i THE CHARITY GIUL f 1 By S3FFIC A. ROWLANDS I Mrs. Thorngato was wai'ing for her, nil came up to hor at onif. At tho first glimpse of her sweet, motherly face Au drey's nervousness wont. The vicar's wife spoke cheerfully and kindly to tho girl, ami a thoy walked out of the station together her t hough's were very busy. "What con M George hrw bten think ing about when ho spoke r,C this child as 'nice looking?' Why, tie words are heresy when used to desor'Lo her face! Poor soul! I nin sorry for Lit! Such beauty in her station of life does not moan happiness." Audrey found herself pvVlng quite naturally ami easily to this kind man tiered woman, ami answered all the ques tions Mrs. Thorugate put to her In hor fresh, rloar voice niul re tin d tones. Put whatever the vicar's wife was turning over in her niiiiil d was never permitted to ripen, for just as they were passing in at the rectory garden a pret ty place even in the chill Foitr-.iary woath r a young lady, mount--! on a bay liorse with black points, mil attended a smart groom, role swi't'y along the road. She drew rein as ;the saw Mrs. Thorn gate. "Hood morning," she cried, "n a clear, rather hard voice. "Have 70 ii soon any thing of Uird John? They -ell me he oame a cropper just by IVlf Woods, and went back by train to get mother mount. us he had lamed old Hector. You have not seen him. Mrs. Thorngute? lear me, how tiresome! The day t quite hot. and we shaped the have such n rattling jjood run." "It is a pity," Mrs. Thornyite assent til heartily, for in hor youth she had been a first rate sportswoman, and she sym pathized with the girl's disappointment warmly; "but can't you c.-eh them up somewhere. Miss Fraser? Where was the meet?" CHAPTER III. Sheila Fraser explained ivctj thing in li'er sharp way, and Audi.r, standing modestly in th? background, looked in admiration and surprise at the Deat. well turned fijure sitting easily iu ihe saddle, at the small, oval face under the straight list brim, and the coil of rod gold hair at the nape of the neck. How pretty this Miss Fraser was! Her teeth were so even and s white, her -heeks so rosy warm in coLt; only her eyes seemed cold and hard. They moved about quickly, and to Audrey were just like sharp needles. "I rode hack to inqul-e after Lord John at his mother's requosr, because rome one said he was really bnrt. Now. I wish I had not been, so i.uixotic. I really don't quite know what I shall do." Miss Fraser tapped her sm.-ll foot with her whip impatiently, and then frowned. The wind had blown the ved over Au drey's face again, but she could see through it easily, and she did not like that frown, it made the eyes reore sharp and cruel than before. "I suppose it is no use nk.ng you to have some luncheon whh .ne," Mrs. Thorn gate said, and thon, all at once, she re membered Audrey, and jUertd an ex clamation. "I very nearly forgot," she said, turning to Miss Fraser, "your new maid has arrived. This is -she.'' Sheila Fraser looked carelessly at the slender form in ils black -o:ik and ail. "Oh !" she said shortly ; she paused a moment, and then addressing Audrey, "'yon had better go up to Dinglewood at once; ask Hircham ; she will tell you what your duties are, and tr what is jour name?" "MaTse Audrey Maxse," Mrs. Thorn gate replied, quickly. "Well er Maxse, you .most alter your dress. That funeral clar- and veil are simply absurd. Please see to that at ouce." Miss Fraser bent from her saddle to ask one or two questions coniic'entlally of the vicar's wife, and then her face flushed, and she uttered an exclama:;on of pleas ure. "Here he is, after all!" ta a horse man came fleetly toward them. Jack Glendurwood pulled up with a jerk. "Halloo, Sheila, you bre? Why, I thought you would hare been at Sher wood Downs, at least, by this time." He was thoroughly well o'eansed of all mud, and looked as spc;k f.nd span as Miss Fraser herself, as ho :emoved his Jiat and greeted Mrs. Thorngate. ; "Jleard you bad a cropper, and, as your mother was anxious. I rode back to see what was left of you," Sheila re plied in a curt, somewhat mn-uline man ner. "Poor mother," he said, lightly. "Well, he best thing we can do Is to tear down Ho Welland! The hounds went through tthere a few minutes ago, I heard; I thought I might catch them up here, but they have not come this nay, we are pretty sure of tumbling in with them in that direction." He looked eager to be off, nnd his eyes never went toward the gate where Audrey stood, shrinking back shyly, In her black piruients. A few more wonls exchanged and the two young people rede off, and Mr. Thorngate came up to Audrey. "Well, how do you like your young mistress' looks?" she asked, k'rdly. Audrey paused for a moment, then la a numb sort of way she answered : "She is very pretty, I think." 