Once outside the awning Audrey drew a deep breath. A few couples were troll ing to and fro. but she passed them and went swiftly aft. Had she been less dnaed and weary she might have wondered at the sound of a light cry quite close, but she was think ing of Jack, and all else was lost upon Jier. "I will just breathe some air and then KO below," she said to herself. "It was mtlflitig in there!" She stood looking over the moonlit centers for a moment, and then turned to a. As she did so. she was suddenly Hdinded. sense of horrible fear and help 'lessnes came over her, a strong, sickly unioll jwnetrated to her brain. She tried to scream, to struggle tn vain. Her Jlmhs lost their strength, her brain reeled she knew no more. There was great commotion on board the Mona that night. By some mis chance Lady John Glendurwood had lost lier footing, and had fallen overboard Into the still, deep waters below, and. t.y a. miracle of mercy, Beverley Roch tort had been near at hand, had plunged into the water, and. at risk of his own Jife. had succeeded in saving hers. This was the news that was telegraph d to John Gleudurwood up in Scotland, and which caused his cheeks to turn ashen gray, and then made him rush wildly to the 'station, en route for the outh. while Audrey lay still and white on her luxurious cabin bed. carefully watched by Mrs. Hungerford and Lady Ia!eswater, whose usually impassive countenance was pale and perturbed. "The shock to the nerves has been very great,"' said the doctor, who was sum moned hastily: "but for Mr.. Rochfort' bravery, my dear Lady Daleswator, her ladvship would not be alive now." In a dim, far-off way Audrey heard all this and pondered ver !t- Sne tried to ransack her brain to account for the ac cident, but In vain. Even when Jack came, and she felt his arms holding her close to his beating heart, her memory did not clear ; she could tell him nothing, for he knew nothing herself; it only trou bled her to think about it. So Jack took the doctor's advice and refused to allow any more questions. "She is saved, thank heaven, and that is all I care!" he said, rather brokenly, to his sister, and then, when he found himself face to face with Rochfort he went straight up to him. "Rochfort," be aid, quietly, "hitherto I have judged you harshly ; henceforth I will try and amend for that judgment. I owe my wife's life o you. Here is my hand. I only hope, some day. I may be able to show my grat itude to you and to repay yoa for what yon have done." Beverley replied by some graceful words, but as he was alone, he walked to the edge of the yacht and looked across the waters. "Here endeth the prologue," he said to himself; "now the drama is about to begin. CHAPTER XIX. The party on board the Mona was broken up. Audrey's nerves were shat tered for the time, so that Jack was not happy until he could remove ber from the yacht to the land. "What do you say to a short honey moon all alone with me before, we go back to Craiglands?" he whispered to her per suasively, and his heart rejoiced at the mile and blush with which she received this idea. And so, despite all Lady Daleswater could say, he carried his point, nd three days after her accident Audrey left the Mona and went to the quietest and most olitary part of the island that was to be found. She had one brief interview with Bev erley Rochfort, and her voice trembled as he tried to speak her tnank. line I'ullerton was standing by, and somehow It pained and angered him to hear her doing this. "Had I been on board I'll stake my existence It would never have happened," he murmured to himself, not understand ing why so curious and strong a doubt of Rochfort's bravery and honesty should cross his mind, but perfectly assured of its existence all the same. The day they left the Isle of Wight Jack seemed full .of mystery. "Now, I .wonder if you have the least Idea where you are going to,' my lady?" fce observed, merrily, as they readied txmdon and changed trains. "Home to Craiglands, of course." "No, not to Craiglands Just yet." 4'I really cannot Imagine, then, but," with a shy little blush, "I I don't care where it is as long as you are with roe." They smiled and chatted on, happy and serene, till they reached their journey's eud. "Now do you know where you are?" -Jack asked aa they drove through some dingy streets in a cab, leaving Murray at the station confiding her disgust to lier fellow servant, the successor to Hen ry Downs. "No," she said In bewilderment. "I have never been here before." "And yet you lived here all your life. This is Broadberougb, Audrey, and " "And are you going to take me to see Jean, dear Jean 1 Oh, darling, how can 1 thank youT