"Are you IrUhT You don't mind my
Baking? Borne people don't like the
Irish; I delight In them. My father's
great friend U an old general, a deat
old thing Sir Patrick Desmond; Is he
any relatlva of yoursP
"1 have heard of htm, but It he ! In
any way connected with me It It to
distant that I cannot 'call cousins
with him."
"If he comes down to the Court
while you are here, I will ask you to
meet him. Then you are Irish? And
I am sure you sing and playt"
"I play a little."
'That Is delightful. You can play
an accompaniment? I can't bear play
ing; and 1 want to try some duets
with George Luraley to-night."
"I will do my best," said Hop.
"Don't you think George Lumley
very good-looking? He Is very good
style, too, and so like Lord Everton. I
am rather glad he Is at Hounslow.
This place Is too far, and yet too near,
to be amusing" She chattered on till
the gentlemen came to seek them In
their fragrant retreat, when Miss Da
ere ceased to bestow attention or
words on Hope. They soon adjourned
to the larger drawing room, where the
singers discovered that Miss Desmond
had quite a genius for playing accom
panlments, and time flew fast till the
carriages were announced.
"Where In the world did you find
that nice Miss Desmond. Mrs. Savllle?"
exclaimed Miss Dacre. "She Is so quiet
and well bred. Lots to say, too. Do
bring her over to the Court She could
be of Infinite use to me In playing ac
companiments." "Very likely; but, you see, I engaged
her to be of use to me."
"To be sure," laughed the thought
less girl. "How frightfully sharp you
arel" And ahe blew her hostess a
kiss aa she left the room.
"What a glorious night!" said Lum
ley, with a sigh of relief, sinking on
aa ottoman beside Hope. "Couldn't
you manage to come out for a stroll
before saying good-night finally J"
Hope looked at him for a moment
gravely, then a smile began In het
yes and sparkled on "lip and cheek.'
"Yea, It could be easily managed, ac
cording to novel-regulations," she said
"I escort my kind patroness to her
room, receive her blessing, and return
to my own, then I throw a mantilla
over my beautiful locks, steal down to
the garden door, which Is of course left
open, and Join you In the moonlit
shrubbery."
"Precisely," said I.umley, laughing
"It's a lovely picture. I earnestly hope
jou will realize It"
"A moonlight atrotl Is a harmless
amusement nnder certain conditions,
which do not exist at present for me,'
and ahe went away to bid good-night to
the vlcaress and see that she was
trapped up, Then, meeting Mrs. 8a
vllle on her way up-stalrs, she accom
panled her to her bedroom, rang for
her maid, and exchanged a few wordi
with her until that functionary ap
peared. "I am woefully tired," said Mrs. Sa
vllle, throwing herself Into a low chair
'Keally, life Is too wearisome In Its
disappointing sameness. If Itlchard
will Invite these stupid chattering
toys, I shall dine In my own room
JIary Dacre la sillier than ahe used to
"be, and Mr. Ilawson writes that he
cannot come down till the Sunday
after next. We must begin 'Promenl
Jeune' to-morrow, Miss Desmond, and
get away aa much as we can from the
present"
"I shall be very pleased. It Is con
aldered one of Daudet's best; and I
have never read It"
When Hope Desmond reached bet
wn room she undressed rapidly, and
putting out the candles, brushed hei
long hair by the moonlight, while she
thought earnestly, "How disappointing
f Mr. Ilawson! I hoped he would be
here next Sunday; and I have so much
to say to him. True, I can write; but
'a few spoken words face to face are
worth a dozen letters. It will not be
asy to get blm to myself, but m my
wu especial friend I have a right to
Semand an Interview, How weary
that poor woman 1st and far from
well. Poor and nearly friendless aa I
am, I would not change with her. No,
no; I understand life better than she
toes, though ahe has lived so much
longer How her heart must ache when
the thinks of her son I Under all her
aardaea and pride she yearns for the
love she does not know how to win.
If she will only love me!" Then ahe
twisted up her hair, and. throwing
herself on her knees, prayed long and
fervently, with tightly-clasped hands,
while Jean streamed unheeded from
the eyes that less than an hour ago
nad smiled so saucily on Captain I.um
-vy.
"The two months have nearly ex
plred," she mused, when, having risen,
she leaned against the window-frame
and looked out on the moonlit lawn.
