NLY A FARMER'S j DAUGHTER, I By MRS. FORRESTER. CHAPTER XV.MContlnued.) Within few weeks of the close of the season a very beautiful Frenchwoman nmi to London, and was received at once into the best society. Her story was strange one, and one that excited a great deal of interest. She had been married at fifteen to a Russian prince, many years older than herself, and of dissolute character. At first he had loved her passionately; then, as he found it impossible to overcome her coldness and indifference, he had come to dislike and treat her with harshness. He had taken her away to Russia very young, very friendless, and intensely unhappy. There he had neglected her. She had two chil drenboys; and all her love seemed bound up in them. Then tbey died; the f Ttimii killed them, and she al most died of the grief. The physician at St. Petersburg insist ed that she should return at once to Paris. "It is the only way to save her life," he said to her husband. So after three years' weary absence, she return ed to her birthplace, and there, after a time, she recovered. At the French court she was greatly admired and sought for. A young man of high rank con ceived a wild passion for her. He wns ao handsome, so distinguished, no one be lieved she could resist the devotion he constantly and ao openly offered her. It could scarcely be affirmed that she was utterly unmoved by his passion, but all the world said that she never gave him any undue encouragement. Still, Prince Zelikod became jealous. One evening the princess dropped her bouquet; Monsieur de Ligny picked it up, bowed over it, and returned it to her. Prince Zelikoff chose to Imagine the accident was prearranged, and that De Ligny had taken the oppor tunity of concealing a note among the flowers. He snatched the bouquet vio lently from his wife's hands. In her sur prise she made some resistance; he grasp ed her arm and pressed the sharp-pointed diamond bracelet unintentionally into the flesh. A little jet of blood spurted forth. The enraged De Ligny beheld it, and in moment Prince Zelikoff lay stunned and bleeding on the ground. A crowd closed rnun A them at once: with some difficulty the angry men were separated, but, of course, only blood could wipe out suen a tain. A meeting was arranged; the sec onds made the customary formal at tempts at reconciliation without success. Valerie de Zelikoff knew well enough what the end of such a quarrel must nat urally be. She knew her husband's fierce, Indomitable temper, and she guessed the rage that had filled De Ligny's heart at seeing her treated with violence and in dlunity. Her heart was torn in very truth she cared more for the handsome accomplished man who loved her so des- neratclv. than for her dissolute, gray haired, indifferent husban. But her re ligion had taught her faithfully the duty of sacrificing everything to right. The morning of the duel arrived, no one was on the ground but tha seconds, a doctor and hia assistant. The doctor tood near De Ligny. Friuce Zelikoff was known as a deadly shot. One, two, three, two iashes, two reports, a wild hriek, and a fall. And yet neither of the duelists was harmed or scathed. At the moment of firing the doctor's assist ant had flung hlmsejf in front of the prince, had turned up the hand which held his pistol, and received De Ligny's hot through his shoulder. De Ligny, the seconds, and the doctor rushed to- Court ward him: the prince had already raised ner of his head, and recognized Valerie de Zeli koff, his wife. The doctor explained it. He was an old friend of the family; she had gone to him and besought him to al low her to be present at the duel, urg ing that she believed herself able to pre vent it, and after much hesitation he had yielded. The wound was not a serious one; many woman would have been glad to purchase the reputation for hero Ism that came undesired to Valerie de Zelikoff at so small a price of pain. The action was thoroughly French, and as such Intensely appreciated by all Paris. It was a crown of glory to her husband, and flattered his vanity to a de gree that made him love her again as in the olden days. Great as the triumph was to Zelikoff, was the defeat to De Ligny. His amour propre could not recover from auch a terrible blow; he bad been prepared to risk his life to a well-known deadly shot to avenge an ln- ult on the woman he loved, and she had received his bullet in her own tender flesh to save the husband who had so grossly wronged her. He went away na til the affair had blown over, and then re turned to Paris