these triun1phs Of American gold on
British soil, there is not a woman in
the country who will fail to be inter-

English aristocracy. The English artist
who reproduced them for the New

most accurately drawn.

one of the very best times to fatten

it is very important that the hogs be.
kept in a good thrifty condition during.
the summer, and one Of the. advantages
secured in keeping thrifty is that a bet
ter opportunity is afforded Of taking adj
vantage of the market in the fall.
With hogs, as with nearly or quite all
other classes Of stock, one Of the safest
rules to follow is to market whenever
a price can be realized that will give
a good return Of profit, and it is very
often the case that early in the fall
better price can be realized for good
fat hogs than at any other time during
the fall and winter {
In many cases it will pay better to
purchase middlings or bran and oil
meal and feed literally until new corn
is ready to feed. In many cases, even
after it is ready to feed, middlings can
be fed in connection with it to a good
advantage and in a measure at least
at lower cost. While it is not gen
orally best to attempt to fatten hogs
while the weather is hot, yet it will
not be best to keep thrifty "A thrifty
animal mi will fatten very rapidly if put
on good fattening ration, especially
early in the fall, and generally the
quicker they can be fattened the more
profitable the feeding.
There her is another advantage and that
is BY fattening early there is a less risk
OF loss. At times this is special adj
vantage. There is always some risk,
but when there is contagious disease

considerable loss.

was in fine trim for the wedding, the
bridal trousseau almost completed,
and even the ring bought, when an
awful thing took place.
Mr.. Michaud and Doctor Mansfield,
the father of his prospective son-in-
law, while playing a game of domin-
oes, fell into a quarrel. At Grst,
really a polite one, then an angry,
then furious one.
Doctor Mansfield called Mr.. Mich
aud cheat, and Mr.. Michaud called
the doctor liar
The doctor gathered the dominoes
In his hands, and was about to hurl
them at the head of Mr.. Michaud. He
thought better of it, however, caught
up his hat, stuck it on his head side
ways, crammed his fists into his pocl1-
cts and, without an ''adieu," marched
out of the house, calling his son to
follow him.
The end of the affair was dissolu-
ton of the matrimonial engagement
between Theodore and Rosine.
In vain Theodore demonstrated. In
vain Rosine wept. The old gentle
men were not to be moved by the
unhappiness of the young folks All
the deeds that had been drawn up
were Cancelled. The little house which
had been furnished for the bride and
groom was let to family temporarily
sojourning in the place, and the lovers
were forbidden to speak another word
to each other as long as they lived.
At last, having bribed Rosines
maid to keep his secret, he confded to
the hands of the girl letter to her
mistress, in which he begged her to
steal from the house that night and
wait under the pear trees beside the
garden wall. until he should come to
her.
Rosine, who had never disobeyed
her parent in her life, felt as guilty
as though she were about to commit
a murder, when she stole out of the
side door to keep the rendezvous; but,
nevertheless, her heart beat high with
hope at the thought of meeting Theo-
dore once more, and when at last she
saw through the darkness a form
gradually rise above the wall, and
proceed to ascend by means of a rope
which was fastened on the other side,
she with difficulty refrained from
screaming aloud.
''Theodore!' she whispered; ooh,
Theodore! my Theodore! That it
should be wrong for me to meet thee!
that we, who were once betrothed
lovers, should come to this!''
But the next moment he had caught
her hands and kissed them, and she
forgot all but that they were together.
This was the first meeting, but il
was not the last. Night after night,
when the old gentleman was asleep,
snoring peacefully, Theodore and
Rosine sat side by side, more familiar
ly than they ever had done before, in
the garden under the pear trees,
while Nannette, the maid, kept watch
outside the little side door.
All this had been going on for some
time, when one night Rosine took he1
