(THE CHARITY GH2L? I By Cf FIE A. ROWLANDS I CUAPTEfl XIV (Continued.) Dr. MUin'i hopeful prognostlce--tloai were fulfilled. Jack Glendurwood awoke fttr that long, beery sleep dif ferent being. It u evening when the clumber left him, and at one bla pn went round the room to March of that lovely girlish fare that had haunted hia dreams ao delightfully. "Audrey P ha whispered, faintly, and orae one eame hurriedly out of the duak ad knelt beside the bed. They aaid no word, only bla hand clasped Itaelf round her two little ones, nd he lay gaalng at har sweet eyeo aa though' they were heaven Itself. "Now you hare turned the corner, and re going on well, I an going to look Iter your wife. Lord John, Dr. Ben tance aaid, cheerily. "My Wife I" What world of caution to tenderness, even though It wn whis pered and not spoken, rang In those two little words! Audrey's heart thrilled. "Nlie must rest; she Is young, and needs plenty of sleep, and she has been fretting ever you In most terrible fash Ion. Come, Lady John, you ran leare bla lordship with light heart, for be could not possibly be better. The best nurse, absolutely the best nurse I hare ever had, Irs. rraeerl" be declared, pleasantly. Shells Fraser did not return to Din glewood, Dr did she vouchsafe to corre spond with her stepmother. She remain ed on In London, victim to the moat bitter disappointment and mortification. for nearly two minutes Sheila and Beverley were struck speechless as Lady Daleawater rushed in with bar bad news. The girl had turned ashen white, and Beverley's handa clinched themselves In voluntarily. Lady Daleawater recovered herself first. "Who la this gentleman T she asked eoldly, feeling annoyed that she had be trayed her family affairs before com' Ilete stranger. Beverley answered her at once. "I am man to whom thla Intelll genes la more painful than you can pos sibly Imagine, Lady Daleawater. an wered Beverley. "Mr. Beverley Booh fort means that he Is madly In lore with thia girl, who baa flung herself at your brother's bead. aid Sheila sullenly. "It will be better to explain everything to you, dear Lady Daleawater." The countess listened attentively; ahs waa so deeply enraged with her mother, biothrr and the poor Innocent little crea ture who had allied herself to the ducal family, that every nerve thrilled to be able to seise upon something, however faint, that might be worked upon to bring about an annulment of thia odious mar riage. She uttered sharp exclamation; It almost sounded like joy as shs listened. "All Is not ao bad." .he cried. "Sheila, don't you understand? Mr. Rochfort, aa this creature's guardian, cannot only object to the marriage, but, according to the letter of the bond he holds, can In 1st on the girl living where be wishes. Mr. Rochfort, that piece of paper must be In my lawyers' hsnds to-night; and ' unless I am very much mistaken, they will ratify what I aay that you will bare absolute and entire control ovar the girt."

"If that course falls, aa fail It must, for wa have not leg to aland Upon, I don't think I shall be very disheartened. My wits bars nev r failed ma yet, and my day will comet' It waa quite nine o'clock and the earl had just returned from Mountberry, and had poured aa account of what bad oc curred between himself and the duchess Into hia wlfa'a ears. Lady Daleawater waa simply furious with resentment gainst her mother, but aha did not dis cuss the matter further aa Sheila cams In, The legal adviaera of the earl and countess had answered her ladyship's nasty summons promptly, and all they waited for waa Beverley Rochfort to ap pear. Just when conversation on the vexed and important question waa In full awing. a not waa brought In and handed to the countess. She read It through, and grew white to the lips with mortification. "Mr. Rochfort baa deserted us and gone ver to the enemy, aba aaid, curtly, and then aha handed the letter to her huaband nd bid him read It aloud. Beverley wrote very clearly and briefly. He had already consulted hia lawyer, who had told him promptly that any question of annulling the marriage waa as Impossible as absurd ; therefore ha beg' ged Lady Daleawater to accept his de cided refusal to join her In thia matter, "I am sure when you are leas, and, I may say, Justly, Incensed at this mar riage," be wrote, "you will sea that aa a man of honor I ran do nothing but thla, for were I to enforce my guardianship, I must rob I.dy John Ulendurwood of the large fortune which wss bequeathed her by Mr. Re-Wick Anatruther on his death bed.

Toor, sweet, young Audrey, how little did aha know the storm clouds that were fathering over her clouds born of Jndaa- lika treachery, envious hate, mean spite, degraded passion, and other aril human motives. reiterated her vows of never-endin love. but somehow Jean's letters pained her ana leu a sort of discomfort. Jean, In fact, waa alarmed at all that had happened to her whilom friend, and now that Audrey waa a grand married lady aha waa separated from her humble childhood's companion by a social chasm they eeuld never bridge over; therefore Jeaa wrote timidly and with much con straint, and both girla aighed ovar the simple yet atrong friendship which had lived ana now waa ended. March having coma in lika lamb. waa going out in the moat approved leoo Ino fashion. How the wind blew, and bow dreary the gray akiea looked above tne tossing trees. "Wa shall have a fall of enow, depend upon it that la what is coming," declar ed Dr. Sentance. "Take my advice, Lord John, fold yourself up in as many ruga as you can find, and flea away south to tna aun and the warm breesee." "Where ought I to go!" ha asked. wearily. "Well, I thluk Florence would be an excellent apot. Suit both har ladyship and yourself. "I I am quits aura that Aud my wife will never consent to thia arrangement. "I'ray, why not!"