"Out I am quite sure she will not send
me away, 1 do not want to go tmu;
strangers agatn. It Is awful to have
no home. Uut with practice, with the
effort to seem brave, courage comes."
Taking some relic sewn up In a lit
tle silk bag and hung round her neck
by a thin chain of Indian gold, she
kissed It lovingly and lay down to
rest.
For the next couple of days Mrs. Sa
vllle Instituted a severe heulache and
shut herself up with Miss Desmond In
her own special morning room, leaving
her son and his guest to entertain
each other. The third day Hope went
out for a short stroll, as Mrs. Savllle
evidently did not want her company
In a visit she went to pay at the
Court
She had not gone far when she was
overtaken by George Lumley, who Im
mediately began to condole wtth hei
on what he was pleased to term her
"false Imprisonment" She tslked with
htm gayly enough, but always with
what he chose to term "a tinge of In
dulgence" In her manner, and then
turned homeward sooner than she
would otherwise have done.
"I must bid you-good-by I am go
ing back to my quarters thta evening,'
he said, "nut I shall be at the Court
next week. I do hope you'll come and
help us In those duets. Miss Dacre
has planned no end of practising."
"I shall be glad to help you If I
may."
"How submissive you are! You must
have an awfully dull time of It"
"I do not feel dull. Mrs. Savllle Is
a very Intelligent woman, and, aa we
differ on every subject, we have abund
ance of Interesting conversation."
"I should think so. Do you ever con
vert her?"
"I am afraid not; but I may make
a little Impression; constant dropping,
you know, effects something. I want
to convert her to the belief that man
does not live by bread alone."
"I see; that he wants the sugar
plums of true love. How tame and
flat live Is without them! I think I
understand; that Jolly old boy Raw
son has put you here to be Hugh's ad
vocate." "Uy no means. He recommended me
as a suitable person to act as reader
and amanuensis to your aunt, and I
hope to do him credit."
"Do you know you puzzle me Im
mensely?" "A little mental exercise will do yon
good."
"Mental exercise! you give my mind
plenty to do. You are never out of
my thoughts."
"Good-morning, Captain Lumley,"
said Miss Desmond, with great com
posure. "I shall go In by the side
door." And she turned down a nar
row path which led to a private en
trance at the foot of the stair com
municating with a wing which con
tained Mrs. Savllle's rooms.
Lumley stood for a moment uncer
tain what to do. He dared not &Ilow
her, and he was reluctant to confess
himself checkmated. Hs generally
placid fare grew set and stormy.
"What a provoking womanl She
treats me as If I were a mere school
boy, whom she could play with In safe
ty. It Is no longer play to me; It
shall not be play to her, I never was
treated In this way before; and there
Is an odd sort of liking for me under II
all. What speaking eyes she has! I
have seen dozens of handsomer wom
en, but there's a sort of fascination
about her, I will not let her foil me.'
He walked rapidly away to the lonely
recesses of the wood, more disturbed
and resolute than be had ever felt In
his self-Indulged life.
The Sunday but one after this Inter
view, Mr. Kawson came down In time
for church, Mrs. Savllle chose to stay
at home. The service was short, for
the vicar did not think U necessary tq
give a sermon every week. When It
was over, there was a gathering of
noignoors, and greetings outside thi
porch,
"I wish )ou would como back to
luncheon, Miss DchiuoihI," said Miss
Dacro. "You might, as Mrs. Savllle Is
not here. ImtA Hverlon enmo rather
unexpectedly last night, and I am sure
you would like htm. He has been ask
lug If you nro still alive."
"I am very sorry I cannot assure
him personally of my safety; but I
cannot absent myself In this uncere
monious manner. Then I hne my
friend Mr. Ilawson here."
"What a nuisance' I am coming
over after luncheon to nsk for assist
ance In getting up n concert to collect
funds for a uew school-house; so, till
this afternoon, adieu." She stepped
Into her pony-carriage, attended by
Itlchard Savllle, and drove away.
'As we have plenty of time, I will
take you by a little longer way back,
Mr Ilawson." said Hone,
"I place myself In your hands, mv
dear young lady." As they started,
Lumley, who had stood aside till Miss
Dacre drore off. Joined them, and for
a short way the conversation was
chiefly between him and the family
lawyer.
