BY WILLIAM BLACK
CHAPTER XVI. (Continued.)
Now for the moment Yolande wn
completely disconcerted. It was n point
she hnJ not foreseen; It was a point,
therefore, on which the had asked no
counsel. She hml been assured by Mr.
Lang that she hail nothing to fear In
taking away her mother from thla house
that she waa acting strictly wlthlu her
legal right. Hut how about this ques
tion of debt? OouM they really detain
her? Outwardly, however, she showed
no ajrmptom of thla Hidden doubt. She
aid to the woman with perfect calm
J) cm:
"Your Impertlnenco will be of little
use to rou. Mr mother la coins with
me. I am her guardian; If you Inter-
fero with me it will bo at your own peril.
If my mother owe you anything It will
be paid."
"How nm I to know that? Here she
In, and here aho ahall remain until ev
erything la paid. Vc are not going to bo
robbed In that way. I'll go and fetch
my husband that I will." And the next
ccond ahe had left the room and the
house, too running out Into the night
bareheaded.
"Now, mother," aald Yolande, quickly,
"now is our chance! Where are your
things? Oh, you must not think of pack
ing anything; we will aend for what you
want to-morrow. Hut do you really owe
thee people anything?"
"1 don't know," Mid her mother, who
aeemed to hare been terrified by this
threat on the part of the woman.
"Well, then, where la your hat?
where Is your shawl? Where is your
room?"
Almost mechanically she opened the
folding door that formed one side of the
apartment, disclosing beyond a bedroom.
Yolande preceded her; picked up the
things aha wanted, and helped her to put
them on.
"Come, now, mother; we will get away
before they come back. Oh, you need
not be afraid. Everything Is arranged
for you. There is a cab waiting for us
outside."
"Who Is In It?" aald the mother, draw
ing back with a gesture of fear.
"Why, no one at ail!" aald Yolande,
cheerfully. "But my maid Is just out
side, In the paasage. Come along, moth
er!" "Walt a moment, then."
She went back Into the bedroms, and
almost Instantly reappeared glancing at
Yolande with a quick, furtive look that
the girl did not understand. She under
stood after.
She took her mother by the hand and
led her aa If she were a child. In the
lobby they encountered Jane; and Jane
waa angry.
"Another minute, miss, and I would
bare turned her out by the shoulders!"
ahe said, sarageiy.
"Oh, It is all right." said Yolande,
urisKiy. "tireryming is quite rignit upen
the door, Jane, there's a good girl."
Tbey had got out from the house, and
were indeed crossing the pavement, when
the landlady again made her appear
nnce, coming hurriedly up In the company
of a man who looked like a butler out
of employment, and who was obviously
drunk. He began to hector and bully.
He interposed himself between them and
the cab.
"You ain't going away like this! You
ain't going to rob poor people like this!
You come back Into the house until we
settle this affair."
Now Yolande' only aim was to get
clear of the man and to get her mother
put Into the cab; but he stood In front
of her, whichever way she made the at
tempt; and at last he put bis hand on
Iter arm to force her back to the house.
It was an unfortunate thing for blm that
be did so. There was a sudden crash:
the man reeled back, staggered, and then
fell like a log on to the pavement; and
Yolande, bewildered by the Instantane
ous nature of the whole occurrence, only
knew that something like a black shadow
bad gone swiftly by. All this appeared
to have happened In a moment; and In
that same moment here was a policeman
In plain clothes, whom she knew by
sight.
"What a shame to strike the poor
man!" said he, to the landlady, who was
on her knees, shrieking by the side of
her husband. "Hut be ain't much hurt,
num. I'll help him Indoors, mum. I'm
a coustable, I am; I wish I knew who
dona that; I'd have the law agin him."
Aa he uttered these words of consola
tion be regarded the prostrate man with
perfect equanimity; and a glance over bis
shoulder Informed him that, in the con
fusion, Yolande and her mother and the
maid had got Into the cab and driven
off. Then he proceeded to raise the
etupefied ex-butler, who certainly had
received a "facer"; but who presently
cam to himself as near as the fumes of
rum would allow. Nay, he helped, or
rather steadied, the man Into the bouse;
and assured the excited landlady that tbs
law would find out who bad committed
thla outrage; but he refused the offer of
a glass of something, on the plea that
lie was on duty. Then ha took down the
number of the house In bis notebook and
left. As be walked along the street he
was suddenly accosted by the tall, broad
shouldered young man who had disap
peared Into the narrow entry.
