CHAPTKU XII.
At noon a Stafford had completed hi
Task, he summoned one of the se rvanta to
ahow him to Mr. Wylle'a apartment, lie
wm most rarer to learn what hi visit
boded. Mr. Wylle was discussing an ex
cellent cold collation. The evening was
-drawing In fast : but although the weather
was very warm, a bright fire blued upon
live broad hearth.
"Ah, here yoa are, Mr. Stafford 1" cried
"Wylle. "Surprised to see me here, no
tloubt. Very seldom I get away so far
from town ; Indeed, I may say, that since
I entered my profession, I have never
teen so far away before. Our business
is o very confining so unlike yours.
Very delightful to be able to roam about
nil the lovely spots of th earth, and to
combine profit with pleasure."
Here Stafford'a Impatience broke
through all bonnd. "Kxcuse my Inter
rupting you, bnt yon told me In the pic
ture gallery that you desired to speak
with me on very Important matters. May
I Inquire what those matters are?" Un
able to hold back the thought that lay
tipon hla lips, he blurted out, "Do you
know anything about that picture In the
xallery. Mr. Wyller
"Which plcturer Inquired Sir. Wylle.
Tbe odo of Circe."
"No; I told you as before, nut you
evidently know something of It, or want
to know something of It." Mr. Wylle had
been asked the very question he had been
Gshlng for.
"Who, ir atammered Stafford, who
could have now bitten his tongue for giv
ing utteranqr to his blundering Impa
tience, lie knew sufficient of the family
affairs to be aware that Mr. Wylle was
no friend to the Grlerson; and he had.
by Ills Indiscretion, aroused In him suspi
cions of a mystery which might hereafter
work mischief to Constance. "I was only
thinking of the strange resemblance It
bore to MIsa Grlerson."
"Very strange, and to like iot, one
tn!gt 0 almost ttmpttJ o suppose IaoI
the ttt for it," answered Mr. Wylle, with
marked emphasis. "And now to bus!
new; for I can percelvo that yon are
jcrowtcg very Impatient. I have come
down here to consult with Sir Launce
about his son's marriage with my ward.
Now. Mr. Stafford. I know that there
have been certain love pisaiges between
you and that lady. Suppose, mstesd of
her marrying Arthur Penrhyddyn, I could
to bring matters about that she should
marry Edward Stafford Insteadt"
"I do not understand yoa," said Staf
ford, bewildered.
"The explanation Is simple enough," an
swered Wylle, In the same sharp, decisive
tones. "First, answer me honestly and
honorably, without disguise, I It Miss
Constance Grlerson you are In love with,
or the heiress?"
"I do not consider myself at liberty to
answer such a question." replied Stafford.
"Ah, then. It It the fortune, and not the
lady J" sneered Mr. Wylle.
"How dare you speak such words to
ineT cried Stafford, starting up, hot
with passion. "Miss Grlerson would be
the same to me were she penniless."
"That la exactly what I want to get
at," cried Mr, Wylle, rubbing his bandi
at the success of bis ruse. "Then you
-would be equally ready to ma-ry ber with
or without her fortune We will take
that for granted. Now, aa you are, doubt
less, aware, were Constance to become
jour wife, she would forfeit ber entire
fortune, with the exception of a small an
nuity; but as you are Indifferent to the
money, and only want the girl, that would
not matter to you. Get ber Into the same
way of thinking, and I will assist you
to the utmost to forward the match, and
sire you a couple of thousands to start
housekeeping. Aa to my motive In mak
ing this proposition, that Is not your con
cemv De not answer now; think over
what I have said, and give me your reply
In the morning."
Hut Stafford, who had sat motionless
daring this last speech, now rose from
Ills chair, and gave way to the Indignation
that was bolting within him; and In a
burst of passion that positively electri
fied Mr. Wylle, refused to be a party to
the bargain proposed.
"If I cannot win her without fraud and
treachery without assisting tier enemies
to rob ber of her fortune, let me never
look upon ber face again ; and should you
ver again dare to bint such a proposi
tion to me, I will chastise you upon the
tipotl"
So saying he strode out of the room,
lamming the door behind him.
Mr. Wylle bad encountered two aston
ishing phenomena that day a servant
who refused a bribe, and a lover who no
zuscd to marry for a scruple of conscience.
In all his experience be had never en
countered the like. He felt Inclined to
exclaim with Hamlet, "la doomsday
near?" He had committed two serious
errors shown his cards to two persons
who bad refused to play bis game. Hut
be trusted to tbe fertile resources of his
scheming brain to quickly redeem tbese
mistake.
