That evening, as Hope was playing some Scotch airs, with great taBto and a delicate touch, while Mrs. Savllle sat thinking In her chair and stroking Prince, a note was brought for Miss Desmond. Hope finished what she was playing, then, asking, "Will you allow me?" opened the missive. "It Is from Miss Dacre. she added, Jn a minute or two "a most extraor dinary opistle. She . says she writes with your knowledge and approval She asks me to leave you and live with lier, and offers me one hundred pounds a year. Will you look at It?" Mrs. Savillo stretched out her hand and, after reading the letter, deliber ntely returned it. "How do you mean to reply?" "Can you ask?" cried Hope "unless, Indeed, your knowledge of Miss Da- cre's Intention Indicates a wish that I should leave you." "No, It does not. I thought it right that you should have the option of re fusing an advantageous offer. You would have more gayety, a larger sal ary, an easier life, with Mary Dacre. than with a cantankerous" old woman like myself." "If I had the money I should be -willing to pay a hundred a year to stay away from Miss Dacre," said Hope. "You are severe, and rather formidable, but I feel sure of your Justice and loyalty, and the restfulness of life with you Is infinitely preferable to the fevered gayety of Mls3 Dacre's existence." 'T am glad you think so. Write to her at once." Hope obeyed, and, after writing with deliberation for some minutes, gavo the result to Mrs. Saville for perusal. "Good," said that lady. "It Is Arm and courteous. Let it be posted at once. Now play me the march from . Tannhauser,' " When that was finished, Mrs. Sa vllle said, "Come and sit down." Hope obeyed. There was- a short pause, and Bhe went on: "As you have chosen to stay with me, my dear Miss Desmond, I shall increase your salary to what Miss Dacre offered." "You aro very good, Mrs. Savllle, but I would rather you did not. I have quite enough for all I want. A year hence, wb you have proved me, If we aro still together and you like to offer It But, oh, It Is unwise to look ahead bo far." "I am not a very Imaginative ,rcr eon,' said Mrs. Savllle, slowly, "but It strikes me you have a history, Miss Desmond." "I suppose every one has," said Hope, smiling. "I too, have my little trtory; and some day, If you ever care to hear it, I will tell you but not Just yet." "I suppose it centers round some love-affair, which you silly young peo ple always think of the last import ance." "It does," said Hope, with grave feeling; "and I am sure the Import unce cannot be exaggerated. If men and women only allowed themselves to think what a sacred and solemn thing love and Its usual ending marriage Is, fewer unhappy ones would take place." "Ah, with .the vast majority love Is ,aa unknown quantity and an inslgnlfl-.-rant Ingredient Just think what hu tnan nature Is, the conditions in which It lives, moves, and has Its being: how Bis love as you exalted people accept Sit, to exist? There we shall never sagree. Pray get me the Figaro." jMlss Dacre was reproachful, and "Bven tearful, when Hope next saw her. but the "much desired one" was Im movable. "Is It not extraordinary," cried the Disappointed heiress, "that George Liumley went off In that unaccountable vy? There Is some hidden baneful Influence at work. It Is always the same: as Boon as we are growing con fidential he files off. It Is a hideous thought, but it has occurred to mo that he Is secretly married to some dreadful woman. What do you think?" "I think there Is nothing more un likely." "Well, good-by. We return to Lon don on Wednesday. Perhaps Richard Saville will be able to tell me some thing of George. Oh, I forget? we shall lust miss him. Well, if you can find rut anything you will be sure to write? You have treated me very badly; but I do not bear malice. You will find you have mode a great mistake. So good-by." Mrs. Savllle seemed more cheerful and In a bettor temper after Lord CaBtleton and his daughter left Parla, though the presence of her eldest Bon was always rnoro or leBB a trial. She endured an occasional visit from Lord Everton, who was quietly perti nacious in cultivating friendly rela tions with her. V He was tho only member of the fam ily who dared to mention her offend ing son, but he only ventured' to do so twhea they were alone, "I really believe you are softening itrc gavllle's stony hrt," fl Mid one day as he met Hope coming from the galleries. "Not, I am Bure, by firo and vinegar, but