the sea, Clarry, is so fine.
The sea, the sea, the open sea,

said Clara.

"IIigh enough it Is, Clarry.'
The horse seemed to he of Clara's mind
and either because he had become accus-
toned to the accidents in the doctors life,
and knew that his own instinct was his best
guide under the circumstances, he turned
his steps towards the path running from the
beach, struck into the road leading to
lothian, and took firm and steady gait for
home, apparently unmindful of the eccen-
trio management of his driver, who drove
and talked with equal wildness. Clara
possessed her soul in peace. The day
which had dawned so brightly was heavy
and gloomy enough now. Her dream was
over. Her profound respect for DIR. Par
ker, her admiration of his power, her faith
in his integrity and labor, were all gone
and in the midst of the ruin and darkness
she saw the bright form of Charles Ingalls,,
who seemed 10 haunt and reproach and

bewildered her, who, until this hour, had

drive home was dreadful to her. DIR. Par
ker became quiet enough at last TOO quiet.
The silence was worse, if possible, than the
noise. And as the horse pursued his steady
course along the road, she pondered and
pondered upon her sudden trial hoped il

This was enough for Clara. Glow

know that be who could speak nationally

"Well," said the doctor, hardly yet real
izing what had occurred since leaving the
hotel; "the drive has been very short,
Clara, has it not? And really hope you
have enjoyed the day and the walk on the
beach and the cheer of our party. But
here we are, at your fathers house."

home, what a cruel thing he had done, and
how wicked'y and thoughtlessly he had be-
clouded the life of that young eirl. The
night was horrible to him.
The kiss Of Clara's old mother, who sat in
the moonlight of the cottage window, wait

The village was filed for weeks with
pleasant talk about the excursion. DIR.
Parker returned to his old exclusive ways,
no one knew exactly why. Clara Bell be-
came companion of the matrons, strong
and wise woman, suddenly from brilliant
girlhood and nobody understood that. The
summer waned. Winter came on. The
club resumed its meetings.
Mr. Howe and John Thomas, as soon as
Thanksgiving was over, met to renew their
work as committee to organize the meet
ings and provide topics of discussion for
the club. Mr. Hopkins had offered his par
Tors once more as n place of meeting and
notices were issued to the members, re-
minding them that the subject still under
discussion was
FERTILIZERS AND FERTILIZATION.
The members of the club assembled with
unusual alacrity and promptness. Mr..
Hopkins called them to order, and, having
suggested that the first business was the
election of officers for the year ensuing,
was quite gr.,itied with the action of Peter
Haley, who rose aud moved that the pres
ent officers he requested to serve another
year, and supported his motion with re-
marks which really convinced Mr.. Hop
kns that he was more of Il favorite in
lothian than any man had right to ex-
pect to be after two years of busy residence
there. The motion haying been carried
unanimously, Mr.. Hopkins expressed his
thanks in n feeling manner for the compli-
ment bestowed upon him. He reminded
the club of the valuable discussions which
they had carried on the previous season,
and expressed the opinion that not only in

vestigations He had marked the course
of his neghbos during the summer season
which had just closed and he felt proud
to say that the cattle and crops of lothian
gave evidence of increasing zeal and intel
ligence in the farming community. For
himself, the season had been one of great
agricultural prosperity, and he found as
time went on that his new occupation IN
life was becoming more and more dear to
him, and he sincerely hoped his example
would be more and more valuable to the
community in which his lot had been SO
fortunately cast. He then announced the
subject once more, and called on any men,
Der present to open the debate.
The debate which followed was exceed
ingly discursive, owing to the constant ten
dency of the members to dwell upon their
own experience during the summer. and to
branch off into the incidents of their farms.
1t was voted, therefore, that Mr.. Howe,
