Or will you come anj i,,,, Mt ,j. uttip place now V" Then, for the first time, Tauline raised lier head; a in again Jack saw the ex 'resi.u of the carved timers' heads as fihe answered her liusliautl. "1 will uot accompany you anywhere; I w.i.ild sooner klil myself for 1 hate you;" The shocked clergyman would have apoken; hut Telling stopped him cour teously but firmly. "Yon must pardon nie; but this is tny ITair, a a you in nut acknowledge, and Jnlne only." Thou turn ug to the raging woman, he went on: "In those circum stances further discussion would be use less;" and only Jack, who was watch ing him closely, gues -d w hat wonderful elf-control he waa exerting to keep him nelf frvin exposing and upbraiding the "woman to whom he spoke, i "I will sire you the address of my solicitor, and all future communications must be made through him." He wrote the address on leaf of his pocketbook, tore it out. and laced it on the table, beside her. "And iow. Mrs. Telling, may 1 see you to your cab?" She rose and drew herself up defiantly, and theu awept from the vestry; ami 3'eIKng followed her in polite attend ance. He returned in a few seconds. "And now, Mr. lloruton," he said, "if ym will favor me with your company, I ahal be glad to give and receive explana tions." After wishing the clergyman "Good Morning."' the two men jumped Into the ab which brought Telling from the ta tion, ami drove to a hotel. They talked on indifferent subjects until they were in possession of a private room, and the waiter had finally retired, after receiv ing orders for luncheon in half an hour. Then Telling turned to Jack and be gan: "It seenis to me that you and I are fated to cross each other's paths, Mr. loruton. I have heard you spoken of Iretty often lately by a Mr. Mallett, a Iarticular friend of mine." "Indeed?" said Jack, uncomfortably, not relishing this suddeu and intentional Introduction of the Malletts' name; for. ince his conversation with Lord Sum mers, Jack felt less proud than ever of his own share in the rupture with Ethel. He thought, too, that Mr. Tell ing would not have beard much to his credit from that source. "I see what you are thinking." Tell ing observed; "but you are wrong. Mr. Mallett has spoken of you to me only s a promising man In your profession. O'he other matter that is in your mind I t.xik the liberty of finding out for my self. Now, I have a proposition to make to you." CHATTER XXII. Felling paused and looked attentively t the young man. He knew there was not much generosity in giving Ethel up, as he could not marry her himsplf dur ing the lifetime of his wife, and, hav ing plenty of true manliness, he did not mean to make any show of the misera ble pain that was gnawing at his heart; lmt he felt he should like to know what fort of man this was whose path he Intended to smooth for him as far as lay in h's power; and, while he thought of this, the memory of Ethel's face, pained tiud sorrowful as he saw it when she made to him her confession of love for this Uornton came suddenly before him, Hnd he knew that the greatest kindness be could do her would be to restore her lover. Tresently he said, abruptly: "You have nearly broken Ethel's lieart." Jack flushed furiously, and half rose from his chair. Telling motioned to him to keep calm. "I asked you to be patient with me," lie reminded Jack. "My motive should excuse me to you. The pith of the whole matter is this was the engagement be tween you and Ethel broken off in con sequence of your infatuation for my wife, or had you ceased to care for her liefore you met Taullne? As man to man. 1 ask you for a truthful answer." "I can't for the life of me understand ly what right," began Jack, hotly. "For heaven's sake, don't waste time In splitting straws when so much is at intake!" Telling said, impetuously. "You can't understand my right to Interfere? 1 will explain. I love Ethel Mallett as I never loved, never shall love, never be lieved It possible to love; and until this morning I had the hope of making her my wife some day, when she had had time to forget you. I think my love for lier gives me the right to do what I can lo secure her happiness; and I believe her happiness rests wllh you. I can't have lier myself, or I do not think I could lie unselfish enough to give her up. I might, but I don't think It. Now to re turn to our point was your infatuation for my wife the only cause of the es trangement between you two?" Jack was greatly Impressed, as he un derstood now why Telling spoke with so much effort, and he felt touched by his devotion. Added to this was the feel ing of shame that had oppressed him ever since his talk with Lord Summers. "Come you needn't mind confessing your weakness to me," Telling went on, encouragingly. "Bless you, man, I know how Tauline can twist any man round lier finger if she likes to try! I sup pose she was smitten with you, and upreud her nets to snare you, and you, riot seeing the snare, found yourself enamored of her without knowing how It happened. , And I dare say, If the truth were known, when the first mad burst was vr, and you thought out Tjhc Zifc's ccrct, OR A BITTER RECKONING By CMARLOTTU M. ItRAU.MU things quietly, you would have given it good deal never to have seen her at nil, and wished you had behaved differently to .Miss Mallett. Jack jumped up, his face and wrung Telling's hand. "I could not say it invself, beaming, but that is really just how it has been with me. I am not good at expressing my feelings; but I know you are behaving very well