with a very young, fair wife, who had been taken from convent to marry him. She adored him; he was cold and indifferent to her; nay, he al most hated her, when, six months later, Prince Zelikoff died of a fever, and the beautiful Valerie was left a widow at twenty-two. She passed year in seclu sion, then she again went into society, and, as has been said, came to London few weeka before the close of the sea son. Shs was staying in the house of Lady Dora Annesly, Mr. Hastings' cous in, and her greatest friend. Mr. Hastings saw great deal of the beautiful Frenchwoman, and admired her exceedingly. She was not like any Frenchwoman h had raefc before she did not talk much, or gesticulate, or aeem to desire admiration. She waa pale, large eyed, essentially spirituelle. The chief fascination she possessed for him was the low, musical tone of her voice. "I wish yon would come more often to ns. Errol," his cousin said; "we see so little of you. I am so anxious that Ma dame ZelikofTa visit to ns should be a pleasant one, and she always seems hap pier, brighter, when yon are there." "Yon do me too much honor," Mr. Hastines said, mockingly. "It la no empty compliment. Indeed, Errol." returned Lady Dora. "I am sure she likes yon much better than any one else who comes here. 1 on ongnt to reel flittered: the Princess de Zelikoff s cold Bess and Indlfferencs to men's sttentloi almost become proverb In Paris. I am surprised you do not prefer high- t.n.,1 n-arwfnl woman of the world, to n uninformed, almple country girl like that Miss Eyre. You see I have oiscov . r1 rnur secret." "Some men are foolish enough to prefer Innocence in women to a knowledge of the world. Dora," Mr. Uaatings an swered coldly. "Some men are foolish enough for any' ' thing." retorted Lady Dors, pettishly. , CHAPTER XVL Mof ths once Sir Howard Champion a.. I mt kla mnddaoihter. Winifred Eyre, In aoclety. He had spoken very little; and the result of his quiet scru tiny waa that he felt Unfelgnedly pleased with her. She was graceful, natural and ladylike, and possessed a certain frauk ness of manner which could not fail to win for her liking and admiration. One day he called on Lady Grace Far quhar. She and Winifred were aitting alone together in the drawing room. "My dear," he said to Winifred, 'we must not be strangers any longer. My nthM eranddauehters are coming to stay with me In Hurstshire after the season is over, and I want Lady Grace to spare vnii You will not refuse?" "I think you would like to go, dear, would you not?" Lady Grace saw, quick- vein fi-d answered a utile neiii.""- iy in the affirmative. She would rainer not have gone; but she could not bear to seem stubborn, or as if she bore mauce. Tha London season waa over, tne pam deserted, the handsome carriages gone from the streets. Winifred was staying ot itiim Manor with all her cousin u 1 . tflnr. and Keeina Id Champion, aou Laura and Ada Fordyce, Lady Valan- ton a daugnters. one naa uiei me inK notiKfantlv In town, and been on speaking terms with them; but nothing more. The elder was ratner yiiu, ui aristocratic looking, and very proud. Ada, the younger, was pretty, good-tempered and unaffected. She took to Winifred at once, and soon became very fond of her; h. hpr aster loined Wltn flora in us ing disdainful and cold to the farmer's itnnirlitpr. There were two or three young men, friends of Reginald's, staying in the house, and Mr. Maxwell, to wnom nss Phumnlnn was now formally engagea. "I hive news for you. Laura," said Reginald one day, enterlug the rooin in which were his sisters and cousins; "in deed, news for you all. Hastings is not going to Norway in his yacht, but is com ing down to the Court, and has invited several people with him, so we shall all ho enlivened a little. I hope, in this dull hole. Lady Dora Annesly is to play hostess, so there is sure to be plenty of fun." ; Some dnvs after Lady Dora Annesly arrived at the Court with her husband, a young, good-tempered man, very fond of her, and not in the least inclined to be ipnlous. There had been a very decided flirta- tlon between Mr. Hastings and Lady Dora some years ago, before she was married or engaged; they sometimes re vived it even now. He let her have her own wavward will in the matter of com lni to stay at the Court and Inviting auests and turning the old house npsid down for private theatricals, and in re turn she was very bright and kind to him and consulted his pleasure In every nossible way. Lady Dora made all her plans and Er rol carried them out. lie called on Mrs