CHAPTER Nv.

In Dunmonaigh old-fashioned laws
were kept, and by half-past 10 every
inmate of the house was in bed, and the
doors barred and chained; but on the
night of the day after Evan Macmon-
achs funeral, some one was stirring
even at midnight.
The night was very fine. The lOch
lay like sheet OF silver in the light OF
the moon: there was not a ripple on the
surface-not a cloud on the purple sky.
Secretly and softly as thief in the
night, Angus MacmOnach opened the
little door, descended the steps to the
boat, and pushed off into the silent loch.
Swiftly flew the little boat; Angus
foot touched the opposite shore, and
wrapping his plaid round his breast. he
mounted the hill.
In the manse all likewise slept-As-
sunta with her child in her arms worn
out with weeping and sorrow. No one
heard steaIthly movements below, The
manse was never barred nor locked up
at night ''There are no robbers here. -
Master Malcolm would say; land should
robbers come, here is nothing to rob-" SO
without let or hinderance Angus found
himself alone in the Minister'S room.
1t was bitterly cold, but he wiped the
drops from his brow as he drew from his
pocket large bunch of KEYS and knelt
down by the table.
He tried one key after another-would
none fit yet the lock was common one.
Another and yet another; at last, with a
loud crack which made Angus vibrate
from head to foot, the lock flew back
and the packet was before his eyes.
Quickly and softly he unrolled it's folds
by the light of the cleaning moon; he
took out the precious papers; he thrust
in blank sheets instead; retied the green
ribbon and labels. Angus must strike a
light; how loud the match sounded! it
thrilled hiE1 through and through. All
had been thought of-the red was was
pressed down, and he bent over and
sealed it anew with his brothers ring.
The baby moved restlessly in her slice, D
and Assunta pressed her closer, half
opening her weary eyes,
Hush, hush, darling! sweet little one,
sleep. God watches over the fatherless
and widow"
Swiftly the little boat crossed the lCch
again, and there was no movement Or
liz hit in the windows of Dunmonaigh.

LADY MAJENDlE
CHAPTER I-Continued.

The morning had begun to dawn, and
the cold, blue light shone in on the de-
serted rooms; all the servants were gone
TO bed save the watchers in the death
room, when Lady Grisel stole down once
more to gaze on the face of the dead.
The women drew back when she entered
and left Der alone; the dreary light filled
the room, and outside the wind had sunk
to whispering moan.
Angus was at the door when she came
out and she put her hand into his that
he might lead her away, her heart yearn-
ing for sympathy. AS they went to-
gether, one of the women touched Angus's
arm, and held out something to him. 1t
was his brothers signet ring. A strange
feeling made him SILVER from head to
loot as he placed it on his finger.

CHAPTER V.

Assunta rose on the following day with
the heavy weight on her heart Of one
about to go through a painful ordeal.
She could scarcely touch the food ker-
enhappuch placed before her; and as the
time for their going to DunmOnaigh ap-
preached, she grew hourly paler and
paIer.
Early in the morning Master Malcolm
had sent over a message to Lady Grisel
asking her at what hour it would suit her
to receive them, and the answer came
that at midday would be best; so when
the sun was rising high in the Heavens
they started together
Assunta had need of the good Min
listers arm, for never had road seemed
so long or so rough. An unspoken feel
ing made master Malcolm choose to go by
the road rather than by the loch. 1t
seemed to his simple mind that, humble
as she might be, Evan Macmonach's
wife should enter her husbands home by
it's principal entrance with all dignity.
Long as the way seemed at first, AS
sunta thought it all too short when they
stood before the great doors.
courage, my child-summon up all
your courage" said her kind friend; and
he rang the bell, which resounded
through the house.
In one short moment they found them
selves in the presence of Lady Grisel and
her son.
They were sitting at the end Of a long
library; the blinds were still drawn, and
the dark furniture of the room, with its
tiers upon tiers of old books, gave it a
gloomy aspect.
Lady Grisel rose from her seat when
she saw them, and saluted them gravely.
Angus did not rise when they came in,
but sat leaning back in his chair, studi-
ouslY endeavoring to appear mere
spectator Of the scene.
Lady Grisel desired both to be seated
and then leaning forward with one ell
bow on the table she began
master Malcolm, in matter of vital
! Importance such as this is, we will lose
no time in idle parley. understand
that you consider that you hold proofs
of my sons marriage with this ladY?"
The Minister bowed.
This lady will not object resumed
! Lady Grisel, ''to answering what ques-
| tions l may see fit to make before we
proceed to examine her papers?'
NO" said Assunta, putting back the
dark hair from her brow, and raising her
face: 81 will answer all that you ask
me-"

''At st. Agnes Catholic chapel in

Again Lady Grisel glanced at her book,
and saw recorded a letter from Evan,
dated from Gleniyre, whittier. he said.