to me much better than I deserve nnd 1 thank yon. And now what do you wish me to do?" "Go right away for a few months. Write to me now and again, and I will take care that Miss Mallett hears what ever is likely to be of use to you. (live her time to forget the indignity you have put on her and her lore. 1 shall be on hand In the character of a benevolent patriarch, and the moment 1 see signs favorable to our plot I will bring about a meeting. The rest will lie with your self." "How can I thank you?" "You owe me no thanks. Relieve your mind on that point. What 1 am doing I do out of my sincere wish for Miss Mallett's happiness. If you really think you owe me anything pay it in kindness to your wife after you are married. Here is . luncheon. We w ill talk by and by of your immediate plans." When they had finished luncheon, and Jack had left. Telling laid down on the hard horsehair sofa, w ith his hands under his head, gazing steadfastly at the ceil ing; and it wasj not until the evening, wheu the waiter came to light the gas, that he was roused from his deep rev erie. He then pulled himself together, called for his bill, and having settled it. went out into the wretched night. Wheu Tauline left her husband at the church door she knew that her schem ing had been futile, and that she could never again show her face at Mailing ford; but it was not that which caused her the agony of mind she was suffer ing. She had lost Jack. The one pure, un selfish cup of joy she had longed to taste had been snatched from her lips at the moment of raising. She was stunned with despair. She paced up and down the platform at Charing Cross station, watching for Iiahette and concocting plans for ob taining what ready money she could be fore the grand denouement came. She knew her jewels must be worth at least five thousand pounds, and, though some of them were heirlooms, and others hail been liought with money obtained by her dishonesty, she would not scruple to ap ply them to her personal use. Then she would draw at once two thousand from her bankers. She would go and do this personally lest they might scruple to pay so large a sum on a check. And so she laid her miserable plans, refusing to listen for on? moment to the prompting of her better nature, which would even now suggpst her return to the husband whose only sin had been his poverty. CHATTEK XXIII. Notwithstanding all Telling's efforts, the story soon got into the newspapers, and, it being the dull season, was seized upon with avidity by the gossip purvey ors. It was "dished" and "rcdished" day after day, with numberless distor tions, exaggerations and additions. One society journal had it that the beautiful Miss M of M Tark, in Exbrldge- shire, hnd attempted to poison her hus band, to whom she had been secretly married only a month or two, in order to become the wife of a celebrated It. A., with whom she had fallen deeply In love; while another declared that the husband presented himself at the altar with pis tols, and. dragging his would-be succes sor outside the sacred edifice, insisted upon a duel there and theu, and wound ed him dangerously in the shoulder, and that the unfortunate man now lay In a most criticul condition, while the hus band had carried off his reluctant bride, a veritable prisoner, on board his yacht, for a twelvemonth's cruise In the Ta cific. At last Telling, annoyed beyond meas ure at these absurd stories, decided to lay bare the truth. With the assistance of his lawyer, he drew up a concise state ment of the real facts, giving his own ami Tauline's name In full, but suppress ing Jack's. He carefully conveyed the Idea that Tauline believed him to be dead, anil gave the circumstance to her change of nr. me as sufficient to account for his not having discovered her exist ence since his return from Africa. This he sent to two of the daily newspapers, and, thus divested of all mystery, the story lost its charm, and no longer af forded nny interest. Telling sent one of these newspapers, with his own letter specially distinguish ed, to Ethel by post, and the next morn ing he called In Buckingham street to make matters clearer. Ethel's frank candor once more over came the difficulties of the situation; she stood at the top of the stairs with her hands outstretched and her face bright with friendly interest. "I have been longing to see you," she began, warmly, as they entered the room; "we have both so much that is wonder ful to tell each other!" She looked at him steadfastly as he stood in the light from the wjndow, and what she saw in his face quickened her pulse with a sudden pity, but she would not give way to the impulse that urged her to console him. She went on, a lit tle hurriedly at first: "I can see that your pleasant news is in some way mixed up with painful thoughts; so, as mine is altogether pleas ant, I shall speak first. To begin papa came home last night, and he has brought the most wonderful news; it Is like a fairy tale! I don't suppose you know yet that your wife Is my cosinV" Captain Telling started at the words "I knew you would be greatly pleased. My fath er Is not really Mr. Mallett his true name is Sir Geoffrey Mailing, aud he is your wife's uncle. In some extraordinary way, which papa will explain, the whole of the Mallingford property . comes tn . him In the event of Tauline's marrying I under twenty live without her guardian's j consent; so, you see, we are going to be very great people. I believe my mother! was not so well born us papa, aud the i.. . i . . . .

