Canada This IL Rust.

Professor Arthur, of tho New York
experiment station, mentions the rust
on the Canada thistle as one of the few
instances in which fungi are beneficial,
by preying upon noxious plants. II
pervades the whole plant, producing its
spores chiefly on the under surface OF
the leaves. 1t is voracious feeder,
and the thistle is much weakened by it,
preventing it from setting seed. When
a thistle is seen infested with this rust
which may be known by the brown
spores which thickly clothe the under
surface of the leaves, it should be al
lowed to stand, so as to spread the dis
ease. 1t lives on no other plant. Ii
will not probably ever exterminate this
thistle, but may prove a useful aid.

II was Just thinking Of sending note

Pray don't say no, for in that case I
shall feel sure that you scorn anything
like provincial festivity."
"You are very kind, MICS Denison,"
was his reply, land nothing would give
me more pleasure than to accept your
invitation if 1 were not intending to
leave Cisborough to- night"
"But why should you leave it, said
the young lady, Eat least, until late ?
You mean, of course, that you are only
going out to'Scarfell. do you not ?"
II regret to say my meaning is that |
am going to much more remote regions.
I leave by the late express.

lady, pleadingly. lis there any partic-
ular reason why you should Can you
not stay until tomorrow Can I offer
you no inducement to stay-not even q
dance with Constance 2"
Few things could have been more
distasteful to Charters than the arch
expression which accompanied the last
words but they suggested a thought to
him. He was debating the question
mentally when Miss Denison stopped
him, and her words suggested an i'm
mediate solution of it.
By yielding to her request he pro-
vided himself with an excuse for not
leaving and although he entertained
little hope that he should see Constance,
there was shadow ola chance that he
might do so.
These reflections passed swiftly
through his mind before he answered.
"You tempt me very much and
since there is no pressing reason for my
going to night think 1 shall defer my
departure in order to accept your invi-
tation. 1t will be pleasant memory to
carry away, as q close to nv exceedingly
Pleasant visit to This part Of the coun-
try"
Miss Denison was delighted, and ex-
pressed her delight frankly.
Then urging upon him that he must
not change his mind she drove away,
charmed with herself and with her
power to grasp On opportunity.

Miss Denison, greeting Constance effus-

this afternoon, and induced him to delay
his departure-(of course you know he
was intending to leave by the night ex-

Are you not heart broken at the thought
of his going? 1 know should be if he
were my admiror."
Constance puts up her lip and her
shoulder with pretty carelessness.

CHAPTER XVIII.

The mingled glory and decay Of an.
| tnmn is upon earth, aud the summer
nights, with all their stars and poetry,
have passed away, when Constance. ON
day Of Int September, stands at the
hall door ct Monkston, and looked out
on the soft beauty OF the scene before
her.
She is not exactly the same Constance
who parted with Charters on that night
now two months gone by. She looks
older, and little more grave she has
less of piquant girlishness in her up
pearance, and more Of the selfpoise
Of one who has tested herself and learned
her own powers.
Indeed, so far as her power to attract
is concerned, she has lately had good
opportunity to learn its full extent, for
Immediately following Charters depar-
ture, Mrs. Farquharson carried her away
on q tour of Continental travel.
At the majority Of these gay resorts
Miss Melfort was admitted to be the
bell of the season and Mrs. Farquhar-
sGn rejoiced in all the homage and
incense as if it had been offered to
herself.
Nor was Constance OF all Indifferent to
the admiration which she excited. The
diversion had been well and wisely
planned on her aunt's part, and its sue
cess was all that the foresight Of that
lady desired.
Had the girl remained at home, there
was every probability that, by the mere
concentration Of thought upon her
absent lover, she would have drifted into
The deep waters of q grande passion but
Mrs. Farquharsor, with profound dis
crust of that gentleman determined that
he should be "put out of her head. and
in certain measure she succeeded in
that desirable end
Scanty time for thought of the absent
had Constance for two months and
more and now that she was ut home
again, it remained to be seen how far
the impression of her summer romance
had been effaced or yet survived.
It Is likely that she has asked herself
this question as she stands looking
thoughtfully over the lawn and garden.
Only yesterday she had returned
home to-day she has begun to gather
up the scattered threads of daily exist
,nce, and with these are intertwined
many associations that carry her thoughts
uck to tbs weeks preceding her depar-
cure. While she is thus

and Bert and Davy had the circle of
their society enlarged by the arrival of
two visitors, Fanny and Lula, who had
come to spend the day.
The state in which Kate that day ex-

caused mainly by jealousy. Her mind
had long been revolving gloomy SUBJ
ject, namely, that her mother didn't love
her. 50 much as she did the other chill

it more or less ever since the day her

would have looked so at me; she never
looks that way at Danny. 1t didn't