"Why weren't you up In time?" said
the tatter, angrily.
"You was bo quick!
"Is that drunken idiot hurt?"
"Well, air, be may 'ave a black eye
In the morning maybe a pair on 'em.
Hut 'taln't no matter. He'll think he
run agin a lamp post."
"When you saw that drunken brute
seize hold of the young lady's arm, you
should have been there on the spot
on the Instant "
"You was so quick, and the man went
over like a nlnepln "
"Well, the affair is satisfactory as it
stands," said the younger and taller
man; "and I am well satisfied."
CIIAPTHH XVII.
DesDlts all ber hurrying, Yolande did
not manage to get away from London
on the day following; It was not until
early the next morning that she and her
mother and the maid found themselves, In
the train, and the great city left behind
for good. The weather was brilliant
and shining around them, nnd the au-tumn-tlutcd
woods were glorious in color.
To these, or any other passing object,
Yolande, In her capacity of guardian,
drew cheerful attention, treating the
Journey, Indeed, as a very ordinary ev
eryday affair; but the sad-eyed mother
seemed hardly capable of regnrdlng any
thing but her daughter and that some
times with a little bit of stealthy cry
lug. "Ah," she said In those strangely hol
lowed tones, "It Is kind of you to come
and let me see you for a little while."
"A little while? What little while,
then?" said Yolande, with a stare.
"Until I go back, awny from you,"
said the mother, regarding the girl with
au affectionate and yet wistful look. "It
was In a dream that I came away from
the house with you. ion seemed call
ing me in a dream. Hut now I am be
ginning to wake. At the station ther
were two ladles; I saw them looking nt
us, and I knew what they were think
ing. They were wondering to see n Ikhiii
tlful young life like yours linked to a
life like mine; nnd they were right. 1
could see It In their eyes."
'They would have been better employ
ed In minding their own business!" said
Yolande, angrily.
The mother seemed more and more fas.
clnated by the society of her daughter:
and appeared quite absorbed In regnrd
lng the bright, young, fresh face, nud In
listening with a strange curiosity for the
slight traces of a foreign accent that re
mained In Yolande's talking. As for the
girl herself, she bore herself In the most
matter-of-fact way. She would have no
sentiment Interfere. And nlwnys It was
assumed that her mother was merely an
invalid wnom the sea air would restore t.
health; not a word was said as to the
cause of her present condition.
Worthing looked bright and cheerful
on thts breezy forenoon. The wind
swept yellow-gray sea was struck a
gleaming silver here or there with Hoods
of sunlight; the morning promenadeis
had not yet gone In to lunch; a band
was playing at the end of the pier. When
they got to the rooms, they found that
every preparation had been made to re
ceive them; and In the bay-window they
discovered a large telescope which the
little old lady said she had borrowed
from a neighbor whose rooms were un
let. Yolande managed everything Jane
being a helpless kind of creature; and
the mother submitted, occasionally with
a touch of amusement appearing In her
manner. Hut usually she was rather
sad; and her eyes had an absent look In
them.
That same afternoon ther went for a
urive along some of tho Inland country
lanes; and as they soon found that the
stolid, fat, and placid pony could safely
bo left under the charge of Jane, they
got out whenever they had a mind, to
look at an old church or to explore banks
and hedge rows, In search of wild Dow
ers. Now, this Idle strolling, with occa
sional scrambling across ditches, was
light enough work for one who was ac
customed to climb tho hills of Allt-nam-ba;
but no doubt It was fatiguing enough
to this poor woman, who, nevertheless,
did her very best to prove herself a cheer
ful companion. Hut It was on this fa
tigue that Yolande reckoned. That was
why she wanted her mother to be out all
day In the sea air and the country air.
What she was aiming at was a certainty
of sleep for this Invalid of whom sh-t
was in charge. And so she cheered her
on to further exertion; and pretended
an eagerness in this search for wild flow
ers, which was not very real (for ever
In the midst of It, some stray plant here
or there would remind her of a herba
rium far away and of other days and
other scenes); until at last she thought
they had both done their duty; and so
tbey got Into the little carriage ngalu
and drove back to Worthing.
