linsty "good-night," she olipioil away,
1xm1Uha that Beverley Koch fort was
watching hor and was following close be-
Jund hor.
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 !"

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.

ralllvatlaar th Garden.
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,

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

Gleaning.
When farmers are busy In the spring
they are liable to neglect many matters
which should command their attention.
Get the implements In readiness and
sharpen the tools. 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.
