ROWLANDS I Cll APTElt XXIII. Am Audrey gave that cry and turned. Fheila Fraser ouJ the man with her looked keenly after her. "Quick." Sheila muttered, hoarsely. "She ha scon, she believes It all! Make liaste, go after Iht. You must stop her In case lie hu come and she should meet Mm! Quirk! (live me that domino! 1 can hide It under mine!" Beverley Kochfort for it was he hurriedly threw off the gray clonk, and without a word strode after Audrey. It wag against Beverley Koohfort'a form that she stumbled in her blindness and weakness, and in his arms she rested a she lay insensible. Beverley paused only for a moment, then glancing to right nd left he picked up his burden and ent quickly through the trees to the rus tle house near where Audrey h:id seen hat she supposed to le her husband clasping Sheila Fraser In his arms. Reaching this. Beverley removed the mask from the lovely face that was white and cold, as though death itself was print d on it, plans! the girl'a senseless form In one of the long, cushioned girden chairs, and then (ood with folded arms surveying her. "After to-night your pride will be humbled." he said to himself, "and that husband of yours will fiud out what it Is to have made an enemy of me." Then, stooping, he kissed Audrey's un conscious lip passionately, 6ercely, many times ; but ao deep and awift had been the blow struck to her young heart that not even at this degradation did nature wake to protect and repel. "It must be time now," he muttered, and he laughed softly to hinisolf as he closed the door of the garden house and turned the key in the look. "I have you safe now, my lady !" he aid. aa he put the key in a pocket of his domino and hurried away. He had not gone far iuto the crowd f dancers and promenaders before he be came aware of a form close beyond him vthieh, if he had not known so well to the contrary, he could have sworn was Audrey herself. There was the black and silver domino, the white satin skirts peeping below, and the dainty black lace mask ; the hood arranged exactly as Au drey's had been. "It is excellent, upon my word. Sheila Is clever when she likes to be." he said to himself with much deliberation. He was standing close beside Lady Daleswater; he knew her by her hard mouth and chin, even If Sheila had not carefully taught him all the colors of the dominoes who were necessary to the little drama they were enacting to-night. With dadys, there were Mrs, Fairfax and sev eral women whom he knew were all jeal ous and envious of Audrey enemies, ev ery one. He moved up to Mrs. Fairfax. "Can you tell me who that black and silver domino is?" he asked, sinking his voice. "Oh, that is Lady John Glendurwood. Fbe seems to be enjoying herself, does she not?" "She does indeed," Beverley answered. Behind his mask he frowned. This supposititious Audrey was acting a little too much, in his opinion, flirting and laughing in the most outrageous manner. "Sheila must give her a hint, she mustn't stay too long. Glendurwood might arrive at any moment." Fortunately for him, Sheila came up to him then, and she readily saw the wisdom of his words. Going up to the woman disguised as Audrey, who was none other than Mur ray, the discharged lady's maid, she made some sort of excuse and walked away with her and her parner 'just as Jack Glendurwood, in bis gray domino and mask, came up to where bis sister was standing. "Halloo, Gladys!" he said, laughingly. "Guessed you easily enough, you see. SVhere's Audrey?" "Your wife is just leaving the ball room with Miss Fraser." Jack glanced down to the other end, and just caught a glimpse of a black and silver domino leaning rather heavily on the arm of some man. "Who is the man, I wonder?" he thought to himself, and he was just rush ing off after them when Lady Dales water stopped him. "Jack, give me your arm : this room is o hot, and I want to speak to you." Lady Daleswater was unconsciously aiding Sheila's drama, though, apart from her own desire to speak out strong ly on Audrey's extraordinary behavior. Miss Fraser dad asked ber to keep her brother engaged as long as she could wheti he arrived. With a grimace Jack agreed. "It is rather hot; and I am not in the best of tempers," he said, frankly. "I Lave driven all the way to Beignton and Lack to see Benson, and then found that there was a mistake be had gone to Lon don. His secretary swore that no tele gram bad been sent to me ; but, of course, he had to change his tune when I pulled It out of my pocket and showed the mes sage to him. Then be wanted to say It was some hoax ; but who on earth would want to hoax me?" "Strange things happen sometimes," Lady Daleswater said, curtly. "Yes, and from all accounts they bap pen sometimes at masked balls," laughed Jack. "Even the short time I have been here I have heard nothing but gossip about the way some woman has been be having, quite scandalizing tbe old ladies fy ber outrageous flirting. Have you aeen her, Gladys? Do you know ber?" Lady Daleswater removed ber mask with a jerk, and then stared straight into her brother s eyes. "Yes, 1 have seen her, and I do know her." she said, very slowly. "To my un utterable shame I say it, Jack, for that woman was none other than your wife." "What?" Jack recoiled as though be had been struck, then rearing his head proudly, "How dare you say any such tbiug, Gladys? How dare you tnrow shame and discredit on a pure, sweet girl who has never done you a moment harm, who has nothing but good, gentle thoughts tat jou and voursT How dare your' "'Bees use It Is the truth! Tes. the truth," repeated the countess, curtly. "lld you been hero but a few moments fliro you would have aeon her with uur own eyes ! You would not have given me the lie in this way ! 