It strikes ma that yon are a very foolish young man. Lord John, If you imagine your young wifa doean t care an thing about you, and aa to her not coming to see you, well, I think If you reflect a little you will agree with me that so young a girl la apt to be ahy and modest. Modesty is so rsre nowadays, my lord, I would not try to do without It If I were you. The young man's cheeka were quite healthy In color. "I dare aay I am a fool, but I have been worrying myaelt that, perhaps, Au drey had married me only out of pity, when aba thought I waa dying and "And a lot more nonsense of the same sort, of course," broke In the old doctor, cheerily, bis eyes twinkling aa be spoke. "You don't- seem to realise, my lord, that you are the hero of a romance. It la not every one who can boast of such a marriage as yours, but, though romance baa Ita pleaaant poiata, it also haa Ita diaagreeable onea, and unless I am very much mistaken, that sweet little maiden will be aver so much happier when aha la reacued from the curious and carried away for a time by her husband." Jack Glendurwood nearly shook Dr Sentence a band off. "What an Idiot I am !' ha exclaimed. "Most lovers are," waa the dry reply. "And you will take my advice about thla foreign trip!" "I will go and find my my wife thla very moment, and if aha agrees wa will eta it at ones." There was no aeed to let Audrey know how Sheila had behaved, for Mrs. rraser would go to Cronberg with the Iucbeea of Harborougs. and would la all probability reside abroad fur a few montna. Audrey exclaimed with pleasure as tney drove Into the pretty grounda at Ilurlingbam, and waa so lost In gsilng at them that aha waa quite unconscious of the sensation her amies ranee waa causing the crowd of fashionables. Of course, they had dona nothing but discuss the John Ulendurwood marriage, and now the night of the young man's handsome and well k no .r face revived the curi osity and gossip afresh. "Jack Oleadurwood la here with hia wlfet Have you seen them! What la she like! A nurse girl, waaat she! Of course aha la awful!

"I see our mothers," aaid Audrey, turn Ing to her husband. , "Come along, wa will go to them," re turned Jack, who could scarcely conceal a amile aa he read the utter amassment and admiration written on nearly every face. Audrey walked through the crowd qulta easily. The strains of ths band aonnded pleasantly In her ears, and aha amiled aeroaa to where ber mother sat waiting for her to come. The duchess bent toward Conatanca Fraser. "My dear," ahe aaid, warmly and ten derly, "the child has conquered already, She la perfect; look at her walk, at her carriage. Why, there is scarcely a wom an here who can hold herself tike Audrey does. . I am proud of her I" Lady Daleawater waa atandlng some distance away from where her mother waa Ittir.g. The rupture between them was open gossip, ao neither took any precau tions about guarding aralnst remarka on the fact of their not speaking. Sheila Fraser was with the countess; In fact, she waa ataying with the Dales- waters.

A new substitute for rubber baa been found and If claims of the In ventor prove to be well founded there 111 be motor cars aud bicycles with tire made of wheat, golf bulls that once were kernels of maize, pavements of barley and Uuolcuin that might have been rye bread. British patent office records show that some 300 Inventions of substitutes bare been filed, not one of which bai attained success. The new claimant Is William Thred- fall Carr of Wembley. He purposes to make artificial rubber from cereals. It Is aaid that a syndicate of capital ists Interested In tire manufacturing baa offered him i 1,200,000 for bis pat ent rights. The Invention of artificial rubber was prophesied at the recent meeting of the British Association and the In dustrial world baa been eager for It ever since the motor enr and bicycle trades threatened to exhaust the sup ply of the natural article. Mr. Carr's substitute Is obtained by treating any cereal with phyalln, a well known chemical substance that acts lu solution as a ferment, turning the starchy matter In grain Into dex troae. Another chemical Is used In the process to check the fermentation at any dealred stnge. This makes It pos sible to produce the srtificlal rubber In several different strengths. The Inventor proposes to make the substance In six grades, from a liquid solution suitable for waterproofing to a hardness suitable for golf ball. In which It Is said to possess the light ness of cork and the toughness of chilled steel. Iu other grades It will be serviceable for tires, tubes, linole um work and slabs or iihects for block pavement Mr. Carr Intends to visit Canada and other graln-produc-lna- countries for the punxse of arranging for sup plies of cereals lu quantities sufficient to cope with the operations contemplat ed.

There Is a right way to use esrly rye, however, and that ts to allow stock on the rye field but a short time each day at first, and then gradu ally extend the period of grazing.

Both rye and crlmaon clover will be ready for use In a abort time, and they 111 always prove profitable crops to those who keep stock, as they shorten the dry-feeding period of winter.