How good you are to me! Jack, you must thank ber, you must be good to her, for she was the dearest and the best in the world to me. Jean, dear Jean! Oh, how alow this borse is going 1" "Audrey, I "hall begin to be jealous of lit Thwalt," Jack observed, with a twinkle In bis eye. "She has left the bouts. Mr. Lulworth has adopted her. I'ou I know all about it, I bars been busy writing while you writ dream ing." They entered a house as ,'ik spoke. "Then Jean knows I am coming? Au drey cried, excitedly, and then, the next minute, she had flown up slender. gray-robed figure and bad flung her arms about It with a reckless disregard for the astonishment of th neat servant-maid, or the portly, kind-faced Mayor. "Audrey my queen !" "Jean darling!" The joy of that meeting was not to be adequately described. All Jean's fears and stifled .longings were swept away now. Her Audrey was not changed: she was as sweet, aa dear as ever, and how beautiful ! Jack, after cordially greeting his girl- wife's friend, left thera to themselves for a moment : aud then, after he had chat ted with Mr. Lulworth, who gsied with mingled awe and deference on Audrey, scarcely believing his eyes, he turned to the two girls. "Now, Audrey, I think. If you make inquiries, you will find that Miss Thwait's trunks are all packed and that we can take our departure together." "Jack" Audrey paused for a moment "Jean Is to come back with me ! Oh, Jack ! You darling !" Mr. Lulworth discreetly turned his back, but Jean looked on with tearful yet joyful eyes as Audrey flung herself into her husband's arms and kissed him warm- ly. Half an hour later a merry party was driving to the Broadborough station. Jean Thwait had to pinch herself to reallre that It was really she herself who was sitting there opposite that smart, hand some young man. and beside her beloved Audrey, so lovely and exquisite In her dainty clothes. She was dazed with joy. speechless with excitement, and these emo tions mingled made her pale, delicate face almost pretty. How thoy traveled to Mountberry the two girls really could not have told. They had so much to say, so many exclama tions of delight and affection that the time passed unheedingly, and Audrey ouly realized khe was back in what would be her home for some time, when on alighting she saw the carriage, perfectly appointed, waiting to receive them. When at last she was alone with her husband, having herself deposited Jean, speechless with admiration, in a dainty bedroom, she had no more words left with which to thank him. She simply went up to him, and putting her slender arms about him, thanked him in a mute way which touched him inexpressibly. CIIAPTER XX. This visit of Jean's was the crowning point of Audrey's happiness. Jean loved to watch them strolling together, arm in arm, through the grounds. She was a dreamer, and she transformed those two into every hero and heroine of history or romance. Day by day she found some new trait to love and admire. As for Jack, he cordially liked the pak, intellectual-faced girl ; she was by nature a thorough lady, and her mind gave evidence of deep thought, that only required culture to blossom into great cleverness. After they had been at Craiglands a fortnight there was a bustle and a con fusion. Miss Fraser returned to Dingle wood House. She brought back with her about half a dozen guests, amoDg whom were Mrs. Fairfax and her daughter, the Honorable Lancelot Twist, and Beverley Rochfort. Lady Daleswater1 was to join her in a few days, and the earl also prom ised the honor of his presence. "I suppose we shall be having a wed ding at Dinglewood before long," declar ed Jack, one morning ar tuncheon. ' Audrey was silent for a moment. "Gladys will be at Dinglewood next week. Must we ask them to dinner?" she said at length. "I really don't see why we should. If Gladys wants to visit Mountberry she ought to come and stay with us ; she knows that." "But Sheila asked her first, and we can't quarrel at her for accepting an In vitation, can we, Jean?" "Why not ask Lady Daleswater to come to Craiglands when her visit ends at Dinglewood House?" Jean suggested, timidly. "You may do as you like, Audrey, but I still maintain that Gladys should have come to us first; there, kiss me, darling. I am going to ride over to Beighton on business." Audrey ran to the door with him, and saw him mount and ride away. "Now for our visiting, Jean," she said, and ordered out the barouche, and went to dres herself for the occasion. They called at a number of houses, at Lady Grace Huntley's, at the Everests', and many others, and ended by alighting for a few minutes' chat with Mrs. Thorn gate, who was rather cold toward