That evening at dinner she amused her
mother with a long and minute account
of the voyage to Kgypt. and of the
friends who had gone with them, and
of the life on board the dahabeeah. The
mother seemed peculiarly Interested
about Mr. Leslie; and asked many ques
tions about mm, ana xolande told her
frankly how pleasant and agreeable a
young fellow he was, and how well he
and his sister seemed to understand each
other, and so forth. She betrayed no
embarrassment In expressing her liking
for him; although, In truth, she spoke
in pretty much the same terms of Col.
Uraham.
"Mr. Leslie was not married, then?"
"Oh, no."
"It was rather a dangerous situation
for two young people," the mother aald,
with a gentle. smile. "It Is a wonder you
are not wearing a ring now."
"What ring?" Yolande said, with a
quick flush of color.
"An engagement ring,"
In fact, the girl was not wearing an
engagement ring. On coming to London
she had taken It off and put It awar:
other duties claimed her now that was
what she said to herself. And now she
was content that her mother should re
main In Ignorance of that portion of her
past history.
"I have other things to attend to." she
said, briefly, and the subject was not
continued.
That day paMed very successfully. The
mother had shown not the slightest symp
tom of any craving for either stimulant
or narcotic; nor any growing depression
in consequence of being deprived of these
though Jack Melville had warned Yo
lande that both were probable. No; the
languor from which she suffered appear
ed to be merely the languor of 111 health,
and, so far from becoming more depress
ed, she bad rather become more cheerful
especially when they were wandering
along the lanes in search of wild flowers,
Moreover, when she went to bed ahe verr
speedily fell Into a sound, quiet sleep.
Yolande lay awake, watching 'her; but
everything aeemed right; and so by mil
by tho girl's mind began to wnudcr nwn)
to distant scenes nud to pictures that she
had been trying to banish from her eyes.
And If sometimes In this hushed room
sho cried silently to herself, and hid
her face In the pillow so that no sob
should awnken the sleeping mother?
Well, perhaps that was only n natural re
action, Tho strain of all that forced
cheerfulness had been terrible. Once or
twice during the evening she had had to
speak of the Highlands; nnd the effort
on such occnslons to shut out certain rec
ollections and rain regrets nud self-abasements
was of Itself a hard thing. And
now that the strain was over, her Imag
ination ran riot; all the old life up ther,
with its nornler and delight nnd Its un
known pitfalls, enme back to her.
What was there but n woman's tears
ami a lifelong regret? Thnt was a sad
night. It was not the mother, It was
the daughter, who passed the long sleep
less hours In suffering. Hut with the
morning Yvdande hnd pulled herself to
gether again. She was only a little pal
that was all. She was as cheerful, as
brave, as high spirited as ever. When
did the band play? they would walk
out on the pier. Hut even Jane could
see that this was not the Yolande who
hnd lived nt Allt-nam-ba with a kind
of sunlight always on her face; nud
she wondered.
CHAI'TKU XVIII.
Another two days passed, Yolande div
ing her best to make the time go by
briskly and pleasantly. They walked
on the promenade or the pier; they drove
nwny Inland, through quaint little vil
lages and quiet limes; when the weather
was wet they stayed Indoors, nnd she
rend to her mother; or they rigged up
the big telescope In the bay window, to
follow the slow progress of the distant
ships. And the strnnge thing wns thnt as
Yolande gradually perceived, her moth
er s Intellect seemed to grow clenrer and
clearer while her spirits grew more de
pressed. "I have been In a dream I hnve been
In n dream." she used to say. "1 will
try not to go tack. Yolande. you must
help me. You must give me your baud."
"You have been III. mother; the sea air
will make you strong again," the girt
said, mnklng no reference to other mat
ters. However, that studied silence did tint
last. On the evening of the tlflh day
of their stay nt Worthing, Yolande ob
served that her mother seemed still more
depressed and aluutst suffering; and she
did all she could to dlstrnct her atten
tion and iuii ii e her. At Inst the poor
woman said, looking at her daughter In
a curious kind of way:
"Yolande. did you notice, when 1 canto
away trom the house with you, thnt I
went lark for a moment Into my room?"
"Yes, I remember you did."
"I will tell you now why I went
back."
She put her hand Into her icket and
drew out n small blue bottle, which she
put on the table.
"It was for that," she said, calmly.
