usual with the dinner, and this, know

made her feel nervous and iidgety.
However, to her surprise, he ate with

thing was out of the way. He seemed
unusually distracted, as if he were in.

length he said abruptly
"Janet, did you come to this Coun-
try in the year 184O?"
YES, sir" answered Janet, in sur
prise. "But how did you know"

Another silence.

"Eight years, sill"
"YOu have been very faithful. I
have been very we'll satisfied with
your services"

said Janet, in increased surprise. II
am sorry the dinner isn't better cook

contrary"
"The dinner is excellent" said Greg,

81 hope that you will always stay
with me, Janet"
II am sure, sir" said the astonished
house-keeper, 81 shall be happy to do
so; that is, ii YOU are satisfied with

Satisfied with you! Perfectly. But

You will not be SO cruel as to re-

"But you are only joking, sir"

rious."
Il have always thought a great
deal of you, Mr.. Gregory" said the
spinster, hesitating, "and if you de-
sire it very much, II don't know
that have any objection"
The enraptured Gregory jumped to
his feet, and crossing to the opposite
side of the table, imprinted a chaste
salute upon the faded cheek of the
staid spinster.
You shouldn't do so, Mr.. Greg
ory," said she with faint scream.
"Why shouldn't /, as we are going
to be married? But say, Janet, will
you be ready to have the ceremony
performed tomorrow"

startled by his precipitancy. ~

promptly. "Just put on the best
dress you have That will do we'll
enough, AS for the finery which, 1
suppose it's natural enough for q
woman to want, you shall have as
much of that as you want after mar
riage."
81 won't hear any but" said Greg
DRY, decisively. "Say yes or no.
Will you be ready to be married to-
morrow at twelve?"
Eyes said Janet, who had been SO
much in the habit OF obeying her en-
ployer, that she did not realize the
different relationship he was about
to. hold to her.
Then will tell the Reverend Mr..
Smith to be here at that time. By
the way, I shall prefer to have it a
private ceremony, without any I'M
necessary parade
This suited Janet also. The next
day at twelve, the ceremony was cele
brated, and Janet Campbell became
Mrs. John Gregory.
1t was on the morning succeeding
the marriage. Mr.. Gregory having
despatched his first cup of coffee, re-
marked:-
by the way, Janet, I find some
thing in the paper that concerns
you"
Concerns me?"
"Yes;" and the gentleman read
aloud the adve1 tisement, with which
the reader is familiar.
There, Janet, what do you say to
that? There's q windfall for you.

Gregory, in great uneasiness. Didn't
you have an Uncle Robert?"
81 never had any uncle at all. She
had an uncle, however,"
On visiting Mr.. Brief, Mr.. Gregory
found it was too true. The true
Janet Campbell had called upon him
and established her claims. He had
become the 10 OF the wrong Janet al.

Glover Seed on Narrowed Surface.
Many of the failures of clover seed
on heavy soil are due to it's becoming
compacted by spring rains before the
seed is sown. There are two ways to
insure catch, one by sowing very
early and allowing rains to cover the
seed. This often covers it too deeply
and some of the seed may not come