'Miss Frase is the acknowledged beau ty of these parts she is au heiress. Din glewood is a lovely place. I hope you will get on well with her, rcy dear, and be happy in your new home." Miss Fraser came homo very tired about 0 o'clock, and found Rircbara, her first maid, carefully instructing tho new comer in the various duties expected of lier. Audrey, mindful of her mistress commands, had put on tier only other gown, a thick gray one of rough material, with neat collar and cuffs, and a black ribbed apron. Iler hair wis brushed straiyht off her face, and rolled In a huge knot at the back of her exquisitely shaped head. She was pole, but her eyes were ehlniug with admiration and eurpriae and owe excitement Neter, la Ler wildest dreams, had she conjured up so many lovely things as wore massed together In Sheila Eraser's apartments, with their silken hangings, their dainty furniture, costly ornaments, and tho hundred and one appointments which flnirhod every corner. "It is like fairyland." Audrey said over and over again In her hi w ilderment. She hardly liked to tread on the Per sian fugs and furs thrown on the floor, and she bold her breath as she stood be side the Ivory toilet table, at,. I gufod at tho brushes and array of bo' ties and oth er knickknacks In old Dutch s'lver. "If Jean could but see them!" was her thought. She was quite dsxed with all the love liness about hor. and gave l;:le cries of surprise and delight as ISiivham lighted the pink globed lamps and s''rred the lire into a blaze. She felt it must he some: delicious, heaven-sent dream, and that presently she should wake and find herself in hor oolu, hard boil at the home, the bell clanging the time to rise. Sheila's arrival dispelled 'bis feeling, and, 11s the young lady entered, she seem ed to bring a rush of cold air with her that destroyed the illusion of fairyland. "My bath at once!" she ordered, sharp ly; and then, looking aorvss r.t Audrey, she nil.lod : "You must rotn-Mihor to have it always ready for me when 1 have been out hunting, Maxse. Hircliaai, you have told her everything?" "Yes, miss, everything." "Let her remain here an I watch you to-night." Audrey stood In a dusky 'orner with her hands folded, as Miss Eiaser. having plunged into her bath and th is refreshed and invigorated herself, sit before the long, ivory-mounted duchesso mirror, and put herself into ISircham's hauds to have her hair dressed. Audrey thought she had t.ever seen anything so beautiful as Silvia Eraser's hair; every thread seemed of burnished gold as the brush went thrngh it, and the lamp light shone on it, a'.d when by and by her young mistress s.o-vl adorned for dinner In a black cro(e gown, with diamonds glittering in her wavy tresse and around her white throat, the girl was quite dazed. It had been such a long, wonderful day, full of such agitation and to many new experiences. CHAPTER IV. Audrey woke with a start the next morning, and her first thought was how angry Miss Irons would he that she was late. The faint, golden rays of the Feb ruary sun were streaming :n through the sides of the blind; tho bell was not ring ing. She looked about her in a dazed, mechanical fashion, sitting np m bed, with her mass of black hair tossed loosely on her shoulders. Where was she? Surely that was not Jean's bed In the other -i.-ner? Jean never snored like that. She rubbed her eyes, shivered a little with the cold, and then was wide awake. She was not in her old bedroom, but in hr new, and that sleeping form across in the other corner was not Jean's small, thin one. but the large-boned, heavy frame of Hircham, her fellow-servant. She shut the door quietly and went down stairs, and brushed a-ay briskly at the riding habit and oth?r garments for a good half hour; then, with a shy laugh, she determined to go on to the servants' quarters and reeonnoiter. "I must meet the others sooner or later," she thought. A rosy cheeked housema'd was busy with her broom and stopped to courtesy as she saw what she took 13 Le a guest coming down the wide oaken staircase -there were always two or :-( strangers at Dinglewood. Audrey was gazing out of her lovely dark blue ?yes with deep pleasure and Interest at the fresh won ders that met her gaze at every turn; her young, buoyant, nervously excitable heart thrilled as with delight at the carv ed oaken panels, the full-length costume portraits, the figures in armor that stood in their niches, as though guprding the old house as their dead and gone wearer did in the days of yore. Thj housemaid's respectful courtesy first provoked a smile I and then a little sigh. "I want to find the kitchen; am I going wrong?" she said, and tf-pn