"Aa to that idiot, Stafford," he mut
tered to himself, "he may change bis
mind by -the morning. Still, I am sorry
that be knows so much. What is this
ntory about Eleonore de Solssons Some
lily legenfl, I suppose; but tbey attach
great importance to such things in these
IbarfcardtM places. One can never know
toe' much, now came the picture of a
e SeWoa bete? What a strange re
Mackenzie m
semblance, tool There's a mystery here
that I must fathom." Thus, with the red
firelight glowing upon his face, and the
dark shadows of tbe night gathered round
him, did he sit planning and revolving
new schemes and combinations.
CHAPTKU XIII.
Edward Stafford did not leave Penr
hyddyn on the morning after his Inter
view with Mr. Wylle, aa he had arranged
to do. Harassed by anxious doubts and
fears, he had lain awake until daybreak;
then, worn out with mental fatigue, he
fell Into a deep slumber, from which he
lid not awake until an hour after the
ttme of tbe train starting. Upon reflec
tion, he did not regret the circumstance.
His Immediate presence In 1-ondon could
effect nothing; he might bo better em
ployed In keeping an eye upon Mr. Wy
lie's motions.
Sir Launce was surprNed to see the
guest whom be had taken leave of the
night before, and whom be thought was
by this time whirling along the Iron road
to London, enter the library ntxt morn
ing. "Sir Launce," ld Stafford, "I am
about to trespass upon your hospitality
for another day or two,"
"It you are at leisure for a moment,
Mr. Stafford, there ti a subject upon
which I would speak to you. Pray be
seated."
.Stafford took a chair, wondering what
was coming.
"You are, no doubt, aware of the Pro
posed alliance between Arthur and Mitt
Constance Grlerson. Perhaps you know
the Isdyr
"Very well," answered tbe artltt; "I
painted her portrait, and gave ber some
Instructions In water color painting."
"And Is the very high praise I have
beard of ber deserved?"
"It would be Impossible, sir, to praise
her beyond her deserts," answered Staf
ford, warmly.
"Tp the young lady I can form no pos
sible objection. I would that I could
say as much for her family more partic
ularly of that member who Is at present
honoring me with a visit. Have you ever
met him before?"
"Once or twice during my visits to
Harley street. The men It aa unscrupu
lous schemer; be on your juard against
blm."
"You have exprested my own opinion,
Mr. Stafford. I am on my guard ; and be
fore I permit the matter to proceed any
further, I shall mske a Journey to Ion
don. I am but htlf reconciled to an
union that would ally me to such a man."
Jntt then a servant entered with the
letter bag.
"Where Is Daniel this rooming?" In
quired Sir Launce.
"He had an attaek of rheumatix In tbe
night, and couldn't get out of bed this
morning," answered tbe man.
"Poor Daniel i I must go to see him.
Who went (or the letters this morning?"
"Ills grandson, Jim Starkle, Sir
Lannce," replied tbe man, hesitatingly.
"And why was that careless boy sent
upon such an errand? See here I There
Is a cut in the bag, quite largo enough to
allow of a letter passing through," ex
claimed Sir Launce, who had been empty
ing it of Its contents: "and tho letter
are crumpled and battered. Here It ow
for you, Mr. Stafford. Send Jim Starkle
to me, Immediately,"
In a few moment! a shock-beaded, mis
chievous looking boy, dressed In a fisher
man's blue guernsey, sidled Into the room,
with a most guilty expression of face.
"What have you been doing with this
bag? It la cut and probably some of the
letter lost." said Sir Launce. "You
have knocked It about In some way. Hun
back all the way you came, and look
well over the ground. If a letter has
been dropped, I have no doubt you will
find It."
In the meantime, Stafford had read his
epistle with the most delightful feeling of
satisfaction. It was from Constance ;
and although It was the briefest, It was
the pleasantest tie had yet received from
her. It ran thua:
"All is broken off between me and Ar
thur Penrbyddyn. I told him that my
heart wta already engaged; and In the
most noble manner be at once relinquish
ed bis suit.
"Yours ever,
"CONSTANCE."
"God bless him for a noble, generous
fellow l" murmured Stafford ; "and If ever
I can repay him by any sacrifice In the
world, I will do it!"
Mr. Wylle had risen at sunrlte that
morning. He walked down the narrow
footpath, beneath the foliage of the dwarf
oak and beech, through which glantwd
the red sunbeams. He passed Into the
village, and thence down upon the rocky
coast. As be returned he thought that
he would wait for tbe arrival of tbe mall
before going back to breakfast. So be
called In at the postofflee.
Presently the mall cart d-ove up with
Its epistolary burden. There were several
letters for blm, among other ware one
from his wife, and one from Fig, tbe con
fidential cJrrk, which ho attended to first.
Jim Starkle soon overtook Mr. Wylle,
and strode along, whistling, and swinging
the letter bag from side to side. The pace
at which that gentleman was walking
kept a little In the rear of tbe boy tbe
whole way through the walk.
