irrigation. OF the brown races, the
Arabs generally prefer abstemiousness

when laboring for themselves, dispo-

selves had said and done. And In this
he was right.
For it must be confessed that Lettie,
having accidentally discovered the mis-
take he was under, had insisted on
JEANNE helping her to keep up the de.
ception- The old Squire had noticed
nothing; but it was not lost on the keen
sighted lover that JEANNE wore beauti-
full jewelry in the evening and Lettle
the quietest of ornaments.
The Squire's mirth and Philips in
dignation waxed apace. Had his uncle
not been an old man. and one to whom
he owed much, Philip felt that he must
have knocked him down. He never
felt so CALLED in his life.

Imposing! pray, how so, sir? asked
Philip, bridling up for the ladies when
so ugly word was used.
"My dear boy" returned his uncle,
rising and putting his hand on his
nephew's shoulder, '.you jump to sud
denly at conclusions. Miss PtiLtimOre
IS the heireSS.'
Philip turned deathly pale; then sank
on to his chair, buried his face in his
hands, and groaned aloud.

did not know what they were doing.
Cheer up. Phil. l said before, go

the Squire.