she put out her hand. "I am the new maid, Au drey Maxse! Shall we be friends? What is your name? If It is like your face it is sure to be nice." The housemaid stared at her In amaze ment; but when she saw that Audrey still held out her hand, she put her own rough palm into It, while sb- grinned good naturedly, "I baint bad frens with no one, I baint, and I likes you! Whv, I took you for a lady. There! My ;iame'B 'Lisa. What's yourn, did you say?" Audrey explained all that was neces sary, and then Eliza showed fcer the way to the housekeeper's room, t!io servants' hall and the kitchen. "You come down the wrong stairs," she said. "Them's the ones you must use," pointing to her right. "Here's the kltchlug. My ! Don't the hrtkkus smell nice? Ain't you 'ungry? You must eat a lot, and then you'll get red cheeks. Here's Mr. Downs!" and E'ira broke off to giggle, as a young man a very good lmitutlon of a gentleman imuntered in through the open doorway that led to the courtyard, thence to the stables and the kitchen garden beyond. "He's Lord John's valley," she whispered In a loud voice to Audrey, "and such a swell !" Mr. Downs smiled with .Ti'ich superi ority as he caught Eliza's ingenuous tone of admiration. He was soon (hading and joking with her, whilo Audrey, who felt au Indescribable vexation and dislike aris ing within her at the man's presence, went to the doorway and walked out into the courtyard. It wng so clear nnd fresh in the cold morning air that she soon lost her vague dls:omfort, and began to make friends with the half dozen dogs of every sort and description, who came from the stables to Inquire Into tho i.jw arrival. A voice from behind broke ber silence, and, turning, with a fmn, ho saw that Downs l.ml followed ber. "You'll get cold out here, miss." th young man said, fixing his eyes 011 her exquisite face with astonished admira tion; "and you're much 100 pretty Audrey drew herself up. She was very young, and she had never had occasion to feel the sort of angry resentment that this man's bold stare awakened in her breast. She was too ner.'ous to make any reply, but she turned louiul quickly and went Indoors before he know what she was doing. "Oh! That's her sort. Is M s" observed Mr. Henry Downs to hion'lf "Who's she, I'd like to know, though she Is so pretty, to give herself airs 1 ko a queen? Well, we'll soon take that out of her, or my name ain't Downs." Ami, dispensing a few Hek to the doss, tho man walked away down tin courtyard to give his master's order to the head groom. I Audrey, to her great relief, found that a message had come for her t- go to Miss Eraser's ro m at on. v. fUieila Fraser was lying in her luxuriant td, her rod gold hair thrown over the pillows In pic turesque confusion as Audrey entered. "I.iht my tiro at once." she ordered, sharpl.t ; "then pull up the blind, and givo me those papers and letters, Maxse.' Audrey stirred the sinoi l -ring embers into a blare, throw some wood on to it, and then drew back the si!!en curtains. Miss Eraser took the letters am stared at tho girl. "1 don't think I shall ' ke this girl." she said to herself. "She is evidently stupid, and stares at one in an uncanny fashion. (Jo to Mrs. I'r nor's room -ou know whore it is - give her my love, and ask how she is tins inoining," she said, shortly. She lay quite still as Audrey went n ay, then, with a sudden mm einent, she dipped from the bed, went a.'ross the rich carpet to the mirror, nnd Ki'rod silently at her own imago. Never l.elore, in the whole of her life, had s!i ever vlewd her own reflection with nnvthing but pleasure. What whs it that Jarred her now? Not only Ihe luck of symmetry in feature, the difference '11 coloring was it not a certain air of unaccounta ble refinement a something that In-spoke tho patrician iu Audrey's face, and that wa. wanting in her own? She was not patrician bo.-n she was of the people. Her father had boon a hard headed Scotch merchant, born of re spectable Scotch tradesfolk; her mother the rich and only daughter d a Cumber hind brewer. They were wealthy, they had land, they had retinues of wervants. bu' st ill they were beyond the sacred inner social round. Sheila to-ild remetu 1st distinctly the days before her moih tr's death; she was only a crl of eight, but she was wonderfully sharp and pre cocious for her years. Mrs. Eraser had no other children. She was an unloved wife, her ambitions did not keep pace with those of her husband, mil the rift, Ix-gun almost immediately after the mar riage, widened and widened until they wer-e virtually separated altogether. George Eraser neither felt nor pretended to feel any sorrow when Vs wife died. He was considerably enrictu-d l.y her for tune. (To be continued.)