Master Jim Indulged In various ecen
trloltles during hit progress, inch aA lous
ing tbe bag up In tbe air and catching
it, whirling It round hit head by the
string, and knocking It agnliHt tht trunks
of tlm tree. When about halt way tip
the path that led to tho Castle, spying
.a bird upon one of the lower branches
of a tree, he gathered up the unfortunate
bag Into a ball, and hurled it at the bird,
The bag lodged upon a branch just above
hit reach, and obliged him to climb the
un? M luvin II, ntiivii ill- .miij nmiTini
by much stretching and pulling After
this, he performed the rest of hit walk
somewhat more sedately.
Mr. Wylle had been a witness of all
this. A he reached the top of the path
he caught sight ut something white upon
the pathway. It was a letter. He plk
ed It up and read the addreiui: "Sir
Launce Penrhyddyn, Penrbyddyn Cattle,
near Hodmln, Cornwall."
"That was dropped out of the bag,'
he muttered, turning It over. "1 wonder
who It Is front? What I this 'A. IV In
the corner? That U Arthur Penrhyddyn ;
and In the further corner, 'Immediate.'
I wonder, now, what that letter con
tains?" And Mr. Wyllo scanned It with
his lynx eye. He put the tetter In bit
pocket, and walked slowly towards the
Castle. In deep thought.
Two hour afterwards, he agln Itsned
from the Castle to take toother stroll.
Down among the rocks he came upon a
lonely fisherman's hut. At the door, bask
ing In the warm sunshine, was an aged
man, over whose ..withered face was spread
a network of wrinkle. There was a wild,
h'alf-lnsane look In his eyet, as be sat
vacantly staring at tbe waves, and mut
tering to himself.
Mr. Wylle regarded him for a moment,
mentally observing to hlmielf. "Here It
an old teer, now, who mutt know plenty
about Penrhyddyn, If he has got the
brains left to tell It. We'll see."
So, by way of a beginning, he wished
the old man good-day and found him
quite Inclined to talk. Hy and by a bate
looking man, about sixty, and another of
about forty, who saluted the old man re
spectfully as father and grandfather,
came up and touched their aou'-wntter to
the gentlemen, and then ther fell Into
the conversation.
After about an hour and a half spent
thus, during which he sucked tbe threo
men dry of all the Information they ceulJ
give, Mr. Wylle put halt a sovereign Into
the grandfather'a hand and wished them
all good afternoon.
"Halber fortunate I came thl way,"
he muttered to himsel fas he walked
back. "So, Matter Daniel, I've learned
a great deal more than I should have
bargained with you tor, and for Jutt ten
shillings lest than I offered you. A very
strange story that. It almott makes on
believe that curses may be realised at
least, there I every probability that this
on will. Psha I absurd i A mere coinci
dence." Early next morning Mr. Wylle sent A
servant to Hodmln for a chaise to convey
blm to tbe station; and when It arrived,
took bis departure. Hut before taking his
way to tbe station he desired tbe coach
man to drive him over different parte of
tbe ettate, especially where tbe mlnei
were situated. "I will take a survey ot
my property that It to be before I leave,"
he said to himself.
Stafford remained Sir Launce' gueit.
Conttanre' letter he regarded a having
removed those scruples of honor which
had at first determined him to leave the
Castle; It bed alto removed tbe necessity
of his Immediate return to (own.
He did not give Sir Launce the slight
est Intimation of the contents of the let
ter he bad received. "Of course Arthur
himself will Immediately acquaint his
father with the state of affair. Strang
he has not doae so before!" ne thought..
Sir Launce wondered greatly when an
other day paated away without bringing
a letter from hi son. He had written
to him, however, on the previous evening.
A reply to that letter must arrivs by the
morning mall.

It la economical to feed only aa much

bonaceous material bo fed to an ani
mal tho excess will be a loss, for tbe
reason that tbe animal will aaslmtlate
and appropriate only tho actual amount
necessary for the purpo n-ulrwl by
the system and even when the fanner
feeds liberally of carbonaceous material
ho may starvo hi animal If they do
not receive nitrogenous food, for which
reason It may bo noticed that on some
farms, where the stock Is liberally pro
vided with certain kind of food, tho
animal are not thrifty, the young out
do not grow, nnd'thn farmer I aunoyvd
at the unsatisfactory result of what
he supiMses 1 good management, when
the cause 1 n lack of perhaps only a
single element, which, lu connection
with a less quantity of one of the kind
of food given, would produce n radical
change. It Is Imiiortant then, lu order
to derlvo the best results from feeding
animal, that th fanner thoroughly
understands tho quality of tlio mate
rial used. Its feeding value depend
upon the proportions of those elements
best adapted to tho purpose In view,
for unless a perfect knowledge of the
composition of feeding stuffs Is ftnlned
by tho farmer he may feed at a loss ami
derive but little benefit from his stock.