1 say again. Jack, that It is your wife who has disgraced herself and us this night, who has made herself the gossip and the scaudal of the place for months to come." "Gladys, I will not listen to you." Jack had torn off his mask ; his face had grown as white aa ashes. "From to night, though you are my sister. I will never speak to yon again for traducing my wife's name. I thought you hard and cruel, but I thought also that, with all your faults, you had an honorable na ture. I shall find Audrey, and take her homo. This Is no place for her." Jack was turning . abruptly, when a soft exclamation beside him and a hand on his arm stopped him. "iArd John, and without your mask? Oh ! I ennuot allow this, it is against all rules." It was Sheila who spoke. "Have yon seen my wife. Sheila?" Jack asked, hurriedly. He replaced his mask as he spoke. "I left her a few moments ago. She was with Mr. IJochfort. Shall we go and And her?" Sheila put her hand on his arm, and .lack moved away with her without an other word to his sister. "Where did you say you had seen Au drey?" Jack asked, harshly. Sheila's eyes, shiulng hard and clear through her mask, were going quickly round. Where was Alice Fairfax? She should be at hand now to give the cue for the last act in the comedy that for two hearts this night would be bitter tragedy. Before she had time to grow angry a pale-pink domino fluttered up to them : the owner gave a girlish giggle. "Sheila, is it you? Y'es. I see It is. Such fun ! I have just seen the loveliest bit of spooning you ever saw. That ver) proper Lady John Glendurwood and who do you think? why, Beverley R.oeh fort ! Oh, I assure you they were going on like anything. They have gone to the old summer house, and " Sheila checked her accomplice with so well-acted an air of anger as to astonish Miss Fairfax. "Alice, how dire you ! What are you savin?, my dear child? You must not; it is very wrong!" Miss Fairfax pretended to lose her tem per. Iteally she had been an invaluable ally, and took as much delight in shar ing in this wicked plot as though she were joining in the purest and best work on earth. "I am only telling you the truth! If you don't believe me, go and see for your self ! I, for one, am not surprised, after the way she hns gone on to-night," and with that Miss Fairfax flounced her pink domino out of sight. Jack Glendurwood had made no sign ; not even the smallest exclamation crossed his lips. He stood erect and still, like a statue of stone, as they were alone again. Then suddenly be turned to Sheila. "Where Is this summer house she speaks of? Is it the old one I know?" Sheila bit her lip. She had never beard anything so terrible as the sound of his voice, the passionate constraint, the hol lowness of acute misery. "My dear Jack." she said, laughing nervously, "you surely do not mean to say you take any notice of that foolish girl's " "Will you answer me?" Jack replied, fiercely. For one moment Sheila's heart failed her. She began to see her work in its full vileness and sin. What if she had gone too far? What if he should mur der Audrey when he saw her? There was a sound in his voice that spoke of rage ungovernable and mad pride. "Do not take any notice of such gos sip. Jack, sne saia nurrieuiy. All the answer he gave was to begin to walk out into the grounds, and Sheila, nerving herself for the last, threw herself before him. "No, Jack," she said In low, choked tones, "you shall not go!" "What do you mean .' Ills face, from which be had torn away the mask, was almost savage In Its anger and horrible fear. "Do you know what you are Bay ing? Why must I not go and seek my wife? Am I not the proper person to do ao? Answer me this. Sheila Fraser, why do you stop me? Do you fear what I shall see and hear?" "Yes," she said, swiftly, "I fear for you. Jack." "Then be assured. Sheila, I shall not be harmed. Lead me to this summer house, that I may know the worst." Sheila tried to look imploringly at him, but he simply repeated the command, and, turning at length she obeyed him. When they were close to the small rustic building she stopped. "Go on alone," she said, and without another word Jack strode down the path. With a gasp of fear, Sheila followed him. What would he do, what would bo do? Cold as ice, yet burning with fever so terrible that it almost choked him. Jack passed down the path. His brain was on fire, Audrey was there Audrey, his pure love, bis darling, his wife! On all sides she bad been discussed, none had spoken kindly. What was this awful thing tbat bad come