Slow March of Mul. It takes time for Hume operas to come to England, but tiluck's "Armlde," beloved of Marie Antoinette, probably establishes a record In this respect.

Of course, cattle should not Is where young trees are planted, especially fruit trees; but It fotnet lines happens that this Is not practicable.

In apples, cherries and plums we would rather have a twoyearohl tree, 4 to tl fet. that Is thrifty than any other size. Oftentimes the larger trees. 0 to 7 feet, do well when the conditions are favorable, but If the coudlthuj' nr' not favorable, following the transplant ing of the trees of this sl.e, they often got tlte backset from which It takes several years to recuperate, and theo! JtK'tlon of planting out very small trees Is that th?y are much more liable to be Injured by rabbits and broken down by cultivation than the larger size. Twen tieth Century Fanner. Mtnrlnir 'arrnt or Turnip. When carrots or turnips are stored outside they cannot always be reached when desired for use, nnd it will, therefore, be advantageous to store them In bins, in a dry cellar. If imck od In 'terfectly dry sawdust, ontis, corn, or even dry earflu they will keep well and can be taken out of the bins at any time. It Is the alternate freezing and thawing that damage all root crop stored away In winter, but a the pack ing material keep" them at even tem perature this liability Is avoided. Tho oats or corn used for the pur-xise will not be Injured, and may be fed while using the roots coining from the bin. Cheviot Sheep. A Wlsconaln man writes a follows of the Cheviot breed of sheep: The Cheviot breed of sheep Is a eourjmra tlvely small breod of a seml-mountaln-ous charactr. They are uprightly ami very active In their habit and art possessed of a fair mutton fonn, being low down and compact. The fleece I long and in Oneness excel any of tho down breeds.

There are period when the farmer cannot perform work In the field, for which reason be should aim to got hi crops under shelter as soon as possible, In order to do some kinds of work which can be performed lnsldo the barn. feeding Fowl.

' Malry school are now In oporallon In many Stales, and short courses of Insirucllon on butter and cheese mak ing are given at some of the agricul tural colleges. II was long ago demon strated that Inferior buller could not compete with olcitinaigiirlni, and that good butter of choice iplilllly could al ways Is sold at a fair price. The fact has also been demonstrated that there was much to learn In making good but ter, and that cleanliness and the proper management of the milk were essential In producing the choice article. There has been a wonderful advance In meth od of butter making, and oleomurgu fine Is responsible tor It. Consumers w ill not purchase the counterfeit article If they can get the genuine, and poor butter Is as much a eouteifclt as any other Imitation. leniillnesa In III tlrr. The Kansas Experiment Station say very truly. In bulletin: Cleanliness Is the Mist law which slsmld be observed by every man w ho In any way manufac. tures or fiandles dairy product. Any condition which will promote this end effectively should be established. The simpler these condition can bo inado the better, I'ncleati dairy utensils are among the greatest sources of contam ination of milk. This contamination Is due to tho prcscniv of undesirable bac tt rla. The undesirable bacteria are those that produce taints In milk, nod which exist principally In tilth lodged on the surface and In the crevices of dairy utensils. They are minute organ isms which have the iwor of multiply ing very rapidly under favorable con dition. Keetllna Ihe Y.mii.m f'nlf Milk. A dairy .farmer of experience give his plan of teaching young calves how to drink milk without trouble, and says In the Tribune Farmer that he lets the calf stay with the cow a few hours only, then be milks tin cow In a few hours after removing the calf and put the bucket of warm milk to the calf nose so as to touch It, and In a minute or two It will drink, and the work Is done. The calf has now learned to drink like other animals, and the trouble of feeding milk to calves Is over. The mistake usually made Is In allowing young calves to run with the cow sev eral days, and so It has learned to suck, and It Is hard to teach it any other way. Neirntlatlnua for I'. . faille.
