Montfort thought of it a little Bit
terly now, as herode home, and after
ward, when he sat desolate and soil,
tary beside his cabin fire. He had
not heard a word during all the years
from either Hollis or her. He had
left his old life behind and it struck
him now more painfully than, per-
haps, ever before, that his new life
had not been much Improvement on
the old.
1t had been at first but a series of
sober, repentant spells when he
would dream of her and all he had
lost in her, when he would even pray,
in his incomprehensive way, to be
worthy of the love he bore her, and
alterations of wild dissipation that
would leave him shattered and weak.

the game that night instead of HOl.
lis. But that time had passed. His
stay in the West had settled him
down into a mood of steady reckless
ness and desolateness. He had sat
far into the night dreaming of all
those things that Hollis presence in
the afternoon had recalled.
He was suddenly startled by hear
ing a voice calling his name, and
without in bepale moonlight he saw
Boney Crenshaw leaning tipsily from
his wild mustang.
"Hello, " Jack!'' bawIed Crenshaw,
trying to nod his heavy head toward
the village. You're wanted over

the blanket and saddle upon his
horse, which was tethered near by.

shaw. "D'you know a feller as calls
hisself Mr.. Richard Hollis ?''
" Yes," said Jack; "what of him? ?"
"Well, thar amt nothin' good of

" He's been cheatin' at cards an Civ

Crenshaw's side.

"He warn't when / left" answered

keeping Vegetables in Winter.

One of the difficulties after vegeta-
bles have been raised is that of keep
ing them in a good state of preserva-
ton and in such a manner that they
will be easily accessible for winter use.
Fortunately, in the case of the pota-
to, which, as an all-the-year-round
vegetable, exceeds in Importance all
the others put together, it can be
stored in large quantities in any cool
situation where it will not freeze.
Most of the garden roots require
contact with moist earth for their
good keeping, and for this reason
storing them successfully is not an
easy matter. If stored in trenches or
piles on the open ground sufficiently
covered with earth to keep them from
freezing, it is often difficult to obtain
them Just when they are wanted.
This is also true of cabbages covered
with earth in any of the usual ways

1t is with pleasure TINT we receive
from Mesbrs. Macmillan & Co. II copy
of Mrs. Humpbry Wards eagerly ex-
pected novel, The History OF David
Grieye." Mrs, Ward has shown her
self to be writer OF incuntcstable
genius. Her high enthusiasm for tho
moral elevation of the race has been
as one with the artistic impulse that
has guided her pen. Like George
Eliot She has once more taught Us that
fiction, far from being a merely super
fetal representation of passing sllua-
tions and emotions, may Erapple with
the greatest problems and teach men
noble truths.
Her delineatlon of the de velopment
OF David Giieves character is unsur-
passed for insight and dellcacy OF
handling by anything in her earlier
book Robert Elsmere." The repres.
sion of his childhood OH the Derbyshire
farm, his ambitious struggle for u
footing among Manchester tladesnen,
and the sudden expansion of his emo
tional artistic nature during the visit
to Paris are told with u wonderful
power OF fascination.
Mrs. Wards people are exceedingly
human and compel a sympathy al
most painful at times. Although
David Is, OF course, tho central figul o
throughout there is interest and to
spare tor the secondary characters of
whom the best drawn are the women.