Corn for Cows at Calying Time.

Old farmers who have had great
success in managing cows about to
calve say that a few ears of corn
giving daily in the ear have an excel
lent effect in making an easy deliv-
cry, and preventing the loss that Of
ten result in loss both of cow and
calf. 1t is likely that effect of soft
corn in the ear to loosen the bowels is
the reason for their use. Cows fed
on sllage are usually little troubled
giving birth to their calves, especially
is they have not been closely confined.

Three Essentials for Corn.

There is nothing like clover for
corn, writes A. B. Barrett in the
American Cultivation. 1t Will make
a good crop of this cereal when other
favorable surroundings are often lack
ing. No crop produces so much to
the acre as corn, and it is natural to
suppose that it draws heavy draughts
upon the soil where it thrives. Glover,
on the other hand, takes little from
the soil and adds much 10 it, These
two crops are consequently we'll
adapted to each other, and the farmer
who understands their proper rela-
tions Is pretty sure to make money
and keep his farm from degenerating.
Corn should come in rotation right
after clover. A heavy clover sod
turned under for corn gives universal
satisfaction, and such sod should be
plowed and narrowed thoroughly two
or three weeks before the corn is
planted. There is a great deal Of
vegetable life in the soil that must
have a chance to decompose and nj
trify. Glover sod turned under and
mellowed thoroughly in this way pro-
yides vast amount of ready food for
the corn plants, and the supply keeps
increasing as the season advances. A
short following Of clover sod before
planting is Of inestimable value. The
sun gets a chance to warm the soil,
and great many Of the seed weeds
get an early start, which can be de-
stroyed before the corn is planted.
There is also benefit derived from
the fact that the cut worms get into
the pupa state then before they do
much harm.
The three essentials to good corn
culture are clover, manure. and good
cultivation. Glover sod is indisputa-
bly, the finest that can be had for
corn, and large crop Will often be
raised on such soil well prepared when
the other two essentials are partly
neglected. But we need manure be-
sides, and heavy manuring is the only
thing that farmers should be satisfied
with. Land worth 800 per acre
must be heavily manured to get the
moneys worth from it Such land is

lized the attention OF operators.
Sugar was decidedly stronger, rising
from 1874 to S27s. The rise was ascribed
TO covering OF shorts. New England was
hrmer on Boston advices that the COM
pany would certainly meet its January

vance at the start. suddenly broke TO

The CABOT Cases Go Over to January 10Th

with cmbezzement and forgery. which
was To have been begun I'm the Hastings
Court Monday. has been postponed until
January 10th Colonel Spotswood. Com
monwealth's Attorney. announced TO the
court that owing 10 the sickness OF the
bOok-kecpcr Of the Live oak DistilleTy
Company. who are the prosecutors, he
had not been able to make up the ac-
counts in the case. and that he Spots
wood would not be ready 10 begin the
examination Monday.
Mr.. G. V Meredith. counsel for the
accused. called attention to the fact that
ne recently asked that the prosecution
send here all the books containing re-
cords OF MIR. Cadets transactions with
the concern. but that they had not yet
been received.
Judge Wit, said that IL might be ne
ccssary for Mr.. Cadot TO look over these
books. but did not determine the point
as TO whether they should be brought to
Richmond.
Mr.. Meredith moved. in view OF the
prosecution not being ready 10 go ahead
with the trial. that the bail bond be re-
duced. He thought that a continuance
Of a bond Of 5000 would be a hardship
unnecessarily imposed upon his client
His motion was that il be placed at 5000
Colonel SpOtswooi offered no objection to
such reduction. and the Court agreed
10 it. Mr. CABOT gave his renewed bond
yesterday.