Audrey, and then by driving to Dinglewood House. Audrey walked into the drawing room, a slender, graceful form, in her dress of dark green velvet, close-fitting Jacket, and small hat to match. Beverley Roch fort, as he rose to met the regal girl, quickly determined that, beautiful as she always was, she had never looked more beautiful than now, Mrs. Watson was knitting by the fire, grim as a sntinel, and Mrs. Fairfax was dozing over a novel In the most comfort able chair she could find. "My niece Is out, Lady John," Intoned Mrs. Watson, rising stiffly; "she is rid ing." "Yes; didn't you know that? How strange!" And Mrs. Fairfax laughed softly and disagreeably to herself. "I don't quite sea where the strange ness comes in," Beverley Rochfort re torted, coolly, as he banded some tea to Audrey and Jean. "I merely meant It was strange that your husband should not have told you he was going to ride out with Sheila this afternoon, but, no doubt, be did not think it was necessary ; after all, they arc such old friends, Lady John, there is no need for you to be Jealous. "Of course, had your husband kwwn he was to have the pleasure of Mlsa Fraser' company during his ride, Audrey, he would have told you," Jean suld. very quietly, looking Mrs. Fairfax full in the f.'oe with her honest, clear, gray eyes; "I expect it was a hasty arrangement, was it not, Mr. KoehfortV "I think you must bo right, Ml Thwait," was his answer. He cared nothing for Mrs. Fairfax's angry gin nee; he saw that he had made a great stride In both Audrey's and Jean Thwait's esti mation. "How are all your animals?" he said, coming up to Audrey, and con versing In a soft, low voice. judrey, feeling grateful to hlia for h!s delicate tact, responded more wannly than she had ever addressed him Ncfore. while Mrs. Fairfax fixed her eyeglass on Jean, and tried to stare down the "Im pertinent young 'rson" who had dared to cross words with her. "Kr you are an old friend of Lady John's, I presume. Miss er Thwait?" "Yes," Jean answered, laconically. "You were educated together?" "Yes," Jean answered a second time. "So you are a charity girl, too?" she observed, slowly. "Pardon me. I was, but am no longer. Would you really care to hear all my fam ily history, madam? I assure you It I most interesting. My father " But Mrs. Fairfax drew back her chair. This low-born creature actually had the effrontery to be laughing at her. "1 er really don't think I will trou ble you. Miss Thwait." "Well." declared Jean, as they drove away, "so those are the manners of the aristocracy, are tbey? Give me plebeian ways in future. What a horrid woman, Audrey, and did you see ber face thick with paint?" "She is certainly very disagreeable to me. Why should she have ild that about Jack?" "Because sh Is a cat. my dear child, and she felt she must scratch." "Well. I was really most grateful to Mr. Rochfort. He came to the rescue most gallantly." Jean was silent so long that Audrey at last laughingly Inquired the reason. "I was thinking about that man. Au drey, you were quite right to fear him : he is dnngerous. Mrs. Fairfax Is a vul gar cat ; her warfare won't harm you : but Beverley Rochfort Is a snake, and he will sting you when yon least erpect it. Thnt Is my humble but firm opinion. I may be wrong, but I don't think so. Be warned, my darling, trust to your first im pulse and shun that man !" (To be continued.) Trackless Trslai Oo Everywhere. Locomotives without tracks, drawing behind theiu ion? trains of cars, and speeding over the highways, are to-day familiar sights In Europe, from Franco In the west, to Turkey In the east. Un der the caption. "Trackless Trains Go Everywhere," Donald Burns, In the Technical World Magazine so write Wherever the ordinary four-wheeled vehicle can go, the trnekless trolley can go likewise. Tho author describes one particular model, known as the Renard train, as follows: "This latest prod igy, the Renard train. Is a train of passenger or freight vehicles, headed by a steam or gasoline locomotive which travels over country roads and town or city streets. The ordinary railway train calls for trteel rails and a special right-of-way ; the Renard trnln has no necessity for either of these, hut shares the common highway with the horse- drawn vehicle." Further on, the writer says: "In France the Renard train has loen used for military service with marked re sults. A convoy so transported oecu pies one-eighth the space of one drawn by mules, or horses, nnd It travels at a speed of ten miles per hour." Even Turkey and Persia, two countries which are noted for their backward ness In niont things, have been quick to take up the new Ideas. Natural Evidence.

