CHAPTER
4SHOTANB A STAR.


 George Foster was considerably excited over what the packman had told him in re. gard to Matthew Wilson's visitor. He was not man given to much thinking, and hitherto the thought had hardly crossed hls mind that the stranger, for whom he certainly had no great liking, was at Mill Hill wholly and solely for the purpose of making love 10 Rachel. If the idea of such q state of affairs had occurred to him he would have dismissed it quickly Was not Rachel to marry Tom Wilson. That was no secret, and this Douglas or PerCival, whatever his namc was, knew that such was the case as well as any one What the peddler told him came upon him IS thun= derclap.

 George was standing where Teddy Hud son had left him, within few steps of his own house, when he came to this full stop. Again he commenced 10 coglate Should he go i'll or walk up to Wilson's and escort his sister home3 On second thoughts he decided to stay home and leave his sister to Tom Wilson Now that his temper was reused, he could not trust himself to see this Perciyal but after nights rest he would be caimer, and would then have an interview with the scoundrel So he pre- pared to mount his horse and ride to his house, when he heard a step coming along the road i'll the direction of himself
 In another moment a well known voice exclaimed In a tone of assumed pteasautry: " Good evening, Fosteri'

VISITORS AT MILL HILL.

Of course Saturday found Matthew Will son at Weirdale, and his neighbor at the dinner table was Percival. Percival was good tall1er, able to take part in a conversa- tion on any and every subject, and in his at tempt to strengthen his acquaintance with the good farmer, he played his part so well that before he left Mir Wilson made Per ciyal promise to accompany him home on the following Saturday
 When Saturday night came round once more Pereival was an inmate of the Manor farmhouse, the guest of the Wilson's.
 He now thought he would have his own way completely, so far as winning Rachel Foster was concerned What had he, gay, handsome, cultivated and clever aristocrat to fear from simple country boys like Tom Wilsons He made up his mind, in d way that was perfectly satisfactory tO hlmself that with Rachel a mere boor like Tom Wilson would stand no chance what ever before the perseyering attention and gentle wooing of q gentleman like James Douglas Pereval, Baronet. Understand, Percival was not toolng with hIInself and did not intend any thing of the kind with Rachel. He q meant business," although at the same time he was perfectly well aware of difficulties which should have proved Insurmountablc barriers to hs woo ing, much less wedding, q pure and good woman. He could not forget that his law ful wife was, for aught he knew, alive, aye, and, for aught he knew, positively to the contrary, in London True he had Ran dolphs word that she was in America, and he certainly held the certificate of her mar riage with Randolph. But what did that amount to. Simply nothing. He knew his

Freddy Hndson was not far from the mark

Teddy Hudson was not far from the mark when he told George Foster that Percival had asked Rachel to become his wife
 Percival had been Matthew Wilson's guest for nearly six weeks and had made little progress toward the accomplishment of the object which he had i'll view. Truth to tell, Rachel rather disiked the man Soon after his arrival at Mill Hill she had unknown to him, overheard him rather loudly denounee the free-trade movement to his host, much to the satisfaction of the latter. This, too, after he had aeknowl- edged to her the truth and justice of the doctrines which she held so dear At last; as on this afternoon Percival found himself alone in the stting-room, Rachel walked in Now, thought he, was the very opportunity for which he had been waiting, so, after the usual eiyilities or greeting had passed, he commenced his suit.
 :" Miss Foster-pardon me if l call you Rachel--can you have failed to sec that, since the time first saw you in this house on that memorable evening more than two months ago, l have only had one object in lifel You must be aware that there is but one attraction for me at Mill Hill Exist ence III this dull, monotonous place would be simply unbearable were 1t not for the one bright star which shines so brilliantly in the otherwise dark Armament Rachel, will you not let me love you and care for you as my wifel Can you not believe me when I tell you that nothing should be wanting to make your life as happy as pos siblel Only give me the Itaht to protect you and you shall find my word IS good You shall be all in all to me. Do you give me any hope, Rachelp'
 While he was speaking Rachel had fallen back two or three steps, completely amazed. She had no idea whatever that Percival was staying at Mill Hill for her sake, and nothing was farther from her mind than the thought that he ever intend ed asking her to marry him.
 sMr. Douglass she sad, after moment taken to regain her accustomed composure T assure you that 1 am indeed surprised at what you have just said to me thank you for the honor you would have done me, but to be candid, 1 must tell you that were 1 not already engaged to another man, I could never marry you. Excuse me if 1 say that do not like you sufficiently l think my answer need be no plainer. Thank you and good-byen
 With that she quickly left the room. Per eiVal was now as much surprised in his turn as Rachel had been. He knew something of the quiet, graceful, vet withal plain spoken, girl with whom he had to deal, but he eer- tainly did not expect SD decided and point blank a refusal. Indeed, he had rather counted upon a favorable answer to his pleading. There he stood, this proud and selfish young arlstocrat, in the place where he had been saved, really for the eommittal of a grevious crime by the sentence passed upon him by the simple country maiden, and then, working himself into n towering rage, he left the house.

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

The best gardeners say that tho porous common pots are not so good for house plants as those glazed or painted outside. The reason is that evaporation is constant from the DOT ous pots, and the roots are not only irier but colder for it.
 Ham Patties. Chop ham fine; add sliced onion, salt and pepper to taste, and half of the quantity of soaked bread or cooked rice; mix together with two beaten eggs; make into patties; sprinkle with flour, and fry or bake in one pan with butter on top.
 Mushrooms with toast. Remove the stems, put tops side by side in butter dish, cover them with bits of butter, sprinkle with pepper and salt, and bake. Have large slices of bread nicely toasted. and lay the mushrooms on them -F'arm aud Firesiae
