CHAPTER XXI

| After this episode all was plain sailing.
The inmates of Eld-Field and Glen Gore
became fast friends. They were constantly
exchanging visits; constantly dropping in
upon one another at unexpected but delight
full moments; constantly lunching and dim
ing together; driving, walking, rowing,
sailing, going to church, and, in fact. doing
every thing that firm and presuming friends
| are wont to do one with another.
Day by day Fairfax's hold over the Prin-
cess became stronger and stronger, while
she never once became aware Of it. Day by
| day she began to look more eagerly for his
| appearance. Day by day she took incrcas-
| ing delight in his company, and day by day
moro and more appreciated that many-sided
and cultured intellect of his.
At last the climax came--but far sooner
and in manner far different from that
which he had planned.
Whenever at all worried. he had a habit,
as the reader may recall, of walking about,
gesticulating and muttering to himself, his
head cast down and his eyes fixed on the
ground.
One morning it SO happened that, while
waiting for Natalie to descend from her
room, he thoughtlessly allowed himself to
fall into a revcric. The old-timc worries
and troubles, his uncertainty. the vllainy
of his present proceed gs-all arose before
him in gigantic proportions. He sighed
dccply,and began his customary promenade
and audible utterance of his thoughts. With
clenched fists, corrugated brow, and lo1g,
uneven strides, he paced about the room,
muttering to himself:
my God! what shall !, what can DOR
How long this had continued he never
could be certain, but he suddenly became
aware that he was not alone.
He hastily looked up, and there in the
doorway, holding the curtain aside with one
lovely hand and carrying in the other her
pretty walking sacque that she was about
to don for little stroll with her caller,
stood Natalie, gazing with all the intensity
OF her dark eyes upon this strange proceed
ing on the part of her hitherto cheerful COM
panion.
Her face, strangely pallid and perplexed,
expressed q most curious mixture of grief,
reproach and commiseration-grief over his
apparent distress, reproach toward herself
at not having hitherto appreciated the mag
nitude OF his worriment, and toward him at
not having confided in her: and commisera-
ton that desired to expend itself in active
and immediate assistance.
But permeating all, above all. and far out
true woman ever gives. on even can give, to
more than one man in her life time.
Fairfax saw and recognized it. In a
moment the control over his feelings and
countenancc was lost, He had been taken at
unawares in all points. The warm blood
surged in torrents over his face. His eyes

The fatal moment had come to Natalie,
and she awoke to find herself Il woman.
The scales were torn from her eyes, and
her supposed friendship confronted her in
all its true and soul-stirring proportions.
The fatal moment also had come TO her

for, sinned for, and dreamed about was his,

fss Importance OF Keeping the Cream
Cool and Clean.
II the temperature is kept low--say
forty to fifty degrees Fahrcnhcit-it SO
much retards fermcntivc change that
practically an even condition of cream
may be secured. Then. when two or
three. or more, skimmings have been
combined. they can be evenly ripened
in one batch. This is one of the advan-
tages of rapid cooling and refrigera-
tion-proyided the temperature Of the
cream is kept down until it is warmed
up in the process of ripening. But
while cold it must not be exposed to q
warm and impure atmosphere. If it is,
the air will rapidly condcnse on its SUR
face. in the form of dew, and the cream
will rs rapidly absorb impurities and
bad odors. In warming up for ripen-
ing. great care should be taken to ex-
clude impure air. If, until the desired
temperature is reached. all air is ex-
cluded. the souring will progress more
rapidly than the oxydation, and the
flavor correspondingly suffer. But rs
soon rs the cream is rs warm as the
surrounding air, this condensation and
absorption would cease.
Perfect milk is prime necessity in
butter-making. 1t must be secretcd by
healthy cows. fed on sweet, wholesome
and nutritious food. and having plenty
of clean, sweet water drink. 1t must
be drawn into clean pals, carefully
washed, thoroughly scalded with boil
ing-not simply hot-water. and WELL
aired. 1t must not be exposed to y
foul atmosphere. loaded with bacteria
and fungola germs which fall into the

ing drawn as possible, and with MS little
agitation and cooling as possible. Tho
farther the temperature has to fall
ranging from blood-heat to forty de-
grees--the mere complete the separa-
ton of the cream from tho milk will be-.
The fall of temperature may be in
either cold water or cold air. Cold
water permits of deep setting. while
cold air always demands shallow set
ting.
! With tho conditions right, it is just
as easy to make perfect butter as it is
to make imperfect The difference in
quality is as much owing to difference
in conditions as to any thing, and per-
haps all other things combined. Hence.
when we consider the complex compo-
sition of milk. its sensitiveness and the
sensitiveness of the COW to surrounding
conditions, we never visit an average
dairyman and his surroundings without
marvcling that SO much good butter,
instead of that SO mnch bad butter, is
found in the market. We need better

THE DAIRY.

"A dairyman should keep rs many

not economical to divide the food among
a large number. when the same results
can be secured from smaller number,

-Ifyou feel tempted to swear ut the
cow. dip a quart Of milk out Of the pail
and pour it on the ground. The effect
will be the same, so far as the loss is
concerned, but your moral nature will

Milk fever may be best prevented
by keeping the bowels of the COW in

which is to avoid any thing like cos

A cleanly-kcpt COW, says foreign

an agreeable, sweet odor, and quite
free from any faint or injurious quality

is simply because such cows arc rare,
and this is the reason why the very best