A flush of color overspread the hither
to pale features of the girl; It was she
who was ashamed and embarrassed; nud
she said quickly:
"Yes, I understand, mother I know
what It Is but now you will put It away
-you do not want It any longer"
"I nm afraid," the mother said. In a
low voice. "Sometimes I have tried, un
til It seemed as If I was dying; nud that
has brought me to life again. Oh, I
hope I shall never touch It again I want
to be with you, walking by your side
among other people and like them -like
every ono else"
"And so you shall, mother," Yolnude
said; and she rose and gut hold of the
bottle. "I nm going to throw this
nway."
"No, no, Yolande, give It to me," she
sab), but without any excitement. "It
Is no use throwing It nway. Thnt would
make me think of It. I would get more.
I could not rest until I had gone to a
chemist's and got more perhaps some
time when you were not looking. Hut
when It Is there, I feel safe. I can put
It away from me."

A GENUINE BARGAIN.
The author of Canadian Savage
Folk" Iihh much to tell of Indian life
and character before tho savugu linil
come In coiituct witli civilization. Thin
Information U of the greater Interest
because no few of the tribes are left
who have not come under the Influence
of white teaching nud example.
Anxious to leant all I could about
the tnarrlugo customs of the people,
says the author, I asked ono of my
friends, "How many wives have you?"
"Three," said lie.
"How did you get them?"
"Well, I gavo n horse for the first
one. Hho wns not very good-looking,
so I got tier for one horse. The sec
ond one was good-looking anil n good
rook, so I paid two horses for her.
The third was a beauty. She was
good cook nnd she hnd a flue disposi
tion; I gavo three horses nnd n gun
nnd a saddle for her. She was a
beauty!"
After narra this In n business
like fashion, lie turned to me mid said,
"Apawakas, how many horses did you
pay for her?"
"Apawakas" Is the Indian name of
my wife. It means White Antelope.
I wns rather taken aback to have tho
tables turned upon mo so quickly, but
determined to make the best of the
situation, so I proceeded to tell the In
dian the white mmi'H method of ob
taining a wife.
Afterward the explanation wne
given of setting up housekeeping, and
I told him that the mother-lu-lnw pro
vided pillows, blankets, and many of
tho necessary things for tho Jioiiho.
When this point wns reached the red
men could not restrain their laughter
any longer. They shook with amuse
ment nt the strange customs of tho
white men. After they wcro ablo to
control themselves, ono of them said,
"Tbey paid you for taking lier!"
The narrow soul knows not tho god-
" 'ry of forgiving. Howe.

If tsetj farm owner would look up
on his farm as the merchant does upon
his stock of goods, as something to be
Improved as his business grown, farm
values would Increase wonderfully
fust. If the average farm will do no
more for Ita owner than feed his fam
ily and furnish him money for taxes
and scant clothing there Is something
wrong with tho farm or the farmer.
Of course, there are seasons when this
Is all that may be got out of a year of
farm work, but It ought not to continue
from year to year; If It does there Is,
as we have said, something wrong.
If the farm Is running down, If the
stock Is deteriorating Instead of Im
proving, If the buildings remain tin
painted year after year and If the crops
oro growing smaller Instead of larger,
then wo are not keeping up our salable
stock and enlarging It, and our farm
value Is growing less Instead of great
er. Too many of us are farming now
adays bocause wo havo to, becaimo we
know no other business. If wo would
use tho same energy, tho same brains
and havo the same liopofiitness and
faith In our business that tho merchant
has In his we would tint! a way of
making tho business grow or wo would

Using Orren Cut Hone.
If one who raises poultry desires
eggs, tho feeding of cut bone Is essen
tial not that the hens will not lay
without the cut bone, but that they
will lay so much better, that the small
expense of the Imiiio nud the mill tu
cut It ought not to enter Into the cal
culation. Cut Ume furnishes nu nt
most complete egg-mnkliig element,
while several kinds of grain nre re
quired lo obtain the same elements
Hone mills are small In price, the suinlt
er ones being easily operated by hand.
The cost of the fresh hones at the
butcher's Is also small, and ns a pound
of cut bone a day for each dozen or
fifteen hens Is sulllrlcut, one can see
the expense Is merely nomlnnl.

New Potatoes Prom (lid.
Certain English potato buyers wero
surprised at tho abundance of new
potatoes on tho market extremely early
In tho season, also at the toughness of

found that the tricky producers had
burled some old potatoes In tho soil
for some time, thus freshening them
up and Improving their complexion, so
that they were able to pass for now