I know y.ui are not angry; l'n heard yo i nay oft u how glad you would I"'"' 1 ' I" share what ) on have wllh her." Ethel paused. Telling did not speak, and she fe t a little anxious. She had unintentionally stumbled upon the sub ject: but she knew it could not be avoided between them, so slip screwed up her courage and went on: 'Tcrhaps J should lmt say what 1 am going to my; but n,, real harm ,an count from smiightforwardiios. We h ave been such good friends in the past that wo need not stay to pick and choose our words to eich other, need we? 1 want to congratulate jou on the recovery of your wife: but there is something in your face that checks me. Will yon tell mo all about it?" "I can't tell you a: about it." he sadl. "I only know that my wile refused to have anything to ,o wish me. and that she is now in Taris." "If 1 were you 1 should go to Taris, too." "I suppose I ought !u fact. I know I ought --mid I i n ,. lri,, , m,lkc ,, my iiiind t g ; ,t j cannot. " For an instant he dropped his head upon his hand, and a great rush of pity set Ethel's heart beating oddly. lis pulled himself together with mi impa tient exclamation. "What a bore you must think me!" he aid. quickly. 'Let us drop the sub ject. If I ever tiud yon can help me in any way. I will come no yon at once. As things are now. the less said the better. And so you are to possess the wealth wnicn I'auline has forfeited? 1 nm very gta.l very, very glad on all accounts but one. "And that is?" "It will make Dorntoti's task harder." The blond rushed over Ethel's face in n quick flush, aud it left again as quick ly. 'I don t know what said. you mean. she "I mean that Hornton was beguiled by my unhappy wife into lining us be did, that he was not master of his own ac tions, and that he would give a very great ileal to bp assured of your entir forgiveness. He has love ) you all thmugli his mad folly. He told me so himself on the very day of the wedding, before lie could have known anything of the change in your worldly affairs; so, when jou think of him in the future, you must not believe he was governed by inerco na ry considerations." "Thank you for your kind defense of l im." she responded, rising as her fath er entered tl le room. will remember to do as you say:" and she turned gayly to the door. "And now let me intro duce you to Sir Geoffrey Mailing of Mallingford Tark." A few weeks later Ethel and her father were settled at Mallingford. All the necessary legal formalities had 1 n gone through, and the county families had called upon Sir Geoffrey and his daughter. Lord Summers had suggest ed that the baronet should have a- public rcceptiou; but Sir Geoffrey had sternly and emphatically opposed any such dem onstration. So father and daughter had come down aud been met at the railway station by the family carriage, and had gone quietly to their respective rooms, after shaking hands with a few of the old servants whom Sir Geoffrey remembered in his brother's time, and had eaten their first dinner at Mallingford lis if they had but just returned from a short visit.

At first the principle of cold storage was used to carry perish able foodstuffs over the period of plen ty and distribute them through the fol lowing mouths of famine. Jtut accord ing to Investigations of iioards of Health lu some of tho larger cities, cold storage plants contain food Hint bus lain there from six months to two years because market conditions have not suited tiie speculators, and they are holding for greater prod is. The result Is that consumers are likely fo eat Homo very old stuff that may not be conducive to good health, and that furmers and other producers are like ly to suffer unfair competition when offering new wholesome products. IMekled 1'osts. Preservation of wood Is becoming more generul every year, says tho Kan sas Clfy Journal. They are even ex tending this pickling business to fence posts and telegraph and telephone poles. It works out well In both of these. In the pickling of ties, the rail roads are using a great many of the softer woods, those which ordinarily wouldn't last more than two or three years. ly the treatment of chemicals, though, their life Is extended to at least ten years. The movement first had Its origin about 1880, when attention was called by the government that there was becoming a scarcity of timber lu various sections of the country. I l-ee Sfeit llllrllollou.

The tie.stlou Is often discussed lis to tho cost of putting up silage, says Michigan Farmer. From n large num ber of records kept among Illinois farmers It was found to cost alsiut M cents per ton. In some cases the cost was ns much as cents per ton, wliilo in of hers as low as .15. In filling a Michigan silo this season where the horn was heavy and had to bo hauled nbout 1(H) rods to the silo It cost .17 cents per ton. Tho cost should vary with the distance the silage Is to be hauled. If silage Is fo be put up ceo iiomlcilly nu ensilage utter should bo used th.it will take the corn and handle It rapidly. Production of Mutton. An excellent authority on sheep glowing says: "The environment that conduces to the production of the most rapid growing mutloti Is not fhe one to produce fine wool, and the greatest per fection can be attained lu either woo! or mutton, as In anything else, only by fhe single eye. Let no one with the best types of male and female In both wool and mutton breeds have uny mis giving wllli regard to where lie Is go ing to stand. Crossing Is a transitional state that must evolve into a tilting survival of types of distinct attributes and special qualities to suit particular circumstances and environment."