Champion, gave her some hints about the tableaus and a desire for her co-opera' tlon. She responded immediately by calling on Lady Dora, and two days at- tcrward Dora appeared at Hurst Manor, The ladles, especially the young ones, were charmed with her, she waa so brieht. so fasciuating. I There were a great many calla, conver . aations, hints, proposals and suggestions. and finally everything was arranged pre cisely as the mistress of the ceremonies had intended it should be. Then, of ! course, there were rehearsals st the lunches, dinner parties, all man pretexts for getting the young people together to perfect their parte. Scenery and dresses came down from Loudou. Mr. Hastings spared neither trouble nor expense, and the Court ball room was transformed Into an elegHnt theater. All the country round was in vited; there were to be tw hundred guests. Winifred's heart beat fast for the first time she visited Hazell Court. She re membered bow In the olden days that stately gray mansion into which she had never hoped to enter had been invested in her childlike dreams with all the ro mance which she had read of or fancied. Afterward it had been dearer still as the home of the man who had been to her a hero, a demigod. The time came to her when she had been the simple farmer's daughter, so proud, so happy to be no ticed by the handsome master of Huzell Court. How her heart had suuk within her as she saw him paying court to the beautiful, aristocratic women who seem ed then so far above her; and how little she had dreamed of the advent of a time hen she should be a more houored, more longed-for guest than they? Mr. Hastings came out to meet the par ty of ladies who had ridden over to the Court. He went up to Winifred first. and took her in his strong arms and lifted her from the saddle. Welcome! he whispered; "this is a time I have often longed for." One day she had ridden over to the Court to rehearse with Lady Dora. Mr. Hastings came in from a drive and found his cousin alone in the morning room. Pray, don t come in, Lrrol, she ex claimed; "I must not be interrupted, or Winifred will be ready first. "Is Miss Eyre here, then?" he asked. "Y'es In the picture gallery, t think. She said she could study her part best there." Mr. Hastings left the room and turned his steps in the direction of the picture gallery. It was an intensely hot after noon, and all the doors were thrown wide open. He looked into the long, uncarpet ed room, and saw there a new picture in a new frame. He stood and gsied at It longer snd with deeper feelings than he had ever gaied at any other picture there; if was the only one that was not his it was the only one he cared for or desired ardently.- Framed is the dark oak of the window setting wss lithe. graceful figure, half reclined, and a fair, npturned face. Errol half feared to break the spell that be stood watching. Pres ently impatience overcame tha fascina tion. He went toward her, snd the noise of bis footstepa aroused her. "Were you studying or thinking. Miss Eyrer he asked. "I hardly know, Mr. Hastings. Think ing, perhaps." "It is too warm to study or think, cith er. Have yon ctct seen the UaxeU por trait gallery r "Never." "Should yon like to set It?" "I should, indeed." "Come with me snd I win show It to yj?n. .Wait s moment, though: 1 Boat get the key; t slwiys'keep that room locked." She waited, looking ont of the window into the rose gardes.

A feeling half of fear crept into her heart: ne not turn; dim consciousness of what was passing in his mind seemed to over shadow her. One by one she gazed at the portraits on the wall, at the beautiful, gracious-looking women and the stalwart men, to some or wnom me yir.-ui Hastings bore such a striking likeness. Presently she dropped her eyes from the wall and turned to him. She began a sentence and then paused abruptly blood red with confusion at the Intensity of his gaze. He put his band on ners anu sayed to draw her toward him, but she nm! sharulv away, trembling and frightened. , My love, my darling: ne cneu, .u . deep, strong voice, "do not let us misun derstand each other any longer.

"I loved you once," she nait souueu loved you with all my heart, as I could never love again.

And Winifred sobbed with passionate indignation at the remembrance of her wrongs. Mr. Hastings waa rainy augi. Her tears moved him to Impatience. "Will yon never cease upnraiuing mer he exclaimed. "Have I not atoned to you ennnirh? Have I not humbled myself be fore you as I believe in irmn none or our race ever humbled himself before?