upon them? As be reached the door of the summer house he was trembling in every limb. His Hps opened to call ber name, then closed with a fierce curse. Another man was speaking it passionately, wildly. "Audrey, my love, my love, my darl ing !" With bis strong right hand Jack struck back the door and stood there, In the dim light a tall, avenging angel. Audrey, with one hand pressed against th wall, was standing before blm. At ber feet knelt Beverley Itoebfort, clasp ing the other hand, and kissing it as he poured out bis rows of lore. As Jack Is time for you to return to your homo." Audrey looked at her husband out of her groat, blue eyes, all distraught as they wore. For the moment she had for gotten his treachery at joy in his coining. Now, as with one heavy blow. It all re turned to her. The end had surely come when he could speak to her like this, and how terrible was the way In which ho stared at her. She bad not strength to move a limb or utter a sound. "I request that you accompany me to the carriage at once." Jack said, this time quite fiercely. Audrey drew her domino about her. Vaguely she felt that, bad as the horizon of her life had looked a short hour ago. it wss doubly worse now. She did not comprehend Jack's maimer, but It hurt her to the quick. That ho should speak to her like this, and before that odious, horrible man! She put out both her hands. Fear of Beverley drove away her jealous pnugs. "Yet. yes ; take me home. I am ready tj go. 1 entreat you to tike me!" Jack stood on one side for her to pass, an.l as he faced Beverley llochfort alone for an instant, he said, very quietly: "Kithor your life or mine answers for this night's work. You understand?" "Perfectly." smiled Beverley, but he frowned the nett moment. A duel! Tlils wss not what he had anticipated. Andrew did not catch the hurried words, and. as she walked away beside her husband, sho was too deeply miserable to think of anything but that a cloud had fallen on her life; that Jack's love had gone from her, and she was the most wretched girl on earth. (To be continued. I HISTORY OF LEAD PENCILS. feed la a Primitive Korra Back In the Mlddla Aaea. It Is dltlloult to determine the exact jhtIihI la which "black lend" was first utilized as un Instrument for writing or drawing, us It baa been confused with other mineral bodies to which It bears no relation. The ancients used lead, but the metal was formed into flat plates and the edges of these plates used to make the mark. If an orna mental design was desired the tran scriber drew parallel lines and traced their Illuminated designs, usually with a hard point, but al with soft lead. That leud wns known to the ancients Is also proved by the fact that it Is men tioned In tho book, of Job. During the year B515 there was a de scription of the black lead jiem-ll writ ten by Conrad Conner. He says that pieces of plumbago were fastened In a wooden handle and a mixture or rossu substance, sometimes covered with wodd, wns used for writing and draw ing. About half a century later a good account of this mineral was given, and It was then used In Italy for drawing and mixed with clay for manufactur ing crucibles. We are informed In Beck- man's "History of Inventions" that the pencils first used In Italy for drawing were composed of a mixture of leud and tin, nothing more than jnwter. This pencil was called a stile. Michael Angelo mentions tills stile, and. In fact. It seems that such pencils were long used in common over the whole conti nent of F.uroi?. At this period the uame plumbago or graphite w as not In use, but Instead of the name molybdena or molybdolds. w hich Is now applied to an entirely different mineral. Graphite or black lead Is formed in the United I the primary rxks. In States It occurs In felspar and quartz. In Great Britain In greenstone rock and gneiss, and In Norway In quartz. The mine at Barowdale, Kngland, has supplied some of the finest black lead In the world, but the quantity vanes, owing to the Irregularity w Ith which tbe mineral occurs. The Jews were for a while the only manufacturers of pencils. It requires great skill to ierfect the manufacture, acordlng to the degree of hardness or softness required. Of recent years the manufacture of pencils has Increased to such an extent that the price of ; tion with steam and formalin, and tho these nrtlcleH has decreased propor- j author hns found that for tho destruo tlonately.

By thus grow ing them there Is a saving of time and less dtlllcnilty with weeds. If prefer red, the onion sets may be procured of seedsmen. In fact, onion sets should now be In the ground.

The farmer, how ever, Is not usually a fruit grower (ex cept of apples), and strawberries, rasp berries and blackberries are seldom cultivated on some farms. Whether grown for market or not, such fruit should be produced on every farm by way of variety and for home use. The luxuries can be produced more easily by farmers than can tbe regular crops of grain. It takes two or three acres of wheat to buy tbe produce that can be derived from a quarter of an acre of smell fruits and vegetables. Waat Oar Pratt. Prof. W. A.