Frequently two crop may Im had on the an mo plot during the year, such ns early ns followed by late cabbage, or turnips tuny follow onions; but the soil should ho rich and well supplied with manure or fc.rtlllr.er.

The majority of furmers give but lit tle attention to gardening. They regard the spnde, hoe aud rake as implements which Involve too much time and la bor. If a fanner desire to grow a corp of any kind ho prefers to do the work with a plow aud cultivator, and In wholesale manner. This repugnance to using the small tools, lu order to grow a supply of vegetables, has been tho cnuso of depriving hundreds of farmers of luxuries that would have cost but littlo If they had considered the value of the crops from a garden, and also the real cost compared with a crop of grain or potatoes. But there are, however, some farmers and their wives who know how a garden hiis to make a farm enjoyable, and they are tho ones who will now enjoy the work of planting the seeds of the many different kinds of vegetables, for there In no portion of farm life so agreeable as that of preparing the ground In the spring for the garden. There has been an advance In the system of gardening. While the hoe, rake and spade still hold a place In tho list of garden tools, yet they have Uen suierseded ninlnly by the single and double wheeled hoes and seed drills, which save time and labor and which cau bo used for doing good work. Fralt Tree Planting. For fruit treo planting, when the sub-soil Is clay and apt to tie water logged, not only should It bo well drain ed first, but the bottoms of tho holes lu which the trees are planted should have placed In theiu some coarse rubble, to act ns drainage also. Apart from such material helping to keep the roots out of the clay below, it serves also to keep them fairly dry and aerated, and that is very Important for the future health of the trees. In making holes on such ground, throw out to fully three feet wide and twelve Inches diH?p. Into euch hole then put four luches of old brick and mortar material, or clinker, or other hard, coarse material. well trodden and leveled. Crion that put, If obtainable, pieces of turf, upside down, then three Inches of soli, and plant tho trees. In that way not only will tho roots be kept near tno surrace and be healthy, hut because tho trees are on slight mounds, they can lie fed each summer with a mulch of manure, Too much trouble can not ho taken In planting tree on stiff soli, to keep the roots near the surface. lonlnx Corn for Fodder. The silo has opened advantages to dairymen In other countries whero corn does not mature. In England, whero tho conditions are unfavorable for tho production of matured crops of corn, the farmers sow corn for fodder, store it In the silo, then grow a crop of tur nips on tho land, from which they took the fodder. The same system can bo practiced In this country, but our farm ersfcre content with one crop, and thus do not derive as much from the land an Is possible to be obtained. The land In Englund Is high, and farmers pay high rents, but they do not hesltato to use manures and fertilizers freely, securing large crops in return Car of tho Colt.

The grlndatone Is a valuable adjunct to good farming, If thorough work Is desired. It Is no easier to keep poultry than any other stock, as labor and proper management must be used to meet suc cess. Less capital may be required with poultry, but It must be Judiciously eipended, or a loss can result as easily as from any other source. Experience Is of more value than capital In poultry raising.