CROWELL, ETTY RAWLINS had a bank account, and a huge one at that But Betty bad a greater fortune In her face, for the was as pretty as a spring beauty, and though she was pen-ense and pouty when she wanted to be she was ordinarily as sweet as. a violet. Betty lived In the summer time at Lowland Glen, not many miles remov ed from Fort Sherman, a big garrl s n with enough young officers on duty to fill the ranks of a company had they been forced to drop the sword and shoulder the Kreg-Jorgenson. Batty loved the Military what girl doesn't? and if the truth be told Betty's heart was set on marrying Into the soldiery, but she had made up her mind secretly that he couldn't think of looking at anything less than a colonel, and when Rhe thought ef It she sigh ed, for the colonels In Uncle Sam s r. gtiiars were all so dreadfully old, and Betty was only 19, mind you. There was young Roy Lanyard: sta tinned at Fort Sherman. He was mighty good looking, Betty admitted this to herself, and it wouldn't toe a bit hard to love him, but Roy was only a captain, and nothing but a colonel would do. Captain Lanyard, to get Into the middle of things at once, was Just as desperately In love with Betty as a young soldier just o.d enough to know his own mind can be. He didn't care a rap about Betty s bank account; in fact, he never gave It a thought. It was Just Betty herself that be wanted, but he didn't dare say . Now Betty had another falling, not uncommon among American gills not old enough thoroughly to understand that Yankee husbands are the best In the world, and that was a firm belief that the Ideal cond ton In marrlfd life would be that which would come from a husband who was a combination of WHY NEW BREAD IS HURTFUL". Bakery Products Fresh from the Oven A.re Not Well Masticated. It Is a commonly accepted opinion that new bread is hurtful to people gen erallv because of th gases It contains, A well-known writer disputes this and claims that bread fresh from the ovrn Is no more Injurious than that which is stale, provided it Is masticated as tnor oughly. He says stale bread when broken between the teeth resolves Itself Into gritty particles, which, If they were not softened with saliva, would be next to impossible to swallow, conse quently man thoroughly masticates stale bread, and In doing so impreg nates It with saliva, which partially di gests and adapts It to the alimentary tract. But new bread, being soft and plas tic, is more apt to be swallowed with out mastication, or, in other words, bolted. It is in this act, he thiuks, that the Injury exists and not In the char acter of the bread. Hot rolls would be Just as digestible as stale ones if they were properly masticated. He refers in this connection to the dog as a teacher of an important physiological lesson. This animal bolts meat, but eats bread because the mouth parts are able to do little toward the digestion of meat be yond reducing It to a convenient form for swallowing. He, however, seems to overlook the fact that the dog's teeth are lily constructed for chewing, and that Is the most likely reason for his expeditious bolting of meat. Another curious fact which lie cans attention to is that stale bread Is not more dry than new. This Is shown by submitting stale bread for a short time to a high temperature. Lnder such con ditions It became soft and plastic, re gaining Its newness, and this despite the fact that some moisture must be driven off in the operation. He thinks this is explainable ou the supposition that in new bread there is free water present, but that In stale bread, while it Is still there, It Is in a state of true chemical combination. In general, ho concludes, it is a sound physiological Dlun to thoroughly masticate every morsel of food before swallowing It. CAPT. HOT tANTARD LOOKED Olf AND WAS M16ERABLB. (Suceesfor to E. L.

"Only a few weeks ago," said a maD who does collecting for a big business house lu the city, "I bad to call on a delinquent. He was a man of standing I niade bold to veuture that he was something like three months tardy, noticed his right hand was In a sling. "'Why,' he began, 'do you know I am very sorry, but I've bad an accident to my hand,' and here he made a greal show of his wounded member, 'and I haven't been able to sign any checks lately "Now, of course," the collector contin ued, "I get all kinds of excuses from all kinds of people.

