"You will sit down and take your ease.

M.tlJy, after having learned the reason
of bis uncle being away. To an onlooker
il Blight easily have been perceived that
the young mm had no very preat regret
in the rector's absence; but Mis. Tboru

iipvprley smiled complacently and
troked his short, silky ard. Since
necefsity would force him o make the
rctory his headquarters for at least
3K;ne few months, he was not at all
averse to hearing his aunt's lcws.
"I am not surprised they should come
5,ere ; it is a good country. I don't
know a better, and I hav traveled
lliroogh a good many in my ' hue. I sup
pose 1 can get a sort of aiouat in either
Oiaston or MontberryV"
"No need to go so far," smiled Mrs.
1 Uurt.gaic. "Y'our uncle has two hunt
ers in the stables, and bo will be infi
nitely obliged to any one who will give
then: a little exercise, mor especially
as he cannot be here to use them himself.
Would you like to go tnd nive a look at
them, my dear boy? Y'on will find I'ot

"I don't miud if I do. I?ut where are

Mis. Thorngate exp!aind h'-r reasons
Jor go'tig to I)inglewood.
"1. think I will leave the horses, and
accompany you," he aid ; ' it is just as
well to resume ac(iuainfan.''!jhi;-with the
lol'i around."
And so, chatting languidly in his soft,
musical voice, ISeverley liochfort walked
lirough the muddy lanes to L'mglewood.
Jlo lemeiubered he had made a distinct
HoipieFsion on Sheila Fraser when he met
lier before, and, although he had no defi
nite plans in his mind, he felt be should
La Wise to renew the friend h;p with this
extremely wealthy young woman.
He let Mrs. Thorngate's hcery tongue
run on, and was not very .--omiruuicative
about himself.
"Just back from the Cjpe," he ob
served, when his aunt pinned him on
this ixjint, "and an uncomfortable time
I have bad of it. Gold m'.nes, Indeed !
Moie like treadmills. Never worked so
Lard in my life, and nothing for it!"
lie laughed softly, "Aunt Agatha, I
have come home with empty pockets !"
A Blight shade passed over Mrs. Thorn
2ates face.
"YVr must not let that lat, Beverley,"
she replied ; then a little mor hurriedly,
you still have your small iLcome, of
course?"
"I am sorry to say, dear aunt, that
my lr.cone is a thing it ilto past. I
realized the capital when I was in Kng
iand before. 1 had absolute peed of the

Mr. Thomguto uttered a quiet "No,
dear, you did not," and wmehow tho

"They ci'itainly have served me very

was a curious smile on his face us he
iciv.l'.'d how often his brains had carried

Yes, I know ( Jlen durwvxxl," was all
he sr. id; but a keen listener might have
it tected somethins hard and strange in
his voice. "He is a very 'decided prig,
Ann Agatha."
Mrs. Thorngate made no r ply to this,
.'or. truth to tell, she had a weak spot
n her heart for Lord John, am! was one
ins warmest admirers.
"I hate priss ! I knew one out tSiere"
with a comprehensive nod backward at
some unnamed bourne "to w!em I took
a fancy." Beverley laughed softly. "He
was the surliest chap I ever 'nine across,
out what a plucky one! We knocked
ag.-iir.sf each other pretty often. I felt
sorry for him, somehow; h peomed al
ways so glum. He gave me a packet to
brine home to some lawyers here, and
made me s-.venr I would hiiiet!y deliver
it. He called himself John Marsh, but
I am quite sure that was ne: his najne.
He must have tx'en a good looking fellow
when he was younger, with eyes as blue

Agatha, and coal black hair. A strange

"Why, that's just -vhat ll.at child is

"What child?"
"Miss Fraser's maid, and a protege of
fins! Such a lovely little creature. I
wisrt jou could see her, Beverley."
' I never waste my admiration on ser
var.ls," he said as they reached the low,
wide porch-like entrance of Uinglewood
House.
Miss Fraser was disix'nsing tea to her
grace the Iiuchess of 1 la. rorough nnd
one oi two other people. Phe received
Mrs. Thorngate in the wi rm, pretty
fasu.on she always asuoied befcre Jack's

"How good of you to rjme ! Pear

The duchess moved her sr-fle skirts
so that Beverley might sit down. Lord
John was speaking very plaialy and earn
estly
"Sheila," he said, as he lr?w the girl
apait from the rest for a uument, "how
coinrs that man here?"
"What mnu? Oh. Mr. Bochfort?

"Whoever he may be, I snow him as

'Mr. Thorngate has nothing to do
with hiin. I doubt if he would ever let

B verley was in the best of spirits.
He had carefully noted ih-it whispered
toniiience at tlio tire, )ust us he had
noted that Lord John Glendurwood did
not vouchsafe him any greeting. He was
much relieved as Sheila caina up to them
and treated him to a smile. He did not
quite understand her expression, but ho
studied it well and determined to think
it oer. He was a most dimming man;
he could tell an anecdote with just enough
disregard for the truth as to joint it well
and make it more palutaole. His voice
was so pleasant, his beari.jg so grace
ful, and his face so bands ime, that ho
won everybody's heart.
Tou must come -to CraljUnds," cried
the (ii'chess, with decision.
Meanwhile Jack Glendu-wood was
strioing through the chill February af
ternoon ; a slight frost and isli of snow
had prevented tho meet tbat morning.
and he felt a trifle bored.
By this time he was at 'lie stables,
nnd, going in, he examined Sheila's mare
iliat-e and gave a word of praise to the
head groom. As he was bauntering
across the court yard he run against a

Thorough plowing nnd siibsolllng nro
oven more necessary when planting un
grnfted resistant!) than when planting
bmch grafts, says a bulletin Issued by
tho exiierlment station of the Univer
sity of California. This Is because
good results can be obtained only If tho
rcslntantg are grafted young, and this
makes It essential to obtain a good
growth the first year. If the stock re
mains In the' ground for two, three or
more years before grafting, It becomes
hard and refractory to grafting and
good unions cannot bo obtained. Tho
stocks should make snlllelent growth
the first year to nllow of their being
grafted tho spring following tho plant