rather with the milk of human kindness. She allows mo to mention Hugh, and Just now endured hearing that I had a letter from him. He writes In good spirits. I believe the Vortlgern will be home In August or September, and then we shall see what we shall see oh, allow me," for Hope had dropped her sunshade an'l stooped to pick It us. "Getting quite too hot to stay hero. I am off for Switzerland; and I hear Richard 1b going to cruise in somebody's yacht to tho coast of Norway. He has scent of some burled treasures of Runic In scriptions, and heaven knows what else, near Skarstad. You had better get Mrs. Savllle away, and yourself, too. You are looking pale and seedy excuse a privileged old fellow. Ypu have by best wishes, my dear girl my very best. Accept a prophecy: I think we'll turn a corner before long." And before Hope could ask the mean ing of his enigmatical words he had raised his hat, bowed, and departed. CHAPTER XVIII. The little fishing village of Salnto Crolx. lying at the mouth of a valley or gorge which opens from the sea between high cliffs on the coast of Nor mandy, has of late been revealed to Parisians, especially artistic and liter ally Parisians. One giant of the latter order has even built himself a villa well up on the steep side of the val ley. Artists encamp In the fisher cot tages, turning the kitchens, with their carved oak dressers and settles, Into living-rooms, and cooking In outhous es, or getting their food from a ram bling hotel and restaurant lately Insti tuted by Joining several cottages to gether, with additions and Improve ments, where a few yards of level ground intervene between the sands and the cliff. A straggling growth of fine beech trees stretches down from a large wood which crowns the gradual ascent of the valley where It merges Into the fiat table-land above, well cultivated, and rich with fields of corn and colza. At the date of this story It was known to few, but, obscure though It was, Mrs. Saville chose It for a resting place before she returned to London. It was a fine glowing August evening when, with Miss Desmond, her Ger man courier, and her English maid, Mrs. Savllle arrived and startled the sleepy little village into lively curi osity, as she drove through it In an old-fashioned traveling-carriage drawn by four scraggy post-horses, the whole equipage secured with some difficulty by the careful courier at the nearest railway-station. The dogs barked, the hens cackled, the ducks and geese flew out of the roadside pond with prodig ious noise and flutterlngs, as the scare crow team rattled down the hill to tho shore of the rock-encircled bay along the edge of which the "Hotel de l'Eu rope" stretched Its low, Irregular front. The landlord and one male and two female waiters were drawn up to re ceive the distinguished guests and usher them to their apartments. "Madame has a fine view of tho bay and cliffs. The sunsets are superb, nay, exquisite, in good weather; and It is generally good at Salnte-Croix. I do not remember having had the honor of receiving Madamo before' "I dare say not You were not old enough to be the head of such an es tablishment when I was here last," returned Mrs. Savllle, more graciously than Bhe would have spoken to an En glishman. "Impossible, madame!" cried the host, with polite Incredulity. "Wnen will madamo dine?" "At 6, Meantime, we want tea; but my courier will see to the preparation. He understands It Pray, is Madame d'Albevllle at the chateau?" "No, madame. Unfortunately, tho second son of Madanie la Marquise was wounded a week ago In a duel, and she has gone to nurse him at Greno ble, I think. Her arrival is quite un certain." "Indeed! I am sorry to hear It" And Bhe bowed dismissal to her polite host. "This Is a disappointment," said Mrs. Savllle to Hope. "I quite count ed on Madamo d'Albeville's society. She is an agreeable, sensible woman, and rather pleasantly associated with my former visit to this little hamlet Come, lot us look at our rooms." They were small, but more comfort able than the guests had anticipated, Hope was greatly pleased with the pic turesque Burroundlngs, and was anx ious to survey the village. "Then take Jessop with you for a ramble. I have letters to write, and do not feel Inclined to move. Tell them to light a fire In tho salon. 