Well, It was good There was not enough of me left to ask him If tW hand bad held him up for three months from making pay nients. At any rate. It detained him three weeks more." Boston Herald. Englishman and English army officer. "The colonels are younger over there," said Betty to herself, "and they are all of aristocratic family, and, oh well, Englishmen are Just too lovely for anything." The summer colony at Lowland Glen was unusually large that season. There were bunches of swell doings, as the slangy Yale eounsln of Betty would put It. The army officers from Fort Sherman were much In evidence, and one young captain In particular was very much In evidence In the vicinity of Miss Betty Rawlins. Betty saw the evidence clearly, and how she did wish that the president would retire some few hundreds of superior officers so that Roy Lanyard could tack the ab breviation "CoL" to the front part of his name. One day there was excitement at Lowland Glen. Mrs. Calumet had In vited two Englishmen, one of them an army officer, to spend the month with them at their summer home. The news reached Betty the morning after the arrival of the Calumet's two guests. Twenty young women had told her about it Let the girls alone for spreading news of this kind. "And Betty," said one of her Informants, "one of the Englishmen is a colonel In bis majesty'! service, and young and good looking at that" Bettv's heart gave a thump. "At last," she murmured to herself. The next afternoon Betty met the Englishmen at the Dexter Country Club. Her heart fluttered little as the younger of the two men the other was old and out of the running was Introduced to her. Colonel Reginald Southcote was hia name. It fairly rang of aristocracy and militarism Betty knsw that he was a simon-pure Englishman all right enough because of his name, his accent and bis clothes which didn't fit, For the next week Colonel Reglna'd Southcote was Betty Rawlin's shadow. Captain Roy Lanyard looked on and was miserable, Betty gave him two dances and about three words during the entire week. No show for one of Uncle Sam's poor artillerymen when there's one of King Edward's men with a drawl and a monocle about," sighed psor Captain Roy. Colonel Reginald Southcote was not long In finding out that Betty Raw Una had a pot of money and that she adored the military. Betty asked him one day what bis regiment was, and he replied promptly: "I am the colonel of the Royal Torlckshlre Regiment," be said. Betty had heard tales about English men pretending to be what they were not, but the colonel looked honest enough, and the girl was half ashamed of hiTself when she went to a library In the city and took down a British military gaxette from the shelf and looked for Royal Torlckshlre Regi ment She found It all right, and with the of Reginald Boutheote set down as colonel thereof. From that time Betty was very cor dial to the coloneL She turned the eoDvereatloa occasionally on the Boer as strangely silent on the subject of field service, and Betty put it down to a brave man's reticence when it came to speaking of his own acts on the field of battle." Betty might not have liked It bad she known that when she was looking up the colonel's regi ment he was making Inquiries in cer tain financial circles about the extent f her bank account. The report seem ed to please him, and be proceeded to make hay while the sun shone, and it was a particularly cloudless month at Lowland Glen. Betty knew with a girl's Intuition that an offer was not far away. She felt a pang, however, every time sne saw Captain Lanyard and saw how miserable be looked, though he tried to put a brave face on the matter. K the truth be told, Betty cried a little in the privacy of ber room when she looked at the glorious old flag floating In In the fort beyond, and sighed and sighed again. One day Lawyer Coke, who looked after Betty Rawlln'a estate, heard from a close friend that a certain Eng lishman had been inquiring about Bet ty's financial standing. "Fortune hunt er If not a fraud," said old Coke to, himself, and then, as luck would havs It, be happened to pfek up a copy of the Broad Arrow, the Journal of th: united services of Great Britain. Lawyer Coke looked at It Hia eyes fell en a paragraph and he chuckled.! He folded the paper up, put It In hli pocket and took the first train foi Lowland Glen. He marked the para graph In the paper and put It where h knew Betty would be sure to pick It up, and from the nature of the publica tion he knew she would be sure to read It from start to finish. Betty Rawlins felt that the hour wai coming when she would have to an swer a question put to her by Colonel Reginald Southcote. She was think ing of this when she picked up tbi Broad Arrow. She knew what ths paper was, for she had heard of It She read It eagerly. The date of th paper waa three months back. Thi marked paragraph caught her eye. Shi read this: "General Powell-Baden Inspected thi Royal Yorlckshlre Regiment last Thursday. It was the fltst training day of this militia organisation for i year. The new men were In poor trim, and Colonel Reginald Southcote, whe has 6een no foreign servlc? and very little at home, had hard work to glvi commands and to sit bis horse prop erly. The regiment will need overhaul ing to bring It up to even militia stand ards." The paper dropped from Betty's fing ers. "Militiaman; never saw a day'i real service; couldn't sit on hia horse;" and then Betty gasped. Her thought! turned to another paragraph that shi had rend In an American Journal. It told how one Captain Roy Landyard had received the Congressional medal of hon:r for personal gallantry In the saving of the life of a comrade under fierce fire In the Philippine Islands. Betty knew that night at the ball at the hotel that Colonel Reginald South cote was seeking her out but she avoided him. Captain Roy Lanyard met her and she smiled on him, and there was a look In her eyes that made the young uoldler's heart leap. "Won't you go for a walk with me?" he said. "Yes, she answered softly. As they passed down the hotel steps the moonllgbt fell full upon them, and Lawyer Coke, who was standing on the veranda, smiled, and, being a bit of a wag, he turned to a friend who had been watching the course events for a month past and said: "Alas! Foor Yorlckshlre." Chicago Record-Herald. Ha as Well as the Bride la Deservm ot Consideration. Rhapsodies on the bride are bountl- Iful.
