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."

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.

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.