1 like a fire and open windows. Tho air 1b rery fresh and dellclously salt, but I can quite bear a fire." Hop willingly accepted the sugges tion, and as soon as they had a cup of tea she set out with the proaalo lady's- maid, glad to enjoy some ozcrclaa Afta tho long cramping Journey by rail and road. It, was Indeed a primltlvo UttU place. A narrow stony road led be tween two Irregular lines of detnehod cottages, each with, a little garden, many of them overgrown with Ivy and roses. Frequent steep paths between them led to huts parched on tho hilt sides above them. Gradually tho road climbed up clear of these surroundings to where on tho higher ground ths ruins of a mediaeval abbey peopod out from tho Bhelter of tho surroundlua beech woods. Hope and her compan ion did not venturo quite f far, but oven from tho height thoy had attain ed they looked out over tho blu water of the Channel, now glltterlna and laughing In the strong light of tb4 westering sun. "We must return now, Jessop," said Hope. "Mrs. Savllle will have boon a long time alone by the tlmo wo gel back. "She will Indeed, miss; and whal made Mrs. Savlllo como to this savage placo Is past my comprehension," re turned me ablgall, In an aggrlovod tone. "There seems to be nothing but common people without shoes to tho'.t feet going about I am sure Mrs. Sa vllle would have got her health bettor at Ingleflold, with the comforts and decencies as become her station around her." . X "Perhaps so; but this Is a sweet place. I think I could enjoy It In tensely, If If " She paused, and her rich red Hps parted In an uncon scious smile. "If your young gentleman was horo, miss?" said Jessop, with a confidential smirk. Jessop had grown friendly and patronizing to her lady's young com panion. Hope laughed, and the yearning ol her heart prompted her to reply, "Yes, that would make It a heavenly place, JesBop; but I must not allow mysell to think of such Joy." "That's a pity, miss. So there is a young gentleman? Indeed, I'd be sur prised if there was not I hope b Isn't far away, mls3?" "Yes, thero Is many a weary mile between us." "That's bad, miss. Men are an In constant lot; It's out of sight out ol mind with most of them. I was en gaged once myself, to a young gentle man In the grocery line, but he be haved most treacherous, and marrlod a butcher's daughter. She was freckled and cross-eyed, but she had a tidy bit of money; and a man would marry the Witch of Endor for that' "I dare dare say the Witch of En dor was a very attractive woman." "Law. mlssl an old witch?" "Oh, no; a nice witch Is never old." Here this Intellectual conversation was Interrupted by the sound of ap proaching wheels, and the pound, pound, pound, crunch, crunch, of a pa tient, heavy-footed horse, tolling slowly up-hlll. (To be continued.) Gatea . and the Heporter. When John W. Gates a few yean ago had the Chicago pit excited by hli plunging in corn reporters caenped In vain on his trail for a week. A green reporter on a Chicago dally volunteer ed to "get him." The city editor laughed, and told him to go ahead. The blissful optimist did not wait to de liver his card to the negro In livery at the door. Instead he walked straight Into Mr. Gates' office. "What's the meaning of this?" asked Gates, rising angrily. "I'm areporter and I want an Inter view," said the Intruder. "If you don't get out of here I'll have you thrown out," thundered John-Watch-Me. "Well, .you'll have to call your army In, for I'm not going to move," retort ed the reporter. Gates went around the end of his desk and approached threateningly. "I'll throw you out myself!" he shout ed. "Now, Mr. Gates, take It easy," said the reporter, soothingly. "You don't want a scene here, do you?" Gates stopped, fooked at the brazen fellow In wonderment, then gavo vent to his bellow of a laugh. "If I had half your nerve, young man, I'd be boss of creation before a twelve month," he said. "Sit down." Gates gave the Interview, and the following day he hired the reporter at $150 a week. A Doubtful Compliment. "Ma wants two pounds of butter ex actly like what you sent us last. It It ain't exactly like that Bho won't take it," said tho small boy. The grocer turnedto his numeroua customers, and remarked blandly: "Somr people In my buslneas don't like particular customers, but I do. It's my delight to serve them what they want I will attend to you in a moment, little boy." "Be sure to get the uamo kind," Bald the boy. "A' lot of pa's relations is visiting at our house and ma doesn't want 'cm to como again." Tit-Bits. Whr She Hate Illm, Bessie There goes that Mr. Prlm plfi. How I do hate tho man! Kitty The Idea!

