havo been found which contain as lflgh aa 17-79 per cent of protein and aa low as 0.13 per cent, as high as 8.59 per cent of oil and as low as 1.00 per cent But the high protein corn baa been In every caso lesa productive than any of tho otbor thrco and In somo cases decidedly so, It has also boen less productive as a rule than corn grown for no particular purpose JuBt corn Tho conclusion Is reached from some plots that, whllo thlu continued selec tion for a single purpose to the neglect of all other considerations has resulted in lower yields, yet this 1b not a neces sary result. In somo cases high pro tein corn has yielded well as compared with Btandard varieties bred for no particular purpose. The rroni-M. nnlrr Corr.