Lumley had been exceedingly nice
and respectful whenever he had met
Hope Desmond during the last week,
consequently they had been the best
of friends, and the captain flattered
himself he was making prodigious
strides. Arriving at a bend of the
vu wurre a turnstile admitted to a
pathway leading across a field and Into
Mrs. 8avlIIe's woods. Miss Desmond
paused, and said "Good morning" very
decidedly.
"Mr Ilawson Is good enough to be
my guardian, and I claim the right to
bore him with my affairs whenever I
can."
"I understand." said the gallant hux
sar. good-humoredly, and stopped with
a bow.
"That stroke was well played." said
Mr Ilawson when they had got clear
of the gate. "I want to say and to
her a good deal, and the youth la per
severing."
"Is he so young?" asked Hope. "I
thought him an amusing boy, but I be
gin to see he Is older than I Imag
Ined."
"He will never see twenty-seven
again. Hut to business. I am glad to
see you get on so well with Mrs. 8a
vllle. I thought you would."
"Yes, better than I expected. It was
terribly nervous work at first Firm
ness and courage are Indispensable;
the slightest appearance of the white
feather, and she would almost uncon
sciously crush you. It Is not easy to
Impress her gently and politely with
a sense of one's complete Independ
ence; but this Is essential. The tyrsn
nlcal tendencies In her have been tre
mendously developed by circumstances
and training; but I really believe It Is
a relief to her to And a companion
who neither quarrels nor cringes; sht
breathes a freer air, her mind Is more
healthily exercised. I never conceal
an opinion, and I try to be as true aa
possible, and to defend my views as
temperately aa I can. I also try to
give her the Impression that she Is on
trial as well as myself."
"That Is a dangerous game; but you
may succeed. The day after to-mor
row completes your two months. I
suspect she would be sorry If you left.
Tell me. have you had a chance of
putting In a word for the poor prodi
gal r
Hope shook her bead. "It is too soon
to attempt It," ahe sard.
"Now sit down here on this fallen
tree; for I have a long story to tell
you."

The barn herewith Illustrated will
be found aultablo for a medium-sited
farm on which eight or ten milk cow
are kept. It has a, floor space of 3S by
t feet, exclusive of tho milk room.
Tho studs should be 13 to II feot long.
The Interior la divided ns shown on
tho floor plan The silo Is 12xJS feet,
with n 5-foot pit which may be of
stone or cement The silo as shown
Is connected to the feed room by a
tXTraioH tew or tusx,
4x4-fiot chute. This should extend the
entire length of silo and have small
window both at the top and bottom.
The hay chute la 6x5 feet square and
has door at the floor lino for forking
out hay The chute Is of sufficient alio
for feeding stock If barn Is full. The
silo and hay chute are boarded up
tight to prevent dust, dirt or odors
from entering the cow barn. The loft
floor should be made tight for the
same reason, and If made double with
tar paper between It will bo better.
The construction of the calf and
bull pens, also the box stall, should be
such that the animals may rnidlly see
the other animals In the barn. They
enjoy company aa well aa human be

such that one attendant can feed and
care for the stock, tn'a short time; n
point not to bo overlooked In this day
of high-priced labor. An 8 or 10-foot
opening should be left In the loft floor
over the driveway for passing up hay,

and mixed In the feed room. The
driveway, also the space between the
feed room and cow stalls, may be used
a portion of the year for tools or a
wagon. The floor above the drive
way should be 11 or 13 feet high; the
floors over the pens and cow stalls
should be 7 feet high, and those over
the box stall and horse stalls should

The Farmers' Club or the American
Institute use Issued the following
rule for forecasting tho weather;
1. The wind never blows unless
rain or snow is falling within 100
miles of you.
2. When cirrus clouds are rapidly
moving from the north or northeast
there will be rain Inside or twenty-
four hours, no matter how cold It Is.
3. Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather to a re
gion where a storm Is forming.
4, When tho temperature suddenly
falls there I a storm forming south or
you.
C, When the temperature suddenly
rises there Is a storm forming north or
you.
8. Cirrus clouds always movo from
a region whero a storm is In progress
to a region of fair weathor.
7. When cirrus clouds are rapidly
moving from tho south or southeast
there will be a cold rainstorm on the
morrow, if It Is In summer; If It Is In
winter, thero will bo a snowstorm.
8. Whenover heavy, whlto frost oc