You know the kind wo bad fev din. ner yesterday." German soli feods nine-tenths of her people Kccpliiir the Soil Kortlle. According to Prof. Whitney or tho bureau of Soil, United States Depart ment of Agriculture, n soil to bo fortllo must contain a sumclont quantity of tho ash ingrodlonts of tho plants to bo cultivated, and thoso must bo In such Bolublo condition as to bo taken up by tho growing plauts. Soils onco for tllo aro said to bo exhausted when do prlved of such food as Is required for plant nutrition, but rest and meliorat ing treatment will, In tlmo, restoro Buch soils to a fertile condition. Until past tho year 17G0 no Juat Ideas upon tho rotation of crops Boom ed to hnvo been formed In any part of England. Tho rotation of crops affords tlmo for tho disintegrating action of tho at mosphere, rain and frost to proparo now material from the rock partlclos In the soil and get It In a form to be used by tho plant One crop may use up tho avallablo food of a particular kind faster than It con bo prepared by thesp natural agenclos. When prop erly managed It enables ono plant to prepare food for another. All plants exhaust tho soil, though In an unequal dogreo; plants of dif ferent kinds do not exhaust tho soil In the snme manner; all plants do not restoro to the soil a like quantity or quality of manuro, and all plants aro not equally favorablo to the growth of weeds. Upon tho abovo principles Is based a regular succession of crops. Though tho system of rotation Is adapted to every soil, no particular rotation can bo assigned to any one description of soli which will answer at all times, and on tho demand for different kinds of produce. On clayoy soils, beans and clover, with ryo grass aro generally alternated with grain crops, and on dry loams or Bandy ground turnips, beets, potatoes and clover. On rich soils this system of alternate husbandry Is most conduclvo to tho plentiful production of food, both for men and animals. Ono por tion of a farm would thus bo always under grain crops, whllo the other por tion was growing roots or cultivated grasses; but, as the major part of ar ablo lands can 'not bo preserved In a state of fertility with oven this kind of management, It Is requisite that the portion of tho farm which Is under cultivated grasses should bo pastured for two or three years, In order to glvo It time to recruit The following is a good rotation of crops: First year, clover; second, clovor; third, corn; fourth, oats; fifth, -wheat The clover does well with oats, and after an early mowing can bo very well prepared for wheat ' Modern Farming-. Tho use of the most modern meth ods In fanning is by no means re stricted to tho huge ranches of this country. In nearly every locality In tho state farmers are using traction engines with steam or gasoline for power to plow and harrow their land. We know one ranch of C80 acres not largo for this state on which tho plowing and harrowing Is dono with a 20 horse-power gasoline engine. This nauls four 14-lnch gang plows and a 2-horso harrow the equivalent of tho wprk of twenty horses. The distance traversed over tough soil Is from two to two and a half miles an hour. One harrow Is placed off to tho sldo so that the result Is a double harrowing of the tract. It was considered too small an area to warrant tho Initial expenso for the machine, but the owners of the ranch aro satisfied that It will save Its cost In a few years. The time is coming when tho tedium of farm work will be laid upon machinery. . The Hnnd 1'enr. The sand pear Ib tho only pear that Is practically free from blight. It IS a very rapid and continuous grower. It Is a prolific bearer and requires less attention and will stand moro abuse than any other fruit tree known. The sand pear comes into bearing at an early age, and at 10 years old ordinary trees will yield from 10 to 20 bushels of pears. Tho trees usual ly begin to bear at five yearB of age. The sixth year each tree will net 25 cents, tho seventh year CO cents, and A SMALL GREENHOUSE. Whllo most greenhouses are expensive to build and maintain it Is u0hr slblo for an amateur to havo ono at small oxponse, as an addlt'lon to the dwelling. Hotbed BaBhos cost from $3.25 to $3.50 each, and measure 3x8 feet If Bteam or hot water heating cannot bo provided from the house n ii stove will maintain a high enough temperature. ' uu n" tho ,lhth year II. the ninth year 13 and tenth year Pr - "K 24 foot nimrt 75 trees can be wt to tho aero. This would glvo a nut return of 9300 an ncro tho tenth yon.', which would bo equal to a $8,000 In veatt cntntO per cent. This la a very .?mtlvo estimate. Wo have noon ton.yoar.old trees at different places which yielded from 10 to 20 bushel, and largo trees which yloldcd from JO to 50 bushels. Ton acres of tho Band pears nt tho abovo conservative estimate would bring $3,000 Income or equal to a $50,000 Investment, at 0 por cont. Orchnrd l'et. Whethor thoro la a good or poor fruit crop It will pay to keep the fruit trceB as freo from dlscaBO nnd Injuri ous insects as possible.

Borers aro among tho moBt Insiai oub pests of tho applo orchard In somo localities. On account of thoir habits thoy cannot bo roachod by poisonous sprayfl, and nostrums placod nbout tho roots, as sometimes recommended, nro utterly useless. Tho moBt cmolont moans of provontlng damage from thoso pests Is by anuol Inspection of tho trees and removal of tho grubs with a Bharp pointed knifo. Vnrloua protective measures aro also used. Ono of tho most effectivo 1b to pnint tho lower part of tho stem In lato winter or early spring with a fairly thick paint mado from puro ready mixed paints for this purpose slnco others may contain Injurious sub stances. Wood voncor strips and wlro gauzo aro sometimes used to prevent tho eggs from being laid on tho trunks of tho treos, but white load paint Is slmplo and cheaper. Black rot Is a fungous disease which attacks tho fruit, follago, old bark and branches of applo and pear treos. Tho leaf spot form probably causes moro damage than tho other forms. Some times black rot cankers on tho trunk, and tho limbs dovelop so rapidly as to endanger tho llfo of trees, but this In seldom tho caso except whoro spraying Is wholly neglected. Tho fruit Is rnrcly seriously Injured, though outbreaks In this form may sometimes bo quite so vore. I'otntoea nnd Corn. While thero Is much dlfforonco ol opinion as to the rotation of crops on a medium heavy loam, wo havo had tho best results from following corn with potatoes, always being careful to heavily manuro tho ground for tho corn and not use any stable manuro at all for tho potato crop. By heavily manuring wo mean giving tho soil moro than will be required by the corn andVmore than will bo necessary to make good to tho soil any reserve fertility tho corn takes from It; In other words, so that there will be some of the virtue of the manuro loft for the benefit of tho potatoes. For tho latter crop wo confino ourselves to an apllcatlon of mixed fertilizer, consisting of sulphato ammonia, bono meal and sulphato of potash, applied at the rate of 800 pounds to tho aero. Thero may bo no objection to tho use of stnblo manure for the potato crop, provided one can obtain It well rotted, but the fresh manuro Is a scab brood er and we never use It for potatoes. A Lnrtre l'oultrr I'nriu, Isaac Wilbur of Llttlu Compton, R. I., has tho largest poultry farm In tho world. He ships from 130,000 to 150, 000 dozens of eggs a year. Ho keeps his fowls on tho colony plan, housing nbout forty In a house 8x10 or 8x12 feet In size, these houses being about 150 feet apart, net out In long rows over tho gently sloping fields. Ho has 100 of these houHi-s scattered over throe or four fields. Tho food la load ed Into a low wagon, which Is driven about to each houso In turn, tho at tendant feeding as ho goes; at tho afternoon feeding tho eggs aro collect ed. Tho fowls aro fed twlco a day. Tho morning food Is a mash of cooked vegetables and mixed meals; this mash Is made up In tho afternoon of tho day before. Tho nrtcrnoon foed Is whole corn tho year round.
